Three Kingdoms: I am the Holy Son of the Yellow Turbans, my father is a wise and good teacher

Chapter 217



After leaving the Suanzao camp, Cheng Yu turned his eyes and said, "My king, do you want to meet Yuan Benchu?"

Zhang Fu glanced at Cheng Yu's eyes, which was definitely not as simple as a simple meeting.

He knew that this old fox must be up to something again, but he didn't point it out. He just smiled and said, "Forget it, there will still be a chance later. I still have to wait for Yuan Shao and Liu Chong to compete for the position of leader. If I hit Yuan Shao now, it will be meaningless!"

Zhang Fu knew very well that although Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in history, his power and influence could not be underestimated.

In addition, he had a powerful competitor-Liu Chong, the governor of Yangzhou.

Liu Chong was a legitimate relative of the Han Dynasty. In terms of status, he was still above Yuan Shao, but his reputation was slightly inferior.

Therefore, in this competition for the leader of the Anti-Dong Alliance, the two were evenly matched, and what Zhang Fu had to do was to wait for the final result.

Cheng Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other and agreed: "Your Majesty is wise!" They knew Zhang Fu's thoughts and understood that the alliance army was not very solid.

So if Yuan Shao was really hit now, it would be a bit troublesome to let Liu Chong become the leader of the alliance, after all, Liu Chong was devoted to the Han Dynasty.

Unlike Yuan Shao, who came for selfish reasons, the difference between the two people who would be the leader was still very obvious.

Just the day after Zhang Fu left, Liu Chong and Sun Ce hurried to the camp.

However, unexpectedly, Yuan Shao also led his army to the Suanzao camp that afternoon.

All this was just as Zhang Fu expected. On the first day, a fierce internal struggle broke out to compete for the throne of the leader.

Due to Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction with Yuan Shao, the competition was extremely fierce. The two sides were evenly matched and no one could gain a clear advantage.

Finally, Cao Cao stood up and said that as the leader of the alliance, he must not only have status and reputation, but also have certain strength.

Therefore, Yuan Shao and Liu Chong decided to send three generals to compete, and the winner would be decided by a best-of-three match. The winner would become the leader of the alliance, and the loser would be the deputy leader.

Yuan Shao sent his generals Han Meng, Jiang Qi and Chunyu Qiong, who were all elites in Yuan Shao's army.

Liu Chong sent his capable generals Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and Yu Mi, who also had excellent combat capabilities.

After a fierce competition, the final result was that Liu Chong lost three games in a row. In desperation, he could only accept the position of deputy leader.

Although Liu Chong really lost to Yuan Shao, he was definitely not convinced in his heart.

He knew that these children of noble families did not really want to contribute, and only by ascending to the position of leader could he lead the alliance to truly kill Dong Zhuo.

However, because he had been in Yangzhou for too short a time, he had no available generals, which led to the current situation.

In the end, the situation evolved into a camp formed by Yuan Shao, Yuan Yi, Yuan Shu, Qiao Mao, Zhang Chao and Tao Qian.

Liu Chong, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, and Sun Ce formed another camp.

Cao Cao and Zang Ba chose to remain neutral. Cao Cao only wanted to support the Han Dynasty and defeat Dong Zhuo, while Zang Ba was purely for reputation, so they had no intention of joining these two small groups.

......

Zhang Fu couldn't help laughing when listening to Guo Jia's report, thinking to himself: "It hasn't even started yet, and it has already been divided into two camps. Even if there are 200,000 coalition troops, what's the use? It's still just a pile of loose sand."

He knew very well that only a few people in Liu Chong's camp and Cao Cao were really concerned about the Han Dynasty. The rest were obviously just showing their faces and reputation.

After Guo Jia finished his report, he made a simple summary: "This battle has not even started, and it has already shown signs of defeat!" He believed that there was no need for his side to take action, and the coalition army would definitely be defeated, and there was no way to defeat Dong Zhuo unless a miracle happened.

Zhang Fu nodded slightly to show his agreement, but then reminded: "However, Sun Ce must be taken seriously. He is known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong, and his martial arts are probably even better than his father Sun Jian, so he should not be underestimated."

"As for the other princes, the only one worth paying attention to is Cao Cao. Compared with these two, the others are indeed much inferior." Zhang Fu continued, revealing his vigilance against Sun Ce and Cao Cao in his tone.

He understood that although most of the princes were a mob, Sun Ce and Cao Cao were the best among them, and their existence might bring variables to the war situation.

Therefore, Zhang Fu decided to pay close attention to their movements and be prepared to deal with them.

This time, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were not there, and Zhang Fu felt that the strongest one might be Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the moment, and might not be as good as Xiahou Dun. Of course, it was just a guess.

If we only look at the title, the current Sun Ce isSun Ce is already very powerful, after all, there is the hatred of his father's murder.

"Yes, my king!" Guo Jia immediately accepted the order, although he was puzzled. From the intelligence collected by the bad people, it can be seen that Sun Ce only defeated some pirates with the assistance of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.

As for the title of Jiangdong Little Overlord, in Guo Jia's opinion, it should be because there are no fierce generals in Yangzhou. If Sun Ce is allowed to develop in Hebei, let alone Little Overlord, it is a problem whether he can stand out.

"Okay, march at full speed. After a few days of adjustment in Bingzhou, we can start planning!" Zhang Fu said and rushed out directly.

The three thousand Bai Li soldiers behind him also followed.

......

The anti-Dong alliance army has been lingering in Suanzao for three days, and finally took action. Yuan Shao could not withstand the pressure from Cao Cao and Liu Chong, and chose to march directly to Sishui Pass.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo also learned the news at the first time and immediately sent his general Hua Xiong to guard Sishui Pass.

At this time, Hua Xiong had not set off yet. Dong Zhuo had already beheaded all the officials of Runan Yuan family in Luoyang, including Yuan Wei, who was one of the three highest officials, under the advice of Li Ru.

Not only that, even the disciples of Runan Yuan family did not let anyone escape. This was all checked by Li Ru early on, so no one was killed by mistake and no one was alive.

For a time, the whole Luoyang became panic-stricken, and even more than half of the ministers who originally disliked Dong Zhuo were scared and chose to please Dong Zhuo.

Only a few people such as Cai Yong still stood firm, and they were still serving as officials for the young emperor Liu Xie.

Zhang Fu, who had just arrived in Bingzhou, also received the news, so he immediately arranged for Yue Fei to attack Liangzhou. As for the three auxiliary lands, after occupying Liangzhou, it was just a matter of easy access.

Of course, if Dong Zhuo evacuated Luoyang in advance and prepared to flee to Chang'an, Zhang Fu would not mind dividing his troops to capture the three auxiliary areas and keep Dong Zhuo outside Hangu Pass.
