Facts have proved that Jia Xu had a very accurate judgment on the situation after the establishment of the Thieves Alliance, which can be said to be true at all...

Just as the alliance to fight against thieves signed a contract, Liu Biao from Jingzhou raised 80,000 troops to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan, causing Yuan Shu, who had just been on the dragon throne for less than two months, to respond hastily.

Before this, after learning that Yuan Shu had become emperor, Sun Ce from Jiangdong immediately informed the world that he had officially left Yuan Shu's command and cleared his relationship with Yuan Shu without hesitation. In addition, Sun Ce captured and killed Yuan Shu's trusted generals and civil servants in the four counties of Jiangdong, with decisive and cruel means, and clearly stated his position, and had independent troops and separatist Jiangdong.

When the wars spread across the south of the Yangtze River, the battle between Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou had lasted for three months. In other words, when Yuan Shu of Huainan became emperor, Yuan Shao had already emerged from the shadow of Liu Xie's sudden death. Then, instead of giving up on himself, he accelerated his attack on Youzhou, trying to take advantage of the vassal alliance between the princes of each town to form a siege alliance to eliminate Gongsun Zan and seize Youzhou.

Unfortunately, since the soldiers of Jizhou learned that the emperor died suddenly and were poisoned by his lord Yuan Shao, the people's hearts were disintegrated, their morale was sluggish, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, which was much worse than before. In this way, the progress of the Jizhou army's attack on Youzhou can be imagined; the city that could have been able to go down in one go was extremely difficult, and they attacked the city for many days, but they still couldn't capture it for a long time.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zan, who had originally made up his mind to defend the city, swept away his depressed momentum and boosted his ambition. While sending Tian Kai to lead his troops to resist the harassment of Yan Rou's rebels, he stabilized the rear; while personally leading the army to resist the attack of the Jizhou army. He also put on armor and climbed up the city, fought and commanded the army to defend the city. With the successful resolute attack of the Jizhou army again and again, the Youzhou army under Gongsun Zan's command boosted its morale and high fighting spirit. He became more and more brave in the fight, and forced the strong offensive momentum of the Jizhou army, causing the two armies to fall into a stalemate again.

Just when the battle between Jiyou was in full swing, Gongsun Du from Liaodong sent his eldest son Gongsun Kang to lead 20,000 infantry and cavalry to help Gongsun Zan, and then fought with Yan Rou's rebels. This greatly reduced Gongsun Zan's rear defense pressure, allowing him to mobilize more troops to confront and fight with the Jizhou army.

At the same time, Cao Cao in Yanzhou issued a letter of war to Yuan Shao and officially declared war. While the letter of war was passed to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao led a 70,000 army into Qingzhou, and successively attacked the cities and villages for ten days, which was unstoppable. Yuan Tan, who was in Qingzhou, was caught off guard by Cao's army. So he quickly mobilized his troops and fought fiercely with Cao Cao's army in Pingyuan City.

At this point, the Anti-Bandit Alliance had just been established, and the princes of each town could not wait to lead their troops to fight and launched an attack immediately. Within half a month, the five princes in the alliance sent troops one after another, encircled and suppressed the two Yuans on the battlefields of Hebei and Huainan, and won the battle. At the same time, all the princes adjacent to Li Li of Xiliang gathered heavy troops on the border. Always beware of the Xiliang army's sneak attack on their territory.

As a result, seven of the princes in the ten towns of the world had been involved in this battle to fight against rebellion, and at the center of the war were Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Yuan Shu of Huainan. The remaining three towns of the princes were still watching on the wall.

There is no need to say much about Liu Zhang in Yizhou. The Shu Road can block others and himself. If others can't get in, he can't get out. Seeing that the princes in the Central Plains were fighting fiercely, Liu Zhang could only sit in Chengdu and sigh. Even if he wanted to get involved, he was blocked by the Shu Road. What can he do?

Lu Bu in Xuzhou, who had received some benefits from Yuan Shu, took the initiative to submit his support. Now that he was watching the two Yuans become the target of public criticism, he felt very distressed and regretted it. If he had known that Li Li of Xiliang would join forces with the princes of various towns to attack the two Yuans, he would not have taken the initiative to submit to Yuan Shu no matter what. Now Yuan Shu was besieged by two princes, and he was ashamed of needles and needles and needles, and was anxious. Once Yuan Shu was defeated, would the princes of each town be punished and then attack Xuzhou? This question has been lingering in Lu Bu's mind. He was not afraid of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, nor was he afraid of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, but he was very afraid of Li Li in Xiliang, and very afraid.

However, the current situation is unclear, and Lu Bu is worried about gains and losses, and he is really unsure of his mind. He doesn't know how to deal with himself and which side he should lean on.

The last prince who watched the wall was Li Li, the leader of the Xiliang. What is surprising is that the leader of the alliance did not send out a single army or a soldier, but no princes stood up to accuse or urged him to send troops. Instead, he accepted this fact with peace of mind.

There is no doubt that Li Li's every move is highly concerned at the moment. Once the troops are mobilized, it will immediately attract the attention of the princes of the town, and the neighboring princes will be very panicked. For this reason, the princes of the town unanimously elected him as the leader of the princes. Since he is in the position of the leader of the alliance, he should have a noble character, at least with a high attitude, such as betraying his allies, sending troops to attack, stealing the fruits of the alliance's victory, you can put them away as soon as possible, so as not to make people laugh and despise the world.

Because of this, when the wars were rising in various states around the world, Li Li let the storm rise and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, sat in the Luoyang County Magistrate's Mansion and leisurely savored tea. The hundreds of thousands of troops under his command remained silent and watched from the wall. This time, he was not deliberately done by him, but was pushed up by the princes of various towns. It was such a strange thing!

