Yuan Shu ordered the soldiers to put the newly arrived grain into storage, but the armory was still empty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Yuan Shu was not a person who gave up without authorization, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of all the soldiers and generals in the battalion.
The whereabouts of the grain and weapons are unknown, but on the contrary, a large number of corruption incidents have been discovered, involving personnel who account for 40 percent of the generals in the battalion, and these people have used their power to sell grain and weapons to obtain a large amount of gold.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but have a headache, because many of them were his relatives, and some of them were also his ministers, and in desperation, Yuan Shu could only pick out some small characters to kill, while the rest of the people were punished with small punishments.
As we all know, the princes of the Eighteenth Route have their own spies on each other, and Yuan Shu is in charge of logistics and materials, so the princes and others in such an important position will naturally not pay attention to it. So when they learned that the Yuan Shu camp seemed to have found that someone had withheld food, and the number of people involved was still very large, they withdrew from the banquet one after another and asked their subordinates to ask for food a day in advance.
Yuan Shu was anxious, and the requirements from all sides made him tired of coping, and the most important thing was that the 160,000 stone grain straw could not hold out for a few days in the face of the remaining seventeen princes after deducting Han Fu and Tang Hong.
Just when the two sides were entangled, the drums sounded when they came from outside the city gate, and then Yuan Shao summoned the princes into the palace to discuss.
The princes of all walks of life entered and asked what had happened.
"The Xiliang Army is here!" Yuan Shao stood up and walked from the main seat to the hall, and said in a deep voice, looking around at the princes, and the atmosphere was suddenly dull. Before the princes from all walks of life asked how many soldiers and horses there were and who led them, at the gate, Tang Hong and his party were late.
Followed by four soldiers carrying tiger skin chairs, seeing this chair, Yuan Shao's face immediately darkened, and most of the princes coughed, feeling that this King of Zhao seemed to have an enmity with Yuan Shao, and there were conflicts with Yuan Shao everywhere, which made Yuan Shao deflated several times.
Naturally, Tang Hong sat in the first place, Yuan Shao sat on the left, Yuan Shu sat on the right, and Cao Cao sat below Yuan Shao.
"Presumably you have all got the news, Lu Bu broke through alone, threatening to take the heads of Gu and Yuan Mengzhu, tsk, now Zigu is famous again!"
The princes were in an uproar, and immediately there was a lot of discussion.
"King Zhao, Lie, Lu Bu broke through alone, and regarded the Han clan relatives and the heroes of the world as nothing, which is tolerable or unbearable." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.
"Our fierce general Liu Sandao, three knives will cut Lu Bu under the horse."
"I have Admiral Han Yong, who can fight against Lu Bu."
Gongsun Zhan got up when he heard this: "Two, I have Wang Chong, the fierce general of the Beihai Sea, he has long wanted to cut Lu Bu with a knife and took the red rabbit horse to be his own mount." ”
Before the words fell, a herald ran in and said loudly: "Report, the leader of the alliance, General Liu, General Han, and General Wang went out of the city to fight with Lu Bu, and in three rounds, all three generals were cut off." ”
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Cao Cao stood up without moving, stood in the hall, pressed his hands weakly, and said: "Rank general, there is a sentence I don't know if you have heard of it, called 'Lu Bu among the people, Red Rabbit among the horses', Hua Xiong was only the second in the Xiliang Army, let alone Lu Bu?"
Besides, do you really think that Lu Bu is a person? I can be sure that Dong Zhuo is not far away waiting for us to be forced to chase and kill Lu Bu with a large army, and then he can surprise the allies and defeat us in one fell swoop, and then we will really become thieves!
Therefore, we have to endure it now, and endure it until noon, Dong Zhuo's army is demoralized, and our army will send troops in one fell swoop. ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Zhan sneered and said: "Then you have to let the soldiers fill their stomachs, Yuan Shu, let me ask you, why don't you allocate grain to me?" ”
"That's right, Yuan Shu, why haven't you given me the grain you promised me last time and the grain you promised me next month?"
"And where are my three thousand spears and five hundred shields now?"
As soon as Gongsun Zan said this, it was like lighting gunpowder, and the princes from all walks of life accused Yuan Shu of various arrears.
Yuan Shu was at a loss for words in the face of so many questions, he knew that even if he bluntly said that the granary and armory had all disappeared overnight, no one would believe his words, and the most reliable thing was to say that someone had stolen the grain, so it was a little more credible.
So Yuan Shao said: "A thief stole the food!" ”
Tang Hong, who was sitting in the first place, didn't expect Yuan Shu to find a truth as an excuse for a while, and couldn't help but "cough" at the moment.
