Although Ye Zhao's joining is not welcome to people like Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Kong Yichang, but it is a shot of a heart-warming shot for the soldiers under these people.

After all, Ye Zhao's past achievements have never been defeated and his prestige is enough. With Ye Zhao joining, it will undoubtedly give the soldiers of the coalition more confidence.

On the same day, Li Min set up camp and hurriedly led his troops to Yingchuan. In the next few days, it was calm. One after another, there were Beihai Prefect Kong Rong, Xuzhou Prefect Tao Qian, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, and Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi arrived. The coalition troops had more than 100,000, and the momentum was growing.

However, Kong Rong was fine. He had an old age with Cai Yong and was like Cai Yong. He was a bit pedantic and thoughtless. Although he was not kind to Ye Zhao, he never showed any malicious intentions. When he saw him, he would say hello and greet him a few words.

The other few people were not so kind. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, ignored it directly. The prefect of Shanyang Yuan Yi and the prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao were all from the Yuan family and had no good expression on Ye Zhao. It was just that Ye Zhao had shown his strength before, and he did not dare to come and provoke him.

Ye Zhao didn't care. These people were not the partners he chose to make friends. Apart from occasionally chatting with Kong Rong and Cao Cao every day, he spent most of his time practicing troops.

All the elite soldiers around him were transferred away, and those who were left behind were new troops and county soldiers who had not received much training. They must be of great use in the future and practice diligently, and their lives will be free.

After more than ten days, Li Min finally arrived in Yingchuan.

Before leaving, he specially invited Cao Cao to ask how to defend Yingchuan. Cao Cao also answered seriously that if you want to enter Yingchuan from Xuanyuan Pass, you must go to Yangdi. Therefore, Li Min only needs to deploy heavy troops in the Yangdi area. Even if Dong Zhuo really sends troops to attack, he will have no choice but to do anything to him. Therefore, after Li Min crossed the river, he bypassed Xingyang, Ao Cang, and went straight to Yangdi. In order to save trouble, he did not go to Yingchuan, but went directly to Meishan, preparing to go to Xuanyuan Pass and go directly to Yangdi, which would save at least two days of journey.

But Li Min never dreamed that his itinerary was targeted by Dong Zhuo's people just after crossing the river.

I rushed day and night, and I was about to pass Meishan, but I saw a man who was already blocking the front. Judging from the banner, it turned out to be the soldiers of Xiliang!

Seeing this, Li Min was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Why is the Xiliang Army here?"

But when he saw a general running out of the Xiliang army, he pointed the sword in his hand and said, "I am Huaxiong in Xiliang, and the thief will not die yet!"

Li Min gritted his teeth. Although he didn't know why the Xiliang Army stopped him here, he couldn't run away. Most of the troops under Hua Xiong were cavalry. Even if he didn't understand military tactics, he knew that these two legs could not run away with four legs. He gritted his teeth and said, "Soldiers, rush for me!"

Looking at the Yingchuan soldiers rushing towards him, Hua Xiong grinned. This merit was too easy!

When the infantry faced the cavalry, they didn't say that they would quickly find a favorable terrain to defend themselves, but instead wanted to hedge the cavalry! Moreover, the formation was scattered and a group of people rushed up, with no formation at all.

If the princes of Guandong were so incompetent, no matter how many enemies there were in this battle, he would have the confidence to destroy it.

"My boys, kill me~" Hua Xiong held up his long sword and roared and took the lead in killing Li Min.

More than a thousand Western Liang cavalry gathered into a huge cavalry formation, like the faint waves of hell, surging with the power to crush everything. The momentum that seemed to make the heaven and earth begin to tremble, causing the Yingchuan soldiers rushing ahead to change their faces. Before they reached halfway, someone began to turn around and run away.

Just like a sharp blade stabbed into half of the tofu, the Yingchuan soldiers were completely defeated just by a charge. Next, they were a one-sided battle to chase and annihilate. Li Min never dreamed that even though he had many people, why was he defeated so simply...

Five days later, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yang, Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Changsha Prefect Sun Jian, and Xihe Prefect Cui Jun arrived in the sour jujube one after another. The scale of the coalition forces gradually formed. The troops in each town alone had nearly 400,000.

Yuan Shao discussed with Cao Cao and summoned a group of princes to discuss the choice of the leader. The next morning, seventeen princes promoted to the tent to discuss matters, and Yuan Shao was surrounded by stars and moons. In contrast, although Ye Zhao had the highest status here, he was quite deserted around him, and only Cao Cao accompanied him.

"Xu Ming, long time no see." Yuan Shao sat opposite Ye Zhao, surrounded by everyone, as if he had just discovered Ye Zhao's existence, and bowed and smiled.

The position of leader of the alliance has not yet been decided, and the position of general is temporarily suspended. Ye Zhao and Yuan Shao separate the position of general, followed by Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

"It's indeed a long time no see." Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Benchu ​​is very energetic."

Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao and suddenly said, "I just don't know why Xiuming killed Wang Kuang. Although Gong Jie had some misunderstandings with Xiuming in the past, he would not be guilty of death, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became cold in the tent. Many princes who had been dissatisfied with Ye Zhao looked at Ye Zhao with a bad expression.

"Don't call me too intimately." Ye Zhao leaned on the back of Hu Biao's chair, looked up at Yuan Shao and said, "Benchu, what is your identity? How dare you call me a word?"

"I'm not going to talk to Xiuming now..." Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao tightly, trying to pull the topic back, but was interrupted by Ye Zhao.

