Call of the Deer

Chapter 87
In the next few days, as the princes of Dongzhou rushed to Yongding City one after another, the eighteen princes gathered together. The scene was extremely grand. There were nearly 200 million soldiers alone, and the Taiping army was even more numerous.

Among them, Bei Minghao led an army of 20, East Qin King 20, Liu Bei 15, Liu Yu 15, Sun Quan 12, Xiong Xin 12, Qian Sun also had an army of nearly [-], Jiangling nearly [-], and Meng Bo nearly [-]. Ten thousand…

And Zhang Jiao even claimed to have 500 million soldiers, and his momentum was extremely powerful, but he didn't know how many of them were capable of fighting.

The two sides confronted each other on the Luohe Plain, densely packed, surrounded by a murderous atmosphere, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Looking at the Taiping bandit army that could not be seen at a glance, all the princes gasped.

Although the vast majority of people are just ordinary people who have been coerced, they are still horrifying and inexplicable. Everyone is glad that they have joined the alliance, otherwise their own forces can only be submerged in such a vast torrent without even a ripple.

But at this time, the princes and kings of China were invited by Bei Minghao to gather in a big tent, their faces were solemn and gloomy, it was rare to see five hundred and five Taiping bandits without changing their expressions, and Bei Minghao was no different.

Bei Minghao saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he started to wink at Xiong Xin, Qian Sun, and Jiang Ling. The three of them are also people who can read words, otherwise, how could they have achieved their current position and started to act immediately.

"King Yanhuang, the Taiping army is powerful now. In order to prevent the Taiping army from being defeated individually, we must form a group and act in unison so that we can survive in this vast torrent. Therefore, in order to avoid the chaos and fight on our own, we must It is necessary to elect one person to be the leader of the Thieves Suppressing Alliance and make unified arrangements, so that we can work together to overcome the difficulties..."

Qian Sun immediately said in a loud voice, the words already meant something, admonishing everyone to elect a leader, who will make unified deployment and agree to implement the strategy.

"I, Yuzhou, agree..."

"I, Sizhou, agree..."

"Hezhou also agrees..."

.......
"Liuzhou also agrees..."

When everyone heard it, they all agreed and expressed their agreement.

"Then who will be the leader?" Suzhou Liu Yu asked loudly at this time.

"Well, how about this, how about 18 of us each writing a note, and writing the name of the person we think is qualified to be the leader of the alliance. Whoever gets the most support in the end will be the leader of the alliance, how about it?"

Bei Minghao stood up to speak at the right time, expressing his sense of existence, and at the same time proposed an extremely effective method, and now everyone agreed.

Afterwards, everyone wrote down the candidates in their hearts on paper, gathered together one after another, and began to check under the supervision of everyone.

"Hezhou King Meng Bo recommended Yanhuang King as the leader..."

"Sun Quan, the lord of Zhenzhou, elected Yanhuang King as the leader..."

"Linzhou King Li Xian elected East Qin King Li Shimin as the leader..."

"King Zhaolie Liu Bei recommended East Qin King Li Shimin as the leader..."

……

Until the end, Bei Minghao got eight votes, Li Shimin got seven votes, Li Shimin voted for Liu Bei, Bei Minghao voted for Sun Quan, and now only Liu Yu, the lord of Suzhou, is left. All eyes focused on the last note.

But at this moment, Liu Yu was helpless, because in its view, his arch-enemy Liu Bei should choose to support Bei Minghao, so in order to avoid a direct conflict with him, causing unnecessary trouble.

He voted for Li Shimin, firstly because he was friendly with Li Shimin, secondly because he was afraid that Bei Minghao would become bigger because of this, and he was much more afraid of Birmingham than Li Shimin.

"Liu Yu, the lord of Suzhou, recommended Li Shimin, the king of East Qin, as the leader..."

As the shouter shouted loudly, Bei Minghao's face became gloomy, while Li Shimin's originally tense face began to ease. It seems that he has made friends with many princes recently.

Now, everyone was caught in a dilemma again, staring at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Cough, cough, since the two kings have the same number of votes, it means that everyone is looking forward to it. Fan has a plan. The two kings will be the chief and deputy lords respectively. In this way, everyone doesn't need to worry so much..."

At this time, Fan Zeng, who was standing behind Xiongzhi, slowly stood up and said to the crowd.

"Principal and deputy leader?" Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, and began to think about it. After thinking about it, everyone felt that it made sense.

"Then I don't know who will be the leader and who will be the deputy leader?" Sun Quan stood up and said.

