On this side, Yuan Shu raised his hand and left Yuan Shao's camp, and then military advisor Jushou came in.
He had just heard the conversation between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and he strongly disagreed with Yuan Shao's decision.
Yuan Ke is the eldest son of Yuan Shao.
Nowadays, the power is rising. Not only does it hold hundreds of thousands of troops, but it also holds the emperor in power to command the princes. Its power is unstoppable.
He didn't understand why Yuan Shao didn't join forces with him to create a great cause.
Instead, he dragged his brothers to deal with Yuan Ke.
This is extremely stupid.
"My lord!"
He came in and said with cupped hands.
"Jushou, you are here. You must have heard the conversation between Yuan Shu and me just now, right?"
"My lord, Jushu asks you to take back your order and join forces with Master Yuan Shu to rebel."
"After World War I, as Mr. Yuan Wei said, we planned to plot Jizhou. As long as we own Jizhou, we will have our own territory. By then, you will have a base camp to continue to grow. Jizhou is the richest state in the Han Dynasty. We Only if you take it as your own can you accomplish much."
Jushou bowed and tried his best to persuade.
"Jushou, I just told Yuan Shu that my unfilial son Yuan Ke has rebelled against me and has no intention of serving the country. How can we, the Yuan family in Runan, allow him to continue to cause trouble to the imperial court?"
When Yuan Shao heard this, his expression immediately darkened.
At this time, he looked quite unhappy, and even vaguely angry.
Deep down in his heart, he also understood that following Yuan Wei's words and rebelling would bring him great benefits, but just because he hated Yuan Ke, he was unwilling to help Yuan Ke and defeat the Allies.
"My lord, what you are doing is very wrong."
"Now, the Han Dynasty is exhausted."
"The princes from all walks of life raised armies not because of the real King Qin, but for their own wishful thinking. Firstly, they did not want to see Yuan Ke increase his power and threaten them. Secondly, they also hoped to use King Qin's influence. In the name of gaining the prestige and capital of the separatist party."
"Jushou dares to ask, do you really want to help the Han Dynasty in your heart?"
"If not, please invite Master Yuan Shu to come over. Our two armies will join forces to defeat the Allied forces. When the Allied forces are in chaos, we will cover up and kill Han Fu and take control of Jizhou. This is a big plan."
Jushou died to remonstrate with Yuan Shao.
"Jushou, you are bold. My loyalty to the country, Yuan Shao, cannot be questioned. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being heartless."
Yuan Shao is a person who has always had a very good reputation.
He also has a very high ego.
Jushou's words just now were clearly questioning his character, which made him very angry.
"Lord, calm down. What Ju Shou just said was a bit bold, but I really consider it for you. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Although our Bohai County has a population of over one million, it is only a small area. If we want to become a hegemon, we must first capture Jizhou."
"My lord, please think twice."
Jushou continued to give advice.
"Okay, let me think about this matter carefully before making a decision."
Yuan Shao waved his hand in displeasure, ending Ju Shou's remarks.
"yes!"
Jushou left the tent feeling quite disappointed.
Before, he joined Yuan Shao's tent because he took a fancy to the influence of the Yuan family in Runan in the court and Yuan Shao's domineering attitude in challenging Dong Daang several times. Now, he gradually discovered that Yuan Shao was a headstrong man who wanted to achieve great things. People are not wise masters.
He also had the intention of leaving.
........
"Report!"
"My lord, someone in disguise just entered the camp of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. It seems they are from Chang'an."
At this time, in Cao Cao's camp, the messenger who had just arrived from Chang'an went to see Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's every move when he entered Yuan Shao's camp did not escape Cao Cao's eyes and ears.
"My lord, Yuan Ke is the legitimate son of Yuan Shao. Do you think he will betray him midway?"
Captain Le Jin said in front of the tent.
He is from Yangping Weiguo.
"Yes, Lord, you must be on guard."
Li Dian also made further remarks.
"...."
Cao Cao did not express his position, but the irritability between his eyebrows also showed that he was also worried about this matter at this time.
Now, the Allied forces have been unable to attack Hulao Pass for a long time, and the morale of the Allied forces is getting weaker and weaker. Especially after Yuan Ke defeated Han Sui, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang in Bingzhou, and collected tens of thousands of troops, many princes They all wanted to quit.
There is a risk of premature death when you seek revenge on thieves.
"Lord, we should also find another way out."
