Chapter 194: The Coalition Shows Its Muscles

Yuan Shao quickly reacted, glanced at Yuan Shu with a gloomy face, and found that this guy also learned from Tao Qian and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

Sun Jian was not finished, and continued: "Emotionally, I support Brother Meng De. However, there was also an outstanding military strategist and victorious general among the people who sat down, he broke 100,000 with 3,000 cavalry, and 300 cavalry broke 4,000 thieves defending the city in one day, thinking that 10,000 soldiers and horses were facing a close-range night attack three times as many as his own, but captured all the senior generals of the other side in half an hour. When it comes to knowing soldiers and being good at fighting, we are not as good as Wei Pingdong. ”

Wei Xuanqi knot, why did you pull me again? He felt that he had not offended Sun Jian, on the contrary, he kindly reminded him to pay attention to Zhang Zhi, and after the Xiangyang incident, he even invited Sun Jian to gather in Yangzhai, and he was willing to provide some grain and grass.

Sun Jian divided Yuan Shao and Cao Cao understandably, what is it to bring himself, looking at Gongsun Zhan's expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling, he must be saying that Wei Xuan is all children playing at home, and the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Qiang are really fierce. Wei Xuan's self-examination may be comparable to Tao Qian's combat exploits, but compared with Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian, it is too far behind. Could it be that he and Yuan Shu wanted to instigate Wei Xuan to promote himself?

Wei Xuan looked up again????????????????, Yuan Shu kept smiling although his eyes were closed, and Yuan Shao's face was iron-blue. Turning to Kong Ling again, he saw that he was calmer than before, and he didn't seem to care if he was taken by Sun Jian as a negative example of touting Wei Xuan, could it be that there was a deal between the three of them, thinking that Kong Ling could not get support in the middle lane and could only rely on Yuan Shu in the south road.

Sun Jian called his name, Wei Xuan couldn't be as calm as Tao Qian, he stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Wentai said that it was funny, there are many people here who are much higher than Xuan in terms of prestige and combat experience. Xuan is young and ignorant, how can he become the leader of the coalition. ”

Sun Jian continued: "Zhong Dao, you don't have to be too humble, everyone here, only Zhong Dao has fought side by side with the Xiliang soldiers, and you are also the most familiar with the generals under Dong Zhuo. After receiving the edict of the Three Princes, he was also the first to respond. There are many examples of winning more with less, and so far there has been no defeat, so you should insist that the leader of the coalition alliance Zhongdao should be the best. ”

Wei Xuan was speechless, looked at Yuan Shao, spread his hands, and said in his heart, Boss, I am innocent, you hurry out and clean up.

Sure enough, Yuan Shao couldn't listen to it anymore, coughed a few times and got up from his seat and said: "Everyone sit down and talk, today I will mainly talk about their respective soldiers and horses, and I will formulate corresponding countermeasures in the future." As for the election of the leader of the alliance, let's talk about it tomorrow afternoon. ”

Hearing that Sun Jian and Cao Cao sat down separately, Wei Xuan also sighed, he felt that there was a small flaw in Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's procedures, that is, the alliance leader should be elected first, and then it would be better for the alliance leader to lead everyone to swear together.

But Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were not confident, thinking that they were afraid of electing the leader of the alliance first, and they would disperse and leave without waiting for the blood to form an alliance. The first blood alliance is at least a constraint on all walks of life.

Yuan Shao said this, no one continued to jump out to recommend others or recommend themselves, anyway, there is time, and tonight is reserved for everyone to connect with each other.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he also sat down and glanced at Cao Cao, who stood up again and continued to preside over the meeting: "You all tell me about the soldiers, horses, equipment, and grain and grass you bring." It is also good for everyone to have a bottom in their hearts, so as to facilitate future operational command and grain and grass scheduling. ”

This is to let everyone show their strength and see the family background of the coalition army. This is also a procedure that must be followed, otherwise they don't know what the strength of the allies is, how to fight Dong Zhuo who is entrenched in Luoyang?

The first thing Cao Cao looked at was naturally Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was also unceremoniously arched towards everyone and sat on the spot and said: "With the 15,000 people of Wentai, now Jingzhou has hoarded 45,000 people in Luyang, with complete weapons and sufficient grain and grass. ”

Cao Cao glanced back and found that someone was already recording according to the plan, and then looked at Tao Qian, Tao Qian finally opened his eyes and said: "In addition to the Guangling people and horses in Xuzhou, there are currently 30,000 people gathered in Sujuo, and the weapons are basically complete, and the grain and grass can last for half a year,"

Tao Qian's words suddenly caused a commotion, it was not that Tao Qian's large number of soldiers and horses frightened everyone, but that he had always said that he had prepared 40,000 and brought 35,000 before leaving, and everyone thought that he had left 5,000 to transport grain and grass behind. Why is there only 30,000 sour dates left? Compared with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's 45,000 people, Tao Qian's 30,000 people are basically complete with weapons, which shows that there may be some soldiers who do not have weapons. With such a force, how did he successfully expel the Xuzhou Yellow Turban in a short period of time? No wonder everyone wonders, eighteen people are in Tao???????????????? Qian was the first to take up his current position, and he went specifically to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and he was also the first to start large-scale recruitment. If he wasn't prepared enough, what could others say about being prepared?

