Gongsun Zhan can be said to be as powerful as a bamboo, defeating the thieves twice, and even killing three generals, including Hu Zhen, the main general of the Tiger Prison Pass, after the news reached the coalition army, the haze on the head in the past few days finally dispersed a lot.

"Bo Jue does not lose the name of the tiger general!" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard that Gongsun Zhan had broken the enemy one after another, and smiled at the young general who came to report the news: "You cut back and tell General Gongsun that our army will arrive in three days, so that it can be set up in camp, and when our army arrives, we will join hands to break through the tiger prison pass, and there is no need to worry about the grain and grass, I have sent an order to my brother Yuan Shu, and the grain and grass will come soon, so that Bo Jue can rest assured." ”

"Oh, the young general will retire!" The young general said yes and turned away.

"I heard that Gongsun Boqi is a good general in the world, and now it seems that he is really brave." The princes changed their previous depression, Zhang Miao said with a smile, and when he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao just couldn't hear it, and he didn't say that the coalition army couldn't fight without himself, this Zhang Miao is also strange, Gongsun Chan won the battle, and he didn't win the battle, so he was proud, what is it to take Gongsun Chan to squeeze himself?

Yuan Shao was in a good mood, waved his hand, signaled Zhang Miao not to stir up trouble, and said to Yuan Shu: "Highway, you allocate grain and grass to Bo Jue as soon as possible, don't make the army food shortage." ”

Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Shao unhappily, and reluctantly said, "So-and-so, let's prepare!" ”

Although he is in charge of the governor's grain and grass, but basically his generals are in charge, Yuan Shu is still with everyone on weekdays, participating in the princes' alliance, and got up to say goodbye immediately.

Yuan Shao looked at the crowd: "We also need to speed up the trip, don't let Bo Jue specialize in the front." ”

"What the alliance leader said is reasonable!" The morale of the princes was greatly shaken at this moment, and they set up camp and went to the Tiger Prison on the same day.

On the other side, Yuan Shu returned to his camp with a few staff members, and he was full of joy when he thought of Yuan Shao's smile.

"How can this be reasonable, but a small victory, the Xiliang army has not lost half of its vitality, looking at the proud appearance of that concubine, it is not too bad to lose the face of the Yuan family!" Yuan Shu sat on the handsome seat, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a taste, he was a dignified son of the Yuan family, but now he had to listen to a concubine pointing fingers there, and he couldn't refute it.

Even if Yuan Shao did not treat Yuan Shu badly after becoming the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu still felt that he had been insulted, he had lost a row before, looking at Yuan Shao's anxiety, Yuan Shu was still secretly happy in his heart, and now that Gongsun Chan has won the battle, seeing Yuan Shao like that, he still has to make a big move, and his heart is full of feelings.

"My lord, my subordinates think ...... The matter of grain and grass can be postponed. Seeing Yuan Shu like this, a staff member smiled and said.

"Why?" Yuan Shu said impatiently.

"The lord wants to compete with another brother, but the other brother is now the leader of the alliance, the smoother the war, the more unfavorable it will be for the lord!" The staff carefully looked at Yuan Shu's face, and saw that Yuan Shu did not show displeasure, and said a little in his heart: "Now among the princes, the good fighters are called Gongsun Boqi, that Ye Xiuming and Sun Jian under the lord's account, and now Sun Jian has died in battle, Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao are inseparable, only this Gongsun Zhan, not only good at fighting, but also earnest, but I don't know that every time he wins a battle, Yuan Shao's prestige will be more than a point, and the princes will be more convinced of it. At that time, it will be difficult for the lord to fight with him again. ”

Yuan Shu couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

Seeing this, the staff followed closely and said: "Brother Zun seems to hold great power with the governor of the lord and the grass, but in fact it is the opportunity for the lord to show his might, the coalition army is at war with the Dong thief, and the lord sends the most troops and grain, but if there is merit, but there is no matter of the lord, according to the opinion of his subordinates, then Gongsun Chan can no longer win!" ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and then frowned and said, "If you refuse to give food, isn't it to give someone a handle?" ”

"The lord will send him food, but instead of land and water, but by land, then Gongsun Chan will not die and come to liquidate, and we will have something to say." The staff laughed.

If the grain and grass are transported by land and water, it can be delivered to Aocang in less than a day, but if it is transported by land, I am afraid that it will take two or three days to travel, and the marching speed of the coalition army is not bad.

"Wonderful!" After thinking for a moment, Yuan Shu stroked his palm and smiled: "Then let's do it, remember, distribute enough grain and grass, don't give people a handle!" ”

"Subordinates obey!" The staff bowed and exited the tent.

Yuan Shu was in a better mood, and immediately returned to the princes' camp, and drove with the princes to the Tiger Prison.

There was nothing to say for a day, and early the next morning, outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Gongsun Zan counted the soldiers and horses, but when he learned that the grain and grass had not been delivered, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and recruited Tian Yu, who came back, to his side, and frowned: "Guorang, have you ever told the alliance leader that our army has no food?" ”

"Back to the lord, the last general has made it clear to the alliance leader yesterday, and the alliance leader has also promised to send food to our army immediately, I think this grain and grass should be on the way, and the lord does not need to worry." Tian Yu bowed and said.

With thousands of mouths waiting to eat, how can you not be worried?

Gongsun Chan sighed, at this moment, there is no choice but to continue to wait, but in this heart, there is inevitably a little haze.

