Just after midnight, the sky was still dark, and even the dawn of the east was nowhere to be seen at this time.

Sun Jian had just gotten up, and when he came out of the tent, he was stirred by the cold wind, and he immediately shivered, and felt that his breath was fresh, which was much more comfortable than in the tent.

Getting up at the end of the day is a habit that Sun Jian has developed for many years, and now at this point, he can no longer sleep, and if he doesn't get up again, he will feel panicked.

Overhead, the stars were brilliant, Sun Jian silently raised his head, looked up at the sky, trying to find out some clues about the general trend of the world, but unfortunately after so many years, he spent countless hours and countless energy on it, but he still gained nothing.

Just like his ambition, he was so high-spirited when he was too punctual in Changsha, but now, the imperial court is declining, and many people have soared into the sky, but he has always been lucky, defeated in Xincheng and Liang County, and even folded the general Huang Gai and Zu Mao, who served as Yuzhou Mu, but because of Yuan Shu, Nanyang was lost, so that Yuzhou Mu was taken away by him.

This time he was ordered to go west, he knew that this was just Yuan Shu's perfunctory treatment of him, because with only 20,000 horses under his account and 10,000 soldiers and horses under the account of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, even if the old general and old boss Zhu Jun sent troops to help, he believed that the westward expedition would stop at the Tiger Pass.

It is reported that Li Dao has reactivated the general Hua Xiong, so that he can guard the Tiger Pass, with him, Sun Jian will not be sure of the capture of the Tiger Pass.

Unless, Huaxiong can be provoked to go out of the pass to face the battle, kill him in battle, and make the Xiliang army collapse without a fight, then it is possible to break through the tiger prison.

Sun Jian didn't know that at this time, Hua Xiong was in Wushejin, together with Wang Fang, looking at the Tiger Prison Pass.

While I was thinking nonsense. Suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, Sun Jian frowned slightly, looked at the avenue in front of the tent, and saw a person rushing over, as if he was not surprised that Sun Jian was standing alone outside the tent, and went straight to the ground on one knee in front of him, and said: "Report, there is a sudden fire in the Tiger Prison Pass, the reason is unknown!" ”

"What?!"

Sun Jian didn't hear it clearly, but he actually heard it clearly. But he felt that it was too incredible, so he asked a question, and when he received a positive answer, Sun Jian could no longer keep his composure, and ordered: "Prepare the horse." Look at it. ”

Wait for Sun Jian to climb the low hill next to the camp and look in the direction of the Tiger Pass. There. Half of the sky was already red by the firelight.

"The Tiger Prison is closed, the Tiger Prison is on fire, is it God helping me?"

Sun Jian muttered, shook his whole body, and ordered in a loud voice: "Pass my military order, and the army will get up immediately." Dinner, half an hour later, camp! ”

As soon as the herald rushed away, the voice of the veteran Zhu Jun sounded behind him: "Wentai, why is it so urgent?" ”

Sun Jian to Zhu Jun, the old boss. Maintaining enough respect, he immediately turned around to greet him, and then followed Zhu Jun up to the top of the hill, pointed in the direction of the Tiger Pass, and said, "Old general, please look." ”

"Tiger Prison!" Zhu Jun was also surprised, stunned for a while, and then muttered, "The old man thought it was a false report before, but it turned out to be true. ”

"I don't know what happened in Tiger Prison."

Zhu Jun Huoran turned around and said to Sun Jian: "Wentai reacted quickly, the old man was very relieved, at this time, there is no need to think about what happened in the Tiger Prison Pass, take advantage of the situation to take the Tiger Prison Pass and force Luoyang to force Luoyang, which is the important thing!" ”

Sun Jian honestly bowed his head and replied loudly: "Yes, Jian is taught!" ”

Just as the two of them answered, the camp at the foot of the hill was already suddenly boiling, the horn sounded, the soldiers shuttled back and forth, the sound of orders continued, the gate of the camp creaked open, and a dozen or so horsemen galloped out and rushed straight to the tiger prison.

Half an hour later, as soon as the sky was dark, Sun Jian personally led the vanguard battalion and set off first, and as for the army, it was handed over to the veteran Zhu Jun to control it.

Xingyang to the Tiger Prison Pass, it was only half a day's journey, when Sun Jian led the army to the Tiger Prison Pass, only to find that although the fire has been greatly weakened, but it is still very strong, let alone enter the pass, even close to the wall, it is impossible.

Just at the first glance, Sun Jian knew that the tiger prison was over, and unless it was rebuilt in the future, it would not be able to stop any attack of soldiers and horses at all, and the second thought was that it was such a big fire, it must not be an unintentional fire, but someone deliberately set it on fire, so it was so long-lasting, the fire was so big, it affected the entire tiger prison, and there was no sign of anyone fighting the fire.

This made Sun Jian very puzzled, and his curiosity made him eager to know what happened in the Tiger Prison Pass, Hua Xiong, and where he is now.

The army has been waiting outside the pass for two hours, Sun Jian sent a few teams of people, cautiously and carefully into the customs to investigate, after a short time, that is, someone reported that there were traces of fireworks everywhere on the head, face, and body, showing that there were still fires everywhere in the pass, but it had gradually weakened.

"Report, there is no one in the Tiger Prison Pass, and all the grain and grass are empty."

"Huh?!"

Sun Jian was surprised and confirmed what he thought in his heart that the fire in the gate was deliberately set on fire, but he didn't know whether it was Hua Xiong or Li Wei's confidant Hu Feng who set the fire.

Just lost his mind for a moment, Sun Jian's face sank, and he asked, "Can the army enter the customs?" ”

"But, you just have to be careful to clear the obstacles along the way......"

