Chapter Twenty-Three: A Plate of Loose Sand

As Ye Zhao's words fell, there was a brief silence in the big tent, and the expressions of the princes were a little complicated.

In fact, if there was no matter of Gongsun Zhan, the princes would not be dissatisfied with the grain and grass of the governor of Yuan Shu, after all, Yuan Shu, as one of the main forces of this alliance, brought 50,000 soldiers and horses alone, and more grain and grass, and with Yuan Shu's identity, no one would object to this important position.

But now......

Although Yuan Shu killed the staff, but the people here are not fools, Yuan Shu is so eager to kill, I am afraid that most of them are just like what Ye Zhao said, there is no proof of death, which also proves Yuan Shu's weakness.

No one would like a teammate who stabbed him in the back, even if in principle, everyone was closer to the Yuan family than to Ye Zhao, but at this moment, as Ye Zhao spoke, everyone remained silent, even those who had an extremely bad relationship with Ye Zhao did not open their mouths to support Yuan Shu at this moment.

Based on this alone, Ye Zhao had actually won.

"Ye Hou is afraid that he doesn't want to take up the position of the governor of grain and grass himself, right?" Yuan Shu laughed angrily.

"Why not?" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and said indifferently: "At least Ben Hou will not use such a clumsy excuse to trap the soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the front line!" Ben Hou was not ready to fight for anything, but in order for this alliance to continue, he could only take it upon himself at this time. ”

Ye Zhaolai to the governor to distribute grain and grass?

When the princes heard this, they couldn't help frowning slightly, and their hearts were somewhat resigned, after all, Ye Zhao's previous relationship with everyone was not pleasant.

Gongsun Zhan took a step forward a little weakly and said, "General Ben also thinks that Ye Hou is the most suitable for this position!" ”

Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, originally just wanted to criticize Yuan Shu, after all, the governor's grain and grass are also very important, and he only needs to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the rear, no need to go into battle, if he wins after the war, he has a merit, although he is not compatible with Yuan Shu, but after all, they are all children of the Yuan family, and there is no reason to give up such important positions to outsiders.

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao looked at everyone, now that Ye Zhao spoke in person, he couldn't refute Ye Zhao's face, the alliance was going on, and Ye Zhao's banner was also very important.

", Ye Hou is indeed suitable!" Cao Cao looked at everyone's expressions, sighed and said, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but at this moment, Gongsun Zhan's matter and Ye Zhao's words have risen to the height of whether the alliance can continue to exist, he naturally doesn't want the alliance to collapse, and with Cao Cao's understanding of Ye Zhao, no matter what purpose Ye Zhao has, but at this time, he obviously doesn't want the alliance to lose, at least he doesn't want the alliance to lose so quickly, before Ye Zhao's goal is achieved, Ye Zhao will definitely not do anything on the grain and grass like Yuan Shu.

"Bei also agrees with Governor Yehou of Grain and Grass." Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu, sighed silently, and arched his hand towards Yuan Shao.

In this way, the princes of the three roads supported the matter, while the other princes chose to remain silent, in a sense, it was equivalent to acquiescing in the matter.

Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Shu helplessly, if it weren't for this kid who didn't care about the overall situation, how could there be today's matter, this is a taboo thing, even if it is the Yuan family, they don't dare to openly make such a truth.

"In that case, ask Ye Hou to be in charge of the governor's grain and grass." Yuan Shao nodded and said, the matter has come to this point, and he has no other choice.

"Wait!" Yuan Shu suddenly shouted.

"What else?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu with some impatience, it's all this time, isn't it ashamed?

"Since Ye Hou doesn't believe me, but Yuan doesn't believe Ye Hou either, Yuan's grain and grass will be guarded by Yuan himself, and Ye Hou doesn't need to bother." Yuan Shu looked at Ye Zhao and sneered.

"No problem, others, who is still worried about Benhou, can go and take away their own grain and grass." Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and suddenly smiled: "While this grain and grass is still on the road, remember to count it clearly, so as not to say that Benhou is greedy for grain and grass." ”

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "This is nature. ”

The next thing is interesting, the princes, including Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, all went to receive their own grain and grass, and after receiving it back, they handed it over to Ye Zhao, but a group of princes had a dispute over the issue of receiving grain and grass, after all, everyone brought grain and grass before, so many days down, people eat horses and chew, there will naturally be attrition, although Yuan Shu is not greedy for ink, but this is equivalent to redistributing grain and grass.

