At this time, Hu Zhen had truly accepted his fate, and he did not dare to say a word to Lu Bu.
Hu Zhen's only hope now is that he only hopes that Sun Jian can come here later.
Because only in this way can he gather more defeated troops.
This way, at least until Sun Jian comes, he will not have to worry about his head being picked off by someone inexplicably under Sun Jian's military power.
Yep!
What Hu Zhen is most worried about now is no longer Sun Jian and Gongsun Zhu. What he is most worried about...is the Lu Bu next to him who smiles at him all day long!
I don't know if Hu Zhen's wish came true. Sun Jian, who was supposed to appear at Guangcheng Pass quickly, did not show up for four consecutive days. This made Hu Zhen really overjoyed.
He almost worshiped Heaven and Earth in Guangyang City, thanking God for his care, which allowed him to take advantage of this opportunity to gather enough defeated troops.
At the same time, after gathering a lot of defeated troops, he immediately protected himself on three levels inside and three outside, and then people went to ask what was going on.
The news they got made Hu Zhen and Lu Bu look strange.
When Sun Jian's reputation was rising and his morale was booming, he chose to stagnate!
But the reason why he did this was not because of an ambush or reinforcements from their Xiliang Army.
The reason for this extremely strange occurrence was that Sun Jian's army did not have enough food and grass.
After a great victory, there is no food and grass. There is nothing more disgusting than this in the world.
Moreover, both Hu Zhen and Lu Bu thought this was false news, because who didn't know that behind Sun Jian was Yuan Shu!
Yuan Shu was the legitimate son of the Yuan family, the fourth and third prince of Han Dynasty, and the Yuan family also gave the richest county in the world.
With this kind of support, everyone in the world may be short of food and grass, but Sun Jian cannot be short of food and grass.
Yuan Shu's background is something that makes countless people drool with envy.
"Sun Jian has no food and grass...Is Yuan Shu crazy?"
"Who knows, maybe Yuan Shu is really crazy..."
After Lu Bu and Hu Zhen got the news, they couldn't help but let out bursts of emotion. At the same time, they looked at each other and then immediately turned their heads away.
He even snorted coldly.
Although I don't quite understand what's going on, but...
Hu Zhen still took advantage of this opportunity to do many things!
At this time, Hu Zhen didn't care whether Lu Bu felt disappointed or not, and quickly contacted the Han's previous capital, where Dong Zhuo was stationed.
He knew it would be embarrassing to tell Dong Zhuo the news here.
But... it is always better to lose face than to lose your life. Please ask your own national division to send reinforcements to continue to help him defend Guangcheng Pass.
This is the best situation!
At this time, Sun Jian also looked at the quartermaster in front of him with a gloomy face, and finally kicked the desk in front of him angrily.
Speaking of which, this was also Sun Jian's negligence.
The person who was originally responsible for contacting Yuan Shu was his long history Gongqiu!
However, the long history of the public enemy died in the rebel army in the previous battle against Xu Rong. For this reason, he had to temporarily change someone to replace the long history.
But Sun Jian had forgotten that behind him was Yuan Shu, one of the most playboys in the world!
How can that be comparable to ordinary people?
So... although he has many soldiers and horses under his command at this time, and the morale of his command is also at a high level, the connection with the rear is cut off.
The person who replaced Gongqiu Changshi was completely unable to coax the rear general, which caused Yuan Shu to become somewhat suspicious of Sun Jian.
Then he cut off his own food and grass.
But now, Sun Jian is not very clear about these things. He only knows that for some reason, his rear has cut off contact with him, which makes him a little crazy.
Although he didn't know what happened to make Yuan Shu feel so dissatisfied with him, he couldn't lose Yuan Shu's strong support now.
"De Mou, you are temporarily taking over the position of general and stationed in Yangren. A certain family will return to Nanyang."
Sun Jian handed over the army to his deputy Cheng Pu, and then he rushed towards Nanyang. At this time, Yuan Shu was conquering Nanyang, and it could even be said that he was plundering Nanyang.
As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, there is no doubt about Yuan Shu's strength, but as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, his appearance is really too ugly.
The once rich and prosperous Nanyang County was now in dire straits due to his harm.
However, Yuan Shu still had no intention of restraining himself at this time. Sun Jian found Yuan Shu personally and expressed his love and reason, hoping that Yuan Shu could give up his prejudice and continue to support him.
