Chapter 143: The Alliance Collapses
Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang shocked the world, and the states and counties in the eastern part of the country raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and the princes from all walks of life led tens of thousands of troops, all of whom had been stationed in Sujube for more than two months.
"It's so deceitful! How could this Yuan Shao be so untrustworthy! Zhang Fei shouted angrily in the big tent
"The third master is cautious, be careful that the wall has ears!" Duan Yingjun said
"It's been more than two months since Yuan Shao returned to the camp, not only did he not lead his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, but he also forgot all about his eldest brother's kindness in saving him, and he was angry with me!" Zhang Fei said
"There are many troops in this big battalion, and all of them are elite soldiers, it is easy to annihilate Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and I don't know why I don't move all day." Guan Yu said
"Yes, I have been in the military all day long, and I don't know when I will be able to send troops, and restore the peace of the Han River as soon as possible." Liu Bei said
"What kind of military discussion, big brother, you haven't heard of it, these princes are simply drinking and having fun all day long, where do you take the crusade against Dong Zhuo to heart, a group of hypocrites with evil intentions!" Zhang Fei said
"Hugh is nonsense, rumors are not to be believed!" Liu Bei said
"What the third brother said is not a lie, this is a battlefield, and there are women in the camp, why is it not drinking and having fun?" Guan Yu said
"The lord should make plans early, I think that when Cao Cao returns from defeat, this coalition army will almost be disbanded." Duan Yingjun said
"Cao Cao is weak, and he crusades against Dong Zhuo alone, and defeat is inevitable, but what does it have to do with the dissolution of the coalition army?" Liu Bei asked
"Can't you see it, this is a farce at all! At the beginning, because they were afraid that Dong Zhuo would become big and then dominate the world, now because Dong Zhuo retreated from Luoyang, they have let go of their thoughts of hatred and hatred, and the people in this alliance are actually for themselves, and annexing each other is their real idea! Duan Yingjun said
"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed and left the big tent
"The eldest brother doesn't know this, but he is alone, it is difficult to make a difference, and who knows the bitterness in his heart." Guan Yu said
"Eagle Army, what do you think we should do next?" Zhang Fei asked
"Make a name for yourself! The only thing the lord can do now is to make his reputation bigger, in this era, reputation has a great role, and the lord is still a royal family, the greater the fame, the greater the help in the future. Duan Yingjun said
"Do you have a good idea?" Guan Yu asked
"Yes, and it's a shortcut, I don't know if you dare to go!" Duan Yingjun said
"Then it depends on whether your method is reliable or not!" Guan Yu said
"Defeat Lu Bu!" Duan Yingjun said
"Second brother, this kid is having fun with us! We are not afraid of Lu Bu, but where is the opportunity to go head-to-head! Zhang Fei said
"Third master, don't worry, as long as you are ready, I think the opportunity will come soon!" Duan Yingjun said
"You mean, Dong Zhuo will come back? Impossible! Guan Yu asked
"I took a look at the topographic map, the Tiger Prison Pass is on the way to the retreat of the coalition forces, and the princes are not so easy to withdraw!" Duan Yingjun said affirmatively
"Report! Report to the general, the coalition forces have begun to withdraw their camps and retreat! The soldier came in and said
"Retirement? Why is that? Guan Yu asked
"It's said that the food is running out!" The soldier said
"It seems that the Kwantung Alliance really exists in name only, but our stage is coming!" Duan Yingjun said
Inside the jujube camp
"Adjutant General, drive the grain truck over, hurry up!" Geng Wu commanded
"Geng Wu, what do you mean by that?" Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu asked
"Lord, look over there." Geng Wu said
"Aren't these refugees entrenched outside the camp? But that's a lot! Han Fu said
"These people saw that the army was about to withdraw, so they came to ask for the remaining supplies, and the humble meaning was to leave some of the grain and grass for them." Geng Wu said
"What? Are you crazy? Han Fu said
"My lord, the benevolent are invincible! It's the reputation that counts! After Geng Wu finished speaking, Han Fu reacted and immediately ordered people to start distributing military rations
"Trial, I didn't expect Han Fu to have so much military rations!" Yuan Shang said (Yuan Shao's son)
"Since you want to retreat, it is a burden to keep more military rations, you might as well use it to do good deeds, buy people's hearts, and strengthen the name of benevolence and righteousness! Fame is a thing, the lord has always liked it! The judge said
"Come on, people, hurry up and drive our grain and grass carts over!" Yuan Shang hurriedly ordered to the soldiers beside him
When the princes saw this, they immediately grasped the meaning, and the refugees around them received a large amount of food
"This group of people will buy people's hearts!" Zhang Fei said
"Third master, don't worry, people's hearts are not so easy to buy!" Duan Yingjun said
To the west of the jujube camp
"Mr. Xun, you are really a strange person, my family master is alone, you are still willing to follow, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation as a water mirror?" Li Dian asked
"Any force starts from the end, and the strength will soon become stronger!" Xun Yu said
"Soon? You let the lord forcibly attack Dong Zhuo, obviously you are going to die! Li Dian said
"Report! General, the lord is back! Li Dian looked in the direction pointed by the soldier, and couldn't help but feel nervous, it was too miserable! Although Dong Zhuobing is strong and strong, only dozens of people have returned, and all of them are injured, which is too bad.
"Inevitably, the morale of the army was damaged, and when the news was released, the number of Dong Zhuojun was exaggerated!" Li Dian commanded
"A win is a victory, a defeat is a defeat, why hide it!" After Xun Yu finished speaking, he tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards Cao Cao, who was defeated and retreated
"Xun Yu, congratulations to Lord Cao for his timely defeat!" Xun Yu not only had a loud voice, but also was happy, and he was really congratulating Cao Cao
"Cao really wants to know why the strong people in the world want to get Baqi, so I have already followed your instructions and come back embarrassed!" Cao Cao said
"The courage of adults to employ people without doubt has made me die without regrets!" Xun Yu said
"Boy, you know that you are going to let the lord die, what is your intention!"
"Since you die without regrets, we will fulfill you!"
The soldiers, who were badly wounded and had returned from defeat, shouted angrily
"Xiahoudun thanked the master for your kindness, but now is not the time to kill him." Xiahoudun stopped the noise of the soldiers
"Yuan Rang, it seems that you are very interested in this kid!" Cao Ren said
"I just want to see what the Water Mirror Baqi is capable of." Xiahoudun said
Xun Yu stretched out his hand and pointed, and drew everyone's attention to another place
"Aren't those people refugees around? Are you here to ask for food again? Cao Ren said, "Do you think this kid is a strategist, who doesn't know about such a thing as sending grain to buy people's hearts?" Ah Pu (Cao Cao's nickname), it seems that Baqi is also in vain! ”
"Come on, take some military rations and send these refugees away, and by the way, send this kid surnamed Xun to me too!" Xiahoudun said
"General Xiahou, please tell the people," Xun Yu said
"I know that our great lord has moved his heart of compassion and distributed food to them, so that they will remember the good of Lord Cao." Xiahoudun said
"Tell them that the military rations are for war, and let them all go back!" Xun Yu said
All the generals of the Cao army were stunned when they heard this, including Cao Cao! Isn't this person crazy, if he doesn't buy people's hearts, is this offending the people to death?
