Chapter 320: The Final Battle (Part 1)

Who doesn't want to sit in this position of leader?

First, Chong'er respected the king and expelled the barbarians, and then there was Duke Huan of Qi and the nine alliance princes who expelled the Rong and Di.

Now that the Han Dynasty is in shambles, and the world is in chaos, once you become the leader of the princes and alliance, you will gain unimaginable prestige, and the power under your command will skyrocket.

Therefore, Cao Cao, who broke away from Yuan Shao's party, had a lot of ideas about the position of leader.

First of all, his own official position is not low, more than two thousand stones. Secondly, the family is not bad. His father Cao Song served as Taiwei the year before last, ranking among the three princes. Finally, all the brothers in the clan are here, and they can be the main force to fight against Dong.

The most important thing is that Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian voluntarily withdraws from the competition at the moment, Cao Cao is secretly happy, and is going to have a cheeky self-recommendation.

At this moment, Chen Yuan, Prime Minister of Langya who retreated to the back, took the initiative to speak: "Meng Degong's famous family can be the leader of the alliance."

On the side, Cheng Yingchuan and Cheng Dongyang showed regretful expressions. Isn't it because they came to the alliance this time to hug their thighs and enhance their sense of presence?

In the end, Xiang Langya took the lead!

However, before Cao Cao could respond, Beihai prefect Kong Rong took the lead in retorting: "How can the position of leader be handed over to the descendants of eunuchs?"

Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, was the adopted son of the great eunuch Cao Teng. Although he had a good reputation, he was not a nobleman. Kong Rong, who was in charge of the ceremony, was very repulsed by this.

The same is true for Han Fu.

As for Liu Dai, who didn't intend to be the leader of the alliance, he suddenly felt that he could do it. Isn't he just better than his family? You know, he is a direct descendant of the great ancestor Liu Bang, so he can definitely fight for it!

"Old man, what are you talking about?"

Hearing that someone poked at his brother's sore spot, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan made a move to climb to the high platform, but fortunately Zhao Yun and Zhang Yang stopped them in time, otherwise the alliance would turn into a joke.

For some reason, Lu Li thought of Yuan Shao. Leaving aside this guy's indecisive character, the successor of the Yuan family in Runan, with this name alone, could shut up the eighteen princes and allow the alliance ceremony to proceed safely.

It's a pity that Yuan and Dong Zhuo became hard-core allies due to fate.

"If you spend any more time, the rebels will break through."

"I have a word, please listen quietly."

At this time, Xun Yu, who had been silent for a long time, came over, first bowed to Kong Rong as a disciple, and then bowed his hands to Tao Qian, Cao Cao and others.

Yingchuan Xunshi.

Everyone knew his identity, so they temporarily stopped the dispute. Cao Cao, who had a gloomy face, smiled and nodded at Xun Yu, because he had heard Pan Ming say how extraordinary this man was.

"The original governor of Bingzhou, Ding Yuan, was ordered by the Queen Mother to lead an army to King Qin, and he is on his way at the moment."

Xun Yu undoubtedly wanted to elect Ding Yuan as the leader of the alliance, and this completely satisfied Lu Li, Zhang Yang, and Zhao Yun's wishes.

The original governor of Bingzhou?

Liu Dai noticed the key point, frowned slightly, and guessed the reason in his heart: In order to win over Ding Jianyang, the queen mother will definitely increase his rank and rank.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, Zhi Jinwu, with a rank of two thousand stones, although he is not a public official, has the same rank and salary as him. In addition, Ding Yuan has many soldiers and generals, so he can sit firmly as the leader of the alliance.

Following Xun Yu's narration, Han Fu and Tao Qian stretched their brows, obviously agreeing to let Ding Yuan, who has not arrived yet, be the leader of the alliance.

Several eyes turned to the great Confucian Kong Rong. If he has no objection, the matter can be settled.

"Can."

As far as Kong Rong was concerned, he didn't have much thought about being the leader of the alliance. Anyway, as long as the descendants of eunuchs were not allowed to be the leader of the alliance.

"I have heard about Duke Ding's name for a long time, and it is a great fortune for the country to make him the leader of the alliance." Cao Cao said generously.

