Chapter 21 Bishui Pass
The princes of the Eighteenth Route successively led their troops to a place more than 100 miles outside Bishui Pass, about 300,000, claiming an army of 500,000. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info princes from all walks of life set up camp in the village, and the military camp stretches for more than 200 miles, which is magnificent.
The princes went to the banquet in Cao Cao's army to discuss Dong Zhu's affairs, and during the banquet, when talking about the strategy of marching into the army, Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi, took the lead in proposing: "The three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. If you want to enter the army, you need to set up an alliance to dispatch the three armies and restrain the various departments, I don't know what the princes think? ”
During the banquet, everyone echoed.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, got up and arched his hand and said, "Why don't you listen to Cao's words?" ”
Everyone held their breath and listened to Cao Cao's words, only Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao frowned slightly, his expression was quite displeased, and he got up and said: "Meng De, we are raising the army to help the Han family, not to respond to your request for thieves. ”
Cao Cao smiled, a hint of cunning flashing in his small eyes. Cao Cao has played with Yuan Shao since he was a child, and his intentions have long been clear, and Yuan Shao is so eager to show his intentions, but he is just worried that Cao Cao will claim to be the leader of the alliance.
At that moment, Cao Cao did not break it, and he bowed his hands again and said to everyone: "Yuan Benchu, the third prince of the fourth generation, and many old officials, are the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, and can be the leader of the alliance." ”
"Ugh."
As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and his mind couldn't turn around. It wasn't until everyone echoed each other that Yuan Shao came back to his senses and repeatedly excused himself: "Shao has very little qualifications and little reputation, so he must not be the leader of the alliance." ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "This is what everyone expects, so there is no need to shirk it in the first place." ”
Yuan Shaofu pretended to excuse himself again, and said in contemplation: "It's better like this, how about I be the leader of the alliance and Meng De as the deputy leader of the alliance?" ”
There is no way, Yuan Shao just thought about the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong this time, Jiao Wen was sent by Cao Cao, and the discussion was also in Cao Cao's army, which shows Cao Cao's prestige at this time. If this Meng De did not become the leader of the alliance, he would have some prestige and would be difficult to convince the public. It's better to give Cao Cao a nominal position as the deputy leader of the alliance, so that Cao Cao has nothing to say, and he can be the leader of the alliance well, why not.
Everyone agreed, and Cao Cao had no choice but to agree.
The next day, Cao Cao ordered people to build three layers of the platform outside the Bishui Pass, the platform is full of five-color flags, white and yellow Cheng, and the soldiers and generals are sealed, and the princes of the eighteen roads are arranged under the stage in turn, respectfully invite Yuan Shao to take the stage, the horn is sounding in unison, the three drums are stopped, Yuan Shao is wearing gold armor, the head is wearing a golden helmet, and the sword is on the side.
Yuan Shao strode to Taichung, his eyes swept over the princes of the audience, and said loudly: "The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is out of control, and the thief Dong Zhuo is perverse, and the disaster is supreme." Abuse of the people. We were worried about the loss of the community, so we gathered volunteers to go to the national disaster. All our alliances, when we work together, there will be no two ambitions, if this alliance is violated, the world will fight together. The emperor and the queen of the earth, the gods and spirits learned from it. ”
After the alliance was dismissed, Yuan Shao was promoted to the general.
He ordered his younger brother to be the governor of Yangzhou to assassinate Yuan Shu and supply grain and grass to the battalions. He also made the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian the vanguard, and led 8,000 elite soldiers to tentatively attack Bishui Pass.
