Chapter 48: Dissolution of the Coalition
"Lord Yuan's words are wrong." Sun Jian raised his head and said: "Now that Dong thieves are going west, it is when they are exhausted and lonely, and the 150,000 troops of our Kwantung Coalition Army are gathered here. ”
"General Wentai's words are really a theory of seeking the country, please raise a strong army in the public, take advantage of the situation to move westward, and kill Dong thief, then my Han family can prosper." Cao Cao was the first to jump out and shouted excitedly.
Han Lie knew that these princes would definitely not respond, but it was obviously important to express his position at this time, although it may not be beneficial to the moment, but it was very important for his reputation, so he would not care about Han Fu's eyes at all, and stepped forward and said: "Although Lie is not talented, he is willing to take the position of a pioneer and make it public." ”
Bao Xin followed and echoed: "It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the country, and I believe that I have no regrets if I die." ”
"The generals are really models of the country, and Shao is deeply respected." Although Yuan Shao was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show any expression on his face, but praised Han Lie and the others with a smile on his face, and turned to Yuan Shu: "Highway, I don't know how much grain and grass is left in the army?" Will it be able to support the westward march of the army? ”
Although Yuan Shu usually disdains Yuan Shao's concubine, but in the matter of whether to protect the Han family, the two of them are on the united front, that is, Yang Feng Yin is violated, because they have their own thoughts about each other, Yuan Shao intends to nominate Youzhou Mu Liu You to succeed the emperor, and Yuan Shu actually has another heart, and he has not yet made a decision, but at this time, the two brothers of the Yuan family, in fact, think that the little emperor Liu Xie is really difficult to support the position of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
If it is said that at this time, the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers have the ambition to establish themselves as emperors, I am afraid that they have also wronged them, but to say that they are loyal to the little emperor, it is obviously unlikely.
As soon as Yuan Shu heard Yuan Shao's words, he already understood that Yuan Shao had no intention of going west, in fact, he had no intention of going west, so he immediately said: "Now the grain and grass in the army have been less than a month, although there is surplus grain in various places, but this back and forth transportation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. ”
This will be Yuan Shao's eyes to show that Hanoi is too guarded by Wang Kuang, the Shangdang is too guarded by Zhangyang, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan Yi, and Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongxuan has spoken, saying that if the soldiers and horses are grain and grass, it is really difficult to advance westward, and it is better to wait for the harvest of grain and grass in the autumn to meet Dong again.
Seeing that most of the number of people opposed the westward expansion, Cao Cao, who was hesitant to Tao Qian and Kong Rong, and who had more than enough strength but not enough strength, was angry and said: "The erection is not enough, although the public can drink and sing, it is okay to go." ”
Cao Cao now has less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, although he has the intention to make meritorious contributions, but there is no one to support him, and even the rich man Wei Zi, who supported him in Chen Liu, died in the battle of Bianshui, and now he wants no people, no money, no wonder he will be disheartened and leave.
"Hmph, since the princes don't want to go west, they will go back to their hometowns to recruit troops and fight again." Bao Xin saw Cao Cao leaving, and left with a cold snort.
"What Cao Mengde said is very true, although the princes came to the alliance, but they did not make an inch, where did the so-called come from, I knew in my heart that since the food and grass were scarce, it was useless to leave the army, so it was better to disband." Sun Jian also stood up with an angry face, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"Wentai left in such a hurry, could it be that there is another hidden secret." Just as Sun Jian turned around and left, Yuan Shao's eyes froze, and he asked something in his words.
"What did I mean by that?" Sun Jian's eyes were cold, and he looked sideways at Yuan Shao and asked.
"Originally, I didn't want to say this in public, but since Wentai insisted on leaving, if he didn't hand over the jade seal of the country, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to say it, right?" Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian without fear, as for why he knew that Sun Jian got the jade seal, naturally someone in Sun Jian's army secretly reported it to him, originally he was still a little suspicious, but when he saw that Sun Jian was leaving, he announced it in public.
"Yuan Benchu, Hugh wants to spew blood, you said that I got the jade seal of the country, can anyone testify?" Although Sun Jian's voice was calm, his face was already angry.
"If you want someone to testify, I naturally have it." Yuan Shao stroked his palms with an expression of wisdom beads in his hand and said, "Come here, bring someone to come up." ”
Soon four armored soldiers came to the door of the main hall with a sergeant, and when they saw the sergeant's face, Sun Jian looked at each other with a cold expression, but he didn't ask questions.
The sergeant who was brought up by the sergeant, seeing Sun Jian's cold gaze and the gazes cast by the princes in the main hall, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he knelt down and shouted: "Lord Yuan Meng, save me, the little one doesn't want gold......
