Chapter 484: Layout of both sides
When Li Ru received Ye Chen's reply, his face turned green, because Ye Chen plugged all the loopholes and only gave him one day, so that his method of delaying time could not be implemented.
"One day at a time." At this time, the war was tight, and Li Ru had no choice, so he could delay it for a day.
Li Ru didn't dare to delay, because he had wasted almost three days of back and forth letters with Ye Chen, and he spent another day organizing about 50,000 "refugees" to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass.
After bringing the people to the Tiger Prison, Li Ru wrote to Ye Chen again, reporting the contents of the transaction to Ye Chen in detail.
Li Ru wanted to let the army rest, but the Kwantung princes wanted to take the opportunity to enter the Tiger Prison Pass.
Ye Chen reported the news to Yuan Shao and asked them to truce for a day, but Yuan Shao quickly invited him to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yuan Shao's big tent only had him and a few of his staff, and no one else.
"Ye Chen, this delivery of refugees is a good opportunity, why don't we take this opportunity to enter the city." Yuan Shao called Ye Chen over and said to him.
"Wishful thinking." Secretly scolding in his heart, Ye Chen said: "It is Li Ru who is responsible for the delivery of refugees this time, he will not give you a chance, and will even set a trap, if you really dare to take the opportunity to kill it, you will definitely fall into his ambush." ”
"Ye Chen, don't be alarmist, if Li Ru is really capable, there will be no eighteen town princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo today." A staff member next to Yuan Shao spoke.
Ye Chen glanced at him, and found that he didn't know him, and it was estimated that he was just a passerby's character, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and then said to Yuan Shao: "That's it, if you want to take the opportunity to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, it's your business, I won't stop it or help you, but I advise you not to act rashly, Li Ru's advantage is not easy to take advantage of." ”
Yuan Shao didn't say a word, but his face was full of displeasure, Ye Chen knew that Yuan Shao was very annoyed by his non-cooperation, but he just held his identity and didn't break out.
"Ye Chen, who is also a courtier of the Han family, should work together to destroy Dong Zhuo, how can you shirk it like this, isn't it that you have some ulterior motives with that Dong Zhuo." Yuan Shao was not angry and arrogant, and he couldn't discuss it, and he planned to coerce Ye Chen into submission.
Ye Chen smiled at him and said, "Don't put any hat on me, I was ordered to recruit displaced people and not let the people in the Luoyang area suffer, I can't manage other things even if I want to, Yuan Meng's lord will take care of it." ”
After speaking, Ye Chen stood up and walked out.
"You, you..."
Yuan Shao stood up, pointed at his back and couldn't speak, from childhood to adulthood, Yuan Shao He Cheng has been treated like this, he comes from a wealthy family, no matter who others see him, they must be respectful, this Ye Chen not only didn't give him face, but also shook his face like this.
After Ye Chen left, Yuan Shao sat down, but with an angry look on his face, those who were familiar with him knew that Yuan Shao was already very angry at this time.
"Asking Dong has come to an end, and the next thing is the era of princes, you and I won't be enemies for long, if you want me to give you face, who is afraid of whom, you have the ability to send a large army to fight me." When he came out, Ye Chen knew that he and Yuan Shao had already broken from the dark to the open, and it was estimated that they would be enemies in the future.
But Ye Chen doesn't care, according to history, this Dong Zhuo is probably going to run away, even if his strength is much stronger because of Ye Chen, but Dong Zhuo's defeat is still unavoidable, the difference is that he can consume more of the strength of the princes.
Yuan Shao saw that Ye Chen refused to cooperate, of course he was furious, but after being angry, he was still sensible, knowing that there was no way to take Ye Chen at this time, so he summoned the princes of the Eighteen Roads.
"The day after tomorrow, Ye Chen and Li Ru handed over the people, so I want to take this opportunity to enter the tiger prison." Yuan Shao said.
The princes below all nodded after hearing this, thinking that this was an opportunity.
"Alliance leader, don't move lightly, then Li Ru is not simple, besides, there is a Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison Pass, our army has been attacking for many days, so it's good to take the opportunity to rest for a day.
”
Yuan Shao glanced at it and saw that it was Cao Cao who stood up against him, so he endured his anger, this Ye Chen didn't give him face, Cao Cao actually came out against him, regardless of the fact that even if he was annoyed at this time, he could only endure it first.
"My hundreds of thousands of troops are gathered here, and the grain and grass consumed every day are too much, Dong Zhuo should be killed as soon as possible, and I should return the Han River and Mountain, so I can't delay any longer, this is an opportunity, arrange it carefully, even if it is not successful, there will not be much loss."
Yuan Shao said so, and Cao Cao did not continue to speak out against it, and after discussing it, everyone decided to attack the Tiger Prison on the same day.
The Allies did not allow the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass to continue to recuperate, and continued to storm overnight, and at the same time began to organize elite troops to prepare for a sneak attack on Tiger Prison Pass.
Ye Chen knew that Yuan Shao would not be reconciled, but he didn't care, there were still capable people in the allied army, even if he failed, he would not be forced to retreat if he was pitted with some troops.
However, Yuan Shao loves to do whatever he wants, and it is not his business to be cheated in the end.
The allies stormed for another day, and Ye Chen appeared outside the Tiger Prison Pass at the time of the agreed transaction, at this time the two sides had already stopped fighting, and it was agreed to be settled at noon.
"Lord Li Ru, you said that the allies would really take the opportunity to sneak attack the Tiger Prison Pass?" In the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Su asked Li Ru.
"The allies will not let go of this opportunity, they have lost more than 100,000 horses outside the Tiger Pass, and their logistical pressure is huge, they want to take the Tiger Pass in one fell swoop and attack Luoyang, which is also human nature." Li Ru said with a smile.
"Then you say that we can take the opportunity to kill Ye Chen, Ye Chen is a person that the lord hates to the core." Li Su couldn't help but get excited when he thought that Ye Chen's head was Wanhu Hou.
Li Ru shook his head and said with a light smile: "If you want to say that Ye Chen is the most thief among the princes of Kwantung, he will definitely not participate in the sneak attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, and he will definitely run away after handing over the people."
”
Li Su was speechless for a moment, he originally wanted to be active and see if he could get a marquis, but Li Ru said that Ye Chen would not participate.
Li Ru said that Ye Chen would not participate in Li Su and believed it, Li Ru was a well-deserved military advisor in Dong Zhuo's army, and no one was stronger than him.
Although there is a Jia Xu in Dong Zhuojun, few people in Jia Xu know him, and he does not show his talent.
"Lu Bu should be ready, let's go and have a look." Saying that, the two went to the head of the city of Tiger Prison.
There were many soldiers on the head of the city, densely packed, and layers of defense, especially the archers, with arrows in their hands, leaned against the battlements, as if they would attack with all their might at the slightest movement below.
This defense came from Li Ru, who knew that the Kwantung princes were not fools, but were just eager to win, so it would take a lot of effort to fool them.
Therefore, he first made a defensive posture, so that the Kwantung princes would believe that he was not ambushed, and if all the soldiers on the city were withdrawn, the Kwantung princes would not dare to attack.
