Chapter 574 The Bull Demon King surrenders, and the coalition of princes disbands!
Seeing that the Bull Demon King was a little moved, Yuan Shu hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued to tell him about the current situation of the foreign races abroad. For example, there was an island to the east of Xuzhou, which was shaped like an insect and was called Wadao!
The Japanese were short and ugly, ignorant of ethics, often intermarried, had despicable blood, strict hierarchy in the clan, and lacked resources on the island. They often coveted the vast territory of the Han Dynasty, and had huge ambitions. They should be killed and exterminated.
For another example, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions to the west. There are countless people with blond hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as goose feathers. There are also powerful countries such as Rome, Kushan, and Parthian. The big and small countries are conquering each other. They have a large population and rich resources, which is extremely suitable for the Han Dynasty to open up frontiers.
earth……
After listening to what Yuan Shu said, the Bull Demon King couldn't help but became furious at what the Japanese slaves had done. How dare a small country covet the wealthy territory of the Han Dynasty?
"The Japanese slaves are still determined to destroy our clan. I will destroy their clan and cut off their seeds to avoid future troubles!"
Listening to what Yuan Shu said, a fire seemed to be ignited in the Bull Demon King's heart. His face turned rosy, his eyes widened with excitement, and then he said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"The Bull Demon King is not talented, but he is willing to follow Yuan Shijun to fight on the battlefield, expand the territory, pacify the foreign races, leave a name in history, and make immortal contributions!"
Seeing that the Bull Demon King was willing to voluntarily surrender, Yuan Shu's deep eyes burst into excitement. He beamed with joy and hurriedly lifted up the Bull Demon King who was kneeling on one knee, then brushed off the dust on his knees and laughed loudly:
"I, Yuan Jiu, can enlist the help of General Niu and defeat a hundred thousand soldiers!"
Adhering to the principle of not trusting those who are suspicious and trusting those who are employing, after Yuan Shu accepted the submission of the Bull Demon King, he immediately summoned several close generals and signaled them to take the Bull Demon King to reunite with his family.
After sending away the Bull Demon King, Su Bai returned to the coalition tent!
At this time, the princes from all walks of life gathered in the tent. The princes headed by Tao Qian and Liu Biao gave up the idea of disbanding. As a result, they were scolded by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yang Jian and other princes.
When the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu, entered the tent, Liu Biao and Tao Qian seemed to have a backbone. They hurriedly came forward to propose a toast, and then politely expressed their intention to lead the army to withdraw from the alliance!
"Quit the alliance? Currently, Dong's thieves are coercing the emperor to retreat to Chang'an. You don't want to serve the country as a savior, but you want to retreat before the battle. What are your intentions?"
Yuan Shu yelled angrily in the tent. Liu Biao and Tao Qian were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to say a word. They raised their heads and looked around fearfully, hoping that other princes could come to help relieve the siege. The result was not expected. The princes present
Everyone's eyes were wide open, glaring at them both!
"In recognition of your meritorious service in leading the army to attack the Dong thieves, today's withdrawal from the alliance will be revealed. If we mention it again next time, I won't blame my alliance leader for being rude."
After reprimanding Liu Biao and Tao Qian, Yuan Shu stared at the people present with his piercing tiger eyes, and then said loudly: "The Dong thief coerced Your Majesty to retreat to Chang'an. The next goal of our coalition is to attack Tongguan. I don't know if you are here
Which of our generals is willing to serve as the vanguard and go to Tongguan first to test the enemy's strength?"
As soon as Yuan Shu said these words, the princes present fell silent. You look at me, I look at you, but no one is willing to be this pioneer!
Seeing that no one here dared to take up the post of Pioneer Officer, Yuan Shu's face was a little ugly. He snorted with contempt in his eyes, and then said loudly: "Since no one here dares to take up the post of Pioneer Officer, then my generals will do it."
when!"
Yuan Shu immediately sent someone to summon the generals and asked him to serve as the vanguard officer in the attack on Tongguan. He then assigned Yuwen Chengdu, Jiang Song, Tian Yunpeng and Luo Shixin to him as adjutants. In addition, he also dispatched the most elite among the allied forces.
Give him a mixed force.
"The main purpose of going to Tongguan this time is to find out the enemy's strength in the pass. Don't act recklessly!"
The general took the tiger talisman in full public view, looked around with cold eyes, and then exited the tent with his head held high.
After the generals withdrew from the tent, not long after, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhao Kuangyin, the four princes, proposed to lead the army in pursuit before the Xiliang army had completely entered Chang'an. They would definitely gain something!
Listening to what Yuan Shao and the others said, Yuan Shu secretly laughed in his heart. The Dong thieves sent a large number of powerful troops to break up the rear. If they went forward to pursue them at this time, they would undoubtedly be seeking death.
"Don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. It would be better for you generals not to pursue them!"
Yuan Shu made a kind suggestion, but was met with a cold look by Yuan Shao. He looked at Yuan Shao as a guy who didn't know what to do, Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei looked excited again. Yuan Shu simply stopped speaking and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the meeting!
Yuan Shao had a private meeting with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhao Kuangyin, and the four of them hit it off immediately and immediately led their own army to pursue the Xiliang army.
I thought I would gain something, but I didn't expect that the Dong thief actually sent Han Sheng, Wu Wenhua, Wang Feng... to the rear of the army to be responsible for breaking up the rear.
This is great. The four armies led by Yuan Shao and others were like throwing an egg against a stone. When they were ambushed by Han Shui and others, they were in chaos. If it weren't for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lu Bu, Zhang Kui, Zhang Dingbian, Wang Yanzhang and others,
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Zhao Kuangyin were afraid that they would die here if they fought desperately to save them.
After paying an extremely painful price, Yuan Shao and the others led a handful of troops and fled back to the coalition forces in despair!
Due to the impulsive actions of the four princes, the four armies were no longer able to continue fighting. The coalition forces suffered serious losses, and panic pervaded the coalition forces for a while.
Liu Biao and Tao Qian had long wanted to quit. Now that the troops of the princes such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Zhao Kuangyin were severely damaged, they could no longer stay in the coalition. For a time, the princes all had the idea of withdrawing from the alliance and disbanding.
idea.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu is naturally very clear about what these princes are thinking. It is only a matter of time before they break up. However, everyone still needs the strength to weaken the Dong thief. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Yuan Shu and his family to compete with Dong.
The thieves compete with each other!
"It's not impossible for these guys to leave if they want, but the supplies, horses, and generals must stay behind to help. After Wang Yun uses a beauty trick to capture Dong Zhuo, it won't be too late to break Chang'an."
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to Yuan Shu's mind. He immediately sent his men to lobby the three forces of Yang Jian, Han Fu, and Ma Teng to win them over first, and then sent people to threaten the timid and weak Liu Biao and Tao Qian.
Possibly gain their support at the upcoming meeting.
After everything was done, Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ce to summon all the princes to the big tent for a meeting!
"Since you are all anxious to break up, don't blame me for holding the emperor hostage to order the princes in the future!"
