Chapter 646 Gathering in the Tiger Prison Pass
The terrain of Luoyang is actually not suitable for defense, but if the city circle is expanded, it can form a relatively strong defense circle with the danger of the surrounding rivers and mountains.
Militarily speaking, it is not just to find a way, and then march to Luoyang City to take Luoyang in one fell swoop, the biggest problem of the army to start a war is actually the problem of grain and grass and consumption, therefore, the mountains and rivers around Luoyang have become effective defensive support points, even if there is no danger of mountains and rivers, the towns around Luoyang will be called defensive support points, these support points are not taken down, blindly attacking Luoyang, it is likely to be easily copied by the enemy.
Therefore, don't look at the Tiger Prison Pass is still far from Luoyang, and don't think that there is no road to Luoyang west except for the Tiger Prison Pass, there must be a road, even if there is no one to open, the problem is that the Tiger Prison Pass will not be taken down, Dong Zhuo's mobile troops can dig out the nest of the coalition army at any time, and when the time comes, Mo said that if Luoyang is attacked, the million coalition army may collapse directly.
Therefore, from a military point of view, the fortresses and fortresses around Luoyang do not play a defensive role, but a tactical diversion role, so the purpose of these fortresses in the dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack is to become a nail, a nail that you will kill if you don't pull it up.
In addition, these passes also have important psychological warfare factors, take the Tiger Prison Pass, in fact, there are Yanshi and other acropolis protection on the periphery of Luoyang, and it is impossible to take Luoyang directly, but after the Tiger Prison Pass is taken, there is no more dangerous place to rely on in the east of Luoyang, which will undoubtedly form a strong psychological pressure on the defenders in Luoyang City.
Therefore, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's choice to assemble the alliance in front of the Tiger Prison Pass actually has a double meaning.
Cao Cao's rumors Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were naturally disgusted from the bottom of their hearts, but since this had happened. In order to be able to control things as much as possible in their own hands, it is natural to need to carry out the necessary restrictions and containment on the enthusiastic outsiders who participated in the battle of the Central Plains. Therefore, Yuan Shao took the initiative to assemble the alliance in front of the Tiger Prison Pass and elect a unified command organ, and everyone in the province fought separately, but it was possible that Dong Zhuo would be defeated, and it would really become a joke at that time.
For Yuan Shao's proposal, everyone has nothing to do, no matter what, think about the matter of sharing pork in your heart. It's okay to do it quietly under your hands, but if you do it too much, it's hard to guarantee that you won't encounter a strong backlash from the Central Plains clan who regard the Central Plains as their own forbidden body, therefore. The necessary communication and consultation are still needed. At the same time, you can also explore the ideas and bottom lines of all parties, and by the way, find two or three allies by yourself, why not!
January 12 of the second year of Guangxi. Yuan Shu reached the Tiger Prison Pass, set up a large camp twenty miles below the pass, and then Yuan Shao's troops arrived, as for whether the two brothers staged a full martial arts line, no one knows, but on the surface it seems that the relationship is still good, at least in front of outsiders. The two still talked and laughed, and seemed to be very affectionate.
Forthwith. The princes of all walks of life also arrived one after another.
The first one to arrive, that is, in the history of the real fake edict of the Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, led 50,000 troops, Qiao Mao is not an ordinary person, but the nephew of Taiwei Qiao Xuan, originally was the Yanzhou Assassin History, and was later taken by Emperor Ling to find an opportunity to move to the East County Taishou, therefore, he himself is one of the backbones of the Central Plains clan.
The second to arrive was Liu Dai, leading 30,000 troops, this Liu Dai is a descendant of the royal family, Liu Xiang's brother, but Liu Dai's relationship with the Yuan family is quite good, of course, the so-called good is just an outsider's opinion, and the real situation is unknown, but it is said that Liu Dai came here at the invitation of Yuan Shao, of course, this is also a rumor.
The third to arrive is Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, with 50,000 horsemen, Tao Qian is more inclined to the neutral faction, as for this time so actively to participate in the discussion of Dong Daye, it seems a little unreasonable, what kind of thoughts and goals he has, I'm afraid only he knows.
The fourth one brought Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, led 30,000 troops, Kong Ling is one of the backbones of the Central Plains clan, in fact, Kong Ling's troops are the clan troops stationed in Yingchuan, and this time they are also here to cheer for the Yuan brothers.
The fifth is Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang is also from the Central Plains family, and Cai Yong has a good relationship, and later served as He Jin's Peng official, He Jin was arranged by Yuan Kui to Hanoi to serve as Taishou after He Jin's death, and now he is guarding Hanoi Wude City, and this time he went south to cheer Yuan Shao.
The sixth is Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, this Zhang Miao is a second ancestor in the words of modern people, and his family is rich, so he really got acquainted with many characters in the capital when he was young, including Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, in terms of personality, Zhang Miao is the same as these people, they are unruly bastards, so things gather by like, but from the current situation, Zhang Miao seems to have a closer relationship with Yuan Shu.
The seventh is Shanyang Taishou Yuan's legacy, this needless to say, Yuan Kui's son, the eldest brother of the Yuan family's generation, but unfortunately this person's ability is very limited, so he was not given a heavy responsibility by Yuan Kui, from this point of view, Yuan Kui is still a very qualified parent, and the culprit of the Yuan family's brothers' wall is Yuan Shu's father Yuan Feng.
