Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

315 Chapter 313, the fall of Sishui Pass
Everyone sat down, and everyone looked at Liu Bei.

It was Cao Cao who spoke first: "Mr. Xuande, the so-called snake has no head. We are gathered here now. In order to unify orders, we are discussing who can be the leader of the alliance. We were still hesitating at first, but now Xuande Duke De is here, and the position of the leader of the alliance must belong to Duke Xuande, what do you think?"

Everyone else followed suit.

Although many people don't like Liu Bei now, they cannot deny Liu Bei's reputation and influence.

Among the princes of the Seventeenth Route, Liu Bei's prestige and power are not the second choice.

Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are far inferior to Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao also pinched his nose and said: "What Meng De said is true, the position of the leader must be held by Duke Xuande."

At that moment, there were voices of approval in the tent.

Liu Bei glanced at everyone calmly, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, but Bei is deeply aware of the shallowness of virtue. For the position of leader, please choose someone else who is better."

After finishing speaking, no matter what other people said, Liu Bei sternly refused.

In the end, everyone saw that Liu Bei really had no intention of being the leader, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If Liu Bei really didn't refuse, everyone could only hold their noses and admit it.

Fortunately, Liu Bei refused.

Since Liu Bei refused, it was logical that Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance.

It's not much of a choice either.

Of course some people are dissatisfied, such as Gongsun Zan.

Compared with Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, Gongsun Zan prefers Liu Bei to be the leader of the alliance.

After all, the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei is very good now.

Because Gongsun Zan cooperated very well with Liu Bei's five counties in the Northland.

Now that the five counties in the Northlands plus Gongsun Zan, in the past few years, they have beaten the northern barbarians to the ground.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the others have also gone mad over the past few years. Whenever they had the opportunity, they went to the grassland for a walk. All the Hu people they killed started to flee north or west.

Let's put it this way, the five northern counties plus Gongsun Zan have completely become a barrier to the north of the Han Dynasty.

The Hu people did not dare to go south and herded horses.

In the past few years, the military strength of the five counties in the Northland has become very strong, with tens of thousands of cavalry troops.

On the northern border, if you want to deal with the barbarians, infantry is useless, you must use cavalry.

And Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou are all experts in commanding cavalry.

Especially Lu Bu, the strength of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry he trained is simply terrifying.

Lu Bu led three thousand Bingzhou wolf riders, and he was invincible across the grassland.

No one or any tribe is his opponent.

Even against tens of thousands of grassland tribes, Lu Bu can kill seven in and seven out of them.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are similar.

However, Liu Bei sternly refused, which made Gongsun Zan a little confused.

When it comes to the understanding of Jingzhou, I am afraid that no one here knows better than Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, the current Gongsun Zan is different from the historical Gongsun Zan.

In history, Gongsun Zan's original character was self-willed, and his white horse righteousness traveled across Youzhou to hang and beat barbarians, which made him even more arrogant.

It's different now, he deeply felt the strength of the five counties in the Northland.

Not to mention the five counties, even if one of them was selected, Gongsun Zan didn't realize that he would be able to win.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan vaguely had an idea now, maybe his fellow apprentice could be the emperor?
For Gongsun Zan, Chen Yuan actually wanted to take it for his own use.

Anyway, Gongsun Zan is also an excellent cavalry commander.

There are never too many such talents, and they will be used in future expeditions to the west or north.

After everyone elected the leader, the original intention ended here.

But at this time someone suddenly said that this person is none other than Xi Zhicai.

This time when we came to Suanzao, the generals brought Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, and the military advisors were Xi Zhicai and Xun You.

Guan Yu and Gu Yong stayed behind in Jingzhou.

Xi Zhicai said: "Wait a minute, my lords, although His Royal Highness King Yan has no intention of being the leader, but as my lord, don't you want to give me the position of deputy leader or honorary leader?"

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, everyone was stunned.

That's right, although Liu Bei resigned from the position of leader, everyone couldn't help but show.

Otherwise, it would be to despise Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei has no idea, people in the world will inevitably not think so.

Ever since, Liu Bei was made the deputy leader at the moment, and it was agreed that Liu Bei had the right to make impromptu decisions under certain circumstances.

The certain situation mentioned here refers to the time when Yuan Shao can't take care of things, or when he divides his troops.

The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Suanzao must be divided.

At that time, Liu Bei will be the natural commander of the other army.

This is the effect Chen Yuan wanted.

If Suanzao wants to enter Luoyang, it is nothing more than Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass.

As for Mengjin, the coalition forces couldn't gather warships for a while, so they couldn't detour from the Yellow River and attack Luoyang from the north of Luoyang.

Therefore, the two checkpoints of Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass are now placed in front of the coalition forces.

