After chatting with Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei for a while, Ma Chao then left.

After seeing off Ma Chao, Gongsun Zan asked Liu Bei: "Xuande, how do you see Meng Qi?"

Liu Bei smiled faintly, "I heard that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are young heroes for a long time. When I saw it today, I really have a reputation!"

In Liu Bei's opinion, Ma Chao really deserves the four words "young hero". He thinks he has some vision, and Ma Chao is definitely a talented person. He actually has something to say, that is, the late emperor commented on Ma Mengqi as "Meng Qi is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, but not the name of his ancestors." This is a good statement at all.

Another point is that most people don’t pay much attention to it when they see themselves. They say that they have met Dong Zhuo, who has encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban rebels in Youzhou, and they helped Dong Zhuo once. But in the end, because he was white, he was looked down upon by Dong Zhuo. He just sent him away after giving him some money.

As for the others, take this princes' alliance as an example. Among the various princes, except for Cao Cao and Mengde, no one else had seen him directly, and he looked down on him at all. Especially Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway in the Yuan family, this is even more so. But Ma Chao is different from others, and this is the biggest difference.

So the impression Ma Chao left on Liu Bei was that he had no difference between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, and Liu Bei felt that he was valued very well, and then his impression of Ma Chao was naturally better. Of course, he didn't think Ma Chao would know the deepest thoughts in his heart, but he just thought that Ma Chao could be a human being. Although he was young, he knew how to interact with others, which made people feel comfortable.

Of course, Ma Chao would not know that Liu Bei had a high evaluation of him, and if he had to know, he would probably be very happy. After all, Liu Bei's vision is still very accurate. Although he is different from Jia Xu, his eyesight is also very good.

Ma Chao did not go back to his place directly, but went to find Jia Xu. When Jia Xu saw that it was his lord, he hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with the lord coming to find Xu?"

Ma Chaoxin said, Jia Xu, you old fox, if you don’t come to find you, would you still come to me? If you don’t ask about you, you will not be much different from a mute, so of course you have to come to you if you have something to do, and then you can say it, right?

"It's just passing by, but I asked Mr. I wonder if my husband thinks our army can destroy Dong Zhongying?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, but he did not directly answer Ma Chao's question, but looked at the direction of Yuan Shao's central army tent in the distance and said, "'Brothers are united, and they will cut off gold'!"

Although Jia Xu did not answer positively, Ma Chao understood that Jia Xu's meaning was very simple. If the eighteen princes could unite, even if Dong Zhuo could not be destroyed, Dong Zhuo would not be able to jump. Dong Zhuo's troops were 400,000, and although the coalition of princes could not match his troops, they still had more than 300,000, but they might all be united and use all their strength?

"Sir, I wonder when we can get into this Sishui Pass now?"

Although Sun Jian failed in the first battle, Yuan Shao asked him to make up for his achievements and did not replace him with this vanguard. In fact, if Ma Chao meant that he was the leader of the alliance, he would directly lead the army to the Sishui Pass and then fight to the death with Dong Zhuo's army. Could it be that he could not win the Sishui Pass? But Yuan Shao, and even many people, did not have this idea, so they wanted Sun Jian to fight against Hua Xiong and the others alone.

Jia Xu looked at the direction of Sishui Pass again. Although he couldn't see it, the direction was correct. He said to Ma Chao: "Whether Zhao Cen or Hua Xiong are not unexpected, they are not Sun Wentai's opponents! At least one or two days, or as many as ten days!"

Ma Chao thoughtfully said, what is the difference between saying this and not saying it? He can also say this, Jia Xu, the old fox. In fact, Ma Chao misunderstood Jia Xu. After all, who knows what changes will happen in this matter, so it is actually possible for many days, and there is no accurate time.

This time, Ma Chao didn't want to say much, so he went back to his own tent and ignored Jia Xu. Jia Xu looked at the back of his lord and shook his head and smiled.

On the second day, Sun Jian had no movement at all, and this day just passed.

On the third day, Sun Jian still had no movement at all, and this day passed again.

On the fourth day, Sun Jian still had no movement, and this day did not pass like this, because there were rumors that Sun Wentai, the "Jiangdong Tiger", was completely scared by Hua Xiong of Guanxi. Of course, I don't know who said this was spread, but it was widely spread among the coalition forces of the princes. In the end, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, couldn't sit still. Although he could not find out where the rumors came from, he was the leader of the coalition forces after all. Now, in front of all the princes, he would always be able to raise the tent and ask him.

So Yuan Shao summoned everyone, of course Sun Jian also arrived. Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, asked someone to come to him by name. After everyone arrived at the central army tent, Yuan Shao said to everyone: "Everyone has heard the rumors. Now I'm summoning everyone here. Shao just wants to ask Wentai what you think. Although Shao does not believe in the rumors in the army, he has to say that this matter has affected the morale of our army now, so Shao has to ask this!"

Sun Jian was cursing in his heart, where did this rumor come from? Hua Xiong? It is impossible. Although the place where the princes were stationed was considered to be the scope of the Sishui Pass, the distance was not close. Besides, does Hua Xiong have the ability? If it is not the enemy, it can only be his own people. When Sun Jian thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Now it is a great enemy. It was supposed to be a time for everyone to unite and to face the outside world, but he didn't expect it to be like this. And he has never offended anyone, but why don't some people want to be good to him?

