Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 226 Sneak Attack on Luoyang (4) - Allied Forces
The atmosphere in the big tent was serious, everyone held their breath and focused, and everyone was watching with cold eyes. Gongsun Zan actually refuted Yuan Shao's decision in public. At the same time, everyone was guessing, not knowing what would happen to Gongsun Zan.

"Prefect Gongsun, do you think the decision I made was wrong?" Yuan Shao snapped.

"That's right, lord, you must know that General Zhao's Yangzhou army is well-trained and powerful. This is the weapon our allied army uses to resist Xiliang soldiers. Now the lord has asked General Zhao's Yangzhou soldiers to escort food and grass. Isn't it overkill? So I implore the lord to take it back." Gongsun Zan straightened his back and said without fear of Yuan Shao's scolding.

"Leader, I also agree with Gongsun Taishou's point of view. General Zhao's Yangzhou Army is not suitable for escorting food and grass." Sun Jian also came out and said.

After hearing Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian's words, Yuan Shao stood up from his seat and said seriously, "I asked General Zhao to escort the food and grass because the Yangzhou Army is well-trained and will be able to properly protect the food and grass of the Allied Army, so Meng Decai and I This decision was made. Besides, General Zhao hasn't expressed his opinion yet, so why are you two in such a hurry?"

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian didn't say anything more, and turned their heads to look at Zhao Lei, waiting for Zhao Lei to make a statement.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhao Lei smiled, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his heart.He knew that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao must be dissatisfied with what he said in the tent a few days ago, so they are blatantly suppressing him now.But having said that, Zhao Lei didn't resist this grain and grass officer. After all, he had made countless achievements in this war against Dong, and now even if Yuan Shao arranged for the rear army to escort grain and grass, it was no big deal.In this way, instead of rushing to the front, the army and horses were lost in vain. As for the problem of storming Hulao Pass, it naturally has nothing to do with Zhao Lei.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei stood up, bowed his hands to Yuan Shao expressionlessly and said, "I don't have any objection to the leader's order. From this moment on, I will take over from Gonglu as the food and grass officer of the Allied army."

Yuan Shao seemed very satisfied with Zhao Lei's immediate agreement, showing a sly smile.Cao Cao, who was beside Yuan Shao, looked at Zhao Lei expressionlessly, without any emotional fluctuations.

"General Zhao, you..." Gongsun Zan wanted to say something more, but Zhao Lei cut him off.

"General Gongsun, General Sun, for the sake of the unity of the allied forces, please obey the orders of the leader of the alliance." Zhao Lei said still with a serious face.

Zhao Lei has said so, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian will not make fun of themselves.The two returned to their seats one after another, silent.

"Okay! Since General Zhao has agreed to take over the task of the food and grass officer, I will officially announce that General Zhao and the road's barracks will be replaced. Starting tonight, General Zhao's Yangzhou soldiers will move to the back camp to serve as guards and guards for the Allied forces. Deliver food and grass," Yuan Shao said.

"Dare to ask the leader, is it true that I will be in charge of all the rights of the allied army in terms of food and grass, and no one else can interfere?" Zhao Lei asked at this time.

Yuan Shao naturally understood Zhao Lei's intentions, and said: "That's natural, but if Zihan has any mistakes in food and grass, then don't blame my military orders."

"What does it mean that there is any difference?" Zhao Lei asked.

"That is, if there is any problem with the food and grass in our allied war, Zihan will take the responsibility." Cao Cao, who had been silent before, also stood up at this time and said to Zhao Lei.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Okay, I understand the meaning of the leader and Meng De." After finishing speaking, Zhao Lei sat down without saying a word.

After the replacement of the Grain and Grass Officer, the atmosphere in the big tent obviously changed. Everyone was whispering, what happened between Zhao Lei, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao, and why did they become like this?

However, Yuan Shao seemed to ignore the whispers of other princes, but discussed with everyone about the attack on Hulao Pass.When asked about the siege strategy, Yuan Shao habitually asked Zhao Lei about his strategy, but Zhao Lei only responded with one sentence.

"I'm the food and grass officer now, and I won't take part in your attack on Hulao Pass. I only need to be responsible for the safety of the food and grass of the Allied forces!"

Zhao Lei's words raised the embarrassing atmosphere in the tent to the extreme again. At this time, Yuan Shao secretly scolded himself why he always asked Zhao Lei for advice, which made him feel ashamed and bored now.And Cao Cao looked at Zhao Lei coldly, as if he wanted to see some rare animal.

