Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Li Ru continued: "Xiangguo, don't attack with all your strength in this personal conquest!"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Li Ru, why don't I understand what you said?"

"Xiangguo, the princes of the Eighteenth Route are attacking Xiangguo on the surface, but in fact they are jealous of Xiangguo's power and want to replace him. However, there is only one Xiangguo. If they win Luoyang, how can they not kill each other?"

"Seconds, seconds!"

Dong Zhuo led several generals to Hulao Pass, just when Sun Jian captured the White Horse Fortress, and the army arrived at Hulao Pass to challenge.

Lu Bu glanced at it and asked, "Father, are we going to attack?"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and shook his head, Li Ru told him that the war will start tomorrow morning, and let the princes cool down first today.

"No need, my son will leave Hulao Pass with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun tomorrow morning to challenge the princes!"

"promise!"

Although Lu Bu was displeased, he couldn't help it. Whoever let him lose such a big person at the beginning was severely injured by Cao Shuo.

Dong Zhuo is now a little suspicious of him, the number one fighter in the world.

In the evening, Sun Jian built a camp outside Hulao Pass, and summoned his generals, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and his eldest son Sun Ce to discuss the matter.

Sun Ce said angrily: "Father, our army's food and grass are gone. I sent people to urge it several times, but Yuan Shu refused to allocate food and grass!"

"Why?"

Sun Jian asked in puzzlement, logically Yuan Shu shouldn't be like this.

"He said that Cao Shuo took all the food and grass away, and there was no food and grass to distribute."

"what?"

"Cao Shuo is so disgusting, the enemy is in front of him, and he actually swallowed food and grass for his own selfishness."

Sun Ce said, "Father, let's go to Cao Shuo for food!"

"No, I'll ask tomorrow, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding!"

Cao Shuo had helped him once before, and he felt that Cao Shuo should not be indifferent.

"Father, Cao Shuo was worried that we owed a lot of food and grass and would not pay back, so he withheld our food and grass."

"Tomorrow, I'll go and ask in person, and I want the brothers to make up for it tonight!"

Sun Jian knew that Cao Shuo was not in the new city built by the allied army. If he went to Suanzao at this time, he might be delayed on the way.

Such a scene was not only Sun Jian's family among the allied forces, but also other people. Except for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the food and grass of the remaining princes were not seen at all.

At dawn the next day, Dong Zhuo ordered Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji, Li Su, and Fan Chou to lead [-] cavalry to attack Sun Jian's camp.

"kill!"

Sun Jian had also been on guard for a long time. This time, he prepared many traps and posts around the camp.

However, the cavalry itself restrained the infantry and had an advantage in numbers. Sun Jian didn't hold on for long before withdrawing to the allied city.

Seeing Sun Jian fled back to the city in a state of distress, Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Wentai, what's going on?"

Sun Jian snorted coldly and asked, "What's the matter? Meng De, the enemy wants to be unanimous at present, why do you want to withhold our food and grass?"

"Withholding grain and grass? What does this have to do with my son? Isn't Yuan Shu in charge of grain and grass?"

"Hmph, Yuan Shu said, Cao Shuo took all the food and grass of the Allied army!"

"No way? Just now Yuan Shu sent me a batch of food!"

Cao Cao would never believe that Cao Shuo would do such a thing. After all, the enemy is now, and if the princes lose their minds, what good will it do him.

"Okay, you Mengde, you actually eat alone food, let us starve and work hard, what is your intention!"

When Sun Jian heard that Cao Cao had just received the grain and grass, he was instantly angry.

Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, walked up to Cao Cao and asked, "Meng De, what do you mean by detaining our grain and grass?"

"That's right, why do you have food and grass, but we don't!"

"Even if we owe Cao Shuo food, we can't ignore the feelings of our allies at this time."

"Meng De, you have to spit out the food and grass."

"Cao Cao, the good son you taught, are you trying to kill us?"

"Did your son join Dong Zhuo?"

Yuan Shao was stunned when he saw this chaotic scene. What is the situation? When did Cao Shuo take away the food and grass?Why didn't Yuan Shu inform him.

"Gaolu, when did Cao Shuo take away the food and grass?"

Yuan Shu said in a low voice, "Brother, Cao Shuo didn't take away the grain and grass, but I sent someone to send the grain and grass there!"

"what?"

Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Shu, wanting to hear him give him a satisfactory explanation. Cao Shuo didn't send anyone to urge the food, why are you sending it there so eagerly, and this is the food of 50 troops, what should we eat if you give it to him.

"Brother, Cao Shuo bought so much food and grass, and he didn't contribute a little at this critical moment. How could he have any good intentions?"

"Nonsense, if Cao Shuo came here, how should we explain it?"

"Brother, don't worry, that brat Cao Shuo is a pervert. He just got two beauties who are as beautiful as flowers and jade. He won't come here in three or five days. It's too late for him to understand."

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Brother, you only need to do this!"

Yuan Shu explained a few words in Yuan Shao's ear, and Yuan Shao was overjoyed to hear that, if this plan succeeds, then Cao Shuo's reputation will be ruined, and his reputation will rise with the tide.

"My lords, please listen to me!"

Yuan Shao shouted at the princes underground.

