Flying snow welcomes spring. In early spring, there are still fine snowflakes floating outside Chenliu City. The ground is covered with a thick layer of white snow. Everything is sleeping and dormant in the solemn cold snow. Only the coalition barracks that stretch for more than 200 miles, with flags waving, swords and guns lit up, and people and horses neighing. Especially in the central tent of the coalition army in the middle of the military camp, there are a few large iron pots burning, warming the entire tent.

Song Shijiang followed Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, into the big tent, but saw that there were already heroes sitting around the big tent, and the crowds were filled with people. Cao Cao was sitting in the tent and talking to someone. Seeing Qiao Mao and Song Shijiang came in, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Yuan Wei, you have just come, and all the princes of all families have already sat down. Come, sit here. Xu Cao introduced them one by one."

With Cao Cao's introduction to Qiao Mao and Qiao Yuanwei, Song Shijiang also met various princes one by one.

The first town is a friendship with Haojun, a hero, and a later general, and the prefect of Nanyang Yuan Shu.

The second town, which connects the various philosophers, reads the Nine Classics, and Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou.

The third town is full of discussion and has a great talk, and is aware of the present and ancient times. The governor of Yuzhou, Kong Yichang, is the courtesy name.

The fourth town is filial, kind and kind, and treats scholars with oneself. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, is named Gongshan.

In the fifth town, he was generous and generous, and spent money like soil. Wang Kuang, the prefect of Henei County, was named Gongjie.

The sixth town is a poor and urgent relief, with great ambitions and aspirations. The prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao was named Meng Zhuo.

The seventh town is loyal, Yuan Liang, and elegant and literary. Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, was named Boye.

The eighth town is very wise, good at martial arts and literary, and the minister of Jibei Bao Xin's courtesy name is Yuncheng.

The ninth town is a sage sect, hospitality and politeness, and the prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, the name of Wenju.

The tenth town has outstanding martial arts and outstanding majesty. The prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao is named Menggao.

The 11th town is a kind and gentleman, with a kind and kind virtue. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is named Gongzu.

The twelfth town is famous for the Qiang and Hu towns, the Śrāvaka and the Yi and Xia people, and the prefect of Xiliang, Ma Teng, the courtesy name Shoucheng.

The Thirteenth Town, with a sound like a huge bell, was full of heroic figures, and the prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan was named Bogui.

In the 14th town, he adapted to changes and acted bravely in the face of affairs. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, was named Zhisheng.

The 15th Town, the hero is the world, the bravest, Wucheng Hou, and the prefect of Changsha Sun Jian Wentai.

The sixteenth town, the fourth generation of the three dukes, many former officials, the Marquis of Qixiang, and the prefect of Bohai Yuan Shao.

Song Shijiang counted secretly, and added the convener of the manifesto, Chenliu, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, as well as his own prefect of Dongjun, Qiao Mao, and Song Shijiang, Fan County, the town was just eighteenth Route. Qiao Mao greeted the princes of each town one by one.

At this time, Cao Cao heard Cao shouting: "Everyone, today Cao introduced another person to you. This person is loyal and brave. When he heard the emperor's secret edict, he saw Cao's manifesto, and he also led his country soldiers to join Qiao Yuanwei, the prefect of Dongjun, to join the alliance. He went to the countryside with 10,000 soldiers and the soldiers were brave. He recommended him to sit in a camp and be the 19th Route, but what?" Cao Cao pointed to Song Shijiang and smiled and said, "This is Song Jiang, the magistrate of Shouzhang County, Song Gongming!"

Qiao Mao also smiled and pushed out Song Shijiang. Song Shijiang bowed his head and bowed in all directions, saying, "Shouzhang County Magistrate Song Jiang greeted all the lords."

Suddenly, a sneer rang out: "Hmph, the 19th Town. Just a county magistrate can be a prince. I'm afraid that it's not that Cao Gong wants to be the leader of the princes, so he shows kindness and alliances everywhere."

