Liu Wei was poisoned by Dong Zhuo. The news quickly spread all over the world at lightning speed. The result naturally aroused greater indignation among the people of the world, rather than cessing because of the loss of the object of allegiance as Dong Zhuo and Li Ru thought.

Those local state and county officials who were already preparing to raise troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo raised troops one after another after getting the news.

First of all, Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling County, under the persuasion of his subordinate Zang Hong, and his brother Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao raised troops in Suozao together, and then Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai led the troops to join.

Immediately after that, the generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, and Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan also led troops to join.

They had 30,000 men and horses each, and 10,000 or 20,000 men. By the time Zhang Hao arrived, the originally unknown place of sour jujube was already a sea of banners and crowds.

"Xuande, we're here." Zhang Hao said to Liu Bei beside him.

"Thank you for taking care of Matilda along the way." Liu Bei thanked Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao met Liu Bei when he was passing through Gaotang County, and in recent years, he was promoted to Gaotang County Commander because of his meritorious service in fighting thieves. After Liu Bei learned that Zhang Hao was going to the Sour Jujube Alliance to defeat the traitor Dong Zhuo, he asked to go with Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao thought that since it was an old acquaintance, he would take him with him. Maybe he can see the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu with his own eyes.

Liu Bei is also full of longing for the future at this moment.

Dong Zhuo's troubles and the abolition of the Son of Heaven spread all over the world, and he naturally knew about it. The world condemned Dong Zhuo, and people from all walks of life gathered in sour dates, and he also knew it.

But it's useless to know, because he is just a high-density county order, and he is not in the invitation list of Qiaomao at all. However, he wanted to participate in such a grand event, because as long as he came, he would be known by the world and win great prestige for himself, which would be extremely beneficial to his future development.

God still favors this ancestor in history, Liu Bei is worried about how to go to sour dates, and Zhang Hao took people and horses through his rule. Under his plea, Zhang Hao also agreed to take him with him.

"As long as you can stand out in this grand event, then your wish to support the Han family and save the people of the world will soon come true."

Zhang Hao left the soldiers and horses outside the city, leaving Tian Jian and Wang He to guard, and he took Zheng Meng, Tai Shici, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei brothers into the city and came to the conference hall.

As soon as he came in, Zhang Hao heard a happy greeting. "Yo, Mingde, you are here, just now I asked Yuan Wei if he invited you, but he hasn't come until now."

Of course, Zhang Hao could hear this voice as Cao Cao, and the Yuan Wei he was talking about was Qiao Mao.

"Brother Mengde, I'm not here. I'm the furthest from here, and I was there a month ago, and I'm just in time for it. ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, come on, come on, I'll introduce you to the heroes here." Qiao Yuanwei and Bao Yuncheng are the two of them, you met when you were in Luoyang. Oh, you know General Gongsun too. ”

Then he took Zhang Hao to the two generals: "This is Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miaozi Meng Zhuo." ”

Zhang Hao immediately hugged his fists and said: "I have seen Brother Meng Zhuo, Brother Meng Zhuo is one of the 'Eight Chefs', and my reputation is also thunderous." ”

Although Zhang Miao's figure is fat and slightly fat, it still can't hide his personable temperament. "The name of General Pingbei has long been heard below."

"This is Guangling's Taishou Zhang Chao, but Meng Zhuo's brother."

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time."

“……”

Introduced all the way, Zhang Hao and Cao Cao came to a handsome and powerful general. Zhang Hao motioned to Cao Cao not to speak yet, and he arched his hand at the general and said, "This Mo is not a broken general. Changsha is too guarded by Sun Jian and Sun Wentai? ”

Sun Jian also smiled and replied: "It's here, I didn't expect General Zhang to know about my Sun Wentai, it's really surprising." ”

"Most of the people here are the civil officials who govern one side, only General Sun and General Gongsun have a murderous aura, thinking about the people on the list, I naturally guessed it. However, Brother Wentai's reputation for courage and courage has been heard of even in Pingzhou. ”

"Hahaha, ashamed, ashamed. Every time I fight, I fight bravely and charge ahead. For this reason, my subordinates have persuaded me several times, but I can't fix this problem. ”

Zhang Hao also said with a smile: "The main general rushing to the front is also a way to greatly boost morale, General Sun, don't look at me as so weak, I will personally lead the army to charge depending on the situation when I fight." ”

"You guys had a great conversation. Meng De, is this the Pingbei general and Pingzhou Mu Zhang Hao that you remember? A cynical voice suddenly came.

Cao Cao saw the person coming, and then helped Zhang Hao introduce him: "Mingde, this is the later general, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu Yuan Highway." ”

Zhang Hao arched his hand and said, "I've seen General Hou." ”

Yuan Shu waved his hand: "What is the Hou General, Nanyang Taishou, that is all sealed by Dong Zhuo's thief." I didn't even ask for the seal, so I escaped from Luoyang, and I can't count. ”

This insincere look, although he said so, Zhang Hao felt that Yuan Shu still liked the respect of others for him.

"Even if it was instructed by Dong Thief, it was agreed by the Son of Heaven and the imperial court. So there is no seal, General Yuan is still a general. Zhang Hao said.

