This time the princes gathered at the Yuzhou camp. From the very beginning, it was Wang Lintao of Yuzhou who summoned the coalition forces to resist the army, and then he also took charge of the coordinating work.
But everyone never agrees that he is the leader of this alliance. Among the princes in the north, the King of Yuzhou is by no means the most powerful one. He doesn't even have a sense of existence. But because of this, he has preserved his strength and now has strong troops and horses.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang went to the meeting. They kept their eyes open all the way and took note of what they saw along the way. What did the Yuzhou soldiers do? What was the supply of individual soldier rations and weapons configuration? How to set up camp and how many cavalry there were... Their purpose this time was to spy.
Information from various states and places will always be useful in the future.
Walking all the way into the Yuzhou tent, other princes have arrived. Each is sitting in his own seat, watching the old god with his eyes and mind, as if he doesn't care about the things around him.
The three of them traveled thousands of miles to Liangzhou, with the smallest number of troops, the lowest status, and the most remote location. The three of them had no objections to this and sat down behind their desks.
Although the princes came together for the same thing, they did not deal with each other. For example, Li Xingzai and Li Xing had a battle not long ago, but now they can live in the same room calmly, which is strange to say.
The Liangzhou people were also related to Yanzhou, and the nephew of Yanzhou Wang Lei Tianyin died in the hands of Cheng Dalei.
Now that the Rong tribe is the common enemy of everyone, the past Liangzi can only be put aside for the time being. But putting it aside for the time being does not mean that it has not happened.
Lei Tianyin glanced at the three people in the corner and snorted coldly: "What do you mean by the surname Cheng? For such a big thing, only three little shrimps are sent here. It's better not to come at all."
Guan Yu took a long breath, and Liu Bei knew the situation was not good as soon as he saw it. His second brother was the most arrogant and respected him very much, and more or less gave Cheng Dalei some face. As for the others
It was not noticed by him.
However, the other party openly slandered Cheng Dalei, and Guan Yu had no choice but to continue.
"There is a saying that the troops are not numerous but fine. Yanzhou does have some troops. But this time the Rong tribe invaded in large numbers, what did Yanzhou do? I need to ask the prince about this?"
"Bold." King Yanzhou shouted: "What kind of place is this? Everyone present is a prince of the same place granted by the emperor. What qualifications does a person like you have to speak."
Guan Yu glanced coldly and widened his eyes angrily: "There will be no generals in the country, and the emperor doesn't know if he will survive tomorrow. Where are the princes and kings?"
"You..." King Yanzhou was furious, wishing he could cut him into pieces. However, the so-called anti-Rong coalition could not start a fight with the Rong tribe without fighting against them.
He was also bullying Guan Yu because he was weak. He had to follow up even if he said a few sarcastic words. The King of Yanzhou could not really destroy Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu would not bow his head at all and would not give in to tit-for-tat.
"Okay, okay." Li Xingzai smoothed things over: "Today's gathering is to discuss how to fight against the Rong people. We can't start a fight among ourselves and say less to each other."
The King of Yanzhou sat down angrily, unable to swallow his breath, thinking about how to give Guan Yu a good look.
The king of Yuzhou coughed slightly and said: "A snake cannot survive without a head. We are all gathered here and we still need to choose a commander of the army. What do you think?"
Everyone fell silent. The friction between King Yanzhou and Guan Yu just now was just a small conflict and not a big deal. However, the position of the leader of the alliance is of great importance.
Li Xing cleared his throat and said: "This time, I have volunteered myself. I am willing to be the leader of this alliance, and we will work together to fight against the bandits."
Li Xing proclaimed himself emperor in the south of the Yangtze River. In fact, he was considered a rebel, and he was on the same level as Cheng Dalei. But in today's situation, he cannot call himself me, otherwise other princes will not listen to him, and they will not listen to him.
After so many days of quarreling, the leader of the alliance has actually been determined to be between Li Xingzai and Li Xing. After all, both of them are considered royals, so they are justified.
After Li Xing finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Xingzai. Li Xingzai was more suitable than Li Xing. First, he was not a rebel, and second, his power was weak enough that everyone did not have to worry about being swallowed up by him.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang also looked at Li Xingzai. They had agreed last night that if Li Xingzai came forward, the three of them would support Li Xingzai.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingzai didn't say a word and seemed to suddenly disdain the position of alliance leader.
No one competed with Li Xing, so it became a matter of course for him to become the leader of the alliance. Li Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "With this national crisis, we should work together to support the country. I represent the Li clan here.
Thank you all.”
Li Xingzai was disdainful from the bottom of his heart: What qualifications do you have to represent the Li royal family, you are a young kid?
After determining the leader of the alliance, everyone should decide what to do next. There was another quarrel, but no result was achieved.
Now, it is either to enter Chang'an City and defend the city together with Li Letian. Or to control the Rong tribe on the periphery and reduce the scope of their activities. However, it is impossible for Li Letian to agree to enter Chang'an City. To control the Rong tribe on the periphery, he must cooperate with the Rong tribe.
The clan went to war head on.
After the meeting, everyone left the tent. Liu Guanzhang caught up with Li Xingzai who was limping away. Zhang Fei couldn't bear his temper and asked straight to the point: "Little prince, how can you give up the position of leader of the alliance to others?
"
If Li Xingzai wanted to fight just now, there would be no chance. But Li Xingzai smiled and said: "At this time, the first priority is to fight against the enemy. Other things are actually irrelevant. I hope you can do your part. Li Xingzai would like to thank you."
Already."
Zhang Fei was confused, Li Xingzai had already said goodbye and left. He planned to catch up and ask again, but was stopped by Liu Bei.
"That's all, that's all, I think I've guessed what he was thinking." Liu Bei said.
Zhang Fei looked at his eldest brother in confusion.
"Being able to lead all the princes is a blessing and a curse. If you win, it's easy to say, but what if you lose..." Liu Bei shook his head: "One person must bear all the infamy in the world."
"According to my opinion, brother, can this battle be won?"
Liu Bei shook his head: "Every prince has his own thoughts, and everyone's demeanor changes when they talk about it. How can we win a battle with such a situation?"
The three of them returned to their camp, and everyone gathered together. Guan Yu told them about Li Xing becoming the leader of the alliance. People kept coming back, bringing back information from their inquiries.
These people were dispersed in the morning, and of the 500 people, not many remained in the camp.
On the one hand, he inquired about the intelligence of various princes, and on the other hand, he sent people to spy on the movements of the Rong clan.
At night, Shi Wengong and Shan Xiongxin hurried back.
"General declaring customs, the Rong army has been mobilized and is galloping towards this place. Judging from the situation... they are coming for us."
The two of them were sent out to spy on the Rong clan's intelligence, and they would not rush back at the same time unless something serious happened.
Guan Yu was shocked: Could it be that instead of attacking Chang'an, the Rong tribe wanted to attack this coalition of princes?
