Chapter 235: Yuan Shao waved his troops to Yingchuan

Three days later, all the princes simultaneously set camp and marched towards Yingchuan. The original eighteen-way princes have now become the thirteen-way princes, and the original army of hundreds of thousands has also been reduced to more than 200,000. Strictly speaking, Zhao Yun only attacked three princes' camps, and destroyed the three-way princes, and the current allied army should be the fifteen-way princes. But Yuan Shao did not count Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, for no other reason, after the two lost the battle, there were few troops left, Yuan Shao believed that the princes of less than 1,000 people were not the princes of the road at all, but could only be regarded as a foil.

Yuan Shao just thought about these words in his heart, but he didn't say them, mainly because he was afraid of Cao Cao, not for any other reason.

When the princes assembled, when Yuan Shao swore an oath, he was still called the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and he played a side-kick, which could not only save the face of the allies, but also avoid the embarrassment of counting how many princes there were.

On the huge high platform before the three armies, the princes of all walks of life stood on the stand. Yuan Shao was in the middle, and he took a few steps forward, looking heroic and dry. Obviously, Yuan Shao at this time was full of confidence, even more than when he had just met the alliance, Yuan Shao felt that in front of the 200,000 army, only 10,000 people were not enough to worry about, and any conspiracy would be useless, and then Liu Zhan was in Luoyang at this time, and he had no time to separate. As long as Liu Zhan is not there, Yuan Shao will not be stunned, and he will be full of confidence.

There are few soldiers in Luoyang, and there are few soldiers in Yingchuan. But in the eyes of Yuan Shao and the princes of all walks of life, there is an essential difference between the two. Luoyang, where Liu Zhan and his elite are basically all there; And Yingchuan only has two generals, and Liu Zhan's military advisor Xi Zhicai is not in Yingchuan, Yingchuan has neither capable generals nor strategists. Yingchuan, which was defended by 10,000 people, was almost a place without soldiers in the eyes of the princes of all walks of life.

Yuan Shaoqing coughed, strode forward, raised the sword in his hand, and made a passionate statement: "The sky is unknown, the ministers are autocratic, and the princes of the world are attacking it, which is in line with the way of heaven and the will of the people." Today, the army of the princes of the Eighteenth Route is waving the army of Yingchuan ......"

In other words, there is a small rumor about the Sizhao Sword in Yuan Shao's hand. It is said that Yuan Shao once met an immortal in a dream and gave him a sword, called "Si Zhao", and gave Yuan Shao an opportune time, telling Yuan Shao, 'You have the opportunity to reign in the world, if you gain power, you will be able to return to the heart of the world and dominate the world.' As soon as the immortal's words were finished, Yuan Shao was so excited that he woke up from the dream, and Yuan Shao realized that he had actually had a dream, and he didn't really meet the immortal, but the words in the dream were especially in his ears. Just when Yuan Shao was secretly distressed, he suddenly found that the sword given by the immortal was on his couch. And the strange thing is that the appearance of this sword is exactly the same as the sword that Yuan Shao saw in his dream. Yuan Shao picked up the sword suspiciously, and looked at it, only to see the words "Sizhao" engraved on the sword. Yuan Shao was immediately overjoyed and offered the Sizhao Sword for seven days before he was willing to carry it with him. After that, Yuan Shao gradually became ambitious.

Yuan Shao Luoli shouted a lot, and the soldiers below didn't understand it very well. Yuan Shao didn't care about these, this alliance leader's addiction, he had a good time today. Yuan Shao was very happy in his heart, and waved forward with his Sizhao sword: "Open up-"

As soon as the voice fell, an earth-shattering echo sounded below.

More than 200,000 soldiers are boiling, they have been waiting for so many days in their nests, just for the day of the war, no matter who you fight, as long as there is a battle. The reason for this is actually very simple, most of the soldiers are from poor backgrounds, and they join the army, just to make a living, and then to make meritorious contributions and change their lowly status.

After several rounds of loud shouts in unison, the princes of all walks of life returned to their camps and led their men and horses towards Yingchuan......

……

Luoyang City is peaceful, hundreds of industries and businesses are open and operating as usual, and the people still rest at sunrise and sunset......

In Luoyang at the end of April, spring flowers bloom and the breeze is cool. The young scholars went out of the city one after another, and went on outings together, completely unaffected by the crusade against Liu Zhan by the princes from all walks of life. The news of Zhao Yun, Xu Chu's victory over Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Bao Xin and others spread in Luoyang, and people took to the streets to cheer, and many people shouted "Long live Liu Zhan......

Originally, the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Liu Zhan, like a big stone pressing on the hearts of the people in Luoyang City. The people thought that relying on the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Prime Minister Liu Zhan, they could not resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the princes from all walks of life. Before the good news was transmitted back to Luoyang, the entire Luoyang City was shrouded in clouds, and people were overwhelmed. Although Liu Zhan also issued a proclamation to tell the people that the princes of the Eighteenth Route were just chickens and dogs, it still could not alleviate the people's fear of hundreds of thousands of troops.

After winning the first battle, the people of Luoyang made this 180-degree turn and believed Liu Zhan's words......

Liu Zhan became prime minister, in a sense, it was "persecuted" by the people of Luoyang and hundreds of officials in the court, if it were not for this, Liu Zhan would not be the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhan had more lofty ideals, and he was not willing to contribute to this decadent dynasty. But the people were innocent. As Liu Zhan, who is well-educated in socialism, how can he bear to watch the people suffer?

