Chapter 253

"Therefore, my lord 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 of Yuan Shao sending him here.

Unlike other warlords.

Liu Bei, this newly risen warlord, did not have any deep contradictions with other Guandong warlords.

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

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

Therefore, whether it was for Liu Bei to enhance his own reputation or to restore the Han dynasty.

He 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, it was only beneficial and harmless.

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 thief Dong Zhuo!"

"As long as the leader gives an order, I will lead the Huainan soldiers to meet!"

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

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

But the Huainan aristocratic families have 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 surely become one of the main forces of the coalition.

……

Meanwhile.

Kong Rong and Zhang Yang, two warlords with relatively weak strength used to make up the numbers, also successively agreed to Yuan Shao's alliance invitation.

All parties actively entered a state of preparation for war.

Preparing to meet again in Suanzao.

The news spread like wildfire.

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

Upon learning the news, Dong Zhuo immediately called Li Ru and Gu Yi to discuss matters.

After taking their seats, Li Ru took the lead and said:

"This time, the meeting 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 less than before."

"But the strength of each of them has been correspondingly improved."

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

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

Just as he had expected before.

Liu Bei really ran to Huainan to develop.

And correspondingly.

The strength of Yuan Shu's faction, compared to the last meeting, not only did not improve but also declined.

After all.

Sun Ce's combat power was very fierce.

If it weren't for the Yuzhou aristocratic group and the Nanyang aristocratic group acting as milk mothers to support him, I'm afraid Yuan Shu would have already fled in defeat.

"This group of damn Guandong rebels."

"Old man 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 bit angry.

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

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

"My lord, don't worry."

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

"But no matter how loud their banner is, they can't cover up the ulterior motives in their hearts."

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

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

A flash of fierce light flashed in Gu Yi's eyes.

For the matter that the Guandong warlords might form a coalition again, he had already had a prediction not long ago.

Since the Guandong warlords still dared to take the initiative to attack, might as well let them feel the pain well.

Although, the blood-returning ability of that group of milk mothers in the Guandong aristocratic group is very strong.

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 is confident that he will severely damage the Guandong coalition and make the situation in Guandong have a new transformation on the original basis!

Of course.

Not all Guandong warlords joined the coalition.

For example, Sun Ce.

Now he is nominally a little brother subordinate to Dong Zhuo.

This butcher knife has already gone 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 is not broken, it is impossible to invite such a "big villain" as Sun Ce to join the coalition.

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

Only in this way can those aristocratic families who support them behind the scenes be at ease.

Besides Sun Ce.

Liu Biao did not join the Guandong coalition either.

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

If the coalition can defeat Dong Zhuo, it's fine.

If they can't defeat him, I'm afraid Liu Biao will 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 commanderies of Jingxiang.

Have to say.

The ability of this fellow Liu Biao to hold one side is really strong.

Under his leadership, the nine commanderies of Jingxiang are far from the war and live and work in peace and contentment.

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

"Old man sits in this Chang'an City, waiting for 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 precious granddaughter's husband, nothing can be chaotic.

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

Now.

The entire Dong Zhuo army has determined that Gu Yi is Old Dong's future heir.

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

Coupled with Old Dong's old age, rushing to the front line to toss is not good for his body.

Directly handing the command to Gu Yi is much easier.
