Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 375
Outside Hulao Pass, the camp of the allied forces of the princes.

These days, the lives of the princes in the Kanto region can be described as quite lively.

When it started very early, the Yellow Turban forces deployed heavy troops around him, making the princes around him panic, thinking that Chi You would make a big move!
As a result, Cao Cao left his most brave general, You Liang, and Cao Shen, who is both civil and military, to guard the house, instead of bringing them out to participate in the grand event of discussing Dong.

But Cao Cao would never have thought that the reason why Chi You sent heavy troops around was not to attack anyone at all, but to defend.

Just as the campaign against Dong was in full swing, a shocking news came from Yanzhou.

When the papers and rolls of paper books from Yanzhou came to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was startled and angry, and even prepared to withdraw his troops and turn his horse to fight Chi You.

Although in the eyes of future generations, Yuan Shao really doesn't look very good, but as one of the elite children of the family, Yuan Shao is definitely not as incompetent as future generations make him out to be.After seeing that roll of paper and those paper books, Yuan Shao immediately thought of the harmfulness of these two things to the family. This is digging the roots of their family!

Fortunately, all the princes had their own ideas, so they persuaded Yuan Shao back in time.

Kong Rong was the first to persuade Yuan Shao. Although Kong Rong was also a son of a noble family, he was one of the few loyal ministers of a big man, so he naturally didn't want to give up on the matter of begging Dong.Moreover, for papermaking and printing, Kong Rong does not hate these two technologies as much as other aristocratic families. What Kong Rong sees more is the role of these two things for scholars in the world.

Kong Rong, although his strength is not very good, but his family has a long history. He is the 19th grandson of Confucius. His reputation among the people in the world is not just for talking. Yuan Shao always has to consider Kong Rong's opinion. of.

The next person who appeared to persuade Yuan Shao not to retreat was Liu Bei Liu Xuande, a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty.Today's Liu Bei is not as miserable as in history.

Even compared to history, Liu Bei's situation is much better now, and he can barely be regarded as a powerful faction among the princes, and his two righteous brothers have undue courage.At least no one under Yuan Shao's command can compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Everyone has fought side by side in the Yellow Turbans, and they have a little bit of knowledge about each other's strength.

Moreover, Liu Bei not only made a move by himself, he also went to Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu to have two crying scenes, which made these two people also go with Liu Bei to persuade Yuan Shao to give up the idea of ​​​​withdrawing troops.

Therefore, several people's dissuasion can be regarded as calming down Yuan Shao a little.

For Liu Bei, he is a clan member of the Han family. Too powerful aristocratic family is not a good thing for the Han family. Now that some people are willing to weaken these aristocratic families, Liu Bei doesn't mind helping them secretly.

Next, even Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to dissuade Yuan Shao overtly and secretly.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang came from an aristocratic family, like Li Xiang, his ambition was aimed at that position. Therefore, they were happy to see someone weaken the aristocratic family.Moreover, in the past few years, Zhu Yuanzhang has also played some dark hands against those big and small families in Jiangdong.

And Zhao Kuangyin, who also had unlimited ambitions, persuaded Tao Qian, who also had the intention of withdrawing troops, in time.Under Zhao Kuangyin's fooling around, Tao Qian finally dispelled those small thoughts in his mind.

Poor Tao Qian, more than half of the military power in his subordinates is controlled by Zhao Kuangyin, and even the generals he relies on are actually Zhao Kuangyin's confidantes. For example, when Tao Qian sent Gao Yanping to fight, Gao Yanping I have to secretly ask Zhao Kuangyin for his thoughts.It's a pity that the current Tao Qian didn't realize Zhao Kuangyin's wolf ambition at all, and he even thought that Zhao Kuangyin was his confidant all the time!

In the end, even Cao Mengde stood up and tactfully advised Yuan Shao not to retreat for the time being, and to discuss everything after the discussion with Dong was over.

The advice of so many people finally had an effect, and Yuan Shao forcibly suppressed the idea of ​​withdrawing troops, and continued to attack Hulao Pass with peace of mind.

But within a few days, another piece of news came out suddenly, causing an uproar among the coalition forces again.

First, it was reported that the anti-kings in Qingzhou attacked the territory of Kong Rong and Liu Bei, and then it was reported that the Xiang family in Jingnan sent troops to attack Yizhou.Of course, the affairs of the Xiang clan had nothing to do with these princes, and were directly filtered by these princes habitually.

After that, news also came from Jiangdong, which was farther away, that the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan brazenly sent troops to attack Wujun.

This time, the situation was reversed all of a sudden, and Yuan Shao directly advised these princes not to withdraw their troops.Apparently, Yuan Shao's mind is not big. A few days ago, he was persuaded to withdraw the army, but Feng Shui took turns, and Yuan Shao found the opportunity for retribution so quickly. If he couldn't withdraw the army, everyone would not withdraw.

The most uncomfortable general among the princes present is Liu Bei. After finally getting a piece of land, Liu Bei doesn't want to just ruin it like this.

But because of Kong Rong's presence, Liu Bei couldn't send troops to rescue him.Kong Rong is simply a stunned young man, his house is about to be stolen by others, and he still wants to insist on begging Dong.With Kong Rong making such a statement, Liu Bei, who always valued his reputation the most, swallowed back the words that he was about to utter and wanted to retreat.

Unable to retreat smoothly, and reluctant to part with his own territory, Liu Bei had no choice but to send his generals back.So, in the next period of time, the brothers Guan Yu and Guan Sheng, who were always in good health, suddenly fell ill for no reason.

Compared with Liu Bei, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't worry much about his rear.On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang did not bring many troops to participate in the discussion against Dong this time, only a few thousand, which could not affect the overall situation at all.

Moreover, there were not many generals around Zhu Yuanzhang when he came out this time, and most of the generals and counselors were still left in Wu County by him.Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't worry at all that Hong Xiuquan would turn the world upside down while he was away.

Zhu Yuanzhang was confident that even if he retreated [-] steps, the generals he left in the rear could not repel Hong Xiuquan, but there would be no problem at all if he persisted until he returned.

At any rate, Zhu Yuanzhang had also fought against Hong Xiuquan for so many years, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a good understanding of Hong Xiuquan's situation. Except for Shi Dakai and a few generals with real talents, he didn't pay attention to others.
