Chapter 437: Killing someone with a borrowed knife
After retreating for thirty miles, it was not until dawn the next day that Sun Jian's three generals, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu all returned, except for Zu Mao. This made Sun Jian feel happy and slightly regretful, but
, there were less than 10,000 soldiers left under Sun Jian's command.
Sun Jian couldn't help but thank Zuo Aorana for sending troops to rescue him. When he talked with Zhang Xu and others about the reasons for the defeat, he couldn't help but feel very angry with Yuan Shu.
When they returned to the camp of the 20th princes' coalition, they reported to the alliance leader Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao and everyone else were shocked. Only then did they understand that Zuo Aoran did not tell the reason why Sun Jian was defeated at that time, and they couldn't help but look at Zuo Aoran with admiration.
In the future, Sun Jian and his army were stationed in Liang County, and only General Huang Gai was sent back. As soon as Huang Gai entered the tent, he said angrily: "Yuan Gongdao did not send food and grass, which caused our army to be defeated. I hope the leader of the alliance can correct the military order."
Yuan Shao was in a very difficult position. Although he didn't like this younger brother, he couldn't help but show some favoritism. Yuan Shu also blamed him, saying that it was the negligence of his subordinates. The generals would have no choice but to kill the negligent subordinates of Yuan Shu to avoid harm.
Already.
"Fortunately, we have five thousand fine cavalry sent by our wise brother to support us. Otherwise, Sun Wentai's defeat will definitely cause a setback to our army's morale." Cao Cao said to Zuo Aoran with great joy.
Zuo Aoran smiled slightly at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De is too complimentary."
In order to divert the attention to himself, Yuan Shao sighed and said: "General Bao's brother did not listen to the instructions and marched to Sishui Pass on his own. He was killed by Hua Xiong with a sword and fell from his horse. He also lost thousands of troops. Not long ago
, General Sun Wentai turned out to be no match for Hua Xiong. He was defeated by Liang County. Now the morale of our army is completely depleted. What should you do?"
No one in the twenty groups answered. Tian Feng, Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others who were standing behind Zuo Aoran heard Yuan Shao's words about Sun Jian's defeat. Everyone looked at the lord sitting in front of them. It was really like this.
Zuo Aoran said the same thing!
This time Sun Jian returned with a great defeat and lost his army. Everyone under Zuo Aoran and Huang Gai looked at Yuan Shu who was sitting on the other side. The people's eyes looked at Yuan Shu with horror.
The Liu Bei brothers stood behind Gongsun Zan. At this time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wen Chou and others were all sneering. Yuan Shao knew that he could not offend Zuo Aoran, so it would be fine for Wen Chou and others, but he would definitely offend the three people behind Gongsun Zan.
He stood up, frowned and said: "Gongsun Prefect, who is standing behind you?"
Gongsun Zan looked at the three Liu Bei brothers, stood up, clasped his fists and said to Yuan Shao: "This is my brother who has been with me since childhood, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, magistrates of Pingyuan County. This time, he will join Zan in the crusade against Dong Zhuo."
Yuan Shao originally wanted to vent his anger to those three people, but now he was too lazy to speak. It turned out that the other person was just a small county magistrate. Who did he think he was? Instead, Cao Cao, who was sitting next to Yuan Shao, stood up and said, "Could it be that he was the one who was with me at the beginning?"
I'm waiting for Liu Xuande who breaks the Yellow Turban together."
"That's right, this County Magistrate Liu is still the Queen of Hanzhong Mountain, Prince Jing." Zuo Aoran suddenly stood up and continued.
Everyone didn't believe it at all, but since these words came from Zuo Aoran's mouth, they had no choice but to believe it. Cao Cao went even further, clasping his fists and replying: "I've heard about Liu Xuande's name for a long time, and it's really great to see him today.
I'm so lucky." Cao Cao praised Liu Bei so much, and Liu Bei naturally responded politely.
"If you don't believe me, there is a general under Ran who is also a member of the Han family. You can take out the family tree and let everyone take a look." Zuo Aoran said with a smile, and at the same time nodded slightly to Liu Bei.
