Silence.
The entire hall was silent.
Unsurprisingly, everyone's eyes were focused on Baili Ming.
Did they hear wrongly just now?
Was Sun Jian able to enter Mushui Pass all because of this young man's plan?
How was this possible?
Could it be that they had lived for decades and were inferior to this young man?
Not only the heroes, even Yuan Shao was stunned.
After a long time, he laughed dryly and said,"
"Hehehe…I didn't expect Brother Wentai to be so humorous!"
"You can't joke about this!"
With Yuan Shao speaking, all the dukes reacted and immediately smiled.
"Brother Wentai is really funny!"
"This joke has gone too far!"
"Brother Wentai must be joking."
All the dukes laughed. Only Cao Cao's narrowed eyes were sizing up Baili Ming. Seeing that he was not panicking in the face of this situation, and was still calm and composed, his eyes lit up.
Baili Ming felt goosebumps all over his back.
The same gaze seemed to come from behind the dukes.
He looked in the direction of the feeling and saw three soldiers with special appearances sitting behind a burly general.
The person in the lead was not tall and had a kind face. When he saw his gaze, he nodded and smiled.
The two people behind him were tall and short, one red and one black, but they were both over eight feet tall and extremely burly.
Seeing this, Baili Ming couldn't help but think,"
"Could this be Liu Guan and Zhang?"
Just as he was thinking, Sun Jian explained to the dukes,
"Everyone, Jian Zhen is not joking. This time, entering the pass is all thanks to the military counselor!”
"Yes, yes, whatever Wen Taiyuan says!”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he naturally still did not believe it.
He didn't believe that such a plan would come from a young man who was still wet behind his ears.
If that was really the case, what were all the scholars under him doing?
This must be Sun Jian's self-deprecating excuse!
However, he did not want to dwell on this issue. He took the opportunity to smile and said,
"Wentai, everyone has come from afar and is naturally tired. Why don't we start the banquet now?”
"Good!"
Sun Jian wanted to take this opportunity to ask for merit from Baili Ming, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to talk about him, so he lost interest and could only arrange a banquet.
Baili Ming stood behind Sun Jian and whispered,"
"My lord, there's no need to say anything more. Ming is a white body and is still young. The vassals are naturally unwilling to believe it.”
"We can use this opportunity to suggest to Yuan Shao that we split up and go north. The sooner our army leaves, the better!”
Sun Jian came to his senses when he heard his whisper.
The reason why the dukes did not believe him was mostly because Baili Ming did not have a prominent family background.
First, he had no family background, and second, he was young. How could these dukes, who were usually ranked by family background, discover the brilliance of his military counselor?
Thinking of this, he was both angry and glad.
He was angry that the military counselor was a talented person, but he was not understood by these good-for-nothings.
Fortunately, it was probably because of this that Baili Ming chose to rely on him!
This was because he was the only one among the dukes who didn't care about family status!
However, other than these two points, he was also a little touched.
Now that the military counselor was being looked down upon so coldly, he did not forget to remind him to achieve his goal. Such a broad mind was admirable!
Sun Jian nodded and made up his mind.
In the future, when he gained power, he would definitely let a great talent like the military counselor become famous and leave his name in history!
After the two of them finished talking and drank three rounds of wine, Yuan Shu left the banquet early. Yuan Shao smiled when he saw this and immediately put down his cup. He looked at everyone and said with a smile,
"Everyone, now that Wentai has obtained Mushui Pass, Luoyang is right in front of us!”
"Our army's victory is just around the corner!"
"With this great victory, I would like to ask everyone how our army should send troops to kill Dong Zhuo in one battle.”
As soon as he said this, the vassals laughed and said,
"Now that things have come to this, what more can we say? After a few days, we will charge into the pass.”
"Alliance Master, our army is more than two hundred thousand strong, why should we be afraid of Dong Zhuo!”
"In my opinion, we can split into two groups. One group will attack Hulao Pass from both sides, and the other group will deal with Dong Zhuo's army.”
......
Compared to the silence from before, without the barrier, the feudal vassals were confident that they had more soldiers and naturally did not fear Dong Zhuo. The atmosphere was extremely warm.
Hearing this, Yuan Shao was also very satisfied and nodded his head. After the duke finished his explanation, he looked at Cao Cao and said,
"Why is Meng De not saying anything today?”
Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned and stood up, cupping his hands,"
"Alliance Master, I think it's too early for our army to be happy.”
"Although Dong Zhuo has lost Mushui Pass, his main force still exists.”
