"Alas! The first emperor had many sons in his early years, but unfortunately died one after another, so that only two sons and one daughter remained, and now he has lost another son. There is a son and a daughter left, and they must be kept no matter what! ”

After hearing Xun You's words, Liu Fan nodded and said with a sigh.

"Far from it, only Wang Mang usurped and destroyed Han Zuo. When Dong Zhuo took a closer look at his power, his purpose must be Wang Mang. Dong Zhuo is the great thief of the country, killing the lord and the remnants. Heaven and earth are blessed, and people and gods are sick. King Zhao, generals, who has a strategy for marching, can explain in detail, let's do it together, enter Luoyang, and kill Dong Zhuo! ”

Beihai Taishou Kong Rong said loudly to the princes from all walks of life.

"Kong Beihai is reasonable, we can't allow Dong thieves to run rampant anymore, otherwise, Han Ding will not exist!"

Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to say a word."

At this time, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang put down his wine glass and got up, and waved to Liu Fan and the princes from all walks of life.

"The so-called single tree does not make a forest, and the princes of our eighteen roads gather in Suojube, each encamped and set up camp, connecting more than 200 miles, with more than 400,000 soldiers and horses. With so many soldiers and horses, a large amount of grain and grass is needed, otherwise it will be in vain. If we fight separately, it will be difficult to defeat the 200,000 Xiliang army of Dong thieves, so we can only jointly elect an alliance leader, and the generals will obey the constraints, and then march to fight the thieves. ”

Wang Kuang slowly suggested to the princes.

"The leader of the alliance must be a loyal minister of noble virtue, prestige, and far-reaching influence."

Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao said to the princes, but he did not say the exact name.

But in terms of prestige, the influence is far-reaching. No one can compare with the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world. Obviously, Zhang Miao is talking about Yuan Shao. The main thing is that Liu Fan is here, otherwise he would openly recommend Yuan Shao.

Among the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is a concubine, and Yuan Shu is a concubine.

The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, the son is more precious than the mother. Yuan Shao's mother is Fu Wan, and the land is very cheap.

But Yuan Shao can excel among the children of the Yuan family.

One comes from the fact that Yuan Shao is the eldest son of the Yuan family, and his father Yuan Feng is the head of the Yuan family and the third duke.

Yuan Kui has no heirs, so Yuan Shao's status is high.

Moreover, Yuan Shao has a good face and prestige. often puts on the appearance of a corporal who is a courteous corporal, and there are countless monks, and his reputation is far and wide.

And Yuan Shu, who liked rangers when he was young, was a scoundrel.

The rangers of this era were highly respected and respected by the aristocracy.

But compared with Yuan Shao, the gap between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao opened up in an instant.

There will be no so-called loyal ministers among the princes.

It is impossible for a loyal vassal to be a prince.

became a loyal minister of one of the princes, but soon became a rebel.

Just like the sheep continued, I have been a Nanyang Taishou for a few years. Nanyang has 37 cities, 500,000 households, and a population of 2.4 million, making it the largest county in the world. Yang continued not to use the reputation of the Taishan Goat clan to run Nanyang and recruit troops. Instead, as a last resort, he resigned and left.

Yuan Shu had an opportunity to become the Taishou of Nanyang and control this great Nanyang Basin. In addition, to the east of Nanyang is Runan County.

Runan County is the territory of the Yuan family, and Runan also has 37 cities, with 400,000 households and a population of 2.1 million, making it the second largest county in the world after Nanyang.

As long as Yuan Shu operates a little, he can hold these two major counties and walk in front of all the princes.

Yuan Shao also understood this, he knew that his younger brother would not listen to him, so he went to Jizhou, and he also had his own plan.

The Yuan family has two people, one south and one north. Proud of the world.

After Zhang Miao finished speaking, the princes from all walks of life whispered to each other.

Among those present, only Liu Fan and Yuan Shao had the ability to compete for the position of alliance leader, and none of the others had this qualification.

The house of the third prince of Yuan Shao IV has much more influence in Shandong and the Central Plains than Liu Fan. As ferocious as Dong Zhuo, he didn't dare to blatantly kill Yuan Shao.

Liu Fan is not only the king of Zhao, but also served as a hussar general and a scholar of Lushang. In terms of merit, Yuan Shao is poor, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up with him in his lifetime.

But most of the princes of all walks of life are people of interest. Liu Fan is far away, and Yuan Shao is close at hand.

"Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and after the Han Dynasty, he can be the leader of the alliance!"

This sentence was originally said by Cao Cao in history, but Cao Cao hesitated at this time, and was said by Zhang Yang, the party guard.

"No! King Zhao has the talent to govern thousands of armies and horses, and his voice is among the people and shocked by the troubled times. It can deter Dong thieves even more. ”

Kong Rong stood up and recommended Liu Fan.

For a while, everyone looked at Yuan Shao and Liu Fan.

They wanted to see what the two of them had to say, and whether they would recommend themselves as alliance leaders.

"This king believes that the leader of the alliance cannot be judged by prestige. We are going to lead the army against the thief, not to assist. Dispatching hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses is not child's play, not the material of a general, and cannot be the leader of the alliance. ”

Yuan Shaozheng sat silently, and Liu Fan spoke.

"What kind of general can be the leader of the alliance? Is King Zhao talking about himself? ”

Kong Lingzhi's question is exactly what all the princes are thinking.

Among the people who have experienced or commanded many battles on the scene, you Liu Fan are the only ones, are you putting gold on your face?

"If you are a general, if you can detect his treachery, serve his troubles, and be obeyed by the people......"

Liu Fan said word by word to all the princes, but before he finished speaking, Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "I can do this, can I be the leader of the alliance?"

"No, this is the general of the ten."

Liu Fan shook his head and said.

The princes from all walks of life laughed. Yuan Shu's face turned red, and he picked up the wine glass and poured it hard.

He thought Liu Fan was humiliating him.

"Sleep at night, secret words." When Liu Fan said this, he looked at the princes and said, "This is the general of the centurions."

"Straight and thoughtful, brave and able to fight, this is a thousand generals."

This sentence made the princes disagree, and they wanted to hear Liu Fan continue to say the next thing.

"The appearance is constant, the feelings are fierce, the people are industrious, the people are hungry and cold, the reward will be punished, and the reward and punishment are fair. This is the general of ten thousand people. ”

Liu Fan's voice was strong and fast, like a big bell, ringing in the ears of all the princes.

There is majesty on the outside, enthusiasm on the inside, can fully understand the hard work of the soldiers, can feel the hunger and cold, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

The princes wondered if they had done this. Many people think about it a little and don't dare to think about it.

In the end, only Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian nodded.

"Virtuous and energetic, cautious every day, honest and lenient, idle and chaotic. Arrange the troops, the art of war, the emergency response, and the combination of odd and positive. This is a hundred thousand generals. ”

Liu Fan said this sentence loudly, and his face was full of confidence.

100,000 soldiers and horses, no one has ever commanded, I don't know how it feels.

But what Liu Fan said is very reasonable. Without the ability to command the ten thousand armies, how to command the more than 400,000 allied forces of the sour date.

"Even if King Zhao thinks that he is a general of 100,000 people, but there are more than 400,000 soldiers and horses in the sour date? How can a hundred thousand men be in command? In my opinion, the army should be divided into four divisions, and four generals of 100,000 men should be in command. ”

Yuan Shu found the loopholes in Liu Fan's words and came to take Liu Fan's army.

He can't fight for the position of the leader of the alliance. But if it is divided into four parts, there must be a seat for him Yuan Shu.

100,000 generals, he thought he could do it too.
