"Brother Wentai - Luoyang City is in front of you, it seems that there is no defense in the city, it is the time for you and me to make contributions!" It was Cao Cao who spoke, he and Sun Jian made a detour to Qilian Mountain to attack Luoyang, and after nearly twenty days of detour, they were finally less than three miles away from Luoyang City, and their troops were added together with 5,000 men and horses, and now they were repairing in a hidden wood. When he arrived in Luoyang City, Cao Cao was not in a hurry, he knew that Dong Zhuo's many capable people would not be defenseless against Luoyang, and now they were just waiting for Luoyang City's movements.

"Mengde—don't you really want to contact those relatives and friends in the city? The walls of Luoyang City are so high, if we want to capture Luoyang City, we can only outwit it! Why didn't you see General Yuan Rang today? "If you talk about who is familiar with Luoyang, of course, it is Cao Cao himself, he has been in Luoyang for many years, and he has made friends with most of the powerful people, if someone can do the internal response, then to seize Luoyang is to be captured, but the Xiahou Yuan Xiahoudun brothers who have been following Cao Cao are not here today, Sun Jian wondered in his heart whether the two of them went to Luoyang City together?

"Brother Wentai - I won't tell you that although there are many official eunuchs in Luoyang City, but how people's hearts are really unpredictable, we are originally a partial division that can only be used as a surprise attack, once someone among them is contacted to betray us, Tiger Prison Pass is only a day and a night away from here, Xiliang Iron Cavalry gallops to Luoyang, then we may not be able to hold it, only Hangu Pass is garrisoned by Xu Rong under Dong Zhuo in the west, we can only secretly go to Luoyang City to block the news of the fall of Luoyang, and then ambush Dong Zhuo's reinforcements halfway to consume, I don't know if Brother Wen Tai thinks it's feasible? "Cao Cao's idea is to seize Luoyang City, stick to the imperial capital, and wait for the Kwantung princes to break the Tiger Prison Pass, so that they can defeat Dong Zhuo with the Kwantung princes back and forth, so that he Cao Cao will make great contributions to the marquis and worship the prime minister.

"Meng De's plan is very clever - it's just that if the Kwantung princes can't defeat the Tiger Prison Pass, our 5,000 men and horses are facing Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops, and they are really a little disappointed in the coalition army, there are originally good fighters that are the Yuan family brothers and others who are too guarded to have ghosts, and Lu Bu is a 10,000-strong enemy under the Tiger Prison Pass, and they can't pass Lu Bu's pass at all!" Sun Jian knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of Yuan Shu at Bishui Pass, and when he talked about the Kwantung princes, he was disheartened, and there were less than two or three soldiers in the eighteenth route princes.

"Believe me - I have an intuition that as long as Yangzhou Zhou Yu does not withdraw his troops, then he must have a way to break through the Tiger Prison Pass, and his subordinate Huang Zhong slashed Huaxiong with a knife under Bishui Pass, and he has an old grudge with Lu Bu outside the Tiger Prison Pass, if he can make a move, it may not be impossible to break the Tiger Prison Pass? I think we should break Luoyang first, let Dong Zhuo's backyard catch fire to deal with the battle of the Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo is also afraid that we will cut off our back road, and will definitely withdraw the army back to Luoyang City, when the Tiger Pass defenders will not be able to stop the attack of the Kwantung princes at all, and we can only join forces to fight in the danger of wealth and danger! Cao Cao has an indescribable trust in Zhou Yu, along the way he is concerned about Zhou Yu can always turn decay into magic, Zhou Yu rescued the young emperor from Dong Zhuo's hands alone shows that this person is concerned about the big man, the heart of the big man but not pampered and arrogant, the big man is about to fall but there are always loyal people to protect, Zhou Yu is a person he believes can be the king of the wild, although he does not fight for merit but always shoots at the key moment, Cao Cao is also pinning his hopes on Zhou Yu, as for Yuan Shao. Brother Yuan Shu is just a wine bag and a rice bag, and it can't be a big deal.

