Sun Jian's military camp.

Although the soldiers in the camp were patrolling in an orderly manner, their expressions were somewhat lifeless. This was not only because they had lost the battle, but also because they had lost so cowardly that the soldiers were angry but had nowhere to vent their anger.

Leading the horse out of the camp gate, Zhao Yun saw everything in his eyes. He sighed softly, not knowing what to say. General Sun was willing to lead the world and lead by example. The victory in the first battle really inspired the coalition forces, but he did not expect that he would lose in the end.

In terms of food and grass supplies, people are really unwilling to accept it.

After Hua Xiong was killed by Guan Yu, the princes took advantage of the victory to pursue him and pushed the coalition camp outside Hulao Pass. I heard that General Sun had already brought people to see Yuan Shao. Zhao Yun felt regretful that he did not have the chance to meet him this time.

After mounting his horse, Zhao Yun straightened his armor, raised his hands and said, "Now that everyone has returned to the camp, my mission has been completed. I heard that my lord has garrisoned outside Hulao Pass, and I have to return with my White Horse Yi Cong."

My lord is here to obey the order. Everyone, take care!"

Ji Shu and others were saved by Zhao Yun, and they respected Zhao Yun even more along the way. When they saw this, they quickly clasped their fists and said, "Brother Zilong, take care. I wish you a prosperous martial arts career and victory in every battle."

Zhao Yun smiled softly, said goodbye to everyone, and led a group of white horse righteous soldiers who had been waiting outside Sun Jian's military camp to leave in style.

Qingshan looked at Zhao Yun's back and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, when things get better here, I want to join the army."

Ji Shu and Huang An couldn't help but look at each other.

"Follow Brother Zilong?" Huang An asked tentatively.

Qingshan nodded, and the light shining in his eyes was something Ji Shu had never seen in him before.

After a short silence, Ji Shu patted Qingshan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Well, I understand, I will tell the eldest lady."

Huang An patted it gently, put away the fan that he often used to show off, and asked doubtfully: "Why is it so sudden? Do you want to repay Brother Zilong for saving your life?"

Qingshan shook his head and said frankly: "I will remember this kindness in my heart. But I want to join the army just to become a person like Brother Zilong."

For Qingshan, this encounter may be a little different from the two of them. It gave him a deeper shock than the two of them.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Ji Shu teased: "Qingshan, you and Brother Zilong both have the same name as 'Yun'. This is fate. You should study hard with Brother Zilong. Miss, what about you?"

Don’t worry, I’m still here. I’m waiting for you to become a general like Brother Zilong who can command thousands of troops.”

"Oh, I see, it's hard!" Huang An shook his fan and chuckled, shaking his head and turning away.

Qingshan didn't understand Huang An's teasing, he just kept giggling next to him.

"Haha, dear brother, please stop teasing this idiot."

The three of them returned to the camp laughing and laughing, and their laughter spread far.

Luoyang City.

"What? Hua Xiong is dead!" Dong Zhuo jumped up, threw the wine cup in his hand, and said angrily, "Damn Yuan Shao, I will cut him to pieces sooner or later!"

The soldier who reported the news was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo had vented for a while, Li Ru stepped forward and said: "Hua Xiong died, and many soldiers and horses were lost, and morale is low. For this plan, only the Prime Minister can lead the army to fight in person."

Dong Zhuo calmed down quickly. He sat down slowly, took a sip of wine, and said hesitantly: "But the city of Luoyang is not stable. If I leave, I'm afraid..."

Li Ru thought about it for a while and continued to persuade: "Situ Wang Yun, Yu Linlang Fu Wan, and Grand Tutor Yuan Wei. These three are all capable of threatening the security of the capital. They are indeed a hidden danger. But I thought about it carefully."

"Fu Wan's imperial army only has 3,000 men. It can protect the emperor. If there is a rebellion, who will protect the emperor? Fu Wan is the emperor's father-in-law. If we don't touch him, he will definitely not dare to move lightly."

"Grand Tutor Yuan Wei, he is an uncle of the Yuan Shao clan, and he is most at odds with his father-in-law. I'm afraid that as soon as you leave, he will lead the Luoyang nobles to revolt. The influence of the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family is very important, so we should kill him

, so that Zhenxiao is small. In this way, my father-in-law can send troops with peace of mind."

