Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 114
The loss of 14 soldiers was still within the bearable range for the coalition forces.Even if the more than [-] soldiers who were killed and injured were added in, the coalition still had [-] troops left, and it still had the strength to fight.

However, a big problem was in front of the coalition forces, the lack of food and grass.Most of the food and grass for the Allied forces before was prepared by Wang Kuang.Because of Yuan Shao's reasons, Wang Kuang searched almost all the noble families under his rule, and only then did he collect 50 shi of grain and grass.Among them, 20 shi of food and grass had been transferred to the princes, and the rest was swept away by Ye Mo.

"Leader Dong, you should just say something, be careful! Next, what should we do?" In the big tent of the allied army, Dong Zhuo sat on the main seat and stroked his forehead with his hands.Listening to the other princes' pressing questions, he seemed to have a headache.It's just that it's nothing, the thing that bothers him the most is: there's not enough food and grass.

"Father-in-law, do you want to let them out first?" Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo who had a headache, leaned over in front of Dong Zhuo, and asked.

Hearing what Li Ru said, Dong Zhuo paused while rubbing his forehead. "Forget it, what's the matter, let's talk about it now." Dong Zhuo didn't think of finding an excuse to send these princes out first, but what's the use of it?The problem of food and grass cannot be delayed any longer. It will be too late to solve this problem until the whole army has no food to eat.

"Let's talk about it, what's your idea?" After a moment's delay, Dong Zhuoqiang stood up, sat on the seat, looked at the princes under the seat, and said.

"Leader, while we still have food, attack Hulao Pass by force. As long as Hulao Pass is captured, all problems will be solved." Liu Bei said before Dong Zhuo was joking.

Yuan Shu in the seat couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Bei's words.

Looking at the situation, Dong Zhuo knew that Yuan Shu must have disagreed with Liu Bei's opinion, so he laughed out loud.However, for Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei's opinion won his heart.The Chen Liuhui League was initiated by Dong Zhuo. If the alliance was disbanded, wouldn't it be that he himself admitted that he had an objection in his heart and wanted to take the Liu family and replace it?
Dong Zhuo deliberately didn't want to pay attention to Yuan Shu, so he turned his head to look at Yuan Shao and asked, "At the beginning, you are the deputy leader of the alliance, in charge of the food and grass of the whole army. At this time, how many days of food and grass are left in our army? "

Yuan Shao didn't expect Dong Zhuo to ask him something, but he reacted quickly.Seeing Yuan Shao not thinking, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said: "Shao counted yesterday, and the remaining food and grass of our army is only more than [-] shi, which is only enough for the whole army for seven days."

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Liu Dai stood up and said, "This is only seven days' food, even if you add your own food and grass, it is only ten days' food and grass. Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world. Our 20 troops were unable to take advantage of the weak defenses in Guanzhong. Now that the ratio of forces between the two sides has changed greatly, how can we fight again?"

"Liu Gongshan's words are different. You must know that there is a saying in the art of war: throw yourself into the dead and then survive, and sink into the dead and then live. Previously, the defenders in Hulao Pass were surrounded on both sides and had nowhere to escape. They had to fight to the death. Now, if our army If you can’t capture the tiger prison, you will have to starve to death. The momentum of both sides has changed, so we can naturally capture the tiger prison.” At this time, it was Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, who stood up and refuted what Liu Dai said before.

Liu Dai turned his head to look at Qiao Mao, and said that he had no grievances with him in the past or recent days, but he didn't know what kind of muscle Qiao Mao made a mistake today, so he raised the bar with him. "I wonder who it is, so it's Qiao Yuanwei, the prefect Qiao. Since the prefect Qiao has food, how about borrowing some from me?"

Qiao Mao didn't know that Liu Dai wanted to quarrel with him now, but thought that Liu Dai wanted to steal some food from him, so he refused without thinking.Furthermore, his food and grass were either brought by himself, or because his subordinates fought forward bravely and saved too many casualties.

Seeing that Qiao Mao rejected his request to borrow food, Liu Dai secretly harbored resentment in his heart, and went to Qiao Mao's residence after the discussion was over.

Sun Jian didn't want to come to the alliance at first, but came because of Yuan Shu's pressure.Now, Yuan Shu also had the thought of leaving, why wouldn't Sun Jian stand up and help Yuan Shu? "Leader, the outcome of this battle has been decided, why not disband the alliance now and go back separately?"

Dong Zhuo saw that it was Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River who spoke, and he secretly thought something was wrong.I thought that only Yuan Shu would propose to disband the alliance here, and the others would at most propose to bring his subordinates back.Although the behavior is the same, the meaning is very different.

"Unexpectedly, Sun Wentai, the majestic tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, is also afraid that the tiger will shut down the name of Lv Bu." Han Sui wanted to hug Dong Zhuo's thigh wholeheartedly. Although Dong Zhuo's strength is not as good as before, his strength is not as strong as in the Xiliang area. No one can compare.What's more, there was a gap between Han Sui and Ma Teng before, if Ma Teng attacked him, how could he, Han Sui, be able to stand it?
Sun Jianjian took a look and found that the person who spoke was not the princes who made the alliance at the beginning, and he was immediately displeased.Han Dang next to Ma Teng was in trouble at this time: "So it's Han Wenyue, my lord, what's the matter with you, a vicious dog?"

