Chapter 172: Return of Hundred Officials
"Mr. Yang, many of the sixteen princes are my disciples. Although I am not going to go to Luoyang, I can write a letter to bring you back to Luoyang. I believe that many people will give me this old bone three-point face." Xun Shuang said.
Liu Yao looked at Xun Shuang in surprise. This old guy has done a lot of things for his family, and his disciples have developed to this point. He is not much more than the Yuan family.
There has been a topic in my previous life that has been discussed endlessly. That is, if the Xun family is not loyal to the Han Dynasty, then will they have the opportunity to win the world? But now in Liu Yao's opinion, if it is this, the Xun family really has some hope.
The Xun family is just a little worse than the Yuan family. It is also a big family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the resources under its jurisdiction are numerous. Otherwise, it would not have been possible in history that Cao Cao had been able to support Cao Cao for so long when Cao Cao was extremely short of food and grass. It can be said that Cao Cao's success was absolutely inseparable from the Xun family.
The Xun family, the eight dragons and three Ruo, each has amazing talents. Judging from the friendship between Xun Yu and Guo Jia, it is not difficult to tie these two people to their own Xun family's chariot.
In addition, with his prominent reputation, countless disciples will raise their arms and call out, and many strategists and generals will join the Xun family's camp.
With these prerequisite conditions, if the Xun family finally produces an ambitious and ambitious lord, he doesn't need to compare with Cao Cao and Liu Bei in terms of ability. As long as he doesn't want the two fools of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, that's fine. With the assistance of Xun Yu and others, the Xun family's chance of winning the world is really a big deal.
Unfortunately, if that is if. It will never become a fact. Xun Shuang has a high IQ, and this EQ is simply pitiful. Your Xun Shuang face is worth a few dollars, but there is no general trend. How can those princes serve you?
"Then I would like to thank Lord Xun." Yang Biao said with some gratitude. In his opinion, Xun Shuang's help, they could definitely let those princes serve.
Liu Yao looked at these coldly and did not expose them. Let them immerse themselves in this joy now. When these officials return to Luoyang and suffer from the cold eyes of the princes, I believe they will wake up.
Since the officials had already discussed the matter, there was no need for Liu Yao to stay here. He immediately went back to rectify the troops and prepared to go back to Youzhou the next day.
The next day, Liu Yao asked the Tibetan Ba to bring 10,000 cavalry to escort civil and military officials and the people who were going back to Luoyang. Of course, Liu Yao made it clear in the morning and sent them five miles away from Luoyang to let the Tibetan Ba to bring the army back directly, so as not to be cared about by Yuan Shao.
Liu Yao would have brought Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji, Huaxiong and others with 10,000 charge camps and 40,000 cavalry marching quickly, and received Bingzhou and heading towards Youzhou. Bingzhou can now be said to be Liu Yao's territory, so it will naturally be unobstructed along the way.
As for the remaining people who were willing to go to Bingzhou, Liu Yao asked Taishi Ci, Li Meng and the other two to take 10,000 cavalry and Li Meng's 15,000 troops to slowly escort to Bingzhou and Youzhou.
In the Luoyang camp, Cao Cao, who was defeated, had already returned to the Luoyang camp. Cao Cao, who was still embarrassed, didn't care about washing up and broke into the Allied tent. At this time, Yuan Shao and other princes were still drinking and singing there, and they didn't even know that Cao Cao led his troops to fight.
"Meng De, what's going on?" Yuan Shao asked in surprise at Cao Cao, who was embarrassed and dressed in disheveled clothes.
"What's wrong? Yuan Shao and Yuan Alliance Leader. All the princes, I tell you, I, Cao Cao, went to pursue Dong Zhuo at night, but I was defeated. I was defeated and even all the soldiers were left there." Cao Cao rushed forward directly. He snatched the wine glass on Yuan Shao's table, drank it all, and then threw it angrily and shouted.
Seeing that Cao Cao was so arrogant in front of him, Yuan Shao said with a gloomy face, "Meng De, I am the leader of this allied army. Why didn't you obey my orders and sent troops without authorization before you were defeated? What else do you have to say?"
Cao Cao laughed in anger and mocked him, "Yuan Shao, the princes here are not enough to make plans. How many opportunities can we defeat Dong Zhuo's army along the way, but you are afraid of your heads and only know how to drink and sing here. If it weren't for the general, you might not even be able to enter Luoyang City."
"Cao Mengde, do you still have me as the leader in your eyes?!" When Yuan Shao heard the name of Liu Yao, he immediately remembered the scene of being humiliated before. He patted Zhuo Zi and roared.
"It's okay if you don't want such an alliance leader, or if you don't want such an alliance." Cao Cao said angrily. Then he followed Xiahou Chun beside him and said, "Yuan Rang, let's go, leave Luoyang today, so as not to let this smoky land affect us." As he said that, he left the Allied camp without looking back.
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao's leaving figure and his rude words, and was immediately angry and his face was blue and purple. Just for his demeanor, he did not dare to say anything in front of these many princes, so he could only swallow this anger in his heart.
"Leader, Cao Mengde is ungrateful. I don't have to pay attention to him. It's better to drink." Han Fu stood up and said when he saw Cao Cao leave.
After hearing Han Fu's words, Yuan Shao's face suddenly improved a lot, and he nodded immediately and responded. With a promise, he started drinking and having fun again, completely giving Cao Cao's affairs to the king.
Three days later, Yuan Shao got a bad news, very bad news.
"Highway, what do you say? How could my Allied Army have no food?!" Yuan Shao slapped the table and said furiously. This food is the lifeblood of the army. If there is no food and grass, there is only one way to retreat. However, Yuan Shao was extremely unwilling to let Yuan Shao give up the territory of Sili.
"Brother, I don't know. Who knew that the food and grass were used so quickly, and now it would only be half a month left." Yuan Shu said casually. In fact, he knew very well. Although he was supervising the food and grass matters for the Allied Army, Yuan Shu had never cared about the food and grass matters. Therefore, the food and grass were almost gone. If Ji Ling hadn't broken into his tent directly, he might not have known about it now.
"You...you...hey!!" Yuan Shao was angry and pointed at Yuan Shao, looking at him, and finally sighed helplessly. He now regretted why he wanted to save face. In order to let everyone in the world know the ability of the Yuan family's four generations and three officials, he handed over the supervision of food and grass to Yuan Shu, an unreliable guy. It turned out that Sun Jian had already caused trouble that time. If he hadn't tried his best to dissuade him, he would have caused trouble. And now it was even more outrageous. Only half a month of food and grass were left, and Yuan Shu had just found out.
"Report!" At this time, a soldier ran in and said with a breath of breath, "Report to the leader of the alliance, the civil and military officials outside Luoyang City and the people of Luoyang have all returned."
"What! You said all the officials are back?" Yuan Shao screamed strangely after hearing this, and suddenly became a little panicked. You must know that if there were no civil and military officials, then Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, could be said to be the largest in Luoyang City.
However, if the civil and military officials came back, even if they had no military power, many of them were much higher than Yuan Shao in their official positions. In this way, the person who was in charge of Luoyang would not be Yuan Shao. How could Yuan Shao not be surprised?
When Yuan Shu heard this, he opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say. When the officials came back, their allies would be left alone.
"The leader, yes, the three people in the lead are Yang Biao, Ma Riyi and Huangfu Song." The soldier reported.
