Chapter 623 You’re Too Bad

"Mr. Yuan, what should we do next?"

Yuan Shao's performance made Guo Tu flinch a little, while Gao Lan, who was born a warrior, was a little unwilling:
"If Su Yao is really so powerful, shouldn't he be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent future troubles?"

"Or does Lord Yuan want to give up his great cause?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the tent.

Why did they follow Yuan Shao?
But it’s not just because of the relationship with Yuan family’s disciples.

In these troubled times, this is even more of an investment.

Everyone hopes that they can have a discerning eye and choose a wise leader, so that they can go down in history and gain great fame and honor to benefit their descendants.

If Yuan Shao gave up, what would they do?
Noticing that people were losing their temper, Feng Ji immediately stepped forward and shouted to save the situation:
"You guys worry too much."

"How could Lord Yuan give up?"

"The Yuan family has three dukes in four generations, and has built a fortune for generations. Lord Yuan was born in such a prestigious family, how could he be the kind of person who would be as humble as a woman and hand over his hegemony to others?"

"Yuan Tu is right. It's impossible to give up."

Yuan Shao stood up, glanced around at the people in the tent, nodded and said:
"I am only reminding you all not to be arrogant and underestimate the enemy. It would be a small matter if you risk your life, but it would be terrible if it ruined our great cause."

"So what does Mr. Yuan mean..." Guo Tu asked tentatively.

"We can't be enemies with Su Yao for now."

Yuan Shao took a deep breath:

"The quality and organization of our troops are not enough to fight against Su Yao's elite troops."

"At the same time, this army does not completely belong to us. Once there are bad signs, this coalition of princes will scatter like birds and beasts."

"So, what we need now is to unite all the forces that can be united to deal with Dong Zhuo first. After we have dealt with this great enemy, we can then consider the struggle with Su Yao."

"Before that, you must be patient and wait for the right time."

However, no matter how nice Yuan Shao's words sound.

But the fact that he admitted defeat and surrendered here is hard to change.

Naturally, the people under his command would not be persuaded so easily:

"If Su Yao is really this powerful, what's the point of our patience? How long should we endure?"

Chun Yuqiong clenched his fists, his face expressionless:

"If we let him enter the capital and continue to pursue Dong Zhuo, I'm afraid Su Yao will only become stronger and stronger, and the gap between us and him will be even more difficult to make up."

"And the damn thing is that this kid is only twenty years old!"

"Are we going to put up with him forever?!"

As soon as Chunyu Qiong finished speaking, there were bursts of gasps in the tent.

said it.

This guy really speaks out.

That’s right, this terrible age difference is what makes them most desperate.

The aristocratic families had tolerated the two emperors Huan and Ling for decades.

Does that mean I have to put up with Su Yao for decades more?

Who can tolerate this?

"Captain Chunyu is wrong."

Yuan Shao frowned at first, then burst into laughter three times:

"You still don't understand our champion."

"But I know him!"

Yuan Shao snorted coldly:
"This person is frivolous and has a perverse personality."

“I have outstanding abilities, but I have trouble getting along with others.”

"Besides, he was too conceited about his abilities."

"In every battle, he would lead the way, and he would often leave the team and fight with only the best soldiers."

"Because of this, although he is invincible, he also has a fatal weakness."

"He relied too much on his own bravery to lead the way, and neglected the construction of the team and the base."

"Just like right now, he is traveling across the Central Plains, but he doesn't even have a reliable supply route."

"When everything is going smoothly, he will certainly move forward, but once he encounters a little setback, he will sink into the quagmire."

"This champion is like a gambler who puts all his chips on the line every time. He can win countless times, but as long as he loses once, he's done."

"What we need to do now is to watch his performance and cultivate our inner strength. We don't even need to eliminate Su."

"Mr. Yuan is right."

Feng Ji nodded in agreement:

"Given the way Champion Marquis conducts himself and his bellicosity, he will naturally create countless enemies for himself."

"It is impossible for such a person to become the ruler of the world. We can just sit back and watch him fail. Why should we step in ourselves?"

"Everyone, please remember your original intention. For our Lord Yuan, the key to defeating Dong Zhuo is to expand our influence. Using the name of defeating Dong Zhuo and the power of the princes, it is most important to build our own foundation."

"Before this goal is achieved, we must not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains!"

"Hahaha, the one who understands me best is Yuantu!"

Yuan Shao laughed and patted Feng Ji on the shoulder.

The two men really think alike.

"It's a pity that our plan to seize the capital has failed."

Feng Ji shook his head slightly unwillingly:
"Otherwise, Su Yao will get nothing, and we can use the capital as the center and remotely control Guandong, so there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things." "No problem, no problem."

Yuan Shao waved his hand:

"If he wants to enter the capital, let him enter."

"With Mr. Lu and others here, it seems that he did use some brains."

"If he doesn't enter Luoyang City, I don't think he will feel at ease to continue chasing Dong Zhuo."

After that, Yuan Shao made up his mind and asked Guo Tu to prepare gifts and go to Su Yao to convey his sincerity.

Yuan Shao, who had made up his mind not to go to war with Su Yao, was not stingy at all this time.

