Three Kingdoms: Allied Forces Humiliated Me, Turned To Dong Zhuo And Married Dong Bai

"General, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao's troops have moved, and they seem to be planning to retreat!"

Next to Hua Xiong, several guards came to report to him.

hear here.

Hua Xiong cheered up instantly.

He licked his dry lips slightly, and said with a sneer:

"Hehe, it looks like Gao Shun and the camp have succeeded."

"In that case, pass the order down."

"The whole army is ready, follow this general to charge and kill the enemy!"

Following Gu Yi's order, Qixiong brought a full 50,000 defenders from Sishui Pass.

After Hua Xiong finished speaking.

Suddenly.

The 50,000 defenders erupted into heaven-shaking shouts!

Not far away, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, who were retreating, could not help but break out in a cold sweat.

I only hope that the 8,000 troops behind the palace can delay Hua Xiong for as long as possible.

Yu Jin and Wang Men looked at each other.

Afterwards, the two immediately led the rear army to launch a surprise attack on Hua Xiong's 50,000 troops!

However.

No matter how stupid the eight thousand troops were, they knew at this moment that they had been reduced to abandoned sons.

How could it be possible to erupt enough fighting power?

Thus, in front of Hua Xiong's 50,000 troops, the 8,000 rear troops were like persimmons pinched from mud.

In less than a quarter of an hour, it had been washed away to pieces.

Although Yu Jin and Wang Men tried their best to stabilize the military discipline, it didn't help.

In the end, even the two of them threw away their weapons and waited for the time of death.

suddenly.

Hua Xiong's thick voice came over.

He raised the weapon in his hand and roared sharply:

"Give up resistance, those who surrender will not be killed!"

Hearing this, most of the eight thousand rear troops dispersed in an instant.

If you can live, you can die naturally.

Yu Jin and Wang Men did not intend to stop the rear army from surrendering at all.

Soon, including the two of them.

Of the 8,000 rear troops, nearly three-quarters were captured.

After capturing the rear troops, the guards beside Xiong asked him:

"General, do we still need to continue the pursuit?"

"The poor don't chase after them."

25 "Everything that comes next has been arranged in Linzhi."

Hua Xiong smiled.

If it were in the past, with his character, he would definitely lead the army to pursue immediately regardless of his own safety.

But after having Gu Yi, Hua Xiong got used to obeying Gu Yi's arrangement in everything.

Anyway, just charge forward.

Gu Yi will arrange everything in advance.

Until now.

Not a single enemy has yet been able to take advantage of Gu Yi.

In Hua Xiong's view.

Since Gu Yi saved him from going after Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, there is a certain truth in this.

the other side

Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan led the main force and tried their best to rush back to the grain and grass storage area.

But when the two of them returned to the grain and grass storage area.

The battle is long over.

All the food and grass were burned by the fire.

Corpses were lying on the ground, blood was floating in rivers, and tragic images emerged.

Only a few wounded soldiers who were lucky enough not to die were leaning against the edge of the tent to rest at the moment.

But judging from the injuries on their bodies, I am afraid that their lives will not be long.

In the grain and grass camp, Shan Jing, Tian Kai, and Cao Chun who were stationed here all disappeared.

According to the report of the wounded soldiers who were lucky enough to survive, all three generals were captured by the trapped camp.

The hot-tempered Gongsun Zan immediately threatened to fall into the camp alive.

But...he can only be incompetent and furious at this moment.

Trapped camp at Gu Yi's request.

I have already used the Qinling Mountains to train the excellent ability to climb mountains and mountains!

They passed through the endless hills, sneaked around and attacked Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's food and grass camp.

Don't look at the fact that it's easy to climb over mountains and mountains.

But if it is replaced by other infantry.

But it is absolutely impossible to cross the mountains near Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass so easily.

"Miaocai, Zixiao, suffered casualties."

Cao Cao suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice to Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren beside him.

The second general quickly took orders and left.

But in fact, except for a few wounded soldiers who narrowly escaped by relying on the edge of the tent.

In the entire grain and grass camp, there was no living person to be found.

Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai followed behind Cao Cao.

They were very worried that Cao Cao would be hit hard by this incident.

Cao Chun may not be famous in Romance.

But in fact, he was the first commander of Caoying Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and also Cao Ren's younger brother.

But between Cao Cao, they are cousins.

He is one of Cao Cao's most trusted generals.

Although, Caoying Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has not yet formally formed.

But Cao Chun has a good talent in commanding cavalry.

After Cao Cao was preparing to go back, he formed an elite cavalry led by Cao Chun.

Unexpectedly, he died before leaving the teacher.

The shadow of the elite cavalry has not been seen yet.

Cao Chun was taken away by the camp first, and his life and death are unknown.

After a little thought.

Xi Zhicai still decided to persuade Cao Cao at the risk of offending Cao Cao:

"My lord, please focus on the overall situation."

"Our army has lost all food and grass."

"And near Sishuiguan and Hulaoguan, there is no farmland for us to harvest."

"Fang Yuan is hundreds of miles away, full of red land."

"Whether our army withdraws or continues to fight, we must first solve the problem of food and grass.

"Otherwise...the three armies are in danger!"

Cao Cao naturally understood what Xi Zhicai said.

When the Kwantung princes formed a coalition army, they brought their own food and grass.

nowadays.

The grain and grass of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan were all burned by Dangshun and the camp.

The army under their command has almost no rations left.

Even worse.

All soldiers are aware of the fact that food and grass are burned.

Even if Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan wanted to hide the news for a while, they couldn't hide it now.

He sighed deeply.

At this moment, Cao Cao seemed to be more than five years old.

He turned around and said to Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai:

"Zhong De, Cai."

"Follow me to Hulao Pass later, and borrow some food and grass from Yuan Shao as an emergency.

Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai nodded repeatedly.

Given the fairly good diplomatic relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, there shouldn't be too much difficulty in borrowing some food and grass.

However.

Like Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, who had burned all his food and grass, had no good solution at this moment.

Think and know with your toes.

Yuan Shao certainly could not have lent food to Gongsun Zan for no reason.

If it weren't for the presence of the big boss Dong Zhuo.

It is estimated that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan should be fighting at this moment, fighting to the death for the territory of the four states in Hebei.

Just their bad diplomatic relationship.

As long as Yuan Shao's head is not broken.

It is impossible to finance this potential enemy.

And Gongsun Zan was the one who could borrow food and grass.

Nothing is better than Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Liu Bei.

However, Beihai occupied by Kong Rong is only a county in itself.

The food and grass he carried was barely enough for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.

If you lend it to Gongsun Zan again, the soldiers and horses in the headquarters will starve.

As for Tao Qian.

Regardless of the fact that he owns Xuzhou, which is relatively affluent.

But not long ago, he had just experienced a battle with Cao Cao.

The two counties in the north of Xuzhou suffered from the destruction of farmland by Cao Jun, and not even a grain of grain was confiscated in the autumn harvest.

Guangling County in the south of Xuzhou also had no crops due to waterlogging.

Other than that.

In order to sign an armistice agreement with Cao Cao, Tao Qian also paid Cao Cao a large amount of military expenses and food.

This caused Tao Qian, who was relatively wealthy before, to become a pauper directly.

This time, the food and grass brought by participating in the coalition forces is only enough for the own army to eat.

It is absolutely impossible to distribute it to others.

Liu Bei is a person who can really lend Gongsun Zan food and grass.

But the crux of the problem is.

Liu Bei doesn't have much food left!

The wealth of Huainan belongs to the rich.

But Liu Bei was full of plans, and it took less than three months to occupy Huainan.

He did not catch up with the autumn harvest and spring harvest.

Most of the large tracts of land in Huainan and the harvested food and grass belonged to the local families and powerful people in Huainan.

In contrast, Liu Bei is a real poor man.

This time going north to participate in the alliance, the food and grass they brought were not too much.

It is estimated that their own army will hardly have enough to eat.

If it is distributed to Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's army will also be in a dilemma of running out of food.

therefore.

The choice left to Gongsun Zan seems to be to withdraw his troops and return to Youzhou.

