It is said that Lu Yi, a rough man who has lived in Xiliang since he was a child, naturally didn't know that what Yuan Shu, an insidious person, said was not a good intention, and said casually: "The eldest husband should do his best to make meritorious contributions, how can a mere miscellaneous school captain make me Liyi satisfied?" After these words, not only Yuan Shao's face changed, but even some small-minded princes were unhappy.

Cao Ying, who was originally congratulating Lu Yi, knew that it was going to be bad when he heard Yuan Shu's words, but before he could change the topic, Lu Yi, the big boss, directly said those slightly arrogant words.

Cao Ying showed a subtle wry smile on his face, he and Yuan Shaonai, who was born after the famous family of the fourth world and the third prince, were good friends from childhood to adulthood. Because of this, Yuan Shao's surname Cao Ying, who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, will understand it very well. If Lu Yi was the general under his command, Cao Yi himself might laugh after saying this. But the lord of Koji Yi is the Yuan Benchu who is not broad-minded, and the future of Koji Yi can be said to be dark. Because of Cao Ying's understanding of Yuan Shao, when he encounters a person like Koi Yi who is not easy to meet the status quo, it is impossible for Yuan Shao, who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, to reuse him, maybe one day he will find a trumped-up crime to kill Koji Yi.

Sure enough, when it was Yuan Shao's turn to talk to Lu Yi later, Yuan Shao only lightly encouraged Lu Yi a few words, and then turned around and left with a gloomy face. made Koji stay in place alone, looking puzzled and embarrassed

Dividing line

Since that time, Lü Bu bravely beheaded several coalition generals, and the Xiandeng dead soldiers under Liyi defeated more than 100,000 Xiliang cavalry with fewer victories, the battle between the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes and Dong Zhuo Lübu's allied forces lasted for several months.

During this period of time, Lü Bu's Bingzhou army only participated in some competitions of fighting generals, and when it came to the conquest of the army, Lü Bu would use Dong Zhuo's generals as a reason that the whole army was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, and would never participate in various battles with the Kwantung princes.

Fortunately, Lu Bu and the fierce men under his account showed great courage and killed several coalition soldiers in several battles. And the Kwantung coalition army is not completely unrivaled by Lu Bu, after suffering several losses in a row, the coalition army has developed a good habit of 'bullying less with more'. At the same time, among the princes of the coalition army, there were also military generals such as Ji Ling, Gao Lan, and Han Meng, plus Liu Guanzhang, Xiahou Brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu and other fierce generals.

Tai Shici, a young man in a green robe who newly joined Lu Bu's camp, finally walked into the 'macho circle' under Lu Bu with the help of his familiar Zhang Fei after a period of restraint. In several battles, the archery skills of the young general Tai Shici and the veteran Huang Zhong made many generals of the coalition army 'change their color'.

Although the 20,000 Xiandeng camp of Liyi did not continue to expand because Yuan Shao could suppress it, Liyi still let his more than 20,000 Xiandeng dead soldiers play an important role in this war of attrition. Once the cavalry units of the Western Liang Army broke out of the Tiger Prison Pass with the intention of rushing to kill the coalition army formation, they were greeted by round after round of crossbow volleys. After losing a lot of Xiliang iron cavalry, Dong Zhuo simply gave up the idea of charging the battle with iron cavalry, but wholeheartedly relied on the tiger prison to defend the passage to Luoyang.

Yuan Shao and others tried to attack the Tiger Prison Pass several times, but due to too many casualties, these attacks failed in the end. Among them, when the first attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo's crossbow array really frightened Dong Zhuo, far beyond the range of the Xiliang archers, Li Yi took more than 20,000 Xianden troops to rain wave after wave of arrows, suppressing the Xiliang archers on the Tiger Prison Pass and unable to raise their heads. Yuan Shao saw that the archers on the Tiger Prison Pass were suppressed, and immediately mobilized a dense group of coalition sergeants to carry the ladder and rush to the Tiger Prison Pass. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had sufficient troops, and with the accumulation of tens of thousands of lives, he narrowly blocked several attacks of the coalition army. And Lu Bu's Bingzhou army put on an attitude of 'it's none of your business' to watch the play in the Tiger Prison Pass, even if there were a few times when the allied sergeants fought desperately into the pass, Lu Bu's Bingzhou army only shot a few arrows.

When Dong Zhuo brought Li Ru to question Lu Bu, Lu Bu leisurely used a sentence to let Dong Zhuo and Li Ru 'escape' from Lu Bu's military camp with red faces: "The fighting generals of the coalition army are already under our Hezhou army, if you have hundreds of thousands of troops, but you still need our Xiliang army to help you defend a tiger prison pass, which is known as 'easy to defend and difficult to attack', then why do you need your Xiliang army to do in this war?" ”

Although the first army did cause a lot of trouble to Dong Zhuo in the first siege battle. But after all, Dong Zhuo is a big force that occupies more than half of Luoyang, and after being bombarded by Koji Yi's crossbow, Dong Zhuo realized that it was necessary to strengthen the defense force on the Tiger Prison, so Dong Zhuo ordered Li Su to go to Luoyang at night and mobilized tens of thousands of strong crossbows of various types in Luoyang's arsenal. When the second siege began, in the face of a large number of sophisticated strong crossbows such as bed crossbows and rhubarb triple crossbows, the vanguard army, which was slightly inferior in equipment, could only cry out in vain.

