Chapter 421: Defeat in the first battle

At this time, Yuan Shao saw that everyone supported him, his heart was full of excitement and joy, and then he stood up, raised his chest and abdomen, and said with a straight face: "Thanks to the generals who look up to me Yuan Shao, Shao will shoulder this burden, assume the position of the leader of the alliance, lead everyone to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and give the world a bright future!"

After a pause, Yuan Shaoyou said: "Outside the big tent, the altar has been built, please come with me, we will swear to the sky and make a covenant." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shao lifted his robe and strode out, Liang Hao and Cao Cao then also stood up and walked out, and everyone followed.

In the center of the allied camp, a high platform is built from the north to the south, on the high platform, the flags of the five parties, the seal of the soldiers, and the items used to worship the heavens are all prepared, and then the army is arrayed, and the drums and horns are sounding in unison to invite Yuan Shao to ascend the altar.

Yuan Shao pressed his left hand on the sword at his waist, wore armor, a bright red cloak, and a golden helmet, and strode up the steps to the altar.

When Yuan Shao walked on the high platform, another soldier walked in front of Yuan Shao with a mouthful of Xiaoding in his hand, the blood of the beast was in the small ding, Yuan Shao dipped a little blood with his finger and smeared it on his lips.

All the princes in the audience also dipped some blood on their lips from the small tripod held by the soldiers next to them, indicating their compliance with the covenant.

The blood alliance began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the allies smeared the blood of beasts on their mouths to show that they kept their promises and would suffer from God's punishment if they broke their promises.

Then the Eighteenth Route Army, the whole army lined up, the military flag fluttered, the men and horses neighed, and the military flag was under the hundred generals, wearing helmets and armor, and each was majestic and high-spirited.

Flags roared all around, guns and halberds roared, thousands of horses neighed, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted loudly in their ears.

On the altar, Cao Cao promulgated the edict of the Son of Heaven and passed it on to the world, proving that the crusade against Dong Zhuo was justified.

"The Han family is unfortunate, the dynasty is unified, the traitor Dong Zhuo, subverts the royal family, fornicates the harem, abuses the people, there is immorality, Shao and others are afraid of the society's funeral, gather the righteous army, and fight against Dong thieves, where I am allied, work together to make the ministers' festival, there will be no two ambitions, and against this matter, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, the emperor and the queen of heaven and earth ancestors will be clear, witness!"

"All my allies, work together to make the minister's festival!"

"All my allies, work together, so that the minister's day!"

......

Under the altar, a group of princes and soldiers shouted loudly to swear an oath, and the sound was deafening and inspiring between heaven and earth.

After the oath was completed, because Yuan Shao was humble and self-proclaimed as a chariot general, Yuan Shao became the leader of the princes' alliance, and at the same time announced Liang Hao and Cao Cao as the deputy alliance leaders, and commanded the heroes together.

Yuan Shao's expression is serious now, his eyes are cold, and he has the demeanor of an alliance leader, and he looks majestic and imposing at a glance.

"Where is Sun Jian, who is too shou in Changsha!"

Yuan Shao's gaze swept over the princes from all walks of life, and he shouted loudly.

"Sun Jian is here!"

In the crowd, Sun Jian was wearing armor, wearing a bronze helmet, and his left hand pressed the saber at his waist, and walked out of the crowd, came to the altar and arched his hand: "Please give the alliance an order!"

Yuan Shao shouted: "Order you to be the vanguard, lead the people of the headquarters, set off on the same day, go straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and open the way for the army!"

"No!"

Sun Jian was full of joy, clenched his fists and shouted, with full joy, he returned to the team and got the position of pioneer officer, which made Sun Jian very excited. Dong Zhuo's old thief is a hero in the world, Sun Jian has long wanted to rush to kill Dong Zhuo's arrogance.

Then Yuan Shao announced, Yuan Shu, the governor of the eighteenth road grain and grass, I heard that the grain and grass were handed over to Yuan Shu, Liang Hao had seen the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, until Sun Jian was going to lose the battle because of the grain and grass again.

No matter what Liang Hao thought, Yuan Shu's nose was almost crooked, in his opinion, Yuan Shao did it on purpose, the transportation of grain and grass has always been in the rear, where is there any credit to speak of, so now Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao on the stage with gloomy eyes.

After all kinds of things were assigned and each performed his duties, Yuan Shao stood on the high platform and shouted: "Since the princes have elected me as the leader of the alliance, although Shao is not talented, he can also do it, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, the state has national laws, and the army has military regulations, I hope that the princes will not violate military regulations!"

