Chapter 488: Framed
The battle in the Tiger Prison Pass has come to an end, and the Allies are being compressed into pieces and rapidly dying.
Lu Bu led the army of tigers and wolves, back and forth, and no one could stop it.
The shouts of killing inside the pass decreased, and the allied forces outside the Tiger Prison attacked fiercely, even almost storming the city, but this did not make them much excited.
This was achieved with great sacrifices, and although the city was attacked, more than 10,000 people had been killed and wounded in the attack for more than an hour or two, many times more than usual.
"Alliance leader, it's midnight now, and I'm afraid the battle in the Tiger Prison Pass is about to end, so there's no need to continue to attack like this." Cao Cao sighed, went to Yuan Shao's side, and persuaded him to stop the attack.
In fact, Yuan Shao knew very well in his heart that the soldiers and horses inside could not be saved, but he had to save it, and he would go all out to save it, otherwise this alliance leader would come to an end, and if he didn't save it, all the responsibility would be counted on his head.
Now someone came to persuade Yuan Shao to have a step down, so Yuan Shao showed a look of anger and shouted at the city: "Dong Zhuo thief, his subordinates are all villains, open the door and surrender quickly, otherwise when I break through the tiger prison, I will not leave the piece of armor." ”
Yuan Shao then scolded the city again, scolding Li Ru and the others with his words, but rather scolding everyone in the allied army, so that people could know his determination as the leader of the alliance.
After Yuan Shao scolded, he collected the troops very well and went back, but when he went back, he counted nearly 50,000 dead and wounded this time, and the 50,000 army was gone, and it was impossible not to feel pain in his heart.
Li Ru made a big move and pitted the allied army by 50,000, and the prestige of the Tiger Prison Pass was temporarily lifted, he cleaned up and let Li Su and Lu Bu guard the Tiger Prison Pass, while he rushed back to Luoyang in the starry night.
"My lord, the battle of Tiger Prison Pass has come to an end." Early the next morning, Guan Yu came to Ye Chen with the battle report.
Ye Chen said after reading the battle report: "This time Yuan Shao was not lightly pitted, I don't know what kind of moth will be provoked." ”
"This time Yuan Shao has caused so much loss to the allies, he must find a black cauldron to come out, but I don't know who will be this black cauldron." Guan Yu said.
Obviously, if Yuan Shao wants to maintain his prestige, someone must bear the black pot for him, otherwise if his prestige is not enough, the other princes of the allied forces will let him step down and leave.
Yuan Shao was inevitable all night, such a major mistake, this time obviously could not be blamed on his subordinates.
"Lord, this failure is completely due to Ye Chen's unwillingness to cooperate, otherwise how could there be such a defeat." Yuan Shao's subordinates immediately excused Yuan Shao and said.
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "If Ye Chen cooperates this time, we will enter the Tiger Prison Pass early, and we will not be so passive at all." ”
Yuan Shao was completely blind and talking nonsense, when Yuan Shao was looking for Ye Chen, Ye Chen made it clear that he would not cooperate, and told Yuan Shao that Dong Zhuojun was likely to ambush. As a result, Yuan Shao didn't listen, but planned to blame Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen was there, he might have strangled him on the spot.
"Lord, this Ye Chen insists on refusing to cooperate, and this ambush is too weird, Dong Zhuojun seems to know our arrangement completely, maybe this time is the result of Ye Chen's cooperation with Li Ru." Yuan Shao's subordinates swore an oath.
Yuan Shao was silent and let his subordinates play.
"I think we should gather other princes to jointly crusade against Ye Chen, this Ye Chen provided Dong Zhuo with food and weapons, it was completely an enemy, and now he is designing to frame us, it is really an unforgivable sin." Yuan Shao's subordinates took the matter to another level, and Ye Chen became Dong Zhuo's accomplice.
Yuan Shao never said a word, and some things could not be said from his mouth.
"It's nonsense, even if this Ye Chen is suspicious, but without evidence, you can't talk nonsense, what you said today can't be spread outside." Yuan Shao suddenly became angry, and said a word to stand up and leave.
Yuan Shao's subordinates were confused by his sudden anger, and they didn't understand what was going on.
It took a long time to gradually understand that Yuan Shao's subordinate showed a sinister smile, Yuan Shao wanted him to make a big deal and splash all the dirty water on Ye Chen's body.
Yuan Shao himself must not come forward to frame Ye Chen, but it doesn't matter if his subordinates come out to do these things, it is a big trouble, it is best to pull Ye Chen off the horse, if not, let his subordinates carry the black cauldron.
Soon, Ye Chen betrayed the coalition forces, cooperated with Dong Zhuo, and devised a scheme to deceive the allies into sneaking up on the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rumors quickly spread throughout the allied camp.
The middle and lower rank officers and soldiers of the allied army were boiling, and many of them threatened to kill Ye Chen and avenge their dead brothers.
However, the princes and their core subordinates did not participate, and the collective silence.
Others don't understand, none of these fools who can become the figures of the end of the Han Dynasty know that this is Yuan Shao shirking responsibility, but Yuan Shao did not stand up and say it in person, but others stood up and said it, so they let the situation develop.
This defeat of the allies cast a shadow, Yuan Shao passed on the crisis through this method, and at the same time helped the princes to pass on the pressure, so no one was destined to stand up and speak for Ye Chen.
In Cao Cao's big tent, he also received the news.
"Shameless, how could Yuan Benchu be so shameless." Cao Cao led the table and said angrily.
"Meng De, don't do this, although Yuan Shao is shameless, he has successfully helped the princes solve the current crisis, if you follow him, you will definitely offend all the princes." Cao Ren stood up and persuaded.
The tent was full of Cao Cao's absolute cronies, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ba and others were all confidants, so Cao Cao dared to scold so unscrupulously.
"I know, it's just that what Yuan Shao did was too shameless, he was also Hanchen, but he demolished the stage like this." At this time, Cao Cao still took the restoration of the Han family as his own responsibility, and he was quite unhappy with Yuan Shao's approach.
It's not cool to be unhappy, but Cao Cao also knows the big picture. After the defeat of the Allied forces, morale was low, and Yuan Shao did so, which aroused the hatred of the soldiers, and the morale quickly recovered.
The overall situation is the overall situation, but Cao Cao did not agree with Yuan Shao doing this, there are many ways to restore morale, but Yuan Shao chose this method of harming others and benefiting himself, and the interests of his quasi-allies are damaged.
When Gongsun Chan got the news, he was also very angry, and immediately sent someone to pass the news to Ye Chen, but Gongsun Chan had no ability to stop all this, even if he stood up against Yuan Shao, it would be useless.
"Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, you are shameless enough, you just framed me like this, can I really be slaughtered by others?" When Ye Chen received the information, he was furious, and his eyes were on fire.
"What four worlds and three dukes, it's just a wasted name." Tai Shi Ci took a bite and said angrily.
Guan Yu, Zhang Ning, and Zhao Yun also looked angry, no one thought that Yuan Shao could be so shameless.
"Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu, you provoked me first." Ye Chen made up his mind to deal with Yuan Shao, although he had this idea last time, he still had some reservations, and he didn't want to provoke the conflict soon, but Yuan Shao was too much this time.
