The compensation for Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian has come to an end for the time being. In the coalition camp, everyone was supposed to discuss when to attack Hulao Pass, but just when the alliance leader Yuan Shu proposed, an unexpected voice interrupted Yuan Shu's words!
"Yuan Gongli, that Bull Demon King killed so many soldiers, what do you want to do with him? As far as I can see, he can be escorted outside the camp and beheaded at noon tomorrow!"
The resentful Gongsun Shu stood up from his seat with a stern look on his face. His eyes were bright and he stared directly at the alliance leader Yuan Shu who was sitting in the upper position in the tent. He had the momentum not to give up until the Bull Demon King was executed.
All the princes present looked at each other in shock when they saw this. They couldn't decide to pay attention for a while. After all, the Bull Demon King was captured alive by Jia Fu, a fierce general under Yuan Shu's command, at great cost. It was not their turn to tell him how to deal with the Bull Demon King.
Alliance leader Yuan Shu lowered his eyelids, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing, as if he had heard a big joke. He looked at Gongsun Shu with a slightly mocking look, and replied loudly: "General Gongsun, that guy from the Bull Demon King
He was captured alive by General Jia Fu. As for how to deal with him, I have other ideas, but no matter what, it's not your turn to dictate here!"
Then Yuan Ci continued in a slightly gentle tone: "The death of General Gongsun Zan is another big loss for our alliance. As the leader of the alliance, I feel more sad than everyone here, including you, General Gongsun Shu. But one code equals the other."
Ma, if we execute the Bull Demon King now, what will Han Shui and Wu Wenhua in Hulao Pass think after learning the news? What will Dong Thief in Luoyang think? Then Nangong Changwan who guards Jiguan,
And what would Shi Siming, who was guarding Taigu Pass, think? Everyone here, think about it, who can bear the full fury of Thief Dong?"
All the princes present were silent, except for Gongsun Shu, who was standing on his seat with a look of disdain on his face. He responded: "Isn't our coalition's trip here just to challenge Dong? Yuan Jiujiu, if you insist on protecting that
Bull Demon King, then I will not accompany you. Either execute the Bull Demon King and our coalition forces attack Hulao Pass together, or you can keep the Bull Demon King and I will lead the army to withdraw from the alliance and return to Youzhou!"
As soon as Gongsun Shu said these words, it was like throwing a pebble into the calm lake. Such heavy words made the princes present stunned. How could withdrawing from the alliance be a child's play? He opened his mouth and kept using the withdrawal from the alliance as a threat.
Then how can Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, continue to be the leader? Isn't this a slap in the face of Yuan Shu and the two deputy leaders in front of everyone?
In the coalition tent, the deputy leaders Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had angry eyes. They lowered their heads and remained silent for the time being. They turned their attention to Yuan Shu, silently waiting for Yuan Shu to speak. In addition, Yang Jian and Sun Jian had just received the news.
Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian who was helped by Yuan Shu also looked bad, and they all looked at Gongsun Shu angrily!
"Gongsun Shu, are you threatening me? Do you know what it means to withdraw from the alliance?"
Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with a vicious and demonic light. He asked Gongsun Shu meaningfully, and then before Gongsun Shu could speak, he said first: "Yu Gong, it is a just act for all the princes to unite to attack Dong Zhuo.
, if you voluntarily choose to withdraw from the alliance, you will be disobedient; privately, your brother Gongsun Zan had great ambitions during his lifetime to support the Han Dynasty and welcome back the emperor. If you do not fulfill his last wish, you will be unfilial; you must think clearly,
Do you really want to be a disobedient and unfilial person? If this spreads out, I am afraid it will make you lose face!"
Just when Yuan Shu finished speaking all these words, Gongsun Shu's face instantly turned livid, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he stared at Yuan Shu with wide eyes. Yuan Shu snorted coldly when he saw this, and continued to tell him: "Gongsun Shu
General, if you really want to withdraw from the alliance, it is not impossible. You can keep all the baggage, war horses, food, grass, and armor for the use of other troops, and you can just go back!"
