Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213 Soldiers Send Luoyang
Cao Cao's move also gave Yuan Shao a step down, and at the same time gave Liu He face. It was a farce that ended with the slaughter of the dog.

Everyone sat down again, and after this commotion, they all lowered their heads and thought about their own thoughts, the atmosphere was not as enthusiastic as before, this meeting, from the very beginning, seemed to be at odds with each other.

Bao Xin, who had just been promoted to Jibei Prime Minister, saw that the situation was not good, so he got up and said: "Masters of the Ming Dynasty, it is unfortunate for the Han Dynasty today, and the Emperor Gang is out of order. We, Xingyi Teachers, are hunting for thieves. We should work together and put state affairs first. Those who have two ambitions should be discussed as Dong Bandit and the same party, and the whole world will discuss it."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, looked around, and then said: "The position of leader has not been decided just now, you can recommend it first, and we will discuss it together."

Seeing that Liu He had the upper hand, Liu Bei said immediately: "Liu Boxing was the first to launch a volunteer army, defeated the Xiliang army, and is the queen of Beihai King Gong, so he can be the leader of the alliance."

He was really worried about Liu He just now, and seeing Liu He's witty resolution, he was deeply impressed, and recommending Liu He at this time is also to repay the previous recommendation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kuang said: "Yuan Benchu ​​killed ten regular servants and fought against Dong Zhuo with his sword. He is also the fourth generation and three princes, and has many old officials. Only when he is the leader of the alliance can he serve the people."

Everyone quarreled again, but overall, it was obvious that most people supported Yuan Shao, which showed the prestige of the Yuan family's connections.

Cao Cao was frowning to weigh, but he saw Liu He standing up, clasped his fists and said: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and my prestige is not enough to convince the public. I would like to respect Yuan Benchu ​​as the leader of the alliance."

"This..." Yuan Shaozheng couldn't help but glared at Liu He, but he didn't expect that the other party would give up the position of leader, he was a little surprised and sat there stunned.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Since Boxing sincerely backed down, Brother Benchu ​​must be the leader of the alliance."

Liu He also nodded and said: "Dong Zhuo heard the news, he must have summoned troops in Luoyang, and the troops will be dispatched soon. You don't have to be humble, you should send troops earlier."

Yuan Shao's face was awkward, he got up and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Boxing Chengquan, for the previous offense, I still look at Haihan."

Liu He smiled lightly: "Everyone is here to help the royal family and save the people of the world. Our goal is Dong Zhuo, so we should fight against the bandits together."

Yuan Shao nodded, but gave in a bit, everyone unanimously recommended Yuan Shao, and then agreed, and built an earthen platform outside the camp that day, Yuan Shao led his own chariot and rode the general, and everyone swore an oath of blood.

Because there are [-] troops, [-] to [-] horses, the number of soldiers and horses varies from route to route, and the statistics of the soldiers and horses are first reported that night, and it is decided to raise the account and discuss the next day, and assign tasks to attack Luoyang.

This time there were more than [-] princes seeking Dong. In addition to Gongsun Zan's remnants of Zhang Ju's conquest in Qingzhou, there were two more troops, Liu He and Liu Bei.

Although Yuan Shu was no longer the prefect of Nanyang, he also recruited many soldiers and horses in Luyang. In addition, Liu Biao was unable to join the Dong Lianjun due to the new establishment of Jingzhou, so he also sent food and grass to support Sun Jian who had just gone north.

When they returned to the tent that night, Chen Gong and the others were greatly disappointed, and sighed: "Yuan Benchu ​​hasn't formed an alliance yet, so he's plotting in every possible way, I'm afraid it will be a disadvantage for him to succeed."

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "If the general hadn't stopped him, a certain knife would have taken the head of this thief."

Dian Wei was gnawing on a leg of lamb, and he still hadn't figured out why they were arguing in the tent. He asked Guan Yu twice, but Guan Yu refused to tell.

