Sour jujube city.

Since Zhang Xiu conquered Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao has led the princes and 150,000 troops here. Every day, he trains his troops and regroups.

Not to mention, under such a safe environment, the morale of the army has recovered a lot.

But even if the morale recovered, Yuan Shao did not want to send troops again. Even if the spy came to report that Zhang Xiu went south to attack Yuan Shu, he would be as stable as Mount Tai.

He had made up his mind to stop fighting with Zhang Xiu and to lose his combat power. He just waited for the end of the matter here to return to Hebei and compete with Han Fu for Jizhou.

On that morning, the weather was gloomy and it rained occasionally.

In the city of Sourzao, a large army was rampant, with soldiers all the time. Ordinary people hid at home all day and dared not take to the streets.

Yuan Shao’s mansion, in the study.

Yuan Shao was painting at his desk, and he was still painting a beautiful woman. Beauties should be angry and happy, which was very beautiful, which shows that Yuan Shao painted.

As the core figure of the next generation cultivated by the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is actually versatile. He is not only familiar with various books, but also good at painting, calligraphy, and music.

At this moment, Xu You walked in from outside the door in a hurry.

Yuan Shao frowned a little unhappy when he heard the movement and saw Xu You so panic.

"It's a big deal to report to the lord. Zhang Xiu led 5,000 elite troops to attack Luyang. The city was broken, and the later general Yuan Gong was killed." Xu You bent down and said in fear.

Not long ago, all the Yuan clan members who stayed in Luoyang were killed by Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao became seriously ill because of this. Now his younger brother is dead, how can he not be afraid?

"What?!!!!" Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically, and then he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. "Brother!!!!" Yuan Shao looked up and fainted.

"Lord!!!!" Xu You's expression changed drastically when he saw this. This elder brother is his parents of food and clothing. If he really dies, where will he find such parents of food and clothing?

While Xu You helped Yuan Shao up, he pinched the Renzhong and stroked his back and let him go to see a doctor.

When the doctor came, Xu You had already helped Yuan Shao to rest on the small collapse of the inner room and carefully covered him with a quilt.

After the white-haired doctor had some treatment, he looked up and said to Xu You: "Don't worry, sir, the leader of the alliance is just angry for a moment. I'll just take a few medicines."

In fact, this doctor was a little confused. Judging from Yuan Shao's pulse, it was normal. Could this guy be pretending?

The doctor looked at Yuan Shao on the couch for a little longer and murmured in his heart.

But he didn't dare to care about such things.

"Okay, go and prescribe medicine quickly." Xu You said quickly.

After some trouble, all the princes knew about it. Soon a personal soldier came in and reported that the princes had all arrived.

Seeing this, Xu You had to instruct the personal soldiers present to take good care of Yuan Shao and go out to see the princes himself.

"Mr. Xu. What is the situation of the leader of the alliance?" The princes were waiting anxiously. When they saw Xu You coming out, they hurriedly surrounded Xu You and said with concern.

Xu You calmed down, barely showed a little smile, bowed to the princes, and said, "Please rest assured, the doctor came in to diagnose just now, and the lord was not seriously injured."

"It's so great." The princes all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were also one prince, in the current situation, if Yuan Shao was dead, no one else could suppress the scene, it would be in chaos.

Without Yuan Shao, it really won't work.

"Everyone, please come in." At this moment, Yuan Shao's weak voice sounded from the inner room.

Xu You and the princes all changed their expressions slightly, and then walked in together. Yuan Shao was lying on the collapse under the support of his personal soldiers, pale and looked very weak.

In fact, Yuan Shao was not only unhappy, but was also very happy.

Just now, Yuan Shao bit his mouth and then spit out a mouthful of blood. At that time, Dong Zhuo killed his tribe members in Luoyang City, including his own uncle. At that time, Yuan Shao was indeed a little sad.

But now, it's really open.

He wanted to raise his hands and feet and cheer.

Yuan Shu, a idiot, has been incompatible with him since he was a child. He often used himself as a legitimate wife (born by his wife), and he was a scoundrel who came out to run him out.

The two brothers are no longer just like being in harmony with each other, but also being enemies.

Furthermore, the world is in chaos now, and it is obvious that it is the situation at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Yuan Shu is the legitimate child, and he is the illegitimate child. The Yuan family's four generations and three public families only have one sign.

The existence of Yuan Shu is equivalent to sharing his interests. Once Yuan Shu dies, wouldn’t the reputation of the Yuan family’s three generations fall on him alone?

It's so gratifying, so gratifying. But this kind of joy can only be put in Yuan Shao's heart. He could only spit out a mouthful of blood and then get sick.

It's an old routine, it's true.

Yuan Shao raised his head, looked at the princes present, and said, "My brother's grudge is a small matter. But Sun Jian and Cao Cao are in Taigu Pass, and they are in a dilemma. If they fail, the big thing will be gone. We must save them. Now we will rectify our troops and count the baggage. We will send troops to Sishui Pass tomorrow."

"promise."

The princes all agreed and turned around.

Immediately, Yuan Shao asked Xu You and his personal soldiers to go down. Yuan Shao finally stopped pretending, opened his mouth and laughed silently.

No matter what Sun Jian or Cao Cao, he just did the same thing. When he arrived outside the Sishui Pass, he just continued to watch from the wall.

