Chapter 193 Shadow Message
No one from all the princes voluntarily stood up to serve as the vanguard position. The position of the vanguard position of the coalition army is related to the morale of the entire alliance army. If it is defeated in the first battle, the morale of the coalition army will be greatly frustrated. Therefore, no one from all the princes responded to Yuan Shao’s question.
Yuan Shao saw that he exercised the power of the leader of the league for the first time, but no one responded to him. He was sitting in the top leader but his face was rosy. Yuan Shao was not rosy because he was sick, but because he issued an order for the first time, but no one from all the princes responded, which made Yuan Shao feel very embarrassed. As the leader, no one was willing to take his first order, which made Yuan Shao’s face go.
Just when Yuan Shao was hesitating whether he should choose someone from among the princes to serve as the vanguard, Changsha Prefect Sun Jian clasped his fists and said, "The leader of the alliance, Sun Jian is willing to serve as the vanguard, and win the first victory for our Allied forces to boost morale."
When Yuan Shao heard Sun Jian take the initiative to ask for the position of vanguard, he said happily: "Brother Wentai is known as the tiger in Jiangdong. As the vanguard of our Allied Army, he will surely bring great victory to our Allied Army to boost morale."
Yuan Shao paused and continued, "I ordered Wentai to be the vanguard and lead the troops to attack Sishui Pass, opening the first door for our Allies to attack Luoyang."
"Sun Jian received the order!!" After Sun Jian reported the order, he stood up and went out to rectify the troops and drove to Sishui Pass to prepare for a good battle, and won the first victory for the Allies...
Luoyang City Prime Minister's Office
"Lord, the princes responded to Cao Cao's vassals, and they claimed to have gathered a million troops to attack the lord." As soon as Li Ru got the news, he rushed to the Prime Minister's Office to report to Dong Zhuo.
"The eighteen princes, have you ever been among them?" Dong Zhuo asked with a haggard face.
Since Dong Zhuo learned that Cao Cao had initiated a forgery and recruited all the princes from all over the world to attack him, he had not had a good rest. At this time, Dong Zhuo's face was quite haggard, and he had lost weight a little because he was worried that Lu Feng would be in the coalition of princes.
Li Ru naturally knew what his father-in-law was worried about and said with a smile: "Lord, Brother Lu did not respond to Cao Cao's call. I think Brother Lu would definitely not join the coalition forces of the princes. This time, the possibility of sending Li Su to Bingzhou to lobby Brother Lu to send troops to help is greatly increased."
"Really!! Brother Xiaoyao really did not appear in the coalition of princes!!" Dong Zhuo asked again with excitement. What he feared most was that Lu Feng joined the coalition of princes and came to fight against him. If Lu Feng was in the coalition of princes, Dong Zhuo thought that he would surrender as soon as possible. Perhaps Lu Feng would still think that they would avoid his death. Now that he heard that Lu Feng did not appear in the coalition of princes, what else should Dong Zhuo be afraid of? To put it nicely, it was just a group of villains who gathered together for personal interests.
Dong Zhuo didn't take this coalition of princes, which seemed to be tied together but was actually a mess, and Dong Zhuo didn't take it seriously at all, not to mention that Dong Zhuo had 400,000 Xiliang troops in his hands, not to mention that Dong Zhuo was also in a position of advantage.
"This matter is absolutely true, but lord, we are spies at the Bingzhou border, saying that Brother Lu is the most frequently mobilized troops, and I don't know what Brother Lu's intentions are!" Li Ru told Dong Zhuo the information he had just obtained from the spy.
"Did Li Su really successfully lobby Xiaoyao Brother and asked his brother to dispatch troops to come and help us?" Dong Zhuo guessed in surprise.
"The subordinates have no way to judge this matter. However, calculating the time, Li Su should have arrived in Bingzhou with Fengxian at this time. He thinks that the chance of lobbying is indeed relatively high. However, the lord still cannot relax his vigilance before the exact news of enlightenment."
"Spitty..." Just as Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were still discussing whether Lu Feng would come to help, the door suddenly was knocked.
When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru looked in the voice, the knocker was not knocking from outside, the man appeared inside the closed door, and the knocking sound was knocking from inside. Since Li Ru came in just now, the door has been closed, and there are even soldiers guarding the door, just to not let anyone come in and disturb him. However, the person who suddenly appeared inside the door surprised Dong Zhuo and Li Ru. Neither of them noticed that when did the man in white come in, let alone when did the man in white come in? It was said that the two of them did not realize his existence until the other party knocked on the door. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru felt a chill on their backs. Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both understood that it would be easy for this person to kill them. So although they were surprised, they still looked at the man in white clothes in front of them with a calm look on their faces, who only had a pair of eyes exposed. Why is it said to be a man rather than a woman? Because from his body shape, the person in white clothes in front of him was definitely a man.
"Who are you?" Although Li Ru was sweating coldly, he still asked calmly.
"Haha, the two adults don't have to be so nervous. If you want to kill the two adults, you don't have to talk so much nonsense here again." The man in white said to the two with a smile.
"What's the point of asking me for you? If you come to my command, I will give you endless wealth and glory." Dong Zhuo looked at the man in white and said to win over him.
It is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to sneak in silently. If he could recruit this person, he would only have a powerful guard or even an assassin beside him. Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo made a statement and he would win over the man in white in front of him who was not sure whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"Haha, Lord Dong must be kind enough to accept it, but my lord asked me to come down to spread the words to Lord Dong!" The man in white politely declined Dong Zhuo's invitation and expressed his intention.
"Who is your lord?" Dong Zhuo didn't understand who could have such a strange subordinate, so he asked curiously.
The man in white said with a pious face (written like a meat dumpling, it is best to see his pious face) and said, "My lord is the governor of Bingzhou. I think I don't have to introduce him more than that, already know who he is." That's right, this person is a member of the shadow (forbearance) of Fengwei under Guo Jia.
"Brother Xiaoyao!!" Dong Zhuo screamed in surprise. But then he thought about it. Who else could have such a strange subordinate besides Brother Xiaoyao?
