Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beginning of the Alliance
Originally, according to Han Yan's meaning, there were so many soldiers and horses stationed in Sujuo, and it would inevitably be chaotic when something happened at that time, so it was better to go closer to Luoyang and be stationed directly in Yuanwu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard foam of hole melting, and finally chose sour jujubes.
After rushing for almost a month with soldiers and horses, Han Yan didn't even bring out the camp tent that night after arriving at the sour date, and slept directly in the camp tent until dawn.
And the next day, before dawn, the camp was already busy.
"Childe? Son! ”
Outside the tent, a voice rang out, calling out to Han Yan softly.
Han Yan, who woke up from his sleep, didn't need to guess to know that Huang Zhong was calling himself, after all, this title is now used by no one else except him. Rubbing his eyes slightly, Han Yan laboriously sat up from the bed and said in a muffled voice, "Han Sheng! What's going on? You came to call me so early in the morning. ”
"Childe! The 'rebel army' from all walks of life has arrived, and now they are ready to join the alliance, do you still want to go, Childe? ”
Huang Zhong, who was outside the tent, spoke in an unhurried voice, slowly talking about what was happening outside.
"They're going to make an alliance? Why so early? They don't even have to sleep! Han Yan, who felt a little annoyed, raised his hand and scratched the top of his head twice, then took a deep breath and said, "In this way, you wait for me, I'll come right away!" ”
This kind of thing, Han Yan still has to go, no matter what, this has already come, so it is impossible to go in vain. The most important thing now is to get to know the 'allies' on your side first, and save yourself from messing up and hitting the wrong person.
After cleaning up a little, Han Yan got dressed and got up and left the camp. Walking outside the camp gate with Huang Zhong, he saw a high platform set up in the middle of many camps outside, with about a dozen flags planted on it, and I don't know which one it is.
Just when Han Yan stopped to look into the distance, a figure flashed out from behind the camp gate, and as soon as he saw Han Yan, he immediately clenched his fists and shouted, "Young Master!" ”
"Huh? It's a public station! Why do you wake up so early? ”
As soon as Han Yan turned his head, he immediately saw Chen Gong who was in high spirits, and as soon as he raised his hand, he greeted him.
"Yes! Today it is said that the princes will be in the alliance, so naturally I want to go and see the excitement! ”
nodded, but Chen Gong's gaze was always in the direction of the high platform, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hmm~~~, that's it!" After pondering for a while, Han Yan felt that he seemed to be a little reckless, waved his hand to Huang Zhong, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Han Sheng, you go and call Tongda to me!" ”
"Yes!"
Huang Zhong answered, turned and left.
The alliance of princes is naturally indispensable, so it is naturally best to have a person who can speak well by your side. Of course, Han Yan still has Sun Guan and others by his side, but Chang Yan can't help much except for wrapping up the mess, Yin Li's intrigue can be very difficult to debate with others, as for Sun Guan himself, Han Yan felt that he had brought a lot of people, so he didn't consider him.
However, Han Yan thought simply, and when Huang Zhong brought people back, Han Yan found that not only Hu Min, but also Sun Guan and others had followed.
"Hansheng, you ...... Alas! ”
Looking at these people walking one after another, Han Yan felt a little headache, who would bring such a group of people? Counting them, there are already seven of them.
"My lord, when we get over there in a while, the three of us will wait below for the dispatch, so we won't go up with us."
As soon as Sun Guan saw Han Yan's embarrassed look, he immediately guessed Han Yan's thoughts and hurriedly explained.
"Alright then!"
Seeing that Sun Guan said this, Han Yan couldn't dismiss a few more people, so he could only nod and walk in the direction of the high platform first.
When they reached the high platform, the people had almost arrived, only a few seats were still empty, and most of the rest were seated.
"Yikes! Here's a letter! ”
Yuan Shao, who had already occupied the first seat, saw Han Yan slowly walking up from under the high platform, and hurriedly stood up and strode up to meet him.
"Brother Benchu!"
Looking at Yuan Shao, who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, Han Yan hurriedly gave up his hand and made a move.
"Haha! They all say that they believe that you are coming, but I still don't believe you, and this is really ...... Come on, sit here, sit here! ”
Yuan Shao laughed loudly, grabbed Han Yan's wrist with his left hand, and pulled Han Yan to the seat next to the first place.
