"Gongsun Bogui, what do you mean?”
"Punishing that old thief Dong Zhuo is to help the Great Han Dynasty and save His Majesty from danger. It is a matter that benefits the country and the people!”
"How can you give up halfway just because of a little setback?”
Yuan Shao instantly stood on the moral high ground and attacked Gongsun Zan.
However, it was obvious that this was not effective against Gongsun Zan.
His eyes widened in anger as he said in a deep voice,
"The state of the Han Dynasty is not something that can be changed by just one or two of us.”
"But my good brother, the commander of my White Horse Righteous Followers, Yan Gang, must return to my side alive!”
Sun Jian, who was standing beside Gongsun Zan, echoed,"
"Zu Mao has followed me for many years and has saved my life many times.”
"If I abandon him today, I'll be a son in vain!”
Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian didn't have a large territory.
However, their military strength was the strongest in the entire alliance army besides Yuan Er!
Especially Gongsun Zan.
His White Horse Righteous Servant had been guarding the border for many years, and every dazzling battle record was stained with the blood of the Wuhuan people!
In history, Gongsun Zan was also the biggest obstacle to Yuan Shao unifying the four prefectures of Hebei.
The two sides fought for nearly nine years.
It was not until the eve of the Battle of Guandu that Yuan Shao completely destroyed Gongsun Zan and occupied the four prefectures of Hebei.
From this, it could be seen how powerful Gongsun Zan was!
If Yuan Shao had not obtained the help of Qu Yi and the First Ascendant Death Warriors, it was unknown whether he would have been able to block Gongsun Zan's army.
It was still unknown who would end up in the north.
At this moment, if Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian insisted on leaving the Guandong alliance army.
The battle strength of the alliance army would be greatly reduced.
Apart from that, it would also cause a chain effect.
Those small dukes who already had the intention of retreating would quickly imitate these two.
The alliance army would also fall apart in an extremely short period of time.
Thus, no matter what, Yuan Shao could not allow Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan to leave the alliance army.
It was even more impossible for them to discuss the exchange of captives with Dong Zhuo in private.
However, Yuan Shao could not take out any bargaining chips that could satisfy Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan.
After much persuasion, he managed to stabilize the emotions of these two people and not immediately turn hostile.
After Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan left the camp, Yuan Shao's expression instantly sank.
Suddenly, the tent was opened again.
A green-robed scholar walked in hurriedly.
"My lord, I've investigated thoroughly."
"Back when Hua Xiong was at Mushui Pass, he was able to come up with a plan to attack the allied army's camp because he received guidance from a man named Gu Yi.”
"Gu Yi?"
"Who is this?"
Yuan Shao did not react when he heard Gu Yi's name.
After all.
As the alliance leader of the alliance army, and the leader of the aristocratic families in the world, the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao could be said to be "a noble person forgets things."
Yuan Shao had almost no impression of the poor commoner Gu Yi who was chased out of the alliance camp by Yuan Shu.
After listening to the azure-robed scholar's explanation.
Only then did Yuan Shao slowly recall a figure like Gu Yi.
"Ha, this Gu Yi is indeed talented.”
"But if you hang out with someone like Dong Zhuo, you'll end up dead sooner or later.”
Yuan Shao used facts to prove what was called "sour grapes".
Even though Gu Yi had already proven his ability.
But for someone of Yuan Shao's status, it was impossible for him to admit his mistakes.
In reality.
Back then, even if one of the vassals of the alliance army stood up for Gu Yi, it would not have made Gu Yi turn to Dong Zhuo and become enemies with the alliance army.
And now.
The various dukes of the alliance army dug a hole for themselves and finally ate this bitter fruit.
Their current goal was no longer to conquer Tiger Cage Pass, but to ensure that their forces would not suffer too great a loss!
Even Alliance Master Yuan Shao was helpless at this moment.
"My lord, we can change our way of thinking when facing Dong Zhuojun.”
The azure-robed scholar said.
"Oh? Zi Yuan? Do you want me to negotiate with Dong Zhuojun?”
The green-robed scholar was Yuan Shao's trusted advisor, Xu You.
At the same time, he was also Yuan Shao's best friend for many years.
He was also the current head of Yingchuan's Xu family!
Compared to Guo Tu and Feng Ji, who had just joined the army, the two of them were much stronger.
In terms of personal feelings, Yuan Shao and Xu You undoubtedly had the deepest.
But as the saying goes.
Love is deep, hate is deep.
Perhaps it was because of the deep personal relationship between Yuan Shao and Xu You.
During the Battle of Guandu, Xu You believed that Yuan Shao would not punish him.
In the end, Yuan Shao, who was in a rage, decided to execute Xu You's family under the suggestion of the Rhythm Master Guo Tu!
This action deeply hurt Xu You.
It made him determined to betray Yuan Shao and join Cao Cao.
In the end, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu was decided.
And now.
The relationship between Xu You and Yuan Shao had not broken yet.
Xu You, who had a lot of ideas, thought of a plan for Yuan Shao to save the country.
