Chapter 11 The First Gathering of the Confederate Army

More than a dozen other seats are full of civilian generals from other states and counties. For example, Liu Bei is also in the seat. Behind him stood Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, two super generals. After Liu Bei led his subordinates to leave Qingzhou, he met Zhang Fei, who was the king of Zhanshan, on the border of Gongzhou. Not long after the gathering of Liu Guan and Zhang's three brothers, they obtained the order issued by the king of Qin in Youzhou from other channels. Liu Bei, who was dedicated to defending Liu's country, led the army to Hongnong County. Due to the innate strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Yuan Shao also treated them differently and gave Liu Bei a place at the gathering place of Qunying, although this position was close to the door and slightly shabby.

In addition, there is Ma Teng, the governor of Fufeng County, Liangzhou, kneeling on his knees and sitting on the top of Liu Bei. Ma Teng is handsome, with thick eyebrows and concave eyes, turquoise pupils, and a standard Uighur handsome man. Ma Teng is the most handsome man here.

Ma Teng was the descendant of Ma Fu, General Fu of Fubo in the early Han Dynasty. After experiencing Wang Mang's usurpation of power and reform, because the Ma family stood in the wrong team at that time and did not follow Wang Mang to rebel, the former illustrious glory became the reason for the crime in troubled times. From then on, the Ma family went to decline. Until Ma Teng's father fell into the tragic situation of not being able to marry a wife, Ma Teng's father went to the border gate to become a soldier and married a local Uyghur woman, so that Ma Teng's appearance had an exotic demeanor.

Lv Bu, the world's most fierce general, did not arrive. Lv Bu led the iron cavalry back to the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, blocking the retreat of Li Wei and Guo Wei's thieves. Due to his previous hostile position, Lv Bu could not meet the heroes present, so he did not come to the first party of the allied forces.

Gongsun Zan met Yuan Shao. After a greeting from both sides, Gongsun Zan held a fist and saluted the people present, and then sat down with Yuan Shu. Zhao Yun stood behind Gongsun Zan like a javelin.

Although King Qin's rebellious order is to tell the world in the name of Gongsun Zan, the leader of the Allies is Yuan Shao. After all, he is fighting against the enemy in Yizhou. After all, Yuan Shao has 300,000 troops and is the first warlord in the world today. In this way, only Yuan Shao should be the leader of the alliance.

Yuan Shao is only 40 years old. Compared with Cao Cao, his handsome appearance is far less than Cao Cao. Compared with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao's power is insufficient, full of wealth and nobleness. Compared with Liu Bei, Liu Bei is several grades worse in appearance and temperament. Compared with Yuan Shu, although the two are half-brothers, their appearance is almost the same. Yuan Shu looks Exaggerated, Yuan Shao looked steady.

Under the attention of everyone, Yi Governor Shi Jushu came out of the back hall, walked to the main seat, and handed a piece of silk paper to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao roughly browsed the content on the silk paper, and then glanced around the crowd. Then, he said in a dignified and gentle voice, "Gentlemen, as the leader of the alliance, I thank you for your long journey to Hongnong County..."

After a grand opening remarks, Yuan Shao said with a slightly gentle face: "Guys, according to my close attention to Li Yu and Guo Yu's side in recent years, at this time, there are hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers stationed in Chang'an City. Li Yu and Guo Yu's side is full of defense materials. In addition, Chang'an City is also an ancient city wall, which is the most towering in the world today. Strong wall, in this way, even if our alliance has a large number of troops and the same enemy, it may not be able to defeat the traitor Li Wei and Guo Yan and capture the city in a few months...

In order to concentrate limited resources and promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, I have temporarily formulated a siege plan for your reference: This time, the alliance army fought against the rebels and attacked the city. The main attack direction is Beicheng and Dongcheng. The main attack troops are allocated as follows: 50,000 allies in Youzhou and I attacked Chang'an City. In Beichengmen, General Yuan Shu of Zhendong and 40,000 allied forces in Gunzhou are responsible for attacking the Dongchengmen; Ma Teng Taishou of Fufeng County led his troops to besiege the West Gate. As for the Nancheng Gate, it is handed over to Wenhou Lu Fengxian to besiege... Liu Bei in Xuzhou is responsible for escorting grain and fodder! What do you think of such a distribution?

Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao and others nodded one after another and agreed to Yuan Shao's arrangement. Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao also looked at each other. They nodded slightly. They knew that some things were unspeakable and knew that it was impossible for Yuan Shao to arrange Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan together. What if the two of them took the opportunity to make trouble? The allied army is not the allied army, but Yuan Shao who led the wolf into the house.

Most people agree with Yuan Shao's deployment arrangement, but Liu Bei is dissatisfied. After listening to Yuan Shao's strategic deployment speech, Liu Bei's long face pulled longer. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who stood behind him, instantly felt Liu Bei's negative emotions. Guan Yu bit his lips and lowered his eyes, and the beard on his chest floated without wind; while Zhang Fei, who was beside him, suddenly blushed with a handsome face. He opened his mouth and shouted to Yuan Shao. He said, "Yuan Allies, we don't agree with your deployment arrangement to escort food and fodder? Lord Yuan, can't your soldiers take responsibility? It's not that I'm bragging. There are few generals who can beat me in the field and get rid of my second brother Guan Yu! With our combat strength, why can't we face the enemy directly?"

