"General Shang, we really don't want to get involved?"

At night, in the tent of Shang Jishuai, Lu Bu asked a little reluctantly.

Shang Ji didn't answer Lu Bu's words, and turned to look at Chen Gong next to him: "What does Mr. Gongtai think?" ”

"If something goes wrong, it's a demon, and I think we still need to be cautious!" Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu and said in a low voice.

In the past few days, the Five Pioneers have been attacking frantically, and the good news has come like snowflakes, and at the same time, a small amount of wealth has fallen into the hands of the five princes.

The harvest is so rich that no one is blushing, and under the stimulation of huge wealth, the five pioneers are showing signs of getting out of control.

Originally, according to the plan of the coalition army, starting from Sujuo, passing through Yuanwu, Yangwu, Juan County, Wude, and Huai County along the way, and then the troops came to Rongyang, where the Bishui Pass was located, and then broke the Tiger Prison Pass after breaking the Bishui Pass, and finally took Luoyang directly.

The army and the surrounding counties naturally have to be conquered, which is understandable, but under the stimulation of wealth, the farthest vanguard has hit Xinzheng and Lin Wei, which is almost three thousand miles away from Bishui Pass!

They also have a good reputation for ensuring the safety of the rear, but there are only three or three remnants of the defeated generals there, where do you need to go to so many people to encircle and suppress it!

It's not like there's a lot of oil and water there, and I'm going to loot!

This kind of behavior of not obeying orders and acting without permission made Yuan Shao's face black with anger, but it is a pity that the authority of him, the leader of the alliance, depends on face, but face is a fart in front of real gold and silver, no one pays attention to his military orders at all, and still goes his own way.

This blatant disobedience dealt a blow to the prestige of the coalition forces, and more importantly, the rich gains of the vanguard caused turmoil in the morale of the coalition forces.

The princes who stayed behind in the main army asked the vanguard princes to share the harvest, or send more vanguard troops.

The vanguard army of the former is naturally not happy, why should the city we worked so hard to build give you a share of the profits? Are you a bully to me?

As for the latter, it is also unrealistic, the princes of the Nineteenth Route already have five routes as pioneers, so what's the point of dividing this alliance again? What's more, the area east of Bishui Pass has been divided by the five pioneers, and the other princes are now too late.

The quarrel of the princes made Yuan Shao a head and two big, but he had to go to mediate hard.

As I said before, the relationship between the princes is complicated, what are you my protégé, I am your little friend, don't want to sort it out when the gods come, but the relationship between Shang Ji and Lu Bu is relatively simple, and it can be regarded as an alternative among the princes.

And because the two have cooperated many times before, the relationship is relatively close, so the two naturally began to huddle.

Lu Bu knew what his personality was, and when he saw that the pioneer had gained so much, he naturally began to blush, thinking about getting a piece of the pie every day, and even advocated ignoring Yuan Shao and directly dividing his troops to participate in the money grabbing war.

But Chen Gong was quite calm, and he stopped Lu Bu from moving, but after a long time, Chen Gong couldn't stop it. is still the same sentence, the wealth is moving, in addition to Lu Bu, more and more senior generals in Lu Bu's army are inclined to attack.

Chen Gong had no choice but to use the excuse to consult with Shang Ji and borrow Shang Ji's hand to dissuade Lu Bu.

In fact, there are similar voices in the Shang army, but Shang Ji's prestige in the army is incomparable, and he does not support the attack, and no one in the Shang army can oppose it.

"If you don't participate, what Mr. Gongtai said is good, and if something goes wrong, it's a demon. Even if Dong Zhuo is mediocre, the Million Flying Bear Army and the Eight Million Xiliang Iron Cavalry are not vegetarians, this is very likely to be Dong Zhuo's conspiracy to show weakness! ”

Shang Ji said that this is the strength of Dong Zhuojun half a year ago, Qianhuan was defeated in Luoyang, Shang Ji's monitoring of Dong Zhuo was completely ineffective, and it is difficult to judge how strong Dong Zhuojun is now, but even if it is measured by the combat effectiveness half a year ago, it is a hard bone. And now this situation of defeat after defeat is obviously inconsistent with Dong Zhuo's combat effectiveness, and Shang Ji is extremely suspicious that Dong Zhuo is playing a trick to show the enemy to be weak.