It has to be said that Yuan Shu's plan was loud and clear. Gongsun Shu was immediately furious after hearing this. He wanted him to keep all the strategic materials? No way, don't even think about it! And just when Gongsun Shu was about to angrily rebuke Yuan Shu, his generals
Guan Jing hurriedly broke into the big tent and handed him a piece of information stained with scarlet blood.
The intelligence said bluntly: Recently, the Tuoba clan in the north has heavily stationed its troops at the border of Youzhou. After Tuoba Gui learned about the death of Gongsun Zan, he immediately dispatched 50,000 cavalry under his command and divided his army into three groups to invade Youzhou southward.
Among them, the commander of the left army was the famous Emperor Yuan Shanjian of the Eastern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history. He was responsible for leading a light cavalry of 20,000 people, starting from the west of Youzhou, and preparing to launch an attack on Baitan Pass under Liu Yu's rule.
attack.
The army in the middle was Tuoba Tao, a famous commander in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the third emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He led 10,000 longbow light cavalry and marched from the south towards Daijun, trying to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry and use the blitzkrieg to defeat them.
In this way, he quickly occupied Daijun, Gongsun Zan's base camp, and then used this place as the center to cooperate with the east and west fronts.
In addition to the above two armies, the right army was led by Tuoba Gui, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He led 20,000 cavalry and went south to Shanggu County to attack Lulongsai, which was guarded by Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Fan.
Once Lulongsai falls, his large cavalry force can occupy western Liaoning, Youbeiping, Lelang, Xuantu and other tributary states in Liaodong unimpeded, thus achieving his goal of occupying the entire Youzhou!
After Gongsun Shu quickly read the battle report in his hand at the speed of one glance and ten lines, his face was gloomy, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his eyes were so angry that they seemed to burst out flames. This Tuoba Gui did not go south earlier, and he did not go south later, but he died holding Gongsun Zan in his arms.
, Gongsun Shu had just taken over his brother's power and went south when people's hearts were still unstable.
If he does not lead his troops back to the defense in time, that Daijun and Lulong Village will inevitably fall, and the entire Youzhou defensive barrier will disappear in the face of the alien cavalry, and even dozens of millions of people will be displaced and become aliens.
Livestock in captivity!
"Damn Tuoba Gui, it's all in vain that my brother was so kind to them when he was alive and even opened up trade..."
Just when Gongsun Shu was furious, the leader of the alliance Yuan Shu slowly stood up from his seat, and then announced to all the princes present that today's discussion is over for the time being, and he hopes that all princes will return to camp to rest early, and instructs all the good soldiers in the army.
Soldiers, be well prepared and ready for battle!
In the big tent, all the princes dispersed in a hurry. Only Gongsun Shu was still drinking alone in the big tent. Yuan Shu naturally knew what he was thinking, but he saw Yuan Shu with a smile on his face and approached him and said: "Gongsun Shu
General, but the situation in Youzhou has changed? Now that Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu has fallen, and the acting governor Gongsun Zan has died, the burden of fighting against the aliens falls on you, general. If you don't rush back in time to support, I'm afraid the aliens will succeed.
!”
Having said this, Yuan Shu smiled sinisterly, and he immediately told Gongsun Shu that he could provide strategic materials to Gongsun Shu at a low cost to fight against the alien invasion, but the price would be that he would need to use the gun prodigy Tong Yuan's disciples, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, in exchange.
"Ziyang, what do you think? Why not trade the strategic materials you need most at the moment for a young general you don't like very much?"
Yuan Shu's explanation for why he chose to exchange materials for Zhao Yun was that Zhao Yun was a disciple of Tong Yuan, and the Xiliang general Zhang Xiu was also a disciple of Tong Yuan. If Zhao Yun came forward to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Xiu might be able to do so because of his friendship with his fellow disciples.