Cao Cao was a little surprised and looked at Wei Xuan on the opposite side, Wei Xuan thought for a while, looked at Kong Ling's gloomy face and said truthfully: "Xuan's command now has 27,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry outside Yangzhai City, 4,000 soldiers in Yangzhai City, and 4,000 Tuntian soldiers in Yingchuan County. Fully equipped and well fed. ”

Wow...... There was a commotion in the hall again, Kong Ling's face twitched, and Tao Qian opened his newly closed eyes again. Because Wei Xuan was too surprising. Everyone knows that Yingchuan borders Henan Yin, unlike the soldiers and horses of other counties that are difficult to participate in the war, Yang Zhai can be dispatched at any time, the so-called Tuntian soldiers, which is also a way to Weixuan's Tibetan soldiers. The fact that he is fully equipped and has enough food shows that these Tuntian soldiers can be armed to participate in the battle at any time, and it will not affect the food supply, so Wei Xuan will gather 36,000 troops in one county! If Wei Xuan is Nanyang or Runan Taishou, it is not surprising, because these two super counties are more than 30 counties with a population of more than two million!

The reason why Wei Xuan took out the cavalry alone was because the Han Dynasty lacked war horses, especially in the Central Plains, where ethnic minorities such as Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Xiongnu had very strict control over horses, and Gongsun Zhan, who had been fighting on the frontier all year round, only brought 3,000 cavalry this time, not because he didn't want to bring more, but because there was nothing but the housekeeper.

It was Cao Cao's turn, and he said a little embarrassedly: "incompetent, I can't compare to you, I only brought eight thousand infantry." The equipment is acceptable, and the grain and grass will all depend on your help. ”

Everyone else smiled to show their understanding, but Wei Xuan's eyes widened, Boss Cao can, if it weren't for Kong Ling's calculations, plus the previous soldiers and horses, it would have been more than 10,000, you must know that it has only been four or five months, and he is still a court official, and he does not have the advantage of a local governor, which can only say that the Cao family and the Xiahou family in Qian County are strong, and Cao Cao himself has good appeal. And if he doesn't kidnap Xu Chu, I'm afraid that more people in Xujia Village will join Cao Cao's team, and Cao Cao will also have 10,000 people. This is comparable to when he was begging for a thief lieutenant, a team of 600 people went out of the customs, and with the support of his uncle Pei Ye and almost all of Yuzhou, it took a year to recruit 10,000 soldiers. There is still a gap compared to Cao Cao.

Sun Jian has already said it for him here, but Yuan Shu also ambushed, because according to the news, Sun Jian was 10,000 when he set off from Changsha, passed by Xiangyang and killed Zhang Consulting, and got 10,000 state soldiers and 4,000 county soldiers, obviously Sun Ce did not bring all of them to Luyang.

Therefore, the 45,000 people in Jingzhou underreported the ambush left by Sun Jian, and if Cao Cao, Wei Xuan, and Kong Ling were added to Yuzhou, it would be nearly 65,000 people.

Jizhou is the largest state in the world, and it is far ahead in terms of population and economy, so Wei Xuan is looking forward to Han Fu, the Jizhou pastor. It's just that when Han Fu opened his mouth to speak, Wei Xuan's jaw almost dropped in shock.

I heard Han Fu say lightly: "Jizhou brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, the weapons are basically complete, and the grain and grass are acceptable. ”

The Jizhou soldiers and horses that Han Fu said naturally do not include Yuan Shao, the soldiers and horses under the Bohai Taishou. But 20,000 people are too unexpected, and it is really difficult for him to come to Han Fu to leave soldiers and horses to garrison along the way to prevent Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao from destroying the country in a false way.

Listening to the second half of his sentence, I was even more surprised, what is called the basic complete weapons, the grain and grass are acceptable, and the only one among the princes of the Eighteen Roads is ???????????????? One of the state pastors, and occupy the largest state, only send 20,000 people to forget it, and said that he is in charge of the grain and grass of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Zhang Yang, Wang Kuang and his own five people, what does this grain and grass mean?

There is no accident next, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling has changed from 30,000 to 20,000 today, everyone knows that everything that is missing except for being hacked to death by Wei Xuan's army is where Wei Xuan went.

Although there were four people in Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi, Bao Xin and Qiao Mao working alone, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, still gathered 20,000 people. In the eight counties of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and Bao Xin occupied relatively large ones, of which Zhang Miao had 12,000 soldiers and horses, and his younger brother Guangling Tai guarded 5,000 soldiers.

Qiao Mao had been ordered to lead troops to Luoyang once with Wei Xuan, Dong Zhuo and others, he was the son of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuan, and when he saw that Dong Zhuo was able to quietly grasp the power, his heart was always sour, and he also regretted that he was too slow at the beginning, so he was not cowardly at all in doing such a thing, and the soldiers and horses in Dongjun also reached 10,000. Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin had 8,000 soldiers and horses, Shanyang Taishou Yuan left 7,000 soldiers and horses, and Yanzhou had 57,000 men except Zhang Chao. It is comparable to the Yuzhou represented by Wei Xuan and Kong Ling.

Yuan Shao has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in a county other than Wei Xuan, which can be said to be on a par with Jizhou Mu Hanfu.

Gongsun Zhan has 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, no one will simply count him 8,000, Cao Cao also specially instructed the recorder to say that the cavalry is an exception, and Gongsun Bogui's combat power is equivalent to 15,000 infantry.

Unlike Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, who also coveted Jizhou, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang collected the Taishan thieves and the Montenegrin thieves, and scraped together 8,000 people, and his 8,000 people were absolutely inclined to support Yuan Shao, so now the three forces of Hebei are very delicate.

Soy sauce party Kong Rong actually brought 3,000 people to sour jujube, Wei Xuan wondered if he didn't want to go back to Beihai, and was ready to take some people to wander, and another soy sauce party Zhang Yang soldiers and horses were also 3,000, and it was estimated that he also caught some beggars and homeless people along the way.

Wei Xuan roughly calculated that there were 56,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry in Hebei. The middle road sour jujube gathered a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses from the nine roads, and the infantry of Yang Zhai on the middle road was 55,000 and 1,000 cavalry. On the southern front, Luyang had 45,000 infantry for two people.
