At noon the next day, the allied army built a three-story platform in the empty field in front of the wall, and the flags were displayed under the stage, and thousands of troops and horses were on standby.

Yuan Shao dressed and wore a sword, stepped on the red carpet, climbed the stairs, burned incense and taboo wine to announce the world, saying: 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!

After the oath was completed, the princes of the nineteen towns held short knives in their hands, and cut their fingers in turn to point blood in the altar. This is blood.

Then, he handed the sea bowl full of blood wine to his lips and drank it all, which is called the blood alliance, which is a metaphor for the connection of flesh and blood, living and dying together.

After the blood alliance was over, Yuan Shao got off the altar, raised the tent and sat down, and the princes of each town sat down according to the seats of yesterday's banquet.

After a few rounds of drinking, Cao Cao raised his glass and said: "Today, since the alliance leader has been established, everyone will listen to the dispatch and support the country together, and don't care about the strength or weakness." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Although Shao 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. It is advisable to obey each one and not to transgress it. ”

The princes of each town gave birth and said: "The only order is to listen."

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction. said: "My brother Yuan Shu is the governor of grain and grass, and he can deal with the camps, and there is no shortage of them. 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. As he spoke, he moved his gaze to Luan Yi, but found that Luan Yi bowed his head and was silent, without a trace of taking the initiative to fight.

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian came out of the column at this time and said: "I am willing to be the front." ”

Yuan Shao readily agreed, "Wentai is brave and brave, and he can take this position." ”

Sun Jian's vanguard is open! The battle meeting was announced, and the soldiers and horses of each town pulled out their camps one after another, escorting the Chinese army to leave Chenliu and slowly marching towards Bishui Pass. On the way, Liu Bei fulfilled yesterday's promise and rode to Luan Yi to chat.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw that the church guards were singing while marching. "The song is bright, the lyrics are easy to understand, and it is very good. Was the song written by Ziqi? ”

Luan Yi asked Liu Bei rhetorically, "Haven't you heard this song Brother Xuande?" ”

Liu Bei shook his head blankly.

"Aren't there any churches in Plains County?"

Liu Bei said: "There is one, but Bei has never been in!" ”

"You can go in and sit on Sundays when you have time, it doesn't matter if you believe in religion or not, you should go in and relax, you can hear many of these songs there!"

Liu Bei happily agreed, "You must take the time to see it!" By the way, why did Ziqi let the soldiers sing on the march! ”

Luan Yi said: "The march is boring, everyone entertains themselves!" By the way, you can also use singing to boost morale. ”

"Singing also boosts morale?" Xu Huang asked curiously.

"Of course!" Luan Yi explained to Xu Huang that it is people's instinct to respond to fear when they scream when they are extremely afraid. The reason why screaming is because screaming can relieve fear and other negative emotions in the heart. And these emotions are the most important factors affecting morale on the battlefield. The war is imminent, the soldiers will inevitably be afraid, and at the same time, they will feel a little homesick, in order to help the soldiers vent these emotions, Luan Yi first thought of letting the soldiers relieve their emotions by shouting. However, the yelling of thousands of troops is really not an elegant thing, deafening and chaotic. So, Luan Yi made improvements and changed shouting to singing. Taught to the army, the effect is surprisingly good, the soldiers are Virginians, like to sing such hymns, after a round of singing, the mood is very good, and the morale is naturally strong.

It has been used ever since, and has become an enduring tradition of the Church of Our Lady.

Xu Huang and Yu Ban sighed after listening to Luan Yi's explanation, and called for teaching, and kept asking Luan Yi what else was unique in the army of the Holy Mother of God.

Luan Yi talked eloquently, telling them about the battle mode of the Holy Mother Sect army in groups of three, cooperating with each other, and some customary combat methods. It seems that a lot has been said, but these combat modes of the Guardians of the Church of Our Lady have already been put into use when quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and those who are interested only need to inquire a little to know from elsewhere. Luan Yi did not say anything about confidential matters.

Where did Yu Ban and Xu Huang know that what Luan Yi taught them were outdated things, and they also said that Luan Yi was selfless and had no private hiding. You must know that the ancient Chinese recognized the preciousness of knowledge and technology very early on, and understood that they were the magic weapon to keep the family's wealth and prosperity forever, so they held knowledge and technology in their arms, and generally never passed it on, unless the other party was an immediate family member or a loyal student.

Among the many knowledge and skills, there is no doubt that leading the troops to fight is the most valuable skill. The reason why he became famous in the first war is because of the art of using soldiers passed down from his ancestors. And these skills of leading troops cannot be understood by ordinary Hanmen warriors without experiencing more than 100 battles of all sizes. And on the battlefield of life and death, how many people can survive a hundred battles? It's not that there aren't any, it's very few!

This time, Yu Ban and Xu Huang received Luan Yi's 10,000-word guidance, and in the process of guidance, many tactics were unheard of before, unseen, and insightful. The good impression of Luan Yi suddenly increased a few points, and a thousand thanks were not a problem.

Liu Bei glanced at the two excited brothers with flushed faces, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and stopped them who were still chattering about military affairs with Luan Yi, and switched the topic to Luan Yi to consult about the affairs of the Notre Dame Sect.

Luan Yi answered one by one.

chatted with Liu Bei and walked, chatted for several days, and unconsciously arrived at the sour jujube fifty miles away from the backwater pass. This is the front line camp of the planned army, where the soldiers and horses stop and set up camp.

