In fact, Sun Jian had fought side by side with Liu Feng many times, and Sun Jian admired Liu Feng's strategy and martial arts very much.

In his opinion, Liu Feng was one of the best in both strategy and martial arts. With him as the leader of the alliance, it was only a matter of time before he defeated the Dong thief.

So he really wanted to win the first victory as a vanguard.

Liu Feng appointed Yuan Shao as the vanguard. Sun Jian saw Yuan Shao's expression and seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Feng's arrangement.

So he took the initiative to invite Ying and said:"Alliance leader, I have brought 10,000 Jiangdong men with me this time to attack the Dong bandits, and I have four generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Zu Mao. I am willing to be the vanguard to attack Hulao Pass. The Alliance Army got off to a good start."

Liu Feng was not surprised by Sun Jian's offer to join the army.

After all, he will personally go into battle to kill the enemy in every battle, and he will be the vanguard, never timid in battle.

However, Liu Feng knew that the person guarding Hulao was Hua Xiong, Dong Zhuo's general. If Sun Jian went there, he would lose his troops just like in history.

So Liu Feng said:"Brother Wentai is a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Everyone knows his bravery and is the best candidate for the vanguard army.

But brother Wentai has lived in Jiangdong for a long time and is not familiar with the terrain of Luoyang and Hulao Pass.

Again. In addition, this battle is the opening battle between our coalition of princes and Dong Zhuo. The people of the world, the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China, and the princes from all over the world are paying attention to us.

Therefore, this battle can only be fought but cannot be defeated.

Although I know that if Brother Wentai Attacking Hulao Pass as a vanguard can still get a good start and win a complete victory, but it is inevitable that some troops will be wasted due to unfamiliarity with the terrain.

Hulao Pass is just the first step for us to enter Luoyang to kill the Dong thief, and there will be more to come. An important task is waiting for Brother Wentai, so this king did not let Brother Wentai serve as the vanguard.

Brother Benchu ​​has been an official in Luoyang all year round, and he has been an official to Sili Xiaowei. It can be said that the whole of Luoyang and Hulao Pass Brother Benchu ​​must have memorized all the terrain.

With this familiarity with the terrain, Brother Benchu ​​must be able to arrange his troops more calmly and choose the right place to set up an ambush.

Therefore, Brother Benchu ​​is the vanguard and can If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.

In this way, our alliance army can use minimal losses to obtain the first victory in this war against Dong.

Therefore, I am afraid that this achievement can only be given to Ben Chu. Brother."

Sun Jian listened to Liu Feng's explanation and thought that what Liu Feng thought was very reasonable.

After all, Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will only waste your troops and it will be difficult to win.

In this case, it is better to use the troops to enter Luoyang and kill the Dong thieves later.

After understanding this, Sun Jian raised his hand to Liu Feng and said,"I admire King Bingjian for his thoughtfulness.

With King Bingjian as the leader, it will be just around the corner to conquer Luoyang."

In response to Sun Jian's compliment, Liu Feng just waved his hand and said a few words of humility. Nothing more was said.

Then, Liu Feng turned to look at Yuan Shao and asked,"Brother Benchu, are you satisfied with this king's arrangement?"

Yuan Shao actually didn't want to be a vanguard.

In his mind, he brought troops to join the coalition just to gain fame and did not want to waste his troops fighting.

Because of this, he really wanted to become the leader.

But now that the alliance leader has been decided and has nothing to do with him, his idea of ​​gaining fame without wasting troops has been shattered.

However, when Liu Feng said that the vanguard army could achieve the first victory, Yuan Shao also realized that since he could not become the leader of the alliance, he could only gain fame through military exploits.

The first battle between the coalition of princes and Dong Zhuo's army will definitely go down in history.

If he could win the Alliance's first victory, Yuan Shao's reputation would surely resound throughout the Han Dynasty and even go down in history.

Even this first merit is more easily recognized by the people of the world than being the leader of the alliance.

So Yuan Shao nodded and said:"King Bingjian is the leader of our coalition of princes. I will naturally abide by your arrangement.

Please rest assured, King Bingjian, I will definitely capture Hulao Pass."

In fact, Yuan Shao's idea is very simple. If he can After breaking Hulao Pass, there would be no danger to defend between Hulao and Luoyang. At that time, he could lead his army directly into Luoyang.

After all, the purpose of the coalition of princes to attack Dong Zhuo is to enter Luoyang. It is best to kill Dong Zhuo. If not, it is not impossible to drive Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang.

When the time comes for him to enter Hulao Pass, he no longer needs to listen to the orders of Liu Feng, the leader of the alliance, but directly leads his army into Luoyang and kills Dong Zhuo.

In this way, all the credit belongs to Yuan Shao himself and has little to do with the coalition of princes.

As for Liu Feng, he worked hard to become the leader of the alliance, but in the end he still didn't get any fame. Let's see what you have to be arrogant about.

Liu Feng didn't know Yuan Shao's thoughts, but he still said:"Brother Benchu, it is a good thing to have confidence.

But you must not underestimate the enemy. Hua Xiong, the guard of Hulao Pass, is quite brave. Brother Benchu, please be careful. You must not take it lightly."

Yuan Shao didn't take Liu Feng's words to heart and just raised his hand to show his understanding.

Then Liu Feng said to Yuan Shu:"Brother Lu, food and grass are the foundation of an army. There is a saying in the Art of War that 'the three armies go first before using food and grass', which shows the importance of food and grass to an army.

It is precisely because food and grass are very important to us. It is important that I, the King, will send a capable and trustworthy person to be responsible for escorting the grain and grass.

Therefore, Brother Highway has a long way to go.

Although Brother Highway did not go to the front line in person, your importance to us, the 18th Route Princes Alliance, is Enough to be among the best."

Because Yuan Shu was not convinced by Liu Feng being the leader of the alliance, although Yuan Shu was not deaf to Liu Feng's words, his reaction was very cold.

However, although Yuan Shu looked cold on the surface, he was actually happy in his heart.

After all, transporting grain is a lucrative position.

If he wanted to, he could even secretly take some of the grain and grass from various princes and transport it back to his own territory.

And if you are at odds with someone, you can also secretly deduct the other party's food and grass.

If he wins the battle, he, as a grain transport officer, will naturally work hard and achieve great results. Even if he fails, he will have nothing to lose.

So Yuan Shu still likes this task very much.

However, due to Yuan Shu's petty character, Liu Feng appointed Yuan Shao as the vanguard, which made Yuan Shu very dissatisfied.

He was very afraid. If Yuan Shao really got off to a good start as Liu Feng said and successfully won the first victory in breaking through Hulao Pass, this was not what Yuan Shu wanted to see.

After all, the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng, is old, and the next head of the family has yet to be decided. The performance of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in this battle against Dong Zhuo will most likely become the decisive factor.

Therefore, Yuan Shu decided to use his power as grain officer to hold back Yuan Shao and cause him to be defeated.
