Chapter Seventy-One: The Army of Princes
The princes of the Eighteen Roads have formed an alliance, and the Seventeen Roads have come, but Cao Cao has not yet arrived.
Now that the army is marching out, but it is going the other way, this scene has to make Liu Bian have more associations.
Cao Cao is a treacherous man, and there may be his plot behind this.
But it's a pity that too little information is known, and all this is his guess and cannot be determined.
From this aspect, he realized more and more that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is just a novel, in which there is only a general plot direction, but the details are brushed aside.
Behind this world lies hidden secrets that he needs to explore one by one.
"Maybe you should find someone to ask!" Liu Chang's eyes moved, and then he rode his horse and chased in the direction of the army.
The army of the Seventeenth Route was majestic and mighty like a tide.
More than 400,000 male soldiers turned into a huge war monster, and once they were deployed, the army was majestic, setting off the dust and mist that soared into the sky, as if they wanted to completely devour everything in this world.
The banners were hunting, the soldiers and horses were black, and the armor reflected a shining light in the daylight.
It is really a black cloud that is overwhelming the city and wants to destroy it, and the armor light opens to the sun!
Liu Chang's eyes were sharp, and he swept them one by one, and saw the faces of the princes of the Seventeenth Road clearly.
These are the heroes of the day.
The first person is dignified, with a face like a crown of jade, a high crown on his head, and an armor helmet, which is the head of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao!
Not far behind him was followed by a man with a gloomy expression, with a mean face, it was the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu!
There is a team of men and horses in front, the vanguard of the army, the military appearance is majestic, the head of the person is majestic, eight feet tall, burly and majestic, a big flag is erected in front, and the word "Sun" is written on it, Sun Jian of the Jiangdong Tiger.
In the center of the army, one person is a humble old man, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian!
On the left side of it, there is a silver-armored general, the figure is magnificent, the cavalry behind him is even more conspicuous, there are tens of thousands, the seat is a color of white horses, the action is uniform, although thousands of troops and horses but like a person, showing a momentum that does not move like a mountain.
White Horse General Gongsun Zhan!
The cavalry under his command is one of the best elite troops in the Three Kingdoms.
......
Liu Bian stood on the hill, and the army of the princes of the Seventeenth Road passed in front of him one by one.
He carefully observed the faces and armies of every prince and remembered them in his heart.
Although most of them are written very badly in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, since they can be the masters of one party, how can they be idle people?
It can be said that each of them is a hero of the moment.
As for their intrigue in the end, the alliance went down the drain, and in the final analysis, the assembly is just four words, "conflict of interests"!
When it comes to their respective interests, this is a matter that cannot be retreated.
The Tao is different, not the same!
It can be said that from the very beginning, this alliance with different intentions was destined to give up halfway.
The army is majestic, mighty, and invincible, but although the external war is invincible, the internal struggle is more deadly.
Liu Bian seemed to have seen the collapse of the army not long after, and a belief rose more and more in his heart.
Born in troubled times, the power of one person is still too small to reverse the general trend of the world.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to serve anyone as a relative of the Han family and the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he can only establish himself as the master of one party.
Therefore, he must have his own territory and train an invincible elite soldier in order to sweep the world and pacify China, let alone let the tragedy of China repeat.
Liu Chang's heart was full of passionate thoughts.
"Huh?" he stared, and suddenly saw the three figures standing out from the crowd behind Gongsun Zhan.
The White Horse is majestic in the military formation, and the princes of the Seventeenth Road are all heroes, but they can't hide the demeanor of these three people!
The person in the front was seven feet five inches long, with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands above his knees, his eyes could look after his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were like grease, and he held a male and female sword.
followed by a nine-foot man, with beautiful hair under the chin, about two feet long, his face is like a heavy jujube, his lips are greased, his eyes are red, his eyebrows are lying silkworms, his appearance is dignified, he is majestic, and he is holding an eighty-two pound Qinglong Yanyue knife in one hand.
At the end is a black-faced man, eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, the sound is like a huge thunder, the momentum is like a galloping horse, and the eight snake spears are in the hand, fierce and vicious.
If it's not Taoyuan Sanying, who is Liu Guanzhang?
It's just that what makes Liu strange is that when the three of them met before, they still had 3,000 cavalry, where did they all go now?
Liu Guanzhang and the three of them even carried an iron bow on their backs, as if they were acting as horse archers behind Gongsun Zhan!
Isn't this a humiliation of heroes?
Liu Chang's eyes stared at him, and sure enough, he saw that Zhang Fei's originally black face was getting darker and darker, and it was extremely ugly.
His face turned red, and his half-squinted eyes were full of humiliation.
Only Liu Bei's expression did not move, showing an extraordinary city.
Looking at those white horse servants carefully, Liu Bian faintly felt that some of the faces were very familiar, and then he understood the key.
I'm afraid that those cavalry before were not owned by this Liu Guanzhang.
After all, Liu Bei is just a small plain county commander, how many people can he pull?
These soldiers and horses were all borrowed from Gongsun Zhan, and now that they are joined with them, they naturally have to be returned, so they borrow but not exchange.
Although Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan call each other brothers, the soldiers and horses are equivalent to the lifeblood of the princes in troubled times, how can they be easily granted?
You must know that Sun Jian's son Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong in order to borrow troops from Yuan Shu, but at the cost of passing on the jade seal of the country!
Liu Beiguang relied on the name of a Han clan relative, and I am afraid that he would not be able to take away so many elite iron horsemen from Gongsun Zhan.
"Huh?!" a soft snort.
Just as Liu was darkening and pondering, suddenly a gaze pierced through the air like a sharp knife.
Liu Chang woke up suddenly, only to see that Guan Yu's eyes were slightly open, with murderous intent in his eyes, shooting straight over, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
"This Guan Yu is so murderous!" Liu Chang was surprised, and hurriedly dodged away to avoid his gaze.
Guan Yu stared at it for a long time and didn't find anything unusual, and he was also strange in his heart.
Just now he clearly noticed someone snooping, why didn't he see it, could it be that I was wrong?
"Second brother, what's wrong?"
"Second brother, what's going on?"
Seeing his strange expression, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei asked.
"Big brother, third brother, I'm fine! I'm just distracted!" Guan Yu retracted his gaze and said with a smile, but there was still doubt in the depths of his gaze.
"It's so dangerous! I was almost discovered!" Liu Bian hid in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief, and had a deeper understanding of Guan Yu's horror.
I didn't expect him to react so sharply, I'm afraid that this Guan Yu's cultivation is even higher than Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
After experiencing this thrilling adventure, Liu Bian followed the army of the princes of the Seventeenth Route far away, and became more and more careful to hide his figure and not reveal the slightest flaw.
Three days later, when it was dark, he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping out of Yuan Shao's army, scattered like a big net, as if to inquire about news.
Liu Bian's heart moved and chased after him.
