PS: Thank you to Holy Knight for your precious monthly votes.
A few days after the drinking session, the Guandong dukes all arrived and set up camp, stretching for two hundred miles. As the host, Cao Cao slaughtered cows and horses, cooked sheep and chicken, and met with the dukes to discuss the strategy.
At this time, the governor of Henei County, the King of Taishan County, Kuang Wang said, "Today we are righteous and must appoint an alliance leader. Everyone listen to the rules and then advance."
Hearing this, the dukes looked at each other, their eyes flashing and their minds spinning.
Cao Cao saw the opportunity and immediately said, "Yuan Benchu is a descendant of the Han Dynasty's famous prime minister. He can be the alliance leader."
Yuan Shao showed a proud expression and pretended to be modest, "Everyone here is a hero. How can I order the dukes around? It's better if you choose wisely. "
Those who knew what was going on quickly tried to persuade him. The other dukes also knew that this was the best choice and tried to persuade him, "It has to be Benchu!"
After three times, Yuan Shao agreed.
However, no one noticed that Yuan Shu, who was sitting on the left of the tent, had a gloomy expression and was full of jealousy.
Why do you think? The reason was because of their birth. Yuan Shao was born of a concubine and was adopted by Yuan Cheng's family. Yuan Shu was the son of a legitimate wife. In ancient times, there was a clear distinction between legitimate wife and concubine. However, Yuan Shao was deeply loved by Yuan Feng and Yuan Ke, especially Yuan Shu. Therefore, Yuan Shu secretly hated him and was separated from him since childhood.
Now that he saw that everyone would rather promote a concubine's son than talk about him, he secretly hated him even more. It was because of this that all kinds of things happened later.
Let's not talk about these things for now. On the second day, the dukes ordered the soldiers to build a three-tiered altar and put up five flags around it. On top of the altar, there was a white banner and a yellow battle axe. Yuan Shao was forced to go on the altar and worship the heavens.
Yuan Shao tidied his clothes and sword and went up, burning incense and worshipping again. He said, "The Han Dynasty is unfortunate. The imperial principles are lost. The traitorous minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the provocation and caused trouble to the emperor, oppressing the common people. Yuan Shao and others feared the fall of the country and gathered the volunteers to help the country. Everyone in our alliance is of one heart and strength. As a result, I will have no second thoughts. With such an alliance, we will lose our lives and have no descendants. The Empress of Heaven, Empress of Earth, and the bright spirits of the ancestors are all examples! "
After saying that. Yuan Shao grabbed the brush and cut his palm. He smeared the blood into the wine and drank it.
Hearing his generous words, the surrounding vassals all shed tears and mucus.
"… At this time, they're still loyal subjects." Sei Itō glanced at the vassals around him and thought to himself, "It's a pity that some of them won't be loyal for long. Forget it after a year … "
After spitting the blood, Yuan Shao stepped down from the altar and returned to the big tent with the other dukes. They sat down on both sides of the tent according to their nobility and age, and drank to their heart's content.
After a few rounds, Cao Cao suddenly said, "Since we have decided on an alliance leader today, everyone should listen to orders and help the country together. Don't fuss over who is stronger or weaker. "
Yuan Shao immediately said, "Shao may not be talented, but since I've been elected as the leader of the alliance, I'll be rewarded for my contributions and punished for my crimes. The country has constant punishments, and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by it and not violate it. "
Everyone agreed solemnly.
Next. Yuan Shaofu continued, "My younger brother Yuan Shu is in charge of the army provisions, so he is able to deal with all the military camps without any shortage. Moreover, one person must be the vanguard to challenge Si Shui Pass. The rest of the people occupied important positions. Let's wait for them. "
As he said that, Changsha Governor Sun Jian stood up and cupped his fists, "I am willing to be the vanguard."
Yuan Shao was delighted and praised, "Wen Tai is brave, you can take up this position."
Immediately Sun Jian withdrew from the banquet, he ordered the troops to pull out the stronghold, and led his troops and horses to charge toward Si Shui Pass.
Sei Itō, who watched Sun Jian leave, smiled and retracted his gaze.
"Xicheng, why are you smiling?" At the same time, Cao Cao saw Sei Itō's smile and asked softly.
"This person doesn't have long to live." Sei Itō replied mysteriously.
Following which, he didn't bother about Cao Cao, whose eyes were shining, and left the tent together with the other dukes. That afternoon, each division led their troops and charged toward the various important positions.
Amongst which, Yuan Shao, Hanoi Governor Wang Kuang, and Han Fu stayed in Ye to provide the army provisions. Yuzhou Governor Kong Qiong was stationed in Yingchuan, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Chenliu Governor Zhang Miao, Guangling Governor Zhang Chao, Dong Prefecture Governor Qiao Mao, Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi, Jibei Minister Bao Xin and Cao Cao were stationed in Suanzao, while Rear General Yuan Shu was stationed in Luyang.
