The pottery merchant brought back the four brothers of the Pei family from the market in Suanzao County, and arranged for Xu Chu to select strong warriors from his clan's soldiers to form his own personal bodyguard, the Xuzhou Tiger Guard.
In history, the Tiger Guards were the only famous offensive infantry under Cao Cao. Among Cao Cao's powerful armies, their reputation was second only to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
It is said that the Tiger Guard was formed in the first year of Jian'an, that is, after Cao Cao welcomed the emperor Liu Xie and returned to Xudu. Its commanders and trainers were Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two most powerful warriors under Cao Cao.
One year after the formation of the Tiger Guard, Dian Wei died in Wancheng, so for more than 20 years, the leader of the Tiger Guard for Cao Cao was the tiger idiot Xu Chu.
Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, this warrior ended up in the pottery merchant's tent.
While at the jujube market, the pottery merchant met the so-called "fake Cao Cao" and the four brothers of the Pei family who were willing to follow him.
Tao Shang was very happy, thinking that this ready-made Tiger Guard commander was already under his command, so why didn't he make full use of his talents and present this famous attacking infantry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the world under his command?
Everything on the left and right has been stolen. Even the name "Tiger Guard" has been used as it is. It would not be free to change it randomly.
The left and right are all pirated copies, so why not hide them and just steal them to reveal their radiant and heroic spirit?
After this incident, Xu Chu selected one hundred and three of the strongest warriors among the clan's disciples. Counting the four brothers of the Pei family, and Xu Chu himself, there were a total of one hundred and eight people... This was the Xuzhou Tiger Guard.
The initial team.
For this number, the pottery merchant couldn't help but feel a little ashamed... One hundred and eight people, Tiangang Disha, are they going to rebel?
According to Xu Chu's idea, the current situation is not to have too many soldiers, but to have the best. Since it is a guard army, it is necessary to select the strongest and most durable warriors for detailed training. If there are too many people, it will be more than you can chew.
not good.
Tao Shang doesn't want to take care of the specific details of military training for the time being, he doesn't have time to take care of it, and he can't take care of it well.
Although he traveled from later generations, when it comes to the ability to train soldiers, Tao Shang feels that he may not have a say than the ancients. As for what later generations call physical training, skill training, standardization, mechanism, and systematic modern training methods
, the pottery merchant felt that it was nonsense to use it in ancient times. Firstly, the training system of soldiers was different. Secondly, cold weapons were different from the equipment of modern special forces. It was purely for self-imposed abuse.
…
…
Representatives from various princes have arrived one after another, and the alliance is about to begin.
Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, have arranged for their men to build an earthen platform in the north of Suanzao County and prepare pigs, sheep and livestock for sacrifice.
During the alliance between the various princes, they brought few troops and horses, so they were deployed in all directions of the county. The princes from all walks of life gathered in Yuan Shao's tent to listen to the announcement.
Yuan Shao's current official position is Bohai Prefect, which is not the highest. When it comes to family background, although Yuan Shao is noble, he is not the direct son of the Yuan family after all. In terms of official position, he does not have the rank of officer as Yuan Shu's general.
But in the current crusade against Dong Zhuo, all the princes recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. There is a reason for this.
The fundamental reason why Yuan Shao was able to surpass Yuan Shu and become the favored leader of the alliance was that his ability and personal behavior won the hearts of the people.
First of all, when Dong Zhuo deposed Emperor Liu Bian and established King Chenliu and Liu Xie as emperor, Yuan Shao, who was in Luoyang at the time, did not compromise. Instead, he chose to confront Dong Zhuo head-on and maintained a resolute opposition stance and attitude.
This is not something ordinary people can do and requires a lot of courage!
Secondly, before Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Yuan Shao was a key figure in the action of killing eunuchs, and he won everyone's praise for this incident.
As a result, Yuan Shu, who had the most hope of commanding the princes, watched helplessly as the crown of alliance leader fell on the head of Yuan Shao's "house slave".
According to Yuan Shu's character, he probably had to prick the villain with Yuan Shao's name on it every night.
A huge rift developed between the two brothers who originally belonged to the same clan.
When the pottery merchant walked into Yuan Shao's commander's tent, most of the princes were already there. After the pottery merchant lowered his head and announced his name to Yuan Shao, who was in charge, he didn't say much else and sat obediently beside the princes.
The very end.
No matter in terms of official position, reputation, or age, he was far inferior to the others present.
After the pottery merchant sat down, he looked up at Yuan Shao and saw that this famous overlord of Hebei in later generations was tall and slender, with a straight back and a formidable appearance. Although he was nearly middle-aged, he was still handsome.
Very...especially the confident smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel very friendly.
When the pottery merchant saw Yuan Shao's appearance, he was very surprised... This old boy was running for a man who was forty years old, but he was still so handsome and heroic. He didn't show signs of ageing at all, and he still allowed the little fresh meat to live.
...It’s really amazing and jealous at the same time.
After traveling back in time, Tao Shang once looked in a bronze mirror to see his appearance after rebirth... To be honest, Tao Shang felt that he was really handsome. He turned heads 98% of the time when he walked on the street.
The two percent who turn back are blind and stupid/x.
