When Liu Ze received Cao Cao's message, just after the New Year's Day, he ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead five hundred special elites, go to Luoyang in disguise, disguise himself, contact Shi A, and wait for the opportunity. He led 30,000 cavalry, Zhao Yundian Wei followed, and Guo Jia was the marching military division and rushed to Luoyang.

Later generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Yi, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Right Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Xiliang Ma Teng, Qiaoxian Cao Cao, Jizhou Mu Liu Ze, a total of 18 road princes, will be outside the Bishui Pass. The armies of the princes from all walks of life were 120,000, or 340,000, a total of more than 400,000 troops, encamped and encamped, stretching for more than 200 miles.

Cao Cao, as the first initiator, slaughtered cattle and horses, assembled the princes, and discussed the strategy of marching into the army. Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Now the princes of the 18th Road will be in the Tiger Prison, serve the righteousness, raise volunteers, must first establish the alliance master, and the public can only speak of the restraint before they can enter the army." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, there are many old officials, the descendants of the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, and the best choice for the leader of the alliance." Yuan Shao was about to excuse himself modestly, and Gongsun Zan said: "Jizhou Liu Rundong, after the Han clan, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain. fought two battles against Wuhuan and killed 100,000 enemies; Sent troops outside the territory and expanded the land for more than 5,000 miles. Such a meritorious deed, can't it be the leader of the alliance? Yuan Shao glanced at Gongsun Zhan resentfully, eager to draw his sword and kill him. Liu Ze said: "Zejiu is on the frontier and does not understand the general trend. Yuan Benchu was a famous man of the Han Dynasty, a scholar of martial arts, and a lot of victories. Ze proposed that Meng De said that he could be the leader of the alliance at the beginning. Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius, the crown of Confucianism, and a famous scholar of the dynasty. Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind. The princes are righteous soldiers, and they are righteous and righteous, and they are also for the king's family, and Rundong cannot shirk. "Since Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone, for two hundred years, the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, and Kong Rong was the twentieth grandson of Confucius, smart and virtuous, and well-known in the world.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Ze got up and said, "Fei Ze excuses." The princes of the Eighteen Roads knew from the beginning, if they were the leaders of the alliance, they should be like an arm and a command. Ze lives in the border, and everyone here, most of them know each other for the first time, so Ze Wei is the first to look forward. "The princes of the Eighteen Roads, each with different intentions, this alliance leader is not easy to do, and Liu Ze knows that the alliance has failed, and he is the leader of the alliance, so he will not be called incompetent. Yuan Shao saw Liu Ze repeatedly speaking for himself, and he was happy in his heart, and said: "Rundong is eloquent and strategic, and his achievements are known to the world. Cao Cao saw that everyone was hesitant and said: "How can you hesitate to raise a big thing, there is no need to shirk in the first place." Liu Ze agreed, and Yuan Shao nodded and agreed when he saw this.

So build a high platform, ten zhang high, the platform is full of five-color flags, the alliance master seal, the order flag. Yuan Shao is invited to the stage. Yuan Shao's appearance was absolutely good, he straightened his clothes, pressed his sword, and came to the stage with a sigh. Yuan Shao faced the west (Luoyang was in the west), held a lit incense candle, knelt down to worship heaven and earth and the emperor, bowed to the end, made a generous statement, and said loudly: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works with one heart to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance with Chongqing, and it is impossible to leave his life behind. The emperor and queen of heaven, the ancestors of the Ming Ling, are all learned. ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he picked up the knife, pulled out his middle finger, and dripped blood into the bowl, and the rest of the princes did the same, everyone held the big bowl, and everyone drank a mouthful of blood wine. It's for the sake of blood and for the alliance. Yuan Shao looked good, and the generosity of his words touched the idea of loyalty in everyone's hearts, and all tears and snot flowed together. After the Yuan Shao ceremony was held, everyone gathered around and came to the big tent of the Chinese army, let Yuan Shao sit in the middle, and the rest of the people were divided into left and right. Cao Cao saw that the wine had passed three rounds and the food had five flavors, so he stood up and said: "Today, the leader of the alliance is established, and you should each listen to the dispatch and support the country together, so as to consider the strength and weakness. Yuan Shao said: "Shao Bucai, you have to be elected by the princes here as the leader of the alliance, and you should abide by military discipline, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your crimes." All of you are important ministers of the country, and you have long known the affairs of the army, and you should abide by them, and you must violate them. The people obeyed. Yuan Shao said: "My brother Yuan Shu is shrewd and capable, but he can be the governor of grain and grass, deal with the battalions, and make sure that there is a shortage." A general is needed to go straight to Bishui Pass, cut the lock and clear the way for the army. The rest of you have to deal with the danger. The next person said: "I want to be a pioneer." Yuan Shao looked at it, Changsha guarded Sun Jian, and said with a smile: "Wentai is brave and can be a pioneer." So Sun Jian led his subordinates and came to Bishui Pass.

