Li Yuguo looked at the list and found that among the eighteen princes, he did not include himself. Instead, he chose the eighteen most powerful armies in the world. In addition to these eighteen armies, there was another miscellaneous camp. There are some small forces participating here.
This made Li Yuguo very hesitant. He must know that the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang entered it because of their high martial arts skills. However, he did not have first-rate generals under his command, although Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others were among the top military generals. , but it cannot compete with top military generals like Liu Guanzhang.
Therefore, if Li Yuguo went to that miscellaneous camp, he would probably be buried.
"Later Generals Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Prefect Kong Min, Yanzhou Prefect Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin, Prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, Prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao, Prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan, Prefect of Shangdang Zhang Yang, Marquis of Wucheng Changsha Prefect Sun Jian, Marquis of Qixiang Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, Xiaoqi Colonel Cao Cao, Xiliang Prefect Ma Teng, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian , his grandma's, but there is no eldest brother!" Zhou Cang cursed angrily.
"What?! Our eldest brother is also the prefect of Yiyang County after all, and he is a sixth-rank official. Why can't he be given a quota?" Guan Er couldn't sit still because he couldn't read and could only listen to others read it out.
Lu Zhi frowned and said: "Although my son Hugo is loyal and brave, there are hundreds of prefects in the world, most of them are ordinary counties, and there are only a few who control the army. One is because our combined Yiyang County and Hongnong County only have 15,000 people, and any of their princes will start with 30,000 troops, especially Yuan Shao of Hebei, who has an army of 200,000!"
"The second reason is that Hugo's official position was granted by Wang Situ in vain. Although Wang Yun and Wang Situ were ministers of the court, that was not real power after all. If he had been awarded the title of General Yamen by the Holy Emperor himself, Hugo would have been selected as the eighteenth general. The road master fights one of the princes."
Zhang Ji on the side said: "Cough cough cough... In this case, if we go to the miscellaneous camp, what difference does it make whether we go or not?"
"Indeed, now we can only temporarily rely on one prince!" Lu Zhi said, "I heard that you and Sun Ce have always been on good terms. Is this true?"
"The boy is not talented. He helped Sun Ce to save a siege once in Luoyang City." Li Huguo said.
Lu Zhi's eyes lit up: "This is very good. You can bring five thousand soldiers, Zhou Cang and Guan Hai to the alliance, and temporarily join Sun Jian's camp. When the war comes, you can make achievements. If you cannot make achievements, It also helped Sun Jian and General Sun Wentai achieve military exploits, and it will be good to have strong support from Jiangdong in the future."
Xun Yu clapped his hands and applauded: "Mr. Lu is very resourceful. Jiangdong is full of outstanding people. If we can have good relations with Jiangdong, there will be many benefits in the future. If we win, we can make great achievements. If we lose, we can also get a favor from Sun Jian. You must know this In troubled times, human kindness is priceless!”
"Yes!" Lu Zhi said, "Start preparations today!"
"Very good, I recently trained an elite infantry force, exactly five thousand people!" Zhang Ji said happily.
"But...but brother-in-law, that's all your belongings!" Li Yuguo said in shock. Zhang Ji's Hongnong County was already very poor. It was quite difficult to gather five thousand sets of armor. And these five thousand elite soldiers, then They are all a group of people carefully cultivated by Zhang Ji, so Zhang Ji is equivalent to giving all his family wealth to Li Yuguo.
Zou said: "We are all one family, and among Hongnong County and Yiyang County, you are the well-deserved number one general. Only you can participate in this 18-way princes meeting. You will make great contributions in the future." Your sister and brother-in-law will all be protected by you, now just think of it as your sister and brother-in-law's investment in you, which is not free."
She stood up, looked outside the restaurant and said: "In this troubled world, everyone has ambitions, and this ambition also requires strength. Your brother-in-law is weak and sick, and Zhang Xiu is still young. When you go there this time , taking Zhang Xiu with him, and then Zhou Cang and Guan Hai."
"Your brother-in-law regards these five thousand soldiers as more important than his life. This is also your brother-in-law's ambition. He wants to use these soldiers to build a career, but his body does not allow it. If your brother-in-law is still as strong as before, If he is highly skilled in martial arts, he will definitely lead these five thousand people to the alliance... "
After saying that, Zou Xiangyu looked at Li Yuguo, with deep trust in his eyes.
"Diao Chan thanked my sister on behalf of my husband." Diao Chan couldn't bear it anymore and said with tears falling.
Zou Xiangyu took Diao Chan's hand and said: "Brothers and sisters, you're welcome, we are all one family... And this alliance between the eighteen princes to fight thieves is an opportunity to prove their strength... If it succeeds, my brother will definitely become famous all over the world. At that time, we will recruit troops and buy horses, and respond to hundreds of calls, and all the counselors and brave generals in the world will rush to join us, and my brother will be able to make unparalleled achievements, leave his name in history, and support the Han Dynasty!"
"Yes, this is an adventure, but it is also an opportunity. Just imagine... if we let go of this opportunity and just slowly farm and recruit soldiers and horses in Yiyang County and Hongnong County, will it take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to have a good climate?" Xun Yu was also very excited. He naturally wanted Li Yuguo to achieve something.
Zhang Ji next to him coughed again, and he said: "That's it... I, I don't know when I will leave this world. Now my health is getting worse day by day. Whether it is Hugo or Axiu, you two Everyone is my relative, if either of you can achieve immortal feats, I will be happy for you, even if you die, my brother will still be smiling!"
"Brother-in-law, please don't say that! I heard that there is a miracle doctor Hua Tuo in Luoyang. This time I am going to find the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. Maybe he will have a way to cure your lung disease." Li Yuguo said hurriedly, at least to give Zhang Ji hope. .
Zhang Ji gave a sad smile: "Your brother, I am not a fool. I know what disease I have. I only hope that I am still alive and can see my family become famous all over the world and make achievements."
As he spoke, Zhang Ji's eyes became moist.
Li Yuguo grabbed Zhang Ji's arm. He gritted his teeth and held back his tears and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry! I... Li Yuguo swears here that these five thousand soldiers will definitely create a world with me during this trip!"
"Okay!" Everyone was overjoyed.
Now without further ado, Li Hugo planned to leave as soon as possible, so he and Diao Chan came to the moon and prepared to say goodbye. Diao Chan said: "I don’t know how long it will take for the general to come back from this trip. It will be winter soon. I have prepared a woolen cloak for the general." , can keep out the cold.”
"Hongchang, don't bother me. I'm not afraid of the cold. I'm just worried... You're alone in Yiyang, you..." Li Yuguo hesitated.
Diao Chan smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, I have Xun Yu in Wen and Zilong and Paifeng in Wu. Nothing will happen to me. Teacher Lu Zhi is also here this time."
