79 Mighty Tiger Prison. Heroes of the world
Cao Cao's wish is destined to be just wishful thinking, in the face of the 150,000 army led by Yuan Shao, the Xiliang Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage, no matter how brave he is and his combat strength is good, he will not choose to fight hard with the Kwantung coalition army in Xingyang.
The best place to snipe is, of course, the Tiger Prison between the mountains.
Tiger Prison Pass is located in the northeast of Yin Chenggao County, Henan Province, and its location can be described as unique. Kannan is surrounded by mountains, a large river in the north, and a cliff.
As soon as this pass is lost, Luoyang will be completely open, and there will be no danger to defend.
If you want to enter Luoyang from the eastern part of the country, you must pass through this pass, and you can only cross the big river north to bypass Hanoi County, and then cross the river to attack Mengjin and Wushejin, or detour to Yingchuan and attack Yique Pass, Dagu Pass or Yuyuan Pass. Not to mention the detours of these two roads, the passes are not decorations, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But even if there is this Xiongguan as a basis, in the face of the 150,000 troops of the Kwantung Coalition Army, Li Dao, the commander of the Western Liang Army, still did not dare to be careless, and urgently recruited soldiers and horses from all over the country.
The troops of Fan Chou, who were stationed in Mengjin, Wang Fang, Yang Ding, Yiqueguan, Duanxuan, Hanxian, Xuanyuan, and Guo, who were stationed in Luoyang, were all reduced to a minimum, and all the troops that could be mobilized were concentrated in Hugao Pass.
Even the generals who commanded the army also concentrated as much as possible at the Tiger Prison Pass, and Hu Zhen, Yang Feng, and Li Su all led their troops to arrive.
In addition, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, as well as Zhang Ji of Chang'an, also led their troops to arrive.
The generals of Kansai can be said to have worked together and gathered in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the battle is related to the gains and losses of Luoyang, the control of the court, and the principled issue of whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east.
But even so, the army that the Kwanti Coalition Army was able to gather was only 60,000 horses, which was still much inferior to the 150,000 army of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
On the high wall, the generals of the Guanxi region, headed by the general of the chariot and cavalry, Li Dao, gathered here, overlooking the camp of the Kwantung coalition army ten miles away from the pass, and looked far away.
The large camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army stretched for several miles, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
Lu Bu was also among them, among the generals in Kansai, Li Su was the closest to him, and at this moment, seeing Lu Bu looking at the coalition camp, he seemed to be thoughtful, Li Su asked with a chuckle: "What are you thinking about Feng Xian?" ”
"Haha, nothing, nothing, I'm just thinking, what heroes of the world will I see here in this war?"
This is what Lu Bu said in his heart, in the Kwantung Coalition Army, he has seen the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, as well as the generals Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu and Han Dang under his account, and also met the general Ji Ling under Yuan Shu's account, and when he was in Yingchuan, he saw Shan Fu, but it is still impossible to verify whether he is the famous Xu Shu in later generations.
In the first battle of Xingyang, he chased and killed the hero Cao Cao and fled, fought his general Xiahou Yuan, and met Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and the veteran Zhu Jun.
These people, in later generations, were all very prestigious, and what we see now is indeed worthy of the name.
So this time, just before the Tiger Prison Pass, which fierce generals can you see?
As for the strategists, this was not yet the time for them to shine on the stage, and besides, they were usually hidden behind the scenes, and Lu Bu did not expect to see them here.
If Lu Bu knew that the list of all the people gathered in the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army at this moment, he would definitely be so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he couldn't close it halfway.
At this time, it is almost the end of March, late spring and early summer, in the afternoon, the mountain breeze blowing has some obvious dry heat, and even the high sun has begun to turn from warm to hot.
At this moment, the camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army outside the pass suddenly opened three gates on the left, middle and right, and each had a man and horse galloping out, like three streams of water pouring out, and then gathered in one place and stopped a few miles away in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.
The person who came did not carry a big flag, and he couldn't see which way it was, but in the bright afternoon sun, a few miles away, everyone could still see clearly, there was only one person in the center, and everyone else was like the stars and the moon, and they surrounded him in the middle.
"Yuan Shao?"
Lu Bu muttered in a low voice, and Li Su on the side nodded, and responded: "It should be him, bold enough, to dare to come to the customs so swaggeringly and peek at the customs affairs." ”
From Li Su's words, Lu Bu heard a little disdain, and was eager to try, turned his head to look at him, and nodded slowly, the meaning was very clear, and he suggested that the general of the cavalry, Li Dao, would also lead everyone out of the customs and meet Yuan Shao and his party.
Before Li Su could speak, one person shouted angrily: "What a bold man, he actually underestimated the heroes of Kansai so much!" Just let me out of the customs and meet them! ”
There was no need to turn his head to look, Lu Bu knew that it was the teenager Ma Chao who made the noise.
He was fifteen years old, and he had such extraordinary force, except for being classified as extremely talented, Lu Bu couldn't think of a better explanation. Just like himself, on the way to practicing martial arts, he is like a fish in water, he knows what he can learn, and he can learn what he has learned without a teacher.
