Chapter 75 The Princes Meet
"The first town, the later general led Nanyang to guard Yuan Shu!"
But I heard a burst of shouts outside the city, waving flags, and shaking the mountains and rivers, with the majesty of splitting the heavens and the earth and shattering the mountains and rivers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTens of thousands of military horses wore shiny iron armor and sharp spears, but when they saw the smoke and dust billowing out, they walked through the outside of the sour jujube city.
More than a dozen princes sat on the tower, looking at the majestic army below, and praised one after another, but they had their own thoughts in their hearts; Only one of them, named Yuan Shuzi Highway, had a smug smile on his face, as if he felt that his 20,000 soldiers and horses were much stronger than all the princes here.
In the middle of the first year of the first year of the first peace, the princes met in the sour jujube and agreed to a collective military parade, which greatly increased the momentum of the coalition army. Naturally, this opinion was put forward by Yuan Shu, and he wanted to use it to understand the situation of the military horses of the various princes, as for himself...... Sorry, he's here to show off.
Seeing Yuan Shu proudly in front of him, the person who was sitting in the middle was unhappy; I saw that he was wearing a bronze helmet and a fish-scale armor, leaning on the table but having a good temperament. This person is Yuan Shao, he is the leader of the coalition, which was elected by everyone, but why was the limelight all stolen by his brother?
Cao Cao, who was sitting diagonally below Yuan Shao, smiled and said nothing, he knew the temperament of these two brothers. Yuan Shu is greedy for money, relying on his reputation to do evil; Yuan Shao was very timid, and he seemed to be unimpressed by Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, but he was afraid in his heart.
With such an alliance leader, how can he take on the great responsibility of King Qin? Hehehehe...... Drink tea and drink tea.
"The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu!"
The soldiers and horses of the second town are not as vast as those of the first town, giving people the feeling that they are a kind of defeated soldiers, one by one, listless, with guns and halberds on their heads, but like crutches, which makes the princes on the city tower laugh. Han Fu blushed and felt deeply ashamed, but he didn't dare to come out, for fear of losing face, so he just defended: "Everyone, this is ...... The division in Xiazhou County is not suitable for the local climate because of the fatigue of carriages and horses, so it is like this...... Well, that's right. After that, Han Fu also nodded his head in affirmation, but it made people feel very unconfident.
"No, Han Fujun, I remember that Zunjia has been here for nearly five days, how did he come here? What's more, how different is the climate of Jizhou from Yanzhou? ”
Listening to the ridicule of the princes on the side, Han Fu only dared to be angry, but his face was greeted with a smile, and he didn't know how many words he said in his heart.
"The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling!"
Be quiet......
"The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling!"
It was very quiet, there was no smoke and dust billowing from before, and there were no flags in the sky, not even a few soldiers who came out to occupy the field. The princes on the city tower immediately frowned, but when they saw Yuan Shao standing up, they said angrily: "I said how much benefit that Kong Ling received from Dong Zhuo, and he didn't come for such a righteous act!" ”
"The leader of the alliance is angry, and I received a letter from Yuzhou, and the governor of Yuzhou is indeed coming." Cao Cao, who was sitting below, stood up and said, "But it seems that for some reason, it will be a little late." But...... The letter I received earlier, it seems that the signature is not Kong Ling'......"
"Not Kong Ling?" Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao in surprise, and many princes also turned around and looked at each other, as if they didn't know what was going on. Yuan Shao walked down the steps and asked with excitement on his face: "Meng De, who is the signature?" ”
"This, I remember that the signature is 'Han rebel general, Duting Marquis, Yuzhou Mu Xungang'......"
Before everyone could react to who this Xun Gang was, they suddenly saw a huge "warship" appearing in the river basin not far away, just like the building ship in the south, which was breathtaking. But at this time, more than a dozen boats docked on the shore, lined up neatly; The huge planks connected the ships and the land like a ladder, and the sound was neat, and the princes who watched shivered, which of the troops was this, and the pomp was so big?
"Could it be that Dong Zhuo's old thief sent an army to sneak attack?" Yuan Shao approached the city wall angrily, and the hand holding the sword seemed to be a lot tighter.
Yuan Shu on the side was stunned - no, I'm the protagonist! How could anyone be bigger than me? Do you see how many of these dozen princes rely on building ships to transport troops and horses? Isn't this a clear attempt to steal the limelight from me!
Who is this man?
As the planks fell, only a howl was heard, like a pack of wolves in the wilderness, charging at the enemy! The first and second largest cargo ships were shocked by the rush of nearly 1,000 cavalry troops. The cavalry galloped on the open field, and dozens of drums on the city tower also exploded with the clatter, which was simply a majestic and powerful sky!
"What a bear and tiger master!"
Cao Cao looked in shock at the small number of cavalry troops below, seemingly sucking the blood of the enemy in the smoke and dust; But what really shocked Cao Cao was the majestic tiger warrior who was galloping at the front - holding a double iron halberd, his bare upper body muscles were extremely solid, and the wind horse under his crotch was screaming angrily; That look, that momentum, is simply to fight against 100,000 bear soldiers!
"What a tiger and wolf general! Whose men are they? ”
A thousand cavalry under the leadership of Dian Wei left in the dust, leaving behind a dozen princes with bewildered expressions, and a moment later, the dozen or so ships let out several more shouts. It is not as imposing as the cavalry before it. Nine thousand soldiers slowly descended from the ship, and without any orders, they were extremely neatly arranged into a huge phalanx.
"Click......
Nine thousand soldiers marched slowly with neat steps, and this time the drums were beating in perfect order and slow; Compared with the majesty of the previous cavalry, this infantry seems to be a lot more elegant. But no matter how elegant they are, they are just pawns in the hands of the princes.