Not only did he send Guo Hui's head and the gifts he brought to Su Yao's camp in the south of the city, he also added some extra money of his own. At the same time, he expressed his condemnation of the rebels in the city and expressed his willingness to send troops to help him capture Luoyang City.

"My Lord Yuan said that the Marquis of Guanjun made great contributions in expelling Dong Zhuo. We did not expect that these clowns in Luoyang City would be so ungrateful."

"Therefore, as a member of the coalition army against Dong, Lord Yuan expressed his willingness to send troops to help, and work with Marquis Guanjun to quell the rebellion in Luoyang and recapture the capital."

Guo Tu was in Su Yao's tent. After he finished speaking, he would glance at Su Yao cautiously from time to time.

Su Yao had a faint smile on his face:

"I thought he would come to ask for punishment for the previous conflict, but I didn't expect that he would join forces with me?"

"Is this still the Yuan Benchu ​​I know?"

"You are not saying one thing in front of people and another behind their backs, setting a trap for me to fall into, right?"

Su Yao's words made Guo Tu's heart skip a beat. He quickly waved his hands and explained:
"Marquis Guanjun has misunderstood. Lord Yuan has absolutely no such intention."

"He knew that the Marquis of Guanjun had made great contributions to the court by expelling Dong Zhuo, and he was full of admiration for him and had absolutely no intention of harming him."

"We are willing to send troops to help this time purely for the purpose of defeating Dong Daye and maintaining order in Luoyang City."

Guo Tu spoke sincerely, but Su Yao's eyes were still deep, which made him feel uneasy.

After a moment, Su Yao finally spoke, with a hint of teasing in his voice:
"It doesn't matter."

"Since Mr. Yuan is so sincere, I will trust him for now and accept this gift."

"But there is no need to send troops to help."

Su Yao said slowly:

"I have my own way with Luoyang's affairs, so there is no need to trouble your army."

Guo Tu was stunned. He didn't expect Su Yao to reject Yuan Shao's help so directly.

This was something he had never expected.

To put it bluntly, their gifts are secondary. The most important thing is to maintain the alliance and attack Luoyang together.

This is the second best option. Since we can no longer occupy Luoyang City alone, we must strive to occupy a place in the city after the war and exert influence.

After all, you don’t have any soldiers in your city, so what weight do your words carry?
So, seeing Su Yao clearly refused, Guo Tu panicked and quickly advised:
"Why do you have to be so aggressive, sir?"

"Now that Dong the thief has fled, it is time for us to pursue him with all our strength. We should not waste time in this fortified city."

Guo Tu’s meaning was very clear.

Although there is not even a regular army in Luoyang City now, the city walls are high and solid, and it is not something that their troops without siege weapons can attack by force.

His Guandong Army had a large number of soldiers and generals, and they were outnumbered. As long as they took action and carried out large-scale demolition in the residential areas outside the city, they could produce enough siege equipment in a day or two at most.

On the other hand, although Su Yao's army had a large number of people and could be considered elite soldiers, this precisely meant that Su Yao's army did not have enough civilian laborers and engineers.

These people may be good at fighting, but when it comes to logistics and manufacturing, they are obviously not as efficient as the Kwantung Allied Forces.

"I hope Champion Hou will consider the overall situation and allow us to help."

"The sooner we put down the rebellion in Luoyang, the sooner you can pursue the traitor Dong Zhuo!"

Guo Tu tried to persuade Su Yao earnestly, but Su Yao just laughed:
"I appreciate your kindness."

"It's just Luoyang City, which is inhabited by small fry. Why do we need to mobilize so many troops?"

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is mighty and domineering. This mere Luoyang City is naturally no problem for you."

Guo Tu gritted his teeth and persuaded:

"However, time is running out. The captured emperor and the ministers are being cooked in a fire every day."

"As subjects, we should put our ruler and father first."

Before Guo Tu finished speaking, Su Yao waved his hand to interrupt his chatter:
"I understand what you mean."

"But you're wrong about one thing."

"I don't accept your help, not because I want to take advantage of you or spend time here to defeat Luoyang City."

"It's just that you're too incompetent and can't keep up with my pace."

"Huh? What?!"

Guo Tu was dumbfounded.

He doesn't understand the dish, but even though he can't keep up with the rhythm, he can understand the general idea.

Who would have thought that this champion would look down upon them? !
This is outrageous!
"Your Excellency is joking."

"Luoyang has been the imperial capital for hundreds of years. The city walls are high and solid. There are also children of aristocratic families causing chaos. My army is good at fortifications and can only be a help. How can it be a burden?"

Seeing Guo Xiang chattering endlessly like an old woman, repeating the same things over and over again about delaying the pursuit and the suffering of the emperor and his father, Su Yao became a little annoyed and clapped his hands to interrupt her:
"Mr. Guo, there is no need to say more. Everything will depend on the results."

"Go back and tell Yuan Benchu ​​that I, Su Yao, promise here that Luoyang City will be conquered before tomorrow."

"If I fail to do so, you can fight as you please, I will not interfere."

"Okay, let's see the guests off!"
