Within a few days, nearly 5,000 volunteers were recruited, all of whom had served in the local army, and people from ordinary families brought their own weapons to join the army after a few days of training. It's a pity that there are no suitable people to fill various military positions, so they have to promote the captain and even the chief among the small soldiers.

After Cao Cao learned of the situation, he couldn't help but sigh: "A thousand troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find." ”

Not long after the rumors came out, there was a Yangping patriot Le Jin Le Wenqian took the initiative to vote, this person is short in appearance, but he is a brave general, after joining the army, with a pair of fists, easily knocked over more than ten chiefs, with his own ability to become Dubo, and later was favored by Cao Cao, promoted to the military candidate, and the sergeant under his command was 500 people.

Later, there was Shanyang giant deer Li Dian Li Mancheng to vote, with a jade-inlaid turban on his forehead, the costume of a Confucian scholar, and a yellow gourd on his back.

After all, Cao Cao had seen the world, and knew that Li Dian under the account was really a Taoist general, and he also handed over 500 soldiers to his command, and then got a reminder from the gold lord Wei behind him, worried that Li Mancheng's Taoism came from the Yellow Turban remnants of Taiping Dao, so he knocked on the side from time to time, and found that there was no abnormality before he was a little relieved.

Cao Cao's real dependence, after ten months before arriving successively, first the two brothers of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan, since childhood, bathed in medicinal water, played with guns and sticks to hone their muscles and bones, and after the age of fourteen, they practiced martial arts with famous teachers, and they were all brave generals of a hundred enemies.

The two of them each brought a thousand armed families to vote, both of them were born to the Xiahou family, not only skilled in martial arts, but also proficient in various combined battle formations, especially loyal, and would never betray the master.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao's two brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, to come together, each leading a thousand families, and on the way to Chenliu, they easily pacified several groups of rebellious soldiers and bandits.

After a farewell in Luoyang, the brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family reunited again, and they all had a lot to say, Cao Cao simply held a big banquet, and invited the gold lord Wei Hong and others to come to watch, he used the Cao family's private soldiers to salute, the bloody atmosphere was extremely heavy, and naturally everyone was satisfied.

In the next year, the general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu received the edict sent by Cao Cao to the states, and immediately overjoyed, gathered the officials and generals under his command, and led more than 30,000 soldiers recruited in the county to leave Nanyang for Chenliu and join Cao Cao.

As the eldest son of the Yuan family, Cao Cao's ambition was blazing like fire, and he immediately wrote a letter to discuss Dong throughout the prefectures and counties, and the content of the text was as follows.

"Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king, disrupted the palace ban, and mutilated the living beings, and was unkind and full of evil! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers have been gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger, supporting the royal family, and saving the people. When the text arrives, it can be carried out as soon as possible!"

With the endorsement of the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, Cao Cao's personal essay against Dong was more powerful than the edict, and the princes of various states responded with troops.

The first town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling. The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao. The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan. The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. The thirteenth town, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng. The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian. The seventeenth town, Zhongshan guards Liu Bei.

Coupled with Cao Cao's headquarters, which led Chen Liutai, a total of eighteen princes. The princes of each road are more than 350,000, and the least is 10,000 or 20,000. Cao Cao's recruitment time was a little shorter, and with the support of the Xiahou family and the Cao family, he barely managed to make up 10,000 soldiers. The only princes who can be compared with him are Liu Bei, who pacified the remnants of the Yellow Turban of Zhongshan Kingdom and was recommended by the local scholar landlord as the Taishou clan.

Ye Zhiqiu's Five Poisons Law Body clone, at this time in Liu Bei's military camp, with the help of Qi Hope Technique to watch Uncle Liu Huang's luck, since the collapse of the Han Empire's Heavenly Pillar, the true dragon is disqualified, the law ban has collapsed, and the princes in various states and places have begun to transform into dragons.

Last year, in the genealogy of the Luoyang directory, Liu Bei's weather was just a red snake, but now he was surrounded by clouds, with small horns growing on the top of his head and an extra pair of claws.

"This enhanced version of Uncle Liu Huang is really a person who is not simple. The princes of the Eighteenth Road can catch the last train. By the way, the fate change here is closely related to me. During the Luoyang Rebellion, I personally cut off Yuan Shao's original son-in-law, and at that time I carried Liu Bei's private seal with me, and borrowed his blood breath with a secret method. I estimate that Yuan Shao's position was transferred to Liu Bei, and there seems to be considerable redundancy for the correction of the trajectory of fate or the number of days. ”

Ye Zhiqiu's Five Poisons Law Body changed his face to avoid being recognized by Yuan Shu, who almost died in his hands, and wandered around the camp that stretched for twenty miles, and really found the breath of many fellow Daoists, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"The Great Han Dragon Qi Law Prohibition has collapsed, and all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have run out, and I didn't know how to stay in that remote corner before, but now I have changed my body and devoted myself to the Central Plains Kyushu. If I have the chance, I must slaughter a few more. ”

In the camp of the convener Cao Cao, Ye Zhiqiu happened to find Li Dian Li Mancheng, who was developing in the direction of the Dao General, and the Dao vein of the inheritance seemed to be the Dao of insects, and he also had the Dao rhyme of the Five Elements and Gu Poison, which was quite good.

