Chapter 1220 Discussion Alliance
"Mr. Xuande, the Shang army is powerful, and Shang Ji has a cruel and surly personality. He regards the Han court as nothing, and his self-reliance is obvious. If things go on like this, I fear that the four hundred years of Yan Han will disappear in smoke. Xuande Gong As a clan member of the Han family, and also deeply favored by the late emperor, who was promoted from the bottom of the ranks, he has the current momentum. If he just sits and watches the merchants seek to usurp the throne, how will he see the late emperor and ancestors in a hundred years? "
In Xuzhou City, in the city lord's mansion, the judge was agitated and shouted, pointing at Liu Bei's nose.
Zhang Fei, Zang Ba and other generals next to him looked unkind, staring at the judge with murderous intent, but Zhuge Liang stopped him with his eyes.
Liu Bei's face was ashamed, he wanted to speak but stopped, he stopped to speak and wanted again, and finally heaved a long sigh, covering his face with his sleeves.
Seeing this, Zhuge Liang got up immediately, cupped his hands and said to the examiner: "Brother Zhengnan, the lord is not in good health today, and it is not suitable for discussing important military affairs. Why don't we discuss it another day?"
The judge also knew that he should not be forced too far, so he bowed his hands and said, "Pei is reckless, please forgive me if I offend you. But I still want to say that no matter what Xuande chooses, my lord has decided to Xing Yishi to seek violent businessmen. The trouble of merchants and thieves is close at hand, don't forget the cold lips and teeth, Duke Xuande!"
After finishing speaking, Shenpei bowed again and said, "Pei will leave for the time being, Mr. Xuande take care of himself."
After the trial match left, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled: "Brother, this guy is rude, let me tear him up!"
As he spoke, he called out the Zhangba Snake Spear, and wanted to chase the judge and go out.
"Yidexiu is being rude."
Zhuge Liang let out a soft drink, stopped Zhang Fei, and cupped his hands to Liu Bei, saying, "My lord, although the words of the judge are quite disrespectful, there are three points of truth. Since Shang Ji dared to call Zhenbei Lord, his heart of disobedience is already clear. , and its power is great, even Dong Zhuo was not as good as it was back then, if you continue to indulge, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
"Yuan Shao's words are nice. Isn't it because he is afraid that Shang Ji will annex Jizhou and win us over? Do you think we are all fools?"
Zang Ba next to him snorted coldly and said with some disdain.
"Although that is the case, but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and Yuan Shao is defeated. Isn't it us next?"
As soon as Jian Yong said this, the hall was suddenly quiet.
That's right, everyone can understand Yuan Shao's situation, it's just that he couldn't hold on under the pressure of Shang Ji, and planned to fight for his life, and because he had no chance of winning, he tried his best to win over other princes to go with him.
Anyone can see this.
Can it be seen that it is useful? This is Yuan Shao's conspiracy. Anyway, if I don't fight hard, I will die, so why should I worry about it? If these princes are willing to be annexed by Shang Ji, then there is nothing to say, but if they are not, then they have to work hard with Yuan Shao!
No one believes that after the annexation of Jizhou, Shangji will stop expanding. This is because Shangji personally held a big horn and ran to the princes one by one. This propaganda is useless.
After struggling for a while, Liu Bei coughed lightly, stood up and said, "Be prepared to receive the great kindness of the late emperor, and at this time of national crisis, I dare not lag behind others. Pass down the order, the whole army prepares for war, and swear to discuss with teachers in five days!"
"The final general obeys the order!"
After Liu Bei made his final decision, the generals immediately stopped their quarrel and said in unison.
Liu Bei was just one of the princes who were lobbied. In fact, Yuan Shao sent envoys to all the princes based on the principle of comprehensively casting nets and focusing on fishing. Even Zhang Yan, who had been in a state of hostility, did not let go.
Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Diao Chan and other northern princes were the key targets of his lobbying.
The battle in Chenzhou allowed the princes to appreciate the combat effectiveness of the Shang Ji army, and at the same time greatly increased the crisis awareness of the princes. Everyone suddenly found that Shang Ji was no longer in the same rank as them, and even Dong Zhuo, who was once in full swing, could not match him.
Fortunately for everyone, Shang Ji was too greedy and rashly went to the Wa Kingdom without unifying the Huaxia District. Most of the main force was restrained and the rear was empty, which gave the princes the courage to give it a go.
if not,
It is difficult for the princes to say whether they have the courage to face the more than fifty elite fighting legions in their prime!
As Yuan Shao's lobbying team arrived at the base camps of the princes, the anti-Shangji alliance gradually took shape, and this alliance included almost all the princes, including Diaochan and Lu Bu who had a good relationship with the Shangji forces before.
The core member of the alliance is of course Yuan Shao, followed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Diao Chan. Although Lu Bu is reluctant, but after being a prince for such a long time, he is no longer the fool he used to be. Under the collective persuasion of his subordinates, he After hesitating for a while, he joined the Anti-Business Alliance and became an important core member of it.
Due to geographical constraints, although Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Sun Ce and others joined, they had no way to directly participate in the battle.
The only prince who chose to be neutral was Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie, who had an extremely thin sense of existence.
Shi Xie has already seen it through now. No matter how the war situation in the Central Plains changes, it is impossible for him to take control of the Central Plains. Since it is better to be a salted fish honestly, after the birth of the real dragon emperor, he will offer soil from the land of Jiaozhou to fight for a long history of wealth. No problem at all!
By the way, by the way, Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Yao, who also has a thin sense of existence, has already left the stage. He died of illness last year, and the only land left after Liu Yao's death was immediately annexed by Sun Ce, completely withdrawing from the stage of history.
And Liu Xun, the remnant of Yuan Shu, was also defeated by Sun Ce, and went north to defect to Cao Cao alone. At present, the whole territory of Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, and the historical Eastern Wu has initially taken shape.
Although the number of the anti-business alliance this time is far from that of the original alliance against Dong, the gold content of today's princes is much stronger than it was then. Now the feudal lords are also the shepherds of a state at the last time, but at that time they were mostly prefects, which were not at the same level at all.
The plan of the anti-commercial coalition forces is very simple. Liu Bei goes north to Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu attack Youzhou.
Since it is an alliance, the coalition forces also have inherent problems, such as poor coordination, mutual distrust, and troubles among friendly forces. In addition, although Cao Cao sent troops, he had to guard against Diao Chan's repetitions, so a considerable part of his troops stayed in Luoyang, and his strength against Shang Ji was only one-third of his total strength.
But Diaochan has the danger of Hangu Pass, so the defensive pressure is relatively small, but she has to be careful of the Qiang people, and she is farther away, so there are not many troops that can really be dispatched.
In fact, the princes were not happy with Diao Chan sending too many troops. Who didn't know that Diao Chan and Shang Ji had evacuated Luoyang City before? There are even a lot of romantic rumors between the two of them.
Although many of them are rumors deliberately spread by the princes in order to discredit Shang Ji and Diao Chan, the rumors spread and even the makers of the rumors couldn't help but start to be skeptical.
In addition, Cai Yong, the father of Cai Yan, the number two figure in Diao Chan's army, is still staying in Xiangping, and Diao Chan's former confidant, Mrs. Fan, has also become the wife of Shang Ji's general Zhao Yun. If you say that Diao Chan will wholeheartedly follow the alliance and Shang Ji Knocking to the end, many princes murmured in their hearts.
If it wasn't for the fear that refusing to accept Diao Chan would cause Diao Chan to completely fall to Shang Ji's side, Yuan Shao and others wouldn't even want her to join.