A snake can't do without a head.

After some tossing and turning, we finally got to the point. In addition, because Ding Gong has not yet arrived at Hangu Pass, and the situation is urgent, Lu Li, the son-in-law, will act as the leader of the alliance.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li is also qualified to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance. The captain of the eight gates, with a rank of two thousand stones, is comparable to the prefect of a county.

During the whole process, Chen Guoxiang Zhao Bo behaved like an outsider, neither fighting nor grabbing, but he was quite restless in his heart:

If there is a choice, I also want to eat soft food. It would be great if Wang Chen had a daughter. It doesn't matter if she is ugly, the main thing is power!

At the same time, Pan Ming raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Li who was standing on the third-floor platform. He had a strange look on his face. He was the only one in the trio who didn't have a family when he came to the end of Han Dynasty.

The flags of the five directions, the white banners and the yellow axe, and the military talismans of the princes from all walks of life were all displayed in front of him. Lu Li straightened his armor, burned incense and bowed down, and recited the covenant written by Kong Rong:

Unfortunately for the Han Dynasty, the emperor's principles were lost, and the traitors Dong Zhuo and Yuan Kai took advantage of provocations to harm the emperor and poisoned the common people. Great fear of losing the country. Jian cover the world.

Zhijin Wuyuan, Jizhou Inspector Shifu, Yanzhou Inspector Shi Dai, Xuzhou Inspector Shiqian, Beiping Prefect Zan, Changsha Prefect Jian, Hangu Duweili, etc., gathered volunteers and went to the country.

All our alliances, working together, so that the festival of ministers, the death of the head and the death of the Yuan, will have no two ambitions. If there is an alliance with Yu, you will be killed, and there will be no inheritance. The queen of heaven and earth, the ancestors and spirits, all treasures can be learned from.

After reading the blood, everyone felt honored, especially Lu Li, who became the acting lord, the moment he stepped off the high platform, he felt something extra on his body, protecting him in the dark.

Unreal, yet reassuring and believable.

"Today, since the leader of the alliance is established, everyone will obey the orders and help the country together. Don't care about the strength or weakness."

After saying that, Sun Jian pressed his knife and looked around, as if he wanted to support Lu Li, who was still inexperienced.

I have to say that before getting the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, Sun Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, expressed his sincerity to the Han family, and Lu Li spoke a lot harder. After all, the state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. , then why fight?

"promise!"

No matter what you think in your heart, the princes from all walks of life put on a posture of obeying orders anyway.

the other side.

The oath ceremony has also been completed.

There were no twists and turns along the way. In terms of official positions and military strength, there was only one candidate for the leader of the alliance.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo stood alone on the high platform, with boundless arrogance surging in his heart, the great general He Jin was not so majestic before his death, right?

Eight princes!

Everyone is strong and strong, plus the 20,000 Xiliang old tribes who have already crossed the river, if there is no decisive battle, when will it be?

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo pulled out the saber at his waist, and said impassionedly: "The Han Dynasty has been in a coma until now, and it is urgent for heroes to come out and turn the tide!"

"Zhuo Yijie, a martial artist, is loved by all of you, and he occupies the position of the leader of the alliance. He should devote himself to the death with the ambition of clarifying the world!"

"The ten permanent attendants murdered the late emperor, slandered and killed the great general, and bound the prince. These three crimes, the bamboo of the Nanshan Mountain, are not exhausted; the crimes of breaking the waves of the East China Sea are endless!"

"We will immediately send troops to Luoyang, on the side of the Qing emperor!"

In fact, it is also a skill to be able to turn black into white, and to speak of the wolf's ambition so righteously, and these words were endorsed by the scholar leader and Tai Fu Yuan Kai, and they turned from false to true in an instant.

"Wish to be the leader of the alliance."

"Wish to be the leader of the alliance."

Kong Ni, Wang Kuang and others bowed down one after another.

For a time, the momentum was greatly boosted.

Then, under the leadership of Dong Zhuo, the princes from all walks of life began to discuss how to break through Hangu Pass. In fact, in their opinion, this march would surely succeed.