The battle is not only the number of soldiers, nor the strength of the generals, but also the competition in food, grass and ordnance.

Speaking of grain and grass ordnance, Dong Zhuo has those blank grain and grass ordnance left by Emperor Han Ling, and it is still very easy to maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of horses for several years. (In fact, the money left in the official treasury was only a small part of Emperor Ling's property, and most of the remaining gold, silver and ordnance were hidden in a top-secret place as Zhang Rang said, and the map was very 'unstinning' by Lu Bu from Zhang Rang.) ）

However, Yuan Shao and other princes of more than a dozen roads are far from being as good as Dong Zhuo~

This is called the assembly of princes.

"Yuan Alliance Lord! What have you promised me this month's bread and grass? Why hasn't it been delivered yet? Do you want tens of thousands of soldiers of our army to go hungry and crusade against Dong Zhuo? "Youzhou Assassin Shi Gongsun Chan took the lead, there are thousands of cavalry in his troops, and the consumption of grain and grass is several times that of other princes' troops, seeing that the grain and grass can only hold on for half a month, in order to prevent an accident like Sun Jian's tragedy, Gongsun Chan can no longer remain silent.

"This grain and grass, General Gongsun, you also know that all the grain and grass owned by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the coalition army are all supplied by Hebei and Qingxu. However, after several months of consumption of people eating and chewing, the supply of military rations in various places has gradually exceeded the demand. Yuan Shao said helplessly.

"When you were elected to the position of alliance leader, you said that all princes are absolutely equal. But why is there less and less grain and grass in our army now, while your Yuan brothers are piling up countless grains and grasses? No matter what, Lord Yuan, you must give a part of your grain and grass to our army, otherwise, hum! "Gongsun Chan has long been unaccustomed to the behavior of the Yuan brothers to enrich their own pockets, if the military rations of this coalition army are supplied by you two brothers, then Gongsun Chan is not easy to say, but you two brothers have never seen a grain of grain sent from the base area, but instead withheld the military rations sent by others, which makes Gongsun Chan, who is jealous and hateful, how can he continue to endure it?

"How else? Do you still dare to rob it? Ping said that he always talked about your white horse righteousness, and when he really fought with Dong Thief, he still had to rely on the first army to resist Dong Thief's cavalry of the Xiliang Army. Every time you ask for food, you are always the most diligent, but you don't do anything on the battlefield at all, and you dare to make a big deal about it! Yuan Shu, who had always spoken harshly and bitterly, saw Gongsun Chan popping out, and immediately sneered coldly.

"How dare Piffan insult me?" Yuan Shu's words just touched on Gongsun Zhan's sore spot, since Yuan Shao established the Xiandeng Army, the White Horse Yicong under his command seemed a little embarrassed. In the battle, not only could not defeat the tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Xiliang Army, but at the same time, it was far inferior to the Xiandeng Army in terms of the number of enemies killed. Defense, cavalry defense is of no point at all except for the vain consumption of military rations.

"Facts speak louder than words, whether your Gongsun Chan deserves to enjoy the grain and grass far beyond that of other princes, everyone present can see clearly!" Yuan Shu said without showing weakness.

Seeing that the surrounding princes either had a look of approval on their faces, or they were expressionless and did not express their opinions, Gongsun Chan blushed and shouted: "Okay!! Since everyone thinks that my Youzhou army is a burden here, my grandson Chan will say goodbye! I'd like to see if you can conquer this tiger prison in the future! Hum!! ”

On the side, Cao Ying was about to pull Gongsun Zhan, who turned to leave, but heard Yuan Shao shout softly: "Meng De, let him go." ”

"Alas!" Cao Ying knew that the responsibility for this matter lay with the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to withhold military rations, but Yuan Shao, as the leader of the princes and his friend, Cao Ying could not stand on the side of Gongsun Zhan, an 'outsider', in public.

"Yuan Alliance Lord! We won't talk about the grain and grass, but what about the 5,000 spears and 5,000 knives you promised me? Without armaments, we can't use those bladeless knives and guns to fight Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, right? Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling stood up again after Gongsun Chan left.

"Whew! If Cao Mengde or Sun Wentai say this, I still believe it, but your army of Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling will be short of soldiers? I also saw hundreds of bundles of knives and guns piled up in your rear army yesterday? Don't tell me that all those glittering blades are missing! Yuan Shu was worried about what Gongsun Zhan had just done, and when he saw Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling jumping out again, he couldn't help but scold angrily.

"You! You actually peeked at the reality of our army!! Yuan Shu, what are your intentions? Hearing Yuan Shu report his strength like a few treasures, Kong Ling shouted angrily.

"What am I thinking? They are also allies but hide their blades, and they are annoyed and angry when they are discovered. I want to ask you what Kong Ling's heart is! Yuan Shu has long coveted several states and counties in Yuzhou, and Kong Ling's every move can't escape his eyes.

ps: When I came back yesterday, there was a sudden rainstorm, and no tears became a soup chicken~ Anyway, how the August sky is changeable~