The camp is properly set up and it is another feast. Luan Yi was chatting with Kong Rong at the banquet, but Zhenghuan saw Sun Jian break in.

At this time, Sun Jian was not as heroic as when he was in the alliance, his clothes were tattered, his hair was scattered, and his face was gray. He rushed into the tent and rushed in front of Yuan Shu without saying a word, grabbed Yuan Shu's collar, stared at his blood-red eyes and roared: "Yuan Highway, the vertical son dares to ......"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the princes hurriedly pulled Sun Jian away and asked the reason.

It turned out that Sun Jian led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to leave the Chen Liu's camp to kill Benshui, and before he arrived at Bishui Pass, he heard that the Malay newspaper that the coalition army had eaten the battle.

When the deserters were caught along the way, he learned that Bao Xin, the prime minister of northern Jibei, was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead, so he secretly transferred 3,000 Ma Bu troops to take the road to the pass to fight.

Hua Xiong, who had just come from Luoyang to support, only led 500 iron cavalry, killed Guan Lai, and beheaded Bao Xin's brother Bao Zhong off his horse with only one combination.

The general was killed, the heart of the Jibei army plummeted, and the frenzied retreat, Huaxiong took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, beheading and capturing many prisoners.

Sun Jian was in a hurry when he heard the news, Dong Zhuojun won a game before the battle was fought, his morale was greatly boosted, he rose and disappeared, and he secretly suffered a loss. However, since he received the military order, he had to fight the battle no matter what.

He was dressed in rotten silver armor, wrapped in a red curtain, crossed the ancient ingot knife, rode a flower-maned horse, and led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to kill directly under the water pass, pointing to the pass and scolding the formation.

Huaxiong's deputy general Hu Zhen led 5,000 troops out of the pass to meet the battle. Cheng Pu Pegasus held a spear and took Hu Zhen directly. After not counting, Cheng Pu stabbed Hu Zhen in the throat and died under the horse. Swing the army straight to the front of the pass, and the arrow stone is like rain on the pass. Sun Jian led his troops back to Liangdong to live, and made people report the victory at Yuan Shao, and urged food at Yuan Shu.

But after a few days, the grain and grass for the left did not come, and the grain and grass for the right did not come. Sun Quan's army was unstable, and Hua Xiong seized the loophole, attacked the camp at night, and returned with a great defeat in the front and back.

When he was defeated, if it weren't for his confidant who sacrificed his life to save Zu Mao, Sun firmly died in the water. It's just that Sun Jian escaped, but Zu Mao was beheaded by Hua Xiong.

Love is about to die, Sun Jianyan can not be angry, and he can't wait to eat Yuan Shu's flesh.

The generals persuaded each other with good words, and Sun Jian restrained his anger a little and walked away.

Within one day, the princes of the two towns suffered defeats in a row, and the defeats were so wronged, which made Cao Cao angry and annoyed. He struggled to iron out his frowning brows, and sat down beside Luan Yi with a wine cup, "How can this be?" How so! ”

Luan Yi said with a smile: "If the hearts of the people are not aligned, they will come to this!" ”

"Huh......" Cao Cao glared at Luan Yi, "Ziqi still has the heart to laugh?" ”

"It's expected, it's useless to worry!" Indeed, if you ask anyone in this world who knows best the final outcome of the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Towns, it is none other than Luan Yi!

"People's hearts are scattered, and everyone has their own considerations, how can it become a big thing?"

Luan Yi patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said, "There are not many people who crusade against Dong Zhuo, but the essence!" ”

"What does Ziqi mean?"

"Brother, have you heard that brothers work together to break gold?" Luan Yi whispered to Cao Cao.

"Of course I heard that!" Cao Cao nodded.

Luan Yi said softly again: "It's just you and me, it's enough to kill Dong Zhuo!" ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Ziqi has a plan?" ”

Luan Yi nodded.

"Come on!"

"The time has not come! I'll let Brother Meng De know when I arrive. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, "Be a big white for this!" ”

"I'm happy to accompany you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank a full glass.

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on a high seat, watched Luan Yi and Cao Cao exchange their heads from afar, and wondered in his heart. didn't have time to think about it, so he heard the spies report that Hua Xiong led the army down to the pass, and used a long pole to carry Sun Jian's red scarf in front of the village to call for battle.

Yuan Shao was furious. "It's just right, who's going to fight!" He threw his eyes to Luan Yi again, but Luan Yi still ignored him and told Cao Cao a joke as if nothing happened.

At this time, a powerful general flashed behind Yuan Shu, and Mao Tui recommended himself: "Xiao Jiang Yu is willing to go." ”

Yuan Shao obeyed his words and sent him to battle. Yu Shi took the order and left.

After eating some food, the spy made great strides to report, "Alliance leader, it's not good. Yu Shi and Hua Xiong were beheaded! ”

The crowd was shocked. Jizhou Assassin Han Fu sent the general Pan Feng out to meet the enemy, and when he showed his face at first glance, he was beheaded by Hua Xiong under the horse.

The crowd was amazed. Yuan Shao said abruptly: "It's a pity that my generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived!" If you have to be alone here, why be afraid of Huaxiong! ”

Before he finished speaking, the next ** exhaled and said: "The young general is willing to cut off Huaxiong's head and dedicate it to the tent!" Everyone looked at it, and saw that his body was eight feet long, with wide shoulders and wide body, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a bucket of piles, a line of eyebrows, a national face, and a roar like a tiger, standing in front of the tent.

"Who are you?" Yuan Shao asked.
