Hua Xiong obeyed Li Ru's instructions, and when he saw that Gongsun Chan had escaped, he did not chase after him, but he just set fire to Gongsun Zhan's camp and withdrew to the Tiger Prison Pass.

"After this defeat, the morale of the allied forces of the princes will inevitably be frustrated, so you only need to guard the city and wait for the battle at Yique Pass to end, and then make plans." Li Ru saw that Gongsun Chan was defeated and retreated, and estimated that the coalition army would not attack the city for the time being, so he immediately said goodbye to Niu Fu and Hua Xiong.

"Wen Wei has not rested for the past two days, and now that the thief army is defeated, it is better to rest for a day and then leave, then there are Wen Hou, Li Dao, and Zhang Ji in Yique Pass, is it possible that they are still defeated by a King Chen?" Niu Fu looked at Li Ru's thin body and frowned.

"It's a very good time." Li Ru shook his head with a smile and said, "The sooner the battle at Yique Pass is over, the more beneficial it will be to Lord Yu." ”

"Be careful all the way." Niu Fu saw that Li Ru insisted on leaving, and it was not good to stay any longer, so he sent a personal guard to Li Ru to escort him away, and then returned to Guancheng with Huaxiong to check the information.

Gongsun Zhan's camp had been burned to the ground, and for the sake of prudence, Niu Fu specially sent a lot of scouts to investigate the coalition army Dong Xiang.

At noon the next day, Yuan Shao personally commanded the army to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, and set up a camp outside the Tiger Prison Pass, 300,000 troops, after successive setbacks, the actual strength of the army at this time was only more than 250,000 people, and the strength was still above the Xiliang Army, but the morale was low again.

"How could Bo Jue be defeated so easily!" Gongsun Chan fled last night, panicked, but staggered the coalition army, when Yuan Shao arrived, he did not meet Gongsun Zhan, only saw the mess on the ground, has been burned to a scorched earth camp, can't help but be angry.

finally won a battle, but in the blink of an eye, he was defeated by Gongsun Zhan, the general of the Xiliang army, which made the little morale that had just been inspired disappear.

The princes in the tent were all silent, Cao Cao frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, and frowned: "Bo Jue has been in battle for a long time, and the Hu Zhen who turned forward also attacked at night, not only did it not succeed, but was killed by Bo Jue, how could he be stolen so easily this time?" ”

"Back to the army division, our army has not sent grain and grass for three days, the general has been preparing to withdraw today and join the army, and asked the alliance leader how not to send food, who knows that last night was attacked by a sneak attack, the soldiers only killed a few horses in a few days to feed their stomachs, how can they have the strength to fight?" The one who spoke was a military marquis under the command of Gongsun Zhan, who was separated from Gongsun Chan when he broke through last night, and only brought a few soldiers and horses with him, and was captured by the coalition scouts and brought to Yuan Shao for questioning.

"What!?" Yuan Shao's face changed when he heard this, and he glared at Yuan Shu angrily and said, "Highway, I asked you to send food to General Gongsun as soon as possible, why is this happening?" ”

"How do I know that I have ordered the allocation of grain to Gongsun Boqi that day." Yuan Shu frowned, a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's tone of questioning, a concubine of the Yuan family, why did he talk to him, the concubine of the Yuan family, like this.

"You ......" Yuan Shao saw Yuan Shu's attitude, his heart was even angrier, and he was about to scold, when he saw a junior colonel rushing into the account, bowed down and said: "Alliance leader, General Gongsun is back!" ”

"Please! Or I'll wait to welcome Bo Jue in. Yuan Shao felt ashamed, and hurriedly stood up and wanted to come out to greet him.

"No, the end is coming! The general of the defeated army, how dare the leader of the Labor League! I saw Gongsun Zhan with Guan Yu and Tian Yuer, who directly pushed aside the guards who wanted to stop them, and strode in with meteors.

The three of them looked a little embarrassed, Gongsun Zhan's face was stuck with dried blood scabs, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's, on top of the robe, the shawl and cloak were torn, and the armor on his body was also damaged, and Guan Yu and Tian Yu were not much better behind him.

"It's good that Bo Jue is fine, it's good that he's okay." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Don't think too much, recuperate for a few days, and it will not be too late to find the tiger prison guard in the coming day." ”

"Coming to Japan?" Gongsun Zan said abruptly: "The last general led the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloodily in front, if the enemy is strong, the last general is invincible, and the last general also admits it, I Yan Di Erlang, I can afford to lose; But dare to ask the alliance leader, three days did not distribute grain and grass, so that the soldiers had to kill horses to satisfy hunger, hungry, unable to fight, was defeated by Na Huaxiong, this account, how to calculate? ”

For a cavalry, the war horse is the second life, forcing the point of having to kill the horse to satisfy hunger, many generals present heard this, and couldn't help but feel related, and their eyes at Yuan Shao also changed a little.

"Bo Jue is angry, Shao is also asking about this, Bo Jue might as well be calm, I will definitely give Bo Jue an explanation." Yuan Shao took a deep breath, looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Highway, you can explain this matter to Bo Jue in person." ”

"I have allocated grain and grass three days ago, but why has it not arrived...... Wait for me to ask the person who allocates the grain and grass. Yuan Shu pretended to summon his staff and said, "I ordered you to allocate grain and grass to the vanguard three days ago, why haven't you arrived?" ”

"The lord forgives the sins, but it is really far away from the tiger prison, even if he travels day and night, it is difficult to transport grain and grass within three days." The staff hurriedly complained.

