All the princes wanted to use this alliance to realize some of their ambitions, so almost everyone arrived at the sour jujube ahead of the original February 28th.

The prefect of Bohai Yuan Shao, the prefect of Nanyang Yuan Shu, the governor of Jizhou Han Fu, the governor of Yuzhou Kong, the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai, the prefect of Henei Wang Kuang, the prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao, the prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao, the prefect of Dongjun Qiao Mao, the prefect of Shanyang Yuan Yi, the prefect of Jibei Bao Xin, the prefect of Shangdang Zhang Yang, the prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, the prefect of Beiping Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Changsha Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha Cao Cao, the prefect of cavalry general Ma Teng, the governor of Xuzhou Tao Qian, and the governor of Bingzhou Ding Yuan.

A total of nineteen princes gathered together and set up camps. In this wilderness of sour jujubes that were uninhabited in the past, there were flags waving and crowds.

In a tall military tent, nineteen princes were arranged in a hall.

The first seat was Yuan Shao. He was already quite heroic. At this time, he was wearing brand new military uniform and showed his majesty.

The person closest to him was Cao Cao, the best friend who sent him out of Luoyang.

Below Cao Cao, there was a person with three beautiful beards and a look similar to Yuan Shao. This person secretly looked at Yuan Shao, with disdain in his eyes. There was no doubt that it was Yuan Shao's half-brother Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao looked at the big tent, but found that there was another seat empty, and he couldn't help but frown.

"The agreed date has come, why are there still people missing? In response to the imperial edict of the late emperor, there are not twenty people who have participated in the alliance? Why is one missing?"

At this time, Ding Yuan stood up and said, "It's Liu He, General Liu Xianzhao has not arrived."

Yuan Shao looked around and found that only Liu He was missing, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"General Liu's Han family members are the ones who initiated this alliance again, why haven't they come here for a long time?"

Ding Yuan bowed and said, "Before I went to the war, I received a letter saying that he had sent troops from Yanmen at the beginning of the month. It is logical that it should be here at this time, maybe something happened on the way."

"I know some General Liu's whereabouts."

Everyone looked in the voice, but it was Shangdang’s prefect Zhang Yang.

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "General Zhang, come on, come on."

"Fifteen days before the second year, the army was sent from the Changzicheng of Shangdang County. At that time, the prefect Liu had arrived in Shangdang, but he first visited the Zhao family of our county. However, when he left Shangdang and continued his march, it is unknown what time he would leave Shangdang to continue his march."

Everyone suddenly realized.

The current head of the Zhao clan is Zhao Yu, the former prefect of Shangdang. Because he was old and sick, he retired and returned home half a year ago, so Zhang Yang succeeded him. The Zhao clan and Liu He have always been very close, and Zhao Yu's eldest son Zhao Jin has been listening to Liu He for many years. It is reasonable that Liu He will visit him here.

"We should visit old friends, but we shouldn't have delayed the alliance. The attack on Dong Zhuo is a state-owned business, so how can we delay it for private matters?"

In this words, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Liu He.

"Hehe, what delays the itinerary? According to my opinion, Liu Heba is probably bluffing and is scared, so he just stayed in Shangdang and didn't dare to come."

A somewhat harsh voice suddenly sounded, and when everyone saw that it was Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang.

When he saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by him, he couldn't help but look proud on his face, as if the feeling of being watched made him very enjoyable.

"This Liu He is a man who deceives the world and thinks that if he deals with a few barbarians and Hu bandits, he will be invincible in the world? Hey, now he must have heard of our military appearance and strength, which makes him ashamed, so he dare not show up."

"The road general should not be guessed at will. General Liu's heroic name is often heard of even though Teng is in remote places in Xiliang. Even among the Qiang people, Liu He's name is also effective in stopping children from crying at night."

In Ma Teng's tone, he admired Liu He.

His rebuttal made Yuan Shu look a little ugly in an instant.

"What do you know, a wild man? How dare you say more?"

"You..." Ma Teng was furious and drew his sword toward him, and was persuaded by the princes around him.

"Okay, you are all the great wise men in the world. Today, we gather together to fight against thieves. Why are you quarreling here?"

Cao Cao stood up. Although he was not tall, his voice was loud and confident, and instantly calmed down the quarrels.

Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao with a squint, and let out a "cut..." from his nose

"You Cao Aman hasn't become the leader of the alliance yet. Don't want to give orders here. I, Yuan Shu, will put my words here today. Then Liu He is a timid mouse and dare not join the alliance!"

Ding Yuan frowned, very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's attitude.

"Who can't speak vernacular? But if General Liu comes, what will you do?"

Yuan Shu sneered: "Just like him, if he dares to come, Yuan knelt down to him in public and apologized! But the words are clear. After today, I will not count. If he doesn't show up today, hum, then Governor Ding will have to kowtow to Yuan."

Just then, a sound came from outside the big tent.

"Oh? Liu actually has such a big face. Before the deposit has arrived, someone has made a bet on it?"

Everyone looked outside the tent together.

The curtain of the big tent was lifted open on both sides and several figures appeared outside the door.

After seeing the appearance of several people, Ding Yuan was immediately delighted.

"General Liu! I knew you would definitely come!"

Liu He also had a cheerful smile on his face, signaling Guan Yu and others behind him to wait outside the account, and walked into the big tent alone.

"Mr. Meng Jianyang is concerned about it. He had a great time talking to the Zhao family in Shangdang. He forgot about his days for a while. I have been tired of waiting for you for a long time!"

"General Liu is a relative of the Han Dynasty and is the person who initiated the alliance again. He holds the will of the late emperor in his hand. Now that he has come, he should be the master."

Yuan Shao pointed to the first seat of his lower head, which was opposite Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also came over: "General Liu is well-known. Cao Cao, whose courtesy name is Mengde, is here to recommend the general and all the heroes in the account."

When Liu He heard this, the person in front of him was Cao Cao, the Emperor Wu of Wei who was named Three Kingdoms, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.

"It turns out that as historical records, it is only seven feet tall and not very good-looking. It is far inferior to Yuan Shao and others. However, the sharp look is much better than everyone else. Moreover, he lives in the account, wanders among the people, and coordinates the relationship between everyone, and is indeed versatile."

Cao Cao didn't know how to meet, so Liu He evaluated himself thoroughly in his heart, and just led Liu He to introduce the princes.

"This is the eldest son of Yuan's family of the fourth generation and the third duke, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu, this is Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Han Wenjie..."

After some introduction, I don’t know whether Cao Cao was intentional or unintentional, but Yuan Shu actually put the last introduction, which made him so angry that his teeth were itchy.

Cao Cao was about to introduce him, but Liu He waved his hand and interrupted him.

"This person must be Yuan Shu, Yuan Gaolu, right? Haha, the one who made a bet with Governor Ding just now is you?"

Everyone present, including Yuan Shao, chose to watch Liu He when he saw that he was about to attack Yuan Shu, and even Cao Cao just smiled and didn't say anything.

Liu He looked at the reactions of everyone and said to himself: "This Yuan Shu is indeed as rumored. He is a very playboy. After a while, he offended everyone. But it is reasonable for Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei to teach such offenders. If Yuan Shao had not been adopted early, it would have been much worse."

When Yuan Shu was asked by him, his face suddenly turned longer than a donkey and darker than a charcoal.

"What do you mean?"
