"There is an ancient saying that a serpent cannot be without a head! The princes of the Eighteen Roads jointly seek the thief and the king of Qin, and it is inevitable that there will be an embarrassment that they are not in one place, and they think that they should elect a leader of the alliance to lead us all! Dispatch in the center, so that we can pull hard in one place and the rope in one place! ”

The banquet was launched in a warm atmosphere, the big guys were pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and they were very happy to praise each other, Master Yuan originally liked this atmosphere, but Li had already pinched out three purple traces on his body, and he could only stand up and speak righteously:

"The so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives! I, Yuan Shu, have no talent and no virtue, so naturally I don't dare to covet the position of the leader of the alliance! So I elected Yuan Benchu as the leader of this alliance! Yuan Benchu has all the ability and talent, and he should be the best! Yuan's words can be regarded as not spitting out unpleasantness, and I hope that the public will forgive the sins! ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked, and the princes of the Eighteenth Road didn't know what they were talking about, Yuan Shao showed a modest look on his face, and stood up: "Mr. Zang Ziyuan once formed a righteous army before us, and Brother Meng De, who stooped down to the thief and stabbed Dong alone, although he was unsuccessful, it also greatly dampened the arrogance of the Dong thief!"

Now Brother Meng De is also an advocate of us gathering together to plan great things, as well as Wen Jugong, after Wen Jugong is a saint, benevolence is all over the world, and it is really ashamed to let Yuan Mou be the leader of this alliance! ”

Shameful? How do you feel that you are right? Li Kai was holding a chicken leg and stuffing it into his mouth, rolling his eyes while eating, expressing his infinite contempt for Comrade Yuan Shao; "A certain is now added as a small official under General Zhang's account!" , The person who spoke was a person behind Zhang Chao, a very old-fashioned face, not angry and arrogant, he was very silent and only said one word to indicate his identity and then stopped talking, but everyone knew that he did not intend to compete with Yuan Benchu for the position of alliance leader; Cao Ying also knew that his identity was not enough, and his strength was far behind, and he only brought about 8,000 people to the alliance this time, which was the person with the least number of soldiers and horses in the coalition army, after Yuan Shao said this, he said with a smile:

"Brother Benchu! Don't make fun of me! You are the leader of this alliance! In terms of talent, you used to be highly respected by the generals, in terms of identity, everyone here, there may only be your own brother, Uncle Liu Huang, and Wen Jugong can be compared, if you don't come to do this position, who will do it? ”

Uncle Liu Huang mentioned by Cao Ying refers to Liu Dai, the pastor of Yanzhou, not Liu Xuande who is standing behind Gongsun Zhan After Cao Ying finished speaking, Kong Wenju also said that he was old, and he didn't understand the military war, so he resigned; At this point, everyone reached an agreement, Yuan Shao was crowned as the leader of the Righteous Army, and got the most important capital in his life - supreme fame! The premise is that when he faces Dong Zhuo, even if he can't win, he can't lose!

Finally got a good position, of course, I had to be nervous, Yuan Dameng's leader launched his own personal speech, the content of which was: Eat together, sleep together, have a girl cough, this is not, there are enemies to cut together, etc., who dares to break the covenant, and the oath of people and gods is also shouted out by him; For a while, the atmosphere of the big tent of the Allied army was extremely warm, and everyone expressed their infinite admiration for the leader of the Yuan League, and the infinite indignation for the national thief Dong Thief Cao Ying watched all this coldly, with a glint in his small eyes; In addition to Cao Ying, the remaining calmer people in the whole big tent are the three brothers Li Kai and Liu Xuande, the three brothers Liu Xuande are not ready to express their attitudes because their identities are not enough for the time being, and Li is purely looking at the lively mentality; "Silence! Can you hear me? Cao Ying said loudly: "At present, the alliance has been established and the leader of the alliance has been elected, but there are still a few things to plan!" Cao has a lot of mouths! Nag, if you disturb the Yaxing of the princes, I hope you will forgive me! ”

I have to say that Cao Ying is still the same man at this moment, who is bent on making his best efforts for the revival of the Han Dynasty, he is more eager than anyone else to do it, and he hopes to defeat Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty as soon as possible; The elated atmosphere was temporarily calm under Cao Ying's shout, Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Mengde! You've been resourceful since you were a kid, and you've always done amazing things! If you want to think about it now, don't worry! ”

There are always amazing moves, Yuan Shao, is this ironicing himself? The two sword eyebrows shrugged slightly, and Cao Ying said with a smile: "I have four things!" One of them! The rebel army was established, and the eighteen people immediately formed an alliance! Punish the thieves together, this is the move of the Zhongxing Han!

