Two hundred miles to the northeast of Gong County, Chenggao area, the original flat terrain suddenly rugged, Luo Shui here and the Yellow River confluence, Songshan here and the mountain gathered with the mountain.

This is the eastern gate of Liaoyang, 70 years ago, the post-Han generation of talented women Ben Zhao followed her son Cao Cheng from Yanyang to Chen to stay in office, on the way to Gong County, Chenggao, leaving "the history of the seven cities and viewing, by Gong County as many difficulties, looking at the exchange of Heluo, as the sigh of the archway of the husband".

Gong County is rugged, and the location of the county is even higher, is a prominent mountain on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Yellow River runs east, and so on, detour to the north, around the highlands, and back to the south, all the way east.

On top of the stool, there is a city, which was the fictitious land of Zhou Wuwang's brother Yuzhong, called the East Yuguo, and later Zhou Mu Wangji was full of "Shanghu Tiger" here, so it became a "tiger prison" called!

Qin Shi set up a gate here, called the tiger prison, but after several destruction, to the first year of the Ling Emperor, that is, six years ago, the general He entered in this corner gate, take the class Zhao "as the whirling of the door", but the nearby people still call this gate as the tiger prison.

At this time, the east of the sun just rose, the sky is not bright, Zhang Liao will stand above the tiger prison, observe the terrain, can not help but sigh.

No wonder the tiger prison is famous, this male, south of the thorn, north of the Yellow River, closed down the mountains staggered, the valley is rugged, from the day of danger, a husband closed, Wanfu Mo Kai, only three thousand soldiers and horses in here, you can guard the east gate, to prevent from the east side of the enemy, the enemy.

From the tiger prison to the east for dozens of miles, is the water, the southeast is Xianyang, the northwest is the Aocaang, and then dozens of miles to the east and across the water, is the road, through the county, the original Wu, Yangwu, Zhongmao three or four hundred miles, to the border of Yuzhou Zanzhu County, that is, the place where 100,000 troops stationed on the eastern road of the Guandong people.

However, the princes of the sour jujube are only there every day to set up a high-alcohol meeting there, no intention to come west, 100,000 soldiers consume grain and grass, and harm the county.

Mother, these princes since the sour jujube generous oath, the oath left behind, 100,000 troops stranded in the sour jujube county, war and no war, retreat and do not retreat, and tiger prison separated by three or four hundred miles, even the confrontation is not, it is really speechless, it is speechless, the army came west, a big war, a victory or defeat, it is better than such a scene.

As for the legend of the famous Three English Battles of Lubu in the future, I am afraid it is also a false talk.Now Gong Sun is still in the Yuzhou and Liu Yuming fight, did not participate in the battle against Dong Zhuo, and Liu Bei should still be running around, did not go to Gongsun, as for Lu Bu, still in the mountains in the excavation of the imperial mausoleum.

“What is Wenyuan thinking?”A middle-age man asked.

This is the man who will be Xu Rong.

After the Guandong princes started the army, Dong Zhuo ordered Xu Rong to lead ten thousand cavalry, five thousand steps to the town, and refused to leave the princes of the East to the tiger prison.After Xu Rong took office, he divided 15,000 soldiers into three batches, 5,000 towns guarded the tiger prison, the other 10,000 were out of the tiger prison, five thousand to the southeast town to guard the sun, five thousand to the northwest town to guard the aoca, each other for the horns, the arch tiger prison.

Hearing Xu Rong inquired, Zhang Liao looked at Xu Rong: "Brother Xu, the younger brother is wondering whether the troops should be placed forward again, over the water, stationed in the Guangwu Mountain King's hometown, and can even drive forward between the county and the original force."Otherwise, once the Kanto thieves occupy the overlord's old city, across the water and I and other confrontations, then the aostaur is in danger, and it becomes the situation of Gaozu and the overlord confrontation four hundred years ago, and it is difficult for me to wait for Yuzhou in the east."

Four hundred years ago, when Chu Han competed for Xiong, Gaozu Liubang and Wang Xiangyu were here around Chenggao, Xingyang, Aocang and Guangwu Mountain, each occupying half of the light fog mountain, across the gap that is the water, a full two-and-a-half-year confrontation, although the final Liu Bang with the advantage of Guanzhong, from the north and south, the attack on the east side and the wind.

Therefore, Zhang Liao thought that Xu Rong could cross the water with his troops and stationed the other half of Guangwu Mountain, so that he would completely occupy the advantage of the land to the east.

Xu Rong sighed, "He is not strong enough, but also to prevent Yingchuan."

Zhang Liao nodded, Xu Rong's defense although somewhat conservative, but not as careful, out of the tiger prison, from the Xingyang will be divided into two roads, east of Yuzhou, to the south is Yinchuan.Yingchuan is too guarded by Li Yu and Yuzhou to stab Shikong Ting 20,000 troops in the south of Xingyang, it is indispensable.

