Chapter 109: Alliance of Princes!
As soon as Liu Wei received Cao Cao's letter, he immediately gathered all the generals under his command and an army of 20,000 to prepare to go south to Sour Zao and participate in the alliance of princes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As early as a few days ago, Liu Wei had already ordered his ministers to prepare for the expedition, and now they have already made all the preparations. As soon as the letter arrived, the whole army could set out.
Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Wei led the four generals Lu Zhi, Yang Zaixing, Yang Miaozhen, and Xu Huang, as well as Wei Xiaokuan, Xun You, and Xun Yu, leading an army of 20,000 to the Sujube Alliance.
A few days later, ten miles before the sour jujube camp.
The princes from all walks of life, leading their own soldiers, lined up one by one. Flags were erected behind them.
There are "Yuan", "Liu", "Sun", "Gongsun", "Zhao".
"And so on different flags.
The princes were waiting for each other, looking forward to the northern land.
"Cao Mengde, you are really out of luck, Your Majesty actually sent your envoy to be responsible for receiving us, you are now a red man in the eyes of Your Majesty?" It was a middle-aged man with a majestic figure and a handsome face who spoke.
It's just that what he said seemed to be praising Cao Cao, but his face was full of sarcasm, as if His Majesty's two words had no weight in his heart.
"Highway, Cao didn't expect it, Your Majesty is wise and martial, but the Ming Lord, follow Your Majesty, Cao's wish can come true, and he will definitely be famous in history one day!" In the face of Yuan Shu's ridicule, Cao Cao did not care, but praised Liu Wei.
"Then I don't know what position Meng De has by His Majesty's side now?" Yuan Shu continued to sneer.
"No, Xihe is too guarded!"
"Shhh," Yuan Shu took the lead and shhh
"Meng De is by His Majesty's side, isn't he a celebrity, huh?" There are not enough talents around His Majesty, even if Meng De can't get the three dukes, why is he not even a Jiuqing? What is that place in the West River? Where birds don't, like I didn't follow Your Majesty, they all mixed up with the official position of Nanyang Taishou, why is Meng De still too shou, maybe, if Meng De doesn't follow Your Majesty, he can still be a Taishou in other rich places! Yuan Shu stroked his beard and chuckled.
Although Yuan Shu said that he was familiar with Cao Cao, he didn't deal with it, and he only had the opportunity to ridicule Cao Cao. Now Yuan Shu is in charge of the rich land of Huainan, and as a prince, he thinks that his strength is the best among the princes, and a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
So, when he learned that Cao Cao was only the Taishou of Xihe, Yuan Shu was extremely sarcastic and ridiculed.
"Oh, you don't know anything about the highway, do you think Your Majesty doesn't want to give Cao an official? But Cao is really not on the list! ”
"Your Majesty's side, Lu Zhi, Ding Guan, and Cai Yong are the three of them, needless to say, they are the great Confucians in the world! Secondly, there is Yang Zaixing, the first fierce general who defeated Lu Bu, and Yang Yansi, who joined forces with him to break through the siege of Xiliang! In June this year, Lu Bu led an army of 50,000 to attack the party, and Li Xianzhong led an army of 10,000, taking advantage of their half-crossing to attack, breaking Lu Bu, killing Lu Bu is a river of blood, Cao doesn't want to make meritorious service? Spanking you Cao hurried and hurried, heh, good guy arrived at that time, Lu Bu withdrew. In the end, on the reward of meritorious deeds, His Majesty named Li Xianzhong as a general, I, if it weren't for the intercession of the ministers, I would almost be punished for the crime of leaving my post without permission! "Cao Cao's words are rising, speaking half-truths and half-truths, deliberately belittling himself, and improving the ability of other courtiers under Liu Wei's command! to increase the mystique of Liu Bian.
"In addition to these, General Yang Jiye, who has guarded Yanmen for many years and has been on the battlefield for a long time! There is also a counter-plan, Wei Xiaokuan, who killed 100,000 foreign cavalry in an instant! These people were all talented at that time, so under His Majesty's command, I couldn't rank at all! Cao felt that an official position of Xihe Taishou was really not compromised! ”
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for my Cao Mou, who is good at communication and familiar with you, the task of this envoy would not have been Cao's turn! Haha......"
