Chapter 22 Sun Jian has to return to the Tiger Prison
However, it was said that the people and horses of the Eight Roads were gathered outside the camp, and the momentum was huge, and the princes of the Eight Roads were all lined up in front of the array, ready to standby.
In front of everyone, a high platform was temporarily erected, Yuan Shao stood on it, looked around the army with satisfaction, and said loudly: "In this battle of Tiger Pass, General Cao Mengde is the commander, Mr. Xu is the military advisor, and Wanger and others are all to assist, there must be no mistake!" ”
"No." The princes of the Eight Roads promised one after another.
Seeing this, Mo Shuyan's heart shook slightly, and he didn't understand why Yuan Shao handed over the important task so quickly not long after Xu Zisheng came, is there such a big gap between people?
As the military advisor of the princes of the Eighth Road, it is equivalent to directly commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, although there is the commander's moderation, the power is still boundless, killing a few people is like playing, just a trumped-up charge.
Fortunately, the boss is Cao Cao, who is still a strict person who governs the army, as long as he is careful and does not get caught by Xu Zisheng, he can still make Xu Zisheng powerful and have nowhere to go, which is also the reason why Mo Shuyan is willing to go with him.
"I'm here at the beginning, waiting for your good news, let's go!"
With Yuan Shao's order, the sound of horns sounded in the camp, deafening, making people's blood boiling, Cao Cao took the horse first, waved his hand, and the army marched in the direction of the Tiger Pass.
According to this, the Tiger Prison Pass is more than 30 miles, and the army marches during the day and rests at night under the condition that it must maintain its combat effectiveness, and it is estimated that it will take eight hours to arrive, so Mo Shuyan let the horses follow the march of the large army, close his eyes and recuperate.
Not far in front of him, Xu Zisheng, who was closely behind Cao Cao, turned his head and glanced at Mo Shuyan with a sneer, and said secretly in his heart: Since you want to be my enemy, then wait and see, the price of stopping me is death, complete death.
Although Mo Shuyan has not openly opposed Xu Zisheng's opinion, he just wants to cause Xu Zisheng to be ridiculed by the princes, but because of this, Xu Zisheng also knows that Mo Shuyan has made up his mind to fight against him.
Mo Shuyan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, felt the burning gaze behind him slightly, but he didn't care, his expression was still the same, he didn't mean to look back at each other, and quietly swayed up and down with the horse, quite leisurely.
Every move of the two of them was seen by Cao Cao, who just turned his head, and when he turned his head, Cao Cao's eyes were a little solemn, and he was slightly uneasy in his heart, Xu Zisheng's arrival seemed to add some major variables to the crusade, and Cao Cao had a hunch that Xu Zisheng would not seem willing to surrender to anyone.
learned from Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao that Xu Zisheng had never recognized Zhang Chao as the lord, and even Zhao Yun only obeyed Xu Zisheng's orders, if it weren't for the fact that these two people had a lot of effect on Zhang Chao, I am afraid that they would have been eliminated by Zhang Chao.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed in his heart, the Han family is now in danger because of Dong Thief, coupled with the ambitious Yuan Shao, the burden of supporting the Han family is almost unbearable, and now there is an incomprehensible Xu Zisheng, is it really the Han family of the Heavenly Death? So where do I go from here?
For the first time, Cao Cao had no clue what might happen in the future, and he seemed to be unable to see the future clearly.
The sky was slightly cool, and a faint breeze blew by, Cao Cao, Xu Zisheng, and Mo Shuyan had their own thoughts, and marched together with the army to the Tiger Prison Pass.
At this time, in the main camp, he did not calm down after the eight-way princes left with the army, but began to dismantle the camp, and the remaining seven-way princes were already concentrated in front of the camp, the first person, yellow robe and silver armor, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, was Yuan Shao Undoubtedly, at this time Yuan Shao's eyes looked in the direction of the departure of the eight-way princes, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yuan Shu, who was also dressed beside him, stared at Yuan Shao's back suspiciously, not understanding the reason why Yuan Shao gathered the army.
After sending away the Eighth Route Army, Yuan Shu received Yuan Shao's order not long after returning to the camp, and before quickly gathering the camp, he did not say why, but the suspicious Yuan Shu still chose to obey the order and ordered his army to assemble.