But the problem is, these are what we think we are! There are still many people in the world who disagree with our actions! So! We need righteousness! To put it simply, this general meaning is simply - the edict! His Majesty's Edict of the Emperor! ”

"Righteousness yes, yes!" "Cao Mengde is right, if we don't have a righteous body, I am afraid that others will be falsely accused of being unjust!" The bigwigs from all walks of life suddenly became a mess, and there were many discussions: "Right now, the Son of Heaven is controlled by Dong thieves, and it is difficult to obtain the edict!" ”

"A group of rabble", Cao Ying's eyes showed a look of disappointment, he really didn't expect that there were so many people here who were in vain, and immediately shouted: "Feng Tianzi's edict!" All the princes take the order! ”

There was a thunderclap on the ground! Everyone was speechless! Hurriedly gathered together, kneeling on the ground according to the size of the official position, Li had not knelt down to anyone, hiding behind Yuan Shu and squatting, with a low eyebrows and a smooth expression, listening to the so-called content of the edict in Cao Ying's hand; After only listening to two sentences, Li Kai felt that something was wrong, pulled the corner of Yuan Shu's clothes slightly and shook his head, indicating that this was fake, Yuan Shu nodded with deep sympathy and did not squeak, he is now adhering to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, not saying that it is good, other things are free for others to do for him, this kind of thing is better for others to do!

"Hey! Cao Mengde! Doesn't that seem right with your edict? How could the Son of Heaven make such a majestic edict when he was still young? You're not pretentious, are you? Someone still stood up, Xuzhou Mu Tao Gongzu asked; Cao Ying's face was displeased, and the person who also figured out the joint in this matter was also blue on his face, this Tao Qian was unwise! Cao Ying faced the questioning and held the edict in his hand, and replied disdainfully: "All the princes here! Only I left Luoyang last, and I had the best chance of getting the edict; Time is right, people are right, even if this edict is not true, then - is every sentence here what the Son of Heaven wants to say but does not dare to say? Yes? The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the king humiliates the ministers to death! Tao-sama! Do you think I'm right? ”

Cao Ying's words were almost a roar, a roar stuck in his throat, like a fierce tiger that chooses people to devour, and his eyes are full of murderous energy! Tao Qian was stunned by the reprimand, he was not stupid, he just owed, he also wanted to understand what was going on, so he didn't refute it, but he hated Cao Ying deeply in his heart; The edict is also an edict, as long as everyone agrees with it! As long as everyone agrees that this is the real edict of the Son of Heaven, then the allies will occupy the commanding heights of righteousness, and they will be justified in the face of Dong Zhuo, otherwise, they will be traitors who commit rebellion!

Yuan Shao saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, stood up and laughed: "Don't worry about some trivial things, everyone is an ally, and we should work together to punish the rebellion!" Mengde! Didn't you say there were four things? What about the other three? ”

Cao Ying turned around, walked to the high platform where the alliance leader was sitting, reached out and put it in his arms and took out a map, with a sarcastic look on his face, and after hanging up the map, he said with a blank face: "The second thing!" Who is the vanguard and where it is captured!

Dong Zhuobing has a wide range of generals and strong strength! Don't underestimate it! At this time, he was at the peak of his life, holding the Son of Heaven and holding the title of Tianxian, and he was extremely arrogant! So! We need to beat his morale! The vanguard is the spearhead of the Allies! You must choose a fierce general who can fight well!

Win the first battle! The first victory will be the victory of the whole army! The first battle was defeated, our soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and no one in the world could stop the footsteps of Dong Thief! And also! The location of the attack needs to be screened and the last name is selected! My suggestion is - Bishui Guan!

