In the camp of the coalition forces.

Yuan Shao and Liu Biao led the army back, and after discussing with the civil and military officials under their command, they each returned to their respective camps.

After entering the tent.

Yuan Shao asked Yan Liang and Wen Chou to guard outside the tent and waved everyone in the tent away.

"Come out!" Yuan Shao said into the air.

There wasn't much expression on his face, just a glint in his eyes.

"Hehe, I've seen Lord Yuan!"

A voice sounded, and I saw a man wearing a Taoist robe appear on the side, looking at Yuan Shao with a smile, as if he had been here all along, and it didn't appear suddenly.

I saw this man in Taoist robes appear out of thin air.

Yuan Shao wasn't too surprised, after all, it wasn't the first time he had seen him, and he said, "Yu Ji, now I have done what you said, and soon, Qin Yin will personally lead the army to arrive, but don't forget what you promised me!" ”

In the end, there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

Yu Ji was the warlock who designed to kill Sun Ce, and said that he had been killed by Sun Ce, which was all false, and Yu Ji did not die in Sun Ce's hands.

Moreover, the plan has been successful, and Sun Ce was murdered.

When Yu Ji found him, he also suddenly appeared in front of him like this, because of Yu Ji's plan, he also agreed to cooperate with him.

It's just a matter of using each other and taking what they need.

"Of course!" Yu Ji smiled indifferently, "But Lord Yuan, don't forget, this is not for myself, if I can succeed, everyone is a beneficiary, and we can all get what we want." ”

"You know, now that Qin Yin has taken Yizhou and Liangzhou, and is still sitting in Chang'an, he has a large number of soldiers and strong horses, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, can Lord Yuan be sure to resist his offensive? Needless to say, Lord Yuan can understand that Qin Yin will not be reconciled to the current situation in the original place, let alone let the princes always occupy one side and not obey orders. ”

"If it weren't for that, Lord Yuan wouldn't have cooperated with me, would he?"

Hear the words.

Yuan Shao snorted and did not speak.

He knew that what Yu Ji said was true, he was also wary of Qin Yin, and now the princes of the Central Plains occupied one side, and Qin Yin controlled the imperial court.

Although his own power is not weaker than Qin Yin's, he doesn't want to start a war with him, unless there is an opportunity.

After all, the princes in the Central Plains now, such as Liu Bei and Cao Cao, are not easy people to get along with, and if they are in a stalemate with the Qin army, it is very likely that others will have a chance to take advantage of it.

But now it's different.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei are all united with him, and as for Sun Quan in Jiangdong, at least at this time, there will be no big moves.

Bingzhou was controlled by the Xiongnu, and Youzhou was also occupied by him, and Gongsun Zan also died in the hands of Gongsun Du.

In this way, there are no scruples, and Qin Yin, who he thinks is a big trouble, can be removed, and among them, the most critical person is Yu Ji in front of him.

Without Yu Ji in it, there would be no action this time.

"Having said that, the Qin army is not so easy to deal with, and Liu Biao has reservations after all, if something happens in Jingzhou, he will definitely retreat."

"Besides, in today's battle, I think you also know that our army has a loss of more than 30,000 people in this battle, and the Qin army guarding Hangu Pass has at least more than 20,000 people.

Speaking of which.

Yuan Shao also frowned.

The strength of the Qin army also made him feel very frightened.

He didn't want to consume too many troops here, otherwise, in the face of the army led by Qin Yin himself, it would be troublesome, plus the soldiers and horses he brought, but most of the soldiers and horses in his current power were in his power.

If you lose too much, it's not a good thing.

Even if he was able to get rid of Qin Yin in the end and lose too many soldiers and horses, what chance did he have? This time he was crusading against Qin Yin, not to fight with Qin Yin and lose both, but to replace him and take Qin Yin's power.

This is also one of the reasons why he did not attack Hangu Pass with all his might, but temporarily withdrew his troops.

Hear Yuan Shao's words.

Yu Ji glanced at Yuan Shao, who was not clear about Yuan Shao's plans, and after a pause, he spoke: "I wonder if Lord Yuan is willing to give up five hundred elite soldiers?" ”

He knew that he had already arrived here, and Yuan Shao had no way to retreat, and he would not retreat easily.

But after all, they have a cooperative relationship, and they still need to consider Yuan Shao's requirements, besides, if they want to deal with Qin Yin, they still need to rely on Yuan Shao now.

Coupled with the proper performance of their own abilities, there will be no problems.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Yuan Shao's eyes flashed and asked.

"I expect that there will be heavy rain before dawn, if you take the opportunity to open the altar, you can directly take the city gate of Hangu Pass, if the city gate is broken, I think Lord Yuan wants to take Hangu Pass, it's not a problem, right?" Yu Ji said lightly.

Although there are some things that he can't do, which will damage him, there are still some things that he can do without harming himself.

After all, he was just using Yuan Shao.

"Yes!"

Hear Yu Ji's explanation.

Yuan Shao didn't hesitate and agreed.

Originally, he just wanted to test Yu Ji, but Yu Ji had a way to take down the city gate, which was a very beneficial thing for him.

Giving up 500 elite soldiers is much smaller than the loss of a forced siege.

If he could break through the city gate, the army under his command would be able to directly attack the city, and now the remaining Qin army in Hangu Pass would not be able to resist for long at all.

Although even if it is a forcible siege, it can take Hangu Pass, but there is a big difference between attacking directly from the city gate or attacking from the city wall, at least in terms of losses.

Of course.

He is still very vigilant about Yu Ji in his heart, and he doesn't trust Yu Ji, just as Liu Biao doesn't trust him, and he doesn't trust Liu Biao either.

Now they come together, it's just because they have a common goal, but the purpose is a little different.

They all have their own plans.

"In this way, Lord Yuan will arrange it first!" Yu Ji said.

After speaking.

He left directly, since he had put forward his opinion, he knew how Yuan Shao would choose, after all, with only five hundred elite soldiers, he could accomplish something that might take five thousand or more soldiers and horses to complete.

Such a choice is not unexpected.
