The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221 The Suanzao League is over

On the sacrificial altar, the objects for sacrifice had already been prepared, so what Yuan Shao did was just going through the motions.Boarded the altar, performed a symbolic ceremony, and then began to read the covenant aloud:
"The Han Dynasty is unlucky, and the emperor's principles are out of order. The traitor Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of the quarrel, harmed the supreme, and abused the common people. Fearing the loss of the country, Shao and others gathered righteous soldiers and went to the country. All of us are allies, work together, so that There must be no two ambitions in the festival of ministers. If you have this alliance, you will lose your life, and there will be no inheritance. The emperor and the land, the ancestors and the spirit, all learn from it."

After the reading, Yuan Shao drew out the sword from his waist, cut his finger, and a trace of blood flowed out, dripping into a bowl of wine, and the rest of the people repeated the same action.

At the beginning of November 190 AD, Yuan Shao Yu Suanzao assumed the position of leader of the Allied Army against Dong.

There were seventeen vassals in the rebel army. The first town was Yuan Shu, the later general of Nanyang; the second town was Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou; the third town was Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou; the fourth town was Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou; the fifth town was Hanoi County. Prefect Wang Kuang; sixth town, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao; seventh town, Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao; eighth town, Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi; ninth town, Jinbei chancellor Bao Xin; tenth town, Beihai prefect Kong Rong; No.11 town, Guangling prefect Zhang Chao; No.12 town, Xuzhou governor Tao Qian; No.13 town, Xiliang prefect Ma Teng; No.14 town, General Zhengbei, Liaodong prefect Huo Yu; No. In Town 15, Zhang Yang, prefect of Shangdang; Town No.16, Prefect Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Changsha; Town No.17, Prefect Yuan Shao, Marquis of Qixiang Bohai.

The coalition forces claim to have 60 troops, but in fact there are only less than 30. Ma Teng has not yet arrived after a long journey from Xiliang.

Later, Yuan Shuzheng was appointed as the supervisor of grain and grass, responsible for the allocation of grain and grass in the whole army, and Cao Cao was in charge of supervising the military discipline of the whole army.The news spread to Luoyang immediately, and the entire ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

"Everyone, who is willing to be the vanguard in the first battle of the coalition forces?" Yuan Shao, who was sitting high on the main seat, said vigorously.

You look at me from all walks of life, and I look at you, and no one comes out.Zhang Fei who was behind Huo Yu was a little restless, but Huang Zhong firmly stood behind him. This kind of thing is not up to them as subordinates.

Yuan Shao's eyes glanced, the first battle must be won, he hoped that Huo Yu would take the initiative to fight, but when he looked at Huo Yu, Huo Yu did not meet his eyes, Yuan Shao looked at him again in desperation.

In the corner of the big tent, Sun Jian first looked at Huo Yu, and then stepped forward.Originally, he thought that Huo Yu, the general who conquered the north, would grab the vanguard position, but Huo Yu turned a blind eye and had no intention of sending troops.Now Sun Jian didn't hesitate anymore, he got up and went out and said, "I report to the lord, I am determined to be the vanguard and take down the Surabaya pass!"

"Hahahaha! Wentai is brave, and he will definitely win Sishuiguan!" After finishing his speech, he handed over the general to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian, who was too in charge, left excitedly. At this time, Huo Yu was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

"Save? Don't save?" After much deliberation, Huo Yu decided that it would be better to save him. After all, Sun Jian didn't show any hostility towards him, but instead showed a sense of closeness. Perhaps it was because of Zhu Jun.

Not long after Sun Jian left, Huo Yu found an excuse to get out of the Chinese army.The exaggerated talk of those people in the tent is really unbearable.Especially those brothers who flatter and flatter Yuan Shao are really shameless.

After leaving the big tent, Huo Yu immediately ordered Liao Hua to go back to the camp to prepare a ration to send to Sun Jian's camp, and then hurried to go first.

In Sun Jian's camp, Sun Jian, who had just returned from the vanguard position, was calling the generals to discuss matters in his tent.Suddenly hearing the report from the guards, Huo Yu, the general who conquered the north, asked to see him.Sun Jian immediately got up and went out of the tent to greet Wen.

