Chapter 903

After the matter was over, Yuan Shao could interrogate them however he liked. In any case, he had left a sentence, and besides, he had already obtained the treasure, the Five-Fire Seven-Feather fan face. At worst, he would just leave.

"This..." Yuan Shao became indecisive in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong, but he could not speak, and Xu You's glib tongue made it impossible for anyone to handle.

"Report...!" Just as Yuan Shao was suspicious, a messenger stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Alliance Leader, there is an enemy in our rear, attacking the grain camp! Please, Master, send someone to support quickly!"

"My lord, look..." Before Yuan Shao could speak, Xu You stepped forward and said coldly: "Dong Zhuo's camp has long coveted our army's grain. Fortunately, we discovered these lords in advance; otherwise, if they acted from within and without, our army would be in danger."

"I suggest to my lord to send some reinforcements to support the rear grain, and then have the main force continue forward. As long as our grain is not obstructed, with our superior numbers, how can we not take Luoyang?"

Xu You's sharp tongue could be described as terrifying. Li Ru simply deployed a force to attack the rear and harass the coalition.

He directly gave the explanation that they were acting from within and without with those various lords, and it was in this back-and-forth that he frightened the indecisive Yuan Shao.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Shao immediately listened to Xu You's suggestion, ordered a portion of his forces to support the rear, and then the remaining elite troops accelerated their march toward Luoyang.

He directly put the matter of those lords aside and imprisoned them in cells.

This left the remaining lords on edge. After all, although Yuan Shao was the alliance leader, in terms of status, they were only equals. What right did he have to imprison the remaining lords?

This behavior was undoubtedly holding a sharp sword over the heads of the various lords.

And at this moment.

Ma Teng, the Administrator of Xiliang, as a man from the barren land of Liangzhou like Dong Zhuo, had never been favored by the various lords.

But Ma Teng had a pure heart and regarded saving the Son of Heaven as his mission. He ignored the indifference of the various lords and persisted to the end. But today, a man walked before him, an old man in black...

"Who are you, daring to trespass in my camp!"

Ma Teng roared. He did not know when an old man in black had appeared before him; how could one not be both shocked and delighted?

"Administrator, please calm your anger. This old man is Jia Xu from Yongdu, Liangzhou. I heard that you, Lord Ma Teng, who is famous for suppressing the Hu and whose reputation spreads beyond the borders, are here to suppress the rebels. I have come specifically to help you."

The old man in black was respectful and hurried, taking the opportunity to claim himself as a fellow countryman from Liangzhou, and his words did not lack wisdom.

"Hmm?"

In his surprise, Ma Teng endured and immediately grasped the man's intentions; he wanted to see what medicine the old man in black was selling in his gourd.

"This Administrator would like to hear what high opinion you have!"

Ma Teng said noncommittally, smiling.

"I dare not claim a high opinion, but I do have a plan. There is a small path outside Luoyang that leads to Luoyang. Now that Dong Zhuo's main force has come out, no one is guarding it, but the mountain is very high, and ordinary troops cannot climb it."

"But for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by you, which can handle both mountainous and flat terrain, it is easy. You only need to lead the Xiliang army to avoid Dong Zhuo's main force and go down the small path directly to Luoyang to save the Son of Heaven. Would that not be beautiful?"

The old man in black's words were astonishing.

Ma Teng thought that if what the elder said was true, and Dong Zhuo's main force had indeed all left, then compared to fighting the lords outside the city, Luoyang was equivalent to an empty city. Relying on the strength of his Xiliang Iron Cavalry to break through Luoyang and save the Son of Heaven would indeed be easy.