When the Bishui guard saw that Sun Jian was fierce, he insisted on retreat and sent someone to Luoyang to report urgency. Dong Zhuo was furious when he received the urgent document and wanted to personally lead the troops, Lu Bu said: "The princes of Kwantung, Tuji Wagouer, why use your father to go out on the expedition, Bu leads an army, and you can destroy it." Dong Zhuo was overjoyed and wanted to hand over the talisman to Lu Bu, but one of them came out and said loudly: "Why do you use a knife to kill chickens?" The young general is not talented, and he is willing to fight for Wen Hou and cut the heads of the generals in the eastern part of the country, such as probing for things. Dong Zhuo saw that it was Hua Xiong, the captain under the tent, who was nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist, and was extremely strong. couldn't help but be overjoyed, and transferred 50,000 Ma Bujun, let Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen be deputies, set off in the starry night, and rushed to Bishui Pass.

However, it was said that Sun Jian led the troops to the outside of Bishui Pass, Sun Jian was stubborn and stubborn, and led his four generals, namely Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and Zu Mao, to challenge the pass, Sun Jian pointed to the people on the pass and scolded: "Dong Zhuo is perverse, coercing the Son of Heaven, coercing the ministers, and helping the wicked, you will not die a good death." ”。 Huaxiong's deputy general Hu Zhen had a violent temper, and when he heard this, he led 3,000 men and horses to kill Xiaguan. Cheng Pu is the number one general under Sun Jian, and when he saw people going down, he fought on horseback, and Hu Zhen raised his gun to greet him. The two fought for a few rounds under the pass, and Hu Zhen was soft and was stabbed to death by Cheng Pu. Seeing this, Sun Jian waved his troops to fight, and the Dong army was defeated and retreated to the gate. Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to seize the pass, Hua Xiong commanded the men and horses, random arrows and wood, rolling down, Sun Jian saw that hundreds of people were broken, retreated and camped, and let people go to Yuan Shao's camp with Hu Zhen's head to report the victory, and urged Yuan Shu to ask for grain and grass.

Yuan Shu is a clever person, but he has no basic judgment in major matters. Hearing that Sun Jian was urging grain and grass and ordered it to be allocated, a person under the account said: "General, Sun Jian is brave and fierce, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, once he establishes a great achievement, won't the general be ....." said and handed a look that you understand. Yuan Shu also heard it, this Sun Wentai has always looked down on himself in his eyes, and now he has a chance, hehe, let you taste the taste of deflated. At the moment, he said to Sun Jian's envoy: "Four or five hundred thousand troops, people come every day to urge grain and grass, and in the camp, there is no grain left, let Wentai find a way to solve it himself." When the envoy heard this, he became anxious and said, "General Yuan, General Sun led a large army to fight against Dong's army at Bishui Pass, and the army must not go without food for a day." Yuan Shu changed his face, "Little Captain, roar in front of me, come on, call me out." The envoy had no choice but to go back and report to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian had no sorghum, the army did not dare to retreat, for fear that Hua Xiong would take advantage of the situation to intercept and kill, and when he hesitated, Hua Xiong heard that Sun Jian's army was short of food, and led 20,000 horses and horses to kill Sun Jian's camp in the dark night. People are iron rice and steel, Sun Jian was short of food for two days, the army had no combat power, and was killed by Hua Xiong into the camp, rushing to meet the battle, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao protected Sun Jian and walked away from the camp, Hua Xiong had already seen it, led the elite soldiers under his command, and went straight to Sun Jian. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang were separated by the chaotic army, and only Zu Mao followed Sun Jian, who listened to Hua Xiong shouting: "The one in red clothes is Sun Jian." Regardless of humility, he took off Sun Jian's coat, draped it on his body, and said loudly: "Take care of your lord." Hitting the horse diagonally, Hua Xiong saw that Pegasus caught up and cut Zi Zumao under the horse with a knife. Sun Jian was heartbroken when he saw Zu Mao being killed from afar, and returned to the coalition camp under the protection of his own soldiers.
