"Report! My lord, there's a battle report from the direction of Mushui Pass!”
North of Luoyang, in Beimang Mountain, Sun Jian's camp.
After several days of traveling south, most of Sun Jian's troops had moved to the south bank of the Yellow River.
Following Baili Ming's plan, they set up camp on the west side of Northern Mang Mountain.
Other than Cheng Pu leading 8,000 troops to feign an attack on the north bank, the rest of the troops were on the south side.
At this moment, they were training the soldiers and patrolling the tents with the generals.
Upon hearing this battle report, Sun Jian hurriedly ordered his soldiers to step forward and ask,"
"What battle report is it?"
The soldier knelt on one knee and said,"
"Reporting to my lord, three days ago, our alliance army fought with Dong Zhuo in front of Mushui Pass, losing tens of thousands of soldiers and returning in defeat!”
"General Cao has sent a letter, asking the lord to attack the east of the river to reduce the pressure outside the pass!”
"What is it? The alliance army was defeated?"
Hearing this news, Sun Jian and the other generals were shocked.
They had already taken down the Mushui Pass, and the 200,000-strong allied army had entered the Si River. As long as they fought steadily, how could they be defeated?
They could even lose tens of thousands of soldiers. What was going on?
Sun Jian hurriedly took the battle report and read it.
This battle report was personally written by Cao Cao. He had sent people to the north to deliver the letter, and after traveling south, he had arrived here.
He wrote down how he fought and why he lost very clearly.
Finally, he attached a silk scroll written by Cao Cao, telling Sun Jian about the advantages and disadvantages of attacking the east of the river and Dong Zhuo to split up his forces so that they could seize another opportunity!
After reading the battle report for a while, Sun Jian was furious. He immediately threw the silk book away and said angrily,
"The Yuan brothers are really stupid!”
"How can a national matter be abandoned because of personal grudges?”
The generals were shocked to see Sun Jian so furious.
What happened to the Yuan brothers?
Why was the lord so angry?
Han Dang hurriedly picked up the silk book and read it. The other generals also went forward to read it.
However, it was fine if they didn't take a look. After taking a look, their faces darkened.
No wonder Sun Jian was angry.
What was originally a good situation was actually crippled by the Yuan Shao brothers!
Who wouldn't be angry when they saw this!
But at the same time, he felt lucky.
Fortunately, they had already gone north.
If they continued to deploy their troops at the Si River, they would probably have a share in this defeat!
As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a collapsing mountain. Once the hundreds of thousands of troops are in chaos, how can there be an intact egg under the overturned nest?
Zu Mao couldn't help but rejoice,"
"Fortunately, the military counselor strongly advised us to go north that day. Otherwise, our losses would have been huge!”
"Yes!"
Han Dang Huang Gai also sighed,
"We didn't understand what you said that day, but now it seems that this alliance army is really a motley crew that can't be joined!”
Hearing this, Sun Jian's anger was slightly comforted.
It was alright!
He listened to the military counselor and ran fast!
Seeing that everyone was like this, Zhao Yun could not help but ask in confusion,
"What are you all saying? Could it be that Mister Bai Li has already foreseen the defeat of the alliance army?”
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
Zu Mao looked at Zhao Yun and smiled,"
"Zilong, you don't know why our army went north?”
"After we conquered the Si River, we said that we would attack Luoyang, but the military counselor said that Dong Zhuo's army was extremely strong, and although the alliance army had many troops, they were not a match for him.”
"From the looks of it now, although the military counselor did not say that the alliance army would lose, he had already made a judgment about today's situation!”
Ah, this...
When Zhao Yun heard this, his tiger body trembled.
Did Baili Ming already predict the defeat of the alliance army before Dong Zhuo even sent out his troops?
What level of freakish monster was this!
No wonder Sun Jianjun had a smooth journey so far.
If all wars were fought like this, how could they not win every battle!
However, when he thought of this, he frowned and said,
"But, since Mister Bai Li predicted the defeat of the alliance army, why didn't you tell the Alliance Master about this?”
"If we tell them, we might be able to save our army from this defeat!”
Zu Mao and the rest were stunned when they heard this.
That was one thing.
No matter what, they were still part of the alliance army.
Knowing that he would lose but not warning him, this was obviously inappropriate.
Only Sun Jian slowly shook his head when he heard this.
"Zilong might not know, but I guess it's not that you don't want to tell me, but that Yuan Shao might not believe you!”
"The military counselor has always said that pride is bound to fail.”
"This principle not only applies to our army, but also to the entire alliance army!”
"Ever since our army took down Mushui Pass, the entire alliance army has become a proud army!”
"You weren't around that day, so you didn't know about the vassals. Now, even if the military counselor had said it, he would only be mocked!”
At this point, he could only shake his head.
If he had been disappointed in the alliance army before, now he was truly in despair.
Apart from Alliance Lord Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, and a few others who were still impressive, the rest of the vassals were all good-for-nothings!
Borrowing the words of the military counselor, how could these dukes fight Dong Zhuo?
He had to rely on himself to defeat Dong Zhuo!
With this thought in mind, Sun Jian quickly looked at Zu Mao and said,
"Darong, have you heard anything about Dong Zhuojun these days?”
When Zu Mao heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said,"
"I was just about to report to you that our scouts have gone over Beimang Mountain to investigate the enemy's movements. They found that Dong Zhuo's army has been driving the people around Luoyang toward Chang 'an.”
"There are tens of thousands of people every day. The capital should be moving!”
When Sun Jian and the other generals heard this, their hearts sank.
Good fellow!
First, the alliance army was defeated and Dong Zhuo moved the capital.
Everything was like a script, just like the military counselor's speculation!
Advisor Jun was really godly!
As he sighed inwardly, Sun Jian nodded and said,
"Got it! Do you know where the military counselor is now?"
Zu Mao thought for a moment and said,
"Advisor Jun said that he wanted to go out for a walk. He should be outside the camp now!”
"What is it? Is the military counselor outside the camp?"
Sun Jian's expression changed when he heard that. He said,
"Darong, we're not on the north bank!”
"This place is filled with wilderness. How can we let the military counselor wander around outside!”
When he heard Baili Ming strolling outside, his heart tightened.
It was not because Baili Ming was lazy, but because he was afraid that Baili Ming would be in danger!
If he only sent Da Chong to give his life to Military Advisor, then he would really have no place to complain!
However, when Zu Mao heard this, he smiled and said,"
"Don't worry, my lord. Why would I put the military counselor in danger? General Dian is following us!"
Hearing that Dian Wei was following him, Sun Jian's nervous mood eased.
After thinking for a while, she was still a little worried and said,
"Continue patrolling the camp. I'll go find the military counselor.”
Without waiting for a response, he hurried out of the camp.
Seeing Sun Jian's anxious look, the generals couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Now, the lord was probably more concerned about the military counselor than his children and Madam Wu!
He was afraid that he would bump into something!
This level of concern was really enviable!
