Listening to Bu Yun's words, Liu Zhan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Bu Yun to see it so clearly. Liu Zhan originally thought that Buyun did not have such unpredictable tactics as Xi Zhicai in military affairs, but he never thought that he would see the same thing as Xi Zhicai.

Liu Zhan smiled slightly and said, "That's good! These two are the basis of my proactive approach. ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and arched his hand: "Lord, the strategy is set, and you should attack quickly." Zhicai thought that he could order General Zhao Yun to lead the Feiyu Cavalry to sneak lightly, secretly drive into the sour jujube, and launch a surprise attack on the princes from all walks of life, first hitting their morale. ”

"Well, Zhicai's plan is exactly what I wanted, go on."

Liu Zhan nodded, his eyes moving slightly.

"After the Flying Feather Cavalry succeeded in the surprise attack, he immediately returned, the princes suffered a loss, and they were bound to pursue, but General Xu Chu led 10,000 Flying Tiger Battalions to ambush on both sides of the road, and after the enemy passed by, he suddenly killed from the rear, and the Flying Feather Cavalry turned around and killed back, and attacked back and forth. In this battle, we do not seek to kill many enemies, but to seek stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness, mainly to hit the morale of the enemy.

After this battle, the enemy army will inevitably fall apart without the decision of a wise ally. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and continued.

"Can only two battles dissolve the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes? It shouldn't be that simple. Xun Yu pondered for a moment and asked lightly.

"Huh...... Brother Gongda, the princes of the Eighteenth Road seem to be powerful, but in fact, they are just a group of rabble with their own ghosts, raising the banner of crusade against the lord and supporting the army to respect themselves. Compared with the loyalty of the lord to the Han family, they are great traitors, and the hearts of the people are like Mingjing.

Fighting two good battles will make them realize the huge gap between their army and the Flying Tiger Battalion, and they will be able to extinguish their arrogance. ”

Xi Zhicai arched his hand towards Xun You and said.

"Zhicai's words hit the nail on the head, it's really high, I praise Comrade Cai's strategy." Xun Xiu arched his hand towards Xi Zhicai and said.

As soon as Xun You's words fell, Xu Shu also arched his hand and said, "Brother Zhicai, what if the princes of the Eighteenth Route nominate a wise alliance leader?" ”

"Huh...... Yuan Zhi, they can't choose a good alliance leader. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled inscrutablely.

"Why is that?"

"The princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against the lord, and this is just one thing, which shows that most of them are people who sell their fame and reputation, and the issue of face is extremely important to them. At this point, those who are really capable will not become the leader of the alliance. ”

"Isn't there a wiser figure among the princes of the Eighteen Roads?" Xu Shu frowned slightly and asked. Xu Shu has not been dealing with government affairs for a long time, and there is still a gap between him and Xi Zhicai in terms of looking at people, and he did not accurately figure out the character of each of them from the style of the princes of the Eighteenth Road. Even these things are not difficult for Xi Zhicai.

As soon as Xu Shu's voice fell, Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, stroked his sparse long beard, and said:

"Huh...... Yuan Zhi, listen to my comments on them.

Nanyang is too guarded by Yuan Shu to be arrogant, arrogant and unscrupulous;

Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu is more than honest, but the machine is insufficient;

Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling is broad and high-minded, but it is not practical;

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, seems to be benevolent and polite, but in fact he is greedy and untrustworthy;

Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang loves money as his life, brave and unscrupulous;

Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao's ambition is high-minded, and he is scheming and talentless;

Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao is greedy and capricious;

Shanyang Taishou Yuan Zhi seems to be loyal and straightforward, but in fact, it is secretly dirty;

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin is brave but not wise, good at martial arts and young literature;

Beihai is too guarded by Kong Rong to like red tape, and his actions are not conducive to procrastination;

Guangling guards Zhang Chao with courage and little strategy, and is mercenary;

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao is humble and gentle, more than benevolent and righteous, and his attempts are insufficient;

Xiliang is too guarded by Ma Teng and reckless, cronyism;

Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, was greedy and belligerent, brave and indecisive;

The party is too guarded by Zhang Yang and does not listen to people, and he has no plan or decision;

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian acted recklessly and well-intentioned;

Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao is very happy and strategic;

Cao Cao, the lieutenant of the military academy, was cunning by nature, gloomy and suspicious. ”

"Good!"

Liu Zhan listened to Xi Zhicai's comments on the princes from all walks of life, and couldn't help but applaud. Xi Zhicai's comments are almost indifferent from the characteristics of the princes that Liu Zhan learned from later generations, which can be described as hitting the nail on the head and hitting the nail on the head.

Xi Zhicai really didn't cover it.

Liu Zhan slowly came to Xi Zhicai, took Xi Zhicai's hand, and said with a smile: "Zhicai, this time I will leave it to you to arrange the troops, and I won't point fingers." ”

After speaking, he untied the sword in his waist and handed it to Xi Zhicai, then looked at Xun You, Xu Shu, Zhao Yan, Shi Tao, and Bu Yun, and said, "Assist Zhicai, all military affairs in Luoyang are handled by Xi Zhicai, and Zhicai has the right to cut first and then play." ”

Xi Zhicai took the Heavenly Sword, bowed down and said, "Zhicai will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Xun You, Xu Shu, Zhao Yan, Shi Tao, and Bu Yun also bowed their hands and said, "We will definitely do our best to assist the military division." ”

……

Jujube.

