All the princes gathered near Luoyang and set up camp two hundred miles away from Luoyang. When Zuo Aoran quickly led the army to arrive, Cao Cao even came out of the camp to greet him. Zuo Aoran ordered the soldiers to camp at a good place by the northwest river.
Then they chatted with Cao Cao. The relationship between the two was pretty good. After a few polite words, Cao Cao pulled Zuo Aoran to the camp. This made Zuo Aoran very surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. Cao Cao always did this.
Win people's hearts.
Cao Cao said happily: "Cao and Yunlong were separated for more than a few years, but Cao missed him very much. Every time he thought about Yunlong's crusade against the Yellow Turbans, he still vividly remembered them."
Zuo Aoran hurriedly smiled and said in return: "Brother Meng De laughed at me. Ran has never forgotten Brother Meng De in recent years. We haven't seen him for several years, but Brother Meng De still has the same style. It's really gratifying. I learned about Brother Meng De this time."
In this crusade against Dong Zhuo, Ran has come to help." Zuo Aoran never called Dong Zhuo a traitor or a traitor in front of others, in order to warn himself that Dong Zhuo was his savior.
"Hahaha... I have Brother Yunlong to help me, but I am afraid that the old thief Dong Zhuo will not succeed. Come, come, come, let's go to the tent and chat." Cao Cao pulled Zuo Aoran to the military tent. When the two came in,
, in the big tent, five or six people had already taken their seats. Zuo Aoran took a look and found that except for one Yuan Shao, he didn't recognize the rest.
Fortunately, Cao Cao was here and hurriedly pulled Zuo Aoran to introduce him. It turns out that these people are all princes from all walks of life. They are all princes who arrived first, including Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu, the governor of Xuzhou, Zhang Miao, Zhang Mengzhuo, the governor of Chenliu, and Bao, the prime minister of Jibei.
Xin Bao Yuncheng, Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi Yuan Boye, Jizhou Governor Han Fu Han Wenjie, etc.
When Cao Cao introduced Zuo Aoran to everyone, everyone had different expressions. After Zuo Aoran sat down, all the princes were drinking and chatting. Those who were enthusiastic came to say hello and chat with Zuo Aoran.
There were also some who were polite and friendly, and of course there were also arrogant ones who didn't treat Zuo Aoran disrespectfully. There were even some who didn't even look at Zuo Aoran, as if Zuo Aoran had offended him.
"I really didn't expect that a busy man like Brother Yunlong could come. I missed seeing Luoyang so much when I said goodbye. When I think of Brother Yunlong's literary talents, I was deeply impressed." Yuan Shao sat aside and smiled at Zuo Aoran and said,
Then he praised Zuo Aoran's literary talent in front of everyone, but never mentioned his martial arts or anything.
Sitting aside, Zuo Aoran thought to himself: "Now I am leading troops to attack Dong Zhuo, but you are complimenting me on my literary talent. Isn't this looking down on me? It is clear that I am a scholar who is useless. I am really angry."
Damn me, don’t people in the world recognize my position as marshal? I really want Yuan Shao to see how powerful I am if I have time!!!”
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Zuo Aoran sometimes answered a few words, and the rest of the time he chatted with Cao Cao and Tao Qian on both sides. Cao Cao brought him in just now, but Tao Qian was the only one who treated him politely and warmly, and even praised Yuan Shao for his literary talent.
At that time, everyone was laughing. Only Cao Cao and Tao Qian did not smile, so Zuo Aoran was very friendly with them.
Just as everyone was chatting for a few words, a soldier hurried in. Cao Cao stared and asked, "Why are you so panicked?!" The soldier hurriedly reported that it turned out that two armies in the northwest were fighting for the camp outside the camp.
The two armies were quarreling and even going to fight, so the soldiers came over immediately to report.
Zuo Aoran on the side heard this, wasn't it the place where he sent his troops to camp in the northwest? How could there be a fight? Zuo Aoran stood up and saluted: "I'm sorry, everyone, the place where we camp in the northwest is my Zuo family."
Wherever the army sets up camp, he will return as soon as he leaves."
After Zuo Aoran finished speaking, he walked out without asking which princes along the way were fighting with his army. When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly followed him. This time he asked Zuo Aoran to come. If he showed up,
There are three advantages and two disadvantages, but I am no longer a human being inside and out.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting on the side, also stood up and said with a smile: "We might as well go out and see what is going on here." Yuan Shao smiled again, as if watching the fun, and went to Cao Cao and Zuo Ao first.
Ran left in the direction he left.
Everyone said nothing and followed Yuan Shao with the intention of watching a good show. Among them, only Tao Qian frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but when he saw that everyone had left, he had no choice but to shake his head and follow him.
At this time, the river in the northwest was filled with dust. A large area was filled with people, at least sixty or seventy thousand people. Of course, many of them were watching the excitement. Only the two sides were watching eagerly. They were divided into two positions.
The flag on one side is the word "Zuo" surrounded by flags, and on the other side is the word "Yuan". Needless to say, the side with the word "Zuo" must be the Zuo family army under Zuo Aoran, and the other side is none other than Yuan Shao.
The follow-up troops and horses (disclaimer: Yuan Shaoxian came first with hundreds of personal soldiers, and the follow-up troops have just arrived).
The two armies fought for nothing else but the land in front of them. Zuo Aoran originally ordered Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Dian Jie, Ouyang Lie and others to camp the army here. Unfortunately, Zuo Jiajun
Less than half an hour after setting up camp, Yuan Shao's 30,000-strong army arrived. Yuan Shao's army saw that only Zuo Aoran's side had better terrain and was close to the water source. Seeing that the other side was Zuo Aoran's army, Yuan Shao's army was originally
He didn't like him very much, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to let him leave, but Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Dian Jie, Ouyang Lie and others would just leave at that moment. The men in Yuan Shao's army were not only beaten to pieces, but also directly bombed.
When they came out, the generals under Yuan Shao's command became furious after learning about this incident, and directly led their army over to confront Zuo Aoran's Zuo family army.
"Call your lord out and say something. Why did you injure our soldiers?" A general of Yuan Shao's army sat on horseback and pointed a spear at Zuo's army.
"Your grandpa, these guys still dare to slander others. It's obvious that they came to cause trouble in the first place. They are not as skilled as others and yet they dare to come over and make trouble. Let me go up and show him some color!" Liu Hu yelled while urging his horse forward.
When Liu Quan saw it, he hurriedly grabbed Liu Hu and said: "Fourth brother, please be patient. Now the two military advisors, Zhu Ci's second brother, and General Xu Chu are going to explore the terrain. We should all calm down. I will send someone to ask for instructions first."
Ninth Brother." Without Zuo Aoran's order, Liu Hu and others did not dare to mess around. After all, this is not Youzhou or Jizhou, and the other party is not Dong Zhuojun. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible.
"What else are you calling him! That guy is not tall and has no ability, but he still dares to be domineering and point guns at us. I have long been unhappy with him, so I should go and teach him a lesson first." The other party kept insulting him.
, Liu Hu had a fiery temper and could not stand it, so he wanted to give the other party some color to show off, in order to promote Zuo Jiajun and his reputation as a powerful general.
Just when Liu Hu was about to fight, Zuo Aoran and others rushed over. Seeing Liu Hu who was about to fight, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Dianjie, Ouyang Lie, Liu Quan and others saw Zuo Ao.
Ran came back and acted in unison with the 35,000-strong army. He saluted Zuo Aoran: "My lord (ninth brother, ninth brother, marshal)!"
