Gongsun Xu was as unmoved as a man in tears. Tian Yu said again: "Sir, Liu Bei has left without saying goodbye. I will get up quickly..."
"General Tian, please don't...don't talk too much...continue...every inch is in chaos...everything in this army...everything will be done to General Tian." Gongsun Xu said sobbingly.
Tian Yu sighed, turned around, and handed down the military order, ordering the Youzhou troops to prepare to set off. The Youzhou troops were all dejected. If they were mourning, they would no longer have to continue fighting with the terrifying Liangzhou army, and their spirits suddenly dropped.
Come on, pack your bags and prepare to return home, this news is big!
At this time, Yuan Shao was summoning various princes to seek countermeasures. Xu You stepped forward and said confidently: "Alliance leader, don't be discouraged. You have a plan to capture this unbreakable Sishui Pass without spending a single soldier."
When everyone in the tent heard this, their eyes lit up, and Yuan Shao said: "Sir, what good advice do you have? Come quickly, if it is true as what you said, it will be a blessing to the three armies!"
Xu You gave a slight salute without being humble or arrogant, and talked eloquently: "You see, this Si Shui Pass is located in a depression and is located on the bank of the river. In ten months, the rainy season will come and the river will be plentiful. We can dig embankments to fill it with water."
Yanguan, isn’t it wonderful?”
When the princes heard this plan, all the sorrow on their faces disappeared, and they all praised Yuan Shao: "Yuan Gong's men are really hiding dragons and crouching tigers. There are no less than a few men with a million-strong army! When Sishui Pass is captured and Dong's thieves are eliminated, we will wait for him.
The achievements of Duke Yuan will be reported to the emperor truthfully."
Yuan Shao was very proud and laughed and said: "From tomorrow onwards, our army will not be able to come out." Then Yuan Shao walked up to Sun Jian and said: "Since the water is going to flood Sishuiguan, the river bank must be firmly controlled by our army.
In your hands, General Sun should lead his troops and station them on the north bank of the river, okay?"
Sun Jian frowned when he heard this, and was about to reply, but Cao Cao jumped in and said, "No! If that's the case, wouldn't it be a warning?"
Sun Jian also said: "Exactly, the general thought that it would not be too late to occupy the dam until the rainy season comes."
When Yuan Shao saw this, he felt unhappy, but he said, "Why don't I know this?"
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly at this time and said: "As long as the rainy season comes, big things can be decided, but this food and grass..."
Yuan Shao was very happy to see that Zhang Yang had changed the subject and helped him out of the siege. He said generously: "The leader of the alliance is responsible for the supplies of the sons and daughters of Shangdang County. General Zhang does not need to worry about it."
"Report~~~~! Generals, Gongsun Zan's troops seem to be preparing to return home, and are now getting ready to pack up." The small school came to report.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he became furious and said: "Today we have been defeated for a while. The person in charge of Gongsun Zan's army is so ignorant. If we retreat at this time, wouldn't it disturb the morale of our army and treat our leader as if he is nothing? His heart can't live in it!"
Cao Cao thought to himself at this time: "The withdrawal of Gongsun Zan's troops is enough to prove that Gongsun Zan is dead. If Liu Bei was in charge, he would definitely not make such a move at this time. If Liu Bei was not in charge, wouldn't it be a failure if he didn't save Gongsun Zan today?! Absolutely not.
Let’s find out.” After thinking about this, Cao Cao stepped forward and said, “I’ll go and find out later, okay?”
"Meng De's words have won my heart!" Yuan Shao said.
A group of princes left Yuan Shao's central army camp and rushed to Gongsun Zan's camp. Tian Yu knew that Yuan Shu would not turn a blind eye to retreat at this time, but it would not be too difficult for the Youzhou army. If the Sishui Pass was new,
Defeated, they began to fight among themselves. The allied army would be defeated soon!
Just as the Youzhou army was getting ready to go, Yuan Shao and other princes arrived. Tian Yu knew something was wrong, so he led Yan Gang and other generals to Yuan Shao and said, "The last general, Tian Yu, is going to inform the leader of the alliance that my lord, Gong Sun Zan, has died. For this matter, the leader of the alliance came unexpectedly."
