Outside Sizhou Hulao Pass
Allied garrison
"Report! Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army, has come with five thousand infantry to join the alliance!"
"Hahaha, brother Benchu, you're fine!"
Cao Cao walked in with a big smile.
When Yuan Shao saw the visitor, he greeted him with a smile: "Hey? Brother Mengde, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, so I've been looking forward to you.
I have heard about this assassination of Dong Zhuo for a long time. Haha, it is something you, Cao Cao, can do! "
"Brother Benchu was just joking. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo was so lucky that I couldn't get rid of him successfully. I'm very sorry..."
The two reunited after a long absence and had a very happy conversation.
"Report! Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang, has come with 20,000 infantry to join the alliance!"
"Report! Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, led 10,000 infantry to join the alliance!"
"Report! Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou..."
Small soldiers came to report one after another, and princes from all walks of life arrived one after another. The drums of the entire Allied garrison were deafening, and the flags of all the armies filled the camp, crisscrossing and shining under the scorching sun.
Compared with the various princes who came to join the alliance in large numbers, this group of people seemed so out of place.
Outside the Allied garrison
A group of only three people and three horses came to join the alliance, but were blocked by the gatekeeper.
The guard shouted and asked: "Stop, who are you?"
The leader of the three, a man with a height of seven feet and five inches, two ears hanging down from his shoulders, his hands above his knees and a face like a crown of jade, bent down and dismounted, cupped his hands and replied: "Liu Bei, I hope my little brother will go and report it, and then say yes." After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty Liu Sheng, led two brothers to attend the alliance."
The guard laughed loudly when he heard this: "You? Queen Jing? Am I the grandson of the Jade Emperor? What evidence do you have to prove it?"
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment. How can this be proven? Who goes out to bring the ancestral genealogy?
A tall and burly bearded man behind Liu Bei shouted and rushed forward: "Catch me! Why are you talking to my elder brother?"
Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei: "Third brother, don't be rude."
"Yo? What's wrong? Are you so angry that you want to take action?" The guard soldier continued to act meanly.
"Hey! I have such a bad temper!" Zhang Fei couldn't bear this anger, so he picked up the Zhangba Snake Spear and wanted to do it.
"Da da~ da da."
At this moment, a group of cavalrymen who came to join the alliance slowly appeared not far away. The leader was a man riding a white horse who was not angry and proud.
When the guard saw that there were five or six thousand cavalry in this group, he knew without thinking that the visitor was a high official. He immediately changed his attitude and respectfully asked the visitor: "I am paying homage to the general. Do you dare to ask the general?" ...a taboo name?”
"I am Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping."
"It turns out to be General Gongsun, whom I have admired for a long time..."
Before the guard could finish flattering him, Liu Bei said immediately: "Brother, do you still recognize me?"
"Are you..." Gongsun Zan heard the sound and looked at Liu Bei carefully: "Are you... Xuande?"
"Exactly."
"Haha, long time no see, Xuande."
Seeing this scene, the guard couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. He seemed to know General Gongsun and had just offended him.
"Let's stop standing outside, Xuande, let's go in first."
"good."
Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others walked into the station while talking.
The guard guard didn't dare to stop him, so he obediently stepped back and got out of the way.
"Hmph!" Zhang Fei, who followed Liu Bei in, gave him a fierce look when he passed by the guard.
The guard trembled.
Just after Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others entered, another cavalry team appeared at the door.
This cavalry is not large in number, only three hundred in number by visual inspection. Coincidentally, the leader is also riding a white horse.
The janitor stepped forward to stop him as usual, but this time he did not hesitate because of the small number of people on the other side. Instead, his attitude was a little better: "My subordinate is paying homage to the general. Do you dare to ask the general's name? But you are also here to participate in the alliance?"
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded: "I am Chen Feng, the magistrate of Wan County in Lujiang County, and I have come here to meet with you to form an alliance."
County...magistrate?
The guard was stunned and said...he is the county magistrate? Which of the people who entered earlier were not the prefects, governors and other prominent figures, and which ones were not accompanied by thousands of soldiers? (Except for the big-eared thief just now.)
He only has a county magistrate and only 300 people come to join the alliance? Isn’t this nonsense? No.
The janitor asked uncertainly: "Mr. Chen, are you sure... you didn't go to the wrong place?"
"Why, do you look down on us people?" Niu Da next to Chen Feng asked back.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, sir. I just felt a little surprised and wanted to confirm."
After learning from the previous lesson, the guard became much more honest and no longer judged people by their appearance: "Since you are here to meet with me, please come in."
The guard thought to himself: No matter what, the big-eared thief can get in, and the county magistrate can get in, too. At least he has three hundred cavalry, so the lord probably won't blame me... right?
"Report! Chen Feng, the magistrate of Lujiang Wan County, led three hundred cavalry to join the alliance!"
"???"
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes in the big tent were all stunned for a while, and they all felt that they had heard wrongly.
Until a handsome young man walked in and said, "I've met all the heroes in Xialujiang, Anhui County Magistrate Chen Jie."
Only then did everyone confirm that they heard correctly.
Yuan Shu said impatiently: "Nonsense, this is a place that a small county magistrate like you can stay in. Come on, get out!"
"Slow down!" Chen Feng waved his hand immediately. He had already thought of this situation on the road, so he calmly replied: "Today, the Dong thief is in power and does all kinds of evil. The reason why all the generals are gathered here is because they want to do everything they can." Each of them worked hard to eliminate harm to the country and help the Han Dynasty.
In terms of status, I am not as good as the generals, but every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. I eat the wealth of the Han Dynasty. If I don't think about serving the country, how am I different from an animal? I also hope that the generals will allow me to stay, even if I only do my humble part, I will live up to my status as the magistrate of Wan County given to me by the imperial court. "
When everyone heard this, hey, this kid has two tricks. He not only flattered everyone present, but also corrected his own position. What he said was so reasonable and reasonable that even Yuan Shu was embarrassed to let others take him out. .
"Haha! I think this County Magistrate Chen is a loyal man. Everyone, why not let him stay for now?" Cao Cao took the lead to smooth things over.
"It doesn't matter." Everyone agreed silently.
In this way, Chen Feng successfully joined the coalition, and the eighteen princes also arrived. Afterwards, everyone recommended Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince and the most prestigious, as the leader of the coalition. At the same time, they discussed the matters to be prepared to challenge Dong Qian...
