Chapter 663 Dong Zhuo is the leader of the Nineteenth Route Alliance Army
Just when Cao Ning came out of Jiyuan, Dong Zhuo, under the planning of his counselor Jia Xu, used the "threat theory" to encourage all the tribes in the spiritual realm to unite to attack Cao's thieves, and promised to divide up all the four thousand horses originally owned by Lu Bu.
, which attracted various ministries to respond one after another.
In the large tent at Humen Pass, Dong Zhuo and his counselor Jia Xu personally greeted the princes who came to join the alliance.
Listening to the captain outside the tent constantly shouting about the number of generals and troops who had come to join the alliance, Dong Zhuo's thousand-year resentment that had been accumulated in his heart was suddenly wiped away.
He never dreamed that the man who was attacked by the nineteen princes a thousand years ago would have the opportunity to organize a coalition to attack others a thousand years later.
"Yuan Shao, the southern lord of Tiandang Mountain, led an army of 10,000 to join the alliance!"
"Yuan Shu, the north lord of Tiandang Mountain, led an army of 10,000 to join the alliance!"
"Han Fu, the lord of Yanming Mountain, led an army of ten thousand to join the alliance!"
"Ma Teng, the lord of Beichen Mountain, led an army of ten thousand to join the alliance!"
"Kong Rong, the lord of Donglin Mountain, led an army of eight thousand to join the alliance!"
"Sun Jian, the lord of Xiaolin Mountain, led an army of eight thousand to join the alliance!"
"The lord of Yandang Bay proposed Yang and led an army of four thousand to join the alliance!"
"Liu Biao, the master of Xiaobeichen Mountain, led an army of three thousand to join the alliance!"
"Liu Dai, the master of Mao'er Cave, led an army of two thousand to join the alliance!"
"The leader of Erdaogou, Zhang Miao, led two thousand troops to join the alliance!"
...
"Reporting to my lord, there are nineteen groups of princes who have come to meet with the alliance this time, with a total of 120,000 troops and horses. They have all arrived. The current details are submitted for your lord's review."
"Good, good, good, very good!"
Dong Zhuo said three good words in a row!
After receiving the list, he was even more overjoyed. He straightened his chest and said loudly: "Everyone, if you come to help me this time, I will be able to wipe out the thief Cao and restore a peaceful and prosperous age to our spiritual realm.
"
"Dong Gong Miao praised it! I never thought that after a thousand years, we would have the opportunity to gather here again, but this time it is to defeat Cao Cao."
Yuan Shao, a mustachioed man, held the inferior magic weapon he had just retrieved from Jiyuan in his right hand and came to the crowd and said loudly.
"Everyone, we were defeated by Cao Cao a thousand years ago. I believe everyone must have some resentment in their hearts. Although Cao Mengde is not seen this time, Cao Cao is equally hateful. This thief actually clamored to kill all the princes in our spiritual realm.
To exterminate, it is really arrogant in the extreme.”
"What my cousin said is absolutely true. This thief dares to openly provoke us, the Lords of the Spiritual Realm. He clearly doesn't take us seriously. We will definitely not let him go this time."
As Yuan Benchu's cousin, Yuan Shu was the first to stand up and express his support: "Let me see, the thief Cao is just relying on him to be the ferryman. What's so great about it?"
"Who among you here has not had the ferryman's blood on your hands?"
"I think we can take this opportunity to prove our worth to the underworld. Maybe we can all be recruited."
In the past, during the ferryman exams, everyone regarded the spirit realm as a good place to find treasures, and flocked in. Regardless of their strength, when they saw the soul general, they wanted to take it as a guardian spirit.
This also led to many weak ferrymen who were so ambitious that they were killed by the soul generals in the process and remained in the spiritual realm forever.
Now that I heard that Cao Ning was the ferryman, I naturally didn't take him seriously.
"Yes, yes, we people have been abandoned by the underworld in the spiritual realm for too long. We should have negotiated with the underworld long ago, otherwise we will be treated like embroidered pillows."
"I agree. I want us to send troops immediately to level Dingjun Mountain and kill those Cao thieves to sacrifice the flag."
"Hey, tell me, if that traitor Cao knew that we had gathered an army of 120,000 people, he would be so scared that he would pee his pants on the spot, hahaha..."
After what Yuan Shu said, he immediately won the unanimous approval of others, and many people stood up to agree.
However, Dong Zhuo, as the initiator of this alliance, had to look deeper. He knew clearly that Cao Ning was no clay sculpture and his strength should not be underestimated.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to lower his worth to join forces.
"Everyone, please be patient and calm!"
Dong Zhuo saw that the heat was almost over, so he stepped forward and suggested: "Although our opponent is a bit weaker this time, don't forget that there is a traitor named Lu Bu beside him. This person must be guarded against. To be cautious,
Therefore, I suggest that Yuan Benchu be elected as the leader of the alliance?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Dong must not do this."
Yuan Shao laughed awkwardly, but he still couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's little thoughts.
In fact, not only him, but everyone present knew that Dong Zhuo was retreating in order to advance.
When it comes to the strength of the entire coalition, Dong Zhuo is of course the strongest. If he does not serve as the alliance leader, how can others command and move him?
Isn’t that making yourself uncomfortable?
"Old fox!"
Yuan Shao muttered to himself, and then hurriedly excused himself: "This alliance depends entirely on Dong Gong. Without your support, how could we get together, so I propose that you serve as the leader of the alliance."
After saying this, Yuan Shao glanced at his cousin Yuan Shu, who immediately understood.
So Yuan Shu immediately joined the team of persuaders.
"Dong Gong, what my cousin said is absolutely true. Please stop refusing. If you refuse anymore, you will be looking down on me."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Dong, who among the gentlemen present is more suitable than you? Please don't refuse."
"Please take charge of Mr. Dong, and we will definitely follow Mr. Dong's orders."
After the Yuan brothers set the pace, others had no choice but to follow suit. After all, this was just a formality, and no one wanted to be singled out.
"This... oh, how can I, my boss, be so virtuous and capable... Anyway, if I don't accept it anymore, then I don't know how to appreciate him."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Dong Zhuo showed great helplessness and accepted the proposal.
Dong Zhuo sat on the commander's seat, smiled and waved his hands and said: "Since everyone thinks so highly of me, Mr. Dong, I will temporarily take over the position of leader. If there are talents in the future, I, Dong Zhuo, will definitely give up my position."
"Haha, Mr. Dong made a serious statement. You are well deserved to be in charge!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Dong Gongzhao has a kind heart and will definitely be able to lead the coalition forces to destroy the Cao thief."
On the surface, all the princes present were flattering, but in fact, they had already begun to curse in their hearts.
But who makes them weak? There is nothing they can do about it.
After Dong Zhuo took the throne, he was not polite and immediately discussed with the princes present how to attack Dingjun Mountain.
"Everyone, I have decided to send troops to surround Dingjun Mountain immediately tomorrow morning. This battle must bring out the momentum of our coalition forces, and we must let the underworld see our strength."
"What Mr. Dong said is absolutely true. Please give me the order. We will definitely obey it!"
Yuan Shao took the lead and stood up and held his hands, and all the princes behind him also responded: "Please give the order, Duke Dong!"
"Okay, if that's the case, then the generals will obey your orders!"
