Most of this group of troops have more or less experienced the "baptism" of battlefield killings.

Now, the entire banner is like clouds, spears are like forests, people and horses pass by, smoke and dust cover the sky, and you can feel the murderous aura soaring from a long distance!

When these large armies approached, their momentum was even more unbearable, making those who faced it suddenly feel that they were gold and iron horses, singing in disorder, and full of murderous aura, which made people feel chills.

"General Gongsun...General Gongsun!" There was a cry, followed by a staggering horse, which went straight from the rear wing of the army to the front army, and a round figure came into view.

Gongsun Zan looked back and couldn't help frowning.

This person is white and fat, with a round head and a round brain, with a face of wealth and honor. At first glance, he looks like a harmless rich gentry, or a wealthy businessman who upholds the concept of making money with harmony, but he doesn't look like a wise man with great resourcefulness.

But it was Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, who was assigned here by Yuan Shao, and was going to go with Gongsun Zan to defend the two wings where Sun Jian was stationed, and form a triangular formation with them.

"Prefect Zhang, why are you in such a hurry?" Although he somewhat despised this person's style of work, after all, they cooperated with each other at this time. After thinking about it, Gongsun Zan stopped his forward trend.

"Hey, General Gongsun, that..., that~ the lord previously asked me to be stationed on the two wings for protection, so who will send troops to the Sishui Pass?" Zhang Chao tentatively asked with his eyes rolling.

"Huh?" Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows.

"I see that the general's soldiers are extremely strong and they are the best strong support force, while my army is too lazy and chaotic, so I suggest one or two." Zhang Chao licked his lips and said with a smile.

"No, I don't intend to follow Yuan Benchu's arrangement honestly, attacking Sishui, Hulao, and advancing Luoyang, but I can't, Zhang Taishou should be a little tired, and send troops to go?" Gongsun Zan refused.

"General Gongsun..." Zhang Chao continued to persuade.

Gongsun Zan frowned, his unquestionable and assertive temperament began to be faintly visible between his brows and eyes.

The dialogue between the two continued to revolve around the disagreement over who should enter the army.

Liu Bei on the side couldn't help but let out a sigh. His original intention was to use the power of the princes to attack Dong thief together.

But looking at it now, it's no wonder that they are fighting against each other and secretly tearing each other down!

Thinking about Yuan Shao's arrangement, originally for everyone to go together in groups, it was indeed possible to largely eliminate the possibility of being defeated one by one by Dong Zhuo.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao ignored the selfishness of these people.

In other words... it is also possible, Yuan Shao actually knew that he was just deliberately indulging the selfishness of these people and letting them spend time in prison.

Anyway, no matter how he died, the person who died would not be sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army. As the leader of his army, what was weakened might be his potential enemy in the future.

For Yuan Shao, no matter which point is beneficial, and it is very simple, the loss is because you didn't try your best. After all, the alliance army has a lot of soldiers and generals. As long as you work hard, you will definitely win.

Everyone has to admit this point, if they win, the one who sings the most in the country must be the leader Yuan Benchu ​​who conducts properly.

And the most important point, winning or losing won't make Yuan Shao lose, it will only make his advantage bigger, which is a conspiracy from any point of view.

Everyone understands this truth, so Gongsun Zan and Zhang Chao are not willing to take the lead now, but just keep their heads down in thought, pretending to be stupid to each other.

After all, from the current point of view, Sishui, Hulao, and Luoyang's three routes of soldiers and horses are naturally the closest to Sishui with [-] troops, which is the most difficult to deal with.

No one wants to waste their own strength to chew on the hardest bones, but how should they say this?

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a little embarrassment.

At this moment, the two people who looked at each other secretly scolded each other for being cunning in their hearts.

"I am willing to share your worries." Just when the two were at a stalemate, a gentle voice from the side surprised them suddenly.

