A flash of light suddenly flashed in Xu Rong's eyes, as if he thought of something.
"How many days are there for the Bingzhou cavalry led by General Lu Bu to travel from Hulao Pass?"
Xu Rong asked a deputy general.
"General Qi, General Lu Bu is still three days away from Hulao Pass!"
A deputy general heard Xu Rong's inquiry and hurriedly said to Xu Rong.
"Three days? Exactly, three days to prepare that plan!"
When Xu Rong heard this, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Three days? Plan?"
After reporting Lu Bu's itinerary, the deputy general of the Xiliang Army had a strange light in his eyes.
"We must be prepared for the enemy's siege in the past three days, and there must be no carelessness. Otherwise, when the time comes, the Prime Minister will blame you, and you will not be able to escape the blame!"
After Xu Rong made some calculations in his mind, he said to several generals responsible for guarding Hulao Pass.
"promise!"
"General, don't worry, as long as we are here, there is no way those thieves can break through Hulao Pass!"
Several Xiliang army generals said respectfully to Xu Rong.
Due to Xu Rong's outstanding command, the generals in Hulao Pass were very convinced of Xu Rong's orders. When they heard Xu Rong's words, they all responded one after another.
"Um."
Seeing this, Xu Rong nodded slightly, then glanced at the princes' camp in the night, and said with a ferocious smile: "In three days, there will be an opportunity!"
The deputy general who reported Lu Bu's itinerary to Xu Rong said to a Xiliang Army general: "Old Li, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I need to go and make myself comfortable."
"Old Ding, you go ahead, go back quickly, it will be bad if you get general."
The Xiliang Army general known as Lao Li did not doubt that he was there, and even kindly reminded him.
"good."
You, General Lao Ding, nodded slightly and then left quickly.
"This old man is really lazy and pees a lot, and he is not afraid of being discovered by the general."
Another general of the Xiliang Army looked at the direction in which Lao Ding was leaving and complained.
"Okay, it's just for convenience, nothing more."
General Lao Li frowned when he saw this.
Seeing this, the general of the Xiliang Army muttered something and stopped talking.
Not long after, Lao Ding came back, as if nothing had happened, but without anyone knowing, under the cover of night.
A homing pigeon flew silently towards the camp under the cover of night.
In the camps of the princes, in the tents of the Chinese army.
"Yan Liang, what are the losses in this battle?"
Yuan Shao's face was livid, he looked at Yan Liang who looked down below and said coldly.
"Replying to my lord, the general is incompetent!"
"This time, more than 20,000 soldiers died in the battle!"
Yan Liang's face was not very good, and he said to Yuan Shao in a guilty voice.
"Twenty thousand!"
Hearing this, Yuan Shao's face changed. He felt his chest heat up and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Lord!"
Seeing this, Yan Liang and Tian Feng hurriedly came up to help Yuan Shao up.
"Damn Yuan Gongli, he actually caused me to lose 20,000 troops!"
It's no wonder that Yuan Shao is so angry. You must know that even though he was born in the Fourth Generation and the Third Duke, and his family has a great business, the total number of soldiers and horses he brought this time was said to be an army of one hundred thousand.
But the real strength was only 80,000. Now, in one war, 20,000 troops were lost, equivalent to a quarter of the total strength. How could this not make him angry?
And the most important thing is that the person who deceived him was his half-brother Yuan Shu, who was also the fourth generation and the third prince. How could this make Yuan Shao swallow his breath!
"My lord, there is probably an expert behind Yuan Shu!"
As Yan Liang's voice fell, Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly turned aside and focused on Yan Liang.
"Is there someone behind Yuan Shu? So that's the case, no wonder!"
"I just said that with Yuan Jiujiu's ability, when did he become so powerful? It turns out there is someone behind him."
Yuan Shao showed an expression of sudden realization and Nan Nan said.
But at this moment, Tian Feng showed a hint of enlightenment.
"My lord, I'm afraid General Yan Liang is not just saying that there is someone behind Yuan Shu."
As Tian Feng's voice fell, Yan Liang nodded and said: "My lord, Military Advisor Tian Feng is right. The general guesses that there is someone behind the scenes that we can't see, and it is very likely that someone is secretly stirring up trouble!"
"And Yuan Shu just became a pawn used by some people to frame the lord."
Yan Liang shuddered when he thought of the unusual events happening today.
Just a simple murder with a borrowed sword caused Yuan Shao to lose a quarter of his troops. How powerful is the mastermind behind Yuan Shu!
This person even knew Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu very well, and could even be said to know everything about them.
From the simple methods of killing people with borrowed swords and provoking generals, it can be seen that this person has completely understood the characters of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
This perfectly staged a good show of brothers killing each other and killing people with borrowed knives.
If Yuan Shao could become the future successor of the Yuan clan, he was certainly not a fool. He had only been blinded by anger before, but now he suddenly understood after hearing Tian Feng and Yan Liang's explanations.
"So, Yuan Shu is just a chess piece this time, and the real enemy is still hidden behind it?"
Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and terrifying. After a long time of fighting, in the end, he and Yuan Shu became other people's pawns?
How could the always aloof Yuan Shao accept this?
"My lord's top priority now is to find out the person behind the scenes, otherwise the person behind the scenes will definitely continue to take action against the lord!"
"The easiest way now is to have a showdown with Yuan Shu!"
Tian Feng did not see Yuan Shao's gloomier face at all after he finished speaking.
"Commander Tian Feng, my lord still knows something about this."
Guo Tu, the counselor who had been observing his words and expressions, noticed the change in Yuan Shao's expression and stood up and said.
After Na Guo Tu finished speaking, Yuan Shao's expression became a little better. Although Tian Feng told me the solution, are you going to teach me how to do things again?
In this regard, Yuan Shao, who had always been aloof and aloof, naturally looked very unhappy due to the reason he had just been plotted. And the words of Guo Tu, who took the initiative to stand up, were naturally very useful to him.
"Commander Tian Feng, this alliance leader knows what to do!"
Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng coldly, and then his eyes flickered slightly.
"Are we really going to have a showdown with that guy Yuan Gulu? He just cheated me."
Yuan Shao had several thoughts in his mind, but finally decided to follow Tian Feng's suggestion and go to Yuan Shu for a showdown.
After all, since the person behind the scenes was able to plot against him once, there is no guarantee that there will be a second time.
And just as Tian Feng thought, Yuan Shao also discovered something was wrong, that is, the person behind the scenes was keeping him and Yuan Shu under control.
Once it happens again, you don’t know what the loss will be.
After all, he had already lost a quarter of his troops this time. Even if he had a great career at home, it was still a bit painful.
Or even, what if the person behind the scenes has murderous intentions and directly assassinates him?
"Yan Liang, send someone to tell Yuan Shu that the leader of the alliance has important matters to discuss with him."
Yuan Shao said to Yan Liang below.
"promise!"
Yan Liang nodded slightly, and then left the Zhongjun tent, leaving Yuan Shao with his eyes twinkling.
