The next morning.
The showers have begun to subside.
Cao Ang came out of the tent, stretched and breathed in the fragrant fresh air after the rain, feeling much refreshed.
Just when he was about to wander around for a while.
But suddenly he saw his father, Cao Cao, shaking his head and walking back with an unhappy look on his face.
Judging from the direction he came from, it seemed to be the Chinese military camp.
Cao Ang couldn't help but be curious.
He quickly rushed forward and stopped in front of Cao Cao.
"Father, what happened?"
Cao Cao did not answer immediately, but first grabbed Cao Ang's arm and pulled him back to the camp.
Then he let out a long sigh.
"Sun Wentai is back!"
Cao Ang blinked.
Isn't Sun Jian on the front line? I heard that he was fighting fiercely with the defenders of Yanshi County. Basically, a good news came back every day, and the other side was beaten quite badly.
Why are you coming back at this time?
Just when he was about to ask, Cao Ang suddenly remembered something, and then asked in a strange way.
"What's the matter? General Sun is short of food?"
Cao Cao: "..."
Lao Cao couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at his son in surprise.
"Ang'er, how did you know?"
Seeing that Cao Cao has acknowledged it in his words.
Cao Ang's heart moved.
Sure enough, it was because of this incident that Sun Jian took time to come back from the front line where the soldiers were in full swing.
Tsk!
What a big skeleton king!
Faced with his father's inquiry.
Cao Ang spread his hands, and then said casually: "At this time, General Sun will only come back for matters related to the army, so the child guessed that there is probably a problem with the food and grass."
Even though there is a lot of depression in my heart at this moment.
Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked and admired by his son's agility and wisdom.
I just said one sentence...
…
After a while.
Cao Cao calmed down a little.
Then he continued: "It is indeed about food and fodder. According to Sun Wentai, he had sent an urgent food reminder to Yuan Gongdao a few days ago, saying that the food was in urgent need and asked him to transport the food quickly."
"However, until last night, no grain and grass had been delivered. At that time, the army officers and soldiers only had enough rations for one or two days. If the delay continues, people may starve to death."
Sun Jian led a vanguard force.
The main thing is to be fast and fierce.
Therefore, it is impossible to carry a large amount of food and grass.
It is necessary to rely on the rear to continuously transport food and grass, or to fight against the enemy along the way to support the war, so as to obtain continuous supplies.
But now, except for a few cities around Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo had already looted them all.
Even if they win a hundred games in a row, they still can't get any supplies, so the food and grass in the rear are the only resources.
Yuan Shu's move was indeed unethical.
After listening to his father's words quietly.
Cao Ang asked softly: "Did General Yuan tell me what was the reason why he had not transported food and grass over the past few days?"
I heard my son ask.
Cao Cao nodded first.
"His statement was that he was careless for a moment. After receiving the reminder, he put the document at the bottom of his desk and forgot about it while he was busy."
Having said this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered, as if he was quite disdainful of Yuan Shu's answer.
"His few words can only deceive a child. Food and grass are a major issue for military aircraft. How can there be anything more important in the coalition army than this?"
"I think he had other ideas and deliberately refused to give food to Sun Wentai. I don't know what he had in mind."
…
Originally, Cao Ang did not take this matter to heart.
Just treat this as a joke, something that can be used to mock Yuan Shu in the future.
But he looked at his father Cao Cao with such a sneer and disdain, and sometimes there was anger in his eyes.
Suddenly I felt that this matter was not useless.
He could definitely take advantage of it, analyze this matter, and show Yuan Shu's bad thoughts in front of his father.
This allowed him to once again see the selfishness of all forces within the coalition, further exacerbating his disappointment with the so-called heroes from all walks of life in the world.
In this way, you can quickly embark on your own preset path, which is the ambitious path to dominate the world.
After realizing this.
Cao Ang immediately sat down opposite Cao Cao, and then said unintentionally: "It's not difficult to guess his thoughts if he can do such a thing."
"It's nothing more than self-interest!"
He directly defined Yuan Shu's behavior.
And Cao Cao heard this.
His eyelids suddenly twitched.
Instinctively, I felt that I might not hear anything good from my son's mouth next.
But he still raised his head to look at Cao Ang and asked without thinking: "Why are you selfish?"
Cao Ang smiled at first.
Then he brought tea soup, poured some water on the table, and then started making gestures on the table.