"Obey the orders of the alliance leader!"

......

"Ah......h

In the Luoyang Palace, Dong Zhuo had already regarded the palace as his own palace, and at this time he was sleeping with one of the emperor's concubines in his arms, Li Ru hurriedly ran in and woke up Dong Zhuo, who was sleeping.

Especially the concubine who was not wearing clothes, saw that she quickly screamed and covered her body shyly with the quilt, and at the same time Li Ru quickly turned around.

"What the hell happened to break in at this time?"

Originally, the sweet dream was woken up and was about to get angry, Dong Zhuo extinguished his anger when he saw Li Ru, you must know that Li Ru is his important confidant, he knows that there is no big deal, Li Ru will not come here.

"Qi Taishi, the princes of the Kanto states are about to raise 500,000 troops, known as 800,000 troops, and they are coming straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, and please ask the Taishi to decide!"

"What?

Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, the Tiger Prison Pass is a barrier in Luoyang, if the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, then Dong Zhuo will have to face it directly, the hundreds of thousands of allied troops of the princes, Dong Zhuo quickly put on his clothes, got up from the bed, and walked towards the Taishi Mansion on the one hand, while sending someone to inform the military generals of Wenchen and go to the parliament.

Back at the Taishi's Mansion, the generals and strategists are waiting here.

Dong Zhuo returned to the Taishi Mansion, and before he could sit down, he began to ask: "The Kwantung princes have raised 500,000 troops to attack me, do you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy, but it doesn't hurt to say it?"

Before the words fell, a general stood up and said: "I kill all the princes like digging for things, and I am willing to share the worries and solve problems for the Taishi!"

Dong Zhuo took a closer look at this person, it turned out to be Huaxiong, a native of Kansai, this Huaxiong is majestic and terrifying, and he is the first fierce general of Dong Zhuo's subordinates now!

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and hurriedly crowned Huaxiong as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, and ordered him to have 80,000 elite soldiers, and go to the Tiger Prison Pass with Li Su, Hu Zhen and other generals to meet the enemy.

Speaking of the Kwantung Zhuxiong, Bao Xin, the prime minister of northern Qi, was afraid that Sun Jian would be the vanguard and take the lead, so he secretly arranged for his younger brother Bao Zhong to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to take a small road to Tiger Pass to challenge.

A few days later, when the Tiger Prison was closed, Bao Zhong led 5,000 troops to curse the pass outside the Tiger Prison.

After a while, I saw Hua Xiong leading five thousand Xiliang iron horsemen, came to the bottom of the city tower, lined up and looked at each other.

"Hey, the guards of the Tiger Prison Pass, listen, Dong Zhuo's thieves imprisoned the Son of Heaven, corrupted the dynasty, and deserved to be punished for the crime, now the division of the princes and kings of all walks of life has arrived, I am Bao Zhong, the brother of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Qi Bei, you don't want to open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise when the army arrives, you will die without a whole body. ”

Bao Zhong rode a big green horse under his seat, carried a giant axe, and made a lot of nonsense under the tiger prison.

Hua Xiong, who had a red beard and a scruffy beard, looked at Bao Zhong opposite coldly, he had never heard of this name, he thought that he was a nobody, but when he heard him so presumptuous, Hua Xiong looked angry, and directly raised his knife and mounted the horse to meet Bao Zhong.

Bao Zhong was overjoyed when he saw someone fighting, in his opinion, this head was like what he had in his pocket, Bao Zhong, who had never seen the world in a small place, always felt that he was very powerful, but he didn't know that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well, so he directly picked up the big axe and smashed it at Hua Xiong.

"Die!"

There was already a step away, and Hua Xiong let out a low shout, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Bao Zhong from top to bottom, and in a round, he saw Bao Zhong's giant axe fly out, and the whole mouth vomited blood, and it was no longer possible to fall to the ground.

As soon as Bao Zhong died, his soldiers and horses were immediately in chaos, Hua Xiong took this opportunity to press the army, under the charge of Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and now because the Lord will be killed, there is no leader, Bao Zhong's army collapsed instantly, more than half of the five thousand soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, and the rest were all captured.

The first battle of the Kwantung Alliance ended in a fiasco, and as soon as the news came out, the princes were shocked and stood up one after another, scolding Bao Zhong for not being the one who scolded him, and directly scolded Bao Xin to the ground.

However, Bao Xin also beat his chest angrily, he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that Hua Xiong was so powerful, and he actually killed Bao Zhong in one round, which shows that his younger brother buried his life because of his greed for merit.
