"Bao Zhong took the initiative to lead the troops to challenge the enemy. If he had not died, I would have personally executed him upon my return. Now that he is dead, this matter is over. I will also inform you that since you have elected me as the leader of the alliance, I will act according to military regulations and must not violate military taboos.

Bao Zhong challenged us to a battle, resulting in the loss of 30,000 men and horses. This battle only gave Dong Zhuo a small victory. Victory and defeat are common in the military. There should be news from the Wentai soon, so it's worth waiting."

This statement made the other princes nod secretly.

During the banquet, the Yuan brothers looked uncertain. In their opinion, Lin Han had become his opponent. After Dong Zhuo was eliminated, Lin Han would definitely be one of the most difficult to deal with.

Not long after Lin Han finished speaking, a spy appeared outside the camp with an urgent report.

"My Lords, General Sun Jian, the vanguard, led his troops into Ao Cang, Sili. Taking advantage of their rest, they defeated Dong Zhuo's general Hu Zhen's 200,000-man army and marched towards Sishui."

Everyone else at the table looked relieved, the gloom of Bao Zhong's death swept away.

The vanguard army won the first battle, which is a good start.

"Someone, bring the wine."

Lin Han waved his hand and asked his soldiers to bring in wine so that he could drink with the princes at the banquet.

After the banquet, the princes dispersed.

Lin Han asked Cao Cao to go with him.

"Brother Cao, Wentai has won a great victory, but the army has advanced deep into the enemy territory and food and fodder are scarce. You must have your men pay close attention to the food and fodder sent to Wentai and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Lin Han warned Cao Cao earnestly, and he immediately woke up, clasped his fists, and left in a hurry.

Historically, when Sun Jian won a great victory, the Yuan brothers were afraid that Sun Jian would attack Luoyang first and grow stronger, so they cut off his food supplies, causing him to become confused.

This time, Sun Jian is the vanguard and Lin Han is the leader. He doesn't want this to happen again.

Cao Cao was a smart man. He understood what Lin Han meant and left in a hurry.

Lin Han sent the princes away and headed to the training ground alone to inspect the military training. As soon as he arrived outside the training ground, he heard the sounds of fighting and cheering.

The closer they got, the louder the cheers became.
