The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 307
The alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu was originally about taking what they needed and helping each other, and it was not a unilateral squeeze on Yuan Shu by the Lin Dynasty.

After all, a pair of skeletons can't squeeze out much oil...

Even in the process of the alliance, Liu Bei was the one who suffered the most.

Because under Lin Chao's instruction, Liu Bei not only recommended Yuan Shu as the leader, but also asked Lin Chao to come out to frighten Yuan Shao, who seemed not very willing to obey.

The result was naturally very smooth. After Yan Liangwen Chou was captured alive, Yuan Shao's voice became much lower.

He also heard from Lin Chao that the feudal lords from all walks of life had completed their oaths, and after jointly electing Yuan Shu as the leader of the alliance, he no longer had the intention of competing for the position of leader.

Now that the deal is done, is it possible that Yuan Shao can still lead his army in and force Yuan Shu to give up the position of leader to himself?
Even if he wanted to do this, other princes would stop him.

After all, the key words of this alliance are still righteousness and dissatisfaction with Dong, and it is not time to tear each other's faces.

Yuan Shao is a smart person, so naturally he would not make a stupid choice at this time.

And when Lin Zichu came out just now, it was obviously instructed by Yuan Shu and Liu Bei to show his prestige to him.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao shook his head with a wry smile, pointed at Yan Liang and Wen Chou and smiled at Lin Chao: "Zi Chu, I and Han Shijun have just arrived, and now we should go to meet the leader and discuss Dong's plan together. These two are rude and ignorant, Zi Chu Can you spare them once?"

Meet the ally?

Lin Chao immediately sensed the elements.

It seems that Yuan Benchu ​​is planning to endure for a while.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't need to be convinced, just take it orally.

With this sentence, Yuan Shao should not have made troubles openly before the Alliance called for Dong.

As for the end of the discussion...

If he doesn't do anything, Lin Chao will do it for him.

Thinking about it, Lin Chao nodded and said: "What Yuan Taishou said is true, the most urgent thing is to attack Dong Bandit. It's just that these two strong men, don't be so reckless in the future, and if they fall into the hands of Lin, they can be lucky enough to get them back." A life. If it falls into the hands of others, it may not be certain."

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were bound, when he heard Lin Chao's taunting words, his face turned red, his forehead was bulging, and his gaze towards Lin Chao was full of anger and murderous intent.

Lin Chaohun didn't care about their incompetence and rage, he just sneered and ordered them to be released.

"Yuan Taishou, please follow me into the camp to meet the leader!"

Lin Chao smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

At the thought of bowing to Yuan Shu later, and thinking of Yuan Shu's humble look on his face, Yuan Shao felt aggrieved in his heart.But the current situation is stronger than others, and he has to give in for the time being.

"It's natural, Zichu please lead the way!"

Yuan Shao said blankly, and at the same time greeted Han Fu to the rear, ready to enter the camp together.

……

Xingyang.

Cao Cao stayed in the Suanzao camp for a long time, until Liu Beiguang issued a letter of worship, inviting all the princes to make oaths and elect the leader of the alliance, but he still did not see Yuan Shao coming, and he was a little disappointed.

His original intention of raising troops was to win over Dong, and now seeing signs of dissent within the coalition forces, he couldn't help but feel sad and disappointed.But he didn't want to delay Yuan Shao's time, so he led the troops westward alone, heading straight for Xingyang.

The original intention of this action was to get rid of the intrigue among the coalition forces, and at the same time take the lead in advancing troops, and also to detect the reality of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, so as to prepare in advance for the coalition forces' large-scale attack.

I have to say that Lao Cao at this time is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!

Xingyang County is just an ordinary county, so naturally there is nothing to say.

But after crossing Xingyang and traveling westward for less than a hundred miles, we arrived at Chenggao County.In front of the county, there is a very famous pass called Sishui Pass.

Sishui Pass, also known as Hulao Pass and Xuanmen Pass, is one of the eight passes in Luoyang.

These days, the Kwantung's campaign against Dong is getting stronger and stronger, no matter how sweet Dong Zhuo's heart is, he has to step up his defense at Luoyang Baguan.

Among them, the Sishui Pass, which directly faces Yanzhou and Yuzhou, is the focus of defense.

Cao Cao's trip was to find out how many troops there are at Sishui Pass and how to break through it.