Xu Rong praised: "Wenyuan's military training method, really make a certain heart."

Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Brother Xu has been praised, and Xu Brother's elite iron ride will be salivated at the end."

Xu Rong could not laugh.

It is said that Zhang Liao transferred to Chenggao to help Xu Rong stationed in the tiger prison, but he is now a tiger lieutenant, and Zhonglang Xu Rong is only half a difference, and there is no direct relationship, but only by his moderation, so he was also released in front of Xu Rong.

And Xu Rong is a Liaodong people, following Dong Zhuo for many years in the south to the north, meritorious meritorious, in addition to the later Lu Bo, he is the only non-sheritage under the honglang general, can see its ability, but also because of this, he was excluded by the people of Liangzhou under Dong Zhuo, developed a cold and taciturn character, his general sergeant was also awe of him.

However, Xu Rong is the same for Zhang Liao, perhaps the two have the same situation under Dong Zhuo, a few days together, Zhang Liao's character is also very similar to him, the two people talk and laugh, but Xu Rongjun those soldiers are surprised.

The two of them talked a little, and the sky was bright.

Zhang Liao smiled and said, “Brother Xu, it’s time to practice the soldiers.”

Xu Rong laughed and said, “Good, go with me!”

The elite soldiers are certainly played out, but they must also practice unremittingly on weekdays, and they must not be slackened one day, and both of them obviously understand this truth.

When he was in the city, Zhang Liao could not help looking at the southeast.

A few days ago, after he arrived at the tiger prison, he first saw Xu Rong, and then personally escorted Tang Wan out of the tiger prison, through Xingyang, until Yingchuan.

There are 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yuzhou Shikong and Yingchuan, but he can't go, but he can't go, but he also asked Gu Xiying, Zuo Ci and Su's father and daughter, plus Zhang Jian with hundreds of personal guards to escort Tang Wan home.

He did not want Tang Wan to leave, but Tang Wan's mother was seriously ill, he could not oppose for his own selfishness, but he also understood in his heart that Tang Wan came home, afraid that it was easy to not come back, and even never came back.

This is the chaos of the world, he has no place, even he is difficult to take care of himself, and how can she protect Tang Wan, perhaps she can go home to be more stable.Yin, he entrusted the care of his master and mother Zhang, when leaving Xiao Pingjin, he was under the reminder of Zuo Mercy, sent Shia to assassinate the sneaky Ping County Lingping, which is Dong Juan's lack of running dogs, he could not leave a disaster there.As for Su Ting, following the left Ci east to protect Tang Wan, Zhang Liao also hopes that she can always follow Tang Wan around to protect her.

All was settled, Zhang Liao also suddenly understood the meaning of Huo's illness, "the Huns are not extinct, why home", he said this sentence when he met Dong Zhuo at the beginning of last year, but to ease the atmosphere, but now he feels another meaning.

The Huns are not destroyed, why the family?Of course, this is a kind of pride and ambition, but also a responsibility, as a general, for many years abroad to fight, is to have a home, do not have time to take care of, but also let the wife and children worry, but not as much as no, no care, single-minded.

Touching the clothes that Tang Wan had sewn to himself, his mind threw the figure of crying when Tang Wan left, and he strode back to Cheng.

He brought more than 4,000 soldiers under him, and the west of Chenggao is already a scorched earth, which is suitable for large-scale training, infantry cavalry cooperation, and galloping across.

Now just the right to train the army, only as soon as possible to have the strength, in order to protect their own everything.

And if he remembers correctly, the eastern princes stationed in the eastern road in Zao County in history are not all inaction, and there is a person who has led the army to enter the west, and this person is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is different from other Kanto princes, he and Sun Jian, many times with soldiers, have a wealth of military experience, can not be underestimated.

Zhang Liao is looking forward to a war with Cao Cao, since the war is inevitable in this mess, then he took the initiative to meet, with the hero of the world for a longer and shorter, but also in the blood and fire to train their own elite soldiers, quickly grow strength, in order to show their ambitions in the chest.

As early as when he escorted Tang Wan away, he sent Yang Han and two hundred rebuke soldiers to explore all the information in the three or four hundred miles.

Zhang Liao has always attached the most importance to pre-war intelligence, and Zuo Ci will leave sooner or later, and he must quickly cultivate and use these rebeachers.Fortunately, many of these rebeachers were originally tourists in the surrounding counties, which was quite familiar, and it was more difficult to find out the news.

Three days later, the reprimand returned, a group of 20,000 soldiers and horses set out from Sour Zao County, all the way west, the flag for Cao, Bao.
