Li Ru stepped forward, bowed his hands to Dong Zhuo, who was in the upper position, and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry. In my opinion, the so-called coalition of princes are just clowns. Most of them are covetous of the prime minister's current status and want to replace him." That's all." Dong Zhuo heard this and hurriedly continued to ask: "Does the wise son-in-law have any good strategies to resist the enemy?" Li Ru gently raised his hand, stroked his goatee, smiled and said, "The prime minister only needs to send troops. A general guarding Hulao Pass can keep out the so-called coalition of princes. As long as Hulao is not lost, Luoyang will have no worries. " "Good, great, a good son-in-law is worthy of his true nature as a military advisor!" Dong Zhuo finished listening. Then he clapped his hands and laughed. After Dong Zhuo finished laughing, he straightened his increasingly fat body and asked the generals below: "Who is willing to guard the pass?" Lu Bu has been trusted by Dong Zhuo since he defected to Dong Zhuo, and now he has become Dong Zhuo's subordinate. The first man saw his adoptive father asking, and Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, the princes of Guandong are regarded as nothing by my subordinates. I am willing to take all the tiger and wolf troops under my tent, behead them, and hang them on the east gate!" " Dong Zhuo didn't agree with Lu Bu's request when he saw it. He thought to himself, if you go to Hulao Pass, who will protect me here? Dong Zhuo had no intention of agreeing at all and was thinking of how to refuse him. At this time, Hua Xiong also stood up and said: "Prime Minister, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? Why does Marquis Wen need to take action for a trivial matter? I beheaded all the princes, just like searching for something." To say that this Hua Xiong is not only brave, but also quite smart. When he stood up so boldly to argue with Lu Bu, not only did he not offend him, but he first flattered Lu Bu and then asked Dong Zhuo for help. Originally, Lu Bu was about to get angry when he saw someone dared to compete with him, but before he could raise his eyebrows, he heard a comfortable flattery. At that moment, he was in a comfortable mood and no longer cared about Hua Xiong. When Dong Zhuo heard that this was exactly what he wanted, how could he refuse to agree? He hurriedly said: "Well, General Hua is brave, so you will lead the army to fight. When you triumph, you will be rewarded." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Hua Xiong hurriedly knelt down and knelt down. On the ground, he bowed to Dong Zhuo, and then responded vigorously and vigorously: "No!" Dong Zhuo saw what was going on here, waved his hands repeatedly, dismissed everyone, and then hurriedly ran back to the bed to continue studying with the concubines in the palace. My own little lion snail. But it was said that after Liu Bei sent the message, he ordered Le Jin to gather troops and prepare to send troops. Now Liu Bei's own army has 20,000 people, but Liu Bei does not intend to take them all. After all, due to the influence of history, Liu Bei does not dare to trust those so-called princes, and is worried that if he brings too many troops, he will increase his losses. . After more than five years of training, these soldiers are as good as wolves and tigers. The loss of any one of them would be enough for Liu Bei to feel distressed, so Liu Bei only brought Dian Wei's armored army, Zhang He's three thousand cavalry and Le Jin's tent commander. of ten thousand infantry. However, Liu Bei still made a loss-making deal. In this coalition, Jizhou was responsible for most of the food and grass for the coalition, which made Liu Bei very distressed. This is all due to reputation. Now everyone knows that this alliance was initiated by Liu Bei, so as the initiator, he must bear most of the food and grass, otherwise who would come. Fortunately, Jizhou has had good harvests these past few years, and there was no place to put the accumulated grain and grass. Liu Bei was relieved. After all, what he gained was his reputation. In order to deal with the fierce general Lu Bu, Liu Bei summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong back, leaving their lieutenants to guard the borders of Jizhou. From Chen to stay behind, they made arrangements in the middle to defend Jizhou. However, Xun Yu, Ju Sue, Tian Feng and others still stayed in Jizhou and were responsible for supervising the supply of grain and grass. In fact, Liu Bei was playing a trick. These three people were not only talented in internal affairs but also highly strategic. However, Liu Bei did not intend to use them at this time, but kept them as trump cards for the future. There is no need to bother the generals. Everyone now knows that the generals under his command are brave, so Liu Bei no longer needs to hide them. In the first month of the first year of Chuping, Liu Bei led the civil and military forces under his tent and marched toward Luoyang in a mighty manner, escorting millions of tons of military rations along with him. The army marched forward in a hurry and did not stop until Jujube. The princes from all walks of life also arrived, including the later general Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, Han Fu, the shepherd of Bingzhou (Dong Zhuofeng), Kong Miao, the governor of Yuzhou (Dong Zhuofeng), and Liu, the governor of Yanzhou. Dai (of Dong Zhuofeng), Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Changsha Prefect Sun Jian, Xiaoqi Colonel Cao Cao. No matter how many times Liu Bei counted, he couldn't count the number of eighteen, and he was only thirteen, and it was Sun Jian who had taken Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao under his command. Count Cao Cao. What surprised Liu Bei the most was seeing Yuan Shao under Yuan Yi¡¯s tent. He never expected that this boy would become such a bear because of his arrival.?, he actually wanted to live with his brother. Liu Bei would secretly be happy when he thought about it. The next step was for the princes to conduct an alliance ceremony. Soldiers carried the white horse and other livestock, and everyone beheaded the white horse, drank blood wine, and made an oath. Only then was the alliance completed. When Liu Bei saw the beheaded white horse, he suddenly remembered that the famous Gongsun Baima didn't come, which made Liu Bei think that he shouldn't, he shouldn't. It got even more exciting later on. The princes began to discuss the candidate for the leader of the alliance. One by one, the public said that the public was justified and the women said that the mother-in-law was justified. Liu Bei kept watching the quarrels with cold eyes without saying a word. Originally, Liu Bei thought that the choice of the alliance leader would fall on him without any suspense, but at present, it seems that there is no chance, because no one mentioned his name at all. "Grandma is really a bitch. You grandsons eat my food and drink my food. Now you just don't recommend yourself. Instead, you hug Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's thighs. It's really unbearable." After Liu Bei thought about it, he felt a little unhappy and couldn't help but get up and walk out. However, Cao Cao, who was sitting at the end of the seat, saw Liu Bei and hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where are Liu Jizhou going?" When Liu Bei heard this, he looked back and saw that it was the short and frustrated Cao Cao. He smiled and said, "I can't hold it in any longer." , I have to go to the toilet!" Liu Bei said deliberately vulgarly, deliberately disgusting them in his heart. Everyone looked at Liu Bei speechlessly, speechless for a long time. At this time, Sun Jian, who had been friends with Liu Bei, suggested: "We have a person who is indispensable for the alliance. He not only initiated the alliance, but also provided food and fodder for our army. Sun Jian is not talented, so he proposed that Liu Jizhou be our leader this time." "Although Liu Bei hopes that everyone will elect him to be the leader of the alliance, he really has no intention of actually becoming the leader of the alliance. He just hopes to enjoy the feeling of being elected by everyone. Now that he has been arguing, Liu Bei will be beaten to death. If you don't do it, the words to him would be: "It's too damn cheap."
