Chapter 797: Blood-based alliance

As a candidate for the position of alliance leader, Yuan Shu was too thick-skinned to vote for himself, so the three of them voted for each other.

Yuan Shu voted for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao voted for Qin Hao, and Qin Hao voted for... Yuan Shao!

Of course it was impossible for Qin Hao to vote for Yuan Shu, and seeing Yuan Shu's pitiful number of votes, Qin Hao felt embarrassed for Yuan Shu. When he saw Yuan Shu's face, as expected, it was darker than the bottom of the pot.

"Why do you need to humiliate yourself?" Qin Hao sighed in his heart.

 20 princes voted for Qin Hao. This number was actually lower than Qin Hao expected. After all, more than 20 princes were originally promised.

It can also be seen from this that Yuan Shao definitely dug into Qin Hao's walls in private. He also succeeded in getting many people to defect to his side, but unfortunately he did not do enough and it was too late, so that in the end he was the leader of the alliance. It’s still Qin Hao’s.

To be honest, Qin Hao was not surprised that he was elected as the alliance leader. What surprised him was that Liu Xiu actually voted for his enemy?

 “It’s really dishonest.” Qin Hao sneered in his heart.

Liu Xiu voted for Qin Hao, of course not hoping that Qin Hao would become the leader of the alliance, but based on his speculation, it was a foregone conclusion that Qin Hao would become the leader of the alliance, so he might as well give up this useless vote to benefit himself.

I, Liu Xiu, have given up all the previous grudges and even took the initiative to choose you Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance? You, Qin Hao, are not going to plot against me secretly, are you? Then you are too narrow-minded!

The words are quite reasonable. This is what Liu Xiu wanted to express, and Liu Xiu was indeed lucky to be right this time. His alertness saved his life again.

Qin Hao originally planned to be elected as the leader of the alliance, so he named Liu Xiu as the pioneer and asked Liu Xiu and Dong Zhuo to fight each other. With Liu Xiu's few soldiers and horses, once they were gone, it would definitely be a narrow escape.

But after Liu Xiu did this, Qin Hao couldn't arrange it that way. After all, he just killed the donkey as soon as he became the leader of the alliance. What would the princes who also supported him think?

It can be seen that Liu Xiu's control over people's hearts has definitely reached the level of a master. No one can do so many things with just one vote.

 Qin Hao felt that Liu Xiu was just a loach, and that Slippery Autumn was not under his control at all. Whenever he thought he could control him, he would always use small tricks to avert danger, which made Qin Hao feel powerless.

"Forget it, Liu Xiu is just a worm, Dong Zhuo is the real enemy. Once Dong Zhuo is completely dealt with, it will be too late to deal with Liu Xiu."

Qin Hao is ready to let Liu Xiu go temporarily. After all, dealing with Liu Xiu at this time is really not worth the gain.

 Qin Hao let Liu Xiu go this time, but he will not have such a good opportunity in the future. Liu Xiu will also add countless troubles to Qin Hao in the future, and is one of the most difficult opponents Qin Hao faces.

Although Qin Hao had the most votes, he could not agree directly. He still had to hypocritically decline several times as usual. After all the princes insisted that it was Qin Hao, Qin Hao agreed to serve as the leader of the alliance.

 The next day, outside the city of Jujube.

In front of the coalition camp, there is a three-story platform with flags from five directions. There are white and yellow axes on it, and military talismans and general seals are placed on the documents.

 “The leader takes the stage.”

Thirty-five princes from all directions shouted to invite Qin Hao to the altar.

 Qin Hao is wearing a unicorn armor, a red bird robe, a green dragon crown on his head, a black basalt jade belt around his waist, and a Tianwen Sword hanging on his waist. He looks very heroic.

After arranging his clothes, armor and sword, Qin Hao went up to the stage and began to burn incense and worship.

After three buckles, Qin Hao faced the coalition forces and shouted angrily and generously:

“The Han Dynasty was in misfortune and the imperial authority was out of control.

The traitor Dong Zhuo took advantage of provocations and indulged in harm, bringing disaster to the Supreme Being and abusing the people.

Hao and others were afraid of the loss of the country, so they gathered volunteers and went to the national disaster.

 Every alliance between us will work together to achieve integrity among our ministers, and we must have the same ambition.     If we have this alliance with Chongqing, we will lose our lives and have no legacy.

 The emperor, the queen, the earth, the ancestors are wise, we can all learn from this fact! "

Having said that, Qin Hao walked slowly to a large cauldron filled with wine.

Qin Hao bit his index finger decisively and dripped blood into the cauldron. After finishing, Qin Hao walked back to the high platform again, and the other thirty-five princes also dripped blood into the cauldron.

After the incident was over, Qin Hao took the blood wine containing the blood of the thirty-six princes handed over by his attendant, looked at the princes with a serious face, and shouted: "Swear to kill the traitor Dong."

After saying that, Qin Hao drank the bowl of blood wine first, and then slammed the bowl to the ground.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 The wine bowl was smashed by Qin Hao.

Seeing this, the other princes also shouted: "Swear to kill the traitor Dong."

　　Everyone drank together, and then, click... click... click... broken pieces of the wine bowl were smashed all over the floor, and this is an indispensable step for an alliance. Blood is an alliance.

After the blood was wiped out, Qin Hao came down from the altar and led everyone back to the tent.

Qin Hao slowly walked to the main seat, looked around the major princes, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hao is not talented. I am elected as the leader of the alliance by everyone. I am extremely frightened. From now on, those who have merit will be rewarded and those who are guilty will be punished. State-owned permanent punishment , the military has disciplines and everyone should abide by them and do not violate them."

All the princes knelt down on one knee, raised their hands and shouted in unison: "I will obey the order of the leader of the alliance."

Seeing this, Qin Hao unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "Now, as the leader of the thirty-sixth princes alliance, I announce that the entire army will be integrated for a month, and then the troops will be sent to Hulao Pass."

None of the princes expected that Qin Hao would act so vigorously and resolutely. The first thing he did after becoming the leader of the alliance was to integrate the forces of the thirty-six princes.

Of course, they also knew that Qin Hao's integration was not to disperse and integrate the forces of the princes, but to conduct overall coordination without changing the organization.

The total strength of the coalition forces is nearly 550,000, but they belong to 36 forces. The army establishment is too many and complex, and 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 Xiliang cavalry?

The concentrated cavalry included: 10,000 Qin troops, 30,000 Jin troops, 10,000 Youzhou troops, and 10,000 Gongsun troops. The remaining thirty-two princes gathered 40,000 cavalry, for a total of 100,000 cavalry.

 Second, in order to avoid confusion in command, Qin Hao decided to divide the army into groups of 50,000 soldiers and horses, for a total of eleven groups, including two cavalry groups and nine infantry groups.

It seems useless to do this, but the doorway inside is huge. After all, it is much easier to integrate an army of 50,000 at once than 500,000, right?

Except for Qin Hao, Qin Jian and Yuan Shu, no other princes had more than 50,000 troops.

Therefore, two to four princes from each other group will join to coordinate and integrate with each other, so that the coalition can be integrated in the shortest time.