"Liu Heng, the third son of the great ancestor Liu Bang, gave birth to fourteen sons to Emperor Xiaojing Liu Qi (the eldest son of Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng). The seventh son was Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan. Liu Zhen, the Marquis of Luchengting, was born to Sheng, Liu Ang, the Marquis of Pei, Liu Ang, the Marquis of Zhang, Liu Lian, the Marquis of Yishui, was born to Lu.
, Liu Ying was born as the Marquis of Qinyang, Liu Jian was born as the Marquis of Anguo, Liu Ai was born as the Marquis of Guangling, Liu Xian was born as the Marquis of Glue,
Xian was born to Liu Shu, the Marquis of Zuyi, Shu was born to Liu Yi, the Marquis of Qiyang, Liu Bi, the Marquis of Yuanze, was born to Yi, Liu Da was the Marquis of Yingchuan, Da was born to Liu Buyi, the Marquis of Fenling, Liu Hui, the Marquis of Jichuan was born to Buyi, Liu Xiong, the Fanling of Huisheng East County,
Xiong gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Liu Hong, and the second son Liu Xuan.
Zuo Aoran had prepared this for a long time. When he left the capital, he specifically asked the Queen Mother He Wan to come out. The purpose was to clear Liu Bei's name and help him achieve great achievements. The main reason was because Zuo Aoran really didn't see it.
Liu Bei came up with proof and then took matters into his own hands.
But I couldn't ask for it for nothing. Although I had a good relationship with the Queen Mother He Wan, I still had to find some excuses, so I fell in love with Liu Hu. What I didn't expect was that the Queen Mother He Wan didn't even bother to fight, so she asked the censor to draw up a plan.
Genealogy for Zuo Aoran.
Yuan Shao originally wanted to vent his anger on the three brothers, but unexpectedly a Han clan clan member came out. He looked at Zuo Aoran hatefully, helplessly ordered his men to get tables and chairs, and then said: "Please, I must
I respect you for your official position because you are a descendant of the Han clan."
"Thank you, leader, for sitting here." Liu Bei thanked Yuan Shao and gave Zuo Aoran a kind smile.
Although Liu Bei doesn't understand why Zuo Aoran did this, he has already given you a good hand, so you can't turn him away thousands of miles away. Even if he has intentions for you, it will be a matter of the future.
, what's more, you have given yourself such a big face, and besides, with what you are doing now, what else can others have in mind!
Yuan Shao nodded, but his eyes still glanced at the three Liu Bei brothers with disdain. He looked down on Liu Bei very much. Maybe it was because Liu Bei and Zuo Aoran were familiar with each other. During this period, Yuan Shao only saw Zuo Aoran.
I just wanted to kill him.
"Everyone, everyone, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should make plans early. I wonder what we should do now?" Yuan Shao brought the topic back to the right track this time.
After looking at Zuo Aoran who was silent and as if he was a Maitreya Buddha, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Alliance leader, the main force of our army should speed up the advance. We must arrive at Sishui Pass as early as possible to meet with General Sun. Otherwise, we may be too late."
Change.”
"What Ah Man said makes sense." Yuan Shao nodded happily, and then ordered: "Instruct all the armies of the princes to speed up the advance. They must arrive at Sishui Pass as early as possible and meet up with General Sun's forward troops as soon as possible."
Without further ado, seven days later, the armies of all the princes arrived at Sishui Pass, joined Sun Jian's army that had been defeated earlier, and set up their positions. The princes discussed how to attack Sishui Pass in the big tent.
Just at this time, a soldier came up to report: "Report, report to the leader, Dong Zhuojun and Hua Xiong are outside shouting and challenging."
Yuan Shao looked around at the princes and asked nonchalantly: "The enemy general Hua Xiong challenges him, who is willing to go and challenge him?"
"I have a general under my command. His surname is Liu and his name is "刕" with three swords. He is brave enough to capture Hua Xiong." Kong Min, the governor of Yuzhou, stood up and clasped his fists.
Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, also stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I also have a general under my command, named Han Yong. He can be called an enemy of ten thousand people and can kill Hua Xiong!"
"I also have a young general under my command, his surname is Wang Mingchong. Killing Hua Xiong is like picking something out of a bag!" Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, also stood up and clasped his fists.
