Chapter 72: The Great Battle of the Tiger Prison (16)

Sun Jian offered to leave. Yuan Shu also felt that he was at a loss, looked at everyone, and hoped that someone could say a good word and give him a step. But I heard Yuan Shao shouting: "If you want to go, just go!" We can also win the Tiger Prison Pass, and when we take Luoyang, don't you regret it? ”

Yuan Shu was angry and glared at Yuan Shao fiercely. Kong Rong sighed and stood up and said: "General Sun, don't be angry, some people want the alliance leader to slander, and they are afraid that the general will rob the credit, and the alliance leader has found out, and he will definitely behead the person who entered the slander, and give the general an explanation." ”

Kong Rong pulled Sun Jian and asked Sun Jian to sit down again. Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I will behead the person who entered the slander and give the general an explanation!" ”

Regarding this matter, Cao Cao is relatively low-key. I sat silently all the time. Waiting for Sun Jian to calm down, Cao Cao said: "The Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have now defeated Lu Bu, but it is still difficult to capture, it is impossible to attack for a long time, it is not a way to waste grain and grass here, and it is not a way to do it for a long time!" ”

Speaking of grain and grass, Li Hui suddenly stood up and asked Yuan Shaodao: "Lord Yuan, when will the grain and grass that we said will be at the junction?" ”

Yuan Shao had already put this matter behind him. Seeing Li Hui come to ask, he couldn't answer at all. Li Hui saw that Yuan Shao didn't speak, so he said to Yuan Shu: "Your Excellency the Alliance Leader, I believe that General Sun Jian has already relayed my words to you, if no one here can make decisions for me, I might as well leave!" ”

Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "Lord Li, don't be impatient, what you promised should be copied, you also have to be considerate of Yuan Taishou, this place is thousands of miles away from the Bohai Sea, even if it is transported, it will take some time, wait a few days." ”

Sun Jian stood up again and said: "Alliance leader, you asked me to be the messenger at that time, but now that the matter is done, you can't let me make a fool of myself in front of Li Huixian's nephew!" Give a happy word, when will you give food and grass? ”

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao didn't look at it. Yuan Shu also knew that it was more difficult to get things out of his brother's hands than to ascend to the sky, so he sighed and said: "Let's go, after three days, Master Li can go to the military commissar to receive 50,000 loads of grain, grass and the clothes he needs, even if it is compensation!" ”

Li Hui smiled and left. Cao Cao and Sun Jian then left. Bao Xin, Liu Dai, and Wang Kuang felt that Yuan Shu was using public affairs for personal gain, and left angrily. Kong Rong shook his head and sighed and left. Han Fu glanced at Yuan Shao, smiled and left. …… In short, everyone's expression and psychology are different.

In the end, only Yuan Shu was left to drink Yuan Shao. Two brothers, you look at me, I look at you, but I can't find the right words. Suddenly, the colonel came to report that Dong Zhuo had suddenly withdrawn his troops from the Tiger Prison.

Both of them were stunned, and then rushed to their military tents at the same time. Yuan Shu was the first to quickly lead the troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, followed by Yuan Shao. The rest didn't know what was going on after that, and they all speculated about what they were doing with their troops. After they all learned the news of Dong Zhuo's withdrawal, they looked at the direction of Tiger Pass with contempt.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru sat in a stone room. Dong Zhuo asked, "Li Ru, do you think those princes will be fooled?" ”

Li Ru smiled: "Today Wenhou is newly defeated, we have fought with them again, although our small victory is not enough to completely defeat the alliance army, we must use strategy, now Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are greedy for merit, I heard that my father-in-law withdrew the army, I will not wait for other princes, and lead the troops to come!" ”

Dong Zhuo nodded: "These two guys, like their Lao Tzu, are both guys who only care about their immediate interests!" ”

Yuan Shu was the first to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass. Above Xiongguan, a scattered soldier walked back and forth, and Dong Zhuo's banner was indeed gone. Yuan Shu didn't wait for Yuan Shao, and waved the flag: "Attack!" ”

The soldiers crossed the moat as quickly as ants, and climbed the wall without much effort. Yuan Shu put his mind at ease, as long as he controls the wall, he will win the Tiger Prison Pass.

