It's a pity that Sun Ce's reputation is not obvious at the moment, and he belongs to the type of people with no family background, so there is a long prefix in front of his name when he is reported.Because Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, is still remembered by many people, the name of the Jiangdong Tiger is by no means a false name, but a punch and a kick.In particular, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu in this alliance were deeply impressed by Sun Jian. The first prince who led his troops to attack Luoyang City in the past was Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River.

Compared with Sun Jian, Sun Ce is really unknown at this time, and he is not a prince along the way, but a general who came to the alliance on behalf of Yuan Shu.It can be seen that there is no comparison between Sun Ce and his father at all, and there is a huge gap.If his father, Sun Jian, came to the alliance, even if he brought only 2000 people, he would not be ranked last among the princes, and his ranking would definitely be ahead of the Black Mountain Bandit and the White Wave Bandit.

However, when Xu You read it just now, it was considered a meritorious deed. When he reported Sun Ce's name, he specifically pointed out that Sun Ce was the son of the late Sun Jian.This sentence alone is enough to make the hundreds of thousands of soldiers present remember Sun Ce's name.Then, as the news of the Hanoi League spread, it would not take long for Sun Ce's name to become widely known.

After Xu You finished speaking, he saw a group of orderly war cavalry slowly approaching the altar, and then several burly generals in high-quality armor got off their horses and strode to the front of the stage.It wasn't until this moment that the generals could see clearly what Sun Ce and the generals behind him looked like. Four of them were so conspicuous that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, Zhang Miao and the others were shocked, and a look appeared on their faces. The color of surprise.

If it is taken for granted that Yuan Shao and others are very unfamiliar with Sun Ce, then the four generals standing behind Sun Ce are quite familiar with them.Because these four people are currently more famous than Sun Ce, and they have become famous all over the world many years ago, and they are called the four generals under Sun Ce's command.Their names are ready to come out, they are: Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao. These four are all powerful fighters who have followed Sun Jian for many years and became famous all over the world almost at the same time as Sun Jian.

"The four generals under Sun Jian's command are here, what a surprise!" On the high platform of the altar, Cao Cao looked down at the four Jiangdong generals below the stage, and said in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Then he turned his head and asked Yuan Shao softly: "Brother Benchu, why didn't you see Sun Ce at the banquet last night? Could it be that he came here in a hurry this morning and hasn't arrived at the camp last night?"

Yuan Shao was slightly stunned when he heard the words, his eyes fluttered and he didn't meet Cao Cao's eyes, and said in a low voice, "No, they all rushed to the camp at noon yesterday. Last night, the commander-in-chief hosted a banquet, and the guests were all princes from all walks of life. Sun Ce It's just a lieutenant under Yuan Gonglu's account, not qualified to come to the banquet. Therefore, the servant under the account didn't notify him to come, so Meng De naturally couldn't see Sun Ce, and even I didn't know about the four-member war team under Sun Jian's account in the past. I will come to the Daying League. If I knew they were coming, I would make an exception and invite them to the banquet, so that they can do their best to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!"

After Cao Cao heard the words, he frowned slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Ce under the stage, and then said in a low voice: "I remember that Sun Jian once reprimanded Li Ru in the past, saying that a tiger father has no dogs. From my point of view, this Sun Ce is very brave and powerful." He has the air of a general in his every move, and he should be quite a brave man. Therefore, at Cao's unfeeling request, today he asked Sun Ce to take the stage to form an alliance with us, and let him replace Yuan Shu's vacant prince. I don't know What do you think, Brother Benchu?"

"This,,, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Yuan Shao hesitated in surprise.However, when he saw Cao Cao's resolute expression, he nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, because Meng De interceded for him, let him take the stage and replace Yuan Shu as a prince!"

Chapter 614

After the blood-drinking alliance ceremony, the eight princes who came to the alliance formally formed an alliance.

Although the members of the Allied Forces are extremely diverse, good and bad are mixed, and weapons and equipment are very different, after the alliance is formed, it is an extremely large and powerful alliance army.

The Allied Army of the Eighth Route Princes sounds far less powerful than the Eighteenth Route Princes' campaign against Dong Zhuo five years ago, but it is actually not the case.

From the perspective of the number of troops alone, the strength of the allied forces this time is higher than that of the Chen Liuhui League in the past.