Although the idea is good, it is a pity that let alone Sishui Pass, even Xingyang and Cao Cao failed to reach it.

He led 5000 troops under his command and traveled more than ten miles east of Xingyang County. He had just crossed Bianshui when he was attacked by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.

Isn't that a coincidence!
You, Cao Cao, want to find out the depth of Sishui Pass, and Mr. Dong also wants to see the strength of your coalition forces.

You can't just allow you to attack, but Mr. Dong is not allowed to fight back.

Since ancient times, the conversion of attack and attack has only happened in an instant.

Just like Cao Cao at the moment.As soon as the two armies met, General Xu Rong of Zhonglang launched a fierce attack on Cao Cao relying on his large numbers.

Seeing that Xu Rong had several times the strength of his own side, Cao Cao didn't hesitate, and led his army directly to charge forward.

When the Yellow Turban was pacified in the past, Cao Cao was a captain of cavalry and led his troops to support Huangfusong, so he was not without actual combat experience.In addition, he himself has studied the art of war for a period of time, and he knows the truth that the best in soldiers and horses is not enough.

Although he has few soldiers, all the soldiers under his command are recruited by himself, so they may not be incapable of fighting.

In short, Cao Cao at this time is similar to Zhao Kuo in the Battle of Changping, and I always feel that...the advantage lies with me.

As soon as the two sides fought, facing the veterans under Xu Rong's command, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were also unambiguous, and the two sides fought back and forth.

But after a long time, Cao Cao couldn't hold on anymore.

Five thousand to twenty thousand, the gap is really too big.

In addition, Xu Rong led most of them were veterans who had followed the generals of the previous generation and fought in the north and south.

The elite soldiers who followed He Miao, Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and others are now gathered under Xu Rong's command.These soldiers have fought countless times in their lives, and their tenacity is far beyond what Cao Cao's recruits can match.

So no matter how much Cao Cao boosted morale, the soldiers under his command gradually became defeated.

Cao Cao was naturally not reconciled, and even wanted to charge to the front for a while to boost morale, but fortunately, Wei Zi stopped him.

"Minggong can't, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Minggong is a town of an army, how can he personally take risks!"

On the battlefield, Wei Zi shouted loudly to Cao Cao: "The bandit army is powerful now, and the morale of our soldiers is low. None of them have the will to fight. For today's plan, we can only retreat to survive. Keep a useful body, and it will be destroyed in the future." Day of Thieves!"

Cao Cao didn't understand this truth, but he didn't want to do it.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was filled with anger and resignation as he watched the soldiers who were constantly being defeated at the front.

After dissipating all the wealth by himself, and with the help of Wei Zi, he recruited more than 5000 people. Now that the battle has not yet been fought, and it is about to be exhausted, how can he be willing to fail.

"No, you can't retreat!"

Cao Cao's eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead popped up. He waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Now our soldiers and the bandits are fighting fiercely. If the troops are withdrawn, how can the soldiers retreat? If the bandits take advantage of the situation to hide and kill us, we will all die. No place to die!"

After all, Cao Cao pointed at Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and others, and ordered loudly: "You, each lead your own soldiers, and give someone the lead. Be sure to kill the bandit army!"

"This……"

Xiahou Dun was the oldest and calmest of the generals. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Meng De, we will all go forward to kill the enemy, who will protect your safety!"

"I have always been good at martial arts, so why do I need other people's protection!" Cao Cha roared, "Besides, if our army is defeated, we can't protect ourselves. If we can kill the bandits, we will be as safe as Mount Tai! Go!"

"only!"

Seeing that Cao Cao had made up his mind, the generals no longer hesitated, and all led their soldiers to rush forward.By Cao Cao's side, only Wei Zi and Xu Chu were left as guards.

As for Xu Chu, he was also a powerful man from Qiao County.When the Yellow Turbans were in chaos in the early years, he also called thousands of households in the village to resist the Yellow Turbans.

Now that the world is in chaos, when Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao's family went to join Cao Cao in Chenliu, Xu Chu followed them.

Of course, he only brought two or three brothers from the clan, even if he went alone.Just like San Xun voted for Liu Bei, and Xun Shuang refused to move the Xun family to Xuzhou, it can only be regarded as a personal behavior, not the attachment of the entire clan.

After all, Cao Cao now, although he has a little reputation, has no land, no official position, no soldiers and horses, and no boss.

