Chapter 791: Thirty-six princes
In September of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Qin Hao issued an appeal against Dong, calling on the princes of the world to unite to fight against Dong.
In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), thirty-six princes gathered at Jujube, and a princely feast officially began.

On the 35th route, Liu Ji, the governor of Bajun, sent five thousand troops;
On the 36th route, Bingzhou Mu and Qin Wen sent 50,000 troops;
Qin Hao also didn't expect that this time he would be able to recruit 36 princes to challenge Dong, and what kind of concept was this?
It can be said that except for Huang Chao, Han Sui and Wang Lang, all the princes in the world have joined the alliance, and Dong Zhuo has become the enemy of everyone in the world.
Dong Zhuo is so hated? This time it is completely clear.
Qin Hao secretly guessed that he also knew that so many princes would come, mainly because of the general trend.
When it became a matter of course to challenge the director, under the pressure of this general trend, most princes had to come over, otherwise their reputation would be affected.
This makes people very helpless, but there is no good way, so the alliance has also produced two models.
One is the more active princes, who all personally led their troops to the alliance and took the initiative to participate in this feast;
The second is the more passive princes. They made a statement to join the alliance, but they did not go there to participate in person. They only sent generals to command a small number of troops and horses to come and participate in the alliance.
A total of 27 princes came to this alliance in person. They were all actively participating in the fight against Dong, so they naturally brought the largest number of troops.
The person who led the largest number of troops was Qin Hao, who dispatched a total of 60,000 troops. The smaller ones, such as Liu Xiu and Ma Teng, only had 3,000 troops.
As for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and other princes, their military strength is between 30,000 and 50,000, while most of the other princes' troops are between 10,000 and 20,000.
The other nine princes were not willing to get involved, but they could not go against the general trend of attacking Dong Zhuo, so they had no choice but to make speeches to condemn Dong Zhuo and at the same time send other generals and troops to participate in the alliance, while they themselves stayed behind. Sit back and watch this feast.
The troops sent by these princes were not large. Except for the Jin family, the nine princes did not have more than 10,000 troops.
As for the Jin army, it was a bit special. They were definitely active princes, but because Qin Wen was physically unable to lead the army, he could only send Qin Jian, the most prestigious person.
Although the troops led by the thirty-six princes are of varying levels, they are still an extremely large number when gathered together.
After all the princes were gathered and confirmed, Qin Hao sent someone to count the total number of coalition forces and found that there were a total of 540,000 troops.
An army of 540,000, which is already more than all the troops under Dong Zhuo's command.
Dong Zhuo can have a total of 500,000 troops under his command, but it is impossible for him to mobilize all the troops. Apart from the basic troops guarding the states and counties, Dong Zhuo can mobilize up to 300,000 troops to fight the coalition forces.
In this way, the battle became 540,000 princes coalition forces vs. 300,000 Liangzhou troops.
The coalition has an absolute numerical advantage, but that doesn't mean it's a sure win.
Although the coalition forces are large in number, their quality is somewhat disappointing, but the Liang Army is different. The overall quality of the soldiers is higher than that of the coalition forces.
In addition, the 540,000 coalition forces belong to different forces. Without a strong leader, it will be difficult to unite and use their forces in one place.
Although the 300,000 Liangzhou Army belongs to different factions, they still belong to the Liang Army as a whole, so they are naturally much more united than the coalition forces.
From these two points, we can see that the battle against Dong is not that easy to fight. There must be a strong leader to ensure that the coalition can defeat the Liang army.
The Qin and Jin armies shared a large camp. After the Jin army arrived, Qin Hao's strength also increased to 110,000, reaching one-fifth of the coalition army.
With his military strength alone, Qin Hao has surpassed all the major princes, which is enough for him to take the position of leader of the alliance.
But to be on the safe side, Qin Hao is still trying to win over the major princes. Even if this may be superfluous, there is no harm in establishing good relations with the princes.
The lineup of generals dispatched by the Jin army this time is also very luxurious. In addition to the main general Qin Jian, there are also generals such as Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Guan Sheng, Luo Cheng, and the remaining generals such as Li Dingguo and Luo Yi. Stay in Bingzhou.
As for Qin Hao, there are even more powerful generals here. Not only are Li Cunxiao, Ran Min and Jiang Song, these three war gods with super magical skills, but also Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xue Rengui, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Qin Yong and other gods. Generals, Su Dingfang, Lin Chong, Qin Ming and other top players, the lineup is not even inferior to Dong Zhuo in the slightest.
It is worth mentioning that after Cheng Yaojin was redeemed, after learning that Qin Hao was Qin Qiong's clan brother, he agreed to join the Qin army without thinking.
When he learned that Qin Hao had used 300 pieces of armor to exchange for himself, Cheng Yaojin was even moved to tears. He never thought that he would be so valuable.
