Chapter 1091 After I die, who cares about the floods!
However, even if there were several princes from Ding Yuan who stayed at this moment, Yuan Shao's complexion still became extremely ugly. There is a saying that when disaster strikes, everyone will fly away, which is quite vivid when applied to these princes.
Their total number is no less than hundreds of thousands of elites. Even though they seem to be at a disadvantage in terms of general trends at the moment, if everyone can work together to fight, they will not be without the power to fight.
After all, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, plus a group of generals, if they really want to fight to the death with the imperial court, Chu Yi really will not fight with them head-on. After all, the consequence of fighting to the death is that both sides will suffer losses. Maybe by then he can unite all the princes to join forces.
Suppression, but it is certain that even the imperial court will be greatly weakened by then.
If the strength of the imperial court is greatly damaged, then it is certain that the world will really be in chaos. Don't forget that there are only a dozen or so princes who actually responded to Yuan Shao's call. Most of these people are entrenched
It was just one county, but how could it be that the Han Dynasty only had a dozen counties?
Not to mention other things, there are only a few princes named Liu from the Han Dynasty who appear, such as Liu Yan who is entrenched in Yizhou and occupies the Sichuan-Sichuan natural barrier, Liu Biao who occupies Jingzhou, and Tao Qian who occupies the land of Xuzhou, etc.
The princes, the strength of these people is much stronger than that of Yuan Shao and others.
Even though each of these people seems to be surrendering to the imperial court at the moment, Chu Yi knows very well that if the imperial court is strong enough, then these people may suppress their ambitions and continue to submit to the imperial court, but once the imperial court reveals
When the situation begins to decline, the ambitions of those who keep these things will grow. At that time, it is doubtful whether the emperor's will can be carried out beyond the capital.
It was precisely with these considerations in mind that Chu Yi chose to agree to the confrontation with the coalition forces led by Yuan Shao instead of fighting desperately with them.
Yuan Shao looked at the remaining princes, took a deep breath, cheered up and said: "Everyone, if we are not able to work together at this time of life and death, I am afraid that we will really be defeated this time.
He died at the hands of Chu thieves."
Ding Yuan laughed extremely boldly and said: "Since Ding respects you, Yuan Benchu, as the leader of the alliance, then everything will follow your orders. From now on, you will dispatch the 20,000 elite men under Ding's command, Yuan Benchu. If there are any who do not obey, you will be dispatched."
From Ding on down, everyone will be dealt with according to military law."
It can be said that the more than 20,000 elite cavalry in Ding Yuan's hands are definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Now that he has received Ding Yuan's promise, Yuan Shao's originally hanging heart has finally dropped a little.
Ding Yuan promised to obey Yuan Shao's orders in everything. With Ding Yuan's example, the other princes also expressed to Yuan Shao that they would hand over the military power to Yuan Shao and obey Yuan Shao's arrangements in everything.
Of course, Yuan Shao would not really take the words of the princes seriously. If he really used the excuse of disobeying military orders to kill several princes of Ding Yuan, the soldiers and horses under his command would immediately jump out and rebel against him.
.
But even so, for several princes to make such a promise in front of so many people, it can be seen that this situation really frightened Ding Yuan and others.
Anyone who is not a fool can realize that if they don't unite, not only will their previous efforts be in vain, but everyone might actually die like Yuan Shao said.
When it came time to really fight, these princes were all good, and they all had the courage and determination to fight.
Yuan Shao soon made a calculation and found out that aside from the few princes who fled first, those princes took away almost more than 50,000 elite soldiers, and the few princes who were born had a total of nearly 100,000 troops.
.
Among them, Yuan Shao had more than 30,000 elites under his command, and together with Ding Yuan, they alone accounted for half of the remaining elites.
With nearly 100,000 elite troops in hand, Yuan Shao naturally regained some confidence and immediately summoned several counselors from the princes to discuss the matter together.
Both Shen Pei and Xu You can be said to be wise men. Looking at the world, there are very few people who can match them. What's more, there is Li Ru, the counselor who assisted Dong Zhuo in becoming a hero. Speaking of it, Yuan Shao and the others gathered together
The strength of the counselors who got up may not be any worse than those of Chu Yi's men.
