Chapter 43: Army Assembly
Wangjiacun is a little-known name. There are countless villages in the world that share this name.
But this small village located to the west of Chenliu City has been really busy recently.
All the princes have assembled an army of 120,000 here. Cao Cao, the commander of the middle route, is hosting a banquet in honor of all the princes. Zhang Miao, the governor of Puyang [originally belongs to Chen Liu, but we must let Cao Cao have the territory], and Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling
, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, Bao Xin, the best friend of Lao Cao, the prime minister of Jibei, and Wu Anguo, the vanguard general of Kong Rong. Because Beihai is a major stronghold of the Yellow Turban Party, Kong Rong must
To defend the city, he himself could not go out, and the general Tai Shici also stayed in the city.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, remained neutral and did not send troops. After all, Tao Qian was a rare benevolent leader in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
Among the various princes, because the host was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sent 40,000 troops, which was the most among all the princes, everyone also took him as the leader.
In the tent of the Chinese army temporarily built in the village, our old Cao is sitting in the front seat. The princes on the left and right are sitting separately. Below are the generals, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Li Dian,
Le Jin and other generals from other princes were sitting there, and Cao Ren was responsible for staying behind to guard Chen Liu.
"Come, gentlemen, I, Cao Mengde, would like to thank you all for responding to the emperor's call. The army has gathered here. Let's have a drink first!" Cao Cao stood up, raised his glass, and said proudly.
"Thank you, Lord Cao! We were originally Han ministers, but now that Dong's thieves have disrupted our court, we must unite from top to bottom and work together to attack Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo alive!" Bao Xin stood up first and said loudly.
"Yes, what the Prime Minister of Jibei said is right, we should do our best to revive our Han Dynasty!" Zhang Chao also agreed.
"Okay, with your bold words, our army will definitely win! The mighty Han Dynasty!"
"Great Han Tianwei!"
.......
"Do these damn beasts think they can fight against me if they are bundled together?!" Dong Zhuo sat in his seat, dropped the wine glass in his hand, and became furious. The soldiers who came in to report were trembling.
"You all tell me what to do about this!" Dong Zhuo's eyes widened in anger as he looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who were sitting down.
"Sir, according to Master Zhang's intelligence from the Zhongling Camp, there are three groups of rebels this time. The middle group is led by Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, and has assembled no less than 100,000 people. The northern group is led by Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, with nearly 150,000 troops. The southern group is
The allied forces of General Yuan Shu and Liu Biao and Liu Yan have gathered in the Wancheng area. Their number is not clear yet, but they will not be less than 100,000."
"Hiss~" Many civil servants in the lobby took a breath. Good guy, there are actually hundreds of thousands of troops.
After listening to Li Ru's report, Dong Zhuo became even more angry and said nothing. He sat down and made the officials a little commotion.
"Father! You don't need to worry about these little bugs yet. Let me take my Bingzhou elite cavalry to kill them first!" Of course Lu Bu was the first to jump out, and he has the strength.
"What's the point of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer? Grand Master, let me go!" Hua Xiong was not far behind.
"Master, I'm going!"
"Master, let me go!"
The military attaches were all eager to give it a try.
They are indeed a group of warriors. Dong Zhuo thought in his heart, but when he felt a little disappointed, he saw that three of the military attaches were unknown.
His most trusted general Xu Rong, his second son-in-law Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen's second brother, the young general Zhang Liao.
