On the second day, the coalition of princes finally passed by according to Cao Cao's method. The next step was Yuan Shu who was responsible for transporting the food, grass and supplies.

The news of Sun Jian's death was not returned, but he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up when he sent someone to rescue him. Yuan Shao sat in the central army tent and discussed the next plan with Cao Cao, Liu Dai and others, but saw Zhang Miao walking in with an ugly expression.

"Meng Zhuo's face is not very good, what happened?" Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were friends, and said strangely.

"Leader, that Ye Hou's general is too presumptuous!" Zhang Miao nodded to Cao Cao as saying hello, turned to look at Yuan Shao and said.

"What happened again?" Yuan Shao suddenly felt a headache. According to previous practice, there would be absolutely no good if anything happened once it was related to Ye Zhao.

"The highway was ordered to governor the grain and grass. Logically speaking, Yehou's grain and grass should be allocated together, but Yehou's generals stopped him and insisted on rhyming himself." Zhang Miao suppressed his anger and said to Yuan Shao: "Since we are in an alliance, that is, we are a family. Why should everyone's grain and grass be allocated uniformly? Yehou's actions are suspected of being alienated from the coalition forces!"

"Meng Zhuoyan has passed." Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Yehou and the highway have had some grudges and entanglements in the past, and I am afraid that because of this, the highway is unwilling to let the highway escort his own food and grass."

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and stopped Zhang Miao, who was about to say something else. He looked at Cao Cao, then swept across the people in the tent, and finally turned his eyes to Liu Bei and smiled: "Xuande, I see you are kind to Ye Hou, why not let Xuande invite Ye Hou?"

"Why, I really think my brother is running errands!" Zhang Fei glared at him and said with anger.

His voice was very loud, and his anger became even louder. The entire camp felt trembling with Zhang Fei's roar, which scared the princes in the tent.

"Yide, you are rude!" Liu Bei quickly blamed Zhang Fei, turned around and bowed to everyone and smiled: "Don't blame everyone, the third brother is straightforward and does not have malicious intentions, so he will go."

Although the princes in this tent are all prefects and the provincial governor level, there is not much difference in their official positions, Liu Bei is definitely the lowest in terms of qualifications and background. At this moment, Yuan Shao asked him to call Ye Zhao. First, the princes in the tent are mostly against Ye Zhao, and second, there is also Liu Bei's low qualifications. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. But in Zhang Fei's opinion, this is something that can be done by a personal guard school, but it is too despised for him to go.

It was because Zhang Fei and Ye Zhao didn't have a deep contact. Yuan Shao really didn't mean to insult Liu Bei. Although he was not from a high school, Liu Bei now represents Liu Yu. Yuan Shao was idle and went to provoke Liu Bei.

It is really because Yuan Shao and Ye Zhao were ministers in the same palace for several years. They know Ye Zhao is a human being. If you talk about stubbornness, Ye Zhao really doesn't have it, but if Ye Zhao really takes stubbornness to others, you can argue with him about seniority and he can make you doubt your life. Now that the coalition forces have lost one after another, Yuan Shao is already in a hurry and is really not in the mood to argue with Ye Zhao again, so he directly asked the princes to come forward to invite him. Under normal circumstances, as long as he doesn't act stubbornness, Ye Zhao can still communicate. This is Yuan Shao's perception of Ye Zhao.

However, Zhang Fei's attitude still made many people in the account dissatisfied, but Liu Bei's sincere attitude, coupled with Liu Bei's performance in the army over the years, has also attracted a lot of favor, especially Kong Rong and Tao Qian, who have a good impression of Liu Bei, so they didn't say much about this matter.

Ye Zhao was not slow to come. He was idle in the army these days. In addition to deducing the battle between the two sides, he spent most of his time training troops in the military camps or commanding soldiers to cross the river. Seeing Liu Bei coming to invite him in person, he didn't say much and came over directly.

"Yehou, is there any misunderstandings about food and grass?" Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao and smiled and said, "Didn't we agree that the highway will be responsible for the allocation?"

"This matter was my instruction, what's wrong?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Mr. Ye, although you have a high position and power, you can talk about reason in everything!" Zhang Miao looked at Ye Zhao with anger and said, "Since Mr. Ye was in an alliance with us and others to fight against Dong Zhe, we should take the overall situation into consideration."

"Not giving away food and grass does not mean that this marquis ignores the overall situation, and what is the relationship between attacking Dong thieves and handing over food and grass?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "If Yuan Gaolu seized our army's food and grass when this marquis was fighting with the Xiliang army, what should I do?"

"Ye Hou doesn't believe me!" Zhang Miao said angrily.

"Yes." Ye Zhao nodded naturally: "Meng Zhuo might as well talk about how I should have Xiner, etc. Since I led my army into the alliance, have you really regarded this marquis as your own?"

Zhang Miao was stunned and there was no such thing, but he didn't expect Ye Zhao to admit it so simply.

"Ye Hou's words are serious!" Cao Cao saw the scene froze, and quickly stood up and smiled, "I don't think the road is so ignorant of such a big deal."

"It's not the first day that you and I recognize Yuan Gaolu. He can do such a thing." Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shao with a smile: "Otherwise, with his status as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, how could Benchu ​​be the leader?"