"This..." Everyone felt helpless again, and fell into silence for a while.

"Ahem, Mr. Li is not talented. This alliance was initiated by Brother Beiming. In terms of seniority, Mr. Li is not as good as him, so he is willing to be driven by Brother Beiming and be a deputy. Don't be so distressed..."

Suddenly, Li Shimin stood up and said with a bright smile, quite sincerely, he offered to give way to Bei Minghao, saying that he would be his deputy.

What a retreat to advance. If I really care about face, I can only be humble to you. When the time comes, you will go down the ladder and sit firmly on the position of leader. If you don't really covet the position of leader, how can you Will make good friends with other princes in advance, hmph, if this is the case, then I really don't want this face.

When Bei Minghao heard that Li Shimin gave in to him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was extremely cold.

"Well, since brother Li values ​​this subordinate so much, then I will reluctantly be the leader of this alliance. I hope that brother Li will raise more points in the future war, so that we can wipe out this peaceful bandit army as soon as possible, and restore Dongzhou to a peaceful and prosperous world..."

After speaking, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Li Shimin with a smile, but Li Shimin opened his mouth slightly at this moment, incredulous for a moment.

Bei Minghao actually accepted it without making any excuses. He originally planned to accept it when Bei Minghao gave in to him, but Bei Minghao didn't give in at all. Now his stomach full of manuscripts is useless, as if It was a heavy punch that hit Cotton, quite uncomfortable, and a wave of anger and killing intent permeated the air.

However, Li Shimin quickly concealed the killing intent and anger in his heart, and said with a pleasant smile, "How dare Li refuse to follow orders?" A gleam of coldness flashed in the colleague's eyes.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss some specific strategies, and Bei Minghao began to issue orders, appointing Sun Quan as the logistics force, in charge of the alliance's grain and grass, Liu Yu and Liu Bei as the vanguard, and dispatching two people to lead the army to the customs first.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed, leaving only Bei Minghao and his subordinates and advisers in the tent.

"Zizhen, Wenhe, what should our army do next? Since I have become the leader of the alliance, I must lead everyone to fight an exciting battle, otherwise, won't it damage the morale of the alliance?"

At this time, Bei Minghao had a rare look of worry. After all, the Taiping bandits had so many soldiers that they could overwhelm the alliance army just by their numbers.

"My lord, you don't need to be so worried. Although the Taiping bandit army has a large number of people, most of them are just civilians who have no fighting power. As the saying goes, how can an ant kill an elephant, so there is no need to worry too much, but The biggest problem right now is getting a big win to boost the morale of the league..."

Jing Xiang said with a faint smile, he didn't seem to care, or Zhizhu was in his hands, and he was confident.

"Oh, then I don't know what to do?" Bei Minghao saw that Jingxiang was so confident, and Jia Xu was so confident, so he knew that the two of them had a plan in mind, so he hurriedly asked.

Jia Xu and Jingxiang looked at each other, each nodded, and began to write with a pen and paper.

Soon, the two of Jing Xiang finished writing, picked it up and took a look, they were drawing their salaries from the bottom of the pot and breaking the boat.

When Bei Minghao took a look, he looked at the two of them, while Cui Hao and Guo Chongtao became thoughtful when they saw the note.

"My lord, Xu thinks that our army can send out an army to burn down the food and grass in Qingxian County on the border of Yongzhou in one fell swoop. At that time, the enemy army's morale will definitely be disrupted. Our army will take advantage of the situation to pursue it, and we will surely win big. Winning, reaping fruitful results, boosting the morale of the alliance in one fell swoop..." Jia Xu said eloquently.

"What if the enemy is prepared?" Bei Minghao asked suspiciously.

"That's why our army has to put on an appearance of going to a decisive battle to attract the attention of the Taiping bandits. This way, we can assist those who make a surprise attack and burn down the enemy's food and grass. By the time they know it, it is already too late." ..."

Bei Minghao nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time felt that this strategy was very feasible, and at the same time looked at Jingxiang.

"My lord, Xiang believes that our alliance army is all well-trained, and each state basically has generals that can be used. In this way, our army can use the strategy of breaking the boat to cut off the back of our soldiers in one fell swoop. The increase is countless times higher, and the combat power will increase sharply immediately, and it will surely defeat the Taiping army in one fell swoop..."

When Bei Minghao heard Jing Xiang's strategy, he immediately gasped. This strategy was extremely dangerous, and it was a slant strategy. It was either life or death, and it was also a trick to end the battle quickly.

For a while, Bei Minghao fell into deep thought, unable to make a decision.