Thousands of horses are overwhelming, and this army of soldiers and horses is also slowly leaving in the eyes of the princes, maybe they haven't reacted yet, all the princes are looking at the direction where the 10,000 soldiers and horses disappeared in surprise, as if they are still wondering whose soldiers and horses this is.
"Honorable Princess, I hope you will forgive me if I am late!"
With a childish laugh, all the princes finally came to their senses, they looked behind them, only to see an elegantly dressed literati standing in front of them, accompanied by a young man with slightly loose clothes behind him, thinking to themselves which family this is, could it be that it is also a prince invited by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen you all in Xia Xungang!"
It was the same immature voice from before, but everyone obviously saw that the two people didn't open their mouths, and how could two adults make such immature sounds. Perhaps subconsciously, everyone's gaze slowly lowered towards the ground.
"Poof...... Hahahahaha! ”
"Didn't Hole Spur Smoker send a child to wait with me?"
"Don't make trouble, little doll, hurry up and go home and herd the cows!"
Sure enough, when all the princes saw Xun Gang together, there was a deep mockery on their faces and mouths, this kid is a prince? Don't tease? He's a prince, and I'm still the emperor!
Xun Gang was not ashamed or annoyed, he had long known that this group of princes would be like this, and after they had laughed enough, Xun Gang motioned to Xu Shu to take out the appointed holy decree, ordered him to hand it to Cao Cao, and said: "Everyone, Kong Ling is dead, and now he is the current Yuzhou Mu Xun Gang, and the holy decree will not be any fraud." ”
Those princes were full of disbelief, thinking that Xun Gang didn't know where to find the holy decree template and scribbled at random, and they were about to drive the three of them out, but they were stopped by Cao Cao. Cao Cao held the holy decree with trembling hands, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and then handed the holy decree to Yuan Shao, and said, "Everyone...... There will be no fake jade seal, this is the true holy decree. ”
"What!"
"This ...... That's child's play! ”
"If Dong Zhuo is the governor of Yuzhou...... How can a child do it? ”
Yuan Shao took the holy decree, seemed to see something between the lines, frowned between his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "No...... I think this time it should not be Dong Zhuo's meaning, but the emperor's intention. ”
"Emperor?" The princes were full of disbelief, the emperor was only nine years old, how could Dong Zhuo listen to him?
Yuan Shao shook his head, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he respectfully returned it to the entourage behind Xun Gang, and smiled at Xun Gang: "Uncle Xun Fang, you have worked hard all the way, please take a seat here...... By the way, I don't know the military horses that have just swam, but the sergeants under the command of Xun Fangbo? ”
"There is the leader of the Lao Yuan Alliance, and he is dismounting his troops and horses."
Yuan Shao's smile did not decrease, but there were waves in his heart; He had seen this kid twice, the first time was next to He Jin, and he was able to enter and exit the conference hall of the Great General's Mansion at will, which was shocking. I didn't expect that this second time we met, this person turned out to be the Marquis of Yuzhou Mu and Duting, and his official position was even bigger than his own!
Cao Cao was silent, perhaps he should have guessed when he received the reply to the letter. It is said that the last time his father gave him wine, it was made by this child...... Tsk, what a jar of wine, I haven't finished drinking it for more than half a year.
Under the leadership of Yuan Shao, Xun Gang sat in a place equal to the position of the princes, but even if this was Yuan Shao's arrangement, many princes were not satisfied, especially Yuan Shu. He is not an empathetic person, everyone knows that Yuan Shu cares about his background very much, so he will belittle Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others in many ways; Facing Xun Gang, he also seemed to want to provoke.
"Uncle Xun Fang, Xiang Wenzun Weng is now under Dong Zhuo's command, I wonder if there will be any inconvenience for Your Excellency to come this time?"
Although Yuan Shu's words were calm and seemed to be caring, Xun Gang had already heard the provocation in his words; Xun Gang smiled slightly, and replied: "General Yuan, the family Weng is from the emperor, not from Dong Zhuo; What's more, as far as I know, my uncle Yuan Kui and Jiaweng served as the emperor together, why did he only worry about his family, but not Uncle Ling? ”
"This ...... Ahem, Xiang Wen Fangbo sells wine in Qian County, he is a businessman, how can he get the emperor's decree and become the pastor of Yuzhou? ”
Yuan Shu's words had to be said to be vicious, and now he was showing that Xun Gang's status was lowly and he was not worthy of staying here; The surrounding princes forced a smile, they wanted to see what kind of sparks these two people would make.
Looking at Yuan Shu's wrinkled face, Xun Gang remembered that when he first met him, this guy seemed to be making things difficult in every way; Since this is the case, I can't be polite: "I sell wine only to make friends with the heroes of the world, and the merchants between the states have contact with me; Even the venerable Weng Zhou Yanggong liked my home-brewed wine, and even threatened to marry his granddaughter to Zaixia......"
"Poof......
Some princes couldn't help but burst out laughing, but when they saw that Yuan Shu's face became swollen red, even Yuan Shao couldn't hold his breath; You belittle Xun Gang as a lowly businessman, so if I marry someone from your family, won't you be also low?
Good and low do not intermarry, this is the Han theorem, either I have a high status, or you have a low status, you choose yourself!
Yuan Shu didn't dare to speak, he didn't expect this kid to be so strong in arguing, which shocked him again and again.
The princes stopped one after another, taking this previous episode as a joke, Yuan Shu was usually arrogant, just to suppress and suppress his prestige. But only Cao Cao showed a different light in his eyes.
This sub...... Can it be used by me?
