Chapter 277

But he didn't expect this guy Gongsun Zan to have learned it from somewhere and use it on him instead!

"Cough, cough, Brother Bo Gui, it's not that I don't want to help you."

"It's just that the soldiers under my command also need to eat; I don't have extra grain to support you."

Yuan Shao made up his mind; anyway, no matter what, it was impossible to support Gongsun Zan with grain.

After all, once the coalition disbanded.

The two would immediately become irreconcilable enemies.

There was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

Giving grain to Gongsun Zan now was completely an act of aiding the enemy!

"Alliance Leader, do you really intend to stand by and watch us die?"

In order for his soldiers not to starve to death, Gongsun Zan simply let go of everything.

If it were in the past, he would never have asked his enemy Yuan Shao for grain.

But now, if there was no grain.

What would happen to these Youzhou boys who followed him south to participate in the alliance?

Therefore, Gongsun Zan no longer cared about face or anything like that.

He only wanted to get grain now!

"Brother Bo Gui, are you threatening me?"

Yuan Shao's face also darkened.

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight in the coalition camp.

Cao Cao hurriedly stood out to act as a peacemaker.

In the end, this meeting was destined to end unhappily.

And Gongsun Zan, in a fit of anger, also led his Youzhou army to leave the coalition camp.

Instead, he came to a place twenty miles away from the coalition camp and set up a separate camp.

Regarding this, the other warlords, except for Liu Bei, had no intention of persuading Gongsun Zan to return for the time being.

After all, once Gongsun Zan returned, he would definitely ask them to borrow grain again.

……

At the same time

Hua Xiong, leading Yu Jin, Wang Men, and 6,000 captured rearguard troops, returned to the pass.

After reporting the situation to Gu Yi, Hua Xiong smilingly brought Yu Jin and Wang Men over.

"General Wang, General Yu, you two are loyal and devoted people."

"But your masters don't seem to take you very seriously."

Gu Yi smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Wang Men and Yu Jin hurriedly looked up at him.

The two originally wanted to refute.

But the words reached their lips and were swallowed back down.

Gu Yi was right.

Among the other generals, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao ultimately chose them to stay behind.

This was naturally a decision made after weighing the pros and cons.

To put it bluntly, compared to them, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao were less willing to see other generals suffer losses here.

The two of them, including all the rearguard troops, were abandoned pawns discarded by Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao.

"Alright, are you two willing to join my army?"

"If you are willing to join;"

"I can grant you both the rank of commander of a thousand."

"If you are unwilling to join;"

"Including the 6,000 rearguard troops who surrendered with you, all will be exiled to the Liangzhou border to add bricks and tiles to the construction of Liangzhou!"

Gu Yi smiled slightly, his expression unchanged.

He was not a person who would force others.

But as more and more talent joined his ranks, Gu Yi was not willing to accept just any stray cat or dog.

He was only willing to give an opportunity once.

If Yu Jin and Wang Men wanted to be so-called loyal ministers and refused to surrender to the death, fine, Gu Yi wouldn't force them.

Just consider it waste utilization; exile them to the Liangzhou border to contribute to building a beautiful frontier!

At this moment.

As Gu Yi's words fell.

Yu Jin and Wang Men fell into a dilemma.