Although handsome guys generally cannot tolerate another handsome guy, the potter never thought that at his age, he would actually envy the appearance of a middle-aged uncle.
Now if there is a magic mirror, the potter will definitely ask the magic mirror who is the most handsome person in the world?
If the magic mirror's answer is Yuan Benchu, the pottery merchant will consider whether to give the alliance leader two kilograms of poisonous apples to taste in the name of tribute.
After seeing Yuan Shao's handsome face, Tao Shang's eyes casually glanced at the princes on both sides. The rest of them were basically crooked melons and cracked dates. They looked very comfortable, so Yuan Shu took a look.
He's quite handsome... It doesn't matter, I'll give him a poison apple later!
Where his gaze paused, he saw a dark and thin face.
The potter's pupils suddenly dilated!
Cao Cao stared at the pottery merchant with a complex expression, his small eyes twinkling, and the right eye socket was as dark and purple as a giant panda's. The eye sockets were congested and twitching, and he seemed to be in pain.
The potter's sweat dropped instantly.
With all the princes here, it would be inconvenient for Cao Cao, otherwise they would definitely pounce on him and bite him.
……………………
After a while, after the last few princes arrived, everyone sat down, and the alliance meeting officially began.
Yuan Shao looked around at everyone, and suddenly his eyes stopped on Cao Cao's face, and asked curiously: "Meng De, why is your face swollen?"
The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched when he heard this, but it inadvertently caused the wound around his eye socket, which made Cao Cao gasp in pain.
"hiss"
Yuan Shao was surprised: "Mengde, what are you..."
"I fell... I fell, it's okay." Cao Cao didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.
"Did you fall?" Yuan Shao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You fell...how come both sides of your face are swollen? You fell very well...then what happened to your eyes?"
Cao Cao deliberately glanced sideways at the pottery merchant and said calmly: "It's a dog bite."
Potter: "…………"
Tao Shang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. This living treasure was actually Cao Cao... Beating Cao Cao was the most earth-shattering thing he had done since he returned from time travel, right?
But this black guy actually accused Sang and Huai of calling himself a dog... This was a bit too much, and the beating was too light.
Yuan Shao became more and more confused the more he listened.
The world is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits... Why do dogs in troubled times turn into spirits? They can bite people until their eyes turn blue?
But no matter how doubtful Yuan Shao was, he didn't say anything more...Cao Cao was his close friend. Personally speaking, Yuan Shao cherished this friendship between them very much.
"Everyone!" The conversation changed. Yuan Shao stood up and looked at everyone and said generously: "Thank you for your respect! I recommend you to be the leader of the alliance to defeat the Dong thieves and help the Han Dynasty. Shao is deeply concerned about it! We are gathering here today for the purpose of
It is to discuss how King Qin and the savior should raise troops and how to formulate an army strategy?"
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, smiled and said: "Since we have publicly recommended Ben Chu as the leader of the alliance, we should follow Ben Chu's lead and obey the orders of the leader in everything."
Liu Dai's words seemed to have spoken to Yuan Shao's heart. After living for many years, although he was born in the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shao's identity has always been that of a concubine... The good resources and connections in the family are basically
You can use Yuan Shu first.
Yuan Shao described himself as handsome, handsome, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. However, because his biological mother was a concubine, he was treated like this. Yuan Shao felt very unhappy... to the extreme.
Yuan Shao's father, Yuan Feng, adopted him to his brother Yuan Cheng because of his status as a concubine. However, Yuan Cheng had already passed away at the time of the adoption... and Yuan Feng's foundation and resources naturally fell on Yuan Shu.
Every time he thinks about this, Yuan Shao wants to take his father out of the graveyard and slap him...
Unexpectedly, the world is governed by filial piety. Yuan Shao wanted to think about it, but he couldn't do it.
It was not until the past few years that Yuan Shao finally became proud and proud, gradually regaining his disadvantage and overtaking Yuan Shu, gradually establishing his position in the Yuan family.
Especially this time, he was elected by all the princes in Guandong as the leader of the alliance against Dong, which made Yuan Shao's prestige rise sharply, and he completely became the leader of the Yuan family.
This feeling is so comfortable.
"President Liu is too complimentary. With Shao's ability, assuming the position of alliance leader is an act of arrogance... With the prestige of Prefect Liu, Governor Wang, Han Jizhou, Governor Qiao, General Bao, etc., they are enough to hold such a great position. If not for the humility of all the princes,
How can it be my turn to be Yuan Shao's? Moreover, formulating strategies is related to the great plan to save the country, and it cannot be planned by all the wise men!"
After what he said, everyone nodded and secretly praised Yuan Shao for his high character, but Yuan Shu was the only one who sneered inwardly.
Yuan Shao just said that his talents and reputation were not worthy of a big position, and he named a bunch of people who could be the leader of the alliance, but he did not mention Yuan Shu.
What does it mean?
In terms of official position, prestige, and power, among the people Yuan Shao mentioned just now, which one can be compared with Yuan Shu? Yuan Shao mentioned such a large number of people, but did not mention Yuan Shu. The implication is that he is not deliberately belittling.
Is it just me?
Yuan Shu sneered in his heart, but his face was expressionless. However, when his slender eyes looked at Yuan Shao, they were already full of coldness.
