After the fierce battle, the sky was already dawning, and after meeting Zhang Xiu in Kuangting, Gao Shun immediately led the army with 100,000 loads of grain and grass to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Seeing Wei Xu looking like he wanted to stop talking along the way, Gao Shun immediately reined in his horse and walked side by side with him: "Qiu Sheng, look at your appearance of wanting to stop talking, if you have anything to say, why do you want to talk about it?" ”

Wei Xu glanced at Gao Shun, and then coughed lightly, in fact, he didn't want to ask more, seeing Gao Shun coming to ask, he immediately bowed to Gao Shun, and said: "Peping, originally I, as a deputy general, didn't want to say much about some things, since you asked, then I will say it directly!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Wei Xu lowered his head and muttered for a while, then raised his head and asked Gao Shun: "Today in the valley, Yuan Shu could have been annihilated in one fell swoop, I don't know why Peping let Yuan Shu go?" ”

This question bothered Wei Xu all night, and he felt unhappy in his heart, originally they had trapped Yuan Shu's army in the valley, as long as the arrows were fired in unison, Yuan Shu's entire army could be annihilated, he didn't understand why Gao Shun led the army to rush down the mountain, so that Yuan Shu had a chance to break through.

Hearing this, Gao Shun shook his head and sighed, raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, and said: "Anyone among the princes of the Eighteen Roads can die, but Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao can't die, even if they want to die, they can't die in our hands!" ”

"Why?"

Wei Xu didn't understand, since it was an enemy, he had to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to let the tiger return to the mountain. Cause calamity.

"Yuan Shu put aside the identity of the princes, he is the second son of the Yuan family, and he is also the son-in-law, the status of the Yuan family in Runan can be imagined, and the Yuan family in Runan, the third prince of the fourth generation, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, from the history of the state pastor assassination, down to the county guard and county officials are all from the Yuan family's door, if we kill Yuan Shu today, then the Runan Yuan family will not give up, and then the princes of the world will be summoned to attack and kill the lord, at that time, even if the lord has thousands of troops and horses, I am afraid that he is not an opponent, I do this, but also for the lord, for the future of the state army!"

When Wei Xu heard this, he lowered his head and fell into contemplation, sorting out some thoughts in his mind, in combination with what Gao Shun said, he felt that things were really like what Gao Shun said, although Yuan Shu did not have any great talent, but he did not do anything to make people criticize, if he died in their hands like this, I am afraid that the Yuan family would not give up at that time, thinking about the consequences, Wei Xu was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he listened to Gao Shun's orders today, otherwise Lu Bu's major affairs would be ruined in his own hands.

"Peping, so-and-so has been taught again, no wonder the lord trusts you so much, you are indeed much taller than me!"

Wei Xu is also a person who knows his mistakes and can change, and dares to act, after listening to Gao Shun's analysis, he suddenly felt that he had made meritorious contributions and wronged Gao Shun, and he inevitably had some self-blame in his heart.

Gao Shun's cold face finally showed a hint of a smile, patted Wei Xu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Qiu Sheng, whether you do big or small things in the future, you must start from the overall situation, and don't do something that hurts your relatives and makes your enemies happy." ”

Wei Xu smiled, scratched his sideburns, lowered his head and coughed kissing.

At this time, I saw Zhang Xiu rushing from the front army and bowing to Gao Shun: "General Qiyu, at this time, the army has passed Yiyang, and you can go straight to the pipeline after crossing Luoshui, and go straight back to the Tiger Pass!" ”

Gao Shun looked up at the sky, counted the hours, and ordered the three armies to speed up their march, striving to rush back to the Tiger Prison Pass tomorrow.

Zhang Xiu promised, and passed Gao Shun's orders layer by layer, and suddenly, the marching speed of the state army was accelerated several times, and they rushed to Luoshui in a moment, and at the same time, the news of the robbery of the Fengqiu grain and grass camp was rushed to Yuan Shao's hands through eight hundred miles.

Thirty miles from the Tiger Prison Pass, the camp of the coalition army.

"What? You said that the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass in Fengqiu are all gone? ”

Looking at the blood-stained messenger below, Yuan Shao asked with an incredulous roar.

"Qi Yu Alliance Leader, what I said below, every sentence is true, Gao Shunqin, the general under Lu Bu's account, led 10,000 and the state army to attack our army's grain and grass camp, and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass were destroyed, not only that, but the 20,000 horses led by my general were also lost, and the generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui were killed in battle, and at this time, my general was leading the remaining soldiers and horses to rest in Fengqiu!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't believe his words, the messenger reported the battle situation to Yuan Shao truthfully.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Gao Shun only set up a big formation in the Tiger Prison Pass the day before yesterday, how could he rush to Fengqiu in less than a day, besides, there is a large army dispatch in the Tiger Prison Pass, why haven't we received a report from the scouts, I warn you, don't bewitch the army here, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!"