"Among the heroes who came from all over the world to form an alliance, Yuan Jiujiu and Sun Wentai were on the same side, and Sun Wentai was controlled by General Yuan and obeyed his orders."
"If things had changed in the past, as his subordinate, General Yuan would have given priority to supplying Sun Wentai with food and grass, and there would have been an endless supply."
"But now that General Sun has won consecutive battles, his achievements have been accumulated layer by layer, and he will be rewarded for his great achievements after the war. This has become the reason for General Yuan to be jealous of him, so he found an excuse to stop his food and grass."
…
Cao Cao was a little dumbfounded.
His eyes were full of confusion.
His son's words made him faint.
It seemed quite logical, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong.
"Why are Lien Zhan and Lianjie so feared by others? Shouldn't this give Yuan Gongli more face? He should be even happier!"
After finding a piece of linen cloth and wiping off the water stains on the table, Cao Ang said something meaningful.
"But if the credit exceeds a certain level, then Sun Wentai may be out of General Yuan's control. How can he tolerate such a thing?"
Cao Cao was silent.
He is also a person who knows everything.
His son explained everything so clearly, how could Cao Cao not understand?
There was silence in the entire camp.
After a long time.
Cao Cao suddenly slapped the tea bowl on the table.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
"It's selfish, it's really selfish!"
"Now is the critical moment for the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Sun Wentai leads the vanguard and wins consecutive battles at the front. This is something of great benefit to the entire coalition to crusade against Dong Zhuo."
"Yuan Jiujiu, as a member of the coalition, secretly hindered his own people, just to reduce Sun Wentai's contribution and control him. Such behavior is really despicable!"
"Disgraceful!"
…
Cao Ang's goal was achieved.
The anger in Cao Cao's heart was indeed ignited by him.
Although what Cao Ang said has not been verified, it is just based on his own analysis.
But Cao Cao felt that the possibility was extremely high.
Otherwise, other explanations are a bit far-fetched.
Originally, Cao Cao was thinking that there might be some conflict between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, or that Yuan Shu wanted to suppress the consumption of food and grass.
Therefore, although he felt there was something wrong, he didn't say anything when he arrived at the army camp, and just asked Yuan Shu to quickly replenish the supplies.
But now I heard what Cao Ang said.
The reason is actually such a matter of selfish desire.
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little sick.
"My father really doesn't understand how he can succeed in defeating Dong Zhuo and reviving the Han Dynasty. Yuan Gongluo is trying to make a stumbling block when such a great undertaking is ahead of him."
Seeing Cao Cao look so angry.
Cao Ang felt that the heat was almost done.
It was time to give my father a strong dose of medicine.
After thinking about his words, he threw out some extremely lethal words.
"Everyone in the world has selfish motives. Even the heroes who came to join the alliance, how can they be exempt from this?"
"It is naturally very important to defeat Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty, but the interests of these state shepherds and governors are also very important to them."
"As for which is more important or less important, I'm afraid everyone has a different opinion."
"It's just that in my child's opinion, except for you, my father, there are really not many people who can put the pursuit of Dong Daye above their own selfishness."
…
The words just fell.
Cao Cao's eyelids suddenly jumped.
The facial muscles twitched slightly.
The whole person's breathing became a little faster.
It was obvious that his son's words had moved his mood, so he was extremely uneasy.
His original intention was just to be a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shu.
However, Cao Ang circled the entire coalition army in and pointed out that these people had selfish motives.
How can Cao Cao sit still?
He instinctively wanted to retort.
But when I thought about the previous attack on Chenggao Pass, when everyone faced Hua Xiong, they showed a negative attitude of being afraid of fighting, retreating from each other, and wanting to preserve their strength.
Cao Cao felt that he could not say anything.
Even if he uses strong words to argue and comforts himself, we are not like this.
But does that change the facts?
Sit there.
There was silence for a long time.
Cao Cao stood up a little tiredly, as if he had lost all his strength.
"Please be quiet for a moment as a father!"
After that, he turned around and left the camp.
I heard Cao Cao's retreating footsteps.
Cao Ang's eyes flickered, but he showed a complicated expression.
It was clear that his plan was working.
This is something to be happy about.
But it seemed a bit too cruel to show the bloody facts in front of his father so straightforwardly.
Just thinking about it soon.
Another thing will happen, which will make Cao Cao completely disappointed with all the heroes in the world, and Cao Ang will be relieved.
…………
Sun Jian came angry.