The scholars traveled, or in groups of three or five, or in groups, singing songs, and playing in Luoyang.

Of course, Liu Zhan was not idle.

Listening to the rain hall, from time to time there was the sound of talking about pushing cups and changing lamps.

On this day, Liu Zhan summoned all his cadres and others in Luoyang to Tingyuxuan, and held a banquet to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers.

At a glance, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, Shi A, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Zhao Yan, Shi Tao, Buyun and others were all seated in the banquet, and after that, there were more than 20 thousand commanders of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the deputy commander of the Flying Feather Cavalry and others to attend the banquet.

I saw Liu Zhan come to Xu Chu and Zhao Yun with a smile, raised the wine lord, and said loudly: "Zhong Kang, junior brother, the first battle shocked the world, and the two of you made the greatest contribution!" Come, I will salute you two and one lord again, and drink this lord to the fullest. ”

Xu Chu smiled, didn't say a word, picked up a drunken immortal wine, raised his head and poured it.

Zhao Yun's face was straight, and he said: "Senior brother praised, this battle was all won by the soldiers in bloody battles, and there are also military advisors with clever strategies. Yun didn't dare to be greedy. After speaking, he raised his neck and dried up the wine.

As soon as Zhao Yun's voice fell, Xu Chu put down the wine jue, smiled again, and said: "Zilong is a Sven person, what he said is reasonable, and I Xu Chu also recognizes this reason." ”

Liu Zhan finished the wine, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You guys, you don't have to be so modest, whose credit is whose merit is whose merit, and I will also reward the meritorious deeds of the military advisor." You can rest assured, hehe......"

After speaking, he motioned for Xu Chu and Zhao Yun to follow, Liu Zhan grabbed a jar of drunken immortal wine and walked slowly in the direction of Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai's eyes were bright, and when he raised his eyes, he took the lead in standing up, and when Liu Zhan came over, he arched his hand towards Liu Zhan, and then raised the wine lord, and said with a smile: "Corporal Lixian is really a blessing for us!" Zhicai respects the lord and the first duke. ”

As he spoke, he drank the whole wine in one gulp. This wine was too spicy for Xi Zhicai, and after a couple of wine, Xi Zhicai choked and coughed repeatedly, and his face quickly turned red......

Liu Zhan laughed teasedly and said, "Zhicai, do you want to change it for turbid wine for you?" ”

"Ahem, ahem...... cough ......" Xi Zhicai slowed down and waved his hand again and again, "Don't don't, the lord doesn't know, although Zhicai is not strong enough to drink, he likes this drunken fairy wine the most, the wine is like its name, it is unstoppable." ”

"Haha......"

As soon as Xi Zhicai's voice fell, Liu Zhan and Xu Chu and Zhao Yun behind him laughed in unison.

Liu Zhan was full of wine, took a few steps forward, came to the front of Xi Zhicai, and said: "Zhicai, Zhongkang and Zilong agree that in this battle, you should be the first to take the lead, what do you think?" ”

"The lord laughed, no matter how good the strategy is, there must be a capable general, right?" Xi Zhicai and Liu Zhan lightly touched the wine lord and said with a smile, "Besides, this strategy is not very wonderful, if there are no two generals in the battle, this strategy will not be a good strategy." The reason why Zhicai dared to offer this strategy to the lord was that he knew the bravery of the two generals and understood the combat power of the Flying Feather Cavalry and the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Having said that, the biggest credit belongs to the lord, haha......

If it weren't for the wise decision of the lord, where would there be such a happy moment? ”

Liu Zhan listened to Xi Zhicai's unexpected compliments, raised his eyebrows, and teased: "Zhicai, when will your sycophant problem be changed?" Wouldn't you give up if you want to make me a soft-eared man? ”

"Haha......"

As soon as Liu Zhan's voice fell, Xi Zhicai, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun looked at each other and smiled......

……

The feast lasted until late at night. Everyone was drunk and staggered, and they were supported by the maids, and went back to their own homes.

Liu Zhan was only slightly drunk, his mind was still very clear, he slowly came to the study, picked up the Pingtian Cloud Halberd, and walked out. Liu Zhan has some itchy skills, and he has to play a few tricks to have a good time.

As soon as Liu Zhangang went out, he saw Shi A running over with a anxious face, arching his hand, and said, "Lord, scout urgent!" "Shi Ah is very safe, although he also attended the banquet just now, he only drank a jue of wine. Shi Ah knew that he must not get drunk, especially when the lord and everyone were drinking heartily, and someone needed to stay awake in case something unexpected happened. It was precisely because of Shi A's safety that Liu Zhan handed over all the intelligence-related affairs of Luoyang to Shi A for disposal. Today, Shi Ah not only leads a group of swordsmen, but also a scout battalion. This scout camp was specially selected by Liu Zhan from the Flying Tiger Battalion.

"Say it quickly."

"I just received the news that Yuan Shao led more than 200,000 troops of princes from all walks of life to march in the direction of Yingchuan."

"Huh? Yuan Shao and the others really refused to give up. ”

Liu Zhan's face was cold, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, he didn't know if the 10,000 people in Yingchuan could hold it in the face of 200,000 troops, and how long could they hold it.
