Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 68 The Princes Gather
Soon, Yuan Shao led [-] troops and all civil and military officials to join Cao Cao in Chenliu.

Even Liu Qi was invited by Cao Cao to live in the camp.

After the three met, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao jointly issued an edict against Dong Zhuo, and sent people to the states and counties quickly.The edict said:

We would like to declare to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and murdered the king;Today, according to a secret edict, a large number of volunteer soldiers are gathered, vowing to wipe out the Central Plains and wipe out the culprits.Wang Xing volunteers to vent public anger; support the royal family and save the people.When the edict arrives, it can be implemented as soon as possible!
After the edict was issued and reached the hands of those in power in the states and counties, unlike He Jin who wanted to call in foreign soldiers to get rid of the eunuchs, the princes of all towns responded to the call and led their troops to come.

After all, when He Jin issued the secret edict, it was a court dispute, and it would not harm their interests in any way; but this time it was different, Dong Zhuo was in power and ruled Luoyang, and Han Xiandi could only obey Dong Zhuo's words, which would damage to their interests.

If we don't do anything now, it's just that the foundation is not stable. With Cao Cao and Yuan Shao taking the lead, we can take advantage of Dong Zhuo's unstable foundation and get rid of Dong Zhuo.

Of course, there are still people who sincerely protect the Lord.

When Liu Qi was in Cao Cao's camp, he saw many princes arriving one after another, a total of eighteen princes.

In the first town, Yuan Shu, the later general Nanyang prefect; in the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou; in the third town, Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou; in the fourth town, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou; in the fifth town, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County; in the sixth town , Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao; seventh town, Dongjun Qiao Mao; eighth town, Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi; ninth town, Jinbei Prime Minister Bao Xin; tenth town, Beihai prefect Kong Rong; No.11 town, Zhang Chao, Grand Administrator of Guangling; No.12 Town, Tao Qian, Inspector of Xuzhou; No.13 Town, Ma Teng, Prefect of Xiliang; No.14 Town, Gongsun Zan, Prefect of Beiping; No.15 Town, Zhang Yang, Prefect of Shangdang; No.16 Town, Wucheng Marquis Changsha Prefect Sun Jian; No.17 Town, Qi Township Marquis Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao; No.18 Town, wanted criminal Cao Cao.

There are [-] soldiers, [-] to [-] soldiers, and even thousands of soldiers and horses. They each lead civilians and generals to join the alliance.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao went out to meet the princes who arrived from all directions, and let them set up camps nearby. It stretched for more than two hundred miles, with banners and flags unfurled, crowds of people, and all kinds of armor, mixed together, like a group of miscellaneous troops.

At the same time, people slaughtered cattle and horses, set up a banquet, held a meeting of princes, and discussed the strategy of advancing troops.

When the princes are busy.
Liu Qi did not go forward to disturb them, but took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Xiao Wu to watch from a distance, and four guards stayed in the camp, but did not bring them out.

"Your lord is really good at predicting things. Now except for Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, no one has come, people from other prefectures and counties have come!" Guo Jia sighed.

Liu Qi shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's not that I'm so good at predicting things. Many of them came here for profit, and they have the names of Ben Chu and Meng De, so they can gather with the princes from all walks of life. , if someone else had issued such a call, such a grand scene would not have appeared!"

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement. It all depends on background and reputation. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's background and Cao Cao's reputation, then there really wouldn't be so many people responding, and maybe none of them.

"As for Yizhou and Jingzhou, don't forget that Dong Zhuo in Luoyang is the one who is going to be attacked now. For example, my father is a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty. It is already considered good if we don't send people to stop it, and it is even more impossible. Lead troops to help in the battle; as for Jiaozhou, it is better to say, the place is far and remote, and the imperial court has not appointed Jiaozhou governor for many years!" Liu Qi said lightly.

When Huang Zhong heard Liu Qi talking about Jiaozhou, he just glanced at Liu Qi and didn't speak.

Guo Jia also understood what Liu Qi meant, and at the same time, he also understood why no one from the clan of the Han Dynasty came here to lead troops. Even if Liu Qi was there, he was only standing here as a watcher, not as an aid to the battle.

However, he didn't know that among the princes, there was really a member of the clan of the Han family who came to help in the battle as a prince's subordinate.

Soon, the banquet was ready, and Liu Qi and others were invited, but the seats were at the back, and no one noticed. This is what Liu Qi explained to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao to arrange the seats.

Eighteen princes gathered together.

There was also a lot of discussion during the banquet. After all, apart from the leaders of the [-]th Route, there were also their capable subordinates.

Holding the wine glass, Liu Qi took a sip of the wine, his eyes kept scanning the people at the banquet, and during the introductions of the princes, he also recognized which prince was that road, and the names of some others.

When he glanced at Gongsun Zan, his eyes stopped and looked at the people behind Gongsun Zan.

One person is seven feet five inches in length, with ears hanging down to the shoulders, hands over knees, eyes that can look after their own ears, a face like a crown of jade, and lips like grease; The body is nine feet long, the beard is two feet long, the face is like a jujube, with red phoenix eyes, and lying silkworm eyebrows. His appearance is dignified and majestic.

Seeing the appearance of the three, Liu Qi's eyes flashed a gleam. He could guess that they were Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu without anyone's introduction, but he didn't stay on them for long, but glanced at the person behind Gongsun Zan. The rest seemed to be looking for something.

I didn't see the person I wanted to see, so I somehow heaved a sigh of relief, and silently began to care about it.

Looking around, he also saw all the people in the banquet. Needless to say, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were already familiar with each other before, and their current subordinates can also know each other.

As for the other princes, apart from Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian, and Ma Teng, who are worthy of attention, the rest are not of interest.

The banquet has also gradually entered the high dynasty. After all, they are all princes with great power in their hands. It is necessary to brag to each other, otherwise they will not be able to sit in their current position.

about the time.
One stood up and said: "Now that we are pursuing righteousness, we will gather together, but we can't rush into the army. We must first appoint a leader and obey the leader's restraint, and then we can march!"

For a while, everyone in the banquet also fell silent.

Everyone saw that it was Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, but he did not refute Wang Kuang's words. After all, they are gathered together now. If there is no leader, they will fight their own way without any restraint. Luoyang has marched, and it is impossible to defeat Dong Zhuo in a mess.

But everyone didn't open their mouths, and their hearts were agitated, after all, they were the leaders of the Eighteenth Route Princes.
