In the next few days, as the princes of Dongzhou arrived in Yongding City one after another, the princes of the Eighteenth Route gathered together, the scene was extremely grand, there were nearly two million soldiers, and the number of Taiping thieves was even higher.

Among them, Bei Minghao led an army of 200,000, the king of Eastern Qin led 200,000, Liu Bei 150,000, Liu Yu 150,000, Sun Quan 120,000, Xiong Xin 120,000, Qian Sun also had an army of nearly 100,000, Jiangling nearly 100,000, Meng Bo nearly 100,000...

And Zhang Jiao is even more known as having 5 million soldiers, and his momentum is extremely powerful, but he doesn't know how many people can fight.

The two sides confronted each other on the Luohe Plain, dense, with a murderous atmosphere, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Although the vast majority of people are just ordinary people who have been coerced, it is still terrifying and inexplicable, and everyone is glad that they have joined the alliance, otherwise their own forces can only be drowned in such a huge torrent, without even a ripple.

At this time, the princes and kings of the middle were invited by Bei Minghao to gather in a big tent, their faces were solemn, all of them were dull, and it was rare to see the five hundred and five Taiping thieves who did not change color, and the same was true for Bei Minghao.

Seeing that everyone was in a dull atmosphere, Bei Minghao began to give Xiong Xin, Qian Sun, and Jiangling a look, and the three of them were also quite perceptive people, otherwise they would not have achieved their current position and immediately started to act.

"King Yanhuang, now that the Taiping thief army is strong, in order to avoid the Taiping thief army from breaking through, we must hold together and act in unison, so we can survive in this huge torrent, so in order to avoid changing and fighting separately, we must select one person as the leader of the Thief Extermination Alliance, and make unified scheduling, so that we can work together to overcome the southern difficulties..."

Qian Sun immediately said aloud, and the words already meant something, and advised everyone to nominate an alliance leader, and the alliance leader would unify the deployment and agree to implement the strategy.

"I Yuzhou agrees..."

"I Sizhou agrees..."

"River State also agrees..."

…….

"Liuzhou also agreed..."

When everyone heard this, they all agreed.

"Then who will be the leader of the alliance?" At this time, Suzhou Liu Yu asked loudly.

"This, otherwise, each of the eighteen of us will write a note, and write the name of the person who thinks they are qualified to be the leader of this alliance on the note, and in the end, whoever gets the most support will be the leader of the alliance, how about it?"

Bei Minghao stood up and spoke at the right time, expressing his sense of existence, and at the same time proposed an extremely effective method, and everyone agreed.

Then everyone wrote down the people in their hearts on a piece of paper, gathered together, and began to check under the supervision of everyone.

"King Meng Bo of Hezhou recommended King Yanhuang as the leader of the alliance..."

"Sun Quan, the lord of Zhenzhou, elected King Yanhuang as the leader of the alliance..."

"Li Xian, the king of Linzhou, elected Li Shimin, the king of Eastern Qin, as the leader of the alliance..."

"Liu Bei, the king of Zhaolie, recommended Li Shimin, the king of Eastern Qin, as the leader of the alliance..."

……

Until the end, Bei Minghao got eight votes, Li Shimin got seven votes, and Li Shimin voted for Liu Bei, Bei Minghao voted for Sun Quan, and now only Liu Yu, the lord of Suzhou, is left, and everyone's eyes are focused on the last note.

At this moment, Liu Yu was helpless, because it originally seemed that his sworn enemy Liu Bei should choose to support Bei Minghao, so in order to avoid a head-on conflict with him, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

He voted for Li Shimin, firstly, because he was good friends with Li Shimin, and secondly, he was afraid that Beiminghao would become bigger because of this, and his fear of Birmingham was much higher than that of Li Shimin.

"Liu Yu, the lord of Suzhou, recommended Li Shimin, the king of Eastern Qin, as the leader of the alliance..."

As the shouter shouted loudly, Bei Minghao's face began to become gloomy, and on the other hand, Li Shimin's originally nervous face began to ease, it seems that he has befriended a lot of princes recently.

At this moment, everyone fell into a dilemma again, staring at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Ahem, cough, since the two kings have the same number of votes, it means that everyone is looking forward to it, Fan has a plan, and the two kings are the main and deputy leaders of the alliance respectively, so that everyone doesn't need to bother so much..."

At this time, Fan Zeng, who was standing behind Ambition, slowly stood up and said to everyone.

"The leader and deputy alliance leader?" When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned, and began to groan, and after thinking about it, everyone felt reasonable.

"Then I don't know who is the leader of the alliance and who is the deputy leader of the alliance?" Sun Quan stood up and said.

