Chapter 420 This is different from the TV series

At this moment, Yuan Shu had cursed hundreds of times in his heart. When he heard an unknown person behind Gongsun Zan speak, he became even more angry, "Who are you?"

Liu Bei cupped his hands and said, "My name is Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande. I am a relative of the Han Dynasty, the son of Emperor Jing, and a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan."

Zhang Fei who was standing beside him howled, "My eldest brother is the emperor's uncle. Whoever dares to cause trouble will be the first to chop off his head."

Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown when he heard the voice, "What a disgrace to be making such a fuss! Get the one making the noise out first!"

Cao Cao hurried out to smooth things over, "Everyone, please calm down. We are here to execute Dong. If we quarrel over a misunderstanding, won't people laugh at us?"

"Of course." Yuan Shu quickly pulled back the words, "I, Yuan Shu, am loyal and have never had any intention of disloyalty. Don't slander me."

Luo Jiu sneered. This guy was the first person to proclaim himself emperor during the Three Kingdoms period, so it couldn't be considered slandering him.

Liu Bei said: "It's good that there is none. Otherwise, my three brothers would fight to the death and kill other traitors just like we killed Dong Zhuo."

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Here are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, there are no traitors or villains."

He looked at Luo Jiu, then at Yuan Shao, and said as the initiator: "Since the Chang'an army has arrived, we will add a nineteenth route of princes to fight against Dong Zhuo together."

He gestured, and someone added a small seat at the end, along with a small table.

Luo Jiu then brought his men over and took a seat, successfully joining the group.

Next, we enter the first step of the alliance process, selecting a leader.

Cao Cao also knew that he was not qualified and Yuan Shao had the highest prestige, so everyone recommended Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao pretended to refuse, but still took the position of leader.

There was a lot of noise in the hall. Luo Jiu knew that she had not made any achievements at this moment. These princes looked down on the Chang'an army, so she was not anxious or impatient.

The group of people were talking non-stop, so she took the fruit on her table and shared it with the five people behind her. Everyone ate and drank and watched the show.

Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, sat on the throne, and delivered an impassioned speech.

Then a scholar presented the newly written covenant letter, and Yuan Shao led everyone in reading it, beginning the final ceremony: drinking blood oath.

The soldier brought a bowl of freshly poured cow blood, which was still steaming. Each of the 19 princes drank a sip and smeared some blood on his face.

"Oh my god!" Zhong Jialing's face wrinkled as she watched Yuan Shao take the first sip.

She couldn't help but mutter, "What is this? This is different from what's shown in the TV series. Isn't it about pricking your hand to draw blood?"

Luo Jiu said: "In ancient times, blood oaths were made with the blood of livestock. The TV show made a mistake."

Chen Gong was confused. "What is a TV series?"

Cheng Yaoyao explained: "It's a form of theatrical performance from our hometown."

Chen Gong nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Qi watched the blood bowl being passed over and looked at Luo Jiu nervously, "Do you really want to drink it? There must be bacteria in it."

Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Those who achieve great things are not particular about small matters. When in Rome, follow the local customs. At worst, I'll finish drinking and take some anti-inflammatory medicine."

Feng Qi sighed and said admiringly: "You have to be the mistress. If you let me drink, I will run away now."

As he was talking, the bowl of blood was passed to him. Luo Jiu drank a sip without changing his expression, and smeared some of the blood on his face like everyone else.

Everyone was quite surprised to see that she was not at all shy, and the way they looked at her changed a little.

After the ceremony, Yuan Shao announced that his cousin Yuan Shu would be the governor of grain and fodder, and everyone bowed to congratulate him.

Yuan Shao then asked: "Who is willing to be the vanguard? Go to Sishui Pass to challenge, and we will meet you here."

At this time, a middle-aged general in his forties stood up and said, "I am a humble man, but I am willing to be the vanguard and fight for all the heroes."

Fu Bao squatted beside Luo Jiu and asked in a low voice: "Is this Sun Ce's father?"

Luo Jiu nodded. "His name is Sun Jian, with the courtesy name Wentai. He is a descendant of Sun Wu, the grandson of the Art of War. He is loyal, brave and open-minded, and has the demeanor of a famous general. The young general in white robe behind him should be his eldest son, Sun Ce."

As they were talking, Yuan Shao had already agreed to Sun Jian's request, so Sun Jian got up and left, ready to lead his troops to Sishui Pass.

All the princes stood up and said some parting words, most of which were auspicious words such as "We look forward to hearing from General Sun about victory" and "Brother Wentai will surely win a great victory this time."

Luo Jiu was at the back, closest to the door. When Sun Jian came to her, she said loudly, "I wish General Sun a great victory." Then she whispered a reminder, "Be sure to bring all the food and grass."

Sun Jian looked at her in surprise, then bowed and said, "Thank you!"

As the saying goes, food and fodder are the first to go before the army moves. The importance of food and fodder in marching and fighting is self-evident.

This time Yuan Shao asked Yuan Shu to be the governor of grain and grass. These two brothers just can't hold it in well.

Yuan Shu was a despicable man. He was afraid that Sun Jian would really capture Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo. In his eyes, Sun Jian was a fierce tiger from Jiangdong. He was afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble. So even though he promised to supply food and grass, he deliberately withheld it when the time came. He hoped that there would be a mutiny in Sun Jian's army, so that Sun Jian would lose the battle and suffer.

That night, Luo Jiu and his companions stayed in the camp assigned by the Allied Forces. At night, Luo Jiu looked at the sky and wandered alone in the courtyard.

Chen Gong hurriedly asked, "Madam, what are you worried about? I am willing to share your worries."

Luo Jiu sighed, "I am worried about General Sun Wentai."

Chen Gong said, "General Sun won the first battle in front of Sishui Pass, and the victory report has been sent back. Although Sishui Pass was not captured, the situation is very good. Why is the mistress worried?"

Luo Jiu said: "Along with the victory report, there was also a letter asking for food and grass. Did you see Yuan Shu send someone to deliver food and grass to them?"

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, "Yuan Shu is a cunning man, he will definitely not give us the food and fodder readily. But I guess he will not refuse to give it to us."

Luo Jiu smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid by the time he's willing to give it, it will be too late."

According to the original novel, the enemy would get the news that Sun Jian's army was short of food tonight, and then attack Sun Jian's camp at night. Sun Jian almost died, but thanks to his subordinate General Zu Mao's sacrifice, he was able to save his life.

Chen Gong pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have something to say, but I'm afraid the mistress won't like it."

Luo Jiu said: "It is wise to listen to both sides. Please tell me now."

Chen Gong said: "During this meeting, the 19 princes seem to be very powerful, but in fact, some of them may have ulterior motives and want to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. We are participating in the meeting to enhance our reputation. We cannot control other things, nor do we have the ability to control them.

The princes are fighting each other. Today they are allies, tomorrow they are enemies. Sun Jian and Yuan Shu may become our enemies in the future. They consume each other, and the mistress can just stand by and watch. "

Luo Jiu shook his head. "You can't say that. Sun Jian is fighting for the allies this time. We shouldn't let the righteous people down. Even if we become enemies tomorrow, I want an enemy like Sun Jian, not an enemy like Yuan Shu."

Chen Gong bowed and said, "My lady, your majesty is righteous, and I am narrow-minded.

But we have no food or military orders, and we cannot send reinforcements. How else can we help?"

Luo Jiu pondered and said, "Yes, there is a way."
