Chapter 49: The World Responds
The text spread all over the world, and the heroes responded one after another, and they raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
Later generals Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, all led the army of the alliance towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
And Sun Jian as the general of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao had a close personal relationship, Zhang Miao handed over all his troops to Cao Cao's command, and combined them into a crusade army, plus the hussar general Gongsun Yi stationed in Suozao County, a total of 12 princes raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.
As for Xiliang Ma Teng, at this time, he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's prestige, and did not respond to the letter sent by Gongsun Yi, and the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu deteriorated day by day, coupled with the fact that the foreign patriarch violated the border pass, Gongsun Chan personally led the army to defend the border and guarded the people, and did not lead the army to come to the alliance.
At the same time, the later general Yuan Shutun soldiers in Nanyang, Kong Lingtun soldiers in Yingchuan, Jizhou Mu Han Futun soldiers in Ye, and Gongsun Yi received the first batch of Zhang Miao and others in sour dates.
However, through the investigation, the army of these princes except for Yuan Shao's more than 20,000 troops and Yuan Shu's more than 10,000 troops, the rest of the princes' troops led no more than nearly 10,000 troops, and no more than thousands.
And Dong Zhuo, who defended Luoyang, even if he collected all the surrounding strength, plus the forbidden army in the city and the Bingzhou army snatched from Ding Yuan, plus the troops drawn from Chang'an, the total strength was only fifty or sixty thousand.
Think about the continuous wars at the end of the Han Dynasty, the decay of the imperial court, the people's lack of livelihood, the death of the elite soldiers, coupled with the famine of the countryside, the epidemic of epidemics, and the large-scale reduction of the population, the total number of troops of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu was only one million, and only in the novel can there be so many troops.
The hussar general Gongsun Yi entertained these places of heroism, supporting troops in the local area, and not daring to disobey a word, they are all very arrogant lords.
It's just that the leader came to Gongsun Yi's chassis, facing nearly 20,000 well-equipped Xiao cavalry troops, plus the grain and grass are provided by Xiao cavalry army, no one dares to be a little disrespectful, and when he sees Gongsun Yi, he is polite and polite, and he is called a hussar general.
Gongsun Yi actually originally wanted to replace Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, not only because the text was issued by him, but more importantly, he had a golden seal and purple ribbon, plus a division of 20,000 tigers and wolves, even if this hussar general was just self-proclaimed, but no one dared to question Gongsun Yi's status and authority.
Gongsun Yi finally gave up the competition for the position of the leader of the alliance, and first recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, which is also helpless, who let the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and the protégés and former officials are all over the world, and the appeal is too great.
If Gongsun Yi becomes the leader of the alliance, this war against Taishi Dong Zhuo is likely to be defined as a rebellion, but it is Dong Zhuo who has made the Son of Heaven not subordinate, and only the Yuan family has the qualifications to resist the imperial court today.
Whether the Kwantung Army was the righteous army of the righteous army, whether it was a rebellion, or whether the Qing monarch was on the side of Kuang and supported Sheji, to a large extent, must rely on the influence of the Yuan family to prove.
Cao Cao was also very embarrassed to see Gongsun Yi again, but he didn't expect to say goodbye in a hurry that day, and when he saw him again today, this unpredictable virtuous brother actually turned into a hussar general, even if he was self-proclaimed, but with a golden seal and purple ribbon and a strong army, this hussar general deserved his name.
Although the identities are different, Gongsun Yi treats Cao Cao as respectful as always, and is still commensurate with the eldest brother, and Cao Cao is moved to get closer to Gongsun Yi.
One day, Gongsun was feasting in the mansion, and everyone came to the appointment to sit down as the guest of honor, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, and Cao Cao were all present.
"You have come from afar, and I will give you a drink!" Gongsun Yi's face was kind, and he raised his glass to invite everyone present to drink.
Everyone hugged their fists and thanked each other, raised their glasses and drank them all, the wine passed three rounds, and the dishes were five flavors, Qiao Mao then hugged his fists and said: "The hussar general is prosperous, the subordinates are neat, the soldiers are sharp, the garrison is sour, and the advance can be attacked and retreated, and it can be defended, I am afraid that there is no need to wait for the alliance leader to come, and it is completely possible to lead the troops to defeat the Dong thief and achieve all things." ”
Gongsun Yi smiled lightly and didn't say much, neither agreed nor objected, which made people unpredictable, in fact, if it wasn't for Gongsun Yi to take the lead in issuing a message, the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao in front of him would pretend to be a letter from the three princes of the capital, and send a letter to the princes of various towns to call for troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.
Gongsun Yi made the first move, but robbed him of his credit, so when Qiao Mao led the army to come, the grain and grass were supplied in sufficient quantities, and he was also very courteous to himself, which flattered Qiao Mao for a while, and he was more respectful to Gongsun Yi than his heart.
"Yuan Wei is really drunk, before the leader of the alliance arrives, he will lead the troops to fight first, isn't there a suspicion of overstepping his position, or is there someone who is unwilling to obey my brother from the beginning as the leader of the alliance, and wants to encourage the hussar general to replace him, in order to show his meritorious service?!" Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi stared at Qiao Mao and sneered.
Gongsun Yi listened silently, just raised a glass and looked at Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi is Yuan Shao's brother, diligent and thoughtful, and elegant, but when Qiao Mao admired Gongsun Yi, Yuan Yi disdained and reprimanded, in Yuan Yi's view, Gongsun Yi was arrogant and domineering with his military strength, and he was not a good type.