Strategies were put forward one after another, but at this time everyone knew that no plans or calculations mattered. Conspiracies and tricks could not change the overall situation at all in this situation. In the end, the real competition was the strength of both sides.
Li Ru stroked his beard and glanced at Yuan Shao and said: "The leader of the alliance should fight against the Chu thieves with an upright army. Regardless of victory or defeat, with this battle alone, the leader of the alliance will be famous all over the world and known to the world."
Xu You and the other judges looked at Li Ru deeply. As wise men, they couldn't help but frown after listening to Li Ru's words. They were able to do things that Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan could not think of.
The first thing that comes to mind.
Li Ru's suggestion seemed normal, but Xu You and the others heard another meaning.
As Yuan Shao's best friend, Xu You naturally sent a secret message to Yuan Shao to explain.
"Benchu, what Li Ru said is true. If the whole army is willing to fight to the death in this battle, I can guarantee that you will be famous in the world after this battle, because then, the world will truly fall into chaos.
As the saying goes, if Qin loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away!"
Yuan Shao is not a fool. He didn't realize this before, but with Xu You's reminder, Yuan Shao would be a real fool if he still couldn't react.
Looking at Xu You, Yuan Shao suddenly laughed loudly. He looked at the mighty imperial army coming in the distance and drowning the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses behind, as if he saw the army through the mighty torrent.
Chu Yi among them is the same.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "Then let's take a gamble and see if Chu Yi is really determined. The worst case scenario is that he will spend everything in exchange for severely damaging the imperial court and causing chaos in the world."
With his background as the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, it doesn't matter if he is defeated this time. As long as he can escape, choose a state capital, climb up and wave, there will be a lot of people who will respond.
Don’t you see that at the time of great chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the heaviest troops under his command were Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao didn't mention it anymore, and just said that every battle of Yuan Shu ended in a huge defeat, with countless casualties. However, it wouldn't be long before Yuan Shu would gather more troops again, and he suffered huge defeats again and again, but it seemed that he had never done anything for it.
The soldiers and horses were worried, as if there was a steady supply of soldiers and horses.
Although this is related to Yuan Shu occupying the rich land of the Han Dynasty, it can also be seen that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family have a huge influence in the local area. Otherwise, Yuan Shu would abandon his troops and armor again and again, but he would be able to win again and again.
Resurrecting with full health would be a strange thing if it were not for the influence of the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao's confidence relies on this, so he is not afraid of losing all his men. At worst, he can just recruit them elsewhere.
They were just soldiers and horses. The Han Dynasty was vast and there were many elite soldiers and generals who were willing to sacrifice their lives for his Yuan family.
Although Ding Yuan and Han Fu realized it later, at least they had close scribes who could explain it to them. When they understood, their expressions changed slightly and they looked at Yuan Shao.
It's just that at this time, they have no other choice at all. Apart from fighting to the death, if they follow the same example and run away, not to mention that their reputation will definitely be ruined by then, the key is whether they can escape is still a question.
.
Ding Yuan took a deep breath, looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Alliance leader, please give the order."
Several princes looked at each other and all said to Yuan Shao: "Please give the leader an order."
Yuan Shao nodded slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "In that case, all the soldiers in the army should immediately turn around to greet us and fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
Roars first came from the mouths of the generals around the princes, and soon spread, and then the nearly 100,000 troops also followed suit.
Of course, these soldiers chanted with all their strength to a certain extent to restrain the panic in their hearts, but when everyone shouted together, they seemed to be infected and inspired, and the morale that was almost collapsing actually changed.
Gotta get high.
The imperial soldiers and horses, who were driving the defeated troops toward the fleeing coalition forces, were slightly startled when they heard the deafening shouts.
The generals who took the lead were even more keenly aware of the change in the morale of the coalition forces, especially when they saw that the soldiers who had originally turned their backs to them and fled turned around one by one, assuming a desperate posture.
"What a Yuan Benchu, he has such determination!"
I originally thought that what was about to be staged was a defeat and pursuit battle. One battle would determine the outcome. Ji'er defeated the allied forces and brought a great victory to intimidate the world. Then, in the name of the imperial court, he would frighten the local areas and protect the princes from all over the country. No one dared to do so.
