After arranging for Baili Ming to be the military advisor, Sun Jian could not wait to ask about the current situation, asking if he should pursue the victory and attack Luoyang.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Baili Ming advised,
"Although Dong Zhuo has been defeated, he still has his forces. There are hundreds of thousands of elites under him.”
"Now that Mushui Pass has been lost, Dong Zhuo will definitely send a large number of reinforcements. If we rashly enter Luoyang, we will become the target of everyone and will be surrounded and annihilated.”
"Secondly, the vassals are still in the wild jujube, and all the tribes are blocked outside the tiger prison. If the lord enters Luoyang alone, what will the vassals think?”
"It would be better to report to Yuan Shao and ask the princes to come to Lishui Pass quickly.”
"Firstly, if the vassals come to help, our army will not fear Dong Zhuo's army.”
"Second, report your contributions and ask for compensation to reward the three armies.”
"During this period of time, our army can take in the captives and recuperate. It won't be too late to make plans after the alliance army arrives!”
Sun Jian was silent when he heard this.
Although he wanted to charge into Luoyang in one go, the military advisor's words were not without reason.
He already had 40,000 soldiers, but they were still not enough to face Dong Zhuo's elite troops.
After thinking for a while, he followed Baili Ming's words and sent an urgent report to Yuan Shao, asking him to quickly send reinforcements.
At the same time, he arranged for the generals to rest and train their troops. He also took in all the Western Liang captives and increased their combat strength!
......
The wild jujube in Chenliu County is the main tent of the princes.
Just as the strength of Sun Jian's subordinates increased greatly, the vassal's tent was filled with gloomy clouds.
There was no other reason than that the duke had suffered a small defeat.
Things had to start from a few days ago.
After Sun Jian went out to battle, there was a duke named Bao Xin in the alliance army.
Because he was afraid that Sun Jian would get the first credit, he secretly sent his younger brother Bao Zhong with 3,000 troops to attack the Si River from a small road.
However, he was defeated by Hwa Xiong with 500 cavalry.
Not only were the soldiers scattered, even Bao Zhong was beheaded.
Although this small defeat was small, it allowed the feudal vassals to see how powerful Dong Zhuo's army was.
The tall, mighty, and handsome Yuan Shao sat on the main seat and frowned."
"Now that Xu Rong has deployed his troops at Hulao Pass, our army cannot advance an inch.”
"A few days ago, General Bao's brother disobeyed orders and entered the army without permission. He was killed by Hua Xiong and many soldiers were killed.”
"Now that our army is blocked in two directions and defeated in one, we have lost our spirit.”
When the vassals heard this, they all remained silent.
The problem of the army being blocked was neither big nor small.
On the bright side, at least they wouldn't lose any soldiers, but on the bright side, they would be wasting their rations.
The allied army of nearly 300,000 consumed a huge amount of rations every day.
With just the wealth of the dukes, they would probably run out of food in less than two months.
If they still couldn't enter Luoyang by then, all their efforts would have been for naught!
Yuan Shao saw that all the vassals were silent and couldn't help but look around. He saw three people standing behind Gongsun Zan. They all had strange appearances and were sneering. He couldn't help but ask curiously,
"Who is behind Governor Gongsun?"
When Gongsun Zan heard this, he hurriedly called the three people behind him to step forward and said,
"This is my childhood brother, Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei!”
Cao Cao hurriedly said,
"Could it be Liu Xuande who defeated the Yellow Turbans?"
"That's right!"
Gongsun Zan nodded and quickly ordered Liu Bei and the others to come forward and greet him. He then explained his background in detail.
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said,"
"Since you're from the Han clan, take a seat.”
After Liu Bei thanked him and sat down, he looked at the dukes and frowned,"
"Do you really not have a plan?"
The dukes looked at each other and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and smiled,"
"Brother Benchu, I'm Guan Sun.| Wen Tai's troops are brave and brave, and may be able to gain something. We might as well wait and see.”
"Humph? Wait and see?"
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's mustache twitched as he coldly looked in Yuan Shu's direction and said,
"I want to wait and see, but some people don't want to!”
