Li Hong listened to Jia Xu’s suggestion that family members go to war, stroked his beard, and felt that it was feasible.

The ancients were naturally precocious.

The precocity of ancient people was manifested in their earlier assumption of family and social responsibilities.

Due to the low level of productivity, small population, and the influence of wars in ancient society, the government often encouraged early marriage and early childbearing to increase the population. Therefore, ancient women generally got married at the age of 13 or 14, and men got married between the ages of 15 and 20. This phenomenon of early marriage and early childbearing allowed ancient people to enter adult roles earlier psychologically and take on family and social responsibilities.

Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin and Li Wenzhong were all over ten years old, and they were all geniuses, so they were indeed ready to go out and gain some experience.

Thinking of this, Li Hong’s face became serious. He looked at the four young men, Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin, Li Wenzhong, and Zhou Yu, and said:
“If I send you to fight against the traitors, will you bring shame to the Li family?”

“Humph, if it brings shame to the Li family, then don’t go.”

Li Hong snorted.

However, when these words fell into the ears of Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin, Li Wenzhong and Zhou Yu, they were overjoyed.

Li Cunxiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said to Li Hong with excitement: “Don’t worry, father. I will never bring shame to the Li family!”

Li Shimin also said: “Father, this time we will not only lose face for the Li family, but also have the opportunity to greatly enhance our Li family’s reputation. I will work hard for the prosperity of the Li family.”

It has to be said that the way Li Shimin spoke was pleasant to Li Hong’s ears.

Li Wenzhong and Zhou Yu also expressed their opinions.

“Okay, in that case, then you all may join the army. However, you will not be qualified to lead the army. You will only assist from the side.” Li Hong said, stroking his gray beard.

“Thank you, father! Thank you, teacher!”

Li Cunxiao, Li Shimin, Li Wenzhong and Zhou Yu were very happy and all showed respect to Li Hong.

At this time, Huang Zhong, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zang Min, Yan Liang, Hua Xiong, Wang Lei, Ma Tie and other generals in the hall were all eager to fight and came out.

“My lord, I, Huang Zhong, am willing to serve as the vanguard!”

“My lord, I, Hua Xiong, invite you to fight!”

“My lord, I, General Wang Lei, would like to lead the grassland cavalry to fight together!”

All the generals were excited and asked for battle.

After all, as military commanders, they are valuable only if they kill enemies and make meritorious contributions. Especially now, the Han Dynasty is in a state of collapse and the future direction of power is unknown.

It is a good time for them to fight and make achievements.

Ke Bineng, who was sitting on the side, saw that Wang Lei and Ma Tie had both requested to fight. Although he was reluctant in his heart, he hurriedly said:
“Old General, Ke Bineng is willing to lead his cavalry to fight!”

Sitting at the main seat, Li Hong saw that all the generals wanted to fight, and nodded slightly, feeling that the army’s morale was high.

Li Hong waved his hand, and everyone retreated.

“The traitor Dong Zhuo dares to be so presumptuous, so he should be punished. However, the power of the Li family is not enough to sweep away the traitor who occupies the pass. Since all the princes want to rise up and form an alliance to punish Dong Zhuo, my Li family must participate.”

“I will not go with them. Let the Li family lead the army. Send a message to Li’er, and let him lead 30,000 Youzhou troops as the main general. Huang Zhong, Tian Yan, Hua Xiong, Ke Bineng, and Wang Lei will be the deputy generals. Guo Jia and Xun You will be the military advisors. They will bring 30,000 Bingzhou troops and 30,000 grassland cavalry, a total of 60,000 troops. After they meet up with Li’er, the entire army will have a total of 90,000 troops. Go to the alliance together!”

Li Hong looked at the generals and selected Huang Zhong, Tian Yan, Hua Xiong, Guo Jia, Xun You and others to go to the alliance.

I have to say that the lineup sent out by Li Hong is really luxurious.

But Li Hong didn’t want the Li family to lose face in front of the princes.

Of course, Li Hong understood even more clearly that this time the princes’ campaign against Dong would surely become famous throughout the world. In this case, Li Hong would naturally not miss this opportunity to flex the Li family’s muscles.

After the princes defeated Dong Zhuo, there was no doubt that the princes would fight for territory.

The Li family has become powerful, famous and renowned, and I’m afraid that all the weak princes will take the initiative to join them.

“promise!”

In the hall, hearing Li Hong’s order, everyone responded loudly to Li Hong in unison.

All the generals were happy, except Ke Bineng, who was in deep pain and forced himself to smile.

This battle also consumed Kebineng’s troops!

However, the Li family is powerful, so even if he has some small thoughts, he has to keep a low profile in front of the Li family.

The various princes led their troops and prepared to gather together.

Soon, You and Bing states issued a proclamation to the world, and the young men of the Li family brought an army of 150,000 to help the princes gather together to fight against the traitor Dong Zhuo!
The news spread across the country, shocking all the princes, and Dong Zhuo in Luoyang was terrified! (End of this chapter)
