Chapter 31 The hearts of the people are back

In the first battle of Tiger Pass, the 30,000 troops dispatched by the coalition army paid nearly half of the losses, including the most elite white horse volunteers.

Although Yuan Shao had just come to his senses, Gongsun Zan was annoyed that he dropped the chain at the critical moment, did not hide it, and directly reported the battle damage to Yuan Shao, which was the result of Bai Ma Yicong's desperate blocking, otherwise it would not be easy for the 30,000 troops to escape back 10,000, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry was suddenly boundless under the leadership of Lu Bu.

Since the alliance of the princes, except for Ye Zhao captured Huaxiong, almost never asked for any benefits, this time Yuan Shao led an army of 30,000 to attack, originally wanted to cause oppression to the Tiger Pass, but who would have thought that even the city wall was not touched, it was defeated by others, Yuan Shao felt that the grievances of his life were concentrated in the past few days, after Gongsun Chan reported the battle damage, he did not slow down in one breath, rolled his eyes, and fainted again.

"A bunch of rubbish who only know how to tout!" Coming out of Yuan Shao's big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Chan spat fiercely in the direction of the camp.

At this time, instead of thinking about how to fight, he began to condemn him for not saying so bluntly, as if Yuan Shao fainted and was angry with himself, and the angry Gongsun Chan almost didn't do anything directly.

"My lord, my white horse Yicong has suffered heavy losses, why don't you resign to the alliance leader, and say that I will go back to Youzhou to recuperate and retrain my soldiers?" Tian Yu looked at Gongsun Zhan and said.

This time, the princes will meet to discuss Dong, except for the princes who were directly destroyed, Gongsun Chan suffered the greatest casualties, and the inaction of the coalition army, the performance of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, and the other princes' faces as if they owed them, not only disappointed Gongsun Zhan, but also the soldiers under his command were also quite resentful.

But if there are one or two princes who can cooperate with Gongsun Chan yesterday, the coalition army will not be defeated so badly, Bai Ma Yi will never lose a lot, and what is even more hateful is the attitude of the princes before, originally Gongsun Chan tried his best to recover the loss, but after coming back, not only no one comforted him, but one by one he was as cold as they owed them.

"It's good!" Gongsun Zhan nodded fiercely, and when he thought of the faces of Qiao Mao and Liu Dai's group before, the anger in his heart went straight up, and he stopped fighting this battle.

On the same day, Gongsun Chan directly packed up, led the remnants of the White Horse Yicong, left a letter to Yuan Shao, and left directly, Cao Cao learned that he wanted to chase Gongsun Chan back, but was stopped by a group of princes.

"Why should Mende ignore him? I thought I had a little merit, so I looked at us coldly, these people, just leave, is it possible that without him Gongsun Zhan, we can't fight? Liu Dai and Zhang Miao grabbed Cao Cao and said with disdain.

Scold~

Cao Cao glanced at the people in the tent, as well as Yuan Shao, who was above the main seat, who was silent, and suddenly felt an unspeakable depression in his heart, the one who could fight was killed, and the other was forced to leave, and now the last one has also left, and then fight with Dong Zhuo, what to fight? Just these uncles who don't even want to go to the battlefield?

Even if you chase it at this moment, Gongsun Zhan's department is all cavalry, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up.

Yuan Shao coughed lightly and looked at everyone: "Dong thief slaughtered Zhongliang, people and gods are angry, if this thief is not removed, we will have no way to live, but this tiger prison is closed...... cough cough~ There are fierce generals like Lu Bu to guard the town, and there are Xiliang Iron Cavalry as their arm help, in a hurry, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through, I don't know what good strategies you have to break the thief? ”

"Alliance Leader!" Everyone looked at each other, they had seen the power of Lu Bu yesterday, and it was a little difficult for them to face Lu Bu again, Tao Qian hesitated, stepped forward and said: "My army is stationed here, it has already attracted the attention of Dong thief, the defense of Yique and Xuanyuan is bound to be weak, and now our army is newly defeated, morale is low, and it cannot be forcibly recruited. ”

Cao Cao frowned immediately when he heard this, this was retreating, and he hugged his fists and said: "Alliance leader, if you want Ye Hou to break through Xuanyuan, I will wait here to continue to step up the offensive, only the harder this tiger fights, the attention of the Dong thief will be on this side, and then the two passes of Xuanyuan and Yique will have a chance to break the city, if our army does not move, how to make the Dong thief pay attention?" ”

"Meng De's words are wrong!" Tao Qian said with a smile: "The combined manpower of Yique and Xuanyuan is only 50,000, and I have 200,000 troops here, so how can Dong Zhuo sit idly by?" ”

An army of 200,000? Which?

Gongsun Zan is gone, Sun Jian is dead, plus a defeat, the 200,000 army is probably not enough now, and there are not a few fierce futures, what is the use of having more people?

With the strength of the tiger prison and the danger of the terrain, in fact, the number of troops that can be invested in the tiger prison at one time is only about 30,000, if they all fight like yesterday, let alone 200,000, two million will not be able to take others, not to mention, Tao Qian has made up his mind to scare the enemy to death by numbers, and he has lived so much, and Cao Cao has heard of such a war for the first time.

