As all the princes sat down one after another, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, swept his eyes and took the lead in speaking: "Princes, in the battle of Yuting half a month ago, we waited for the enemy to plot and lose our troops. Now regroup, we should work together to take the hatred of Dong Thief and Dog's head with snow! ”

Gongsun Zhan, as the front part, was almost stoned to death that day, and the loss was also relatively large among the princes. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, he was already indignant: "Yes! The head of the Dong thief must be used to pay tribute to the souls of the fallen soldiers in the sky. When the soldiers directly enter the Tiger Prison Pass, they will fight with Dong Thief! ”

"No!" Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stood up and dissuaded: "Brother Bogui, the Tiger Prison Pass is a strong pass in the world, and it is extremely difficult to overcome. Moreover, there is Xu Rongtun's army to the east of Bishui in the south, so it is really not appropriate to rush forward. ”

Hearing the mention of Xu Rong, Yuan Shu, who had been holding back his anger for a while, couldn't sit still, and immediately said: "Xuande's words are reasonable, then Xu Rong is cunning and abnormal, if you don't get rid of it first, it will be difficult to fight with Dong Thief with peace of mind." ”

This was finally to the point, and the princes also nodded involuntarily and echoed. The two defeats were both losses at the expense of Xu Rong, which obviously made the princes pay attention to this general.

Yuan Shao frowned and thought about it, nodded as well, and agreed: "Xu Rong has blocked my army three or four times, and he has many tricks, so he really has to pull it out first." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well! It's just that at present, he is stationed in the south of Hugao Pass, east of Bishui, with the strategy of Dong Zhuo's army, and he himself is extremely cunning, I don't know if you have a clever plan to break the enemy? ”

"This ......" With Yuan Shao's words, the hall suddenly fell silent, obviously there was nothing to do about Xu Rong's difficult bone.

Wang Xu had been sitting quietly on the first place on the left, and seeing that everyone was helpless and no longer spoke, he said unhurriedly: "Actually, Xu Rong doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly turned over. Yuan Shao was even more pleasantly surprised: "Ziyang has a plan to break the enemy? ”

Facing everyone's burning eyes, Wang Xu was not in a hurry, and smiled calmly. Only then did he shake his head and said, "There is no plan to break the enemy for the time being." However, this Xu Rong is not so terrible, the reason why he lost to him in a row is just because he found a flaw in the improper coordination of soldiers and horses from all walks of life. Our army only needs to enter the Tiger Prison Pass, suppress the main force of Dong Thief, and then divide troops and horses to resist the enemy, and then find an opportunity to break him. ”

Hear the previous words. Everyone was a little disappointed, but as Wang Xu continued, they gradually aroused their interest. Thinking about it carefully, in fact, Wang Xu was right, Xu Rong's first victory was because everyone was arrogant and careless. Let's not talk about it for now. But the second victory was entirely due to the inability of the princes' coalition to work together and truly achieve unified scheduling, so it was exploited. Although Wang Xu said it tactfully, everyone also knew it. Really counted, if it is one-on-one, most of the princes present have the confidence to fight with it.

After contemplating for a long time, Yuan Shao also nodded involuntarily. couldn't help but turn his head and asked, "I don't know what the public thinks." When it is better to send a few men and horses to resist the enemy! ”

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in the hall immediately jumped to try. But how could Wang Xu let them take the lead. Taking advantage of the proximity, when even had already said urgently: "Alliance leader, there should not be many people here, at most four people, otherwise it will only repeat the mistakes of the past, and I can be counted as one person." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao, who had never spoken, rushed to say: ", I'm willing to go!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but answer: "Moreover, in my opinion, with Ziyang and me, and then there are people all the way, it will be enough." You can sit back and wait for us to report the victory. When the time comes, he will wave the army to fight again, exterminate Dong Zhuo, and achieve immortal achievements. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao in surprise. It was because he took a fancy to Xu Rong, a general, and had the idea of capturing and subduing him alive, so he rarely took the initiative to ask for help. I didn't expect Cao Cao to take the initiative to ask for battle, which is really rare. And the words were also good, and they held everyone high, and used immortal deeds as bait, so that the princes willingly stopped asking for war. But in fact, his thoughts should be the same as his own, not afraid of god-like enemies, afraid of pig-like "allies", worried about being dragged to death. Anyway, Xu Rong didn't have many soldiers and horses, and the princes of the three roads went over, as long as they commanded properly, it would not be a problem at all, and Cao Cao was a confident person.

But hearing this, Yuan Shao was a little hesitant, looked at Wang Xu and Cao Cao hesitantly, and said with some concern: "Xu Rong still has more than 40,000 soldiers, but Meng De has less than 10,000 troops after these days of attrition, and with Ziyang's elite cavalry, there are only more than 10,000 people. If you only add one road, is there less of it? ”

At this time, the princes who had originally wanted to ask for war glanced at each other, and they were also silent, obviously having some scruples about this issue, and did not dare to answer lightly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu smiled, didn't care, and confidently took over the words: "It's okay, the strength of the army is not decided, we will wait for the opportunity to move, it is not a big problem." ”

"Hahaha! Ziyang's words are very true. Cao Cao also laughed and agreed.

After speaking, he also turned his gaze to the princes in the hall, stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't know if the princes here, can there be anyone who is willing to go with you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes were suddenly dumbfounded, and they all lowered their heads one after another, not daring to talk.

After a long time, Liu Bei, who has always been relatively low-key, stood up with a smile. "Bei Yuan will take the sergeant with the two of them."

