Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 223
There are only seven people who are qualified to be called princes in this jujube alliance.

Among them, there are three people who are called kings. They are all heroes who have defeated the Qin army, and their achievements are enough to call them kings.

Only those who have made great achievements in defeating the Qin army are qualified to be called princes. Therefore, there are only seven princes in this jujube alliance. And the princes who came here are all those. Who are their names?
On the first route, King Zhao and Yuan Shao led an army of one hundred thousand;

On the second route, the King of Chu, Xiang Jian, led an army of one hundred thousand;

On the third route, the King of Han, Liu Hua, led an army of one hundred thousand;

The fourth route, Qihou, Tian Dan, led an army of [-];

On the fifth route, Wu Hou and Zhu Hai led [-] troops;

On the sixth route, the Marquis of Hanzhong, Liu Yu, led [-] troops;
On the seventh route, Wagangzhai, Li Mi led [-] troops;
These seven princes all had impressive records against the Qin Dynasty and could be described as powerful forces.

Except for the seven most powerful princes' troops, the rest are scattered small troops. Each route has as many as ten or twenty thousand, and as few as two or three thousand. They are all small forces.

Wei Bao, the Marquis of Wei, Tao Qian, the Mu of Xuzhou, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, Wang Shichong, the governor of Shangdang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, Huang Zu of Jiangxia, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, etc. Everyone is in this category, and they will choose to attach themselves to Yuan Shao, Xiang Jian, and Tian Dan.

Sour dates!

At this time, the flags covered the sky and the sun, and the dark soldiers were densely packed in the camps. There were hundreds of thousands of troops entrenched here.

The banners of various princes were flapping in the strong wind. At this time, in the Chinese army's tent, princes from all over the country were sitting quietly.

The spacious tent exuded warmth, and the princes inside the tent looked even more excited.

"Thanks to your recommendation, let me lead all the armies to fight against the Qin Dynasty!" Xiang Jian sat at the top of the table with a heroic look on his face. Below him, heroes from all over the world sat on both sides, chatting happily for a while.

After all, Xiang Jian became the leader of the alliance. After promising Liu Hua many benefits, he got his wish and became the leader of the alliance.

As for Yuan Shao, he can only take the position of deputy leader to supervise the grain and grass logistics.

"Xiang is a general of the Great Chu State. It is the people's aspiration for you to lead the people. General Xiang Jian, you are so polite!" Wei Bao said flatteringly.

Xiang Jian planned to use his strength to overwhelm others in this battle and directly attack Hulao Pass without any strategy, just relying on the numbers.

In the past, the Chu State was suppressed by the Qin State. Now as the leader of the alliance, I finally have the opportunity to deal with the violent Qin in the same way.

The army marched towards Hulao Pass in a mighty manner. Xiang Jian's move was indeed a good strategy. After all, the initiative rested with the coalition forces. Xiang Jian could use any method he wanted.

Xiang Jian wanted a decisive battle at Hulao Pass, so Da Qin had no choice but to fight Xiang Jian at Hulao Pass. After all, Da Qin's goal was not simply to defeat the coalition forces, but to severely damage the coalition forces and reunify the world.

Moreover, this strategy is very beneficial to Xiang Jian. Fan Zeng, Xiang Jian's subordinate, has already analyzed it and the victory is [-]-[-].

Seeking defeat before fighting is the basic quality of a counselor. A group of people have already calculated the future path.

Xiang Jian deliberately indulged the selfishness of the princes. Anyway, the more people died at that time, the weaker the opponents he would face in the future. This was very beneficial to Xiang Jian.

But Liu Hua knew very well that Xiang Jian's plan was bound to fail, because the coalition forces all had their own agendas, especially because there were too many pig teammates among them. As the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, be afraid of teammates who are like pigs."

In particular, Da Qin's hard power is far superior to that of the coalition forces. The best way is to divide the troops into five groups, take a small route all the way around to the back of Hulao Pass to cause damage, attract the attention of Hulao Pass along the way, and then attack all the way around. Behind Luoyang, they cut off the traffic between Hangu Pass and Luoyang all the way to prevent Da Qin from dispatching troops to support Hulao Pass, and finally went all the way to Rongyang to cut off the Qin army's retreat.