Yuan Shu was very satisfied with what Zhang Hao said, and he then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did General Zhang bring with him this time?" ”

Zhang Hao replied: "10,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 20,000 people are the elite of my Pingzhou." ”

"There are 10,000 elite horsemen!" Yuan Shu was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted, nodded and said, "Pingzhou is a northeastern border pass, bordering the grassland, so it is not surprising that there are so many cavalry. ”

Originally, Zhang Hao wanted to bring 20,000 cavalry, but he wanted to recruit those Wuhuan people who had not yet fully integrated into the life of the Han people. Zhang Hao was afraid that they would not understand the rules of the Han Dynasty and do something harmful, so he dispelled his thoughts.

At this time, a person with an extraordinary bearing came out from behind the curtain and asked, "Is General Pingbei here?" ”

Cao Cao introduced for the last time: "This is Yuan Shao Yuan, the Marquis of Yixiang and the Taishou of Bohai. ”

Zhang Hao nodded after hearing this, and said loudly: "Zhang Hao is here, I have seen General Yuan"

Yuan Shao bowed his head slightly and said, "Since General Pingbei has arrived, then everyone should take a seat." ”

Zhang Hao's position is in front of Sun Jian and Gongsun Zhan, and according to the status here, it is said that he is in the middle and upper. Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, etc. all met in Zhang Hao, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at the front.

Speaking of which, according to his position, he is only a little worse than Yuan Shu, the general of Pingbei; In terms of title, the Marquis of Changli is a county marquis, and the number of households far exceeds that of everyone. But they themselves are ranked in the middle and upper ranks, and it seems that they are mainly ranked according to their reputation among the scholars.

Zhang Hao thought wildly, but Yuan Shu's voice interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to reality.

"The seats in this hall are full, who are these three people, and why are they standing at the door?" Yuan Shu said very unhappily. Everyone also started talking and pointing at Liu Guanzhang and the others.

"Who, this is?"

"I don't know, all the princes invited are here."

"I remember that they seemed to have come with Zhang Pingbei."

Zhang Hao was so embarrassed that he forgot about the three brothers. He had already seen Zhang Fei's appearance that was about to run wild, but because he was being pulled by Liu Bei all the time, he didn't make a sound.

"I'm sorry, but these three are with me. The leader is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and the other two are his brothers with different surnames, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yide. Zhang Hao hurriedly pulled the three of them over and introduced them one by one.

"Xuande, why are you here too?" Gongsun Chan asked as he feigned shock. In fact, he had already seen Liu Bei just now, but he didn't want to say hello for fear of embarrassment. But now that Zhang Hao has pulled them in, it would be too much to pretend not to see them anymore.

"What, Bergui also knows these three people?" Yuan Shu was surprised.

Gongsun Zhan nodded and said, "Xuande is my fellow disciple, and he worshiped with me under my mentor Lu Zhi back then. ”

Yuan Shu understood: "Oh~ It turned out to be Mr. Lu's high-ranking apprentice, I don't know that Xuande is now an official in the river?" ”

Liu Bei also saw that Yuan Shu was a snob, and he looked down on himself very much, but he still said: "I am under the current high secret order." ”

"It's strange that I have to be invited, it turns out to be just a district and county order. Let me ask you again, you dare to come to the alliance even if you are a county commander, how many people did you bring? ”

"More than 2,000 people."

"Only 2,000 people!" This time, Yuan Shu shouted even louder, "All of you here, you have at least 10,000 soldiers under your command, and your 2,000 people can't even stir up a wave on the battlefield." You don't want to be famous in front of the world and want to go crazy, so run to the battlefield and die. ”

"Hahaha~" Everyone else burst out laughing. Only Zhang Hao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan couldn't laugh. The first three people were not funny because they humiliated others, while Gongsun Chan couldn't laugh because he felt very ashamed and ashamed in his heart.

"What are you talking about, believe it or not, I killed you!" Zhang Fei finally couldn't help but shout.

It was the first time for Yuan Shu to be insulted like this, and he immediately said angrily: "Where did you come from, so rude." Come on, put these three people out and cut them down! ”

Zhang Hao hurriedly persuaded: "The general is angry, and Yide is also offended by a momentary gaffe, and he has no intention of offending." Besides, the three of them came thousands of miles to vote, just to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo, if they killed him, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world's corporals. ”

Yuan Shu sat down again: "Since Mingde intercedes for you, I will spare you in front of Mingde, and hurry up and take your people back to Gaomi." ”

Liu Bei said: "Dong Zhuo has gone against the grain and caused chaos to the court, and we also came to the alliance out of loyalty, even if it is a small strength, it is also the power to ask for Dong." Could it be that the general doesn't really want to beg the thief, so he is bent on driving us away? ”

Yuan Shugang's anger was ignited again, and he looked at Liu Bei viciously. I obviously said that I would let you live, but I didn't expect you to still don't know what to do, since you are bent on death, I will fulfill you.

It's just that Yuan Shu hasn't broken out yet, but Cao Cao has spoken: "This Liu Xuande is right, Dong Zhuo is the enemy of the people of the world, not just the enemy of our people." If there are uninvited righteous people who come to vote during this period and are turned away, then our alliance will not become a joke in the eyes of the world. ”

Yuan Shao, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke: "Meng De is reasonable, we are just representing the people of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and we naturally can't turn away the righteous people who come voluntarily." Come and add another position to Liu Bei for Gao Mi. ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he could stay. He looked at Zhang Hao and Cao Cao gratefully, and thanked them.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, no longer paid attention to Liu Bei, but looked at Yuan Shao resentfully, becoming more and more dissatisfied with him in his heart.
