Cao Cao rushed into the tent and when he saw Yuan Shao, he asked angrily: "Why did Yuan leader kill Liu Xian's envoy in vain?"

Yuan Shao was very unhappy when he saw Cao Cao talking to him in such a tone.

Said: "Does this alliance leader need your consent to kill a rebellious lackey?"

Yuan Shu, the thin man with a rat-like beard and face sitting at the front left, chuckled and said sarcastically: "Cao Mengde, make no mistake, you are not the leader of the coalition!"

Cao Cao ignored Yuan Shu and said to Yuan Shao: "Liu Xian sent an envoy here, hoping to join forces with our army to attack Dong Zhuo!"

"Liu Xian occupies Hanoi. If he gets his help, he can cross the Yellow River south and attack Luoyang directly!"

"Now Dong Zhuo's army is at Hulao 2 Pass in Sishui. If Liu Xian makes a surprise attack on Luoyang, he can defeat him in one battle. And if Luoyang is captured, the thieves at Hulao 2 Pass in Sishui will definitely be greatly motivated!"

"At that time, our army will take the opportunity to attack in an all-out manner. If we don't worry about being unable to completely wipe out the bandit army, then the great task of suppressing the bandits will be accomplished!"

"Not only did Yuan Alliance Leader give up such a great opportunity, he actually killed his envoy and pushed him to the side of the Dong thieves, making the situation unfavorable to us. Shouldn't I question it?"

Yuan Shao was speechless by what Cao Cao said, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Yuan Shu snorted and said: "Mengde, you are trying to make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige! How big of a storm can he cause as a small governor of Hanoi? Mengde, please stop making a sensation here!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he said: "Little prefect of Hanoi? Did you know that it was this little prefect of Hanoi who first defeated Lu Bu, who frightened the allied forces of our princes? Not long ago, he defeated Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang in a row, and even captured Shangdang County.

Got it!"

"I dare say that in today's world, there are only a handful of people who can stand up to this little governor! If he leads his army south, I really don't know how much interference it will cause to our great cause!"

Yuan Shu was greatly unconvinced and said angrily: "I really can't agree with Meng De's words! Then Liu Xian just has better luck than others!"

"Furthermore, it has just experienced a series of battles not long ago, and the losses must be very serious, so how can it have the ability to interfere in our major affairs!"

"If he doesn't come, that's it. If he dares to come, I, Yuan Shu, will lead his army to destroy him personally! Meng De, just be relieved!"

Yuan Shaoshen nodded with approval and said: "That's true! Furthermore, Liu Xian is a lackey of Dong's thieves. If we let him go so easily, wouldn't it be impossible to deter the rebellious people in the world?

?”

"I have already thought about this matter carefully. Meng De, why do you care so much about people like Liu Xian!"

Cao Cao felt depressed and felt that the Yuan brothers were just a pair of idiots. He really wanted to scold each other and walk away.

But Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.

He frowned and said: "The matter has come to this, even if we want to restore it, I'm afraid Liu Xian won't believe us. In this case, we have to destroy him in one fell swoop."

He clasped his fists towards Yuan Shao and said, "Please ask Alliance Leader Yuan to send an order to send some troops to go north to Hanoi County and defeat Liu Xian in one fell swoop when he is still defenseless!"

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face.

Yuan Shu sneered and said: "Since Meng De cares so much about that little prefect, why not let Meng De's troops go north to Hanoi to deal with him."

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Okay. But I need reinforcements from at least two princes."

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "I'm afraid this won't work. Who would be willing to divide the troops in Hanoi at the moment when the barrier is about to be broken?"

Then he said mockingly: "Mengde has 30,000 soldiers and horses, are he still afraid that he can't deal with a mere Liu Xian?"

Cao Cao was furious, pointed at Yuan Shu and yelled: "A straight son is not enough to make a plan!"

Yuan Shu was furious and stood up, pointing at Cao Cao and scolding: "You eunuch dare to talk to me like this after being so embarrassed!"

Cao Cao's face darkened, and Cao Ren, who was standing behind Cao Cao, immediately stepped forward, unsheathed his long sword and pointed it directly at Yuan Shu, with murderous intent pouring out immediately.

Yuan Shu was shocked and turned pale. He subconsciously retreated to avoid it. He tripped and fell to the ground with a thud, looking extremely embarrassed.

Yuan Shao slapped the table and shouted: "That's enough!"

Cao Ren paid no attention to Yuan Shao, his eyes were still glaring coldly at Yuan Shu who fell to the ground with a frightened look on his face, and he showed no intention of taking back the sharp sword in his hand.

Cao Cao pressed down Cao Ren's arm, clasped his fist towards Yuan Shao and said, "Alliance leader, if you underestimate Liu Xian, it will definitely bring unimaginable consequences. Please warn me, alliance leader!"

Then he turned around and left.

Cao Ren sheathed his sword and followed Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao watched Cao Cao leave with a very ugly expression.

Yuan Shu got up from the ground and said angrily: "Then Cao Cao is so arrogant in front of the leader of the alliance. He clearly doesn't take you seriously, leader of the alliance!"

Yuan Shao snorted, looked at Yuan Shu, and said angrily: "After you said that Cao Cao was an eunuch, Cao Cao will naturally be angry!"

Cao Cao led Cao Ren back to his tent, pacing back and forth thinking.

Cao Ren couldn't help but said: "My Lord, if Yuan Shao doesn't listen to his advice, why should you bother with him!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Why should I bother about him?"

"However, we have to worry about this major event at present! The eighteen princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo has attracted the attention of the world. If we give up halfway, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Cao Ren couldn't help but said: "My lord, now that the barrier is about to be broken, what can Liu Xian do?"

Cao Cao chuckled and said: "I have met countless people in my life, but this Brother Liu makes me afraid! I have a feeling that this Brother Liu may be the key to the success or failure of this battle!"

Cao Ren disapproved in his heart, but he did not dare to refute, saying: "My lord, as Yuan Shu said, no one is willing to attack Hanoi at this time. Is it possible for our family to attack Hanoi? I'm just afraid..."

Cao Cao stopped, looked at Cao Ren, and asked with a smile: "What? Do you think we will fail?"

Cao Rendao: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that our family may not be able to win Hanoi. If not,..."

Cao Cao continued: "If we don't do it right, the whole army will be wiped out."

Sighing, "Of course I know this. It's hateful that there are so many princes, everyone is only interested in their own selfish interests, and no one thinks about the overall situation at all!"

Cao Ren smiled and said: "At least there is someone who thinks about the overall situation, and that is you, my lord!"

Cao Cao was stunned, laughed, patted Cao Ren on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zixiao's words are suspected of being flattering!"

Cao Ren smiled and said: "I speak from the bottom of my heart!"

Cao Cao smiled, and his face became heavy again when he thought about Liu Xian.

Said: "Although I can't attack Hanoi, I can take some precautions."

Then he walked to the sheepskin map hanging on the side of the big tent, looked at it for a moment, pointed to a small ferry more than twenty miles east of Hulao Pass, and said: "Here, if Liu Xian wants to participate in this battle,
Chapter completed!
