——Swiss jujube

"Look, this is the altar we have built. When the princes from all walks of life gather together and choose an auspicious day, we can worship the heavenly alliance and defeat Dong Zhuo together here!"

Cao Cao happily introduced his architectural achievements to Yuan Shao and others. In his opinion, the general trend of the world has been determined, and Dong Zhuo's days are numbered.

"Sun Jian set out from Changsha, so it's probably too far to get here. Besides him, who else hasn't arrived?" Qiao Mao asked.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's Ma Qiang, Prime Minister of Pingyuan. He has sent a message saying that he has brought 15,000 troops and will arrive in the next two days."

"Oh? That businessman with hundreds of jobs, also came to participate in the alliance? Is he here to make up for the number?" Kong Min glanced at Cao Cao disdainfully and said, "Meng De seems to appreciate him quite a lot."

Cao Cao glanced at Kong Ni and was too lazy to talk to him. In his eyes, people like Kong Ni who were good at talking were the real ones.

"Report!! Qingzhou Pingyuan Xiangma Qiang led his army to join the alliance!"

Listening to the sergeant's shouts and the thunderous sound of gongs and drums, Cao Cao smiled and said, "This really means Ma Qiang. Ma Qiang is here. Will you all come with me to greet him?"

Kong Miao and Zhang Miao looked at each other with some disdain. Yuan Shao coughed and said, "After all, we are princes, so we should go and greet them."

"Report!! Shangshu Lu Zhi came with Pingyuan Xiang Ma Qiang to join the alliance!!"

"What? Lu Shangshu is here?"

"Ah! I have long heard that Lu Shangshu left Luoyang, and I was still worried about his safety. I didn't expect that he would end up in Ma Pingyuan."

"Let's go, go and greet us!"

Seeing the different attitudes of everyone, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile to Liu Bei behind him and said, "Brother Xuande, it seems that the name of your mentor is still very loud."

"Meng Degong, let's go quickly!"

"Walk!"

Outside the camp, Ma Qiang and Lu Zhi walked towards the princes who came to greet them. Ma Qiang looked at Cao Cao, nodded, and winked at Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao saw Lu Zhi really coming, his brows jumped.

"I've met Lu Shangshu!"

"I heard that the martyrs were gathering here, so I came here to complain!"

"Where is it? Lu Shangshu is proficient in military affairs and he is worthy of being our teacher!" Yuan Shao glanced at Ma Qiang and began to fulfill his promise.

"What Brother Benchu ​​said is absolutely true. If Lu Shangshu is at the head, our momentum will be even greater!"

After the two sides greeted each other, the princes noticed the dark army led by Ma Qiang behind him.

Just now, this army moved up and down without making any sound. The combat effectiveness of an army with such discipline can be imagined.

"Ah, Brother Xuande! And Yide and Yun Chang, are you here too?"

Ma Qiang saw the three Liu Bei brothers behind Cao Cao and said hello happily.

When these three people arrive, will I be able to see the three heroes fighting Lu Bu right away?

Seeing how pitiful he was, Ma Qiang brought a camera specially for this historic scene.

Although the camera is also crude.

That night, there was a banquet to wash away the dust, and Ma Qiang also took the opportunity to get to know the legendary eighteen princes.

However, Ma Qiang has not found the eighteenth route here... Lao Luo, are you cheating again?

Just as he was thinking about it, someone came to report that Zhang Yang was leading his army to join the alliance.

"Isn't this a bandit army that was sent to conquer the counties?" Zhang Chao said unceremoniously from the side.

Yuan Shao then said, "Zhang Yang was also an official of the imperial court in the past. If Dong Zhuo hadn't messed up the government and caused chaos in Bingzhou, this wouldn't be the case. That's all. Let's accept him as one of us."

In this way, everyone was about the same. When everyone looked at the date, they agreed to make a blood alliance tomorrow.

——The next day

On the altar, flags from five directions were spread out, with white and yellow axes built on top, and military symbols and general seals. Only the gongs and drums were heard, the flags were flying, and the princes wearing battle armor came to the altar one by one to prepare to sacrifice to heaven and form an alliance.