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, proposed to divide the troops into two groups, with one as the main force, attacking Hangu Pass from the front to attract attention, and then crossing the river in disorder to rush to Xiaopingjin Pass, which is close to Mang Mountain. Once it is breached, they can drive straight in. Arrived in Luoyang smoothly.

Frankly speaking, if this proposal can be carried out smoothly, it will be extremely easy to enter Luoyang.

After all, Hangu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the defenders have many generals, so they are not ordinary people. Instead of fighting here, it is better to divide the troops to attack other passes. Those places are empty and there are no strong generals to sit in, so it is easy to pass. Can conquer.

Unfortunately, this proposal was quickly rejected.

There are still capable people and strangers who are good at looking forward to in Dong Ying, let alone the opposite? Little tricks don't work at all.

Therefore, Duke proposed to directly invite the battle, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, no need for any cover-up, winners and losers, everything speaks by strength.

Two strategies.

The former is difficult to achieve, but the latter is aboveboard.

The Eighth Route princes present here are not superfluous people, and they all brought elite troops to come here, so they are naturally 100% confident, and immediately agreed to Duke's proposal.

Simple, straightforward and efficient.

"In that case, who should we send to fight in Guanxia?" Jinbei Minister Bao Xin wanted to win the first prize, and immediately went out to fight: "My brother Bao Zhong has the courage of ten thousand men, and he can behead the general and cut down the flag for the lord. "

After the words fell, a young general with a steel gun in one hand stepped out, his face was quite similar to Bao Xin, he must be a brother.

Duke frowned slightly, and his face, which had been restored to normal due to the gathering of allies and the blazing military power, collapsed again, as if he had eaten a fly, and thought: Unlucky, why did I meet this guy.

In the original book, Bao Zhong led an army of 3,000 horsemen to fight Hua Xiong, and was beheaded as soon as he met him. There was no room for resistance——

The hand raised the knife and fell, and the head fell to the ground.

Thinking of this, Duke glanced at Hua Xiong who was standing beside him. At this moment, Hua Xiong was also looking at Bao Zhong, as if he was looking at a clown.

"The Marquis already knows the heart of Ji Bei's boxing." Dong Zhuo smiled, and then changed the subject: "But this is our first battle, so there is no room for loss. Let's choose someone else."

In fact, Dong Zhuo could tell at a glance how fine Bao Zhong was, he was afraid that he was not as good as Hu Zhen who died in the battle last night, going to fight was no different from sending him to death.

The younger brother of Prime Minister Jinbei?

If you die, you are dead, and there is nothing to say about being killed if you are inferior to others, but the blow to morale is irreparable. You know, he has lost two games in a row last night.

At this time, Hua Xiong stepped forward with his head held high, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the last general invites you to fight!"

As one of the most famous generals in the Xiliang Army, Hua Xiong knew very well that this battle was of great importance, and there must be no mistakes, but he had the confidence to say: Use me in the first battle, use me to win!

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo felt relieved, fearing that other princes would be as ignorant as Bao Xin, so he immediately said: "Yes!"

"Hua Xiong is my fierce general in Xiliang. He has personally experienced more than a hundred battles. He must win every battle and win every attack. Sending him out in the first battle will surely make great achievements."

There is no denying in the words.

However, Dong Zhuo finally added a sentence: "Do you have any objections?"

The covenant has been established, no matter how small the allies are, they cannot be ignored, and even in a sense, everyone is equal.

When Bao Zhong saw someone coming out to snatch the first prize, he couldn't help but feel confused, so he glanced at Hua Xiong...

Eyes meet.

Bao Zhong gave up in an instant, and hurriedly buried his head. Hua Xiong is nine feet tall and has a burly build.

Not only Bao Zhong, but the princes in the account admired him one after another.

Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, is more than eight feet tall, and the world praises him for his outstanding majesty, but compared with Hua Xiong, he sighs: "I have heard for a long time that the generals under the command of the princes are like clouds, but now I see that what I said is true. General Hua Xiong has a dignified appearance. , must be a mighty general who will rule the world."

Dong Zhuo said proudly, "Can you be a pioneer?"

"Can!"

