Hua Xiong followed Li Ru's instructions and did not chase after Gongsun Zan when he saw that he had escaped. He just burned Gongsun Zan's camp and withdrew back to Hulao Pass.

"After this defeat, the morale of the princes' coalition forces will inevitably be set. You just need to guard the city carefully. When the battle in Yique Pass is over, you will make a decision." Seeing that Gongsun Zan retreated, Li Ru estimated that the coalition forces would not attack the city for the time being, so he immediately said goodbye to Niu Fu and Hua Xiong. The current reign is on King Chen Liu Chong. As long as Liu Chong is defeated, the coalition forces will lose all righteousness. At that time, the court can also clean up a group of people who secretly communicate with the princes.

"Wenyou has not rested for the past two days. Now that the thief army is defeated, it is better to rest for a day and leave. There is Wen Hou, Li Jue, Zhang Ji and the others here at Yique Pass. Could it be that he will be defeated by King Chen?" Niu Fu looked at Li Ru's thin body and frowned.

"It's an extraordinary time." Li Ru smiled and shook his head, "The sooner the war in Yiqueguan is over, the more favorable it will be for the Lord Yu."

"Wenyou is careful all the way." Seeing that Li Ru insisted on leaving, Niu Fu was not good to stay anymore. He sent a personal guard to Li Ru to escort him away, and then returned to Guancheng with Hua Xiong to check the information.

Gongsun Zan's camp has been burned. To be cautious, Niu Fu specially sent many scouts to investigate Dong Xiang, the coalition forces.

At noon the next day, Yuan Shao personally commanded the army to Hulao Pass and set up a camp outside Hulao Pass. After a series of setbacks, the actual force was only more than 250,000, and the troops were still above the Western Liang Army. However, the morale was once again low.

"How could Bo Gui be defeated so easily!" Gongsun Zan fled last night and was in a panic, but he was staggering the coalition forces. Therefore, when Yuan Shao arrived, he did not meet Gongsun Zan. All he saw was the camp that was covered with messy ground and had been burned into scorched earth. He couldn't help but be furious.

After finally winning a battle, he was defeated by the Western Liang army general Gongsun Zan in a blink of an eye, which made the little morale that had just been motivated to disappear.

All the princes in the tent were silent. Cao Cao frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and frowned: "Bo Gui had been through a long battle formation, and Hu Zhen had also attacked him at night. Not only did he fail, he was killed by Bo Gui. Why was he so easily stolen from the camp?"

"Returning to the military advisor, our army has not sent food and grass for three days. The general was ready to withdraw his troops today and join the army. He asked the leader how not to send food. Who knew that he was attacked last night. The soldiers only killed a few horses to fill their stomachs in the past few days, so how could they have the strength to fight?" The spokesperson was a military marquis under Gongsun Zan. He was separated from Gongsun Zan when he broke through the siege last night. He only brought a few soldiers and horses. He was arrested by the coalition scout and brought to Yuan Shao for a questioning.

"What!?" Yuan Shao's expression changed when he heard this, and he glared at Yuan Shu and said, "Highway, I asked you to send food to General Gongsun as soon as possible, why is this happening?"

"How did I know that I had ordered the transfer of grain to Gongsun Bogui that day." Yuan Shu frowned, a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's tone of questioning him. Why should a concubine of the Yuan family talk to him, the legitimate son of the Yuan family like this?

"You..." Yuan Shao was even more angry when he saw Yuan Shu's attitude. He was about to scold him when he saw a small school running into the tent and bowing, "Leader, General Gongsun is back!"

"Please hurry up! Let's wait and welcome Bo Gui in." Yuan Shao felt ashamed and quickly stood up to greet him.

"No need, the last general has arrived! How dare the defeated generals work hard for the leader of the alliance!" Seeing Gongsun Zan and Guan Yu, the second general of Tian Yu directly pushed away the guards who wanted to block them and strode in.

The three of them looked a little embarrassed. Gongsun Zan's face was covered with dried blood scabs, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his or the enemy's. On the robe, the shawl was so broken that the armor on his body was also damaged. Guan Yu and the other generals Tian Yu were not much better.

"It's good if Bo Gui is fine, it's good if he's fine." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Don't think too much, rest for a few days, and it's not too late to find the general guard of Hulao to take revenge next day."

"Tomorrow?" Gongsun Zan sneered: "The general led the soldiers of the three armies to fight bloody battles in front of him. If the enemy is strong and the general is defeated, the general will also recognize him. I, Yan Dierlang, can afford to lose. But I dare to ask the leader of the alliance that he has not distributed food and grass for three days, which has forced the soldiers to kill horses to fill their stomachs, and they cannot eat and eat. When they are unable to fight, they are defeated by Hua Xiong. How should this account be calculated?"

For a cavalry, war horses are the second life, and they are forced to kill horses to satisfy their hunger. When many generals present heard this, they couldn't help feeling sad, and their eyes at Yuan Shao changed a little.

"Bo Gui is not angry, Shao is also asking about this matter. Bo Gui might as well be calm. We will definitely give Bo Gui an explanation." Yuan Shao took a deep breath and looked at Yuan Shu and said, "Highway, please explain this matter to Bo Gui yourself."

"I have allocated food and grass three days ago. Why hasn't it arrived... When I ask the person who allocated food and grass," Yuan Shu pretended to call the staff and said, "I ordered you to allocate food and grass three days ago, why hasn't it arrived?"

