Chapter 91: Sun Jian, Bao Xin, and the soldiers headed straight for the Sishui Pass!
"You and I, brothers, are now in a low-key position.
And because of Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, he was implicated for no reason.
It is natural to be treated like this.
Those people look down on you and me, but you and I will do some big things right under their noses!
Tell them all to shut up!
Don’t you dare look down on others again!”
Liu Bei spoke out to comfort Guan and Zhang.
He actually felt a little unfair about what he had experienced today.
In addition, this was in front of two brothers and there were no outsiders. Therefore, Liu Bei did not pretend too much and showed some true temperament.
After Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei no longer mentioned the matter of leading the troops to leave and go it alone. They just held back a breath of anger in their hearts and were ready to take action at the appropriate time and severely slap the faces of these guys who looked down on others...
…
…
On the day when the alliance leader was decided, someone, under the arrangement of Yuan Shao's people, began to speed up the arrangement of the venue overnight.
Before dawn the next day, a large three-story platform was built.
By the time Yuan Shao and others arrived here the next day, the three-story platform had changed drastically.
It is dotted with flags from five directions, built with white flags and yellow axes, and military symbols and general seals.
Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, invited Yuan Shao to the stage.
Yuan Shao tidied up his clothes, took his sword with him, came forward with emotion, burned incense and bowed before him.
Then he raised his voice and said: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate, and the imperial authority has lost its authority.
The thief Dong Zhuo took advantage of provocations and indulged in harm, committing extravagant crimes and abusing the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the country, so they gathered righteous soldiers and went to the national disaster.
All our allies must work together to achieve integrity, and we must have no two ambitions. If we have an alliance with Chongqing, we will suffer the fate of others..."
After that, he personally beheaded the black ox and the white horse, and took the lead in smearing the blood on his mouth.
Everyone was so generous because of Yuan Shao's speech, and some even cried bitterly!
When he was smearing blood, he smeared the blood all over his face, as if the blood was not that of the black ox and the white horse, but that of the traitor Dong Zhuo...
After the blood-bathing ceremony is completed, the seats are arranged according to official titles, titles and ages.
Liu Bei, who was only the county magistrate at this time, still had no seat.
We can only do what we did yesterday, leading Guan and Zhang to stand behind Gongsun Zan.
Watching Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang and others drinking, eating, and talking loudly here.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Wang Kuang was the first to speak: "Today the leader of the alliance has been appointed, you should each listen to your orders and support the country together, and do not care about strength."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Yuan Shao spoke up: "Although Shao is not talented..."
After talking for a while, Yuan Shao asked someone to put up two white flags. On one side he wrote "Kuang Fu Han Shi" and on the other side he wrote "Revenge"!
He also began to deploy troops and horses, worked out some plans with his advisers, and prepared to send troops.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also proclaimed himself the Chariot and Cavalry General and carved the seal of the Chariot and Cavalry General...
Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongjiu, who were always paying attention to the movements of his brother Yuan Shao, after getting the news, immediately sent the order to Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who he had declared as the Polu general and the governor of Yuzhou, asking Sun Wentai to lead his troops immediately.
Attack Sishui Pass.
Prepare to get ahead of Yuan Shao's coalition forces and attack Luoyang!
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have always been at odds.
Brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are half-brothers.
However, Yuan Shao was the eldest son of a concubine, and Yuan Shu was the eldest son.
And Yuan Shao was later adopted to their uncle Yuan Cheng as his heir.
This is what makes Yuan Shu most unhappy with Yuan Shao.
In terms of blood relationship, as the legitimate eldest son, his status is much more noble than that of Yuan Shao, his younger brother!
But what makes people angry is that since he was a child, he, the eldest son of the fourth and third generation of the Yuan family, has always lived in the shadow of his younger brother.
Ever since he was a child, this foster brother has been constantly praised and received more resources than himself.
When he grew up, his adopted brother became a role model for the world, while he himself was a hungry ghost on the road...
Living in the shadow of his concubine brother who was far inferior to him for a long time made Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao continue to intensify.
The external manifestation of this dissatisfaction is that Yuan Shu always wants to compete with Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao has done many things, and he has to do them too.
It's not that he really wants to do these things, but because he wants to prove to the world that by doing the same things as Yuan Shao, his eldest son is better than his younger brother and is not as unworthy as the world sees.
!
For this reason, after seeing the message from Yuan Shao this time, Yuan Shu did not choose to lead people to find his brother.
Instead, he gathered Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, and prepared to do the same thing as his little foster brother.
In this matter, he wants to surpass it!
This proves to the whole world that he, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao, is better than that little foster brother!
…
Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, who could not wait for a long time, received Yuan Shu's order and food and immediately set off with his soldiers...
…
Here in Hanoi County, Yuan Shao, who has become the leader of the alliance, is discussing the military situation with his advisers.
"We must first send out a force of troops to attack Sishui Pass.
On the one hand, we want to show our determination to the world, and on the other hand, we can dampen the arrogance of Dong Zhuo's traitors.
On the other hand, it is to test the strength of Dong Zhuo's troops.
There are many things that can only be seen here and cannot be analyzed here. Only by actually playing a game can we draw conclusions."
Yuan Shao said this to Xu You and others.
"Yes, I heard that the highway has won over Sun Wentai over there, claiming that he also wants to help the Han Dynasty. We really need to send troops as soon as possible!"
Xu You on the side said.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but squeeze his hands tightly in his sleeves, and his nails dug into his palms.
"I wonder who the alliance leader thinks should be sent?"
At this time, Guo Tu, who was still subordinate to Han Fu, the Mu of Jizhou, glanced at Xu You, saluted Yuan Shao respectfully, and asked, but did not dwell on what Xu You said...
