Shao for our emergency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the reasonably good diplomatic relations between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, borrowing some grain and fodder should not be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, whose grain and fodder had been burned to ashes, had no good solution at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could figure it out with their toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely impossible for Yuan Shao to lend grain and fodder to Gongsun Zan for no reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the presence of the big boss Dong Zhuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is estimated that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would be fighting each other right now, struggling to the death for the territory of the four provinces of Hebei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the terrible diplomatic relationship between the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Yuan Shao's head wasn't broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be impossible for him to fund this potential enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for those from whom Gongsun Zan could borrow grain and fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None were better than Tao Qian, Kong Rong, and Liu Bei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Beihai occupied by Kong Rong was merely a single commandery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grain and fodder he carried were barely enough for his own troops to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to lend any to Gongsun Zan, his own troops would go hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Tao Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at the fact that he possessed the relatively wealthy Xuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, he had just experienced a major war with Cao Cao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two commanderies in the north of Xuzhou suffered from the destruction of farmland by the Cao Army, and not a single grain was harvested during the autumn harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guangling Commandery in the south of Xuzhou also had no harvest due to flooding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to sign a ceasefire agreement with Cao Cao, Tao Qian also compensated Cao Cao with a large amount of military funds and grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Tao Qian, who was originally relatively wealthy, to become a pauper directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grain and fodder brought for participating in the coalition this time were only enough for his own army to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely impossible to share it with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei was indeed someone who could lend grain and fodder to Gongsun Zan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the key to the problem was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei didn't have much surplus grain either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huainan was wealthy, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But counting it all up, Liu Bei had occupied Huainan for less than three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had missed both the autumn and spring harvests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the grain harvested from the vast land of Huainan went to the local noble families and powerful clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Liu Bei was a real pauper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grain and fodder he carried for this northern expedition to join the alliance were not many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was estimated that it would be difficult for his own army to have enough to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to share it with Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's army would also fall into the predicament of running out of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only choice left for Gongsun Zan seemed to be to withdraw his troops and return to Youzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But withdrawing to Youzhou was a long journey, and grain and fodder were also needed along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mutiny in the army directly on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was also a very likely occurrence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan hurriedly came to discuss matters with Cao Cao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And told Cao Cao about his difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoping that Cao Cao could help him think of a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the wisdom of Cao Cao, there was no way to help Gongsun Zan solve the current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guandong warlords were all guys who wouldn't get up early without profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were temporarily considered allies with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such important strategic supplies as grain and fodder could not be easily given away by anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Gongsun Zan's lonely departing back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of alertness crossed Cao Cao's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time, Sun Jian... seemed to have been squeezed out by the coalition and eventually became an undercover agent for Dong Zhuo's army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Gongsun Zan would also follow in Sun Jian's footsteps?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao hurriedly called Gongsun Zan back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best to persuade Gongsun Zan, hoping that Gongsun Zan would first go with him to Hulao Pass to meet up with Yuan Shao and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deliberation, they would decide on the next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Hulao Pass\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shao led the remaining five warlords to line up here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on his numerical advantage, Yuan Shao impatiently ordered the coalition soldiers to launch a fierce attack on Hulao Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fighting for a whole day, under the absolute defense of Zhang Liao, the coalition did not make the slightest progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the coalition's main tent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shao and the other five warlords were discussing the battle arrangements for tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao's personal guards were brought in from outside by Yan Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, these personal guards informed Yuan Shao about the burning of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's grain and fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shao was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his seat on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the strange look on Yuan Shao's face, several warlords hurriedly asked him what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shao told them the facts as they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Liu Bei, and Kong Rong all lowered their heads slightly after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no intention to mock Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan could be considered the best in terms of strength among the coalition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their grain and fodder had been burned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the entire coalition, this was a huge loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan withdrew from the coalition, I am afraid the combat effectiveness of the coalition would directly drop by more than 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gentlemen, let's all share your opinions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shao asked the five Guandong warlords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the five Guandong warlords felt a sense of shared fate regarding the burning of Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's grain and fodder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they were really asked to express their views on this matter, they all acted as if they were mutes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
