This is the third time Long Fei has come to Hulao Pass. Different from the previous two times, the first time he was a white body and he borrowed it; the second time he was a school captain and came secretly; the third time he had become a senior The generals of the Han Dynasty came with a mighty force. Lu Bu took the lead, Long Fei was second, and Li Ru was third. Zhang Ji greeted him at the city gate. The moment he saw Long Fei, he felt very uncomfortable. But Long Fei was very I am happy that I am now a general like Zhang Ji. I remember Zhang Ji looked so arrogant the first time. Looking at it now, I feel much more comfortable.
In the court that day, Dong Zhuo unexpectedly agreed with Liu Xie's statement and said that Liu Xie had grown up and that he had done the right thing in abolishing the establishment of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Han Dynasty have such a cadre? The arbitrary emperor immediately asked people to draw up a decree and appointed Wenhou Lu Bu as the general of the town army, Longfei as the general of Yang Wei, and Li Ru as the supervisor of the army. He led 30,000 troops to Hulao Pass.
Another 30,000 elite troops were added, and the morale of Hulao Pass was greatly boosted. The allied army camp outside Hulao Pass was also full of singing and dancing, and there was a lot of joy. Yuan Shao smiled and smoothed his beard, which was just enough for a handful, with a proud look. After Cao Cao issued the edict, all the princes responded one after another. A total of eighteen groups came forward, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, thousands of generals, and all kinds of equipment. How could Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, be unhappy with such a formation.
Xingyang was conquered by Sun Jian, and the protagonist tonight was naturally Sun Jian. The princes from all walks of life tried to persuade him to drink, but Sun Jian laughed loudly and refused to accept anyone who came: "I am not boasting, Sun Jian, if I have 30,000 troops, I can attack Luoyang beheaded Dong Zhuo!"
Everyone agreed. Cao Cao picked up his wine glass and said, "General Sun is so heroic and heroic. He is truly worthy of being the vanguard of our army! Come on, cheers!"
As Sun Jian's direct leader, Yuan Shu was a little unhappy. Sun Jian came from Changsha, and he was the first to defect to him. He introduced Sun Jian here. After Sun Jian made such a great contribution, he should at least get some credit for himself, right? But today, this His attitude was none of his business, and he felt a little angry, drinking alone.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Kong Xiu, the governor of Yuzhou, picked up their wine glasses, walked around the crowd, and walked to Yuan Shu. The three of them drank a glass, and Kong Xiu sighed: "Hey! The world is unfair! Sun Jian's attack on Xingyang would not have been possible if it had not been for the great efforts of the generals behind him. How could he be so successful in helping each other with food and grass? Now all the credit goes to him! Alas!"
"Isn't that right?" Liu Dai said: "Everyone is looking at the heroes in front of the battle. Who knows who we are behind the scenes!"
"Humph!" Yuan Shu snorted coldly and glanced at the two of them: "If you two have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to sigh here!"
"General Hou! We are being unfair to you!" Liu Dai said: "I don't think Sun Jian came from Changsha, but he actually defected to the general. The general helped him to capture Xingyang, but now he only wants the credit. This is really chilling. But the leader of the alliance turned a blind eye, and we are even more unwilling to do so. If we wait to attack Luoyang in this situation, what will we gain?"
"Yes!" Kong Xiu quickly caught it: "Originally, we didn't expect anything in return. We are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. We share your Majesty's worries and do our best for the Han Dynasty. But I just can't stand these arrogant people who take credit. , a small governor of Changsha is so powerful, why not go to heaven if he captures Luoyang?"
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes for a long time and looked at Liu Dai and Kong Xiu on both sides: "Then what can you two do?"
Kong Xiu smiled and muttered in Yuan Shu's ear for a while. The more Yuan Shu listened, the more frightened he became. Before Kong Xiu could finish speaking, Yuan Shu waved his hands repeatedly: "If you do this, if the matter is exposed, I will have no place to stand!"
"
Liu Dai smiled and said: "If the matter is exposed, the general can push the matter to Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou. The leader of the alliance is worried that he will not have a chance to deal with Han Fu. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will never be missed. Besides, the general and the leader of the alliance will not let go.
But brother, how can one family harm another family?"
"I won't gain anything by doing this?" Yuan Shu still shook his head.
Liu Dai immediately said: "Even if we have no benefit, we can't let Sun Jian steal the limelight. If this continues, I think Sun Jian's tail will be raised to the sky. He will not take the general seriously in the future. The two of us
It doesn’t matter, the general’s Nanyang is not far from Changsha, so be careful.”
Although Yuan Shu said nothing more, the look on his face had betrayed him. Liu Dai and Kong Xiu looked at each other and left Yuan Shu silently. The whereabouts of these people just now were revealed by the Prime Minister of Jibei who had been sitting in charge.
Bao Xin saw it clearly. He shook his head slightly and drank alone. Bao Xin was the most understanding among these people. When he was still serving as the cavalry captain in Luoyang, He Jin wanted Dong Zhuo to come to Beijing. Bao Xin
He persuaded Yuan Shao again and again, but Yuan Shao didn't listen, and Dong Zhuo later caused chaos in the government.
Now that the princes are gathering together, Bao Xin responds to Cao Cao's call and leads an army of 10,000 people. As soon as he enters the camp, he begins to regret it, so he is not so active. Tonight's banquet, Bao Xin just sits there
Watching what happened, Liu Dai and Kong Xiu encouraged Yuan Shu, and Bao Xin knew exactly what they were going to do. Even before they arrived in Luoyang, the intrigues had already begun, and there was no need to think about what would happen next.
