"My lords, according to Sun Jian's understanding of Liu Zhang, he is definitely not a person who brings disaster to the country and the people, so I think our attention should be focused on Dong Zhuo."
Sun Jian was still speaking for Liu Zhang, which made Yuan Shao very displeased. He quickly looked at Yuan Shu who was standing aside and told him to take care of his subordinates.
Yuan Shu was also puzzled. Sun Jian had just encountered a bad experience, so why didn't he have a better memory?
"Wentai, Liu Zhang uses his words to confuse right and wrong, and he is even more stubborn! At this moment, it is not us who want to do anything with him, it is him who is blocking our way to the west! If Liu Zhang is willing to open Hulao Pass
Of course we won’t embarrass him at the gate of the city!”
Yuan Shu's words won the approval of most people, but it was a pity that Sun Jian did not listen.
"My lords, you have never had close contact with Liu Zhang. He is very clever in using troops. It is difficult for others to win with less than many, but for him it is like picking something out of a bag! Sir, think about it, Zhang Jiao's
The Yellow Turban Army and Bian Zhang’s Xiliang Army, which one was not several times stronger than Liu Zhang’s, and which one was not beaten by him and fled in panic?”
Sun Jian's original intention was not to speak for Liu Zhang. He was also committed to getting rid of the traitor Dong Zhuo for the country. He just felt that it was too unwise to fight Liu Zhang at Hulao Pass.
"Sun Jian, what do you mean? Where are you from?"
Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, was the first to jump out and refute Sun Jian. Liu Zhang had a deep hatred for the Yuan family. How could Yuan Yi let go of this opportunity so easily?
"Prefect Yuan, do you still need to tell me which side I, Sun Jian, am from? Don't you know that I have killed more than 10,000 Liangzhou soldiers?"
What Sun Jian hated most was people like Yuan Yi, who obviously confused national hatred and family hatred.
"you..."
Yuan Yi was speechless after being retorted by Sun Jian, and could only stare angrily. However, Sun Jian's words also aroused great dissatisfaction in Yuan Shu, as if he was talking about his lack of food and grass.
"Ahem, brother, Wentai, please stop arguing, so as not to make Liu Zhang laugh!"
But Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't expect that at this time, Liu Zhang's voice would be among the coalition fighting against Dong! How could he endure this?
"General Sun, according to your wishes, we don't need to fight. It seems that these 150,000 troops are not enough for Liu Zhang to deal with, right?"
Sun Jian couldn't help but clenched his fists. The Yuan brothers were indeed the same, they were all selfish!
"Leader, Sun Jian doesn't mean this. What I mean is that Hulao Pass is not the only way to enter Luoyang. Why should we take the risk and confront Liu Zhang head-on? If we attack Luoyang from other places and kill the Dong thief
, Liu Zhang will surely surrender, so why not?"
Having said this, all the prefects present here understood that Sun Jian meant to bypass Liu Zhang. After Dong Zhuo was destroyed, Liu Zhang would naturally be unable to survive alone.
Many people nodded slightly, thinking that Sun Jian's proposal was very good. Liu Zhang had a good reputation and was indeed difficult to deal with!
It's a pity that neither Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, nor Yuan Yi are willing to bypass Liu Zhang, especially Yuan Shao, who came here with his army just to defeat Liu Zhang!
"Brother Wentai's words make sense. I have already had this intention and am about to offer advice to Alliance Leader Yuan!"
Everyone quickly looked around and saw that it was the person behind Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Zhang Xiang was dark and short in stature, which made people dislike him at first glance.
"It turns out to be Meng De. I wonder what Meng De's wisdom is?"
Seeing his friend Cao Cao speaking, Yuan Shao suppressed his dissatisfaction.
Cao Cao walked out from behind Zhang Miao, bowed his hands and saluted everyone in the tent.
"My lords, what General Sun Wentai said is not unreasonable. Liu Zhang is not only powerful in military capability, but he also occupies natural dangers. If you want to defeat Liu Zhang, you must attack Hulao Pass! Hulao Pass, you have also seen how many such passes are needed.
The soldier's life can be used to defeat it? I don't know if you adults know clearly, but Cao doesn't dare to think about it!"
"What do you think Mengde has to say? You might as well say so!"
Yuan Shao had heard enough of such words that boosted others' morale and destroyed his own prestige, and his tone became irritable.
Cao Cao laughed twice and didn't care about Yuan Shao's attitude. Instead, he walked forward and pointed at the map.
"Everyone, please look, this is Hulao Pass..."
"Report! Report...report!"
Just as Cao Cao was about to speak, he heard soldiers rushing into the tent, looking extremely flustered.
"Why are you panicking? Speak slowly!"
Yuan Shao happened to have some anger in his chest, and now he vented it on Xiao Bing.
The military situation was urgent, and the soldiers did not care about Yuan Shao's mood and quickly reported to everyone in the tent.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, Liu Zhang challenged Alliance Leader Yuan by name outside the camp..."
"What do you want from me?"
When the soldier paused, Yuan Shao knew that there was nothing good to say, but he still couldn't help but ask.
"I don't dare to say..."
"Say! If you don't tell me, I'll kill you immediately!"
The soldier was so frightened that he secretly complained that this kind of work was really not done by humans!
"Liu Zhang said that the son of the concubine of the Yuan family should go out to receive death..."
Yuan Shao's face turned livid, his concubine's son was his taboo! Except for Yuan Shu, anyone who said this would not have a good ending!
"Hahaha..."
At this moment, someone actually laughed. Everyone's eyes were focused on the source of the laughter, and Yuan Shao's eyes were on fire.
It turned out to be Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao was even trembling with anger!
Yuan Shu really didn't mean it, it was just that Liu Zhang's words were exactly what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That...ahem..."
Yuan Shu was extremely embarrassed and could only cough to cover up.
"Okay! Generals, follow me quickly to meet the enemy. I want to see what this damn thing is capable of!"
Yuan Shao couldn't stay in the tent any longer. Yuan Shu's smile had completely embarrassed him!
Liu Zhang had already come to the door, and the generals and governors did not dare to look down upon him anymore. They quickly got up and followed Yuan Shao out of the camp to resist the enemy.
But when they looked outside, these prefect generals were shocked and called Liu Zhang too arrogant!
Liu Zhang only brought more than a thousand people! A thousand people dared to challenge more than 100,000 people. He really didn't take Yuan Shao seriously!
"Liu Zhang, you are really arrogant! You dare to challenge the 200,000 troops behind me with a thousand men! I think you are tired of living!"
Yuan Shao was already very angry, and now he was even more furious when he saw Liu Zhang leading a thousand men to challenge him.
Liu Zhang raised an eyebrow, did this sentence seem familiar?
"Haha, Yuan Benchu, do you know that this general will fight on the battlefield for the first time?"
"Who do you think you are? What's the point of knowing your first time?"
Yuan Shao hated Liu Zhang's self-confidence the most, and secretly vowed to crush his self-confidence!
"General Wei said, could it be that it was the time when a thousand people defeated the wave of more than 100,000 people, and the time when he personally beheaded the wave?"
One person in Yuan Shao's formation stepped forward slightly and answered Liu Zhang's question loudly.
"It turns out to be Brother Meng De! Long time no see!"
