Ye Zhao's joining, although it is not welcome for Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, and Kong Ling, but for the soldiers under these people, it is a shot in the arm.

After all, counting Ye Zhao's past achievements, it can be said that he has not tasted a single defeat, and his prestige is enough, and having Ye Zhao join will undoubtedly make the coalition soldiers a little more confident.

Li Min pulled out the camp on the same day, hurriedly led the troops to Yingchuan to rush, the next few days, but the wind and waves were calm, there were Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu arrived, the coalition army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the momentum is growing.

But Kong Rong is okay, he has an old relationship with Cai Yong, and he is also like Cai Yong, a little pedantic, admitting death, although he is not friendly to Ye Zhao, he has never shown malice, and when he sees him on weekdays, he will say hello and say a few words.

The other few people were not so kind, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian directly ignored it, and that Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao were all in the Yuan family, and they didn't have a good face for Ye Zhao, but when they heard that Ye Zhao was so sharp before, they didn't dare to come to provoke.

Ye Zhao didn't care, these people were not the ones he chose to befriend, except for occasionally chatting with Kong Rong and Cao Cao every day, most of the time was spent training soldiers and horses.

All the elites around him were transferred, and those who remained were the new army and county soldiers who had not undergone much training.

More than ten days passed quietly, and Li Min finally arrived in Yingchuan.

Before leaving, he also specially invited Cao Cao to ask how to defend Yingchuan, Cao Cao also replied seriously, from Xuanyuan Pass to Yingchuan, must go Yangzhai, so Li Min only needs to deploy heavy troops in the Yangzhai area, even if Dong Zhuo really sent troops to attack, he is helpless, so after Li Min crossed the river, bypassed Xingyang, Aocang, and went straight to Yangzhai, in order to save trouble, did not go to Yingchuan, but went directly to Meishan, ready to go to Xuanyuan Pass and go directly to Yangzhai, so that at least two days of travel can be saved.

It's just that Li Min never dreamed that his itinerary would be targeted by Dong Zhuo's people just after crossing the river.

Rushing all the way day and night, I saw that I was about to pass Meishan, but I saw that a group of people and horses had blocked the front, and looking at the flag, it was actually Xiliang soldiers and horses!

Li Min couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this, and said in a lost voice: "Why is the Xiliang Army here?" ”

But seeing a general rushing out of the Xiliang army, he pointed the big knife in his hand at Li Min and said: "I am Xiliang Huaxiong, and the traitor will not be killed!?" ”

Li Min gritted his teeth, although he didn't know why the Xiliang army would stop him here, but the matter had come to this point, he couldn't run, most of the troops under Hua Xiong were cavalry, even if he didn't understand the art of war, he knew that these two legs couldn't run on four legs, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Soldiers, rush me!" ”

Looking at the oncoming Yingchuan soldiers and horses, Hua Xiong grinned, this feat, it's too easy!

The infantry faced the cavalry, not to mention quickly finding favorable terrain to defend themselves, but thinking about hedging with the cavalry! And looking at its formation, it is also scattered, and a group of people are swarming up, and there is no formation at all.

If the Kwantung princes were so incompetent, then in this battle, no matter how many enemy troops there were, he would have the confidence to destroy them.

"Sons, kill me~" Hua Xiong raised his long knife and roared and took the lead in killing Li Min.

More than 1,000 Xiliang iron horsemen gathered into a huge riding array, like the dark waves of hell, surging with the power of crushing everything, and the momentum that seemed to make the heavens and the earth tremble crushed down, so that the faces of the Yingchuan soldiers who rushed in front changed greatly, and before they were halfway through, some people began to turn around and escape.

It's like a sharp blade stabbing into half of the tofu, the Yingchuan soldiers were completely defeated with just a charge, and then, it was a one-sided pursuit battle, Li Min never dreamed that he had a lot of people, why would he lose so simply......

