Chapter 424

At that time, it might be that these warlords would unite to eliminate him first.

Although he was not necessarily afraid, there was no need to look for trouble.

And if he didn't let the soldiers unleash their full strength, chose to hide his strength, and followed the crowd to attack the city.

It would inevitably cause significant casualties.

This is something Su Xuan could not allow.

Therefore, choosing to leave Hulao Pass and go to attack Yique Pass was more in line with Su Xuan's requirements.

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao heard this and looked at Su Xuan in surprise: "Boyuan, you are actually willing to go? Not stay at Hulao Pass?"

"General Zhao Yun is still needed here to resist Lu Bu!"

"No need!"

Su Xuan heard this, shook his head and said: "Now, Dong Zhuo's army has been blocked by us in Hulao Pass and dare not come out, and Lu Bu is obviously no exception;"

"Therefore, fighting generals is no longer possible, and whether Zilong is here or not doesn't matter!"

"Moreover, among the warlords, there is no lack of fierce generals; I believe that even without Zilong, everyone can easily deal with Dong Zhuo's army, don't you think, Alliance Leader Yuan?"

As soon as this was said, the faces of the warlords present became much better.

They thought: "This Su Xuan is still very good at speaking and taking care of everyone's emotions! This is very good!"

Su Xuan had already said so, what else could Yuan Shao say?

He could only nod and agree: "Alright! Then I will leave Yique Pass to you, Boyuan!"

"I hope you can take it down as soon as possible, support us here, and force Dong Zhuo to give up Hulao Pass."

As long as Yique Pass is taken, Dong Zhuo will definitely not dare to stay at Hulao Pass and will definitely have to retreat.

At that time, Hulao Pass will naturally break without attack.

Of course, they could also work hard, attack the pass continuously regardless of consumption, and break Hulao Pass before Su Xuan takes Yique Pass, taking this place.

But how many lives would have to be filled in?

The warlords present, even Liu Bei, were here to get benefits; would they be willing to do this losing business?

"Yes! I will definitely complete the task with all my might!"

Su Xuan immediately bowed and ordered.

Then he said goodbye to the warlords and left here.

First, he went to reorganize the army, and then he found Yuan Shu, wanting to receive three months of food and grass.

"Three months? Isn't this too much?"

Yuan Shu heard this and immediately looked embarrassed: "Is one month okay? One month should be enough to take Luoyang!"

"Too little!"

Su Xuan shook his head directly: "Brother Gonglu, both you and I know that the eight passes of Luoyang are not so easy to take!"

"Heaven knows how many months it will take?"

"Yique Pass is not close to Hulao Pass; at that time, if I lack food and grass and want to transport it again, the loss and time required will be huge."

"Consuming more is a small matter; if it delays the attack on the pass and even leads to the defeat of our army, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

"Therefore, you might as well give me three months of food and grass at once;"

"Let me have enough food and grass and confidence to take Yique Pass in one fell swoop!"

This was naturally fooling Yuan Shu.

A mere Yique Pass, as long as he wants, relying on the Xuanwu Camp and the Xuanjia Army and the strength of Huang Zhong and others, he is confident that he can take it without even a day.

But he wouldn't do that.

How could he wait until Dong Zhuo steals the Imperial Tombs, moves the population out of Luoyangcheng, and burns Luoyangcheng before breaking the pass?

In this way, he could squeeze out the benefits and maximize the interests.

"This..."

Yuan Shu was also hesitant upon hearing this.

Indeed, whether it is Yique Pass or Hulao Pass, they are extremely dangerous; wanting to break them in a short time is undoubtedly a daydream.

But giving so much food to Su Xuan, he was always a little unwilling.

Su Xuan saw this and continued to fool him: "Oh! Brother Gonglu! You are confused!"

"This food and grass is not yours! It is Yuan Shao and Han Fu's; even if it consumes more, what does it have to do with you?"

"What impact does it have on you?"

"Even, with your relationship with Yuan Shao, consuming a little more is the most beneficial to you, isn't it?"

"Oh?"

Yuan Shu heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you say that?"

Su Xuan saw that he was hooked and immediately struck while the iron was hot, continuing to fool him: "Think about it! Although we are still in the alliance to crusade against Dong, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future will be an era of warlords fighting for the world!"

"In the future, you and Yuan Shao, even if you don't count your bad relationship in the past, are also rivals for hegemony;"

"Letting Yuan Shao consume more money and food now is equivalent to him having less money and food for hegemony in the future, right?"

"This increase and decrease, is it good for you?"

"It really is!"

Yuan Shu was enlightened upon hearing this, but then looked at Su Xuan with a half-smile: "Brother Boyuan is indeed far-sighted!"

"Alright! You convinced me! I'll give you three months of food and grass! There is no more!"

Any more, he was worried about weakening Yuan Shao but fattening Su Xuan.

You know, he is actually in a hostile relationship with Su Xuan now.

War could break out at any time.

Just waiting for the crusade against Dong to end, he and Su Xuan must have a battle in Nanyang.
