Chapter 68: Arrogance and Discord (3)
(The plot is in a smooth transition period, I hope you can bear with it, it will pass soon, plus I've been busy running around for the exam registration recently, and the update has also entered a smooth transition period - to put it bluntly, it's a day of one change, please forgive me, and then ask for votes!) ~)
"Proud enemy, can be between", although it is only a short four words, but Chen Gong, a smart person, of course, can see the meaning at a glance, in fact, he synthesized what he just said to Lu Bu, simplified and simplified, in fact, you can get these four words, so what Lu Bu said is not wrong.
However, on the other hand, some of the things that Lu Bu knew still didn't tell all of Chen Gong after all, such as those other arrangements for Li Ru outside, but it doesn't matter, I believe he will think of it later and be able to deduce it.
It's not that Lu Bu doesn't trust Chen Gong enough, it's just that as the "lord", he should also learn to use some basic imperial means, although Chen Gong has not yet admitted it verbally.
The plan has been decided, and then there will be a long waiting time, but Lu Bu does not feel apprehensive in his heart, perhaps because he has already had a bottom line in his heart, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were defeated in the tiger prison in history, and they want to change history but they don't necessarily have to force it this time, as long as they do their best, Lu Bu is still very open-minded at this point.
However, Lu Bu is open-minded, and he can't be open-minded on the side of Dong Lianjun, and after taking the Tiger Prison Pass, some problems that have not appeared before or that they have tried to avoid each other as much as possible will inevitably be exposed.
In fact, as early as when Sun Jian asked for the order to serve as the vanguard to raid the Tiger Prison Pass, Yuan Shu said that the reinforcements did not show any traces at all, that is to say, there was no intention to help him at all, and the previous words could almost be regarded as playing him, so when the contradictions of the coalition broke out, the first thing was Sun Jian's attack on Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu was his lord - he had declared earlier that he would follow Yuan Shu, but the previous time he was put on a table made him hold a grudge, and it made him see Yuan Shu completely clearly, and he had less extravagant hopes, Coupled with the death of his confidant, even if he is not a person who must be compared, he has no reason to let go when he gets the opportunity.
Of course, Sun Jian is also a fool, even if he wants to, he is reluctant to put himself in, the reason why he is so eager to come out this time is because Sun Jian accidentally found some letters in the Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that someone in the coalition army contacted the people of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the news that Sun Jian raided here as a pioneer before was also mastered by them.
Sun Jian is not a stupid person, so he saw these letters but didn't believe them at once, but he couldn't control the anger of his subordinate Han Dang, because of Zu Mao's death, Han Dang, the only one who didn't go to the palace at that time, blamed himself for a long time, and as a result, he ran to insult Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu not only did not admit it, but he even bit Sun Jian back, saying that he had told him to pay attention to him before, but he took the enemy so lightly that he missed a great opportunity to take the Tiger Prison Pass in advance.
So the two of them began to argue with each other, and no one was convinced, and the princes chose to remain silent in a unified and rational manner, leaving the ball to the alliance leader Yuan Shao to give him a headache.
Yuan Shao has the intention to take this opportunity to govern his own brothers, and it is not unusual for everyone to fight openly and secretly with each other, except that they are not on the table, but he must also take into account the feelings of Yuan Yi and others, after all, the influence of the clan concept of the family is not something he can challenge.
Thinking about it, but how do you feel a little difficult to deal with this kind of thing, it is almost impossible to be just and convincing without going against your heart, especially the contradictions placed on the table like Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, which are actually a small introduction, exposing all kinds of contradictions and entanglements of interests hidden among the princes.
And that's just the beginning......
After being forced out of the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuojun was stationed outside, but he had to retreat almost every day, a small retreat on three days, and a major retreat on the fifth day, and it didn't take long for him to withdraw from the line of sight of the coalition forces in the Tiger Prison Pass, and went to Surabaya Town and even Chenggao County.
During this period, the two armies also fought with each other, Dong Zhuojun also lost more and won less, speaking of small victories, but the losses were mostly heavy defeats to the point that the soldiers would flee, if at the beginning, the strategists under the princes of the coalition army still had doubts about this, but as Dong Zhuojun paid more and more costs for corpses, baggage, etc., even if they wanted to say that this was a bait, they really couldn't say it anymore, who fought to this Cheng dù, obviously it was already in a weak situation, but still have to do this kind of thing to fund the enemy and corrupt morale? …,
No one can figure it out, even Cao Cao can't figure it out, Dong Zhuojun's appearance seems to have a bit of a conspiracy, but when this kind of conspiracy has reached the point where they want to put all their net worth, everyone has to weigh the meaning of this.
Even the top strategists are not immortals, especially since they are only builders after all, and the princes are the masters who make decisions, when the interests in front of them are beyond the scope that can keep their minds calm, whether the strategists' suggestions can be listened to is only known to them.
In this regard, those high-IQ cattle who still maintain their sanity expressed enough worries, but there is no real use, after all, the current situation is to put it bluntly, it is their lord and the other party's strategists who are competing, and they can only hope in their hearts that they just think too much.
In fact, among Yuan Shao's entourage, a guy named Xu Yu was one of these strategists.
Many people look down on Xu You very much, thinking that he is greedy for money and does not have much real talent and learning, he only knows how to meet and slap horses, but Xu You's mind is not simple, and his vision is actually very vicious, otherwise could it be that he and Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others became friends just because of that illusory fate?
Of course, outsiders never care what they think of him, Xu Yu just needs to be optimistic about who he is with.
Xu You was really worried, in fact, Yuan Shao should be able to see many of them, but he couldn't resist the temptation, Xu You didn't dare to touch his moldy head, but he thought that if the guess was right, the result would be ...... It's worrying to think about.
Of course, there is more than one strategist in the coalition who thinks like this, but he dare not say what he can say, but he can't and has no chance to say it, and for the princes, it is no longer reason but desire to rule their heads, and perhaps it is when their disaster comes.
Of course, at least temporarily, a qiē looks very good, take over the Tiger Prison Pass, the coalition forces will begin to prepare to continue to advance westward, and go straight to Luoyang, of course, the Tiger Prison can not be lost lightly, this place is a strategic place, even if you are full of confidence, you can't be unprepared.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, after symbolically holding several military meetings with the princes, ignored the discordant factors such as Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, and finally everyone was barely able to reach an agreement, that is, to step up time to prepare, and the army marched into the capital, which is also their ultimate goal this time - Luoyang.