"Report~" A junior colonel hurriedly broke into the hall, ran down in the hall with a "poof", and said quickly, "Lord Taiwei, the water pass is urgent!" ”
"What?" Dong Zhuo's face changed, and he said, "Speak quickly!" ”
Xiao Xiaofu knelt down on one knee and said: "Jiangdong Sun Jian led 8,000 elite soldiers to attack Bishui Pass. In addition, Yuan Shao of Jizhou led 500,000 Kwantung coalition troops to be less than 50 miles away from Bishui Pass, and General Fan Chou asked Dong Gong to send a large army to reinforcements, but he was afraid that he would lose it. ”
Dong Zhuo looked around at the generals in the hall and said quickly: "Everyone, the Bishui Pass is in an emergency, who is willing to lead the army to the rescue?" ”
In the hall, Lu Bu suddenly came out of the queue and said loudly: "Bu is willing to lead the army to go." ”
Before Lu Bu's words fell, Hua Xiong hurriedly came out of the ranks and said loudly: "Why do you need General Lu to lead the troops in person, and the last general Hua Xiong swears to behead Sun Jian and return." ”
"Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, the young general is willing to go!" Hua Xiong's voice fell. Another young general flashed out, Dong Zhuo looked at it, but it was Zhang Liao, the general of Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo saw that Zhang Liao was handsome and heroic, and all the generals under his command were vying for each other, and he was not afraid of the strength of the Kwantung Coalition Army and retreated slightly, so he was overjoyed and said: "Okay! With Hua Xiong as the main general and Zhang Liao as the deputy, he immediately led 50,000 troops to rescue Bishui Pass. ”
Hua Xiong and Zhang Liao clenched their fists and said loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”
……
When the princes of the Eighteenth Road would ally outside the Bishui Pass, Yunsheng in Luoyang City was persuading Cai Yong to run away with him. In Yunsheng's memory, Dong Zhuo later moved the capital to Chang'an when he couldn't defeat the Kwantung Coalition Army, and set fire to Luoyang City, which was simply ......
"Uncle, now that the 500,000 Kwantung Coalition Army is fighting Dong, in my opinion, Dong Zhuo's chances of victory are slim! Come with us to Xuzhou. "Yun Sheng doesn't know how to say it, Cai Yong and him are all right, but he has this stubborn temper. Eight cows couldn't pull it back.
"Yunsheng, uncle, I am grateful for his kindness and repay his sincerity. Why go? Besides, I'm in the last years of my life, and even if I go, I won't live long. Cai Yong said with a sigh on his face.
"This, this~" Yun Sheng suddenly didn't know what to say, "Uncle, you don't have to think about yourself, but you have to think about Wen Ji!" ”
Cai Yong put down the brush and said to Yun Sheng seriously: "Yun Sheng, I know. But I really can't go! Wen Ji... Wen Ji she ...... You can take her back to Xuzhou with you. Take good care of her, this is my only request to you, and my last. Promise me. ”
For Yunsheng, Cai Yong is the only friend in the true sense of the word since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he is also a teacher, although he is really unknown.
Yun Sheng still wanted to persuade again, but Cai Yong shouted: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade again." ”
Can't Yunsheng had to give up.
Outside Cai's mansion, Yun Sheng, Fang Yue and Wen Ji were carrying their bags, Wen Ji was really sad, and knelt down to say goodbye to her father at the door of the mansion. Cai Yong also knew, but he couldn't see each other, he only watched quietly through the crack in the door, he had to firmly remember what Wen Ji looked like now, maybe today's parting would be forever.
……
The three of them dressed up in disguise easily passed the inspection. Out of the city, Yun Sheng took out the map from his arms and looked at it. "Now in Bishui Pass, the two armies are probably at war. In this way, Fang Yue took Wen Ji from Yuzhou Peiguo back to Xuzhou. ”
"Yunsheng, what about you?" Wen Ji wondered.
"I'm going to Cao Cao's place, and by the way, I'll see if I can help. After all, he is a friend I don't know much in Luoyang. Yun Sheng said with a sincere face.
The corners of Fang Yue's mouth twitched, and he looked disbelieving. Wen Ji looked worried and made a gesture to speak. Yun Sheng hurriedly said, "Okay." Then it's decided. Be careful on the road, I'll go first, and we'll meet in Xuzhou Chenfu. ”
