Chapter 136
Inside the big tent, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the faces of the various princes with different expressions. They stood up one after another, like a forest of pines and cypresses, bowed to Liu Yao and Yuan Shao, and said in unison:
"We are here to see the leader! From today on, we will follow you until death, and only follow your lead!"
Liu Yao sat upright in the main seat, his eyes deep, penetrating the noisy praises and hitting the sea of people's hearts.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that among the seemingly united 18 princes, there were actually undercurrents and each of them had their own plans.
People like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were respectful on the surface, but in fact they had their own little tricks and could not be counted on.
The only ones who could be counted on were Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan, Sun Jian and others.
Liu Yao stood upright like a pine tree, with the cold light of the long sword in his hand flashing. Suddenly, a strong murderous aura surged out of his body, sweeping towards everyone present like a tide, making the air solidify.
"Heroes, thank you for your kindness and for recommending me as the leader of this alliance. Here, I, Liu Ziyi, have a few words to say to you. "
"I know that there are many heroes who are ambitious and want to achieve great things, and there are also many people who are willing to join in the great cause and share the glory. Although I am not talented, I am willing to lead everyone to this troubled times with my passion, to work together for great things, and to share the benefits."
Here, he paused, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "However, Liu must make it clear that our Bingzhou Army has been known for its strict military discipline and strict enforcement since ancient times."
"On the battlefield, we are brothers who depend on each other for life and death; in the alliance, we need to work together to overcome difficulties. If someone has different ideas, pretends to obey, and does not obey the command and dispatch of me and General Benchu, then Liu Although I can't bear it, I have to follow the military law and expel them from the coalition immediately to avoid ruining our good situation! "
"If one day, I find out that some people have evil intentions and secretly collude with foreign enemies to try to harm us. "
"Humph, I, Liu Yao, am not talented. At the beginning, the 60,000 cavalry under my command could wipe out the 100,000 Xianbei soldiers! In my eyes, they are just candles in the wind, which can be extinguished overnight! "
"I solemnly warn those hidden rats to quickly restrain your treacherous hearts and don't let the fire of greed burn you. Otherwise, where my cavalry steps, it will be a desolate place where your souls will be scattered and even a tombstone cannot be found! "
Everyone present looked at each other, thinking secretly in their hearts, and then nodded in response, expressing their willingness to obey the order and work together.
"In that case, Cao Cao, listen to my orders! I order you to be fully responsible for the supply and distribution of food and grass. If you don't obey, you will be expelled from the coalition!"
"Brother Benchu, you will be responsible for controlling the central army and stabilizing the rear!"
"And Brother Bogui, Brother Wentai, and I will work together as the vanguard."
Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian came up one after another.
"I will obey your orders!"
After receiving the orders, Cao Cao could not help but sigh:
"Hahaha! Everyone knows that General Liu is so powerful. He is not only brave and invincible, but also has excellent archery skills. Now that you are personally the vanguard, Dong Zhuo is not to be feared!"
Yuan Shao also said with a forced smile: "Yes, everyone knows that General Sun is known as the tiger of Jiangdong, Gongsun Zan is known as the white horse general, and Liu Yao is the contemporary champion marquis."
"With these three people, even if Dong Zhuo has three heads and six arms, he is not your opponent!"
"Don't worry, Ziyi! We will lead the army and follow up to support you. Don't worry about what happens next!"
"Haha, with Benchu's words, I feel much more at ease. Everyone, go back and prepare quickly!"
Liu Yao smiled slightly and led his generals out of the tent.
...
At the same time, on the other side, outside Luoyang City, in the camp of the Xiliang Army
Dong Zhuo was discussing things with his generals. Since he learned about the alliance of the princes in Guandong, he had already run out of his magnificent and beautiful mansion, and lived and ate with the soldiers.
Although he was cruel by nature, he still had blood and was still the Dong Zhuo who swept across Xiliang.
"How many people have gathered in the Guandong coalition?"
Dong Zhuo sat in the main seat and looked at everyone with a gloomy face.
"Now there are a total of 18 princes. They gathered in Chenliu and elected Liu Yao as the leader and Yuan Shao as the deputy leader. The number of troops is probably no less than 300,000."
Li Ru introduced the strength and names of these princes one by one.
"Although the coalition is large in number, they have their own ulterior motives, and some of the troops are new recruits. They are definitely not the opponents of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."
"Please rest assured, Grand Master."
Dong Zhuo nodded.
"Yuan Shao is nothing more than a playboy, indecisive and incapable of accomplishing anything great."
"Kong Rong, Tao Qian"These people are just useless scholars. They are good at governing counties, but they are completely laymen in marching and fighting. "
"It's Cao Mengde. I almost died at his hands. And that Liu Yao! This time, our biggest opponent! It's him!"
Suddenly, a scout rushed into the tent like a gust of wind. The sound of armor colliding and rapid breathing intertwined into a tense atmosphere.
"Urgent report--! ! The heroes of Guandong have sworn to rise up. The iron cavalry torrent is mighty and endless, stretching for dozens of miles, heading straight for Luoyang!"
"Which lords are the vanguard?"
The scout knelt on one knee. Although his voice was a little breathless due to the galloping, he was extremely firm: "Report to the Grand Master, the vanguard troops are not trivial. They are the White Horse General Gongsun Zan, the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian, and... the recently famous Liu Yao. The three are shoulder to shoulder and lead the vanguard! "
"Oh? Liu Yao is also among them?!" Dong Zhuo's voice suddenly rose, and in addition to shock, he was also filled with a bit of unbelievable anger, as if this news was like a thunderclap, exploding in his heart, shaking him uneasy.
The atmosphere in the Xiliang Army tent instantly dropped to freezing point, and many Xiliang generals were a little uneasy.
At the beginning, when Liu Yao first showed his edge, an arrow flew out of the sky, like the anger of the gods, not only piercing the enemy formation, but also deeply shaking the souls of everyone present. That scene still lingers in the hearts of the Xiliang generals like a nightmare, and has become They both admired and yearned for the legend after dinner.
Even Lu Bu, who was standing by, frowned.
Liu Yao had a great impact on him at the beginning. In the end, it was Lu Fengxian who lost the battle.
Dong Zhuo sat in the main seat with a gloomy face.
He loved and hated Liu Yao. It would be great if he could use him.
"There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses at Sishui Pass now. Although there are strong passes and natural dangers there, it is still a bit too difficult to deal with Liu Yao."
"Who is willing to lead the troops there?"
All the Xiliang generals present subconsciously retreated.
