Chapter 137: The Alliance is in Zhenyang

Zhenyang County, the southernmost county seat of Guiyang, suddenly became lively in the middle of August.

"It seems that the princes are only two years ago...... It's only been a long time since he rested, and he actually made such a moth again...... "Li Ming looked at the handsome tent, it was Liu Ting's imperial tent, and the choice of the leader of the alliance this time was obviously him.

However, compared with the original princes begging for Dong, the current princes are a bit ...... The meaning of mutual wariness. Everyone's camp is east and west, even if it is a tent for the meeting, it is actually within the scope of the neutral zone, so you are really so afraid of being attacked?

Li Ming is nothing, next to Guiyang is Fujian County, Peng Hu's army has been promoted to 50,000 mountain combat troops, just waiting there, just need his order, 50,000 people can be killed directly.

As for the other princes, most of them came from afar, and the supply of military rations was a problem, so they couldn't bring many people. At most, it should be the troops of the imperial court, bringing 20,000 people, and the other princes are only five or six thousand at most, and the few, such as Lu Bu, brought two thousand.

The most important feature is that there are very few cavalry, which is not surprising, the surrounding terrain is not suitable for cavalry combat at all. Rather than wasting the cavalry here, it is better to focus directly on foot soldiers. In this way, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Force, the Bingzhou Cavalry and the Youzhou Cavalry Force were meaningless, Gongsun Zhan's three thousand white horse Yicong became the only cavalry troops, and Lu Bu also brought foot soldiers.

"Aren't you busy standing up?" Li Ming saw Yuan Shao from a distance, and then stepped forward and teased. The relationship between the two is not so good now because of the problems between Xin Bi and Yuan Shu.

"Doesn't Riyao feel that alien races who abuse Dao art are more worthy of vigilance than those who have obtained the wrong throne?" Yuan Shao said slowly when he heard this, and even cast a 'no vision' expression on Li Ming.

"I thought you would shout the remark of 'If you go outside, you must first settle inside', and attack other forces first." Li Ming smiled bitterly.

"During the Zhou period, even if the princes had serious contradictions, they would still ally with thieves when foreign races invaded. Now that there are demons rampant in South Vietnam, it is reasonable for us, as a Chinese, to follow the example of the ancestors to crusade! Cao Cao stepped forward and snorted, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

Li Ming really read this in the history books, not before, but after coming to this era, when he watched "Spring and Autumn". In ancient times, the people of the east, west, north and south were roughly divided into: Beiqi, Dongyi, Nanban and Xirong.

Beiqi was eventually gradually replaced by the Xiongnu, Xirong was gradually replaced by Qianghu, and later the Xiongnu were gradually replaced by Xianbei. Strictly speaking, the people of Baiyue are actually the so-called 'Southern Barbarians', and what are the other Ban Yu Barbarians, Wuling Barbarians, and Nanzhong Barbarians......

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the south had not yet been developed, so the main enemies were the enemies in the northwest. Every time the enemy invaded from the south, the princes would send their own troops to defend themselves against the foreign enemy.

"But someone said that the enemy this time is just a traitor......" Li Ming looked at the Shuai tent, after all, Liu Ting's edict made it very clear that he did not recognize the legitimacy of Nanyue.

"It's good to know, there's no need to be serious." Cao Cao smiled faintly.

Today's alliance is completely divided into two camps, on one side is the royal faction, and the troops of Liu Ting, Liu Bei, Liu Yan and Liu Biao are all gathered together. Strictly speaking, Liu Xuan's troops represented by Li Ming should also go over, but what Li Ming's identity is, in fact, everyone knows it, and they don't make a false deal with them. On the contrary, it was Tao Qian, who joined the royal alliance sequence.

On the other side is the alliance of princes, which probably means self-preservation. The leader is still Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, and below is Cao Cao, the former military advisor, Yuan Shu was reluctantly pushed over by his subordinates, and the others were Gongsun Zhan, Lu Bu and Li Ming.

"In the past, the princes of the Nineteenth Road are now seven non-Han princes? Having said that, Tao Qian is really loyal? Li Ming looked at Tao Qian's camp not far away, and it was said that he should belong to his side.

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid it still has something to do with the sun. You almost killed the whole clan of others, and if others can come to the alliance, it can be regarded as the overall situation, and you still expect to come and be with us? Cao Cao quipped.

"The Tao family is dead, I am tired of living, shouldn't I be a perfect family?" Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, "The population of Danyang County is only a small number, and thousands of strong men are recruited every year, and daily production is a problem. Don't say that this is normal behavior, otherwise I will spend a lot of money every year in the future to recruit strong men in your territory, and I will also lack people to farm. ”

"Tao Gongzu is indeed a little unkind...... Yuan Shao muttered, Cao Cao laughed and said nothing, and Yuan Shu snorted coldly.

"Who will solve the food this time? It can't be Tao Qian, right? Li Ming continued to ask.

"Xuzhou did provide a lot of food this time, but Liu Yan and Liu Biao also provided a lot of food. Look at them, three or four thousand people were dispatched this time, and it may be embarrassing to have a small number of troops, so they will make some contributions to the logistics of grain and grass. Cao Cao looked at the royal camp, "Riyao doesn't provide some military rations?" ”

"The people of Luling County and Fujian County, which have just been separated, are waiting to be fed, and both places are not suitable for growing grain. Most of this year's grain harvest went to the two counties. But I'm not stingy, 3,000 stone of grain has been delivered one after another, at least not to starve, and there are also a lot of meat and dried fish! Li Ming said with a smile.

"Looks like I can eat something good this time!" Cao Cao laughed.

"It's all rice? I'm afraid that the soldiers under my command will not be used to eating that thing......" Yuan Shao hesitated a little.

"The south is not suitable for growing wheat, do you think I don't like steamed buns?" Li Ming said that he was also helpless.

"My lord......" Just then, a young scribe walked in, "Your Majesty has invited us to the meeting!" ”

"Understood, let's go!" Yuan Shao nodded when he heard this, then looked at everyone, and saw that everyone also nodded in response, so he walked towards the camp of the alliance.

According to the agreement, no one was allowed to approach within 500 meters of the camp, apparently because he was worried that someone would gather the princes together and shoot arrows or something. If these princes hang up, then the bottom will fall apart, and they can naturally be broken individually.

From the side, it is not difficult to see that there is no such thing as trust between the royal family and the local princes. The two sides were wary of each other, but for the sake of current considerations, they had to stand together for the time being.

"Farewell to the sun, I haven't seen you for many days!" Seeing Yuan Shao and others coming in, Liu Ting found Li Ming and stepped forward to greet him.

"I haven't seen you for many days, Your Majesty is even more courageous!" Li Ming greeted politely and did not pick up the topic. just silently retreated behind Yuan Shao, the meaning was obvious.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Shao is still only the identity of 'Bohai Taishou', and the imperial court has no correct name. It's just that Yuan Shao played the title of 'the Son of Heaven is not right', and he led the history of Jizhou and the title of 'Governing Ji and Youyou'.

It's just that according to the official position of the Han Dynasty, Li Ming is not to drive, and Yuan Shao is just too guarded. Don't drive and still be in the lower position, this seems a bit funny, of course, it also has the meaning of 'admitting Yuan Shao's own identity'.

Of course, we have to admit that he can take it himself, and of course he can take it himself in the future! Yangzhou Thorn History, titles such as 'Governing Yangxu, Jingyu, and Four Prefectures' also sound pretty good!