Chen Gong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, who were behind Tang Hong, suddenly looked at Tang Hong with a smile and a speech, especially Zhang Fei's grinning face.
Yuan Shao seized this scene and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, your subordinate, such a gloating smile, it doesn't seem to have a good impact, right?" Those who don't know think you're the thief. ”
Chen Gong immediately sneered and said, "Master Yuan, please also pay attention to your words, what is your intention in comparing my lord King Zhao with a thief?" Everyone said that the one who introduced Dong Zhuo into Luoyang, Yuan Shaoye; The one who destroyed the Han was also Yuan Shao. When I saw it today, I really had a heart of disobedience. ”
Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and Cao Cao suddenly spoke.
"Why should I be angry at the beginning, several generals are just glad, and this grain has to rely on King Zhao and General Han to provide it for the allies."
After hearing this, Yuan Shao had nowhere to vent the anger in his whole body, but what Cao Cao said was indeed true, Yuan Shao could only bow his head to Tang Hong and admit his mistake when he was faced with no place to vent his fire, and punished himself with three cups.
And Yuan Shu on the side also lowered his head and couldn't say anything, he bowed his head and drank in a dull manner, and he was very angry in his heart, from the soldiers to the corrupt generals, he scolded in his heart, and then scolded Han Fu and Tang Hong.
Tang Hong raised his eyebrows and said, "Why? The entire princes are begging for Dong, and only a few generals are seriously fighting with Dong Zhuo, what about the rest?
Don't talk about others, the two brothers of the Yuan family, you four generations and three dukes, what have you done these days? A person who is in charge of logistics but does not replenish the grain and grass for the forward general Sun Jian is not asking for help once or twice, but three or four times! General Huang has already come in person, but what about Yuan Shu?
and Yuan Shao, from the previous Huaxiong to the current Lu Bu, you know their bravery, and deliberately use words to provoke the generals and send them to death.
I think you are planning to let the generals go to their deaths, and it is better to let them all die, so you can easily let the Han world change its surname to Yuan, yes or no? ”
In the last sentence, Tang Hong stood barefoot on the tiger skin chair, pointed at Yuan Shao with fierce words, and roared loudly.
Yuan Shao subconsciously looked at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also said cooperatively: "I didn't hear anything, and I didn't say anything. ”
Those who can become a prince of one side will naturally not be too stupid, and everyone's faces suddenly sank, looking at Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao gloomily.

When Yuan Shao listened to Tang Hong's words, he thought that Cao Cao had heard what he and Yuan Shu said before, so he subconsciously looked at Cao Cao!
When he reacted, it was too late, and he could only pray in his heart that Cao Cao could really not hear it, and then make a confused look, but he never expected that Cao Cao would actually say such a thing to cover up.
Yuan Shao immediately thought of the intelligence that Cao Cao had talked to that Liu Hong late at night, and he suddenly hated it in his heart, and at the same time wondered, he also knew that Cao Cao really wanted to win, and helped him stabilize the situation several times, but why did he have to cooperate with Tang Hong to behave like this.
And then he knew!
Han Fu was the first to stand up and knelt down on one knee in front of Tang Hong and said, "The Yuan clan is not virtuous and incompetent enough to be worthy of being the leader of the Dong Alliance, and we implore His Royal Highness King Zhao to serve as the leader of the alliance and lead us to discuss Dong." ”
Cao Cao looked at the princes who were still hesitant, thought slightly, slowly stepped out of the column with his hands behind his back, and said: "Everyone, now that there is no grain, Dong Zhuo's army is imminent, and Lu Bu is still scolding outside the city, at this moment, we can only ask King Zhao to be the leader of the alliance and obey the dispatch." Defeat Dong Thief in the name of Wang Shi. ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he didn't look at the expressions of the princes, and immediately smiled at Tang Hong, and then bowed: "I implore His Royal Highness King Zhao to serve as the leader of the alliance." ”
The princes had no choice but to bow to a young man who was twenty years younger than them, and said loudly: "I implore His Royal Highness King Zhao to serve as the leader of the alliance!" ”
The voice is mighty, echoing for a long time!
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had gloomy faces, seeing the general trend, their reputation had completely stinked, and they could only obey the general trend, and bowed to Tang Hong unwillingly, and viciously cursed Tang Hong in their hearts to have a sudden illness.
"Since the generals love each other, Lone will not shirk it, but Dong Zhuo's army is about to make everything simple. From now on, Cao Cao is the deputy leader of the alliance and concurrently serves as the military division of the alliance, can you have any objections? ”
"Good!"
