Chapter 125: Meishan Chugong
The new camp of the Kwantung Alliance, a hundred miles away from the Tiger Prison.
Inside the tent.
Yuan Shao's face was full of anger, staring at Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao with bloodshot eyes, and roared loudly: "No, this matter must not be, how can we bow down to that little child." ”
Zhang Miao ignored Yuan Shao's anger and said coldly: "In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, we lost tens of thousands of troops and countless ordnance. Now the officers and men in the army do not have the slightest fighting spirit, even to the point where Wen Lu has changed color. It's all reached this level, did you still want to continue fighting? ”
In the end, Zhang Miao was full of doubts.
In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, although the Kwantung Alliance suffered only tens of thousands of casualties, the number of lost and fleeing soldiers far exceeded the number of deaths. At present, nearly 100,000 Kwantung soldiers have become deserters and are in exile, and even deserters are caught in the army every day.
In this situation of no morale, many princes naturally had the intention of retreating.
They chose to follow Yuan Shao to attack the imperial court in order to gain more and greater benefits. But now the possibility of wanting to make a profit is very small, and it may even be held accountable and blamed by the imperial court, many people can't help but be timid, and naturally don't want to continue.
Yuan Shao's face twitched slightly, and his heart was full of murder.
In fact, he didn't want to continue to fight with the imperial court, just as the leader of the Kwantung Alliance. Others may be forgiven or even surrendered by the imperial court, but it is extremely unlikely that he, the leader of the alliance, will be forgiven.
Therefore, for the sake of his own life, Yuan Shao could never choose to surrender directly.
The only thing he could do was to firmly control the various forces of the Kwantung Alliance and let them become his bargaining chips in negotiations with the imperial court.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Miao wanted to quit, Yuan Shao couldn't help but have a murderous intention.
Without waiting for Yuan Shao to speak, Sun Jian stood up and sneered: "If Zhang Taishou wants to quit, he also has to ask if people are welcome." Lu Hao was a wolf with ambition and secretly reached an agreement with Dong Zhuo, and his rebellious heart was obvious.
Now he has controlled Xiliang's 200,000 troops, and behind him there are tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops of Lu Bu. Zhang Taishou is Chen Liu, and Chen Liu's distance from Si Li is not more than 100 miles. Taishou thought that if you were Lu Hao's child, you would have such a big hidden danger on your side. ”
Zhang Miao's expression changed, sometimes pale and sometimes bitter.
It was precisely because his station was too close to Sili that he wanted to withdraw from the Kwantung Alliance as soon as possible. In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, he was completely frightened by Li Hao, and he really didn't dare to continue to be an enemy with Li Hao.
The terrifying power that diverted the Yellow River with a snap of his fingers left a shadow in Zhang Miao's heart that could never be washed away.
Beihai Taishou Kong Rong also retorted: "What Wentai said is very true, not to mention Lu Hao's ambition as a wolf, he has long had the intention of rebellion. Let's just say that he is still a younger generation who has not yet reached the crown, if we surrender because of him, how will we be courtiers in the future? Is it possible that we still want to salute a junior? ”
"Lu Hao'er has a backbone in the back of his head, if we surrender to him now, I am afraid that we will be assassinated by him in the future. In my opinion, I might as well join forces to fight with him, with the help of the lord of Meishan Mountain, I don't have the strength to fight with him. ”
"This is a mistake, Lu Hao's methods are weird, and it is really not the best strategy to fight with him. In my opinion, we might as well attack the capital with surprise troops, and then we might as well be able to turn the tide. ”
"I don't agree with this, now that we have suffered heavy losses, and the officers and men in the army no longer have the slightest fighting spirit to speak of, how can we continue to fight. We might as well retreat for the time being, and then make plans after our cultivation has recovered. ”
"Ridiculous, if we retreat, won't we really become thieves."
All the princes, you say a word, some want to surrender to the court, some want to run away, and more want to continue fighting. And these princes who want to continue to fight are divided into various camps such as hard fighting and winning with surprise soldiers.
For a moment, there was chaos in the tent, and the voices of wanting to surrender and flee were quickly suppressed.
Gradually, the tent was divided into two camps.
The first is the princes led by Yuan Shao who want to have another fight with Li Hao and make the court bow down. On the other hand, Yuan Shu is the main faction that wants to surprise and win.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have long had a lot of gaps, and at this time, seeing Yuan Shao end up like this, his heart was extremely happy. He didn't give Yuan Shao any face, and sneered and mocked: "Yuan Benchu, I think you're not crazy." With the current strength, I still want to fight hard with the Xiliang Army, hehe. ”
"Alliance leader, I think there is something wrong with this matter. We now have serious losses in troops, this. Sun Jian's face was full of embarrassment, and his eyes flashed with hatred as he spoke.
In the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, most of the 20,000 Jiangdong sons under his command were lost, and now there are only less than 8,000 people left. This is undoubtedly a very serious blow to Sun Jian.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu coldly, without the slightest anger at being ridiculed.
He said indifferently: "My senior brother has already gone to invite Duke Chu out of the mountain. ”
Chu Gong!
Quiet, there was a dead silence in the tent.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and their faces were full of shock.
What a figure of the Duke of Chu, a person who has lived for at least two or three hundred years, was once highly active in the era of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and was even praised by Emperor Guangwu as the top powerhouse of the country. It's just that the Duke of Chu, who even refused the reward and invitation of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu back then, will really go out of the mountain again because of Yuan Shao?
Everyone looked at each other, and finally understood Yuan Shao's confidence.
Duke Chu, a top powerhouse who had a profound influence on the Han Dynasty but was indifferent to fame and fortune, was indeed enough to make anyone look forward to the future.
Yuan Shu's mouth opened and closed slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Chu Gong is by no means an existence that he can slander or despise.
Yuan Shu was silent for a while, and then said coldly with envy and hatred: "What kind of graceful person is the Duke of Chu, a generation of sages who even refused the rewards and invitations of Emperor Guangwu, will come out of the mountain because of you Yuan Benchu?" ”
The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smug and confident smile: "Senior brother has returned from the message, and Duke Chu has promised to go out of the mountain." ”
"What!"
Everyone exclaimed, their faces full of disbelief, but most of them were surprised.
The Duke of Chu only went out of the mountain once that year, and he helped Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu to win the world. Now this great power, who has been in seclusion for two hundred years, will go out of the mountain again at the invitation of Yuan Shao.
Everyone was in a complicated mood, and their eyes looked at Yuan Shao a little differently.
Such a living fairy-like figure really made them have to look up to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao felt the change in everyone's eyes, and his heart became more and more proud.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh a little.
Although Duke Chu promised to go out of the mountain, he was only willing to help him once. After this time, the two were ruthless. Mi Zhao can choose to stay on his own, but Yuan Shao is not allowed to regard himself as a disciple of Meishan in the future.
Of course, Yuan Shao naturally wouldn't tell everyone about this.
And this matter is not without Yuan Shao's doubts, that is, it is far more than Chu Gong who went out of the mountain this time. There is also a mysterious and noble being.
It's just that about the identity of that person, Yuan Shao didn't get the slightest information from Qi Zhao.
But although he didn't know, he was looking forward to it. After all, if you can make Mi Zhao say such an evaluation as extremely noble, it is obvious that the other party's origin and identity must be extraordinary.
