"You don't know how to live or die, let's see how I take your head."

The first time he went into battle, he was looked down upon by Zhang Yue, a nobody. Zhao Yun was furious and planned to step forward and kill Zhang Yue.

"General Zhao Yun, wait a minute." Hua Rong clapped his horse forward and stopped the opponent's actions: "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. This little Zhang Yue can be done with just one feather arrow."

After finishing speaking, Hua Rong took out the iron slingshot from the horseback, set the bow, aimed, and shot the arrow, all in one go.

In just one breath, an arrow shot out, heading straight for Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue, who was riding back, didn't notice anything at all. He was still imagining that by relying on Shangdang's strong city wall to keep the enemy out of the city wall and defeat Ying Xi, Zhang Yue could become famous all over the world.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Zhang Yue, who was full of joy, only felt pain in his abdomen. When he lowered his head, he saw an arrow flying out of his abdomen at some unknown time.

With a look of fear and confusion on his face, Zhang Yue fell to the ground with a plop and died inexplicably.

"Zhang Yue is dead, the whole army attacks and wipes out the enemy."

Almost at the moment Zhang Yue was killed, Zhao Yun issued the order for a general attack, charged with his gun, and rushed into the Shangdang army formation.

The three thousand Bingzhou light cavalry behind them were still early in their formation, but their opponents were even more unbearable.

The Shangdang County soldiers, who originally had little combat effectiveness, were left without a leader when their commander Zhang Yue was assassinated. Their morale dropped and they were quickly penetrated by Zhao Yun.

"This group of people is awesome, we are no match at all."

"Surrender, I am willing to surrender."

"Spare your life, spare me, I don't dare to fight, I want to go home."

The Shangdang soldiers had no fighting spirit at all. In order to survive, they knelt down one by one, kowtowed and prayed for surrender.

Zhao Yun gathered his soldiers and quickly marched the army into Shangdang. Then he ordered the light cavalry to go to Shangdang counties, swearing the order of victory, and captured Shangdang counties almost without bloodshed.

Ying Xi led the main army and had just left Jinyang City when Zhao Yun's military report was delivered.

As expected, the entire territory of Shangdang has been recovered.

Jujube, coalition camp.

After Cao Cao issued a message of crusade against Dong Zhuo, he quickly led his army, stationed in Jujube, built fortifications, and built an allied camp to resist the attack of Dong Zhuo's army and welcome the arrival of the princes from all walks of life.

At that time, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, each led more than 10,000 troops to help, plus the troops recruited by Cao Cao.

With the 30,000 coalition troops in hand, Cao Cao found a sense of security and waited for the arrival of the other princes.

"Brother Meng De can take the lead in raising the banner of crusade against Dong Zhuo and dare to be the first in the world. I, Sun Jian, have no obligation to refuse and lead the children of Jiangdong to come to join the alliance and fight against the Dong thief together."

Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, responded positively after receiving Cao Cao's appeal against thieves. He led 10,000 Jiangdong disciples and traveled through the starry night to finally arrive at Suanzao.

"Brother Wentai has been traveling all the way. Thank you for your hard work, my dear. Cao Cao is here to prepare a little wine to help Brother Wentai and the Jiangdong disciples cleanse themselves from the dust."

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao took Sun Jian's hand and entered the camp.

"Thank you, Brother Mengde."

Sun Jian also smiled and entered with Cao Cao.

After receiving Cao Cao's message, Sun Jian went straight to Jujube without stopping, only worried that he would be late and miss this rare golden age.

But I never expected that after I came to Suanzao, except for people like Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, I didn't see the shadow of any other princes.

"Brother Meng De, how are the jujubes now? What's the reaction from Dong Zhuo, the old thief?"

After exchanging a few words with Cao Cao, Sun Jian asked about the topic he was most concerned about.

Cao Cao briefly described the current situation.

Dong Zhuo had already taken precautions against the princes of Guandong. When he saw Cao Cao issuing a message to attack him, Yuan Shao and others responded, and he also made certain arrangements.

Dong Zhuo, with Dong Min as the chief general and Wang Fang and Yang Ding as deputy generals, led an army of 30,000 to attack Suanzao.

Cao Cao had been prepared for a long time. He joined forces with Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao to ambush the Xiliang army in Suanzao City, catching Dong Min by surprise.

Dong Min, who couldn't get any advantage, was worried that reinforcements from other princes would arrive one after another, and he would be attacked from both sides, so he had to retreat his army to Sishui Pass to confront Cao Cao's coalition forces at a distance.

Although Cao Cao won the first battle, not only was he not happy at all, but he looked sad.

Although Yuan Shao and others responded positively, half a month has passed and no reinforcements have arrived.

The coalition forces between himself and Zhang Miao and others only have an army of 30,000 at full strength. They can barely deal with Dong Min's army. Once the Xiliang army continues to increase its troops, I am afraid that the entire Suanzao army will not be able to defend it.

By then, I am afraid that the newly established alliance will immediately fall apart.