Since ancient times, any prince who was elected as the leader of the alliance has always been the princes who sent the most troops and the most powerful. The leader of the princes like Li Li, who is leisurely and carefree, is definitely an unprecedented and strange thing.

There is no such example.

??

Luoyang County Magistrate's Mansion. One hour ago, the main hall gate was closed, but it suddenly opened and dozens of Xiliang generals walked out of it.

Watching the generals walk out of the mansion one after another, Li Li stood in the center of the main hall with his hands behind his back, and without looking back, he ordered Mi Zhu, who was writing at the corner of the hall, and said, "Copy seven copies of this general's order and send a quick horse to the princes of each town to avoid misunderstandings."

"Oh, I'm following the order." Mi Zhu stood up after hearing the sound, respectfully accepted the order, so he picked up Zhu Jian from the desk and bowed to leave, and quickly left the main hall.

The people who stayed in the hall at this moment were all confidant officials under Li Li, including the left military advisor Jia Xu, the right military advisor Guo Jia, the Zhendong General Bo Cai, the Feixiong Camp commander Huan Fei, the Qinglong Camp commander Xu Chu, the trap camp commander Gao Shun, and the Anbei General Zhou Yu who was ordered to arrive.

After Mi Zhu left with the copied bamboo slips, Li Li strided to the inner room behind the main hall, and called everyone in the hall to go to the inner room to talk.

After a brief greeting, the lord took a seat. Li Li said straight to the point: "You have heard the arrangements for the princes in each town. When the princes entered the alliance, they had agreed that whoever captured the city in this battle against the thieves would belong to the ones. Before the two Yuans were completely wiped out, other princes shall not be robbed. I am the leader of the princes, and I am also the notary and supervisor of this resolution, and I am responsible for preserving justice for the princes in each town. If anyone dares to violate the alliance, I, Li Li, have the responsibility to recover the lost land for the princes who have lost the city, and those who dare to resist the orders will be disobeyed.

Secondly, there were two main battlefields in this battle against Yuan, one in Hebei and the other in Huainan, so the alliance had two deputy leaders. The Hebei battlefield was dominated by Cao Cao of Yanzhou as the main force of attack, and he would lead troops to attack Qingzhou; the Huainan battlefield was dominated by Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and led the Jingzhou army under his command to attack Yuan Shu together with Sun Ce of Jiangdong to attack Yuan Shu, and whoever captured the territory would be his. And I led a large army to marches into Liaodong, joining the three forces of Gongsun Du of Liaodong, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and Yan Rou, the rebel leader, to wipe out the Wuhuan tribe and Xianbei barbarians entrenched on the border of Youzhou, and then led the army south to eradicate Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

Finally, there is an agreement, that is, if anyone kills Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, the county town where his prefecture is located will belong to. This means that the treasury money and grain that the Yuan brothers accumulated for many years will belong to him, and the other princes are jealous of it, it is useless. After all, the Yuan brothers are the top priority in the battle against Yuan, and this is the case.

I proposed these three alliances, so our army must abide by them and must not be overruled. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence: People do not have faith but do not establish themselves. I, Li Li, are known for their faith in the world, and this time is no exception. I hope you will remember them in your heart and do not let me, Li Li, break my trust in the princes in the towns."

"No!" Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and others responded in unison.

Li Li nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and then turned his head to signal to Jia Xu, asking him to convey the general order on his behalf.

Jia Xu immediately understood and said with a solemn expression: "In line with the will of the lord, our army will maintain its existing strength in this battle against Yuan and will no longer be dispatched to join the war. Under the order of the lord general, General Zhou Yu of Anbei took charge of the Sili Central Army and served as the chief general of the Central Army. He held the lord general's flag to be in charge of Sili, and was in the middle to dispatch troops. He could wait for an opportunity to send troops in both the south and north battlefields. Bo Cai was the deputy general of the Central Army, and Jia Xu was the military advisor. If an emergency occurs, the three of them would discuss it themselves and promised to be arbitrary on the spot and report it later."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Xu retreated behind Zhou Yu, bowed to Li Li with Zhou Yu and Bo Cai, and accepted the order in unison.

After the ceremony, Jia Xu went out and continued to inform the military order: "The Lord General's Order, Wuweiying, Feixiongying, and Qinglongying, the troops and horses left behind in Sili, waiting for General Zhou Yu to dispatch. The Lord General personally led the Wuweiying, Feiyan Light Cavalry, Wushuang Iron Cavalry and 10,000 Cang camps, and together with 10,000 Jinqiwei, 20,000 Bingzhou County Government soldiers, a total of 130,000 troops went to Youzhou. Among them, the Wushuang Iron Cavalry, who was under the leadership of Zhao Yun, was the front army, and Zhao Yun served as the vanguard general, Jin Qiwei, Wuwei, and the 3rd battalion of the camp, 50,000 soldiers of the 3rd battalion of the camp were the central army, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were the deputy generals of the central army, Feiyan Light Cavalry and 20,000 county government soldiers were the rear army, in charge of the army's baggage, Zhang Yan served as the chief general of the rear army. Right Army Gu Jia, General's Officer Mi Zhu and General's Office priests of wine went to the army to go to war with the army. They set off two days later, and half a month later, gathered a large army in Dai County of Youzhou to wait for an opportunity to march into Youzhou!"

"No!" Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and others responded in unison.

After receiving the orders one after another, Zhou Yu, Bo Cai, Huan Fei and other generals couldn't help but wonder who the General's Mansion was mentioned in the military order, and why he had never heard of the General's Mansion having a position of priest before? However, Li Li did not explain this, smiled and said nothing, with an expectation in his eyes, as if he had high hopes for the General's Mansion who had never appeared.
