A towering tiger prison fortress city, standing between the Songshan mountains, like a barrier, the Wu army that is dead blocking the way to Luoyang.
There are not many soldiers and horses in the city, just like half of the Bishui Pass, the elite main force has actually been transferred back to Luoyang City, and what is left behind is only some young and strong people who cannot be recruited, and there are only 20,000 of them.
There are not many soldiers and horses of the Wu army outside the city, there is only one army plus a division of troops, and the main force of the Wu army is not here, it is under the city of Bishui Pass.
Above and below the city, between the offensive and defensive sides, the Tiger Prison Pass has an advantage.
But the formation is relative, the momentum of the Wu army has been suppressing the Wei army in the city, the Wei army is about to be defeated, there is no will to fight, lack of morale, if it is not for Zhang Liao to sit in the town, maybe they have already collapsed when the army is in the city.
But this big war is already on the verge of breaking out The city is closed.
Zhang Liao was wearing battle armor, cloaked hunting, standing with a burly body, he carried his hands behind his back, his eyes were gloomy, looking at the Wu army outside the city, but his mind seemed to return to Xiao Guan during the defeat of the Lu State in the past.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to come this far" It's as if history is repeating itself.
During the defeat of the Lu State established by him and Lü Bu, Lü Bu had surrendered internally and externally, and his soldiers and horses were trapped in Xiao Pass, and the desperate scene made him vividly remember.
It's just that Zhang Liao looked at the banner outside the city, his face couldn't help but be bitter, he never thought that this time the soldiers came to the city to destroy his city, and it was actually his brother Lu Bu, who grew up together since he was a child and followed when he was young.
On that day, he had obviously fallen in love with Cao Cao, the lord, but he was reluctant to lead his troops to surrender above Xiao Pass, he was worried about this, maybe he should have thought of such a day.
Over the years, he fought for Cao Wei, destroyed the Jin, extinguished the Liang, and fought in the south and the north, but he always carefully avoided fighting with him.
But after all, they can't escape the decisive battle on the battlefield.
Moreover, this battle was Lu Bu's victorious posture and soldiers approaching the city, and he was just returning to the predicament of the year again, and once again faced the choice of surrendering and fighting to the death.
"General, the Wu army is getting closer and closer, as long as they cross the moat, they are afraid that they will attack the city directly" Beside Zhang Liao, six or seven captains and generals looked worriedly at the Wu army approaching step by step outside the city, and some people said worriedly.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth" Zhang Liao's eyes were resolute: "What are you worried about, with their little soldiers and horses, even if Lu Bu personally kills them, and wants to break the city, it is wishful thinking."
"The Great General" At this time, a young general walked up to the city from the city, and then saluted respectfully to Zhang Liao's back.
This young general is about seventeen or eighteen years old, very young, but his appearance is obviously a little similar to Zhang Liao's face, but his temperament is less calm and more vibrant.
He is Zhang Liao's only son, Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu is Zhang Liao's only son, when he surrendered to Cao Wei with his father, he was actually seven or eight years old when he left Xuzhou, and he began to be sensible, he naturally knew the relationship between his father Zhang Liao and his uncle Lu Bu.
And when Yu Ban led his troops out of the Tiger Prison Pass, he was already disappointed in Cao Wei, so he was willing to open the city and surrender, but his father Zhang Liao was persistent and was always unwilling to surrender Lu Bu outside the city.
"It's someone outside the city again" Zhang Hu took a step forward and reported in a low voice.
"Killed" When Zhang Liao heard this, he replied indifferently.
He knew that Lu Bu wanted to surrender, but he couldn't surrender, so he used this way to tell Lu Bu that no matter what he did, he would not surrender to Eastern Wu.
"Father, this time the person who came here is our acquaintance," Zhang Hu reminded him.
"Who" Zhang Liao frowned.
"Uncle Fang Li" Zhang Hu hurriedly said: "Uncle Fang Li, who escorted me and my mother to Xiaoguan to meet my father" At the beginning, he was supporting the army in Xiaoguan, and Lu Bu in Xiapi had surrendered, and he was in a dilemma and wanted to surrender to Cao Wei, but he had two considerations, one was Lu Bu, and the other was his wife and children who were still in Xiapi.
In the end, Lu Bu asked Fang Li, the general of the family, to escort his wife and children into Xiao Pass, and he really made up his mind to surrender to Cao Wei.
"It's Him" Zhang Liao's eyes were clustered, and there was a cold light in his eyes, but he sighed helplessly: "Bojing, you let him come up, I want to see what Boss Lu wants to say when he sends him here."
"No" Zhang Hu respectfully surrendered his hand.
In a short time, he took a middle-aged man and walked up to the top of the city.
