Chapter 303: Half of the Grain and Grass
"Fengxiao, you should be bold and let go, everything is in charge for you, and I will help you support you behind your back, and do it properly." Cheng Yuanzhi stood on the wall of Bishui Pass, blowing the cool breeze of the mountain stream, invisibly, there is a kind of heroism that swallows thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and sits on the power of the world, this self-confidence also infected Guo Jia, making Guo Jia feel invigorated and confident.
Three days later, the news was transmitted from the Pegasus of Bishui Pass and sent to all the people. The content of Cheng Yuanzhi's letter to all the candidates is very simple, with only one sentence:
"The door is wide open, and all Dong can borrow the way, and the army passes, leaving only half of the grain and grass."
Cheng Yuanzhi knew that all the candidates were human spirits, and if he didn't mention any requirements, and unconditionally lent them to the aisles of all the candidates, those candidates would definitely think about it more, thinking that Cheng Yuanzhi was designing to trap them. Only when the lion opens his mouth widely, will all the candidates feel that Cheng Yuanzhi has lost his mind and is crazy and wants to eat a mouth full of fat from the hands of all the candidates, and feast on a feast.
Sure enough, when all the candidates saw Cheng Yuanzhi's flying letter, they all thought about it in their hearts, as for the face of a villain like Cheng Yuanzhi asking for money and food, all the candidates skipped it one after another, just a little grain and grass, and when they won Dong Zhuo, are they afraid that they will have no money and grain and grass? Of course, if you can't take Dong Zhuo, it's useless to keep the grain and grass, and Dong Zhuo will definitely be cheapened for nothing, so it's better to take advantage of the Bishui Pass and temporarily store it with Cheng Yuanzhi first.
When it fails, maybe for the sake of the same army to please Dong, he can borrow some grain and grass from Cheng Yuanzhi, as for success, then the candidates can laugh at Cheng Yuanzhi's stupidity, guarding the Bishui Pass, and not waving his troops to take Dong Zhuo directly, but giving up this great opportunity to all the candidates, it is simply unwise and resourceless.
A piece of paper sent a message, many of the candidates who originally wanted to go back to their homes were alive again, this is to please Dong, the Tiger Prison Pass can't be defeated, then bypass the Tiger Prison Pass, after all, attacking the capital Luoyang, then a large number of ill-intentioned people in Luoyang City will definitely start to do things, and if they want to bring down Dong Zhuo, the odds are greater.
So, all the candidates regained their strength and opened all the way to Bishui, although it was not as vast as the previous eighteen road candidates, but there were also close to the ten road candidates to continue the journey of Dong Dong.
In just one day, Bishui Pass ushered in the first road of the candidates, but it was Sun Jian, who was too guarded by Jingzhou and Changsha, and the Jiangdong Tiger who had been defeated and fought repeatedly.
Sun Jian and Cheng Yuanzhi had cooperated once before, Cheng Yuanzhi still gave Sun Jian a lot of face, and when he saw Sun Jian's soldiers and horses coming to Bishui Pass, without saying a word, he let Bishui Pass open the gate and took Sun Jian's army into Bishui Pass.
"Sikong, half of the grain and grass is too ruthless, Ben Taishou has the heart to please Dong, and I hope Sikong will make it convenient, this grain and grass matter, Ben Taishou will just look at it, right?" As soon as Sun Jian saw Cheng Yuanzhi, he immediately began to plead, hoping that Cheng Yuanzhi would not charge Sun Jian's tolls, and that saving grain and grass was a little bit, and Sun Jian was not as rich as other candidates.
"Wentai, what are you talking about, what kind of friendship does this Sikong have with you, don't you know? Which of us is talking to whom, talking about food and grass is too foreign, so don't mention it. Ben Sikong knows that the grain and grass in the Wentai army may be in short supply, what a big deal, Wentai and rest assured, this Bishui Pass, your army will pass first, it's okay, this Sikong is in charge, this half of the grain and grass will be owed on credit first, and when Wentai triumphs, or return to Jiangdong in the future, it is not too late to return it to Ben Sikong. ”
Cheng Yuanzhi saw Sun Jian's more and more frustrated and brave appearance, and couldn't help but admire Sun Jian a little in his heart, but the greater Sun Jian's ability, the more Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't raise tigers for trouble, and help the abuse.
Sun Jian's face was bitter, before in the Tiger Prison Pass, the army of candidates had already suffered a big loss from Dong Zhuo, and everyone was greatly injured, this Cheng Yuanzhi also wanted to make a fortune from all walks of life, it must not be for personnel, but it was Cheng Yuanzhi's who couldn't stand the Bishui Pass, and the soldiers and horses under his command wanted to go over from the Bishui Pass and take the capital Luoyang, and Cheng Yuanzhi really opened the door of convenience.
Otherwise, you will have to go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and there is no other way. It's okay here at Bishui Pass, if you can do it with money and food, then it's not a problem, when you get to the Tiger Prison Pass guarded by Niu Fu, Niu Fu doesn't recognize your money and food, maybe you can send troops directly, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will come out and destroy the army of Zhuhou who came to knock on the pass.
Sun Jian also knew that Cheng Yuanzhi didn't care much about Sun Jian's grain and grass, after all, Sun Jian didn't have many soldiers and horses, and after several wars, there were less than 1,000 soldiers and horses left, and half of the grain and grass was converted, which was not much, but Cheng Yuanzhi was unwilling to open this opening, and it was also a party to the candidates, so he exempted Sun Jian's grain and grass, and when the other candidates came, but they wanted to collect the grain and grass, it would be unfair, and even a little contemptuous.
Jiangdong Tigers, you don't charge tolls, are you afraid of Sun Jian? But he is not afraid of other candidates, it is clear that he does not give face, especially the soldiers and horses of other candidates are far behind Sun Jian, maybe he will lose the face of other candidates, one is angry, and he will fight directly to Bishui Pass, then Cheng Yuanzhi will lose more than he gains.
Therefore, no one will use it if they plead, and they will have to pay this money and food, and they will not be exempt if they don't pay. Even if you put it away and give it back to the candidates who came to Bishui Pass, you can still get a favor.
Sun Jian stupidly threw half of the grain and grass at Bishui Pass, did not stay too long, and did not wait for the other candidates to converge, directly pulled the soldiers and horses to the capital Luoyang, and hurriedly attacked the capital Luoyang. Sun Jian knew that Dong Zhuo must still have soldiers and horses under his hands, but there were only so many 200,000 Xiliang iron horses, and if he fought a little less, he would not have to add more.
Sun Jian must fire the first shot, in this way, the other waiters will rush over, and when they see the big scene of the melee, they will definitely put the soldiers and horses in charge and slowly consume Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses. Sun Jian believed that once Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was reduced to only 100,000, or even 150,000, Dong Zhuo would be timid, and maybe he would start to find a way out.
Sun Jian doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but he can still do it to disrupt Dong Zhuo's rhythm, after all, a thousand soldiers and horses are really going to run out, Sun Jian and his four generals will flee back to Bishui Pass, temporarily living under Cheng Yuanzhi's command, presumably Cheng Yuanzhi will not embarrass Sun Jian.
As soon as Sun Jian left, Bishui Pass failed to regain calm, and soon ushered in the second army of Zhuhou.
The reason why Cao Cao was in the Tiger Prison was sharp-eyed and hand-sick, as soon as Yuan Shao retreated, Cao Cao immediately slipped away with the army, although Niu Fu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was extremely powerful and came very fast, but Cao Cao's army really didn't have much damage.
