Yuan Shao waved his hands and said: "Brother Meng Zhuo, don't get angry, just listen to me to tell you the truth. Meng Zhuo didn't know something, this time we have mixed members of the alliance, including the Baibo Bandit and the Black Mountain Army. Although there are many of them, But the weapons and armor are backward, and the soldiers are mixed. In view of this, I want to organize them into the left wing of the Allied Army, and ask Meng Zhuo to mediate in the middle, so as not to cause trouble. The war cavalry under Fengxian is the main force of our Allied Army and will serve as the vanguard of the previous army. Therefore, considering Meng Zhuo's own safety and post-war interests, it is better to become a prince all the way. After the war, Brother Meng Zhuo and Fengxian will be able to share double the results of the war. This move is indeed for the sake of Brother Meng Zhuo , have no other thoughts! As for the deployment of you and the [-] army led by General Fengxian, Yuan will never participate, you can decide on your own."

"Huh?" Zhang Miao was stunned when he heard the words, and his eyes quickly flashed across the faces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, quite moved.Then he nodded lightly and said: "Thank you so much for Yuan Gong's kindness, I will follow the order."

"Okay, that's very good!" Yuan Shao nodded happily, and laughed loudly: "Meng Zhuo really understands the general situation and cares about the overall situation, and I have waited for my good intentions. It was a helpless move, and it was a last resort. Therefore, I would rather add a new line of princes than let the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Bandits grow bigger every day. Therefore, helping Brother Meng Zhuo is equivalent to helping myself, so why not have the best of both worlds? Why not! Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Zhang Miao was stunned, and finally relaxed his expression of bewilderment, showing a smile, and nodding his head to express his gratitude.

Apart from laughing, Yuan Shao said with a smile: "There is one more thing I want to ask Brother Meng Zhuo for help. After all the princes from all walks of life arrive, I will elect a prince to be the leader of the alliance. I will ask you to help me a lot! "

"Yuan Gong's words are serious." Zhang Miao's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled knowingly. The few doubts left in his heart disappeared, and he was completely relieved.It turned out that the reason why Yuan Shao specially added a new line of princes for him, his real intention was to win him over, and the purpose was to hope that he would support Yuan Shao to take the position of leader.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao smiled happily: "Actually, there is no need to select a leader for this meeting. Duke Yuan is the only candidate for leader, so he should not give in. What's more, Duke Yuan worked hard to contact the alliance of various princes and provided a large amount of food and salaries. He Armaments deserves the most credit, because the position of leader is none other than Duke Yuan!"

"Brother Meng Zhuo is too famous, come, please fill up this bottle!" After finishing the business, Yuan Shaozhi burst out laughing triumphantly and persuaded the guests to drink again and again.

Half an hour later, the banquet dispersed, and Zhang Miao was so drunk that he was carried back to Lu Bu's camp by his own soldiers.

Although Yuan Shao was also flushed from drinking, he was not drunk and was still very sober.After everyone left, he got up and went to the tent, sat with Cao Cao who was staying in the big tent, hiccupped and said, "Hi! Mengde, I have already done everything my brother can do for you. , The chess piece has been laid, and it will be up to you in the future. But there is one thing I want to declare in advance. After you have completely defeated Thief Li, it is time for you to plan to regain the territory, and before that, you must not make a small mistake and ruin the great affairs of our allies!"

"Brother Benchu, don't worry, I, Cao Cao, are definitely not people who don't care about the overall situation. This time, I will do my best to help Brother Benchu!" Cao Cao solemnly stated his position with a determined expression, and then he looked at Yuan Shao and laughed loudly.

Chapter 613

In the early morning of the next day, the long rainbow pierced through the sun, and the sky was filled with rays of light.

In late autumn, there was still a layer of silvery frost on the field of the Rebel Academy filled with morning mist, making it very cold.

Although the weather was cold, the camp of the allied army stretching for tens of miles was full of steam, and the crowd was full of enthusiasm and momentum.

As of yesterday evening, the princes from all walks of life who came to the alliance arrived as scheduled, and then the princes from all walks of life settled down.

It was night, the princes of the alliance met for the first time in the big tent of the Chinese army, and then had a high-level drinking meeting, which did not disperse until late at night.

Today is the big day for the formal alliance of the princes of the Central Plains. The weather is beautiful and the sky is clear, which adds a bit of auspiciousness to the alliance of princes.

The autumn wind is blowing, the soldiers are dense, and the flags are flying.

On the grounds of the altar, as far as the eye can see, there are all cavalry warriors, as if it is boundless, connecting the sky and the earth.

Time passed quickly, and the scorching sun fully appeared, driving away the frost and cold, and the whole earth was filled with warmth.