"If our army is careless, I'm afraid we will suffer a great defeat!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone stand up and say with a smile,
“嗐! Meng De's words really boosted the morale of others and reduced his own prestige!”
"Our army is at its peak. It's fine if Dong Zhuo doesn't flee like a rat.”
"In my opinion, our army will be able to kill that thief Dong in 10 days!”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. They looked towards the source of the voice and saw that the person who stood up was Kong Rong, Kong Wenju!
Seeing that it was Kong Rong, it wasn't strange.
Kong Rong was a great scholar and had always been bold and unrestrained. It was normal for him to say this now.
However, Kong Rong's words went along with their wishes.
Right now, the alliance army did not have much food and grass. It was naturally a good thing that they could win quickly.
Therefore, everyone began to agree.
Cao Cao saw that everyone was agreeing with him, and his eyes narrowed once again. He glanced at Sun Jian, and seeing that Sun Jian was also silent, he smiled and said,
"Everyone, please don't criticize me. I see that Brother Wentai is not saying a word.”
These words led the attention of the dukes to Sun Jian.
Yuan Shao also smiled when he saw this and said,"
"That's right. The cultural platform is the host today. How can you not say a word?”
"If you have anything to say, please say it!"
Sun Jian was drinking wine when he heard this. He stood up and said with a smile,
"Reporting to Alliance Master, there's nothing else to say. The only thing is that Alliance Master's army has arrived and Jian is about to attack the east of the river.”
"I was just about to say goodbye to the Alliance Master!"
"What is it? Wentai is leaving?"
The moment Yuan Shao heard, his expression immediately changed.
The dukes also paused in their movements and looked at Sun Jian in surprise.
The decisive battle was about to begin, and Sun Jian was actually planning to retreat?
What was going on?
Sun Jian had seen everyone's reaction, but Baili Ming had already expected it.
He wasn't panicking at this moment. He just followed Baili Ming's words and explained with a smile,"
"Everyone, there's no need to think too much."
"He insisted on going north because he was thinking about the big picture!”
"Now that our army has invaded Mushui Pass, Luoyang is right in front of us. With everyone here, Dong Zhuo is no match for us.”
"But it's easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow.”
"I think that Dong Zhuo has lost this stage and there is no chance of turning the tables on the surface. He might want to attack our weakness from the side.”
"Now that our main force is heading south, the north is empty. If Dong Zhuo sends an army to attack our retreat and cut off our food supply, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"I have thought about it for a long time. I feel that our army has seized the Si River and is tired. It is better to take advantage of the situation to go north and attack the east of the river!”
"This way, we can let our soldiers recuperate and also add a barrier to our retreat!”
"Therefore, I am ready to bid farewell to the Alliance Master and head north when you arrive.”
"Now that Alliance Master asked, I took advantage of the situation to say it!”
Speaking up to this point, Sun Jian cupped his hands towards Yuan Shao in a righteous manner and said,
"If you insist on going north, please agree, Alliance Master!”
"I see! Wentai is really far-sighted!"
After hearing Sun Jian's words, Yuan Shao and the other dukes nodded repeatedly.
It was just as Sun Jian had said. Now that they had entered the Si River, Dong Zhuo's Luoyang defense line was on the verge of collapse.
On the battlefield of Luoyang, it could be said that they had already lost half of the battle!
Faced with such a situation, he had to consider the possibility of a desperate action.
Tiger Cage Pass was guarded, but the east of the river was a vacuum!
The dukes were currently sending their main forces south. If they didn't send an army north, Dong Zhuo might really steal their home.
Thinking of this, the duke felt a lingering fear.
Especially Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and the others. Their hometown was next to Bingzhou, and it was extremely dangerous!
They looked at Sun Jian with gratitude.
Good heavens, the final battle was about to begin.
Sun Jian could still consider the bigger picture and take the initiative to defend the flanks.
How awe-inspiring was this!
One had to know that entering Luoyang first was a great merit!
Sun Jian went north, giving up the chance to enter Luoyang first.
In this way, he was clearly giving up on himself and considering the big picture!
What a good comrade!
And such a good comrade was actually deducted by Yuan Shu. Just thinking about it was infuriating!
Yuan Shao was moved for a while, as he waved his hand without hesitation and said,
"Since Wentai has such righteousness, how can I not allow it!”
"Just go to Wentai!"
"Mushui Pass has us!"
After saying that, he raised his wine glass and said,
"Come, come, come. Let's drink for the sake of Wentai!”
Seeing this, the dukes naturally stood up and raised their cups to welcome him.
Sun Jian raised his cup with a smile on his face.
This way, things would be stable!