This talent cannot be learned, but having talent is only one thing, whether you can achieve something, acquired efforts, and tempering are equally important. As a military general, if you have not gone through the baptism of blood and fire, and have not experienced the tribulations of life and death, it is difficult to achieve great success.
At the moment when Lu Bu was distracted, the hahadaxiao voice of the chariot general Li Dao sounded, and he was immediately heard to say heroically: "Okay, if it is really a hero out of a young man, since Yuan Shao has the courage to come to provoke, how can I lose to him!" You can bring elite guards, let's not bring an army, go and meet the Kanto heroes for a while! ”
Lu Bu nodded again and again in his heart when he heard this, this Li Dao, who was originally hidden under Dong Zhuo's wings, was inconspicuous, but now he has entered Luoyang, which fully shows his pride.
As a military general, and from the Kansai Prefectures, which are known for their martial bravery, on the battlefield, they have always been afraid that the enemy is too cowardly, and they will not be afraid that the enemy is too strong.
After a while, three cannons rang out, the door of the Tiger Prison Pass was wide open, and the general of the chariot and cavalry, Li Dao, took the lead, led everyone to gallop out, and injected into the open space in front of the pass.
Lu Bu followed among the crowd, only with three hundred guards led by Song Xian and Hou Cheng, at this time, he could not steal the limelight of the general Li Dao, although he knew in his heart that although the trajectory was different from his memory, he could think deeply from the fact that Li Dao and the four of them jointly controlled the government, once the Kwantung Coalition Army dispersed and there was no external pressure, the Kwantung Coalition Army was afraid that it would follow in its footsteps and go their own way.
And there is a class of scholars led by Situ Wang Yun who are dormant in the court, and in time, they will definitely find the flaws of Li Dao and others, so as to use their means to break through each one.
At that time, Li Dao's scenery will definitely come to an end.
However, even if Lu Bu didn't want to steal the limelight, at the moment of confrontation between the two sides, the red rabbit horse was fiery and red, tall and handsome, and Lu Bu, who was riding on the red rabbit horse, was also tall and his eyes were like electricity, and he still unconsciously grabbed a lot of attention from Li Dao.
Li Dao stepped forward alone, pointed forward with the halberd in his hand, and pointed at Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, who was standing in the center opposite, and shouted loudly: "Yuan Shao, since you are here, why don't you come forward to fight, our two chariot generals, we will end this battle here, how about it?" ”
The people on the opposite side were all quite indignant, but behind Li Dao, they were all hahadaxiao, and they were very proud of Li Dao's words.
The Kanto to the Kansai, the leaders are all chariot generals, and the leaders are subordinate to the captains. Everyone knows that Li Dao did this purely after learning that Yuan Shao was the commander of the general of the chariot cavalry, and he deliberately did so, the purpose of which was to let everyone in the world know that Yuan Shao's chariot general was fake, and he, the chariot general, was genuine, and he was the one who was worshiped today.
This move did make Yuan Shao extremely angry, but it was even more difficult for him to worship himself as another general because of this, so he could only just take the title of a chicken-ribbed general and perform his duties as the leader of the Kwantung Alliance.
Yuan Shao also rode his horse and stepped forward slowly, sneered, and said proudly: "Vulgar people, they only know the courage of their husbands, stealing temples, they don't know their shame, but they are proud, why bother killing you, just one warrior, it's enough!" Come on, is anyone willing to step forward and take Li Dao's head? ”
As soon as the words fell, a person on the other side came out and shouted: "Li Dao is the first thief to leave, and the general Wen Chou under the general of the chariot cavalry is here to take your life!" ”
"Well, you are a martial artist, and you dare to call a battle with the general of the chariot cavalry, and treat me with a mace and knock you to death!"
Without waiting for Li Dao to speak, someone behind him roared unto be outdone, completely fighting with Wen Chou's big voice, galloping out, holding a double-headed mace, even the body shape can compete with Wen Chou, and even more burly and rude.
Lu Bu secretly praised, he was only a few days ago, only to learn that Hu Che'er, a cronie under Niu Fu's account, followed Niu Fu to leave his soldiers and fled, and then beheaded Niu Fu to invite merit, and then the development of the gaffe was beyond his expectations, Li Dao and others entered Luoyang, Chang'an was also controlled by Zhang Ji, and Hu Che'er was naturally put into Zhang Ji's account.
This battle, just beginning, is already exciting.
Hu Che'er faced Wen Chou, just one of them, it was wonderful on the bright side; The open and secret battle between Li Dao and Yuan Shao, the two chariot generals, is wonderful hidden under the water.
The two only exchanged words, but they already relied on their own strengths and attacked the enemy's shortcomings.
First of all, Li Dao invited Yuan Shao, who was known for his martial arts, to fight, and in turn, Yuan Shao despised Li Dao fiercely with his noble status, and said that a warrior under his account, in fact, another meaning is that a martial artist under his account is enough to take Li Dao's life, why should he be such a noble-born celebrity to make a move.
Fortunately, although Hu Che'er was born in a different race and seemed to be rude and reckless, he actually had a careful mind, and jumped out to face Wen Chou without waiting for Li Dao to speak, which could be regarded as regaining another point for Li Dao.
Lu Bu was so distracted, among the two armies, Hu Che'er and Wen Chou had collided together, and they both shouted at the same time, and they competed hard.
