Next to Yuan Shao was Yan Liang, who was seriously injured by Xu Rong's design. His injuries were healed under the treatment of military doctors.
Under Yuan Shao, there were seventeen princes led by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan.
After Gongsun Zan, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang never came forward because they were intercepted by Zhao Yun.
"Everyone, now that Hulao is locked up under the control of Xu Rong, with a long-term exemption card, I wonder if the general can do anything about it?"
Yuan Shao glanced at the princes below, his eyes were like torches, and he spoke slowly.
The eighteen princes, with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, consume an astronomical amount of food and grass every day, especially now that they are intercepted outside Hulao Pass. If this continues for a long time, the morale of the princes' soldiers will inevitably decline.
Although Zhao Yun beheaded Na Hua Xiong in front of the formation, the morale of the princes' army, which had been declining, greatly increased.
However, once they continue to be intercepted outside Hulao Pass, it won't take long for the morale of the princes' army to drop to the level of the general.
And even if the morale can be sustained, the daily consumption of food and fodder for the hundreds of thousands of troops is still a problem. It doesn't matter if the time is still short, but once the food and grass are insufficient, the hundreds of thousands of troops may be defeated.
The Jiangdong tiger Sun Wentai is so ferocious, and the Jiangdong soldiers under his command are also one of the strongest.
Even so, because of the lack of food and grass, and because the lone army went deep, he was ambushed by Hua Xiong. Not only was Sun Jian seriously injured by Hua Xiong, but he also lost one of his generals, Zu Mao.
Even if Zu Mao hadn't volunteered to cut off Sun Jian's wife, Sun Jian, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, might have fallen into the hands of Hua Xiong.
On the battlefield, a small problem may cause the entire army to collapse.
When Zhao Feng, who was standing behind Cao Cao, saw this, he flashed his eyes and said in Cao Cao's ear: "My Lord, Tongque just came to report that there is news from Luoyang."
"Because of Hua Xiong's murder, Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui in a rage, and hung the bodies of Yuan Kui's family outside Luoyang City as a warning to others."
As Zhao Feng finished speaking, Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.
"Yuan Shao, he is probably going crazy."
Although Yuan Shao was not a very good character, his uncle Yuan Kui treated Yuan Shao as his own son. Because of Yuan Kui's relationship, Yuan Shao represented the Yuan clan as his eldest son.
Now, Yuan Kui's family has been wiped out, but at this moment he has no choice as to how Yuan Shao feels about Yuan Kui.
After all, once he turns a blind eye, he will leave a reputation of being unkind and unjust, and even those who were loyal to him because of his status may leave.
He will even lose the opportunity to continue to use the Yuan family's connections.
Therefore, once Yuan Shao learns that Yuan Kui's entire family has been wiped out by Yuan Shao, he will definitely launch the most violent attack on Hulao Pass. Even if he loses a huge amount of troops, he must do it!
"A noble family succeeds, and a noble family fails!"
A look of pity flashed through Cao Cao's eyes, and then he said nothing more.
"Retribution, the leader of the alliance, the Yuan family of Luoyang, has received bad retribution!"
Just as it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, not long before Cao Cao's pity eyes disappeared, an allied soldier came to the central army tent and reported.
"Let him in!"
Yuan Shao's originally calm expression suddenly showed an ominous premonition.
It seems that there will be bad news soon.
At the same time, Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao whose expression changed, showing a trace of pity.
"Sir, it's not good, my family was wiped out by Dong Zhuo's thieves!"
I saw a figure covered in blood, suddenly breaking into the Chinese army tent, crying towards Yuan Shao, who was sitting high as the leader of the alliance.
"What!"
"Lord Sikong's family was wiped out by Dong Zhuo?! How dare he? Dong Zhuo, the old thief, is so cruel!"
"No, something big is going to happen. Old thief Dong Zhuo dares to kill Lord Sikong and his family!"
As the voice of the blood-stained figure fell, the princes who were originally frowning because of the incident at Hulao Pass were shocked.
At the same time, some of the princes who had seen clearly looked at Yuan Shao, whose face was ashen, and had a bad premonition.
I saw that Yuan Shao looked in the direction of Luoyang with hatred and cursed angrily as if his father had died.
"Old thief Dong Zhuo, I, Yuan Benchu, will destroy your whole family and avenge my uncle!"
"I, Yuan Benchu, and Dong Zhuo, the old traitor, are incompatible with each other and will fight to the death!"
Shocking murderous intent and anger rang out from Yuan Shao's mouth.
Sudden!
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Yuan Shao's mouth!
Yuan Shao was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.
"Alliance leader!"
"Lord!"
With a burst of panic, this morning meeting ended hastily.
Cao Cao returned to his camp, looked at Zhao Feng with a calm face and said, "Military advisor, what do you think Yuan Shao will do?"
"With this person's character, it is extremely possible that other princes will be used as cannon fodder, and Yuan Shao has also put a lot of effort into this drama today."
"He would not hesitate to bite his own tongue and make himself bleed."
Zhao Feng smiled slightly when he heard this.
Zhao Feng was also quite surprised that Yuan Shao suddenly vomited blood and fainted. He didn't expect that Yuan Shao also knew how to act and used a trick to avoid this disaster.
However, regarding Yuan Kui's matter, sooner or later he needs to come out and make a statement.
"The military advisor also noticed it. I didn't expect that Yuan Benchu would still pretend to be stupid. This is beyond Cao's expectation."
When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded slightly.
But when I put myself in someone else's shoes, I realized that even he couldn't think of a better way.
"It depends on how he ends up tomorrow. In addition, Tongque reports that Lu Bu is almost at Hulao Pass, and the end here is about to end."
On the other side, Yuan Shao also woke up.
"Lord, you're awake."
In Yuan Shao's tent, general Yan Liang and counselor Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao who had woken up and hurried up to ask with concern.
"Well, what's going on with the other princes now?"
Yuan Shao's expression was remarkably calm, not at all due to his anger after learning that Yuan Kui had been exterminated.
As Cao Cao and Zhao Feng said, the reason why Yuan Shao vomited blood and fainted was because he was acting.
He just ignored it, as if what he did was too real, except for Cao Cao, who knew Yuan Shao intimately, and Zhao Feng, who was familiar with history.
No one among the other sixteen princes could see it.
Even the counselors Tian Feng Yanliang and others who have been following Yuan Shao all year round are like this.
I have to say that Yuan Shao's acting skills are still somewhat capable. If this happens in future generations, he might be able to win a statuette.
"Reporting to my lord, the princes have now returned to their respective camps."
Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao calmly, a strange color flashed deep in his eyes.
"Master, why don't you have any anger at this moment? It was obviously because of your anger just now that you were so angry that you vomited blood. Could it be that."
When Tian Feng thought about the illness that the military doctor had just diagnosed with his pulse, he showed a look of doubt. Although Tian Feng didn't know that Yuan Shao was acting, but with his wisdom.
Through some clues, I still found a lot of things that were wrong.
