Chapter 6 Jiangdong Tigers

"Originally, why did you withdraw from the army!?" In the tent of the coalition army, Cao Cao glared angrily at Yuan Shao. The princes of the coalition army have different hearts, including Yuan Shao, which Cao Cao knows very well. But he never thought that Yuan Shao would choose to retreat when the army of more than 100,000 people had already attacked outside the Tiger Prison Pass and was only one step away from success. Even if Yuan Shao doesn't think about the Han family, this is also a great opportunity to make contributions and make a name for himself, is Yuan Shao indifferent to this?

"Meng De......" Yuan Shao himself was also a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look directly into Cao Cao's eyes, and said in a slurred manner, "You also know that the Tiger Prison Pass can be called the first male pass of my Han Dynasty. Although our army is numerous, the number of Dong Zhuo's army is also quite large, if we forcibly attack the fortification, even if the pass is broken, our army of more than 100,000 people may also be killed and wounded. ”

Cao Cao was completely disappointed, he didn't expect that his childhood friend would grow up to be so useless. Yes, Cao Cao has always thought that he is richer and more talented than Yuan Shao, but he never expected Yuan Shao to be so bad.

"Yuan Highway! You come out for me! Just as Cao Cao was still about to say his blame, a roar like a thunderbolt suddenly came from outside the tent.

I saw a big man with a length of more than eight feet, a burly face, and a heroic aura exuding a heroic spirit all over his body, stepping into the military tent with his head held high, followed by three generals with good appearances. Needless to say, the leader is naturally Sun Jian, and behind him are Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang.

Sun Jian asked for the order to face Hua Xiong this time, originally he was full of ambition and planned to make a good contribution, and the battle situation was as smooth as he originally expected. Seeing that Hua Xiong's army was about to be crippled by himself, he never thought that at this time, Yuan Shu, who was in charge of the grain and grass of the coalition army, would drop the chain and pull his hind legs, and did not give himself a grain of grain for several days, causing the army's morale to fluctuate, and finally Hua Xiong saw the flaw and seized the opportunity to attack the camp at night and won a big victory. Sun Jian's henchman Zu Mao, in order to cover Sun Jian's escape, used his body as bait to attract Hua Xiong's attention, and was tragically killed, which made Sun Jian hateful.

For Yuan Shu, the initiator of such a result, Sun Jian naturally hated it to the bottom of his heart. Sun Jian has been trying to find Yuan Shu accountable these days, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still resisted this impulse. Today, when the coalition forces withdrew from the Tiger Pass, Commander Zhu Zhi analyzed Sun Jian that Yuan Shao was suspicious and less decisive, and that the great opportunity to conquer the Tiger Pass was in front of him, but he did not know how to cherish it, and the coalition forces must be disbanded soon. Sun Jian felt justified after hearing the words and thinking about it, anyway, the coalition army could not achieve a big thing, so why should he have scruples in his heart, so he immediately took the three generals under him to ask Yuan Shu for his guilt.

"Dong Zhuo and I have no enmity, but now I raise 30,000 elite soldiers to obey the orders of the alliance leader, and fight to the death with Huaxiong in front of Surabaya Pass, not to support the country's social welfare, and to correspond to the righteousness of the world! But you have not been able to send me food and grass for a long time, and even when I have sent messengers to ask for food, you have turned a blind eye. Yuan Highway, what is your intention!? Yuan Shucai walked out slowly, and Sun Jian pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded.

Just as Yuan Shao was weak in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu was also weak in the face of Sun Jian. Although he was very angry that Sun Jian shook this matter out in front of many princes and shouted at him, there was nothing else he could do. Sun Jian's temper is well understood, although he is not lacking in resourcefulness, but if he is really impulsive, he is absolutely reckless. This time, he pushed Sun Jian too much, in case he really turned his face with himself in public here, it was himself who suffered. At this moment, Yuan Shu could only accompany Sun Jian with a smile on his face and said: "Wentai is angry, blame me for believing the traitor's words, causing you to suffer this defeat." I immediately went to behead the person who spoke up, and I hoped that Wentai would forgive me. ”

With that, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the soldiers around him to behead the man and present his head to Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian saw it, although he still felt angry in his heart, it was not easy to attack. Yuan Shu pushed the responsibility cleanly, and killed the "culprit" "without favoritism", so what excuse did he find to make trouble? What's more, the leader of the alliance here is still Yuan Shu's elder brother, although the relationship between the brothers is not very close, but it is difficult to guarantee that Yuan Shao will not favor Yuan Shu, and he will be in an embarrassing situation at that time. Therefore, Sun Jian didn't say anything more, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

And after Cao Cao watched the whole process from the sidelines, he could only sigh helplessly. This anti-Dong alliance seems to be really not far from dissolution.

————————————————————————————————

It is said that although the coalition forces have no intention of attacking the Tiger Pass, Dong Zhuo is still trembling. After summoning Li Rulu to discuss, it was decided to move the capital from Luoyang to Chang'an to avoid the attack of the Kwantung princes. So that night, Dong Zhuo led the army of Tiger Prison Pass back to Luoyang, and then took the Son of Heaven and hundreds of civil and military officials to Chang'an, and all those who opposed the relocation of the capital were regarded as Yuan Shao's comrades and killed. Before leaving, Dong Zhuo ordered his soldiers to dig up the imperial tomb and set fire to the palace, but after the fire spread, it could not be controlled at all, and soon the entire Luoyang City fell into a sea of fire. I saw the flames soaring into the sky, illuminating the dark night sky extremely brightly. The imperial capital of Luoyang became a hell on earth in an instant, with countless people running and shouting, and scorched bones emitting a foul smell could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

"Dong thief! How dare so! Although Yuan Shao and the others had no intention of fighting Dong Zhuo in order to preserve their strength, when they saw the fire raging in the direction of Luoyang, they all changed color one by one. Even the Kwantung Coalition troops stationed outside the Tiger Prison Pass could clearly see the fire in Luoyang City, which showed how fierce the fire had been. I'm afraid that even if they rush to Luoyang City now, what will be left for Yuan Shao will only be a ruined wall.

"Quick! March to Luoyang! "Since Dong Zhuo can ruthlessly burn Luoyang, it means that he must have abandoned Luoyang City and fled to other places. Yuan Shao was still angry at Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang City at first, but after thinking about it, as long as he led his troops into Luoyang City, then the great credit for forcing Dong Zhuo away would fall on his head, and this Kwantung Coalition Army could be regarded as a great success, and everyone was happy.

Although Yuan Shao did not reveal the secret joy in his heart on the surface, Cao Cao, who had a deep relationship with him, only glanced at Yuan Shao's expression at this time, and had a general understanding of his thoughts at this time.

"It's really hopeless." Cao Cao didn't know how many times he had expressed such a feeling in his heart. If he could have struggled to win the Tiger Prison Pass, why would Luoyang City suffer such a catastrophe? Now that Luoyang has become a dilapidated empty city, Yuan Shaocai became interested in raising troops into the city, and regarded this as an immortal achievement, which was really stubborn and ignorant. This time the coalition army launched a large-scale attack, what achievements did it achieve other than killing a Huaxiong and indirectly causing Luoyang City to be burned? Dong Thief is still rampant and tyrannical, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials are still firmly controlled by Dong Thief, and the situation has not changed much.