The eighth is Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, this person is also after the Yanzhou family, the ancestor was the captain of Sili, but the person who promoted him was He Jin, but after He Jin fell, Bao Xin immediately returned to Jibei out of Beijing, and quickly threw himself at Yuan Kui, of course, it is also possible that Bao Xin was a nail from the beginning.
The ninth place is Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, this guy is Zhang Miao's younger brother, and he has to ask Zhang Miao what he is doing.
The tenth is Zhang Yang, the captain of the party, Zhang Yang came on the orders of Ding Yuan, in fact, he came to show his face, and Ding Yuan's real killing move was preparing in Jincheng.
The eleventh is the famous Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao, he led 50,000 foot cavalry to participate in the alliance, although he is a figure who runs and shouts, but when he arrives at the Tiger Prison, Cao Cao knows that his soldiers are few and far behind, and only then does he know that his strength is still very cold, but this must not defeat Cao Cao, it will only stimulate Cao Cao's self-motivation even more, especially in the face of a few wolf friends who acted together in the capital in the past, Cao Cao's heart is even more unbalanced.
The twelfth is a very embarrassing figure for Yuan Shao, that is, Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, of course, Han Fu did not come in person, but sent Min Chun and Zhang Jaw to the Tiger Prison Pass to participate in this alliance, not so much that they came to the alliance, but to sweep Yuan Shao's face, by the way, to see the excitement, of course, if there is a chance, it is very likely to make trouble for Yuan Shao at any time.
The thirteenth is Liu Bei's three brothers, this time Liu Bei's main force is exhausted, there are 60,000 cavalry infantry, and they are all elite soldiers, but only 20,000 cavalry came to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the other troops are stationed in Yinliang County, Henan Province, which has just been taken.
The fourteenth is the famous Pingbei general Fang Zhiwen, but this time Fang Zhiwen led not many troops, exactly 10,000 cavalry, but none of the people who came to the alliance dared to underestimate this 10,000 elites.
The fifteenth is Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, who led 30,000 foot cavalry to participate in the alliance, in fact, Sun Jian's main force has taken Mi County, Henan County, and he came to participate in the alliance to save face for the Yuan family.
The sixteenth is the right middle general, Xixiang Marquis Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun is now guarding Runan and confronting the Yellow Turban Army, and this time he is naturally here to cheer for the Yuan family.
Counting Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops all the way, Yuan Shu's 200,000 troops all the way, and the entire eighteenth road princes, it is in line with the magic number in the romance, even Fang Zhiwen can't sigh that his brain is very powerful, and he actually perfectly restores the scene of the eighteenth road princes meeting the alliance and the tiger prison.
All of a sudden, the Tiger Prison was covered with flags and suns, company camps for hundreds of miles, nearly a million officers and soldiers, and countless Inhuman troops, and this largest battle since the start of the game is about to begin.
It's a pity that the scene of Lu Bu fighting Sanying in the romance will not appear, but this is in line with historical facts, in fact, it was Hua Xiong who blocked the Kwantung princes under the Tiger Prison Pass and fought Sanying, and his opponents were Sun Jian's subordinates Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai.
Fang Zhiwen was a little curious, it was indeed Hua Xiong who was guarding the Tiger Prison Pass now, but in the face of the millions of male soldiers outside the gate, Hua Xiong would really be stupid enough to go out of the customs and go head-to-head?
In addition, the frontal battlefield of the Tiger Pass is very small, and there is simply no room for so many troops to perform, and the alliance is actually a form of alliance to a greater extent, and there is no military purpose of gathering troops to storm the Tiger Pass, judging from the current military deployment of various departments, everyone has occupied a favorable position to attack, and many cities from Hanoi to Henan County are now in the hands of the princes who came to participate in the alliance.
From a military point of view, it would be more advantageous to use those cities as the starting point of the war, so Fang Zhiwen suspected that the so-called alliance under the Tiger Prison Pass was likely to be a pre-war ventilation meeting between the princes, and then it was greatly cleverly used by Zhi Brain, taking the opportunity to launch a large-scale plot mission facing the player.
However, judging from the current lively situation in the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhi Brain's plan has obviously succeeded again, if the Kwantung Princes' alliance does not perform under the Tiger Prison Pass after this time, wouldn't it be very disappointing, and the face of the Kwantung Princes is almost lost.
Yuan Shao discussed with Yuan Shu, and set up the main venue in Yuan Shu's Chinese army camp, which of course Yuan Shu desperately fought for, and the camp here was also built by Yuan Shu first, so he was a landlord, and Yuan Shao did not want to compete with Yuan Shu for this false name.
It's just that in addition to the plan of dividing pork, the alliance also has an important agenda, that is, to elect a supreme military commander, that is, the so-called alliance leader, the status of this alliance leader may not really be able to command all the princes, but in a sense, he can become the spiritual leader among the princes, and he is the leader of the Central Plains clan, in other words, Yuan Kui's successor.
So everyone was a little stunned to find that it seemed that the Yuan brothers still intended to pass this alliance, q! ~!
