After the feudal lords entered Hulao Pass, after dawn the next day, Yuan Shao called a military meeting.

"Everyone, Hulao Pass has been overcome, what should I do next?"

Yuan Shao sat on the front seat, fixed his eyes on the main entrance of the lobby, and asked without squinting.

"If you ask too much, it's natural to seize Luoyang." Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and said angrily.

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Shu, and said: "It is inevitable to occupy Luoyang. However, the fact that Qiao Mao killed Liu Dai just happened last night, our soldiers are not stable. If we rush to occupy Luoyang, if Dong Zhuo still has garrison in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be bad for our army!"

As soon as this remark came out, the princes in the hall whispered to each other and exchanged opinions in low voices.

Yuan Shao said again: "According to someone, our army should rest at Hulao Pass for a few days before entering and occupying Luoyang."

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, and immediately sneered and said, "Hehe, at first, I thought you wanted to annex Liu Dai's troops during the rest of your recuperation!"

Ok?
After Yuan Shu's reminder, the rest of the people also suddenly realized this problem.Yes, Liu Dai has been killed by Qiao Mao, what should he do with the more than 1 soldiers and horses he left behind?
Thinking of this question, all the princes were tempted.The Han Dynasty is in decline, and the signs of troubled times have appeared. The more soldiers and horses in hand, the better!
As if Yuan Shu had broken his mind, Yuan Shao's face turned red, and then he said angrily: "Absurd! Although Liu Gongshan died, his son Liu Zhao is still in the army. The troops left behind by Liu Dai must be succeeded by Liu Zhao." Leader. Gonglu, don’t judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.”

"I'm a villain, you Yuan Benchu ​​is really a gentleman?" Yuan Shu smiled playfully, "Yes, Liu Zhao will naturally follow Liu Dai's army, but wouldn't Yuan Benchu ​​include Liu Zhao under his command? Liu Zhao is a weak champion Son, if you have no opinion, why don't you let Yuan Benchu ​​rub it?"

Yuan Shao was provoked by Yuan Shu again and again, and his beard trembled with anger. He immediately said loudly, "How could Shao think the same way as you, Yuan Gonglu? Liu Dai's soldiers and horses are decided by Liu Zhao. Will he stay or go back to Yanzhou? Let him have his own way."

After speaking, he looked down the hall and found that Liu Zhao was not in the hall, so he asked again: "Why didn't Liu Zhao come?"

Yuan Yi said: "Liu Zhao didn't enter Hulao last night, presumably he was busy with Liu Dai's funeral."

Yuan Shao nodded, suddenly looked sad, and said sadly: "Liu Gongshan died, so we can't rush to occupy Luoyang. If we are colleagues, we must finish the funeral for him first, and then talk about other things!"

He also deliberately changed the subject.

The princes in the hall nodded one after another, only Sun Jian and Cao Cao looked at each other, and both of them looked anxious.

Cao Cao stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "At the beginning, I thought that the most important thing for our army at the moment was to immediately send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo. Since our army came to defeat Dong, if we only captured Luoyang, we allowed Dong Zhuo to go west to Chang'an and continue to control the government. , wouldn’t it be giving up halfway?”

Sun Jian also immediately said: "Brother Meng De's words are very true. Liu Dai passed away, and I was deeply saddened. However, Liu Dai came here with me to fight against Dong. If the battle against Dong can't be completed, how can it be done?" Aren’t Liu Dai’s last wishes? A certain person thinks that Liu Dai’s funeral may as well be put aside first, and after Dong Zhuo is killed, Dong Zhuo’s head will be sacrificed to Liu Dai, and a beautiful funeral will be held for him.”

After hearing Cao Cao and Sun Jian's words, Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then hesitantly said, "However, Han Fu hasn't distributed food for a long time, and now our army is running out of food and grass, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pursue Dong Zhuo!"

"If we don't have enough food and grass, we must pursue Dong Zhuo immediately." Cao Cao said eagerly, "It is the right way to support war with war. If Han Fu doesn't distribute food and grass all the time, are we going to drink wind and earth in Hulao Pass?"

