Chapter 181
In Cao Jun's big tent, Zhang Guiba was still thinking about what Wu Yong said just now.

Yuan Shu didn't seem to be successful in any way. Leaving aside his confrontation with Wang Jing, he went north to attack Pizhou, but was defeated by Murong Shaozong's troops in Pizhou.

Murong Shaozong, as a world-class famous general, has not yet arrived at this time.

But the soldiers and horses he commanded to attack Hou Jing had already arrived, because Murong Shaozong was a descendant of Murong Ke, the former governor of Yan Dazhong, and he was in the same line as the Murong family of Yan State.

Therefore, his clan united with the Murong clan of Nanyan, and the two sides joined forces to annex the troops originally sent by Gao Cheng of the Northern Qi Dynasty and occupy Pizhou.

Before the two sides merged, Yuan Shu got the news and took advantage of the confusion between the two sides, and wanted to go north to pick up a bargain.

But he went north to use troops for a long time, and he didn't take advantage of anything. Instead, the opponent used Murong iron cavalry to defeat the army. If it wasn't for the opponent not chasing aggressively, it would not be easy for Yuan Shu to withdraw.

"Except for sweeping those rogue horse thieves and small and medium-sized forces, Yuan Shu seems to have not won against strong enemies!"

Such thoughts emerged in Zhang Guiba's mind.

Yuan Shu's family background was rich, and when he arrived, all his civil and military teams were there, and he had a not-so-weak army.

Taking advantage of the arrival of countless people and many forces, he took advantage of the situation to attack those forces that were still relatively weak.Everywhere is beneficial.

But when the power grows up.

It will not be so easy for Yuan Shu to expand abroad. Whether he is going north to attack Nanyan, or jointly attacking Zhang Lin with the Cao army, he has suffered repeated setbacks.

Thinking of this, Zhang Guiba felt a little bit more disdain for Yuan Shu.

Although he didn't take Yuan Shu seriously, but realizing the other party's incompetence made his impression of Yuan Shu even worse.

"If nothing can be done, defecting to Wang Jing is also a way out!"

Inspired by Wu Yong's talent.

At this time Zhang Guiba began to seriously consider what benefits he would get if he defected to Wang Jing.

At this time.

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

"General Fei and General Ma are here!"

The soldiers guarding the big tent reported outside, and then two generals in armor came in angrily. Both of them were high-ranking grass soldiers who had followed Huang Chao in the army.

However, Fei Quangu and Ma Xiang's abilities are limited, and their reputations cannot compare with those of Shang Rang and Meng Kai who followed Huang Chao back then.

In a horizontal comparison, their abilities are about the same as those of Mu Chun and Chen Da.

"It's so deceiving!"

After Fei Quangu came in, without waiting for Zhang Guiba to question him, he yelled angrily: "I went to the city to ask for food and grass, but Ji Ling didn't come out and didn't say anything, and even asked a small official to come out to prevaricate."

"According to what we agreed when we retreated, Yuan Jun would send us [-] shi of food and grass every ten days. We went today, but this little official only gave us half of it!"

Fifteen hundred shi of grain and grass is an astronomical figure for one person to eat, and it will last a lifetime.

But let tens of thousands of Cao Jun eat it, and it will be finished in a few days.

There is still some food and grass in the Cao army camp, but they can't just sit and eat, so they need some food and grass from Yuan Jun as an aid.

In the opinion of General Cao Jun.

They made great efforts for Yuan Shu, and for Yuan Shu's great plan, they couldn't help losing 30 elite soldiers, and also lost their own territory, and lost [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians.

What's wrong with asking Yuan Shu to give some food and grass for such a big sacrifice?This is all as it should be!

But in Yuan Shu's view, the main reason why the army retreated from the battle a month ago was the incompetence of the grass army!The generals sent out had [-] elite soldiers in their hands, but they were wiped out by the Zhennan Army in four days.

And Zhang Guiba.In order to show his sincerity, Yuan Shu even sent Ji Ling, the number one general under his command, to serve as his deputy.Follow Zhang Guiba's command.

