The arrival of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao really made Wang Xu very happy. Of course, all the joy was pressed in my heart, and I was still very calm on the surface. As a commander-in-chief, how can he show his feelings in front of everyone? Smiling and encouraging the two of them, they were appointed as the front generals of the tent, and after the attendants left and right, they ordered the generals to return to their positions and set off in large armies.

And with the subsequent chat, Wang Xu finally understood the cause and effect of the incident, and his heart was quite shaken.

It turned out that Gao Shun and Xu Huang did not communicate with each other. When Wang Xu was arrested and everyone dispersed, they had already made a promise. Although Xu Huang had to go home to marry a wife and fulfill his parents' orders, when Wang Xu needed it, he would also go out of the mountains to follow.

Now Wang Xuxing is rebelling and recruiting heroes, which is the time when talents are needed. Gao Shun firmly believes that Xu Huang will definitely come, and will not forget the promise made back then. Therefore, I hoped to delay for three days until the end, and it was the only time I asked Wang Xu for so many years.

And Xu Huang did not live up to the friendship of the year, although he came in the end, but there was a reason for it.

After he returned home that year, he married Yun Ji and gave birth to a son, and finally fulfilled his parents' life. But he did not forget the kindness of Jì back then, and always firmly believed that Wang Xu would rise again one day. In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, he couldn't serve as loyally as Gao Shun, so he took the opportunity to be a county official in his hometown and made friends with heroes, hoping to find outstanding talents for Wang Xu as compensation.

It's a pity that I have made a lot of friends, but few are satisfied. Because he knew that Wang Xu had a very high vision, he was also extremely cautious in his selection. Until one time I went to Yanmen County on a business trip, I got acquainted with Zhang Liao, a young man who was also a county official.

At that time, although Zhang Liao was young, not yet 20 years old, he was already both civil and military, and he was slightly famous. After the two exchanged and talked, they cherished each other and became close friends since then. Later, as the relationship deepened, Xu Huang persuaded Zhang Liao. Let him wait with him for the right time. Follow Wang Xu's achievements.

Zhang Liao had already heard of Wang Xu's talent and fame, and he was persuaded by his friends to be a guarantor, so he also nodded and agreed. resigned from his official position, moved his family to Xu Huang's hometown, and waited for the opportunity that Xu Huang said. For this reason, he also refused the invitation of the late and state assassin Shi Ding Yuan.

And with the death of the emperor, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing. When the world was in turmoil, the two gradually felt that the time was ripe. After hearing that Wang Xu raised troops to fight against Dong, he did not hesitate, and immediately packed up his soft and moved south with his family.

It's a pity that there are white wave thieves raging in the south of Hedong County nowadays. The only way to the east was to take a detour and go to Shangdang County. Later, in order to avoid the bandits in Montenegro, he went south, bypassed Montenegro, and traveled eastward from Hanoi County in the south until Wei County, Jizhou, before he could cross the Yellow River with his family, passing through Yanzhou and Jingbei. Go south to Lingling.

But the world makes people. After coming to Lingling County, because there are many hilly mountains in Jingnan. The two were not familiar with the route, so they took the wrong road at the fork in the north of Quanling and went around to the southwest of Quanling. It wasn't until he arrived in Taoyang County and found the village to inquire that he hurriedly followed the path guided by the villagers and turned around and ran to Quanling.

This morning, I finally rushed to the south of Quanling, and I didn't have time to be happy, but I heard the people talking about Wang Xu leading the troops to the battle. In an instant, his face changed, and he couldn't take care of it, so he asked his family to take the money and go to the inn to settle down first. He and Zhang Liao were holding their own weapons and chasing after them quickly.

dragged his family and his mouth like this, traveled thousands of miles to the south, and had to avoid thieves on the way, which was hard to imagine. After hearing this, although the generals were not familiar with each other, they couldn't help but have a touch of respect, and their good impression of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao increased.

Wang Xu was even more moved, looking at Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, unable to speak for a long time. Thinking that the families of the two had not been able to settle down, even if they sent a herald, they hurried back to Quanling, so that Guo Jia must find the two families and settle them properly......

Wang Xu was really indescribably happy to add these two tiger generals to the army, and tried his best to help the two integrate and deepen the understanding between the generals on the way.

It's just that when I passed through Liu Biao's territory, I was delayed for some time. That Liu Biao seemed to be quite concerned, worried that he might take the opportunity to woo Dong and suddenly seize his city. But he didn't dare to stop Wang Xu's army, after all, Wang Xu was under the banner of courting Dong, and if he blocked it, he would inevitably be disgusted by the princes of the world. Not only will his prestige be discredited, but he will also be scolded and opposed by people all over the world.

