55. The Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance

"Phew~"

Galloping all the way, wrapped in the morning dew, Gongsun Chan and his party of more than 10,000 people rushed to the outside of Suozao County in the early morning of the next day.

At the sound of an order, the flag waved, the order was forbidden, and the whole army slowly stopped under the command, and camped in an orderly manner.

The wind and dust along the way made these battle-hardened warriors have a bit of wind and frost on their faces.

However, out of instinctive vigilance, they were still asked to be loyal to the guard, and stood guard outside the camp.

Soon, their eyes condensed...

"The person who came is the Marquis of Duting, Gongsun is too Shouhu~?" After a short time, a cavalry general wearing black armor, leading fifty horsemen, stopped in front of the gate of the camp outside Gongsun Zhan.

In front of him, under the vigilant gaze of a group of Gongsun Chan soldiers, he stepped forward alone and asked loudly.

"Who is this family?" Before Gongsun Chan could rest, he heard the call, frowned and patted his horse, staring at the other general.

"So that Gongsun Taishou knows that a certain Cao Ren, on the order of the military captain, came to meet the deployment of General Gongsun and his subordinates, and the squad went to the sour date alliance to be stationed in turn." The round face will smile faintly, arch his hands, and salute.

From here, it can be vaguely seen that Cao Cao is thoughtful and meticulous.

As the caller of this alliance, he sent his cronies Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Yuan to lead more than 1,000 soldiers to greet and entertain the princes who came to the alliance along the way.

Subtly, these courteous princes had a little more affection for Cao Cao's impression.

Don't underestimate these good feelings, many times, it is often possible to get the same courtesy because of a hint of good feelings.

At least, after his courteous attitude and promised to provide the grain and grass provided by Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Gongsun Zhan had a lot of good feelings for Cao Cao, whom he had not yet met.

Gongsun Zhan's ace elite horseman, the prestige of the white horse, Cao Cao has long heard of it.

In addition, he brought 15,000 soldiers to join the alliance, and for the sake of strength, he was arranged in the outer camp on the right side, and also served as the escort in the direction of this wing.

With the soldiers and horses of the princes who arrived one after another, the sour dates, which were still a little deserted, gradually became full of people.

Cao Cao erected the banner of uprising, but in half a month, all the princes of the world led troops and horses to Luoyang, and after a rough calculation, it was no less than 200,000 or 300,000.

Obviously, a vicious battle is inevitable!

The flag is all over the sky, the cooking smoke is filled, the major forces gather in one place, the village is connected with the village, the battalion is even the battalion, there is a tent within a hundred steps, the wolf chimney is stacked as far as the eye can see, the radius is ten miles continuous, and the spear and the hooves stand up with the spear.

In the camp, the sergeants and chariots attacking the horses and horses together, the momentum is like a rainbow, it is really a good military appearance.

Today, it's the center of attention.

Since Cao Cao raised the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo, the princes of various towns in the eastern part of the country have come here to meet the alliance, and for a time the soldiers and horses gathered, overwhelming, and the joint camp was dozens of miles long, and the momentum was extremely huge.

The first town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling.

The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao. The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan.

The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian.

The thirteenth town, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng. The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian. The seventeenth town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao.

plus the caller Cao Cao himself, a total of eighteen princes, in the sour jujube alliance!

The army and horses of all roads ranged from 30,000 to 120,000, and they all came to the alliance with civil and military generals.

After the alliance army and soldiers were united, the momentum burst out in an instant, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Although among these princes, there are powerful and domineering, there are also indiscriminate and indiscriminate, there are loyal ministers of the Han family who are bent on begging for thieves for the country, there are also speculators who come to fish in troubled waters, and there are also some ambitious heroes who are also mixed in.

If you use four words to describe this military group, it is - each with a ghost!

But I have to admit that this person has more momentum, and he really went up.

In the evening of the same day, the princes from all walks of life gathered together and held a grand banquet, the venue of the banquet was in Cao Cao's camp, on the one hand, everyone contacted their feelings, discussed the strategy of crusading against Dong Zhuo, and one more important thing was to elect the alliance leader!

The leaders and bigwigs all sat in high positions to discuss in detail, and Gao Zhi and many generals stood behind their own lords.

Gao Zhi pretended to stand coldly and listened to the braggadocio of these bigwigs, while secretly observing the appearance of these celebrities.

After some observation, he felt that these people were roughly divided into several types, loyal and old man type, representative figures: Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian and Beihai Taishou Kong Rong.

Fierce and brave type, representative figures: Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian and his own father-in-law Sun Zhan.

Little white face: Qixiang Hou Bohai Taishou, Yuan Shao, Shanyang Taishou, Yuan Yi, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu; The three of the Yuan family are all good-looking, and they are put on a modern date, with a proper little white face!

Finally, there is the bookish Kong Rong, it is said that this guy is still a direct descendant of Confucius, and he looks arrogant......

The rest... Needless to say!

It's all the public who run the show!

"Ladies and gentlemen! Now that the Han family is in decline, the traitor Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven and killed the minister, which made people and gods angry. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao, as the host, took the lead in standing up and talked about the necessity of this alliance, which can be regarded as unifying his thoughts in advance.

"It is incumbent upon Kuang to help the Han family!" The princes of the alliance suddenly roared in unison.

Anyway, this kind of political slogan that doesn't want money is not shouted in vain.

As for whether it will do it, only the ghost knows.

"Good! You are all loyal ministers and good generals of the Han Dynasty, but the snake is not headless, if you want to support the Han family and crusade against the Dong thief, we still need to elect an alliance leader, and the unified order is! Cao Cao still has the same style, and the conversation changed sharply and went straight to the point.

"Wow! …… Brush! There was a murmur in the tent, and then there was an eerie silence, and there was no sound except the crackling of the campfire!

After a while, everyone began to discuss, some recommended Yuan Shao, those who recommended Yuan Shu, and even those who did good things, recommended Cao Cao, the initiator of this time.

For a while, for the position of nominal alliance leader, everyone was divided into many disputes.

The brothers of the Yuan family almost didn't rub their noses and faces for this matter, and they blushed and blushed.

It was still under Cao Cao's initiative to retreat and persuade everyone to reluctantly elect Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.

In the end, the result was that Cao Cao, the supervising army, and Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tigers and the Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, were the vanguard officers, and the chaotic meeting could be over.

The people who calmed down, under Cao Cao's advocacy, prepared to take the lead in the first to attack Luoyang!