"dong dong dong"

The sound of war drums sounded suddenly, and countless soldiers moved after hearing the drums, and quickly approached the altar.Immediately afterwards, groups of black iron armored men with halberds climbed up the steps of the altar and stood facing each other on both sides.

Immediately, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Yuan Shao walked slowly towards the altar, and then stood in front of the steps.

After the three-way drum passed, the sound of the war drums stopped abruptly, and the huge altar and school grounds were already overcrowded, with soldiers everywhere, huge crowds of people, and the momentum was monstrous.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a short pause, the war drums sounded again. At this time, Yuan Shao's confidant counselor Xu You walked up to the third floor of the altar, unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand, and read aloud: "Beat the drums and gather the generals, and the princes will form an alliance!"

After a pause in tone, Xu You raised his voice and read: "The princes of the first town of the rebel army, the chariot general, and Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao led an army of 15 to form an alliance!"

Following Xu You's voice, it fell.The weapons in the hands of the Jizhou army in the middle of the school field rose and fell in response, shouting in unison: "We must win! We must win! We must win!"

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts, Yuan Shao led a group of civil servants and generals to stride to the steps of the altar and stand in line, while he himself stepped up the steps and walked up the altar step by step.

After Yuan Shao boarded the altar, Xu You continued to read: "The princes of the second town of the rebel army, the general who conquered the north, and the shepherd of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, led an [-]-member alliance!"

After Xu You's voice fell, Cao Cao's army on the right side in front of the altar moved in response.The soldiers rose and fell in an orderly manner, shouting: "Zhongxing Han Dynasty, kill Li thief! Zhongxing Han Dynasty, kill Li thief!"

Like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao led his subordinates to the stage amidst the shouts.Then he climbed the steps alone and walked steadily up the altar.

"The third town of the rebel army. General Fenwei and Wenhou Lubu led the [-]-member alliance!" Xu You continued to read.

Xi Yuyu!

A horse neighed.The red rabbit horse stands out from the crowd with its hooves raised, its majestic posture is astonishing, and its mighty momentum shocked the audience.

Then Lu Bu flew off his horse and strode up to the altar holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.Behind him, all the generals stood in front of the stage, the only difference was that.Lu Bu's army did not shout slogans in unison.

"The princes of the fourth town of the Rebel Army, General Dangkou and the leader of the Black Mountain Rebel Army, Zhang Yan, led the [-] Black Mountain Army to form an alliance!"

"Hoo!" Following Xu You's words, he saw a fast horse galloping past, and then a fuzzy black figure flew into the air from the galloping horse's back.The weapon in his hand made a sharp whistling sound.After the black shadow landed and stabilized his figure, he saw him standing firmly in front of the steps of the altar, standing proudly, his agility was amazing.

Upon closer inspection, this man, as light as a swallow, was dressed in animal skin armor, a black war robe on his shoulders, and a silver and black hairpin crown on his head. He was eight feet four inches tall, with a thin body, regular facial features, and a dignified demeanor.It goes without saying that this person is Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Bandit who has the reputation of "Flying Swallow".

However, the official position and name that Xu You reported was nothing more than lies, all false names, and his intention was nothing more than to beautify the reputation of the Black Bandits, so as to fool the common people, so as not to damage the reputation of the Allies.After all, the allied army is known as the righteous army. If they join forces with bandits who do all kinds of evil, they will inevitably be criticized and damage the prestige of the princes from all walks of life.

When Zhang Yan stopped, the Black Mountain Army under his command shouted: "Save the Son of Heaven, Qing Jun's side! Save the Son of Heaven, Qing Jun's side!"

Immediately, a group of Black Mountain bandit leaders strode to the front of the stage, stood behind Zhang Yan, and looked around curiously, as if it was the first time they had seen such a large-scale alliance ceremony.After all the generals under his command stood up, Zhang Yan stepped onto the steps and slowly climbed up to the altar.

Just as Zhang Yan walked up to the altar step by step, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other in unison after hearing the slogan shouted by the black bandit, and then nodded in agreement, looking at Zhang Yan with eyes full of admiration color.

It is true that any alliance must have a reason that can convince the people of the world, in fact, it is necessary to find a suitable excuse.Only in this way can the teacher be famous and can be called a righteous army, otherwise he will commit rebellion, and an unrighteous teacher will be shamed by the world.Even the Yellow Turban Rebellion has a resounding slogan: "When the heaven is dead, the yellow sky shall stand; when the age is Jiazi, the world will be prosperous."

The last time the vassal alliance attacked Dong Zhuo, it was in the name of "requesting thieves under the edict", and this edict was written by Cao Cao himself. Although it was a fake, it had the effect of confusing the real with the fake.This time Yuan Shao united the princes of the Central Plains to crusade against Li Li, and the banner they played was "Punish the Li thief, side the Qing Dynasty, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!" , Secretly rewarded.Because Zhang Yan can come up with this slogan, it shows that he is not a reckless warrior, but rather resourceful.