As a result, he didn't plan to send troops, but he personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to the battle, and waited for Wang Xu's army to go north together.

In this regard, Wang Xu of course laughed it off, pretending not to know the mystery. Anyway, I didn't plan to fight Liu Biao at this time, what's the use of fighting for the gains and losses of one city and one place? Without the support of the people of the world, no matter how much territory there is, it is meaningless......

On the sixth day of the first month of 190 A.D., with the belated Wang Xu and Liu Biao, the heroes of the road gathered together to meet the sour dates. The princes who came at the appointment made Wang Xu very surprised, except for him, there were no more, no less, exactly eighteen roads. There are five more roads than the historical record, and it is slightly different from what is described in the romance.

The first town, the Marquis of Taoyang, the general of Zhengnan, and the governor of Jingnan Wang Xu. The second town, the later general, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. The third town, Jizhou Mu Hanfu. The fourth town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling. The fifth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The sixth town, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang. In the seventh town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The eighth town, Dongjun Taishou Bridge. The ninth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan. The tenth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian. The thirteenth town, Jihou, General Fenwu, and Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gongsun of Beiping. The fourteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The fifteenth town, Wucheng Hou, Zhonglang General, Wu County Taishou Sun Jian. The sixteenth town, Qi Xianghou, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao. The seventeenth town, Jingzhou Thorn History Liu Biao. The eighteenth town, the plain phase Liu Bei. The nineteenth town, the general Cao Cao.

In this regard, Wang Xu was also secretly funny, he couldn't imagine some changes in history, but he made up a coincidence. However, it is said that it is the princes, but several of them are nouveau riche.

Because of the change of history, Liu Bei made a plain phase in advance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prince. But the party was too guarded by Zhang Yang, who was originally a general under Ding Yuan. After Ding Yuan was killed by Dong Zhuo, he led his troops to flee back to Bingzhou, and raised troops to capture the Shangdang Taishou, who was already attached to Dong Zhuo, and then took the position of Taishou himself. Originally, he couldn't be recognized by the princes from all walks of life, but he was very smart and secretly attached himself to Yuan Shao, the son of the Yuan family, so it was difficult for everyone to say anything.

As for Gongsun Chan and Cao Cao, it is even funnier, Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu worked together to quell the rebellion. and guarded the frontier tribes. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he protected the imperial court and appointed him as the general of Fenwu and the marquis of Ji as a wooer. However, Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, and after fleeing back to Chenliu, he was also unofficial and unemployed, and he was promoted by Yuan Shao and others as the general of Fenwu in this incident.

So. The official positions of the two conflicted. But this kind of thing, everyone understands it in their hearts, and they don't show it on the surface. Even Cao Cao himself and Gongsun Zan were polite, and they were all treated as colleagues anyway. Gongsun Zhan is not good at talking about Dong Zhuo's appointment, and Cao Cao can't use an official position that has not been approved by the imperial court.

In the evening, when everyone had discussed the matter of going up to the altar tomorrow. Cao Cao even took the initiative to dedicate his supplies, slaughtered chickens and sheep, and set up banquets to entertain heroes from all sides. Wang Xu, as the person with the highest official position, was personally appointed by the first emperor, so he was also pushed by everyone to sit as the chief. Originally, he didn't want to be this up-and-coming bird, but he couldn't shirk it, and was put on the seat by Cao Cao, who was dedicated to uniting everyone.

But even so, at the banquet. Wang Xu is also very low-key. After toasting one by one, there was no more to say. Just smiled and watched everyone talk about it. At most, they have a good relationship with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao, whispering a few words of greetings and chatting about unrelated things. Occasionally, he dealt with other princes, but he definitely did not speak in public.

Fortunately, tomorrow morning they will go to the altar to form an alliance, and all the generals must go back to prepare, so this banquet will not last long, and after eating and drinking enough, they will disperse.

The next day, three o'clock......

On the plains outside the city of Sujuju, flags are everywhere, war drums are roaring, and the stretching tents are endless. The princes of all walks of life wore battle armor and led their cronies to gather under the altar of the alliance. The smoke and dust brought up by the sergeant's movement covered the sky and the sun, and the grand occasion was unprecedented! With such a huge momentum, even Wang Xu couldn't help but feel a touch of excitement.