Cao Cao is generous, but he will not suffer, Yuan Shu used Cao Cao's official position to ridicule Cao Cao for following the wrong person, and Liu Wei will not know how to make good use of people. However, Cao Cao listed several civil and military officers under Liu Bian, which enhanced the mystery of Liu Bian, and the princes understood that Liu Bian's strength should not be underestimated, which enhanced Liu Bian's prestige!
For a while, Cao Cao was snorting, while the other princes had different expressions.
Kong Rong, Liu Yu, Tao Qian and other old ministers of the Han Dynasty all stroked their beards and secretly praised, their faces were full of relief, and they only felt that the Han Dynasty was promising!
But people with ulterior motives and ambitions have gloomy faces, and as soon as Cao Cao's eyes rolled, he included everyone's expressions in his eyes.
Cao Cao was chatting happily with the princes, but when he heard the direction of the north, the sound of galloping horses sounded.
"Where did the cavalry come from?"
"I heard that the scale is enough to be thousands, could it be that Xiliang Ma Teng is coming? No, no, it's impossible for Ma Tengyuan to come over in Xiliang! ”
"Could it be Dong Zhuo?"
The princes were shocked for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has arrived, come with me to greet you!" Cao Cao coughed dryly and said loudly.
"Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty has only been in the annexation state for half a year, and you have actually raised thousands of cavalry?"
The princes were surprised, looked at the northern land, and it didn't take long to see a big black flag, which came into view, with a big Chinese character written on it, and behind it, there was a huge battle flag with the word "Liu". After that, there are banners such as "Yang" and "Gao".
But it was Yang Zaixing, and the cavalry led by Gao Changgong arrived first.
I saw 5,000 cavalrymen, all of them with one man and two horses, all wearing black leather armor and holding spears. After more than half a year of training, they acted in unison, and when they were galloping, a murderous aura erupted.
Led by the two generals, Yang Zaixing is tall and mighty, and his wild and unruly momentum is undoubtedly revealed. The other rider is also a tiger's back and bee waist, but his face is with a terrifying ghost face, giving people a chilling feeling, it is Gao Changgong.
The five thousand horsemen were one mile ahead of the princes, and the ranks were divided into two columns, ahead of the princes, and in the middle was a wide avenue. The princes stood at the end of the road.
On the other side of the avenue, Liu Wei was dressed in a black dragon robe, and under the support of other civil and military forces, he came towards the camp of the princes.
"Wechen greets Your Majesty!"
Liu Wei came to dismount, and all the princes bowed and saluted.
"Congratulations, please get up!" Liu Wei looked solemn and said with his hands.
The princes of all walks of life stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, so let's go back to the sour jujube camp first, and then discuss the big thing of Dong Dachang!" But it was Liu Yu who saw a trace of fatigue between Liu Yu's eyebrows, and said loudly.
This is not the first time Liu Yu has seen Liu Bian, but this time when he saw Liu Bian, Liu Yu felt a little unbelievable.
In the past, Liu Wei, every time he saw himself, his eyes dodged, as if he was afraid, not to mention that he had no prestige, and it was possible to lose face. Then there is Liu Bian's previous figure, thin, pale-skinned, and unhealthy.
But the Liu Wei I see today is an extraordinary demeanor, and he has a sense of authority in his gestures.
Even, Liu Wei's figure and physique have undergone tremendous changes, with a height of more than six feet and a strong figure, compared to the leaders of his peers, he is not much more reckless.
And Liu Yu also observed that Liu Wei hung a sword at his waist, and his hand holding the sword had a layer of cocoons. Obviously, Liu Wei has also worked martial arts.
Liu Yu was ecstatic when he saw that Liu Wei had undergone such a huge change, and in combination with what Cao Cao said before, Liu Yu sighed in his heart, the Han Dynasty was promising, so Liu Wei was cited as the lord of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Wei was immediately distressed about the hope of the clan.
"Good!"
After a day of marching, Liu Wei also felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he immediately agreed to come down.
A group of princes embraced Liu Wei and went to the sour jujube camp.