Discussions in the big tent continued one after another, but in Yuan Shao's view, the strategies everyone talked about were empty words and had no practical effect.And Zhao Lei simply closed his eyes, closing his eyes and resting his mind.Anyway, now that he doesn't need to deal with the attack on Hulao Pass by himself, he doesn't bother messing with these princes.What he wants to do most now is to go back to his camp and discuss with Zhang Han the countermeasures for the grain and grass officer.Although Zhao Lei did not resist being a food and grass officer, he still hadn't understood why Cao Cao and Yuan Shao made such an arrangement, which required Zhao Lei's brains to answer.So Zhao Lei doesn't have time to talk nonsense with these princes now, he is silently waiting for the end of the military meeting.

When everyone's discussion failed, Cao Cao said: "Since everyone has no good strategy to attack Hulao Pass, then I think we will attack by force!"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, someone came out and objected: "It is impossible! Hulao Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we rashly attack by force, there will be heavy casualties."

Cao Cao looked up and saw that it was Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian who had just spoken.

When everyone heard Tao Qian's objection, they all agreed.In fact, they didn't agree with Tao Qian's point of view, but they didn't want to send soldiers to the tiger prison to die.Since Tao Qian was the first bird to speak out against it, they followed suit and rejected Cao Cao's suggestion.

Cao Cao was not surprised when he heard the opposition from all the princes, and his face looked very calm.At this time, he turned his head and asked Zhao Lei, "General Zhao, do you think this strategy of storming Hulao Pass is feasible?"

Originally, Zhao Lei wanted to answer Cao Cao's question as if he had nothing to do with him.But he turned to think about it, why did Cao Cao first ask Yuan Shao to transfer himself to the back camp to supervise the grain and grass, and then ask for his opinion on storming Hulao Pass?

Suddenly, Zhao Lei suddenly realized!It turned out that Cao Cao was making a deal with Zhao Lei. Cao Cao used Zhao Lei's chips to transport grain and grass and not participate in the storming of Hulao Pass to win Zhao Lei's support for storming Hulao Pass.Because even if he wanted to storm Hulao Pass this time, it had nothing to do with Zhao Lei, who was in charge of food and grass, so it would do him no harm whether Zhao Lei supported or did not support the storming of Hulao Pass.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since Cao Cao has put all his heart into this, and he is thinking for himself from his own point of view, Zhao Lei is not an ignorant person.So Zhao Lei said: "I agree with Brother Meng De's opinion, attack Hulao Pass by force!"

As soon as Zhao Lei's words came out, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were elated, especially Cao Cao, who was originally expressionless, now had a sunny face.

"General Zhao, you are transporting food and grass in the rear. The storming of Hulao Pass has nothing to do with you, right?" Yuan Shu said at this time.

"That's right! General Zhao, if you don't do your best, don't make such a statement!" The other princes also echoed.

Zhao Lei was not surprised to hear the opposition from other princes.It is normal for other princes to target him. After all, Zhao Lei is talking sarcasticly now, and it doesn't hurt his back to stand up and talk, so it is natural for him to be attacked by the public.

"Everyone, I didn't contribute to the Battle of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass earlier? You must speak with your conscience!" Zhao Lei said at this time.

When Zhao Lei said this, the princes couldn't refute it. In the two battles, the allied forces relied on Zhao Lei to win the first time, and the other time, Zhao Lei personally defeated the allied forces so that the allied forces could retreat completely and avoid being chased and killed by the Xiliang army.

"Do you all want to do nothing like this and train every day in the Allied Army? Instead of fighting Dong Zhuo? If it spreads, won't it be laughed at by the world?" Zhao Lei said again.

When Zhao Lei said this, the hearts of some princes had already begun to waver. Just when Zhao Lei and Cao Cao thought they had persuaded everyone, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, stood up and said: "General Zhao's words are right, we should really serve as the allies for the big man. To contribute, we can't always let General Zhao rush forward alone, while all of us hide in the camp. But this time at Hulaoguan, all the main forces of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are gathered, so if our allies are not united If so, how can we defeat the enemy?"

"Kong Beihai, what do you mean?" Zhao Lei asked tentatively.

"I don't think General Zhao needs so many soldiers to transport food and grass, right? I suggest that General Zhao should also spare some horses to help us attack Hulao Pass together." Kong Rong laughed.

Zhao Lei immediately understood what Kong Rong meant.

If you, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao don't let us other princes have a good life, then everyone will die together!
