If the coalition wins, will others such as Li Yi and Cao Cao really have no chance at all? There is actually no doubt about this, although Li Yi has a great reputation and has made countless meritorious achievements, these things are not enough to support Li Yi and Yuan Shao to compete for the right in the court.

The support of the family is the most important thing in the struggle for power. And there is no doubt that even if Yuan Kui and others are killed by Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family is still one of the largest families in the world, and even because Yang Biao and others are now controlled by Dong Zhuo, and at the same time Yuan Shu occupies Yuzhou and Nanyang, it can be said that the Yuan family has completely got rid of that one and truly became the largest family in the world.

Well? Can't you learn from Dong Zhuo? Of course you can, but then be prepared to be the villain. After all, not everyone can be as unscrupulous as Dong Zhuo, not to mention that Li Yi's family also has Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and other loyal and patriotic old people.

Therefore, if force can no longer be used, what will Li Yi do to fight with Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu? Although it is said that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu do not like each other, if Li Yi dares to jump out, they will definitely unite to deal with Li Yi.

"I see, my subordinates understand!" Hearing Li Yi's words, Lu Bu nodded in response. Lu Bu is not a stupid person, but he is just unwilling to use his brain in many things. In fact, although Lu Bu's art of war is not very good, the art of military training is also the first person under Li Yi's command. And some things, in fact, are not difficult to understand, but when no one says it, it is just unthinkable.

"By the way, He Zigang and Gongzhi will mention it a little, so as not to let them think crankily, and take precautions, although Li Dao and others may not dare to fight with our army in the field, but they can't be unguarded." Seeing this, Li Yi nodded and said. "The only thing we have to do now is wait! Wait until Dong Zhuo and the coalition army retreat, and then seize the benefits that belong to us! ”

"No!" Lu Bu answered, and then left.

After Lu Bu left, Li Yi beckoned to Zou Qian, who had been standing silently, seeing this, Zou Qian did not hesitate, and walked directly to Li Yi's side, and then sat in his arms.

However, Li Yi did not prostitute himself during the day, but while feeling Zou Qian's wonderful body, he focused on the map spread on the table. This is a map of the surrounding areas of the state, including Sili and Jizhou.

"Calculate the time, then Yuan Shao will take Jizhou soon after retiring from the army. And if Dong Zhuo is not unexpected, he should send someone to guard the division, and he will retreat to Sanfu. In this way, when the time comes, will I compete with Dong Zhuo for Sili and Liangzhou? Or compete with Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan for Jizhou and Youzhou? Li Yi thought with some distress.

Li Yi did not avoid Zou Qian, because there was no need.

Outside the Yewang City, inside Yuan Shaojun's camp.

"Huh?! Lack of food and grass?! After Yuan Shao heard Yuan Xi's return, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Father, Marquis Li has already begun to mobilize from the state side. However, because there was a Hu rebellion in the state some time ago, and the state itself is not rich in grain, it may take a ......little longer," Yuan Xi said in a respectful voice.

"Got it." Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, then looked at Yuan Xi and said, "You go down first." ”

"No." Yuan Xi responded respectfully when he heard this, and then left.

And not long after Yuan Xi left, Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Feng Ji and Xu Yu on the side and asked, "What do you two think?" ”

"Lord, after all, Li Zikang is a disciple of Duke Zhang and Huangfu, so it is impossible to see the current situation clearly. Therefore, the subordinates thought that the lack of food was false, and the preservation of strength was true. Feng Ji said in a respectful voice.

"Hmm...... So how should it be now? Yuan Shao looked at the two and asked, "Although there is a Hangeul Festival to supply grain and grass, he also has a lot of complaints about this......

"My lord, our army just needs to wait and see what happens, and in this situation, if our army doesn't want to increase casualties, then waiting is the best choice. Come to think of it, the people over there in Yanzhou will definitely not be able to hold on sooner than us......" Xu You said with a chuckle.

"Hmm...... Let's do it......" Yuan Shao nodded and said after a deep sigh.

Li Yi and Yuan Shao did not move, which made the coalition forces blocking the revolving gate pass also have other thoughts. Although Yuan Shao, like Li Yi, used the excuse of lack of food in the army, Wang Kuang and others were able to do the county guard and assassinate history, how many of them were fools?

However, although they were angry in their hearts, they did not say it explicitly, after all, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to say it. But apparently, knowing this, they could not remain indifferent either.

"Mengde, our army has been attacking the revolving gate for many days, but we have not seen any progress at all. Why don't you temporarily retreat to Xingyang to rectify your armament? And there is indeed a shortage of grain and grass......" Wang Kuang looked at Cao Cao and said in a deep voice.

After saying a few words, he immediately got the support of Bao Xin, Liu Dai and others, especially Liu Dai, who didn't want to send troops, but was forced to come over by them.

"Alas, that's all there is to it!" Cao Cao sighed when he heard this. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to withdraw from the army, but after all, it was a coalition army, and Cao Cao was just calling for people, and others were unwilling, and he didn't have any way. Not to mention that now everyone except him wants to temporarily retire from the army. You can't let Cao Cao lead his army to attack the revolving gate, right?

And when the coalition forces retreated, Dong Zhuo in the pass immediately got the news.

"Withdrawn?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with some confusion, obviously not understanding why the coalition forces suddenly retreated.

"Yes, according to intelligence, Li Yi in Hedong and Yuan Shao in Hanoi have not moved during this time, I think it is because of this that these coalition forces in Yanzhou will retreat, right?" Li Ru smiled with a slight disdain.

"Haha! I knew it! What a bullshit coalition! Aren't they a bunch of rats who only know how to fight?! Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this.

"My lord, although the coalition forces now have their own thoughts, they can't sit back and relax until they really retreat." Li Ru reminded when he heard this, "After all, if Li Yi and Yuan Shao really don't care about casualties, I'm afraid that whether it is the Pi clan or the wild king, it will be difficult to resist them." ”

"Hmm...... Of course I know that. Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and his expression became serious again. Just how to look...... It's all just pretending to be serious, right?

Seeing this, Li Ru continued with some helplessness, "In addition, Jingzhou has been taken by Liu Biao, but he has gone to the Yuan Biao to guard Nanyang County. ”

"What?!" Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, but when he heard it, he immediately became angry.

It's just that in this regard, Li Ru responded with a smile, "Lord, you can agree to this matter." ”
