Chapter 23 A Dishes of Sand
As Ye Zhao finished speaking, a brief silence appeared in the tent, and the expressions of the princes were a little complicated.
In fact, if it weren't for Gongsun Zan's affairs, the princes would not have any dissatisfaction with the grain and grass of Yuan Shu. After all, as one of the main forces of this alliance, Yuan Shu alone brought 50,000 troops and more grain and grass. Moreover, as Yuan Shu's identity, no one would object to this important position.
But now...
Although Yuan Shu killed his aide and took the blame, it was not a fool here. Yuan Shu's eager killing was probably as Ye Zhao said, and there was no evidence of his death, which also proved Yuan Shu's guilt.
No one likes teammates who stabbed their swords in the back. Even in theory, everyone is closer to the Yuan family than Ye Zhao, but at this moment, as Ye Zhao spoke, everyone remained silent. Even those with extremely bad relationships with Ye Zhao did not speak up for Yuan Shu anymore.
With this alone, Ye Zhao has actually won.
"Ye Hou is afraid that he doesn't want to serve as the governor's position as food and grass by himself?" Yuan Shu said with anger and smiled.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and said calmly: "At least, this marquis will not use such a clumsy excuse to harm the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line! This marquis is not going to fight for anything, but in order to continue the alliance, he can only take the initiative at this time."
Ye Zhao came to Governor General to distribute food and grass?
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little disgusted. After all, Ye Zhao was not happy with everyone before.
Gongsun Zan stepped forward weakly: "I also think that it is most appropriate for Ye Hou to take on this position!"
Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to blame Yuan Shu for it. After all, the governor's food and grass are also of great importance. He only needs to supervise the transportation of food and grass in the rear and do not need to go into battle. If he wins after the war, he will have a contribution. Although he is not in line with Yuan Shu, he is all a child of the Yuan family after all, and there is no reason to give such important positions to outsiders.
"What do you think?" Yuan Shao looked at everyone. Now that Ye Zhao spoke in person, he couldn't resist Ye Zhao's face. The alliance was about to continue, and Ye Zhao's flag was also very important.
"Cao thinks that Ye Hou is indeed suitable!" Cao Cao looked at the expressions of everyone and sighed. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but at this moment, the matter of Gongsun Zan and Ye Zhao's verbal run has risen to the level of whether the alliance can continue to exist. Naturally, he does not want the alliance to be destroyed. Moreover, with Cao Cao's understanding of Ye Zhao, no matter what purpose Ye Zhao has, he obviously does not want the alliance to lose at this time, at least he does not want the alliance to lose so quickly. Before achieving Ye Zhao's goal, Ye Zhao will definitely not tamper with food and grass like Yuan Shu.
"Bi also agrees with the governor of Yehou." Liu Bei glanced at Guan Yu, sighed silently, and bowed to Yuan Shao.
In this way, three princes supported this matter, while other princes chose to remain silent, which in a sense was equivalent to acquiesce to this matter.
Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Shu helplessly. If this kid hadn't ignored the overall situation, how could this day have happened? This was a taboo thing. Even the Yuan family would not dare to openly do such a truth.
"Since that's the case, I'll ask Mr. Ye to be responsible for the governor's food and grass." Yuan Shao nodded. He had already reached this point and had no other choice.
"Wait!" Yuan Shu suddenly shouted.
"What else?" Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu impatiently. It was this time, so it was not embarrassing.
"Since Ye Hou doesn't believe me, Yuan doesn't believe in Ye Hou. Yuan's food and grass will be taken to the detention of Yuan himself, so there is no need for Ye Hou to worry." Yuan Shu looked at Ye Zhao and sneered.
"No problem, anyone else, who is not at ease with me? You can go and take away your own food and grass." Ye Zhao looked at Yuan Shu and suddenly smiled: "Because the food and grass are still on the hand of the road, remember to take a clear look so as not to say that my horse is greedy for Moer and other food."
Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "This is natural."
