Chapter 8 Intrigue

"Lord, something is wrong!" Four generals under Sun Jian's command arrived hand in hand.

"What's the matter?" Sun Jian frowned and asked.

Huang Gai stepped forward and said: "Lord, we only brought 10 days of military rations. Originally, there were allied forces from the princes behind us, and we have sentries along the way, so we should have nothing to worry about."

"However, it is now the sixth day, and the grain and grass that should have arrived the day before yesterday have not yet appeared. Although the lord has sent three groups of cavalry to Yuan Shu to urge grain, the general has discussed it in detail, fearing that Yuan Shu will

I deliberately did not distribute food and fodder, so I came to see the lord and ask the lord to make plans in advance!"

Sun Jian unconsciously tapped the desk with his fingers, thought for a while, and said slowly: "There are so many sentries along the way. I don't think Hua Xiong is that capable of intercepting grain and grass without leaking the news."

"As for Yuan Shu, he shouldn't be so stupid. This alliance is nominally a blood edict from the emperor. There are eighteen princes gathered here, and the leader is his brother. I am the vanguard and open the way for the army. He

If you deliberately cut off my food and grass, wouldn't it alienate the princes and make the world laugh at you? I'm afraid there are some other accidents, so I'll wait in peace."

"Lord!" Zu Mao is an upright man, he will say whatever he wants.

"Now there are only 4 days of food and grass left. If we wait any longer, if Yuan Shu is really kicked in the head by a donkey and deliberately refuses to give us food and grass. If the soldiers have no food to eat, how can we fight this battle?"

Cheng Pu also echoed: "My lord, what Zu Mao said is not unreasonable. I think it is better to wait for another day. If there is no food and grass delivered tomorrow, we will close the camp and guard the stronghold, and divide the remaining three days of food and grass into

It will be distributed within 5 days, and if it doesn’t work, the troops will be withdrawn.”

Sun Jian sighed and said, "That's it."

······

Allied Forces Camp.

Gongsun Zan clasped his fists and asked, "Alliance leader, I've been waiting here for a long time to have a banquet. I'm afraid something will go wrong. General Sun is fighting bloody battles at the front and has already killed Vice General Hua Xiong. I wonder when the alliance leader plans to attack?"

Yuan Shao raised his glass and said: "Why should General Gongsun be so impatient? Although we have a large number of people, we have many inconveniences in commanding the troops and horses. We should wait until General Sun Jian captures Hulao Pass before discussing."

Gongsun Zan didn't wait for Yuan Shao to finish, and said in a louder voice irritably: "General Sun only has more than 20,000 people. To attack the dangerous Hulao Pass, Hua Xiong has 50,000 troops. I can't wait, even if General Sun

If Hulao Pass was captured, wouldn't it also result in heavy losses?"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Hey, General Gongsun was overly worried. Didn't the battle report come back that General Sun Jian defeated Hua Xiong with less?"

This code is the same code. Gongsun Zan's men are cavalry, so he is naturally reluctant to use these precious lumps to attack the city. Sun Jian dares to lead the way for the world, and Gongsun Zan secretly admires him.

But now Sun Jian is fighting bloody battles in the front, while he and others are drinking here all day long. I am waiting for the thieves to come, why don't we make the world laugh at me? Gongsun Zan shook his head, stood up from his seat, and said angrily: "Gongsun Zan can't say that.

Leader, everyone, eat and drink well. I will go first."

After saying this, Gongsun Zan turned around and left.

Yuan Shao held up his wine glass and said helplessly: "Oh, this, this..."

······

At night, Hulao Pass.

"Report! A letter was sent from outside the customs just now." A soldier came in hurriedly.

"Huh?" Hua Xiong raised his eyes and said, "Bring it over and let me take a look."

Soon, Hua Xiong ordered: "Go and invite the military advisor."

······

In the morning, just after dinner, Qingshan patted his belly and said naively.

"Zi Yuan, Huang An, this situation is wrong!"

Huang An rolled his eyes at Qingshan and said, "I just know how to eat. It's rare that you can see that something is wrong."

Qingshan continued honestly: "I wasn't very full to begin with, and now I'm not even half full."

"Yuan Shu did not distribute food and fodder!"

Ji Shu said solemnly, this is not Ji Shu's clever plan, but who told us that we have traveled through time.

Huang An sighed softly and nodded in agreement.

"That's right. General Sun has so many scouting horses. I guess Hua Xiong doesn't have the ability to steal food and grass silently. But I didn't expect that before the gate of Luoyang was opened, the battle between the princes started."

There was silence in the tent.

Qingshan probed his head and asked: "What should we do?"

Ji Shu said in a deep voice: "Let's go see General Sun."

The three of them did as they were told, and soon arrived at Sun Jian's tent.

At this time, in the big tent, Sun Jian and Sun Ce were studying the map.

"You want me to withdraw my troops?" Sun Jian frowned and looked at Ji Shu and others.

"General, if you don't withdraw your troops, you will definitely be defeated!" Ji Shu walked up and said calmly.

"Huh"

It's been a long time since I've seen someone dare to talk to Sun Jian like this. Sun Ce looked at Ji Shu in surprise.