…
"Yuncheng is going here, be careful. I'm arranging the troops here and will arrange for people to come over as soon as possible to support you.
With so many people here, Yuncheng doesn’t have to worry about backup..."
Yuan Shaoman said this sincerely to a general in armor who was about the same age as him.
The general saluted Yuan Shao and said, "Leader, please rest assured, I will act with caution.
These soldiers and horses were originally ordered by the general to be recruited and trained, and now it’s time to put them to use!”
After that, he took the wine poured by Yuan Shao himself and drank it all in one gulp.
He bowed his hands to Yuan Shao and the other princes who were seeing him off here, then got on his horse and led the army from here, all the way towards Sishui Pass.
A big flag moves with the wind.
On the big flag, there are several big characters - Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei!
After leading his troops and leaving Yuan Shao and others, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin's seriousness disappeared, and there was even some sneer on his face.
"Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu? The Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes?"
He was sitting on the horse, muttering to himself, with a mocking expression on his face.
"Brother, do you think Yuan Shao can't succeed?"
Bao Zhong, who was riding a horse very close to Bao Xin, heard his brother's whisper, so he moved his horse closer and asked.
Hearing his brother's question, the ridicule on Bao Xin's face became even more intense.
“This man has all his fame, but he seems hesitant and too selfish when doing things.
Dong Zhuo had just entered Luoyang that day and had only a few thousand soldiers and horses. I then suggested to him to attack and kill Dong Zhuo.
He was afraid of Dong Zhuo's power and refused to take action. If he had taken action that day, why would he need to attack this strong and powerful pass today?"
After saying this, Bao Xin pursed his lips, and then said: "There were some things that I hadn't figured out before. After seeing Yuan Shao's majesty after becoming the leader of the alliance in the past two days, I gradually understood it again. Some other ideas.
When Yuan Shao didn't agree with me in launching an army to attack Dong Zhuo, he probably wasn't just afraid of Dong Zhuo's power.
Another reason is that Dong Zhuo is also a disciple and former official of his Yuan family!
He has a certain relationship with his Yuan family.
At that time, he may not have had the idea of getting something by doing something with Dong Zhuo.
Moreover, if Dong Zhuo had been killed back then, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu would have gained great honor and power, but they would not be able to surpass what they are now!"
Listening to what his brother said, Bao Zhong was a little stunned for a moment.
Because the amount of information contained in what my brother just said was too great and too shocking!
Bao Zhong's horse slowed down unconsciously.
After a while, he found that he was too far behind his brother, so he quickly rode up to catch up with his brother.
"But, these are all your guesses, brother, and they may not be true!"
After Bao Zhong swallowed his saliva, he looked at Bao Xin and whispered.
Hearing this, Bao Xin let out a long sigh: "I hope these are all my misconceptions and are not true."
"If brother thinks so, then why do you agree to Yuan Shao and send troops first?"
"Yuan Shao is now the leader of the alliance, and he is indeed preparing to attack Dong Zhuo. I do have many troops and are well-trained.
Some things always have to be done by someone. If you don't do it, I won't do it either. If everyone is making plans for their own selfishness, then the world will be completely ruined and Dong Zhuo can never be killed!"
Bao Xin said leisurely on the horse.
After saying that, he sighed again.
"What a pity for Cao Mengde!
How could it be lost in the hands of an unknown person!
Although Cao Mengde is just a eunuch, he is far inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of status, influence, and moral character, but I think he is a person who can do great things and stand out!
If Cao Mengde is still alive, in the end, he will be able to achieve far more than Yuan Shao!"
"It's such a pity that he died like that!"
"In the past few days, I have looked at the people who came to join the alliance, and I found that there is no one who can compare with Cao Mengde..."
Bao Zhong, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but said after listening for a long time: "Then Cao Mengde really has an elder brother who says he is so powerful?
Among the many figures today, none of them can compare to him?"
When Bao Xin heard this, he thought for a while and shook his head and said: "There are none of these that I have seen. Maybe there are other places, but I haven't found them."
After saying this, after a while, Bao Xin spoke again: "The previous person Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was considered to be, but he was too old.
Moreover, in this matter of challenging Dong, he did not really contribute, and he also formed an alliance to show off. The pattern is too small, inferior, and makes people look down upon!"
Time passed as Bao Xin criticized Yuan Shao and Tao Qian, and missed Cao Mengde. The army moved forward, shortening the distance to Bishui Pass...
…
"Pack up your things. I think it won't take long before we need to leave Luoyang and go to fight."
Inside the camp, Liu Cheng said to Liao Hua and Li Jin.
"My lord, do you think Dong Zhuo will send us to Sishui Pass?"
Liao Hua unconsciously touched his head and asked Liu Cheng.
"It's very likely that only Hua Xiong, Li Su and others are present at Sishui Pass, and the force is relatively weak. I killed Yuan Wei a few days ago and completely stood on the opposite side of Yuan Shao..."
Liu Cheng didn't hide anything, nodded and said aloud.
Liao Hua and Li Jin both nodded when they heard this...
After arranging things for Liao Hua and Li Jin in the military camp, Liu Cheng returned to his residence and started busy in the kitchen.
Today, he has sent someone to send an invitation to Cai Yong, asking Cai Yong and Cai Yan's father and daughter to come to his house. Of course, he must be more active.
Liu Cheng had no doubt at all whether the two of them would come over.
It's not that he has much confidence in his own charm, but that in the past few days he has recalled the mathematical knowledge he had learned before and written it down in more depth.
The person who had gone to deliver the invitation explained this to Cai Yong...