Five days later, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yang, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, and Xihe Taishou Cui Jun arrived in Suojube one after another, and the scale of the coalition army gradually formed, with nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses in each town alone.

Yuan Shao consulted with Cao Cao and convened a group of princes to discuss the choice of the leader of the alliance. Early the next morning, the princes of the Seventeenth Road raised their accounts to discuss the matter, and Yuan Shao was surrounded by all the stars and moons, in contrast, although Ye Zhao had the highest status here, but his side was quite deserted, and only Cao operated to accompany him.

"Xiuming, long time no see." Yuan Shao sat opposite Ye Zhao surrounded by everyone, as if he had just discovered Ye Zhao's existence, and said with a smile.

Now the position of the leader of the alliance has not yet been decided, this handsome position is temporarily vacant, Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao are separated from the handsome position, followed by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

"It's been a long time." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Brother Benchu is full of energy. ”

Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao and said suddenly: "It's just that I don't know why Xiu Ming killed that Wang Kuang, although there was some misunderstanding between Gong Jie and Xiu Ming in the past, but he didn't commit a crime to death, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly cooled down, and many princes who had not been on good terms with Ye Zhao before looked at Ye Zhao with unkind expressions.

"Don't be too affectionate." Ye Zhao leaned on the back of the Hu bed, glanced up at Yuan Shao and said, "Originally, what is your identity?" How dare you call me a cousin? ”

"I'm not going to talk to Xiu Ming now......" Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao deadly, wanting to pull the topic back, but was interrupted by Ye Zhao.

"If you want to call Ye Hou or a general, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, why don't you teach people etiquette and humility?" Ye Zhao directly interrupted Yuan Shao's words, frowned and said: "I am a minister in the same hall as your uncle, if he calls me a cousin, it is reasonable, but Yuan Shao, you are just a county guard, and it was your uncle who knelt in front of me to intercede for you, so I pitied him for his old age, and together with him he raised your position as the Bohai Taishou, when you came today, you didn't say thank you, but opened your mouth and closed your mouth to call me the cousin, with all due respect, is the Yuan family's style too casual?" ”

"Shao...... thanked Ye Hou for his life. Yuan Shao's face became ugly, and he arched his hand at Ye Zhao with a gloomy face.

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter, even if there is no old lady kneeling in front of me and begging bitterly, you and I have a little affection in the past, Dong Zhuo wants to harm you, how can I ignore it." Ye Zhao leaned back in his chair and smiled.

Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched twice, how Yuan Kui helped him to seek Bohai Taishou, Yuan Shao didn't know, but with Yuan Shao's understanding of Yuan Kui, it was impossible to kneel on the ground and beg Ye Zhao, then in Luoyang City, Ye Zhao was not the only one who could contribute to this matter, but the problem was that in the big tent at this moment, except for Ye Zhao, no one else was present at the time, and it wasn't what Ye Zhao said?

"Although Ye Hou and I have the grace of life, Gongjie is also my best friend, and now he died in the hands of Ye Hou for no reason, this justice, I want to get it back for him." Yuan Shao took a deep breath and pulled the topic back again.

"Who do I kill, and I have to report to Benchu?" Ye Zhao crossed his hands with ten fingers, folded them on his chest, looked at Yuan Shao with a smile, and said indifferently.

Yuan Shao reacted suddenly, only then did he realize that he had fallen into Ye Zhao's way, if at the beginning, he came to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, Ye Zhao could only deal with it, but Ye Zhao took the lead at the moment, first gave the status of both sides to the high ground, and then asked at this moment, the momentum was a little weak, and there was also a suspicion of committing the following crimes.

If it was someone else, Yuan Shao could still refute it with an improper position, but Ye Zhao's status was set during Liu Hong's period, and the titles of General Wei and Marquis of Ningxiang were also obtained during He Jin's reign, not by Dong Zhuo, he was also present at the time, and he was forced to acquiesce due to the situation, and at this moment he wanted to ask Ye Zhao again, and the taste suddenly changed.

