As Wang Kuang, governor of Henei County, suggested dividing the alliance into two groups, north and south, a commotion and discussion began to arise in the big tent.

People like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Ding Yuan were all eager to try.

However, inside the big tent, several people frowned. Li Shimin, who was standing behind Li Li, and Liu Bei, who was sitting at the end, both frowned.

“Alas, the princes have just gathered together as an alliance, and some people want to fight for fame and fortune.”

Liu Bei sighed softly, but Guan Yu who was standing behind him heard it.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Li, who was still standing still in the front row.

Guan Yu still has a very good impression of the Li family.

In Guan Yu’s view, although there are many princes in the world, many of them come from famous families.

But the one who truly deserves respect is undoubtedly Li Li.

“What the governor of Henei County said is right. I think it is just right to divide the princes into two groups, the northern and the southern. We can attack Dong Zhuo from several directions at the same time. I agree to select two groups of princes.”

As soon as Wang Kuang, the governor of Henei County, finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and shouted,
Everyone looked quickly and saw that it was none other than Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi.

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Cai Mao, who led the troops from Jingzhou, also said, “We should divide our forces into north and south and attack Dong Zhuo at the same time. This way, the army can be as effective as possible.”

All the princes, hearing the three princes say this at the same time, began to discuss and nod.

“I also agree to divide the princes into two groups.”

At this time, Xuzhou Mu Ding Yuan also spoke in a deep voice.

When Ding Yuan spoke, the voices of the princes in the big tent became much quieter. Compared with the historical Ding Yuan, the current Ding Yuan is more powerful in both reputation and influence.

This makes a sound.

At the same time, several princes suddenly realized something.

Yang Biao, the governor of Jizhou, who was sitting in the front row, frowned slightly and suddenly realized that Ding Yuan might also have ideas about the position of alliance leader.

Yang Biao couldn’t help but look at Li Li who was sitting in front of him, stroked his beard and smiled:

“The governor of Youzhou has been through hundreds of battles and has rich experience on the battlefield. Now most of the princes think that two alliance leaders should be established. What does the governor of Youzhou think about establishing two alliance leaders, the northern and southern alliance leaders?”

Yang Biao asked Li Li about his attitude with a smile.

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion ravaged Jizhou, he had just become the governor of Jizhou. It was quite difficult for him to deal with the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou. It was only because Li Hong wiped out the Yellow Turbans that he was able to smoothly sit on the post of governor of Jizhou.

Yang Biao still has great respect for the Li family.

Now that Li Li has arrived as the head of the Li family, Yang Biao has become closer to Li Li.

Yang Biao questioned Li Li, causing all the princes in the big tent to look at Li Li.

Li Li is the leader of the Li family, and Yang Biao is the governor of Jizhou, one of the major states of the Han Dynasty. They are both important and their attitudes are both important. Li Li stroked his beard, met everyone’s gaze, smiled slightly, and said: “The princes’ coalition forces are indeed too many. Dividing them into two routes, north and south, can maximize the advantages of the alliance’s military strength. I think the governor of this state can be divided into two routes!”

Li Li was unexpectedly easy to talk to and actually agreed, which surprised Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Ding Yuan and others, but also made them very happy.

However, Li Cunxiao, who was standing next to Li Li, was quite anxious and tugged at Li Li’s clothes.

In Li Cunxiao’s view, the Li family has a high reputation and is the number one family in the world. Now they are leading the army to fight against Dong Zhuo and should be the leader of the coalition.

Now, how can we give away the leader of the alliance?
But Li Li ignored the anxiety of Li Cunxiao, the young grandfather.

Although Yang Biao was somewhat surprised by Li Li’s attitude, he admired Li Li’s vision even more and said with a smile:
“Since the governor of Youzhou thinks that the troops can be divided, the governor of this state also agrees to divide them into two routes, the northern and southern. The governor of Youzhou used to punish the tribes on the grassland and had great military exploits. The governor of this state supports the governor of Youzhou as the leader of the northern route. Jizhou also belongs to the north, and I am willing to lead the army to serve in the northern route.”

Yang Biao agreed to divide the troops and directly supported Li Li as the leader of the northern route.

Yang Biao’s words caused a commotion among the people in the big tent, but no one stood up to object to Li Li becoming the leader of the Northern Allied Forces. Instead, they all nodded.

“Youzhou Mu should be the leader of the northern route. I agree!”

“I agree too. With Youzhou Mu as the leader of the northern route, I’m afraid Dong Zhuo will definitely station a large number of troops in the northern part of Luoyang, haha.”

Inside the big tent, all the princes agreed with Li Li as the leader of the northern route, and there was almost no opposition.

Li Li stood up, bowed to the princes, and said loudly:
“Since all the princes believe that Li is capable of leading the northern coalition forces, then Li will not refuse. We must capture Luoyang and kill the traitor!”

Compared to Li Li ten years ago, Li Li is much calmer now.

“it is good!”

The princes cheered loudly.

“Then who will be the leader of the southern coalition? I recommend the son of Yuan Shao, the governor of Yingchuan County. Yuan Shao is the heir of the Yuan family. The Yuan family has had three officials in four generations. His students and former officials are spread all over the world. If he makes a call from a high place, the momentum against Dong will surely be huge!” Wang Kuang, the prefect of Henei County, immediately stood up and said loudly.

“I support Master Yuan Shu as the leader of the Southern Alliance. Master Yuan Shu is the direct descendant of the Yuan family.”

“I think the governor of Xuzhou is the most qualified to be the leader of the Southern Alliance. The governor of Dingzhou killed Dong Zhuo’s general, and everyone in the world knows it!”

Inside the big tent, a group of princes stood up and recommended the leader of the Southern Coalition Army. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan were the most popular, and several princes voted for them.

Amid the chaotic quarrel in the big tent, Yuan Shao ultimately won over Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan because he had the most supporters.

However, Yuan Shao secretly won the support of the commanders of the three armies in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou.

Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan were so angry that their mouths were almost crooked.

However, the leaders of the northern and southern coalition forces were decided.

Yuan Shao and Li Li led all the princes and swore an oath of blood on the Suanzao Terrace. They each led 300,000 troops and attacked Luoyang from the north and south.

The news spread throughout the country, with Suanzao as the center, and all states in the world were shocked. (End of this chapter)