And he himself is willing to become the chief general under Yuan Shu and fight for him from generation to generation.
Yuan Shu was moved by Sun Jian and felt deeply that he had done something stupid before, so he once again allocated enough grain and fodder and sent it to Sun Jian so that he could continue to attack Dong Zhuo.
He must take off Dong Zhuo's head, and let the concubine see who is the master of the Yuan family.
Since that bastard's coalition could no longer continue, he would let the world see what Yuan Gongli was capable of.
After receiving sufficient food and supplies, Sun Jian once again transformed into the mighty Jiangdong Tiger. He returned directly to the camp, distributed meat and wine to his soldiers, loudly encouraged morale, and vowed to regain Luoyang, capture Chang'an, and destroy Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhu did not participate, and they also had no military supplies at this time.
Since joining forces with Sun Jian, they have relied on Sun Jian for their food and grass supplies.
And Sun Jian also expressed his tacit approval of Gongsun Zhu's attitude and thoughts because of your previous help.
But now that Sun Jian has run out of food, they are naturally in danger.
But Gongsun Zhudao wasn't too worried about this kind of thing.
Not because of anything else, but because Gongsun Zhu believed that with Sun Jian's ability and abilities, he would not be abandoned by Yuan Shu.
And Yuan Shu... Although Gongsun Zhu has never been in contact with him, he has heard Cao Mengde talk about that guy's character in his heart.
To put it nicely, it's a chivalrous spirit, but to put it badly... it's the kind of thing that comes up as it comes, without thinking at all!
So for Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhu has a headache but is not worried.
Although it is difficult to deal with such a willful playboy, it is not impossible to solve it.
As long as Sun Jian understands the principle of bowing his head, then this matter will be much simpler.
Therefore, after Gongsun Zhu determined that although the food and grass were cut off, he would not mutiny due to lack of food and grass for a while, Gongsun Zhu simply took the opportunity to leave the army.
Then look for some opportunities elsewhere.
At this time, they were in Yangren County in Yuzhou. Yuzhou was a land in the Central Plains, and it was originally a place with outstanding people.
And back then, he was very fond of those people in Yingchuan.
At this time, he finally got the opportunity. He insisted on going to Yingchuan again to see if he had any chance.
Of course... apart from the opportunity, he also wants to go to Yingchuan to visit the virtuous people!
It's just that... in the process of visiting worthy people, he also needs to go to many places...
For example, right now, Gongsun Zhu is looking at a skinny woman in front of him in an unknown town, and this woman is strongly recommending her products, hoping to get Guan Yu and Gongsun Zhu to buy them.
If that were the case, the two of them would not waste time in this unknown town.
The product that the woman recommended was her own children, and the reason for her recommendation was very simple. She wanted to live, and she also wanted her children to live.
Her husband has already said that if no one buys them today, they will exchange children with another family in the evening.
Change the daughter first, then the son. As for what to do after changing the child, none of us are the kind of fools who would help others raise their children.
Gongsun Zhu had heard his father talk about this kind of thing a long time ago, and he had known about it for a long time, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of thing with his own eyes.
A skinny woman who seemed to be about to faint in the next moment kowtowed her head in front of her one after another, begging her with blood on her face to let her children work as slaves for her.
Even though this woman didn't know her identity or what the consequences would be if she took her children away, this woman... she still chose to do this.
Not for anything else, just because leaving with them is at least a hope.
"Don't be impulsive." Just when Gongsun Zhu was about to agree, Guan Yu grabbed Gongsun Zhu's arm and said, "Look at the situation around you before you speak."
After being reminded by Guan Yu, Gongsun Zhucai saw that the refugees around him had gathered around him at some point.
These people are a group of ordinary people. The war has left their fields deserted and displaced them. At this time, no official will open the door of the treasury for them and distribute food to them.
Yuzhou can be called the center of the Central Plains. There are many aristocratic families here and the people here are prosperous. However, the people here do not include these displaced refugees.
In this world, what are the people?
"If you relent just once, no one else, including me, will be able to get out today, and neither will this woman."
Guan Yu did not come with any troops. He just came here to see if he could borrow some grain and grain land. He found that not only the treasury had been emptied by Yuan Shu, but there was still a group of displaced refugees.
Gongsun Zhu looked at this group of people and remembered his own sentence "It's just that" and felt that he couldn't say it now.
"General Guan, do you think there is any reason why I should go to the so-called Capital City now?"
