Three Kingdoms: I am the Holy Son of the Yellow Turbans, my father is a wise and good teacher

Just as the Ming Dynasty's several armies were marching to the garrison, the various princes in the Central Plains could no longer sit still and emerged one after another.

"My lord, according to the news just received, we have compiled a list of the princes!" Guo Jia handed a memorial to Gao Lishi after he finished speaking.

Gao Lishi immediately handed it to Zhang Fu after receiving it. Zhang Fu opened it and found that it was a little different from what he thought, but the names were still the same.

First of all, there are the princes in Yanzhou: the strongest one is Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, followed by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and finally Cao Cao, the captain of Xiaoqi, who is recruiting troops in Chenliu County.

The vassal forces in Yuzhou: Yuan Shao, with the help of the Yuan family of Runan, has already mastered the entire Yuzhou, which is also the territory chosen by Yuan Shao himself, while Yuan Shu chose to go to the rich Yangzhou.

The vassal forces in Yangzhou: Liu Chong, the governor of Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu of the Yuan family of Runan, who occupied the six counties of Yangzhou including Huainan. Of course, this is also because of the help of the Yuan family of Runan. 70% of the officials in these six counties are from the Yuan family of Runan or the disciples of Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei.

Finally, there is the young master Sun Ce supported by Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.

The vassal forces in Xuzhou: Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, and Liu Bei, who is temporarily living in Xiaopei.

The vassal forces in Liangzhou: Ma Teng, the prefect of Fufeng County (Han Sui is not considered a vassal because he defected to Dong Zhuo.)

The vassal forces in Yizhou: Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong.

The vassal forces in Jiaozhou: Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou.

The princes of Jingzhou: Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou.

There is also Wang Kuang, the governor of Henei County.

The number of soldiers under their command ranges from thousands to tens of thousands, but no prince has a force with more than 100,000 soldiers under its command.

......

"If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about!" Zhang Fu said with a smile. They might have some strength when combined, but if they are led out separately, they can be easily destroyed.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is another interesting thing. This Xiaoqi Captain Cao Cao issued a manifesto to attack Dong Zhuo, inviting all the princes in the world to fight against Dong Zhuo together, and this manifesto was sent to our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Fu was a little surprised when he heard this. He knew that Cao Cao had issued a manifesto, but it was indeed very interesting to invite himself to participate.

"Don't worry about it, just act according to the original plan!" Zhang Fu felt that it was indeed a bit cheap to participate in the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo with his identity.

Moreover, there was a plan originally, which was waiting for them to start the crusade against Dong Zhuo, so that the plan that had been set long ago could be activated.

"Yes, my king!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, this plan was still very big.

Once the plan succeeds, the entire Central Plains will be in the bag. Unless some people are lucky enough to escape, they will inevitably die in the plan.

"But we still have to pay close attention. Now it is these princes who have emerged, but there may be some hidden ones, such as the governors of various places. Few of these people are good guys!"

Zhang Fu is very clear that among the group of people who are now serving as governors of a county in the chaotic world, there are definitely many ambitious ones, so it is not certain what kind of people will emerge.

Let alone Zang Ba of Mount Tai, Yan Baihu of Yangzhou and others are all ambitious governors of a county. In Zhang Fu's view, these people can also be called princes, although they are all thieves.

But in this era, as long as you have soldiers, you are a prince warlord.

"I understand!" Guo Jia naturally understood. There are too many people in this world, and there are all kinds of people.

Before he took control of the Bad People, he really didn't know that there were so many princes in the world, but now he knows everything clearly.

......

Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

"My lord, we have recruited 10,000 people now. With the current money and food, it is already the limit. If there are more, I am afraid we can't afford it!"

The person who spoke was Xun You, who came to Cao Cao and was the only counselor around Cao Cao. The other one was Xun You's uncle Xun Yan.

It's just that Xun You is Cao Cao's chief military advisor, while Xun Yan is responsible for handling government affairs and is a civil official.

So the real counselor is only Xun You, so Cao Cao still trusts Xun You very much.

Cao Cao nodded slightly: "Alas, now we have no money and no food, and these ten thousand people are not enough!"

He knew very well that it would be difficult to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo had strong soldiers and horses, his adopted son Lu Bu alone was not easy to deal with.

Now sinceAlthough he had 10,000 soldiers, this amount of troops was far from enough to face such a powerful enemy.

Cao Cao could not help but feel worried and helpless, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"My Lord, we are not afraid of that thief Dong!" Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Cao Chun said in unison.

They all looked firm, with fearless light flashing in their eyes, and expressed their willingness to follow Cao Cao and fight Dong Zhuo to the end.

However, Cao Cao knew in his heart that courage and determination alone were far from enough, and to defeat Dong Zhuo, sufficient strength and resources must be available.

Cao Cao did not speak, but nodded silently. He knew in his heart that these generals were all loyal and brave, but in the face of the powerful Dong Zhuo, courage alone could not win.

At this moment, Cao Cao fell into deep thought, thinking about how to solve the current dilemma and find more support and strength to fight against Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Xun You, who was sitting next to Cao Cao, suddenly said, "My Lord, it may be difficult for us to accomplish anything with our own strength, but if we issue a letter to attack Dong and call on heroes from all over the world to fight against Dong, we will surely succeed!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought it was feasible.

After all, many provincial governors, governors, and prefects in various places are loyal to the Han Dynasty. If they can be called on to rise up together, Dong will inevitably be doomed.

So he said excitedly, "Haha, not bad, not bad, this strategy is feasible, and I will leave this letter to you, the military advisor, to write!" Cao Cao was overjoyed at this time.