If you jump out, it will take only a few years to eradicate all the forces entrenched in the place. It is not illusory for the Han Dynasty to rise again.
It can be said that as long as Yuan Shao and the others continue to flee, the general trend of the world will be determined. However, from the moment Yuan Shao and other princes decided to fight to the death, the future direction suddenly changed.
Facing a mighty force of nearly a hundred thousand elites, plus that few elite soldiers and generals, even if they are as strong as Chu Yi, it is quite a headache.
Even with the help of the Luck Altar, he was unable to suppress an army of 100,000 people. After all, the existence of military souls and military formations made these soldiers not powerless to resist when facing top powerhouses.
Beings as powerful as the legendary immortals such as the Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty, Nan Hua, Zixu, and Yu Ji, did not dare to jump out and provoke the princes.
Just like Yu Ji, it can be said that there are few rivals in the world, but in the end, Sun Ce used the power of his army to suppress him in Jiangdong.
There was a hint of worry on Chu Yi's face, and Guo Jia, who was next to Chu Yi, also had a solemn look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to get off the tiger at this time. The morale of the army is rising. Apart from fighting to the death,
There is no other way."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Yes, since Yuan Shao is so determined, then Chu will help him. The worst result is nothing more than chaos in the world. Even if it is really chaos, so what, Chu
Just rebuild the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty."
As he spoke, the sadness on Chu Yi's face disappeared, and he looked confident. Seeing Chu Yi's high-spirited look in Guo Jia's eyes, Guo Jia was shaken, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
.
"The prince's lofty ambitions soar into the sky, and Guo Jia is willing to attach his tail and do the hard work for the prince."
Chu Yi laughed loudly, pointed the riding whip in his hand forward and said: "Feng Xiao, look, these great mountains and rivers should be ridden by us!"
While speaking, Chu Yi said to Fang Yue beside him: "Give me the order, don't have any scruples, kill!"
Fang Yue looked extremely excited. At this moment, after hearing Chu Yi's order, it was as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. His blood rushed to his head and he shouted: "Follow the order."
Soon Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and other generals all knew the order issued by Chu Yi. Their morale was so high that they roared and rushed straight towards the waiting coalition forces.
.
On the coalition side, when Yuan Shao ordered the army to turn around and fight against the imperial troops, everyone led by Yuan Shao had actually been watching Chu Yi's reaction.
Because according to the judgment of Xu You, Shen Pei and others, if Chu Yi puts the overall situation first, there is a great possibility that Chu Yi will choose to stop the army.
Of course, this is the best situation. After all, under this situation, it seems difficult for Chu Yi to withdraw his troops, but everything is possible. What if Chu Yi really orders the withdrawal of troops.
Looking at the roaring imperial army, Yuan Shao couldn't help but close his eyes, a bit of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but when he opened his eyes, Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with endless fighting spirit.
"What a Chu Yi. No wonder he has all the power in the world. His ruthlessness alone is unmatched by ordinary people. He is betting on the country."
Yuan Shaoyou's sigh is actually normal. After all, Chu Yi has made it clear that even if he pays a heavy price, even if the imperial court is weakened after this battle, local forces rise, and warlords divide the world, they will still be killed.
Kill here.
Yuan Shao naturally admired Chu Yi's decisiveness and ruthlessness. If he were in Chu Yi's position, he might not have made such an order like Chu Yi.
After all, Chu Yi currently has the support of elite soldiers and generals. Although the majesty of the Han court has been greatly affected by his crusade, the deterrent to local forces is still there. However, once Chu Yi's soldiers and horses are lost in the next battle,
If the situation is serious, the imperial court will lose its power to intimidate local areas, and it is very likely to trigger local unrest.
This clearly means giving up one's own advantages.
Anyway, in Yuan Shao's opinion, he couldn't do what Chu Yi did.
Sighing slightly, Li Ru glanced at Yuan Shao and the others and said, "Alliance leader, gentlemen, please make preparations in advance!"
Obviously Li Ru was not optimistic about the next battle, so Li Ru reminded Yuan Shao and others to prepare a retreat early.
After glancing at Li Ru, Yuan Shao nodded at Ding Yuan and the others. Although everyone said it was unacceptable, they also knew that if the battle situation went unfavorable, they would have to consider how to escape.
