Chapter 599

The Taiping Army returned victorious, and a hearty victory made all the commanders and the entire Taiping Army quite excited.

Luo Xiao knew that Qin Wangjun could not sit idly by and would definitely take action, so he sent someone to investigate Qin Wangjun's movements.

Yinghou Luo Zichuan led the army to the northeast of Xingyang, ready to fight with Wushuang Hou Luokong.

Beijing County.

In the south of Xingyang, Yuan Shao took the stage as the leader of Guandong South Road to swear an oath, and gathered the eight princes. There are more than a dozen other powerful people like Liu Bei, but they are not qualified to be among the princes. Twenty princes.

"Yuan Shao, originally a noble duke, a humble man, I have been entrusted with the great responsibility of the leader of the alliance, thanks to the gentleness of the dukes."

On the high platform, Yuan Shao was full of spirit, and said in a clear voice: "Now we call on the heroes and warriors from all directions with great righteousness, and tell the righteous men in the world:

Since Emperor Shizu Guangwu was appointed again, the decline of Hantong has never exceeded this moment.

The threat to His Majesty's life has never been greater than this moment.

The chaos and killings in the country have never surpassed this moment.

Yin and Yang are reversed, order does not exist, and in the Kyushu, people are devastated, and there is no more than this moment.

Some of the princes came from the grasslands of the surrounding counties, some came from the Confucian scholars and poor families, but they were all loyal ministers of the great man.

Today, blood for alliance does not mention background, but loyalty and merit.

Invade Taiping and revitalize the Han Dynasty. "

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan felt a little dissatisfied in an instant. When he was in Luoyang, his relationship with Yuan Shao was mediocre. Now that Yuan Shao said that he was a reckless person in the border county, he couldn't help but get angry instantly.

But hearing that the land of the swearing-in teacher has already started to shout in unison, knowing that this is not the time to conflict with Yuan Shao, he can only whisper to Liu Bei angrily: "The reckless people in the border county, who is this Yuan Benchu ​​talking about?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly comforted him, "Elder brother is a prominent family with two thousand shi in the world. The people in the county here certainly don't refer to elder brother. I'm afraid it's someone like me, Liu Xuande."

Gongsun Zan's expression softened a bit, but he still said angrily: "Xuande, you are a member of the Han family, how can you be a reckless border county? This Yuan Benchu ​​has always looked down on me and other prominent border county families because of his background in Confucian classics.

Look at the Luo family, the thousand-year-old family, the origins of hundreds of families, what kind of Confucian classics, such a famous family in the world, has never discriminated against my famous family in Bianjun. When I went to Zhaocheng to study, I learned that I was The Gongsun clan of Youzhou, the son of the Luo clan also greatly praised my Gongsun clan.

And he was just a bastard, so he has nothing to be proud of.

Seeing this Qin Wang, I, Gongsun Zan, must make the greatest contribution and slap Yuan Shao in the face severely. "

Hearing this, Liu Bei could only reassure, but secretly smiled wryly in his heart, Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu ​​and his elder brother, Gongsun Zan, both had talents, but each had their own shortcomings.

Yuan Shao's eyes are higher than the top, and he values ​​his background, which can't be blamed on him, it's always like this now.

The only one who doesn't value birth is the Luo family, but the reason why the Luo family doesn't value it is because, in Luo's view, there is no difference.

What's more, there are still children from wealthy noble families marrying noble sons from poor families. The last time a daughter of the Luo family married outside, it can be traced back to the former Han champion Jing Huanhou.

It is easy to get a public official, but hard to find a Luo girl. This is a common saying that was passed down in the Han Dynasty a hundred years later.

Yuan Shao paid too much attention to his background, he was just a hero, and even if he didn't use the humble family, the impact on the great cause was actually not that great.

Gongsun Zan's shortcomings are more serious. He is not very broad-minded, but only some ambiguous words, and he can hold grudges like this.

In Liu Bei's view, the most important thing is to be able to accomplish things, and it is most important to make more friends. Make many friends so that those who follow him can make the best use of them. How can we not accomplish great things?
Fortunately, Gongsun Zan still knew that the overall situation was the most important thing, and he didn't conflict with Yuan Shao at this time, otherwise Liu Bei really didn't know what to do.

The most urgent thing now is to put down the Taiping Army as soon as possible, so that the world can settle down as soon as possible.

Then enter Luoyang, and kindly persuade the emperor to reform the world as soon as possible, clean up those eunuchs who have harmed the country and the people, and choose loyal and upright ministers to manage the country.

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were talking here in a low voice. The swearing-in has come to an end. An old scalper was led in front of everyone, and a sharp dagger was gently wiped at the old scalper's throat, accompanied by a shrill cry. , A stream of blood fell into the bowl.

Yuan Shao was the first to smear the ox blood on his lips, and the other princes stepped forward in order. Gongsun Zan also stopped communicating with Liu Bei and smeared the ox blood on his lips. Liu Bei looked enviously, I don't know when I will be able to have the capital to form an alliance with these heroes of the world.

"Heaven above, I will wait for the princes to advance together with one heart, and we will pledge blood as an alliance to overcome peace together, and take this as an oath."

All the feudal lords shouted in unison, and then Yuan Shao vigorously said, "March into Xingyang, take Meng De as the vanguard.

