Wen Chou explained a few words to the two of them, telling them not to harass the households after they arrived in the county; Second, don't stop practicing; The weather is cold and cold, and some of the strokes are newly recruited, and the combat power needs to be further improved, so that the soldiers should be cherished and the excellent momentum of the army can be brought into play, so that they can be further recognized by the people of Yingchuan; Fourth, we need to be vigilant at all times in case of emergency.

The two of them made their own promises.

Wen Chou personally sent the two of them out of the camp, and saw the two of them take their headquarters and go to the north and south.

Han Meng and Lu Liang traveled far away, Wen Chou was about to return to the camp, and he saw that a number of horses galloped, originally on the official road, near the outskirts of the camp, turned off the road, passed through the fields of miscellaneous trees, and went straight to the camp, and some soldiers patrolling outside the camp stepped forward to stop, and replied a few words, and the number of horsemen stayed in place, and the chief who led the patrol rushed to the camp to report: "General, those horses claimed to be from the sour dates, saying that there was an urgent letter to send to the general." ”

The letter was written by Zhang Miao, when Wen Chou went to Yingchuan before, he had passed through the sour jujube here, and stayed in the sour jujube for a day or two, and also had a more pleasant transaction with Zhang Miao, which made him win Zhang Miao's favor, so that after he came to Yingchuan, he had many letters with Zhang Miao. It can be said that Wen Chou and Zhang Miao have formed an alliance to a certain extent, although the alliance between them is not very strong, far from being strong with the current alliance between Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, which is where Wen Chou needs to make persistent efforts.

The knights who delivered the letter were the doormen of the Zhang family, who came all the way to deliver the letters, day and night, tired and cold, snotty, Wen Chou ordered someone to take them down and warm some hot soup and food. Make it edible.

Wen Chou returned to the tent and read the letter carefully. When Wen Chou stayed in the sour jujube, the forces of the sour jujube alliance had not yet fully arrived at it, and after these days, Wen Chou learned from Zhang Miao's letter that the trend of sour jujube had a new change.

He wrote: "At the time I write this letter. Most of the troops from all walks of life have already arrived, only Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe has been hindered by the Yellow Turban remnants and has not yet arrived. At present, the Zhulu army and horses of the sour jujube include Liu Dai of Yanzhou Thorn History, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Xing Po General Bao Xin, as well as his younger brother Zhang Chao and his friend Cao Cao and other departments, all tens of thousands, more than 100,000 troops and horses, banners and roads, camps for 100 miles, and the momentum is huge. ”

There were tens of thousands of people on each side. Including Bao Xin, he also brought more than 20,000 people, only Cao Cao had the least soldiers and horses, only 7,000 people. This was unexpected by Wen Chou, but they were members of the alliance with Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao had no reason to deceive himself.

Zhang Miao wrote below: "The herdsmen guarded the sour jujube of the conference, set up an mandala, and were about to swear an oath, but the princes resigned. Don't dare to board, and you don't want to be the person of the main alliance. Then I pushed my master book. My main book, the martyr, is the famous Zang Ziyuan, who does not shirk, ascends to the altar of the main alliance, and makes an oath. The words are generous, and those who hear his words are all excited, and I am also very excited. ”

This Zang Ziyuan, Wen Chou is still quite respected. Because in the history known to his later generations, Zang Hong is still a figure recognized by the public.

When Shi Zai Zang Hong was fifteen years old, he was worshiped as a boy because of his father's merits, and he was famous in Taixue. Zang Hong is burly and exceptionally good, and when he was in his 20s, he was elected as a filial piety and a lang, and was elected as the county magistrate along with Liu Xiang and Wang Lang.

In the last years of Zhongping, Zang Hong resigned and went home, and was hired as a meritorious Cao by Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling. At that time, it was Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor Liu Wei, Zang Hong had a premonition that the world was in turmoil, so he persuaded Zhang Chao: "Mingfu, your ancestors have been favored by the country for generations, and your brothers are in control of a large county. At present, Guangling County is relatively stable, and the county is very wealthy, if at least 20,000 people can be recruited by mobilization, so as to punish the national thieves and set an example for the people of the world, it will be the greatest righteousness!' Zhang Chao listened to him, and traveled west with Zang Hong to Chenliu to meet his brother Zhang Miao to discuss the matter of raising troops. The two hit it off, so there was a sour jujube alliance. Later, the Kwantung Coalition Army formed a trend of burning the plains, and if you explore its initiators, Zang Hong should be the earliest. It can be seen that Zang Hong's human energy is extraordinary, this is still not all of Zang Hong's energy, and he has also had commendable practices after that, but this is not something that Wen Chou can understand.

However, none of the many shepherds of the sour jujube are willing to ascend to the altar to be the "leader of the alliance", and they are still the ones who take the oath by the officials of a county, but what does it mean? According to the deliberations of Wen Chou and his staff members Tian Feng, Tian Chou, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others. Wen Chou finally understood this.

Because the status of all pastoral guards is equal, no one wants the other party to be the person who swears the main oath, if a shepherd comes to the main oath, then he is like the leader of the alliance of sour dates, but let a county official do it is different, just like the chairman of the United Nations in later generations, this position is never from the five permanent people, but mostly by small countries to choose, this is the same reason.

After writing the oath, Zhang Miao turned around in the letter, but he was dissatisfied, he wrote: "When the oath was written, all the shepherds were very excited, but after the oath, no one was willing to discuss sending troops. Bao Xin and I consulted with Zang Hong many times and asked him to come forward to organize a military meeting, although Zang Hong agreed, but he did not take action for a long time, and he was just a 'county official' Although he has a reputation, he has no real power. The coalition army is more than 100,000, raising volunteers to punish the riots, and the public has been united, but they are all suspicious and do not advance, wasting money and food. Only my dear friend Cao Cao is running to ask Dong for the army! I also heard that Han Jizhou supervised the grain in Ye, and promised to supply grain to Yuan Shao on the surface, but in fact, he used various excuses to reduce the deduction, making Yuan Shao's army insufficient food and difficult to attack, and it was impossible to order the sour jujube to make the sour jujube coalition army go first. Wow, the hero shouted, the Kanto responded, with this momentum, such as the joint forces to attack it, separate lanes and converge, will be in Luoxia, although Dong Zhuo is strong, a battle can be determined, but the armies stay, no one is advanced, sit back and watch the opportunity disappear. ”

Zhang Miao's remarks were so much that he blamed Jizhou Mu Han Fu and Wen Chou in the name of Han Fu. It is also Wen Chou, as the representative of Han Fu's force, and he also has no intention of entering Dong Zhuo, but after coming to Yingchuan, he began to woo the people of Yingchuan, and expand his troops, with a feeling of developing his own power, for Zhang Miao's complaints, Wen Chou can only laugh at it, he is not Han Fu, so naturally he can't affect Han Fu's decision.
