Chapter 0427: Alliance Leader

The Empress Dowager looked at the inexplicable joys and sorrows, wiping away tears until she took the handkerchief handed over by Lady Xiaomu and wiped it away. Her voice was hoarse, as if forced to laugh, and she asked a second question: "Is it because the mourning family has disappointed us? The ministers have invited us to rebel against Dong, and the mourning family has been entrusted to our loyal ministers. Are you willing to do it

Loyal minister?

Ye Qing found the Empress Dowager on her body... The governor and Yu Fan were angry, but couldn't speak.

The victory over the enemy was something they had prepared for Ye Qing before, forcing him to bind himself to the status of a loyal minister. Now that he has lost his head, he can only follow the crowd vaguely and say, "We will definitely kill the Dong bandits, and Empress Dowager Qing doesn't need to worry

Well... to deal with the great matter of Dong, the loyalty of all families must be united, and there must be a leader. "The Empress Dowager looked down at the large group of men kneeling below, then glanced at the one who was kneeling obediently. Her heart was rarely filled with joy, and her mouth curved into an elegant and charming curve:" I think Liu Shijun is very suitable. What do you think

As soon as the voice of the third question fell, everyone fell silent for a moment, their faces filled with excitement.

Even Ye Qing suppressed her laughter... Isn't that what Yuan Shaogang just forced him to say?

Empress Dowager, when you heard about the resale, you used it as a counter argument. Isn't it a bit too deceitful and unethical?

This mix of sadness and joy, the fusion of truth and falsehood, truly lives up to the title of palace intrigue master. With a combination of punches and punches, the lords of all sizes were basically stunned and could not express any opposition. The current trend emphasizes righteousness, how could these gentlemen violate the great righteousness of kings and ministers?

The governor and Yu Fan had the intention of ignoring this, assessing the comparison of forces between Ye Qing and themselves, feeling that they had long missed the best opportunity to take action.

If we had just met, it would have been better to start fighting directly... "Yu Fan couldn't help but think to himself, feeling that he deserved to take chances after being overturned so many times, but shook his head again:" But at that time, we were both allies, who would have thought that Ye Qing would turn his face on the spot? If it were Ben Chugong, you were doomed to die next, I'm afraid Yuan Shao himself would not believe it... There is a precedent in the history of the Battle of Guandu. Top strategist Tian Feng advised him twice with good words, but Yuan Shao stubbornly refused and instead imprisoned him. Later, when he was defeated and ashamed, he was killed directly

There may be people who think they are more virtuous than Liu Shijun, but they can recommend themselves. "Seeing the calm scene for a moment, the Empress Dowager was even more confident. She knew too well the meaning of political status, glanced at it, and then pressured it again, apparently demanding a result on the spot.

The various feudal lords looked at each other in confusion, fully aware of this Chinese political tradition. What kind of virtuous person is not determined by the size of their fists. The coalition forces have arrived with 560000, with Yuan, Cao, Sun, and Liu each having 100000. The remaining amount is no more than one or two thousand, and there is no chance of losing one or two thousand.

Yuan Shao is dead anyway, and some feudal lords couldn't help but turn their gaze towards Cao Cao... I heard that Cao Cao's army of 300000 in Pengcheng was beaten like a dog by Liu Bei's 9000 army, and the remaining 100000 soldiers raised a bird!

Looking at Sun Jian again, he shook his head secretly... With 100000 soldiers from Jiangnan, expecting these water towns to lead and command large-scale army battles in the north is simply irresponsible to his own life. It's better to find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

After much consideration and reluctance, there was no better candidate, so we had to choose Liu Bei

But this person's royal family identity is so tight that if you push them up, they may not be able to pull them down. Can it be that my 30-40 families really came to support the Han family?

There aren't many of them, are there

Indeed, there were a few old eunuchs who bowed solemnly and said, "The Empress Dowager is virtuous and wise! I am willing to serve Liu as the leader of the alliance

At this beginning, the governor was an old bureaucrat, with a face as dark as charcoal. He had anticipated what would happen next, and his thoughts quickly turned, estimating the losses of various choices... The calculation was overturned by the other party, and the losses were inevitable, but it was just a matter of how much to control them.

Empress Dowager Guo cleared her throat and cast a suggestive glance towards a large group of elite soldiers in red armor not far away. She then spoke to the remaining silent crowd with emphasis: "All the ministers who can respond to the condemnation of Dong Congwen are loyal ministers of our Han family. Why not abandon our past grievances and support each other

Could you please stop mentioning 'loyal ministers', Empress Dowager?

As ambitious lords, some people couldn't bear the pressure of being forced by this woman like this. They knelt down and said, "The Empress Dowager is virtuous and wise! We are willing to serve Liu as the leader of our alliance

With a chain connection, more and more people immediately bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager is virtuous and wise! We are willing to serve Liu Shijun as the leader of the alliance

The governor suddenly stood up and walked away, causing everyone to look at each other in confusion.

Yu Fan did not leave the stage, but remained expressionless and remained silent

Ye Qing looked coldly, knowing that this could no longer affect the overall situation. Many of these small lords came from the four provinces of Hebei, and their military strength was weak, but when they gathered together, their luck was deep and broad. With each one actively expressing recognition, the accumulation of small gains was enough to form a huge imbalance in the balance of power.

Please make Liu the leader of the alliance

Seeing that Yuan Ying was gradually calming down under the constraint of surrendering generals, some close generals and others immediately came out, drinking first. At this point, everyone had already "offered to serve", so they could only say, "Please let Liu Jiejun ascend to the throne as the leader of the alliance

Thanks to Yuan Shao's blessing, all the necessary supplies, props, and ceremonial officials were prepared. At this point, the only change was that the owner was replaced. With the current support, the group went straight to the platform.

