Xue Rengui said: "I know that Brother Meng De stabbed Dong alone, he must have been ordered by the Holy Lord today, although he failed, I believe that Brother Meng De should still have the Holy Order?" ”

Cao Cao was very puzzled and said: "This matter is Cao Cao's own will, not 。。。。。。 Cao Cao seemed to have figured out something again, and continued: "Yes, that's right, the minister Cao Cao is in the name of today's saint, entered the Dong Mansion alone, and stabbed Dong thief, although the heat was not successful, but Cao Cao is willing to continue to recruit troops and buy horses, and confront Dong Zhuo, in order to repay the kindness of the saint." ”

Xue Rengui said: "I, Xue Rengui, believed by the first emperor, awarded the whip of the king, the upper beat the unconscious, the lower beat the traitorous ministers, now Dong thieves chaotic Beijing, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, what he did is really outrageous, I Xue Rengui should implement the rights given by the first emperor, now, Brother Meng De is under the emperor's order, and I am in the heavens to rebel, you and I should call on the heroes of the world to jointly ask for Dong, the above to repay the grace of heaven, and the people of Li under the people. ”

Cao Cao said thoughtfully: "It should be so, our two brothers will jointly invite all the princes to crusade against Dong Thief!" ”

Xue Rengui said: "Just wait for Brother Meng De's words, I am already ready to invite all the princes to meet Luoyang." ”

Cao Cao said: "Benevolence and virtuous brother Gao Yi! ”、

Xue Rengui said: "Brother Meng De, go!" We'll sign it first, and then I'll send someone to deliver the letter. ”

Cao Cao said, "Okay! ”

At that time, Yuan Shao, who was the Taishou of Bohai, took the lead in receiving the edict from Cao Cao and Xue Rengui, so he summoned his subordinates and generals to lead an army of 30,000 and left Bohai to form an alliance with Xue Rengui and Cao Cao.

Xue Rengui and Cao Opera's inscriptions reached the counties. Zhu Wen said: "The general of the Han Hussars, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; **The Imperial Palace, which mutilates living beings; Cruelty, inhumanity, and sin! Now the Son of Heaven has been edicted, gathered volunteers, and vowed to sweep the world and kill the murderers. Wangxing uprising, a total of public indignation; Support the royal family and save the people. When the text arrives, it can be executed quickly! “

Xue Rengui and Cao Cao sent a letter to leave, and the princes of all feudal towns responded with troops: The first town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling. The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao. The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan. The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. The thirteenth town, the former Qingzhou Thorn History, the crowned sweeping general Luo Cheng. The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian. The seventeenth town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao. The eighteenth town is Xue Rengui's Xue family army, Xue Rengui personally led the elite 5,000 soldiers and horses, and allocated 23,000 men and horses from the reserve force. The military horses of all roads vary from number to number, there are 30,000 people, there are 120,000 people, and each leader is a civil official and military general, and he comes to Luoyang.

Ma Teng seemed to support Dong Zhuo, so he did not come to participate in the coalition.

Let's say that Beiping is too guarded by Gongsun and led 15,000 elite soldiers, passing through Dezhou Plains County. As he was walking, he saw a yellow flag in the mulberry bush from a distance, and several cavalrymen came to greet him.

He took a closer look and it turned out to be Liu Bei. Gongsun Chan asked him, "Why is Brother Xian here?" “

Xuande said: "In the past, my brother protected me as the county commander of Pingyuan County, but now I heard that the army has passed here and will come to wait, so I asked my brother to enter the city and rest his horse." ”

Gongsun Chan pointed at Guan Yu and Xu Chu and asked, "Who is this?" “

Xuande said: "This is Guan Yu and Xu Chu, my sworn brothers." ”

Gongsun Chan said, "Is it with you to defeat the Yellow Turban Army?" “

Xuande said: "It's all the power of these two people. ”、

Gongsun Chan said: "What position are the two of you in now? ”

Liu Bei replied: "Guan Yu is a horse archer, and Xu Chu is a step archer." ”

Gongsun Chan sighed and said, "This can be said to be a buried hero!" Now Dong Zhuo is in turmoil, and all the princes of the world go to kill him. You can give up this petty official, and work together to crusade against Dong Thief and support the Han family, how about it? “

Xuande said, "I am willing to go." ”

Xu Chu said: "If I had been allowed to kill this thief at that time, there would be no today. ”

Guan Yu said: "Things have come to this point, let's clean up immediately." Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu came with more than a dozen cavalry and Gongsun, and Cao Cao followed them.

