Chapter 390: The position of alliance leader is in hand

proposed to Lu Bu to form a coalition army, and euphemistically expressed his desire to serve as the commander of the coalition army, and then Lu Bu happily expressed his resolute support for General Shang!

Lu Bu is still a little self-aware, knowing that even if the coalition army is formed, the commander of the coalition army cannot be himself, although because of the player, Lu Bu's name as the god of war is also widely spread among the aborigines, but after all, there is no record that can be taken at present, and the player's words alone are not enough to convince the public.

In addition, this time Lu Bu's headquarters only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he can't subdue everyone at all, since he has no hope of being the commander of the coalition forces, he naturally chooses someone close to him to be the commander!

Compared with Chun Yuqiong, who has never met in person, it is obvious that it is more in the interests of Lu Bu to choose Shang Ji.

easily got Lu Bu, and Shang Ji quickly contacted Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei.

In order to maintain timely contact with Liu Bei, Shang Ji sent envoys to Liu Bei's army, who were specifically responsible for Shang Ji's communication with Liu Bei.

The envoy relayed his meaning to Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei discussed and decided with Gongsun Zhan. In essence, Liu Bei persuaded Gongsun Zan to support Shang Ji!

Liu Bei's headquarters has fewer soldiers and horses, only more than 20,000 people, which is the weakest of the five reinforcements, so naturally there is no hope of competing for the position of alliance leader. Gongsun Chan can barely earn a handful, but Gongsun Chan's hope is not great, after all, merit, official position, prestige, and the army are all crushed by Shang Ji, and Gongsun Chan will not be self-sufficient and tough with Shang Ji as long as his brain is normal.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Bei to send back the news that Gongsun Zhan also supported Shang Ji as the leader of the alliance and presided over the crusade against the moth thieves.

Easily and happily got the three-way reinforcements, and there was only one way left for the most rare imperial court.

In order to show his sincerity, Shang Ji took Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, and by the way, he also pulled Lu Bu, who had nothing to do, and took 10,000 black armor Xuan cavalry elites to Chun Yuqiong's department.

Chun Yuqiong was very surprised by Shang Ji's arrival, but still warmly and solemnly entertained the group.

Although Liu Hong showed great jealousy of Shang Ji before, but the current situation has deteriorated to such a point, no one can say what the fate of the Han Dynasty is, and all the court officials have their own thoughts, and Chun Yuqiong will not offend Shang Ji for no reason.

At the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, Shang Ji slowly proposed to form a coalition army, and all departments coordinated the advance and retreat to fully support Lu Zhi's plan.

Chun Yuqiong naturally recognized the formation of reinforcements, after all, the more than 800,000 troops, without a unified planning and command, were easily broken by Zhang Liang seizing the opportunity. Although Chun Yuqiong's strategic vision is not high, at least he is not stupid, and he still understands such a simple truth.

However, as Shang Ji expected, Chun Yuqiong also had thoughts about the position of the leader of the coalition forces!

It's normal to have ideas, but it's wrong to have no ideas.

In any case, he is also the commander of more than 800,000 elite troops, although he is only a nominal commander, but it also makes many people drool. What's more, Chun Yuqiong also has a natural identity advantage - he represents the central army of the imperial court, and he is naturally more qualified than the local county soldiers like Shang Ji.

However, since Shang Ji has come to the door, he naturally has a killer feature.

"Since General Chun Yu intends to serve as the leader of the alliance and lead all the departments to fight against the moth thieves, we naturally dare not disobey!" Shang Ji first stood up and bowed, and then continued: "Ran Ji led his division on an expedition, fought for thousands of miles, and destroyed more than a million moth thieves along the way, but the imperial court did not support a grain or armor.

Now in the department, there is a shortage of food and grass, the armor is broken, and the soldiers have no blood to serve the country, but there is no food to eat and no weapons to use. Now that the general has served as the leader of the alliance, I also ask the general to have mercy and give him food, grass and soldiers, so that the headquarters can continue to serve the imperial court! ”

"General Mingjian, the Buzhi Department has been out of food for three days, if there is no more food and grass relief, I am afraid of a catastrophe!"

Seeing Shang Ji crying poor, Lu Bu immediately understood, and hurriedly followed.

Chun Yuqiong looked at the two shameless people in front of her, and couldn't wait to slap them to death!

I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless!

The armor is still broken, and the food and grass are not enough, don't I really see the 10,000 well-equipped and murderous strong troops outside the camp? Your army has no food and no equipment! There is a shortage of money and food, and you can still pull out 300,000 elite cavalry in shortage? What a fool I am!

Suppressing the anger, Chun Yuqiong squeezed out a smile and said: "The two of you are relieved, as long as you kill the moth thief, you will be set to ask Your Majesty for merit, and at that time, do you want any reward!" ”

"Your Majesty clearly sees that there are clear rewards and punishments, and we naturally know. However, the lack of food in the army is imminent, and there is no food and grass relief, I am afraid that it will not last for seven days. ”

Shang Ji's face was full of sorrow, as if he was really poor enough to be pants.

"Why don't you support General Shang 500,000 and General Lu 100,000 stone grain and grass first?"

Chun Yuqiong said weakly.

However, this was exchanged for the contempt of Shang Ji and Lu Bu.

"The general has received it, but 500,000 grains and grass, I'm afraid it can only support the consumption of the Jizhi Department for two days, and I ask the general to allocate more!"

Shang Ji is not just talking about it, the food and grass consumption of the Shang Ji army is really similar to what he said!

300,000 soldiers, each of whom is a terrifying pot-bellied man, at least two catties of polished rice, one catty of beef and mutton, and some fruits and vegetables by the way.

However, compared to people, the real consumption is the war horse!

300,000 high-quality war horses, the daily need of grain and grass is an astronomical amount, and 500,000 stone grain and grass will be consumed in almost two days.

Chun Yuqiong also knows the terrifying consumption of the high-level army, otherwise he would not seem so lacking in confidence.

It's just that it's impossible to let him take out more grain and grass, all the logistics of the army he led are directly supplied by Luoyang, but it is only supplied according to the scale of 200,000 northern troops, and no more!

The promise to Shang Ji and Lu Bu had already been squeezed out by him through gritted teeth, although he and the Chunyu family he belonged to had money and food, how could he possibly pay for the imperial army by himself? It is already good not to deduct the soldiers' military salaries, food and grass, and it is impossible to expect him to post the money upside down!

Chun Yuqiong's face suddenly became gloomy, the matter was already obvious, if you want to be the leader of this alliance, you must come up with enough grain and grass, otherwise you will not stop looking at the posture of Lu Bu and Shang Ji.

Even if Chun Yuqiong gritted her teeth and took out this grain and grass out of her own pocket, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan would definitely have to bleed again, is a nominal alliance leader worth the price?

After pondering in his heart for a while, Chun Yuqiong still chose to give up: "The general said that he was joking, the general is famous, he has the merit of slashing and even the company, and he is also the official to the Liaodong Taishou and the general of Dangkou, no matter what, this alliance leader needs a general!" ”