Cao Cao suddenly felt that the world was much quieter. He was almost annoyed by the princes. This Shuoer is really messing around. How could he withhold their food and grass at this time.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Yuan Shao said: "My lords, our army has a total of 50 shi of grain and grass, Cao Shuo took 40 shi alone, and I ordered Gonglu to distribute [-] shi of grain and grass to Meng De. Fifty thousand stones were left."

"what?"

Hearing this news from Yuan Shao, the princes became even more angry. This Cao Shuo is so hateful that he would cut off their way of life at such a critical moment.

The author says:

Chapter 59

Yuan Shao persuaded: "Masters, why not do this, I will give you all the food and grass in my hand, let you tide over the difficulties first, if Cao Shuo comes, then ask him for food and grass."

"When will Cao Shuo come?"

"That's right, it's not like he died in Wenrou Township!"

"If he returns to Jizhou with soldiers and horses, what should we do?"

"Cao Mengde, you must give us an explanation!"

The princes began to accuse Cao Cao one after another. This pair of father and son was really abominable.

Cao Cao's face was extremely gloomy. Although he was not sure whether the 40 yuan of grain and grass that Yuan Shao said had been given to Cao Shuo, what did it mean that this guy gave half of it to himself?

Is this to arouse the princes' anger towards themselves?What a Yuan brother, he can't beat Cao Shuo, yet he dares to bully Lao Tzu.

Cao Cao thought of another terrible thing. If Cao Shuo really took this batch of grain and grass, then he would be ruined and become the target of public criticism.

No, there is no need to notify Cao Shuo as soon as possible, and ask him to return the grain and grass.

"Cao Ren, tell Shuo'er to come here as soon as possible!"

"promise!"

"My lords, I don't know about this matter, but I definitely don't mean to take advantage of you. My fifty thousand stones of food and grass will be shared equally among you. When Shuo'er comes, let him give you an explanation."

"Cao Mengde, don't make excuses. There are so many people, why did you receive the food and grass alone? Isn't Yuan Gonglu afraid of your son?"

"Yes, yes!"

Liu Bei stood aside without saying a word, observing the movements of the princes.

Zhang Fei said loudly: "I thought Cao Shuo was a hero, but I didn't expect him to be such a villain!"

Liu Bei scolded: "Third Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

"Am I right?"

"Third brother, you can't just look at the surface of the problem, we just watch the show!"

Zhang Fei looked depressed, how could this group of princes fight against Dong Zhuo all day long.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, glanced at the princes with disdain, and said, "Brother, we don't care if we don't participate in this alliance, let's just leave!"

Liu Bei said meaningfully: "Now is not the time."

As for Cao Shuo in Suanzao, just after dawn and before he went down to Wenshan Mountain, he received an astonishing news.

"Report, my lord, Master Ju calls you over!"

Cao Shuo hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Jushou followed him to Suanzao, he was usually in charge of arranging military affairs, and rarely troubled himself, especially at critical times like this.

"My lord, Yuan Shu sent 40 stones of grain and grass, saying it was a bet between Yuan Shao and him!"

"what's the situation?"

Cao Shuo was stunned, how could Yuan Shu be so kind, and delivered the grain and grass in person without urging them, could it be that these two guys have gotten rich recently?

He didn't think these two people could produce so much food and grass so quickly, especially Yuan Shao, who was very poor!

This fucking can't be military rations...

Cao Shuo had a bad premonition in his heart, got up hurriedly, kissed Lu Wen's red lips, then got dressed and came to the meeting hall.

"Lord!"

At this moment, the meeting hall was full of people, Ju Shou, Zhao Yun, Xin Pi, Dian Wei, Wang Ling were all there, as well as the deputy general and several thousand commanders.

"Master, what is going on here?"

Cao Shuo looked at Jushou beside him, hoping that he could explain to himself.

Ju Shou said with a puzzled face:

"My lord, my subordinates don't know, isn't it the food you asked for from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?"

"I didn't ask for it. Do they have so much food and grass? How can I ask for so much food and grass for them?"

"not good!"

"not good!"

Cao Shuo and Jushou exclaimed at the same time, they have already understood that this is a trap.

Cao Shuo said, "Military Master, what should we do now? This is a trick that the Yuan brothers have set for us!"

Jushou explained: "My lord, they want to ruin my reputation through this matter, and make the princes hate my lord."

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's that simple. We must find a way to send the food back as soon as possible, and we have to find a good excuse!"

Cao Shuo began to ponder, but he didn't expect the butterfly effect to come. It should have been that Yuan Shu was worried about the meritorious service of the princes and robbed them of their merits, so he withheld food, grass and military equipment.

However, now Yuan Shu actually resorted to a trick, and pointed the finger at himself.

Was the bet wrong?

Hmph, good you Yuan brothers, watch how I play you to death!

"Military commander, distribute these grains to the people of Chenliu County and Yingchuan County!"

Ju Shou asked puzzledly: "Master, do you want to stabilize the hearts of the people first, and then try to stabilize the princes?"

"Well, since the other party has brought the food and grass, they can't make the decision. They say it's gambling money, so I'll let them know that it's not the gambling money I want, and it doesn't count. I want to use this method to pick the dirty and frame It's still tender."

Ju Shou asked, "Did my lord think of a way to deal with it?"

"Isn't we raising troops to hunt down thieves just to help the Han family and save the common people? Look at the refugees left behind, how pitiful they are!"

Zhao Yun asked puzzledly:
