Chen Yong and Gongsun Zhan were hurrying in front of the head, when suddenly a sentry appeared in front of them, and under the yellow flag first, there were three generals. Chen Yong looked at it intently, and then realized that the three of them were very familiar with Gongsun Zhan. It turned out that the person who came was Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, the commander of Pingyuan County, and his two sworn brothers, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide is also!

The Gongsun Chan opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xian hasn't seen you for many days, why did the three of you brothers appear here today?" Could it be that you have also heard that Yuan Shao and Yuan originally summoned the forces of the princes of the world to jointly attack Dong Zhuo? Brother Xian also intends to contribute? Together? If you really have this intention, come with me to the land of sour dates! It's just your plain county, what should you do? ”

Liu Bei replied: "My brother protects me as the county commander of this plain, but this place has been repeatedly attacked by rogues. In the past year, my younger brother has been really frightened, and he has fought with thieves several times, thanks to my two brothers, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. Even so, I've had a hard time here. Today, the younger brother is willing to go with his brother to crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo, and ask my brother not to dislike the major general of our army. ”

Gongsun Zhan asked: "These two brothers of the virtuous brother, where do Guan Yu and Zhang Fei live now?" I know that the two of them are heroic, and the last time Liaoxi Guanzi City happened, thanks to the help of the two brothers, I was able to get out of trouble......"

Liu Xuande replied: "The two virtuous brothers follow me Liu Bei, which is really condescending. What other good positions can I hold in my county? Now Guan Yu is a horse archer, and Zhang Fei is a foot archer, both of whom lead the soldiers and horses in my plain county, so that they can fight against the thieves! ”

Gongsun Chan sighed: "This can be said to bury the hero!" Now Dong Zhuo is in turmoil, and the princes of the world are punished together. The virtuous brother can abandon this lowly official, fight the thief with me, support the Han family, and achieve a hegemony, what do you think? ”

Liu Bei was ecstatic and replied: "I wish to go!" Every time the younger brother changes his fate, he has the help of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is really the noble man of the younger brother! ”

Gongsun Zhan smiled and said: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and the virtuous brother appeared here at this time, isn't it just to rush to the land of sour dates with his brother?" This brother is the captain of the cavalry, Chen Yong is also, and you are also familiar with the virtuous brother, so I won't introduce it too much for the brother. ”

When Liu Bei saw Chen Yong, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Brother Chen Yong, you and I meet again today, the virtuous brother is really the ambition of the bird, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm!" The foolish brother has been wasted for half a lifetime, and he has only made a plain county order, which is really ashamed! Please come with me into the city to rest the horse, so that I can talk about how life is? ”

Chen Yong urged the horse to flash out, came to Liu Bei and said: "Xuande Gong, Mencius said, 'If the heavens descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies. Acting chaotically, so he was tempted to endure what he could not do.

'Brother's current hardship is just a tempering, and when you turn into a dragon, too! The little brother of Pingyuan County will not go, it is still early, it is better for the brother to prepare early, let's all hurry together, what do you think? ”

Liu Bei said: "Thanks to Brother Jiyan, since everyone is unwilling to enter the city, you can wait for me for a while." Then Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two brothers, you two should go back to the county seat quickly and bring out all the things we have prepared. Here we will never come back, I hope that this coalition to fight the thief is my Liu Xuande's way to make a fortune! ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received the order, and after a while, the two of them came to everyone with a team of two or three hundred people, pulling grain and grass. In this way, an army of more than 13,000 people rushed towards Suozao County.

On this day, everyone was on the road, and they saw a sentry on the side of the road, and a man was seven feet long, with thin eyes and long hair, but a big horse with a red head was very conspicuous.

When the man saw Gongsun Zhan's team, he came to everyone and clasped his fists and said, "Dare to ask the general, is it Gongsun Zhan?" I am Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who specially greeted General Gongsun's army here. The eight princes have arrived, and General Gongsun will come with me and set up camp here. I'll take you to meet with your heroes in a moment, don't you think? ”

Gongsun Zhan naturally urged the horse out and replied: "Yes, yes, a certain family is." Meng Degong dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone, although he couldn't succeed, he could be called a hero at that time! It's worth yearning for! Please also ask Meng Degong to lead the way, I wonder if Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu can arrive? ”

Cao Cao replied: "Yuan Benchu had already led 30,000 troops to arrive the day before yesterday, and he was also very concerned about General Gongsun!" He told me that the hero of the day is none other than General Gongsun. It is also mentioned that in the early years of General Gongsun, he dared to lead dozens of cavalry out to patrol the fortress. Seeing hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, General Gongsun led the army to kill and defeat the Xianbei iron cavalry, which is really the courage of ten thousand people! ”

Gongsun Zhan's most proud battle was this assault when he was a teenager. At that time, with his enthusiasm, he led dozens of cavalry to repel hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, and also achieved his prestige in the Liaodong region. It is also the touchstone for his own promotion to officialdom. And their own relatives are all warriors who have followed them from that time, and now they are slowly getting older.

Gongsun Zhan led all the generals, together with Chen Yong and Liu Bei's men and horses, followed Cao Cao and Cao Mengde to a planned open space, and began to set up camp. Then Cao Cao immediately ordered someone to bring cattle and sheep and slaughter them on the spot, so as to reward the three armies! And Gongsun Zhan followed Cao Cao to Yuan Shao's original camp.

Chen Yong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others sat together again, saying goodbye to the scene of the battle with the Wuhuan people when they were in Liaoxi County that day. Everyone is full of emotion, saying that time flies, and the friends who fought together bloody at that time are now in the land of sour dates, gathering together, drinking a lot, and eating meat in large pieces!

