Chapter 178: Triumphant Ding Yuan
Ding Yuan just looked at Hou Cheng like that, until Hou Cheng's back neck was sweating.
"Hou Cheng, do you know why I called you here?"
Hou Cheng's knees were weak, and he almost knelt down, if it weren't for the fact that he had already heard something, maybe he would have knelt down and confessed his guilt by now, but Rao was like this, he still looked panicked and said.
"The end and the end will not know, please make it clear to the lord."
Ding Yuan looked at him with interest, and then said slowly.
"General Hou Cheng, how will Ben treat you?"
Hou Cheng's heart was cold, could it be that Ding Yuan really wanted to settle the account, and it was over.
"The lord treats me like a mountain, and the last general will follow me to the death, and I will never regret it!"
Thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear, Hou Cheng has mixed up with his current status and knows this well.
Ding Yuan just smiled, at this time he was still silent in Lu Bu's achievements, and these words were very useful.
"General Hou Cheng, there is a very important thing that you need to do, I wonder if you are willing to take the order?"
When Hou Cheng heard this, he quickly understood, it seemed that this time was not a bad thing, and said with a resolute face.
"But according to the command of the lord, the end will never give up."
"Okay, if it's really a strong general in the heart of this general, this time the matter is very important, there can't be a mistake, are you willing to issue a military order?"
Hou Chengzhi said that this is not the time to hesitate.
"The last general dare!"
"Ha Lu haha, okay, that will not be verbose, you all already know the Tao of Lu, Fengxian has won the Tiger Prison Pass, presumably you all know the importance of the Tiger Prison Pass, we are not the top strength among the princes, but this time the heaven-sent opportunity, we can not give up, the Tiger Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang, and the state is in the north of Luoyang, there are still Yellow Turban remnants in the south, Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng in the west are disturbed, as long as we master the Tiger Prison, then Luoyang is our bag, do you know Lu Dao?"
Hou Cheng's face was pale, as a person with the strength of the state, only the stronger the state, the higher their status would be, what Ding Yuan said was really important.
"Lord, do you want to take Luoyang?"
"That's right, since God has given this opportunity, we must take it."
Ding Yuan was very serious and stared at Hou Cheng.
"The end will know."
"Okay, but now Feng Xian's soldiers and horses are not enough to hold the Tiger Prison Pass, so the general is going to send a general to lead the elite soldiers into the Tiger Prison overnight to help Feng Xian stabilize the Tiger Prison, even if the princes have objections, it will be much easier to do at that time, so this mission is very important."
Hou Cheng's eyes flashed.
"What do you mean, lord?"
"That's right, I'm going to send you, what?"
Hou Cheng was shocked in his heart, this is not only a credit, but it is not a challenge.
"But the lord, there are still so many generals in the state army, and the last general 616161616161"
Hou Cheng still has a burden in his heart, although he is not full of talents in the state army, but it is not without him that he has a higher status and deep qualifications, such an important task is entrusted to him, and other generals know it, and they will not have relatives, and he will not be able to mix it up at that time.
Ding Yuan knew Hou Cheng's worries, and Da Lang laughed.
"General Hou Cheng, is it possible that there are still people in the army who dare to disobey this general's order? The general doesn't have to worry about anything else, as long as you have the confidence to be the chief general in this army, no one will dare to make you uncomfortable. ”
Hou Cheng exhaled, when it came to this, if he still twisted and pinched, then Ding Yuan would definitely not reuse him.
"Lord, the last general is done!"
"Okay, what you want is the courage of the general, in fact, this general knows Lu Dao, you have always been good friends with Feng Xian, and this time it is Feng Xian who won the Tiger Prison Pass, if you send someone else, maybe Feng Xian will be unhappy in his heart, do you know the intentions of General Lu Daoben?"
Hou Cheng's heart was cold, he finally knew that what such a good thing would fall on his head.
"The last general knows the way."
Immediately, Ding Yuan picked up the token in his hand and shouted.
"Okay, Hou Cheng listens to the order!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead 5,000 elite foot soldiers to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass overnight to help Feng Xian defend the Tiger Prison!"
"The last will be ordered!"
Ding Yuan nodded and watched Hou Cheng leave, his eyes flashing with a burning light.
Not long after Hou Cheng left, he led the soldiers and horses to disappear into the Bingzhou military camp, no one knew what happened in Lu Dao, but it was definitely inseparable from tonight's secret protection.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
When the princes of the coalition army were still immersed in their dreams, the state army had already attacked.
The dawn of winter is always late, but today, the sky is only a little white, and the coalition army Dazhai is bustling and begins to bury the pot for cooking, and the alliance leader Liu Yan has ordered that today is the day to attack the tiger prison, and to take the tiger prison in one fell swoop and attack Luoyang.
