Chapter 996: Dong Zhuo's Counterattack

| | | -> -> "General Shang, do we really not want to participate?"

At night, in Shang Ji's tent, Lu Bu asked with some reluctance.

Shang Ji didn't answer Lu Bu's words, but turned to look at Chen Gong next to him: "What do you think, Mr. Gongtai?"

"If something goes wrong, it's a demon. I think it's still necessary to proceed with caution!" Chen Gong glanced at Lu Bu and said in a low voice.

Over the past few days, the pioneers of the five routes have attacked frantically, and good news has come like snowflakes. At the same time, countless wealth has fallen into the hands of the five princes.

Everyone is envious of the rich harvest. Stimulated by huge wealth, the five-way pioneers are showing signs of losing control.

Originally, according to the plan of the coalition forces, starting from Suanzao, passing through Yuanwu, Yangwu, Juanxian, Wude, and Huaixian along the way, and then approaching Rongyang where Sishui Pass is located, after breaking through Sishui Pass, they broke through Hulao Pass, and finally went straight to Take Luoyang.

The route of the army and the surrounding counties must naturally be conquered, which is understandable, but under the stimulation of wealth, the farthest vanguard has reached Xinzheng and Linli, which is almost three thousand miles away from Sishui Pass!

They also claim to guarantee the safety of the rear, but there are only remnants and defeated generals in twos and threes, so why do you need to encircle and suppress so many people!

It's not that there is a lot of oil and water running to plunder!

This act of disobeying orders and acting without authorization made Yuan Shao's face black with anger. It's a pity that his authority as the leader depends entirely on his face, but face is a fart in front of real gold and silver, and no one pays attention to his military orders. , still go its own way.

This act of blatant disobedience has dealt a considerable blow to the prestige of the coalition forces, and more importantly, the rich harvest of the pioneers has shaken the hearts of the coalition forces.

The princes who stayed behind the main force asked the vanguard princes to share the harvest, or to send more vanguard troops.

The former vanguards are naturally not happy, why should we give you a share of the city we worked so hard to build? Do you think I'm easy to bully?

As for the latter, it is also unrealistic. The nineteen princes already have five pioneers, so what's the point of dividing this alliance? What's more, the area to the east of Sishuiguan has been divided up by the five pioneers, and it is too late for the other princes to end now.

The quarrel between the princes caused Yuan Shao to have one head and two big ones, but he had to bite the bullet and go to mediate.

As I said before, the relationship between the princes is complicated. You are my protégé and I am your best friend. Don’t try to sort it out when the gods come. Only the relationship between Shang Ji and Lu Bu is relatively simple. It can be regarded as an alternative among the princes.

And because the two have collaborated many times before and their relationship is relatively close, the two naturally started to hug each other.

Lu Bu knew all about his personality, and when he saw that Pioneer had gained so much, he naturally became jealous, thinking about taking a share of the pie every day, and even advocated ignoring Yuan Shao and directly dividing his troops to participate in the money grabbing war.

But Chen Gong was quite calm, and firmly stopped Lu Bu from moving, but after a long time, Chen Gong couldn't stop him anymore. Still the same sentence, money touches people's hearts. Apart from Lu Bu, more and more senior generals in Lu Bu's army tend to attack.

Chen Gong had no choice but to discuss with Shang Ji on the pretext of dissuading Lu Bu with Shang Ji's hand.

In fact, there are similar voices in the Shang Ji army, but Shang Ji's prestige in the army is unparalleled. If he does not support the attack, no one in the Shang Ji army can object.