Although he didn't know whether others would respond to the call, he firmly believed that his good friends Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would definitely lead their troops to help.

Now, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, with the help of the Yuan family's power, have occupied the six counties of Yuzhou and Yangzhou respectively, and have many soldiers and horses under their command.

"Yes, my lord!" After receiving the order, Xun You immediately discussed with his uncle Xun Yan how to write this proclamation to attack Dong.

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin and others could no longer hold back and were ready to show their skills.

In one night, Xun You and Xun Yan finished writing the proclamation to attack Dong.

Cao Cao opened it and read it. Cao Cao felt that it was really well written. Cao Cao was so excited that he wanted to kill the thief Dong right now!

"Cao and others hereby announce to the world: Dong Zhuo deceived the heaven and earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; he violated the palace and killed people; he was cruel and merciless, and full of crimes! Now, in accordance with the secret decree of the emperor, we gather a large number of righteous soldiers and vow to wipe out China and kill all the evildoers. We hope that the righteous army will be raised to vent the public anger; support the royal family and save the people. When the manifesto arrives, please carry it out as soon as possible!"

After reading it, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Send someone to copy this manifesto to fight against Dong, and then send it to the prefects and governors of various places. In addition, I will personally copy two copies and send them to Benchu ​​and Gonglu respectively!"

Cao Cao still trusts his two friends very much. They are friends who robbed the bride together when they were young.

"Yes, lord!" Xun You immediately accepted the order.

Cao Cao pondered for a while and said, "There is another person who must also send a copy. Send this copy. Send it to Ming Wang Zhang Fu with a trusted confidant!"

Cao Cao knew very well that among the heroes in the world, there was still one who could compete with Dong the thief. That person was Ming Wang Zhang Fu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Fu's current identity is different. He is no longer a simple rebel, but a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who received the order of the late Emperor Liu Hong. Even if he is now called the king, it was forced by Dong the thief.

So Cao Cao still believed that Zhang Fu might lead the troops here, and once Zhang Fu participated, Dong the thief would definitely be destroyed.

"My lord, this may be a little impossible. Ming Wang may not get involved. After all, most of the people invited by the lord are from aristocratic families!" Xun You reminded him.

Xun You didn't believe those rumors from the bottom of his heart, but Xun You knew very well that his lord Cao Cao believed them, so it was useless to say more, and he could only remind him.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Alas, I have never thought of this, but I still have to send one. No matter what the king chooses, it is fine."

Cao Cao felt that he had to give it a try. If he could come, it would be a good thing. If he could not come, it would not matter. The impact would not be great.

Xun You also received the order: "Yes, my lord!"

Finally, this first anti-Dongguan edict was sent to Beiping Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.

......

A few days later, Zhang Fu learned that ten princes, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Wang Kuang, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Yuan Yi, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, and Qiao Mao, responded to Cao Cao's call.

Then there was Zang Ba, the governor of Taishan County, and Liu Chong, the governor of Yangzhou, who also participated in the alliance army. Together with Cao Cao's words, there were a total of thirteen princes.

In additionThere is another group of princes who are ready to make a move, that is Ma Teng who is far away in Liangzhou. There is basically no route to Suanzao for the alliance.

Moreover, there is also the pressure from Han Sui, the governor of Liangzhou, which makes Ma Teng have no choice but to use Liangzhou as a breakthrough point to respond to Cao Cao's call to fight Dong Zhuo.

"After they start the war, we can take action. Send someone to notify Pengju to keep an eye on Liangzhou. After Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou start the war, we will immediately send troops to capture the three auxiliary lands and completely cut off Dong Zhuo's retreat!"

"Also send someone to notify Tiande, and then directly send troops to cut off the retreat of the alliance army. I want to lock them in Sili for a melee, and notify Youan to be ready to send troops to support Tiande at any time!"

Zhang Fu knew very well that these thirteen alliance armies could gather more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, so relying on Xu Da's 60,000 troops alone might be insufficient.

Therefore, with the 60,000 Flying Tiger Army under Xin Qiji, it would be enough to completely trap them.

As for the Beisai Army under Yiji Wende and the Taiping Army stationed in Beiping Prefecture, they must not be moved easily. After all, the foreign tribes in the grassland are also ready to move, and they must be guarded against.

"Yes, my king!" Guo Jia responded.

Liu Bowen stood up and said, "My king, Governor Yue has only 60,000 troops under his command. Even if there are fierce generals such as Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing, Yue Yun, etc., there is still a gap in the number of troops."

"Once we encounter the siege of Han Sui and Dong Zhuo, the situation will be a little bad, so I suggest that we also send troops to Jizhou and support Governor Yue at any time!"

"I second the proposal!" Yao Guangxiao, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other important officials echoed in unison.

Obviously, they all felt that 60,000 people seemed a little too few to face the hundreds of thousands of troops under Liangzhou and Dong Zhuo.

Even if the princes formed an alliance, they would definitely be in their own camps and it would be impossible to unite, so they were not worried about the situation on Xu Da's side.

But Yue Fei is different. He may run into Dong Zhuo directly, so there is definitely a gap.

After all, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Feixiong Army under Dong Zhuo are both elite troops, plus hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops. Although hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops are distributed all over the place, it seems that they are not strong, but if they are combined together, their strength will be very terrifying.

Zhang Fu nodded: "In this case, I will go there in person. Beiping Prefecture will be handed over to you. Wen Ruo and Shanchang will be responsible for the supply of food and grass!"

"Yes, King!" Xun Yu and Li Shanchang said in unison.
