Eighteen roads, the number of military horses varied, there were 30,000, there were 120,000, each leading civil officials and military generals, to Luoyang direction. Finally, they gathered in Sujuo County, Chenliu County, and set up camp in each village, connecting more than 200 miles. Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and horses, assembled the princes, and discussed the strategy of marching into the army.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the princes from all walks of life have not yet begun to discuss the matter of crusading against Dong Zhuo, but they have begun to negotiate and pull relationships, forming their own small team alliances. It can be roughly divided into four power groups:

The first is headed by Yuan Shao, and there are Han Fu, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Kong Rong and others, who are strong and strong, with the strongest strength, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The second is headed by Yuan Shu, with Kong Ling, Tao Qian and Sun Jian, with more than 70,000 soldiers and horses. Although He Xian made friends with Sun Jian very early, after careful consideration, Sun Jian still chose the Runan Yuan clan of the fourth and third dukes. Seriously, Sun Jian's vision is really not very good.

The third is led by Cao Cao, and there are also Bao Xin, Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao brothers, with 50,000 soldiers and horses, which seems to be average in strength, but He Xian knows that the real predators are actually this way.

The last line is a small alliance headed by He Xian and Gongsun Zhan, as well as Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang, with more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. When Gongsun Zhan and He Xian quelled the Wuhuan rebellion, they had a love for robes. And living in the northern part of the country for a long time, he is not interested in Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu of the fourth and third dukes. Although Cao Cao has a wide range of friends, he is not as wide as Youzhou. Therefore, for Gongsun Zhan, he is not familiar with everyone, and when he sees everyone forming a small team, he first chooses He Xian, who has a comradeship. And Wang Kuang and Zhang Yang once served as the governor of the government under the general He Jin, so they chose to move closer to He Xian at the first time, but they are also loyal and righteous people.

Seeing that the princes were only concerned about talking about life in their own small circles, Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore. I thought that these 200,000 horses were hoarded on their own territory, and people ate what the horses chewed, and it was okay to raise them for a day or two, but after a long time, the money and grain that Chen Liujun had finally accumulated were not allowed to eat these rice buckets?

"Ahem~" Cao Cao cleared his throat and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are gathered here in the righteousness of supporting the Han family and crusading against Dong thieves, should we nominate an alliance leader, give orders in a unified manner, and then quickly march to Luoyang, punish Dong Zhuo, and save Your Majesty?" ”

He Xian had been paying attention to the situation in the venue with a cold eye, and as soon as he heard Cao Cao's words, he knew that the big drama was about to start, so he helped Cao Cao throw a brick and said: "Meng De is reasonable!" I just don't know who can take on this responsibility? ”

After Cao Cao and He Xian sang and harmonized, everyone present quieted down, and the position of the leader of the alliance was an opportunity for both risks and benefits.

Shanyang County Shou Yuan Yi took the lead in standing up and said: "Yanzhou Mu Liu Gongshan, a royal clansman, filial piety and kindness, condescending to others, can be the leader of the alliance!" ”

Liu Dai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Benzhou's moral energy is limited, and I can't take on this heavy responsibility." Right Zhonglang General, Bohai County Shou Yuan Benchu, both civil and military, and the fourth and third dukes, many old officials, is the descendant of the Han Dynasty, can be the leader of the alliance! ”

Before Yuan Shao had time to be modest, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling stood up and objected: "Speaking of the fourth and third dukes, how can you forget the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General and Runan County guarding the Yuan Highway?" Yuan Highway was once Yin of Henan, in charge of the land of Luoyang, and he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if he plans and advises! ”

Sure enough, Yuan Shu still couldn't hold back, and jumped out to compete with Yuan Shao for the position of the leader of the alliance.

Cao Cao had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and he also knew that the two brothers had always been at odds with each other, and they had always been competing over the issue of inheriting the orthodoxy of the Yuan clan in Runan. It's just that what he didn't expect was that on such a national event as the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the two brothers did not reach a consensus in private, but for the position of a small alliance leader, they revealed the shortcomings of the brother's discord, which really felt chilling for Taifu Yuan Kui and Situ Yuan Feng.

Cao Cao squinted his small eyes, his eyes kept wandering between everyone, and finally stopped at He Xian, who was watching a good show, and he decided to make a move.

"According to Cao, General Wei He Xian has martial arts, and he has a blood feud with Dong Thief, so he can be the leader of the alliance!"

"Holy! The little black fat man really doesn't die of harming people! He Xian scolded wildly in his heart, but he had to admit that Cao Cao's move was amazing!

Cao Cao's so-called blood hatred, others will only think of Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei, who were murdered by Dong Zhuo, because both of them are related to He Xian. But to the ears of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, it was like a wake-up call, because the person who killed He Xian's father, the general He Jin, was Yuan Shu! Strictly speaking, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are inseparable, and the two are accomplices!

Sure enough, as soon as Cao Cao said this, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both used their eyes to prevent the princes of their alliance from continuing to attack each other, and instead turned their eyes to He Xian, who seemed harmless to humans and animals.

He Xian had to stand up and say: "I was going to be loved by the first emperor, and I was able to fight in the south and north in the year of the weak crown and serve the country." Now that Dong thief cholera is in power, everyone will be punished! If all the adults don't give up, I am willing to take on this heavy responsibility and go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was dumbfounded! According to the habit of the Han election system, the person being promoted must decline once or twice to show modesty. Wait until the third time to be elected, and then you can justify the promise.

Cao Cao's original intention was only to remind Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu that there were still enemies among the princes, and they should unite and not fight among themselves. Unexpectedly, He Xian did the opposite, Balabala said a bunch of deeds of loyalty to the country, so he was cheeky to be the leader of this alliance, and he rebelled against Cao Cao and others.

He Xian and the other three factions are just temporarily cooperating because of the righteousness of the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and they are destined to become real friends and allies, so why do they need to be courted and curryed favor with? Since Cao Cao wanted to use He Xian as a collector of hatred for the Yuan brothers, He Xian decided to break the jar and offend these people to the end.
