Marching to the distance, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun joined forces, and Lu Bu sent people to send Hua Xiong and other wounded people to rush forward, leaving the three of them side by side and slowly riding to the Tiger Prison Pass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"How?" Zhang Liao wrapped his eyes around Lu Bu and Gao Shun's shoulders excitedly, "My plan is good, right?" ”

Gao Shun was still full of doubts: "Why don't you just kill them at the ambush place?" ”

Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun with disdain and said, "You didn't listen at all when we had a meeting!" I had a meeting to sleep again, and I said why didn't I hear any bad ideas from you, deduct your salary! ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Gao Shun said with a smile to the two of them, "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Zhang Liao said, "Now the people who follow us to defend the Tiger Prison Pass are all from Bingzhou all the way to here, in addition to my headquarters in Xiliang, plus Wei Xu, Song Xian and other generals are also old men in the Bingzhou army, these people can be said to be labeled by us, our own soldiers and horses, how can they be used so casually to fight this kind of meaningless battle." ”

"What's pointless? You can kill Sun Jian and Cao Cao! ”

"Idiot, when the fight starts, the scene is so chaotic, people can't keep it if they want to escape, okay?"

"Oh......"

Zhang Liao continued: "Since this is the case, it is better to save our own troops, rescue Huaxiong peacefully, and wait until Dong Zhuo has raised enough troops to send them to the Tiger Prison Pass, and then let those soldiers fight a war of attrition, and then we can save our own troops." ”

Gao Shun nodded again.

Lu Bu said with a little hesitation: "You don't need to be so clear!" ”

Zhang Liao's face was silent, but his heart was low, and what was even more strange was that he replied as if he was nothing: "This is called precision, do you understand accurately, why am I so stubborn in using soldiers?" It's because of precision! ”

"Loaded again. Force! ”

“****！”

One big battle has ended, and another big battle is about to start in front of the three of them, but at this time they still look like they don't know it, laughing and playing back to the tiger prison.

"Brother Wentai, what's the situation?" Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu's army was leaving in a hurry, and he didn't dare to lead the army to chase after him, who didn't know the situation, so he could only lead the army to Sun Jian and ask him.

"It's a shame to say that Lu Bu saved Hua Xiong, and almost took his own life, and I want to thank Brother Meng De for his life." Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao in front of him, although Cao Cao had been here for a long time, Sun Jian still couldn't believe that there were still people in the allied army who were willing to save him, Sun Jian knew in his heart that Cao Cao could have pretended not to see it, let Lu Bu destroy him, and then go back to tell everyone that he had been ambushed and died, no one would doubt his words at all, but he still came, Sun Jian's heart couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao.

"Hmm......" Cao Cao heard that it was Lu Bu and left Huaxiong, but he was a little distracted, "Fengxian, I haven't seen you for a long time......"

The two counted it, and after a while, the armies of the other princes also came, and they were very sorry to hear the news that Hua Xiong was left by Lu Bu, but who knows if they are secretly happy in their hearts, although they did not catch Hua Xiong, but neither did Sun Jian and Cao Cao! As the saying goes, not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality, it is surprisingly consistent with the mentality of the princes at this time.

"In that case, then let's return to Bishui Pass, and after finishing the chores, we will go out together, compared to the Tiger Prison Pass, Huaxiong is just a minutiae." Beihai Taishou Kong Rong said.

The crowd had no reason to object, and they packed up their troops and began to return to Bishui Pass.

Tao Qian is a lot older, and he is still leading the army all night, and he is not in a very good mood when he sees that in the end, everyone returns in vain.

This attack on Bishui Pass, most of them are Tao Qian's strength, he sent his Danyang soldiers in the most elite group of people, in the end almost half of the loss, most of them died in the frontal battle with the defenders when defending the city gate, a small part was bumped into by Huaxiong Li Su in the pass, these elite training can not be obtained in a day or two, it can be said that this time Tao Qian's loss has made him a little distressed, but the final harvest is the biggest Cao Cao, so Tao Qian's heart is inevitably a little mustard.

In the morning light, when the princes returned to Bishui Pass, the soldiers of the coalition army had not had time to clean up the houses and tents that were destroyed by the fire in the pass, but only temporarily set up some simple tents outside the pass for people to rest, and the soldiers who had not slept all night still could not rest at the moment, and they were still packing up and carrying the abandoned tents and corpses in the pass, and completely cleaned up the site for the army to station. I guess I'll have to tweak and set it up here.