Quietly, Han Yan twisted his right hand, broke free from Yuan Shao's restraints, looked at Yuan Shao who stopped and frowned at him, arched his hand, and said: "Brother Benchu, you believe that you are coming with Lord Beihai Kong today, so you won't be noisy." ”
"How's that going to work? That hole melts ......"
As soon as he heard Han Yan's words, Yuan Shao's eyebrows suddenly squeezed out the word 'Chuan', and he stretched out his hand to pull Han Yan's wrist again.
"I think that's it! If you insisted on doing this at the beginning, what should you do with Kong Beihai? Where does his face go? Before this alliance began, our own family was in chaos, which was not our original intention! ”
Looking at Han Yan and Yuan Shao, who were arguing, Cao Cao stood up from his seat expressionlessly and said loudly.
That is, Kong Rong has not yet arrived, if Kong Rong is here, if he holds a grudge against Yuan Shao and doesn't say it first, the color on his face is definitely not good-looking, and when the time comes, if he really wants to make trouble, everyone present will inevitably be embarrassed.
Feeling the gaze of everyone towards him, Yuan Shao's heart was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to turn his face with most people, so he could only glare at Cao Cao viciously, and walked towards his seat.
"Come, there is a letter, sit here!"
Looking at Yuan Shao who turned around, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and then he stopped looking at Yuan Shao, and instead greeted Han Yan.
"This ...... It still depends on where Kong Beihai sits......"
In the face of Cao Cao's invitation, Han Yan didn't dare to agree directly, after all, he explained to Yuan Shao just a few breaths ago, and now he would have a bad relationship with Yuan Shao by sitting directly over.
"Huh! This is really a coincidence, Kong Beihai's seat is next to Cao Mengde......"
Neither yin nor yang, Yuan Shu, who was nesting next to Yuan Shao's seat, suddenly spoke, and his words were mostly sarcastic about Han Yan, but his eyes kept looking at Cao Cao.
"Oh? What a coincidence! ”
Han Yan's eyebrows raised slightly, glanced at Yuan Shu, and said with deep meaning.
You must know that Cao Cao's seat is already at the back of this group of people, but Cao Cao's position in Luoyang was not high before, and now he only has those 5,000 people, and he is also named under Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, so it is normal for such a seat. But that Kong Rong is also the first person in Beihai Country, why is the seat so far back?
With a stomach full of questions, Han Yan walked to the seat beside Cao Cao, turned around and sat down. Hu Min, Huang Zhong and Chen Gong, who were following behind Han Yan, also took a few steps closer when they saw this and stood behind Han Yan.
"Come, there is a letter, I will introduce you to some, this is ......"
Seeing that Han Yan was sitting firmly, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed Han Yan's wrist, and compared his hand to a middle-aged man on his right, and he was about to introduce Han Yan.
Han Yan raised his left hand and waved it slightly, then withdrew his right hand from Cao Cao's hand, clasped his fists and said, "Needless to say, this is Lord Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao Zhang, right?" Long admiration! Long admiration! ”
The middle-aged man who was originally smiling couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face after hearing Han Yan's words, and his hands, which had already been raised to make a move, also stopped moving, not knowing what to do.
"Haha! I believe in you! After laughing twice, Cao Cao shook his head, raised his hand and pressed down the middle-aged man's closed hands, "There is a letter!" You guessed wrong, the one over there is Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao. And this is Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao! ”
"Huh? This...... This ......"
Hearing Cao Cao's explanation, Han Yan was immediately stunned.
According to Cao Cao's gesture, it was Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao who was sitting across a chair from Zhang Chao. However, Cao Cao didn't sit next to Zhang Miao, why did Zhang Miao's younger brother still have a seat across from Zhang Miao?
"Yes, you want to ask why there is an empty chair there, right?" Seeing Han Yan's doubts at a glance, Cao Cao smiled slightly and explained, "That's the seat left for Kong Beihai, after all, he is also a prince all the way, and the seat shouldn't be below us!" ”
"Oh! I see! Nodding, Han Yan understood what Cao Cao meant, but he didn't have time to think about it, he raised his hand and greeted Zhang Chao, "It was really ...... just now I hope that Lord Zhang will not blame! ”
"Where the words! Where the words! I have admired the talent and name of Young Master Han for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really embarrassing! ”
Faced with Han Yan's apology, Zhang Chao hurriedly returned the salute and was polite to Han Yan.