There was a loud "boom", and the gate of the tiger prison was smashed by a huge door hammer. Yuan Shu's cavalry quickly poured into the city. By the time Yuan Shao arrived, Yuan Shu was already standing on top of the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass. Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu laughed: "Brother, you're late, this tiger prison has been taken by me!" ”

Yuan Shao led the soldiers, entered the Tiger Prison Pass, found a random place, blasted the people away, and lived in it himself. On this day, Yuan Shao felt very unlucky, the first time he attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, he lost his soldiers, returned to the camp and faced Sun Jian's accusations, coupled with Li Hui's boy's fall into the well, he was uncomfortable enough. Unexpectedly, he was busy for a long time, but he let Yuan Shu get a ready-made, and the more he wrote, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, the more he couldn't sleep.

Yuan Shao got up and suddenly realized why it was so bright outside. Hurriedly came out to watch, and I don't know where the fire broke out in the distance. Yuan Shao thought to himself: It has entered winter, the weather is dry, and the starting point fire is normal, so it is best to burn Yuan Shu's guy to death.

No, how can this fire become less and bigger, could it be that Yuan Shu's people are all dead, and no one is going to put out the fire? Yuan Shao immediately called a soldier and asked him to go over to investigate. As soon as the soldier left, Yuan Shao felt that something was wrong, and his back was also on fire, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Yuan Shao immediately asked people to put out the fire.

The Tiger Prison Pass is built on the mountain, with two doors behind the front and back, and the location behind the fire is the front door, and the side opposite him should be the back door. The fire started from two doorways and spread like in the city.

The soldier quickly reported: "My lord, the fire is so great that someone has buried fire oil in the ground, and it is impossible to extinguish it." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately understood that Dong Zhuo's retreat was a strategy, and he beat his chest and blamed himself for his mistake. The guard hurriedly pulled him up and said, "My lord, let's go quickly, while the fire hasn't burned here yet, let's go over the wall!" ”

Yuan Shao was carried by the guards onto the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, watching the fire in the city. Everywhere there were the figures of soldiers running, the screams, the sound of houses collapsing, mixed with the smell of burnt meat and the smell of roasted meat, all poured into his nose.

Yuan Shu walked over with the support of everyone, Yuan Shu was too dead to sleep, and was burned by the fire, his beard and eyebrows were all gone, and even some of his hair was burned off, and the rest was coiled around his head like a Buddha.

These two difficult brothers, you look at me, I look at you, looking at the few soldiers behind me, it is really to the point of wanting to cry without tears. The next day, the alliance army, led by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, came to the Tiger Prison Pass, looking at the Tiger Prison Pass, which had been burned to a scorched earth, Kong Rong sighed: "Dong Zhuo is really inhumane, just fighting, even the people of the Tiger Prison Pass have not let go, it is really vicious!" ”

On a high hill outside the gate, everyone found the Yuan brothers. Both of them looked haggard, and they were not embarrassed to look at everyone. Han Fu was the first to say to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Taishou, I thought you had arrived in Luoyang, why are you so embarrassed?" Bao Xin and the others laughed.

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu and said, "The alliance leader is fine!" Do you want someone to heal you? ”

When everyone entered the Tiger Prison, there were no more than three or two houses left, not a single living person, and there were corpses everywhere, emitting a foul smell. Cao Cao instructed the soldiers to dig a large pit in the Tiger Prison Pass and bury all the corpses. There were too many corpses, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had a total of more than 80,000 soldiers, and more than 30,000 people in Tiger Prison. Dong Zhuo's fire almost caused all the 110,000 people to be burned in the fire.

Li Hui sighed: "This Dong Zhuo is really crazy, he can do such a move, if he doesn't get rid of him, it will be really a disaster." ”
