Hearing Cao Cao's confirmation that Yuan Shao was going to be the emperor, Hao Bai smiled faintly and said: "Why should I promise you, you must know that this is not good for me, besides, you are in the land of four wars at the moment, and you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, if I ally with you, I am afraid that there will be big trouble." ”

Cao Cao sighed and said bitterly: "I will give Sizhou to you, so there is no need to borrow the way, and after defeating Yuan Shao, how about dividing the northern land equally!"

Haobai blinked, looked at Cao Cao in disbelief, and gave Sizhou to him, is this really Cao Cao, how does it look like a fake.

But in any case, it is naturally good to be able to expand the territory, Haobai nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I will do it, but when will Sizhou hand it over to me." ”

Cao Cao's face showed a look of joy, and he said with a bright face: "As long as Yuan Shao is the emperor, when the army is dispatched, Sizhou will be given to you." ”

Haobai: "......"

It turns out that the pit is here, Yuan Shao said that he is not the emperor and it is not Haobai who has the final say, if he is not the emperor, then how to do it.

......

Just when Haobai agreed to Cao Cao's alliance and returned to the temporary mansion of Chengdao, he only got the edict of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, brought by the people in the palace.

Three days later, the Son of Heaven will set up a martial arts arena at the east gate of Xudu, and each of the heroes will send an elite army to perform martial arts, accept the review of the Son of Heaven, and let the princes prepare.

This is Liu Xie's military parade, obviously Cao Cao's demonstration, showing his imperial power as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is getting stronger and stronger, which makes Liu Xie unhappy for a long time, and now is the time to raise his eyebrows.

It seems that with the arrival of several princes, this little genius has become full of confidence, and he wants to sweep away the strength of the previous in front of Cao Cao.

......

Outside the east gate of Xudu, there is a three-foot-high, long-and-wide, point-and-general platform of more than ten zhang in length.

Liu Xie's big horse golden knife sat under the cover of Zhenghua, his expression was quite imposing in the world, the two palace maids behind him held a barrier fan, and then there were seven or eight palace maids who were like flowers and jade, ready to serve at any time, and then there were civil and military officials and princes from all walks of life.

In front of the Dianjiangtai is a wide open space, and there is a black army lined up in the distance on both sides, and the distance in the middle is more than a mile, in order to facilitate the parade.

Cao Cao, who was standing next to Hao Bai, had a gloomy look on his face, and his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.

And Hao Bai beside him was full of unpredictable smiles, and his eyes always glanced at Cao Cao's face intentionally or unintentionally.

The two stood side by side, Cao Cao was relatively short, and Haobai stood in front of Cao Cao, quite condescending, and this appearance was simply crushing.

However, Haobai's sly smile on his face was not because of Cao Cao's short height. It's because of Cao Cao's deflatedness.

For this military parade, Cao Cao was naturally very unhappy.

At this time, Yang Biao, who was too often, bowed forward and said to Liu Xiegong: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come." ”

Liu Xie's spirits were greatly lifted, and he immediately grabbed an arrow and threw it forward, and a small colonel flag soldier caught it forward, and went straight to the left army on his horse, shouting: "Spread that General Liu will perform martial arts in front of the formation!"

Let Liu Bei's soldiers go first!

Cao Cao, who was standing behind, changed his face and his eyes were filled with anger.

The strongest among the princes are Cao Cao and Haobai, so they should be the first to appear and finale, but it is a little reluctant to let Liu Bei be the first to be the first to say that he is a prince all the way.

Liu Bei is now Cao Cao's subordinate generals, and the previous holy decree allowed Haobai to draw a piece of territory for Liu Bei, but because he came to Xu Du, this matter has not been implemented until now.

A piece of dust slowly rose in the distance, and the infantry slowly lined up from the left, winding out like a long snake, and carefully looked at the past five hundred soldiers, each holding a sword in his right hand and a gun in his left, and quickly formed a phalanx in the center.

Before the army, a red-faced, long-bearded, eight-foot-tall general, he held the Qinglong Glaive in his hand, majestic and majestic, this was Guan Yu.

I only heard Guan Yu in front of the formation shout "Array!" and immediately formed a defensive shield formation.

The soldiers of the first row stand in front of them and crouch under the shield, the soldiers of the second row stand between the soldiers of the first row, raise their shields on the shields of the soldiers of the first row, and the spears extend from the cracks in the shields, ready to stab at any time, and the back of each two rows in turn, forming a huge shield array more than one person high.

Guan Yu shouted again, "Change formation!" again, and the sergeants quickly changed formation, forming an arrow-shaped formation.

Guan Yu stood at the arrow position, raised his long knife and shouted "Kill!" with a finger, and the arrow array moved quickly and rushed over, fast but not chaotic.

Guan Yu led the crowd to charge like thunder, stopped two hundred meters in front of the platform, and shouted "Crane Formation!" in the horizontal knife column, and the formation immediately spread out like stretching out its wings to form a semi-encirclement, which was a formation to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

After the formation was arranged, Guan Yu shouted "stay put", rode towards the Dianjiang platform, stopped fifty meters in front of the stage, turned over and fell off the horse, knelt down and shouted: "General Liu's Guan Yu has finished the martial arts, meet Your Majesty!"

After watching this Guan Yu parade, Haobai's face turned dark, this is simply too pit.

Haobai misunderstood before, thinking that the current military parade is also like that of later generations, lined up, and then waited for the leader to review, and said "Comrades have worked hard", and then carried out the column.

I didn't expect it to be like this at all, so I didn't prepare for it at all, and I'm afraid I'm going to lose face and lose my hair later.

As the soldiers and horses of the Han family, their performance was also excellent, Liu Xie naturally praised Liu Bei Guan Yu fiercely before he led the team back to the battle, and Liu Bei couldn't help but look a little proud.

The next appearance is the elite soldiers in the Jiangdong army, led by Sun Jian's fierce general Han Dang, this army is known for not being afraid of death, and a strong murderous aura is coming from afar, attacking and defending, and the tactics of attack are indomitable.

After the Jiangdong soldiers and horses finished performing, Liu Xie grabbed another arrow and threw it, and the junior colonel shouted, "Spread that Lu Bu's army is trapped in the camp to practice martial arts!"

Trapped!

Haobai's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes.

A hoplite of hundreds of men slowly stepped out, like a colossal steel monster.

More than 700 heavy infantrymen, all tall and strong, wearing fish-scale iron armor, holding a large iron shield more than half a person tall in their left hand and a long iron halberd in their right hand.

In this era, many soldiers couldn't even wear leather armor, let alone this kind of fish scale armor inlaid with thousands of pieces of iron densely, and the shields held by ordinary soldiers were wooden shields, and the better ones were covered with a layer of skin, and the shields covered with iron sheets were by no means owned by ordinary soldiers, but these soldiers held iron shields made of pure iron, which showed that they were well-equipped.

More than 700 people lined up neatly and orderly, all of them with firmness and fearlessness on their faces, exuding a boundless aura of slaughter.

The formation is in the shape of an awl, and a fierce general at the tip of the awl, like the other soldiers, holds a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other.

This person is eight feet tall, with a square face, a face full of perseverance and courage, and a tiger's back and bear's waist, which is Gao Shun, a fierce general under Lu Bu.
