The Taiping army returned victorious, and a hearty victory made the Zhongqu Shuai and the entire Taiping army quite excited.

Luo Xiao knew that it was impossible for Qin Wangjun to sit idly by, and he would definitely make a move, so he sent someone to investigate Qin Wangjun's movements.

Yinghou Luo Zichuan led the army to the northeast of Xingyang, preparing to fight with the peerless Hou Luokong.

Jing County.

In the south of Xingyang, Yuan Shao took the stage as the leader of the Guannan Road Alliance, gathered the eight princes, and the rest such as Liu Bei was quite powerful, but not qualified to be among the princes There are more than a dozen, if you count in terms of strength, there are twenty princes along the way.

"Yuan Shao, originally a prince and a humble person, thanks to the princes who are not despicable, entrusted me with the responsibility of the leader of the alliance."

On the high platform, Yuan Shao was full of anger and said loudly: "Now we call on the heroes and warriors of the Quartet with great righteousness, and tell the righteous people of the world:

Since Emperor Shizu Guangwu was appointed again, the decline of the Han Dynasty has never exceeded this moment.

Your Majesty's life has never been more threatened.

There has never been more chaos and carnage at home than this moment.

Yin and yang are reversed, order does not exist, and in Kyushu, life and soul are in misery, and there is no more than this moment.

There are reckless people from the counties around them, and some are from the bachelor's family and the poor family, but they are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Today, the blood alliance does not propose its own life, but it is judged by loyalty and merit.

Enter the peace and cheer up the Han room. ”

As soon as he heard this, Gongsun Chan was instantly a little dissatisfied, when he was in Luoyang, the relationship between him and Yuan Shao was average, and at this moment, Yuan Shao's reckless person in the border county instantly made him can't help but get angry.

But the land of the oath master has begun to shout in unison, knowing that now is not the time to conflict with Yuan Shao, he can only whisper and Liu Bei angrily: "The reckless person in the border county, who is this Yuan Ben talking about?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly reassured: "Brother is a noble family of two thousand stones, and the reckless people in this county definitely do not refer to my brother, I am afraid that someone like me Liu Xuande." ”

Gongsun Zhan's expression eased slightly, but he still said angrily: "Xuande, you are a clan member of the Han family, how can you be a border county reckless, this Yuan Benchu relied on his background in a wealthy family of scholars, and he has always looked down on me and other border county families."

Look at the Luo family, the millennium family, the source of a hundred schools, what is the grand ceremony of learning, such the first family in the world has never had the slightest discrimination against my border county family, when I went to Zhaocheng to study, I learned that I am Youzhou Gongsun, Luo's son also greatly praised my Gongsun.

And he's just a concubine, so what is there to be proud of.

Seeing that this time, King Qin, my father-in-law Sun Zhan, must make the greatest contribution and slap Yuan Shao's face fiercely. ”

Liu Bei could only be appeased when he heard this, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu and his brother Gongsun Zan both have talents, but they all have their own shortcomings.

Yuan Shao has some eyes above the top and values his background, which can't be blamed on him, it's all like this now.

The only one who doesn't value his background is Luo's, but the reason why Luo's doesn't value it is because, in Luo's opinion, there is no difference.

Moreover, the wealthy families of the scholar family still have children to marry noble sons of poor families, and the last time Luo's concubine married can be traced back to the former Han champion Jing Huanhou.

The princess is easy to get, but the Luo girl is hard to find, this is a common saying that circulated in the Han Dynasty a hundred years later.

Yuan Shao attaches too much importance to his background, but he is just a hero, and even if he doesn't reuse the humble family, the impact on the great cause is actually not great.

Gongsun Zhan's shortcomings are more serious, he is not very broad-minded, just some ambiguous words, and he can hold grudges like this.

In Liu Bei's view, the talent who can get things done is the most important, and making more friends is the most important.

But fortunately, Gongsun Zhan still knew that the overall situation was important, and he did not conflict with Yuan Shao at this time, otherwise Liu Bei really didn't know what to do.

The most urgent thing now is to pacify the Taiping Army as soon as possible so that the world can settle down as soon as possible.

Then he entered Luoyang, and amicably persuaded the emperor to reform the world as soon as possible, clean up all the eunuchs who brought disaster to the country and the people, and choose loyal and upright courtiers to manage the country.

Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei talked in a low voice here, the oath had come to an end, an old ox was led to everyone, a sharp dagger was gently wiped on the throat of the old ox, accompanied by a terrible cow scream, and streams of blood fell into the bowl.

Yuan Shao was the first to step forward and wipe the ox blood on his lips, and the rest of the princes stepped forward in order, Gongsun Zhan also stopped communicating with Liu Bei and wiped the ox blood on his lips, Liu Bei looked at it with envy, not knowing when he would be able to have the capital to make an alliance with these heroes in the world.

"The sky is above, and we and other princes will march together, make an alliance with blood, and overcome peace together, and swear by this."

