"Wen Ruo, if I had listened to your advice earlier, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty would not have given orders to us at this time, but we would have given orders to others!"

Cao Cao felt very sorry, as early as when the accident occurred in Chang'an, Xun Yu suggested that he personally lead the troops to meet the Son of Heaven, take them to Yanzhou, control them in his own hands, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao of course was also moved, but he was fighting with Yuan Shao for Jizhou, and he couldn't spare his energy to do this, so when he was driven out of Jizhou by Yuan Shao, it was obviously too late to send Cao Hong to meet him.

Xun Yu sighed, his expression looked more serious, but somehow, he was faintly happy in his heart, as if the revival of the Han Dynasty made him very happy.

"My lord, now that our army is newly defeated, we have no ability to march north in a short period of time, and Yuan Shao is also on guard, so it is better to go to Luoyang, it is not good for us to resist the order and disobey it."

Cao Cao nodded and ordered: "Cao Ren, you immediately order 10,000 soldiers and horses and go with me!" ”

Cao Ren was stunned and asked, "Now?" ”

Cao Cao didn't look at him, ordered the attendants to take off their armor, and said to him while wearing armor: "Since you have decided to go, you will be the first to arrive, so that at least you will have a little impression in front of the emperor!" ”

The decree of the imperial court quickly spread all over the north and south of the river in an urgent way of eight hundred miles, Liu Yan of Yizhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Sun Ce of Jiangdong, Liu Yao of Yangzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Lu Bu of Bingzhou, etc., as long as there is a little strength, there is a little army in hand, Liu Zhi did not leave a single person to send all the people to send the holy decree, these are the emperor's personal inscription of the holy decree, Liu Zhi asked Cai Yong to treat it as a practice of calligraphy, handed over to the little emperor to write, and the result was written dozens of copies!

The reason why Liu Zhi wants to send so many holy decrees is to let everyone receive the holy decree, when they come, it is reinforcements, if they don't come, they are enemy troops, there is no middle ground, he wants to see how many people will come according to the order, and how many people will resist the decree and disrespect it.

Soon, there was a response from all over the country, and Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao was the first to lead a large army to reach the Tiger Prison Pass, stationed in the west of Luoyang City, and he brought 10,000 men.

Cao Cao may have been an insignificant small force a few years ago, but now he holds the entire Yanzhou and most of Qingzhou in his hands, and there are no less than 50,000 people in armor, and he is one of the most powerful people in the north, so his arrival has made many princes who are still hesitant to make up their minds.

Soon, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, and Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu also rushed to Luoyang with their own troops, they are all relatively close to Luoyang, and their strength is not too strong, except for Tao Qian, they are only Taishou in one place, and the army in their hands is nothing more than one or two hundred thousand people, but their arrival is more like a signal, dispelling the suspicions of more people who are still waiting.

Soon, more princes came to their aid with their own armies, some of them personally leading the troops, others assigning their own men to lead the troops, but they finally sent people.

Liu Zhi waited in Luoyang City for a month, and there were only three people who didn't come, Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Liu Yan from Yizhou and Gongsun Zan from Youzhou, and even Liu Biao, who had always been reluctant to get involved in the northern war, sent his nephew Zhang Yun with three hundred soldiers.

Three hundred soldiers, not even a song, he Liu Biao sits on the nine counties of Jingxiang, and the soldiers under his command are not 100,000 but also 80,000, and he actually fools people like this, showing that he does not take the court in his eyes, but it is not yet to the point of dealing with him.

This time, there are a total of twenty-six princes of the alliance, large and small, and the number of people is more than the last time in the sour jujube alliance, but there are not many troops, and everyone seems to be very smart, and they don't dare to bring too many troops over, but even so, there are still nearly 200,000 troops, plus the imperial army in Liu Zhi's hands, it is almost close to 250,000.

At this time, after the Western Liang Army sacked Chang'an City, the troops were disheartened, and a large number of Qiang people carried treasures to escape from the army and return to Liangzhou and Qinghai, so their troops were greatly reduced, and there were less than 100,000 people left at this time, but even so, they should not be underestimated, because more than half of the 100,000 Western Liang troops were cavalry, and the cavalry of the coalition army was less than 50,000.

Since it is a coalition army, there should be an alliance leader, but this time and the last time the situation is different, the last time everyone was for the emperor, so there was no direct appointment from the imperial court, the alliance leader was elected by himself, basically who is strong, who has a high reputation, who is the alliance leader, and this time, everyone did not come to the alliance, but in accordance with the will of the imperial court to beg the thief, so the commander of this army is naturally appointed by the emperor.

As expected, Emperor Xian appointed Liu Zhi as a general to lead the world's soldiers and horses, here is talking about leading the world's soldiers and horses, that is to say, everyone's army will not be theirs in the future, but the court's, everyone was shocked when they heard the news, many people have a feeling of being deceived, many people are upset, ready to lead the troops to leave, some people even threatened to lead the army to defect and defect to the Xiliang army, but Liu Zhi has long been prepared for this, he invited the little emperor, even if everyone is disrespectful to this emperor, They didn't dare to resist the emperor's decree in front of him, not to mention that Liu Zhi's army had already surrounded them, and if they dared to act rashly, they were afraid that they would immediately be in a different place.

To Liu Zhi's surprise, this time it was Liu Biao's nephew Zhang Yun who helped him a lot, the scene was a little deadlocked, no one wanted to give up their army, but they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the emperor, but Zhang Yun only had three hundred people in his hands, and it didn't matter if three hundred people gave up and didn't give up, if he threw his life here because of these three hundred people, it was obviously not a good idea, so Zhang Yun was the first to stand up and hand over his army.

With Zhang Yun taking the lead, some of the princes who were image of the Han family, such as Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian and others also subsequently handed over their military power, and although Gongsun Zhan did not come, but Liu Bei of the Plains Ling came, and he also stood up at this time and expressed his willingness to hand over his 3,000 troops.

Liu Zhi hadn't paid attention to him before, but at this time he thought that he had also invited such a number one person, he glanced at it, and saw that in addition to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, Liu Bei's side also had a silver-robed general, these eight achievements are Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's ability is not small, and he really let him deceive the most capable general under Gongsun Zhan!