This quarrel lasted for a day, and looking at the posture, there was a faint meaning of escalating into a fight, and Liu Dai and Qiao Mao had even reached the point of mobilizing troops.

But more than a dozen princes, more than 200,000 troops of grain and grass, the redistribution takes a long time, not to mention, a group of princes who ran to the Tiger Prison under the banner of crusading against Dong thieves, but here because of the distribution of grain and grass, what does this make the world think?

Seeing that a group of people were arguing, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help but reconvene everyone and shouted angrily: "Since Ye Hou has been selected to be the person who supervises the transportation of grain and grass, all grain and grass should be uniformly dispatched by Ye Hou, and others must no longer quarrel over this matter, if there is a disobedient, it will be so good!" ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao took out the sword at his waist and cut off the table in front of him, he really had the urge to do it now, since the day he became the leader of the alliance, it seems that he has never encountered a pleasant thing.

When the princes saw that Yuan Shao had moved the real fire, they immediately died down, it was Yuan Shu, and at this moment, when they knew that they were at a loss, it was not easy to entangle anymore, but they were even more unaccustomed to Ye Zhao.

"It's getting late today, and tomorrow we will set off to attack the Tiger Pass!" Yuan Shao saw that everyone had stopped arguing, snorted, and got up.

When a group of princes heard this, they also dispersed.

"Xiuming's words made the highway and the princes estranged, and almost swept away the original majesty." Cao Cao caught up with Ye Zhao, who was leaving, and said to Ye Zhao with a wry smile: "Cao still wants to ask again, what does Xiu Ming want?" ”

Anyway, killing Cao Cao would never believe that Ye Zhao would do so many unnecessary things for no reason, although the prestige of the Yuan Shao brothers plummeted, but for Ye Zhao, there was no benefit, although he was now in charge of the allied army's rations, but this thing was just a caretaker, and it could not become Ye Zhao's.

"Nothing to do." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "However, Meng De's ability to stay sober is extremely admirable. ”

Cao Cao was speechless, seeing that Ye Zhao refused to speak, he didn't ask any more, and instead said, "Then Xiu Ming has a clever plan to break the enemy?" ”

"If I am Yuan Shao, I should divide my troops to attack Xuanyuan Pass and Yique Pass at this moment, Tiger Prison Pass is the most Xiongguan in the world, I have troops in the air, but I can't spread out the 200,000 army, it is better to divide a few more ways to attack Yique, Xuanyuan and even the revolving gate, Luoyang Eight Passes, as long as one or two of them can be broken, the rest of the passes will be useless." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said: "This reason, Meng De shouldn't be unclear, then Yuan Benchu must have known it in his heart, but why did he leave King Chen alone to fight hard in Yique Pass, while we spent time here?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but fall into silence, he naturally didn't know what Yuan Shao'an was thinking, but I am afraid that just like Ye Zhao was unwilling to go all out to break the enemy, Yuan Benchu was afraid that he also had his own calculations.

More than a dozen princes, now they know, they already have four or five kinds of thoughts, although before the army, Cao Cao also thought that this battle may not be too smooth, and it is difficult for the princes to work together, but even Yuan Shao, who is the leader of the alliance, has a different kind of thought, which really makes Cao Cao disappointed in this hurry.

"Once you've figured it out, don't ask me such childish words again, it's better to think about what you need." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Among the princes, you should be the most dishonest one, but now you are the only loyal minister left, but you are also ridiculous." ”

Cao Cao sighed silently when he heard this, and no longer discussed this topic with Ye Zhao, and instead said, "Xiu Ming won't also have the idea of collecting grain and grass like that Yuan Highway, right?" ”

"Why not?" Ye Zhao asked rhetorically.

Looking at Cao Cao's stunned expression, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, at least for now, I don't have such a mind, as for the future, it's hard to say." ”
