"Xuande Gong, the Shang army is powerful, and the Shang Ji is brutal and obedient, he regards the Han court as nothing, and his self-reliance is obvious, and in the long run, I am afraid that my four hundred years of Yan Han will disappear. As a member of the Han family, Xuande Gong was deeply favored by the emperor, and was promoted by the emperor to the end of the micro-end, so that he had today's momentum. ”

Xuzhou City, in the city lord's mansion, the judge was emotional, pointing at Liu Bei's nose and shouting.

Zhang Fei, Zang Ba and other generals next to him had unkind faces, staring at the trial with murderous intent, but they were stopped by Zhuge Liang with his eyes.

Liu Bei's face was ashamed, he wanted to speak and stopped, stopped talking and wanted to speak, and finally sighed and covered his face with his sleeves.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang immediately got up and said to the judge: "Brother Zhengnan (the word Zhengnan), today's lord is in slightly ill health, and it is not suitable to discuss important matters of the military aircraft, why don't we discuss it another day?" ”

The judge also knew that he couldn't be persecuted too much, so he bowed and said: "With recklessness, please forgive Xuande Gong for any offense." However, I still have to say that no matter how Xuande Gong chooses, my lord has already decided to discuss the tyranny of Xingyishi. The trouble of business thieves is close at hand, Xuande Gong should not forget the cold lips and teeth! ”

After speaking, the judge leaned over and saluted again, and said, "Retire for the time being, and Xuande Gong take care of his body." ”

After the trial left, Zhang Fei immediately couldn't help it, and shouted: "Big brother, this guy is rude, let me tear him up!" ”

As he spoke, he summoned out the Zhangba Snake Spear, and wanted to chase the trial out of the door.

"Wing Dexiu should be rude."

Zhuge Liang snorted lightly, stopped Zhang Fei, and then bowed his hand to Liu Bei: "Lord, although the words of the trial are quite disrespectful, there are also three points of truth. Since Shang Ji dares to call the Duke of Zhenbei, his disobedience is already clear, and his power is great, even if Dong Zhuo is inferior at the beginning, if he continues to indulge, the consequences are unpredictable! ”

"What Yuan Shao said is good, isn't it because he was afraid that Shang Ji would annex Jizhou to win us over? Are we all fools? ”

Zang Ba next to him snorted coldly and said with some disdain.

"Having said that, but the lips are cold and the teeth are cold, Yuan Shao is defeated, isn't it us next?"

As soon as Jian Yong's words came out, the hall was suddenly silent.

That's right, everyone can understand Yuan Shao's situation, isn't it that he can't hold it under the pressure of Shang Ji, and he plans to fight for his life, and because he has no chance of winning, he desperately tries to win over the other princes.

Anyone can see this.

Can you see that it works? Yuan Shao is a yang conspiracy, anyway, if I don't fight, I'll die, so what's there to worry about? If these princes are willing to be annexed by Shangji, then there is nothing to say, but if they are unwilling, then they have to accompany Yuan Shao to fight hard!

No one believed that after the annexation of Jizhou, Shang Ji would stop expanding, and this matter was that Shang Ji personally ran the princes one by one with a loudspeaker, and this propaganda was useless.

After struggling for a while, Liu Bei coughed lightly, got up and said: "Be prepared to receive the great favor of the emperor, and at this time of national disaster, you don't dare to lag behind." The order will go down, prepare for battle, and after five days, swear to discuss! ”

"The last general obeys!"

After Liu Bei made the final decision, the generals immediately stopped arguing and said in unison.

Liu Bei was only one of the princes who was lobbied, in fact, Yuan Shao sent envoys to all the princes in line with the principle of casting a net in an all-round way and focusing on fishing, even Zhang Yan, who had been in a hostile state, did not let go.

And Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Diao Chan and other northern princes were the key targets of his lobbying.

The great battle in Chenzhou allowed the princes to appreciate the combat effectiveness of the Shang Ji army and greatly increased the sense of crisis of the princes, and everyone found that Shang Ji was no longer in the same rank as them, even Dong Zhuo, who was once in the sky, could not compare with it.

Fortunately for everyone, Shang Ji was too greedy and rashly set out to conquer the Wa Kingdom without unifying the Huaxia region, most of the main army was pinned down, and the rear was empty, giving the princes the courage to give it a go.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the princes to say whether they would have the courage to face the more than fifty elite battle legions in their heyday!

As Yuan Shao's lobbying team arrived at the base camps of the princes, the anti-Shang alliance gradually took shape, and this alliance included almost all the princes, including Diao Chan and Lu Bu, who had a good relationship with the Shang forces before.

Of course, the core members of the alliance are Yuan Shao, followed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Diao Chan, although Lu Bu is reluctant, but after being a prince for so long, he is no longer the second stunned person at the beginning, under the collective persuasion of his subordinates, he only hesitated for a while, and then joined the anti-business alliance and became an important core member of it.

Due to geographical constraints, although Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Sun Ce and others joined, they had no way to directly participate in the war, so they could only wave their flags and shout beside them.

The only prince who chose neutrality was Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie, whose sense of existence was extremely thin.

Shi Xie has already seen it now, no matter how the battle situation in the Central Plains changes, it is impossible for him to enter the Central Plains, since it is better to be a salted fish honestly, after the birth of the true dragon emperor, he will sacrifice the land of Jiaozhou, and it is no problem to fight for a wealth and prosperity!

By the way, by the way, Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, who also has a thin sense of existence, has withdrawn. He died of illness last year, and the only remaining territory after Liu Xuan's death was immediately annexed by Sun Ce and completely withdrew from the stage of history.

And Liu Xun, the remnant of Yuan Shu, was also defeated by Sun Ce, and went north alone to join Cao Cao, and at present, the entire territory of Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, and the trend of Eastern Wu in history has been initially formed.

Although the number of the anti-business alliance this time is far from the original Dong Alliance, the gold content of the princes today is much stronger than at that time. Now the princes are also the state pastors of one side at the most, and at that time, most of them were too guards, which was not a level at all.

The plan of the anti-merchant coalition was very simple, Liu Bei went north to Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu attacked Youzhou.

Since it is an alliance, the alliance also has problems inherent in the alliance, such as poor coordination, mutual distrust, and friendly forces that are difficult to move. In addition, although Cao Cao sent troops, he had to guard against Diao Chan repeatedly, so a considerable part of his troops remained in Luoyang, and the force against Shang Ji was only one-third of the total strength.

And Diao Chan has the danger of Hangu Pass, and the defensive pressure is small, but she also has to pay attention to the Qiang people, plus she is farther away, and there are not many troops that can really be dispatched.

In fact, the princes were not happy that Diao Chan sent too many troops, who didn't know that Diao Chan and Shang Ji had moved out of Luoyang City in an embarrassed manner? There are even a lot of peachy rumors between the two among the people.

Although many of them were deliberately spread by the princes in order to discredit the merchants and Diao Chan, the rumors spread and even the makers of the rumors could not help but start to believe them.

In addition, Cai Yong, the father of Cai Yan, the second person in the Diao Chan Army, is still staying in Xiangping, and Mrs. Fan, Diao Chan's former confidant, has also become the wife of Zhao Yun, the general of the Shang Army.

If it weren't for the fear that refusing to accept Diao Chan would cause Diao Chan to fully fall to the Shang Ji side, Yuan Shao and the others didn't even want her to join.
