Chapter XVII: The Eighteenth Route Princes' Alliance
In the sixth year of Zhongping (AD 189), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, and the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Wei succeeded to the throne, and his relative He Jin assisted the government. He Jin, the general of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info and Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili school, conspired to punish the eunuchs, and privately summoned the Liangzhou warlord Dong Zhuo to Beijing despite the opposition of the courtiers.
Later, due to conspiracy, He Jin was killed by the eunuch Zhang Rang and others. Yuan Shao led his troops into the palace, killed all the eunuchs, and took control of the imperial court. Later, Dong Zhuo led the army into Luoyang, and led He Jin's subordinates, and made Lu Bu kill Jin Wu Ding Yuan and annex his people.
As a result, Dong Zhuo's power was great, and he was able to govern according to the army, depose the young emperor, and set up Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor of Han Xian, and Zhuo Qian's captain led the former general military, and was named the Marquis of Yi, and entered the country. Then Dong Zhuo forced Yuan Shao and others away and monopolized the military and political power.
Then Yuan Shao got Cao Cao's support, so he gathered his subordinates and led 30,000 soldiers to leave the Bohai Sea to join Cao Cao.
Cao Cao then sent letters to all the places and reached all the counties.
The text said: Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly!
Liu Bei and Xu Ning and other four brothers led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the alliance, when they were in Dezhou Plains County, Liu Bei and others saw a black and oppressive figure, frowned slightly, and said: "Brothers, I don't know who is in front of you?" Be careful. ”
Xu Ning and the others all nodded one after another, ready to defend against the enemy.
After the people on both sides walked in, Liu Bei found that the army in front of him turned out to be Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, and then Liu Bei and the four of them immediately dismounted and said: "It turned out to be Brother Gongsun, I Liu Bei thought that who could send out the power of the tiger so far away." ”
Gongsun Chan was very happy when he heard Liu Bei's words, and when he saw Xu Ning and the other three, he said, "Who are these three people?" ”
Liu Bei immediately said to Gongsun Zhan without humility or arrogance: "These three people are my sworn brothers, and thanks to the care of the three brothers who live and die and share the care of their brothers, they can take credit for killing the Yellow Turban thieves." ”
"It turned out to be the hero who killed the Yellow Turban thieves, disrespectful and disrespectful." Gongsun Zan saw that Guan Yun had a long red face and long hair, and Zhang Fei's black face was strong, which was very extraordinary, so he hugged Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Xu Ning.
Then Gongsun Chan continued: "What is Xuande doing here? Do you intend to punish Dong Thief's alliance? ”
Liu Bei bent down slightly at Gongsun Zan and said: "Xuande is going to take a few brothers to the alliance, but I am afraid that it will be useless for us to go there, I wanted to find a prince to go together, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Gongsun here." ”
When Gongsun Zhan heard Liu Bei's words, he was overjoyed, this Liu Bei intended to follow him to the Huimeng and participate in the Shengshi Huimeng that killed Dong Zhuo: "If Xuande doesn't mind, let's go together, how about it?" ”
"Xuande and a few brothers thanked Brother Gongsun." In fact, Liu Bei wanted to have all the princes with him, so that he could have some status in the alliance and would not be underestimated by others.
Liu Xuande, Xu Ning, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei rode horses and led thousands of people to follow Gongsun Zan to the place of the alliance, and then Cao Cao hurriedly followed.
When Xu Ning saw Cao Cao, he was a little excited, this is the most awesome character in the Three Kingdoms in the later generations, the sentence "Let me bear the world, don't let the world bear me", this is Cao Cao's real person, he looks really bad. Xu Ning thought that Cao Cao should at least be majestic! But it looks like an ordinary person!
At that time, Cao Cao found that Xu Ning's eyes had been staring at him, and he didn't know why, when Cao Cao asked Xu Ning what was wrong, Xu Ning just smiled and said it was okay.
This can make Cao Cao depressed to death, you have nothing to do to see what I'm doing, I'm not a yellow flower girl, you are a man who has been staring at me.
When all the princes arrived, they set up camp and went down to the village, and the army was encamped for more than 200 miles. Cao Cao then slaughtered cattle and horses, and the princes of the assembly discussed the strategy of marching into the army.
Above the entire hall, the princes of the Eighteenth Road sat opposite each other, while Liu Bei and Xu Ning and the other four stood behind Gongsun Zhan. Xu Ning saw that this was the so-called Huimeng, which was really simple.
The princes of the road Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Now is where the great righteousness lies, and the alliance leader must be established; Then all the princes must obey the orders of the alliance leader and march together to defeat Dong Zhuo. ”
Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, and there are many disciples under him, and he is a descendant of the famous minister of the Han Dynasty, so he can be the leader of the alliance." Yuan Shao was actually so happy that he was dying, but he repeatedly excused himself in front of everyone, and everyone said that except Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance, no one else was qualified, so Yuan Shao agreed with a smile.
Xu Ning stood behind and heard Zhang Fei complain softly: "What a hypocrite, or just be happy, it's a waste of time." ”
"That's right! Is it necessary to pretend like this? Lao Tzu and Marshal Tian Peng didn't pretend to be like this. Xu Ning also agreed with Zhang Fei's words in his heart, if my immortal power is still there, don't say this Yuan Shao, I will even nail Lu Bu to the matter.
After some shirk, the situation finally stabilized.
Then Yuan Shao ordered his younger brother Yuan Shu to take charge of the grain and grass, and asked Changsha Taishou Sun Jian to play the vanguard, and the other princes were waiting one after another, ready to support at any time.
After Dong Zhuo knew about the alliance of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, he immediately sent the first military general Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to lead troops to suppress the princes of the Eighteenth Road.
Then Sun Jian, as a big striker, rushed to the front and was repelled by Lu Bu's general Hua Xiong.
Today, the princes of the Eighteenth Route are discussing the strategy of how to march in the lobby.
"Report, Hua Xiong is shouting at the gate of the city."
Bursts of footsteps came in a loud voice, reporting what was happening outside.
Yuan Shao sat on the lobby and said, "Who dares to fight? ”
At this time, a Xiao general Yu Shi came out from behind Yuan Shu, and he said: "The young general is willing to go." Yuan Shao was overjoyed, so he asked Yu Shi to go out and kill Huaxiong.
Suddenly, after a while, the spies reported again: "General Yu She's battle with Hua Xiong was not in a three-way battle, and he was beheaded by Hua Xiong." ”
The princes were shocked. The princes of the road guarded Han Fu and said: "I have the general Pan Feng, and I will definitely be able to behead that Huaxiong." Yuan Shao immediately sent Pan Feng to fight.
So Pan Feng got on the horse with a big axe. After going for a while, it was another spy Pegasus who reported: "General Pan Feng was beheaded by Hua Xiong again." ”
All the princes had ugly faces and low morale. After a while, Yuan Shao said again: "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't come here!" Otherwise, there is one person here, why not be afraid of a little Huaxiong! ”
Yuan Shao sighed again and said, "Which general is willing to kill Hua Xiong?" ”
After a while, none of the princes of the Eighteenth Road spoke, which made Yuan Shao very embarrassed.
"Host's new mission: Kill Hua Xiong and reward points."
At this moment, the reincarnation book sounded in Xu Ning's heart again, this made Xu Ning happy, and he could finally earn points, which could not be robbed by Yun Chang.
So, Xu Ning stepped forward with a nine-tooth nail rake made of iron: "The young general is willing to behead Huaxiong." ”
