After chatting with Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei for a while, Ma Chao retired.

After sending Ma Chao away, Gongsun Zhan asked Liu Bei: "Xuande, what do you think of Meng Qi?" ”

Liu Bei smiled faintly, "I have heard for a long time that Fufeng Ma Chaoma Meng Qi is a young hero, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" ”

In Liu Bei's view, Ma Chao is indeed worthy of the four words of a young hero, he thinks that he still has some vision, and Ma Chao is definitely a talent. In fact, he still has a sentence that he hasn't said, that is, the first emperor commented on Ma Mengqi as "the pillar of the Han Dynasty, and does not fall into the name of his ancestors", which is not bad at all.

Another point is that most people don't pay much attention to themselves when they see them. said that he had also met Dong Zhuo, who surrounded and suppressed the Yellow Turban traitors in Youzhou, and helped Dong Zhuo once, but because he was white, he was looked down upon by Dong Zhuo, and he just sent himself away with some property.

As for the others, let's take this person from the princes' alliance, among the princes from all walks of life, except for Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who were very polite to themselves, no one else looked at them seriously, and they looked down on themselves at all. Especially the Yuan Shu Yuan Highway of the Yuan family, even more so. But Ma Chao is different from others, and this is the biggest difference.

Therefore, Ma Chao's impression on Liu Bei is that he is no different from Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei feels that it feels good to be taken seriously, and then his impression of Ma Chao is naturally better. Of course, he didn't think that Ma Chao would know what he thought in his heart, but he just thought that Ma Chao would be a man. And although he is young, he knows how to interact with others, which makes people feel comfortable.

Of course, Ma Chao didn't know that Liu Bei had a high opinion of him, and if he wanted to know Lu Dao, he would probably be very happy, after all, Liu Bei's vision is still very accurate, although it is different from Jia Xu, but his eyesight is also excellent.

Ma Chao didn't go back to him directly, but went to find Jia Xu, Jia Xu saw that it was his father-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Is there something wrong with the lord-in-law coming to find Xu?" ”

Ma Chaoxin said, Jia Xu, you old fox, if I don't come to you, can you still come to me? Usually when I don't ask you anything, you're not much different from a dumb person, so of course I have to find you and ask you about something, and then you can say, right?

"It's just passing by, but by the way, I asked Mr., I don't know if Mr. thinks our army can destroy Dong Zhongying?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, but he didn't directly answer Ma Chao's question, but looked at the direction of Yuan Shao's Zhongjun tent in the distance and said: "'Brothers work together, and their profits are gold'!" ”

Although Jia Xu didn't answer positively, Ma Chao understood that Jia Xu's meaning was very simple, if the princes of the Eighteenth Route could unite as one, even if they couldn't destroy Dong Zhuo, how could they make Dong Zhuo not be able to jump up. Dong Zhuo's troops are 400,000, and although the alliance army of the princes is not as good as his men, there are more than 300,000, but may they all unite and use all their strength?

"Sir, I wonder when we will be able to enter this water gate now?"

Although Sun Jian lost the first battle, Yuan Shao asked him to make up for his mistakes and did not change the vanguard. In fact, if Ma Chao meant that he was the leader of the alliance, he would directly lead the army to the bottom of Bishui Pass, and then start a death battle with Dong Zhuojun, wouldn't this still be able to take the next Bishui Pass? But Yuan Shao, and even many people don't have this idea, so they all want Sun Jian to fight against Huaxiong alone.

Jia Xu looked in the direction of Bishui Pass again, although he couldn't see it, but the direction was correct, and he said to Ma Chao: "Whether it's Zhao Cen or Hua Xiong, it's no accident, they are not Sun Wentai's opponents!" It can be as little as one or two days, or as many as ten days! ”

Ma Chaoxin said, what is the difference between saying this and not saying it? I can say this myself, Jia Xu, this old fox. In fact, Ma Chao misunderstood Jia Xu, after all, who knows what will happen to this matter, so how many days are actually possible, and there is no accurate time.

This time, Ma Chao didn't want to say more, so he returned directly to his own big tent and ignored Jia Xu. And Jia Xu looked at the back of his lord, shook his head and smiled.

On the second day, Sun Jian didn't move at all, and the day passed like this.

On the third day, Sun Jian still didn't move at all, and this day passed like this.

On the fourth day, Sun Jian still didn't move, and this day didn't pass like this, because there were already rumors at this time that Sun Wentai, the "Jiangdong Tiger", had been completely frightened by Kansai Huaxiong. Of course, I don't know who spread this word, but it is widely spread among the princes' coalition army anyway. Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance in the last place, really couldn't sit still, although he couldn't find out where the rumors came from, but after all, he was the leader of the alliance, and now in front of the princes of the people, it was always okay to ask him Sun Wentai.

So Yuan Shao summoned everyone, of course, Sun Jian also arrived, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, asked people to find him by name, and after everyone arrived at the Chinese army tent and sat down, Yuan Shao said to everyone: "Everyone has heard the rumors, and now I have gathered everyone here, Shao just wants to ask Wentai, what do you think." Although Shao does not believe in the rumors in the army, he has to say that now this matter has affected the morale of our army, so Shao has to ask so! ”

Sun Jian secretly scolded in his heart at this time, where did this rumor come from, Hua Xiong? It's impossible, although the place where the princes are stationed is also considered to be within the scope of Bishui Pass, but the distance is not close, and Huaxiong has the ability to do this? If it is not the enemy army, it can only be his own people, as soon as he thought of this, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh, now that it is the enemy, it should have been the time for everyone to unite and work together with the outside world, but he didn't expect this. And I haven't offended anyone, but some people don't want to be good for themselves.