But Ji Shu didn't just talk nonsense without thinking about anything. He knew that ordinary words would definitely not be able to persuade Sun Jian, and only some impactful words could make Sun Jian listen. And he expected that his current identity belonged to the Huang family.

Guest, and the Huang family has made it clear that they support Sun Jian. Sun Jian is not even arrogant, because with this sentence, he severely punished Ji Shu and made the Huang family lose face.

There was a moment of silence.

Sun Jian stared at the young man fiercely. He was gentle, 2 years younger than Sun Ce, and looked a little childish. But the young man also looked back at him without flinching. He nodded slightly: "Go on."

"Yuan Shu deliberately did not distribute food and fodder." Ji Shu did not make any detours, he said to Sun Ce with certainty.

"There are two reasons. One is that the general made great achievements as soon as he arrived at Hulao Pass, which made Yuan Shu very afraid. Second, I want to ask the general, if the Han Dynasty overthrows, who has the best chance to become the emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Sun Jian, but also Sun Ce changed their expressions. Even Huang An and Qingshan were so frightened that they peeked at the door, fearing that others would overhear them.

Sun Jian's eyes were fierce and he said: "Are you saying that brother Yuan Shu has different intentions?"

"General, I didn't say that."

Ji Shu was not stupid. Although it was okay to say it clearly in his opinion, he came to his senses after seeing everyone's reaction. After all, times were different and some things should not be explained too clearly, otherwise he might not know how he died.

He quietly denied it.

"General, the largest wealthy family in the world is the Yuan family. If we can really put down the rebels, do you think the Yuan family will be willing to give you the greatest credit? If you fail to defeat the rebels, the situation will be even more subtle. The courage of the princes will be reduced.

It's getting bigger and bigger, do you think the Yuan family will be willing to see a strong Sun family?"

"They want to use your sword to chop Dong Zhuo, but they also want to break it. If you die, do you think Yuan Shao will kill his brother because of you? I'm afraid the two brothers will have a drink.

Fan."

"So, general, there's no need to wait. You won't be able to wait for Yuan Shu's supplies. The longer you delay your withdrawal, the greater the risk."

After saying that, Ji Shu and others waited quietly for Sun Jian to make a decision. Sun Ce had already been persuaded by Ji Shu, and he couldn't help but look at Sun Jian and said: "Father..."

Sun Jian waved his hand and interrupted Sun Ce's words. He frowned and sat down absentmindedly: "You guys go out first and let me think about it again."

Sun Ce hesitated to speak, but finally motioned for everyone to follow him and leave the tent. Ji Shu was anxious, but had no choice.

But Ji Shu felt that his words should still be of some use. Sun Jian would definitely make a decision and he would withdraw his troops tomorrow at the latest.

However, the wheel of history rolls forward, seeming to laugh at Ji Shu.

That night.

"The granary is on fire!... It's on fire!!" someone pointed at the sudden fire in the distance and exclaimed.

The three of them rushed out of the camp and saw that a fire had been lit in the food storage area. Suddenly, the shouts of killing rose to the sky outside. Sun Jian's soldiers came out of the camp one after another with their clothes a little messy. They rushed to fight. The camp became a mess.

.

Ji Shu's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot and said: "No! This is wrong! Hua Xiong has been unable to retreat. We only limited food today. How could he know so quickly that our army is short of food and his morale is unstable?

We’ve even arranged a night attack!”

Huang An said anxiously: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I'm afraid General Sun Jian will lose this battle. Let's find a way to get out!"

······

"Haha!" At this time, Hua Xiong looked at the fire in front of him and laughed wantonly.

A person next to him suddenly said: "General, look, is that person Sun Jian?"

"Huh?" Hua Xiong looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and happened to see Sun Jian leading his men to break out of the encirclement.

"Let's go! Come with me, behead Sun Jian tonight, go back and ask for credit from the Prime Minister!" Hua Xiong laughed loudly, pulled out his long sword, and went to kill Sun Jian first.

Sun Jian heard Hua Xiong's voice from a distance, and turned around angrily to meet him: "How dare your defeated generals act so recklessly!"

"kill"

Sun Jian's Tiger Roar Camp and Hua Xiong's Xiliang Cavalry charged together again.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Jian and Hua Xiong fought for another ten rounds in the chaos.

Li Su originally led his troops to burn the grain and fodder, and then arranged for his troops to set fires everywhere. Just as he was about to come back and join Hua Xiong, he unexpectedly saw Sun Jian and Hua Xiong fighting, and hurriedly ordered his cavalry to charge over.

"Lord, leave quickly!" Cheng Pu and Han Dang saw Li Su's men coming and hurriedly fought their way to Sun Jian's side, then stepped forward and forced Hua Xiong away.

Although Sun Jian was unwilling to give in, he also knew that this was not the time to be emotional, so he turned his horse's head and said: "Let's go! Follow me and fight out!"

Hua Xiong laughed loudly. Seeing that Li Su had also led troops here, he refused to let Sun Jian go. He shouted: "My sons, chase after me! Whoever beheads Sun Jian will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill"