"If you don't participate, what Mr. Gongtai said is right. If something goes wrong, you will be a demon. No matter how stupid Dong Zhuo is,

The million flying bear army and the eight million Xiliang iron cavalry are no longer vegetarians. This is very likely a conspiracy by Dong Zhuo to show his weakness! "

What Shang Ji said was the strength of Dong Zhuo's army half a year ago. Qian Huan was defeated in Luoyang, and Shang Ji's monitoring of Dong Zhuo was completely ineffective. A hard bone. But now this situation of one defeat after another is obviously not in line with Dong Zhuo's army's combat effectiveness, and Shang Ji is extremely suspicious that Dong Zhuo is playing tricks to show the enemy his weakness.

Of course, there is another saying that Dong Zhuo has gone crazy, and his tens of millions of troops have collapsed.

Regarding this kind of rumor, Shang Ji could only hehe.

Can a crazy monarch build Luoyang City like an iron bucket, and make Qianhuan lose contact?

"Report, report to General Shang and General Lu, the lord invites the two generals to go to the commander's tent immediately."

Just when Lu Bu was still unwilling, suddenly a small school came to convey Yuan Shao's order,

"What happened?"

The little colonel bowed his head and said: "I want to report to General Zuo, I don't know, I only know that the lord ordered all the princes to go to the commander's tent as quickly as possible, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Okay, we'll go right away."

After dismissing Xiaoxiao, Shang Ji, Chen Gong, Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, and then nodded tacitly.

Everyone rushed to the handsome tent, and before entering the tent, they heard bursts of crying coming from the handsome tent.

Pushing open the tent door and entering, it turned out that the one who was crying was Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chen County, and he was still holding someone in his arms, no, to be precise, he should be holding a corpse.

Shang Ji was keenly aware that the person in Zhang Miao's arms was dead.

Looking closely, he saw that his chest cavity was sunken, and he was obviously killed by a blunt instrument blow. Looking at the face again, the deceased turned out to be Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling!

By the way, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao are blood brothers, Zhang Miao is the elder brother, Zhang Chao is the younger brother, and they have a good relationship.

Shang Ji looked around again, and found that the atmosphere in the big tent was dull, and the faces of the princes were not very good. Moreover, Shang Ji also saw Bao Xin who was supposed to be fighting abroad, but Bao Xin was covered in blood, and his grief was comparable to that of Zhang Miao who was crying beside him.

Ignoring the grief-stricken Zhang Miao, Shang Ji and Lu Bu came to Yuan Shao's side and asked in a low voice, "Leader, what happened?"

"The former vanguard, General Zhang Chao, was accidentally ambushed by the enemy. General Zhang was killed in battle, and the vanguard army was defeated. General Zhang's personal guards only had time to retrieve General Zhang's body.

Zuo Xianfeng was also ambushed by Dong's army, and the army was defeated. In order to cover General Bao Xin's retreat, Bao Zhong, General Bao Xin's younger brother, unfortunately died in battle, and his body was never found. "

Shang Ji's face darkened, feeling that things were a little out of control, and asked quickly, "What about General Sun Jian, General Gongsun Zan, and General Yuan Yi? How is the situation of the Third Route Army?"

Yuan Shao shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know, we have lost contact with the Third Route Army. The lord of the alliance has sent a large number of horse scouts, but there is no news. I am afraid that we have also encountered an ambush. I just don't know. What's the loss? We've all fallen for Dong Thief's tricks!"

When it came to the end, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth a little bit. You must know that there is still his hard-core younger brother and cousin Yuan Yi in the vanguard army.

"Take this general's order talisman and order General Su Huan to send Feifenghuoqi to scout along the direction of the other three-way vanguard army, and find out the situation of the other three-way army as soon as possible!"

Shang Ji ordered Wang Hu without hesitation.

"Follow the lord's order!"

Wang Hu took the token, turned and left.

For the sake of safety, these spies usually lurk in ordinary soldiers, and it is difficult to get access to high-level secrets, but it is more than enough to convey the movements of the princes to Shang Ji.

However, until Bao Xin and Zhang Chao led the remnant soldiers to join the main forces of the coalition forces, Shang Ji did not receive any news about the attack on the two armies, which is too abnormal!
