Chapter 135, shrunken Dong Zhuo, lack of grain and grass.
As soon as the night fell on the earth, a blazing bonfire was lit under the arrow of the Tiger Prison, and the entire Tiger Prison was taken care of clearly, and even the lines on it could be seen.
Li Ru said to Dong Zhuo with a wry smile, "Lord, I can't help this move of the allies, and it's impossible to attack at night!" β
"Hey, it seems that Zhang Ji can't help us anymore!" Dong Zhuo took a breath and said lightly, his words were full of loneliness.
"Why does the lord need to be like this, General Zhang Ji is of great use, please rest assured, as long as the underground passage of this Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass is really connected!" Li Ru smiled slightly and said confidently.
"Wait and see, I've been digging for so many days, so I should be about to get through!" Dong Zhuo looked at the camp in the distance and said softly.
In the next few days, the Tiger Prison Pass was strangely caught in a confrontation, no one wanted to take the lead in the war, Dong Zhuo and the others were still able to sit still in the Tiger Prison Pass, but everyone in the allied forces was a little unable to sit still.
"Damn, this Dong Zhuo is like a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how much he tosses it, he won't come out." A tall man said resentfully.
"General Ma, please restrain yourself! This is the council chamber, not the battlefield. Yuan Shao said to Ma Teng in a deep voice.
"No matter how aggressive we are now, Dong Zhuo is unwilling to go out, even if it is a fighting general, he will turn a blind eye, although the morale of our army is great, but it is difficult to make achievements after all!" Han Fu said to Yuan Shao a little helplessly.
"Back to the alliance leader, the army's military rations are also lacking, if you don't transport food to replenish it, I'm afraid there will be a danger of running out of food!" Guo Jia also stood up and said respectfully.
Guo Jia's words suddenly made the princes in the entire camp start to riot, they are only here to gain fame, not to bear the danger of mutiny, loyal to the country, if this food crisis is not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be a 'deserter' situation that night.
"I have heard for a long time that Jizhou and Youzhou have developed and grown, and there is a lot of money and food, I don't know if the two of them can do it?" Yuan Shao also understood the danger, and hurriedly asked Han Fu and Guo Jia.
"Alliance leader, it's not that I'm unwilling to donate grain and grass in Youzhou, but Si Li is indeed too far away from Youzhou, and I'm afraid that the grain and grass transported can only occupy half of the grain and grass when you set off from Youzhou, please think twice!" Xu Shu stood up and said without sadness or arrogance, "Besides, now that Dong Zhuo is in control of the court, there are endless thieves from all over the Han Dynasty, even if I have to send a large number of soldiers to Youzhou, so that it can be delivered to this military camp." β
"What Mr. Xu said is very true, but Shao's request is too much." Yuan Shao couldn't find the slightest fault in Xu Shu's words, so he had to nod and agree.
"Alliance leader, although I can transport grain in Jizhou, but I have no unscrupulous generals in Jizhou, I am afraid that I will also be affected by bandits on the road!" Han Fu said sadly, as if he didn't help the army and blamed himself, but his eyes were full of jealousy.
"Han Zhou Mu, you said that you don't have a good general in Jizhou?" Yuan Shao said with some doubts, "It's better to be like this, everyone has heard for a long time that the soldiers of Youzhou are brave and unparalleled, and now there is no large amount of grain and grass in the granary that needs to be guarded, why don't you write a letter to the soldiers of Youzhou and let them take the grain on their behalf, we can rest assured, right?" β
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, the princes present immediately set their eyes on Han Fu, anyway, it was not them who contributed money and food, and they didn't mind going to the well.
Han Fu could also clearly feel the gaze of the princes around him, if he had to postpone it now, I was afraid that his reputation among the people of the Han Dynasty would collapse immediately.
Han Fu lowered his head and his eyes were full of resentment, although he used to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, but now he is in power, and the situation of the Han is not clear now, and it is not impossible for him to surpass the Yuan family, these are the foundations for him to develop his own power in the future, so how can he be willing to do it...
In the end, Han Fu's reason still overcame his impulse, and I saw Han Fu take a deep breath and said, "The alliance leader is talented, he can think of such a method, but my Jizhou's grain and grass can't be supplied to the army for a long time, and I hope that the alliance leader is looking for a place to transport grain, and it can also make my Jizhou not empty and unable to settle the hundreds of officials and displaced people under it." Han Fu said with a smile.
Then Han Fu wrote a letter in front of everyone, handed it to Guo Jia and said, "Mr. Guo, this is the letter I wrote to the Jizhou guard, as long as you show them." β
"Han Zhoumu should give the alliance leader a look first, after all, the battlefield is not like playing! There have to be rules. Guo Jia said to Han Fu with deep meaning, Guo Jia had already seen that among the princes who were doing it again, only Cao Cao and Sun Jian were a little patriotic, and the rest were all people who fished for reputation, so there was a little edge in their words, and they were more sleek and cautious.