"Although the Seven-Star Sword was found to be related to Wang Yun in the last assassination, it has been found out that Wang Yun was not the one who planned the incident. Furthermore, Situ Wang Yun was the last cornerstone of the Han Dynasty, and if he were to be killed

, I’m afraid that all the nobles in the world will no longer have any illusions about the emperor.

After thinking about it, the emperor's weight will be reduced, and the princes from all over the world will become more unscrupulous. This is not good for the father-in-law. Besides, Wang Yun is quite sensible and has never openly opposed the prime minister. If he kills Yuan Wei, it will be just right.

Leave him to handle court affairs."

Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's it! Li Ru, I'll leave this matter to you. Fengxian, the 20,000 newly recruited soldiers will be left to guard Luoyang. I will take the remaining 100,000 horses out. You

Go down and make arrangements. When the food and fodder are ready, the army will set off immediately."

Li Ru and Lu Brown said: "Take the order!"

After a while, the military discussion was over.

Li Ru was about to go back to pack his luggage when he suddenly met a scholar in green clothes who came forward and saluted and said: "Military advisor, a nursery rhyme in the market recently said: 'There is a Han in the west and a Han in the east. When a deer walks into Chang'an, there will be no such difficulty.'

thin

Thinking about it, this is God's will. The princes' conquests are just for fame and fortune. If the prime minister gives up Luoyang and takes the emperor to move back to Chang'an, the princes will retreat. The prime minister will preside over the Han court in Chang'an, and he will be able to maintain long-term peace and harmony and comply with God's will."

"And this nursery rhyme?" Li Ru was slightly startled after hearing what the scholar in Qingyi said, and said, "Go down and let me think about it."

"Yes." The scholar in Tsing Yi retreated as he was told.

The soldiers guarding the door saw the scribe in blue coming out and asked, "How is it? Mr. Jia, have you seen the Prime Minister?"

The scribe in green smiled and said: "Although I didn't ask to see the Prime Minister, it is more useful than meeting the Prime Minister."

Allied Forces Camp.

"Brother, uncle Yuan Wei and his family were killed by the old thief Dong Zhuo to the death! Let's march in the army quickly! We must kill Dong Zhuo alive!" Yuan Shu said with anger and sadness, glaring at Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao drank wine by himself and kept sighing.

"Report, General Sun Jian is here."

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were stunned for a moment, and their expressions became a little unnatural.

Sun Jian strode in with three generals. Sun Jian glared at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo and I have no grudges at first, but for the sake of the country and the country, I came thousands of miles to lead the troops and lead my soldiers to fight Dong Zhuo to the death.

. Now it is said that it is because of the hatred of General Yuan’s family, but General Yuan did not distribute food and grass, resulting in my disastrous defeat. I came here today to ask the leader of the alliance to give an explanation to Sun Jian."

Yuan Shao was shocked, looked at Yuan Shu and asked: "Is this happening?"

Yuan Shu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I really don't know. I have already asked the adjutant to arrange to deliver food and grass to General Sun. How could this happen?"

"Then let's call General Yuan's adjutant to confront him." Sun Jian sat down, showing no signs of emotion or anger. The three generals behind him stood silently behind Sun Jian.

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Shu and ordered his sergeants to confront Yuan Shu's deputy general.

Not long after, the sergeant who just left returned and reported: "My lord, Master Yuan Shu's adjutant committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

Yuan Shu suddenly said: "This guy must have swallowed the army rations privately. He didn't want General Sun to be a lucky man and return safely, so he committed suicide out of fear of the crime. General Sun, I was not strict in my supervision, so I apologize to you. I will order someone to punish the crime later."

How about sending the general's head to General Sun, and also sending 3,000 pieces of armor, a sword, and a good horse each as an apology?"

The three generals behind Sun Jian were already furious, how could they believe it? However, the lord remained calm and did not dare to go overboard.

Sun Jian secretly clenched his fists, his eyes twitching, but he said calmly: "In this case, Sun Jian has nothing to say, so let's just say goodbye."

Then Sun Jian took the three generals and walked away without looking back.

Yuan Shao sighed and said: "You didn't do this cleanly. Now that you have done it, don't let Sun Jian come back. Now that he has a suspicion, he will definitely be in trouble with us in the future."

Yuan Shu was stunned after hearing this, hesitated for a while, and then said: "I didn't expect that Hua Xiong was so incompetent. I helped him so much, but he still couldn't keep Sun Jian. What's even more annoying is that Gongsun Zan, his troops are