"A person is harmless, and a tiger is hurtful." Don't let yourself catch the rumor-mongering person, you will never forgive him! But now it's like this. Sun Jian saw that Yuan Shao, who is the leader of the alliance, asks him in this way, so he will not say anything and cannot explain it to everyone. Besides, he said that he was rude in the first battle, and the leader did not blame him, but instead asked him to make up for his merits. He would give face to the leader no matter how he said this.

Sun Jian took the lead and said to everyone: "Leader, everyone, I understand my Sun's character. How could he be afraid of him because of a failure? Two days ago, the reason why Sun did not go to fight was just because his subordinates gave me an idea, and I thought it was not bad, so I adopted it, but I didn't tell you!"

"Just say that Sun Wentai is a 'Jiangdong Tiger', how could he be afraid of him, Hua Xiong, Kansai!"

"Not bad, not bad! Wentai is brave and fierce, how could he be comparable to Huaxiong?"

"Of course, 'How can the pearl of rice grains compete with the bright moon', hahaha, it's ridiculous!"

...

Seeing this, Yuan Shao stretched out his right hand and pressed it slightly, indicating that everyone would stop. After seeing that everyone was quiet, he asked, "I wonder what the subordinates of the Wentai have come up with. Can you tell me?"

Sun Jian naturally would not hide anything at this time, "Of course, it was not too late to say it before. Now that the leader of the alliance has asked this, he naturally has to say it. In fact, it is simple to say it, just..."

Sun Jian told everyone what Cheng Pu said to him. As a result, when everyone heard that it was pretty good, at least it should be enough to deal with just Hua Xiong.

Yuan Shao smiled and patted the case lightly: "Okay, since the Wentank has such an idea, I believe he will succeed at that time!"

"Haha, thank you, leader, please rest assured everyone!"

If you say that others are basically very happy, there is one exception, that is Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway.

In fact, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had no holidays, and they had no hatred. However, in the past few days, Yuan Shu was holding his breath because of the leader of the Yuan Shao, and there was no place to send him a chance. As a result, Sun Jian was in trouble. Because he failed in the first battle, he was not punished by Yuan Shao. In the end, Yuan Shao comforted Sun Jian a few words and asked him to make up for his merits.

From then on, Yuan Shu began to dislike Sun Jian. Because in his opinion, the vassal coalition consumed countless food and grass every day. Although it was not taken out of his Nanyang County, he now the governor's food and grass. He was worried about the fact that so much food and grass disappeared from his hands every day. Of course, Yuan Shu was not a saving man, but he had long regarded the food and grass transported by Han Fu and Kong Yi as his own, so seeing his food and grass consumed a lot of food and grass every day, Yuan Shu was of course bleeding in his heart.

As a result, Sun Jian actually avoided the battle. This was a waste of food and grass, and it was a major event that delayed the entire army. So Yuan Shu got angry at that time. Then he sent his confidant to pretend and spread rumors throughout the army. His meaning was to ask Sun Jian to send troops quickly, or let Yuan Shao change his vanguard. This was Yuan Shu's meaning, but he didn't expect that in the end, everyone was still on his side of Sun Jian, and they all listened to him. Yuan Shu knew that nothing he said was useless, so he was so angry that he returned to his tent.

After returning to the tent, Yuan Shu kicked whatever he saw, picked up what he saw, threw it away, and muttered something. At this time, someone came from behind him and said to him: "I don't know what the lord is worried about, my subordinates can plan for the lord!"

When Yuan Shu saw that his strategist was coming, he couldn't lose his temper again. After all, as a lord, he still had to maintain a good image in front of his subordinates. And now he had something to ask the strategist to come up with some ideas, and the strategist's suggestions might play a big role in the end.

After sitting down, Yuan Shu asked, "Yuan Benchu ​​asked Sun Wentai as the vanguard to attack Sishui Pass. I wonder when Mr. Sun Wentai will be able to capture this pass?"

His adviser smiled: "Does the lord expect him to capture this Sishui Pass?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, what happened? Don’t I expect him to conquer the Sishui Pass? I’m so expecting that everyone can rush into the market as soon as possible to consume less food and grass.

"I don't know what sir meant?"

"Lord, please listen to my subordinates' words. Sun Jian and Sun Wentai of Wujun is a 'Jiangdong tiger'! If he gets Luo, he cannot copy it. This is to eliminate wolves and get a tiger! The lord must be guarded!"

As the saying goes, "I'm not afraid of no good things, but I'm afraid of no good people." Yuan Shu's adviser seemed to be thinking about his lord, but in fact he was a dog-headed military advisor. Moreover, Yuan Shu didn't know what the other party was doing.

When Yuan Shu heard this, this was reasonable, it was too reasonable. When Sun Wentai captured the Sishui Pass, he must have troops to enter Luoyang soon, and the others would have to step late. Not to mention other wolf and tigers, just say that Sun Jian was the first to arrive in Luoyang, so where would he put his face? He brought so many soldiers this time and had to take care of so much food and grass every day. Not to mention that he had great contributions, but he was also working hard and making great contributions. But Sun Jian advanced to Sishui Pass and Luoyang, and he made great contributions and gained great benefits. But in the end, he probably couldn't get anything, but he lost face.

No, absolutely not! He must not be allowed to take down the Sishui Pass, so Yuan Shu quickly summoned Yuan Shao to gather everyone today, and then Sun Jian said everything he said to his dog-headed military advisor. After hearing this, the dog-headed military advisor smiled, "Lord, this matter is easy, but I don't know if the lord dares to do it?"

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that it was now, and there was nothing he dared not do. Besides, no matter what the matter was, as long as he handled it properly, no one should know that it was his own actions.