"Yuan Boye, you are spewing blood, this official just hopes to take the lead and give Dong Jun a dismount to boost morale, presumably in Luoyang City, someone will inevitably respond to us, and when the alliance is met, Dong Jun will inevitably be heartbroken, and naturally a battle can be decided!" Qiao Mao looked directly at Yuan Yi and sneered angrily.
"Don't be impatient, why bother to hurt the harmony because of some trivial things, whether you want to lead the army to conquer, I believe that the hussar general and the alliance leader can only discuss, we just need to garrison the troops."
Chen Liutai, who was sitting on the side, guarded Zhang Miao, seeing that the two of them were tense, and although the hussar general looked indifferently, he must have been displeased, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Gongsun Yi suddenly said and chuckled: "What Zhang Taishou said is very true, we just need to wait here, as for whether to lead the army to attack in order to deter the Dong army, the general will first need to discuss with the alliance leader Yuan Benchu, as for whether it is feasible, I will tell you as soon as possible, and I hope that everyone can help each other at that time." ”
Gongsun Yi chuckled and spoke, but his eyes kept staring at Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao's eyes looked at his nose and his nose and his heart, I don't know if it was because of the persuasion just now, offended the hussar general, and offending the hussar general in the territory of the Xiao cavalry army is tantamount to looking for death, but Zhang Miao meditated hard, and still didn't understand where he offended Gongsun Yi.
In fact, Gongsun Yi was not displeased in his heart, but he was more concerned about Zhang Miao, when Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou in the future and conquered Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, who had been friends with Cao Cao since childhood, listened to Chen Gong's advice, rebelled against Cao Cao, and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou.
It's just that although Gongsun Yi knows all this, he won't explain it to Cao Cao that it's not that Gongsun Yi and Cao Cao don't have a good relationship, but in the current situation, if he says like this, it is very likely to tear his face with Cao Cao, which is not what Gongsun Yi wants to see.
"We will obey the orders of the alliance leader and the hussar general." As soon as Gongsun Yi's voice fell, everyone hurriedly saluted to make their stand.
"I've been bothering the hussar general for a long time, so I'll retire first." Yuan Yi didn't want to stay for a long time, but because of Gongsun Yi's arrogance, he could only sit quietly, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, he got up and planned to retire.
"Don't worry, Ben will have a few words to say, can Yuan Taishou give face?" Gongsun Yi looked at Yuan Yi and said with a chuckle.
"Don't dare." Yuan Yu bowed and clasped his fists, knelt on the futon and stood up to listen.
"You are all guests from afar, this general has no choice but to do the friendship of the landlord, but the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and please control your subordinates and generals, so as not to cut off the heads of our executioners."
"What does the hussar general mean?" Yuan Yi asked coldly, because when Gongsun Yi said these words, he always looked at him with a chuckle.
"The general forgot to say, Yuan Taishou's subordinates dared to rob the people's daughters and kill the people of Tuntian, I have ordered them to be beheaded more than 200 soldiers, all of them in the vegetable market, and the heads will be sent to your army garrison later, out of warning, your food supply will be halved, and I ask Yuan Taishou to forgive me."
"Gongsun Yi, you dare to do this!"
Yuan got up angrily and looked at Gongsun Yi angrily, thinking that he was the brother of Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, and he was so humiliated by Gongsun Yi, if he entered the armor and was beheaded, the grain and grass were halved, and as the commander, he ignored it, I am afraid that the army will be discouraged, and no one will continue to follow.
Even if it is clear that Gongsun Yi is using him to establish power, but Yuan Yi is helpless at all, if he leads the army and fights the Xiao cavalry, I am afraid that he has not yet come out of the camp, and has been surrounded by the army of tigers and wolves, and the five thousand men and horses will not be able to set off much wind and waves.
"By the way, the general has already issued an order, and if you encounter your armor soldiers burning, killing and looting, you don't need to report it, all the local traders are not allowed to trade with your department, and your soldiers and horses are not allowed to leave the military tent for ten miles, otherwise the blame will be ruthless!"
Gongsun Yi's tone suddenly changed, and the powerful momentum shocked everyone present for a while, thinking that although Gongsun Yi was in a high position and held heavy troops, he was just a teenager, who had ever thought that the cold aura emitted by a few words made people feel cold down his spine for a while.
Gongsun Yi really intends to use Yuan Yi to establish his authority, not only because Yuan Yi is a prince all the way, but more importantly, he is Yuan Shao's brother, so as to knock the Yuan family and let all the princes understand whose territory is in Suozao County.
Besides, he will inevitably break with Yuan Shao in the future, and if he wants to control the land of Hebei, Yuan Shao is the biggest enemy, and now he naturally has no reason to be friendly with Yuan Shao, and with Yuan Shao's personality, he will not remember Gongsun Yi's feelings.
Although the alliance is formed, but all the princes have their own plans, not monolithic, nearly 100,000 troops come here, there will inevitably be chaos and looting, with 200 heads as a deterrent, presumably these princes' subordinates will be much more stable.
These days, Gongsun Yi not only personally trained the soldiers, but also inspected the city wall that was being strengthened and increased every day, at this time it was not Dong Zhuo who was on guard, but the Kwantung Army that formed the alliance, and whether the Kwantung Army that formed the alliance would not want to make progress day and night as in history, we had to wait and see.