This was Cao Cao's original proposal to deal with Dong Zhuo in history. It could maximize the advantage of the coalition's large number of soldiers and generals, which could completely make Qin exhausted.And this is also Liu Hua's purpose, so that Liu Hua can divide his troops openly and use the power of the princes to attack other checkpoints, so that he can completely occupy the four counties of Sizhou for himself.

Xiang Jian said: "Hulao Pass is a dangerous place in the world. Now that the Qin army is maintaining stability, I don't know who is willing to be the vanguard and fight the first battle for our coalition!"

After hearing this, everyone present looked at me and I looked at you. To be honest, no one wanted to.

It's very simple. They are nobles. They have regained the title of king from nothing, so they cherish the power in their hands.

They know that no matter how much they value their own bloodline, if they don't have enough troops, they will have nothing in the end!
Of course, I was somewhat afraid of the Qin Army. After all, the Qin Army's brutality had once caused them to lose their glory.

Therefore, when Xiang Jian asked this question, the nobles of Qi and Wei who originally surrounded Xiang Liang were all silent.

"Liu Yu is willing to go!" "Ceyu is willing to go!" Liu Yu and Xiang Ceyu stood up without any hesitation.

As Xiang Jian's son, Xiang Ceyu naturally had to be the first to stand up and support his father.

Liu Yu had a tacit understanding with Liu Hua. Through Fazheng's message, Liu Yu also understood part of Liu Hua's plan.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Jian felt somewhat relieved. He thought for a while and said, "Which of you can test the strength of the Hulao Pass defenders?"

"Yes!" The two of them replied almost in unison.

Xiang Nuoge concluded: "Then Yu'er will lead [-] troops as the vanguard, and General Liu Yu will accompany the army to provide support. This battle is the first battle between our army and the Qin army, and we will definitely show our army's majesty."

"No!" When the two heard this, they received the military order, and then went down to rectify their troops and prepare to attack.

After having enough food and wine, the big strategy has been decided. Xiang Ceyu also took the position of vanguard and planned to explore the wind. After all, it was not clear who the guard of Sishui Pass was at this time. As for the other princes, they were just wandering around. Heading towards Hulao Pass, the soldiers' high speed is not suitable for this battle.

After the meeting of the princes, they all returned to their respective camps. Liu Hua's camp was naturally close to Liu Yu. The two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, so they naturally wanted to have a good chat.

Apart from anything else, Liu Yu's civil and military personnel are worthy of him to have a good look at. The civil personnel include Xiao He, Liu Muzhi, Pang Tong, Fazheng, Zhang Su, Zhang Song, and Wang Lei, and the military personnel include Yang Jian, Tan Daoji, and Wang Zhene. , Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Shen Tianzi, Zhu Lingshi, under their command were two imperial guards, the Beifu Army and Yang Jian's Caotou Shen.

"Brother, these nobles are so mean, but when they need to go to war, they are more cowardly than the others. I think this coalition will definitely lose!" Liu Yu said disdainfully.

"It is the duty of our generation to resist the Qin Dynasty together." Liu Hua said, but he didn't even believe it, and said, "The vanguard may not lose in this battle, but the loss will definitely be not small, and Hulao Pass The defense will definitely be further improved. Only in this way can I achieve the effect I want."

Hearing Liu Hua's words, Liu Yu asked curiously: "If my brother's attack on the Qin coalition cannot break Hulao Pass, what good will it do to us?"

To be honest, Liu Yu didn't want to follow the army. Besides he really didn't think the Hulao Pass defenders would be weak, and he also felt that his teammates were pigs.

Although it seems that the 60 coalition troops are outnumbered here, but who among these people has actually seen the Great Qin soldiers.

Liu Hua said: "If the Qin army's reinforcements have not arrived and the Qin army's strength is far inferior to ours, Xiang Jian will definitely want the coalition forces to attack Luoyang through Hulao. After all, the casualties of such an attack will be minimal. And if the Qin army's reinforcements arrive, the attack will Hulao Pass will fall into a war of attrition, and the casualties of a forced attack will be too great, but I can divide my forces in an honest way and lead an army to attack other passes."

Liu Yu understood Liu Hua's purpose instantly.His eyes lit up and he said: "If Hulao Pass is not captured, we will have reason to divide our troops and stay outside, and the military orders will be ignored."

When the time comes, the building will collapse and his army will be overwhelmed by 50 million troops. Even if Liu Hua wants to stabilize it, it will be impossible to do so.

Therefore, when Hulao Pass cannot be captured, it is better to capture other passes first and have the right to fight independently.