When the other princes heard this, they also nodded in praise, and Cao Cao wanted to say something more, but he heard a deafening shout of killing suddenly from outside the camp, followed by a riot all over the camp.

"What's going on out there?" Yuan Shao's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up and said.

"Enlighten the Alliance Leader, yes...... It was Lu Bu who stole the camp and robbed the village! Tao Qian's commander Cao Bao came in in a panic and said with a sad face.

"Stealing camps and robbing villages?" Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this, and scolded: "In this broad daylight, you said that Lu Bu stole the camp and robbed the village? How did he steal it? ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Cao Bao glanced at Yuan Yi helplessly and said: "Naishanyang Taishou's big tent was robbed, and Lu Bu drove the defeated army around and rushed into our army camp. ”

"What!?" When Yuan Yi heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly ran outside the camp, and the others also hurriedly got up and ran outside the tent.

I saw that in the camp, many places have been ignited by fires, and among the coalition troops who are scattered and fleeing, but I saw a team of cavalry constantly galloping and rushing in the chaotic army.

"Lu thief deceives people too much!" Yuan Shao looked at Lu Bu who was galloping back and forth in the crowd with a pale face, scolded, pointed his sword at Lu Bu and said, "Who killed this thief with me?" ”

The princes were afraid of Lu Bu's might, but no one dared to respond, seeing Lu Bu galloping in the crowd, this time it was not the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, but the Xiliang under the command of Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Shao saw that no one agreed, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that my general Yan Liangwen is not here, but there is one person here, why are you afraid of Lu Bu?" ”

When the princes heard this, they continued to be silent, and no one dared to resist Lu Bu in the huge coalition army.

Under Cao Cao, the Xiahou brothers, the Cao family brothers wanted to step forward, but they were stopped by Cao Cao, these princes didn't do anything, they only talked about the scriptures all day long, and scolded Dong Zhuo together, and those who had a little merit were excluded by them, Sun Jian, Ye Zhao, and now Gongsun Zhan, and now there are Gongsun Zhan, and these people should be allowed to increase their memory, on this battlefield, the most useless thing is the scriptures, and it is impossible for anyone to come here to discuss the scriptures with you.

Lu Bu led the army to rush and kill for a while, and when he saw that no one came to stop him, he was also happy and relaxed, and after leaving a corpse, he took eight thousand Xiliang iron horses and rode away, and it was only at this time that the princes breathed a sigh of relief.

Just looking at the messy battlefield, the princes were speechless.

The 200,000 army was robbed by Lu Bu in such broad daylight, although it was not completely defeated, but let Lu Bu lead 8,000 iron cavalry, and it came and went freely in this 200,000 army, which made many people realize the importance of a fierce general to an army for the first time.

After returning to the military tent, the atmosphere has obviously become a little different, although the battle damage has not yet been settled, but the princes and the alliance, 200,000 soldiers and horses let Lu Bu kill in, no one dares to resist, if this matter spreads, the face of the coalition army or something, don't want it.

"Meng De, why don't I wait and invite that Gongsun Boqi back now?" Liu Dai looked at Cao Cao with some embarrassment.

What did you do earlier?

Cao Cao was angry, if Gongsun Chan didn't leave, even if the coalition army was weak, it would be a systematically trained war, as long as Gongsun Chan could involve Lu Bu, even if it was a good death.

It's just that these people didn't look down on Gongsun Chan before, and even spoke ill of each other, but now that they see Lu Bu's power, they suddenly begin to miss Gongsun Chan a little, at least they really dare to fight.

What did you do earlier?

Cao Cao was a little depressed in his heart, shook his head and said: "Bo Jue is angry and left, with his temperament, I am afraid that no matter who comes forward at this moment, it will not be useful!" ”

Even if he is recalled, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses are scattered, how can he compete with Lu Bu? As for the princes, hehe, these people will be willing to hand over the military power in their hands?

"If that Lu Bu attacks our army like this every day in the future, how should our army respond?" Qiao Mao frowned.

This is also the problem that everyone is most worried about, Lu Bu launched an offensive in broad daylight without warning, and he succeeded in stealing the camp, and if it goes on like this, before Ye Zhao and Yuan Shu break through the two levels, they will have to be scrapped by Lu Bu's style of play first.

"For today's plan, the only way is to strengthen the defense, and not give Na Lu Bu a chance to take advantage of it." Cao Cao sighed and said: "The other is to defend and attack, in fact, our army should attack, but now it is mainly Lu Bu's anti-guest, if you can't surround the tiger prison pass, then Lu Bu is all cavalry, as long as you get out of the tiger prison pass, you can launch an attack at any time, which is even more disadvantageous to our army!" ”

When the princes heard this, they chose to be silent again, in this way, they had to do it, Tao Qian and the others looked at Yuan Shao unconsciously, no matter how much they said, Yuan Shao was the master of this alliance, and this kind of thing should be decided by Yuan Shao.

"It's okay, just according to Mende's words!" Yuan Shao stood up a little depressed and said, "You need to set up camps, arrange defenses, and don't let Na Lu Bu succeed again!" ”

"Whoa!"