Zang Hong opened the edict and shouted to his natural enemies: "The Han Dynasty is in misfortune. The emperor has lost his authority. The traitor Dong Zhuo has taken advantage of the provocation and indulged in harm. He has brought disaster to the supreme leader and tortured the people. He is afraid of losing the country and covering the world. We, the princes, unite our righteousness."

Soldiers, and go to the national disaster. All our allies will work together to achieve the integrity of the ministers and the death of their heads. There must be no two ambitions. If we have this alliance with Chongqing, we will suffer the fate of others and have no inheritance. The emperor is the emperor and the queen is in the land, and the ancestors are bright.

, we can all learn from the facts!”

After Zang Hong read the edict against thieves, Yuan Shao took the lead in dipping his fingers into the blood handed over by the sergeant and smeared it on his mouth.

This is blood-sucking.

Ma Qiang followed suit and applied it. He looked at the sky and wondered what the use of applying it was.

After forming an alliance based on blood, everyone elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and Lu Zhi as the military advisor to jointly manage major affairs.

"There are eight passes in Luoyang, and we have fourteen lines of soldiers and horses, which can be divided and attacked!"

Since Lu Zhi was promoted as a military advisor, he began to take charge of his duties and began to plan and deploy.

"On the first route, the rear general Yuan Shu led his army to pretend to attack the Yang people. After conquering it, there was no need to conquer Yique Pass, but only to attract Dong's troops.

On the second route, the King of Hanoi led his army to attack Mengjin. Ding Yuan burned Mengjin back then, but it has not fully recovered even now. It is not difficult to capture it. After the capture, all you need to do is make a big show of it to raise suspicion of thieves.

In the third route, the governor Kong of Yuzhou led his troops to station in Yingchuan and pretended to attack Sheyuan Pass. They did not seek to defeat the enemy, but only to attract the bandits.

With these three routes, the rebel army was dispersed, and then Alliance Leader Yuan led the rest of the princes to gather the main force and capture Hulao Pass!

As soon as Hulao Pass is broken, Luoyang will be just around the corner!"

While everyone was planning how to capture Luoyang, a sergeant came in with a bamboo tube and reported, "Report! Report from Jiangling. Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, thought that the governor of Changsha was ignorant and led his army to defraud Jiangling City. The governor of Wang has committed suicide!"

Everyone looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

No one expected that when the Allied Forces had just begun, the first person to start killing would be Sun Jian who was still thousands of miles away.

But just kill Sun Jian. Why did you kill Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou? He provoked you... Well, considering that Sun Jian is the governor of Changsha, he might have some personal vendetta.

But Wang Rui is from the Langya Wang clan, one of the top noble clans. If you kill as many as you want, can you still have fun?

Ma Qiang knew that Sun Jian was fierce.

Jiangdong tiger.

But I didn't expect it to be so fierce. It killed a governor when he came up. That's awesome, brother!

"Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from us, and we don't know the rights and wrongs of it. We should wait until Sun Jian arrives in Nanyang before talking about anything else."

Lu Zhi had met Sun Jian and knew that Sun Jian had a bad temper. He thought that he was probably provoked by Wang Rui. Normally, he would be punished, but now that he was employing people, Lu Zhi felt that he could tolerate it.

Before Lu Zhi could continue, another sergeant came in holding a bamboo tube.

"Report! Nanyang came to report that Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, refused to give Sun Jian food and grass, so Sun Jian led his army to kill him!"

...

Ma Qiang suddenly felt that he had misjudged Sun Jian.

Brother, you are not fierce.

You are Biao

We haven't even started fighting yet, and you've already killed two princes.

By the way, do you want to attack Dong Zhuo or the princes of Guandong...

After Sun Jian's troubles, everyone had no intention of holding a meeting to discuss how to attack Dong Zhuo. They had to suppress the fierce tiger in Jiangdong first. Otherwise, let alone attack Dong, it would not be certain who would be attacked by whom.

After all, everyone is not stupid. If Sun Jian kills Wang Rui, he can still say that he has a personal grudge, but if he kills Zhang Zi, he will have nothing to do. You have killed Wang Rui and occupied Jiangling's food and grass. How can you still run out of food?