The scholars of the states were still waiting, and after the princes of the Eighteenth Road were in Chen Liuhui, the convener Cao Cao elected Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan clan of Runan, the fourth and third dukes, as the leader of the alliance, and the rest of the people had no objections. On the contrary, Yuan Shu was worried about provoking criticism, so he repeatedly refused, but unfortunately Cao Cao was determined to let Xian, Yuan Shu couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly accepted the position of alliance leader.

Ye Zhiqiu watched this farce coldly, and remained silent without saying a word, in fact, he had already put Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance against Dong Lianjun, on the list of must-kill.

"What big thing can Yuan Shao's son-in-law accomplish, it's not the Runan Yuan family behind him, there are several protégés and former officials all over the world, if I don't kill you cleanly, I really can't vent my hatred. ”

After the princes of the Eighteenth Route elected the leader of the alliance, they arranged manpower to prepare various matters that night. In the early morning of the next day, the princes from all over the country led their own soldiers to come, and in only a quarter of an hour, they built a three-story high platform, on which were inserted black, white, red, yellow, and green five-color flags, and set up a white and yellow Yue, and prepared enough soldiers to seal the generals, and then invited the alliance leader Yuan Shu to come to the stage to pay respects.

Yuan Shu tidied up his clothes, pressed the sword in his left hand, slowly walked up to the platform, burned incense to the north and worshipped with his own hands, and respected the emperor of Luoyang, the emperor of heaven, and did enough façade work before he got up and recited the oath.

"The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Fearing the loss of the society, he entangled the volunteers and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, the ancestors and the Ming Spirit, are all learned!"

Yuan Shu finished reciting the covenant, and the princes present were in the blood alliance with each other, about brothers, everyone was full of emotion, stepped forward to drink blood wine, and waited until the alliance leader Yuan Shu walked down the platform, and took the lead in front of the big tent to sit down, the left and right lines were seated according to the age of each person's title, Liu Bei Gong added the last position, and did not care.

Cao Cao, the convener of the alliance, got up, drank with the princes present, and after three rounds, said with a smile: "Since the leader of the alliance has been established today, you should obey the dispatch and work together to help the country, and do not care about the strength or weakness." ”

Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, saw that everyone was silent, and immediately said: "Although the art is not talented, since he is promoted as the leader of the alliance, he will naturally 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. ”

After everyone heard these words, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground, and they got up one after another and said that they would not give up on the orders of the alliance leader.

Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, was very satisfied, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and my brother Yuan Yu has the grain and grass to meet the daily needs of the battalions, and there is no shortage of them." It's just that at the moment, one person is needed to be the pioneer and go straight to the challenge of Bishui Pass. The rest of them are in danger and think they will respond. ”

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian immediately came out of the ranks, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "I am willing to be the front and ask the leader of the alliance for the position of vanguard officer." ”

Yuan Shu knew that Sun Jian was brave and martial, so he didn't say anything about it, his eyes were on the left and right columns, and finally fell on Liu Bei, who was at the bottom, and he wanted to see what this clan was capable of.

According to the embroidered messenger who walked under the door, although this person was born in poverty, he was the leader of the local rangers. coincided with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the local counties recruited troops to deal with it, Liu Bei unveiled the list to join the army, summoned familiar ranger boys, and fought against the thieves, and as a result, he won consecutive battles, and even had an amazing record of 500 to 50,000, which is indeed a figure that should not be underestimated.

Liu Bei felt the scorching gaze of the alliance leader Yuan Shu, thought about it carefully, and repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, especially the advice of the trustworthy "Taoist general" Ye Zhiqiu, and got up unhurriedly.

"The guards of Bishui Pass are not known for the time being, and it is estimated that the first battle will be difficult, and Dong Thief may not send his righteous son Lu Bu to guard the pass, and the strength of this person is almost like a ghost. Brother Wentai is brave and martial, and can be a pioneer officer, and he is willing to assist from the side and transfer grain and grass. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, immediately cried and laughed, but had to agree to the wishes of the two. Sun Jian Sun Wentai glanced sideways at Liu Bei, and gently bowed his head inexplicably in gratitude, and Uncle Liu immediately smiled back.

Later, Sun Jian came out of the big tent and led the men and horses of his headquarters to kill Bishui Pass. Liu Bei and the two righteous brothers commanded their own army, far behind Sun Wentai.

The soldiers guarding the Bishui Pass were all unknowns, and when they found that the vanguard army of the alliance of the Kwantung princes was approaching quickly, they hurriedly sent fast horses to the Dongfu in Luoyang, the capital, to report the emergency.

The fast riding of one person and three horses, galloping wildly on the national highway in the countryside, the panicked footsteps, startling the waterfowl on the shore, frightening pedestrians on the road to jump into the water to avoid, and the figure of the dust going away began to stir the wind and clouds of Luoyang, the capital city of winter and spring.