"Lord Zhang is polite, polite!"
Han Yan was polite to Zhang Chao, but his eyes had already turned to the other side and he observed quietly.
On the high platform, there is a row of seats on the left and right, and there is a larger chair in the middle, which is a little higher than the person next to it. Without other people's explanations, Han Yan could guess that this was to elect a leader, but now that Yuan Shao was sitting there directly, it seemed that this matter was not so simple!
"What? How many people do you recognize if you have a letter? ”
Looking at Han Yan who was carefully observing beside him, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.
"How many people do you recognize? I don't recognize a few people! Shaking his head with emotion, Han Yan pointed in the direction of Yuan Shu and said, "It's Yuan Shu over there, if I'm not mistaken, next to him should be his clan brother Yuan Yi." Sitting opposite Yuan Shu was the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, and next to the Qiaomao was Wang Kuang, the former general's mansion......"
"Hey! If you have a letter, you are wrong, now this Wang Kuang, you should call people Hanoi is too guarded! ”
Cao Cao stopped with his hand and interrupted Han Yan's next words, but when he talked about Wang Kuang, his eyes were indescribably contemptuous.
"Tsk, that's a ......"
After smacking his mouth twice, Han Yan immediately understood what Cao Cao meant, this Wang Kuang's position was appointed by Dong Zhuo!
"Alas! Oh, yes! Who's to say it isn't? ”
With a long sigh, Cao Cao also nodded with emotion.
If Dong Zhuo could have thought that so many 'wise men' he had appointed would collude with him to rebel as soon as he took office, I am afraid that he would never have done such a thing in his death. But it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao has some disgust for people like Wang Kuang!
After receiving favors, he didn't know how to repay them, but after turning around, he repaid virtue with resentment, which was also very disgusting in Han Yan's heart, but unlike Cao Cao, Han Yan did not show it on the bright side.
And behind Han Yan, who didn't notice, Chen Gong looked at Han Yan and Cao Cao's stark reactions, his eyebrows and eyes were relaxed and wrinkled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Just when Han Yan was chatting with Cao Cao boringly, a small colonel ran over from afar, and shouted in a loud voice as he ran: "Report~~~!" ”
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Shao, who was chatting happily with Qiao Mao beside him, frowned when he heard the voice of the little school, and asked very unhappily.
"Back to the general! There are one or two hundred people over there, saying that they are here to meet the alliance, do you want to let them come? ”
The Colonel knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in front of his head, and shouted loudly.
"Someone came to the Alliance? Could it be that Changsha Taishou Sun Jian has arrived? Yuan Shao and Qiao Mao glanced at each other, and their eyebrows immediately wrinkled, "Did someone say who it was?" ”
"Back to the general, no!"
When the junior colonel heard Yuan Shao's question, he immediately replied.
"This ...... Yuan Wei, what do you think? ”
Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Qiao Mao beside him, and asked in a low voice.
"It's not good to say, Sun Jian sent someone to deliver the letter quickly, I don't think it will be so fast, but everything is always uncertain, let's call them over first!"
Glancing at Yuan Shao, Qiao Mao attached it to Yuan Shao's ear and said in a low voice.
"Hmmm! That's exactly how it should be! Although he was puzzled, Yuan Shao immediately agreed to Qiao Mao's proposal, waved his hand, raised his head and said to the little schooler: "Go!" Let their leaders come and join the alliance! ”
"Yes!"
The colonel agreed, turned around and ran away.
Nearly ten steps away from Yuan Shao, Han Yan heard Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's reply, couldn't help frowning, and looked at Cao Cao on the side, "Brother, who is this Sun Jian?" ”
"Huh? Sun Jian! This person is a ruthless character, he can fight well, and he was a character during the period when the Yellow Turban Thieves were rampant, so if it's really him, then don't just take the lead! ”
Speaking of Sun Jian, a dark cloud also appeared between Cao Cao's eyebrows, as if something big was about to happen.
Sensing the strangeness of Cao Cao's expression, Han Yan didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought, and at the same time, he was even more interested in this 'Changsha Taishou Sun Jian'.
Not long after the school left, three people drove horses from the direction where the school left, and the one at the head, Han Yan vaguely felt very kind, and the two people who followed him also made Han Yan feel a little familiar.
