The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Fifteen allied armies of princes gathered in Jujube with great momentum, their flags covering the sky and the sun, totaling 300,000 troops.

Everyone burned incense to worship God and Mother Earth, made blood alliances, and vowed to eliminate Dong Zhuo's forces, invade Luoyang City, and establish a new order.

"Everyone, it is a great pleasure for me, Yuan Shao, that we can sit here today and discuss important matters together. Please drink this cup to the full." Yuan Shao was aloof and domineering, as if the world was at his fingertips.

"Don't be anxious at this time. Since the Emperor ordered Qin Wang, why haven't the clan members from the four states arrived? Only my uncle is here." The speaker was Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, one of the five clan governors appointed by Emperor Ling. , he has the most noble status among the princes who came to the alliance this time.

"Uncle Liu Huang, Liu Yan from Yizhou sent a letter saying that he was seriously ill and was heading south to Shu, so he was unable to organize an army to join the alliance at the moment; Liu Yao from Yangzhou had to deal with the rebellion in Shanyue; Liu Yu from Youzhou was facing the rebellion of Goguryeo and Wuhuan. Double threat; Liu Biao of Jingzhou has no intention of sending troops because of the new death of his wife. The four of them all gave many excuses, but you are the only one who understands the righteousness and came to Suanzao. Yuan Shao admires you." After saying this, Yuan Shao stood up and bowed.

"Since it is an allied force, it must have an alliance leader. Who do you think is the suitable leader?" Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei, said.

"General Yuan Jiujiu, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, is the legitimate son of the Yuan family. I propose that Yuan Jiujiu should be the leader of the alliance." The person who spoke was Kong Rong.

Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, had always been on good terms with Yuan Shu. The two studied together when they were young, and Yuan Shu lived in Kong Rong's home. One day, a box of Nanyang Cuili was sent to Yuan Shu's hometown, and Yuan Shu shared it with his friend Kong Rong. Kong Rong only picked the smallest one. Yuan Shu was puzzled. Kong Rong replied that he was young so he ate the smaller pears and left the larger ones for his father and elder brother.

Yuan Shu was deeply moved and spread this story widely. Everyone in the world knew the reputation of "Kong Rong gives pear". Kong Rong benefited from this. When he became an adult, he was successfully elected as Xiaolian and started his official career. Therefore, Kong Rong has always regarded Yuan Shu as his benefactor. In this battle for alliance leader, he decided to support Yuan Shu to the end.

"Wen Ju's statement is wrong. If we talk about the Four Generations and Three Dukes, Benchu ​​was the eldest son of Yuan. His reputation was far-reaching, and most of the scholars in Henan served under him. Moreover, General He Jin once entrusted him with important tasks. I think The position of leader is none other than Brother Benchu." Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, is an outside branch of the Yuan family. He has admired Yuan Shao, the eldest son of Yuan, since he was a child, and naturally became his fanboy.

"Do you bring more troops than I do? I brought fifty thousand Youzhou cavalry, and I also brought my white horse Yi Cong. If we talk about combat power, no one here is my opponent. Who am I to be the leader of the alliance? Can you be a candidate?" Gongsun Zan, the man in white armor and silver helmet, spoke.

"Gongsun Bogui, do you dare to fight my Danyang soldiers?" Yuan Shu dropped his wine glass and was about to draw his sword.

"Everyone, please don't hurt the peace. Let's listen to what Cao Mengde said. Today, we have an army of 300,000 from the fifteen princes gathered here to defeat the national traitor Dong Zhuo and establish a new order in the world. The battle has not started yet, but we need to start internally first. If chaos breaks out, won't you be ridiculed? Cao is not talented and the leader of the alliance should be chosen by voting." Cao Cao became a peacemaker.

"Then how do you vote?" Yuan Shu said.

"There are only three candidates at the moment, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Jiujiu, and Gongsun Bogui. Now ask the three generals to stand facing the north. Those who support which general is elected leader of the alliance should stand behind them. Let's start now. Cao will go first. "Cao Cao said that this was the fairest method he could think of. Of course, he supported his young friend Yuan Shao.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, everyone thought this was the only reasonable way, so they stood up and voted in line.

Yuan Shao's supporters include: Cao Cao, Yuan Yi, Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Bao Xin, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao

Yuan Shu's supporters include: Kong Rong, Tao Qian, Kong Min

Gongsun Zan had no support

The result is obvious. Yuan Shao gained support from more people and became the leader of the alliance.

After becoming the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao appointed Cao Cao as the supervisor of the army, and Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan were the vanguards to cut wood and build ships.

Decided to cross the Si River in three days and attack Hulao Pass!
