On the second day, the allied forces of the princes finally passed through several times according to Cao Cao's method, and then Yuan Shu was responsible for transporting the grain and grass over.

The news of Sun Jian's death did not come back, but at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the rescue again, Yuan Shao sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing the next plan with Cao Cao, Liu Dai and others, but saw Zhang Miao walking in with an ugly face.

"Meng Zhuo's face is not very good, what happened?" Cao Cao and Zhang Miao are good friends, and they are strange when they see this.

"Alliance leader, that Yehou general is too presumptuous!" Zhang Miao nodded to Cao Cao as a greeting, and turned his head to look at Yuan Shaodao.

"What's going on?" Yuan Shao suddenly felt that he had a headache, according to the previous practice, once something was related to Ye Zhao, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"The highway was ordered by the governor of grain and grass, and it stands to reason that Ye Hou's grain and grass should also be deployed together, but Ye Hou's subordinates stopped him and insisted on rhyming himself." Zhang Miao suppressed his anger and said to Yuan Shao: "Since we are in the alliance, it is one family, why should everyone's grain and grass be uniformly allocated, Ye Hou does this, there is a suspicion of dividing the alliance!" ”

"Meng Zhuo has said it." Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Ye Hou had some grievances with the highway in the past, and I am afraid that it is because of this that he is unwilling to let the highway escort his own grain and grass." ”

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand, stopped Zhang Miao, who was about to say anything more, looked at Cao Cao, and swept over everyone in the tent, and finally looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Xuande, I see that you are friendly with Ye Hou, why don't you let Xuande invite Ye Hou here?" ”

"Why, it's true that my brother is running errands!?" Zhang Fei glared at him when he heard this, and said angrily.

His voice was very loud, and his anger was even louder, and the entire camp felt that it was trembling with Zhang Fei's roar, which startled the princes in the tent.

"Yide, it's rude!" Liu Bei hurriedly reproached Zhang Fei, turned to everyone and smiled: "Everyone, don't blame, the third brother has a straightforward temperament and is not malicious, so go here." ”

The princes in this account, although they are all at the level of Taishou and state pastor, and the difference in official positions is not big, but regardless of qualifications or background, Liu Bei is absolutely at the bottom, at this moment Yuan Shao asked him to call Ye Zhao, firstly, the princes in the account, most of them do not deal with Ye Zhao, and secondly, there is also Liu Bei's low qualifications in it, in fact, there is nothing wrong, but in Zhang Fei's opinion, this is something that can be done by calling a pro-guard school, but calling him the eldest brother is too despised.

It is also because Zhang Fei and Ye Zhao do not have deep contact, Yuan Shao really didn't mean to insult Liu Bei, although his background is not high, but Liu Bei now represents Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao went to provoke Liu Bei when he was idle.

It is really Yuan Shao and Ye Zhao who have been ministers in the same hall for several years, and they know that Ye Zhao is a person, if you talk about a shelf, Ye Zhao usually doesn't have it, but if Ye Zhao really has a shelf with others, you can talk to him about seniority, he can make you doubt life, and now that the coalition has lost again and again, Yuan Shao is already in a hurry, and he really doesn't have the mood to talk to Ye Zhao again, so he directly asked the princes to come forward to invite, under normal circumstances, as long as he doesn't have a good shelf, Ye Zhao can still communicate, this is Yuan Shao's perception of Ye Zhao.

However, Zhang Fei's attitude still made many people in the tent dissatisfied, but Liu Bei's sincere attitude, coupled with Liu Bei's performance in the army these days, also attracted a lot of favor, especially Kong Rong and Tao Qian, who had a good impression of Liu Bei, so they didn't say much about this matter.

Ye Zhaolai is not slow, he has been idle in the army these days, in addition to deducing the battle between the two sides, most of the time he is in the barracks to practice soldiers and horses, or to command soldiers to cross the river.

"Ye Hou, is there any misunderstanding about the grain and grass?" Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "Didn't I say that the highway would be responsible for the deployment?" ”

"I ordered this, what's wrong?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Ye Hou, although you are in a high position, you are a reasonable word in everything!" Zhang Miao suppressed his anger and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Since Ye Hou and I swore an alliance to defeat Dong Thief, we should take the overall situation into account." ”

"Not handing over grain and grass does not mean that Ben Hou ignores the overall situation, and what does the crusade against Dong Thief have to do with handing over grain and grass?" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "If Yuan Highway detains our army's grain and grass when Benhou is fighting with the Xiliang army, what should I do?" ”

"Ye Hou, don't believe me!" Zhang Miao said angrily.

"That's right." Ye Zhao nodded as a matter of course: "Meng Zhuo might as well tell me, how should I believe in Er and wait, since I led the army to join the alliance, you really regard Ben Hou as your own person?" ”

Zhang Miao was stunned, there was really no such thing, but he didn't expect Ye Zhao to admit it so simply.

