Cao Ren and others reacted after a while, and they understood why Lin Yuan said this.

They only think about immediate interests and do not look beyond

"The military advisor is right, but we are too narrow-minded!"

Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan and others looked at Lin Yuan and bowed their hands.

"I know that you want to make the lord's power stronger. This is also my idea."

"But we still have to do it step by step, otherwise not only will the lord's power not be strengthened, but he will also be destroyed."

"We will remember what the military advisor said!"

Cao Ren and others heard Lin Yuan's words and bowed.

Cao Cao and Lin Yuan saw this scene and looked at each other and smiled....

Sun Jian's camp outside Sishui Pass.

Sun Jian sat in the main seat with a very gloomy expression.

Although Hua Xiong was dead, all Xiliang troops surrendered.

His army also suffered heavy losses, and more importantly, there was no more food and grass in the army.

He was very happy when Hua Xiong died and returned to the camp to calm down.

This time I suffered heavy losses in attacking Sishui Pass and did not gain any benefits.

Cao Cao, a latecomer, did getSishui Pass, he has figured it out now.

He was used as bait by Cao Cao, and while Hua Xiong left with his army, he captured Sishui Pass.

Although Sun Jian was angry now, he couldn't say anything.

After all, Cao Cao also had his own army and indeed captured Sishui Pass.

It was the first battle for the coalition forces and they won their first victory.

"Why!"

"Tomorrow some of you will follow me to Sishui Pass to meet Cao Mengde."

Sun Jian looked at the people in the camp with a trace of decadence on his face.

"Lord, would you like to think about whether it is safe to go to Sishui Pass like this?"

Huang Gai looked at Sun Jian and bowed with his hands

"hehe!"

"Cao Mengde killed Hua Xiong, recovered the Xiliang army, and captured Sishui Pass."

"He, Cao Mengde, had all the benefits, so how could he target me, a defeated general?"

Sun Jian said with a hint of ridicule on his face.

At dawn the next day, Sun Jian took only Sun Ce and a few others to Sishui Pass, and the army camped on the same spot. When they arrived at Sishui Pass, Sun Jian was a little surprised to see the scene in front of him.

Sishui Pass City The door opened wide, and Cao Cao took his young counselor and the tiger generals who fought with Hua Xiong last night, standing in front of the gate of Sishui.

"Brother Wentai has worked hard these days. Please come to the city to talk."

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and bowed his hands in salute.

Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao with surprise on his face before coming to Sishui Pass.

He thought that Cao Cao would not come to greet him. After all, Cao Cao had just won the battle and captured Sishui Pass.

It was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant, so how could he personally receive this defeated general?

Sun Jian got off his horse, came to Cao Cao and saluted:

"Brother Meng De is so polite. How could a defeated general receive such a great gift?"

"Brother Wentai, don’t laugh at yourself, fight fiercely with the Xiliang army without falling behind"

"There are very few princes among the princes who can achieve this level."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Sun Jian felt much better.

Sun Jian looked at the young man next to Cao Cao who was dressed in white and had a calm expression.

"I met General Sun when I was in Linyuan. Lin

Yuan closed the folding fan and looked at Sun Jian and bowed slightly.

"Brother Meng De was able to capture Sishui Pass, and he must have contributed a lot!"

Sun Jian looked at Lin Yuan and expressed his thoughts.

Hearing Sun Jian's words, Lin Yuan smiled. Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and said:"Brother Wentai, you and I should go to the city to talk."

"Brother Meng De, please!"

Cao Cao and Sun Jian walked into Sishui Pass hand in hand, and everyone followed them into Sishui Pass.

When they arrived at the city lord's palace, Cao Cao and Sun Jian sat on the main seat together.

After a few glasses of strong wine entered their bodies, Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and said:

"Brother Wentai has been fighting fiercely against Hua Xiong in the past few days. How has the army suffered?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, the city lord's mansion instantly became much quieter.

Others just drank silently without saying a word.

Sun Jian drank a glass of wine and slapped the glass on the table:

"The soldiers brought by this general fought fiercely with Hua Xiong and lost half of them."

"The food and fodder in the army have also been exhausted."

Sun Jian said with anger in his heart. This was the first time he had been so defeated.

"snort!"

"Brother Wentai had elite soldiers and generals under his command. The defeat by Hua Xiong was all the fault of the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu."

Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao with an angry face. Cao Cao mentioned Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu just now.

He was wondering why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not help him several times when he asked for help.

"Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could clearly read the rescue letter that Brother Wentai sent back to the land of the alliance."

"Yuan Shu was narrow-minded because Brother Wen Tai elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and he hated Brother Wen Tai for deliberately delaying food and supplies."

"The same goes for Yuan Shao, who knew that the morale of Hua Xiong's army was at its peak."

"He didn’t want his troops to suffer losses, so he didn’t send troops to support Brother Wen Tai."

"Seeing this, no one from the other princes took the initiative to come forward to support Brother Wen Tai."

Cao Cao put down the wine bottle with a trace of anger on his face.

"Yuan Shu is a common man. This narrow-minded general will definitely take revenge."

"Yuan Shao is not worthy of being the leader of the alliance. This general supported him so much, but he watched this general lose miserably."

Sun Jian had anger on his face when he heard Cao Cao's words.

Now he completely understood why no reinforcements arrived and no food and grass were delivered to the military camp.

Sun Jian drank a few glasses of wine and his mood calmed down a lot.

He looked at Cao Cao and said:" Since other princes did not dare to fight against Hua Xiong's army, how could Brother Meng De lead his army to Sishui Pass?"

Sun Jian looked at Cao Cao, with a doubt in his heart.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and smiled and said:"Strategist Lin Yuan proposed to me, General, to bring an army to support Brother Wentai."