"Very good, from now on, Han Fu will be in charge of all the logistics of the Allied Army, provide food and ordnance for the Allied Army, and transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's battalions to supplement the consumption of the generals and soldiers. Can you have any objections? ”
"Great goodness!"
Everyone laughed, and at the same time, they were not so resistant to Tang Hong, Tang Hong's methods were convincing enough.
First of all, the first proposal, Tang Hong made Cao Cao the deputy leader of the alliance, and everyone had no objections, because Cao Cao was not only familiar with them, but Cao Cao himself was very intelligent, and he had a good relationship with everyone, without any dirt.
The first proposal did not touch everyone's interests and convinced everyone, while the second also made everyone have no objections, and there was also a good thing to see about fighting local tyrants.
Because he was the beneficiary, everyone immediately had a better attitude towards Tang Hong.
Of course, the corresponding faces of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were as black as the bottom of the pot, but looking at the eyes of the princes in the hall, they could only grit their teeth and swallow this evil breath, and they were very resentful of Tang Hong in their hearts.
"From now on, all the generals immediately asked their subordinate soldiers to receive food and ordnance from Han Fu, divide the 10,000 soldiers and horses punished, and prepare for war! I heard that Dong Zhuo was going to kill General Sun within three days, and today, I want Dong Zhuo to not see the sun tomorrow! ”
Tang Hong suddenly got up and swallowed the ambition of Lingyun with a peerless attitude.
Several people behind him looked at Tang Hong at this moment, and said silently in their hearts: "This is the posture of people who are loyal to me!" ”
Originally, Cao Cao, who had been fighting fiercely in his heart in the past few days, on the one hand, did not want to be subservient, and on the other hand, felt that Tang Hong was worthy of allegiance, but at this moment he watched the young man's eyes change unconsciously.
Of course, such a proposal could never make these princes blindly obey.
"Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Zhao, what should Lu Bu do outside the gate? Let the other party call? ”
"Of course not, the second brother, the third brother, and Zilong went to cook Lu Bu, but don't kill him, such a fierce general wants to use him!" Tang Hong said confidently.
"Whoa!"
"Fourth brother, why do you need the second brother and Zilong, I can do it alone."
"Cloud, obey!"
The princes from all walks of life who saw this scene couldn't help but change their pity when they looked at Tang Hong, these three people had some ability at a glance, especially the red-faced and long-bearded general named Guan Yu who could cut Hua Xiong.
But now they were pushed out to death by their lord, especially the young man with silver armor and silver spear, who was handsome and heroic.
Gongsun Zhan saw that Zhao Yun was dressed similarly to him, both were silver armor, and he had a good impression when he arrived, and he couldn't bear to persuade him: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, that Lu Bu is by no means vain, he is cruel, and he will be injured if he touches it!" Several generals are heroes, if there is an accident, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it! I also hope that Zhao Wang will think twice. ”
Yuan Shu on the side said in a strange manner: "Oh, General Gongsun, it's not right for you to say that, you actually question the strength of His Royal Highness King Zhao, do you think His Royal Highness King Zhao will be as ashamed as you?" ”
Gongsun Zhan immediately took the case and quarreled with Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Big guy, let's hurry up and prepare, as for the victory or defeat, it will be known sooner or later, whether it is victory or defeat, it is not important for strategy." ”
Tang Hong smiled and said, "We will come out of the city, and this place will be handed over to Han Fu to guard and ensure the logistics of materials." ”
Yuan Shaopi said with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Zhao is very confident in his generals, so let's not worry about it and disperse." He sneered in his heart and said: "Wait a while, as soon as the herald comes, there will be a time when you cry and mourn, there are only two little-known little people, and a kid who doesn't know where he came from, I really think I am Liu Xiu!" Hum! ”
Cao Cao shook his head slightly, but he could see that these three were all generals with the courage of ten thousand people, and he was a little sure in his heart, but he was not sure.
In fact, in the original play, he provoked Liu Bei and others, why didn't he borrow Lu Bu's hand to get rid of Liu Bei and others, after all, there is such a thing as bravery, without a clear fight or a clear comparison, it is difficult to determine who will win.
Just when most of the princes were not optimistic about Tang Hong, the drums on the city tower suddenly became deafening, and at this time, the herald rushed over: "Report...... Report ......"
All the princes couldn't help but crane their necks to look at what news the herald would bring, was it still a round to be beheaded off the horse, or did the three of them behead Lu Bu?
Yuan Shu's face was disdainful, and he wanted to get up and leave.
