Under Shen Xian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Liu Yan finally reluctantly agreed to the request to send troops. Shen Xian immediately sent the documents to Yuan Shao, and then she took Gan Ning to order five thousand elite soldiers and horses, and went to participate in the alliance in high spirits.

Before leaving, Liu Yan warned Shen Xian with a deep face that if there was something that needed to be done in the imperial court, let her try to avoid appearing in person as much as possible, and send someone to ask her two official brothers for help.

Only then did Shen Xian remember that in addition to the third brother of the sick seedling who followed them into Shu, she also had three "brothers" who were left in Luoyang by Liu Yan. No wonder Liu Yan didn't agree to send troops before, in case Shen Xian hit with the front foot, and Dong Zhuo slashed Liu Yan's three sons with a knife with the back foot, wouldn't Liu Yan have to cry to death?

Then why did Liu Yan agree later?

Shen Xian was puzzled, and simply threw this question aside. As long as it doesn't hinder her, who cares if the three brothers who haven't even met are dead or alive.

On the way, Gan Ning asked Shen Xian: "What did you say to Lord Liu in the study before......

Shen Xian understood what Gan Ning wanted to ask as soon as she heard it, and she said casually: "Coax him to play." ”

"Huh?" Gan Ning's eyes widened.

"It's not easy to be a child, my father is an old man, and sometimes he is confused, so I can only coax him." Shen Xian said lazily: "You still have to fight, how can you let Dong Zhongying toss Luoyang into that ghost." ”

After being quiet for a while, Shen Xian continued: "But what my father said is right, just these people ......" she said as she looked back at the Yizhou soldiers who were all in high spirits when they heard that they could travel at public expense: "Although it is much better than two years ago, whether it can withstand the attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will only be known if you try." ”

"Isn't there anyone else?" Gan Ning's attitude was very optimistic: "I heard that a total of eighteen princes responded to the call of Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde, so many people can't drown Dong Lao Thief with a mouthful of spittle?" ”

"The princes will ...... alliance" Shen Xian chuckled when she heard this, and there was a faint sarcasm in her words: "Believe it or not, these eighteen princes may not be able to beat him Dong Zhongying." ”

Gan Ning replied dryly: "I don't believe it." ”

"Then make a bet." Shen Xian blinked: "With so many people with different intentions gathered together, I'm afraid that they will mess up before they hit Dong Zhongying." ”

The location of the princes' alliance is in Suozao County, Chenliu County, Yanzhou, Shen Xian lay on the map and studied for a long time, and suddenly found that from Yizhou to this Suojube County...... That's not your average hard to go!

If you want to go from Yizhou to sour jujube, there are two main roads, one needs to pass through Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and the other needs to pass through Jingzhou and Sili. The former mountain is high and the water is long, and who knows that Jingzhou Mu and Yuzhou Mu are willing to lend her the way; The latter seems to be closer, but unfortunately there is Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry stationed opposite Wuguan, and everyone dies before they can go out together.

Shen Xian's head was big, and she looked at Gan Ning with tears and laughter, deeply suspecting that her father had already known that this would be the result.

"Didn't you even plan which way to go before you set off?" Gan Ning couldn't help but complain: "Is there a boss like you!" Can we be reliable? ”

"Don't make a noise, let me think!" Shen Xian pulled her hair and circled around the tent.

Suddenly, a soldier outside shouted, "My lord! Scout Emergency! ”

Gan Ning went out to pick up the military newspaper and threw it to Shen Xian, Shen Xian suddenly looked happy after reading it at a glance, Gan Ning saw this and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"God help me!" Shen Xian slapped the military newspaper on Gan Ning's chest: "Changsha Taishou Sun Wentai forced to kill Jingzhou Assassin Shi and Nanyang Taishou on the way north to respond to the call of the Huimeng, and at this moment he is stationed in Wancheng. In this case, I repaired a letter to him in the name of my father, and we went down the Han River to borrow from Jingzhou and go to Wancheng to join them. ”

"Forced to kill Jingzhou Assassin History?!" Gan Ning stared at the military newspaper dumbfounded: "This Changsha Taishou is really ...... What a daredevil! He dares to force Jingzhou to assassinate Shi, aren't you afraid that he will destroy you? ”

"What is he going to do with me?" Shen Xian glanced at Gan Ning inexplicably: "I didn't suddenly call the door, nor did I eat his family's grain and grass to occupy his family's territory, everyone responded to the call to participate in the alliance, what happened to having a care on the way together?" ”

Although Shen Xian said it was very reasonable, Gan Ning still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so in the end he had to watch Shen Xian write a letter to Sun Jian and send a messenger to send it out.