"Who are you calling a vicious dog?" Han Sui was furious when he heard that Han Dang called himself a vicious dog.

Han Dang looked at Han Sui who was furious, but he was not afraid. Looking at Han Sui, he sneered and said, "It's not a vicious dog, why is it biting people? Your master hasn't spoken yet, what are you!"

Han Sui was very angry, looked at Han Dang, and wanted to take out his weapons and rush up to fight him to the death.But how could Ma Teng's people see Han Sui using force in this tent, so someone rushed up and stopped Han Sui.When Han Sui saw that he couldn't get close to Han Dang, he pointed at Han Dang and shouted, "Leave your name if you have the courage, and I will teach you how to be a man in the future."

How could Han Dang be afraid of Han Sui, so he slammed the big knife in his hand on the ground and said, "Remember, Grandpa Han Dang and Han Gongyi are waiting for you to come and die."

Seeing this situation, Dong Zhuo said, "We are all allies now, why bother to harm the peace? If there is any problem, let's sit down and talk." In his words, he did not blame Han Sui for his rude words.

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Han Sui was secretly happy and knew that he had made the right bet.Han Sui was naturally a master when it came to intrigues, but when it came to martial arts, how could he be Han Dang's opponent?Everything before was just a pretentious gesture.

"Okay, okay. After discussing for so long, it's better to come up with an idea earlier." Dong Zhuo pressed his hands in the void, making everyone present quiet down, and then said.

Liu Bei was the first to stand up at this time, and said righteously: "Fight! It must be fought! Why did you come to the alliance? It was for the Qing emperor's disobedience, to return the big man to a bright future, and to return the people of the big man to peace. Prosperity. Now, the goal of the alliance has not been achieved, how can the alliance be dissolved?"

If it was the beginning of the alliance, Liu Bei's words would definitely resonate.It's just that in the current situation, saying these words is just a joke. "I said Liu Xuande, you keep saying you want to fight, what are you fighting for?" At this time, Yuan Shu naturally stopped being polite, and directly exposed Liu Bei's scar with one sentence.

Liu Bei froze, thinking that the last 2000 people that Zhang Fei brought out were all wiped out, and suddenly he was in a trance, sat down on his buttocks, but couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo quickly said, "Liu Xuande is a clan member of the Han family. Even though he has no soldiers in his hands, he still wholeheartedly serves the country of the Han family. His heart can be learned from that."

After listening to Dong Zhuo's words, Liu Bei and Guan Yu raised their heads and cast grateful glances at Dong Zhuo.Especially Liu Bei, as if seeing a confidant, he wished to lie in the same bed with Dong Zhuo and talk all night long.Of course, Liu Bei was willing, but Dong Zhuo would not ask Liu Bei to sleep with him.

"There's nothing to say. Those who want to fight can stay. Those who don't want to fight can just go back. No matter what you do, I should go back." Seeing Dong Zhuo's actions, Yuan Shu knew what Dong Zhuo meant. After leaving such a sentence, he went out directly.

Once Yuan Shu left, Sun Jian would naturally not stay.Liu Dai had long intended to go, seeing that Yuan Shu had left, how could he stay?Han Fu's family has a big business, so naturally he wouldn't stay here to gamble with Dong Zhuo. Although Han Fu's subordinates persuaded Han Fu to stay, although Han Fu didn't have any opinions, he knew that staying here would be fruitless.

As soon as these four people left, there were only seven princes left in the coalition army, which also included Liu Bei and Guan Yu's bare princes.

"Those here are those who are willing to stay and advance with this general. Dong Zhuo is very grateful." Looking at the few people in this big tent, compared with the abundance of talents when he first joined the alliance, what a difference at that time don't.But Dong Zhuo had no choice but to pull himself together and toasted the other six princes.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's behavior, the six princes also cursed the four who left.Ma Teng wanted to leave, but because his hometown was Xiliang, he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's revenge in the future, so he stayed in the tent.But when others were scolding the departing princes, he was extremely hopeful that he had also left.

The people in the tent were drinking wine and talking bluntly that they wanted to capture the tiger prison and then march to Luoyang. There was a scene of harmony in the tent, at least it seemed that way.

Just after everyone drank for three rounds, a young general covered in blood rushed in from outside the tent.

"My lord... my lord, something is wrong. Then... that Liu Dai broke through our army's camp and took... all the food and grass away." After finishing speaking, the young general passed out.

As for Qiao Mao, when he heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he stood there in a daze, his eyes glazed over.The other people in the tent were similarly sober when they heard the news. They looked at each other, but couldn't speak.

(Thanks to Monk Zhuyu, who praised Twelve's article, Twelve will definitely work harder.)
