In 190 A.D., the first year of the first peace, in February, the princes of the world will be allied with sour jujubes, at the same time, Zang Hong also returned to sour jujube by boat from the port of Beiping on the right, originally the princes thought that the northern Xinjiang would not participate in the prosperity of the princes to discuss Dong, and their faces were suddenly as ugly as a dead old lady, but when they learned that Zang Hong turned around this time, not only with 30,000 elite iron horsemen in northern Xinjiang, but also Liu Tai's royal edict, one by one was immediately excited and speechless.

Liu Tai's support is equivalent to the fact that the behavior of the princes of the world gathering to rebel is justified, not to mention that the northern Xinjiang has also sent troops this time, and the famous generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Xu Chu who came to the northern Xinjiang, as for Zhang Jaw, few people have heard of it, but the princes also know that the one who can be named by Liu Tai as one of the generals will definitely not be ordinary people.

The most important thing that Zang Hong brought was not Zhao Yun's army, but a royal edict, the significance of this royal edict is not ordinary, it represents the recognition of the Hebei regime, and it also represents the support of Liu Tai, a big backer, behind the alliance of princes.

The princes have already received the news that Liu Tai will not come in person for the alliance of the heroes to fight against Dong this time, but cannot come in person, and the position of the leader of the alliance can naturally only choose someone else, is it possible to let Zhao Yun serve as the leader of the alliance? How could the princes of the world be willing to obey? In order to calm the hearts of the princes, after coming to the sour date, Zang Hong announced for the first time that within the royal edict, there was an alliance leader personally set by the god king Liu Tai.

Hearing this news, the princes can be said to be excited, and everyone wants to be the leader of this alliance, because at this time the alliance has been recognized by the god king, and being the leader of the alliance is equivalent to becoming the nominal leader of the princes of the world, who has no ambition? Even Zang Hong has this thought, but Liu Tai has already decided on the leader of the alliance, who dares to rob it?

Of course, in order to show respect for the god king Liu Tai, it is impossible for the royal edict to announce it casually, at this time, the majesty of the Han court is lost, and Liu Tai's royal edict is even more important to the princes than the holy decree, otherwise the princes will not look forward to the approval of the god king Liu Tai one by one.

There are a lot of princes who participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo this time, almost Yizhou and Liangzhou did not move, and the other major princes all set off, among which the most soldiers and the most singleton is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao crusaded against Dong Zhuo this time, but invested in the old capital, all the Taishan soldiers were all pulled, a full 50,000 people, hundreds of generals, strategists like clouds, in addition to Cao, Liu, Sun Neng compared with the princes, even if Yuan Shu who sat in Nanyang, the imperial township, was also much inferior.

Well, let's talk about the strength of the princes first, after all, since ancient times, the strength of the army is the most valued by the people of the world, and the strength of the army is the most direct way to divide the strength and weakness.

In addition to the 30,000 iron cavalry in the north and Yuan Shao brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Ying brought 30,000 people, most of them are two Huai elites, trained for many years, very elite, in the past, it was said that the pacification of Xuzhou Yellow Turban, the biggest credit is in this two Huai elites, as for the generals, except for the sailor general Gan Ning did not arrive, the other Cao generals all arrived Qi, En, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan are no exception, these two people are Cao Ying's ace generals, forget who, can not forget these two people.

Speaking of Cao Ying, naturally I can't fail to mention Liu Bei, Liu Bei is also like Cao Ying, bringing 30,000 people, but these 30,000 people are not ordinary soldiers and horses, Danyang soldiers! Since ancient times, the king of soldiers has come out of Danyang! This is recognized by the people of the world, of course, the Danyang soldiers are indeed invincible in the south of the Yangtze River, but after going north, no one knows the combat power, because the southerners came to the Central Plains, and this problem of not adapting to the soil and water is a very serious situation.

Liu Bei came, can Fan Hong, Xiang Fei, and Kong Yun not come? Fan Hong and Xiang Fei are Liu Bei's right and left hands, and Kong Yun is Liu Bei's mind, without Kong Yun, it is impossible for Liu Bei to become a taishou, in the entire Yangzhou regime, Kong Yun can be said to be the real head of the ministers.

Liu Bei has a good surname, that is, he knows how to delegate power, understands his ability to command the general direction at most, and some details cannot be handled by himself, so in Yangzhou, Kong Yun is more like Yangzhou Mu, because Kong Yun is handling big and small things, and Liu Bei looks more like a puppet.

Cao, Liu do not leave Sun, the Sun family in history, has always played the role of the gray wolf, a bite here, a knife there, although the behavior is despicable, but let the Sun family become the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, live the most nourishing family of the head of the family, at this time the leader of the Sun family is still Sun Jian, Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, at this time but live in the land of Jingnan, a bit ironic, but it does not hurt the elegance, at least the Sun family is also ranked among the princes at this time.

