Tao Gong walked in front, while Cao Bao and I followed, and along the way, Zhen Rong sneered at me, which made me quite unhappy.

It's not good to be unhappy, it's impossible for me to tear my face and speak directly, after all, now that I have temporarily entered the Heroes Association as Tao Qian's staff, it is already a very rare thing.

It's just that it rained heavily that day, and after passing through the long corridor, I shook the water on the oil umbrella and was about to go in, but at this time Ji Rong said: "Lord, everyone brings in a number of family generals, let's not bring too much, why don't you let Xiongtu and the three of them wait at the door?" ”

Situ replied that he admired Xiongtu, so how could I leave Xiongtu out in the cold? Let's go in together, and you will leave your two homes at the door. Tao Gong said.

I nodded, and said in my heart that I wanted to, as long as I could go in, it would be okay to bring fewer people, so I said to Xu Zhu and Cheng Yanjin: "The two brothers are here first, I will be very soon." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, it's just like we're strolling around here." Xu Zhu said with a smile.

I nodded slightly, looked around, and found that this place was also a bit of a scale, although it was a makeshift military tent, but there were also boards and eyes.

Now the princes of the Eighteenth Road are discussing Dong Zhuo, and they will join the alliance in the area of sour dates outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and elect Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, as the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao's half-brother Yuan Shu was appointed as the envoy who supplies grain and grass, the so-called "envoy", as the name suggests, is to receive grain and grass to the princes of all walks of life.

The strength of the princes of the Eighteenth Route varied, with more than 40,000 people like Yuan Shao, 30,000 each for Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and nearly 30,000 for others like Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu, Han Fu and others, and less for Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang and other departments also had more than 10,000 people, and the total number of the Kwantung Coalition Army was close to 300,000.

With so many troops plus horses, at the end of the day, the amount of food and drink must be amazing, Yuan Shu is a shrewd person, naturally he will not do this thankless errand, not to mention that the Runan County in his hands alone is far from being able to supply the consumption of 300,000 troops.

According to history, in the following months, Yuan Shu not only did not supply grain and grass to the coalition army, but took the opportunity to fill his own pockets, and often did things like self-theft.

Then, with sufficient food, he secretly recruited refugees in Huainan and Runan, and in just three months, he expanded his army to 50,000.

After his strength grew, Yuan Shu was even more unpopular, flying and domineering, and even his brother, Yuan Shao, the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, did not pay attention to it, and the grain and grass supplied were often late or short of two catties, or shoddy, which gradually made the princes complain.

Taking advantage of the inextricable time when the other princes and the Xiliang army were killed, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to quietly attack Jiujiang County, killed Zhao Ke, the Taishou appointed by Dong Zhuo, renamed Jiujiang County Huainan County, and appointed his brother Yuan Yin as the Taishou of Huainan with Shouchun as the governing place, and after taking Huainan, Yuan Shu's confidence was even stronger, and he sent Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to escort grain and grass to the territory of Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling, attacked Wancheng at night, caught Liu Pan off guard, and successfully snatched Wancheng from Liu Biao's hands.

Of course, as the envoy of the allies, Yuan Shu can't run around casually, he is still in Fengqiu 60 miles behind the sour jujube camp at the moment, taking care of the allied army's grain and grass, but this does not prevent Yuan Shu from dispatching troops and taking advantage of the inextricable time between the princes and the Xiliang army to attack the city and plunder the land everywhere to strengthen his strength.

Therefore, this first step, I have to let Tao Qian or others get the position of this relief envoy at this first meeting, because if Yuan Shu gets this fat difference, it will also indirectly lead to the failure of the princes of the Eighteenth Route to fight for thieves.

However, at the first meeting at this time, I saw a person who should have died, and that was Liu Braid.

This Liu braid turned out to be the prince of the Nineteenth Road, logically speaking, after the emperor ascended the throne, Liu braid was poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and should not appear here, my intuition tells me that this Liu braid is not simple, and he may also be a psychic.

