Lu Dynasty

Chapter 200
By the way, Dong Zhuo assigned the attack mission, and I formed a team with Hua Xiong and Hu Zhen.I know that our first battle was to bully Bao Zhong, and the second battle should be to bully Sun Jian.Then according to "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it should be the most famous warm wine and chop Hua Xiong.But Guan Yu is already under my command, and he is now bullying foreigners with Zhang Fei on the Jiuyuan Prairie.Isn't Hua Xiong invincible?I remember that Yuan Shao did not bring Yan Liang and Wen Chou with him when the feudal lords begged for Dong.It would be fun if the Kwantung Allied Forces, who were able to get Dong Zhuo to escape to Chang'an, couldn't even break through the Sishui Pass.

Our side is frantically preparing for the battle, and Yuan Shao and Cao are not idle either.The princes of the eighteen routes gathered together and went to their villages, connecting more than two hundred li.Cao slaughtered cattle and horses, entertained all the princes present, and discussed the strategy of advancing troops together.Lao Cao is using other people's money, so he doesn't feel bad at all.Eighteen princes, meat alone is enough for Cao to digest.Fortunately, Cao Pang fell in love with the rich man Wei Zi, Wei Zi's Wei family is a big family, even Wei Zhongdao's family is just a side branch of Wei Zi's family.Otherwise, I guess before the war starts, Cao will be out of the way, and the money and food will not be enough!

As soon as the banquet started, Wang Kuang jumped out and said, "As the saying goes: A snake without a head can't do it. If we have so many princes attacking Dong Zhuo together, if we go our own way, wouldn't it be a mess? Why don't we recommend a leader to lead us to fight against Dong Zhuo? Great to unify orders!" To be honest, Wang Kuang is quite a shrewd kid.He has a total of no more than [-] troops, and he dies when he dies.Originally, he had no hope that he would be able to fight for hegemony in the world, because he was the prefect of Hanoi, and Hanoi was too close to Luoyang, so it can be said that it came from morning to evening.Now he pleases these princes, and no matter how bad he is in the future, he can still have a good relationship.

Cao said: "This Yuan Shao and Yuan Yuan originally belonged to the fourth generation and the third prince. After the famous ministers of the Han Dynasty, there are many disciples and old officials. Let's choose him as the leader!" Cao's words made Yuan Shao very happy, but Yuan Shu was not happy!Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both members of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu is the legitimate son, and Yuan Shao is the concubine son.However, Yuan Shao's ability was stronger than Yuan Shu's, so Yuan Kai, the head of the Yuan family, valued Yuan Shao more.This made Yuan Shu very unconvinced, and he wanted to compete with Yuan Shao in everything he did.In fact, in my opinion, the two brothers are pretty much the same, the only difference is that Yuan Shao likes to provoke others to cause trouble, and he stands behind to gain some advantage.But Yuan Shu likes to rush forward by himself, and he often gets unlucky in the end.

Seeing Cao recommending Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied.In the eyes of the aristocratic family, the legitimate son is much more noble than the concubine son.Because the legitimate son is born to the regular wife, and the concubine is born to the concubine.The status of concubines is equal to that of cattle and horses.Moreover, in ancient times, the eldest son inherited the law, and only the eldest son could inherit most of his father's property and title, so in Yuan Shu's heart, Yuan Shao was nothing, and he had no right to say that he was the successor of the fourth generation and third prince. Only he, Yuan Shu, could inherit this reputation.

It's a pity that Cao's proposal was unanimously approved by all the princes as soon as it was put forward.After Yuan Shao repeatedly declined, he 'reluctantly' assumed the position of leader.No one in the room thought that Yuan Shu was also the descendant of the fourth generation and third prince, and no one thought that Yuan Shu was the direct son of the Yuan family.Even Yuan Shu's nominal general, Sun Jian, agreed with Yuan Shao's appointment as leader.Now Yuan Shu was furious, and even Sun Jian hated him.

Now that the alliance leader has been selected, it is necessary to sacrifice heaven and drink blood as the alliance.To be honest, there are too many people in ancient times.Just fight, but you have to sacrifice to the sky, and after the sacrifice to the sky, you have to sacrifice the flag, and you will be in trouble.

The next day, the allied forces built a three-story high platform, and placed five flags next to the platform, and there were also Baiyan Huangyue on it, and the soldier's talisman was printed.Then the princes invited Yuan Shao to the high platform.

Yuan Shao dressed up and armed with a sword, stepped up to the high platform generously, burned incense and worshiped the sky: "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate, and the emperor's order is out of order. The traitor Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of provocations and indulging in harm, harming the supreme, and abusing the people. Shao and others are afraid of the loss of the country. , unite righteous soldiers, and go to the country. All our alliances, working together, so that the ministers will have no two ambitions. If you have this alliance, you will lose your life, and you will not be able to inherit it. Learn from it all!"

After Yuan Shao finished reading the oath, he dipped his finger in the blood of an unknown substance in the bowl and smeared it on his face, and the princes under the platform did the same.Then he poured the blood taken up with his fingers into the wine, and everyone drank it.These princes are really unhygienic, what if they have diarrhea!Could it be that while fighting a war, they also asked people to wait for them to come out?In the end, the princes smashed the wine bowls together, which means that the blood drinking is over.I don't know whether to praise them or laugh at them.

Back in the central army tent, the leader Yuan Shao naturally sat in the middle, and the two sides sat down according to the rank and age, and Cao carried the wine and dishes to enjoy with everyone.After drinking three rounds and eating five flavors, Cao said: "We have elected Benchu ​​as the leader today, we must obey his orders, and work hard to serve the country together. We can't bully the weak and fear the hard, and pick and choose!"

"I, Yuan Shao, am not talented. I was elected as the leader of the alliance by you. Naturally, I will be rewarded for my meritorious deeds and punished for my demerits. The country has laws, and the army has military discipline. You must not violate it. We are ugly to say that if someone violates military discipline Don't blame me, Yuan Shao, for not showing respect!" Yuan Shao waited until everyone nodded, then turned his gaze to Yuan Shu.He found that although Yuan Shu nodded, his face was obviously dissatisfied, so Yuan Shao said: "My younger brother Yuan Shu, Governor of Food and Grass, is responsible for distributing the army food in place, so that you don't have to worry about the future. But we still lack a pioneer, go to Sishui Guan challenge, I wonder which general is willing to go?"

Yuan Shao entrusted Yuan Shu with the matter of the governor's food and grass, just to appease Yuan Shu's resentment that he was not regarded as the leader of the alliance.It's a pity that as long as Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance for a day, Yuan Shu's resentment will not be appeased, unless Yuan Shao gives him the position of leader.But even if Yuan Shao is willing, it is not up to him to decide.The position of leader is not just a play, anyone who wants to be can be the one, not even a brother.

Now that Dong Lianjun is short of a vanguard, after Yuan Shao said it, the princes below were hesitant.Sun Jian stood up and said that he was willing to be a pioneer, which made Yuan Shu hate Sun Jian even more.How can I say that he, Sun Jian, is a general under the name of Yuan Shu, but Sun Jian first agreed with Yuan Shao to be the leader, and now he came out to act as the vanguard without Yuan Shu's consent, so Yuan Shu really wanted to find a chance to teach Sun Jian a lesson.

Seeing the vanguard, Yuan Shao was very happy and said: "Wentai is loyal and brave. With the Jiangdong tiger as the vanguard, Sishuiguan must be no problem. Everyone occupies a dangerous place. We will meet Wentai from behind! Let's all go to Sishui Pass together. Water off!"
