The next day, Yangxiong's army marched and camped hundreds of miles east of Luoyang. On this day, when he heard that Pingyuan County ordered Liu Xuande to arrive, Yangxiong was overjoyed, and immediately greeted Chen Gong ten miles out of the camp, and took Liu Guanzhang and the three of them to the Chinese army and set up a banquet.

Yang Xiong cares about the people, in fact, only Guan Zhang and the two of them, but if they don't take Liu Bei, Guan Zhang and the two can't return to their hearts.

Liu Bei was very happy when he received this courtesy, and he talked happily with Yangxiong. From Yangxiong's words, Liu Bei and Guan Yu both believed that Yangxiong was a true and righteous person.

When the wine was drunk, Yang Xiong took out the fake edict and showed Liu Bei. He cried loudly: "Dong thieves deceive the heavens and the earth, kill the monarch and abolish the lord, prostitute and disrupt the court, corrupt the court, and regard the people of the world as grass and mustard. We are waiting for the king's fortune, but we can't share the sorrow for the king, and the woe of the ancestors is really our sin!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei squeezed out tears and cried with each other.

Zhang Fei said: "If I had been allowed to kill this thief at that time, I would have avoided today's incident." ”

Guan Yu said: "The matter has come to this point, we should work together to fight against Dong Thief." ”

Yang Xiong stopped crying and said, "Yun Chang's words are good. However, the young emperor has passed away, and Dong Zhuo has appointed Chen Liuwang as the emperor. Xuande, if we break through the barrier and drive away the thief, how should we deal with it?"

Liu Bei groaned: "Although Emperor Xian was established by Dong Zhuo, he is really the son of the first emperor and the younger brother of the young emperor. ”

Yang Xiong said: "What Xuande said is good. However, after all, Emperor Xian was born to the Empress Dowager Dong, and the Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Zhuo are of the same clan, and Emperor Xian was young at this time, and the world was in turmoil. I thought that it would be difficult for the emperor to stand on his own. Those I am worried about, we will drive wolves, and there will be tigers. ”

Liu Bei said: "What does Yang Gong mean?"

Yang Xiong said: "I heard that you are the king of Zhongshan and Jin, the name of benevolence and righteousness has spread all over the world, Hongyi is generous, and under the rule of the plain, all praise. ”

Liu Bei heard Yang Xiong's praise like this, and he was complacent, but his face showed humility.

And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded again and again when they heard this, and they both thought: "This Yang Xiong is really a great good person!"

I heard Yang Xiong continue: "The reason why I invited you here first is to make you the master of our army. When the pass is broken and the thieves are expelled, you will be the regent, assist the young emperor, and revive the Han family!"

Liu Bei's heart shook wildly, but seeing Yangxiong's sincere expression, Chen Gong's face showed a look of hesitation. I only heard Zhang Fei say: "This dare is good!"

Liu Bei said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" Then he got up and left his seat, bowed to Yang Xiong, and said: "How can you be so virtuous, can you be so valued by the public? It is enough to be a small official under the command of the public and contribute to the country!"

Yang Xiong said: "Xuande Xiu wants to push, I am really sincere." Those who can help the Han family, you can't either!"

Chen Gong didn't know what Yang Xiong really thought in his heart, he only said that Yang Xiong was benevolent and righteous, and he wanted to hand over the foundation to others, and he couldn't help but feel as black as the bottom of a pot.

Liu Bei repeatedly pushed back. Yang Xiong said: "Could it be that Xuande can't trust me, or do you not want to contribute to the world?"

Of course, Liu Bei wanted to be the master of the army, but he knew that it was quite unrealistic, so he politely declined again.

Yang Xiong said: "Xuande, if you can't trust me, I can become brothers with you, make a vow, and support the Han family together to Kuang the world!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately agreed. The two talked about their age, since Yangxiong was two years older and became the eldest brother, Liu Bei became the second brother.

Liu Bei talked about his relationship with Guan Zhang and the others, and Yang Xiong smiled heartily and proposed to worship with Guan and Zhang.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had no objection and readily agreed.

Since then, Yangxiong has become the eldest brother, Liu Bei is the second, Guan Yu is the third, and Zhang Fei is the fourth.

What Liu Bei was thinking about was Yangxiong's previous proposal, and it would be completely made in the future.

After the salute, Yang Xiong immediately sealed Guan Zhang as a captain, and each led a team of sergeants, and Guan Zhang and the two were overjoyed.

When the other princes received the letters, they all raised troops accordingly. Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Kong Ling, Liu Dai, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin, Kong Rong, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yang, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, a total of 17 military horses, came to Luoyang.

In the name of his eldest brother Yangxiong, Liu Bei did his best to receive the princes as a landlord. He and Gongsun Zhuan are brothers in the same school, and they are both students of Lu Zhi, and of course they talk to him about Yangxiong's benevolence and righteousness. He also preached to Tao Qian, Kong Rong and other benevolent and righteous people, and preached the eldest brother as a person. It was in the name of Yangxiong benevolence and righteousness that began to sprout among the armies.