However, it was a long way to withdraw the troops and return to Youzhou, and food and grass were also needed along the way.

otherwise.

The army mutinied directly on the way.

It is also very likely to happen.

Think here.

Gongsun Zan hurriedly came to discuss matters with Cao Cao.

And told Cao Cao about his difficulties.

I hope Cao Cao can help him think of a solution.

However.

Even as wise as Cao Cao, there is no way to help Gongsun Zan solve the current predicament.

no way.

The princes of the Kanto region are a group of fellows who have nothing to gain and can't afford to be early!

Even if they are temporary allies.

However, such important strategic materials as food and grass cannot be given away easily by anyone.

Looking at the back of Gongsun Zan leaving lonely.

A flash of vigilance flashed in Cao Cao's heart.

The child from last time...seemed to be squeezed out by the coalition forces, and finally became Dong Zhuojun's undercover agent.

Gongsun Zan, will he also follow in Sun Jian's footsteps?

Think here.

Cao Cao quickly called Gongsun Zan to stop again.

He tried his best to persuade Gongsun Zan, hoping that Gongsun Zan would go to Hulao Pass with him first to meet Yuan Shao and others.

After deliberation, decide on the next step.

Outside Hulao Pass

Yuan Shao led the remaining five princes to line up here.

Relying on the superiority of troops, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to order the soldiers of the coalition army to launch a fierce attack on Hulao Pass.

to...

After fighting for a whole day, under Zhang Liao's absolute defense, the coalition forces made no progress at all.

In the coalition camp

Yuan Shao and other princes of the Five Routes are discussing tomorrow's war arrangements here.

suddenly.

Cao Cao's personal guards were brought in by Yan Liang from the outside.

Afterwards, the guards informed Yuan Shao about the burning of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's food.

After listening to the report.

Yuan Shao was so startled that he almost jumped up from his seat on the spot.

Seeing Yuan Shao's strange expression, several princes asked him what happened.

Yuan Shao told the truth about the situation.

Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Liu Bei, and Kong Rong all lowered their heads slightly after listening.

There was no intention of making fun of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan at all.

Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan are the real strength of the coalition forces.

Power leader.

nowadays.

Their food and grass were all burned.

This is a great loss for the entire coalition.

Once Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan withdrew from the coalition forces, it might not be right for the coalition forces to directly lose 30% of their combat effectiveness.

"Everyone, tell me what you think."

Yuan Shao asked the five Kwantung princes.

However.

Although the five Kwantung princes felt bitter about the burning of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's grain and grass.

But if they really asked them to talk about their views on this matter, they all seemed to be dumb.

To put it mildly, it is called letting them talk about their opinions.

To put it bluntly, I want the five of them to give some food and grass to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan.

But, as the saying goes.

The landlord's family has no surplus food!

What's more, among the five princes, Kong Rong and Zhang Yang are mascots who make up the numbers.

Tao Qian and Liu Bei also became paupers due to external reasons.

Yuan Shu is rich and well-off.

But... Yuan Shu. Why should he lend food to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan?

He is not doing charity.

With our brother Mishui's character, he is not willing to do such a thankless thing as borrowing food and grass.

Seeing that everyone was silent.

How could Yuan Shao not know what these people were thinking.

He had no choice but to speak as the leader:

"Everyone, Meng De and Bo Gui are important members of our coalition.

"Right now, Dong Zhuojun burned all their food and grass.

"If we can't get timely support, I'm afraid the strength of our coalition forces will be greatly reduced. y

"I also ask you to lend a helping hand."

"The lord of this alliance, on behalf of Meng De and Bo Gui, thank you all."

Yuan Shao said with a smile on his face.

However.

Which of the princes of the Five Routes present here has no eyesight?

Don't look at what Yuan Shao said so high-sounding.

But actually.

Including himself, they were extremely resistant to lending grain and grass to Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao.

Food and grass, but the more you eat, the less you eat!

Loaning it to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan means that his own soldiers are very likely to starve because of it.

A dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor Taoist.

At this moment, this truth is vividly displayed in the princes from all walks of life!
