Chapter 414 is heart-wrenching
When they heard Liu Yan say the above words, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's faces became extremely ugly at that time.
Although they knew that what Liu Yan said was right, their nature of dying to save face and suffer guilt made them unacceptable.
At that time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were about to rush up to reason with Liu Yan, and when they saw that the two of them were taking the lead, Liu Dai, who was a relative of the Han family, actually joined in.
There was Zhang Lu on the side, and the smell of gunpowder between the coalition forces became extremely strong for a while.
At this time, as long as there is a slight spark, it is very likely that there will be a fire fight between the coalition forces.
This can make Liu Bei and Cao Cao anxious, as the two calmest among the princes at this time, they know that they must not let things continue to develop.
Once there is a war between the coalition forces, then in the end it can only be Liu Yuan of Jizhou who will benefit.
And once Liu Yuan seizes the opportunity, he may have to destroy several of their princes.
Now there are not many princes in the entire Han Dynasty who can still gather together.
Liu Yuan didn't have to destroy too much this time, as long as he could destroy two or three princes, then they would have to sit and wait for death in the future!
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army is too strong, and it is definitely not something that one or two of their princes can fight against.
Only when everyone unites can they have the capital to confront Jizhou.
Therefore, at this time, the alliance of princes must not be chaotic!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao and Liu Bei chose to become peacemakers at the same time, and began to separate to persuade the two sides who were having a dispute.
The actions of the two of them woke up the strategists who had been stunned, and as the brains of the major forces, they certainly saw things more clearly than ordinary people.
What Liu Bei and Cao Cao could think of, how could they not think of it!
As soon as he thought of the terrible fate of the alliance of princes and the disintegration, many strategists rushed in at the risk of being punished by their own lords.
With the hard persuasion of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and many strategists, the two sides of the dispute slowly suppressed their anger.
This made Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Yan and the others, who gradually calmed down, also thought of the serious consequences just now.
At this time, they are facing annihilation at any time, but not only do they not think about how to fight against a strong enemy, but they also have to fight in the nest, which is simply looking for death!
Thinking of this, the princes who had just had a dispute couldn't help but blush.
But these people are some old fritters, and they will never let others see their emotions easily.
However, there was one of the princes' emotions, but unlike the other princes, he first glared at Liu Bei's Cao Cao with great resentment, and then continued to lament in his heart:
"What a good opportunity just now, as long as Liu Yan provokes the old thief again, maybe he will be able to turn his face directly with the Yuan brothers at that time. As long as the Yuan brothers become the opponents of Liu Yan's old thief, then the good days of this sect leader in the future will come! These two eventful bastards are just dogs and rats! ”
The only one who can think like this is Zhang Lu, mainly because he has not had any contact with the Jizhou Army!
Although his cavalry was also wiped out by the Jizhou cavalry this morning, he always believed that this was because of Zhang Ren's rash advance.
Therefore, he did not regard Liu Yuan as his great enemy.
The reason why he was able to come to support the coalition forces with Liu Yan this time was also because Liu Yan said that as long as he came, the war would be stopped, so Zhang Lu would come with men and horses.
From beginning to end, in his heart, only Liu Yan was his enemy of life and death.
Now that an opportunity to defeat the abyss is gone, how can Zhang Lu's mood be better!
However, Zhang Lu is not a good-for-nothing fool, even if he wants to set Liu Yan and the princes against each other, he will not provoke again now.
In that case, his appearance will be too ugly, and if he is not careful, he will arouse the suspicion of other princes, and he may steal chickens and rice.
But if he let Liu Yan go like this, it would be absolutely impossible!
Since other princes are willing to fight with Liu Yan into jade silk, then he has to make Liu Yan's flesh hurt.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lu made a generous appearance, he took the first step to come to all the princes, first arched his hand at the rest of the princes, and then opened his mouth and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what Qingzhou Mu and Xuzhou Mu said is reasonable. Our biggest enemy now is Liu Yuan, not all of you here. So let's work together, it's the best policy. However, this time it is said that there are a thousand things and ten thousand, and Zhang Ren under the command of Junlang Gong is indeed an unforgivable crime. According to this Taishou watch, the princes don't have to embarrass the prince Langgong, we just need to get rid of the first evil! ”
When they heard Zhang Lu say this, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao immediately echoed it.
Coupled with Liu Dai who was beating the side drum on the side, for a while, the entire coalition army was calling for Zhang Ren to be killed.
Liu Yan, who was standing on the left behind Zhang Lu, glared at Zhang Lu viciously.
Of course, he understood that Zhang Lu was taking the opportunity to weaken his strength, but this time this bastard was in vain.
He saw all of Zhang Ren's performance just now, and he had long decided that Zhang Ren had been abolished.
Since Zhang Ren is now a wasted person, there is no need for him to offend people at all.
Liu Yan didn't even look at Zhang Lu standing in front of him, and raised his foot to block Zhang Lu directly behind him.
He first raised his mobile phone to signal the surroundings to be quiet, and when all the people around him were quiet, Liu Yan said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time it is indeed Yan's subordinate Zhang Ren who violated military orders and underestimated the enemy! We will not tolerate such mistakes! Now Ben Hou has ordered Zhang Ren to be beheaded, and the military law will be corrected! Come on, take Zhang Ren down! ”
With Liu Yan's words, several executioners who had been waiting for a long time walked up.
After they took over Zhang Ren who was tied into zongzi from Zhang Lu's men, they escorted Zhang Ren to the court.
At this moment, a general suddenly stood up, and he came directly to the executioners, and after blocking their way, he opened his mouth and said:
"Wait! As the saying goes, the lord will not give up in battle. Besides, General Zhang Ren can be regarded as a hard worker on weekdays, if he is killed like this, I am afraid that the last general will cause a mutiny in the army! ”
As soon as Liu Yan heard this person's voice, he guessed the identity of this person, and the person who prevented him from killing Zhang Ren at this time was Yan Yan, the number one general under him.
At this time, Yan Yan had just passed his fortieth birthday, and he was in the prime of life.
Although many people in Shu say that Zhang Ren is the first general in Shu, Yan Yan's prestige in the army is not something that Zhang Ren can shake at this time.
If someone else stopped him, maybe Liu Yan would reprimand him directly, but Yan Yan spoke, which couldn't help but let Liu Yan think about it again.
Just when Liu Yan was a little silent, Zhang Lu on the side stood up again, he pointed to Yan Yan's nose and said sharply:
"Old General Yan, Zhang Ren is even a great merit to your Shuzhong. But this time, the bad influence he caused is not limited to you Shu! If you Yizhou can't handle it impartially, then Ben will leave with someone now! ”