"It's been a hard night, everyone." Yuan Shao stood in front of the big tent and said to the returning princes, "I have already ordered someone to set up a tent, and you can go and rest at any time. ”

The princes also responded with their fists clasped together: "Thank you, Lord of the Alliance." ”

"Hahaha......" Yuan Shao smiled politely.

As the days of becoming the leader of the alliance became longer and longer, during this time, Yuan Shao felt more and more that his status among the princes of the Eighteenth Route had risen significantly, why didn't Yuan Shao go to pursue Huaxiong this time? It's because his identity is different now, originally Yuan Shao planned to send troops to pursue Huaxiong when he heard that others had sent troops to pursue Huaxiong last night, but when he was about to leave, Yuan Shao thought about it, what were those princes chasing Huaxiong for? Isn't it just to add some credit to yourself, so that you can have more benefits when the war is over? I am the one who gives them a reward for their deeds. I'm the leader of the alliance!

Yuan Shao immediately disbanded the army at that time and asked them to tidy up and clean up the battlefield in the pass, his heart was full of superior self-satisfaction, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in commanding the world. \u000b"How many people in the world can drive the princes of the world to their own use? ”

Yuan Shao found that in many princes unconsciously, he was imperceptibly accustomed to Yuan Shao's orders, and he had faintly raised Yuan Shao's status in his heart to a higher level, just waiting for the end of the war, Yuan Shao relied on the experience of this alliance, at least it was also recognized as the first prince in people's hearts, at this time Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel very satisfied that he was elected as the leader of the alliance, although when the alliance was dissolved, the rest of the princes could not obey him, but at least the attitude towards him was much better, whether it was diplomacy or other exchanges, will take advantage of a lot.

"If Meng De had become the leader of the alliance at that time, what would it have been like?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but recall that his night in Cao Cao's tent was tantamount to a rupture.

"Alas......" Yuan Shao sighed, "Meng De, we have embarked on this road of hegemony and will never be able to turn back......"

After the princes settled their army, they immediately went back to their tents to rest, especially Sun Jian and Cao Cao had been working all night, in this night their bodies did not stop for a moment, their brains were running at high speed all the time, even the iron body could not support it, and they soon fell asleep when they returned to the tent.

At this time, almost all of the coalition troops in Bishui Pass were resting and adjusting, but there was still one person who did not rest.

Liu Bei did not participate in last night's operation, neither absorbed the army, nor pursued Hua Xiong, he knew that even if he collected the army, it would be useless, and he would not get credit for pursuing Hua Xiong, because he was not a prince, he did not have his own territory, he was just an ordinary general who came from Gongsun Zhan.

Of course, Liu Bei was not discouraged, at this time, he seemed to be very satisfied with his current situation, he always felt that he was able to go all the way from the straw shoe seller in Zhuo County to achieve the current achievement is a big leap, but of course Liu Bei will not be satisfied with this achievement, from the beginning of his journey to conquer the Yellow Turban, unconsciously, his vision is no longer the Liu Bei who sold seats and shoes back then, and like the princes in the alliance army at this moment, Liu Bei is also thinking about improving his strength all the time.

"Big brother, gather our brothers together late at night, but what's the big deal?"

At this time, Liu Bei set up some wine and food in the middle of the tent, and also found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, no wonder Guan Yu asked, now that the whole army is recuperating after the war, Liu Bei suddenly called the two of them to have something to say.

"That's it, big brother, what happened?"

Sensing that Liu Bei might be about to say something important, Zhang Fei deliberately controlled his usual thunderous voice within the normal range.

Liu Bei said with a solemn face: "I don't hide it from the two virtuous brothers, I did discover a great event for my brother." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's faces were full of surprise.