"By land?" Ye Zhao said with a little mockery: "Now the flow of the river is not turbulent, and the grain and grass can be delivered in half a day by waterway, and Bo Jue camps behind the water, which also has this intention, the highway allows people to transport it by land, and Bo Jue will not lose this battle." ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed the staff to the ground, and scolded in the disbelief of the staff: "It's all you waste, who almost killed Bo Jue." ”

"Kill well, death has no proof!" Ye Zhao laughed.

"Ye Xiuming, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Shu glared at Ye Zhao angrily, pointed his sword at Ye Zhao and said angrily.

"Yo~" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "Highway dares to point the sword at Benhou, the courage is commendable." ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Hahaha~" Gongsun Zhan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, looked at Yuan Shu and said: "The last general finally understands why Ye Hou refused to hand over the grain and grass in the first place, it seems that Ye Hou knows Yuan Highway best!" ”

"Gongsun Boju, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to turn his sword to Gongsun Zhan and said angrily.

"What do you mean? You really don't understand? Gongsun Zhan looked at Yuan Shu, his eyes flashed with danger, and he suddenly picked up the wolf tooth lance in his hand, smashed Yuan Shu's head, and shouted angrily: "Today, I want to avenge the unjust death of the soldier!" ”

"This matter is unfavorable for the subordinates, what does it have to do with me?" Yuan Shu didn't expect Gongsun Zhan to make a bold move, and hurriedly raised his sword to parry.

"Bell~"

In a muffled sound, Yuan Shu's arms trembled when he was smashed by Gongsun Zhan, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, to say that Yuan Shu was also a person who had been on the battlefield, and he also had some strength and martial arts in his hands, but how could he be an opponent like Gongsun Zhan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, just one blow, and was shocked by Gongsun Chan and almost sat down to the ground.

"Grunt~" Gongsun Zhan's abdomen, there was an inopportune sound, he hadn't eaten for three days, and he ran wildly all night last night, at this moment, Gongsun Chan suddenly exerted his strength, only to feel dizzy, and his body couldn't help shaking.

Guan Yu and Tian Yu behind him hurriedly stepped forward and held Gongsun Zhan.

"Kill him for me!" Yuan Shuhu's mouth cracked, and when he saw that Gongsun Zan was weak, anger rose from his heart, and he shouted violently.

The two generals behind him came out at the same time, and many Yuan Shu's personal guards poured in outside the tent, Guan Yu and Tian Yu hurriedly protected Gongsun Zhan.

"Get out!" Ye Zhao's face sank, he stood up, his knife-like gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers, and it made people feel a tingling sensation in his eyes, and said coldly: "How can this be such a presumptuous place!" ”

A group of guards did not leave, they were Yuan Shu's personal guards, not Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses, don't say Ye Zhao, even if Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, ordered, without Yuan Shu's nod, they would not execute.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile smugly when he saw this.

"Don't listen to orders, kill!" Ye Zhao's eyes were cold, he directly took out the short crossbow, and raised his hand at a Yuan Shu guard in front of him is arrow, which directly pierced the opponent's head.

"Kill~" The door was dark, but it was Dian Wei's figure who appeared in the big tent, and without waiting for those guards to react, the two iron halberds slashed left and right, and four or five guards were directly killed.

"Ye Zhao, you dare!" Yuan Shu couldn't help but be furious when he saw this.

"Why wouldn't I?" Ye Zhao asked rhetorically.

"Ye Hou, let him stop!" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Dian Wei, just the two sides were talking, the twenty or thirty guards who poured in had been cut down by Dian Wei, and the princes in the tent who saw it gasped, although they knew that Ye Zhao's personal guards were powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so brutal, and Yuan Shu's personal guards were also elite, but in front of this person, they were killed like chopping melons and vegetables, and the rest of the guards also fled in embarrassment, how could there be the previous momentum.

"There's no need to chase it, except for the official scouts and sentinels, the rest of the people don't want to let them enter the account." Ye Zhao waved his hand and motioned for Dian Wei to stop the pursuit.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei agreed, strode out of the big tent, and stayed outside the tent.

"Thank you Ye Hou for your righteous action!" Gongsun Zhan arched his hand to Ye Zhaoyi and said: "Before the last general, there were many offenses, Ye Hou didn't care about the previous suspicions, and the last general was grateful!" ”

The previous princes rejected Ye Zhao, although Gongsun Chan had no contradiction with Ye Zhao, but it was not good to stand on Ye Zhao's side, who knew that today he was in trouble, and none of his former friends came out to say a fair word for him, which really made Gongsun Chan feel cold.

"It doesn't matter." Ye Zhao waved his hand.

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Ye Hou, it's over!" ”

"It's not me, it's you!" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shao and said indifferently.

"What does Ye Hou mean?" Yuan Shao's heart sank, Ye Zhao had been silent for so long, did he finally have to make a move?

"Nepotism, that's your business, it's inconvenient for Ben Hou to ask, but I'm waiting for the crowd to gather here, in order to support the Han family, everyone elected you as the leader of the alliance, because everyone believes in you, but you don't want to reciprocate, but treat this coalition army as your Yuan family's private army, it's a little inappropriate, right?"

"I've never had such an idea in the next!" Yuan Shao saw that the princes' faces changed, and hurriedly explained.

"Yuan Shu's character, presumably everyone has seen it, I don't know why he entrusted him with such a major matter as the governor's grain and grass?" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and sneered: "Even if it is as he said, his subordinates are ignorant, but as the lord of the father, he has such a heavy responsibility, and he doesn't know it at all before the food and grass arrives for three days, not to mention whether this is possible, even if he really doesn't know, it can only show that this person is incompetent, what qualifications do you have to take on this heavy responsibility, Ben Hou suggests that this person who supervises the transportation of grain and grass should choose another meritocracy." ”