Although Bao Xin was not interested in banquets and secret fights between princes, he was very curious about the three people behind Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Peking across the street. These three people looked strange, and the leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in gray cloth.
The clothes, the stature is not tall, the nose is straight and the mouth is square, and he has the look of an elder; the most conspicuous thing is the two ears, which are so big that they almost catch up with the face. If you move a little, the ears will flash back and forth;
With those two arms, he is not an expert but is very long. In addition, he has some bow legs, so when he stands like that, his hands can almost reach his knees.
There is a big man standing on each side of this man, all of them are strong men, not very old. On the left is a red-faced and bearded man. He squints his eyes and can't see his eyes. He doesn't know whether he is asleep or awake. This man's chest has a special
He has a small bag hanging up to hold his beard, which shows that he has some quirks. The one on the right has a black letter, even charcoal is whiter than him, and his two big eyes seem to pop out of their sockets, like steel needles
The roots of the beard stood up and stretched out, as if a single touch could make a hole.
When the middle-aged man saw Bao Xin looking at them, he nodded and smiled slightly. Bao Xin also nodded slightly. Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai on the side, asked: "Master Bao, who are the three people behind Gongsun Zan?"
Bao Xin smiled slightly: "The middle-aged man's surname is Liu Mingbei from Xuande. He claims to be Queen Jing of Zhongshan. He used to be a gangster who weaved mats and sold shoes. The two people next to him are his sworn brothers. The red-faced one on the left is named Guan Yu.
, is a murderer on the run, the one on the right is called Zhang Fei, a butcher who kills pigs and dogs. These three people joined the army since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and successively followed Lu Zhi to earn the title of Anxi County Lieutenant, but were dismissed as eunuchs due to grudges.
Later, he followed Guanqiu Jian to Xiapi to recruit troops, and served as magistrate of Gaotang County. However, the county was captured by bandits, and now he is staying with Gongsun Zan. I don’t know what his official position is."
"Oh! That's it!" Kong Rong nodded: "So, he is really a descendant of the royal family?"
Bao Xin shook his head: "There are many descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan. It seems that these people have no way of checking them. If you believe that they are, you will not believe if you don't!"
The banquet slowly entered the climax. Everyone drank almost the same amount. Sun Jian was very happy. He had accomplished such a great feat in the first battle of the alliance. He was a little erratic. He couldn't let go of others in his eyes and couldn't speak at all.
He didn't grow up, and he didn't pay attention to the state pastors, governors, prefects and others present here: "Dong's thieves have done many evil things, and the people of Luoyang are still intolerable. As soon as we wait for the army to arrive, the people will respond in groups, and we can capture them in an instant
Luoyang, tomorrow I am willing to lead the troops to attack first, break through Hulao Pass and rush to Luoyang!"
Cao Cao said: "Master Sun, please be careful. The spies have reported that Hulao Pass has been increasing its troops recently. There are currently 70,000 troops. Lu Bu and others are also coming. Don't underestimate it!"
"Lü Bu, a servant of the third surname, a capricious villain, a brave and foolhardy person, there is nothing to worry about!" Sun Jian stood up and pushed the generals behind him to the front: "Everyone of these generals under me is a master.
He has courage that no man can match. No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, he is still one person. He can't beat four hands with two fists. I have confidence!"
"Okay!" Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "General Sun is brave and brave. As long as General Sun captures Luoyang, I will declare in front of your majesty that General Sun will be the General of Zhennan!"
The more they talked, the more lively they were, and everyone was excited, as if they were about to enter Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo had already died under their swords. Someone suddenly laughed, and the laughter echoed in the tent. Everyone searched for a long time,
Only then did he realize that it was Zhang Fei who was behind Gongsun Zan. Zhang Fei's laughter almost overturned the entire tent, and everyone looked at him. Zhang Fei said: "Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the world, and you are so shameless that you want to bully the smaller ones with more."
, only you can think of such despicable means!"
Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and his face darkened: "Who are you, how dare you roar loudly here?"
"After Prince Jing of Zhongshan, the descendant of Emperor Taizu, Liu Bei of Zhuo County! These two are my sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!" Liu Bei hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fei and saluted Yuan Shao: "My younger brother just offended me.
I hope you will forgive me!"
"Liu Bei?" Yuan Shao looked around. Everyone shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know each other. Yuan Shao asked again: "You are also here to meet the alliance? What is your official position?"
"Uh..." Liu Bei hiccupped for a long time and then said: "The lower official has served as an Anxi county captain and a Gaotang county magistrate. Now he has no official position and is living with Gongsun Xiandi, the prefect of Peking!"
"Hmph!" When Yuan Shao heard that it was a white man, he immediately said angrily: "This tent is where we discuss military and state affairs, and you villains are actually here. Come and blast these three people out!"
Hu la la, a dozen guards with weapons in their hands rushed in. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu hurried forward, blocking Liu Bei behind them. Kong Rong hurriedly stopped everyone, saluted Yuan Shao and said: "Master Yuan, now the enemy is here.
One more person means more strength. These few have very good looks and must be brave people. They are all trying to defeat Dong Daye. Besides, Brother Liu is also a descendant of Taizu, so let’s spare them this time."
Cao Cao also said: "Yes! Since they are descendants of Taizu, they naturally come here to challenge Dong. Why should they be let go from the beginning?"
Yuan Shao said: "Descendants of Taizu? Is there any real evidence? Those who pretend to be royals should be beheaded. Why are you standing there in silence? Blow these three guys out!"
