The leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao, together with Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, Emperor Liu Bei of Shu and many leaders of forces, warmly welcomed them.
"Brother Wentai has lived in seclusion for many years, but now he has come out for the sake of the people of the country. His righteousness is so great that we will thank you!"
As soon as they met, Wei Emperor Cao Cao took the lead in greeting Sun Jian, the Emperor of Wu Lie, who was walking in front of him warmly and affectionately, and complimented him without any extraneous words.
Seriously speaking, Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, Emperor Liu Bei of Shu, and Emperor Sun Jian of Wu Lie. Among the three, Sun Jian was the oldest, but he was of the same generation. They all single-handedly created an empire and dynasty. Sun Ce was slightly inferior, regardless of seniority.
Still an achievement.
In addition, Sun Jian, Emperor Wu Lie, was born. Although Emperor Wu is now Sun Ce, Sun Jian is naturally in charge. This is the huge difference between the founder and the successor.
"I'm so lucky to meet Brother Wentai!"
"Congratulations to Brother Wentai for your great improvement in cultivation and strength, and for being able to show off your talents this time!"
"Emperor Wu Lie, long time no see, you still look like you!"
…
Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and many other people greeted him warmly. After all, Wu Jun was recognized as one of the five main forces in "challenging Dong heroes" and it was a dynasty.
"Hmph! Everyone is so excited. Such a large army can actually make the enemy troops in the pass run to the rear... I have learned a lot!"
It's a pity that Sun Jian didn't give him a good look. He snorted with obvious dissatisfaction and mocked in a cold voice.
Looking from a distance, the coalition of heroes stretches out as far as the eye can see. Evil clouds cover the sky and the sun. It is probably difficult for anyone to estimate how many people there are in the coalition of heroes.
However, it is simply unbelievable that so many troops could not completely block Tianguan.
Although the Dong-Lü coalition led by Hua Xiong might have left the border in advance to ambush. However, the Wu army was indeed careless this time. They rushed to join the alliance in a hurry and fell into an ambush. Cao Cao was the first to arrive, so there was no reason for him not to know about it.
, otherwise Cao Cao would not be able to become Emperor of Wei.
In this way, his heart can be punished, but his meaning is much more...
Everyone was silent, no one was stupid, and they naturally understood what Sun Jian meant.
"Cough! Cough..."
Yuan Shao coughed several times and quickly explained:
"Brother Wentai has misunderstood! This alliance leader can guarantee that until just now, we have never received any news of anyone passing through Tianguan!"
"I hope so!"
Sun Jian didn't want to think too badly of the heroes in the world, so he said something dryly.
From this point of view, Sun Jian's character is actually very similar to that of his eldest son, Sun Ce. They are both forthright and straightforward people. It's just that their background experiences are different, and "older people are hotter", Sun Jian is more stable and rational than Sun Ce!
On the other hand, Sun Quan, the second son of Sun Jian, is a different kind of person. He is recognized as the civil and military pride of Wu along with Sun Ce.
"That's definitely the case, I guarantee it!"
Seeing that Sun Jian did not hold on, Yuan Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reassured him again, and then greeted:
"Now that the Wu army has arrived, the only thing left is the Xiangyang army! The Xiangyang army will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we can launch a general attack..."
"please!"
Sun Jian was not a stingy person either. After venting his anger and warning, he responded politely.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone took the trouble to come to the alliance. Naturally, they didn't want to have internal strife on their own side before the big thing was accomplished!
At this moment, Zhou Yu took a step forward and reported loudly in public: "Lord! This time our army was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, especially the logistics supplies, which were basically destroyed. Our army's food and grass alone can only last less than five days.
It’s time…”
"Um?"
Sun Jian was startled, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also stopped in their tracks.
In this ambush in Surabaya, the Wu army suffered heavy losses on the surface. A total of eight million troops came to join the alliance, known as an army of tens of millions, and the troops stretched for nearly a hundred miles.
After the ambush in Surabaya, the Wu Dynasty army suffered heavy losses. Countless logistical supplies were damaged and burned. The army lost nearly three million, accounting for more than one-third of the total army. This is not a secret. Given the power present, naturally
Can know.
However, the real losses of the Wu Dynasty's army were less than one million, far less than what they appeared to be. The rest were simply defeated and dispersed by Dong and Lu's elite troops, and they were basically ordinary troops, not elite troops.
The soldiers of the Wu Army basically came from Jiangdong. Among the defeated soldiers, 10% of them would return to the Wu Dynasty, and most of them would return to the Wu Army. Otherwise, they would become deserters, and the consequences would be serious!
Without waiting for anyone to think or say anything, Zhou Yu raised his hands and begged Yuan Shao with a pleading look on his face:
"Now our army has been summoned to return to the court and ordered to urgently mobilize supplies. However, the journey is far away and it will take half a month at the fastest! As the leader of the alliance, can Mr. Yuan Long temporarily solve our army's food and grass problem?"
"ah?"
Yuan Shao was stunned and couldn't react for a moment. His face twitched obviously for several times. His pain and hesitation were very obvious. He looked at Cao Cao, Liu Bei and other powerful forces.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others had a tacit understanding of their eyes drifting, or looking at the nose and nose, looking around, looking up at the sky, etc...
After the ambush in Surabaya, the size of the Wu army that came to join the alliance was still as high as five million, and their daily consumption was astronomical.
It can be said that if it were not for logistical problems, all the forces present could basically produce several times the current army, not just this. Especially the Wei Empire, which is recognized as the strongest force, has only 500 troops, which is indeed too shabby.
Yes, so Wei Emperor Cao Cao, who was the initiator, lost his position as leader of the alliance, so he accepted it and had no objections!
You are so tight yourself, why do you still need to support others?
Beautiful thought!
"Haha... Of course, in this alliance, we will fight against Dong's thieves together, and we will naturally work together. I believe that everyone will help each other and work together to solve Wu Jun's problems!"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yuan Shao's face turned a little blue, so he bit the bullet and said, "Haha, toothache." After a pause, he directly asked by name:
"Really? Emperor Wei? Emperor Shu?"
"Of course..."
Wei Emperor Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and answered bravely, but he cursed secretly in his heart:
"Scheming and indecisive, with great ambition and little wisdom, this guy is not something to be afraid of!"
"As it should be!"
Liu Bei, who was named, responded with sincerity and righteousness, and cursed secretly in his heart:
"You cherish your life when you do big things, but forget your life when you see small profits! What a mediocre person!"
Even the other people present had different expressions, but their feelings and evaluation of Yuan Shao plummeted!
The world will unite and everyone will pay attention.
Don't underestimate the "fake name" of the leader of the alliance, otherwise Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will not secretly plot to rob!
The most realistic Cao Cao would not take the risk to assassinate Dong and express his righteousness.
In this world, how many people can look down upon the word "name"? What can be done without the word "name"?
Practically speaking, in addition to many forces, there are countless heroes and martyrs from all over the world who came to this alliance. Being able to serve as the leader of the alliance will naturally make you famous, and it will be known to everyone in the world.
In just these few hours, after Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, countless celebrities, martyrs, heroes, etc. have come to join us, and many forces have shown their support.
The potential value of the leader is immeasurable.
This is "name"!
However, after this incident, Yuan Shao's reputation as the "alliance leader" suffered an invisible blow and suffered several losses.
It's a pity that Wu Xin arrived too late after all, otherwise Wu Xin would have had past life memories and more clearly understood the value of "fame" and would have definitely fought for it at any cost.