Xu Chu had always been silent and never said much, but Cao Cao was very reassured by his Zhuang Su, so he was cited as his personal guard.

At this moment, he saw a large number of Cao family members, and Xiahou family's big men rushed up, and the heavy responsibility of protecting Cao Cao fell on him, so he clenched the sword in his hand even more.

Compared with the precarious Cao Cao, under Dong Zhuojun's banner, Xu Rong stood with his sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the situation on the battlefield.

Xu Rong looks about 40 years old, not tall, average-looking, and not burly.

From top to bottom, the only outstanding thing is his eyes.

The eyeballs are not big, but they are very bright, and they can stare at one thing for a long time without taking their eyes off it.When looking at other people, it is often intimidating.

It has been almost half a day since the start of the war, and General Xu has not blinked a few times...

Are his eyes dry?

Lieutenant Zhang Xiu next to him thought in his heart.

Zhang Xiu is also 24 and [-] years old this year. Ever since he lost his father when he was young, he followed Dong Zhuo with his uncle Zhang Ji and fought in the north and south for nearly ten years.

This time Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to conquer Suanzao, but Xu Rong was not from Liangzhou after all, nor was he a descendant of Dong Zhuo, and most of the troops under his command were elite generals from the previous dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Xu Rong, who was originally under He Jin's orders, naturally became Mr. Dong's subordinate.

Even though Xu Rong was activated, Mr. Dong was still a little worried. What if he led his troops out of the city and returned to Luoyang in the name of the Qing emperor, it would be a disaster.

Although this possibility is very small, Dong Zhuo is still planning to let his direct descendants lead some Xiliang elites to serve as Xu Rong's lieutenants.

But who to send?

Most of the direct line generals under Dong Zhuo's command have experienced many battles and became famous very early, so how could they be willing to submit to Xu Rong's command.

After many selections, Zhang Xiu, the second generation of the Xiliang Army, was finally selected, and led 5000 troops to serve as Xu Rong's deputy general.

Before leaving, his uncle Zhang Ji told Zhang Xiu that General Xu had been on the battlefield for a long time, and there were very few in the world who could compete with him.

As long as he has no intention of rebelling, how to fight this battle, you just learn from the sidelines and don't interrupt.

Zhang Xiu has always been convinced of his uncle's words, so he just followed Xu Rong all the way around, never talking too much.

Xu Rong naturally understood what Dong Zhuo meant, and was also willing to bring Zhang Xiu with him to show his loyalty.

At this time, Cao Jun had already shown his defeat, and Xu Rong was relieved, with a smile on his face.

Hey, General Xu blinked just now!

Zhang Xiu's heart was full of shock.

I saw Xu Rong waved his dagger, pointed at the battlefield ahead, and smiled at Zhang Xiu: "The bandit army is trying to resist the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court. They are really overestimating their capabilities and will eventually kill themselves!"

Zhang Xiu thought about his uncle Zhang Ji's words, nodded vigorously immediately, and clasped his fists in agreement: "What the general said is true!"

Seeing this, Xu Rong shook his head and smiled, looking at Zhang Xiu with love in his eyes.

This son is respectful and polite, never disobeying his orders by relying on his status, but obeying his own words, which is really rare.

But he didn't know that the so-called respectful and polite Zhang Xiu was just a natural fool...

Seeing that Cao Cao's army was about to be defeated, Xu Rong planned to let Zhang Xiu personally lead the troops to charge and kill, so that he could share some of the credit.

One, I am not Dong Xiangguo's confidant, so I dare not take all the credit for it.

The two can be counted as good Zhang Ji, and can integrate into the Xiliang army system faster.

Of the three, I also like Zhang Xiu very much, so I just give him a favor.

Thinking about it, Xu Rong smiled and said: "The bandit army will be defeated, is General Zhang interested in rushing to fight for a while?"

Zhang Xiu nodded immediately, cupped his fists and said: "What the general said is true!"

Hearing this, Xu Rong was taken aback for a moment, then continued to smile and said, "General Zhang, what I mean is, let you charge in person and kill the leader of the bandit, how about it?"

"What the general said is true!"

Xu Rong:? ? ?
"What does General Zhang mean by this?"

Zhang Xiu continued to cup his fists: "What the general said is true!"

……

　Lao Yu had long wanted to write Zhang Xiu in such a cute and silly way!