When Yuan Shu got out of the camp, he found that the soldiers and horses of the princes of the seven roads were gathered, Yuan Shu asked the other princes, but no one knew the reason, and when the army left the camp, Yuan Shao also sent people to start demolishing the camp, which made Yuan Shu and other princes even more puzzled, leaving no way back at all, is it planning to reinforce the Tiger Prison Pass? But the Tiger Prison Pass will not be piled up with all the troops, in case of failure, there is no help, this is a taboo for soldiers.
Yuan Shu, who couldn't figure out the reason anyway, frowned, patted his horse forward, and was about to ask what was going on, but Yu Guang found that a road of soldiers and horses came from the left, Yuan Shu immediately entered a state of alert, no longer moving forward, and with a wave of his big hand, all the soldiers lit up their weapons and looked to the left side one after another.
When the soldiers and horses approached this way, everyone found that it was Sun Jian who returned with soldiers and horses, compared to the time when he went out to fight in Bishui Pass, the number of people was almost half, and everyone was injured, even Sun Jian was no exception, Sun Jian was covered in blood, and his expression was quite frustrated.
Sun Jian had already seen the figures in front of the camp from a distance, frowning all the way and leading the troops to come, I don't know what happened in the main camp, do you plan to withdraw the army? Sun Jian's army, which fled in the wilderness, had lost its understanding of the changes in the current situation in a short period of time, and did not know that the princes of the Eighth Route had set out for the Tiger Prison Pass.
When Sun Jian's eyes fell on Yuan Shu, his eyes were instantly sharp, and a trace of blood red appeared in his eyes, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu not sending grain and grass, why would he be so defeated?
Suddenly, Sun Jian slapped the horse's back heavily, rode the horse and rushed to Yuan Shu's body, his eyes were like hungry eagles, his face was red with anger, his fingers were almost pointed at the bridge of Yuan Shu's nose, and he roared angrily: "I didn't care about my body in Bishui Pass against sharp arrows and flying stones, risking my life to rush to the pass, but you listened to the gluttonous words, did not send food and grass, and let my soldiers die!" How can you stay in the main camp with such peace of mind! ”
Seeing this, Yuan Shu was extremely frightened, and even the horses under the seat were shocked to take a few steps back, and the pale Yuan Shu replied with a fierce expression: "What does this battle have to do with me, it is all because of the villain's provocation, which led to the defeat of General Sun." ”
With a ruthless look, Yuan Shu drew his sword and slashed, the blood appeared, and the scribe in the gray robe behind him covered his bloody neck with a look of disbelief, fell his head down, fell heavily to the ground, his breath was gone, and the blood gradually flowed out from the corpse, and the two armor soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and dragged away the corpse's body.
Immediately, Yuan Shu calmed down a little, and said to Sun Jian apologetically: "Brother Wentai, the slanderer is dead, and I blame me for listening to the villain's words. ”
"You ......" Sun Jian was even more angry, and just wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but Yuan Shao's voice sounded beside him.
"That's enough, you still have to fight in Bishui Pass, what you are waiting for, we will talk about it later!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, Sun Jian had just suffered a big loss in Bishui Pass, and now that he had strengthened 50,000 elite soldiers, how could he still attack Bishui Pass? It's really unwise! However, although the princes were so dissatisfied, no one dared to question it.
After all, Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, and his younger brother Yuan Shu is by his side, not to mention that Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and other powerful princes went to the Tiger Prison Pass, and although Sun Jian returned, due to the great loss of troops, the right to speak was greatly reduced, and for a while, he did not dare to question it.
Sun Jian knew that Yuan Shao deliberately defended his younger brother, but now that he was losing his troops, he could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath, and angrily took the soldiers and horses to join the army of the princes of the Seven Roads.
For the performance of the princes, it seemed that Yuan Shao was expecting, and the smug look was undoubtedly on Yuan Shao's face.
Subsequently, seeing that the camp was basically demolished, Yuan Shao, looked solemn, waved his big hand, and took the lead in riding the horse, and the princes of the seven roads followed one after another, heading towards Bishui Pass.
