Chapter 437: The Twenty-Three Princes Begging for the Wind
"It's not good to have no head, the bird can't fly without wings, the soldiers have no generals to collapse, and the alliance has no owner and is in chaos!
Everything is ready now, but before the east wind is about to rise, we must first nominate a leader of the alliance.
If there is no alliance leader to coordinate and unify the command, then our coalition army is just a scattered army fighting on its own, and the situation is very unfavorable! ”
When the mood of the crowd gradually stabilized, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, suddenly got up and hugged his fists towards everyone and said.
"Lord Bao is right, it's time to choose an alliance leader.
Liu Biao Liu Tingshi is a clan relative of the Han family, and under the rule of Jingzhou, the people are prosperous, the soldiers are strong, and the horses are strong, so it is reasonable that Liu Tingshi should be the leader of the alliance. ”
Sun Jian followed closely, his tone was sonorous, and he took the lead in proposing a candidate.
Hearing Sun Jian's words, Liu Biao's eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of surprise, but he was still sitting there without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sun Taishou's words are reasonable, but the contemptible people think that Cao Yilang can also serve as the leader of the alliance.
After all, the article was cited by Cao Yilang, and Cao Yilang has both civil and military skills, has always had a good reputation, and has a certain amount of experience in the united front, so he should be the most suitable candidate. ”
Bao Xin first nodded, and then proposed another candidate.
Cao Cao also looked immovable, obviously a person who could calm down.
"What the two of them said is not unreasonable, but if you want to say the most appropriate, it must be General Yuan Shaoyuan!
The fourth generation and third duke of the Yuan family, his reputation for benevolence and virtue are admired by all the people in the world.
In addition, General Yuan's martial arts are extraordinary, and his strategy is even more transcendent, in addition, General Yuan's uncle and his relatives were put in prison by that Feng Wuji.
No matter from which point of view, only General Yuan can inherit the position of the leader of the alliance to be the most convincing to the public! ”
As Zhang Miao spoke, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and others all echoed.
Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that he was indeed much weaker in reputation than Yuan Shao, so in the end, he could only report Yuan Shao's name out loud.
By this time, half of the princes had already agreed with Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and there was no suspense about the matter;
Yuan Shao agreed with a smile after a little resignation, and then left the original seat and strode onto the main seat facing the door.
Seeing this scene, the ten player representatives could only secretly cry out helplessly, Yuan Shao had already warned them before, they only had the right to listen, and they did not have the right to interject.
Therefore, knowing that Yuan Shao was much more straw than Cao Cao, he could only watch all this happen silently.
However, this is not history, not only are the enemies that Feng Wuji has to face are countless bigger and more powerful than Dong Zhuo at the beginning, but there are also players like them;
They weren't going to allow any more bloody incidents in the coalition to seize food and grass supplies.
"Fortunately, the Holy Order of the First Emperor ordered the local government to recruit troops on the spot, otherwise it would be very difficult to deal with Feng Wuji with only those city defenders.
And there is also the three million army left by the first emperor as the core, this time our rebel coalition army can be described as strong and strong, as long as we work together, Ding Ke will take Luoyang in one fell swoop and sweep Youzhou! ”
finally became the boss, and Yuan Shao made a generous statement.
No matter what kind of mentality everyone present, they all nodded in agreement, looking very agreeable.
At this time, Zhang Miao suddenly stood up solemnly and arched his hand towards Yuan Shao and said:
"Lord Yuan, the oath altar has been set up in the backyard, why don't we go to the oath here!"
Yuan Shao glanced at everyone in the hall, and seeing that no one had any objections, he immediately got up and said:
"Our alliance should work together, and this time we set up an altar oath to show heaven and earth our determination not to give up on the immortal traitor!
Ladies and gentlemen, please go to the oath with Yuan! ”
"Good!"
The backyard of the Lord's Mansion.
A three-zhang high circular altar stands in the center, on which is placed a long table with the heads of the five birds in horizontal columns;
Before the head was a huge incense burner, but there was not a single incense burnt in it.
In front of the incense burner, there was a small transparent bowl that was one palm high and three palms square, during which there was a clear liquor slowly rippling.
As Yuan Shao lit an incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner, and cut his index finger to drip blood into the bowl, the next 22 people followed suit.
During this period, everyone looked very solemn, and the whole ceremony was very solemn.
After everyone had finished burning incense and blood, their own ceremonial staff poured the blood wine in the bowl into the wine cup and distributed it to each prince.
Yuan Shaofu climbed the altar alone, stood in front of the offering table, held the wine cup with both hands and shouted:
"Where we are allied, we work together, so that the ministers, the head of the Yuan, will have no two ambitions.
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! ”
"Where we are allied, we work together, so that the ministers, the head of the Yuan, will have no two ambitions.
