Chapter 5: The Anti-Dong Alliance Begins

Just as Sun Jian and others were quelling the rebellion in Xiliang, Changsha District Xing claimed to be a general and led more than 10,000 troops to rebel. Zhou Dynasty in Lingling and Guo Shi in Guiyang revolted one after another, fighting with District

The stars echoed each other, and under the guise of an order, Sun Jian was appointed governor of Changsha. Sun Jian then crossed the border to conquer three places. Within a few months, all three places were pacified. In recognition of his merits, the Han court named him Marquis of Wucheng.

Between them, there is no difference in the limelight,

And in 189, the time came to change the general trend of the world. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died of illness. General He Jin conspired with Yuan Shao to lure Dong Zhuo into Luoyang in order to compete with Shi Changshi for power. As a result, He Jin and Shi Changshi died together, but Dong Zhuo did not.

Became the biggest winner. In September, Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor Liu Bian as King of Hongnong, and established the nine-year-old King Chenliu Liu Xie as emperor, that is, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo took sole charge of the government and occupied the harem. Everyone in Luoyang City was in danger, so Cao Cao and the king

Yun conspired to kill the second thief. Cao Cao was holding a seven-star sword and wanted to attack Dong Zhuo while he was sleeping, but Dong Zhuo was awakened. Cao Cao even knelt down on one knee to make a treasure offering gesture and escaped the disaster. Dong Zhuo was reminded by people around him

Later, I realized that Cao Cao was trying to assassinate him, so he sent troops to pursue him. However, Cao Cao had already escaped from the city and had no choice but to give up. In December, Cao Cao faked an edict from the emperor, calling on all the princes to raise troops to attack Dong. In January of the following year, Cao Cao launched a massive attack on Dong.

The meeting of the eighteen princes began, and at this moment the world began to undergo tremendous changes.

Sun Jian, who was in Changsha, was of course also invited, and on the eve of departure, Wen Du, Sun Jian, Sun Ce and the four veterans were planning the future direction.

"What do you think of this expedition?"

Sun Jian asked a question first, and then Sun Ce answered directly, "Of course it is to show the strength of the Sun family! Don't you think so, Brother Seti?"

Following Sun Ce's question, everyone turned their attention to Wen Du. Feeling the looks in their eyes, Wen Du wiped his nose in embarrassment...

"Ahem, in that case, let me say a few words. Of course we have to show our strength, but we also have to make plans for the future. Do you think any of the princes from this alliance will sincerely go?

From King Qin?”

Zu Mao, who was next to him, was the first to retort, "What do you mean by this? Isn't that our lord?"

"But here's the problem? The eighteen princes and we alone

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If you go sincerely, what's the use? In my opinion, the other princes basically want to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, and then go back. After all, do they have the emperor in their hearts now?

Not necessarily."

No one refuted this statement, because they all knew in their hearts how bad the Han court was now. Indeed, many people had such thoughts...

"Are you trying to say that we should also gain some benefits from this alliance?"

Cheng Pu was also a sensible person and he immediately guessed what Wen Du meant.

"That's right!" Wen Du nodded affirmatively.

Everyone thought for a moment, and then Sun Jian asked the key question, "What should we do?"

Wen Duze smiled, this was the question he wanted to answer the most.

"How many troops do we have now?"

"Including the Liangzhou soldiers who were just recruited, there are now a total of 30,000 people." Sun Ce answered with great confidence. Wen Du also nodded when he heard this, and continued, "This time we will divide our troops into two groups. General Sun will lead 10,000 people."

, together with the two generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and I went to join the alliance, the remaining 15,000 people were left, 5,000 people were left by General Han Dang to guard Changsha, and 10,000 people were led by Generals Bo Fu and Zu Mao.

Yuzhang County in Yangzhou began to occupy the land east of the Yangtze River, and they will occupy as much as they can in the limited time!"

"I have a question? Why choose the land of Jiangdong? If you want to make progress, the land of Jingzhou is the key to the world?" After hearing Wendu's plan, Huang Gai asked why he went south, and Wendu

Crossing nature relies on the history of later generations, and there are sufficient reasons

"First of all, just because it goes directly to the main road of the world, we can't take it now. If the world is in chaos, the Central Plains will immediately be at the center of the storm. Why? Let's see." Wen Du then brought everyone's attention to it.

On the map, he continued, "Let's look at Yuan Shao in the north. He has four generations and three nobles. He has many soldiers and generals. Who in the world can compare with him? Let's look at his brother Yuan Shu. Although his land is not as good as Yuan Shao's, after all, he is also a member of the Yuan family. Even if it is not good, it is not the same."

No matter where they go, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou are both royal people. There will only be more and more people who defect to them just for the royal title. Moreover, they occupy good places and have a wide range of people.

many

, even if they are just two mediocre people, they are still much better than us."

Having said this, Wen Du also stood upright and spoke to everyone again, "These are all enemies on the surface, and there are two people I care about very much."

"Who is?"

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei!"

Wen Du revealed the founder of the future strength of Wei and Shu, but no one knows about it now.

After hearing what Wen Du said, everyone else was confused. Bo Fu was the most direct and immediately asked, "We know what Cao Cao said. His strength is about the same as ours. Who is this Liu Bei?"

"Cao Cao's current strength is average, but don't forget that he single-handedly assassinated Dong before, which has already won him a reputation in the world. Moreover, Cao Cao is also a man of vision. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters.

For a hero with ideas and reputation, I believe many people will choose to help him. As for Liu Bei, he is indeed a little-known person now, and the only two people willing to follow him are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

But this man has one advantage: he is willing to do justice for the people of the world, and this advantage is more powerful than thousands of troops!"

"As the saying goes, the world is dominated by those who win the hearts and minds of the people. If Liu Bei is really such a righteous man, he may be our great enemy from now on."

"General Cheng is right. Therefore, this time when we meet for alliance, let's first make friends with the two of them, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng and others. The others are just embroidered pillows. If we can make friends with each other, then we can make friends with them. No.

Never mind"

After explaining many questions, Wen Du looked at everyone and asked, "Everyone, do you have any more questions?"

"I have!"

Wen Du looked at Zu Mao and motioned for him to continue.

"If the battle is on flat ground, I have no problem, but if it is an siege, 10,000 people are too few."

Wen Du nodded, and then said irresponsibly, "Then you can think of a solution on your own, my mind is also very average."

………………

Everyone was silent after hearing this. They were probably all complaining about Wen Du's free speech in their hearts...