In the past, most of the eighteen princes of the Chenliu Huimeng raised their troops hastily. Among the princes, there were as many as 40 to 50 soldiers and horses, and as few as a few thousand. Therefore, the sum of all soldiers and horses was about [-]. As many as [-] people.

From the point of view of generals and weapons, there is a huge gap between the allied army of the Central Plains princes and the army of the past, almost incomparable.

At that time, the Eighteenth Route princes raised their troops hastily and formed an alliance in a hurry. Many of the princes' soldiers and horses were recruited temporarily from the countryside. Their weapons and armor were extremely poor and they lacked training.The reason why the Chenliuhuimeng was able to win was because of its great momentum and large numbers of people. Of course, there were also elite soldiers who were capable of recruiting and fighting.

At the same time, there are now much more generals under the command of the Eighth Route princes than Chen Liuhuimeng in the past.At that time, there were not many generals under the command of the princes from all walks of life, just like Yuan Shao had only general Yan Liangwen Chou under his command, and the remaining generals such as Zhang Xi, Gao Lan, Han De, Jiang Qi and other generals had not yet joined his command; not only Yuan Shao was like this, but the others The same is true of the princes of Lu.Because of this, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were given the opportunity to show their skills, and then became famous in one fell swoop.If it is changed to the present, there are as many as hundreds of famous generals among the allied forces of Hanoi princes, and Lu Bu is among them.How could it be the turn of the brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang to become famous?

During the alliance in Hanoi, the princes of the Eight Routes boarded the altar to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and made an alliance with blood.Yuan Shao of Jizhou was elected as the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou was elected as the deputy leader of the alliance. The allied army has a total of 47 troops, which is known as 70 to the outside world.It can be said that the flags are flying endlessly, the soldiers are so dense that they cover the sky and the sun, the momentum is huge and earth-shattering, and the might of the soldiers shakes the world.

The most eye-catching scene during this period is that Sun Ce, the son of the Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian, took the place of Yuan Shu to the altar to worship heaven.Stand side by side with the princes of the Seven Routes, and form an alliance with blood.With this, Sun Ce came to prominence and was known by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Allied Army, and then spread throughout the counties of Sili.Then it spread to all states and counties in the world.However, what people in the world don't know is that Sun Ce's ascension to the altar was just Yuan Shao's temporary intention.All because of Cao Cao's one word of advice.

Commander of the Chinese Army.

After the altar blood for alliance is over.The princes from all walks of life walked into the big tent one after another, and Sun Ce was among them.

"Thank you, General Cao, for your words of help. Don't say thank you for your great kindness. I will wait for Sun Ce to repay you in the future!" Sun Ce hurried to Cao Cao's side, and Sun Ce bowed and said gratefully.

Cao Cao stopped when he heard the sound.Standing at the door of the handsome tent, he looked sideways at the heroic Sun Ce with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Bo Fu doesn't need to thank you, it's just a little effort, nothing to worry about."

After a pause in tone.Cao Cao said with great emotion: "In the past, Cao had a close personal relationship with your father Sun Jian, and they jointly attacked Luoyang. Then they borrowed [-] cavalry from your father to chase and kill Dong Zhuo, and fought against the Xiliang army in Xingyang. Unfortunately, in that battle, Cao Cao A certain man was outnumbered and came back in a big defeat, with all his soldiers and horses destroyed. Today, I saw Bo Fu's majestic appearance and extraordinary power, as if Sun Jian, a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, came in person. His nephew's appearance was very similar to his father's. His intelligence is not inferior to that of your lord, Sun Jian. Such a talent is exactly what our allied forces urgently need, and as the saying goes, one does not shy away from one’s relatives, and Cao’s recommendation of a good nephew to the altar is also out of a public heart and is not afraid of people’s words!"

Inadvertently, Cao Cao already treated Sun Ce as a younger nephew in his eloquence, and his affection was so sincere that it was moving.

"Mr. Cao has won the award." After hearing the words, Sun Ce felt very kind to Cao Cao, subconsciously used the honorific title, bowed and said: "My nephew was reckless and reckless before. Please forgive me, Mr. Cao!"

"Nephew, you don't need to be polite, that's too serious." Cao Cao hurriedly reached out his hand to hold Sun Ce, and said with a smile: "Nephew is the son of an old friend, and we hit it off right away. We are not outsiders, so there is no need to be courteous."