Sun Jian brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention the rest, Jingnan soldiers have not been famous since ancient times, and 4,000 of the 30,000 people, but I have to mention that these 4,000 people are the real elite soldiers of a hundred battles, Sun Jian's descendants brought out from Jiangdong are the best example of promoting Danyang soldiers, if there were no 6,000 Jiangdong soldiers who followed Sun Jian to the north, Sun Jian would not be able to break into such a big name today.

There are many generals in the Jingnan army, Sun Jian's old subordinates Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Zhu Zhi are all here, and even Sun Jian's youngest son Sun Ce also appeared in the military camp, Sun Ce is Sun Jian's pride, and he will be known as the strong man of Jiangdong's little overlord in the future. That's a bit unreasonable.

In fact, Sun Jian already has the intention of cultivating Sun Ce as a successor in his heart, after all, the battlefield is dangerous, and unforeseen things may happen at any time, Sun Jian doesn't want to inherit the Sun family's foundation in the future is a complete second lord, and he said that he can cultivate Sun Ce's ability earlier, Sun Jian can rest assured, right?

In addition to Sun Jian and others, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses of Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Qingzhou Mu Hanfu, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yuzhou Mu Kongyu, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Nanjun Taishou Zhang Yang, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Jiangxia Taishou Wang Kuang, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Chen County Taishou Zhang Miao, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Dongjun Taishou Qiao Hat, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, 20,000 soldiers and horses of Jibei Xiang Baoxin, 10,000 soldiers and horses of Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zang Hong of Chen County, a total of 460,000 troops! And Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses at this time were only about three or four hundred thousand, and the gap in strength between the two sides was not large.

Since Dong Zhuo got the news that the Princes' Alliance was crusading against him, he hurriedly ordered all the soldiers and horses from all over the country to be transferred to Luoyang, including 150,000 iron cavalry in the original Longxi, 50,000 iron cavalry in Hedong, 100,000 garrisons collected from Liangzhou, plus 100,000 Northern Army in Luoyang, 30,000 Xiyuan captains, and 20,000 Yu Linlang in the left and right five battalions, a total of 450,000 soldiers and horses.

In fact, Dong Zhuo still occupies a great advantage, because most of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are cavalry troops, as we all know, since the Han Dynasty, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong, under the iron hooves of the cavalry, the foot soldiers are almost a joke, 460,000 against 450,000, who wins and who loses, it seems that the alliance is huge, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, but who knows the final result?

Among these princes, in addition to the 30,000 northern Xinjiang iron cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun, there are more or less shadows of the gate lord clan, among which Zang Hong directly participated in the war as a gate valve, which shows that the gate lord clan in the late Han Dynasty is still extremely powerful after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, otherwise, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, how can there be so many soldiers and horses in just a few years?

In fact, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty urged the Yellow Turban Rebellion, not right, nor wrong, in the past, the gate lord clan valued the land and peasants more, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the gate lord clan put almost all of their energy on private soldiers, after the Yellow Turban raged, the gate lords became more and more aware that only with strong soldiers and horses is real, so that in the case of Emperor Ling's intention to delegate the power of the gate lord clan to recruit troops, the gate lord clan suddenly ranked among the princes, and some even sat on tens of thousands of troops, such as Zang Hong.

Well, the matter of soldiers and horses has passed for the time being, and at this time, the alliance of princes has entered an important plot, and the blood oath has been sworn by blood! This is a very important link, although old-fashioned, but every time the alliance is formed, this paragraph is indispensable, otherwise it will make people look a little nondescript, this time the princes are talking about Dong, and the princes are naturally waiting for this moment to come.

And Liu Tai's edict, Zang Hong is also ready to read it when the blood is the alliance, become the leader of the alliance, take the stage to order the world's heroes, who can take the throne? This is not the will of heaven, but man-made, it is the existence that all the princes fear from the bottom of their hearts, Beijiang, the God King, Liu Tai!

In 190 A.D., the first year of the first peace, on the fifth day of February, the sour jujube stood on the high platform, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered around the high platform, the colorful banners, the huge high platform in the center was extremely prominent, and the princes stood under the high platform one by one, waiting for the moment when Zang Hong read the edict of the king.

Standing at the forefront is Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Liu Bei, Sun Jian four people, the four of them represent a faction, including most of the world's forces, although Yuan Shao is a bit unqualified in the first place, but Yuan Shao is the eldest son of the Yuan family after all, and he is also the one who contributed the most to the princes to Dong this time, no one will object to Yuan Shao's existence, of course, there is one person who will always be dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, that is Yuan Shu.