Cao Cao was furious and looked in the sound. He saw that the sneer was the general who was sneering, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang. Cao Cao laughed, but narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Cao believed that he was loyal and righteous. Now he summoned all towns to support the royal family and expel Dong's thief, and was devoted to the public. If he had selfish thoughts, he would be punished by heaven and earth. As the leader of the alliance, he would have a high moral character and a high reputation. Cao Cao was weak and still had a self-knowledge, but he would not dare to be the leader. In this way, everyone, we will first recommend the leader, and then decide what to do?"

After hearing this, the princes couldn't help but be moved and said, "Now there are many soldiers and horses, it is better to establish a leader. Only when the people listen to the constraints can they be unified. So who can be the leader?"

Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, said: "Chen Liu and Cao Cao were first issued a manifesto. Only then did the princes gather together and be the leader of the alliance."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I don't want to be the leader of the alliance. If I do it, wouldn't it be verbal? Someone just said that something is not something I can't do."

Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, said: "The prefect of Nanyang, Yuan Shu, is the legitimate son of Yuan, and the three princes of four generations. He has an old official, so can he be the leader of the alliance?"

Yuan Shu was overjoyed and clasped his fists at Bao Xin and said, "Xie Yuncheng, and Shu must do his best."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Some people say that a certain person has selfish thoughts. If he is the leader of the alliance, wouldn't he have selfish thoughts and wouldn't he have even more selfish thoughts? He would have looked at Kai long ago?"

"You!" Yuan Shu had a gloomy face, his fingers glared at Cao Cao but couldn't speak.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and clasped his fists at one person and said, "The Yuan family's children come not only by the road. Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, Yuan Benchu, is the eldest son of the Yuan family. He has been loyal and brave since childhood. He has many soldiers and horses. He has a lot of brave generals and can be the leader of the alliance."

The man was Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai. Seeing that he was eight feet tall, he was handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, long beard, and dressed in gorgeous clothes. He was extremely majestic. When he saw Cao Cao recommending him, he laughed, shook his long sleeves, and bowed his fists and said, "Meng De, Yuan is not the leader. First, you and I have been having a good relationship since childhood, but you have pushed me, but others are not convinced; secondly, there are more heroes in the towns here than someone suitable."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Look, both of them are descendants of the Yuan family, but they are so rude. Whoever has public intentions and selfish thoughts can be seen as this. In the beginning, you must be the leader."

Qiao Mao also spoke, "Original, you are the one who is tall and famous. This leader must be you."

Everyone persuaded him repeatedly, and Yuan Shao had to reluctantly agree. So everyone helped Shao to advance to the tent and sat down. The two rows of princes sat in a row according to their titles and ages.

Yuan Shao's first sentence after sitting down said: "Since both Cao Gong and Prefect Qiao recommended the magistrate of Song County as the 19th town, then the magistrate of Song County might as well find a seat later." Yuan Shao is also a smart person. Since he became the leader, he will immediately repay his favor.

Song Shijiang stepped out and bowed and said, "Thank you, the leader."

Unexpectedly, he was annoyed at this time. He started to curse, his voice trembling as thunder, and he was in the same way as Dian Wei: "Song Jiang can also be a town. A certain brother is also a county magistrate, so he can also be a town."

Yuan Shao was kind to Song Shijiang, that was the love of Cao Cao and Qiao Mao. Hearing this, his face became gloomy and he said angrily: "Who is making noise?"

I saw the two of them busy out of the line. The first person was Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Peking. He clasped his fists and said, "Forgive the leader, the noise is the Sima Zhang Fei, a member of my friend, the commander of Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei."

"So, someone comes and you'll behead you." Yuan Shao had never seen Liu Bei, so he would not be polite to a mere county magistrate.

