Of course, not everyone was as indifferent as he was. There were also some Blood Warriors in the Duke of Guandong, such as Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao still had a bit of passion, he had always regarded himself as a loyal subject, and wholeheartedly wanted to revive the Han family.
Dong Zhuo's army had snatched the emperor away, and they were even swaggering off. Of course, Cao Cao was not willing to just let things go like that. Especially when he heard that Dong Zhuo had looted the royalty's Chieftain s and set them on fire. Cao Cao's blood was about to be set on fire, so he hurriedly suggested to Yuan Shao, the Alliance Master.
"We raised the draft soldier to kill the Dong Zou. Now that the army has gathered, why would the Centaur General still be suspicious? This is precisely the time when the heavens bestow upon us the chance to destroy Dong Zhuo. If we were to take action immediately, then this battle would be able to determine the world under the heavens, we really shouldn't have lost such a good opportunity … "
However, Yuan Shao remained unmoved. His cultivation was good, his face did not show any sign of emotions, Dong Zhuo could not burn the Luoyang, nor snatch the big families, they did not seem to have much to do with him. Although Dong Zhuo had once killed his uncle and his entire family, he was so angry that his teeth had ached.
"Don't be in such a hurry …" Although we have more than two hundred thousand soldiers, you should know that they have not gone through a battle formation yet, so they can't go up to the battle formation … Even though Dong Zhuo had moved to the Chang'an, he and his army were still in the Luoyang, so they were both quite strong. If he wants to fight, then let Yang Lin fight. He has such a powerful army, why does he not cross the Yellow River? "
After conversing with Yuan Shao for a long time but not touching him, Cao Cao could not help but leave Yuan Shao's Big Account angrily. He really did not understand, why did Yuan Shao, who acted as a sacrifice to oppose Dong Zhuo, lose all blood?
Cao Cao immediately went to look for CHENLU COUNTY Zhang Miao, hoping to get his support. Although he currently had the title of General Yue Wu, he was still under the taiwai, and he still had to rely on Zhang Miao for food and equipment.
"Lord Taishang, Dong Zhuo has moved to the capital not to retreat, but to occupy control of the entire fortress. To guard the stronghold's danger, as well as the firmness of the eight stages of Luoyang, is bound to become a great calamity to the world. Today is the day Dong Zhuo is moving to the capital, the day we are going to attack him. If we don't attack him now, once he succeeds in moving to the Chang'an, he will definitely live in hatred for us for a thousand years! "
The Royal Elder Zheng Tai had once said that Zhang Miao was a loyal elder who would not even look around when he sat in the hall. Zheng Tai was quite accurate when he saw what was happening. Cao Cao tried to advise him otherwise for a long time, but Zhang Miao actually did not even blink. Even when a few beautiful singing girls walked in front of the Big Account, Zhang Miao still furrowed his brows and sighed.
"We have to consider this matter carefully!"
Coming out of Zhang Miao's Big Account, Cao Cao wished he could find a place to cry. It could be said that he had no selfish thoughts about repaying the country. Why was it that no one supported him? Furthermore, Dong Zhuo had moved to the capital in a hurry, and was currently in a weakened state.
Cao Cao's heart was in extreme pain. He had already felt it, the current Duke of Guandong was no longer the burly man's subordinate. From the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu burning the palace, Dong Zhuo entering the capital, the emperor who crippled the emperor without authorization, starting the army, all the way to Dong Zhuo burning the Luoyang and forcefully moving the capital, the prestige of the Darky Court was already gone, who would still care about the Darky Court?
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers, had secretly appointed the officials and generals of History of the Spider and General level, and no longer put the imperial government in their eyes. They did not care about Dong Zhuo burning Luoyang to ashes, if Dong Zhuo were to kill Emperor Liu Xie, it would fit their hearts even better.
All the dukes realized that, whether they wanted to or not, the great chaos of the world had already begun, just as it had been in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, or the last years of the Western Han Dynasty. In this chaotic period of time, justice was nothing but bullshit. Strength was everything. How to preserve their strength was their top priority.
Given Cao Cao's intelligence, he had long since seen this point. But he was different from them. He had no territory, no population, no food, and he was basically a member of the Third Division. He only had a restless heart, and he had to fight to get what he wanted.
As for those dukes, they had vested interests, and they now had all that they deserved. They could completely defend their lands and calmly observe the changes in the world. Those who had ambitions could fight for the world, while those who didn't had ambitions could only wait to join the strong. They were not willing to follow Cao Cao and risk everything.
Just as Cao Cao was feeling gloomy, he suddenly thought of two people, namely Su Bei Ping, taiwai Gongsun Zan and West Liaoning. Although they had their own territory, their territory had already been taken away by Yang Lin, and they were no different from him.
Immediately, Cao Cao personally went to find taiwai Gongsun Zan from the Right North Plains and invited them to his tent to drink. Cao Cao also realized that just by talking, it would not be enough. What needed to be spent would be spent, and this round of wine must definitely be invited.
Since it was already common for nobles to treat themselves to other's food, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei did not hesitate and directly went to attend the banquet. Halfway there, the two of them were muttering to themselves, Cao Tuo Zi had never invited anyone before, why did he suddenly show such kindness today?
It was only until they arrived at the Big Account s that Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei realized that Cao Cao had only invited the two of them. Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei could not help but be disappointed, it seemed that they could only drink for a while, they could not possibly watch Cao Tuo Zi brandish his sword, right?