"If you want to call Yehou or general, the four generations and three masters of the Yuan family, why don't you teach people etiquette and noble?" Ye Zhao directly interrupted Yuan Shao and frowned and said, "I am the same minister as your uncle. If he calls me a letter, it would be reasonable. But Yuan Shao, you are just a county prefect. At that time, your uncle knelt in front of me and pleaded for you, so I pity him for his old age and recommended you as the prefect of Bohai. When you come today, you will not say thank you, but you keep calling me a letter. I wish you a word for it. I am bluntly speaking, is the style of the Yuan family too casual?"

"Shao... thanked Ye Hou for his life." Yuan Shao's face became ugly, and he bowed to Ye Zhao with a gloomy face.

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter. Even if the old tutor kneels in front of me and begs hard, you and I have some affection in the past. Dong Zhuo wants you to harm you, how can I ignore it?" Ye Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and smiled.

Yuan Shao's cheeks twitched twice. Yuan Shao didn't know how Yuan Wei helped him get the prefect of Bohai, but with Yuan Shao's understanding of Yuan Wei, it was impossible for him to kneel on the ground and beg Ye Zhao. In Luoyang City, Ye Zhao was not the only one who could cause this matter. But the problem was that no one was present in the big tent at that time, except Ye Zhao, and nothing else was there at that time.

"Although Ye Hou has a life of life and I, Gong Jie is also my close friend. Now I die at the hands of Ye Hou for no reason. I want to get this justice back for him." Yuan Shao took a deep breath and brought the topic back again.

"Who am I going to report to Benchu?" Ye Zhao crossed his hands and folded them on his chest, looked at Yuan Shao with a smile, and said calmly.

Yuan Shao suddenly reacted and realized that he had been talking to Ye Zhao. If he came to start a fight, Ye Zhao would have to deal with it. But Ye Zhao was the first to take the lead and set the high status of both sides. When he asked again, he would be a little weak in his momentum and also be suspected of being the best.

If it were others, Yuan Shao could still refute the wrong position, but Ye Zhao's status was decided during the Liu Hong period. The title of General Wei and Marquis of Ningxiang was also obtained during the period of He Jin's rule, not by Dong Zhuo. He was also present at that time. He chose to abide by the situation. At this moment, he wanted to question Ye Zhao again, and the taste changed suddenly.

But he had already said this, Yuan Shao didn't want to retreat and gritted his teeth and said, "Although Shao's position is not as noble as Ye Hou, Wang Kuang is also the prefect of Hanoi. The imperial court appointed an official. Even if Ye Hou is in a high position and powerful position, he has no right to deal with him!"

"Wrong!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Where did the position of Wang Kuang come from?"

"this……"

"It was the title of Dong's thief!" Ye Zhao said with a sigh: "As the princes gathered here today, we were originally to fight against Dong Zhuo's rebel thief, but Benchu ​​wanted to speak for the ministers of Dong's thief, which made me a little puzzled. What do you mean by Benchu? Do you still do this to ask Dong? If you don't do it, then you will disperse and save us waste time here."

"Ye Hou's words are a bit unreasonable!" A middle-aged man next to Yuan Shao frowned and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Everyone here, how many people are not appointed by the thief Dong. If Ye Hou said, should everyone here be killed?"

The speaker is Zang Hong, the Gongcao of Guangling, and is known as a righteous man.

"That's different. Everyone here is the one who responded to the imperial edict to fight against the thief. However, Wang Kuang had not responded to the imperial edict. What do I think?" Ye Zhao said sneered: "Besides, this man intended to murder me shortly after I returned to Hanoi, which is quite suspicious!"

"If you want evidence, I have two letters here about the secret contact between the prince and the thief. Do you want to see it?" Ye Zhao said, taking out two letters from his arms and looking at everyone.

"Mr. Ye, I was just angry!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse and wrong, Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ye Zhao and smiled: "Today we gather here, for the sake of justice. Let's give up the grudges in the past. Now the princes gather here. It is often said that the snake cannot do without a head. Although we are powerful, there is no one to command it. It is like a piece of dispersed sand. Today, I hope to choose the leader of the alliance from you, order the heroes to kill the traitors together!"

Yuan Shao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his chest. He wanted to take the lead and suppress Ye Zhao's arrogance. Only in this way can he naturally take the position of leader. Who knew that the pioneer could not take the lead, but was ridiculed by Ye Zhao. He couldn't help but feel depressed. Seeing Cao Cao coming out to rescue him, he took the opportunity to step down. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a small school rushing towards him outside the door.

"Report~"

The small school was under Cao Cao's command. After coming in, he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, something happened!"

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this and said to everyone: "You guys wait a moment, come when you go."

"What a shameful thing? I have to say it behind your back?" Yuan Shu glanced at Cao Cao lazily and smiled.

"Some military affairs." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Since it is military affairs, why not talk about it? Shu heard that Meng De's ability to govern the army is not inferior to Ye Hou." Yuan Shu glanced at Ye Zhao, but did not dare to challenge Ye Zhao.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, nodded to the little school and said, "Come on."

"Here!" the young school bowed and said, "Just just now, Yingchuan Prefect Li Min was plotted against by Dong's general Hua Xiong at the foot of Meishan, and was defeated by Meishan."

"What about Li Min!" Kong Qi frowned. He was the governor of Yuzhou. Li Min counted as his subordinate.

"Previous Prefect Li..." The little school glanced at everyone, swallowed and said, "Previous Prefect Li was captured alive by Hua Xiong and cooked..."

"The barbarians are so brave!" After hearing this, the princes changed their faces one after another. It would be fine if they killed people, but Hua Xiong directly asked someone to cook food. Such things were absolutely cruel to the princes of the Central Plains who rarely experienced wars, not to mention that Li Min was also a famous scholar in Yingchuan.

On the other hand, Ye Zhao and Gongsun Zan, the veterans who had been through the battle for a long time, had no expression. They just listened to stories. They had seen many such things.
