Suanzao County is part of Chenliu County, Yanzhou, far away from Luoyang. Cao Cao, who was originally the governor of Chenliu, had naturally arrived in the jujubes and was ready to receive the heroes from all walks of life 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. So much so that in the end, a small jujube army 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 first month of the first year of Chuping (190), princes from all walks of life gathered at Jujube, and a princely feast officially began.

In the 20th town, he established scriptures and schools, loved the people and raised scholars, and Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, was named Jingsheng.
In the 21st town, Zhu Chong, the prefect of Wu County, was named Yuanzhang, who had both foresight and courage.
In the 22nd town, there was a capable minister in times of peace and a traitor in troubled times. Cao Cao, the prefect of Chenliu, was named Mengde.
Due to the continuous influence of the butterfly effect, in addition to Liu Bei, who has already begun to develop, the eighteen-line princes in the novel have now added three more groups to fight against Dong, and it has become the twenty-two-line princes who want to fight against Dong. There are three more groups: Liu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Xiang.
Since 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 undergone earth-shaking changes.
In original history, no one from Yangzhou came to join the protest against Dong, but since Zhu Yuanzhang had appeared at this time, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to gain fame.
Liu Biao, on the other hand, 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 challenge against Dong, while he himself continued to sit in the north of Jing and defend 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 the Yellow Turban nest in Yanzhou in the north, but also regained Nanyang. He also withstood Xiang Xiang again and again in the south. 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 many bastards among them.
For example, Ma Teng, he just put up a name and did not send out any soldiers at all. Moreover, even if he wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to get through in his current position.
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. Facing threats such as Guo Wei, Dou Jiande, Qin Zheng, Chi You, and Hong Xiuquan, they simply could not mobilize a large number of troops. Although it is important to fight against Dong, it is not as good as the stability of his hometown!
The remaining people brought more troops, and Li Xiang's 30,000 was just average. However, since these 30,000 are cavalry, Li Xiang's strength is 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 one county, they were able to raise so many troops in just a few years. The heritage of the family of the Four Generations and Three Dukes is evident.
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 those gathered here are only the troops brought out by various princes to defeat Dong, not including the troops they left to defend their homes.
However, what Li Xiang did not 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 late Han Dynasty land. As the population increased, the number of troops available for recruitment naturally increased.
Although the various princes cannot use summoning points to obtain the buff of double population summoning bonus, the population of their autonomous regions has increased a lot over the past few years.
Especially Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, Runan and Nanyang under their rule were the most populous counties, ranking among the best among the many counties in the entire Han Dynasty. Although the annual population summons does not affect them, the annual population growth rate has produced real benefits for them.
Under the circumstance that the population growth rate forced by the system in various places is the same, the population base under their rule is so much larger than others, and the benefits they receive will naturally be greater.
After the various princes gathered together, they roughly counted the number of the entire allied army, and found that there were 410,000 troops 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 is still at an advantage.