"General!" Guan Yu found Gongsun Zan and arched his hand: "The soldiers are ready, do you want to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to call the battle?" ”

Gongsun Zhan said with a wry smile: "The grain and grass have not arrived, so you don't have to go first, otherwise the soldiers are fighting desperately, but they don't even have enough food, and it is easy to shake the morale of the army, so they will repair in the camp for the time being." ”

"Whoa!" Guan Yu nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

The Tiger Prison was closed, and the news of yesterday's loss of three generals in a row had been transmitted back to Luoyang, and early this morning, Li Ru had already rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Niu Fu and Hua Xiong brought Li Ru into the house.

"Wen Wei, why are you the only one who came?" Niu Fu and Li Ru are both Dong Zhuo's sons-in-law, and they are closer to each other than others, so they didn't have too many greetings, and asked directly.

"Now that the main force of our army is cleaning up that King Chen and Liu Pet, I am afraid that it will be difficult for reinforcements to come over in a short time." Li Ru shook his head and said, "My father-in-law sent me to help defend the city, and tell me how the battle is going?" ”

"Yesterday, it was reported that Zhang Bao went out to challenge, and was killed by a member of the Gongsun Zhan; Hu Zhen didn't listen to my advice, and insisted on going out of the customs to steal the camp, but he was calculated by Gongsun Zhan, not only lost the army, but also lost Hu Zhen and Zhao Cen, and now the morale of the army is a little low. Niu Fu smiled bitterly and told Li Ru about the battle situation.

When Li Ru heard this, he sneered: "That Hu Zhen is a self-confident general, does not listen to people's words, and is stubborn and self-serving, and this difficulty is also expected, but it is a pity that not only the soldiers and horses were damaged, but also the spirit of our army was dampened, which is really hateful!" ”

"The servants are here, but what is the strategy to break the enemy?" Hua Xiong looked at Li Rudao expectantly.

"I haven't seen that its army is not good at making judgments, the current situation, the emphasis is on stability, although the coalition army is numerous, but its hearts are not aligned, and it will retreat in the long run." Li Ru shook his head, and at the moment, he really focused on stability.

"But that Gongsun Chan has killed three generals in a row, and his morale is high, he should come again today, why hasn't there been any movement at this time?" Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong and Niu Fudao suspiciously.

"I don't know." Niu Fu and Hua Xiong shook their heads.

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Wait for me to go up to the city to have a look." ”

When the next group of three people went to the city with the guards to watch, the Gongsun Chan camp was ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and standing on the Tiger Prison Pass, the outline of the Gongsun Chan camp was in his eyes.

"Is there no food?" Hua Xiong said suddenly: "That Gongsun Chan rode lightly, and I didn't see his baggage yesterday." ”

"He camped with his back to the water, and the allied army's rations could be transported directly from the river......" Li Ru said this, suddenly paused, he suddenly remembered what was mentioned in the information sent by Ye Zhao before, and thought for a while: "Immediately send someone to take a small boat along the opposite bank to watch, see if there is any baggage delivered, after noon tomorrow, whether there is food delivered or not, report to me!" ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu competed for the leader of the alliance, and finally Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shu was responsible for escorting grain and grass, logically speaking, this result was not bad for the coalition army, but Ye Zhao had mentioned many times in the letter that Yuan Shu would be repaid, I am afraid that Yuan Shao would not be better, now that Gongsun Chan has won, the biggest benefit is not Gongsun Chan himself, but Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu may not want Gongsun Chan to continue to be arrogant, if what Ye Zhao said is correct, it is really possible to be said by Hua Xiong.

However, after all, it was Ye Zhao's family's words, and the two sides did not establish enough trust, whether this is the case, Li Ru still needs to verify it.

On the same day, there was no movement in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Gongsun Zhan only set up camp to defend himself, and did not come to fight again.

The night was silent, and at noon the next day, the spies sent out to investigate came back to report that no ships had entered the camp.

"Wen Wei, how's it going?" Niu Fu looked at Li Rudao.

"Sure enough, there is no food!" Li Ru smiled and said, "General Hua, do you dare to go out of the city tonight and rob the camp again?" ”

"Wen Wei thinks it's feasible?" Niu Fu frowned and looked at Li Rudao, he didn't advocate attacking, but Li Ru was different from Hu Zhen, if he wasn't sure, Li Ru wouldn't act so rashly.

"Counting today, the thief army has been out of food for almost three days, at this moment the army is afraid that it has been chaotic, according to the scouts, the coalition army is still in the east of Aocang, and it will arrive tomorrow, at this time it must be the time when Gongsun Chan's defense is lax, at this time, it will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, before the arrival of the coalition army, break Gongsun Zhan, the spirit of the coalition army will disappear, we just need to stick to the city." Li Ru said with a smile.

"Then let's go and prepare!" Hua Xiong nodded, got up and was about to leave.

"Wait, I have a general under my account, named Hu Chi'er, although he is not as brave as the general, but he is also infinitely powerful, and he can help the general." Niu Fu stopped Hua Xiong and said with a smile: "I will temporarily transfer him to General Hua's command." ”

"Thank you, General Zhonglang!" Hua Xiong solemnly thanked him.

That night, Hua Xiong and Hu Chi'er divided their troops into two ways, in the middle of the night, at three watches, suddenly entered the Gongsun Chan camp, three consecutive days without food, Gongsun Chan soldiers were exhausted, only because of the prestige of Gongsun Chan, there was no mutiny, at this time suddenly attacked, which strength to fight, Rao is Guan Yu Yongguan champion of the three armies, Gongsun Chan personally put on the battle, it is difficult to hide the decline, in the end can only be under the escort of Guan Yu and Tian Yu, the picture goes, five thousand Youzhou iron horses, nearly half of the loss!
