Chapter 68: What about the Great Cause
Yuan Shao sighed and said: "I don't know this truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't let these princes attack from different directions, saying that they were cooperating with Sun Jian and Ma Teng, but in fact, why not let them go and consume with the Xiliang soldiers?
But I have already reported that Dong Zhuo personally led an army of 200,000 to the Tiger Pass, if Sun Jian is gone, who will fight this vanguard again?
If you can't destroy Dong Zhuo, how can you talk about a great cause? ”
"Big brother, don't worry, Sun Jian is so strong, he won't be defeated so easily!" Yuan Shu looked determined.
At this moment, suddenly, a sergeant rushed in.
"Alliance Master, the little one intercepted a letter sent by Sun Jian to Dong Zhuo!"
Sun Jian?
Sent to Dong Zhuo?
The two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, were shocked.
Hurriedly took the letter, opened it and looked at it twice, Yuan Shao's expression changed greatly.
"Second brother, look at the good things you have done!"
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Sun Jian is deep in the army alone and lacks food, so he is going to form an alliance with Dong Zhuo!" ”
Yuan Shu was also shocked, read the letter, and shouted: "This, Sun Jian actually asked Dong Zhuo for 30,000 loads of grain and grass as a dowry for marriage?" This...... This Sun Wentai, how can he be so confused, isn't this treachery?? ”
"I can't care so much, hurry up, gather all the princes, we have to speed up the march, don't let Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo form an alliance successfully!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand.
In the Jiangdong Army camp less than ten miles from the Tiger Prison, Sun Jianzhi looked at the 30,000 loads of grain and grass sent by Dong Zhuo proudly, and his heart was extremely excited.
This plan really succeeded!
"Now that the rest of the soldiers has been completed, and the food and grass are sufficient, if you don't march yet, when will you wait?"
Sun Jian became agitated, and waved his hand: "Come on, rectify the military horses, and march into the Tiger Prison Pass!" ”
Soon, Sun Jian came to the Tiger Prison with 20,000 elites and began to call people out.
Mei Changsheng had not yet returned to Liu Beijun, so he walked with Sun Jian.
Tiger Prison Pass is the core fortress of Luoyang and can be regarded as Dong Zhuo's lifeblood.
Here, the general in charge of the handle is Xu Rong.
Who is Xu Rong?
A native of Xiangping, Liaodong, he was an excellent general in the early years of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In history, he was a bull who defeated Sun Jian and Cao Cao.
At this moment, looking at Sun Jian, who was strong and strong under the Tiger Prison, laughed on the walled tower.
"Sun Jian, are you here to surrender to the imperial court?"
Sun Jian sneered and shouted: "Dong Zhuo has no way, causing chaos in the dynasty, and making the people's lives miserable. Today, I, Sun Jian, want to do the way for the sky, break through the tiger prison, enter Luoyang, and be on the side of the Qing monarch!
Xu Rong, if you still have the heart of a courtier, you should open the city pass and crusade against the traitors with me! ”
Xu Rong smiled, smiling proudly.
He pointed to the rear of Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army and laughed: "Sun Jian, you don't have to provoke me, you look at the back, but the allies are coming to crusade against you?"
To tell you the truth, I have already sent your letter to Dong Xiangguo to Yuan Shao, and now, they are only afraid that they will attack you en masse! ”
Sun Jian's head was shocked, and he felt as if he had overlooked something, or had done something wrong.
By the way, there is indeed such a letter, which he wrote to Dong Zhuo, in order to deceive Dong Zhuo's trust and 30,000 galls.
If this letter really reaches Yuan Shaona, the consequences will be unimaginable!
It seems that to find time, you have to make it clear to Yuan Shao and them!
At this time, a sergeant came to report: "My lord, Lord Yuan has arrived three miles behind our army with the army of the princes of Century Road, please come over and speak." ”
Sun Jian frowned.
Mei Changsheng stretched out his feather fan and chuckled: "Brother Wentai, you can't go!" Yuan Shao is narrow-minded, Cao Cao is extremely black, these people are afraid that they will cure you of a crime of betraying the allies. I'm afraid that there will be no return! ”
Sun Ce next to him also said worriedly: "Father, the child thinks that Mr. Mei is right, this must not go!" ”
Huang Gai frowned, and said contemplatively: "Lord, I think that there is only one strategy to solve this misunderstanding and crisis!" ”
"What ploy? You said! Sun Jian asked.
Huang Gai Zhengse said: "Why don't you attack the Tiger Prison Pass immediately, so that you can not only show your heart to the Yuan Alliance Master, but also take advantage of the Allied forces behind you to suppress the formation and capture the Tiger Prison Pass?" ”
"Good plan!" Everyone nodded.
Only Mei Changsheng had a strange smile on his face.
"Good!" Sun Jian said to the sergeant who came to deliver the message: "You go and tell Yuan Mengzhu that my Jiangdong Army has been fighting with the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass and cannot be withdrawn. After conquering the Tiger Prison Pass, I will talk to Yuan Meng's master again! ”
After speaking, he shouted: "Jiangdong Army, give me a storm!" ”
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Suddenly, the Jiangdong army descended the mountain like a fierce tiger, and quickly used various siege equipment to move towards the tiger prison.
When Xu Rong saw it, not only was he not angry, but he was overjoyed.
He shouted in the direction of the narrow gate: "Hahaha, the Jiangdong Army is going to take refuge in the imperial court, why don't you open the gate quickly and let General Sun in?" ”
Sun Jian frowned when he heard this, what does this mean? ?
The others were also very puzzled, did the enemy want to set the tiger into the camp?
The Jiangdong soldiers who were already attacking the Tiger Prison Pass had been working hard to tackle the key problems, but they suddenly closed the door and opened widely, and they were stunned.
Go in, afraid that there will be an ambush inside.
If you don't advance, you can only continue to attack. But the gates are all opened, and they are attacking, isn't the main thing to open the door of the Tiger Prison?
Sun Jian couldn't care so much, and waved his hand: "No matter, go directly to the customs, be careful not to fall into Xu Rong's ambush!"
In addition, the offensive continues! ”
With a two-pronged approach, he is not afraid of Xu Rong, who guards the Tiger Prison, to deceive.
The Jiangdong Army listened to Sun Jian's order and quickly entered the customs and tackled key problems at the same time.
Behind Jiangdongjun, Yuan Shao had already led people to the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and at this moment, when he saw that the door of the Tiger Prison Pass was open to Sun Jian, his face was ugly.
Cao Cao shouted: "You see, this Sun Jian voted for Dong Zhuo, and even Xu Rong, who was in the Tiger Prison, has to open and close to welcome Sun Jian into the customs!" If we don't stop it, I'm afraid that Sun Jian will really join the enemy! ”
In Cao Cao's opinion, this is simply the best time to get rid of Sun Jian, the future enemy.
"Yuan Alliance Master, let's give the order to march!" Zhang Miao also said with great concern.
Some of the other princes expressed doubts about Sun Jian's defection to the enemy.
But there are also many people who know it.
Especially the Yuan brothers, as well as Cao Cao.
Isn't it their consistent strategy to weaken the princes in the midst of the discussion?
Yuan Shao nodded, expressed his deep agreement, and said bitterly: "Sun Jian is unjust, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to make a decision immediately!" The armies obeyed the order and attacked the Jiangdong Army to prevent Sun Jian from surrendering to the enemy! ”
"Yes, Yuan Alliance Master!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen princes rushed towards the Jiangdong Army.
"My lord, it's not good! The lord of the Yuan League, with the army of the princes, is rushing to the rear of our army, and the army that is rushing to the front is already fighting with our army! ”
