Chapter 520 To save or not to save?

Cao Cao was puzzled, because it was entirely because of Zhang Liao's whim. He felt that he was a cavalry and the cavalry could not force his attack on the city. Even if he ran to Chenliu City, others would not be afraid, but what if there were 20,000 to 30,000 infantrymen who could attack the city? Will Zhang Miao be afraid that he would open the city gate?

No matter how rich the rich people in the villages outside the city are, they are not rich. Moreover, the entire Chenliu County was already a war zone when Zhang Miao rebelled. Anyone with some brains would run to the city with money. If Chenliu City was easily taken down, it would be really a fortune. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Liao sent a letter to Sun Niu, Hu San, and Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai failed to guess Dong Hu's intention for a while.

Zhang Liao, Sun Niu, and Hu Sancai, no matter what Cao Cao thought, those who should be arrested everywhere still arrested the people, and those who should be escorted the prisoners still forcefully.

The honest people don’t need to be too strict. Even if they are not detained, some people who have no land and are poor, after getting some food for migration, have a high probability of believing Dong Hu’s promise and willing to go to Luoyang to try it.

For the honest people, only a few soldiers were needed to take people to Luoyang. However, soldiers were different from the honest people. Even if the 20,000 soldiers led by Zhang Chao were only recruited temporarily, it was very different from ordinary people and they had to be custodians. When Sun Niu and Hu San returned to Kaifeng, they became Zhang Liao's logistics brigade leader. Pang De, who had originally guarded more than 10,000 prisoners, also led two thousand young cavalry into Chenliu County and became a member of this looting feast.

Zhang Liao, Pang De, Jiang Ba, Dong Kui, and Li Kan led the Wanqiu to loot the territory of Chenliu County. Chenliu, Yongqiu, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Wuxian, Fugou and Weishi were all in the looting scope. I don’t know how many people they robbed. The leader Yuan Shao and Yuzhou Mu Kong Yi were shocked and had to discuss the "rescue" of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers.

Just like Cao Cao repeatedly wanted all the princes to attack Xingyang, Zhang Miao also hoped that all the princes would rescue Chenliu immediately. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, had a good relationship with Zhang Miao, and agreed to send troops without thinking. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, and Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, then agreed one by one. Even Liu Sheng, who was repeatedly scheming, had to nod in agreement. After two days of discussion, the Suzao Coalition finally unified the opinions on sending troops, but there were major differences on the issue of "staying at home".

Looking at the princes gathered again, Liu Dai punched everyone.

"Then Dong Hu almost placed all his troops in Kaifeng. I thought that leaving only 10,000 sour jujubes is enough. Fengqiu, Junyi and Xiaohuang counties only left five thousand soldiers, and our army is 130,000, which is enough to drive Dong's bandits away!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Sheng stood up.

"Governor Liu..."

"Liu Sheng!"

As soon as Liu Sheng spoke, Liu Dai suddenly interrupted in a cold voice. I don’t know where he got such anger, but pointed at Liu Sheng and was furious.

"Are you still a descendant of the surname Liu?"

Before he could say his words, he was pointed at the nose and cursed. If someone else had changed, Old Liu would definitely not dare to confront others, but Liu Dai's cursing really angered him. Liu Sheng stood up and pointed at Liu Dai and cursed him.

"If you want to die so much, then you can die--"

"The way out is gone, I will depend on how you escape back to Changyi-"

Liu Sheng sat down and was very angry and left his head. Seeing that he was like this, Liu Dai became even more angry and was about to curse...

"130,000..."

"Boyu, Beigong, when Lao Wang rebelled, there were 100,000 Liangzhou Qiang thieves in Jincheng!"

"There are five thousand Qiang thieves in Yunwu City. Yunwu City blocked the mouth of Laoya Canyon, which is more powerful than the sour jujube, Fengqiu, Junyi, and Xiaohuang. But so what? Huwa still leads five thousand cavalry to attack the rear of the 100,000 Qiang people!"