"Fang Li meets the second master" Fang Li is Lu Bu's general, not a general in the army, so he uses an honorific title that is also an honorific title in the house.
Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, although the three of them are not as good as Liu Bei and a few others to make the matter of righteousness boiling, but they are indeed righteous brothers who support each other on the grassland.
Lu Bu is the leader, Zhang Liao is the second, and Gao Shun is the elder.
"Fang Li, long time no see," Zhang Liao said flatly.
"The second master is good," Fang Li smiled.
"Do you think I'm good like this" Zhang Liao sarcastically: "I'm now defeated by your master" "The second master said and laughed" Fang Lizhengse: "It was Cao Wei who lost to our Great Wu, not the second master who lost to the commander, the commander said, if the strength of the two armies is equal, I don't know who will kill the deer."
"You are very good at comforting General Ben, but now that we are in the confrontation between the two armies, I and Lu Fengxian are their masters, and I and you are already enemies of life and death, what do you have to say?"
Zhang Liao's tiger eyes condensed a fierce color, and asked coldly.
"The commander asked me to pass on a word to the second master," Fang Li arched his hand.
"Say" "The commander said that His Majesty has promised him that he is willing to exchange all the exploits he has established in Dawu, even if he is derogatorily called Bai Ding, in exchange for the life of the second master, as long as the second master is willing to open the city and surrender, even if he fights for this life, he will protect you well."
Fang Li said word by word: "Please also ask the second master to think about it" "Don't think about it" Zhang Liao's heart trembled a little, it was impossible to say that he was not moved at all, but he couldn't show it, his indifferent expression was expressionless, and his words were resolute: "You go back and tell Lu Fengxian that since Zhang Wenyuan has chosen Cao Wei back then, he is willing to bear it for his choice, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and the battle between me and him, it is inevitable, if he has the ability to kill General Ben, I, Zhang Wenyuan, have no complaints against him, but if I want General Ben to surrender, I give him three words, I can't do it" "Second Master" Fang Li paused.
"Go back" Zhang Liao's voice revealed a killing intent: "I won't kill you because we have an old past, if you say more, I will immediately cut off your head and sacrifice the flag" When Fang Li heard this, a chill suddenly ignited in his heart, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, didn't say a word, turned his head and left.
"Father" At this time, Zhang Hu was a little breathless, he looked at Zhang Liao's face, and said: "In the current situation, we are just trapped beasts fighting, and the tiger prison will not be able to hold on sooner or later, why?"
He brought Fang Li in, hoping to persuade his father to open the city gate and surrender.

"Why should you be buried with a court that is about to be destroyed, right?"
Zhang Liao interrupted him, and glanced at him with a slanted gaze: "Bojing, everyone can surrender, but my father can't surrender, it's as simple as that."
"Why" Zhang Hu gritted his teeth: "Yu Ban has already withdrawn the elite of our Tiger Prison Guard to Luoyang, and the strength of the Tiger Prison is only less than 20,000, not to mention the Wu army, and we have blocked it here for such a day, we have already done our best to the imperial court, and the Cao Wei court is trapped in Luoyang City, not to mention impossible to turn over, it is a matter of time before we are exterminated, even if we surrender to Eastern Wu at this time."
"Bojing, you are afraid of death" Zhang Liao squinted slightly.
"Me" Zhang Hu was still quite afraid of his father's eyes, his head suddenly shrank, gritted his teeth, and didn't dare to speak.
"I ask you, are you afraid of death" Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, and his tone was aggravated.
"Yes" Zhang Hu was so excited by his father, his heart was ruthless, and his emotions exploded: "Father, look at the surrounding sons, who is not afraid of death, the west is obviously unstoppable, the Wu army on the Hedong and Hongnong sides have all entered Luoyang City, and the elites have been dispatched back to Luoyang, all we leave behind are a crooked melon and cracked dates, ordinary young and strong, they are just recruits recruited by His Majesty for less than a year, and they will be defeated in one blow, they have no will to fight, and they have no morale, but because they believe in you, you forcibly pull them to be buried with you, is this appropriate?"
As soon as he said this, many generals ignited a scorching hope and looked at Zhang Liao.
"That's a good thing to say" Zhang Liao was a little stunned, it took a long time to come back to his senses, he squinted slightly, his eyes swept over, and he looked at the seven or eight captains and generals around him with their heads down, he suddenly showed a smile, and looked at this son with some surprise: "I didn't know that Bo Jing was so eloquent that he almost moved his heart for his father."
"Father, what are you clinging to?"
asked Zhang Hu.