While speaking, Cao Cao and Sun Ce walked towards the big tent, and said as they walked, "I heard that Bo Fu inherited your father's last wish and led his troops back to Jiangdong. I don't know why he is now under Yuan Shu's command?"

Sun Ce's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice with shame on his face: "I'm ashamed to say that my nephew wanted to follow my father's behest and stationed in Jiangdong, but the county guards in Jiangdong bullied me when I was young and couldn't tolerate it. In desperation, The younger nephew had to lead his troops to live in Xuzhou, but after some misunderstandings, he was forced by Tao Qian to go to Yuan Shu's command to settle down. Leader Yuan invites you, and the kindness is hard to turn down. But I, Sun Ce, have a deep hatred with Xiliang Li Li, so I asked the lord to lead the troops to come to the alliance, and vowed to kill Li thief. Seeing that I have made up my mind, the lord dispatched Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are with me, so I will form an alliance on behalf of the lord, and together with all the princes, attack Li thief!"

"So that's how it is." Cao Cao's expression moved slightly, a strange look flashed across his eyes, and he asked casually, "My nephew and Thief Li have a deep hatred, why have I never heard of it before? I wonder if my nephew can tell me?"

Sun Ce's expression changed when he heard that, his face was as gloomy as ice, and he said in a deep voice with rather dissatisfied: "There is nothing wrong with telling others about this matter. Even if I don't say it myself, Duke Cao will surely know about it later. Duke Cao has heard of it before." Who is Zhou Yu?"

"Ah?" Cao Cao was surprised when he heard the sound, and said anxiously, "I've heard of Zhou Yu's name Cao, not only me, but all the princes here know his name."

"Why? In just a few months, how could everyone know about Yangzhou?" Sun Ce interrupted with a look of astonishment.

Seeing the expression on Sun Ce's face, Cao Cao knew that Sun Ce must not have known about the Battle of the Blue Wolf Valley, otherwise he would not have asked this question.However, he could see some clues from Sun Ce's expression and behavior. The relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu must be unusual, and they seemed to be very familiar.

Cao Cao was quite surprised by this, and immediately sat down with Sun Ce on the left side of the big tent, and explained in a low voice: "My nephew is far away in Yangzhou, and I don't know much about the current situation in Xiliang. You may not know that just a month ago, Thief Li Appoint Zhou Yu as the main general, and lead 11 Xiliang iron cavalry to attack the Southern Huns. Half a month ago, Zhou Yu led his troops to fight against the Yufuluo barbarian army in the Qinglang Valley, annihilating [-] barbarians in one fell swoop, and then chased and killed them all the way. Fu Luo's army threw away their helmets and armor, and ran for their lives in a hurry. Therefore, Zhou Gongjin became famous in the battle of Qinglang Valley, and became famous in all the states of the Central Plains. He is actually the number one commander of the army under Li Thief."

"There is such a thing?" After hearing the words, Sun Ce's expression quickly dimmed, as if lost.Dazed.

Cao Cao's heart was moved when he saw it, and he asked softly: "My nephew just said that he has enmity with Thief Li. Could it be because of Zhou Yu?"

"Oh, Mr. Cao's eyes are like torches, that's true." Sun Ce woke up when he heard the sound.He said with a gloomy face and anger: "To be honest, I have known Gong Jin for many years. We are like brothers. We swear to live and die together. Unexpectedly, Thief Li heard of Gong Jin's name when he was traveling in Yangzhou. Jin, forcing Gongjin to use him. When I heard the news and led the troops to intercept it, it was too late, Li thief had already returned to Chang'an. Gongjin was also forced by Li thief to join the Xiliang army. Li thief's move It is tantamount to snatching my brother and bullying me too much, if I don't take revenge, how can I, Sun Ce, have the face to live in this world?"

Cao Cao was astonished when he heard this.He looked at Sun Ce suspiciously, but didn't take Sun Ce's words seriously.

If everything was as Sun Ce said, Li Li hijacked Zhou Yu and returned to Xiliang, and then forced Zhou Yu to join the Xiliang army, so how could Li Li use Zhou Yu to lead the army alone to fight the barbarian army?Could it be that there is something wrong with Li thief's brain, knowing that Zhou Yu is not willing to serve, but still entrusts him with important tasks and grants military power?

Obviously, the answer is no.Xiliang Li Li is not stupid, on the contrary, he is as cunning as a fox, treacherous and wise, and his strategy is like the sea, unfathomable.If not, why would the princes of the Central Plains join forces to deal with Li Li?