"Meng De, don't worry, I didn't say that our army has been staying at Hulaoguan!" Yuan Shao said awkwardly, "Even if you are not in a hurry to arrange a funeral for Liu Dai, you should wait. Maybe within a few days, Han Fu's grain and grass have arrived."

Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was so unwilling to make progress, his lips moved a few times, and finally he brushed his robe sleeves, and said angrily: "Zhuzi is not enough!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall.As he walked, he said, "I will go west to chase Dong Zhuo. If you have the heart, you will come to help me. If you don't, you will die of old age in this Hulao pass!"

Cao Cao left in a fit of anger, and Yuan Shao was so ashamed and annoyed that he didn't know what to say for a while.The rest of the princes also stared at Cao Cao's back in a daze.

Only Sun Jian turned around to chase Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De, I am going with you!"

After leaving the lobby, Cao Cao sighed at Sun Jian, and said, "Oh, Brother Wentai, I can tell that Yuan Shao and the others have no intention of chasing and killing Dong Zhuo. Just wait and see, at the latest, they are entering Luo After Yang, they will all disperse."

Sun Jian nodded and said with a wry smile: "Many princes raised troops to challenge Dong and Dong, but how many of them are sincerely contributing to the country? Yuan Shao and others are just trying to gain fame and capital. Now, the emperor has moved west, and the Guandong has no leader. If you can't kill Dong Zhuo and welcome back the emperor, from now on, the Kanto region will fall into chaos where the feudal lords attack each other."

Cao Cao took a step forward, suddenly grabbed Sun Jian's hand, and said, "So, I and Wentai have a great responsibility! Going west this time, we must catch up with Dong Zhuo, kill this beast, and welcome back the emperor!"

Sun Jian nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Meng De, I'll gather troops and horses and go after Dong Zhuo!"

"Okay! After half a day, X and Wentai will leave the camp!"

"A word is settled!"

………………

Sun Jian and Cao Cao went back to their camps to gather their troops, so they put this matter aside for the time being.

Looking back, let’s talk about Qiaomao.

That night Qiao Mao killed Liu Dai. Knowing that he had caused a great disaster and would be difficult to tolerate among the princes in the future, he hurriedly led his troops and left.

He didn't take care of the luggage, and the soldiers only brought some dry food besides their armor.After two days of walking on the road, the hungry and tired Qiaomao army arrived in Xingyang City.

Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Miao, who were staying in Xingyang, heard that Qiao Mao had returned, and went out of the city to greet him in surprise.

Qiao Mao lied and said that he was eager to go back to quell the chaos after receiving the news that Dongjun was attacked by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

When Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Miao heard Qiao Mao's excuse, they all had doubts: We are in Xingyang, and we haven't heard that Dongjun was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army. How did you know that?

But doubts turned into doubts, Qiao Mao was a colleague after all, Bao Xin and others still welcomed Qiao Mao into Xingyang City, and hosted a banquet to entertain him.

During the banquet, one of Bao Xin's advisers suddenly entered the banquet place and called Bao Xin out.

It turned out that the envoy sent by Yuan Shao arrived in Xingyang City.The counselor learned the truth about Qiao Mao's return to the east, so he couldn't sit still, and immediately informed Bao Xin of the matter.

When Bao Xin heard that Qiao Mao had killed Liu Dai, he was furious and questioned Qiao Mao when he returned to the banquet.

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, Qiao Mao couldn't argue any more, and admitted it in a bachelor's way.

According to the instructions in Yuan Shao's letter, Bao Xin advised Qiao Mao to return to Hulao Pass.But Qiao Mao didn't listen to the persuasion, and asked Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, and Wang Kuang to provide him with food and grass.

Bao Xin also had a bad temper. In a rage, he drew his sword and stabbed Qiao Mao to death.

Afterwards, Bao Xin, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Miao discussed together and led troops to quickly control Qiao Mao's army, and sent someone to report the matter to Yuan Shao.

Two days later, Yuan Shao wrote back, informing Bao Xin and others that Hulao Pass had been conquered, and ordered Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao to stay at Xingyang and guard Qiaomao's army, while Bao Xin led his troops to Hulao Pass.