Before he finished speaking, Sun Jian had already waved his Gudian broadsword forward, and commanded heroically: "Enter the customs!" ”

With an order, Han immediately led the army into the pass, Sun Jian stood on his horse, looking at the majestic and magnificent Tiger Prison Pass in the past, and now he seemed to be dying and moaning in the fire, and the pride and ambition in his chest swelled irrepressibly.

Luoyang, my Sun Wentai is here!

Sun Jian roared in his heart, he was convinced that such a change occurred at this time, and it was God who helped him to attack Luoyang first and achieve the great cause in his chest.

Just when Sun Jian was stationed in front of the sloppy prison, Hua Xiong, who he had been thinking about, was in front of the two armies at this time, leisurely riding out, swinging the big knife in his hand, pointing at Li Heng on the opposite side, and Li Ying, and scolded: "Just rely on your two little miscellaneous fish, and you also want to come to Hua Mou to please him, don't you hurry back to Luoyang, what's the matter, but do you want Hua Mou to fulfill you and send you on the road in advance?" ”

Li Ying was silent, he tried his best to lead the army back to Luoyang, but he couldn't resist his brother Li Heng, so he had to follow him to the army and come to Wushejin.

Li Heng was furious, pointed the spear in his hand at Hua Xiong, and scolded: "Okay, you Hua Xiong, eat a dog inside and out, don't close the door in the tiger prison, where do you want to escape?" ”

Hua Xiong didn't laugh angrily, pointed to the Tiger Prison Pass with his left hand, and said: "Are you two blind, the Tiger Prison Pass has been burned by Lao Tzu, if nothing else, at this time, Sun Jian should have led the army into the pass, you, don't hurry up, go back to Luoyang, and after a while, the back road will be copied by Sun Jian." ”

Not only Li Ying, but also Li Heng, never imagined that Hua Xiong would be so ruthless, not only killing Hu Feng, leading the army to the north, but also burning the Tiger Prison Pass, in this way, it is equivalent to opening the east gate of Luoyang, so that the heroes of the Kanto region can drive straight into Luoyang and force Luoyang.

Li Heng originally still had the idea of coming to Wushejin to see the situation first, and then going to the Tiger Prison Pass to help.

In fact, from Hua Xiong's series of behaviors, as long as he thinks about it a little, he knows that he will definitely not hand over the tiger prison to Li Dao and his gang, but Li Heng and Li Ying have limited talents, and with the power of their brother Li Dao, they are used to being rampant, and all they hear are some flattery, even if Li Ying is a little self-aware and knows that his martial arts are insufficient, but he still forgets how many catties and taels they have.

Hua Xiong said this very loudly, not only Li Ying and Li Heng could hear it clearly, but even the soldiers behind them also heard it clearly.

He did it on purpose, the two armies faced each other, Hua Xiong only had 1,000 people, Li Heng and Li Ying had 3,000 people, and they fought together, although Hua Xiong thought that there was no problem in defeating Li Heng and Li Ying, but the damage was uncontrollable, so in this way, just a few words could make Li Heng and Li Ying suspicious, and they had no fighting spirit, so why not.

Sure enough, Li Ying and Li Heng looked at each other, but they didn't notice that there was a sudden exchange of heads behind them.

Li Heng still didn't give up, and he couldn't pull away this face, the spear pointed at Hua Xiong, and scolded: "Hua Xiong, you wolf-hearted thing, let you go today, go!" ”

Hua Xiong secretly sneered in his heart, knowing that Li Heng didn't have the ability to lead the army alone at all, at this time, he still dared to lead the army to turn around like this, instead of letting the front and rear armies alternate to cover each other, and after leaving the battlefield, and then turning around and withdrawing the army, isn't this death.

When Li Heng turned around and the three thousand soldiers and horses behind him also turned around, Hua Xiong suddenly shouted: "Kill!" ", wave the army to cover the past.

This battle was fought without suspense, Hua Xiong had been in battle for a long time, and against the arrogant Li Heng, and Li Ying, who was not firm enough, he was purely bullying the two of them, and before they engaged, the three thousand soldiers and horses of the two had dispersed in a hurry under the pressure of Hua Xiong's army to cover up.

At sunset, Luoyang City, as in the past, began to be shrouded in twilight, and such a quiet scene could not be disturbed even if several horsemen rushed from the east.

Several horsemen went straight to the hussar general's mansion, and in just a moment, they were brought in, but they were not met by the hussar general Li Dao, but his staff Li Ru.

Since the fire in Yong'an Palace a few months ago, Li Ru was not treated well by Li Dao for a while, but later Li Dao himself found that it was really inconvenient to have no proper person by his side to give advice, so he had to rely on Li Ru again.

But after this incident, Li Ru's heart is already quite suspicious of Li Dao, but he is quite deep in the city, and his face is not revealed at all.

As for Li Dao killing Fan Chou and Hu Zhen, and putting Hua Xiong, Duan Xuan, Yang Ding and Wang Fang under house arrest, Li Ru actually disagreed, but Li Dao didn't discuss with him at all beforehand, obviously because he was afraid that Li Ru would take care of his colleagues and reveal it to Fan Chou and others.

After listening to the report, Li Ru had mixed feelings in his heart, of course, there were some shocks, but he had already expected Hua Xiong's actions, so he was not particularly shocked, more than that, in fact, he was helpless, sad, and sad for the end of the Xiliang Army.

After losing his mind for a moment, Li Ruchang took a long breath and ordered: "This matter is very important, I will go to report to the hussar general, you go down to rest first, remember, you must not talk about it to anyone, otherwise, if the news leaks, you will lose your head."