All the princes also arrived one after another, and each set up camp and went down to the village, connecting two hundred miles. Xue Rengui and Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and horses, and the princes were assembled to discuss the strategy of attack. Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Now to pursue great righteousness, we must establish an alliance leader; The crowd listened to the restraint and marched into the army. ”

Cao Cao said: "Hussar General Xue Rengui, entrusted by the first emperor, wears a whip to beat the king, levies the Yellow Turban, sweeps Yu Kou, and has outstanding military achievements, I recommend the hussar general Xue Rengui!" ”

Luo Cheng said: "I also agree! ”

Sun Jian and others also agreed, saying: "I have respected heroes all my life, and I also think that hussar generals can be regarded as names."

Wang Kuang said: "Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, the old officials of the family, and the descendants of the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, can be the leader of the alliance!" ”

After the general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, although he has always been unconvinced by Yuan Shao, but also wants to fight for his Yuan family, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu is also a descendant of the Yuan family, so he and Yuan Shu together to express their support for Yuan Shao, and some of the Yuan family's former officials said: "We think that Yuan Benchu can be the leader of the alliance." ”

The number of people supporting the two sides is about the same, and they have been holding each other for a while, and the dispute has not been concluded for a long time.

At this time, Xue Rengui said: "How can you be in Xiade? How can I lead you as the leader of the alliance, I think it is more appropriate to be the first brother! ”、

In fact, Xue Rengui really didn't have much interest in this alliance leader, after all, he knew that in the end, the so-called princes of the eighteen towns would collapse because of the continuous infighting.

Yuan Shao also pretended to say: "I think that I am not as good as a hussar general, or a hussar general with outstanding military achievements is more suitable!" ”

Cao Cao jumped out at this time and said a compromise method, saying, "Why don't we all have the other two as alliance leaders?" ”

The princes had no choice but to say, "That's the best! ”

The next day, the three layers of the platform were built, and all the places were lined with five-party flags and flags, and white yellow iron was built on them, and the soldiers were sealed, and Xue Rengui and Yuan Shao were invited to the altar.

Xue Rengui and Yuan Shao tidied up their clothes and swords, went up generously, burned incense and bowed twice. He swore an oath: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the dynasty is out of unity." The thief Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to wantonly hurt, harm the emperor, and torture and kill the people. Yuan Shao and others were afraid of the fall of the country, so they gathered volunteers and went to the national disaster together. All our allies, working together, and envoys, must not have two hearts. There was a breach of the covenant that cost him his life, and he could not bear offspring. Please the gods of heaven and earth, the ancestral gods, jointly supervise us! "After that, the princes shed their blood.

Everyone burst into tears through the impassioned emotions of Xue Rengui and Yuan Shao. The blood is over, go down the altar.

Everyone sat around Yuan Xue Rengui and Yuan Shao, and the two rows sat down according to the age of the title.

Cao Cao drank wine and toured several times, and said: "Now that the heavens have established the Lord, everyone obeys the dispatch and supports the country together, and do not care about the strength or weakness." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Although I am not talented, since you have promoted me and the hussar general as the leader of the alliance, we must be rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for guilt." The state has prescribed punishments, and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by it, and not violate it. “

Xue Rengui said: "Be like this! ”

Everyone says that only orders are heard. Yuan Shao said: "My younger brother Governor Yuan Shu should hand over the grain and grass to the battalions, and don't let there be any shortcomings." Now we need a pioneer to go straight to the Bishui Pass challenge. The rest are based on the risk and serve as a response. ”

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian came out and said: "I am willing to be a pioneer." ”

Luo Fei came out and wanted to ask for battle, but was stopped by Xue Rengui with his eyes, after all, he had to let the princes know Dong Zhuo's strength first, and his own people would be strong.

Xue Rengui and Yuan Shao said: "Wentai is brave and fierce, and he can take on this important task. “

Xue Rengui continued: "I can lead the troops under another subordinate to assist General Sun. ”