Fortunately, Cao Cao was still willing to drink his wine, and kept urging Gongsun Zan and the others to drink. After drinking a few cups, Cao Cao started to flatter Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei. From their recruitment to them fighting against Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, they praised them as unparalleled generals.
"Now we have the Hussar General Yang Lin in the north, the General Yuan Shu in the south, and the Guandong Allied Army in the east. At this moment, he is hastily moving to the Chang'an to avoid our great army. The defenses of the different stages of the Luoyang is bound to be empty, I want to attack the Ying Yang and our battle will depend on the world. Would the two of you like to participate? We will build a unique skill together! "
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei's hands that were holding the wine cup stopped in midair and they were unable to react for a long time. Okay... No wonder the Cao Tuo Zi invited them to drink. Isn't this deadly? The Cao Tuo Zi's wine was truly not tasty!
"General Xin Wu, you might have heard that after we left the Youzhou, Yang Lin had already sent troops to take over the two counties, and had even ordered for Guo Tong and Huo Lang to obstruct our return route. "Now we have no food, no pay, and we fight with anything?" "" "" "" "No, no.
Gongsun Zan put down his wine cup and finally regained his calm. Originally, they had come to Chen Liu to suppress Dong Zhuo with hot-bloodedness, but they did not expect Yang Lin to cut off their path of retreat. These days, he was still feeling depressed, he didn't have the mood to attack Dong Zhuo at all.
"Wah …" General Man Wu … Why don't you give us some pointers... Was there such a thing in the world? We came here to suppress Dong Zhuo in response to the Three Great Chiefs' edict, what crime is this? Why did he, Yang Lin, want to cut off our retreat? He was relying on his strength to bully others … General Man Wu … You have to help us... How about you lend us some grain? "
Liu Bei immediately started crying, the continuous stream of tears was like the surging Yellow River, to the point where all the alcohol he drank just now turned into tears. Liu Bei cried very miserably, his voice was hoarse and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Cao Cao's vision went black, and he almost fainted. However, his head was in extreme pain, and it turned out that he had gotten another migraine. He had wanted to ask the two of them to help him out, but they had come to him to cry about his poverty. No matter what, they were village men who were recruited using public funds, while he, himself, was selling off his family property and borrowing from the east or west, when he thought of how he was poorer than them, Cao Cao could not help but sniff and almost cry out.
"Someone, come …" "Hurry up and send the guests off."
After sending off Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, Cao Cao was so angry in his heart … He did not manage to get a helper to treat him, and he even poured himself a cup of wine! If the Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan brothers or the Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers found out, they would definitely blame him. Normally, they wouldn't be willing to let them drink it, but it would be a waste of others.
Right now, Cao Cao was stuck between a rock and a hard place, even if others were unwilling to go, he alone had no power, nor did he dare to go! Xu Rong, who was stationed in Ying Yang, had 50,000 troops under his command, and he himself only had 5,000 soldiers. Yesterday, they were farmers, and had just washed their feet and went ashore.
But if he didn't go, he'd surely make the dukes laugh, and give them a hard time as well … After the incident, someone asked if Cao Cao went? How did Cao Cao answer that? Did he answer them? Oh, good you Cao Tuo Zi! The short one was short and had a belly full of twists and turns! You, on the other hand, are quite capable. Why don't you go yourself by telling others to go beat you up and throw your life away? What kind of evil intentions did he have?
Cao Cao was in a dilemma, and his migraine started to become worse. It hurt so much that he started to yell on the bed, finally alerting Xia Hou Sheng, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, the Cao Hong brothers. They ran into Cao Cao's Big Account and asked together, causing Cao Cao to feel even more embarrassed. Cao Cao made up his mind and passionately said it out loud.
"The Duke of Guandong is mediocre and mediocre, none of them are willing to shoulder the heavy burden. Now that Dong Zhuo has set fire to the Luoyang and moved to the capital, it is precisely the time for us to use our troops. However, all they did was drink and have fun, waiting for the lightning to strike in the sky and kill Dong Zhuo, not a single one of them was willing to send their troops. I want to be brave and bear the weight of the law, break into the high. If he could break Cheng Gao. When dukes saw that killing Dong Zhuo was fine, they would definitely swarm over. They would lock down the Luoyang and protect the strong for four hundred years. What do you think? "
The Xia Hou brothers, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were all cousins of Cao Cao, they had such a strong sense of trust in him, what else could they say? Wherever Cao Cao told them to attack, they would attack. They would never ask him why, only after fighting.
Wei Zi who was also hanging onto the tent of Chen Liu taiwai heard that Cao Cao was going to attack Dong Zhuo, so he immediately went forward to request for Zhang Miao's help. However, Zhang Miao had already made up his mind, and was not willing to involve Cao Cao in the battle at all. No matter how hard Wei Zi tried to persuade him, he was only met with a rejection by Zhang Miao.
At this time, Cao Cao had already hired thousands of soldiers, and all of them were recruited by Wei Zi. Seeing that Zhang Miao was not willing to help Cao Cao, Wei Zi had no choice but to ask for his permission to help Cao Cao. All of the soldiers that Wei Zi was leading were personally recruited by Wei Zi. Although Zhang Miao had the name of being in charge, he did not have the authority to order them around.