When it came to this, the people themselves were willing, and Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, couldn't say anything more, so he immediately smiled and nodded. "Alright! Since the three of them have made up their minds, let's do it. Tomorrow morning, we will send troops to the Tiger Prison, and hope that the three of us will prepare for the conquest of Xu Rong. ”

"No!" Everyone answered, and did not say more, and quickly dispersed back to the headquarters to prepare.

Wang Xu is actually very happy, Liu Bei is a better choice to join in, compared to other princes, he will not be mischievous, he is more resolute in breaking the enemy, and he has a good temper, his mood is invisible, and he will not clash with people head-on, which can minimize the estrangement between the three soldiers and horses. If Yuan Shu and others want to insert a leg, it will not be an ordinary headache.

That night, Wang Xu arranged various matters, and also sat down with Cao Cao and Liu Bei for a long exchange.

It is really an indescribable feeling to be able to talk with two traitors and heroes who have been famous for thousands of years. A little bit of the vicissitudes of history, but also a little bit of excitement, of course, the most is the emotion of the world......

Early in the morning of the second day, three o'clock! The princes of all walks of life sent troops with hatred. Again, the troops were divided into two routes: north and south. Kill the Tiger Prison.

However, this march was extremely slow, stop-and-go, and the vanguard soldiers and horses swept almost everywhere, and only after making sure that there was no ambush did the army dare to pass. It was only sixty or seventy miles in total, but the army arrived slowly almost at night. It's called turtle speed. Moreover, because he was worried that Dong thieves would send people to rob the camp, he asked Tao Qian and Han Fu to garrison them all night, and dared to do simple fortifications overnight.

However, Dong Zhuo's side really didn't move at all. Maybe it's because it's too late, and the princes are so prepared. Therefore, no one came to call for battle, and no one dared to come to rob the camp.

After a good night's rest, Wang Xu set off again the next morning. Together with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, they steadily pressed southward, and rushed to the front of Xu Rong's military camp before noon. Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun to lead his troops to call for battle, but there was no response. He took the opportunity to set up camp and went down to the village, and the two camps were only four miles apart. You can even see each other's doors from afar.

In fact. The reason why it is so close is what Cao Cao meant.

According to him. If Xu Rong lined up in advance and directly fought a decisive battle, then the coalition army of the princes dozens of miles away in the rear would inevitably divide troops to reinforce as soon as possible, and then it would only be difficult to defeat Xu Rong by holding off the Dong army in the Tiger Pass. And Xu Rong himself knew that Xiahoudun and Zhao Yun were both in the current army, so he definitely didn't dare to go out to meet the enemy.

This means that before he thinks of a strategy to break the enemy, he will inevitably retreat in the camp. And with the help of such a favorable opportunity, the camp tent is as close as possible, so that although Xu Rong has many soldiers, he can't put it away, after all, more than 40,000 people is not a small number, and if he is pressed on the field, the numerical advantage will be greatly reduced.

After the camp was set up, Cao Cao recalled Xiahoudun as soon as possible and did not make any moves. And he himself, together with Liu Bei, quickly came to Wang Xu's camp.

With a wave of his hand, he lifted the curtain of the tent, and asked loudly: "Ziyang! How is it arranged? ”

"Hmmm! It's all right, what about you? Hearing Cao Cao's voice, Wang Xu, who was making the bed, clapped his hands and turned around with a smile.

"It's already good, I just went to the camp to observe for a while, didn't this pull Xuande to come to you to discuss a strategy to break the enemy?" Cao Cao was not polite, smiled, and sat down in Wang Xu's tent.

Wang Xu didn't care, turned to look at Liu Bei, who was still standing aside, and said with a smile: "You're welcome Xuande, sit down!" ”

"Thank you!" As he spoke, Liu Bei smiled and arched his hand before pulling over a simple wooden stool and sitting down.

Seeing this, Wang Xu didn't want to be verbose, so he went straight to the point: "Meng De, I don't know what you think?" ”

When it came to business, Cao Cao's face was also stern, and his small eyes narrowed for a long time before he said slowly: "This Xu Rong is a general, I have carefully observed it just now, his camp account is quite orderly, and the terrain is relatively favorable, but it still has its shortcomings. ”

"Oh? I don't know what the shortcomings are? Liu Bei suddenly asked curiously.

"He has too many concerns, although he has changed, he is still too steady!" Cao Cao is definitely authentic.

"Where did Mende say that?" Hearing this, Wang Xu was also interested.

Cao Cao looked at the two of them, did not hesitate, and continued: "It's not a secret, as far as I observed before, Xu Rong's camp is almost leakless. Ziyang and Xuande are also people who have been in battle for a long time, and they should know that if they camp, according to different terrain and different conditions, it is impossible to have no flaws at all. And we generally adopt the method of garrisoning weak points with heavy troops and good generals. Right? ”

"Hmmm! Indeed it is. Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but nodded.

But this Xu Rong is different, he has adopted the method of making up for it, strengthening the fortifications in the weak places, and seems to want to achieve perfection. But as everyone knows, heaven and earth are still incomplete, how can they really be perfect? In this way, on the contrary, the coordination of the entire battalion was destroyed, it was difficult to harmonize between the various defense points, and the layout of the entire battalion became weaker. ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao calmly stroked his beard and said with a slight smile: "Although our troops are insufficient, even if we know their weaknesses, we don't dare to attack forcibly. But you can know his character from this, since he is so desperate for perfection, his character is bound to be extremely cautious and think too much, why not take advantage of his mentality to break the enemy......"
