Chapter 197, the Allies Disperse
Chapter 197, the Allies Disperse
"The leader of the alliance didn't know that when Wentai was young, when he was hunting in the mountains, he was accidentally injured in the waist by a fierce beast. After that, the injury recovered, but it also left behind a hidden disease, which would recur every winter when the weather was cold, and the pain would be unbearable. Sun Jian made up his mind to return to Jiangdong, and at this time he did not hesitate to lie to Yuan Shao, "Last night, the old disease attacked again, and I was heartbroken, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to lead the troops to fight, so I came to resign to the alliance leader." I also ask for your pardon. ”
"Did Wentai ask a military doctor for treatment? Why don't I call a military doctor to take a look at Wentai? Yuan Shao was puzzled in his heart, and said with concern on his face.
Wentai knew this matter most clearly, and it was useless to call a military doctor. Thank you for your concern. Sun Jian said with a sad face, "As long as you recuperate for ten days and a half, you will be fine." ”
"That's it, I can't keep Wentai if he wants to leave, but let's let everyone decide." Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said.
"It's okay, let's say goodbye to everyone." Sun Jian agreed.
Soon, the other princes were passed over by Yuan Shao. As soon as he entered the Chinese military tent, he heard that Sun Jian wanted to resign and return to Jiangdong on the grounds that he was unwell, and for a while, everyone was in an uproar.
The first to speak was Yuan Shu, only to see him look at Sun Jian and say in a strange tone: "The day before yesterday, Sun Wentai kept saying, 'Now there is a new defeat and low morale, so I can only rest for a few days, accumulate fighting spirit, and fight the tiger prison again in the future'." How come today, Wentai has to retreat. What's the explanation? If it's Wentai's self-proclaimed physical causes, I don't believe the highway. ”
"Believe it or not, I'm not going to joke with my life." Sun Jian glared at him and said.
"If that's the case. Wentai University can recuperate from injuries here, so that the army can fight with the Allied forces. Why do you have to go back to Koto? Yuan Shu looked away. looked at the other princes, obviously hoping that the others would say something at this time.
"yes, yes. The highway says yes. "Wentai is injured, we can understand, but now in extraordinary times, please think about the overall situation and stay to recuperate." "Two days after tomorrow, the Allies will be able to launch an attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, if Wentai leaves, won't it be a blow to the morale of the sergeants? ”……
Many people echoed Yuan Shu's words and spoke persuasively.
Wentai also wanted to stay and recuperate. But there is no cure for my body's hidden ailments in the army. I was afraid that I would drag on for a few days, and my body would be hurt and tormented, so Wentai had to return to Jiangdong. I hope you all Haihan. In the face of everyone's persuasion, Sun Jian ate the Tao of iron.
"I think so, everybody's here, just show your hands. If you agree with Sun Wentai's departure, please raise your hand. Seeing that Sun Jian was unwavering, Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said to the people present.
And all the princes listened. looked at each other, and after a period of silence, in the end, only Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong raised their hands to agree to Sun Jian leaving.
"Hehe, the minority obeys the majority. Wentai, I think you should stay. Yuan Shao was very satisfied with the result and said to Sun Jian with a smile.
I don't know that his hot face sticks to his cold ass. I only heard Sun Jian snort heavily: "Hey-so many people are selfish and don't care about Sun Jian's body. What is the benefit of Sun Jian's stay? Leave! After finishing speaking, he bowed to Han Fu, Kong Ling, Tao Qian, and Kong Rong. Turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Wentai, Wentai......" Yuan Shao didn't even want to shout a few times. Sun Jian still walked firmly.
For a while, the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was strange, and everyone was speechless.
After a while, Yuan Shu broke the dullness, glanced around at everyone and said, "Sun Jian's withdrawal from the allies, physical discomfort may be one aspect, and the other aspect, it may be him...... There was no confidence in the Allied capture of Tiger Pass. ”
"No faith? How do you know if you don't try? Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xindao.
"If he tried, there would be casualties, maybe he was worried about this, and he planned to withdraw from the Allied forces because of the recurrence of his old physical illness." Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan said.
"If you were afraid of casualties in the war, then you shouldn't have come in the first place. The oath changed in less than half a month, and it was even called the 'Jiangdong Tiger'? I think it's the Jiangdong rats. Shanyang Taishou Yuan was indignant.
"I don't think Sun Wentai is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, it may be that he is really unwell this time." Beihai is too guarded by Kong Rongdao.
"You don't need to talk about Sun Jian, he went and went. As far as I know, there are only a few thousand soldiers around him at the moment, and it will not have much impact on the attack on the Tiger Prison Pass. Now I have decided, in three days, I will gather a large army and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to fight to the death with the Zhuo army. Suddenly, Yuan Shao patted the case and said. Seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, the meeting was immediately adjourned.
On the morning of the same day, Sun Jian ordered the sergeants under his command to pack their bags and leave in a low-key manner. However, thousands of sergeants can't keep a low profile, and the front and rear lines are miles long, which can be described as vast. This had a great impact on the armies of the other princes, and for a while, the people were panicked and the rumors were loud.
In the end, Yuan Shao comforted people, saying that it was Sun Jian who led the army to attack the rear of the enemy army to calm the hearts of the shocked soldiers.
Regarding Sun Jian's departure, the opinions of the other princes were not unanimous. Many people speculated that he was wise to protect his life, because he knew that the Allied army was short of food and grass, and it was difficult to start a protracted battle with the Zhuo army, as long as the Zhuo army could not defend the pass, the Allied army would be helpless. In this way, the Allies will be defeated.
Rather than causing large casualties when defeated, it is better to go while the military horse has sufficient physical strength - since you have to leave sooner or later, why bother to slap a swollen face and become fat?
Yuan Shao originally hoped that in the first battle three days later, the allies would be able to take the Tiger Pass. But on the second day, there were princes who said goodbye without saying goodbye, which made his heart tremble: Sun Jian left yesterday, why did the princes leave today?
After finding out, it was learned that it was Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei. He immediately drove his horse to ask clearly: this guy swore yesterday that he said, "No faith?" How do you know if you don't try it?"
Bao Xin thought about it all night last night, knowing that the battle with Zhuo Jun would end in defeat in three days. From the alliance of various princes to the present, he is the prince who has lost the most soldiers: not only a few generals have died, but many soldiers, and even his own brother has died.
I thought: If Sun Jian can go, why can't I? He has more generals than me, and they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, so I can't cherish my life? At present, the supply of food and grass for the three armies is tight, and they know that they will not be able to take the tiger prison, and if they persist in it, they will definitely suffer losses, and they will only die to save face and suffer the crime.
So when he left, he didn't say hello to Yuan Shao. When he saw Yuan Shao personally riding a horse to stop him, his eyelids jumped, and he said without changing his face: "I received an urgent report from Jibei last night, saying that there was a rebellion by the Yellow Turban Party, so Bao Xin must go back to suppress it, say goodbye without saying goodbye, and ask the alliance leader for forgiveness." ”
……
It may be that Sun Jian and Bao Xin took the lead, and on the third day, the princes of the three roads packed up their armies and resigned to Yuan Shao for various reasons. Yuan Shao's face was distorted, and he couldn't do it if he didn't follow it.
These three princes are Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, Zhang Chao of Guangling, and Zhang Yang of Shangdang.
When the tiger prison was closed, when the spies sent by Lu Zhan reported that the allies had many people retreating, they were relieved, and they also ordered Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to secretly go to the allies to spread the news, saying that Sun Jian had inadvertently obtained the jade seal of the country......