Hua Xiong looked around, and wherever he looked, the princes from all walks of life bowed their hands.

"Zijian, this battle can only be won and not lost."

Having said that, Dong Zhuo personally poured a glass of wine, and brought it to Hua Xiong, "I'm ashamed of myself, Hou Yi."

"promise!"

Hua Xiong didn't shirk it, he drank the hot wine in one gulp, went out of the tent and picked up the knife, the flying horse rushed out of the shaft gate.

Not long after, Yiqi appeared at Hangu Pass, without a single soldier behind him. There is no need to question the intention of coming, it is a challenge!

Tiger body wolf waist, leopard head ape arms.

Who could it be if it wasn't Hua Xiong?

Right now, this Kansai fierce general held a big sword, without saying anything, just stood up the sword like this, and put his face up in a posture of "contemptuously".

Lu Li said: This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant person, even more arrogant than the flying general Lu Bu.

"Who wants to fight?"

The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall. As the leader of the alliance, Lu Li can no longer fight rashly like last night.

Of course, today is different.

Last night only Zhao Yun and Zhang Yang were in charge of Hangu Pass, but now there are many stars in the pass.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Li finished speaking, Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, said, "I have general Pan Feng, who can kill the enemy general!"

"Ahem..."

Pan Ming covered his mouth and coughed lightly, fearing that Lu Li might not know something, he quickly hinted.

There is a stalk in later generations: General Pan Feng, General Xing Daorong of Lingling, and Titan Liu Sandao are collectively known as the number one warrior of the Three Kingdoms. It is said that Pan Feng, Xing Daorong, and Liu Sandao can win the world if they win one. It's a pity that the sky is jealous of talents. When Pan Feng was duel with Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong, he accidentally missed and was cut off by Hua Xiong.

On the side, Cao Cao frowned slightly, thinking that his confidant would be unwell, but the current situation was not easy to ask, so he could only give up temporarily.

And Chen Guoxiang, Ying Chuancheng and others also had weird faces, some were secretly laughing, and some looked like they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

The battle between Pan Feng and Hua Xiong is a famous scene of the Three Kingdoms, which should not be missed.

Subconsciously, everyone turned their attention to Lu Li, waiting for the acting leader to make a decision.

In fact, Lu Li really wanted to reject Han Fu's invitation, and there was no room for loss in the first battle after forming an alliance.

However, Han Fu's attitude was firm, he lowered his posture, and looked at Lu Li with his hands folded, which was really embarrassing.

Because of his non-competitive attitude when electing the leader not long ago, this made Lu Li owe a favor:

Han Fu, a disciple of the Yuan family, turned his back on the dark and turned to the bright. He resolutely wrote to Guguan to form an alliance to support the righteousness, and he did not fight for the position of the leader of the alliance, and cooperated wholeheartedly.

However, at this moment, Pan Feng, who was kneeling by the table, stood up straight. He was nine feet tall and even more burly than Hua Xiong. !"

He was wearing a golden helmet, shining brightly in the sun, and the two mountain-breaking axes on his back each weighed a thousand catties. Just looking at his appearance, he was truly worthy of the name of a famous general in Hebei.

Marquis of Wucheng Sun Jian and White Horse General Gongsun Zan all nodded secretly, thinking that Pan Feng could be used.

Brother... do you want to give away the head?

Lu Li was speechless for a while, and reminded: "Do you know that this battle is unusual, and it affects the morale of the two armies?"

"If you can't win, please behead someone's head."

Pan Feng bowed his head again, his tone was firm.

"good!"

Seeing that all the princes on his side had high hopes for Pan Feng, Lu Li personally poured a glass of wine to see him off: "The Hebei general is vigorous and vigorous. It is a blessing for the Han family to have the general's support."

"Wish to behead the general for the lord and win the first victory!"

Seeing that Lu Li treated him so kindly, Pan Feng was moved. He drank the hot wine in his cup, threw it on the ground, and walked towards Guanxia without looking back.

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. Looking at the generous back of his family Pan Feng, Pan Ming has mixed feelings in his heart.

Calvin, just figured out the ending, and will write a 6k chapter tomorrow.
