Jingzhou, Nanyang County, Luyang City.
Yuan Shu still didn't know the news that Sun Jian had been defeated, so he focused more on jujube.
Yuan Shao has sent letters several times, asking Yuan Shu to move his troops to Suanzao as soon as possible to join him and march into Hulao Pass together.
Yuan Shu was puzzled at first, would Yuan Shao attack so selflessly? Later he learned that the man guarding Hulao Pass was Yuan Shao's mortal enemy Liu Zhang!
"Everyone, my concubine's son invites me to go to Suanzao and march into Hulao together. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
Even if we stand still now, the people of the world can't say anything. After all, Sun Jian has already reached Dagu Pass, and Yuan Shu has already set a pioneer and example for the heroes!
However, Yuan Shao's letter contained many pleas, and this was where Yuan Shu struggled. Yuan Shaoke has never treated Yuan Shu like this!
"My lord, shouldn't our focus now be on Grandmaster Sun? Grandmaster Sun has sent more than ten groups of people to collect food. He must be extremely nervous. Why don't we distribute food and grass?"
Yan Xiang stood up, even though he had said this countless times! From the first time Sun Jian sent people to collect food, he suggested supporting Sun Jian as soon as possible and sending troops for reinforcements when necessary. Unfortunately, Yuan Shu refused to listen, and kept detaining the person who urged the food supply!
"This... this... will be sent out right away!"
Yuan Shu hesitated and was speechless. He always used this excuse every time.
"My lord, food and grass are of great importance, how can we treat it as a trivial matter?"
Yan Xiang didn't believe it for a long time. He had mentioned it at least ten times, and Yuan Shu used this excuse ten times!
Yang Hong in the crowd saw Yuan Shu looking at him and immediately walked out.
"Yan Changshi, please don't embarrass the lord. It's me who doesn't let the lord give food to Sun Jian."
"Why?"
Yan Xiang looked shocked, obviously very incomprehensible.
"Dong Zhuo is a jackal, and Sun Jian is a tiger and leopard! Whether it is a jackal or a tiger and leopard, both are harmful to us! Rather than letting the tiger and leopard replace the jackal, it is better to let the jackal, tiger and leopard both lose!"
"Dong Zhuo is certainly hateful, but Sun Jian is not a good person either! Sun Jian is warlike, murderous, and invincible. If he were to invade Luoyang, wouldn't he be the second Dong Zhuo? Will he still listen to my lord?"
"In my humble opinion, it is better to let Sun Jian suffer some setbacks, sharpen his spirit, and let him do his best to surrender to the lord!"
Yang Hong even stroked his beard lightly as he spoke, with a proud look on his face, quite confident in his strategy.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xiang did not agree at all and directly refuted Yang Hong.
"Confused! A mediocre person misleads the master!"
Yang Hong frowned. He always respected Yan Xiang, but he didn't expect that the other party would insult him like this.
"Mr. Yan, why are you so rude?"
Yuan Shu couldn't even look at it. Yang Hong was the first counselor to follow him, so naturally he couldn't just watch indifferently.
"My lord, you are confused! It is true that Sun Jian is brave, but what if he breaks into Luoyang? He is still superficial and rootless! Without the support of my lord, he is nothing! Even if Sun Jian's 20,000 men really win, Without Dong Zhuo, how many people can be left?"
Yan Xiang was disappointed with both Yuan Shu and Yang Hong. He didn't expect that they didn't even understand such a simple truth!
"My lord, Sun Jian does not represent Jingzhou. On the contrary, he represents you, my lord! If Sun Jian takes the lead in attacking Luoyang, wouldn't the princes look at my lord differently? On the contrary, once Sun Jian is defeated and dies, my lord will lose a general and two If you don’t say anything about the thousands of elite soldiers, what will the heroes think of the lord? How will Yuan Shao laugh at the lord! The lord has lost his heart as a hero in the world because of one person!"
Yan Xiang's words were like enlightenment, allowing Yuan Shu to clear the clouds and see the light of day!
Yuan Shu was completely stunned, and he jumped out of his misunderstanding in an instant.
yes! Sun Jian was based in Changsha, and it was difficult to save the lives of his entire family. How could he dare to become the second Dong Zhuo? What's more, Sun Jian was born in poverty. Although he claimed to be a descendant of Sun Wu, his family had already fallen into decline! His status was not even as good as that of Dong Zhuo, who was born into a wealthy family!
How could people like Sun Jian do such a thing as dominate Luoyang!
If Sun Jian can really defeat Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu can take the opportunity to enter Luoyang from Dagu Pass!
Yuan Shu is the real second Dong Zhuo!
It's a pity, is it too late to understand this now?
"Yang Hong mistook me, Yang Hong mistook me!"
Yuan Shu slapped his thigh and regretted it, secretly regretting that he didn't listen to Yan Xiang's words.
"Quick, allocate food and fodder to Sun Jian immediately and support him with 5,000 men!"
Yan Xiang shook his head and sighed continuously.
"It's too late! It's too late! As of today, Sun Jian has been without food for several days! Even if the food and grass are sent out now, they will not be able to reach Sun Jian's military camp in two or three days! No matter how elite Sun Jian's soldiers are, they are still human beings. How can anyone endure without food for several days? ?”
Yuan Shu felt extremely regretful and couldn't help but glared at Yang Hong next to him. If he hadn't instigated him, how could he have made such a stupid decision!
"Yang..."
Just when he was about to put all the blame on Yang Hong, a soldier broke in outside the door and knelt on the ground extremely anxious.
"Reporting to my lord, Lu Bu attacked Sun Taishou's camp at night. Sun Taishou's army had no food and no defense. Lu Bu succeeded in sneak attack. Sun Taishou lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and came to Luyang with only a few thousand remaining soldiers. .”
It's over, Sun Jian was defeated!
Yuan Shu was heartbroken. Not to mention how the heroes would view him and how Yuan Shao would ridicule him. As long as Sun Jian was not dead, could he let it go?
"Yang Hong, it's all you! Tell me, what should we do now?"
Yuan Shu had no choice but to blame everything on Yang Hong.
Yang Hong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing in apology.
"My lord, please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life! I am also dedicated to my lord!"
Yuan Shu was a soft-spoken person, and Yang Hong was his confidant and direct descendant, so he lost much anger despite his earnest begging for mercy.
In the final analysis, it was not Yuan Shu's part that was lost. Yuan Shu was only troubled by the consequences, not that he felt sorry for Sun Jian.
"Get up! Think of a solution now. Mr. Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Xiang looked helpless. It was obviously Yuan Shu and Yang Hong who caused the mess, and he was the one who had to end it in the end, and it was impossible not to clean it up!
One day later, Sun Jian led the remaining troops back to Luyang.
The actual situation was even worse than Yuan Shu expected. Sun Jian only had more than 2,000 people left, and almost everyone was injured!
Compared with his imposing appearance not long ago, Sun Jian is much more depressed now. He no longer has the heroic spirit to win, only anger and unwillingness remain.
"Wen Tai, come and sit down! Let's have a glass of wine first to calm down."
Sun Jian stood there without moving even an inch, staring at Yuan Shu with cold eyes, which really made Yuan Shu's hot face feel cold.