These two checkpoints are guarded by generals sent by Dong Zhuo from Luoyang.

Of course, there were also people stationed by Chen Yuan earlier.

However, Wei Yan and Wenpin, who Chen Yuan arranged for, were the captains of Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass.

In fact, Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass are the Revolving Gate Pass and Yuan Pass among the eight passes in Luoyang.

Because everyone is used to calling it Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass here, it is called this.

The leader of the alliance has been determined. The next day, a three-story platform will be built, with flags from five directions laid out all over the place. On the top, a Baiyan Huangyue will be built, and the soldiers will be printed. Please show up to the altar.

Shao dressed up and sabered, and went up, burning incense and worshiping again.

The alliance said:
The Han Dynasty was unfortunate, and the Emperor Gang lost its order.Dong Zhuo, a traitor minister, took advantage of provocations to harm the Supreme Being and abused the common people.Fearing the loss of the country, Shao and others rallied volunteer soldiers and went to the country.Where we are in an alliance and work together to achieve the festival of ministers, there must be no two ambitions.If there is an alliance with Yu, you will be killed, and there will be no inheritance.Empress Dowager Land, Ancestor Ming Ling, all learn from it!
To be honest, this oath is actually a hidden mystery.

Unfortunately, there is nothing wrong with the Han Dynasty, but there is a problem with the sentence that Huang Gang lost his authority.

What is the loss of the emperor's rule? Although Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, isn't the current emperor also the son of Emperor Ling of Han?
It's not considered unorthodox, at most it's just abolishing the heirs and establishing the concubines.

The problem is not too big.

The reason why Yuan Shao said that was naturally to have ulterior motives.

After reading the blood, all the people burst into tears because of their generosity.

Liu Bei watched their performance from the sidelines, expressing that there was no disturbance.

He has seen through these powerful families for a long time now, so he is not surprised.

After drinking the blood, go down to the altar.

All the people help Shao to raise their tents and sit down. The two rows are arranged according to the title and age.

Conducted a number of rounds of drinking, and said: "Since the leader of the alliance is established today, each will listen to his orders and help the country together. Don't care about strength."

Yuan Shao said: "Although Shao is not talented, he has been promoted as the leader of the alliance by the public. He must be rewarded for his meritorious service and punished for his crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by it and not violate it."

Everyone said that life is to listen.

Shao said: "My younger brother Yuan Shu, the governor, has enough food and grass to meet the camps. There is no shortage. One person is needed to be the commander of the division and go straight to the Sishui Pass to challenge. The rest of them think that they will respond according to the danger."

Having said that, Yuan Shao glanced at the people in the tent: "I don't know who is willing to be the commander of the division, break the Sishui Pass, and boost the army's prestige."

All did not speak.

In history, it should be Sun Jian who jumped out, but it is a pity that Sun Jian is now because of Chen Yuan's strong insertion, and now Sun Jian has not won the prefect of Changsha, so he has no credit for suppressing the rebellion district star, so Sun Jian is now killing the white tiger in Wujun Woolen cloth.

This guy who should have been killed by Sun Ce in history is about to become the ghost under Sun Jian's sword.

Therefore, Sun Jian didn't come to attack Dong Zhuo either, not because he didn't want to come, but because he couldn't leave.

To put it bluntly, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo were at odds.

When they were under Zhang Wen, Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo.

It's a pity that Zhang Wen didn't listen.

However, it was also because of this that Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo formed a hatred.

As for why Sun Jian can't understand Dong Zhuo, this is a mystery.

Anyway, Sun Jian just didn't like Dong Zhuo.

If there was no such thing as Yan Baihu, Sun Jian would have raised his sword to kill Dong Zhuo.

In the end, Liu Bei said: "Since Bei is the deputy leader, leave the Sishui Pass to me."

Seeing Liu Bei took over the job, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, most of the princes here came to make soy sauce.

They didn't really plan to invade Luoyang, they just came to earn prestige.

Since it is a division of troops, Liu Bei certainly cannot go alone.

At that moment Yuan Shao asked: "Is there any gentleman who is willing to go to Sishui Pass with Duke Xuande?"

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, and Ma Teng were willing to follow Liu Bei to Sishui Pass.

Needless to say, Gongsun Zan, he will naturally follow Liu Bei.

Kong Rong also consciously has friendship with Liu Bei, so it is safer to go to Liu Bei.

As for Tao Qian and Ma Teng, Tao Qian thinks that Liu Bei is more pleasing to the eye, at least much more pleasing to the eye than Yuan Shao.

Where's Ma Teng?
That's because my son is still studying at Xiangyang Academy, and he has some friendship.

Ever since, the princes of the five routes formed a branch army and came straight to Sishui Pass.

