Tiger cage pass
Above Tiger Cage Pass, it wasn't as chaotic as Yuan Shao had imagined.
The tens of thousands of Western Liang soldiers were orderly defending the checkpoint.
On the tower of Tiger Cage Pass, there was a middle-aged man wearing dark red armor and a three-foot-long sword hanging at his waist.
This person was the other general of Tiger Cage Pass, Xu Rong.
"General, the hidden chess pieces in the army have been cleared.”
Just as the middle-aged man's gaze swept across the dukedom's base camp opposite Tiger Cage Pass.
A Western Liang Army general came to the middle-aged man's side and reported respectfully.
"Yes."
"All cleaned up?"
The middle-aged general, Xu Rong, said thoughtfully.
"A total of 1,636 spies have been eliminated.”
The Xi Liang Army General Fu nodded slightly.
"Yes, you may leave."
"Order the army to be on guard."
"Presumably, that duke will send troops to attack Tiger Cage Pass tonight.”
The middle-aged general, Xu Rong, pondered for a moment before instructing the Xi Liang Army's General Fu.
"Yes."
General Fu of the Western Liang Army nodded in response. Then, he turned around and left, instructing the other soldiers of the Western Liang Army.
"This fellow Hwa Xiong actually disobeyed the military counselor's orders and left the city to fight the enemy. There must be a problem now.”
The middle-aged general, Xu Rong, revealed a strange look after General Fu of the Western Liang Army left.
Originally, according to the arrangements of the Western Liang Army's military advisor, Li Ru, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong were both in the same boat.
Wen Wen and Wu were responsible for guarding Tiger Cage Pass to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Unexpectedly, Hua Xiong didn't listen to Li Ru's arrangements and went out to fight the dukes.
In the end, he was killed by Zhao Yun, forcing Xu Rong, who was hiding in the dark, to appear and command the battle.
The reason why people like Yuan Shao and the others would get the news that Tiger Cage Pass was leaderless…
It was also Xu Rong's deliberate arrangement to let Yuan Shao and the others be his spies.
After releasing the information, Yuan Shao mistakenly thought that there was no leader in Hulao Pass.
After that, Xu Rong sent people to clean up Yuan Shao and the others 'chess pieces to prevent the plan from being exposed.
Now, the plan had already been carried out, and they were just waiting for the dukes to come and die.
"Right, send someone back to Luoyang regarding the news of Hua Xiong's death.”
Xu Rong seemed to have thought of something and instructed a guard behind him.
"Yes."
"I wonder what the military counselor will do when he finds out.”
After Xu Rong made all the arrangements, he revealed a relieved expression. He looked at the dukedom's camp and revealed a solemn expression.
According to Li Ru's plan, with Hwa Xiong and Xu Rong around, they would be able to fight.
Even if the vassals attacked, Tiger Cage Pass could still block their attacks.
Unfortunately, Hwa Xiong had died in battle and he was the only one left. He could only go through the current arrangement.
They had to defend Tiger Cage Pass for as long as possible.
……
Just as Xu Rong was arranging the battle, without his knowledge...
A soldier in Western Liang Army armor watched this scene coldly.
In the evening, in a hidden place in Tiger Cage Pass, a Xi Liang soldier was sneaking around.
When he appeared, he took out a piece of secret paper from his pocket and whistled softly.
The next moment, a specially trained messenger pigeon flew over and landed on the shoulder of the Xi Liang soldier.
The Western Liang soldier skillfully rolled the secret report into a ball and placed it on the carrier pigeon's leg.
With a whistle, the messenger pigeon flew out. Taking advantage of the darkness, it flew straight towards the dukedom's camp.
When the Western Liang soldier saw the messenger pigeon fly toward the dukes 'camp, he smiled and left as if nothing had happened.
……
In the camp of the vassals, Cao Cao led the army.
Just as Cao Cao and Cao Yang were discussing, a black figure appeared.
It flew through the window of the tent and landed on Cao Yang's shoulder.
Seeing this, Cao Yang shot a look at Cao Cao and took a secret report from the messenger pigeon.
Cao Cao calmly watched Cao Yang's actions and did not move at all.
Cao Ren looked at Cao Yang and Cao Cao's actions and said thoughtfully,""The secret guards have more information."
Zhao Yun looked at Cao Yang in confusion.
"Could it be the secret guards that Cao Gong and the military advisor mentioned?”
"My lord, the secret guards have reported that Xu Rong has already taken care of the vassal's spies in Tiger Cage Pass.”
Cao Yang naturally didn't know what Zhao Yun was thinking. After reading the secret report, he said to Cao Cao.
"Did the secret guards suffer any losses?"
Cao Cao didn't have any reaction to this. Instead, he was more concerned about the situation of the hidden guards.
After all, every hidden guard had been carefully selected and trained by Cao Yang.
Even in these five years, the number of hidden guards they had accumulated was only a thousand.
These 1,000 secret guards were sent out by Cao Yang to infiltrate various forces and important checkpoints.
For example, in the Western Liang army, in Hulao Pass, and among the other dukes, there were hidden guards.
In fact, some of the hidden guards had already become generals in many forces.
It was extremely important for the future, which was why Cao Cao was more concerned about the loss of the hidden guards.
"Due to the careful actions of the secret guards, none of them were exposed, so no one was lost for the time being.”
Cao Yang smiled.
"That's good."
"Next, we'll see how Yuan Shao suffers.”
Cao Cao sneered.
"Although I don't know the situation of the hidden guards, according to what the military counselor and Cao Gong said.”
"This secret guard is really powerful."
Zhao Yun thought to herself as she watched the conversation between Cao Cao and Cao Yang.
"That Xu Rong does have some tricks up his sleeve.”
"He actually let Yuan Shao's spies spread false information before he wiped them all out.”
Cao Cao said with a solemn expression.
The harder Xu Rong was to deal with, the more difficult it would be for them to carry out their plan to conquer Tiger Cage Pass.
After all, if Tiger Cage Pass was not broken, they would not be able to attack Luoyang.
If they couldn't attack Luoyang, their plan to attack Dong would fail.
This was a bad ending for Cao Cao.
"Don't worry, my lord. Tiger Cage Pass will be broken.”
"In less than ten days, the chance to break through Tiger Cage Pass will come.”
Cao Yang's eyes flashed with wisdom when he saw this.
Cao Cao heard Cao Yang's words and his eyes flashed with calmness.
"Advisor Jun, you're still as steady as ever.”
"Victory is still in your grasp."
"To be able to obtain a military counselor, I'm really like a fish in water.”