Yuan Shao heard this and saw that this man treated him with respect, so he felt good and sighed: "General Gongsun is so powerful, but unfortunately he was killed by an arrow. Shao is heartbroken. I dare to ask why the general is dressing up late at night." thing?"
Tian Yu knew that Yuan Shao and his entourage were coming with bad intentions, so he went straight to the point: "Today, my lord is no match for the traitor Lu Bu. He fled to Cao Cao's horse. Cao Cao did not save him, so my lord was shot and killed by an arrow. For this reason, I, the sergeant of Youzhou, My heart is cold and I can no longer fight. I follow the order of the young master and want to return to Youzhou."
Today, during the battle between Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu, Yuan Shao was actually very close to Cao Cao. Naturally, he could see clearly. At this time, the other party brought up the matter as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, Yuan Shao was in the wrong. He wanted to say something but was speechless. He could only turn his attention to his childhood friend. Cao Cao.
Cao Cao searched for Liu Bei among the generals in Youzhou for a long time but could not see him. He knew something was wrong. When he saw Yuan Shao looking at him, he came forward and said with a sad face: "General, you have wronged Cao. Cao Cao has heard for a long time that General Gongsun Zan is unparalleled in bravery." , who was especially good at riding and shooting, saw General Gongsun abandoning his gun and running away. He thought that General Gongsun was faking defeat and wanted to defeat Lu Bu by pretending to retreat. He was afraid that General Gongsun's clever plan would be ruined, so he did not rescue him. Wrong, it’s so painful to worry about!”
Yuan Shu saw it clearly in the crowd, and sneered in his heart: "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde! I don't know when you have developed this ability to turn a deer into a horse and confuse right and wrong! This is really amazing!"
Tian Yu never thought that Cao Cao would say such a thing, and he was speechless for a moment. Yuan Shao took advantage of the heat and asked, "General Tian is now the person in charge of the Youzhou Army?"
"I am in charge temporarily," Tian Yu corrected.
When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask General, is Xuande in the army?"
"Liu Bei saw that our army in Youzhou was weak and left without saying goodbye." Yan Gang interjected.
Cao Cao took a breath of air and looked at the person in front of him with admiration! Leaving without saying goodbye? Why leaving without saying goodbye! He must have been forced to leave by Tian Yu. Who is Liu Bei? It seems that Tian Yu is not a simple person!
Tian Yu no longer paid attention to Cao Cao, but said to Yuan Shao: "Alliance leader, I, the son of Youzhou, will get up and return to Youzhou immediately. Yu wishes all generals a victory."
Yuan Shu said repeatedly: "Don't you want to avenge the murderer, General?"
When Tian Yu heard this, he didn't answer but laughed and said: "Our army in Youzhou has only a few generals, and none of them are the enemies of Lu Bu. Moreover, the morale of the army is disorganized. Is there any use in staying here? Could it be that the leader of the alliance thinks that he can just accumulate chicken feathers to gain courage?" Defeat Lu Bu? Capture the Sishui Pass? Get rid of Dong Zhuo?" After saying this, Tian Yu turned around and left. The Youzhou general looked at Cao Cao with a look of resentment in his eyes.
Cao Cao thought to himself: "Miscalculation! Miscalculation! I never thought that Gongsun Zan would have such a person under his command!"
Although Yuan Shao was very dissatisfied, he had good reasons. If they were to fight against each other at this time, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the other soldiers of the coalition? Yuan Shao could only say in a loud voice: "In this case, Shao will not send it. !”
An hour later, Gongsun Xu, surrounded by Tian Yu and Yan Gangdi, led the Youzhou sergeants and disappeared into the night...
In the evening of the next day, the temporary Grand Master's residence in the Hulao Pass city was really full of guests! Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Haha! With my son here first, even if Yuan Shao's son has wings, it will be difficult for him to live in Sishui Pass! Haha!