"The traitor Dong Zhuo disrespected the emperor and despised the emperor's prestige. Now my brother is launching a crusade to correct the prestige of the Han Dynasty. It is a great righteousness. I am ready to help my brother."

Gongsun Zan's eyes widened. He never expected that at this time, his junior brother Liu Bei would dare to show his head!

"Xuande's troops are not strong enough, so how can he get involved so easily?" Gongsun Zan glared at Liu Bei, and persuaded him cryptically.

Liu Bei knew what he wanted, so he smiled lightly, pretending he didn't understand, and said to him: "As a minister of the Han Dynasty, I should serve the country loyally, and what I have to do is nothing to worry about!"

As for the specifics, I really don't know what he is thinking at the moment.

But they could clearly feel that his chest was full of lingering excitement and stubbornness.

After a brief silence, Gongsun Zan, who had failed to persuade him, reluctantly agreed with Liu Bei's decision.

After leaving a total of 3000 troops for Liu Bei with Zhang Chao, the two left first, ready to find a time to wait for an opportunity.

And Liu Bei here, after receiving Gongsun Zan's decentralization, led the borrowed 1000 soldiers and horses, plus Zhang Chao's borrowed [-] troops, and began to assemble the whole army.

Before going to Sishui, he planned to call up his staff to discuss countermeasures.

After all, at this time, it is not very clear who will be the guard of Sishui Pass, and the other princes are all wandering towards Hulao Pass.

Therefore, the speed of soldiers is not suitable for this battle.

"Little General Gao, the allied forces sent Marquis of Wuhuan Sun Jian and [-] soldiers under his command to attack Sishui Pass. The opponent is [-] Xiliang troops. I heard that Dong Zhuo will also order the mighty general Hua Xiong and his army to support them. What do you think?" Liu Bei lowered his hand and asked gently.

It has to be said that Liu Bei at this time, compared with the later King of Hanzhong in history, is much less calm and a little more youthful.

Now that he has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion but stopped at the county magistrate, he is still wasting his life and accomplishing nothing.

Except for Gongsun Zan who was willing to accept him and entrusted him to the army with confidence, no outsiders knew him.

Although Liu Bei has the ambition of yearning for glory in his heart, he was born humble, and he will never erase the inferiority complex deep in his heart.

The subordinates who were playing the yellow scarves back then were also dismissed, and the county government officials were just government servants, who were useless and were also dismissed.

So now Liu Bei, in addition to the 2000 borrowed troops, only has more than a hundred personal soldiers. If he wants to make a difference, he needs to win over the borrowed troops.

Looking at Liu Bei with a worried face, Gao Zhi was embarrassed to tell the historical results, and pondered for a while: "Sun Jian is famous for his bravery, and he is known as a fierce tiger. He has maintained an invincible and undefeated game!"

After a pause, he continued: "For our army, the most important thing is to occupy the same heart. If the eighteen princes work together, we will surely be able to break through Luoyang! , then there is a gap between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it is not easy to work together!"

Liu Bei thought about yesterday's situation, couldn't help but nodded, and sighed: "The Han family has suffered such a catastrophe, and these people are still fighting each other. How can the Han room not be in danger?"

"Yes!" Gao Zhi nodded, he also felt that with these people, the Eastern Han Dynasty would die in the future.

"Okay! I didn't expect the general to be so young, but his knowledge is really extraordinary, not bad!" Liu Bei approached kindly, wanting to "discharge" Gao Zhi.

"..."

Well..., it turns out that there is still a generation gap between the ancient ways of wooing and the modern ones...

In modern times, money is spent, but in ancient times, it was based on sincere hospitality, high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and...shaking hands and making peace, eating and sleeping together.

However, some rules, in modern times, are no longer suitable in many places.

At least... Gao Zhi is not used to it.

Looking at Liu Bei holding his hand with a strange expression, the other hand kept patting the back of his hand, Gao Zhi had goose bumps all over his body.
