Chapter 373: The 20th Road Princes Suning—5
Yuan Shao never expected that Suning would only send one of his subordinates to participate in this alliance. However, in view of Suning's great contributions in the past wars, as well as the huge battlefield he had just rolled out in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao did not have enough capital to choose to argue with Suning, so he could only accept such an arrangement. But when she told Tao Tao the news, Tao Tao immediately suggested to him, the hand sent by Suning is likely to have an unusual history, Cao Cao has never been able to figure out where Suning found so many people who look similar to him, and even if they are similar in appearance, they should not have the same powerlessness as him. So Cao Cao thinks this is the best time to observe these so-called stand-ins.
For this, Yuan Shao obviously didn't have enough curiosity, so he didn't pay too much attention, but Cao Cao was extremely enthusiastic about the arrival of this wave of people, and he even traveled hundreds of miles to greet him in person.
Although Suning only brought 2,000 yuan, there were many senior generals hidden among these 2,000 people. As for why he brought so many generals here, it was mainly to understand the combat ability of the various princes and the effective combat pox ingredients under their command. After all, they will most likely become Suning's main enemies in the Central Plains direction.
Although according to Suning's existing strategic plan, the time for him to make an attack posture in the direction of the Central Plains should not be earlier than 200 AD, but in order to prevent the possibility of a large-scale war. He still brought the main generals who will play a mainstay role in all directions in the future, and of course, Dian Wei, who was brought in for his own safety, was not among them.
This heavy cavalry general, who is currently in the Liangzhou system and already has a prestige reputation, is supposed to appear on the battlefield in the river to meet his prestige, which is probably enough to make the Sogdians tremble, but it is a pity. Lian Wei suffered some minor injuries in the war with Kangju last year, so he missed several classic battles with the Rest Empire. As for the previous campaigns against the Hedong region and the Sindh region, because the army to which he belonged did not receive the task of attacking, he spent those two years near the pastures in the Hexi Corridor, which made his resume a little unbrilliant in the Liangzhou system.
But even so, no one can question his ability on the battlefield, at least on the battlefield of Bingzhou, which has just won a stage victory, his prestige has once again terrified the enemy, and the fisherman Luo of the Southern Huns has surrendered completely two months ago, although it is not like Suning, and his head was taken down by this Dian Wei in front of him.
In addition, most of the Central Plains generals who did not participate in the battlefield on the Western Front, including Zhao Yun, appeared in the team of this alliance, and Suning brought almost all the essences of his subordinates, but Yuan Shao did not take these essences to heart.
For Yuan Shao's attitude, although Suning had expected it for a long time, he still sighed slightly in his heart, this swordsman of the rivers and lakes is not comparable to Cao Cao after all, and fortunately, the last few decades of the Han Dynasty were not controlled by this guy, otherwise, the future Chinese civilization does not know what unfortunate things will happen.
However, what Cao Cao was able to bring to the Chinese civilization did not seem to be all good things, at least when he faced the nomadic tribes in the north, what he could do was only to use the residual power left by the Han Dynasty. The leader of the Wuhuan, Qiu Liju, will be in the following period. became Cao Cao's important opponent, but what Cao Cao could do was far less than that of several powerful ministers before the Han Dynasty, of course, the power that Cao Cao could use was far behind his predecessors. But even so, Suning didn't think that Cao Cao really exerted his full strength, and some battles might be more perfect, especially those against the Southern Xiongnu.
Of course, now Suning does not need to worry about the threat of the Southern Xiongnu in 200 years.
But he still hopes to be able to meet more heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in today's alliance, the purpose is not to contact them with feelings, let alone out of the psychology of traversers, collecting celebrities, according to his current situation, talents in various fields and different eras have come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty through his summoning system, even if he has a habit in this area, he should be fully satisfied now, so the only thing he has to do now is to collect the losers on the battlefield of the Central Plains, Then send them to the battlefields of the Western Front.
Even he was ready to use feudal means to give them a part of the area and let them govern, on the one hand, he wanted to find more baskets for the eggs of Chinese civilization, and on the other hand, he was willing to see these people contribute to his Chinese expansion plan.
Of course, not everyone is willing to follow him and go to such a distant place to retreat, in a bureaucratic society like the Eastern Han Dynasty, these high-ranking and powerful guys are often old, and they can't afford the hard work of a long journey, so I am afraid that only some slightly younger middle and senior generals can be wooed, but even so, Suning also feels that the harvest this time should not be too small.
Of course, some characters in one of the Three Kingdoms, he is still not ready to pry the corner of the wall directly, for example, Liu Bei, who is walking in front of him at this time, without getting Guan Yu, Liu Bei's strength may still not be underestimated, after all, he still has his senior brother Gao Shun by his side. And the short-tempered Zhang Fei seems to have become his right-hand man, just like the original history. Suning and Zhang Fei, people with style are very close to each other, and without three or five sentences of greetings, the two of them are together harmoniously. Liu Bei on the side obviously admired Suning for a long time, after all, on the battlefield of the Yellow Turban Army that year, the two of them were also regarded as robes.
Liu Bei is one of the late princes of all walks of life, so he can only take the title of a 19th prince in addition to the 18th princes, and Suning, who is behind him, is even worse, it seems that he can only get the title of a 20th prince, but Suning doesn't care about this at all, but instead takes out this matter and ridicules Liu Bei, claiming that he and Liu Bei are brothers.
