Chapter 238 had no choice but to receive orders

When Liu Yuan's words just landed, Sun Jian, who was behind him, immediately jumped out, pointed at Yuan Shao with his hand and said hatefully:

"Even if you are one of the candidates, you will also withdraw from this so-called alliance of princes!"

Immediately afterwards, three more princes stood up from the seats in the big tent, and they even had to advance and retreat together with Liu Yuan, and the leader was naturally Beihai Taishou Kong Rong.

The person who surprised Yuan Shao the most was Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian.

Tao Qian's strength is not comparable to ordinary princes, and the elite soldiers of Danyang under him are the elite troops of the famous Han Dynasty.

At this time, Yuan Shao felt an incomparably headache, if it was said that it would be dealt with according to military law, his younger brother Yuan Shu would at least be a decisive decision!

But no matter how you say that Yuan Shu is his own brother, let him kill his own brother like this, whether it is reasonable or in the family, he can't explain it.

But if Yuan Shu is not killed, once Liu Yuan, Sun Jian, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Zhang Chao, and these five princes withdraw from the alliance, their alliance of princes will become a laughing stock for the ages.

He, the so-called alliance leader, will be ridiculed for thousands of years, which makes Yuan Shao, who has always paid great attention to his reputation, how could he accept it!

Just when Yuan Shao was a little silent, Cao Cao, as his friend and the initiator of the alliance of the princes, stood up from his position.

He first appeased Kong Rong and several other princes a little, and then came to Liu Yuan's side with a smile, and asked in a low voice in Liu Yuan's ear:

"Jizhou Mu, what should I do about this matter according to your meaning? You can't let the alliance leader kill the highway general, although the highway general is at fault first, but he is the Nanyang Taishou of the Han Dynasty and the brother of the alliance leader, isn't that a bit too much! ”

"Haha! Brother Meng De misunderstood, how could Ben Hou force the alliance leader to kill the highway general! It's just that General Highway has caused Wuchenghou to suffer heavy losses, so can't it be just left at that? ”

"Of course, this matter must not be left as it is, for my brother, I guarantee that the Yuan Alliance Master will give Wu Chenghou a satisfactory answer!"

"This~ I really can't stand Brother Meng De, I can't believe such an empty promise! Look at it this way, as long as the highway general can allocate 30,000 horses from his subordinates, and then supply the grain, grass and ordnance to Wu Chenghou, this matter will be forgotten! ”

"What~this~ Jizhou Mu, don't you think your request is a bit excessive? There are less than 70,000 people under the command of the highway general, so you let him hand over half of it! ”

"Excessive? Nine out of ten of the 30,000 people under his command of Wu Chenghou were killed, and even several generals under his command were seriously injured! Isn't that excessive? Ben Hou just let him make up for Wu Chenghou's loss, and it would be good if he didn't want his life! ”

Cao Cao was stunned by Liu Yuan's words, according to Liu Yuan's statement, then he was already very magnanimous to Yuan Shu.

But there is no comparison between the two at all, although Wucheng Hou Sun Jian claims to have 30,000 elites under his command, in fact, there are less than 20,000 people.

And a small half of them belong to the kind of recruits who have just been drafted into the army.

And Yuan Shu's subordinates are all elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time, and the difference between them can be described as vastly different!

If Yuan Shu handed over 30,000 people, Sun Jian would only need to spend a little time to completely turn these people into his subordinates, and his strength would be a leap compared to before.

Not to mention that Liu Yuan also asked for all the grain, grass and ordnance to be fully equipped, which was tantamount to depriving Yuan Shu of more than half of his strength, how could Yuan Shu agree?

Just when Cao Cao was thinking about how to persuade Liu Yuan to get a little point, he didn't expect Yuan Shu, who was being held by Yuan Shao on the side, to say:

"Good! Just do what Fan Yanghou said! Ben will go back and order all the men and horses, and immediately transfer them to Wu Chenghou's command! ”

Cao Cao was so angry with Yuan Shu at that time, he knew that Yuan Shu must be scared, so he agreed so quickly after Liu Yuan threw out this condition.

Didn't he know that his promise was not only a blow to him, but also to his brother and himself!

However, although Cao Cao hated that iron could not become steel, but at this time, Yuan Shu's words had been exported, and he had no way to recover at all, so he could only watch that this matter was a foregone conclusion!

Then Cao Cao's eyes rolled, and he thought of a good way, which made his mood happy again, and after Sun Jian and Yuan Shu completed the handover, Cao Cao said in front of the princes:

"The previous thing was a complete misunderstanding, and now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope you can work together to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo!"

Cao Cao's words were of course nodded in agreement with all the princes in the big tent, and they originally formed an alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Before Dong Zhuo was defeated, of course their purpose would not change, and after Cao Cao saw that everyone in the account nodded in agreement with his statement, he immediately continued:

"Now that Wu Chenghou's strength has been fully restored, then Ben General suggests that he continue to serve as the vanguard of the coalition forces!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Yuan Shao immediately reacted, the two of them were friends who grew up together, as long as Cao Cao opened his mouth, he could guess what Cao Cao meant.

Now hearing Cao Cao say this, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to jump up and hug Cao Cao and kiss him, this Cao Cao is so cute!

If Sun Jian doesn't agree, then he can deduct him from the charge of being afraid of the war.

Even if he couldn't hand over the centaurs he had just eaten, he would be able to deal a severe blow to Liu Yuan's prestige.

After all, the current Liu Yuan is Sun Jian's biggest backer in the eyes of all the princes, and if Sun Jian is timid, Liu Yuan's face will not look good!

If Sun Jian agreed to be the vanguard of the coalition army, then he would immediately continue to send him to attack Bishui Pass.

His subordinates are all people who have just gotten in, even if Sun Jian has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he can't beat the Bishui Pass!

When the time comes, he will be able to cure him for the crime of ineffective fighting, anyway, no matter what, Sun Jian will definitely fall into their calculations!

Sure enough, when he heard Cao Cao's words, Sun Jian's face turned a little pale, and he also thought of the situations that might happen next.

But at this time, he didn't even have a chance to object, after all, he had recommended himself and took the initiative to be the vanguard of the coalition.

Now let him swallow back what he said before, according to his personality, even if he dies, he will not do this, and now his hope is only Liu Yuan.

But when Sun Jian looked at Liu Yuan, he found that Liu Yuan didn't seem to hear what Cao Cao was saying, leaning on his place as if he was an old god.

Just as Sun Jian was about to reach out and push Liu Yuan to remind him, Cao Cao's voice sounded again in the big tent:

"Good! Since you don't have any opinions, it's decided! Wu Chenghou continues to be the vanguard of our army, and please ask Wu Chenghou to take the Bishui Pass within three days! ”
