Chapter 137

"Therefore, my master hopes to form a coalition again."

"Even if we cannot rescue His Majesty in one battle, we must curb Dong Zhuo's momentum of further development and growth."

Guo Tu said all the purposes for which Yuan Shao sent him here.

Unlike other warlords.

There was no deep contradiction between Liu Bei, a newly risen warlord, and other Guandong warlords.

At the same time, the title hanging on Liu Bei was a member of the Han royal family.

But Liu Bei's Han royal family status was not recognized by Dong Zhuo like Liu Biao's.

Therefore, whether it was to enhance his own reputation or to revive the Han dynasty.

Liu Bei had a natural hostile relationship with Dong Zhuo.

Joining the alliance built by Yuan Shao to hold together and resist Dong Zhuo.

For Liu Bei, there were only benefits and no harm.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately said to Guo Tu:

"Mr. Gongze, I already know the meaning of Leader Yuan."

"As a member of the Han royal family, I naturally cannot watch His Majesty fall into the clutches of the old villain Dong Zhuo!"

"As long as the leader gives an order, I will definitely lead the Huainan troops to join the alliance!"

Hearing Liu Bei's resolute answer, a flash of joy appeared on Guo Tu's face.

Don't look at the number of troops under Liu Bei, which was not many for the time being.

But the Huainan aristocratic families had already begun to invest in Liu Bei.

This destined that Liu Bei would soon usher in a peak period of development.

At that time, he would definitely become one of the major main forces of the coalition.

……

Meanwhile.

Kong Rong and Zhang Yang, the two relatively weak warlords used as fillers, also successively agreed to Yuan Shao's alliance invitation.

All parties actively entered a state of preparation for war.

Preparing to form an alliance again in Suanzao.

The news spread like wildfire.

It was soon passed back to Chang'an by the scouts of Dong Zhuo's army.

Learning the news, Dong Zhuo immediately called Li Ru and Gu Yi to discuss the matter.

After taking their seats, Li Ru took the lead:

"This time, the alliance of the Guandong rebels is still led by Yuan Shao."

"The participants are seven warlords, including Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Kong Rong, and Zhang Yang."

"Plus Yuan Shao, there are a total of eight warlords."

"Although the number is much smaller than before."

"But the power under each of them has been correspondingly improved."

"Especially Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who have the strongest momentum of development."

After listening to Li Ru's introduction, Gu Yi nodded slightly.

It was the same as he had expected before.

Liu Bei really ran to Huainan to develop.

And correspondingly.

The power under Yuan Shu was not only not improved compared to the last alliance, but also declined.

After all.

Sun Ce's combat power was very fierce.

If not for the Yuzhou aristocratic group and the Nanyang aristocratic group acting as wet nurses to support him, I am afraid Yuan Shu would have fled in defeat long ago.

"This group of damn Guandong rebels."

"I just sent Linzhi to pacify Yizhou and Hanzhong not long ago, and they couldn't wait to form an alliance again."

Old Dong was a little angry.

Although the military power of the Guandong warlords could not take any advantage.

But they had the Guandong aristocratic group behind them as wet nurses, which was really annoying.

"Master, don't worry."

"Although this group of Guandong rebels is coming fiercely."

"But no matter how loud their slogans are, they cannot cover up the evil intentions in their hearts."

"Coalition, it is destined that there are strong and weak ones."

"This time, our army can change the combat strategy, turn passive into active, and take the weakest one among them to operate on!"

A flash of ferocity flashed in Gu Yi's eyes.

He had already predicted that the Guandong warlords might form a coalition again not long ago.

Since the Guandong warlords still dared to take the initiative, it would be better to let them feel the pain well.

Although the wet nurses of the Guandong aristocratic group had strong blood-returning ability.

But no matter how strong the blood-returning ability is, there will be a day when the blue bar is exhausted.

This time, Gu Yi was confident in severely damaging the Guandong coalition and creating a new transformation in the situation of Guandong on the original basis!

Of course.

Not all Guandong warlords joined the coalition.

For example, Sun Ce.

Now he is nominally Dong Zhuo's little brother.

This butcher knife has already killed crazy in Yuzhou!

The Yuzhou aristocratic group and the Nanyang aristocratic group suffered heavy losses because of this.

As long as Yuan Shao's brain was not broken, it was impossible to invite a "great villain" like Sun Ce to join the coalition.

On the contrary, he needed to take the initiative to lead the coalition to attack Sun Ce.

Only in this way could those aristocratic families who supported them behind the scenes feel at ease.

Besides Sun Ce.

Liu Biao also did not join the Guandong coalition.

For Liu Biao, the disadvantages of joining the coalition far outweighed the benefits.

If the coalition could win against Dong Zhuo, it would be fine.

If they couldn't win, I am afraid Liu Biao would be the first person to welcome Dong Zhuo's revenge!

Therefore, Liu Biao decisively chose neutrality.

And sent heavy troops to guard the border areas.

Beware of the war spreading to the nine counties of Jingxiang.

I have to say.

The ability of this guy Liu Biao to hold one side was really strong.

Under his leadership, the nine counties of Jingxiang were far from the war and lived and worked in peace.

"Linzhi, this time the army is still handed to you to command."

"I will sit in this Chang'an city and wait for the good news."

Old Dong said with a smile.

He had already made up his mind to enter the one-click hosting mode.

Anyway, with his own precious granddaughter's husband, nothing would be chaotic.

For Old Dong's appointment, Gu Yi gladly accepted.

Now.

The entire Dong Zhuo army had determined that Gu Yi was Old Dong's future heir.

Throughout the army, there was no one who was not convinced by him.

Coupled with the fact that Old Dong was old, rushing to the front line to toss was not good for his body.

Directly handing the command to Gu Yi was much easier.