Han Fu looked at the young man in front of him, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly reacted, "I'm really old and confused, and this kind of big event naturally needs to be watched by the alliance leader." β
After Han Fu finished speaking, he respectfully placed the letter in front of Yuan Shao in front of everyone, and then returned to his position again.
Yuan Shao looked at Guo Jia, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of essence, and he also looked at the letter placed in front of him, and only after confirming that it was correct, did he let a soldier hand over the letter to Guo Jia.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Hanzhou's words are reasonable, although Jizhou is also rich within the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, but it is not enough to support the consumption of our more than 200,000 troops, I don't know if you can contribute some money and grain among your families, it is good to lend it to Shao!" Yuan Shao looked at the princes below who had returned to calm again, and said.
"This...."Suddenly there was a hesitation below, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to stand up and speak.
"The alliance leader, I still have a little grain reserves in Yanzhou, which should be able to solve the temporary plan of the army, but I am afraid that it will not last long, and I ask the alliance leader to quickly find a way to attack Luoyang to rescue Your Majesty!" A middle-aged man in a Confucian robe stood up and said.
"Liu Zhoumu, Shao is also here to thank Liu Zhoumu for the three armies!" Yuan Shao was happy when he saw that there was a big man who was willing to stand up by himself, but his face was still full of sadness.
"Alliance leader, after I am a member of the Han family, I can still afford this grain and grass for the Han Dynasty, but I don't have a general in my hands, and I hope that the alliance leader can approve me to bring some soldiers back to Yanzhou to transport grain and grass!" Liu Dai said softly.
Suddenly Yuan Shaoke became numb, once Liu Dai was let go, what if Liu Dai took the opportunity to hide in Yanzhou and not come out, but if he didn't agree, he would not only bear the title of not believing in the Han family, but no one was willing to stand up to make up for the vacancy of grain and grass.
"I believe what Liu Zhoumu said! Since Liu Zhoumu is among the clan members of the Han family, how can he ignore His Majesty in Luoyang City? But there may be a crisis in our army's food and grass at any time, and I ask Liu Zhoumu to go back quickly! Yuan Shao said respectfully to Liu Dai, but the words in his words were insidious and vicious.
"In that case, I won't be involved in the next meeting." Liu Dai nodded and said, "Meng De, you are the initiator of this alliance, and your reputation is enough, so I will hand over the Yanzhou army to you to take care of!" β
After Liu Dai finished speaking, he took out a tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao, and also wrote a letter on the seat and handed it to Cao Cao.....
"Liu Zhoumu, please rest assured, the lowly will bring the Yanzhou soldiers back!" Cao Cao took the tiger talisman and letter in his hand, his face was full of excitement, after escaping from Luoyang, he had not mastered so many soldiers for a long time, and now he held power again, how could this not make Cao Cao excited.
"Well, I believe you Mengde, everyone Dai go!" Liu Dai patted Cao Cao on the shoulder, bowed to the princes, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the tent.
"Gong to send Liu Zhoumu!" Cao Cao saluted Liu Dai's back and said loudly.
Suddenly, the big tent was full of congratulations, and Liu Dai walked out quickly like a hero who was about to die....
"Okay, since the matter of grain and grass has been resolved, then please train your soldiers well during the time when the grain and grass are delivered, and the day the grain and grass are delivered will be when we attack the tiger prison!" Yuan Shao looked around at the princes present and said seriously....
In the Youzhou camp after the meeting, Zhao Yun was gathering the soldiers brought from Youzhou to make final preparations.
"Yuan Zhi, you must be very careful when you go here, you should be able to anticipate the danger of your trip this time!" Guo Jia asked Xu Shu solemnly.
"I will pay more attention to Fengxiao, but when I think of the fourth and third princes of the Han Dynasty actually doing such a thing after that, I feel very bad in my heart." Xu Shu said with some dark ink.
"This is a dispute between their heads of the family, we are just involved in it, Yuanzhi, you just need to be on guard. Few of today's families are good to the people, so we have to help the lord rectify this troubled world and let the Han stand on top of the world, right? Guo Jia responded lightly after taking a sip of wine.
"For the sake of the lord, for the sake of the Han, for the sake of the people...."Xu Shu muttered in a low voice, "Since this big man can't help it, then let's start this troubled world with our own hands and be reborn from the fire!" β
"Phoenix Nirvana!" Guo Jia patted Xu Shu on the shoulder and whispered.
"Master Xu, the soldiers are ready! Give the order! Zhao Yun rode the white jade night lion to Xu Shu and said.
"All on board! Come with me! After Xu Shu hugged Guo Jia, he also turned over his war horse and said loudly to Zhao Yun.....