"It's a big deal, Bo Jue is my childhood classmate, and I didn't dare to tell him, I can only tell the two brothers," Liu Bei observed the movement outside the tent, and said in a deep voice, "The virtuous brother must not leak out, I am afraid that he will be killed." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded and said, "We are very serious, brother, please rest assured." ”

Liu Bei said with confidence: "What I want to say for my brother is what I have discovered in the past few days when I entered the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Road. ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu asked in shock, "But what about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao?" ”

"That's right." Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu appreciatively, "The second brother really found out." ”

The red on Guan Yu's face deepened a little, and said, "I just think that something is wrong with them in the past few days, but I don't know what the specific place is boring, or listen to the analysis of the eldest brother." ”

"I don't understand what it is!" Zhang Fei's mind couldn't turn around, but he knew that Liu Bei and Guan Yu were talking about some twists and turns, which was what he was not good at and was most reluctant to touch, if it weren't for this, Zhang Fei would also be a side branch of the scholar clan, no matter how bad it was, he would not have to rely on the slaughtering business to maintain expenses, you must know that the status of businessmen is the lowest in the Han Dynasty, and it is good to have an industry like Zhang Fei, and the most bitter are those foot merchants, obviously the wealth in his hands is enough to worry about food and clothing, But everywhere he goes, he is looked down upon.

"Hehehehe......" Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei and laughed, "It's really strange, it is said that among the three of our brothers, Shuyide is the most educated, and the calligraphy is all excellent, but I didn't expect to be so numb to conspiracy." ”

"Yide is the real elegant person, and of course those laymen will not take the fight of the vulgar to heart." Guan Yu also took this opportunity to joke that Guan Yu, who always had a proud and cold face in front of people, only took off his mask and guard when the three brothers got together, revealing his truest side.

"Oops! Don't make fun of me," Zhang Fei looked embarrassed, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Isn't there something important for the eldest brother?" ”

"Well, I forgot about business." Liu Bei hurriedly said.

"The first thing that makes me suspicious is the battle in which Sun Jian Taishou was defeated by Huaxiong at the beginning because of lack of food."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Indeed, even my old Zhang can see that although at first I thought that Yuan Shu's heart was not right, but now when I hear my eldest brother mention it, it is indeed not only that Yuan Shu is greedy and wants to swallow grain and grass privately, but it is also impossible that what he said is a grain official deduction, it is simply nonsense." ”

Liu Bei laughed again: "Yide can see that something is wrong, there must be a huge hidden secret." ”

Guan Yu said: "Yes-"

Zhang Fei feigned anger and said: "You all teased me, and now I won't open my mouth anymore." ”

Liu Bei suppressed the smile on his face, and then said to the two: "At first, I was also a little skeptical, but I wasn't sure what Yuan Shu's purpose was. ”

Guan Yu said, "When did that brother start to know Yuan Shu's purpose?" ”

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said, "It's the day the second brother defeated Hua Xiong." ”

"Oh?" Guan Yu asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" On that day, Hua Xiong came to look for battle, except for the first general named Yu Yu, who was a subordinate of Yuan Shu, he didn't do anything else! ”

Zhang Fei also looked at Liu Bei with a puzzled expression.

"I didn't understand it from Yuan Shu," Liu Bei said in surprise, "but Yuan Shao." ”

"What?"

"That's right." Liu Bei once again subconsciously looked at the surroundings of the tent to see if there was anything unusual, "The two virtuous brothers, do you still remember what Yuan Shao said before Hua Xiong beheaded two generals in a row?" ”

"......," Zhang Fei pondered for a moment, "He said that it was a pity that his two generals, Yan Liangwen Chou, were not there?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Bei slapped his thigh, "This is the sentence that reminded me." ”

"At that time, Yuan Shao mentioned his two generals, and I immediately subconsciously thought about what generals he brought with him as the leader ......of the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo this time."

"As a result, none of the famous generals under him are there!"

"Hah!" Zhang Fei suddenly shouted, Liu Bei and Guan Yu hurriedly made a silent gesture to him nervously, Zhang Fei also reacted and whispered: "I just said that I can't see any powerful characters under him!" ”

"But what does this have to do with Yuan Shu?" Guan Yu was still puzzled.

"Second brother, don't worry," Liu Bei said, "What do you think of Yu She's martial arts under Yuan Shu?" ”

"With that skill, I can beat ten with one hand!" Zhang Fei talked about what he was good at, and immediately his eyebrows fluttered.

Guan Yu also shook his head slightly.