This high platform is built on three levels, with flags from all five directions lined up. White spears and yellow swords are erected on top, and military symbols and general seals are used.

Ye Qing straightened his clothes and sword, and bravely ascended, burning incense and bowing again. His alliance said, "Unfortunately, the Han dynasty has lost control of the imperial order. The treacherous minister Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of the provocation and causing harm, has brought calamity to the supreme and oppressed the people. Fearing the loss of the country, he rallied his righteous soldiers and went to the national crisis. If we unite and work together to maintain the integrity of our officials, we will have no two goals. With this alliance with Chongqing, we will sacrifice our lives and leave no lasting legacy. In the land of the emperor and the land of the future, our ancestors will understand and learn from it

After reading the blood oath, everyone bowed together and said, "I have seen the leader

Boom -

With this bow, the red qi swept through the void, and Ye Qing felt his whole body tremble. A great river of qi gathered and flowed back, and the red dragon with one horn and two claws rapidly transformed into four claws, almost one step away from the true dragon.

Ye Qing looked at her dragon aura with a hint of regret.

This is the dragon that has just taken on a sweeping appearance, but unfortunately it is limited by the name of the real territory.

There is still excess qi that is difficult to transform, and all of it has been poured into the Red Sky Sword. If it had been returned before, the Dao method would not have been apparent. At this moment, the red sword light rises into the sky, illuminating the four fields and demonstrating the intention of killing. This strange scene can be seen within a radius of thirty miles.

The lords were stunned and suddenly realized the sword.

At this moment, soldiers from various campsites, big and small, saw the vision of the Sky Red Sword. Combined with recent rumors about the escape of the Luoyang Red Sky Sword, the name of the Sky Red Sword was about to be announced, and various noises were heard.

Even in the direction of Hulao Pass, there was a commotion, accompanied by fear and trembling.

Ye Qing slowly stood up, walked to a high place on the altar, lifted the Chixiao Sword even higher, and faced the continuous lantern camp in the darkness of all directions, welcoming a wider cheer

Gradually, these cheers turned into a continuous and orderly mountain shout: "Long live the Great Han, long live, long live

Although it was just the longevity of the Great Han, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but be confused - this situation was almost like a coronation ceremony!

The sword light disappeared, and Ye Qing stepped down from the ceremonial earth platform. His eyes were humble and there was no need to maintain his dignity at all times. There was no need to pretend to be like this now.

In fact, by cutting down Yuan Shao, annexing his troops, imprisoning him and refusing to accept it, there was a great reason for righteousness, which directly caused the expansion of his power. Although it was difficult to digest for a while, ordinary small lords were already the most familiar with the wind and rudder, and no one dared to compete for the position of alliance leader anymore.

Although the connection between the governor and Yu Fan seemed to have become closer, Ye Qing saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, but remained silent.

These two people acted too alert on the spot. On the one hand, they were alert and prepared, and on the other hand, if there was no good reason, it was not advisable to cause another setback to avoid panic among the nobles.

The battlefield is like a game, and with the participation of people on the ground to stir up trouble, it has long been ineffective in history, so all that remains is to speak with fists.

The proclamation I initiated, this time the Anti Dong Alliance is following my own rules

Ye Qing has always been clear that he will never give up step by step in order to maintain the righteousness of the united front - the position of the alliance leader is not something that can be easily relinquished. Once it is established, there is a kind of constraint from the main officials. Learning from Kong Rong to give up Li in the competition among the warlords is a way to seek abuse, and giving up power to second place when power is first. As a strong official, how can a weak leader live in peace?

In this situation, letting go is like seeking death. Not to mention openly using it as cannon fodder, it's not uncommon to sell it out directly. I don't even know when my elder brother chopped it off from behind.

All things considered, no matter how lovely Yuan Benchu is, please go to hell for the sake of the Three Prosperous Han Dynasty!

And the Chixiao Sword gives itself a heavy bargaining chip!

I have been suppressing and not actively promoting myself, just to showcase it on the big stage in the most shocking way, and also to not waste the one-time inspiring effect on the military spirit when it first appeared!

What better way to demonstrate the mandate and boost morale than when the 500000 strong coalition army fought against Dong and the return of Chixiao Tianming?

For a moment, even Ye Qing was somewhat intoxicated by the boiling qi of the Han dynasty, saying, 'Who else should I leave behind?'.

As long as we occupy Luoyang, although we cannot immediately declare ourselves emperor, we can have the Empress Dowager oversee the country, and as a Duke of our country, we only need to wait for half a year to declare ourselves king

Hulao Pass

Three Yin God Immortals jumped off their horses, presented documents, and received hospitality from relevant personnel. They welcomed a residence and entered. However, they saw that the courtyard was filled with pine trees, towering high and thick, and could be embraced, which was very quiet. They were satisfied and knew that having this residence here was already quite good.

The three real people have all come from afar, hard work. "Seeing that the three of them were still satisfied, Yi Guan smiled with a smile and said," Hulao Pass is a military pass, so we can only make do with it this way. Tomorrow is late, and the general will have to host a banquet to entertain them

Before they could finish speaking, the three real people who were originally smiling suddenly looked into the distance, and their faces changed dramatically: "No, this is almost the end of the real dragon

We cannot wait for his divine mandate to bless us, we must take action immediately

We must kill this son tonight

After saying these words, the welcoming official was stunned. A real person sneered, reached out and flicked, only to hear a "pu" sound, followed by a scream. The person's chest pierced and he fell out.

He casually killed an official, and the three real people were indifferent, but their expressions were serious as they looked towards the distance.