Yuan Shao browed, feeling that Ye Zhao was looking for trouble, and said calmly: "I don't know what Mr. Ye has plans."

"The unified supervision of military rations can also avoid unnecessary losses. Originally, I originally agreed with it, but it is inevitable that this important matter will be left to Yuan Gonglu, which is worrying." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "At least, I have an old grudge with Yuan Gonglu. This is related to the lifeline of 20,000 children under my throne. It cannot be handed over to Yuan Gonglu. If you insist on forcing me to hand over the food and grass, it will be a disagreement. I can only withdraw from the alliance and wait and see and fight alone."

Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face: "Then follow Ye Hou!"

No matter how the princes don’t like Ye Zhao, if Ye Zhao withdraws from the coalition at this time, even if Ye Zhao continues to attack Dong Zhuo, it will definitely be a huge blow to his leader, as for the reputation. As for siege and kill Ye Zhao, it cannot be, at least not now.

The coalition forces have not started fighting with Dong Zhuo, and they have not said that they have lost success. Now they have started to deal with their own people. No matter what the cause of the matter is, how can Ye Zhao not be welcomed? If he really does this, even if he succeeds, the alliance to challenge Dong will be completely disbanded. His leader will lose all his prestige. Therefore, facing Ye Zhao's threat of directly overturning the table, Yuan Shao really dared not gamble, so he can only compromise with Ye Zhao for the time being.

"Report~"

A small school entered the account and bowed and said, "Report to the leader of the alliance, General Gongsun is back."

"Please!" Yuan Shao looked happy. On the one hand, Sun Jian's affairs were concerned about everyone, and on the other hand, he also wanted to change the topic, and the atmosphere in the account had begun to be a little awkward.

Soon, Gongsun Zan brought a young general in, bowed to Yuan Shao and sat in his seat.

"Bogui, what's the war in Xingyang?" Before Yuan Shao could speak, Liu Dai on the side asked impatiently.

It’s not how Sun Jian’s personnel are. Before Sun Jian came here, Liu Dai and others threatened to expel Sun Jian. It’s because the battle in Xingyang was too important. Before the battle started, the three princes of Li Min, Xu Yu and Kong Qi had already lost one after another. The morale of the coalition forces was devastating. The princes urgently needed a victory to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

"It's gone." Gongsun Zan shook his head and sighed.

"What do you mean?" The princes sank in their hearts and all looked at Gongsun Zan.

"When I arrived, Lu Bu had already withdrawn. Wentai's troops were seriously damaged. Eight thousand soldiers were left, and the most important thing was..." Gongsun Zan looked up and looked at everyone and smiled bitterly: "Sun Wentai and his general Zu Mao were killed in battle. Huang Gai and Cheng Pu have also helped his coffin to return to Sun Jian's hometown."

"Hiss~" Everyone in the tent heard this. Although he was mentally prepared when Cao Cao retreated yesterday, Sun Jian was a good general after all. He had switched to the Central Plains and made great contributions in the battle of Xiliang. He may not be inferior to Lu Bu. Before getting the exact news, even though he knew that his hope was slim, he still had a glimmer of hope.

But no matter what, it was unexpected that Sun Jian was not only defeated, but also defeated so thoroughly that he even paid his life. Even the few people who were dissatisfied with Sun Jian because of Sun Jian's killing of Wang Rui and Zhang Zi were very uncomfortable at this moment when they heard the news of Sun Jian's death. It was not only because of Sun Jian's death, but because of the successive failures since the establishment of the coalition forces made everyone feel a little confused.

Can this Kanto coalition of princes really defeat Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty?

There was a low atmosphere in the entire tent. Yuan Shao calmed down first and looked at everyone and said, "Xingyang is related to the victory or defeat of our army. I wonder what tricks you have to break Xingyang?"

When the princes heard this, they all remained silent. Except for Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others, they were not considered famous generals. They usually sit and talk about the world's good at judging their skills. However, when it comes to this confrontation and planning, they are a bit reluctant. At least in this state, it is difficult to come up with any strategy to defeat the enemy.

After pondering for a moment, Cao Cao looked at everyone and said, "Xingyang and Hulao are horns. Like this time, we attacked Xingyang, and Lu Bu attacked from behind. Dong Zhuo's command was mainly cavalry. Lu Bu fought with the Hu people for a long time and was good at cavalry fighting. However, most of our coalition forces were infantry. The bandits came and went like the wind, but our army could only passively. In his opinion, it would be better to leave an army to guard Xingyang. The main force of our army was approaching Hulao. If we could break through Hulao Pass, Xingyang would not be a concern."

Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "I also heard from Huang Gai that the general Niu Fu, the governor of Xingyang, was quite cautious in using troops. If he was not sure, he would never send troops. If he was not sure, he would be difficult to destroy the city, but if he just watched him, he would only need one general and thousands of soldiers to trap him in Xingyang. Meng De's plan was finally feasible."

Cao Cao nodded to Gongsun Zan.

Yuan Shao looked at everyone and said, "I wonder who is willing to take on this important task?"

When the princes heard this, they looked at each other without saying a word. It was not that Niu Fu was so powerful, but that the guardian had little merit. The battle at Hulao Pass was the main point. Who would like to stay in Xingyang at this time?
