Chapter 991: Arriving at the Sour Jujube
Ten days later, Shang Ji and Lu Bu jointly stepped into the territory of Chenliu, and Cao Ren, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately led the crowd to greet him. Another day passed, and everyone came to their temporary destination, sour dates.
Shang Ji and Lu Bu were already the last princes to arrive, and Sun Jian, who was far away in Changsha, arrived at sour dates at sunset yesterday.
"Hahaha, Ning Hou and General Lu, you two have finally arrived. In this way, the world's great prosperity kings and teachers gather here, and it is easy to destroy Dong Thief! ”
As the master (the sour jujube is in the territory of Chenliu), Cao Cao greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Meng De of Labor welcomes me personally, and I am honored to do it below!"
Shang Ji and Lu Bu dismounted and greeted each other with a smile.
And behind Cao Cao, no matter what the relationship was, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and other princes came out to greet them, and the scene was extremely harmonious for a while.
"The prestige of Ning Hou and General Lu is known to the world, and with the help of the two, Kuang Fu Han is just around the corner!"
"General Lu is brave and invincible, and it is easy to defeat Dong Thief!"
"Hahaha, the gods under Ning Hou are like clouds, with Ning Hou's help, why worry about the restlessness of the world?"
……………………
Everyone carries the sedan chair, anyway, they don't want money to tout two sentences, and all kinds of sycophants come up one after another.
After being polite at the gate of the camp for half an hour, he walked into the tent of the allied commander.
Although the atmosphere was harmonious, and everyone was like brothers, in fact, according to the situation controlled by Shangji, the relationship between the princes was complicated, and it was by no means clear in a few words.
First of all, the difference in strength between the princes of the Nineteenth Route is very large.
Shang Ji, Lu Bu, Han Fu, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are considered to be the first gear, Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian are considered to be the second gear, and the rest can be roughly classified as the third gear.
The comprehensive strength of the princes' camp is the strongest, and if the princes are pulled out for a decisive battle alone, the comprehensive combat power of the Shang army should be not much different from that of all the princes of the third tier.
However, in the battle against Dong, Shang Ji dispatched the least number of troops, and if it is calculated purely according to the comprehensive combat strength of the dispatched army, Shang Ji is also second to Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao, and is roughly at the same level as Sun Jian and Liu Bei.
The gap in strength brings about the inequality of the right to speak, and the most important right to speak is naturally Yuan Shao, which is not comparable to others. It's only been a few years since Shang Ji came to Beacon? Yuan Shao has been in the power center of the Han Empire for forty or fifty years, and he has been a top second generation since he was a child, and he is also an officialdom leader when he grows up.
To put it bluntly, all the princes present are inextricably linked to him, and this influence is far from being comparable to that of Shang Ji.
Over the years, Shang Ji has been fighting in the east and west, and he can be regarded as making a great reputation, but others praise you on the surface, saying that you are a god general at that time, and praise you to the sky, but in their hearts they may scold you for being a rough and reckless man!
If Shang Ji can lead more troops, such as bringing three million elite troops to participate in the battle against Dong, it is estimated that he can still have a second voice. dm
It's a pity that Shang Ji only brought a mere 300,000 troops, which invisibly reduced his influence, and his right to speak was greatly reduced, even less than Cao Cao.
Although Cao Cao did not publish a document to discuss Dong Wei as in the romance, as the host of the alliance, with the help of geographical advantages, he can be regarded as a good limelight, and his right to speak is second only to Yuan Shao.
Lu Bu's situation is somewhat similar to Shang Ji, it is a weakened version of Shang Ji, and his right to speak is not high.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have not officially broken up, and the two still need to maintain the character of brother and brother Gong in front of the outside world, and the light of Yuan Shu's younger brother is all blocked by Yuan Shao.
As for Liu Bei, Sun Jian and the like, the future overlord obviously needs time to develop. According to Shang Ji's intelligence, Liu Bei secretly allied himself with Cao Cao, while Sun Jian allied with Yuan Shu. said that it was an alliance, but in fact, this is a more euphemistic statement, in fact, it is to be a little brother.
As for the rest of Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Qiao Mao and the like, there is nothing to say, and they basically appear in the form of vassals and younger brothers.
The relationship between the various princes is even horizontal and vertical, you have me and I have you, the relationship is complicated, but Shang Ji has become a clear stream among the princes, except for the slightly better relationship with Lu Bu and Liu Bei, many princes don't even know each other.
At this time, the sour jujube has turned into a super huge barracks, where tens of millions of troops gather, and the range of hundreds of kilometers is full of large and small barracks.
This is only a part of the coalition army, the princes of the Nineteenth Road, the largest number of troops in terms of troops alone is Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu is only nominally too guarded, but can control Runan County and most of Nanyang County, human resources are more abundant than Shang Ji after the occupation of Chenzhou, and it is easy to mobilize nine million troops to fight against Dong.
followed by Han Fu and Lu Bu, Han Fu dispatched 8 million troops, and although the total strength of Bingzhou was not much, because of the most extensive transfer with Dong Zhuo's forces, he almost fought with all his strength, so 7 million Bingzhou troops participated in the battle against Dong.
The rest of the troops are more or less, in addition to Shang Ji, Zhang Chao, who sent the least troops, also dispatched 1.7 million troops, and the total strength of the coalition army is as high as more than 70 million!
With so many troops, of course, it is impossible for them all to run a small sour date. In that case, the coalition will collapse without a fight!
The battle for Dong has gotten rid of the original one-on-one battle mode, but a kind of super-large battlefield with a battlefield stretching for tens of thousands of miles. The northernmost point of this war is the junction of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and the southernmost point is the junction of Yingchuan County and Sili in Yuzhou. Hundreds of millions of troops on both sides were deployed along the battle line and confronted each other.
Of course, this kind of confrontation is mainly based on containment, and except for a few areas, the intensity of the fighting is not high.
The victory or defeat of the battle also depends on the princes' armies gathered in the sour jujube region, and these armies are the essence and main force of the coalition army.
Long before Shang Ji arrived, a large number of Thousand Illusions and Shadow Clothes Secret Weapons had been secretly lurking in the Sujube region to reconnoiter the current situation of the coalition forces.
According to the report sent back by Qianhuan, the main army of nearly 10 million in the coalition army is at least the fifth order, and they are basically special troops, about two-fifths of them are sixth-order troops, and the number of seventh-order armies with higher strength is not clear.
At present, in the sour jujube, that is the real first-class generals are not as good as dogs, super-first-class generals are all over the ground, the top generals dare not tremble, the number of high generals is countless, and thousands of illusions do not dare to be presumptuous.
As the host, Cao Cao quickly arranged the 300,000 troops brought by Shang Ji properly. This also reflects Boss Cao's ability on the side, taking care of tens of millions of troops belonging to nineteen forces, as well as a large number of aliens, this is not ordinarily difficult!
Cao Cao was able to arrange it properly, and there were no complaints in all aspects, which shows his ability.
However, what made Shang Ji feel a pain in the egg was that nearly 10 million troops gathered sour dates, and the first thing the major princes did was to eat!