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! ”
The princes followed and swore loudly, and many of them were excited, and even the guards in the courtyard were flushed and their eyes were red, and they were full of excitement.
However, not everyone is like this, such as Dong Zhuo, his demeanor seems very lazy, and there is even a trace of contempt and boredom in his eyes......
"Ladies and gentlemen! The oath has been made! In order to get rid of the wind thieves as soon as possible and return the Han Dynasty to a prosperous country, I hope that in the subsequent battles, you can act strictly according to the order, and you must not act arbitrarily! ”
Standing on this high altar and looking down on the princes, Yuan Shao naturally had a contemptuous mentality in his heart, "he will be at the top of the mountain, and he can see all the mountains at a glance", and even in a trance, he felt that he was sitting on the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme, looking down on the world......
"Yuan Meng, rest assured! In order to get rid of the **** of Feng Wuji, we must go all out!
Besides, the oath has been made, and we should obey the orders of the alliance lord and do as ordered! ”
When Sun Jian heard this, he arched his hand towards Yuan Shao, and said very sassily.
The others didn't speak, but most of them nodded.
Yuan Shao smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to speak:
"At present, taking the city of Luoyang is the first priority, so we need to gather forces and send troops from all sides to threaten Luoyang;
After we have to capture Luoyang, we will send troops to pacify Youzhou in one fell swoop with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves!
At that time, the Han Dynasty will be decided!
However, Youzhou is connected to Bingzhou and Jizhou, and Feng Wuji's army will inevitably attack the two states;
During this period, he also asked Ding Tingshi and Han Tingshi to send some troops to defend the border by relying on the pass to resist the city, and they must not take the initiative to attack;
And the main force will go forward, and form a joint attack and siege with us and Luoyang!
The passes around Luoyang are majestic, and Feng Wuji also controls three million elites, more than one million guards, and 500,000 defenders of Luoyang City;
If you want to quickly break through those Xiongguan and Luoyang City, it will take a lot of hands and feet;
Therefore, we must gather the main force, fight with great strength, and fight with lightning speed! ”
Afterwards, the princes returned to the main hall to continue to discuss the details of the troops.
After several hours of deliberation, the princes finally decided to divide their troops into eight routes according to geographical conditions to form a siege of Luoyang City.
Among them, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian led more than 4 million troops to enter Luyang in the south of Luoyang, and Kong Ling, Tao Qian and Liu Bei commanded more than 3 million troops to enter Yangzhai in the southwest of Luoyang;
Han Fu, Zhang Chao, and Kong Rong led more than 3 million troops to garrison Weishi in the south-east, while Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Cao Cao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, and Bao Xin commanded more than 6 million troops stationed in the east;
Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang led an army of five million into Hanoi;
Ding Yuan led an army of 800,000 troops into Yixian, and Yang Feng led an army of 3 million troops to stand by in the Baibo Valley in Hedong;
Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng and Han Sui commanded an army of nearly four million across the front line of Huangchi.
The total strength of the Twenty-Three Princes is close to 30 million, which is quite a bluffing number.
However, Emperor Ling's relaxation of the restrictions on local recruitment was not long-lasting, and among these armies, except for the three million troops in Hanoi and the nearly three million troops in Baibo Valley, almost all the armies in other places were mainly composed of the third-order earth army and the fourth-order hundred battle army;
As for the elite troops of the fifth order and above, the proportion is probably less than one-fifth.
To be honest, this kind of strength is not much stronger than the defenders of the city.
After all, the Eastern Han Dynasty was a big dynasty with a very good heritage and territory, with a huge population, and the princes everywhere had strong or weak ambitions.
Therefore, although the number of coalition forces is very terrifying, the real combat power is not as terrifying as imagined.
However, Feng Wuji only had five million troops around Luoyang, and the size of the coalition army was six times larger;
Even if you add the six or seven million troops in Youzhou, the coalition army is still more than twice as large as the other party.
In addition, there are twenty or thirty million players in the array, and no matter how you look at it, Feng Wuji's side is at a great disadvantage.
If the border line of Bingzhou and Jizhou can hold up and successfully block the Wuji army in Youzhou, then they will not have the slightest difficulty in winning.
There is a threat from Dong Xianbei and Fuyu in the north of Youzhou, and it is expected that Feng Wuji will be able to draw more than half of the three or four million troops at most, so the princes are full of confidence under this plan.
However, it took a lot of time for the entire army to be in place, so the coalition finally decided to put the official attack day after the 15th.
An unprecedented war is looming, and an unimaginable catastrophe is brewing in the skies above the Wuji Dynasty;
When the blood floats for thousands of miles, the dead bones stretch for thousands of miles, when the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are watered, and the hell of Ah Na comes to the world, ask this heaven and earth, has there ever been a trace of sorrow?
Heaven is ruthless, perhaps its mark will only be engraved for the victor......
