Chapter 288 claims to be 800,000

Cao cāo called a junior colonel and asked him to go to Liu Bei, while he and Yuan Shao stood at the door and waited. 【Reading.com】

After a long time, the little colonel led Liu Bei to arrive, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all three of whom had mud on their bodies, rolled up their trousers, and wore straw sandals with bare feet, as if they were working in the field just now.

Liu Bei finished repairing the new castle a few years ago, for the ministers to live, in the process of repairing the city, he and many of the lowest soldiers to have a good relationship, now the Yuancheng side is in a chaotic stage, most of the soldiers are newly recruited, they have no opinion on the Han Dynasty is Liu Xie as the emperor, or Liu Wei as the emperor, who likes to be whom, as long as they can have a stable life

Whether the princes brought their own soldiers or recruited soldiers nearby, they were not very good to the soldiers, and looked down on the soldiers, but Liu Bei was the opposite, he was very good to the soldiers, no matter whose soldiers he was, as long as he talked to him, he responded enthusiastically, and when he ate, he also ate with the soldiers, and he was very kind of sharing weal and woe, so the soldiers here in Yuancheng, no matter whose subordinates they were, all had a good impression of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's name was very loud in the coalition army, louder than any of the princes along the way

Liu Bei didn't dare to openly pull the generals of the princes, but he estimated that if the coalition forces were separated, he could get a small official position or something, then there would be a lot of people who followed him, but now he has no foothold, no territory, even if he lets the soldiers follow him, then he can't afford to raise it, he can't afford to raise it, he will scatter quickly, and it will damage his reputation, so he has not won over the generals of other princes, and the department is still the Xiangyong brought out from the countryside.

When the little school went to call Liu Bei, Liu Bei and Guan Zhang were playing mud outside the city, and when they heard Cao cāo calling him, Liu Bei took his two brothers and hurried over.

Coming to the door, Liu Bei stepped forward and saluted: "Two generals, I don't know what to call Bei to come?" ”

Cao cāo glanced at Liu Bei, then at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him, and thought: "This Liu Bei is not very good, but the second general behind him is a rare talent, but it's a pity that Mingzhu secretly invested."

Cao cāo said: "Brother Xuande, you are a relative of the Han family, and you are a humble person, so I and General Yuan in front of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince have promoted you, and the Queen Mother has named you the Marquis of Yuancheng, and the fief is this Yuancheng." You say, how can you thank us? ”

Liu Bei was immediately stunned, he ran out of his hometown, looking for a marquis for thousands of miles, in order to restore the ancestral family, but he didn't expect that he would be a marquis so soon, he was in Yuancheng, there was no merit, that is, to build a castle, but what kind of merit is this, nothing is it

But Liu Bei is not an ordinary person after all, he was only stunned for a moment, and then he understood that he came, the Empress Dowager Dong had no henchmen around her, this is to promote herself, and then let herself be a confidant for her and the prince Don't look at Cao Cāo said it nicely, saying that it was he and Yuan Shaobao, in fact, if there is no mistake, when the Empress Dowager Dong wanted to crown herself as a marquis, these two people didn't know how to oppose it, and now that they came out, they changed their mouths and began to sell their favors

I understand it in my heart, but I can only hide it in my heart, and I can't say it in my mouth. Liu Bei thanked him repeatedly, as if this matter could not be done without Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao, and his attitude was sincere, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he thanked Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao as benefactors

Not only Liu Bei couldn't stop thanking, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also full of joy, they are not famous generals now, although they are very proud, but because of Liu Bei's marquis, their status has risen suddenly, and the rise is really too big, so that they can't be proud, they all have a flattered expression, I feel that the Empress Dowager Dong is too good, and the little prince is too wise to know heroes, even if Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao are not sincerely grateful, they can't do Liu Bei's sincerity, but they also thanked several times, After all, I was so happy

Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed to be thanked, but Cao Cāo was unmoved, the more sincere Liu Bei's thanks, the more he felt that Liu Bei was not a simple person, and the more he regarded Liu Bei as an opponent

Cao cāo said: "Brother Xuande, just because after you came to Yuancheng, you didn't have an inch, but you suddenly became a marquis, and the other princes didn't have this treatment, I'm afraid it will cause others to be disgusted, and even jealous, this must be guarded against."

Liu Bei knew in his heart that it must be Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao, the two guys, who made it bad, and saw that they couldn't stop the Empress Dowager Dong from making themselves marquis, so they gave a halberd, if the expectation was good, they must let themselves attack Li Qin, and they must be the vanguard, so that they can make meritorious contributions to level the mouths of everyone, and in addition, I really can't think of other ways to make meritorious contributions

