Chapter 793 Thirty-six princes
Chapter 791: Thirty-six princes
In September of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Qin Hao issued a manifesto to fight against Dong, calling on the princes of the world to join forces to fight against Dong.
In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), thirty-six princes gathered with sour jujubes, and a feast of princes officially began.
And these thirty-six princes are:

The 35th Route, the prefect of Ba County, Liu Ji, sent 5,000 troops;
The 36th Route, the governor of Bingzhou, Qin Wen, sent 50,000 troops;
Qin Hao didn’t expect that this time, he would attract 36 princes. What does this mean?
It can be said that except for Huang Chao, Han Sui and Wang Lang, all the princes in the world have joined the alliance, and Dong Zhuo has already been enemies of the world.
Is Dong Zhuo so hateful? Now it''s completely unscrupulous.
Qin Hao secretly guessed in his heart that he also knew that so many princes would come, mainly because of the general trend.
When it is a matter of course to challenge Dong, most princes have to come under the influence of this general trend, otherwise their reputation will be affected.
This makes people very helpless, but there is no good idea, so the alliance has also produced two modes.
First, the more active princes, all of them led their troops to the alliance and took the initiative to participate in this feast;
Second, the more negative princes, they spoke and joined the alliance, but did not participate in it in person, but just sent a general to lead a small number of troops to participate.
In this alliance, a total of 26 princes arrived in person. They were all actively participating in the bidding for Dong, so they naturally brought the most troops.
Qin Hao led the most troops, dispatched a total of 60,000 troops, and the fewest ones such as Liu Xiu and Ma Teng had only 3,000 troops.
As for the princes such as Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, and Cao Cao, their troops were between 30,000 and 50,000, while most of the remaining princes were between 10,000 and 20,000.
The other ten princes were unwilling to get involved, but they were not willing to disobey the general trend of Dong, so they had to speak and condemn Dong Zhuo, and they sent other generals to participate in the alliance, while staying in place to sit and watch the feast. These princes sent not many troops. Except for the Jin army, the other nine princes did not have the troops of over 10,000.
As for the Jin army, it was a bit special. They were definitely active princes, but because Qin Wen''s body could no longer lead the army, he could only send the most prestigious Qin Jian.
Although the troops led by the thirty-six princes are of varying levels, they are also an extremely huge number when they gather together.
After all the princes gathered and confirmed, Qin Hao sent people to count the total number of the coalition forces and found that there were a total of 540,000 troops.
540,000 troops, this has exceeded all the troops under Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo''s total troops can reach 500,000, but he cannot transfer all his troops to the top. Eliminate the basic troops of the prefectures and counties, Dong Zhuo mobilizes up to 300,000 troops to fight with the coalition forces.
In this way, this battle became, with 540,000 coalition forces of the princes vs. 300,000 Liangzhou troops.
The coalition forces have an absolute advantage in numbers, but it does not mean that they will win.
Although there are many coalition forces, the quality is somewhat unsatisfactory, but the Liang army is different. The overall quality of soldiers is higher than that of the coalition forces.
In addition, the 540,000 coalition forces are divided into different forces. If there is no strong leader, it will be difficult to unite and work together.
Although the 300,000 Liangzhou Army belongs to different factions, the whole is still the Liang army, so it is naturally much more united than the coalition forces.
From these two points, we can see that the battle against Dong is not that easy to fight. We must have a strong leader to ensure that the coalition forces can defeat the Liang army.
The Qin and Jin armies shared a large camp. After the Jin army arrived, Qin Hao''s troops also reached 110,000, reaching one-fifth of the coalition.
With just the military strength, Qin Hao has surpassed the major princes, which is enough to take the position of leader of the alliance.
But to be on the safe side, Qin Hao is still trying to win over the major princes. Even if doing so may be a spoiler, there is no harm in establishing a good relationship with the princes.
The lineup of generals dispatched by the Jin army this time was also very luxurious. In addition to the main general Qin Jian, there were also generals such as Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Guan Sheng, and Luo Cheng. The remaining generals such as Li Dingguo and Luo Yi were all left in Bingzhou.
As for Qin Hao, there are even more powerful generals here, not only Li Cunxiao, Ran Min and Jiang Song, but also these three war gods with super magical skills, but also magical generals such as Pei Yuanqing, Xiong Kuohai, Xue Rengui, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Qin Yong, etc., and top-notch masters such as Su Dingfang, Lin Chong, and Qin Ming. The lineup is not inferior to Dong Zhuo at all.
It is worth mentioning that after Cheng Yaojin was redeemed, he learned that Qin Hao was Qin Qiong''s clan brother, and without thinking, he agreed to join the Qin army.
When he learned that Qin Hao had used 300 armor to exchange for him, Cheng Yaojin was even more moved and burst into tears. He didn''t expect that he would be so valuable.
