Chapter 114: Tiger Prison Pass, Peerless Divine Horse
"This is the sincerity sent by Prime Minister Dong Cheng?" Guo Jia said with a slight smile after reading a gift slip in his hand.
But in Li Su's eyes, these smiles were very strange, and he suddenly understood in his heart that the other party was not satisfied at all.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, greedy.
This gift list is really not light.
It is enough for an army of five million to eat a year's food, and a large amount of wealth and armor can make an army of two million equipped with elite equipment.
The land and the poor people in the prefecture were poor, and among the three million troops taken by Ding Yuan, most of the elite equipment was taken away.
Therefore, Li Su can be sure that among the more than five million troops under the command of King Shang at this time, the ones that are really equipped with elites, except for the 80,000 wolf riders, will definitely not exceed two million.
Of course, today's Dong Zhuo is rich and full of confidence, so Li Su has a lot of room for maneuver.
However, it can't really be easy to invest in the enemy, Li Su smiled slightly: "The current covenant is the prime minister's greatest sincerity." ”
Guo Jia was noncommittal, that's right, that covenant is indeed the other party's greatest sincerity.
But this is not only the benefit of the Shang state, the more important thing about the covenant is the situation after this war, after which the two sides are interdependent so as not to be besieged.
Now, it's time to talk about the war.
His voice cooled down a little and said: "Lord Li, the king of my family has never liked to procrastinate, after the matter of the covenant is concerned, at this time, it is better to show the true sincerity of Prime Minister Dong Cheng, otherwise my Dashang soldiers are not in much mood to fight for other countries."
And to prepare for the expedition, it takes time to prepare. ”
Li Su snorted lightly in his heart, they all knew that it was impossible for Emperor Zishou to let Dong Zhuo be defeated like this, and the covenant would definitely exist.
It's just that if you know, you still have to have rules.
Asking someone to help, of course, comes at a cost.
Even if the covenant is there, even if you know that the other party will make a move, it is not certain when you will make a move.
And what if?
Thinking that it does take time to send troops, and the coalition of Yuan Shao and others is not sure when it will arrive, and the prime minister has no mind to talk about it.
In his heart, he let go of the idea of continuing to say more, and said solemnly: "Then I don't know what Lord Guo means?"
"Double. Guo Jia raised two fingers and said with a smile.
Li Su suddenly felt the urge to jump up and punch this smiling face, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Guo said that he was laughing." ”
Guo Jia smiled indifferently, bargaining is interesting, he is not in a hurry, it is the other party who is in a hurry, saying that the emperor does not like to procrastinate, but he is just talking.
No matter how much you don't like procrastination, you won't be in a hurry in the face of such a good opportunity.
Then the two carried out a process of back and forth for half a month, and Dong Zhuo was furious in Luoyang City several times.
In the end, it took eighteen days to finally decide.
Enough for an army of five million to feed for a year and a half, enough to equip an army of three million with rich armor.
There is also a peerless horse.
Grain, wealth, and armor have all begun to be transported to the Shang Kingdom, but the peerless magic horse is too difficult to transport, so it needs to wait until the emperor himself to receive it.
Among the promises made by the Shang side, the emperor was personally led to the aid of the army, and 80,000 wolf horsemen must arrive.
The agreement was negotiated, and Emperor Zishou also began to make a series of preparations and adjustments.
Time rushed, blinked, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.
The emperor was invited to a banquet by the ministers of culture and martial arts of the Shang State, and then spent this Chinese New Year's Eve with Yan Ling, Liu Ying, and Zhang Ning in secret.
At the beginning of the new year, the second year of the Great Merchant and Great Cause, that is, the first year of the First Peace of the Han Dynasty, at the beginning of March.
Under the impetus of the anti-Dong Alliance, the anti-Dong momentum in various places has reached a peak.
It was also from this time that forces began to go to Luoyang from all directions.
