Chapter 125: The Princes Meet
Let's say that Cao operates the text to reach the counties. The text said:
I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly!
After Cao Cao's document was sent, the princes of each town raised troops accordingly:

The military horses of all roads vary from number to number, there are 30,000 people, there are 120,000 people, and each leader is a civil official and military general, and he comes to Luoyang.
The princes met one after another, and each set up camp for more than 200 miles.
Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and sheep, assembled the princes, and discussed the strategy of marching into the army.
"Now that we uphold the righteousness, we should set up an alliance leader, restrain everyone, and act in moderation in order to win this battle!" Taishou Wang Kuang said.
"The first brother, the third prince of the fourth world, the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they are the descendants of the famous ministers of this dynasty, so it should be the first brother to serve as the leader of this alliance!" Cao Cao was the first to speak, and as soon as this remark came out, there were many responders.
"No, no, Brother Meng De is the initiator of this alliance, and it should be Brother Meng De as the leader of this alliance." Yuan Shao hurriedly waved his hand.
"Hey, it's a pity that one person has the future, otherwise he should be the leader of this alliance!" Cao Cao sighed.
"Who is this person?" Yuan Shao asked.
"Of course it's Liaodong Hou Zhao Feng!" Cao Cao said.
"Not bad! Zhao Feng is a person who defeated Wu Huan, Xianbei, and is powerful in all directions, and he can indeed deserve to be the leader of this alliance! Kong Rong nodded his beard.
"Humph! Rough and shallow background! How can it be compared with Yuan Benchu? Wang Kuang said.
"Heroes don't ask where they come from! Sun Shuao, aren't all sages like Guan Yiwu all people from humble backgrounds? Kong Rong argued.
"Okay, Mr. Wenju, Zhao Feng is indeed a hero, but he has a future, let's choose someone else!" Although Yuan Shao said so, he didn't care in his heart.
"I think it's still up to my brother to be the leader of the alliance! There should be no objections! Cao Cao said.
"I have no objection!"
"Neither do I!"
"I agree!"
……
The fifteen princes except Kong Rong expressed their approval, and Kong Rong shook his head helplessly and agreed.
"No, no, no, how can this be?" Yuan Shao repeatedly excused himself, and all the princes said: It must be the original! In this way, Yuan Shaofang agreed.
The next day, build three layers of Taiwan, all over the five flags, build Bai Xuan Huang Yue, the soldier will be sealed, please Yuan Shao on the altar.
Yuan Shao dressed himself and wore a sword, and then went up, burning incense and worshipping again. His alliance said: "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 together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”
After reading it, all the princes thought that they were allied. After the blood was completed, Yuan Shao stepped down, Yuan Shao rose to the tent and sat down, and the two columns sat down in the order of the age of the title.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao spoke: "Now, since the alliance leader has been established, we must obey the dispatch and jointly support the country!" Don't worry about the distribution of benefits because of which is stronger or weaker! ”
"Yuan Shao is not talented, thanks to you for being elected as the leader of the alliance!" Yuan Shao opened his mouth and said, "Within the alliance, meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished!" As the saying goes: the state has its own laws, the army has military regulations, we should abide by military discipline, don't violate it! ”
"Yes!" All the princes obeyed their orders.
"My brother Yuan Shu, responsible for the governor's grain and grass affairs, deal with the battalions, don't let anyone cut off the grain and grass, you know?" Yuan Shao gave the first order. This order seems normal, but in fact Yuan Shao is playing tricks, he is not a son-in-law, and he is afraid that Yuan Shu will compete with him, so he sent him to the rear of the army to supervise grain and grass.
"Yes!" Yuan Shu also understood what his eldest brother meant, and said a perfunctory "yes", his eyes rolled, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Second, our coalition army still needs a vanguard army, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and reach the Bishui Pass, and the rest of the people, each guarding the dangerous place, thinking that it will respond! I don't know who wants to be this pioneer? Yuan Shaofu spoke again.
Hearing this, all the princes were silent, and everyone knew that this vanguard army was a thankless task, and no one wanted to be this bird.
But there was one person, like a stunned youth, who just said after Yuan Shao's voice fell: "I want to go forward!" "I saw that this person was heroic and extraordinary, and he was wearing strong armor. It is Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Sun Wentai!
"Wentai is brave and fierce, but he should be this kind of favor!" Yuan Shao praised, go now!
"Yes!" Sun Jian promised to leave.
"Let's all go back and prepare, our army will be pressed against the Bishui Pass after Wentai!" Yuan Shao ordered.
"Yes, all the princes have also left."
……
"Brother, this time, we must preempt Sun Jian and break through Bishui Pass, in that case, even if we don't obey the military order, we can still offset the credit, and compared with this great credit, what is this small mistake?" As soon as the allies left the camp, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, instructed his younger brother Bao Zhongdao.
"Brother, don't worry, leave everything to me!" Bao Zhong patted his chest, then turned around and went out of the tent, led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and took a small road to reach Bishui Pass.
Let's say that at this time, Luoyang City.
"Report! Report to the Prime Minister! A soldier rode a horse and galloped to report, "The prime minister is not good, Cao Cao summoned the princes of the Eighteen Roads to crusade against the prime minister, at this moment, the army is almost at Bishui Pass!" ”
"What?" Dong Zhuo was shocked, "Call the generals to come to the discussion!" ”
"The army of princes is coming, what should I do?" After everyone came together, Dong Zhuo spoke.
"Father-in-law, don't panic, the princes of the Eighteen Roads, all of them are the generations of local chickens and dogs, and they are regarded as grass mustard, and they are willing to take the division of tigers and wolves to Bishui Pass, cut off the heads of the princes, and hang them at the head of Luoyang City!" Lu Bu spoke.
"Good! I have the first, worry-free! Dong Zhuo laughed.
"Prime Minister! Don't use an elephant to crack a nut? At this time, a military general came out of the column and said, "Don't go to the Marquis of Lao Wen in person." I behead the heads of all the princes, just like probing the bag and taking the ears! "I saw this person, nine feet long, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms; It is a native of Kansai, surnamed Hua, Mingxiong, the first fierce general of Xiliang before Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and crowned Huaxiong as the captain of Xiaocai. allocated him 50,000 horses and infantry troops, and went to the pass to meet the enemy at night with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen.