Moreover, Yuan Shu's food shortage has been known to Yuan Shao and others, so he can no longer carry out this operation and can only hold his nose and continue to transport food.
Considering that Sun Jian still needs to rely on Yuan Shu's power, he still wants to take shelter in his name.
Therefore, he did not fall out with Yuan Shu.
But after getting Yuan Shu's promise to replenish food and grass, he said a lot of good things, then said goodbye to everyone, and continued to lead his troops back to the front line.
After getting supplies of food and grass.
The next thing is simple.
Sun Jian continued to win consecutive battles. Lu Bu relied on Sun Jian to retreat temporarily, and the defense line he had seized was taken back in just a few strokes.
After three days of this.
Wait until the Chinese army arrives.
Lu Bu had already led his troops back into the city.
Harassment tactics cannot be realized. The next step is to pass through Yanshi County and fight the Kwantung Allied Forces from afar.
Buy time for Dong Zhuo who is in Luoyang.
…
In the city at this moment.
The city guard general Hu Zhen is arranging tasks for all parties. The next step is a tough battle that cannot be ignored.
But even if everything is arranged properly.
Hu Zhen was still unsure.
Make bricks without straw.
He has too few available troops, and Yanshi County is not a big city. Even if it is reinforced and raised in these days, it is not enough to rely on to resist an army of more than 100,000 people.
The enemy's troops are numerous and powerful, and they are approaching fiercely.
Chenggao Pass and Gong County have been defeated one after another, and every stop has been won with lightning speed.
Hu Zhen didn't know how many days he could last.
But fortunately, he has a trump card in his hand, and that is Lu Bu, who is known as the invincible in the world.
If used properly.
It must be able to play a big role.
The thought of this.
Hu Zhen immediately said to Lu Bu who was sitting aside: "General Lu, you will take the initiative to go out of the city to call for battle later. You must make the enemy army fight with you and kill several of their generals."
There is nothing wrong with this request.
However, the tone of this order made Lu Bu extremely unhappy. He thought that he was also a highly regarded general under Dong Zhuo.
Why do these guys from Liangzhou dare to get in trouble and treat him as their subordinates just because they have seniority?
So faced with Hu Zhen's arrangement.
But Lu Bu insisted on fighting.
Some people said in a strange way: "During the battle at Chenggao Pass, Hua Xiong took the initiative to take part in the battle, but he died tragically at the hands of the enemy and the city was completely destroyed."
"Now you still want to send me to fight in front of the battle. What's the point? Could it be that I have lived too long?"
Hu Zhen was so angry that Lu Bu was not angry to death.
Can Hua Xiong compete with Qi?
The generals of the coalition forces can kill Hua Xiong, can they also kill you?
Hu Zhen knew that Lu Bu was fighting against him and deliberately used words to yin and yang against him.
But he can't lose his temper either.
Now is the time to rely on Lu Bu.
Therefore, Hu Zhen could only smile with his face, and instead of using the commanding tone before, he spoke flatteringly.
"Everyone knows that General Lu is invincible in the world and has courage that no one can match. Not to mention one Hua Xiong, even ten Hua Xiong can't be your enemy together."
"Inviting the general to the battle this time is to demoralize the enemy troops and kill their fighting spirit. For the general, it is just a matter of easy capture!"
These words instantly made Lu Bu feel comfortable.
He glanced at Hu Zhen somewhat proudly.
Then Lu Bu stood up.
"Since General Hu has said so, then Lu should just reluctantly leave."
"You, please sit here peacefully and watch the enemy troops I kill so that I can repay the favor of the Prime Minister in the future!"
…
Allied Forces Camp.
Yuan Shao was making gestures on the topographic map of the Yanshi County city with his hand hanging behind his back, and was making arrangements to everyone and conveying how to attack the city.
Now this is a county town.
It can be besieged from all sides.
Therefore, there is nothing to say about the main attack. It just depends on who is unlucky and bears most of the enemy's pressure. There is nothing to say.
Just in the middle of the process.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent.
Then, after being informed by several soldiers, a messenger quickly ran in.
"To report to the leader of the alliance, and to all the generals, the gates of Yanshi County are wide open, and a man leads hundreds of horses out of the city, threatening to fight with the generals in front of our army."
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Both of them have some bad premonitions in their hearts.
"Do you know who the person who made the threat is?"
"The villain doesn't know. He only saw a Lu-character flag among the hundreds of cavalry following him."
