Chapter 287: Blood Alliance
The sky showed the white dawn of the fish's belly, and a soft mist rose from the river, and the white morning mist rendered everything hazy and psychedelic......
The air was cold, the sparse and yellow leaves of the aspens on the roadside no longer swished in the wind, and with the autumn breeze of Xiao Xiao, pieces of butterflies like huge butterflies were flying, spinning, and throwing themselves into the arms of Mother Earth.

Everyone asked Zhang Fan to board the altar that had just been erected overnight as the leader of the alliance to preside over the alliance ceremony, and Zhang Fan repeatedly refused:
"Fan is young and frivolous, only sparse and shallow, and his ability is average, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this heavy responsibility, so you should choose another talent!"
Everyone disagreed, saying that he had to do it, but Zhang Fan still refused.
"Fourth Master, what the hell is this? Why don't you want to be the leader of the alliance again? Changed your mind again? β
"What a deal! You won't push the boat down the river and then re-elect Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, right? β
"How is that possible? The princes from all walks of life who came here are big people with heads and faces, and the election results are invalid and re-elected, how embarrassing it is! Isn't that a slap in the face? β
"Do you understand China's national conditions? In ancient times, when an emperor or a prime minister had to ask for three resignations, it could be considered to be in line with the etiquette and rules......"
"That's right, please agree directly once, isn't it just plain for people to look down on?"
"I remember when we were children, we all said don't ...... when we received red envelopes. Did you really not want that one in the end? β
"Modesty and courtesy are the traditional virtues widely respected by our nation, and they have long been rooted in our blood, so it is strange not to push!"
β¦β¦
After three resignations, everyone still insisted unusually, Zhang Fan pretended to be helpless to agree, and climbed the altar alone in the push of everyone.
Zhang Fan dressed himself and wore a sword, and burned incense to worship. Then read the oath aloud:
"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! β
After the reading, everyone drank blood wine. There were several loyal Han ministers who couldn't help but burst into tears because of Zhang Fan's impassioned tone.
At the end of the ceremony, Zhang Fan's identity as the leader of the alliance was ripe, and the dust had settled.
He slowly walked down the altar, and the crowd immediately gathered around him and sat down in the tent, and the left and right rows were seated in order of the age of the knighthood. Zhang Fan ordered people to serve delicious food and wine to celebrate.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao took the lead in speaking:
"Today, since the leader of the alliance has been established, each will listen to the dispatch, and support the country together, and do not count the strength or weakness."
Everyone nodded yes, and Zhang Fan also said:
"Although the sail is not talented, he is promoted as the leader of the alliance, and he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. And they all said that they would listen.
Zhang Fan continued to order: "The governor's grain and grass, to deal with the battalions, will be handed over to Yuan Highway, and there must be no shortage." It is also necessary for one person to be the pioneer to meet the challenge of Bishui Pass. The rest of them are in danger and think they will respond. β
Changsha Taishou Sun Jian volunteered: "I am willing to be the front." β
Zhang Fan bowed slightly, "Wentai is brave and fierce, and he can take this position." Then it's up to you. Sun Jian then led the people of the headquarters to kill and go to the water pass......

In the Dong Mansion in Luoyang, Li Ru hurriedly asked to see Dong Zhuo, and after saluting, he began to report:
"Father-in-law, the big thing is not good, Zhang Fan's house arrived at Suojube on December 25, and the alliance ceremony was held the next day, Zhang Fan was elected as the leader of the alliance, appointed Sun Jian as the vanguard, and killed the ...... to Bishui Pass."
Zhang Fan became the leader of the alliance?
Dong Zhuo's worst fear still happened, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly summoned the civil and military forces to plan countermeasures.
After listening to Li Ru's explanation of the situation, Lu Bu stepped forward and said:
"Don't worry, father. The princes outside the customs regard it as a mustard; May the army of tigers and wolves be beheaded and hung in the capital gate. β
Princes of all walks of life in the world...... What a big stage that attracts attention!
Lu Bu was a little emotional, clenched his fists, and thought to himself:
After waiting for so many years, this good opportunity to prove yourself and make a name for yourself has finally come!
Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "I have Fengxian, sit back and relax!" β
Before the words fell, a person behind Lu Bu said loudly:
"Cutting chickens with a knife? Don't go to the Hou of Lao Wen. I behead the heads of all the princes, like probing the bag and taking the ears! β
Lu Bu was angry in his heart, and turned his head to look, the man was nine feet long, with a tiger body and a wolf's waist, and a leopard's head and ape arms, and it was Huaxiong, a fierce general in Kansai.
Zhuo was also very happy to hear that Hua Xiong volunteered, and he was his fellow countryman again, so he added him as a captain of Xiaoqi. 50,000 horses and infantry troops, together with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen, went to Bishui to meet the enemy in the starry night......
----------
Sour jujube, the allied camp, Gongsun Jing reported to Zhang Fan:
"Lord, Bao Xin, the minister of the north of Naji, secretly instructed his younger brother Bao Zhong to lead a horse infantry army of 3,000 people, and went straight to Bishui Pass...... Looking at this posture, it seems that he wants to compete with Sun Jianβ"
Zhang Fan sneered: "Yelang is arrogant, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is. Do you really think that the Xiliang Army is all paper paste? If the credit was in vain, I would have shot a long time ago, and it would have been his turn? Wait and see what it means: stealing chickens does not make rice! β
Gongsun Jing asked, "They just left not long ago, or ...... The subordinates hurriedly ordered someone to chase them back? β
"You don't have toβ" Zhang Fan stretched out his hand, smiled evilly, and said lightly:
"This idiot is on his own, and he doesn't take me as the leader of the alliance seriously, so it's better to teach him a lesson. Since he is looking for death, let him die......"
"No, then we'll turn a deaf earβ"
"No, no, no-" Zhang Fan stretched out an index finger in his right hand and shook it, and analyzed:
"No. Although I don't care if Bao Zhong, a fool, loves to die or not, if he loses, won't it even more foil Sun Jian's power? Although Yuan Shao is also a threat to me, after all, he and I are in the south and the north, and I am afraid that I may not have the opportunity to fight in the short term. However, once Sun Jian's gang rises to power, it is inevitable that he will covet the land of Jingyang and become a big trouble for me. β
"The lord has so much confidence in Sun Jian?" Gongsun Jing said curiously:
"That Bishui Pass is one of the eight passes of Luoyang, easy to defend and difficult to attack, that Huaxiong is superior in force, Li Ru is scheming, Sun Jian may not be able to bargain for cheap......"
Zhang Fan smiled slightly, "No, you're wrong!" You all underestimated this "Jiangdong Tiger", and Hua Xiong and his ilk are probably not his opponents......"
Gongsun Jing didn't understand why Zhang Fan was so jealous of Sun Jian, but as a courtier, he could only say tentatively:
"So...... What does the lord mean? β
Zhang Fan instructed: "Let Jiang Qin and Zhang Liao select five hundred elite cavalry to follow Bao Zhong, and when they are dead and wounded, they will kill and save Bao Zhong." Remember, don't be in love with war, and leave as soon as you save someone. Whoever dares to break the hero broke my soldiers and horses, and after he returned, he will be dealt with by military law. β
Gongsun Jingying said: "No, obey the order." (To be continued.) )
