Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 12
Li Song ordered someone to send Dong Zhuo's messenger out of Linlu County, and asked him to return to Luoyang to tell Dong Zhuo his position. After that, the days were spent in peace, but it was broken when a person arrived.

On this day, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, came to Hanoi County, directly found Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, and was warmly received by Wang Kuang.

After all, the Yuan family is a noble family of four generations and three lords, with disciples and old officials all over the world, the treatment Yuan Shao enjoys is naturally not comparable to that of Li Song.

After Yuan Shao arrived in Hanoi, Li Song sent someone to send Yuan Shao a letter saying that he wanted to join them in the crusade against Dong Zhuo. He didn't expect Yuan Shao to agree boldly after reading his letter and let him go to the Suanzao Allied Army The temporary camps meet for a military meeting.

What he didn't expect was that the reason why Yuan Shao agreed was not the content of the letter, but the words "Master Yuan Shao" at the beginning played a crucial role.

"My lord! We will go to the camp of the Suanzao allied army ahead, and join the other princes!" Pei Yuanqing pointed to the camp in front of him and said to Li Song. Li Song and his party finally arrived at Suanzao after a long journey.

"Yes! This journey is really not easy! It's finally here! Brothers, work harder, we're going to get there soon." Li Song shouted to the soldiers.

In front of the gate of the Suanzao Allied Forces camp, the guards stopped them and said to Li Song: "My lord! This is the residence of Master Wang. May I ask what your lord is doing here?"

"Blind you dog eyes! This is my Lord Li Song, the prefect of Shangdang County, who is here to participate in the big plan to defeat Dong, so hurry up and get out of the way!" Before Li Song could speak, Li Yuanba stepped forward and pointed at the guard with a hammer. .

"Yuanba, don't be rude! Come back!" Li Song stopped Li Yuanba and said to the guards, "I was invited by Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao to discuss the important matter of crusade against Dong Zhuo. I also ask this big brother to let me go!"

The guard and his companion looked at each other, and said to Li Song, "I don't know if there is a document? Can you let me have a look."

"Of course!" Li Song smiled and motioned to Pei Yuanqing who was on the side. Pei Yuanqing took out the document from his arms knowingly and handed it to the guard for inspection.

After checking that the document was correct, the guard hurriedly handed it back to Pei Yuanqing, and said to Li Song, "Please forgive me! If there is any negligence, please forgive me!"

"My lord, please! Let go!" Turning around, he shouted to his comrades behind him, and the rest of the guards hurriedly removed the roadblock, allowing Li Song and his party to pass through and enter the camp.

"Brother, are all the adults attending the meeting here?" Li Song asked the soldier leading him.

"Return to my lord! In addition to Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, Yuan Yi, and Bao Xin who were stationed here in Suanzao, Lord Yuan Shao, Lord Wang Kuang, and Lord Zhang Yang rushed here yesterday morning."

"Yesterday afternoon, Lord Yuan Shu and Lord Gongsun Zan also came here, and now with you, Lord, a total of nineteen troops have arrived," said the soldier leading the way.

Zhang Yang?Li Song knew this man, he was Wu Meng under Ding Yuan, he followed Ding Yuan to Luoyang, and later He Jin asked him to go back to Bingzhou to recruit soldiers, after Ding Yuan was killed, he disappeared, and he did not expect to meet him here.

"My lord! This is the place for discussion, please wait a moment, my lord, and let me report." The soldier said, and after Li Song nodded, he went to report.

Soon the soldiers came out from inside and said to Li Song: "Please come in, my lords. You have been waiting for a long time." After saying that, he stepped aside and let Li Song in through the passage.

"Yuanba, Yuanqing, you two are waiting for me here!" Li Song said to Li Yuanba and Pei Yuanqing, Li Song was afraid that Li Yuanba would cause trouble after entering.

"No!" Pei Yuanqing said respectfully, Li Yuanba was about to speak up to object, but was held back by Pei Yuanqing, so he had to stay reluctantly, Li Song couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and stepped in.

After Li Song came in, while looking at the people here, they were also looking at Li Song, "It's Li's fault for keeping you adults waiting for a long time! Please forgive me!" Li Song bowed.

"Prefect Li is out of sight, and everyone who is sitting next is a big man who attacked Dong Zhuo, so there is no need to be polite! Take your seat quickly." Yuan Shao said first.

"Thank you! Master Yuan! And all your lords!" After finishing speaking, he sat down at the end.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss the course of action. But before that, I personally think it's better to choose a leader to lead everyone." Yuan Shao continued.

"I agree with Brother Benchu's proposal! Benchu ​​is the fourth generation and the third prince, with many disciples and old officials. After I am a famous minister in the Han Dynasty, I should be the leader of the alliance." As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, a tall and short man stood up. But the eyes are bright, this person is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is the shortest of all the people here, and even Li Song is a little taller than him.

"Meng De is right! Please agree with Ben Chu!" Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang also stood up and agreed.

"Oh! How good is this! How can I, Yuan Shao, be able to take on this important task, and please choose another sage to be the leader!" Yuan Shao hastily declined.

Yuan Shao's flickering eyes betrayed his heart. No one here is a fool, so he can naturally understand that it is a lie that Yuan Shao does not want to be the leader.

So everyone asked Yuan Shao to be the leader again, Yuan Shao again found a reason to decline, and everyone then asked Yuan Shao to be the leader for the third time.

"Since that's the case! I, Yuan Shao, will be disrespectful. As the leader of this coalition, please join me in attacking Dong Zhuo and helping the great Han." Yuan Shao did not refuse this time, but on the surface he pretended to be very embarrassed.

Li Song, who saw it, said in his heart that he had learned a lot. This trip was not in vain, and he learned a lot of useful things from it.

"Follow the leader's order!" Everyone clasped their fists and bowed to salute. Li Song followed Yuan Shao's example and saluted. Yuan Shao happily announced the end of the meeting, and held a big banquet in the evening. The alliance will be made tomorrow.

The next day, Yuan Shao walked step by step onto the high stage that was temporarily built last night, read out the important program of the alliance, then made the alliance with blood, and finally proclaimed himself a general of chariots and cavalry. They were all mixed up with the vain post of Captain An Ning.

The alliance against Dong Zhuo was formally established, Yuan Shao stepped down, and everyone returned to the camp of the central army. The leader Yuan Shao sat in the middle seat, and the others sat down according to their titles and ages, and Li Song was still at the bottom.

Yuan Shao once again set up a banquet in the tent of the Chinese army camp to show his congratulations, Li Song shook his head, this is not a war at all, it is simply going to this place to choose a leader, and then hold a banquet.

Expecting them to defeat Dong Zhuo is basically a dream, and coming here by yourself is just a process.
