Chapter 398: Allied Forces

"Let go of my lord!" Ji Ling hurriedly shouted, wanting to come forward to rescue, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Brother Yuanyang, everyone is their own person, why bother to make a big fuss." Seeing this tense situation, Cao Cao had no choice but to come out as a lobbyist.

However, Yuan Shu was really completely speechless, and it was just a matter of forcing the child to make trouble, but he also provoked Zhou Fan, a bad star, this is not looking for death or something.

"Champion Hou, what do you have to say?"

"yes, let's put down the weapon first."

The rest of the princes also hurriedly persuaded them.

"Brother Yuanyang, for my sake, forget it." As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao had no choice but to stand up.

"That's it! Forget it this time, if there is a next time, don't blame me Zhou Fan for not giving you face. Zhou Fan naturally didn't want to kill Yuan Shu like that, but now that someone has given him steps, he will take advantage of the situation.

Seeing Zhou Fan retract the Tiger Head Pan Dragon Halberd, Yuan Shu gasped for breath, the pressure that Zhou Fan gave him this time was too great, so big that he had some difficulty breathing.

"As soon as Champion Hou arrives today, he has made such a great contribution to my ally, and he should celebrate it." Yuan Shao laughed and pulled over the unpleasant topic just now.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" The rest of the crowd also echoed in unison.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhou Fan replied with a smile.

"The army returns to camp." With Yuan Shao's order, the army returned to the allied camp with continuous cheers, leaving only Yuan Shu's resentful gaze.

The Allied camp, at this moment, the camp is full of singing and dancing, killing pigs and sheep and celebrating vigorously.

Originally, when he met Na Lu Bu, almost everyone thought that they would lose first, and those who were demoralized could do it. However, I didn't expect to kill a champion Hou halfway, not only defeated Na Lu Bu, but also won a small victory, capturing the opponent's general, how could such a big event not be celebrated.

In the tent of the allies, all the princes plus Zhou Fan attended this celebration banquet. And Zhou Yu and Dian Wei also followed Zhou Fan's side.

However, Yuan Shu did not hesitate to say that he was sick and missed this celebration banquet. was so humiliated by that Zhou Fan before. He still has a fire in his heart, and he can't wait to break him to pieces. How could he be willing to sit with Zhou Fan again?

And the rest of the princes didn't care, and many of them didn't have a good impression of Yuan Shu, and now he doesn't come. That's out of sight.

"Come, Champion Hou has made such a great contribution to my ally, let's first salute Champion Hou a cup" Yuan Shao raised his glass and said loudly.

Zhou Fan was not pretentious, and as the princes were just a glass of wine, he said: "I just happened to have it." Compared with Yuan Mengzhu leading the allied forces to take the Bishui Pass, I don't want to mention these small things. ”

Yuan Shao's eyebrows jumped, and he asked tentatively: "Why doesn't Champion Hou plan to join our ally?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Fan couldn't help but smile, glanced at Yuan Shao with deep meaning, and asked rhetorically: "Did you want me to join the alliance at the beginning?" ”

Zhou Fan didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking, testing whether he wanted to join the alliance, wasn't he worried about his position as the leader of the alliance.

Previously, when they only had the princes of the Eighteen Roads, they elected alliance leaders to each other, so naturally he Yuan Shao naturally refused to let them.

But if this week sails join in. That's not easy to say, in terms of reputation, although he Yuan Shao is the fourth and third duke, Zhou Fan's reputation over the years is not weak, and he can't have an advantage at all.

In terms of strength, it is needless to say, the name of Zhou Fan's champion Hou is not fake, and his achievements over the years are not comparable to his Yuan Shao.

Although Zhou Fan only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, and he Yuan Shao had 100,000 soldiers and horses, he really wanted to fight. He Yuan Shao really didn't have any confidence at all.

He had seen the combat strength of Zhou Fan's army before, especially the tiger horseman, although there were only five hundred people. But in real terms, it is not worse than an army of 50,000, especially in the face of cavalry, it is simply a complete abuse, in front of them, there are a few soldiers who can muster up the courage to fight.

There is no doubt about it. If Zhou Fan joins the alliance and has the intention to compete for the position of alliance leader, then it is really unknown who will win and who will lose.

However, Zhou Fan didn't care about this, he never planned to join this alliance, otherwise he wouldn't have delayed coming to the Tiger Prison until now.

Belch! Yuan Shao was instantly dumbfounded, looking at Zhou Fan with some embarrassment, speechless for a while.

"This heaven and earth have been worshipped, if you worship again, it will inevitably be a little disrespectful, and there is only one grievance here." Cao Cao said with a smile.

He could see at a glance that Zhou Fan had no intention of joining their alliance, and Yuan Shao did not want Zhou Fan to join the alliance, which would inevitably embarrass the two, and he was the only one to relieve the siege.

"That's what Meng De said." Yuan Shao also beat the snake and put the stick, with Cao Cao's words.

Zhou Fan smiled and didn't speak, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"I heard Meng De say that he sent Yiwen to Yizhou early in the morning, why did the champion Hou arrive now? Could it really be that something happened on the road? Kong Rong asked with some curiosity.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Fan, and their eyes were full of suspicion.

Although Zhou Fan defeated Lu Bu, I have to say that it was too coincidental that he came, as if he arrived at this time on purpose, which inevitably made people a little suspicious, suspecting that Zhou Fan wanted to wait until they were both defeated, and then come to the fisherman to profit.

"I was really said by Kong Beihai, I got a letter from Brother Meng De, so I immediately set up troops and came to the sour date, but this trip really encountered some troubles, which delayed time." Zhou Fan said.

Hearing this, all the princes were shocked in their hearts, glanced at each other, and finally asked Na Kong Rong: "What's the trouble." ”

"When I got Meng De's letter, I was so anxious that I couldn't wait to come to Luoyang as fast as possible to rescue Your Majesty. Therefore, I went directly from Chengdu to Hanzhong and took the Chang'an Valley Road to Luoyang. I didn't know that the Dong thief had set up heavy guards in Chang'an and Hangu Pass early, and our army was blocked in a hurry, so it delayed time. Zhou Fan sighed.

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but look at each other, they didn't expect that Zhou Fan's so-called obstacle was actually with Dong Zhuo's army.

From Chengdu to Luoyang, there are only two roads.

The first is to enter Jingzhou from Hanzhong, and then divert to Yanzhou, Yuzhou to enter Sili, but there is no doubt that this road needs to be detoured, so it is also relatively far.

As for the second one, it is to enter the customs directly from Hanzhong and take the valley road into Luoyang, this road is definitely the closest, but it is also the most dangerous, because there is Dong Zhuo's heavy guard.

However, Zhou Fan chose the most dangerous path that day, and I don't know if he was stupid or bold. (To be continued.) )
