Chapter 8 Westward Expansion Strategy
At this time, a small school respectfully guided, invited Gao Cheng and Liu Bei to sit down, the actions of the two of them were at the back, Gao Cheng and Liu Bei did not show anger, but sat down very calmly.
Before coming to the alliance, Gao Cheng had already expected the attitude of these people and didn't care about it. He came to the alliance mainly to seek fame, as long as he showed his strength, let the world's celebrities and sages know that he had achieved his goal.
After sitting down, Gao Cheng had time to observe the people in the big tent, each of these princes had a lot of power, the most eye-catching of which were Sun Jian and Gongsun Zhan. However, Gongsun Chan came to the alliance and did not lead too many soldiers, so his momentum was slightly inferior.
"The princes of the Eighteen Roads, the core of which is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Kong Ling, Liu Dai, Cao Cao and Tao Qian! Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu aside, Cao Cao is the publisher of the text, and his status is somewhat transcendent. Han Fu, Kong Ling, Liu Dai, and Tao Qian are the governors of Henan, Yan, Hebei, and Xu respectively. The highest official position!"
The thoughts in Gao Cheng's heart turned quickly to straighten out the relationship between these princes. Among them, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, Dongjun guarded Qiao Mao, Shanyang guarded Yuan Yi, and Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, all of whom were nominally under the command of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou. Liu Dai alone is equivalent to the union of five princes!"
However, the reputation of Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu and Yuan Shao, who occupy Nanyang County in the imperial township, is above Liu Dai, especially Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu is still Yuan Shao's brother. Runan Yuan's protégés and former officials are all over the world, and even Han Fu was recommended by Yuan's family. That's why Yuan Shao is in the first place.
In addition to the four Taishou under Liu Dai's name, Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, took refuge in Yuan Shu, the Taishou of Nanyang, in order to get the support of grain, grass and equipment. Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao was under the jurisdiction of Tao Qian.
The remaining Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, and Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang are impartial and belong to the neutral faction, and no one can be offended. Therefore, the status of the princes of the Eighteen Roads was ranked down, Yuan Shao was the first, Yuan Shu was the second, Han Fu was the third, and Liu Dai was the fourth. Cao Cao, Kong Ling, and Tao Qian were arranged in turn.
As for Gao Cheng, the Lujiang Taishou, he belongs to the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and there is a faint gap between him and these Kwantung princes, and he was subconsciously squeezed to the end.
Gao Cheng was thinking in his heart, and suddenly sensed a gaze coming, he raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of his gaze, only to see that behind Jizhou Mu Han Fu, there were two generals wearing fine armor. One of them was a handsome man, about twenty or thirty years old, and he was looking at him.
After seeing that the other party noticed him, the heroic general also showed a smile and nodded at Gao Cheng.
Sitting above Gao Cheng is Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, who has an elegant bearing, which makes people feel good at first sight. Gao Cheng asked in a low voice: "Gong Wen, I want to ask you below, the general behind Han Gong, I don't know where it came from?"
Kong Rong is a descendant of the Confucian Confucian family, and he has already cultivated the Confucian exercises to a high and profound realm, and he can sense that Gao Cheng also has a strong soul refining cultivation, and he does not dare to underestimate him in his heart.
Hearing Gao Cheng's advice, Kong Rong did not hold his own identity, and replied in a low voice: "He is Gao Lan, a general under the command of Han Wenjie, and the other person is Pan Feng, the general of Jizhou, and it is said that they all have the courage of ten thousand people." ”
Gao Lan? Gao Cheng's heart was shocked, it turned out that the descendants of the Bohai Gao clan had arrived. His own affairs in Lujiang should have been investigated by the Bohai Gao clan. No wonder this attitude is shown.
At this time, Gao Cheng was in the official position of Lujiang Taishou, and as one of the princes of the Sour Jujube Alliance, his status had long exceeded the limit of the Bohai Gao clan. The ancestor of the Bohai Gao clan back then was just a Taishou.
Gao Cheng occupies the Lujiang River and already has the background to become a famous family in the state and county, so whether it is the Bohai Gao family or the descendants of Gao Lan, they dare not underestimate the children of Gao Cheng's branch.
Han Fu seemed to notice Gao Lan's movements, and asked in a low voice sideways, but Gao Ran did not hide it, and told Gao Cheng's identity. Han Fu's expression was abrupt, it turned out that Gao Cheng was a branch of the Bohai Gao clan. It can be regarded as being born in Jizhou.
Thinking of this, he suddenly looked at Gao Cheng differently, and faintly regarded the other party as his subordinate. Picking up the wine bottle, he raised his glass to Gao Cheng from afar.
At this time, the princes in the big tent had already begun to discuss the strategy of marching into the army, among which the Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang and Yuan Shao attacked the palace together to kill Zhang Rang, which belonged to the forces under Yuan Shao.
He has refined the Confucian exercises, and has reached an extraordinary level, seeing that everyone is talking, he can't help but sweep his eyes, and directly stand up and say: "Everyone, everyone will join forces to attack Dong Zhuo, and there must be an alliance leader to preside over the overall situation and restrain the soldiers and horses, so as to gather the strength of millions of troops......"
Everyone understood what Wang Kuang meant by standing up, and subconsciously glanced at Yuan Shao, at the moment, except for Yuan Shao, there was really no one who was qualified to be the leader of the princes' alliance.
Cao Cao had already calculated, and immediately came out and said: "At the beginning, he killed Zhang Rang for the traitor of the country, and the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, who are famous all over the world, are the first choice of the alliance leader!"
Han Fu, Kong Ling, Liu Dai and others have no opinions, Runan Yuan is the first family in the world, and Yuan Shao is the representative of the Yuan family, he does not serve as the leader of the alliance, who dares to take the throne?
Gao Cheng was at the rear, watching everyone elect one after another, his expression was indifferent, and it was not his turn to talk more about the promotion of the alliance leader.
Not surprisingly, Yuan Shao, like the original timeline, became the leader of the princes' alliance. Later, a high platform was set up outside the sour date city, and in addition to Ma Teng, the princes of the Eighteen Roads jointly made a blood alliance.
After some tossing, it seems that there is something in common, and the atmosphere between the many princes is no longer so awkward. Returning to the big tent, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat in high spirits. Begin to give orders.
"In the next Bucai, he was elected as the leader of the alliance, he must be meritorious and must be punished, he will be punished if he has a fault, attack Luoyang, and save the Son of Heaven from fire and water!"
Yuan Shao's voice spread all over the big tent, and his eyes fell on Yuan Shu, who was the first on the left, at this time, Yuan Shu's expression was implied with resentment, he was the son-in-law of the Yuan clan in Runan, but his reputation was not as big as Yuan Shao, so he was ignored by the princes. The mind is very unbalanced.
In addition, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang, divided their troops to the north, marched from Hanoi to Mengxian County, threatening the Mengjin Ferry! Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling and Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao to the south and threatened Xuanyuan Pass!
"The people and horses of the north and south are suspicious soldiers, divide Dong Zhuo's troops, and the rest of the princes are the main force, and follow me west to the revolving gate!"
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and some of their strategists have given full consideration to this strategy of marching into the army, and they complement each other, so that people can't find fault.
Among them, the revolving gate pass is one of the eight passes in Luoyang, close to Surabaya, also known as Bishui Pass.
"In the original world, Bishui Pass, Revolving Gate Pass, and Tiger Prison Pass are all one place! I didn't expect that in this world, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass are divided into two places! But it can also be understood that the area of this world is vast, and the distance between Bishui and Tiger Prison has become farther away, so there should indeed be an extra pass!"