It's just that the words have come to this, Yuan Shao didn't want to retreat, gritted his teeth and said: "Although Shao's position is not as noble as Ye Hou, Wang Kuang is also the Taishou of Hanoi, the official of the imperial court, Ye Hou is a high authority, and he has no right to dispose of him!" ”

"Wrong!" Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Where did Wang Kuang's position come from?" ”

"This ......"

"It was sealed by Dong thieves!" Ye Zhao said angrily: "I'm waiting for the princes to gather here today, this is to crusade against Dong Zhuo's rebels, but at the beginning, I wanted to speak for Dong Zhuo's ministers everywhere, which made Ben Hou a little puzzled, what did you want at the beginning?" Is this matter of discussing Dong still done? If we don't, we'll be gone, and we'll save ourselves a lot of time. ”

"Ye Hou's words are inevitably a bit strong!" A middle-aged man beside Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, how many people have official positions that are not sealed by that Dong thief, if according to what Ye Hou said, everyone here should not be killed?" ”

The speaker is Cao Zanghong, Guangling Gong, known as a man of integrity.

"That's different, everyone here is a person who should be edicted to beg for thieves, but Wang Kuangke has never responded to the edict, what do I think?" Ye Zhao said abruptly: "Besides, not long after Benhou returned to Hanoi, this person intended to murder me, which is quite suspicious!" ”

"If you want proof, I have here two letters of secret contact between the Prince's Day and the thief, can you take a look?" Ye Zhao said, took out two pieces of letterhead from his arms, and looked at everyone.

"Ye Hou, I was just angry!" Cao Cao saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "Today we are gathered here, but we are here for the righteousness, the past grievances, for the time being, now the princes are gathered here, as the saying goes, the snake is not good without a head, although we are powerful, but there is no one to lead, it is tantamount to a plate of scattered sand, today I hope to choose the leader of the alliance from among you, command the heroes, and punish the national thieves!" ”

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest, he wanted to take the lead and suppress Ye Zhao's arrogance, so that he could sit on the position of the leader of the alliance logically, who knew that the first voice failed to win people, but was ridiculed by Ye Zhao for a while, and he couldn't help but feel depressed for a while.

"Newspaper~"

The little colonel was under Cao Cao, and after coming in, he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, something happened!" ”

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and said to everyone: "Wait a while, you will come." ”

"What is it that you have to say behind someone's back?" Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao lazily and smiled.

"Some military ministers." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Since it is a military business, why don't you talk about it and listen to it, I heard that Meng De's ability to govern the army is not under Ye Hou." Yuan Shu glanced at Ye Zhao, but he didn't dare to argue with Ye Zhao.

Cao Cao hesitated, nodded and said to the little schooler, "You can tell me." ”

"Whoa!" The little colonel arched his hand and said: "The news just came that Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, was conspired by Hua Xiong, the general of the Dong thief department, at the foot of Meishan, and was defeated in Meishan. ”

"What about Li Min!?" Kong Ling frowned and said, he is the assassin of Yuzhou, and Li Min is also his subordinate.

"Li Taishou ......" The colonel glanced at everyone, swallowed his spit and said: "Li Taishou was captured by Na Hua Xiongsheng and cooked ......"

"Barbarian daring!" When the princes heard this, they changed their faces one after another, even if they killed, Huaxiong directly let people cook, such things, at least for the princes of the Central Plains, who rarely experienced wars, were definitely very cruel, not to mention that Li Min was still a famous man in Yingchuan.

On the other hand, Ye Zhao and Gongsun Zhan, veterans who have been in battle for a long time, have nothing to show off, just listen to them as stories, they have seen a lot of this kind of thing.

For a while, in the handsome tent, everyone began to scold Dong Zhuo for being cruel, but they forgot the original purpose