Sure enough, this result was very easy to guess, so he guessed it right as soon as he guessed. I heard Cao Cāo say: "So the Empress Dowager and her old man intend to temper you, and plan to let you act as the vanguard officer of the coalition army and go west to attack Li Qin." General Yuan and I saw that you had few soldiers, so we took the initiative to divide each of you with 1,000 jīng soldiers, all of which were cavalry, and General Gongsun Chan also wanted to divide your 1,000 cavalry, and make up 3,000 iron cavalry to attack Li Qin, this burden is not light, are you willing to bear it? ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: "If you really let me be a pioneer and give me soldiers and horses, but it is estimated that the Empress Dowager Dong wants to give it, maybe it was supposed to give more, but they desperately opposed it, and it was reduced to one thousand per person" He thought about things in his heart, so he didn't thank him immediately.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo glanced at each other, and thought to themselves: "This person still has some talent, at least not the kind of person who is easy to be fooled, could it be that he knows that we are going to send jīng soldiers to him, is it because he wants to get rid of him faster when he suffers defeat?" ”

Cao cāo said: "Brother Xuande, let's go in and thank the Queen Mother and the Prince."

Liu Bei came back to his senses, and hurriedly thanked Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao, and followed the two people into the temporary palace, to thank the Empress Dowager Dong Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for staying outside the door, the two were very excited, they were originally very dissatisfied with sending Liu Bei to be a coolie to repair the city, thinking that this was contempt for Liu Bei, but now they don't think so, thinking that it is a tempering that must be passed before the great task of heaven, the two of them don't have too many opinions in politics, just for Liu Bei to seal the marquis, and get three thousand iron horses, happy in their hearts

After Liu Bei entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Dong naturally had to say some high-sounding words first, and encouraged him well, and then let Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao go separately, she left Liu Bei to eat, which was an extraordinary grace, when he was in Luoyang before, Mo said Liu Bei, even He Jin had never enjoyed this kind of treatment, Liu Bei was naturally grateful to tears, and repeatedly said that he would swear allegiance to the Queen Mother and the prince

Empress Dowager Dong took the opportunity to talk to Liu Bei about the attitude of Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao when she was the marquis, and asked Liu Bei to be careful of these two people, no matter what, for the courtiers, she still trusted the children of the clan more, but after she said these words, she only thought that she could win Liu Bei more, but she forgot that this would make the generals dissatisfied with each other and pull their skins, that would make the war fail, if it failed, she would never want to return to Luoyang in her life

After eating and showing his loyalty, Liu Bei withdrew. As soon as he went out, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately came forward, and Guan Yu asked, "Big brother, has the Queen Mother left for dinner?" What did she say? ”

Zhang Fei said: "Big brother, let's go and pick up troops, and then raise troops to the west to defeat Li Qin, the eldest brother is a royal family, then Li Qin can be crowned king, why can't you, if you can be crowned a king, it would be great"

Liu Bei looked back and said: "The kindness of the Queen Mother and the crown prince is difficult to repay with broken bones, as for the matter of picking troops, I'm afraid I can't get my wish, General Gongsun is my fellow disciple, he will divide my jīng soldiers, but General Cao and General Yuan...... Alas, if you really want me to pick up troops, I'm afraid they are willing to go with me, more than 3,000 people."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said together: "The eldest brother is generous, and the generals are naturally willing to follow" and hugged him to find Gongsun Zhan.

After a while, Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao were also happy, and they really gave Liu Bei a thousand cavalry, and Gongsun Zhan even picked out a thousand jīng soldiers and gave them to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, he immediately gathered the soldiers who were assigned, almost one by one, more than 3,000 soldiers he questioned one by one, asked where his hometown was, asked who else was in the family, what ideals there were, and then it was the big training, he personally led the army to spread joy in the open area near Yuancheng, running around, practicing various formations, although he didn't practice any tricks, but such a "share weal and woe" to eat together, sleep together, but it was very supported by the soldiers, At least on the surface

Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao watched coldly and did not interfere with anything, while the other princes gritted their teeth in anger when they saw Liu Bei being so able to toss, and they didn't understand how this fake prince who made straw shoes could be so noisy, which was really strange. Even some people with the surname Liu, or those who were not originally surnamed Liu, but now changed their surname to Liu after arriving in Yuancheng, all ran to the outside of the palace, asking to meet the Empress Dowager Dong, wanting to mix up an official and a half-position, and the Empress Dowager Dong did not refuse, whoever wanted to see her, she was willing to see, and even worked diligently, wantonly to win over "talents", she actually intended to make up a temporary Yulin Army to come out, but unfortunately no prince was willing to raise the arch grain and grass and military equipment, so she could only gather these people together first, for later use.

After nearly a month, all the princes who promised to come have arrived, counting Liu Bei, a total of 18 roads, a total of about 150,000 troops, about 100,000 people who can really go to the battlefield, still mainly recruits, and the remaining 50,000 old and weak soldiers are all auxiliaries in a so-so way.

When the princes arrived at Qi, Yuan Shao presided over the alliance, and the princes killed the green ox, made a blood alliance, swore to fight against the national thief Li Qin, and after drinking the blood wine, they set off, with Liu Bei as the first pioneer officer, Lu Bu as the second road, Yuan Shao in the center, and after Cao Cāo was broken, 150,000 people, known as 800,000, set out from Yuancheng in a mighty way, and went west to crusade against Li Qin and his Fujiao army