After the two sides form an alliance, there will be [-] troops!
One hundred thousand troops besieged the Tang army camp continuously, but they couldn't attack for a long time.

Yuan Jun made such a big sacrifice, but Zhang Guiba made a lot of chicken feathers, and he couldn't see any ability that belonged to the general.

Yuan Jun didn't take the opportunity to annex Cao Jun, it was because of the face of his allies, if Yuan Shu and Ji Lingxin were more ruthless, they would directly send troops to surround Cao Jun's camp.

There is no need to attack, as long as it is surrounded for more than half a month, the grass army can be defeated without a fight because of lack of food and grass.

In fact.

In Suining City, both Yan Xiang and Yang Hong had such suggestions, and Yuan Shu also gave orders to Ji Ling, but Ji Ling considered that the two parties were allies who had made alliances.

Let him suddenly make a black hand, I feel a little sorry in my heart, so I haven't made up my mind for the time being.

However, Ji Ling will definitely obey Yuan Shu's order in the end.

Since he was about to turn his back on him, Cao Jun would definitely not be supplemented with food and grass. The [-] shi grain and grass given today was mainly to buy time for Yuan Jun to be mobilized.

"What did General Ji Ling say?"

Zhang Guiba's complexion sank, and a ball of anger also arose in his heart.

"We haven't even seen Ji Ling... Asking the other party is just prevarication. General, Ji Ling didn't see us as allies at all. He didn't fulfill any of the conditions agreed upon when he retreated!"

Ma Xiang said angrily.

"General, Yuan Shu doesn't take us seriously at all, maybe they will plot against us at some point, we'd better leave as soon as possible!"

Fei Quangu suggested.

Zhang Guiba listened to the two talking, with a cold face, and said after a while: "Yuan Shu took the initiative to send people to form an alliance, but now he treats us as beggars! Our Cao army has lost all face!"

"Since Yuan Shu and Ji Ling don't give us face, we don't have to be polite to them!"

"The general wants to attack Bai Ze City and turn against Ji Ling?"

Fei Quangu and Ma Xiang were startled.

"Come on!"

Zhang Guiba suddenly called the guards outside, "Go and invite the envoy!"

"messenger?"

The two generals in the camp were stunned for a moment, and soon they saw a somewhat old-fashioned scholar brought in. After knowing that the other party was an envoy sent by Wang Jing.

Fei Quangu and Ma Xiang were shocked, Wang Jing sent envoys here, did they want to surrender?

Now that the future of the Cao army is uncertain, taking refuge in Wang Jing is also a way out.

Fei Quangu and Ma Xiang didn't take the fact that Cao Jun and Wang Jing were enemies more than a month ago and lost [-] elite soldiers.

They were also people before.

But after the rebels joined the grass army, they became powerful generals, and they were no longer ordinary people!

No matter how many ordinary people and soldiers died, it became a number in their eyes.

Huang Chao rebelled, from the Central Plains to Lingnan, and from Lingnan to Jiangnan, breaking through Luoyang and Chang'an all the way, killing the world with blood and corpses.

The inner mansion was burned to ashes, and the Tianjie was trampled to the bone.

This kind of wanton killing was treated like nothing among the grass army, and the generals of the grass army had long since taken human life seriously.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's not their relatives or friends who died.

"I agree to the conditions of General Zhennan!"

Zhang Guiba gritted his teeth and said: "Not only that, but I also want to send General Zhennan a big gift... May I ask the envoy, how long will it take to send a message to General Zhennan as quickly as possible?"

Wu Yong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement.

He forcibly suppressed his emotions, and immediately said: "When the villain came, he took a fast boat and went south in a single boat. He could reach Quiren in half a day, and then send a letter from Quiren to Wanshou Kuaima, and he could reply in a day!"

Zhang Guiba nodded slightly, and immediately sat down and wrote a letter quickly.

"Ma Xiang, you and the envoy's guards set out together to meet with General Zhennan and hand over this letter..."