Zhang Fei's words were very angry and dissatisfied.

After listening carefully to Zhang Fei's question, Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Fei with an angry face and smiled and said gently, "Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, a reckless man from Hebei? I haven't seen you for a few years. You have also entered the innate realm. Congratulations..."

Zhang Fei didn't buy it at all, but still looked at Yuan Shao angrily, while his eldest brother Liu Bei bowed to Yuan Shaoyao. Yuan Shao ignored Zhang Fei's anger and said to Liu Bei, "Liu Taishou, as we all know, at this time, there is no second super general except that Xu Huang, a general under the command of Xingyi General Yang Feng, is a fierce general in the innate realm. And the super masters of our alliance army are as many as two digits. From this, it can be inferred that the battle between the alliance army and the Xiliang Legion can only be a form of siege and defense, not a face-to-face battle between the two sides... Liu Taishou, I don't need to say more, I guess you also know the importance of sufficient grain for combat soldiers. I hope you will try your best to do a good job in the transportation of food and fodder!"

"Yes, just from the order of Lord Yuan Meng!" Although Liu Bei was reluctant, what Yuan Shao said was the head again. He had no way to refute it and had to accept it against his will.

Zhang Fei also wanted to rebute, but was stopped by Guan Yu with sharp eyes. Zhang Fei scolded a few words, and his anger dissipated a little. Only after entering the innate realm, Zhang Fei's mood also grew. This is also the sequela of improving martial arts through special means. This kind of anger. Even Zhang Fei, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can't control it.

After Yuan Shao finished arranging the tasks of all parties, he nodded to signal Chang Shi Ju to start the second procedure of the meeting. After Ju Shu saluted Yuan Shao, he pointed to the map hanging in the middle hall with a thin stick in his hand and began to explain to his allies the city defense of Chang'an City and the distribution of troops.

"Guys, although Chang'an City has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs and hundreds of battles since the Qin Dynasty, its city defense can be said to be solid... Although the traitor Li Wei and Guo Yan have city defense as a support, we have nearly 400,000 brave soldiers, as long as I With a good plan, Fang will be able to successfully capture the ancient city of Chang'an and eliminate the traitors and the party! Although Ju Shu is a scribe, he is born with a loud voice. His thick voice echoes in everyone's ears, making people look at the huge map.

"Guys, please look here." Ju Shu paused for a moment, then circled the map with a thin stick and continued to say loudly, "In the land of Qinchuan, the general city is either surrounded by mountains or water, and the 30 kilometers around Chang'an City is flat flat land. In this way, the defense range of the general city can only It can reach seven or eight kilometers, and the effective defense of Chang'an City can reach 15 kilometers. In other words, the insidious and cunning Li Wei and Guo Yan will definitely plan ahead and build a series of fortifications in the effective defense range. In this way, the position spreads from 15 kilometers outside the city and is divided from the outside to the inside into a well-structured barren circle, a warning circle and a city defense circle.

According to the recent investigation of our scouts, the side of Chang'an City did not carefully arrange the barren circle and guard circle, but only transported a large number of logs and stones to the city... From this, it can be inferred that the rebel Li Wei and Guo Yan also knew the movement of the allied forces. Due to the strength of the allied forces, the strength of the two sides is too different, and they have released Abandon the defense circle outside the city and go all out to strengthen the city defense: logs can make rolling wood, and stones can make gravel... Ladies and gentlemen, the future siege is destined to be a fierce battle. Therefore, we, who have the advantage, can't underestimate the enemy!"

Everyone listened carefully to Ju Shudu's explanation carefully. Looking at the schematic diagram of Chang'an in the map, they already had a deep feeling after hundreds of battles: they seemed to be on the battlefield, with a shocking roar in their ears, and their eyes were the banners covering the sky, bright knives and guns, and towering walls...

Next, Yuan Shao asked other allies to put forward their opinions and actual needs. As long as the requirements are reasonable, Yuan Shao, who is rich, will meet them. The others did not make a request. Only Cao Cao, the herdsman of Gozhou, asked Yuan Shao to provide 40 catties of stone, preferably round, the more the better.

Yuan Shao and others were curious, but in the face of Cao Cao's calm smile and avoiding talking, Yuan Shao did not continue to ask and agreed to Cao Cao's request.

Finally, Yuan Shao announced the end of the meeting. Everyone left one after another. This time, Yuan Shao did not entertain everyone. Of course, it was not Yuan Shao's stingy, but Yuan Shao's promise that the future celebration banquet will be held in the palace of Chang'an City!

The overlords walked out of the mansion under the protection of their own bodyguards. Of course, the venerable comes first, and Cao Cao walks in front of the "one"-shaped team. Gongsun Zong's side is behind him.

When Cao Cao and his party walked out of the door of the mansion, Gongsun Zan, who was behind him, heard a beautiful girl from the martial arts competition stage at the door of the mansion: "Hey, are you free at this time? Two masters will compete with me in martial arts... Yo, are you masters all paper tigers? They are all so cowardly..."

When Dian Wei and Cao Ren heard Cao Cao's words, they remained calm and continued to move forward at the same pace as Cao Cao. Gongsun Zan pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't hear it. Zhao Yun behind him paid full attention to Gongsun Zan and didn't care about anything else.
