Chapter 36: The Tiger Prison Alliance
Yuan Shao's text was scattered everywhere, the world responded, a total of seventeen princes raised troops together, the first road Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, the second road Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, the third road Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, the fourth road Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, the fifth road Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, the sixth road Chen Liutai guard Zhang Miao, the seventh road Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, the eighth road Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, the ninth road Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, the tenth road Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, the eleventh road Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, the twelfth road Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, the thirteenth road Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, The 14th Road Beiping was too shou Gongsun Zhan, the 15th Road was too guarded by the Party Zhang Yang, the 16th Road Changsha was too guarded by Sun Jian, and the 17th Road Yulin Army was left to lead Cao Cao. The princes of all walks of life had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and as little as 10,000 or 20,000, and marched to Luoyang.
After Liu Meng received the holy decree and the text, he also wondered, Cao Cao had been gone for a long time, why there had been no news, but Yuan Shao took the lead in raising troops, in his mind, history should have changed, after all, now that he occupies the Tiger Prison Pass, it has changed history.
The princes from all walks of life are far and near, and they have come to the Tiger Prison Pass one after another, and now Liu Meng is also a person with a lot of status, and everyone knows that Dong Zhuo will not despise him not long ago, so the princes also came here one by one to visit, and Cao Cao was the fourth to come.
"Haha, Fengyi is now very prestigious, his subordinates injured Lu Bu, and Fengyi personally beheaded Huaxiong and broke Dong Zhuo, if it weren't for Fengyi, we might still be blocked under the tiger prison." Cao Cao laughed.
"My brother has a good reputation, and the last time my brother left, he said that he would raise troops to invite the world to discuss Dong Zhuo, why has there been no news?" Liu Meng asked the doubts in his heart.
"This matter is strange, when my brother returned to his hometown, he did not have time to go to the city to rest and slept in the wilderness, and in the middle of the night, out of nowhere, he suddenly killed more than 100 military horses, all wearing black armor, and he couldn't see it at night, but these people's eyes were green, and they didn't speak and attacked directly, I saw this and hurriedly got on my horse and fled, and those troops didn't chase after me, I have never seen such a strange army. I was injured when I broke out of the siege, and it took me a lot of time to recuperate, and when I returned to my hometown to recruit volunteers and wanted to do something, I happened to send the original document to Chenliu, and I came with Zhang Taishou. By the way, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't have time to carry the armor given to me by Fengyi in a hurry, and I disappointed Fengyi's kindness. Cao Cao was a little apologetic.
"Brother is fine, don't worry about some things outside your body." Liu Meng comforted.
Green eyes, Liu Meng's first thought was the undead army, but he didn't think it was, because he had been here for a few years, except for the trip to Hengshan once, he had never encountered any undead, he felt that it should be the system to brush out the guard armor, although Liu Meng felt that this explanation was quite ridiculous, but he had come to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also possible for the system to brush a few undead monsters. And Liu Meng couldn't figure out why those military horses attacked Cao Cao and didn't pursue them later, plus Cao Cao didn't have anything to do, so Liu Meng didn't think about it anymore.
Soon after, Liu Meng's total of 19 princes gathered outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and the camp composed of more than 300,000 infantry troops and 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry spread for one or two hundred miles, and countless flags fluttered.
Seeing that people were in Qi, Liu Meng, as a landlord, invited all the princes to the residence in Guanzhong to discuss the appropriateness of directors.
After beckoning everyone to take their seats, Liu Meng gave a deep salute and said: "It is the luck of the Han family that you are gathered here today. Liu Meng knows that there are some of these people who are afraid that Dong Zhuo will annex his territory after becoming bigger, but it is undeniable that there is indeed a person who is dedicated to the public between them, such as Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others are separated from Dong Zhuo by 108,000 miles but still raise troops to come, this is for the sake of righteousness, although in history Sun Jian later privately hid the jade seal, but that is all later, at least now he has no dissent, just a loyal person who is dedicated to the country, so Liu Meng's gift this time is from the heart.
Everyone said: "Don't dare to be, this is the duty of the minister, Dong Zhuo's killing of the emperor is intolerable, and he should be punished." ”
"Now that we are waiting for the alliance to be here, but the snake is headless, it is not possible to do it, and it is supposed to elect a leader of the alliance." Sun Jian said.
Everyone nodded yes.
"At the beginning, he received the secret decree of the saint, and the fourth and third princes of his family have now been named generals, thinking that he could be the leader of the alliance at the beginning." Cao Cao said.
Liu Meng understood Cao Cao's thoughts, Yuan Shao was the strongest among all the people, and Yuan Shao's character was difficult to ensure that he was dissatisfied if someone else was the leader of the alliance, which was not conducive to the actions of the allies. Liu Meng also felt that it was better to elect Yuan Shao as in history, but he just wanted to speak out in favor of it, but someone next to him made a statement.
"Dong Zhuo led 100,000 troops to take the tiger prison before, if there was no Liu Fengyi, how could you sit in this tiger prison? And it is a relative of the Han family, and I am here to revive the Han family this time, I think it is better to be the leader of the alliance. ”
Liu Meng wondered how someone still recommended him, and when he heard the reputation, he found that the speaker was Yuan Shu, and he had no friendship with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's words made Liu Meng a little confused.
Of course, Liu Meng didn't know Yuan Shu's thoughts, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were already divided into concubines, and they were at odds with each other, he knew that his reputation was not as good as Yuan Shao's, and the position of the leader of the alliance was naturally incompatible, but he didn't want to see Yuan Shao sit on the position of the leader of the alliance to boost the momentum, so he promoted Liu Meng to prevent Yuan Shao from succeeding.
Yuan Shao originally heard Cao Cao's words with a happy face, and just wanted to excuse himself a few words before accepting it, but he never thought that Yuan Shu would suddenly say such words, and his face suddenly sank a little, but you are a prince all the way, and the city government still has it, so he instantly changed his face and laughed: "Haha, what the highway said is very true, we are all here for the Han family, and it is natural for Fengyi to be the leader of the alliance." ”
Liu Meng is the closest to Yuan Shao, so he naturally sees the look on his face really, and there are twelve words in the evaluation of Yuan Shao in history that are the most accurate. The heart is really true, and he doesn't seem to mind on the outside, but if Liu Meng really accepts the position of the alliance leader, it is really difficult to say whether Yuan Shao obeys his orders or not, but Liu Meng never thought of being the alliance leader, after all, the alliance leader has to bear the burden of the entire army's food and grass, and he doesn't have so much money and food.
"You have praised it falsely, but this time to discuss the survival of the director Guan Han's room, how can a certain person be so young to take on this big responsibility? I also felt that it was most suitable for my first brother to be the leader of the alliance. Liu Meng excused himself.
Yuan Shu saw that Liu Meng himself had no choice but to resign, so he stopped talking. Yuan Shu did not object, and naturally no one objected, after all, Yuan Shaona's family background of the fourth and third princes was also the initiator of this alliance, and it was reasonable to be the leader of the alliance.
So Yuan Shao pretended to excuse himself twice, and then agreed, looking at Yuan Shao's cloudy and sunny face, Liu Meng secretly pouted, and paid money and food, just for the title of this alliance leader, Liu Meng couldn't understand what to be happy about.