Therefore, Cao Cao did not believe what Sun Ce said at all, and believed that the facts were exactly the opposite of what Sun Ce said.Zhou Yu must have turned his back on Sun Ce and was willing to join Li Li's command. Only in this way can he gain Li Li's trust, and then entrust him with the important task of leading an army to fight alone.However, Cao Cao could see from Sun Ce's angry expression that he hated Li Li deeply, and the source of the hatred was Zhou Yu.And this is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see. The enemy's enemy is an ally and can be used by me.

"Bo Fu don't need to get angry, let's bear it for a while, and don't be impatient." Seeing Sun Ce's fury, Cao Cao comforted him: "Now is a golden opportunity. Our allied army has 50 troops, which is almost twice the size of the Xiliang army. , It is entirely possible to kill Li thief in one fell swoop. At this grand event, it is a great opportunity for Bofu to make achievements on the battlefield and become famous all over the world. As long as we can defeat the Xiliang army, why worry about Li thief not being wiped out? Once Li thief is killed, Zhou Yu Naturally, you will be able to get out of trouble and return to Bofu's side, and then you brothers will be able to fight side by side again and make contributions."

Cao Cao's voice fell, but Yuan Shao, who was sitting high on the high-ranking commander, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "Generals, now we have 50 soldiers. The heroes gather together, and there are thousands of generals. So far, most of them The whole world is already under our feet, and there is only a small piece of state and county that can be taken at the fingertips. After the Li thief is wiped out, the great Han country will be in the pockets of all generals!"

While speaking, Yuan Shao raised his wine bottle and stood up, "You generals, drink this bottle with me. I wish our allied forces will be invincible and defeat Li's Xiliang army!"

"Please!" All the princes under the tent stood up and raised their bottles to return the gift, and then drank it all in one gulp, and then took their seats.

Yuan Shao nodded and sat down with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Now that the allied forces have assembled, the army is ready to go. I think Cao Cao, the deputy leader of the alliance, is in charge of planning the war, and General Zhang Yang of Hanoi is in charge of the food and supplies of the allied forces. Fenwei General Lu Bu is the vanguard general, and tomorrow the army will swear to go out!"

"Wait a minute!" Just as Yuan Shao's voice paused, Sun Ce, who was sitting next to Cao Cao, suddenly got up and interjected: "The last general invites Ying to be the vanguard of the Allied Army, and lead the troops to fight first!"

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Little Sun Ce, do you dare to look down on me?"

"The vanguard of the Allied Forces is for those who are capable. If Marquis Wen is unwilling to give in, I am willing to learn Marquis Wen's clever tricks!" Sun Ce provocatively refused to give up an inch and showed no weakness.

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the big tent froze instantly, and the princes from all walks of life fell silent. They looked at Sun Ce in shock, and secretly wondered in their hearts: "This is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!"

Chapter 615 Sun Ce Challenges Lu Fengxian

(Thanks: book friends can see Tianchi Mountain, warman7956 book friend monthly ticket support, thank you!)

When the princes from all walks of life in the big tent looked at Sun Ce in surprise, Cao Cao, who was sitting above Sun Ce, frowned slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.Then he sat upright and poured himself a drink with a calm expression, as if everything was in the palm of his hand.

In the commander-in-chief, Yuan Shao's face was as deep as water, and an angry look flashed across his eyes. He was about to reprimand Sun Ce sharply, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Cao Cao's calm expression.

In an instant, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, and immediately swallowed back the words stuck in his throat, then lowered his head and pretended to be contemplative, noncommittal to Sun Ce's initiative to invite Ying to be the vanguard of the Allied Forces, clearly letting Lu Bu handle the matter by himself.

As for Lu Bu's reaction to Sun Ce's public provocation, the princes sitting in the big tent knew it well, and the result was self-evident.

However, the princes from all walks of life are willing to watch, and no one will interrupt at this time, because speaking at this time is easy to offend people, and even both sides are not pleasing.In their view, Sun Ce's move was obviously to use Lv Bu's name to immediately establish his prestige in front of the allied princes and soldiers, so as to gain a firm foothold and make everyone dare not despise him.It's a pity that Sun Ce chose the wrong target for Liwei. There is a price to be paid for provoking Lu Bu, and the price is extremely high, directly related to his own life.