"Because of the current situation, Yuan Ke is even more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo. His power is at its peak. If we want to defeat the thieves, we may not have much chance of winning. Even if we break Hulao Pass, Yuan Ke will come with troops, and How to resist?"
"For the current plan, the Lord must find a territory and develop his power in order to fight against Yuan Ke in the future."
Cao Hong said.
He is Cao Cao's younger brother.
"Yes, brother, we must plan a way out."
"Once Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu collude with Yuan Ke and attack us from a flank, we will be defeated."
Cao Ren also began to persuade Cao Cao.
"Come here, bring the people in."
At this time, it was discovered that several sergeants had broken into the tent. The leader was a heroic young general. These sergeants also detained a sergeant whose face was covered with injuries.
"General Cao, I am Zhao Yun, a subordinate of General Gongsun. I was inspecting the camp just now and found this guy sneaking around, so I arrested him. My master asked us to bring him to the general and let him deal with it. "
"Thank you for your hard work, General Zhao."
Cao Cao stood up and treated him with courtesy.
"General Cao, we leave our people to you. Take your leave."
After throwing the person away, Zhao Yun took the person away.
Afterwards, Cao Ren began to interrogate the sergeant of unknown origin.
"Tell me, who asked you to come? What is your mission?"
After many tortures, it was discovered that this person was the messenger sent by Yuan Wei. After the interrogation revealed the purpose of this person's coming, Cao Cao's expression immediately changed.
"Brother, did you hear everything just now? Yuan Ke is so insidious."
"He is dividing us in secret. It seems that not only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but also various other princes have received the letters sent by Yuan Ke."
"If what this person says is true, then we are all in danger."
Cao Ren said.
"Yes, everyone has sent messengers, but we don't have one. Is this clearly plotting against us? We have to be on guard."
"The heart is separated from the belly."
Cao Hong also advised Cao Cao.
"You just said that Yuan Ke promised Yuan Shu to occupy my Yanzhou, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and Beihai Prefect Kong integrated into Qingzhou. If so, how will Han Fu and Liu Dai be settled? Also, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, My current territory is dependent on him, if Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao make trouble, how can he be willing to do so?"
"Cao Ren, go and invite the three generals Zhang Miao, Han Fu and Liu Dai, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them."
"Go quickly."
"Remember, you must keep a low profile so that no one can notice."
"Understand?"
Cao Cao ordered.
Afterwards, three people were invited.
When they learned about Yuan Ke's treacherous plan from the messenger just now, they immediately became angry.
"hateful!"
"Yuan Ke, the traitor, dares to grant my territory to Yuan Shao. The Yuan family and I are at odds with each other."
"Mengde, I, Han Fu, will never let Yuan Shao go."
"Tonight, I will lead my troops to kill him."
Han Fu was furious when he heard this.
He did not listen to Cao Cao's advice and left.
After that, Liu Dai also left with anger.
He also became enemies with Yuan Shu.
It’s better to believe that such things exist than to believe that they don’t exist. In today’s troubled times, if you lose your territory, you will become an object to be slaughtered by others. They are all princes who dominate one area, so how can they be willing to lose everything?
"Mengde, now, the Yuan brothers are ambitious and covet me, Chen Liu. You can't just stand by and watch. I, Zhang Miao, am willing to give up my position as the prefect of Chen Liu to you. I only hope that you can help me take revenge."
Zhang Miao understood that he was no match for the Yuan brothers, so he was willing to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful. He only asked Cao Cao to defeat the Yuan brothers in the future and help him take revenge.
"good!"
Cao Cao understood that the rebel allies had finally dispersed.
At this time, he also wanted to find a way out for himself. For example, he wanted to take Chen Liu into his hands.
This night is destined to be restless.
Liu Dai led his troops to attack the Nanyang Army's camp at night, and a battle broke out between the two sides. However, Liu Dai was weak. Later, he was defeated by Yuan Shu, and Liu Dai led his troops to leave and return to Yanzhou.
As for Han Fu, he also led troops to attack Yuan Shao, causing heavy damage to Yuan Shao's army. Fortunately, at a critical moment, Yan Liang led troops to rescue him and killed Han Fu's generals Yang Xing and Zhao Zheng. Han Fu was defeated and led his troops to flee.
After that, Yuan Shao made up his mind and pursued Han Fu.
Yuan Shu also led his army back to Nanyang.
Overnight, the so-called "Rebel Alliance" existed in name only.
Only Sun Jian, the vanguard, did not know the situation of the Allied forces and still fought against Chen Qingzhi outside Hulao Pass.