"Han Sui, Bian Zhang, Wang Guo, Ma Teng rebelled, and more than 100,000 thieves. Because Zhang Wen advanced violently, more than 100,000 Han soldiers in Meiyang were almost wiped out. Where is Huwa? Huwa still traveled thousands of miles to attack the four counties of Hexi!"

"Han Sui, who rushed to the four counties of Hexi, cut off the thief's retreat, became a trapped beast. How could Ma Teng not fight with him? If you are the ones who are sitting there, would you be willing to fight with more than 100,000 trapped beasts?"

"But he just cut off the retreat of more than 100,000 thieves!"

"It's just forcing more than 100,000 thieves to fight him!"

Liu Sheng suddenly pointed at Liu Dai.

"Do you really think Huwa doesn't want you to fight him? He wants you to fight him--"

"He wished you could expose your white ass. He poked Beigong Boyu and became an old king! He poked Qiangqu! He poked Kui's head! He poked Han Sui's old man! He dared not poked you-"

Liu Sheng left his head again, regardless of others' weird eyes, and even more so whether Liu Dai's head was smoking.

Gongsun Zan looked at the silent people and was hesitating whether to speak. Guan Jing hurriedly walked into the hall from outside, came close to him, and whispered a few words in Gongsun Zan's ear with a slightly frown...

"Is this true?"

Gongsun Zan was stunned and Guan Jing nodded silently.

"General Yan has sent someone to investigate again, and the exact news will be sent in two days at the latest."

Just as Gongsun Zan nodded, Yuan Shao frowned and said, "General Gongsun, what happened?"

Gongsun Zan did not answer Yuan Shao's words as soon as possible, but looked at Liu Sheng, who was sitting at the last place, and then punched Yuan Shao.

"The spies in the army just sent news that Dong Hu's general Sun Niu and Hu San have led their troops back to Kaifeng..."

"What?"

"Is this true?"

Zhang Miao was startled, and several people in the hall exclaimed. Gongsun Zan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"As General Liu said, Dong Hu had no intention of fighting with us at this time. Apart from looting Chenliu, Yongqiu, Xiangyi, Jiwu, Wuxian, Fugou and Weishi counties, he did not cross the Bian Canal, nor did he step into Yingchuan County, Liang State, or Chen State."

After saying that, Gongsun Zan hesitated a little again.

"President Yuan, will we still rescue Chenliu County?"

Yuan Shao opened his mouth, Sun Niu and Hu San had already retreated to Kaifeng, and the thieves around the seven counties of Chenliu County were all cavalrymen. If there were fewer... If there were no more... If there were no more... If there were no more cavalrymen, he could not catch up with the four-legged cavalry, and the whole group suddenly found that they had returned to the starting point.

"Why is that damn kid... so difficult?"

Yuan Shao had a headache and he looked at Gongsun Zan.

"General Gongsun, can your troops drive away the thieves with all their might?"

When Gongsun Zan heard that he wanted to fight to the death, he felt unhappy. At this moment, Guan Jing suddenly spoke.

"I would like to ask the leader Yuan to understand. Just now, the Wuwan people in Liaodong were dissatisfied with Liu Taishou's method of Shiyi, and more than a thousand Wuwan people killed people..."

"What?"

Gongsun Zan suddenly stood up. When he heard that the Wuwan people were about to rebel again, how could he sit still? He solemnly punched Yuan Shao.

"President Yuan, the Wuwan people have no kindness, and Zan must return to Youzhou immediately!"

"General Gongsun, please wait..."

Xu You was shocked and went forward to persuade him, but Gongsun Zan seemed to be extremely determined and held his fists hard.

"Why don't persuade me again when I work! Zan can fight against thieves for the country, but he cannot sit idly by the Wuwan people invade Youzhou, and cannot sit idly by the Wuwan people plunder the people of Youzhou!"

After saying that, before Yuan Shao could speak, Gongsun Zan turned around and left, as if he would not be able to leave if he didn't leave.

