The three coalition armies, the princes of the Eighteen Roads gathered in sour dates.

Coming here to hold a joint ceremony of the princes was due to Yuan Shao's disgusting Yuan Shu, but also because the sour jujube is a strategic place, and the terrain is flat, which is extremely suitable for the army to be stationed. It was also chosen here because it has the Yellow River in the north and Jishui in the southeast, accounting for two of the four famous waters of the Han Dynasty. Speaking of popularity, the four famous waters are the first to recommend the 'Jianghuai River Han', which is well known to the world, but today, the four famous waters recognized by the people of the Tianhan Dynasty are not the Han River, but Jishui, which is the so-called 'Jianghuai River Ji'.

Among the four famous waters, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are divided into north and south, and the Jishui and Huaishui run through them, and in this Guangbao area, that is, the hinterland of Chinese civilization in the traditional sense. And in the long river of history, the 'Jianghuai River Han' gradually replaced the 'Jianghuai River Ji' has its certain reasons, with the passage of history and the change of landform, and the Yellow River has been diverted to the south many times, and the Ji River enters the sea (as well as the Hai River into the sea, the Huai River into the sea), so far the Ji River has completely disappeared in the long history, and now the Yellow River in the North China Plain is basically along the Ji River old road into the sea, now can be verified places, such as Jishui Anning, Jining City is the original Jishui middle to the north place.

Now the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Daqing River (the original site is a section from Dongping Lake to the mouth of the Yellow River), Xiaoqing River (a small section of the river that flows into the Yellow River in the west of Dong'e Town, is called Xiaoqing River), which is the original Jishui old road. Jiyang County and Jinan City, which are now on the banks of the Yellow River, are the best proof of this.

The sour jujube is between the Yellow River and Jishui, and to the west is Xingyang, where Xu Rong's garrison is located, which is the forefront of the three coalition forces, and the alliance is held here. The implications are far-reaching.

Early tomorrow morning is the time for the alliance to elect the leader of the alliance, and Liu Lan, who has nothing to do, once again studied all kinds of banners and soldiers' armor in the alliance. And under the curiosity of Zhang Fei and others, he patiently analyzed it for them: "Virtue is established." The color it admires, the color of the country, must also be in line with its virtues, only in this way can the country run smoothly and smoothly under the protection of God.

Since the Yellow Emperor Tude, there have been four generations of Xia Shuide, Shang Jinde, Zhou Huode, and Qin Shuide, but in the previous dynasty Gaozu, Zhang Cang thought that Qin Guozuo was too short and tyrannical and unreasonable, and did not belong to orthodoxy, and should be replaced by the Han Dynasty Huode of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Zhengshuo of the Han Dynasty should be the virtue of water. In this regard, the Han Dynasty Chengshuide, and to the time of Emperor Wu, he thought that Qin belonged to the orthodox dynasty, and changed the Han Zhengshuo to Tude (because of Tukeshui), and the Han Dynasty Tude was not until Wang Mang established a new dynasty, and only then did Liu Xiang and Liu Xin father and son Huode say that the Han Dynasty belonged to Huode. In the early years of this dynasty, after Emperor Guangwu recovered the Han Dynasty, he officially recognized the statement of Huode. Since then, our Han Dynasty has completely established the virtue of virtue with fire.

Huo De is still red, and the flag costumes are all red, while Tude advocates yellow, and the flag costumes are all earthy yellow. Mude advocates cyan and blue, and Jinde advocates white, and the reason why Jinde is still white. It is a good omen that silver overflowed the mountains when the Yin Shang Dynasty rose, and it was to worship white.

And our dynasty and the Zhou dynasty are both fire virtues. And because the ancestors of the Zhou family got the red black talisman, it is mainly red since then.

Come and see. Among the many coalition armies, there are many of them whose banners and costumes are red, such as a few coalition troops such as our Liaodong Army and Cao Mengde's department, which shows that we are self-proclaimed to be orthodox Han and are here to fight the chaos and quell the thieves.

"Look there again!" Liu Lan pointed to the direction where Kong Rong's troops are located, this person has always been a Wenchen, not like me and Meng De belong to the Han army, the army's armor and flag are mainly green, and its meaning is nothing more than to use Mude to help the fire.

And with Kong Beihai in general, there is also Tao Qian of Xuzhou there, but Tao Xuzhou is a little ingenious, and he has made the fire virtue as the main, the wood virtue as the supplement, and the armor and banner are red and blue, although it seems to be the most bizarre prince in the alliance, but its original intention is nothing more than the same as Kong Beihai is to hope that the fire of the Han Dynasty can burn more and more.

As far as I know, after Dong Thief entered Beijing, the soldier's armor and banner were changed to black, black belongs to water virtue, and water overcomes fire, so Dong Thief's ambition is obvious, because of this, you see that the garrison under Yuan Shao's account over there is yellow, and the yellow is Tude, and the soil is water, that is, it deliberately targeted Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City.

Everyone listened to the lord's analysis, and there was really some truth.

While talking, Liu Lan suddenly found Cao Cao standing alone on a mound in the distance, and was quite surprised, he came here because he refused to go to participate in the banquet of the princes, but why did Cao Cao, who invited him, not in the general account at the moment, but also ran outside the barracks?

Liu Lan walked over, the slight sound immediately alerted Cao Cao, and when he turned sideways, his palm had already touched the sword at his waist, but after discovering Liu Lan, his tight palm immediately relaxed, and forced out a smile: "It's De'an." ”

"Why is Mengde here?"

Cao Cao smiled, but did not answer this question, he only thoroughly comprehended the small abacus of the princes from all walks of life in the general ledger today, and now even Dong Zhuo has not been punished, and has begun to plan what to be the three princes and nine kings after the matter is completed, looking at the villain-like faces, Cao Cao can no longer stay in the general ledger, and got up and came to this small mound, looking at the beautiful scenery before sunset, and admiring the lights of the line with a radius of 100 miles.

Cao Cao was distracted, very heavy, Liu Lan followed his gaze, the lights of the line were dazzling in the twilight, the military flag hunting, the sound of fighting, this is only a spectacular beauty unique to the military camp, Liu Lan is no stranger to the beautiful scenery in front of him, and even after looking at it for many years, he still feels that this beautiful scenery is very magnificent, but just like he and Cao Cao are worried, this scene is too harmonious, and there is no sense of slaughter that belongs to the battlefield at all.

In Zhang Fei's words, when they came here, it was not like marching and fighting at all, but more like playing.

How appropriate, if Cao Cao can hear it, he will definitely take it as a confidant. The extravagance in the camp will only make the princes of all walks of life who originally rebelled for the Xinghan family depressed.

"Dean, do you think we'll have a chance of winning?" Cao Cao suddenly turned to Liu Lan and asked softly.

"Meng De shouldn't ask me, you are more familiar with the current situation than me."

"If you want to know that today's banquet is like that, you should not go to the meeting like De'an." Cao Cao sighed, looking a little lonely, it was the helplessness of having more than enough strength to do it, and he said such a paragraph in his heart, becoming a sorrow and a defeat in peace.

He asked Liu Lan, just to get an answer, but this answer, just like Liu Lan said, he had already gotten it.

But for the sake of the Han family, even if you know the answer, you can't take a step back! (To be continued......)