"Ye Hou is serious!" Seeing that the scene froze, Cao Cao hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Such a big thing, I don't think the highway will be so ignorant." ”

"You and I didn't recognize Yuan Highway on the first day, this kind of thing, he did it." Ye Zhao glanced at Yuan Shao with a smile: "Otherwise, with his status as the concubine of the Yuan family, how could he let Ben Chu be the leader of this alliance." ”

Yuan Shao's eyebrows jumped, feeling that Ye Zhao was looking for something, and said calmly: "Then I don't know what Ye Hou has planned." ”

"This unified supervision of military rations can also avoid unnecessary losses, originally Ben Hou was very much in favor of it, but it is inevitable that this important task will be handed over to Yuan Highway to do." Ye Zhao smiled and said: "At least Benhou has an old grudge with Yuan Highway, this is related to the lifeblood of 20,000 sons under Benhou's command, and it can't be handed over to Yuan Highway, if you insist on forcing me to hand over the grain and grass, it will inevitably be divided, and Benhou can only withdraw from the alliance and wait and see the battle alone." ”

Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face: "Then Yiye Hou!" ”

No matter how the princes don't treat Ye Hou well, if Ye Zhao withdraws from the coalition at this time, even if Ye Zhao continues to fight Dong Zhuo, it will definitely be a huge blow to his prestige as the alliance leader, as for besieging and killing Ye Zhao, he can't, at least not now.

The coalition forces haven't fought with Dong Zhuo yet, not to mention losing again and again, and now they are starting to deal with their own people again, no matter what the cause of the matter is, how Ye Zhao didn't want to be seen, he really did it, even if he succeeded, this time the Dong alliance was completely dispersed, and his prestige as the leader of the alliance would be lost, so in the face of Ye Zhao's threat of directly flipping the table, Yuan Shao really didn't dare to gamble, so he could only compromise with Ye Zhao for the time being.

"Newspaper~"

A junior colonel entered the account, bowed down and said, "Qiqi Alliance Leader, General Gongsun is back." ”

"Please!" Yuan Shao's face was full of joy, on the one hand, Sun Jian's matter made everyone worry, on the other hand, he also wanted to change the topic, and the atmosphere in the tent had begun to be a little embarrassing.

Soon, Gongsun Chan came in with a young general, saluted Yuan Shao and sat in his seat.

"Bo Jue, how is the battle in Xingyang?" Before Yuan Shao could speak, Liu Dai on the side had already asked impatiently.

It's not that Sun Jian's personnel are good, before Sun Jian came here, Liu Dai and the others had threatened to expel Sun Jian, but the battle of Xingyang was too big, and before the battle started, it had already lost Li Min, Xu Ling, and Kong Ling three princes one after another, and the morale of the coalition army was devastating, and the princes urgently needed a victory to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

"It's gone." Gongsun Chan shook his head and sighed.

"What do you mean?" The princes' hearts sank, and they all looked at Gongsun Zhan.

"Failed to rescue in time, when I arrived, Lu Bu had already withdrawn, the Wentai Department was seriously damaged, 8,000 soldiers, only less than 2,000 remained, the most important thing is ......" Gongsun Zhan raised his head, looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "Sun Wentai and his general Zu Mao died in battle, and Huang Gai and Cheng Pu have also helped their coffins to return to Sun Jian's hometown." ”

"Hiss~" Everyone in the tent heard that although Cao Cao had been mentally prepared when Cao Cao retreated yesterday, Sun Jian was a good general after all, he had fought in the Central Plains, and he had also made great contributions in the battle of Xiliang, so he was not necessarily as good as Na Lu Bu, before getting the exact news, even if he knew that there was little hope, he still had a glimmer of hope.

It's just that I can't imagine that Sun Jian was not only defeated, but also defeated so completely that even his life was on the line, even if a few people who were dissatisfied with Sun Jian because Sun Jian killed Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi before, when they heard the news of Sun Jian's death at this moment, it was very unpleasant, not only because of Sun Jian's death, but because since the establishment of this coalition army, the successive defeats made everyone feel a little dazed.

Can this coalition of Kwantung princes really win against Dong Zhuo and support the Han family?

In the entire big tent, there was a gloomy atmosphere, Yuan Shao was the first to calm down and looked at everyone: "Xingyang is related to the victory and defeat of our army, I don't know if you have any clever plans to break Xingyang?" ”

When the princes heard this, they were all silent, except for Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, they were not famous generals, and they sat and talked about it on weekdays, and they were good at it in the world, but when it came to this showdown, it was a little reluctant, at least in this state, it was difficult to come up with any strategies to break the enemy.

After Cao Cao pondered for a moment, he looked at the crowd: "Xingyang and the tiger prison form horns with each other, like this time, we are waiting to attack Xingyang, Lu Bu attacked from behind, Dong Zhuo's command, mainly cavalry, that Lu Bu has been fighting with the Hu people for a long time, and is good at cavalry warfare, but most of the people in our coalition army are foot soldiers, thieves come and go like the wind, but our army can only be passive, in my opinion, it is better to leave an army to guard Xingyang, the main force of our army is close to the tiger prison, if you can break through the tiger prison, then Xingyang is not to worry. ”

Gongsun Zan nodded and said: "I also heard that Huang Gai said, Xingyang guard general Niu Fu is quite cautious in using troops, if you are not completely sure, you will never send troops, this kind of temperament, if you want to break the city, but if you just watch him, only one general, thousands of soldiers, can trap him in Xingyang, Meng De's plan, the end will think it is feasible." ”

Cao Cao nodded at Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone: "I don't know which one is willing to take on this important responsibility?" ”

When the princes heard this, they looked at each other and didn't make a sound, not because Niu Fu was so powerful, but because of the duty of the guard, there was not much merit, and the battle of the Tiger Prison Pass was the most important, who wanted to stay in Xingyang at this time?

The scene was embarrassing again