Song Shijiang, who was the last seat, immediately observed these people. The man behind Gongsun Zan was not tall, dressed simply, had a good appearance, and did not show his voice easily, leaving three long strands of long beards, but his hands were particularly long, which should be Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Two burly men stood side by side behind the place where they were standing. One on the left was 1.9 meters tall, with a strong waist, a green robe and a green hat, and a long beard. It was undoubtedly Mr. Guan Yu. At this time, his slender eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he had fallen asleep and never spoke. The one next to him was roaring like thunder, and he saw that he was 1.85 meters tall, with big arms and round waist, swelling muscles, leopard head and round eyes, swallow chin and tiger beard, and was glaring at the big copper bell eyes, and roaring loudly: "Who are you, dare to kill grandpa?" This person must be Zhang Fei.

"No, Alliance Leader Yuan, before killing the enemy, he will kill his generals first. This is unlucky. I hope the Alliance Leader will spare Zhang Fei's life for the time being." Gongsun Zan hurriedly pleaded for Zhang Fei, "Besides, although Liu Bei and Liu County Magistrate Liu were lowly, one was the relative of the royal family; the other was the result of killing the Yellow Turban. It would be a good idea to build a town like Song Jiang."

"Oh, County Magistrate Liu is a royal family?" Yuan Shao was a little hesitant after hearing that Liu Bei was a descendant of the royal family.

When Liu Bei saw this, he took a step forward and leaned over and said, "Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande, is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, the Han Dynasty. I pay homage to all the generals." Song Shijiang laughed in his heart. The royal relatives of his ancestors who were eighteen generations outside of his ancestors were also royal relatives.

"Okay, it's not only a descendant of the royal family, but also worth a seat. Xuande, go and find a seat to sit down." Yuan Shao heard Gongsun Zan's advice, he was not a strong and decisive person, so hesitated for a moment and accepted Liu Bei's own town.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and found a position at the end of the ranks of princes, just opposite Song Shijiang. Zhang Fei and the other two naturally stood behind Liu Bei with their hands crossed. Liu Bei saw that Song Shijiang kept looking at him, so he bowed his hand to bow to Song Shijiang.

Song Shijiang hurriedly stood up and saluted Liu Bei respectfully. He thought to himself, haha, these emperors of the Three Kingdoms have finally appeared one by one. This is how my career in the Three Kingdoms is truly the beginning. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan are now your father Sun Jian. I admire you and worship you all the heroes, but you are all the targets of my challenge to me, Song Shijiang, and I will be defeated by me, robbed your brave generals, seize your counselors, and occupy your territory. This troubled time will end my Song Shijiang, and a brand new world will start from me. Song Shijiang was so excited that he couldn't help but let his thoughts go.

Suddenly, I heard Yuan Shao say, "In this way, we have a total of twenty people gathered in the town. Are there any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads and no longer had any objections.

"If so, today we will first make a blood alliance and set up a division of labor. Do you have any objections?" Yuan Shao asked again. Of course, everyone had no objections.

So, Yuan Shao was the leader, and a group of twenty princes burned incense and worshiped each other, slandering for blood, saying, "The Han Dynasty was unfortunate and the imperial system was out of power. The traitorous minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the danger and harmed the supreme people, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the country, merged the righteous soldiers and went to the national crisis. Anyone who joined the alliance and worked together to achieve the integrity of the ministers would have no two ambitions. With this alliance, he would lose his life and not be able to conquer the remaining family. The emperor and the ancestors were wise and spiritual, and they all understood it!"

After paying his respects, Yuan Shao looked around the princes and said, "Although Shao is not talented, since Duke Cheng and others are recommended to be the leader of the alliance, they will be rewarded for their merits and punished for their crimes. The state has regular punishments and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by them and do not violate them."

The princes clasped their fists and said, "Only the leader of the alliance is obedient."

Yuan Shao said: "Suppose the prefect of Changsha Sun Jian as the vanguard and go straight to Sishui Pass, and there must be no mistakes. He ordered the prefect of Nanyang Yuan Shu to governor food and grass to deal with the camps without any shortage. The other princes followed me to take charge of the camps, thinking that they would respond."