Looking at the back of strode away, Liu Sheng's eyes showed a strong desire, and the next moment he felt extremely disappointed. Since he entered the sour jujube, the only person who could say a few words for him was Gongsun Zan. Without help, what can he do in the future?

Liu Sheng secretly speculated in his heart, but everyone frowned. Gongsun Zan's or not left had no big impact on themselves. The Youzhou army, which only had three or five thousand soldiers, would not have been too important for all the big bosses to pay too much attention, but... First, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, left, followed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and now Gongsun Zan. At the same time, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers were also set on fire by Dong Hu...

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Dai said seriously: "Liu thought that we must drive away the thieves in Chenliu County, or drive away the children in Xingyang. If this is not the case, how do people in the world think of us?"

Gongsun Zan's departure made Yuan Shao feel heavy pressure, and even felt difficult to control the situation...

"What do you say about Liu Sheng, what is Liu's governor Liu?"

Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at Gongsun Zan's empty seat and remained silent for a long time...

"Liu is willing to lead all the troops to rescue Chenliu!"

Everyone was stunned, quite surprised by Liu Sheng's attitude. He had always opposed sending troops before, whether it was attacking Xingyang or rescuing Chenliu City, but now...

"good!"

Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and looked at his general Yan Liang.

"Yan Liang, I will give you 20,000 troops. Do you dare to go to Chenliu with Prefect Zhang?"

Yan Liang stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, lord, if a thief attacks, the last general will be beheaded the thief's head and presented it to the lord!"

"good!"

Yuan Shao looked at Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Kong Rong and Yuan Yi again.

"Are you willing to help me with all your strength?"

Four people looked at each other...

"Yu Jin can lead 20,000 troops to help."

"Qiao Rui can lead 10,000 troops to go."

"Wu'anguo can lead ten thousand troops."

After seeing the three generals of the Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yizong, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and Kong Rong, they looked at Yuan Shao.

"Then Dong Hu is an extraordinary person to stop him, and perhaps only General Zhonglang can resist him."

"Benchu, should you consider it again?"

Yuan Shao knew that the "General General" in his cousin Yuan Yi's mouth was Zhu Yan, but he still instinctively disliked Yuan Yi mentioned people in public that no one would want to mention.

Everyone looked at each other, but they were unwilling to support Yuan Yi's suggestions.

Dong Hu's accident affected the fate of some people, and the most influential ones were Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye. In the original trajectory, Zhu Ye had never entered the Han army camp of Meiyang. Even when Dong Zhuo became the prime minister, he still stayed in the court for a while. Dong Zhuo even wanted him to be the deputy prime minister, but Zhu Ye did not agree. Later, he ran to Jingzhou and took a single army and became a member of the anti-Dong Zhuye. But Zhu Ye was very strange. He was an anti-Dong member, but he could not be marked with the word "天天". After Dong Zhuo's death, Li Jue and Guo Si became the master of Chang'an, and he ran to Chang'an to serve as the "Taifu" position, and then died in Guanzhong.

Since the first year of Zhongping, Dong Hu has been lying on the border of Liangbing, away from Luoyang and politics, and has little impact on the implementation of the court's policies. The world is still moving forward along the original trajectory. However, he is a military man and has little influence on civil officials and eunuchs who have exercised political influence. However, he can influence some military generals related to him, especially some generals who participated in the Meiyang camp.

Zhu Jun should not have been affected by an unexpected thunder moth, but he intervened in the Meiyang Camp, and his life trajectory also changed, so he offended Dong Zhuo and had to flee to Jingzhou in advance.

Although Zhu Jun fled Luoyang in advance, some self-interest considerations will not change. For example, after the rebellion of Liangzhou in the first year of Zhongping, Zhu Jun served as the General of the Right Cavalry, and for the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, he had a very high prestige in Nanyang County. These are not facts that the Yuan brothers were willing to face.

The world has changed, and all the princes have already had the intention of becoming kings and dominating. Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu don’t want a prestigious veteran lying on their heads. Could Sun Jian be willing to be his old boss lying on his head?