Bogui had the best cavalry in the world, so he assisted Meng De. Only Bogui could deal with the Taiping cavalry. "

Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Gongsun Zan couldn't help but feel a little complacent. This ability to train cavalry is the thing he is most proud of in his life. Now seeing that even Yuan Shao admires him, how can he not be proud?
"Mr. Zichu, please look, the cavalry of the Taiping bandit army are nothing more than embroidered pillows. My white horse Yicong from Youzhou will trample them into bloody mud.

Moreover, Meng Degong's soldiers may not be elite enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the vanguard, so it is better to leave it to Zan.

The first battle must be won, otherwise how can the prestige of the leader be demonstrated? "

As soon as Gongsun Zan said this, Liu Bei wanted to go up and cover his mouth. Brother, you have a loud voice, but when did your mouth become so loud?

How can this be said?
Directly offended both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Sure enough, a trace of anger flashed across Cao Cao's face, and the brothers Cao and Xiahou who were behind him immediately wanted to come forward to ask for an explanation for their elder brother.

Liu Bei also took his two sworn brothers to step forward to support Gongsun Zan. Although Gongsun Zan had a big mouth, he was one of his own after all and had to help.

Standing behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu was dumbfounded. He thought he was an arrogant person, and he didn't like most people, but now that he saw Gongsun Zan, he realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. This is called pride.

In front of Caimeng's arena, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and Yuan Shao quickly stopped it. He still knew very well that there must be no internal strife now.

But seeing Gongsun Zan's rather insolent smile, Yuan Shao's eyebrows flashed with deep dissatisfaction.

He admitted that Baima Yicong was indeed very strong. When Gongsun Zan led the army to the League, he shocked all the princes. Almost no one had seen such elite cavalry, but Yuan Shao did not expect Gongsun Zan to be so arrogant.

He, Yuan Shao, is the leader of the alliance. You, Gongsun Zan, are so stealthy. Did you take me seriously? If it wasn’t for the rebellion of the Taiping Army, even a country bumpkin from a border county like this would never be able to enter Luoyang and become a minister for the rest of his life. It is impossible to form an alliance with me, Yuan Benchu.

Now it is so humiliating to me!

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are good friends, even their personalities are very similar.

There is no doubt that both of them are absolute heroes, and even in this era of outstanding people, they are extremely rare.

But when both of them are going against the trend, they can frantically look for opportunities and fully display their talents.

But the disadvantage is that the tailwind is too rough, and this kind of tailwind is not an objective tailwind, but what Yuan Shao and Cao Cao think of as a tailwind.

Now Yuan Shao felt that defeating the Taiping Army was an easy task, so his goal was not only to win, but also to win beautifully and gain prestige.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao secretly said cruelly: "Gongsun Zan, let you be rampant for a while, wait for you to lose the battle, see how I deal with you, see how you have the face to be rampant in front of me at that time, don't take you down Pi, I give you the reputation of being handsome in this world."

After Gongsun Zan said what was in his heart, he was very happy. He smiled and led the army away with Liu Bei and others. Cao Cao, as Yuan Shao's younger brother and friend, comforted Yuan Shao, promising that he would save face for Yuan Shao and lead the army. leave.

The rest of the princes looked at each other, and went to lead their troops to attack Xingyang. Although Gongsun Zan didn't show face, the lord seemed to take the overall situation into consideration, which made everyone feel at ease.

As for Gongsun Zan, just let him go, Bianjun Wufu is like this, he doesn't understand etiquette, and he doesn't know how to teach.

If Gongsun Zan knew that these people thought of him so much, he would probably get angry with them on the spot.

……

"These kings and princes, on the surface, seem to be powerful and powerful, far superior to my Taiping Dao, but in fact, they all have their own ghosts inside, and there are not many princes who are really willing to fight to the death.

The friendly army is in trouble, and it does not move like a mountain.

It is absolutely impossible to overcome difficulties.

This is what they will do. In a country with extremely corrupt politics, how can there be soldiers who are not afraid of death? "

In Xingyang, after receiving the news of Yuan Shaohui's allied attack, Luo Xiao said to the generals in a disdainful tone, and the generals took it very seriously. They now understand what it means to be popular.

After Luo Xiao's management from the rear, the four words "the world is auspicious" were moved from fantasy to the front of the Taiping Army by Luo Xiao. This kind of obvious life has improved, and the future will be even better, which brought about a change in heart It is too obvious.

Now that the Taiping Army is fighting, there is no need for Shuai Qu to boost morale at the front. When the drums are sounded, the soldiers will naturally charge forward screaming.

Whether it is the will to fight or the tenacity and unyielding, there has been a huge improvement. These two are the factors that most affect the combat effectiveness of the army. The current Taiping Army is much stronger than before.

----

At a banquet in Luoyang, all the generals talked about the way of war. The emperor said: "I read Huaiyin and grandsons, and they all got something. Only Taiping's bravery and bravery used his life. He doubted the way. When it comes to advancement, it is the action of Zhijiao, not the words of evil Gu. , in fact, it is also the way of imperialism, which uses the king's domineering to create a peaceful world, so the Taoist disciples are brave, and the brave people, how can they not win the battle?" —— "Wei Shu·The Book of Emperor Wudi"