The current commander of Sishuiguan is Hua Xiong.

Of course, this was also Chen Yuan's special arrangement for Wenpin to back down. He asked Wenpin to wait for the opportunity, and once Liu Bei sent a signal, he would sacrifice Guancheng.

Now, of course, is not the time.

When Liu Bei arrived at Sishui Pass, he did not immediately attack the city, but waited for news from Jinfengwei.

What news, that is the news that Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Huai.

Once Dong Zhuo kills Yuan Huai, Yuan Shao is bound to go crazy, and will definitely attack Hulao Pass crazily.

Today's Hulao Pass does not have Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is now beheading barbarians on the grassland.

Of course, with Wei Yan around, Yuan Shao would not be able to break through Hulao Pass so easily.

Moreover, it is Guo Si who is currently guarding Hulao Pass.

Guo Si is not only very strong in personal force, but also has extraordinary ability to command troops.

Liu Ai, the attendant at the time, believed that Li Jue and Guo Si were superior to Sun Jian in their ability to fight with troops.

As you can imagine, this is a tricky character.

Even if Wei Yan didn't exert his strength, with such a character guarding Hulao Pass, it would not be an easy task for Yuan Shao and the others to break through Hulao Pass.

Liu Bei arrived at Sishui Pass, and within three days, he received news from Jinfengwei that Dong Zhuo had killed someone.

Not only killed Yuan Huai, but also killed a large number of ministers.

Huang Wan, Xun Shuang, Zhou Yan, Wu Qiong, etc. killed hundreds of people in one go, all of them were important officials in the court.

All of a sudden, Luoyang Chaotang was almost half empty.

Of course, Jia Xu and Li Ru contributed to this.

Liu Bei, who received the news, would wait any longer, and Dong Zhuo would run away if he waited any longer.

Ever since, Liu Bei beat the drums and gathered the generals, anxious for the princes to come.

By the way, send a signal to Wenpin in Sishui Pass, so that Wenpin is ready to offer the pass.

After a while, all the princes have rushed to the tent of the Chinese army.

Liu Bei sat in the tent and said to the princes: "My lords, everything is ready now. Today is the time to conquer Sishui in one fell swoop and serve the country. Are you willing to work hard together with me?"

When Liu Bei said this, he was holding two swords in his hands, his eyes revealed a murderous look, and the majesty of the commander of the army was fully displayed.

The others naturally had no opinion and did not dare to have any opinion.

So the crowd gathered their forces and came to the pass of Sishui.

Liu Bei was also benevolent and righteous, and directly ordered the Jingzhou army to go first, and the armies of the other princes to hold the line.

In an instant, the shouts of killing soared to the sky, and thousands of Jingzhou troops began to attack the city with arrows like locust feathers.

Although Wenpin had been notified to prepare for dedicating the city, he had to pretend to distract the soldiers above the city.

After all, Dong Zhuo sent Hua Xiong to guard the Sishui Pass.

Sure enough, the Jingzhou army's powerful offensive attracted Hua Xiong's attention, and he had no time to go to Guan Wenpin.

Wenpin quietly came to the city gate. At this time, Wenpin's soldiers had already ambushed. He cut down the soldiers Hua Xiong sent to guard the city gate, and then closed Sishui. The door opened.

The process was extremely short, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.

In fact, it was true. The whole process had already been rehearsed countless times in Wenpin's mind.

After opening the city gate, Wenpin directly led his soldiers and began to hack and kill the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

For a while, there was chaos in Sishui Pass.

Seeing that the city gate was opened, there was chaos in Guanzhong.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, knowing that it was Wenpin who opened the city gate.

At that moment Liu Bei waved the two swords in his hands: "The gate of the city has been opened, all the soldiers follow me to rush."

As he said that, Liu Bei rushed out with a BMW under his crotch.

Liu Bei knew that there should be no time for him to charge forward in the future. If he didn't seize the opportunity at this time, he would have no chance.

Seeing that Liu Bei rushed out by himself, Zhang Fei couldn't hold back, so he also rushed out on horseback.

Seeing that the two chief generals rushed forward, the morale of the Jingzhou army was immediately boosted, and they rushed forward with shouts.

Liu Bei is in the Chinese army. Seeing that the Chinese army rushed out, what can the other princes do?
Of course they rushed together.

Good guy, this 10,000+ army is rushing towards Sishui Pass.

It directly frightened Hua Xiong and Xiliang Army above Guancheng.

Not to mention the 10,000+ army outside the city, just say that the gates of this city are lost, so why not keep guard, let's run.

Hua Xiong was also decisive, without any hesitation, he led his people and ran away from the Guancheng exit on the other side.

Sishui Pass has fallen!
