"Uh, not good! Li Zheduan is extremely despicable, and he actually bullies the few with more!"

Seeing Yan Liang killing two generals of the Xiliang Army in front of the formation, and fighting Gan Ning was only capable of resisting but not able to fight back, Yuan Shao smiled and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

However, he was not happy for long. Seeing that Yan Liang had the upper hand and completely suppressed Gan Ning when he took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, he saw two fast horses running out of the Xiliang army again, and two extraordinary generals of Xiliang rushed straight to Yan Liang in front of the formation at lightning.

In an instant, Yuan Shao was furious, shouted loudly, and scolded Li Li for being despicable and shameless.

Indeed, Li Li of Xiliang actually sent two generals to siege Yan Liang at one time, which was indeed a loss of identity and was despicable.

Therefore, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Li Li was simply the despicable villain in the world who was the most despicable person. He had no faith and no shame. He could be said to have all the five poisons. He lost all the face of the overlords of the princes and was not worthy of standing with him in the world and was useless to become a general of the court.

But Yuan Shao didn't know that in Li Li's eyes, Yan Liang and the princes of the Allied Army were also despicable and despicable. Therefore, he believed that fighting with such insidious people was not necessary at all, and any method that could kill the enemy general Yan Liang could be used; in short, it was: no matter whether it was a white cat or a black cat, the one who could catch a mouse was a good cat.

It is not difficult to see from this that although Yuan Shao and Li Li have different positions, their ideas are surprisingly similar at this moment. Yuan Shao believes that Li Li is untrustworthy and shameless, while Li Li believes that Yuan Shao is despicable, sinister and vicious, and both dislike each other, and both think that the other is despicable and insidious. This just proves that both commanders are well-deserved competent coaches, and each stands on their own. They must fight for the slightest and do not give in.

At the same time, it can be seen from the tragic situation of the generals in front of the formation that the original decisive battle of Loudi is completely different from the previous battle in the southern suburbs.

In the battle of the southern suburbs, the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army fought in front of the formation just to show the other side the powerful force. The main purpose was to promote martial arts rather than killing the generals in front of the formation. After all, both sides of the war were the Xiliang Army, just like the competitive fighting between their own brothers, and it was enough to give in to one side, not a life-and-death battle.

In comparison, the decisive battle in Loudi is the true life-and-death duel. At the beginning of the decisive battle, the generals of both sides fought each other in life and death. The generals in front of the formation were to kill the generals and make contributions, to attack the enemy's fighting spirit, and to inspire morale. Therefore, the generals of the fight were both convenient to fight the true fire at the beginning. Gan Ning accidentally killed Wen Chou, and Yan Liang used the trick to kill Hu Zhen and attack Yang Ding. The generals in front of the formation had this part. Various deceitful means emerged one after another, and there were no taboos. The coaches of both sides were cursing the other side for despicable, but in fact they were all making excuses for their sinister means, and slandering the opponent was to elevate themselves.

While scolding Li Li sternly, Yuan Shao looked back and looked at the Allied generals behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Who can you come out to kill the thief generals, the leader of the alliance will definitely reward you. Reward a thousand gold and give him a hundred good horses! Who dares to fight against the thief generals?"

Many generals in front of the Allied Forces changed their expressions when they heard the sound. Many generals were excited and eager to try. They witnessed Yan Liang's killing of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding with their own eyes. These generals were inevitably amazed and moved. Unfortunately, their respective lords did not speak, which made them dare not act rashly even if they wanted to fight and earn rewards.

Seeing that the generals under the tents of other princes of the Allied Army were ready to move, many generals in Jizhou were not willing to let the enemy down, and they pulled the reins and tried to strike the horses. Among them, the generals such as Zhang He, Gao Lan, Qian Zhao, Chunyu Qiong, Gao Gan and Ma Yan were the most excited. They almost rushed forward and prepared to volunteer to fight to Yuan Shao.

However, what Jizhou generals never expected was that they had just fought forward and welcoming Yuan Shao's cold and harsh eyes to stop them. Yuan Shao also put his left hand behind and waved his hand gently, indicating that the Jizhou generals were not allowed to fight. This action was extremely hidden, and not all Jizhou generals could discover and understand the profound meaning at the first time. However, the second general Zhang He, who was the first to fight, saw it clearly. The two of them immediately stopped, and then reached out to stop the other Jizhou generals beside them, with their eyes indicating that they should not go forward to fight.

At this moment, the generals of Jizhou were very puzzled by his lord's actions, and they couldn't help but speculate in their hearts, and some generals even showed resentment on their faces. However, Xu You and Guo Tu, who were among the generals, knew that their lord must be scruples, and were worried that the generals of Jizhou would not only fail to win after the war, but would likely die in front of the formation. Therefore, Yuan Shao spared no expense to offer a reward, hoping that other generals under the tent of the Allied Army would go to war. In this way, they could not save Yan Liang and use the generals of Xiliang to weaken the strength of the princes in various towns. Why not do such a good job of the best of both worlds?

In fact, Xu You and Guo Tu guessed it right, which is exactly what Yuan Shao meant.

Yuan Shao, who was staring at many Allied generals, was now with this idea and firmly believed that there would be brave men under the heavy reward. These brave men did not come from the generals of Jizhou under his command, but other Allied generals. The focus was Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and Liu Bei. If Lu Bu or Liu Bei could volunteer to fight, it would undoubtedly be the perfect match for Yuan Shao's thoughts.