On the second day after the grand ceremony, the princes of all walks of life gathered to discuss the plan of action for the next step.

Yuan Shao sat on the seat of the leader of the alliance, full of spirits, full of spring breeze, he raised his hand and waved, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads has been completed, and the charter is discussed today." I've heard what you're planning. ”

Listening to Yuan Shao's tone, looking at his posture, he didn't treat the other princes as equals at all, but regarded him as a subordinate, and he himself was a high-ranking person.

Yuan Shu was the first to quit, he originally felt that the position of the alliance leader should be his Yuan Shu's, seeing Yuan Shao's coy appearance, Yuan Shu had a fire in his heart, he snorted coldly, stood up, and said loudly in a questioning tone: "The alliance leader Tao is full of belly, let's talk about it first, listen to it." After speaking, he sneered, didn't look at Yuan Shao, and returned to his seat by himself.

Although Yuan Shu did not deal with Yuan Shao, he still knew Yuan Shao better, he knew that Yuan Shao had nothing dry in his stomach, so he deliberately said this, he just wanted to stand up to Yuan Shao and let him be the so-called alliance leader and make a fool of himself in public.

Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Shu's voice fell, Yuan Shao's face turned the color of pig liver, he glared at Yuan Shu who was walking back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since ancient times, how can there be a superior person...... Oh no, how can there be a leader of the alliance to give advice, everyone said, if there is a good plan, the leader of the alliance will decide. ”

Cut –

Everyone did not respond, but they despised Yuan Shao's pretense in their hearts.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and everyone was holding back as if they were bad, waiting to see Yuan Shao come out of trouble.

Yuan Shao didn't speak, his face was gloomy like water: Good you Yuan Shu! How dare you be so yin! You must be good-looking!

Secretly angry for a long time, Yuan Shao couldn't hold back, looked at Yuan Yi with a little embarrassment, and said: "My cousin has always been resourceful, so it's better for my cousin to talk about it first." After speaking, he smiled bitterly a few times and looked at Yuan Yi.

Alas-

Yuan Yi sighed lightly, shook his head helplessly, and said slowly: "Now the alliance of my eighteenth princes has hundreds of thousands of people, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to crusade against a mere Liu Zhan, just order the whole army to march towards Luoyang." Yuan Yi saw Yuan Shao's style just now, and he was also unhappy, he didn't expect Yuan Shao to have such a side, he really didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so ...... However, he recommended the person, and now Yuan Shao asked him to speak by name, for the sake of the Yuan family's face, he could only say a few words, although he didn't have any good ideas.

"My cousin has a point. Just do what my cousin said, you have any objections. Yuan Shao's face softened a lot, and there was no longer the embarrassment on his face just now.

After speaking, seeing that everyone was still silent, Yuan Shao continued: "Since you have no objections, then it is decided. The leader of the alliance decided that all the soldiers and horses would recuperate for a few days, and then go to Luoyang ten days later to destroy Liu Zhan in one fell swoop. ”

Ten days later?

The princes heard Yuan Shao's so-called decision, and they were suddenly a little confused: Why do you have to wait for ten days? It's fucking weird......

Even so, no one stood up against it, and certainly no one came forward to approve it.

The scene cooled down again.

After a while, I saw a burly scribe stand up, take a few steps forward, and bow to Yuan Shao and the princes in turn.

This person is none other than Zang Hong, who led everyone to take the oath.

Zang Hong said loudly: "Alliance leaders, generals, as the saying goes, soldiers are fast, and if you wait for ten days like this, you may lose your fighter plane, which is not good for our allies."

I thought that I could immediately wave my troops to Luoyang and take Liu Zhan off guard.

No, maybe Liu Zhan has already taken precautions and is waiting for us in Luoyang. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Shao saw Zang Hong come forward to deny his decision, his face immediately darkened, he pursed his lips contemptuously, and said, "This alliance has hundreds of thousands, killing Liu Zhan is like slaughtering a chicken with a knife, why be so careful."

The leader of this alliance thought that the momentum of the alliance had already scared Liu Zhan into hugging his head, where was the need to rush so much?

I really don't know what to say. ”

Yuan Shao couldn't see anyone contradicting him in public, and now he saw that a small Gong Cao dared to speak out to refute his first decision to sit on the position of alliance leader, and his heart was full of anger, although he knew that Zang Hong was full of wisdom and was quite important to everyone.

Listening to Yuan Shao's cold words, Zang Hong just smiled slightly, did not get angry, and then said: "If the alliance leader is so decisive, I am afraid that no one will obey the orders of the alliance leader." ”

"Bold! Cao, the merit of a small county, dared to speak wildly! Come on, pull down for so-and-so, behead the public! ”

Yuan Shao listened to Zang Hong's words, and was so angry that he lifted the case, jumped up, and pointed at Zang Hong and scolded loudly.

"Haha......" Zang Hong laughed instead of being angry, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "I think I am a dignified man, I didn't die in battle, I didn't do my loyalty to the people, I actually died at the hands of a mediocre person!" It's ridiculous! Haha......"

Zang Hong opened his arms and laughed wildly, hoarse.
