The princes of the Eighteenth Route raised their own troops and met outside Luoyang. These days have been a succession of people arrived, among which Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng did not arrive, but was preparing to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo's forces in Xiliang, and most of the remaining seventeen princes had arrived near Luoyang at this time, but the remaining two people did not arrive were Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan and Pingyuan County Commander Liu Bei.

"Since we arrived first, it would be better to attack this Bishui Pass together!" Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian said.

"Tao Xuzhou is right, but who can be a pioneer?" Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu asked with a small glare.

"A certain talent, I am willing to take the people of the headquarters as a pioneer!" It was none other than Changsha Taishou Sun Jian who spoke.

"It's most appropriate for me to wait for an alliance leader first, as the so-called people can't stand without a head, and a snake can't stand without a head!" It was Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu who spoke.

Cao Cao, who was sitting at the head of his left hand, narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said in his heart: "It's here!" Sure enough, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi also spoke: "My eldest brother Yuan Shao has all the military under his command, and he himself can be the leader of the alliance. ”

"I also recommend one person below, it is Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who posted the article to discuss Dong Weiwen." It was Cao Cao's friend Chen Liutai, who was guarding Zhang Miao. As soon as Zhang Miao opened his mouth, Tao Qian and Kong Rong all agreed: "Cao Mengde can be the leader of the alliance. ”

Cao Yuan and the others both have support, and everyone sees the anger growing. At this time, Cao Cao suddenly stood up and laughed: "The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, the first brother and soldier generals are Guang Ke as the leader of the alliance!" I also recommend this first brother as the leader of the alliance. ”

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, everyone was silent. At this time, Yuan Shao hurriedly stood up and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De has praised it falsely, and he is ashamed to be the leader of this alliance. Hugh to mention it again! ”

"Huh! Brother Benchu's words are wrong! Who else can be the leader of the alliance besides the original brother? Cao Cao said again. At this time, everyone also followed and said: "May Venerable be the leader of the alliance!" Yuan Shao listened to it silently on the surface, but deep down he was happy.

He saw that he couldn't excuse himself, so he sat down on the main seat along the way. Then he coughed lightly and said: "The lords are all people who know the soldiers, we gather here to crusade against Dong Thief, now that everyone has elected me as the leader of the alliance, my orders must be obeyed, and anyone who disobeys the military orders will be punished!" ”

After hearing this, everyone clenched their fists and said, "Respect the order of the Alliance!" ”

Seeing everyone's promises, Yuan Shao nodded and said, "I announce that Cao Cao should be the deputy leader of the alliance." Sun Jian was the pioneer and led the people of the headquarters to take the lead and go to Bishui Pass to set up camp! Yuan Shu is the head of the rear army, and you are in charge of the grain and grass of the army. The others will follow me as the Chinese army, and tomorrow we will set off together and go straight to Bishui Pass. ”

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, everyone agreed, and Sun Jian immediately ordered all the men and horses to kill Benshui Pass. Sun Jian is extremely fierce in battle, known as the tiger. This Sun Jian led his army out of fifty miles, and saw a group of men and horses galloping in a village from a distance, but it was Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry who was plundering here. Sun Jian looked at it and said: It's just like Naer and waiting for Liwei. So he led his men to rush forward and annihilate all this team of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

After destroying a group of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Sun Jian took a short rest and continued to advance towards Bishui Pass, and the news of his victory was also transmitted back to the Allied camp. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately said happily: "With Sun Wentai, why worry about Dong Thief's immortality!" ”

Unlike everyone who is happy, there is one person who is not happy, and this person is Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. Nanyang and Changsha are close to each other, although Sun Jian's subordinates serve him on weekdays, but Yuan Shu has always been jealous of Sun Jian. At this time, a certain soldier under his command said: "The general's Sun Jian fought bravely, and he was afraid that he would fight a battle, wouldn't it be fair to let him gain fame!" ”

"What about what you build?" Yuan Shu frowned and said.

"Why don't the general make some fuss about his grain and grass, give him more stale grain, and then ...... like this" After the strategist finished speaking, Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and said: "Go and find the quartermaster quickly!" ”

Not to mention how Yuan Shu calculated Sun Jian, just said that Sun Jian saw that it was too late and set up camp on the spot, at this time, Zu Mao, one of the four generals, stepped forward and said: "My lord, the grain and grass of our army have not been delivered yet." ”

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "How many rations does our army have?" ”

Zu Mao replied: "I only brought one day's rations with me when I set out, and tomorrow I will have no food!" ”

Sun Jian frowned and said, "In this case, I will send someone to urge me now, thinking that it is just a delay in the journey." Zu Mao opened his mouth, and retreated without saying anything. There was nothing to say all night, and the grain and grass had not been delivered in the next day, so Sun Jian had to send someone to urge the grain again.

Then he had to go forward hungry with a large group of men and horses, and he marched until noon, and at this time he was still fifty miles away from Bishui Pass. Sun Jian's army was already hungry, and finally the grain and grass were delivered.

However, when they opened it, they found that it was all moldy or insect food and grass, and they couldn't eat it at all! Sun Jian was furious when he heard the report, he already knew at this time that it must be the tricks behind Yuan Shu's back, and he couldn't wait to go back and reason with him immediately! However, at this time, it was almost under the Bishui Pass, and Sun Jian did not dare to return to the army at will without a military order, so he sent people to respond again to ask for food and grass. Then he ordered someone to screen the grain and grass he received, and choose what he could eat to fill his stomach!

He was already hungry, and he was still eating something like pig food, and everyone in the army, including Sun Jian, was full of resentment. So they marched another twenty miles, and set up camp thirty miles away from Bishui Pass.

In the evening, there was not enough grain and grass, and there was no way to reduce consumption, so Sun Jian was worth letting the soldiers rest earlier, and only hoped that new grain and grass would be delivered the next morning. It can be expected that after walking for a day, there is not enough to eat, and how low the morale of the army is. That is, there are Sun Jian and the four generals who will press it, otherwise something big will happen.

By night, even the patrol men in the camp had let their guard down, and who wanted to move around hungry. But no one in the camp noticed that a man came out of Bishui Pass, and the leader was none other than the general Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong had already made up his mind to rob the camp at night, and he wanted to give the coalition army a dismount and let them know how powerful the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was! However, when he felt the big camp, he was happy at the moment, it turned out that Sun Jian's camp at this time was full of loopholes in Hua Xiong's opinion, so Hua Xiong didn't say a word, and led the men and horses to rush in.

Sun Jian didn't eat much at night, and he also went to bed at this time. It's just that tonight somehow always feels uneasy in his heart, so he hasn't fallen asleep, and at this moment he heard a sound of shouting and killing. Sun Jian sat up abruptly.

He got out of bed and ran out barefoot, and at this time, Huang Gai, who was one of the four generals, rushed in from outside the big tent, and he shouted at Sun Jian: "Lord, go away!" Dong Thief's army has come in! ”

Sun Jian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly put on his armor and boots with the help of his own soldiers, and then rushed out with Huang Gai. At this time, seeing that a general in the camp was killing the Quartet, Sun Jian was about to step forward with a knife, but was stopped by Huang Gai and said: "The lord leaves quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”