Han Lie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly rushed out with an arrow step, slashing through the sergeant's neck, and the sharp seven-star treasure knife instantly cut off the opponent's neck, and the sergeant who was kneeling on the ground covered his neck with both hands, and fell down with remorse and unwillingness.
"Such shameless villains' words must not be trusted, Yuan Meng's master must not fall for the enemy's plan, and cause his own people to fight among themselves." Han Lie didn't look at the dead corpse at his feet, and said calmly.
"You, good, good ......" Yuan Shao stared at Han Lie with an angry face, he originally wanted to shout armor, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Han Fu's nervous expression, and Sun Jian, who was holding the hilt of his sword, was standing only ten steps away from him at the moment, worried that if he was in a hurry, he would put himself in danger, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Lie angrily turned around and walked out.
"Ziyang, you, alas, look at the good things you have done, don't go back with me." Han Fu saw that Yuan Shao was gone, so he stood up, just now Han Lie suddenly shot to kill someone, he was really startled, so that he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Uncle, the general trend of the coalition is gone, and we should pack up and go back to Jizhou." Han Lie didn't look at the faces of the other princes, and whispered to Han Fu, before he said, "I'll send General Sun off, and I'll return to the camp later." ”
"You ......" Han Fu's face obviously flashed a trace of unhappiness, but when he saw Sun Jian's gaze, he silently turned around and walked out.
This kung fu, as soon as the princes got up, most of them had a little unhappy expressions, obviously Han Lie's sudden attack made them miss a good show, and it also made the doubts in their hearts difficult to let go.
"Ziyang Xian nephew, take care!" Tao Qian and Kong Rong walked forward, said hello to Han Lie and left.
Outside the south gate of Luoyang, Sun Jian patted Han Lie's shoulder when he got on the horse, and said with emotion: "There are very few young people in the world who can compete with Ziyang, but I am afraid that there are very few. ”
"General Miao." Han Lie smiled humbly and said, "The general's daughter must be a daughter, and Lie is afraid that she is not worthy of it." However, the general's upright temperament is certainly an advantage, but it will also become the weakness of the general. ”
"Haha, my nature is like this, I'm afraid I can't change it." Sun Jian laughed, flew on his horse and said, "There will be a period later!" ”
Han Lie nodded, looked at the back of Sun Jian leading the team away, and sighed slightly: "I'm afraid that this will be indefinite." ”
Sun Jian, who was riding on horseback, looked back after walking a distance, and saw Han Lie who was still standing at the gate of the city, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly pulled out his horse and returned.
"General Sun......" Seeing Sun Jian returning from a horse, although Han Lie was surprised, he still greeted him.
"This is for you, it should be regarded as the dowry I left for the little girl, if eighteen years later, Ziyang is willing to marry the little girl and bring this dowry to come, a certain grandson will definitely respond to this family business." Sun Jian took out a small package from his arms and handed it to his hand, and after saying these inexplicable words, Pegasus chased after the team again.
"No, my daughters under the age of one are all married to you, it seems that the handsome man is likable." Dian Wei listened carefully to the conversation between Han Lie and Sun Jian from beginning to end, and at this moment, looking at Sun Jian's back again, he couldn't help but mutter.
For Sun Jian's inexplicable decision, Han Lie could only say that he was speechless, and when he heard Dian Wei's muttering, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, but when he held the package in the palm of his hand, his eyelids couldn't help jumping.
Although he hadn't seen the items in the package yet, Han Lie had a faint feeling that the item that Sun Jian gave him was afraid that it was the heirloom jade seal engraved with 'Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity'.
"Could it be that he gave this thing to himself in return because of my help in the main hall just now?" Han Lie hesitated to himself and put the package in his hand into his arms, but as for whether this was Sun Jian's true intention, he couldn't figure it out.
And Sun Jian, who will return to the team, turned around again, looking at Han Lie, who had already turned around, but his heart was slightly relieved: "How can I not know the truth that the husband is not guilty of his crimes?" But this jade seal of the country is an important weapon of the country, how can I hand it over to a selfish person like Yuan Benchu? Now that it is handed over to Ziyang for safekeeping, it is better for someone to bear this notoriety, so that at least the important weapon of this country can be preserved. ”
The reason that prompted Sun Jian to make such a decision was Han Lie's performance in fighting side by side with him, as well as his assistance in the Nangong Palace, which made Sun Jian realize that although Han Lie was young, he was a person who dared to take responsibility and had the courage to do things.
Especially the scene of sending each other in front of him, the more than a dozen princes of the alliance, only Han Lie sent him alone, which made Sun Jian feel warm and cold, but also more aware of Han Lie's extraordinary, so he went and returned to hand over the jade seal of the country to Han Lie, which has rewards, gratitude, and the meaning of a good fate.