"To be honest, I received news yesterday that Sun Jian's troops fought against the enemy at Mushui Pass, killing General Hu Zhen and destroying 5,000 enemy cavalry!”
"This... This is good news!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed.
"Brother Wentai is worthy of being called the Tiger of River East. Why didn't Alliance Master tell us earlier?”
The dukes were overjoyed when they heard this.
He had thought that the alliance army's two routes would be ineffective, but he didn't expect Sun Jian to be the breakthrough point.
However, Yuan Shao became even more furious when he saw this and said,"
"But everyone, don't be too happy. Yesterday, Sun Jian not only sent a battle report, but also a document urging for food!”
"Our vanguard Sun Jian's troops only have one day's worth of rations left!”
"I've been urged several times to no avail, and the urge has come to me!”
"But after careful observation, there was still no food shipped out until this morning!”
"Without food, how could Sun Jian win?”
At this point, he had already revealed his true intentions. He coldly looked at Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the left, and said,
"Yuan Gonglu, oh Yuan Gonglu, what are you trying to do!”
When the dukes heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.
No wonder Yuan Shao's expression wasn't right today. So there was still this layer of relationship!
Everyone turned to look at Yuan Shu, their eyes filled with resentment.
We can't interfere with the struggle between the two of you, but you can't delay the important matter!
Was it okay not to give Sun Jian provisions?
When Sun Jian was defeated, who would fight this battle?
Are you going or am I going?
Wasn't this bullying an honest person?
For a moment, everyone in the tent looked at Yuan Shu with unfriendly eyes.
However, Yuan Shu sneered when he saw this.
Ever since he had decided to cut off Sun Jian's food supply, he had prepared an excuse. At this moment, he said faintly,
"Everyone, you really don't know how expensive rice is!”
"Do you think that I'm unwilling to give out food?”
"There really isn't much food left in the camp!”
"Now that spring plowing is about to begin, there aren't enough farmers to transport grain. Even if Aocang's grain wanted to be transported, it wouldn't be able to!”
"If I don't plan carefully, what will you eat?”
"I also know that Sun Jianjun is short of food, but it's just a day or two. It's not a big deal!”
This old bastard!
Hearing this, these words appeared in the hearts of the dukes in the tent.
What did he mean by not having enough rations for a day?
Not to mention a day, even a meal was a big deal!
Fighting a war was an extremely exhausting thing. If he didn't eat a meal, it could be a huge defeat!
Moreover, Sun Jian's army had run out of food!
No wonder Yuan Shao was so angry. Anyone would be angry!
If not for Yuan Shu's family background, the dukes would probably stand up and curse.
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu's unafraid expression and raised his eyebrows. He said coldly,"
"If you don't want to be the logistics officer, then let someone else do it. There's no need to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial here.”
"Humph!"
Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said,
"If I want to change people, then so be it. Do you think I want to be a logistics officer?”
"Whoever wants to do it can do it!"
His gaze did not shift as he confronted Yuan Shao across the air.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two Yuan brothers, Cao Cao hurriedly stood up and said with a smile,"
"Alliance Lord Yuan, don't be anxious. General Yuan, don't be impatient. Even if you want to change someone, you need time to arrange it.”
"Right now, the most important thing is to replenish Sun Jian's army's rations!”
"Brother Wentai has won many battles. This is the key to conquering Mushui Pass.”
Facing Cao Cao's offer, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and turned his head away. Yuan Shu, on the other hand, said generously,
"Forget it, forget it. I won't argue with you!”
"Sun Jian is short of food, right? The army has no surplus food. At most, my subordinates will suffer for a few days and I will make up for it for him!”
As he spoke, he pretended to call his soldiers over to arrange for Sun Jian's rations.
All the dukes frowned.
The rations would probably only arrive tomorrow. Sun Jian's army had been starved for two days, so what combat strength could they have?
Just as the duke was deep in thought, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the camp. He heard a shout from outside,
"Report! A battle report came from Sun Jian's army at Mushui Pass!”
Battle report!
When the vassals heard this, they were all shocked.
It wasn't a document urging for food, but a battle report!
Had Sun Jian been defeated?