As a branch with fewer people, Ito Sei naturally followed his' acquaintance 'Cao Cao to the Sour Jujube.
Suanzao, known as Suanzao County, was 15 miles north of Henan Yanjin County.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who was in Luoyang, found out about the situation outside the pass through his spies. He was shocked and quickly summoned his troops to the hall for a meeting.
At that moment, Lu Bu walked up and said, "Father, don't worry. The dukes outside the pass are like grass; I'm willing to behead all of them and hang them at the gate. "
Dong Zhuo was delighted when he heard that, "With Fengxian, I have nothing to worry about."
However, before his words disappeared, someone behind Lu Bu walked up and said, "Why use a butcher's knife to cut a chicken? There's no need for Wen Hou to head over. I behead all of you as easily as taking something out of my pocket! "
Dong Zhuo turned to look at the person who spoke.
This person was nine feet tall, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist. He had the head of a leopard and the arms of an ape. It was none other than Huaxiong from Guanxi!
Dong Zhuo was delighted and conferred Huaxiong the title of Valiant Cavalry Commandant. He led fifty thousand soldiers to meet the enemy at the pass with Li Su, Hu Zhen, and Zhao Cen.
At this moment, in Sei Itō's tent.
"Huaxiong, huh …" Sei Itō, who had smashed a holographic screen that didn't belong to this era, muttered to himself. Then, he shouted, "Men!"
"This general is here," at this moment, several burly men wearing bright armor entered the tent, cupping their fists and saluting.
"Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin." Sei Itō's gaze swept across the generals and stopped on three of them.
"This general is here." The three stepped forward and replied.
"The three of you, immediately pick 50 men and horses and rush to Si Shui Pass. Seize the opportunity and capture that Hua Xiong for me." Ito Sei ordered.
"Yes." The three obeyed.
"In addition, there's no need to hide. Use whatever moves you have," Sei Itō ordered after a pause.
"Yes." The three were delighted and hurriedly replied.
"I, Old Cheng, have long wanted to meet these famous people of the Three Kingdoms. Now, I finally have the chance." After getting down to business, the bearded Cheng Yaojin, who looked more like a gigolo than the rumors said, chuckled strangely.
His words clearly represented the thoughts of the others.
"Quickly go." Sei Itō smiled and waved his hand.
The three cupped their fists and immediately left the tent. They led their men and left Suanzao in the night. And just like them. There was also Bao Zhong, who was the first to be killed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Before long, Bao Zhong and his three thousand infantry soldiers arrived at the pass.
"I am Bao Zhong of the Northern Plains. Who dares to come and fight me?" Bao Zhong shouted from the Zhuma Pass.
"A nameless brute dares to challenge me? Watch me kill you! "A person on the pass shouted.
A moment later, the door was opened and five hundred elite cavalrymen rushed out and arrived at the gate.
"Bao Zhong, come and die!" A person rode out. He shouted from the middle of the field.
This person was nine feet tall, with a tiger's body and a wolf's waist. He had the head of a leopard and the arms of an ape. He wore a set of bright armor and held a long blade. His killing intent was awe-inspiring. It was none other than Hua Xiong who had rushed to the pass in the night.
Seeing this person, Bao Zhong's heart sank. His momentum was taken away, and he retreated towards the army formation behind him.
"Thief general, don't run!" Hua Xiong shouted and chased after Bao Zhong.
Behind him, the horses galloped and the five hundred elite cavalry followed. Not long after. They met Bao Zhong's troops. Then, with a blood-curdling scream, Bao Zhong's headless body immediately fell to the ground, and was trampled into meat paste by the horses.
Seeing Bao Zhong die, the morale of the remaining soldiers dissipated. They did not have the strength to resist and were quickly killed by the five hundred elite cavalry.
"Coward." Cheng Yaojin, who was watching the battle from Yu An Lin's side, spat out a mouthful of saliva and cursed.
"As expected from Hua Xiong. Very heroic. "Shan Xiong Xin praised.
"Brothers, get on your horses." However, despite his praise, Shan Xiongxin did not forget his mission. He immediately waved his hand and called out, carrying the wolf fang sledgehammer as he mounted his horse.
"Brothers, charge!" When everyone was on their horses, Shan Xiong Xin immediately shouted and charged towards Hua Xiong's troops who were slowly letting down their guard.
In an instant. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the night sky.
"Enemy attack!" Hua Xiong heard the sound of the horse hooves and shouted.
As for the Xiliang cavalry, they were worthy of being the famous cavalry of the Han Dynasty. Almost immediately, their momentum changed. Their horses galloped in a large arc towards the cavalry led by Shan Xiongxin, Cheng Yaojin, and Qin Qiong.
"Open the armor!" Qin Qiong shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking. Rays of bright light instantly bloomed from the armor of the fifty cavalrymen. They merged with each other and formed a huge sun-like light that enveloped all the cavalrymen.
This was the defensive technique of the Great Hua Nation's military armor that was gradually being transformed into the Celestial Dynasty.