The Great Tent of the Allied Army.
Liu Yanzheng declared his determination with high ambitions, and boasted to the princes.
"Princess, as long as we take the tiger prison, Luoyang will not escape the palm, the leader of this alliance hopes that at this time, you can put down the gap between each other, discuss the great cause, hit Luoyang in one fell swoop, and destroy the puppet Chaotianguo!"
The princes did not think so, but they were very cooperative on their faces.
"The alliance leader doesn't need to worry, we all know the stakes."
"That's it, the alliance leader is too worried."
Liu Yan is very happy to be able to successfully win the Tiger Prison Pass, and then the revitalization of the Liu family will be in sight.
At this time, Liu Bei behind Liu Yan whispered to Liu Yan for a while, Liu Yan's face changed, and he took a closer look at the big tent, only to find that Ding Yuan did not come, thinking of Ding Yuan's performance yesterday, and Liu Bei's words, Liu Yan was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking.
"I don't know if you know why Jianyang didn't come?"
In fact, almost all the people didn't pay attention, because usually Ding Yuan didn't get very close to them, Ding Yuan felt very withdrawn, and he didn't form gangs, but Ding Yuan was still a prince after all, and there were fierce generals like Lu Bu under him.
The big tent suddenly opened with a commotion, and they asked each other what was going on.
"Hey, really, why didn't Jianyang Gong come?"
"That's right, yesterday Jianyang Gong was restless, could it be that something happened?"
"It's really, otherwise it wouldn't have been drunk!"
Liu Yan's face sank suddenly, the drums were beating, and all the princes had arrived, but only one Ding Yuan did not come, and Liu Yan felt that his face was very unbearable.
At this time, a person walked in outside the big tent, wearing armor and carrying an iron sword at his waist, majestic, it was Bingzhou Mu Ding Yuan.
The unknown crowd looked at Ding Yuan in such a costume, and turned their eyes to Liu Yan in unison, wanting to see what this alliance leader wanted to do, but they saw Liu Yan with a black face, but Liu Bei behind him was smiling, as if Liu Yan's embarrassment had nothing to do with him.
For a while, no one in the big tent spoke, Ding Yuan knew that his behavior angered Liu Yan, after all, as the leader of the alliance, he summoned everyone to discuss the matter, and everyone should come on time, and now Liu Yan must be angry in his heart.
No, he didn't care, and broke the ice with a smile.
"Alliance leader, the princes forgive their sins, Ding Yuan was late, but the general brought good news to the princes."
Ding Yuan swaggered back to where he was supposed to be and continued.
"I wonder if you're interested in hearing about it?"
Seeing that Ding Yuan didn't care, everyone was puzzled.
Perhaps the only person in the coalition who really thinks about the people is Tao Qian, for the sake of the great cause of the coalition, Tao Qian is a good man who takes over the conversation.
"I don't know if Jianyang Gong has any good news, he wants to talk to us, Tao Qian is willing to hear about it."
Many people nodded, if he can be a hegemon, Ding Yuan will never be untargeted, let alone grudge with everyone and Liu Yan, so Tao Qian's words are what everyone wants to know, even the rough Dong Zhuo has his ears sideways.
Ding Yuan said with a smile.
"Princes, before I say that, I want to ask the princes, how many soldiers and horses will the coalition army need to break through the tiger prison, and how long will it take?"
The princes didn't know what Lu Dao Ding Yuan meant, but this time it was the vanguard general Gongsun Zan who stood up and said.
"The Tiger Prison Pass is the strongest pass in the world, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Yellow Turban, if you don't gather the army, it will be impossible to break through."
The rest of the people all nodded in agreement, and the name of the Tiger Prison Pass, they all knew the way.
But he didn't want to, after Ding Yuan heard this, he laughed, which aroused the resentment in the hearts of the princes, especially Gongsun Zhan, who was even more depressed and angry at Ding Yuan, he felt that this was a mockery of himself, and couldn't help but say coldly.
"What? What does Jianyang Gong mean to laugh? ”
Ding Yuan stopped smiling and stared at Gongsun Chan tightly.
"General Gongsun said this, and I would not dare to agree."
The rest of the people were very puzzled, and they didn't know the meaning of Ding Yuan's words, Gongsun Zhan's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"Please don't hesitate to give me advice!"
"Okay, my lords, what I want to tell you is that the Tiger Prison has been broken! At this time, it is in the hands of me and the state army! ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Ding Yuan's words made all the princes change color.
If what Ding Yuan said is true, then it is worth thinking deeply, Gongsun Zhan's face changed wildly, and he already felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, and even Liu Bei behind Liu Yan lost his mind for a moment.
Tao Qian's face was ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to say.
"Jianyang Gong, can it be true?"
Ding Yuan was arrogant and said loudly.
"It's true!"