"The lord forgives the crime. It is because Zhongmu is away from Huzhu. Even if he travels day and night, it will be difficult to transport food and grass within three days." The staff member hurriedly complained.

"Take a land?" Ye Zhao said with a little sarcastic sarcastic: "Now the river is not turbulent. It can be transported by water, so you can deliver the food and grass in half a day. Moreover, Bo Gui has the intention to build a camp on the back of the water. The road is forbidden by land. Bo Gui will be defeated in this battle."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu suddenly drew his sword and assassinated the staff to the ground. He scolded in the incredible eyes of the staff: "It's all you waste, you almost killed Bo Gui's life."

"Well, there is no evidence to die!" Ye Zhao sneered.

"Ye Xiuming, what do you mean?" Yuan Shu glared at Ye Zhao and pointed his sword at Ye Zhao and said angrily.

"Oh~" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "Highway dares to point the sword at this marquis, and his courage is commendable."

Yuan Shu twitched his mouth and subconsciously took a step back.

"Hahaha~" Gongsun Zan suddenly smiled at the sky and looked at Yuan Shu and said, "The general finally understands why Ye Hou refused to hand over the food and grass. It seems that Ye Hou knows Yuan Gonglu the most!"

"Gongsun Bogui, what do you mean?" Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to turn the sword to Gongsun Zan and said angrily.

"What do you mean? Do you really don't understand?" Gongsun Zan looked at Yuan Shu, with a dangerous gaze flashing in his eyes. Suddenly he picked up the wolf-toothed spear in his hand, smashed it in Yuan Shu's head, and shouted angrily: "Today I will avenge the unjustly killed soldier!"

"This matter is a disadvantage for the servants to do things, so what does it have to do with me?" Yuan Shu didn't expect Gongsun Zan to take action, and quickly raised his sword to fight back.

"Clang~"

With a muffled sound, Yuan Shu's arms were trembling by Gongsun Zan's spear, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. If you want to say that Yuan Shu was also a person who had been on the battlefield, he also had some strength and martial arts in his hands, but why was Gongsun Zan an opponent who had been a long-standing fierce general? With just one blow, he was so shocked by Gongsun Zan that he almost fell to the ground.

"Gululu~" There was a muffled sound in Gongsun Zan's abrupt and untimely sound. He had not eaten for three days, and he ran all night last night. At this moment, Gongsun Zan suddenly exerted force, and felt dizzy and his body shook.

Guan Yu and Tian Yu hurried forward and supported Gongsun Zan.

"Kill him for me!" Yuan Shu's mouth broke. Seeing Gongsun Zan's weakness, he became angry and shouted loudly.

Two generals behind him were out at the same time, and many Yuan Shu's personal guards rushed in outside the tent. Guan Yu and Tian Yu hurriedly protected Gongsun Zan.

"Get out!" Ye Zhao's face darkened, and he stood up. His knife-like eyes swept across the faces of the soldiers, which made people feel a stinging feeling of eyes, and he said coldly: "Is this a place where you are so arrogant!"

A group of personal guards did not leave. They were Yuan Shu's personal guards, not Ye Zhao's soldiers. Not to mention Ye Zhao, even if Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, gave the order, without Yuan Shu nodding, they would not implement it.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Don't obey the orders, kill!" Ye Zhao's eyes turned cold, he took out the short crossbow, raised his hand to a close-up guard, and shot it directly through the other party's forehead.

"Kill~" When the door darkened, Dian Wei's figure appeared in the big tent. Before the personal guards could react, two iron halberds slashed left and right, and four or five personal guards were directly killed.

"Ye Zhao, you dare!" Yuan Shu was furious when he saw this.

"Why don't I dare?" Ye Zhao asked back.

"Mr. Ye, let him stop!" Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Dian Wei. As long as both sides spoke, most of the twenty or thirty guards who rushed in had been killed by Dian Wei. The princes in the tent were gasping for air. Although they knew that Ye Zhao's personal guard was powerful, they did not expect that they would be so cruel. Yuan Shu's personal guard was also elite, but in front of this person, they were killed like chopping melons and vegetables. The other guards also ran away in a panic, and they did not have the momentum they had before.

"No need to chase after you. Apart from the official scouts and sergeants, don't let the rest enter the tent." Ye Zhao waved his hand and signaled Dian Wei to stop chasing.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed, stepped out of the big tent and stood outside the tent.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for taking action!" Gongsun Zan bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "I have offended you before. Mr. Ye, without any grudges, I will be grateful!"

Before, the princes rejected Ye Zhao. Although Gongsun Zan had no conflict with Ye Zhao, it was not easy to stand on Ye Zhao's side. Unexpectedly, today's incomprehensible end, none of his former friends came out to speak justice for him, which really made Gongsun Zan feel disappointed.

"It's okay." Ye Zhao waved.

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Mr. Ye, let's go!"

"It's not me, but you!" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shao and said calmly.

"What does Ye Hou mean?" Yuan Shao's heart sank. Ye Zhao was silent for so long, was he finally going to move?

"I was a nepotist, and that was your business. I was not convenient for me to ask about it, but we gathered here to support the Han Dynasty. Everyone recommended you as the leader of the alliance because everyone believed in you. However, you did not want to repay you, but instead regarded this coalition army as your private army in Yuan's family. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"I have never had this idea!" Yuan Shao quickly explained when he saw the princes' expressions change.