Chen Yong even pointed out that Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide were brave and fierce; Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang's righteousness is awe-inspiring; Liu Bei Liu Xuande's command is determined! That battle was really the crystallization of the wisdom of the three people, and none of them could be done!

Liu Bei lamented Chen Yong's fearlessness of death and the loyalty and courage of his soldiers! And he has always lacked luck, the first person to rescue Gongsun Chan was himself, but in the final choice, he did not lead his own brother to rush through the camp of Su Lie, the first warrior of Wuhuan; Instead, he chose to fight him head-on, and after a big battle, he lost his troops and lost his generals, but in the end, he only got an official position as a plain county commander......

Chen Yong looked at Liu Xuande, who was already drunk after drinking, and Chen Yong seemed to see himself who was dissatisfied with life and another time and space! In fact, there are always many unsatisfactory things in life, but how many people can stick to their ideals and go on? Too many people will give up halfway, borrow wine to drown their sorrows, and forget their original intentions......

Those who can persevere, indulge themselves occasionally when they are tired, but never give up on their ideals, can finally lead to success! Just like this, when you are drunk, you will also feel that life is not easy. I believe he once thought that if he had changed himself, the three brothers would rush through Wuhuan Su Lie's camp and save Gongsun Zhan, and now they have become the captain of the cavalry, wouldn't they have reached the pinnacle of their lives?

In fact, God is fair to all people, and will not deprive you of the opportunity because of one of your wrong choices. But if you continue to be decadent and extravagant, then maybe you will never have a good opportunity again. Opportunities will only be given to those who are prepared, and those who have been working hard, not for those who are counting on pie in the sky......

In the places where these princes gathered, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde belonged to the landlords, and he was naturally responsible for the grain and grass in the early stage. And Cao Cao has always adhered to the principle of distributing grain and grass according to the number of people, ensuring that every subordinate of the princes who came to form an alliance had something to eat, and creating better living conditions for everyone as much as possible.

At this time, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde were bent on overthrowing the rule of Dong Thief, saving Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Wei, the king of Hongnong, but he did not think that he could use everyone's strength to benefit himself at this time. This is also the reason why Yuan Shao Yuan was recommended as the leader of the alliance, and he also raised his hands in favor.

Soon all the princes arrived, and everyone gathered together to discuss the crusade against Dong Zhuo. There are no rules, and the princes of the eighteen roads naturally want to elect the leader of the alliance. Although when he came, the Kwantung Prefecture raised troops to fight against Dong, and Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance. But now that the princes of the Eighteen Roads have gathered, it is natural to elect another hero who is highly respected and able to serve the public.

On this day, Cao Cao slaughtered cattle and sheep, and the princes of the conference discussed the strategy of marching into the army. Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Today, in the spirit of righteousness, it is necessary to establish the leader of the alliance first; The princes must wait for restraint before they can march into the army. But is this the matter of the alliance leader? I propose ......"

Cao Cao Cao Mengde interjected and replied: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, many old officials, and the descendants of the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, can be the leader of the alliance!" What's more, when he killed eunuchs and eradicated relatives, he contributed a lot. And after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he could still speak up and say, 'The world's healthy people, how can Dong Gong be the only one?' The famous sentence should be a model for my generation! Gu I Cao Mengde, I am willing to recommend Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance! ”

Yuan Shu, who was also the third prince of the fourth world, originally wanted to open his mouth to fight. But when he heard Cao Mengde's words, he swallowed his words back. The princes who came with them were all thinking about what advantages they could still have to compete with them, but they couldn't think about it enough to meet Cao Cao's words, and they extinguished the intention of competing with the alliance leader.

Yuan Shao saw that no one was competing with him for the throne of the leader of the alliance, so he pretended to excuse himself, and after everyone said that it was necessary to be the original, Yuan Shao agreed, and he officially sat on the throne of the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao immediately ordered people to build a high platform with three floors, all over the five flags, build Bai Xuan Huang Yue, and the military talisman will be sealed, so as to choose a good day and auspicious day to take the stage to worship the marshal, and be the generalissimo who confronted Dong Zhuo.

Everyone drank together to congratulate Yuan Shao on taking the position of the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao even asked his subordinates to serve cattle, mutton, wine and meat, and invited the generals to feast. Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu was drunk, came to his brother Yuan Shao, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you sit in the position of the leader of this alliance, you can't forget the benefits of your brother!" Among these princes, only your brother and I are the ones who sincerely support you! ”

Yuan Shao didn't like it in his heart, but he knew that the nature of his brother Yuan Shu was too small-bellied, and he was a calculating person. What's more, Yuan Shu is still a descendant, and his roots are red. And his mother is only a servant girl, and her status in the family is quite low. If he hadn't succeeded his uncle Yuan Cheng as his adopted son, where would he have today's status?

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to offend Yuan Shu at this time. Because Yuan Benchu knew that if he didn't promise to give Yuan Shu enough benefits at this time, he would definitely dare to use the opportunity of drunkenness to publicize all the ugly things he had done in his early years to the public, so that all the generals present would look down on him!

So Yuan Shao stretched out his hand and pulled Yuan Shu to his side, and then he got up to confess his guilt, and made a gesture to everyone, signaling that he had drunk too much and wanted to go to Gong. Yuan Shao pulled Yuan Shu out of the big tent, and only whispered in a hidden place: "Second brother, what are you asking me to say about you?" No matter what position you want, wouldn't it be nice to tell your eldest brother in private? Do you have to say it in front of so many people? Don't you let outsiders see your brother's jokes? ”