"Hahaha! Huo Zhengbei must have something important to come here, please come in and discuss it!" Although Sun Jian is straightforward, he is not stupid. As soon as he arrived, Huo Yu came to discuss something.

"Brother Wentai saw that he was attacking the Yellow Turban that day, and my brother was a general under Zhu Shishu's camp. I heard about it, and I hate seeing each other too late! Wouldn't it be better to be called a brother?"

"If that's the case, I'll take care of you!"

"Brother Wentai, please, Brother Polu, please! Hahahaha!" The two laughed and entered the tent. Huo Yu saw that all four of Sun Jian's generals were there, and there was also a young general who looked very similar to Sun Jian, so there was no need to guess. It must be Sun Ce, known as the Jiangdong Tiger in the future.

After taking his seat, Sun Jian introduced his generals one by one, but he didn't introduce Sun Ce, probably because he didn't want outsiders to know!Seeing this, Huo Yu didn't point it out, but chatted and laughed with everyone.

"What's the important thing here, Brother Polu?" After chatting for a while, Sun Jian directly got into the topic.

"Brother Wentai, I'm not going to hide this, but I have something important to do here!" Huo Yu said lightly.

"Xian brother said while he had something to say, he is a straight-tempered brother!"

In the next half an hour, Huo Yu told all the things he knew, but these were just his personal suggestions. The most important thing was to tell Sun Jian to be careful of the Yuan brothers, and he made it clear that he would arrange a batch of food and grass later. Then send it over.

Hearing that there was food and grass to send, Sun Jian happily patted Huo Yu on the shoulder.For this alliance with wild jujubes, he didn't bring much food and grass, so Huo Yu's move was undoubtedly a timely help.

"The love of a virtuous brother will be rewarded generously for my brother in the future!"

"Brother Wentai is serious. It should be the same for the country to eliminate thieves! Among the coalition forces, there are only a few people who can really contribute."

After finishing speaking, there happened to be a personal guard to report that the food sent by the Liaodong Army had arrived.After receiving the food, Huo Yu bid farewell and returned to the camp. Before leaving, he once again told Sun Jian to beware of night raids, and if he had any difficulties, he could send someone to report, and he would definitely do his best.

Watching Huo Yu's leaving back, Sun Jian turned back to the big tent without saying a word.

"My lord (father)?" Everyone followed closely and asked.

"Huo Yu is worthy of deep friendship! Send an order to the whole army to prepare, and the soldiers will march to Sishui Pass tomorrow morning!" After Sun Jian finished speaking, he waved away the crowd, leaving only Sun Ce by his side.

"Bo Fu, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can find Huo Yu!"

"Father?"

"Don't ask why, trust your own judgment for the father! Have you ever remembered?"

"My child remembers it!"

Early the next morning, Sun Ce led his troops and headed for Sishui Pass in a mighty manner.

Luoyang, in recent days, Dong Zhuo has been living in the palace, and countless concubines and palace maids have been toyed and killed by him. The whole palace, including the emperor Liu Xie, regards him as a devil.

Fortunately, news has spread in recent days that the princes of the Kanto have gathered in the Seventeenth Route, raising 60 troops to attack Dong Zhuo.Although there is the natural danger of Sishui Pass, Liu Xie already has hope in his heart.

Above the main hall of the imperial palace, Dong Zhuo swung his sword angrily and killed several eunuchs and maids before he stopped his anger!In his heart, he secretly scolded Yuan Shao's children as despicable and shameless.

"Father-in-law, the coalition army's military strategy is Sishui Pass, because immediately send generals to guard it!" Li Ru reminded at the right time.

"Father, the child is willing to go!" As soon as he heard that there was a battle, Lu Bu was as excited as if he had been beaten.

"My lord, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer! The last general, Hua Xiong, is willing to go!"

Dong Zhuo laughed, first appeased Lu Bu, and then ordered Hua Xiong to lead [-] troops, assisted by Li Su, to guard Sishui Pass!