Heroes: "..."
After a while.
The tent was filled with the sound of breathing one after another.
It seemed that everyone was shocked by the news.
After waving the soldiers down.
Yuan Shao's face became a little ugly, and he had no time to arrange an siege plan.
Instead, he came to the case.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Although I haven't seen him yet, I think the provocative person in front of the formation is probably Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo's most powerful general."
…
Everyone has the same idea.
This is what makes them look ugly.
When attacking Chenggao Pass, no one wanted to face Hua Xiong's troops head-on because they were worried that Hua Xiong had defeated Sun Jian.
At the same time, they didn't understand Hua Xiong's fighting ability, so when they heard that Hua Xiong was going to fight in a one-on-one battle, the crowd became excited and rushed to fight.
But now the situation is opposite.
Everyone knows that Lu Bu is powerful in military force.
If they were to challenge Lu Bu in a one-on-one battle, I'm afraid that if they sent out all the miscellaneous soldiers and generals under their command, one of them would die.
Purely giving away heads.
Therefore, instead of fighting one-on-one, it is better to encircle and attack the city head-on. In this way, the losses may be smaller.
After a while of noise in the camp.
Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, stood up, cupped his hands and fists at Yuan Shao, and then said seriously: "Fighting generals in front of the formation has long been out of date. How can this ancient method be used on the battlefield now?"
"Our army came with a huge force. The enemy's army is just an isolated city. They are trying to delay time. In my opinion, there is no need to do what they want."
"There is no need to fight Lu Bu in a duel, just tell him to go back to the city as soon as possible and wait for the city to be defeated!"
Wang Kuang's words were majestic.
Everyone who said that nodded.
This makes so much sense!
In what age are you still using traditional tactics?
…
Yuan Shao also nodded slightly.
It's just that he has some concerns after all.
Lu Bu had already made his move, and although he could use high-sounding words to refuse, in the eyes of others, he would definitely shrink back in fear.
This will inevitably affect morale.
If he could take over Lu Bu's formation and defeat him, even if it was a draw, it would be enough to increase his prestige, so Yuan Shao still wanted to give it a try.
After he pondered for a while.
His eyes immediately started to wander around the tent.
But every time he looked at someone, that person's eyes immediately crossed his, with an obvious intention to dodge.
Yuan Shao knew that this man did not have a strong general who could fight with Lu Bu, so he stopped considering it.
Until he saw Cao Ang sitting next to Cao Cao, he still looked calm and composed.
I couldn't help but think of Dian Wei, the fierce general under Cao Ang.
Suddenly his eyes lit up.
Then he asked with some excitement: "Zixiu, can General Dian go to fight Lu Bu?"
"I see that General Dian has the potential to defeat thousands of people. This is obvious to everyone present. Although Lu Bu is strong, he has only fought a few times. He may not be able to defeat General Dian."
"If General Dian can fight on behalf of our army, even if it is just a draw, it will definitely boost the prestige of our army, and I will also be heavily rewarded!"
Yuan Shao said this.
Immediately everyone agreed.
They had witnessed Dian Wei's heaven-shattering horror with their own eyes.
Even a strong general like Hua Xiong, with the strength of a tiger and a wolf, could not survive a single round in Dian Wei's hands.
Although Lu Bu is strong.
But it’s not impossible to fight.
At this moment, all the heroes present couldn't help but focus on Cao Ang. They all had hopeful eyes, hoping to hear exciting news from Cao Ang's mouth.
Even Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at his son.
Of course he hopes that the fierce generals under his son can bring glory to the coalition forces, which will also bring glory to himself.
…
However, under the bright eyes of everyone.
Cao Ang could only shake his head.
"If it's a foot battle, I'm naturally not afraid of Lu Bu. Instead of fighting for 300 rounds, it's still unclear who will win and who will lose."
"It's just that now that we are on the battlefield, Lu Bu must fight on horseback, and A Dian is too big, and the horses cannot bear his strength."
"Even if you ride my BMW horse, it will be difficult to show its due fighting power. If you fight Lu Bu in this state, I'm afraid he will be defeated."
Everyone heard this.
Suddenly I felt disappointed and discouraged.
Just when they were preparing to follow Wang Kuang's plan and reject Lu Bu righteously.
Cao Ang said again abruptly.
"But Adian can't do it. I can give it a try. I'm willing to go into battle and challenge Lu Bu!"
All of a sudden.
Everyone was shocked!