"Jingzhou Thorn Shi is dead." Shen Xian held her chin and muttered, "Jingzhou Thorn History...... Nanyang Taishou ......"

"Childe, what are you muttering?" Gan Ning took the tray and lifted the curtain into the tent, and put two dishes and one soup on the plate.

During the march, this is already the best treatment, Shen Xian didn't pick it, and motioned to Gan Ning to put it down and eat with her: "It's nothing, I'm thinking that Jingzhou Thorn Shi is dead." ”

"I know," Gan Ning nodded at the military newspaper spread out on the table: "It is written." ”

"Jingzhou has no leader at this time." Shen Xian held her chin and glanced at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning was silent for a moment, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Not necessarily, you see that Sun Wentai is still Changsha Taishou, and he belongs to the rule of Jingzhou Thorn Shi, and he didn't cut off his boss the same." ”

Shen Xian didn't speak, and Gan Ning said again: "There are some things that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so we have to come step by step, right?" ”

After a while, Shen Xian finally sighed: "You're right, I've been impatient recently." But I'm afraid that other people will have the same thoughts as me, don't we can't beat Jingzhou at that time, but will be taken advantage of by others. ”

Gan Ning pushed the porridge bowl in front of Shen Xian: "Why don't you write a letter in a while and transfer the two thousand sailors we newly recruited to Kuimen to guard?" As long as you keep the pass, no one else can enter Yizhou. ”

Shen Xian nodded: "That's the only way." ”

"Why don't you write one more?" Gan Ning suddenly said: "It's okay if you didn't send troops before, what if the old thief Dong heard that you took the Yizhou army to participate in the alliance, and turned his head to fight Hanzhong in anger?" ”

Shen Xian turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall for a while, then slowly shook her head: "There is no need to be like this, Dong Zhongying only brought three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry when he entered Beijing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were stationed at the border. This time, I heard that the princes from all walks of life had formed an alliance and gathered in the Kanto region to crusade against him, and they would inevitably drive part of the army into the Tiger Prison Pass, and the rest would have to guard his base camp to ensure that they could retreat at any time, and they would not be able to divide their forces to deal with Hanzhong. ”

Gan Ning's limited IQ is focused on the two aspects of training and leading troops, and it will be a headache to study all kinds of twists and turns of tactics and strategies for a while, Shen Xian tried to analyze a few words, and Gan Ning waved his hand in circles when he heard it: "You say it." ”

Shen Xian suddenly became angry: "How can you do this!" How can I say whatever I say! Shouldn't you be a subordinate and give your opinion? ”

Gan Ning looked like a ruffian with a look of "you have the ability to fight me": "Childe, you asked me to lead the troops to fight, and I will fight wherever I am directed, but you let me think of what strategy, or analyze where the other party will send troops from...... How would I know this? Isn't that what a counselor should do? ”

"But we don't have any strategists!" Shen Xian looked sad: "No, I have to kidnap a few strategists this time!" If I continue like this, my hair will turn gray, and using my brain is really not a job that ordinary people can do......"

Sun Jian's reply was sent back the next day by Kuaima, who warmly welcomed Shen Xian's arrival and promised to wait for her in Wancheng for three days, and then go to see Yuan Shao together after the rendezvous. So Shen Xian immediately set up camp and hurried away, and came to Wancheng in the evening of the next day.

In order to show respect, Shen Xian parked the army outside the city and took Gan Ning and a few guards to visit Sun Jian alone. When they reached the city gate, they saw a small group of men and horses waiting there, Shen Xian sent his men to inquire, and learned that it was someone sent by Sun Ce to meet her, so they immediately walked up.

After approaching, Shen Xian was slightly stunned, because she found that the person in the lead looked very young, probably not much older than her.
