Chapter 13: Hammering the Tiger Prison
Looking back, it was Huainan Yuan Shu! Li You was slightly surprised, isn't this the line Liu Bei said when he was in Baimen Tower? Why did you say it today! Thinking about Yuan Shao's words again, Li You understood that the Yuan brothers didn't want the other princes to have too much power! Cao Cao now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, many fierce generals such as the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, plus Lu Bu is even more powerful! That's why he came up with this strategy to sow discord.
Yuan Shu didn't say it, but when he said it, it inspired Cao Cao's pride, he remembered what he said when he was cooking wine in the tent in the morning and talking about heroes, how confident he was in front of Han and Liu at that time, is it that now Lu Bu has no courage to send it to him? He laughed, "Haha, is Cao comparable to Ding Jianyang?" Lu Bu, are you willing to submit to me? β
When he was in Luoyang, Cao Cao was respectful to himself, but now he wants to be his subordinate! Lu Bu felt quite uncomfortable in his heart, but he had already surrendered once just now, and now it was just a joke to say anything hard, Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, "Lu Bu greets the lord!" β
"Bong first, please get up!" Cao Cao hurriedly helped Lu Bu up with both hands, and did not forget to dust off his body for him, took his hand and said, "I have to serve first, like an arm!" Seeing him so respectful and humble, Lu Bu had half of the scruples in his heart.
The monarchs and ministers over there got along, and Zhang Fei over there saw the Qingluo umbrella cover fluttering in the west wind, and shouted at the moment, "This must be Dong Zhuo!" It is reasonable to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take down Dong Zhuo, which is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! "Then you have to rush forward!
Cao Cao also echoed, "Now that Dong is newly defeated, he can take advantage of the situation to pursue him; Why didn't you urge the army to take the tiger prison directly? β
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "The soldiers are tired, and it is useless to advance. "Beihai Kong Rong, Hanoi Wang Kuang, Hebei Bao Xin, Shangdang Zhang Yang and other princes also said that they should not be moved lightly.
Cao Cao was furious, "The erector is not enough and conspiracy!" "After that, he will lead his men and horses to attack the city.
"Mengde and slow! I advance and retreat with Mengde! Li Youce immediately stepped forward and instructed Pan Feng, "You lead my Jizhou people and horses to temporarily return to Cao Gong's command!" Follow Cao Gong to attack the Tiger Prison Pass! β
Pan Feng took the order and left, and Li You turned his gaze to Liu Bei again, "Is Xuande Gong willing to march with the two of us?" β
"Prepare for it!" After that, Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to urge the horse to stand behind Cao Cao.
Li You's gaze swept over Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng and others in turn, and he held the sword in his hand and said, "Dong Zhuo and I have no enmity. Now I am desperate to brave the arrows and stones, to kill the soldiers, the upper is for the country to seek thieves, and the lower is for the glorious lintel; But you paused in front of the pass, and sat back and watched us fight alone, how can you be at peace in your heart? β
"Cao is ashamed to be with you!" Cao Cao said that he pulled out his long sword, cut off the corner of the robe and threw it on the ground, and he actually wanted to cut off the robes with many princes!
"Lord!" Sun Jian's Huang Gai and Cheng Pu stepped forward at the same time, looking at Sun Jian, there seemed to be a intention to fight in their eyes; Gongsun Zhan looked at his junior brother Liu Bei, his face was ashamed; Ma Teng's right hand clenched the hilt of the sword and released it, repeatedly.
"Dong Zhuo rebelled against the sky and overthrew the royal family, I want to raze his nine clans, to thank the world, Anken stopped here?" Sun Jian finally made a decision, he pulled his horse forward and shouted loudly, "The order of a county is still known to serve the country, how can we be left behind!" Wenjie, Meng De, and Xuande were ashamed, and Changsha Sun Jian came to help! β
"How can Gongsun Zan of Liaodong be a cowardly person!" Gongsun Chan stretched out his hand and waved, and Bai Ma Yi behind him took three steps forward from Qi Qi.
"And my Xiliang Ma Teng!" Ma Teng glanced at Li Yuanba, he no longer had the world-beating power of his ancestor Fubo General Ma Yuan, did he want to lose his horse leather shroud?
Among the other princes, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian seemed to have moved, but they saw that the Yuan brothers and others were still standing still, so they lowered their heads again; For a time, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were divided into two groups.
Although Li You only has himself, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zhan and Ma Teng, the five-way princes and Liu Bei, a small plain county commander, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and their strength is better than that of the remaining princes!
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw this, "Thank you Wentai, Bo Jue, and Shou Cheng for their help!" When the Tiger Prison Pass is captured, Cao will drink with all the kings! β
"More on that later! For now, please also ask Meng De to command the army to attack the city! It's not too late to talk about drinking until Dong Zhuo and the thieves are taken! Li You actually planned to hand over the command to Cao Cao, and added, "The enemy army is newly defeated, and the opportunity for victory is fleeting, Meng De must not refuse!" β
"Good!" Cao Cao is also a decisive person, seeing that Gongsun Zhan and others did not speak out against it, he immediately responded, "General Gongsun, General Su Wen under the command of Bai Ma Yi is from a thousand miles away. It's not a waste of chasing! Please also ask General Gongsun to lead the army to pursue the remnants of the enemy in front of the pass! β
"Sun Taishou, Xuande Gong, and General Pan Feng, after General Gongsun clears the remnants of the enemy, he will attack the Tiger Prison Pass with me! Ma Taishou, if we break through the Tiger Prison Pass, please also ask Ma Taishou to immediately lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry straight into the pass, and be sure to intercept the Dong thief! β
A series of orders, each of which just uses the strengths of these generals! Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong is a light cavalry, and he is the best at driving and pursuing, and it is perfect to clear the remnants of Lu Bu's defeated army left in front of the pass! Sun Jian is brave and brave to fight, Pan Feng has the experience of taking Bishui Pass, and although Liu Bei has few soldiers and horses, he is a fierce general like Zhang, which is just used to attack fortifications! And Ma Teng's subordinates are all cavalry, and they are not good at attacking passes, so it is better to reserve enough horsepower to use for the final pursuit!
This Cao Cao's way of using troops is really extraordinary! Li You was thinking about it, only to see Cao Cao bow to himself, "Wenjie, please borrow General Yuanba!" β
"Haha! Why not! Immediately, Li You guessed his intentions, turned his head and said to Li Yuanba, "Yuanba, I didn't fight enough just now, this opportunity has come again!" Tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses are pointing to you as a pioneer! β
Bear children are all to be coaxed, Li You said that Li Yuanba was very happy! Immediately urged Wanli Feng to come to Cao Cao, "Do you have anything to ask the master to help with?" β
"You!" Behind Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers were furious when they heard this, but he stretched out his hand to stop them, and they didn't care about Li Yuanba calling himself a master in front of him, and said with a pleasant face, "General Yuanba!" The terrain of this tiger prison is steep, and only the gate can be entered! Please also ask General Yuanba to open the city gate for our army! β
"Didn't you fight with someone?" Li Yuanba pursed his lips regretfully, but when he saw the tiger prison closed, he cheered up again, "You guys wait!" I'll come when I go! β
After that, he rode his horse and galloped to the door before closing the door, wielding a double hammer to knock off the rolling wood and stones flying above his head, flying bottle arrows, and shouted loudly, and smashed the right hammer on the door with the momentum of the wind!
