Chapter 799: Blood is the alliance
Chapter 797: Blood is the alliance
As a candidate in the position of leader, Yuan Shu was so shameless that he was embarrassed to vote for him, so the three of them all voted against each other.
Yuan Shu voted for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao voted for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao voted for... Yuan Shao!
Of course, Qin Hao could not vote against Yuan Shu, and seeing Yuan Shu''s pitiful votes, Qin Hao felt embarrassed for Yuan Shu. When he saw Yuan Shu''s face, it was true, it was even darker than the bottom of the pot.
"Why should I bring humiliation to myself?" Qin Hao sighed in his heart.
20 princes voted for Qin Hao, which was actually lower than Qin Hao expected. After all, there were more than twenty princes who promised at the beginning.
From this we can also see that Yuan Shao has definitely dug up Qin Hao''s footsteps in private, and he has also made many people rebel to him, but unfortunately he didn''t exert enough force and it was too late, so that the position of leader of the alliance was still Qin Hao.
To be honest, I was not surprised that Qin Hao was elected as the leader of the alliance. What surprised him was that Liu Xiu actually voted for his enemy?
"I''m really dishonest." Qin Hao sneered in his heart.
Liu Xiu voted for Qin Hao, of course he did not want Qin Hao to become the leader of the alliance, but based on his speculation, Qin Hao was determined to be the leader of the alliance, so it would be better to give up this useless vote to make profit for himself.
I, Liu Xiu, gave up all the grudges before, and even took the initiative to choose you, Qin Hao, as the leader? You, Qin Hao, wouldn''t you even want to secretly murder me, right? Then your mind is too narrow-minded!
The words are pretty good, and Liu Xiu wants to express this truth. Liu Xiu was lucky to be right this time, and his alertness saved his life again.
After Qin Hao was originally going to be elected as the leader of the alliance, he appointed Liu Xiu as the pioneer and asked Liu Xiu and Dong Zhuo to kill each other. If Liu Xiu''s little troops were gone, it would definitely be a life-threatening death.
But after being dealt with by Liu Xiu, Qin Hao was not able to make such arrangements. After all, he just became the leader and killed the donkey. What would the princes who also supported him think?
From this we can see that Liu Xiu''s control over people''s hearts is definitely at the level of a master. Even if he can do so many things even if he votes, he is no one else.
Qin Hao felt that Liu Xiu was just a loach, and he was not under his control at all. Whenever he thought he could control him, he could always use small means to turn danger into a bargain, which made Qin Hao feel like he was unable to do so.
"Forget it, Liu Xiu is just a trouble for being obsessed with moss. Dong Zhuo is the real enemy. When Dong Zhuo is completely solved, it will be too late to deal with Liu Xiu."
Qin Hao is ready to let Liu Xiu go temporarily, after all, it is not worth the effort to deal with Liu Xiu at this time.
This time Qin Hao lets Liu Xiu go, and there will be no such good opportunity in the future. Liu Xiu will also cause countless troubles to Qin Hao in the future. He is one of the most difficult opponents to deal with.
Although Qin Hao had the largest number of votes, he could not agree directly. He still had to sue him hypocritically several times according to the convention. After all the princes insisted that Qin Hao must be the leader of the coalition forces, Qin Hao agreed to take the post of leader of the coalition forces.
The next day, outside the Sour Zao City.
In front of the coalition camp, there was a three-story platform, with flags everywhere, white tars and yellow axes on them, and military talismans and general seals were placed on them.
"The leader takes the stage."
The 35 princes shouted and invited Qin Hao to the altar.
Qin Hao was wearing a niclin armor, a vermilion robe, a blue dragon crown, a black wu jade belt with a waist, and a Tianwen Sword, which was extremely heroic.
After sorting out his lower armor and swords, Qin Hao held his head up on the stage and began to burn incense and bow down.
After three buttons, Qin Hao faced the coalition forces and shouted in grief and anger and generously:
“The Han Dynasty was unfortunate and the imperial system was out of power.
The traitor Dong Zhuo took advantage of the danger and harmed the people, and the disaster was the supreme, and the people were abused.
Hao and others were afraid of the decline of the country, so they merged with the righteous army and went to the national crisis.
Anyone who joins our alliance and works together to achieve the integrity of our ministers will have no different ambitions. There was a Yu alliance, so that he could lose his life and no reproduction could be cured.
The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are the land, and the ancestors are wise and spiritual, and they all understand it! ”
After saying that, Qin Hao slowly walked to a large cauldron, which was filled with wine.
Qin Hao decisively bit his index finger and dripped blood into the top. After the incident, Qin Hao walked back to the platform again, and the other thirty-five princes also dripped blood into the cauldron in turn.
After the matter was finished, Qin Hao took the blood wine handed over by his servant, containing the blood of the thirty-six princes. He looked at the princes with a serious expression and shouted, "I swear to kill Dong thief."
After saying that, Qin Hao took the lead in drying the bowl of blood wine, and then suddenly threw the bowl to the ground.
"Click..."
The wine bowl was smashed by Qin Hao.
Seeing this, the other princes shouted, "Swear to kill Dong''s thief."
Everyone drank together, and then, the wine bowl was smashed all over the ground, and this was an indispensable step for the alliance, and blood was the alliance.
After the bloodshed, Qin Hao walked down from the altar and led everyone back to the tent.
Qin Hao slowly walked to the main position, looked around the major princes, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao is not talented, and he is recommended as the leader of the alliance. He is extremely frightened. He will reward any merits in the future and punish any crime. The country has regular punishments and the army has discipline. Everyone should abide by them and do not violate them."
All the princes knelt down on one knee, bowed and shouted in unison: "Abide by the orders of the leader of the alliance."
Seeing this, Qin Hao unconsciously raised his lips and continued, "Now, as the leader of the thirty-six princes, I will announce that the entire army will be integrated for a month, and then send troops to Hulao Pass."
The princes did not expect that Qin Hao would be so decisive in his work. The first thing he did after becoming the leader was to integrate the troops of the thirty-six princes.
Of course, they also knew that Qin Hao''s integration was not to disperse the princes'' forces, but to coordinate without changing the organization.
The total strength of the coalition forces is nearly 550,000, but they belong to 36 parties. The army is too many and complicated, so it is very inconvenient to command.
So, in response to this situation, Qin Hao came up with two plans.
First, Qin Hao gathered all the coalition cavalry together.
This is inevitable. After all, if the cavalry is not concentrated, how can we fight against Dong Zhuo''s Western Liang Iron Cavalry?
The concentrated cavalry included: 10,000 Qin troops, 30,000 Jin troops, 10,000 Youzhou troops, and 10,000 Gongsun troops. The remaining 32 princes gathered 40,000 cavalry, totaling 100,000 cavalry.
Second, in order to avoid the chaos in command, Qin Hao decided to set the army into one group for every 50,000 troops, a total of eleven groups, including two cavalry groups and nine infantry groups.
This seems useless, but the tricks inside are huge. After all, it is much easier to integrate a 50,000 army at one time than a 500,000 army, right?
Except for Qin Hao, Qin Jian and Yuan Shu, no other prince had more than 50,000 troops.
Therefore, two to four princes will join each other in each group to coordinate and run-in with each other, so that the coalition forces can be integrated in the shortest time.