"That's right!" Liu Bei began to analyze in detail, "You think, Yuan Shao is obviously the leader of this crusade against Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo is not easy to match, not to mention anything else, even the Hua Xiong we met at the beginning is not easy to deal with, although this person is not a top master in martial arts, but he is good at leading the army to fight, even when the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian has enough food and grass, he may not be able to defeat him steadily, how can Yuan Shao not even bring a famous general?" Look at Yuan Shu again, what kind of skills Hua Xiong is, and what kind of skills Yu Shi is, but anyone who has fought can see that Yu Shi will definitely not be Hua Xiong's opponent, but Yuan Shu sent him out, why is this? Looking at Pan Feng who came on the field later, it is different from the previous generals under Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, I am in Zhuo County with the Yide family, and I have heard of his prestige under Han Fu before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, why did such a famous general Han Fu bring it? ”

"So I have a bold idea," Liu Bei took a deep breath, "Yuan Shao must have deliberately provoked the generals at that time, hoping to get rid of those famous generals in the hands of the princes with the help of Hua Xiong." ”

Guan Yu was completely stunned by Liu Bei's words at this time, and was speechless for a long time.

"At first, this was just a conjecture, until the second brother volunteered to kill Hua Xiong, but Yuan Shao was unwilling in every way, and even after finally agreeing, he was displeased, and then I could be sure that this was Yuan Shao's plan."

Liu Bei continued.

"It's not just Yuan Shao who has this kind of plan, but also Yuan Shu, so he deliberately hurt Sun Jian at the beginning, he deliberately wanted to treat Sun Jian to death, and this attack on Bishui Pass, there was no need to make such a big move, but Yuan Shu deliberately burned and killed after entering the pass, especially deliberately set fire, as if he was afraid that the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass would not find out, their behavior is too obscure, if they didn't have this idea to see what happened in the past few days, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to see it at all."

"It's so ......" Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's explanation, and was unexpectedly distracted for a while.

"So the two brothers Yuan Shao are not good things, and they want to harm others by attacking Dong Zhuo!" Zhang Fei said indignantly.

"So can't anyone else see it? The princes who have lost should have been alert, right? Guan Yu asked.

"It's hard to say, after all, our foundation is too shallow, no one will discuss this matter with us, and I don't dare to go around and tell people that we can't afford the revenge of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu," Liu Bei's face was full of shame and grievances, "But third brother, what you said is not entirely right, which of the eighteen princes did not come with their own interests, but their plans were not as big as the two Yuan Shao brothers, and these two people may not join forces, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both want to inherit the position of the head of the Yuan family, strictly speaking, they are still opponents, If it weren't for the danger of the family's survival, it would be impossible for them to join forces, and now it was just a matter of complementarity and interference. ”

"I don't believe you can look at this," Liu Bei pointed to the map hanging on the wall of the tent, "Yuan Shao is mainly weakening the strength of the princes of Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, etc., this is the sphere of influence he wants to develop in the future, and Yuan Shu is trying his best to harm Sun Jian, it can be seen that Yuan Shu wants to develop south, alas...... In fact, the real power is still the Yuan family, the two brothers are one south and one north, they can almost control the entire world, no matter who wins or loses in the future when the two fight, the final winner is the Yuan family. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded at the same time: "It's really terrifying." ”

"Youzhou? Isn't that Gongsun Chan also their target? Zhang Fei suddenly exclaimed.

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded bitterly, "But I have no way to inform him, and I have no way to stop Yuan Shao's plan." ”

"That'...... What should we do? Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei's face was heavy: "Actually, the main reason for calling you here today is for this matter." ”

I saw that he hesitated for a long time, and only said intermittently for a long time: "I'm afraid, the two brothers can't fight at will anymore in the future, after all, the last time the second brother defeated Hua Xiong, he had already destroyed Yuan Shao's plan, and if there is a next time, it may bring disaster to us." ”

"Bang!"

"Is this Yuan Shao so domineering?"

Zhang Fei slammed his fist on the table, his face full of indignation.

"I'm afraid that's the only way...... Guan Yu said unwillingly, "Damn, it's too aggrieved." ”

"Alas......" Liu Bei also sighed, "The situation is stronger than people, and now we have no strength to compete with Yuan Shao, so we can only choose to bow our heads." ”

For a while, the mood of the three of them was much lower, and Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in front of him.

"They are born to be invincible brave generals, and at this time, they should have led an army with infinite scenery and crisscrossed the battlefield, but now they follow themselves and even go into battle to kill the enemy, and the opportunity to show themselves depends on people's faces......"

Liu Bei secretly clenched his fists.

"Brothers, I, Liu Bei, must make you a general admired by everyone, and let everyone in the whole world know your prestige!"