"Brother Meng De, you don't have to worry too much. Our four-pronged coalition of princes already has 40,000 people. It's not a problem to hold the jujube and wait for the other princes' armies to join together." Sun Jian said, patting his chest.

The majestic Jiangdong Tiger is not the kind of person who is timid before fighting.

A few days later, good news finally came.

Yuan Shu, the later general and governor of Nanyang, personally led an army of 25,000 people and had successfully arrived at Suanzao.

Liu Dai, the herdsman of Yanzhou, led 15,000 troops and marched into Jujuba.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin led 10,000 soldiers and horses to join the alliance.

Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong Niao, the governor of Yuzhou, Wang Kuang, the governor of Hanoi County, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping, Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, and the governor of Xiliang Ma Teng,

(It feels like the entire land of Xiliang and Chang'an is under Dong Zhuo's control at this time, and Ma Teng can't come to Jujube at all. This is a distant echo.)

Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and a dozen other princes also led their armies within a few days, marched into Jujuba, and successfully formed an alliance.

Finally, Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Qixiang and the Governor of Bohai, led an army of 30,000 people and successfully joined forces with various princes.

As soon as Yuan Shao's army arrived, the eighteen princes successfully formed an alliance. The total strength of the alliance reached an unprecedented 300,000 troops, and 500,000 troops were announced to the outside world.

The eighteen princes gathered at the Jujube Alliance and everything went as Cao Cao expected. The situation was finally stabilized and he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"With all the leading troops coming to help this time, we will definitely be able to get rid of the national traitor Dong Zhuo and help the Han Dynasty."

Seeing that all the princes had basically gathered together, Cao Cao was very proud and high-spirited, dreaming about how the princes could destroy Dong Zhuo and revitalize the Han Dynasty.

After he finished speaking, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, stood up and said: "The eighteen princes will gather to form an alliance, and the eighteen armies must elect an alliance leader who will lead our many armies so that we can fight Dong Zhuo."

Hearing this, all the princes set their eyes on Yuan Yi and listened carefully to the other party's next words.

"Now among the various princes, I am afraid there is only one person who is qualified to serve as the leader of the alliance. That is Yuan Shao, the former general and governor of Bohai. I am willing to serve Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance." Yuan Yixin vowed and pushed Yuan Shao forward.

Han Fu, Kong Rong and others saw this and responded immediately.

Yuan Shaonai is the descendant of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the three princes. This time he leads an army of 30,000. He is the highest among the princes, with both fame and strength.

Han Fu, Kong Rong and others were interested in Yuan Shao and wanted to follow the current.

"snort!"

"If Yuan Shao is asked to serve as the leader of the alliance, I, Yuan Gongli, will be the first to refuse."

Seeing that Yuan Yi, Kong Rong and others actually ignored him, the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and recommended Yuan Shao, the concubine one by one, Yuan Shu couldn't sit still at all, and was the first to stand up and object.

"Yuan Gongli, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu did not deal with each other at first, but Yuan Shu objected in court, which made Yuan Shao furious.

In front of many princes, Yuan Shao still maintained a certain demeanor and asked patiently.

"It is already known to the whole world that you, Yuan Benchu, are not good at fighting."

"In the first battle in Nanpi, we lost everything but lost the chicken. We were beaten by Ying Xi and ran away. In the end, we had to choose to make peace."

"If you become the leader of the alliance and lead our coalition to lose consecutive battles, wouldn't you be beaten by the old thief Dong Zhuo?"

Yuan Shu didn't want to be used to Yuan Shao. He took over Yuan Shao's shortcomings and started a wave of verbal abuse.

"you……"

Yuan Shao was angry, but helpless.

Who told Yuan Shu to tell the truth? The Battle of Nanpi damaged Yuan Shao's reputation and turned him into a laughing stock.

"Since Yuan Shao is not qualified to be the leader of the alliance, who else should I, Yuan Shu, be the leader of the alliance?"

Yuan Shao was forced to say nothing, and Yuan Shu was proud of himself.

Among the current coalition forces, no one can compete with him, Yuan Shu, in terms of reputation, military strength, or influence.

The position of alliance leader is already a sure thing.

"Gao Dao's words are wrong. Ben Chu is a former general named by His Majesty. He is also the eldest son of Yuan and Gao Da's eldest brother. For this alliance, Ben Chu spared no effort and brought an army of 30,000 people. He is the leader of the alliance. , should be responsible from the beginning."

"The position of alliance leader has always been occupied by the virtuous. Yuan Benzhu is so virtuous and capable that he can steal the throne of alliance leader."

"How capable Yuan Jiuji is, and how qualified he is to sit on this throne."

The eighteen princes were immediately divided into two factions, supporting Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu respectively.

The two factions are fiercely fighting for the position of leader.

The whole scene was in chaos, and Cao Cao had a headache when he saw this.

Before he could get into a fight with Dong Zhuoqian, his own people were about to start a fight first.