The next thing was interesting. The princes, including Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, all went to collect their own food and grass. After they were brought back, they handed it over to Ye Zhao. However, a group of princes had a dispute over the issue of collecting food and grass. After all, everyone brought food and grass before, and after so many days, people would naturally suffer losses. Although Yuan Shu was not greedy, it was equivalent to redistribution of food and grass.
This quarrel lasted for a day, and judging from the situation, it was vaguely escalated into an armed fight. Liu Dai and Qiao Mao had even reached the point of mobilizing troops.
But it took time to redistribute the food and grass of more than a dozen princes and more than 200,000 troops. A group of princes who ran to Hulao Pass under the banner of attacking Dong thieves started to make noise here because of the distribution of food and grass. What do people in the world think about this?
Seeing that a group of people were arguing, Yuan Shao could not help but gather the people again and shouted angrily: "Since you have chosen Ye Hou as the person who supervises the transportation of food and grass, all the food and grass should be uniformly dispatched by Ye Hou. Others are not allowed to argue about it anymore. If there is a disobedience, it will be so great!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword from his waist and cut off the table in front of him with a sword. He really had the urge to scatter his hands. From the day he became the leader, he seemed to have never encountered anything smooth.
When the princes saw Yuan Shao’s real fire, they immediately stopped. It was Yuan Shu. He knew that he was in the wrong, so he couldn’t bother him anymore, but he didn’t like Ye Zhao even more.
"It's too late today. I'll set off to send troops tomorrow to attack Hulao Pass!" Yuan Shao saw that everyone stopped arguing, groaned and stood up.
When a group of princes heard this, they dispersed.
"Xu Ming's words made the road separate from the princes, and almost wiped out Benchu's majesty." Cao Cao caught up with Ye Zhao who had left, and smiled bitterly and said to Ye Zhao: "Cao wants to ask again, what exactly does Xiu Ming mean?"
Anyway, if you beat Cao Cao to death, you would never believe that Ye Zhao would do so many unnecessary things for no reason. Although it caused the prestige of the Yuan Shao brothers to plummet, it would not be of any benefit to Ye Zhao. Although he is in charge of the coalition military rations now, this thing is just a caretaker and it is impossible for Ye Zhao to become Ye Zhao.
"I'm free to have nothing to do." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "But Meng De can stay awake, but I admire him very much."
Cao Cao was speechless. Seeing that Ye Zhao refused to say anything, he didn't ask any more questions, and turned to him: "Will Xiuming have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"
"If I were Yuan Shao, I should divide my troops to attack Xuanyuan Pass, Yique Pass, and Hulao Pass are the most powerful passes in the world. We have only the troops, but we cannot spread the 200,000 troops. It would be better to divide more routes to attack Yique, Xuanyuan and even the Arc destiny, Luoyang Eight Passes. As long as one or two of them can be broken, the rest of the passes will be useless." Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao and said, "Meng De should not be unclear about this principle. Yuan Benchu must have known it, but why did King Chen alone fight hard at Yique Pass? But we are spending time here?"
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but fall into silence. He naturally didn't know what Yuan Shao thought, but he was afraid that he would be like Ye Zhao was unwilling to defeat the enemy with all his strength. Yuan Benchu was probably also having his own plans in his heart.
More than a dozen princes, who now know, already have four or five kinds of thoughts. Although Cao Cao thought that this battle would not go too smoothly before the rebellion, and it would be difficult for the princes to join forces, even Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance, had a different mind, which really made Cao Cao very disappointed with this.
"After thinking it through, don't ask me such naive words again. It's better to think about what you need." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Among these princes, you should be the most dishonest one, but now you are the only one loyal minister left, but it's ridiculous."
Cao Cao sighed silently when he heard this, no longer discussing this topic with Ye Zhao, and instead said, "Won't Xiuming have the idea of harvesting food and grass like the Yuan Highway?"
"Why not?" Ye Zhao asked back.