"People are harmless to the tiger's heart, and the tiger is hurtful", don't let yourself catch that rumor-monger, or you won't be able to spare him! But now that it's like this, Sun Jian saw that Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance, was asking himself like this, so if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to explain it to everyone. Besides, he was rude in the first battle, and the alliance leader did not blame himself, but let himself make up for his mistakes, and no matter how he said this, he had to give face to the alliance leader.

Sun Jian came out of the queue and said to everyone: "Alliance leader, everyone, you all know that my Sun is a person, how can you be afraid of him Huaxiong because of a defeat?" Two days ago, the reason why Sun didn't play was just because his subordinates gave me an idea, and I thought it was good, so I adopted it, but I didn't tell you! ”

"Let's just say, Sun Wentai is a 'Jiangdong Tiger', how can he be afraid of him Kansai Huaxiong!"

"Not bad, not bad! Wentai is brave, how can he not be compared to Huaxiong? ”

"Of course, 'how can the pearl of rice compete with the bright moon', hahaha, ridiculous!"

……

Seeing this, Yuan Shao stretched out his right hand and pressed it slightly, signaling everyone to stop, and after seeing that everyone was quiet, he asked: "I don't know what the idea of Wentai's subordinates is, can you tell me about it?" ”

Sun Jian naturally didn't hide anything at this time, "Of course, it's just that he didn't have time to say it before, and now that the alliance leader has asked here, he naturally can't help but say it, in fact, it's simple, it's ......"

Sun Jian told him what Cheng Pu told him, and he told everyone about it. As a result, when everyone heard it, it was not bad, at least it should be enough to deal with a few Huaxiong.

Yuan Shao smiled and patted the long case: "Okay, since Wentai has such an idea, then he must be able to succeed by then!" ”

"Ha Luha, thank you Alliance Leader, please rest assured!"

If you want to say that everyone else is basically happy, but there is one exception, that is Yuan Shu Yuan Road.

In fact, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian didn't have any festive with each other, let alone any hatred. But in the past few days, Yuan Shu has been holding his breath because of Yuan Shao's alliance leader, and he has nowhere to go, so Sun Jian has been unlucky. Because he lost the first battle, but he was not punished by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao comforted Sun Jian a few words later, and asked him to make up for his mistakes.

And from that time on, Yuan Shu began to look at Sun Jian unpleasantly. Because in his opinion, the grain and grass consumed by the princes' alliance every day are innumerable, although they are not taken out of his Nanyang County, but he is now the governor of grain and grass, and he is distressed to see so much grain and grass disappear from his hands every day. Of course, he Yuan Shu is not a thrifty person, but he has long regarded the grain and grass transported by Han Fu and Kong Ling as his own, so watching the large consumption of his own grain and grass every day, Yuan Shu is of course dripping blood in his heart.

As a result, Sun Jian actually avoided fighting without fighting, this is a waste of grain and grass, and it is a major event that delays the whole army. So Yuan Shu was angry at that time, and then he sent his henchmen to disguise it, and then spread rumors throughout the army, what he meant was to let Sun Jian send troops quickly, or let Yuan Shao change the vanguard. This is what Yuan Shu meant, but he didn't expect the final result, everyone was still on his side Sun Jian, and they all listened to him Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu also knew that it was useless to say anything, so he was so angry that he returned to his big tent.

After returning to the big tent, Yuan Shu kicked whatever he saw, picked up and threw away when he saw something, and muttered something, at this time a person came behind him and said to him: "I don't know what the lord is worried about, and his subordinates can plan for the lord!" ”

Yuan Shu saw that his advisor was coming, and it was not good to lose his temper like this, after all, as the lord, in front of his subordinates, he still had to maintain a good image. And now I happen to have something to ask the strategist to come up with some ideas, and the strategist's advice may not be the most effective in the end.

After sitting down, Yuan Shu asked: "Yuan Benchu let Sun Wentai be the vanguard and attack the Bishui Pass, I don't know when Mr. thinks Sun Wentai will be able to capture this pass?" ”

The advisor under his account smiled: "Doesn't the lord expect him Sun Wentai to capture this Bishui Pass?" ”

This, as soon as Yuan Shu heard it, what's going on, don't I expect him Sun Jian to capture Bishui Pass? I'm looking forward to it too much, and it's good that everyone can consume less grain and grass if they march early.

"I don't know what Mr. means?"

"Lord, please listen to the words of your subordinates, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai of Wujun are 'Jiangdong Tigers'! If it is obtained, it cannot be copied, this is to get rid of the wolf and get the tiger! The lord must not be guarded against! ”

As the saying goes, "If you're not afraid of no good things, you're afraid of no good people", Yuan Shu's strategist looks like he's thinking about his lord, but in fact he is a dog-headed military advisor, and Yuan Shu doesn't know what to do, so he thinks the other party is doing it.

When Yuan Shu heard it, this made sense, it made sense. He, Sun Wentai, captured Bishui Pass, and he must have entered Luoyang immediately, and then everyone else had to be one step late. Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that he Sun Jian was the first to arrive in Luoyang, so where will his face go. I brought so many soldiers this time, and I have to manage so much grain and grass every day, not to mention that I have a great merit, but how can I also work hard, but he Sun Jian is the first to pass to Luoyang, he has made great contributions and obtained great benefits. But as for himself, he estimated that he couldn't get anything after the end, but he lost face.

No, absolutely not! He must not let Sun Wentai take the Bishui Pass, so Yuan Shu hurriedly gathered everyone today, and then what Sun Jian said was told to his own dog-headed military advisor, and the dog-headed military advisor smiled after hearing it, "Lord, this matter is easy to hear, but I don't know if the lord dares to do it?" ”

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart that it was time for him to dare not do anything. Besides, no matter what it is, as long as you handle it properly, no one should know that you did it.