With the roaring drums of war, the soldiers of each division were also in their positions. Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao's account under Cao Zanghong, because of his high reputation and knowledge, and many princes were promoted, so he finally accepted the trust and read the oath.

This Zang Hong is a native of Sheyang, Guangling, and he is also the son of Zang Min, Sun Jian's old superior, who was also begging for the Yellow Turban. At the age of fifteen, because of his father's outstanding achievements, he worshiped Tong Zilang and was famous for Taixue. Later, he was elected as a filial piety and served as a county magistrate. Because of dissatisfaction with the chaos of the current politics and the formation of parties and personal gains, the officials resigned and returned to their hometown in Guangling, so they were invited by Zhang Chao to be the merit of Cao Peng.

Originally, his father Zang Min also responded to the call this time, but unfortunately he is now the Taiyuan Taishou, next to the Black Mountain Range, threatened by the Black Mountain Bandits, and did not dare to leave with his troops.

Zang Hong was entrusted, but he did not shirk, but went to the altar and burned incense to worship. As if he didn't need to think about it at all, he opened his mouth and shouted generously: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control." The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. We were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”

After finishing speaking, Zang Hong didn't say a word, and immediately swung his knife to cut his palm, allowing the blood to drip onto the altar. The princes were infected by this atmosphere, and they also sobbed, and they climbed the altar one after another, and made an alliance with blood.

Wang Xu is not so fake, is it necessary to do this? The people present, except for Cao Cao and Sun Jian, who now have the heart to revitalize the Han dynasty and are determined to enter Luoyang, which is a good thing?

In history, they all shrank their heads and did not dare to fight over, and finally forced Cao Cao to fight to Xingyang alone, and was ambushed by Xu Rong and fled to Yangzhou. After composing a poem, he was completely disappointed with the Han Dynasty, which led to the explosion of ambition and embarked on the road of traitor, completing the transformation from a capable minister to a traitorous male. Although with Cao Cao's character, it was a matter of time before he embarked on this road in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, it has to be said that this group of princes with their own thoughts also played a role in fueling the troubles.

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still had to give face, and he also walked on the altar with a stern face, cut his palm, and swore a bloody oath. It's just that I scolded half dead in my heart, why is this painful? doesn't have that heart, just make a show, and cut the palm of his hand, making it look like something is going on.

After an impassioned oath, everyone quickly returned to reality. When the account was raised, he found that he had not yet established an alliance leader, and he didn't know how to sit down.

In an instant, the princes, who had just returned a handful of snot and tears, began to argue about it. Some say that Yuan Shao has outstanding prestige, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family should be the leader of the alliance. Some say that Wang Xu is a young hero, with brilliant achievements, and the Wang family has been the secretary of the dynasty for generations, and he should be the leader of the alliance.

Originally, there was also a royal family relative who was promoted to Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, but the voice was "very small", Tao Qian just said it, and was directly ignored by everyone. Although Liu Bei is an imperial relative, he is a distant relative who has been separated by many generations, and even the official position of Pingyuan Xiang is still held by Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Chan is not qualified, where can he Liu Bei speak! Besides, when it comes to blood, Liu Biao and the current orthodox emperor are much more amiable than Liu Bei, and he still quietly hid behind everyone and was silent and did not speak.

However, Liu Bei is not a simple character, he knows that he can't do anything, and he has repeatedly shirked. And seeing that everyone pulled back Wang Xu and Yuan Shao, they didn't say a word, nor did they say who they supported, and retreated to the back in silence.

There is another silent one, which is Cao Cao! He is dedicated to uniting everyone, and he doesn't want this kind of disagreement to happen, but Yuan Shao and Wang Xu, he doesn't want to offend, and he feels embarrassed when the two sides are arguing at the moment.

In fact, Wang Xu didn't want to be this bird, these princes didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, they didn't listen to the call much, what's the use of hanging a false name? not only offended Yuan Shao, but also took responsibility after failure, which is not necessary at all. As for the extermination of Dong Zhuo, it is impossible, not to mention that the heroes have their own calculations, it is difficult to achieve great things. Even if Dong Zhuo can be destroyed, it is impossible to destroy it, once the emperor is saved, the princes will inevitably rely on the army to fight for power. And Wang Xu's foundation is far away in Jingnan, separated from Sili by thousands of rivers and mountains, do you want power or death?

However, he was not in a hurry, and it was also beneficial to fight for it, and listened quietly for a long time, feeling that the time was almost right. Only then did he smile slightly, and did not express his position directly, but slowly walked towards Yuan Shao, who was smiling extremely reluctantly......