Liu Bei couldn't laugh or cry about this, of course he wouldn't miss it, this was a good opportunity called Suning, and he just didn't hear some of the words that Suning said. On the contrary, he also wanted to use this opportunity to show his calligraphy, so that he could show his demeanor as a descendant of the royal family in front of other princes. And judging from the current situation, everything this person has done has been achieved, and the feedback is very good, at least Cao Cao will cast an attentive eye on his position from time to time.
Because the two brothers and sisters came too late, when the princes from all walks of life gathered in the big tent to discuss matters, the two of them almost became like keepers, not only were they arranged near the gate. Neither cared for by the warm drinks, nor could I hear what most people were saying.
Sometimes Suning would think that if Zhang Fei at this time suddenly jumped out, ran to the overlord Xiang Yu like Fan Xu back then, boiled his throat twice, and then asked for a piece of pork leg to chew a few bites, would it have the effect of stunning the world, but then he thought about it, even if Zhang Fei had the bravery and ability of Fan Xu, Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the top, did not have the same magnanimity as Xiang Yu.
All in all, that guy doesn't deserve to see that kind of green effect, which also makes Suning a little disappointed, if it is his own words that sit in that position, Zhang Fei's move can even be passed down through the ages in the form of oil paintings.
It is said that he really brought a few painters these times, and he wanted to bring everything that happened here only down, at least bring it back to collect it for future generations to see. If he could, he was going to print these paintings and use them as illustrations in newspapers or textbooks, thinking that such realistic paintings would definitely add a lot of luster to the textbooks, at least not as they would have been the case with the textbooks compiled many years later.
If his plan has not yet begun to be implemented, I heard that Yuan Shao's people have begun to discuss the matter of making himself an official and knighted, although the Chinese pay attention to the improper name and do not speak well, in other words, if he Yuan Shao does not have a decent official title, then no one seems to want to listen to what he says, but even so, before Dong Zhuo was eliminated, he hurriedly put grease and powder on himself, which seems to be too unusual.
But none of the princes present at the meeting objected to this, because they knew that Yuan Shao would not forget them after he was crowned an official and knighted, and they also counted on the names that fell on them to bring more practical benefits to themselves, especially the promotion of official positions, which was almost directly related to the expansion of territory, so they also expected that Yuan Shao, and even Dong Zhuo, whom they were going to deal with, would be able to bring them more political benefits. And in fact, what happened, almost as they expected, Yuan Shao added the title of a chariot general to himself, and did not forget to increase the political prestige for these followers of his, Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City after learning that a large number of princes from all walks of life had gathered in the Kwantung region, he also began to use the power in his hands to divide and win over the undetermined people in this group of people, so a large number of people have been given official positions by Dong Zhuo, unfortunately, among the official positions that have been given, There are many conflicts with Yuan Shao, which means that the two officials who were appointed to a place by the two at the same time may have to fight in that place, maybe this is what Dong Zhuo wants to see, but unfortunately, these big people today have fewer and fewer things to take into account, because they will directly face the test of survival, after all, no one wants to hand over their fate to others, so they can only seize any opportunity they can get to fight for enough power, Even if their appointment comes from Dong Zhuo, who is going to be jointly recruited this time, they are also happy to do it.
For this series of chaos, Suning and Liu Bei sitting at the gate have a panoramic view, the two of them are not used to this group of mediocre and incompetent people, but compared to their status now, it is really embarrassing to say these words, Liu Bei's current identity is still relatively humble, which is mainly caused by his resume and strength not enough to support too high prestige, but Suning does not have such a big shortcoming in this regard, on the contrary, his prestige in the army is almost unmatched, however, As the leader of the allied forces in the Kansai region to defeat Dong Zhuo, it was really surprising that he suddenly appeared in the Kwantung Alliance. If it weren't for Yuan Shao being the one who invited him, I'm afraid he would feel that this guy was here to snatch his power, and as for the remaining princes, they regarded him as a second enemy in addition to gambling, and this enemy was all in front of him, and it was inconvenient to directly oppose him, so it seemed even more dangerous than Dong Zhuo.
Suning could understand the barriers in the hearts of these princes, but he did not communicate with these people prematurely, because he knew that in the process of this joint crusade against Dong Zhuo, many interesting things would happen, and for these things, different princes would have different attitudes, at that time, Suning would uphold a similar attitude to them, close to the people he was willing to approach, and in that case, almost all the princes would feel the test from survival, Suning's approach, It will open a new door for them. While gaining new choices, they will also experience the resonance of Suning with the ideas in their hearts.
This kind of routine has been prepared by Suning for a long time, but unfortunately, he can't show it too arbitrarily now, because he doesn't know if Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu allows himself to play tricks on this stage, if not, then he is afraid that he will face a targeted premeditation.
It is likely that this premeditation will not be carried out peacefully, which means that he will face a big battle away from home, and the opponent will be the number two or number three in the territory. For this reason, he may have to pay attention to reining in his edge while preparing in secret.
It was around this time that the Allies finally came to the front of Bishui Pass, where they would face the most formidable opponent of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Lü Bu, who was known as Wenhou. Suning and Lu Bu have fought each other, but he is not ready to play for Yuan Shao, so he is ready to watch a good show during this period.
