Runan, an important town in the east of Yuzhou, is adjacent to Yangzhou and will enter Yangzhou two hundred miles east.

At this time, the Han army camp outside Runan City was full of people and banners were flying.

Boss Cao arrived here first with his own army, and then built a camp and waited for other coalition forces to come.

Although the size of the coalition this time was not as large as the last crusade against Fatty Dong.

But it should not be underestimated. Now with the development of Liu Xie's power, he already has a certain reputation among various princes.

This crusade against Yuan Shu and the northern expedition to Xianbei was an imperial edict issued by Liu Xie to all the princes in the world. No matter what their thoughts were, these princes just acted like it.

For example, Boss Cao raised an army of 100,000 troops and almost all his generals to prepare to destroy Yuan Shu in one battle.

It can be said that Boss Cao's 100,000-strong army is the largest among all the coalition armies of princes.

Next is the coalition army brought by Xuzhou Liu Bei and Lu Bu, with a total of 80,000 people. The leaders are the flying general Lu Bu and Liu Bei who is the Xuzhou herdsman.

Then there are the 50,000 Yulin Guards led by Liu Yao. These people are all elite soldiers.

As for the others, the surrounding princes also brought many soldiers, ranging from ten to twenty thousand, or even a few thousand.

But let's put it together, let Boss Cao gather an army of 300,000.

At this time, Boss Cao was sitting in his large tent of the Chinese army, looking at the generals sent by various princes in the tent, he suddenly had the idea that I, a big man, should be like this, and I am honored to do so.

"Everyone, we are gathered together today to follow His Majesty's decree to defeat Yuan Shu and conquer Xianbei in the north."

"So, I am waiting here and need to confirm a few things. For this alliance, we will attack Yuan Shu, form an alliance, and elect a leader to command the entire army."

"Everyone can speak freely, who else should be elected as the leader of the alliance?" Boss Cao, as the host, was the first to speak.

As soon as Boss Cao finished speaking, Liu Bei, who loves to show off and maintain his sense of presence, took the lead and said: "Mr. Cao is the General who has been appointed by His Majesty to conquer the South. Yangzhou is already under the jurisdiction of the General who has conquered the South."

"So, I think that Mr. Cao should be the leader of the alliance."

When Boss Cao heard Liu Bei's words, he grinned broadly, but he said: "No, no."

"Cao is so virtuous and capable that he cannot be the leader of the alliance. I think the emperor's uncle Liu Yao can be the leader of the alliance."

With that said, Boss Cao turned his attention to Liu Yao.

"Zhengli (characterized by Liu Yao), as the emperor's uncle and Yangzhou shepherd, is familiar with Shouchun, so he can be the leader of the alliance."

"You're welcome, Mr. Cao, but I can't beat a bereaved dog. I have to take it in and survive until now. I can't be the leader of the alliance. My dear brother Xuande, as the shepherd of Xuzhou and a relative of the emperor, can be the leader of the alliance."

"Brother is being polite, younger brother is being punished. I just got the post of Xuzhou Shepherd by luck. My foundation is too shallow to be worthy of such an important task." Liu Bei heard that Liu Yao recommended him to be the leader of the alliance.

He was instinctively happy in his heart, but then he thought that he couldn't agree to it.

There is no way, who let him have a low background?

But then, he turned his attention to his ally in Xuzhou, the flying general, the ghost god Lu Bu.

"Hey, brother Fengxian has a long history of martial arts and is the best in the world. Why not be the leader of the alliance?"

Lu Bu, who was sitting nearby and pretending to be serious, couldn't hold himself tight when he heard Liu Bei's words.

Lu Bu also coveted the position of alliance leader. Just as he was about to agree, he felt someone stabbing him in the back.

Lu Bu looked back and found that it was his confidant Chen Gong.

No matter how stupid Lu Bu is, he understands that this is Chen Gong reminding him not to agree.

Out of his trust in Chen Gong, he immediately said to everyone: "No, no, Bu is just a warrior and cannot be the leader of the alliance."

Then, he looked at Boss Cao on the side.

"Mr. Cao, at least when we were fighting against Dong, even though you and I were in different camps, Bu admired Gong Cao so much. In this battle, Gong Cao will definitely be the leader of the alliance, and Bu is willing to be the vanguard."

When Boss Cao saw the leader's position, he walked around in the big tent and it came back to him. He didn't say anything more.

"Since you all show your love so much, then Cao will do his part."

"Since Cao is the leader of the alliance, we also need to make an agreement. In this battle, we will work together to kill the national thief Yuan Shu."

"The military order has been issued. You must move forward bravely. You must not give orders or take a step back!"

"After this battle, Cao will report everyone's merits to the emperor in full. Please take credit for all the princes."

"Here!" Everyone in the big tent, upon hearing Boss Cao's general order, stood up and saluted Boss Cao.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Boss Cao smiled and pressed his hands to everyone, and then said: "Now that the position of alliance leader has been decided, we need to discuss who will be the vanguard?"

"Mengde, Bu, I want this vanguard position. Who wants to snatch it from me?" Lu Bu stood up immediately when he heard that the vanguard position was about to be arranged.

While saying these words, Lu Bu also looked around at the crowd.

Some generals, such as Taishi Ci, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc., also wanted to seize the position of vanguard.

But feeling Lu Bu's aggressive gaze, they gave in.

Although they didn't want to admit it, they all knew that if it was just one-on-one, everyone present was no match for Lu Bu.

Boss Cao also felt Lu Bu's pressure, so he smiled and said: "Since Fengxian is willing to act as a vanguard, then the position of vanguard will be given to Fengxian."

"Thank you Mengde." Lu Bu bowed his hands to Boss Cao and sat down.

"Okay, now that the arrangements have been made, let's do this for today. Everyone, go down and have a good rest. We will set off tomorrow for Shouchun!"

Just as everyone was about to get up and respond, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves coming from outside the tent.

"Report!"

"Lord, there is news from the Heavenly Army that they have arrived in Shouchun and launched an attack on Shouchun yesterday. However, they were defeated by Yuan Shu's military advisor Yan Xiang with heavenly fire. Currently, the Heavenly Army has retreated thirty miles and is stationed.

"After the messenger entered the big tent, he said to Boss Cao.

"Huh? The Heavenly Army was defeated?" Boss Cao was a little surprised when he heard the messenger's words.

He had also heard from players before. Their aggressive attacks and ability to resurrect after death gave Boss Cao a headache.

Unexpectedly, this group of players who were not afraid of death actually suffered a big loss from Yuan Shu.

He also rarely chose to retreat instead of continuing to attack. This really surprised Boss Cao.

Liu Yao on the side heard the news brought by the messenger, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then she understood the reason.

"What Duke Cao didn't know is that these heavenly soldiers are all soldiers and there are no counselors among them. Therefore, I think that the heavenly army does not know that counselors have the ability to decide a battle."

"In addition, Shouchun is Yuan Shu's home base. He must have had his formations prepared long ago. Only when the heavenly soldiers are unprepared can they be defeated in one fell swoop."

"However, with the ability of the Heavenly Army, even if they were defeated, there would be no casualties. To retreat at this time must be because the wise men among the Heavenly Army realized that they did not have the ability to defeat Yuan Shu's counselor alone, so they chose to retreat."
