Suanzao County is under the jurisdiction of Chenliu County in Yanzhou and refers to Luoyang in the distance. Cao Cao, who was originally the prefect of Chenliu, naturally came to Suizao County long ago and was ready to receive the heroes who would arrive one after another.
As the nominal founder of the Alliance to Defeat Dong, Yuan Shao was naturally unwilling to lag behind others and led his army to this place early.
After that, various princes, including Li Xiang, also arrived one after another with their own troops, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of troops. In the end, a small jujube man actually gathered more than 400,000 troops.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao, the nominal founder of the Dong Alliance, and Cao Cao, who was the host, were well prepared and opened several large military camps near Suanzao County early, allowing the Allied soldiers who arrived one after another to settle down in time.
It didn't cause any big trouble.

In the 22nd Town, he was a capable minister in times of peace, a traitor in troubled times, and the prefect of Chenliu, Cao Cao, was named Mengde.
Due to the constant influence of the butterfly effect, in addition to Liu Bei, who has already begun to develop, among the eighteen princes in the novel, there are now three more, and it has become the twenty-two princes who want to challenge Dong. Liu Biao is added.
, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Xiang.
Because Li Xiang and his son occupied Bingzhou early, most of Yanzhou was controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, and six counties in Youzhou fell into the hands of Qin Zheng. Therefore, the territories of various princes in this life have simply undergone earth-shaking changes.
Variety.
In the original history, no one from Yangzhou came to join the protest against Dong, but now that Zhu Yuanzhang had appeared, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to gain fame.
Liu Biao originally had no intention of participating in this war. However, under Liu Yu's suggestion, Liu Biao finally sent a group of troops led by Liu Yu to participate in the discussion of Dong, while he himself continued to sit in charge.
In the land north of Jing, guard against the Xiang clan in the south.
Liu Biao was very confident about the talents of his younger brother Liu Yu. In the past few years, Liu Yu not only defeated Zhang Mancheng back to Yanzhou Yellow Turban's nest in the north, but also regained Nanyang. In the south, he also withstood Xiang Xiang again and again.
As a result, the land of Jingbei was safely in Liu Biao's hands.
However, this time, although there were nominally twenty-two princes coming to challenge Dong, there were actually quite a few gangsters among them.
Take Ma Teng, for example. He just put up a name and didn't send a single soldier at all. Moreover, even if he wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to get through based on his location.
Others, such as Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Tao Qian, and Zhu Yuanzhang, each brought only a few thousand, or at most a little over 10,000 troops. However, they had no choice but to face Guo Wei, Dou Jiande, and Qin.
With threats like Zheng Zheng, Chi You, and Hong Xiuquan on their side, they simply could not mobilize a large number of troops to come. Although it is important to fight against Dong, it is not as good as the stability of their hometown!
The remaining people brought more troops, and Li Xiang's 30,000 was just average. However, since these 30,000 were cavalry, Li Xiang's strength was still at the forefront among the various princes.
.Among the twenty-two princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, two powerful men, led the largest number of troops, each bringing as much as 70,000 troops.
These 70,000 to 80,000 troops were only brought out by them. In just one county, they were able to raise so many troops in just a few years. This shows the rich heritage of the family of the Four Generations and Three Dukes.
If during the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han Dynasty could gather so many troops, it would not have been beaten to the ground by the Yellow Turban Army in the early stage.
However, this can also be seen from the side. In the past few years, not only Li Xiang's own power has developed rapidly, but other princes have also developed to a certain extent. You must know that the only people gathered here are the princes from all walks of life.
The troops used to attack Dong did not include the troops they left behind to defend their homeland.
However, what Li Xiang didn't expect was that the expansion of the princes' military strength was also inseparable from him. The system's annual population summons suddenly enriched the population of this land in the late Han Dynasty.
The number of troops recruited will naturally increase.
Although the various princes cannot use summoning points to obtain the buff of double bonus for population summoning, over the past few years, the population of their autonomous regions has increased a lot.
Especially Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, Runan and Nanyang under their rule have large populations, ranking among the best among many counties in the entire Han Dynasty. Although the annual population summons does not affect them, the annual population growth rate is
It has produced real benefits for them.
Under the circumstances that the population growth rate forced by the system in various places is the same, the population base under their control is so much larger than others, and the benefits they will naturally receive will be greater.
After the various princes gathered together, they each roughly counted the number of the entire allied army, and found that a total of 410,000 troops had been gathered, which already exceeded Dong Zhuo's number of troops.
Dong Zhuo's ever-expanding Xiliang Army, the recovered Qiang Army, the annexed Northern Army and the Xiyuan Army, plus some other scattered ones, even if the number does not reach 400,000, it should be not far behind.
.
However, although Dong Zhuo had a large number of troops, it was impossible for him to mobilize all the troops. Apart from the basic troops guarding the states and counties, Dong Zhuo could mobilize no more than 300,000 troops at most to fight the coalition forces of the princes.
Therefore, only in terms of military strength, the coalition of princes still has an advantage.