Now the princes have recovered their vitality. With Yuan Shao's order, the food and grass were completed on the same day, early the next morning. Yuan Shao took Gongsun Zan as his vanguard and asked Bao Xin to cut off the rear, commanded the central army and sent troops to Sishui Pass.

In just four days, they arrived at the Sishui Pass. While Yuan Shao set up camp, he summoned the princes in the newly established central army tent.

After several days of "cultivation", Yuan Shao's complexion has recovered a lot, and he looks red, but when he looks closely, he can still find a little sadness between Yuan Shao's eyebrows.

After seeing this, outsiders must praise him. "It's true that brotherly love is deep."

After everyone sat down, Yuan Shao raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Xiu is in Nanyang County, Xu Rong is not worth worrying about. However, Xiongjun, the army may not be able to win the attack. Now he should fight the generals."

"Where is Yan Liang?" Yuan Shao suddenly shouted loudly outside the tent.

"Lord." The majestic Yan Liang walked in from outside and said majestic.

"You go and challenge the enemy. Whether it is a fighting general or a large army to cover up the enemy, you will fight." Yuan Shao ordered.

"promise."

When Yan Liang heard this, he raised his head and raised his chest, responded with a loud voice, turned around and walked out of the big tent, carried a big knife, and rode out.

"Everyone follows me to watch the battle." Yuan Shao also stood up with great enthusiasm and said to the princes.

"No." The princes all agreed and followed Yuan Shao to the camp gate. At this time, Yan Liang had already led dozens of personal soldiers to challenge outside the pass.

"Xu Rong, I am Yan Liang, how dare I fight to the death with me?"

Yan Liang was wearing golden armor and a green embroidered robe behind him. He had a majestic voice and awesomeness, and he was a true general.

"General Yan is the best of the three armies. If Xu Rong dares to fight, he can solve it with one knife."

"General Yan Liang is so majestic, how dare Xu Rong'an fight?"

"Hahaha."

The princes standing at the camp gate whispered to each other, praised Yan Liangji and looked down on Xu Rong quite contemptuously. Yuan Shao also watched with a smile on his face.

At the pass, Xu Rong and Niu Li heard the news and came to the front of the gatehouse to watch.

"General Xu, Yan Liang is majestic, you should not fight." Niu Li glanced at Yan Liang, a little afraid, and turned his head and said to Xu Rong.

"Don't worry, General Niu. I'm not a foolish person." Xu Rong smiled slightly, and then said contemptuously: "What Yan Liang? He just shrank his head and turtle. That day, there was a battle in front of the Sishui Pass. Zhang Liao was the vanguard, so he didn't dare to fight. Later, Han Shouhou went to fight, and Yan Liang had no sound. Now, I was the only one left in the Sishui Pass, but he came out. It was exactly the same saying, "There is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king."

Seeing Xu Rong very calm, Niu Li couldn't help but breathe. He also praised in his heart. "General Xu is really strict and calm."

On his face, he also smiled and nodded and said, "General Xu said very much. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou were the bravest army, they were by no means the opponent of Han Shouhou."

Xu Rong stayed away without fighting and guarded the pass.

Yuan Shao at the camp gate was a little disappointed when he saw this. If he could kill Xu Rong and enter Sishui Pass, it would be a small victory.

"Hahahaha. Xu Rong is afraid of me, Yan Liang, and dare not go to fight." Yuan Shao laughed and said.

The princes also smiled and said the frivolous Xu Rong's words like a cannon. Xu Rong was distorted.

After Yan Liang shouted and scolded in front for a while, he saw that Xu Rong did not respond, so he led his troops back.

"Lord, the last general is incompetent and has no results." Yan Liang turned over and dismounted, bowed to Yuan Shao at the camp gate and said.

"Thank you for your hard work in General Yan." Yuan Shao personally got off the camp gate and helped Yan Liang up, and then comforted: "Then Xu Rong became a turtle with his head and did not dare to fight. What's going on with General Guan? The general has made merits and no demerits. Let's go and drink."

"No." Yan Liang replied, and led his personal soldiers back together.

Yuan Shao and the princes watched the Sishui Pass for a while, and after judging the topic, they also returned to the camp together.

That's how things happened.

Yuan Shao wanted Yan Liang to kill Xu Rong, but Xu Rong refused to fight. Yuan Shao did not intend to attack Sishui Pass, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

And over time, news from the front kept coming.

First, Sun Jian and Cao Cao retreated to Wancheng, and then Sun Jian. Cao Cao defeated Wancheng and retreated to Xiangfan. Zhang Xiu took advantage of the situation to arrive in Xiangfan, showed off his power and returned with Cai Mao.

After hearing this news, Yuan Shao and others couldn't sit still. After discussing together, they were about to withdraw.

Sun Jian, Cao Cao had already been defeated, and Zhang Xiu had already made a free move. Would they become the next target? If they don’t leave now, when will they wait?

However, when the troops were withdrawing, another major event happened to the princes. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, killed Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and incorporated Qiao Mao's men.

After this incident, the princes were separated from each other and dispersed. Among them, Yuan Shao led his troops back to Bohai County and prepared to actively deal with Han Fu.

Cao Cao also returned to the Central Plains to recruit soldiers and horses.

The princes developed their own development, and the world was in chaos.
