Strange World: Game Contract

Chapter 60 is to cheat Yuan Shu
In order to preserve his military strength, Dong Zhuo asked Guo Si to return to defend Luoyang. He now regards Luoyang as his last place to save his life.

The princes from all walks of life rise up, but Wanshan is not in a hurry, because they hold the emperor in their hands, they can coerce the emperor to order the princes, and they can still issue emperor orders to make all parties fight each other.

Moreover, he also knows that once the benefits are gone, the princes of all parties will fall into war again. After all, everyone wants the top of power.

And Ning Bufan also knew that the problem he was facing now was how to get the emperor out, and he was also worried that Dong Zhuo and other mermaids would be defeated.

Or there is another way, which is to rescue a certain prince from Luoyang City and respect him as the emperor. In this way, between the two emperors, it depends on which one supports more.

After the danger on Yuan Shao's side was lifted, Yuan Shu was also safe and sound. At this time, the two brothers started acting like monsters.

Because Ma Teng asked them for a total of 40 shi of food and grass, and now the two brothers want Ma Teng to return some.

Who would agree to such a thing?

Ning Bufan had long guessed that these two brothers would not care about so many major world affairs because they were greedy for profit. The only thing they cared about was their own interests.

If you want to truly control the world, you need to get rid of people like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Just at this time, Liu Guanzhang and the others came to Ma Teng's army and expressed their willingness to contribute part of their strength to Ma Teng.

Liu Bei brought 1000 people to join him.

After Ning Bufan learned about it, he immediately knew that Liu Bei had no choice but to rely on him because he had no money or food.

Ning Bufan, who has read the story of the Three Kingdoms, knows how big Liu Bei's heart is.

However, since talents are coming, it is natural to treat them with courtesy, and more talents will join in the future. In this way, in the end, Luoyang can be surrounded and forced Dong Zhuo to surrender.

Ning Bufan gave Liu Bei a hundred stones of food and grass without saying anything.

Zhang Yide saw that Ning Bufan was so generous, he also said bluntly: "My old Zhang is a bold person, he can say what he wants, you are a good young military advisor, and you are much more trustworthy than the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu." .”

Ning Bufan chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just doing what I can do."

Liu Bei stood up and cupped his fists and said, "I've heard for a long time that General Ma Teng has a far-sighted military advisor beside him. It's a great fortune to see him today."

Ning Bufan nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

In fact, Ma Teng has always been worried about the issue of food and grass. He knew that Ning Bufan sent people to distribute the food and grass pried from the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to the victims. In fact, the food and grass left by the Xiliang Army can only last three moon.

Ma Teng kept this news in his heart and did not tell Ma Chao, but Ning Bufan.

Unexpectedly, there was already a shortage of food and grass, so Ning Bufan also gave a hundred stones of food and grass to Liu Bei, which was really heartbreaking.

After eating, drinking, and making peace, Ma Teng sent everyone away, and then said to Ning Bufan: "Commander, we don't have much food and grass left, but there are countless heroes who have come to surrender. I'm worried that there will be no food and grass by then. These Talented people will all leave again.”

"So, I want to discuss with you, can we take out 30 shi for the relief of the victims and keep them in the army, and use the other [-] shi for the victims."

Ning Bufan naturally knew what Ma Teng was worried about, and he replied: "Master, 40 stones of food and grass are enough for the victims in the Central Plains to survive this troubled autumn. If there are no people, then what is the point of us protecting the emperor? Isn't the Han Dynasty deceiving themselves and others?"

Then, Ning Bufan said seriously: "I know we still have three months of food and grass, so if we want to have more material reserves, we need to expand."

"Expansion?" Ma Teng didn't understand. How could this expand?

Ning Bufan chuckled and said: "Jizhou and Nanyang are very rich, and the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have a very good family background, so you understand."

Ma Teng immediately understood that this so-called expansion was originally the idea of ​​the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

But wouldn’t this mean we have to fight with each other again?
Ma Teng told Ning Bufan his inner worries.

Ning Bufan said confidently: "If you want to send troops to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, you need to find a reasonable excuse. At the same time, we were forced to fight against them."

"In other words, we need to arouse the hatred and anger in the hearts of every Xiliang soldier."

Ma Teng was a little confused, how to do this?

Ning Bufan immediately smiled, "Of course it can be done, we can join forces to attack Hulao Pass."

"However, the leader this time can no longer be Yuan Shao, but should be you, my lord."

Ma Teng immediately said: "If you are the leader of the alliance, you will have to entertain the princes of all parties. We only have three months of food and grass, how can we use it?"

Ning Bufan said: "Don't worry, the grain and grass for three months is enough. If it is really not enough, you can temporarily use the 40 shi to help the victims of the disaster."

Hearing what Ning Bufan said, Ma Teng immediately nodded and agreed to Ning Bufan's plan.

As a result, an alliance was launched to all the princes in the world, and countless people came to seek refuge with Ma Teng.

Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, and others responded one after another.

Among these crowds, Ning Bufan met Pan Feng, the grand prize winner.

But this time, Yuan Shao didn't come.

It's no wonder that the previous leader of the alliance was Yuan Shao. After suffering a defeat, now that he is organizing an alliance again, Yuan Shao's reputation has long been lost.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, refused to respond to the alliance on the grounds of repairing armaments.

Today, Ma Teng has gathered 50 troops, while Dong Zhuo's total troops are only 20.

However, Ning Bufan did not think about using these 50 people to fight for his life, but had other plans.

He also directly called Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and others to his side and said that he wanted to get rid of Yuan Shu in Nanyang.

In the first alliance before, Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied with Sun Jian's actions of withholding food and grass and refusing to pay the army. However, Yuan Shu was also a prince along the way, so Sun Jian had nowhere to vent his anger.

Now, Ning Bufan gave Sun Jian this opportunity, and Sun Jian responded immediately. He said: "I am willing to be a vanguard and go to Nanyang."

Ning Bufan knew that if Yuan Shu was destroyed first, Yuan Shao would not dare to do anything, because the hatred between Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo was absolutely impossible to form an alliance, so he could only watch helplessly and had nothing to say.

Gongsun Zan also agreed with Ning Bufan's idea, and a war against Yuan Shu quietly kicked off.

In order to trick Yuan Shu into coming to Hulao Pass, Ning Bufan asked Yuan Shao to be the leader again on the grounds that the walls of Hulao Pass were high and the soldiers suffered heavy losses.

Yuan Shao refused, saying that he did not want to repeat the same mistakes, and he said that he thanked everyone for their trust in him.

So Yuan Shao contributed [-] shi of grain and grass as a subsidy after some touting.