Hearing the messenger's report again, Yuan Shao immediately spoke in denial, and quickly walked up to the messenger, raised his hand and pointed at him with a cold shout.

Then the messenger didn't believe himself when he saw Yuan Shao, and he didn't know how to explain it at the moment, so he could only frown and be sad, and he didn't know what to do.

Cao Cao, who was in the first place on the lower left, suddenly opened his closed eyes, got up and walked to the messenger's side, circled around him, and said, "Do you know that this matter of lying about military information is to be done by military law!" ”

When the messenger saw Cao Cao's questioning, he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and immediately bowed his hand: "General Cao, my subordinates are not talking nonsense, what I said is true, the grain and grass camp in Fengqiu was really robbed by Gao Shun!" ”

Cao Cao stroked his short hair, leaned over and stared at the messenger face to face and asked: "Then let me ask you, when did the enemy army rob the battalion, what was it like when the grain and grass were burned, and how General Yuan was defeated, you had better tell the truth, otherwise I will not spare it!" ”

The messenger glanced at Cao Cao, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of spit, how did he feel that this Cao Cao was even more terrifying than Yuan Shao, wiped a handful of beads of sweat on his forehead, and immediately told in detail how Gao Shun robbed the camp and how to ambush Yuan Shu in the valley. I don't know if there is a magic force in his words, which makes the princes seem to be immersed in the scene, and with the ups and downs of the plot, they let out a burst of exclamations from time to time.

After the messenger finished speaking, Yuan Shao quickly spread to the ground and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's all over!" ”

Cao Cao bowed down to help the messenger, patted the dust on his body, and then comforted: "It's hard for you all the way, you go down to rest for the time being, and after we discuss what to do next, you can go back to the highway general!" ”

"Thank you, General Cao!"

In fact, his journey was indeed quite hard, from the time of the hour to the present he had not eaten a drop of water, not a single grain of food, and he had run and killed three horses in a row before he arrived at the coalition camp, and when he heard that he could go down to rest, the messenger immediately thanked him, and was ready to turn and leave. At this critical moment, Cao Cao drew the sword at his waist with lightning speed, and slashed at the messenger's head.

In a flash of cold light, a bloody head suddenly rolled to the ground, knocking on the wooden floor, and then the messenger's body fell to the ground with a thud.

The princes and generals in the tent all watched this scene in horror, they did not know why Cao Cao drew his sword and killed the messenger in anger.

"Mengde, what are you doing here?"

Yuan Shao reacted first, got up and glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, looked up at Cao Cao and frowned and asked.

Cao Cao wiped the blood stains on his sword with a silk handkerchief, and said indifferently: "From the Tiger Prison Pass to Fengqiu, if you travel three hundred miles a day, you can reach it in half a day, and when Lu Bu fought yesterday, I didn't see Gao Shun's figure, presumably what he said is true, and the Fengqiu camp may really be over." ”

"Of course I know he is credible, I ask why you killed him?"

He has believed most of the messenger's words, since ancient times, there have been many battles like this, and it can indeed be used on Gao Shun's body because what the messenger said is true, Yuan Shao didn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to kill him.

"Huh!" A bang.

Cao Cao put back the sword on his waist, strode to Yuan Shao's side and said: "Now we are ready to fly, we have to send, if this person is allowed to tell the story of the robbery of grain and grass, the army's heart will be chaotic, when Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu learned the news, and led the army to rob the camp, we will die without a place to be buried, therefore, it is better for him to die than for us to die, and he died for hundreds of thousands of troops, he died well, and his death is worthwhile!" ”

Hearing what Cao Cao said, Yuan Shao lowered his head and fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he raised his head and said, "But." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly interrupted Yuan Shao's words: "At the beginning, there is nothing to do, those who become big things are not informal, I see that there is still a day of food and grass in the army, why don't we break the cauldron and sink the boat, let the soldiers have a full meal, and then attack the Tiger Prison Pass with all their might, and take Luoyang City in one fell swoop!" ”

Cao Cao's words made Yuan Shao very moved, but the matter of grain and grass made him feel like numbness, and he couldn't help pacing back and forth in the tent at the moment, bowing his head and pondering.

Seeing Yuan Shao's refusal to agree, Cao Cao was immediately anxious, and immediately strode up to Yuan Shao: "At the beginning, while the battle report of Fengqiu has not yet reached Lu Bu's hands, why don't we strike first, otherwise Lu Bu will get the battle report and lead the army to kill, and it will be too late to regret it!" ”

All the princes thought about it, and they all felt that Cao Cao was reasonable, and they all got up and asked for battle.

Yuan Shao looked around, saw the determination on the faces of the princes, and immediately slapped out the sword on his waist, and cut the table in front of him into two sections with a sword: "Order the three armies to attack the Tiger Prison Pass immediately, and swear to fight to the death with Dong Thief!" ”