Of course, there is also a saying that Dong Zhuo has gone crazy, and the tens of millions of troops under his command have collapsed.

For this kind of rumor, Shang Ji can only hehe.

Can a mad monarch build Luoyang City like an iron bucket and make the Thousand Illusions collectively lose contact?

"Report, General Qiqi Shang and General Lu, the alliance leader invites the two generals to go to the tent immediately."

Just when Lu Bu was still unwilling, suddenly a junior colonel came to convey Yuan Shao's order,

"Is something wrong?"

The colonel bowed his head and said: "General Qiyu Zuo, I don't know, I only know that the alliance leader ordered all the princes to go to the tent as quickly as possible, and there is an urgent military situation!" ”

"Okay, we'll go right away."

After sending the little colonel, Shang Ji glanced at Chen Gong and Guo Jia, and then nodded tacitly.

Everyone hurried to the tent, and before they could enter the tent, they heard a cry coming from the tent.

Pushing open the door of the tent and entering, it turned out that it was Chen Juntaishou Zhang Miao who was crying, and he was still holding a person in his arms at this time, no, to be precise, he should be holding a corpse.

Shang Ji was keenly aware that the person in Zhang Miao's arms was no longer alive.

When I looked closely, I saw that his chest was sunken, and he was obviously killed by a blunt object. Looking at the face again, the deceased turned out to be Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling!

By the way, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are brothers, Zhang Miao is a brother, Zhang Chao is a brother, and they have a good relationship.

Shang Ji looked around again, and found that the atmosphere in the big tent was dull, and the princes' faces were not very good. And Shang Ji also saw Bao Xin, who was supposed to be fighting outside, but Bao Xin was covered in blood, and his grief was a fight with Zhang Miao, who was crying next to him.

Ignoring the grief-stricken Zhang Miao, Shang Ji and Lu Bu came to Yuan Shao's side and asked in a low voice, "Alliance leader, what happened?" ”

"The former pioneer General Zhang Chao was accidentally ambushed by the enemy, General Zhang was killed, the vanguard army on the front road was defeated, and General Zhang's personal guards only had time to retrieve General Zhang's body.

The left vanguard was also ambushed by Dong's thief army, and the army was defeated. In order to cover the retreat of General Bao Xin, Bao Zhong, the brother of General Bao Xin, was unfortunately killed in battle, and even the bones were not found. ”

Shang Ji's face sank, feeling that things were a little out of control, and hurriedly asked, "What about General Sun Jian, General Gongsun Zhan, and General Yuan Yi?" What is the situation of these three route armies? ”

Yuan Shao shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "I don't know, we have lost contact with the Third Route Army. The leader of this alliance has sent a large number of scouts, but there is no news from him, I am afraid that he has also encountered an ambush, but I don't know what the loss is. We have all fallen for the tricks of Dong thieves! ”

In the end, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth a little, you must know that there is still his hardcore younger brother and cousin Yuan Yi in the vanguard army, Yuan Yi does not know whether he lives or dies first, and Yuan Shao's mood can be imagined.

"Take the general's order and order General Su Huan to send the Feifeng Fire Cavalry to reconnoiter in the direction of the other three route vanguard armies, and find out the situation of the other three route armies as soon as possible!"

Shang Ji ordered Wang Hu without hesitation.

"Obey the orders of the lord!"

Wang Hu took the order and turned to leave.

The princes of the Eighteen Roads, there are spies planted by a thousand illusions along the way, for the sake of safety, these spies are generally lurking among ordinary soldiers, and it is difficult to get access to high-level secrets, but it is more than enough to pass on the movements of the princes to Shang Ji.

However, until Bao Xin and Zhang Chao led the remnants of the army to converge with the main force of the coalition army, Shang Ji did not receive any news about the attack on the two armies, which was too abnormal!