After the reward order was issued, Yuan Shao thought that someone would inevitably go out to fight, but after hesitating for a while, not only did no one voluntarily go to fight, but his face gradually calmed down, as if a stone was sinking into the sea, and no one even fought on horseback.

Just at this moment, Yuan Shao noticed from the corner of his eyes that Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were both looking down and laughing, as if he was mocking him for being too self-righteous.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao's face changed suddenly, his face turned red and white, and his cheeks turned red, his eyes were cold and gloomy. Obviously, he couldn't hold on his face, and he was angry and embarrassed after losing face, but he had no way to vent.

At this moment, Yuan Shao couldn't figure out where the problem lies. Why were the generals still indifferent in the face of such a heavy reward?

Just as Yuan Shao frowned and thought, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Zhang Yan pretended to raise their heads inadvertently, but when they looked up, the four of them looked at each other and tacitly understood each other. Then the four of them looked back at the generals under their tent, and their eyes swept over the generals one by one. Then the old god was sitting upright on the horse's back, staring at the battle in front of the formation, silently speaking.

Yuan Shao had no idea about this strange scene, or he could do nothing even if he saw it. He really couldn't figure out why it was like this. But he didn't understand. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others knew it well, or they saw through Yuan Shao's tricks at the first time, so they would not be fooled at all.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. This strategy itself is not wrong, and it is enough to deceive many Allied generals willing to risk their lives to volunteer to fight. However, this matter depends on who made a promise in public, whether the person said it would do his best, and keep his promise.

It is obvious that no one stood up at this moment when Yuan Shao offered a heavy reward, which itself can illustrate the problem.

Perhaps Yuan Shao had completely forgotten that in the past, when Chenliu met, he had promised rewards countless times in front of the eighteen princes. As a result, the princes of each town sent out their powerful warriors to fight bloody battles, but after the war, none of these promises were fulfilled and all failed. Not only that, Yuan Shao not only did not fulfill the reward promise, but instead conspired with Yuan Shu to seize the food, grass and weapons of the princes of each town. In the end, the Chenliu alliance began to start and end, the alliance army fell apart, and the princes dispersed in dissatisfaction.

The past is still in front of him, but now Yuan Shao has re-used the same trick again and gave a lot of money to encourage the generals under the tent of the princes in other towns to come out to fight. It has to be said that Yuan Shao is really overestimating his credibility. Don’t you know that most of the six princes standing beside him are allies of the Chenliu Alliance in the past, that is, those who have been deceived by him once. Now that the old things are mentioned again, how can Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others be deceived again? Who would still believe his promise?

However, Yuan Shao had already forgotten all the past and would never have thought that his reputation in Liu Bei and others was inferior. Therefore, he was still thinking about countermeasures at this moment, without knowing that he had been kept in the dark. In fact, the problem lies with him.

Seeing Yuan Shao's gloomy side face, Liu Bei whispered: "Don't worry about the leader. General Yan Liang is very skilled in martial arts. He just now used one to fight three. He also used one to fight three, and then cut Hu Zhen and Yang Ding's two generals under the knife, and then defeated Gan Ning. He was sure to win. Now Li Zhe sent two generals to fight, and it seems that it was just a repeat of the same mistake. It would be not to worry about adding two heads to General Yan Liang's knife."

"Huh?" Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard the sound, and immediately turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and said in a deep voice in a bad tone: "Wen Chou Yan Liang is my general of Jizhou. Now Wen Chou is dead, Yan Liang must not make any mistakes. No matter what martial arts skills the two enemy generals sent to fight this time, I, Yuan Shao, cannot sit idly by and watch."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao's words turned sharply and said sternly: "Liu Bei obeys the order! This leader of the alliance ordered you to fight quickly and save Yan Liang, no mistakes must be made!"

"Ah! This???" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this and looked at Yuan Shao in surprise. However, he saw that Yuan Shao looked remarkable and there was no doubt that he would immediately turn his back on his face if he had a disagreement.

Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but be angry, resentful, but he was scrupled, and did not dare to turn against Yuan Shao on the spot. After weighing the gains and losses, he turned his head gloomy and said in a gull: "Liu Bei is obeying the order of the leader of the alliance, so that my third brother Zhang Fei will come out to fight!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and the anger on his face disappeared without a trace. He said with a smile: "It's good, it's good for Xuande. Without further ado, please let Xuande let Ling go to the battle as soon as possible."

"No, the leader is waiting for a while and you'll go back." Liu Bei answered casually, and immediately pulled his horse back into the formation and headed to the Xuzhou military formation.

Seeing Liu Bei leave, a trace of helplessness flashed through Yuan Shao's eyes, and he thought to himself: "Wen Chou Yan Liang is the two most powerful generals under my command. Now Wen Chou has died in battle. Although Yan Liang killed Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, he has been unable to take down Gan Ning for a long time. This shows that the generals under Li Zhe are indeed extremely powerful. Gan Ning is now in danger. The two generals sent by Li Zhe must be of high martial arts skills at this time, and their combat power is very likely to be above Gan Ning. Such two powerful enemy generals, perhaps Yan Liang is still unable to match, let alone other generals in Jizhou?

Love has to be done, so I can only use the power of the princes to save Yan Liang. Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, don’t let me down.”
