"When this proclamation arrives, the princes can implement it quickly!"
……
The first half of this covenant was basically born out of the coquettish edict handed down by Cao Cao, so everyone is very familiar with it.
After today, these contents will be sorted into a special call to action, which will be used to announce to the people of the world, let the people of the world know Dong Zhuo's cruelty, and at the same time continue to attract those princes who share the same wishes with himself and others, and unite them to Luoyang Imperial City, Attack and kill the traitor Dong Zhuo.
And in the second half of this covenant, it is the constraint on all the covenants:
"You should know that in today's world, the Han Dynasty is unfortunate, and the Emperor Gang is out of order. The rebel Dong Zhuo, who takes advantage of provocations all day long, not only abuses the common people, but even harms the Supreme Being!"
"Today we are afraid of the loss of our country, so we gather volunteer soldiers here to face the national calamity together."
"All the righteous soldiers of our alliance should work together, and we will not stop until we have exhausted our integrity as a courtier, and we dare not have other ideas."
"If one day, someone among our allies violates this covenant, he should be made to fall from a high platform and lose his life. And anyone who betrays his allies and attacks privately should be punished by the emperor, so that his descendants will be left behind. Difficult to have children until the family line is cut off!"
"The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof. The ancestors are enlightened, and we can all learn from them!"
……
It has to be said that the ancients were indeed much better than the later generations in terms of literary talent.
The covenant in Zhang Yan's hands was prepared by Yuan Shao for him.
It was just a night of busy work, and Yuan Shao wrote an article that can be passed down through the ages.
On Zhang Yan's side, after reading the covenant under the watchful eyes of everyone, his whole body was also full of energy and blood.
I saw him pull out the sword at his waist and wipe it on the palm of his hand, a bloody gleam suddenly appeared.
The palm was already dripping with blood, and a lot of blood fell down Zhang Yan's fingertips.
This is the final step in the blood alliance.
Mix each other's blood, then dissolve it in wine, and drink it with the allies.
After everyone finished drinking, many people couldn't restrain their eyes from drooping tears because of Zhang Yan's generous letter.
……
Leaving aside the impassioned emotions of everyone at the moment, Zhang Yan walked down from the high platform after the alliance oath was over.
And Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others greeted him under the high platform.
Several people looked at each other without saying anything, just like this, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao supported Zhang Yan, and they entered yesterday's tent together.
This time, Zhang Yan sat on the seat he was most familiar with, and the rest of the people sat separately according to each other's title, status and age.
Cao Cao made several toasts to the crowd as usual, and Zhang Yan used gauze to bind up the wound on his hand by taking advantage of Cao Cao's toast.
"Hey, it hurts..."
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have cut so deeply."
Silently feeling the pain deep in his palm, Zhang Yan felt a little unbearable, but he couldn't help but feel excited because of it.
Now participating in such an alliance as a person of the future, or as the leader of the alliance...
Even he couldn't help but feel his heart surge.
After bandaging the wound, Zhang Yan set his sights on everyone.
He picked up his wine glass and said loudly to everyone:
Chapter 30 Envelope
"Since we have selected the leader today, I hope that you can obey the instructions and don't care about each other based on each other's strength and age."
"Although I'm not talented, I'm willing to do my best for the meeting. Since you have elected me as the leader of the alliance, then I must be rewarded for my meritorious deeds, punished for my mistakes, and have strict discipline."
"Everyone should know that the state has state laws, and the military has military regulations. You must abide by them carefully, and don't violate them lightly."
Arching his hands towards the crowd, Zhang Yan said loudly.
And at this moment, when he was just elected as the leader, both his momentum and the pressure he brought to others were the strongest, so naturally no one would touch his bad luck.
I saw Tao Qian and the others all responded one after another:
"Don't worry, leader, we will obey your orders and never disobey them."
……
"That's good. It's not too late to ask Dong Yi. Since everything is ready now, from now on, we will divide our troops into five groups and enter Luoyang from five directions at the same time."
"Luoyang's terrain is flat, and it's all protected by the surrounding passes."
"Our army is too large. If we gather in one place, our strength may be limited due to the difficulty in supplying food and grass."
"Since this is the case, the division of troops forward can not only protect its own strength, but also lure Dong Zhuo to divide his troops, so as to defeat them one by one."
"I wonder if you have any objections to this method of dividing troops?"
"If there is no objection, what is your opinion?"
……
Seeing that everyone had no objection to his being the leader of the alliance, Zhang Yan took advantage of the opportunity and told everyone about the strategy of dividing the army that he had discussed with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others.
And everyone was talking about it.
