During the banquet, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked grim. A family of three dukes for four generations was truly useless in front of the Marquis of Guanjun and the princess' husband. Furthermore, the Empress Dowager was still in Yangzhou, and the main force of the imperial guards was among the singers of Xiao Han.
Lin Han did not refuse the position of alliance leader.
Cao Cao raised his glass and toasted everyone. After a few rounds, he said, "Now that we have appointed our leader, please obey my orders and work together to support the country. Don't be concerned about strength or weakness."
"good."
Everyone toasted again.
After three rounds of drinks, Lin Han finally said, "Hange is not talented, but since you have elected me as the leader of the alliance, I will reward those who have done good deeds and punish those who have committed crimes. The country has its own laws and the army has its own discipline. You should abide by them and not violate them. Otherwise, I will have to deal with you according to military law."
"We will obey the orders of Marquis Guanjun." All the princes said in unison.
"Our allied forces are vast, and Han Ge's strength alone will eventually be limited. Lord Cao will be appointed as the supervisor of the twenty regiments, General Si Fenwu. What do you all think?"
"good."
Everyone praised.
"Each family is responsible for its own food and fodder. We need one person to serve as the vanguard, heading straight to Sishui Pass. The rest of you will occupy strategic positions to provide support. Who among you is willing to serve as the vanguard?"
"I am determined to be a pioneer."
"allow."
Lin Han responded immediately.
The martial arts alliance was concluded, the leader was determined, the battle was settled, and the martial arts alliance was dispersed.
The Yuan brothers did not look happy. They gained nothing from this alliance. The position of alliance leader was taken by Lin Han, and the military supervisor, General Fenwu, was taken by Cao Cao. The princes were responsible for the food and grass matters themselves.
The Yuan family, which had three generations of officials, gained nothing.
On that day, Sun Jian led his troops to break camp and headed straight for Sishui Pass with the power of the vanguard.
The system prompt sounded as Sun Jian broke camp.
"System prompt (Dong Zhuo camp): All players, please note that the princes are leading their troops in rebellion and overthrowing the imperial power. Dong Zhuo has the Han Emperor Liu Xie issue an edict. From now on, killing a soldier from a prince will earn 2 points of military merit, capturing a soldier will earn 5 points of military merit, killing a hundred-man commander will earn 500 points of military merit, and killing a thousand-man commander will earn 1 point of military merit.
Killing a general of ten thousand men earns 100,000 points of military merit, killing a general earns 1,000,000 points of military merit, and taking the head of a first-class or above historical general earns 5,000,000 points of military merit. Killing a low-level (fourth and fifth tier) prince earns 20,000,000 points of military merit. Killing a mid-level (second and third tier) prince earns 30,000,000 points of military merit, and killing a high-level (first tier) prince earns 5,000 points of military merit.
"System Notice (Princes): All players, please note that Dong Zhuo has brought disaster upon the emperor and harmed the people. Fearing the ruin of the country and the destruction of the people, the princes have risen up to purge him. From today onwards, killing one of Dong Zhuo's soldiers will earn you 2 points of military merit, capturing one will earn you 5 points of military merit, killing a hundred-man commander will earn you 500 points of military merit, and killing a thousand-man commander will earn you 1 point of military merit."
Killing a general of ten thousand men earns 100,000 points of military merit, killing a general earns 1,000,000 points of military merit, and taking the head of a first-class or above historical general earns 5,000,000 points of military merit. Killing Li Su earns 30,000,000 points of military merit. Killing Li Ru earns 40,000,000 points of military merit, killing Lu Bu earns 80,000,000 points of military merit, and killing Dong Zhuo earns 100,000,000 points of military merit.
Two system prompts signaled the official start of the battle merit count, and the event's battle merit list appeared. Lin Han glanced at it before closing it.
Not long after returning to the camp, an invitation from Gongsun Zan came. Lin Han immediately rode his horse and took Dian Wei to Gongsun Zan's camp.
A messenger reported that when Lin Han arrived, Gongsun Zan was already waiting at the gate of the military camp. When he saw Lin Han riding towards him, he immediately came forward with a smile on his face.
"I have been waiting for you, Marquis Guanjun, for a long time. Please come in." Gongsun Zan saluted with his fists clasped.
"General Gongsun, you're welcome."
Lin Han dismounted and went inside with Gongsun Zan.
On the way, Gongsun Zan was extremely amazed at Lin Han's mount.
"My Lord, you said this mount is unique and extraordinary."
"This horse is named Hanhai Horse. It was obtained when I went deep into the desert in the past, drank from the vast sea, and looked upside down at the Big Dipper." Lin Han patted the mount beside him. The Hanhai Horse King stretched out his head and knelt his hand, looking very smart.
"No wonder, drinking from the vast ocean and looking up at the Big Dipper, what a heroic sentiment."
Gongsun Zan was somewhat envious. He had spent half his life fighting against the Wuhuan and Xianbei peoples, but had never seen such a scene.
After expressing his feelings, Gongsun Zan got down to business.
"Before, the martial arts arena was crowded, so it was inconvenient to chat for long. Back in Youzhou, when we suppressed Zhang Chun's rebellion, although we had never met, the Marquis of Guanjun was still considered a comrade. I didn't expect to meet in such an occasion today."
"Yes, when General Gongsun was pursuing Zhang Chun's remnants, I knew something was amiss and was about to lead troops to support him. However, the imperial court issued a transfer order, transferring me away. Liu Yu was now in charge of Youzhou, leaving General Gongsun stranded and suffering. I feel guilty about this."
"There's no need for the Champion Marquis to do this. I know the Champion Marquis's heart to quell the rebellion."
Gongsun Zan sighed, then looked extremely angry.
"If the court hadn't transferred the Marquis, Zhang Chun's rebellion would have been quelled long ago. That bastard Liu Yu, after the Marquis left, actually disbanded the Youzhou troops and didn't pursue the remaining rebels. It's outrageous. Although Zhang Chun is dead now, I always feel resentful when I think of him."
"Fortunately, Lord Gongsun is blessed by heaven, otherwise I would be filled with guilt."
"Zan is deeply grateful for the Marquis's loyalty."
Gongsun Zan was deeply moved.
Afterwards, Gongsun Zan sent his followers away and entered the tent with Lin Han.
Inside the tent, two people sat opposite each other at the table, clinking glasses of wine.
"I invited you here this time to thank you for saving my life."
"Help? How can you help me?" Lin Han himself couldn't remember when he had saved Gongsun Zan.
"This life-saving is not the same as that life-saving. I heard that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Marquis went deep into the Yellow Turban camp and rescued my teacher Lu Zhi. Saving my teacher is like saving me. I am deeply grateful."
"So that's what happened. Lord Lu Zhi has a past relationship with my teacher Cai Yong. He's in prison, so I'll save him. No need to be polite."