Liu Braided saw Tao Gong, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Tao Gong is coming again, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't be like this, the minister is ashamed of it, now Dong Zhuo is messing with the capital, and letting Your Majesty be dusted, it's purely me." Tao Qian said.

"As long as you help me to exterminate this Dong thief, the Han Dynasty can be restored!" Liu Braided said.

Many of the surrounding princes laughed.

I also feel funny, this era is the era of the princes, he Liu Braids didn't know why he was not poisoned, but now he still wants these careerists to praise him as the emperor again, he is too underestimating the ambitions of the princes.

And some people here have come out to praise Liu Braid, which makes me very embarrassed, because it is too fake.

Among them, Liu Ye was the most polite, and Liu Braids saw Liu Ye's humble attitude, and began to speak happily, it seemed that he wanted to envelop him, Liu Ye had a gentle temperament, and they were both descendants of their ancestors, so it was not difficult for Liu Braids to accept them as used.

After the greetings, Liu Wei asked about Liu Ye's life experience, and learned that he was the sixth descendant of Liu Yan, the king of Fuling, and he was the same generation as himself, which invisibly brought the relationship between the two closer all of a sudden.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Ye and Liu Yan is a big step closer than that of Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, Liu Yan and other princes, Liu Biao and Liu Yan are both descendants of Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty, and they need to be traced back to more than ten generations to find the root; And Liu Miao is even more upward, he is the descendant of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Fei.

To put it in layman's terms, if Liu Wei wants to become a family with these princes surnamed Liu, he needs to at least trace it back to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to discuss it. And Liu Ye is different, the grandfather of the great-grandfather of the two is Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu Emperor, and the relationship is already quite close.

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Ziyang to be the seventh descendant of Emperor Guangwu with the widow, and I need to call you brother."

Liu Wei bowed to Liu Ye as he spoke, "Brother is above, please accept the worship of the younger brother!" ”

Liu Ye hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare to be it, although it is also after Guangwu, but the Ye family road has gradually declined, how dare you be such a big gift to His Royal Highness?" ”

The two of them talked and laughed, as if they had become the protagonists of this banquet, but Yuan Shao in the distance looked at me with almost murderous eyes, as if he wanted to eat me in one bite.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Wei got up and arched his hand: "All of you here and Gu are all after Emperor Guangwu, seeing that the rivers and mountains of my Han family are withering day by day, Dong Zhuo usurped power and deceived my people. Although Lone is young, he is unwilling, so he tangled a group of loyal and righteous people, vowing to eradicate the traitor Dong Zhuo and revive my heroism. I sincerely invite you to help the widows, and on the day I return to the great treasure, I will have to be knighted, so that Chengde Liu will continue to be brilliant! ”

Liu Ye had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately got up and saluted: "Thanks to the great king's weight, and he is also a descendant of Guangwu, how can he allow the traitor to ravage my Liu family's world, although Ye is not talented, he is also willing to serve the king, eradicate the traitor, and support the Han family, it is my duty!" ”

"Good, good, good...... To be able to get the help of the emperor's brother, just like Gaozu has a son, the widow still lacks a master, and from today onwards, it will be served by the brother Tai, and he will fight in Henan with Gu, and go to the Kwantung Coalition Army for a while. ”

A group of people greeted each other, but at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, although it is said that it is a big matter to ask Dong thief now, but the matter of this internal thief seems to be bigger!" ”

"Thief?" Everyone looked at Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao said angrily: "It's Lin Mubai beside Tao Gong, this person killed several of my generals, and slaughtered my young daughter, mutilated Zhongliang, and caused trouble!" ”

"Is that really the case?" Even Liu Braids immediately looked at me.

Yuan Shao sneered: "Will I still lie?" ”

"If that's the case, this son should be punished!" Yuan Shu catered to the road.

This Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were originally their own family, and now they are targeting me, which is reasonable, but slandering me so much in front of the princes of the Eighteen Roads is clearly a strategy to kill people with a knife, and they want to use other people's hands to slaughter me.

Thinking of this, I arched my hand towards Tao Qian: "Tao Gong, may I say a few words?" ”

As a guest, I naturally have to give Tao Gong face.
