Chapter 185
Chapter 185
Under the prosperity of the ancient capital Luoyang, the two forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Yao are like undercurrents, confronting each other, and their voices are almost overturning the quiet sky of this ancient capital. In the city, rumors are intertwined into a network, and the supporters of the two factions each have their own opinions.
Among them, Yuan Shao's allies account for the largest proportion.
Cao Cao is caught in the middle, and can only not help each other, because one side is a childhood friend who has been peeping at girls together since childhood, and the other side is Liu Yao who has repeatedly saved him.
He is also very embarrassed.
Beside Liu Yao, Gongsun Zan is like a tiger descending from the mountain, filled with righteous indignation, and his voice of condemnation is deafening; while Si Tu Wang Yun, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, argues with reason.
However, the power of these two people seems particularly lonely in the vast court disputes.
The rest of the ministers and princes are like frightened birds, hiding in the dark or wandering in a neutral place, not daring to express their opinions easily. They knew that both Yuan Shao's thundering methods and Liu Yao's unfathomable depth were too much for them to bear.
In the turbulent times, Yuan Shao's prominent family background and numerous allies undoubtedly gave him a glorious coat of overlord, making him the focus of everyone's attention.
But if we talk about whose troops are the strongest and most powerful, it must be Liu Yao and Gongsun Zan, both of whom have border troops.
Especially the cavalry led by Liu Yao, which is a storm on the grassland and the iron hoof in the nightmare of the enemy. Once upon a time, he led his troops northward, and the Xianbei tribe was terrified, the Wuhuan royal court was destroyed, and the Xiongnu cavalry was also shattered under the trampling of his cavalry.
This is not just a victory in battles, but also a complete conquest of the northern grasslands, making that vast green field a solid backing for Bingzhou, continuously supplying war horses like dragons, herds of cattle and sheep, and those warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles.
Gongsun Zan is also a sharp sword at the border. His army is also weathered and invincible. The two of them stand side by side, as bright as twin stars, guarding the northern gate of the Central Plains together, so that foreigners dare not easily peek at the prosperity of the Central Plains.
In addition, Liu Yao has now encircled Dong Zhuo's rear route and completely occupied Guanzhong. Now it is nothing but a fool's dream to let this Bingzhou dragon spit out what has gone in.
Yuan Shao's face is cold at this moment, his eyes are like ice and he shoots directly at Liu Yao, and his body seems to be shrouded in an unquestionable majesty.
Humph! In terms of family background, who in the world can compare with our Yuan family, who can surpass our Yuan family's four generations of three officials! A mere county magistrate dares to compete with me here. Is it really an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating one's own ability!
Really don't know how to live or die!
Liu Yao heard this and smiled contemptuously. There was a sense of unyielding and mockery in the smile, as if he was responding silently.
What if his family background is prominent? The world is like a new chess game. How can the final victory or defeat be determined by one's origin?
This scene is like two tigers fighting, sparks flying, and Yuan Shu is secretly delighted on the side, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself:
Haha, how can I miss such a good show? When the two of them fight and both lose, I, Yuan Shu, can reap the benefits and achieve hegemony!
As for Sun Jian, his mind at the moment is not on such a fight. The jade seal is in his hand, and this heavy weight represents supreme power and wealth!
He secretly calculated in his heart how to get away as soon as possible, away from this place of right and wrong, and bring this treasure back safely, so as to make a plan for the future.
At this time, Yuan Shao looked sideways outside the tent. Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already arrived at the entrance of the hall.
At this moment, Yuan Shao's confidence seemed to be inflated by an invisible sail, and his voice was full of unquestionable determination:
"Hmph, Liu Ziyi, no matter how eloquent you are today, it is hard to change my mind! Liu Bangchang will surely become the destiny of the Han Dynasty, and who else can be the emperor!"
Liu Yao's all-seeing eyes gently swept across Yuan Shao's disguise, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was a bit teasing and profound.
"Heh, Yuan Shao, do you think that with only Generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with 100,000 troops pressing on Luoyang, you can sit on the Diaoyutai and win the victory?"
"How do you know? I mobilized..."
Yuan Shao was immediately shocked. His secret mobilization of troops was very secretive.
At this time, Guo Jia, who was standing next to Liu Yao, sneered and said, "General Yuan, your army's every move is under the control of the Bingzhou Army!"
Yan Liang stepped forward at this moment, with a hint of disdain on his lips, and sneered coldly, "Humph! Everything is under control, so what? I have heard of the reputation of the Champion Marquis for a long time, especially his feat of killing Lu Bu, which is eye-catching. But--"
He changed the subject, his eyes flashing with arrogance and challenge.
"Unfortunately, I was not able to personally attend the meeting under Hulao Pass.Otherwise, Lu Bu's head would have been killed by my sword!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap. Dian Wei stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and he was furious: "You! You arrogant kid! Don't think that your tongue can shake anything!"
Yan Liang smiled contemptuously, his eyes swept over Dian Wei, as if he was just an ant, and said lightly: "Oh, a rough man like you is also worthy of arguing with me? I, Yan Liang, only swing my sword at the strong, and the only opponent in my heart is Liu Yao!"
These words aroused thousands of waves, Gao Lan and Zhang He were even more furious, their faces were ashen, and they almost roared at the same time: "Bold lunatic! How dare you be rude to my general, you are simply looking for death!"
Wen Chou also came up at this time.
"Hmph, Liu Yao, if you have the courage, come and fight with me! You are a coward who can only hide behind others! "
Suddenly, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and a tense confrontation quietly unfolded inadvertently.
"Hmph! Yuan Benchu, since your men want to fight me so much, how about we make a bet?"
Yuan Shao knew Liu Yao's ability and waved his hand quickly.
"Hehe, my men are all rough men, it would be bad if they hurt the general."
Liu Yao chuckled and said, "Benchu, you misunderstood, it's not me who will fight, but the guard next to me who will fight on my behalf. Yan Liang and Wen Chou under your command will challenge him in turn."
"If I win, you will withdraw immediately!"
"If I lose, I will also withdraw immediately!"
"How about it? "
Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at Dian Wei. This man had no outstanding achievements before. He was probably just a personal guard commander. He probably didn't have much fighting power.
What's more, he still had 100,000 troops. It would be best if he won. If he lost, it would not be impossible to attack Liu Yao and wipe him out!