The guard of Bishui Pass will be Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen, this person can fight well, he is a general who has been famous for many years, and the 30,000 people under his command are even more elite troops! Extremely difficult to deal with! As for why he chose Bishui Pass, because Bishui Pass is the gateway to Luoyang, as long as he gets through, he can get close to Luoyang and fight Dong Zhuo! ”

The strength of the allies may be very strong or weak, Cao Ying has an estimate in his heart, that is, while the morale is high, the enthusiasm of the princes from all walks of life is still fighting with Dong Zhuo to the death, so there is a slight chance of winning, if it is said that it is long, I am afraid that it will be dragged down!

"The Allied vanguard is precisely the unit that represents the face of the entire Allied army! Ladies and gentlemen! I wonder who would dare to take on this task? Yuan Shao looked around and asked slowly, looking a little majestic; In fact, there are really not many people who can hold this position, the first choice is Xiliang Ma Teng and Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, the reason is that Ma Teng is a Xiliang person, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with the same Xiliang Xiaoqi, and Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is also a pity that the Beidi Hu cavalry is frightened, the cavalry is only good at charging into battle, and is not good at attacking fortifications!

And the best person in the battle is probably still - Sun Wentai! Sun Jian stood up and replied loudly: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the allies!" It's just that there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters, and someone needs reinforcements! ”

"Wentai is brave! The pioneer is the best of the best! It's just that he lacks soldiers and horses, and I don't know who can help him? Yuan Shao looked around and asked loudly, but no one answered for a long time, and he could only make a code; There are also a lot of dog legs in these years, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao is Yuan Shao's loyal dog legs, with about 30,000 subordinates, after getting Yuan Shao's hint, he stood up righteously and said that he was willing to help Brother Meng; The pioneers were selected, and Cao Ying continued: "The alliance was established to jointly punish the thieves, regardless of each other, but some people brought only dozens of days of grain and grass, while General Yuan Highway and General Zhang Chao brought 500,000 stone grain and grass, which can supply the army for several months!"

In this way, it will inevitably cause some people to be hungry, and some people to eat in a panic; Cao had the courage to suggest that the post of grain and grass inspector be established! What do you think of hoarding grain and grass in one place and placing it in the rear of the coalition army to avoid being attacked by the thief army? ”

"This million stone grain and grass is really provided by the royal family of the three southern states! It's not that I Yuan Highway brought it, it's just to transport it for people, who doesn't know that my Yuan Highway is poor to death! Hahaha! Yuan Shu stood up, explained the source of the grain and grass clearly, made a joke, everyone burst into laughter, and had another opinion on Yuan Shu; Guarding the grain and grass also requires a strong person, and it also needs a fair and prestigious person to take on the role! According to the foolish opinion, I don't know what the princes think of General Yuan Highway? Brother Kong Ling stood up and spoke for Yuan Shu, and the Confucian Kong Rong who wore a pair of pants with him, and Han Fu, a celebrity, also agreed; Originally, Yuan Shao planned to arrange for Yuan Yu to guard the grain and grass, but now it may not work, and there are not a few people who support Yuan Shu, so he had to agree with a smile, and the young master Yuan has become a grain and grass officer gorgeously, and will avoid the war and garrison the troops in - Fengqiu!

"In addition to the above three recommendations! Cao also has a suggestion, that is, to form a think tank for the coalition! The slightest mistake can lead to disaster, so someone needs to come up with the best strategy for you to adopt! Cao Ying said as he set his eyes on the foodie behind Yuan Shu; Famous people in the world? Hehe, in Cao Ying's heart, Li is not the guy who can only dance and write, he is a very powerful figure in politics and military, isn't it a waste that such a talented person has to follow Yuan Shu to guard the grain and grass?

Yuan Shaoshen nodded approvingly: "The military attack is dangerous, it should indeed be so, but when choosing a think tank, it can only be more expensive, otherwise it is better not to form it!" Meng De is resourceful, why don't you just be the leader of this think tank? ”

"Hahaha! Cao Mou's talent is shallow, and it is inevitable that some people will not be convinced by this position, I recommend Li Xiaoxian, and I think the leader of the alliance also knows the talent of Xiaoxian! Cao Ying's modest refusal, but instead pushed Li Kai to the forefront; Li, who is like a foodie, has been eating since the beginning of the banquet, and even Yuan Shu feels a little ashamed, why did I abuse you? What a shame! Li rolled his eyes, and the big eaters are still not open to eat? It's cheap, don't take advantage of it! This reason is very powerful; Cao Ying's words obviously made Li Kai choked, and the thing stood up and said righteously: "I still think that this position is best held by Brother Meng De!" Who doesn't know your Cao Mengde's performance in the Yellow Turban Rebellion? In addition, a person was also recommended to the alliance leader - Mr. Zang Ziyuan! ”

The so-called think tank is estimated to be the General Staff, Yuan Shu has been sent by Cao Ying to be a grain and grass officer behind the coalition army, and it is a very safe kind, plus with the help of Xi Zhicai, he can be said to be foolproof, taking this opportunity, Li also wants to do something else, and he also likes to win over personal talents or something!