All the princes shouted in unison, and then Yuan Shao raised his hand and said: "Enter Xingyang, with Meng De as the vanguard."

Bo Gui has the world's elite cavalry, so he assists Meng De, and the cavalry of the Taiping Thief Army can only be dealt with by Bo Gui. ”

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but feel a little complacent, this ability to train cavalry was the proudest thing in his life, and now when he saw that even Yuan Shao praised him, how could he be unhappy?

"Zichugong, please take a look, the cavalry of the Taiping Thief Army is just an embroidered pillow, and the white horse of my Youzhou will trample them into bloody mud.

And Meng Degong's soldiers are probably not elite enough to bear the heavy responsibility of the vanguard, so let's leave it to Zhan.

The first battle must be won, otherwise how can the prestige of the alliance leader be demonstrated? ”

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's words came out, Liu Bei couldn't wait to step forward directly and cover his mouth, brother, you have a loud voice, but when did your mouth become so big?

How can this be said?

directly offended Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

I saw that a trace of anger flashed on Cao Cao's face, and the Cao family and Xiahou brothers behind him, who were five big and three thick, immediately wanted to step forward to ask for an explanation for their brother.

Liu Bei also brought his two righteous brothers to step forward to support Gongsun Zhan, although Gongsun Chan has a big mouth, but after all, he is his own person and must help.

Guan Yu stood behind Liu Bei and secretly said to himself, he thought that he was a person with a relatively proud personality, and he looked down on most people, but now when he saw Gongsun Zhan, he knew that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky, which was called proud.

In front of him, there was a sudden tension in the field of the alliance, Yuan Shao hurriedly stopped it, he still knew very well that there was absolutely no infighting now.

But seeing Gongsun Zhan's somewhat arrogant smile, Yuan Shao's eyebrows flashed with a hint of deep dissatisfaction.

He admitted that Baima Yicong was indeed very strong, and when Gongsun Chan led the army to Huimeng, he shocked all the princes, and almost never saw such an elite cavalry, but Yuan Shao did not expect Gongsun Chan to be so arrogant.

He Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, your Gongsun Zhan is so popular, did you take me in your eyes, if it weren't for the Taiping Army rebellion, you would be this kind of soil bun from a border county, and it would be impossible for you to enter Luoyang to become a minister for the rest of your life, and it would be impossible for you to join the alliance with me Yuan Benchu for the rest of your life.

Now it's so humiliating to me!

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are friends, and even their personalities are very similar.

There is no doubt that both of them are absolute heroes, even in this era of outstanding people, they are extremely rare.

But both of them are in the contrarian trend, they can frantically find opportunities, and they can use their talents with all their might.

But the disadvantage is that the tailwind is too wavey, and this tailwind is not an objective tailwind, but a tailwind that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao themselves think is a tailwind.

Now Yuan Shao felt that defeating the Taiping army was an easy matter, so his goal was not only to win, but also to win beautifully and gain prestige.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao secretly said ruthlessly in his heart: "Gongsun Zhan, let you be rampant for a while, wait for you to lose the battle, see how I clean you up, see what face you still have rampant in front of me at that time, don't pick your skin, I will give you the reputation of being handsome in the world." ”

After Gongsun Zhan said what he said in his heart, he was very happy, smiled and led the army to leave with Liu Bei and others, Cao Cao, as Yuan Shao's younger brother and friend, appeased Yuan Shao twice, and promised that he would definitely earn face for Yuan Shao, and also led the army to leave.

The rest of the princes all looked at each other, and each went to lead the army to prepare to attack Xingyang, although Gongsun Chan did not give face, but the alliance leader still seemed to take care of the overall situation, which made everyone feel more at ease.

As for Gongsun Zhan, let him go, the martial arts of the border county are like this, they don't know etiquette and don't know how to educate.

If Gongsun Chan knew that these people thought of him in their hearts, I am afraid that he would get angry with these people on the spot.

……

"These Qinwang princes, on the surface, seem to be huge, with a large number of troops, far better than my Taiping Dao, but in fact, they all have their own ghosts inside, and there are not too many princes who are really willing to die.

Friendly troops are in trouble, and they are as immobile as mountains.

Overcoming difficulties must not be.

This is what they will do, how can a country with extreme political corruption have soldiers who are not afraid of death? ”

In Xingyang, after getting the news of Yuan Shaohui's allied attack, Luo Xiao said to Zhongqu Shuai with disdain, Zhong Qu Shuai thought it was true, they now understood what it meant to be popular with the people.

After Luo Xiao's rear governance, the four words "the world is auspicious" were moved by Luo Xiao from fantasy to the front of the Taiping Army, this obvious life has become better, and the future will be better, the change in mood brought by it is too obvious.

Now that the Taiping army is fighting, there is no need for Qu Shuai to boost morale in front, and as soon as the war drums sound, the soldiers will naturally scream and charge.

Whether it is the will to fight or the tenacity and perseverance, there has been a huge improvement, these two are the factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the army the most, and the current Taiping Army is too strong compared to before.