"This—" Everyone felt helpless again, and fell into silence for a while.

"Ahem, Li Mou is not talented, this alliance was initiated by Brother Beiming, and Li is inferior in terms of qualifications, so I am willing to be driven by Brother Beiming and be willing to be a deputy, so don't be so distressed..."

Suddenly, Li Shimin stood up, said with a loud smile, quite sincerely, and took the initiative to give way to Bei Minghao, saying that he was willing to be his deputy.

If I really care about face, then I can only be humble to you, and when the time comes, you will go down the ladder and sit firmly in the position of the leader of the alliance, if you don't really covet the position of the leader of the alliance, how can you make friends with other princes in advance, hum, since this is the case, then I really don't want this face.

When Bei Minghao heard that Li Shimin was humbled to him, a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was extremely cold.

"This, since Brother Li attaches so much importance to the next, then it will be difficult for him to be the leader of this alliance, I hope that in the future war, Brother Li will mention more, so that he can destroy this Taiping thief army as soon as possible, and return Dongzhou to a peaceful and prosperous era..."

After speaking, the corners of his mouth sneered, and he looked at Li Shimin with a smile, but Li Shimin opened his mouth slightly at the moment, in disbelief for a while.

Bei Minghao accepted it without prevarication, he originally planned to accept it when Bei Minghao humbly gave him in, but Bei Minghao didn't give in at all, and now his belly manuscript was useless, as if it was a heavy punch on the cotton, which was quite uncomfortable, and a wave of anger and killing intent permeated the air.

However, Li Shimin quickly concealed the killing intent and anger in his heart, and said with a pleasant smile: "Li dares to disobey his fate? A chill flashed in my colleague's eyes.

After that, everyone began to discuss some specific strategies, and Bei Minghao began to give orders, appointing Sun Quan as the logistics force, in charge of the alliance's grain and grass, Liu Yu and Liu Bei as the vanguard troops, and sending the two to take the army to the pass first.

After that, everyone dispersed, and only Bei Minghao and his subordinate generals were left in the tent.

"Zizhen, Wenhe, what should our army do next, since I am the leader of the alliance, I must lead everyone to fight an exciting battle, otherwise it will not hit the morale of the alliance?"

Bei Minghao had a rare hint of melancholy at this time, after all, there were many Taiping thieves, and the alliance army could be crushed by just relying on the number of people, so it was not okay to be cautious.

"Lord, you don't need to worry so much, although the Taiping thieves are numerous, but the vast majority of them are ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness, as the so-called ants can bite an elephant to death, so there is no need to worry too much, but the biggest problem now is to fight a big victory to boost the morale of the alliance..."

Jing Xiang said with a faint smile, as if he didn't care, or that Zhizhu was in his hands and confident.

"Oh, I don't know what to do?" As soon as Bei Minghao saw that Jing Xiang was so confident, and so was Jia Xu, he knew that the two of them were in their chests, and hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu and Jingxiang glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and began to take out a pen and paper to write.

Soon, Jing Xiang and the others finished writing, picked it up and took a look, they were drawn from the bottom of the kettle, and the kettle was broken.

As soon as Bei Minghao saw it, he looked at the two of them, while Cui Hao and Guo Chongtao looked at the notes of the two of them, and they thought about it.

"My lord, I think that our army can send a force to enter the army, and burn the grain and grass in Qingxian on the border of Yongzhou in one fell swoop, and then the enemy's morale will inevitably be disrupted, and our army will take advantage of the situation to pursue, and it will definitely be able to win a big victory, reap fruitful results, and improve the morale of the alliance in one fell swoop..."

"What if the enemy is prepared?" Bei Minghao asked suspiciously.

"Therefore, our army still has to put on the appearance of a decisive battle to attract the attention of the Taiping thief army, so that they can assist in the secret surprise attack to burn the enemy's grain and grass in one fell swoop, and by the time they know, it will already be too late..."

Bei Minghao nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time felt that the feasibility of this strategy was very high, and at the same time looked at Jing Xiang.

"My lord, Xiang thinks that the troops of our alliance are all well-trained, and the states basically have generals who can be used, so our army can adopt the strategy of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and cut off the back road of our soldiers in one fell swoop, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers will definitely increase countless times, and the combat effectiveness will also increase sharply, and the Taiping thief army will be defeated in one fell swoop..."

When Bei Minghao heard Jing Xiang's plan, he immediately gasped, this plan was extremely dangerous, and it was a strategy for the sword to go sideways, either life or death, and it was also a strange plan to end the battle quickly.

For a while, Bei Minghao fell into deep thought, and it was difficult to make a decision.