"Bo Jing, the man is alive, and many things can be ignored, but living is a breath" Zhang Liao took a deep breath, his expression became more indifferent, his voice was a little vicissitudes, but he was very persistent: "This breath for my father can't be dispersed" "Father" Zhang Hu's face was ugly, and he wanted to persuade him.
"Bojing, don't persuade you to be a father" Zhang Liao waved his hand, then looked at the captains and generals, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for you to hold the city and block half a month, and this general will give you an explanation."
As long as he is blocking for half a month, he will be worthy of Cao.
"No" This is the soldiers and horses trained by Zhang Liao, so the generals are absolutely convinced by Zhang Liao, and they salute respectfully and receive the order.
Outside the city.
In the camp, Lu Bu listened to Fang Li's report, his face was very long, and finally he smiled bitterly: "Maybe a certain family should have known that today is today, how can Zhang Wenyuan be a surrenderer, his backbone is much more proud than mine."
"Commander, I see that the second master is determined to fight to the death."
Fang Li said in a low voice.
"You go down first" "Nuo" Fang Li left the tent.
"Dong Raid" "In" "Siege" "Now" Dong Xi gritted his teeth: "Didn't you wait until the new weapon arrived to attack the tiger prison?"
"Don't wait, start attacking now, I still want to try his determination" Lu Bu stood up, his eyes were cold, and there was a touch of anger in his expression: "Attack for three days, if he has a trace of surrender, he will inevitably collapse, if he is really unwilling to surrender, I can only kill him, kill a piece of armor and leave no behind, since I can't save him, I will personally send him on the road, with the whole brotherly affection" "No" With the command of Dong Xian, the drums sounded, and the war broke out.
The Wu army has been preparing outside the city for a long time, and each has complete siege equipment, and the offensive is naturally fierce, and the moat was quickly leveled, and the troops directly came to the city to capture the city.
Zhang Liao had already expected that Lu Bu would have this reaction, and the counterattack was very fierce, and he did not hesitate to fight to the death, never allowing the Wu army to set foot on the city.
The three-day battle ended with the defeat of the Wu army.
The Wu army only had the strength of one army, plus a division dispatched from Suozao County, adding up to 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses.
Tiger Prison Pass is the first male pass in the world.
There are still 20,000 young men in the city, although the combat strength of these young men is only four or five percent of the elite soldiers, but they have an innate advantage in sticking to the city wall.
Therefore, the defeat of the Wu army is also reasonable.
Of course, Lu Bu was only a tentative attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, so he didn't care much about the success or failure of this battle, and he didn't think that he could draw the battle in one battle.
All he had to do was get the results he wanted from this battle.
"It seems that Zhang Wenyuan is determined to be buried with this imperial court that is about to be destroyed," Lu Bu said to himself in a somewhat depressed voice, in the oppressive tent.
"In this case, a certain family will fulfill him" He gave up.
He has always felt that he is sorry for Zhang Liao, so he is willing to exchange all the exploits and all the glory and wealth he has earned over the years in exchange for Zhang Liao to survive.
But Zhang Liao didn't want to, what could he do.
To each his own.
It's like a chasm that stands in front of them, and it can't be erased.
Time passed bit by bit, and ten days later, a group of logistics entered the Wu army in the Tiger Pass.
"Can this thing break through the tiger prison?"
In a heavily guarded barracks, the batch of new weapons that Lu Bu looked at, Thunder thundered.
This is the latest style of Dongwu's heavenly thunder, he is no stranger, he also witnessed the battle of Yangpingguan at the beginning, but he has never used it, he is still a little skeptical.
"Commander, it's enough to break through the tiger's prison" A craftsman in charge of the escort said confidently: "This is our latest research, absolutely powerful Heavenly Thunder Boom" "Dong Raid" "In" "Attack the city tonight, wait for the city to be broken, the whole army will drive straight in, and capture Zhang Wenyuan alive" "No" In the middle of the night, a big battle broke out suddenly.
Boom, boom, boom In the earth-shattering sound of bombing, the fire burned, reflecting half of the sky, and this majestic tiger prison seemed to have been razed to the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Is Heaven Punished?"

"Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?"
"Impossible" "Run for your life" "The city walls have collapsed, how can we stop the Wu army, let's escape" Except for the Thunder Guard, the soldiers of the Wei army had not been exposed to this kind of hot weapon warfare, and they were soon frightened and fled in all directions.
"The city has been broken after all" Zhang Liao walked out of the bed in the camp tent, his eyes looked at the horrified scene, and there was a bit of bitterness in his eyes: "It's faster than I expected."
"Father, let's go, the Wu army is about to come in, I will lead the troops to protect you and return to Luoyang City."
Zhang Hu led Zhang Liao's 3,000 personal guard battalion and rushed up. t1706231537:
