Chapter 55: The Princes' Alliance
As soon as the New Year passes, the weather gradually warms up, although the cold winter in many areas in the north has not completely passed, but in the Central Plains, there is a faint greenery as far as the eye can see. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the beginning of February, Cao Cao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, changed the law of the Han family without permission, from the eight generations of Lu Bu's ancestors to Lu Bu's thief Yu Dong Zhuo, killed his master, and suppressed the family in the north, etc., listed dozens of crimes against Lu Bu, and ordered the princes of the world to fight against Lu Bu.
Cao Cao gathered a total of 300,000 troops in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou, and requisitioned millions of people to transport grain and grass to threaten the tiger prison.
Almost in the same month, Liu Bei, Liu Zhang, Sun Quan and even the scholars in Jiaozhou in the south responded one after another, Liu Zhang took Zhang Ren as the general, led the elite in Shu, and the soldiers were sent to Jiameng and Baishui, and the troops were stationed in Langzhong, while Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Huang Zhong as generals and personally led the army out of Funiu Mountain and approached Yique Pass.
This time, Cao Cao did not let the princes join forces together, after all, the Tiger Prison Pass is such a big place, if you count the people who were requisitioned, it is a gathering of millions of people, and the Tiger Prison Pass does not need so many people at all, so he chose to divide his troops to attack, with Lu Bu occupying Hedong and Jizhou, Mengjin has arrived in the hinterland of Lu Bu, and there is no need to continue to defend it, so all the Mengjin defenders were transferred to Yique Pass.
At the beginning of March, Cao Cao invited the princes of the world to meet in Songshan, in fact, although it was an alliance of five princes, but in fact, on the frontal battlefield, only Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army was the main force, Jiangdong and Lu Bu were separated from the Central Plains, although I heard that the army had begun to be prepared, but in a short time, it was obviously impossible to come, as for Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, the main deal was Lu Bu's troops in Hanzhong, as for the Jiaozhou Shijia, it was purely a flag waving and shouting.
However, the envoys of the princes of the Five Roads were all involved in the Songshan Alliance, Liu Zhang sent his eldest son Liu Xun to participate in the Alliance, in order to show the importance of this alliance, and Liu Bei entrusted the military to Cui Zhouping, and personally brought Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to participate, although the initiator of the alliance was Cao Cao, but in the final analysis, it was still the matter of the Liu family, Liu Bei was one of the main forces to attack Lu Bu for this time, although the strength was not as good as Cao Cao, but the momentum could not be weak, as for the Sun family sent this time it was Sun Jing, although the Jiangdong soldiers and horses had not yet been fully prepared, However, he was willing to support Cao Cao with some grain and grass, which had been transported to Shouchun through the Lujiang River, which could be regarded as support for this alliance.
It is said that it is the top of Songshan Mountain, but in fact it is only on the halfway of Songshan Mountain, a platform has been established, Cao Cao in order to show sincerity, but also in order to show the momentum, this time personally led 30,000 troops to repair the Songshan mountain road.
On the eighth day of the first month of March, the alliance attacked the tiger, Liu Bei personally brought Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and the strategist Shi Tao to participate in the alliance, but saw that on the Song Mountain, flags were planted all over, and countless flags were waved in the wind, revealing a solemn and solemn atmosphere, 30,000 Cao soldiers were all over the mountain road, walking on the mountain road, and a killing atmosphere came to the face.
"Cao Jun is so elite?" After a few years, seeing Cao Jun again, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh that today's Cao Jun is more powerful than back then.
Guan Yu walked behind Liu Bei, and couldn't help but snort when he heard the words: "The soldiers of our army are not inferior to him!" ”
Liu Bei's expedition this time, Nanyang's 30,000 elite soldiers are Liu Bei's family background, this time almost all of them were brought out, and it can be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to this battle, this Nanyang elite soldiers, but Guan Yu trained them single-handedly, although Cao's army is also elite, but Guan Yu does not think that his own elite soldiers are worse than the other party.
"They are all tigers and wolves, this time my two alliances, with this tiger and wolf division, why are you afraid of Lu Bu?" When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, yes, today's Liu Bei is no longer the same as when he was in Xuzhou, there are elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, and there are top strategists to help, although the strength is not as good as Cao Cao, but Liu Bei is confident that after Zhuge Liang obtains Shuzhong, he will not be weaker than any of the princes.
When Liu Bei arrived at the place of the Songshan Alliance with Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Shi Guangyuan and the guards, the Shijia, Liu Xun, and Sun Jing had already arrived, this was Shi Guangyuan's suggestion, after all, Liu Bei was the only prince who participated in the alliance as a prince, and in terms of identity, it was one level higher than the representatives of the Shijia and Liu Xun and Sun Jing, so naturally he couldn't come with them.
"Brother Xuande, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same!" Cao Cao learned the news, he was already waiting outside the tent, and walked forward enthusiastically, behind him, the representatives of the Shi family, Liu Xun, and Sun Jing saw that Cao Cao was the main alliance and came out, whether he wanted it or not, he could only follow out, the identity of the emperor of the Han Dynasty may not be worth a few dollars, but Liu Bei is a Jingzhou pastor, holding the nine counties of Jingxiang, and has 100,000 soldiers under his command, which is already something that no one can ignore.
"I have seen Sikong, but because the army is busy, I have delayed a lot of things, and I have been tired of Sikong and you for a long time, and I hope to forgive my sins." Liu Bei hugged his fists and said with a smile.
"Brother Xuande, where is it, it came at the right time." Cao Cao smiled and pulled Liu Bei's arm, and smiled at Guan Yu again: "Yun Chang, I haven't seen you for many years, and my momentum is much more powerful than before, so people don't dare to look at it directly." ”
"Cao Gong has a reputation!" Guan Yu said indifferently.
"Haha, it's not good, come, Xuande Gong, enter the account and speak." Cao Cao took Liu Bei's arm, couldn't help but say, entered the big tent surrounded by everyone, and pointed to everyone: "I came to introduce Xuande Gong, this is the former Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jiandi, Sun Jing, Sun Youping!" ”
"I've seen Xuande Gong." Sun Jing bowed slightly and said indifferently.
"Back then, we and other princes would ally discuss Dong, Brother Wentai's heroic appearance is still unforgettable, and the Sun family is loyal and martyred, and I will look up to it for a long time." Liu Bei returned the salute.
Liu Bei and the Sun family really have nothing to talk about, with Liu Bei occupying Jingxiang, although the two sides have not yet reached the point of becoming water and fire, but they are definitely not friendly, after a few polite words, under the leadership of Cao Cao, looked at Liu Xun.
"I've seen Uncle Huang." Liu Xun didn't wait for Cao Cao's introduction, and took the first step to salute Liu Bei.
"It's all my own family, and there is no need for good nephews to be polite." Liu Bei hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Liu Xun up, although Zhuge Liang planned Shuzhong, but now is not the time to turn his face, according to Zhuge Liang's plan, at least when the victory or defeat of this war is decided, he can only do it.
"My father respects the imperial uncle very much, and before coming here, he specially instructed that when I see the imperial uncle this time, I must meet him as a son and nephew." Liu Xun bowed and said.
Liu Bei was a little ashamed, after all, he was still planning other people's family business.
"This is the younger brother of Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie, Shi Yi!" Cao Cao led to the last humanity.
Basically, the Shi family has little contact with the major princes of the Central Plains, after all, Jiaozhou is too far away, basically outside the circle of the Central Plains, after a few polite words to each other, they were invited by Cao Cao to take their seats.
This alliance, although there is no general momentum of the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong, but if the momentum is discussed, it is not weak at all, or even stronger.
Of course, the princes are not of the same heart at the moment, but in the matter of dealing with Lu Bu, everyone can basically reach an agreement, Cao Cao has not yet spoken, behind Sun Jing, a young man with red lips and white teeth, and a heroic young man suddenly spoke: "It is said that the fierce generals under the command of Xuande Gong are like clouds, and the two generals of Guan Zhang are all fierce generals in the world, and they are invincible. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, Sun Jing frowned and said, "Uncle Bi, don't be rude!" ”
"Jiangdong military generals, are they all arrogant people of this Yelang?" Guan Yu stroked his long beard, Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, those who are familiar with Guan Yu know that this is the prelude to Guan Yu's action.
"Yun Chang, don't be angry!" Cao Cao hurriedly stood up and said comfortingly.
"Yoro is arrogant?" The young general raised his head, looked at Huang Zhong behind Liu Bei, and sneered: "No matter how bad my Jiangdong is, I won't use this old pawn, if there is no one around Xuande Gong, you can ask my brother for help, I Jiangdong has a lot of fierce generals, for the righteousness of the world, it is still good to lend Xuande Gong a few people to be strong." ”
"Huh?" Huang Zhong didn't expect that he would be provoked, frowned at the young man, and said coldly: "Which doll has little ability, but her kung fu is not bad." ”
"It's no wonder, Jiangdong, a group of local chickens and dogs, can only show their teeth." Guan Yu glanced at the young man coldly and sneered.
"Brother Xuande, this son is the third son of Brother Wentai, Sun Yi, a young man, Brother Xuande and this old general, don't be surprised." Cao Cao hurriedly got up to play a round, this alliance had not yet begun, and his own people were on the bar first, which made Cao Cao very helpless.
Old?
Huang Zhong's eyes glared, his most taboo was that others said that he was old, and at this moment, he was committing his own taboos one after another, sneered at the moment, stood up, looked at Sun Yi and said: "Little doll come out, your father died early, I don't blame you, you come here, grandpa teaches you to be a man." ”
"What did you say, old man!?" Sun Yi's personality is similar to Sun Ce's, he is very strong, and when he heard this, he broke away from Sun Jing's arm and roared angrily and pounced on Huang Zhong.
"Bang~"
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Sun Yi was kicked by Huang Zhong and flew up.
Sun Jing frowned and looked at Huang Zhong, although Sun Yi has a somewhat irritable personality, but his ability is not weak, he is not under Sun Ce back then, although he was suspected of underestimating the enemy before, but he was kicked upside down and flew up by such a kick, how strong is this old pawn?
Sun Yi got up like no one else, took the spear handed by his subordinates, pointed at Huang Zhong, and said sharply: "Old horseman, don't say that I deceived you, dare to test weapons with me?" ”
"Hansheng, don't be like a teenager." Huang Zhong was about to speak, but Liu Bei handed over his sand knife at the same time: "Just teach a lesson, don't hurt the harmony." ”
"Whoa!" When Huang Zhong heard this, he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, the lord will subdue this little baby within the three!" ”
"The old puppet Hugh wants to talk wildly, there is a kind of account to try with me!" Sun Yi snorted coldly, turned around and left, and everyone was happy to watch the scene, and followed out.
Cao Cao glanced at Liu Bei's back, shook his head, and followed, Liu Bei was taking the opportunity to demonstrate. (To be continued.) )