It's just a pity that for those princes with less power, even if they are worried about this matter, they are not strong enough to support them against this strategy.
And those princes who are powerful and qualified to oppose...
They have been bought one by one by Zhang Yan and others.
Today's alliance, in a sense, is Zhang Yan's words.At the same time, he is also the incarnation of the small group of Luoyang dudes behind him.
How could there be voices of opposition to such an alliance?
……
"Since you have no objection, then I will perform my duties and divide the army into five groups, and march towards Luoyang together."
Seeing that the crowd gradually quieted down, Zhang Yan did not hide it, but divided the crowd into five parts based on the strength of the army.
Each of these forces is guaranteed to have a prince with more than [-] soldiers, who is powerful, famous, and capable of overwhelming everyone as the leader.
The remaining princes, on the basis of their own strength, serve as the filling of the five-way army.
……
Among these five routes, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu naturally led the way because of their own military strength.
Among them, Yuan Shao led Kong Ni, Wang Kuang and other princes to station troops in Hanoi, and marched from Hanoi to attack Luoyang.
And Yuan Shu led Han Fu and others to march southwest, took the road passing through Nanyang County, and marched towards Luoyang from the southeast.
After the two brothers separated most of the soldiers, the remaining princes could be further divided.
People like Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao stayed in Suanzao with Cao Cao because their troops were not too strong, and after they consolidated the scattered troops of Suanzao, they headed towards Guandu, followed the waterway, and marched towards Luoyang.
As for Zhang Yan, he took his old friends Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi with him to the east of the river and made a detour into Luoyang.
In his army along the way, the number of soldiers can be said to be the largest.Whether it is Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers or Kong Rong's Qingzhou soldiers, they are all battle-tested and powerful.
Don't look at Tao Qian's appearance as a good man... You know, many years ago, when he first came to Xuzhou, he relied on an iron army supported by his hometown Danyang to fight all over the north and south without any opponents.
Correspondingly, as the price for the most troops, among them, the generals who can afford it are the least.
For example, Wu Anguo, the Beihai prefect Kong Rong's subordinate, who is not well-known in other places, has become a rare general in Zhang Yan's army at this moment.
……
"In this way, the four-way army is ready."
"As for you, Wentai... I have a special mission for you."
Turning around and looking at Sun Jian beside him, Zhang Yan's eyes were a little dignified.
……
"The coalition forces are all composed of coalition forces from various princes, so when they are mobilized, it is inevitable that there will be many delays and it will be difficult to implement them."
"As for you, Wentai, you lead an army of [-] alone, and you are also the only one in our army who walks alone."
"I want you to start ahead of us, go north to Shangdang County, follow Chaoge, the ancient capital of Yin and Shang, and approach Luoyang from the north."
"Before that Dong Zhuo reacts, you must be our vanguard and control that Sishui Pass first."
……
"Although Sishui Pass does not belong to the Eight Passes of Luoyang, its terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it happens to be in front of the Eight Passes."
"If Dong Zhuo occupies this great pass with heavy troops, then the passes around Luoyang will be connected together, and each other will support each other, making it difficult for us to attack."
"I also hope that Wentai must go all out to win this level."
"If this battle is successful, then Wentai will have at least [-]% of the merits of Dong Zhi!"
……
That's right, for Sun Jian, who had the most powerful army and horses among the crowd, Zhang Yan planned to let him go alone as the arrangement in the novel, as the vanguard of the crowd, to attack the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Sishui Pass first.
In a sense, he is also the only guy in the coalition army who can face Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and others head-on.
Of course, since Sun Jian was to be left alone, Zhang Yan couldn't have made the mistake of nepotism like the later Yuan Shao, and handed over the extremely important matter of soldiers, horses, food and grass to Yuan Shu.
Although Yuan Shu has talent, he is extremely emotional because of his high position all the year round.
Letting an emotional person take up a position that requires "stability" is really a sign that Yuan Shao in the novel is not good at employing people.
……
As an alternative, in the official history, the ancestors had already given Zhang Yan a perfect answer sheet, and Zhang Yan only needs to copy down the answer:
"In order to protect the army from any shortage of food and fodder, Chen Liu's prefect Zhang Mengzhuo should be in charge of this matter."
"I also hope that you, Meng Zhuo, can properly mobilize the food and grass rations from all walks of life, especially the Wentai road, which is our vanguard. There must be no shortage!"
……
Hearing this, both Sun Jian and Zhang Miao clasped their fists towards Zhang Yan:
"Leader, don't worry, we will definitely do our best to ensure that the coalition forces enter Luoyang smoothly!"