Seeing this, Hua Xiong's expression changed slightly. His heart was heavy. "Could it be another demon army?!"
However, at this time, it was too late even if Hua Xiong wanted to retreat. This was because the two armies had already collided with each other. In an instant, there was a loud "boom". The Xiliang cavalry looked like they were hit by a speeding truck. They were thrown to the side along with their horses, creating a path for the enemy to pass through.
Hua Xiong's heart sank. He did not dare to hesitate and immediately turned his horse around and galloped back into the pass.
"Where do you think you're going?"
At this moment, Shan Xiong Xin shouted and urged his horse to rush out of the formation. His body was surrounded by clouds, and the horse looked like it was galloping through the clouds. It chased after Hua Xiong at an extraordinary speed.
The warhorse's buff technique — Acceleration!
With the buff of the formation on the four hooves, Shan Xiong Xin rushed to Hua Xiong's side in a short while.
At this time, Hua Xiong who knew that he could not run away made up his mind. He turned around and swung his sword at Shan Xiong Xin with a blazing red light.
"Good timing!"
Shan Xiongxin had already learned from Ito Sei that the generals of the Three Kingdoms of this era had amazing karma and could erupt with exaggerated force for a long time. Therefore, he was not surprised. He shouted excitedly and waved his hammer to meet the broadsword.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew, and a thunderous sound of metal clashing rang in their ears.
"Nice!"
Shan Xiong Xin shouted happily. He raised his hand and knocked Hua Xiong's sword away. He then swung his hammer at Hua Xiong's back again. Hua Xiong lowered his body and dodged Shan Xiong Xin's wolf fang hammer by a hair's breadth.
Then, Hua Xiong stood up and swung his hand at Shan Xiong Xin. Shan Xiong Xin raised his hand and blocked the blade.
"Clang!"
Hua Xiong put more strength into his arm and forced the blade towards Shan Xiong Xin's neck. Shan Xiong Xin raised his hand and did not let the blade fall. As a result, the two of them were competing in strength.
But soon, Shan Xiongxin rolled his eyes and suddenly withdrew his hand, letting the blade fall. Then, just as the blade was about to cut into his body, he abruptly used his strength again and knocked away Hwa Xiong's blade, who was unable to defend himself in time. Then, the long hammer fell to the ground and he kicked Hwa Xiong's chest.
Immediately, there was a muffled bang. Hua Xiong's chest felt tight and he immediately fell off his horse.
Shan Xiong Xin jumped off his warhorse and strode to the pale-faced Hua Xiong and kicked his head.
"Bang!"
As expected, a bloody tooth was spat out from Hua Xiong's mouth.
Then, Shan Xiong Xin kicked Hua Xiong's body and bent down to catch Hua Xiong. He pulled out the leather rope from his waist and tied Hua Xiong up.
Only then did Shan Xiong Xin stand up and look at the pass.
The soldiers of Sishui Pass all revealed looks of panic. They raised their longbows and pointed downwards, afraid that this unknown army would attack the pass.
"Heh." Shan Xiong Xin chuckled and threw Hua Xiong onto his horse. Then, he mounted his horse and turned it around to look at the rest of the army.
During the short period of time when he captured Shan Xiongxin, the nearly invulnerable cavalry had already smashed the five hundred Xiliang cavalrymen into pieces. Every single one of them was lying on the ground with their hands covering their stomachs, letting out painful cries.
"Brothers, retreat." Shan Xiong Xin urged his horse back to the army and loudly said.
Then, the horse hooves flew into the air, and the entire group of horses disappeared from Si Shui Pass just like how they came.
Not long after they left, Sun Jian led his four generals, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao, to Si Shui Pass. Left with no choice, Hua Xiong's deputy general Hu Zhen went down the pass to fight. However, he was stabbed in the throat by Cheng Pu and died on the spot.
Sun Jian was overjoyed and led his army to attack the pass. In the end, he was hit by flying stones and arrows. Only then did he lead his army back to Liangdong. He ordered his men to report the victory to Yuan Shu and bring him provisions. However, Yuan Shu was afraid that he would lead the wolf to the tiger, so he refused to give him provisions. This led to a rebellion in Sun Jian's army. Spies spread the news to the pass, causing Li Su and Zhao Cen to attack in the night. Unfortunately, without Hua Xiong and the other brave generals, their plan became a mess. In the end, not only did they fail to defeat Sun Jian's army, they even lost Li Su's life. Zhao Cen escaped back to the pass with heavy injuries.
In this way, the first portion of the Power of the World produced by the change in history due to the loss of Hua Xiong smoothly fell into Sei Itō's hands.
After absorbing the Power of the World, Sei Itō looked at the starry sky and muttered to himself, "Sun Jian, you must quickly enter Luoyang. I am still waiting for you to help me break the fate of the Han Dynasty."
"Reporting … General Shan has returned." Not long after, the news of Shan Xiong Xin's return came from the tent.