The number of think tanks of the allies should not be too large, so in the end, five people were selected, namely: Cao Ying, Li Kai, Xu You, Zang Hong, and Fu Zhi!

"Yuan Gong, wait a minute!" , The banquet dispersed, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng couldn't wait to catch up, shouted behind him, Yuan Shu stopped, politely gave a salute first, compared with his aristocratic temperament, Ma Teng from Xiliang is simply a bun!

Why Ma Teng couldn't wait to come, there was no other reason, it was nothing more than to see Ma Chao who had been following Li Kai, he thought Ma Chao was dead, but he didn't expect that he was very bad to the mother of the bear child, and he was also very strict with Ma Chao, but now he does show his longing for his son, with tears in his eyes and deep affection for licking calves; Ma Chao stared at Ma Teng without saying a word, without saying a word, Ma Teng called softly: "Chao'er, you are not dead yet, I think, I am my father!" Why don't you speak? ”

"How's my mother doing?" , Ma Chao's eyes flashed, he was just a child after all! The dry voice and indifferent attitude made Ma Teng's heart pull out fiercely, and said bitterly: "Your mother has become sick with longing."

"Ma Teng! I hate you! Suddenly hearing the news, Ma Chao's face turned red, his muscles were exposed, and he roared viciously! Turned and ran away, and soon disappeared into the night, sobbing could be heard in the distance; "Brother Shoucheng! Don't be sad he's still a kid! Blood is thicker than water, he", Yuan Shu admonished; Ma Teng Muran's face suddenly turned red, and he stretched out his hand to hit Yuan Shu, probably too angry, so that he made such a move without thinking, Li Mouren saw that this was okay, and kicked Ma Shoucheng to the ground; Ma Teng fell to the ground, a general behind him glared angrily, his eyes were fierce, Wang Yue beside Yuan Shu also drew his sword and stepped forward to protect Yuan Shu, and the two sides seemed to be about to break out into a fight; "Woo woo woo", a terrible whimper, sounded on the ground, Ma Teng punched the ground, and scolded vaguely: "You robbed my son, you robbed my son"

Yuan Shu sighed and stepped forward to help Ma Teng: "Brother Shoucheng loves his son deeply!" Yuan deeply admired, this is what a father should do, and talk to me in the big tent."

Ma Teng is like an injured child, aggrieved, a good son, raised for more than ten years, and in a blink of an eye, he became someone else's, so that now he doesn't recognize Lao Tzu, can he feel better?

When he came to the barracks, Huang Zhong had already arranged everything, it can be seen that this father is now full of energy, and his ability is also very good, after Yuan Shu came back, he was also amazed, and praised Huang Zhong again and again; When he came to the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shu invited Ma Teng to sit down, and began to tell what happened in the Battle of Xiliang last year, how he met Ma Chao, and how Ma Chao is now, and told the wishes of the matter as it was; Ma Teng was sentimental: "Hey! Regret not being at the beginning! It's all my fault, my fault! ”

Li Kai looked at the sad Ma Teng, and felt a little guilty in his heart, but Ma Chao belonged to him, he still had a task on Ma Chao, and he must not let Ma Chao go, he had already thought of a way to stop Ma Teng from taking Ma Chao away, but it was definitely not now, and now it can only be perfunctory; "Chao'er is my student! Frankly speaking, Brother Shoucheng's way of educating children is really weird, a good general's billet was almost ruined by you! You want to take him away for now, don't say I don't agree, even he himself doesn't agree!

Brother Shou Cheng has never heard a sentence - time is the best healing medicine, I think Chao'er will figure it out after a while, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water is impossible to erase", Li Mouren gushed out his comfort;