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly came to visit. After entering the tent, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, first killed Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and passed through Nanyang half a month ago. The money and food he asked for seemed to be against customers. Fortunately, Kuai Liang and Deng Zhi Now, I asked Liu Zhennan to transfer food and grass before sending him away. Now that he has entered Liang County, I want to return to Nanyang as soon as possible. Does my brother have any countermeasures?"

Liu He just remembered at this time that Sun Jian was also a ruthless person. He not only killed the governor of Jingzhou, but also the prefect of Nanyang. Now the prefect of Nanyang has become Liu Bei's territory. It seems to be slow to come.

Immediately said: "Don't worry about Xuande, Sun Jian is a hero, and his grievances and grievances are clear! He went north this time to attack Dong Zhuo, and killed Wang Rui to despise others and bring disaster on himself. Now that there is food and grass in the army, don't You will kill each other, and now you have just formed an alliance, if you leave before fighting, you will be laughed at, you just tell them to guard the city carefully, and when the time comes, I will try to let you go back to Nanyang first."

"Thank you so much, brother!" Liu Bei sighed helplessly, and left.

Back in the tent, after thinking about it again and again, he was still uneasy, discussed with Wei Yan and others, and decided to let Wenpin return to Nanyang overnight, the most important thing is to keep the foundation first.

On the second day, the three armies raised their accounts, and everyone sat down according to their titles and ages. Liu He's title was the highest, and he was the real Marquis of Fang Cheng, who still sat at the top.

Yuan Shao glanced at Liu He, and said loudly: "Although Shao is not talented, since Chenggong and others have elected him as the leader of the alliance, he should abide by military discipline, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Both are state affairs. I hope you will abide by military laws and not violate them."

Cao Cao said: "We will tell the world to seek thieves out of great righteousness. Since we have established an alliance leader, we should all obey our orders."

Yuan Shao said: "Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, sent someone to report this morning that he has marched in Liang County and is going to attack the Yang people and take Luochuan to contain Dong Zhuo's forces. We will face the Xiliang army head-on. Now General Liu has taken Xingyang. , who dares to go to Hulao Pass to challenge for the vanguard?"

Bao Xin was eager to make meritorious service, so he stepped forward and said: "A certain person is willing to be the front."

Yuan Shao caressed his beard and said: "General Bao alone may not be able to resist the Xiliang army, and another person is needed to assist."

Liu Bei also wanted to make some contributions as soon as possible so that he could return to Nanyang as soon as possible, so he stood up and said, "I wish to help General Bao go with me."

Yuan Shao felt relieved, nodded his head and said: "Since that's the case, let's take you two as the vanguard. Liu Boxing will meet you in Xingyang, and our army will arrive soon."

Liu He also came out to take orders. The three of them left the big tent first, and each leader rushed back to Xingyang to prepare.

Yuan Shao then ordered Governor Yuan Shu to provide food and grass to the camps, and the rest of the people from all walks of life then broke out from the camps and marched towards Chenggao.

At this time, Bao Xin had been promoted as the general who broke the captives, and another [-] soldiers were recruited from Mount Tai. The three of them came to Xingyang together, went out of the city to meet them, and discussed the matter of marching troops together.

Liu Heyan said: "Now that the princes from all walks of life are gathered together, Dong Zhuo must have already made preparations. Li Jue, the guard of Hulao Gate, is nothing to worry about, but Li Su escaped the day before yesterday. This man has a lot of strategies. You must be careful when you enter the army."

Hearing this, Bao Xin sneered and said, "If Yuan Benchu ​​had listened to my advice, he would have sent troops at the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into Luoyang. How could he be in trouble today? This is all due to hesitation and delays in fighting opportunities. Now that the princes are forming an alliance, the morale of the three armies is positive. Sheng, it is the time to enter the army and make meritorious service, so why hesitate?"

Liu Bei was also concerned about the situation in Nanyang and said: "We have asked ourselves to be the vanguard. If we stand still here and are overtaken by the army, won't we be laughed at by others?"

Liu He had no choice but to let them send troops first, and Yu Jin also followed Bao Xin. Only the troops he brought were left in the city, together with about [-] Xiliang surrendered troops, they stepped up their drills and waited for news from the former army.
