How many troops did the eighteen vassals have in total?
Cao Yan wasn't sure about this, but he knew that each dukedom had their own troops.
The lowest was five or six thousand like Old Cao, and the highest was ten or twenty thousand.
In total, there were at least 200,000 soldiers.
The Niu Fu army outside Pinghao City only had thirty thousand men at most.
Cao Yan had thought that he would be able to defeat them all the way, but in the end, he had opened his eyes.
As the alliance leader, Yuan Shao learned of this news.
The first thing he did was to have the vanguard troops confront Niu Fu.
Then, he brought the various dukes to the front of the formation to inspect.
Cao Yan, who was following behind Old Cao, understood everything.
What the f * ck was a true mob?
Outside Pinghao City, the Western Liang Army was in a neat formation.
His armor and equipment were even more exquisite, and he did not panic at all.
Cao Yan was slightly surprised.
Cao Yan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. It was a perfect interpretation.
What was a motley crew?
Although there were many of them, they were still fighting for themselves.
The military formations of each side were clearly divided.
Sometimes, there would even be friction over the position of the army.
"Hiss."
"I didn't expect the Western Liang Army led by that old bastard Dong Zhuo to be so well-trained.”
"Yeah, this is tricky."
"The troops under my command have been out of formation for a long time. I'm afraid they're not his match.”
"I only brought 8,000 people, but the other party has 30,000 people.”
Cao Yan's head hurt when he heard that.
These people added up to 200,000 to 300,000.
They had only encountered the vanguard of the Western Liang army, and they were already retreating?
He had read in the history books that the alliance army was unstoppable at the beginning.
It was probably this group of people who bragged about it for the sake of face, right?
At this moment, Yuan Shao's face was also filled with black lines.
As the alliance leader, he was in the most awkward situation.
Yuan Shu, who was standing at the side, was laughing at him. The various dukes were also worried about losing their strength.
They did not dare to fight and wanted to break the deadlock.
afraid
Yuan Shao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he turned his head to look at Old Cao.
When Cao Yan saw this, he knew that things were going to be bad.
As expected, Yuan Shao restrained his expression.
With a righteous look, he said in a deep voice,
"Everyone, this is the first battle of the alliance army.”
"If we were to be defeated, or if we are afraid of fighting, wouldn't we be laughed at by the world?”
As soon as he said this, all the dukes present fell silent.
It was simply a direct hit to their vital points, directly hitting everyone's faces.
If he lost, he would not be the only one who would be laughed at.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yuan Shao continued to speak with confidence.
"That Niu Fu only has thirty thousand men.”
"I sent my general Gao Lan to lead eight thousand men into battle.”
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Yuan Shao's meaning was already very obvious. He, as the alliance leader, had already made a move.
If anyone did not give this face, then they would really become enemies.
Old Cao, who had already received Yuan Shao's gaze earlier, also spoke up with a hot-blooded voice at this moment.
"Alliance Lord, I am willing to send all my troops to help.”
"I swear to break the rebel army. I won't return it until I break it!"
"Good!"
Yuan Shao's eyes lit up as he agreed in a low voice.
He immediately felt that he had not misjudged her.
Cao Mengde really trusted him.
With Old Cao and Yuan Shao's double act, even if the various vassals were unwilling.
At this moment, he could only agree. You bid 3,000, I bid 5,000.
Cao Yan held back his urge to speak. He really wanted to ask.
Are you here to fight, or are you here to take the money?
Each and every one of them looked cautious, as if they were afraid that they would pay more than others.
At this moment, Cao Yan felt that even if he were to tie a dog to him.
He could probably call out twice more than these dukes.