By 13 April, the number of princes converging on the outskirts of Luoyang had reached 20 routes.
Later generals Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Wucheng Hou Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Qixiang Hou Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Xiaoqi Lieutenant Cao Cao, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.
The princes of the Twenty Routes either led one or two million troops, or led hundreds of thousands of troops, and the total number of troops reached twenty-five million.
It stretches for thousands of miles.
The invincible power overwhelmed the heavens and the earth as if they were bowing their heads.
It can be said that the army of more than 20 million is absolutely invincible in the world, because it brings together too many outstanding people and various backgrounds in this world.
Subsequently, the princes of the Twenty Roads made an alliance with blood and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.
Yuan Shao looked at the people below, his heart was full of spirit, and even the distress of taking out a lot of wealth in order to persuade so many forces was much lighter.
Just as he was about to give the bold order to set out, a piece of news came that made him angry, and it shocked all the princes.
Dong Zhuo was furious, and directly killed nearly 100 members of the Yuan family, including Yuan Kui, who stayed in Luoyang City.
Yuan Shao spurted out a mouthful of blood, and even Yuan Shu's body shook.
"How dare he? how dare he?" Yuan Shu muttered, his face full of disbelief.
Some of the princes next to him sneered in their hearts, why don't they dare?
It's really a good kill, do you really think that no one in your Yuan family will dare to move?
But most people were really shocked, Dong Zhuo is really, so bold!
That was the Yuan family, and they really killed Yuan Kui and the others directly!
"Cao thief, I swear to you that I will not stand at odds. Yuan Shao yelled angrily.
"Order, set off, swear to kill Dong thief. ”
·····
The mighty army marched towards Luoyang City, the momentum was earth-shattering, and the rolling wind and clouds gathered, like the immeasurable sea, pushing everything sideways.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who was furious in Luoyang City and killed Yuan Kui and others despite dissuasion, led all the forces he could bring to set off.
Go to the barrier of Luoyang, the world's first male pass and tiger prison.
The army of 10 million, divided into several batches, arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass one after another, plus the army of the Tiger Prison Pass itself, a total of 15 million.
On the third day of his arrival, the coalition forces arrived.
At the head of the three-hundred-zhang Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo looked at the sea-like and invincible coalition army with a solemn face, as if he felt the biggest crisis in his life.
"Hasn't Lu Bu arrived yet?" couldn't help but say coldly, unconsciously a little irritable in his tone.
"It was possible to arrive in the evening. Next to him, Li Ru's eyes were also full of caution.
On the coalition side, they began to set up camp and prepare for a day's repairs.
That night, Emperor Zishou and 80,000 wolf horsemen rode all the way from Hedong County to Tiger Prison Pass, and Dong Zhuo led all the important ministers and generals to greet them.
"The king of Shang has come from afar, and his true appearance has been disappointed!"
When he saw the first person who led the 80,000 wolf horses, even with Dong Zhuo's many years of experience, he couldn't help but take a breath, what a terrifying majesty!
But he immediately smiled politely, and everyone behind him was awakened, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
What a merchant king of the world!
····
With a few simple words, while secretly looking at each other, Dong Zhuo took the emperor to meet the peerless god horse he promised.
"King Shang didn't know that this horse was definitely the number one divine horse in the world, and it was accidentally discovered by Ben Quite a few years ago, leading the Flying Bear Army and hundreds of thousands of troops, and setting a trap in advance to catch it.
It's a pity that it's been two years, but no one has been able to surrender, so they have been detained by this correspondent.
It's just for its better growth, so its power is not blocked, which means that it must be guarded with absolute strength at all times, otherwise it is likely to let it run. While walking, Dong Zhuo said proudly.
's words aroused the curiosity of Guo Jia and Zhao Yun behind the emperor, is there really such a god in the world?
And the generals behind Dong Zhuo were a little fiery and sighed helplessly.
Apparently they all knew about the horse, but they just couldn't tame it.
