Chapter 319: The princes raise troops
After Yuan Shao made a vow with Ma Qiang, he crossed the Majia River with a forced smile while being frightened.
Only then did Ma Qiang clearly see what the legendary Yuan Benchu looked like.
Don't say...Brother Meng De, you are more handsome than anyone else.
Look at that person’s height, body shape, and face!
This is not Yuan Shao, it is simply Zhou Yu!
Yuan Shao was also looking at Ma Qiang seriously.
Why doesn't this Ma Qiang grow a beard...
He looks like a eunuch.
Ugh! Rubbish!
The two of them sighed inwardly, but with extremely bright smiles on their faces.
"Brother Benchu, this time it is true that the wise brother misunderstood my brother. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet. Why not have a meal first before leaving!"
"Hey, Brother Yu is also impulsive. I'll eat this meal next time. I got a quick report yesterday that my youngest son was sick. I was about to rush back. You see, I was already ready to leave before you came!"
Ma Qiang got a little closer to Yuan Shao. Yan Liang and Wen Chou next to him immediately took a step forward holding the hilt of his sword. Behind Ma Qiang, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun also took a step forward.
Who is afraid of whom!
"Brother Benchu, a snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. To attack Dong Zhuo, each prince must have an alliance leader. Why don't we talk about it?"
This can be done!
Yuan Shao immediately said, "Speaking of which, I won't be able to cure illnesses when I go back, and I won't be in a hurry. How about you and I have a drink together?"
Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao looked at each other, laughed, then held hands, came to a secret place, and started whispering.
As the boss spoke, the others could only look at each other. After a long time, everyone saw Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao high-fiving, probably reaching some agreement.
When Yuan Shaojun left, Jia Xu, who was accompanying the army, smiled and said, "Looking at Duke Ming's appearance, Yuan Shao must have agreed, right?"
"That's right. Not to mention how happy he is when he is recommended as the future leader of the alliance. Besides, he only needs to put in a little pen and ink."
Ma Qiang put his hands behind his back and said, "Come on, let's go home. The sergeants are exhausted these days. Go back and have a rest before preparing to go to Dongjun."
--coincide
"This...is my granary??"
Yuan Shao looked at the empty granary and went crazy.
I know you are strong and ruthless, so you don't need to be so ruthless.
Leave nothing for me!
If I had known earlier, I would have eaten that horse to make up for it.
"Ming Gong, that Ma Qiang distributed all the food to the people and the money bank, too!" Feng Ji shook his head and said, "If we come back by force, we will lose the support of the people. This Ma Qiang is a good trick."
Yuan Shao took a breath, looked at the civil and military officials behind him, and suddenly bowed down.
"Ming Gong! No!"
"Ming Gong, why is this?"
Yuan Shao stood up with tears in his eyes, shook his head and said, "The defeat of this battle is all due to me, Yuan Shao. I underestimated Ma Qiang and forgot that he defeated the Yellow Turbans of Youzhou and Zhang Ju with just a few local soldiers a few years ago.
Wuhuan three chaos.
I have a higher opinion of myself. Although I helped the general coordinate troops and horses in Luoyang, I have never been in battle, and I have even forgotten things like being careful about running out of food... I, Yuan Benchu, am sorry to you all!"
When Xu You, Feng Ji and others heard this, they felt both ashamed and happy. They all felt that they were following a peerless wise king.
If Ma Qiang knew that he actually made Yuan Shao wise, he would definitely regret it.
Not to mention Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao, the enemies who went back to prepare for the war, other governors and state ministers received Qiao Mao's message and began to take action.
First of all, let’s talk about Dongjun where Qiao Mao is located. This is where Yanzhou’s governor’s department is located. The raising of troops here means that Yanzhou’s governor Liu Dai also agreed to this action. And next to Dongjun is Chen Liu. What did Qiao Mao do back then?
Jin's die-hard subordinates were also very familiar with Cao Cao. This is why when Yuan Shao heard that Qiao Mao had raised an army, the first thing he thought of was Cao Cao.
Next to raise troops were Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou.
Then the news gradually spread, and Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Yuan Shu, the general of the rear, Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, and others also raised troops.
Cao Cao also declared himself General Fenwu and gathered his troops again.
When Yuan Shao also raised troops, he sent people to find Han Fu, asking him to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and asking him to supply grain and grass.
There is no way, now Yuan Shao really has no food and grass, and Ma Qiang has almost divided it. Now, he still coaxed and deceived the big merchants in Bohai to raise it.
Han Fu, who was in Yecheng, received the news and immediately summoned his subordinates to ask for countermeasures.
Han Fu was a native of Yingchuan County and a disciple of the Yuan family. He used to serve as the censor Zhongcheng. After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he was named the shepherd of Jizhou by Dong Zhuo.
Of course, only God knows how much effort Yuan Taiwei put into this.
"Everyone, now that governors from all over the country are raising troops, should we help the Yuan family or the Dong family?"
Han Fu was honest, but not stupid. When he saw the list of soldiers, he immediately knew what was going on.
Look, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Cao Cao, and Bao Xin are all old friends of Yuan Shao in the General's Mansion. Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, and Yuan Shu are all members of the Yuan family. Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao's friend, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao's brother,
Kong Niao and Liu Dai are also old friends of the Yuan family. As for Sun Jian who is far away in Jingzhou, he is just a simple-minded martial artist. It is enough to pretend that he does not exist.
This is no longer a case of princes challenging Dong. It is simply the Yuan clan challenging Dong.
But Han Fu is not stupid, he is quite stupid. There are some things that you just need to know and you can't say.
As soon as this was said, someone came to support it.
Liu Hui, who was in charge of the government, stood up and said, "Dong Zhuo is a national traitor! Now the people are raising their troops to defeat the national traitors and serve the Han Dynasty. What does it have to do with the Yuan family?"
Han Fu twitched the corner of his mouth. What you said makes sense. Just pretend I didn't say it.
Han Fu looked at Jushou again. At this time, Jushou had been named Cavalry Commander and was Han Fu's general.
"Ming Gong, what Liu Zheng said is absolutely true. Now everyone in Guandong wants to kill Dong. If Ming Gong doesn't obey, he may be criticized by the public!"
When Han Fu heard this, he became frightened and ordered an army to be raised. However, he only gave an order and did not send any soldiers. He only provided food and grass to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao then led his army to set off for the alliance meeting place, Jujube.
Jujube is located in Chenliu County, and further east is Sili. It is the frontier position closest to Dong Zhuo. Meeting the alliance here can also be regarded as an expression of attitude.
When the news that the Kwantung princes were revolting reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he kicked over the table in front of him.
This group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!
How kind I am to you!
I have been given good positions such as governor, governor, and state pastor. If Shi Changshi were in power, your turn would be occupied by Ma Qiang's followers!
Besides, I have been in charge of the government for so long, and my subordinates have not given many rewards. For example, my godson Lu Bu is still the lieutenant general. Isn't he selfless enough?
I really get angrier the more I think about it!