The grievances between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can be said to have gone to the sea, at least there are no days and nights that can't be finished, as small as sesame mung beans and as big as women's land, almost both of them will argue, as if the blood flowing in the bodies of these two people is a fire god working together, and the other is the water god Zhurong, water and fire are incompatible

The newborn sun, sprinkled with warm divine light, shining the entire sour jujube with golden brilliance, Zang Hong stood on the high platform with the Yellow Roll King edict in his hand, wearing a feather crown on his head, wearing a white robe, accompanied by a long sword at his waist, with a face with a goatee, indescribable majesty, he didn't look like the head of a gate valve, but more like the overlord who commanded the world.

"The princes listen to the edict!" When the hour came, Zang Hong opened the yellow scroll, shouted hoarsely to the princes, the wind blew, blowing Zang Hong's white robe, against the backdrop of the high platform, it looked like a god standing in the sky.

"The ministers listen to the king's edict" in an uproar, including the princes, all the soldiers knelt on the ground, and there was a sound of weapons colliding, but no one dared to have any opinions, after everyone knelt down, they didn't even dare to breathe, and Zang Hong on the high platform was even more prominent.

In fact, the princes don't need to be called ministers, because Liu Tai is not the Son of Heaven, but just a king, but the problem is that today, Liu Tai, the king, has completely overridden the Son of Heaven, and he will not die if he kneels, but if he does not respect Liu Tai and reaches Liu Tai's ears, without Liu Tai doing it himself, the princes of the world will attack him in groups to gain Liu Tai's favor.

Seeing that the princes knelt down to accept the order without the slightest hesitation, Zang Hong sighed slightly in his heart, maybe the replacement of the Luoyang Han family by the God King is an irreversible trend, otherwise how could the princes kneel down so willingly to accept the order? That's the attitude toward the Divine Decree.

Thinking about it, Zang Hong still read it out loud in his mouth: "The god king has an edict, now Dong Zhuo is in chaos, the people of the world are not living, the vulgar language, the king humiliates the ministers to death, the son of heaven is in trouble in Luoyang, the princes of the world should take advantage of the situation to raise troops, the side of the Qing monarch, the widow is the king of the Han family, and he does not want to be in the same room, in order to avoid suspicion, this alliance will not go south in person, the position of the leader of the alliance, since there should be a sage in charge, and today, there are no more than three people who can be the lord of the alliance of the princes, one is Nanyang Yuan's, the second is two Huai Mengde, and the third is Jiangdong Xuande."

Speaking of this, Zang Hong paused, looked up at the expressions of the princes, and found that among the princes, Yuan Shao's face was the most prominent, and he was dead for a while, Zang Hong also knew that the representative of the Yuan clan in Nanyang was not Yuan Shao, as we all know, although Yuan Shu was not the eldest son, he was the leader of the Yuan clan in Nanyang, and he was the first choice for the next patriarch of the Yuan clan.

Yuan Shao was unwilling, gritted his steel teeth, his eyes were tightly fixed on the figure of Zang Hong on the high platform, all along, Yuan Shao has regarded Liu Tai as a teacher, although Liu Tai is still under Yuan Shao, but since ancient times, it is the first to reach the first, and Liu Tai has always valued Yuan Shao very much, and Yuan Shao's letters, revealing a strong sense of trust, Yuan Shao believes that his ability is recognized by Liu Tai, but Liu Tai did not mention Yuan Shao's name, this is a great irony, Yuan Shao's belief in Liu Tai, suddenly a crack appeared, I thought in my heart, could it be that I really haven't entered Liu Tai's eyes? Or has Liu Tai never valued himself?

If Cao Ying is the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao's heart will be a little better, if it is Yuan Shu, hum! Yuan Shao swore that he would leave the alliance as soon as possible, and do things under Yuan Shu, it would be better to wipe his neck, the contradiction between the two is impossible to reconcile, this is clear to everyone, and Yuan Shu's surname has always been obvious to everyone, it is impossible to serve as the leader of the alliance, if Yuan Shu is on the throne, I believe that not only Yuan Shao, but also a large part of the princes will leave, and the princes do not trust Yuan Shu's ability! And Yuan Shu laughed off his big teeth at this time, Yuan Shu had always been dissatisfied with Liu Tai before, because Liu Tai had not only been against Yuan, but also valued Yuan Shao very much, and many times in the documents of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao's name was mentioned, and Yuan Shao's ability was praised, so that after Yuan Shao's filial piety was completed, he was promoted by Emperor Ling, and without any family support, he even achieved the level of a military captain in the eighth school of Xiyuan, which made Yuan Shu jealous, and even ruthless Liu Tai to the bones, but this time Liu Tai's royal edict suddenly made Yuan Shu change his opinion of Liu Tai, Yuan Shu suddenly discovered that Liu Tai was really a virtuous king, otherwise how could he rank himself first among the people to be elected as the leader of the alliance? Ha ha