"How about General Meng Desun listen to me?" A handsome person dressed as a literati is Xi Zhicai, Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are a pair of friends, but when the Kwantung princes were in the alliance, Guo Jiacheng Yu and others did not show up, and now Guo Jia does not know that the Xi Zhicai he once recommended was put into Cao Cao's command, and calling on the princes to ask Dong is the first plan offered by Xi Zhicai, but he missed that Zhou Yu was able to rescue the young emperor unharmed, and when the alliance selected the coach, Xi Zhicai felt that if Cao Cao recommended Yuan Shao, he should be able to get a good position. But the young emperor Liu Bian didn't know what kind of wind to smoke, and the edict of the Son of Heaven sealed the positions of these people, and Xi Zhi knew that his friend Guo Jia Chengyu followed Zhou Yu, but being able to take the lead step by step really made him have nowhere to focus. The reason why Cao Cao has not made a move in the battle of Bishui Pass is that Xi Zhi let him hide it, and outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Xi Zhi proposed that Cao Cao divide his troops to attack Luoyang, that is, after the fall of Bishui Pass, Dong Zhuo will personally lead the army to levy the Kwantung princes, then Luoyang must be empty, he wants Cao Cao to become famous in a battle, and he also wants to take the wealth of Luoyang to win the hearts of the family, only with the support of these people, Cao Cao can grow rapidly. Cao Cao raised troops in Hedong Wei this time to help, Xi Zhicai listened to Cao Cao Sun Jian's strategy and couldn't help but shake his head, according to their style of play, there is nothing wrong, but in this way, whether they can retreat is a big problem.

"I wish Mr. Wen Gao to see-" Cao Cao is thirsty for talent, Corporal Lixian is brought in his bones, and he is very happy when he sees Xi Zhicai, it seems that Xi Zhicai must have a better way than them, Cao Cao saw Sun Jian's puzzled face and opened his mouth to introduce Sun Jian, "This is my staff Mr. Xi Zhicai-why don't we listen to Mr. Gao!" ”

Of course, Sun Jian didn't have any opinions, Xi Zhicai touched his chin and said with a short beard and said with a smile, "General Sun, don't listen to Meng De, I just have some ideas that I want to discuss with the two, now our troops are only five thousand, which is not enough to occupy Luoyang City, but we can send lobbyists into the city in advance to persuade some official eunuchs to help us break the city, but our purpose is not to break the city, but to strengthen the momentum and feint Luoyang, and pretend to let the defenders in Luoyang City ask Dong Zhuo for help, let's ambush Dong Zhuo on the way, Take the opportunity to rescue Emperor Liu Xie, as long as we are surrounded by this side and do not fight, then the princes outside the Tiger Prison Pass will speed up the attack when they find the great changes in Luoyang, and as soon as the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, we will be able to join forces with the Kwantung princes, so that Dong Zhuo can only stick to Luoyang in the end, as long as Luoyang is finally taken, then other wait-and-see forces will definitely swarm to fight Dong Zhuo. Destroying Dong Zhuo is just around the corner—"

"Sir-something I don't understand, you mean that we don't fight around Luoyang just to disrupt Dong Zhuo's army, Dong Zhuo's army will return to Luoyang City to cause the tiger prison to be unstable, then our halfway ambush must hurt Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo will be desperate to return to Luoyang. In this way, we are tantamount to reducing the pressure on the Tiger Prison Pass, and Luoyang City will be unstable if there is an internal response, until the army arrives and can concentrate on attacking Luoyang City. I don't know if this is what Sun understands? When Sun Jian heard that Xi Zhicai was so little, he immediately understood that this was a typical encirclement point in the art of war, and it was indeed a good way!

"That's right - I arranged it this way, first, we can reduce casualties, and the men and horses in the city can give the Luoyang defenders a headache, and second, it is most appropriate to ambush Dong Zhuoxuan here, as long as we occupy the obstacle, Dong Zhuo's army will definitely suffer countless casualties, and third, let Dong Zhuo's army go, let's turn into the Xiliang army to deceive the tiger prison and respond to the army's entry into the city, so that Luoyang can kill Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's strong power is not something that our 5,000 men can shake, the key is to unite the Kwantung princes - "Xi Zhicai is also a famous wise man, and he can also see clearly that defeating Dong Zhuo must rely on the Kwantung princes.

After the strategy was agreed, Sun Jian and Cao Cao ordered to go down and prepare a lot of flags and tents, and attack Luoyang City early tomorrow morning-