There are 30,000 of them and 120,000 of them. Counting Yangxiong's own 30,000 (10,000 went to ambush), the total army was more than 300,000. They set up camp and went down to the village, connecting more than 100 miles.

Yang Xiong slaughtered cattle and horses, and the armies were assembled to discuss the strategy of marching into the army.

Yang Xiong took out the fake edict, circulated it to the princes, and told how he bent down to Dong Zhuo, how he sneaked into the palace, secretly met the young emperor, and obtained this edict; after the young emperor was killed, how he assassinated Dong Zhuo, escaped from Luoyang after the defeat, and sent a letter and so on.

All the princes were loyal and brave, and praised in unison.

Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Today, if you are righteous, you will set up an alliance leader, and the people will listen to the restraints, and then march into the army." ”

Tao Qian said: "Even if the young emperor passed on the edict to Meng De, and we were invited by him, then Meng De will be the leader of the alliance!"

Yang Xiong said: "How can Xiong be virtuous, dare to be the leader of the alliance? Yuan Benchu is the third prince of the fourth generation, and he is a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, so he can be the leader of the alliance." ”

Yuan Shao pretended to push back again and again, but there were many supporters, and the other side agreed.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao and said: "At the beginning, he was the leader of the alliance, and everyone had no objections. But Meng De has the edict of the young emperor, which can be deputized. "The two brothers, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, have a deep friendship with Cao Cao and are supportive.

All the princes claimed to be. Yang Xiong didn't push back, this was the result he wanted. Even if he didn't become the deputy leader of the alliance, he still had a lot of plans to make things develop in the direction he wanted.

The next day, the oath was made, the starting point was built, the flags were all around it, the white and yellow Yue were built on it, the soldiers were carved with the seal of the general, and Yuan Shao was invited to the altar.

After the oath was completed, Yuan Shao ascended to the tent and sat down, and the two rows were seated separately. After a few rounds of drinking, Yang Xiong said: "Today, since the alliance leader has been established, everyone will listen to the dispatch, support the country together, and don't care about the strength or weakness." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Although Shao is not talented, he is promoted as the leader of the alliance, and he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his crimes." The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. ”

All the princes said that they would only obey orders.

Yuan Shao said: "My brother Yuan Shu is the governor of grain and grass, and he can deal with the battalions, and there is no shortage of them. It is also necessary for one person to be the pioneer to meet the challenge of Bishui Pass. The rest of them are in danger and think they will respond. ”

Sun Jian said: "I am willing to be the front." ”

Yuan Shao said: "What does Meng De think?"

Yang Xiong said: "Wentai is brave and brave, and he can take this position." ”

Sun Jian then led the men and horses of the headquarters to kill and run to the water pass.

Bao Xin was afraid that Sun Jian would take the first credit, so he secretly sent his brother Bao Zhong to lead the Ma Bu army of 3,000 to take the path until the battle was under the pass. Hua Xiong led 500 iron cavalry, flew down the pass, killed Bao Zhong with a knife, waved his army to cover the kill, and Bao's army was defeated.

However, it was said that Sun Jian led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao to lead 10,000 troops to Guanxia.

Huaxiong's deputy general Hu Zhen led 5,000 troops out of the pass to meet the battle, and was stabbed to death by Chen Pu with a spear. Sun Jian waved his army to kill directly in front of the pass, and the arrows and stones on the pass rained down. Sun Jian had no choice but to lead his troops back to Liangdong to live, so that people reported the victory to Yuan Shao, and urged food at Yuan Shu's place.

Yuan Shu listened to the slander, and was afraid that Sun Jian would take the lead in breaking Luoyang, so he would not give food.

Yangxiong knew this section, so he ordered Liu Bei to go to Gongsun to save the camp and talk about it in a casual chat. But he left the camp alone, performed light skills, and came to the top of a mountain twenty miles outside the Bishui Pass. You can see Sun Jian's military camp from afar.

Sun Jian's army was short of food, and the army was in chaos.

Huaxiong planned from Li Su and attacked Sun Jian's camp at night. Sun Jian's army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Zu Mao protected Sun Jian and broke through, Hua Xiong chased after him, Zu Mao took off the red curtain on Sun Jian's head, led Hua Xiong away, and Sun Jian fled from the trail.

Yang Xiong saw the defeat of Sun Jian's army at the top of the mountain, and immediately rushed down the peak, started Ling Bo micro-steps, and followed Sun Jian in the wilderness.

After Sun Jian escaped from the path alone, Yang Xiong performed light skills and rushed from the woods to Sun Jian. The Baishi hard crossbow was moved out, and a crossbow shot out, hitting Sun Jian's chest and abdomen, and passing through.

Sun Jian screamed, fell off the horse, twisted a few times, and returned to the west with his life.

Yoo picked up the bolt and moved it into the system space, then quietly left, returning to his camp.

Zu Mao was chased by Hua Xiong and slashed under the horse. Huaxiong's army was killed until dawn, and Fang led troops to the pass.