"The princes of the Fifth Town, General Pingkou and Han Xian, the prefect of Shangdang, led the [-] Baibo army to join the alliance!" Xu You read aloud, pulling his throat.

Obviously, this is another army composed of grass bandits. They are obviously Baibo bandits who are active in the Shangdang area, but they want to be named as a general of Pingkou, and they also have the official position of Shangdang prefect.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a self-deceiving title, but they can't find too much fault.Because of the rampant banditry in Shangdang County these years, the rampant rampage of the Southern Xiongnu barbarians led by Baibo bandits, Heishan bandits, and Yu Fuluo caused Shangdang County to change the prefect frequently, and few people can stay in office for three months. The post of prefect is like Like a revolving door, changing people every three days.As for the title of general with miscellaneous names, there are countless under the command of princes in various towns and cities in the world.They are everywhere, and they are all appointed by the princes themselves, and the phenomenon of overlapping official positions is not uncommon.

Therefore, the titles of Zhang Yan and Han Xian are false if they are false, but they can be used as official official positions in the Allied Army.Because these official positions were all granted by Yuan Shao, they can be counted among the allied forces.

It has to be said that the world is indeed in chaos today, no matter what monsters and monsters can turn into a regular army, and have a formal official title.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the Baibo thief is headed by Han Siam in name.In fact, it is a team composed of several remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Among them, Yang Feng, Hu Cai and others have no less troops than Han Xian.Originally, their soldiers and horses were far more than [-], and they once reached as many as [-]. However, they lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses because they jointly sent troops with Yu Fuluo to attack Liangzhou.Then there are so many horses left.

Now that Yu Fuluo has been defeated, the Baibo bandits are in constant fear.I am afraid that Li Liqiu from Xiliang will settle accounts and send troops to destroy them.Therefore, in line with the principle of attacking first to be strong and then attacking to suffer.They gladly accepted Yuan Shao's invitation and gathered their troops to meet in Hanoi County.Fortunately, they did not send troops in vain this time. Yuan Shao provided all the food and grass, and there was also a reward of tens of thousands of taels of gold.How could the white wave thieves refuse such a tempting condition, they naturally came out in full force.Fighting the autumn wind with the allied forces, maybe you can get some benefits on the battlefield.

When Han Siam, the leader of the white wave bandits, stepped onto the altar with dignity, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning, with disgust and disdain in his eyes.As if seeing a fly dangling in front of his eyes, he was extremely disgusted.In comparison, Lu Bu has a bit of appreciation for Zhang Yan, the black bandit.Because he had fought with the Black Bandit led by Zhang Yan before, the Black Bandit's fighting power is not weak, especially the tens of thousands of elite infantry and [-] cavalry trained by Zhang Yan himself, the fighting power is quite strong, definitely not inferior to the ones incorporated by Cao Cao Qingzhou soldiers.

At this time, only Xu You continued to read aloud: "The princes of the sixth town, General Jianyi and Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang led the [-]-member alliance!"

"We must win, we must win, we must win!" The slogan shouted by Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses was exactly the same as that of the Jizhou Army, which was a manifestation of Zhang Yang's consistency with Yuan Shao everywhere.Originally, Zhang Yang only had 5000 troops, but since he heard that the Baibo Bandit and the Black Mountain Bandit also came to join the alliance, he was greatly inspired. Within half a month, he recruited 3 young and strong men to make up for [-] men.

Naturally, this move could not be concealed from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and other princes who participated in the secret meeting, but they did not reveal it, and Quan pretended that nothing had happened.After all, the location of the alliance is in Hanoi, and most of Zhang Yang's men are in charge of logistical supplies and escorting supplies, they are not the vanguard of the charge, so it doesn't matter if their combat effectiveness is almost as long as they do daily chores well.

"The princes of the seventh town, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, led the [-]-member alliance!" Xu You read loudly.

This is a fictitious town of princes, numbering [-] in name, but in fact they are all among Lu Bu's [-] troops.Therefore, after Xu You's words fell, Zhang Miao strode forward with several generals and hundreds of personal soldiers, and then stepped up to the altar step by step.

"The princes of the eighth town, the general of the rear, the general under the command of Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu, Wu Chenghou, and Sun Ce, the son of Changsha prefect, led the [-]-member alliance!"

This is the prince of the town that Xu You read the most convolutedly in the book. Yuan Shu is no longer the Nanyang prefect, but he still holds the official position of Nanyang prefect.But the person who led the troops to join the alliance this time was not Yuan Shu, but Jiangdong Sun Ce who was temporarily dormant under Yuan Shu's account.
