Yuan Shao looked at Yang Hong in front of him in surprise, and asked in surprise: "How is the injury?"
Yang Hong sighed: "The injury is quite serious. One leg is broken and cannot move. I will need to stay in bed for at least several months."
Yuan Shaochang sighed: "How could you be so careless? When he was in Luoyang, he raced all day long, but he didn't see any damage, but he did it at this critical moment!"
Yang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, when he was in Luoyang, Yuan Yangzhou was driving and driving when he was in good health. The reason why he fell off his horse now is because Yuan Yangzhou was infected with wind and cold and was suffering from illness, which affected his riding ability."
Skills, talents... alas!"
"This road is so careless."
Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly and said: "In that case, then go back and bring a message to Yuan so that he can be well and nursed back to health. He won't need to worry about the battle on the front line."
"yes."
"You just stay in my camp for a day while I order people to prepare some supplements and medicinal materials. You can take them back to Shouchun so that you can take good care of my brother. After I have done my loyalty to the country and eliminated the traitors, I will go to Shouchun in person.
Visit him."
Yang Hong thought that Yuan Benchu was indeed a model for the world. The way he behaved in this way was really heart-warming. It could be said that he was well-rounded in all aspects. In comparison, Yuan Shu was far behind him in this regard.
At this time, Yuan Shao's commander had gathered six prefects who came to join him for an alliance.
At this moment, after listening to Yuan Shao's words, they were all filled with emotion.
Yuan Benchu deserves to be a model for the world. Every move reveals his benevolence and righteousness, and he is a true hero.
Yang Hong thanked Yuan Shao and went down immediately.
After Yang Hong went out, he heard Qiao Mao say to Yuan Shao: "At first, Dalu could not lead his troops to join the alliance. It was really a big loss for us. The Xiliang army is a good fighter. Although we are many
, However, each army has not experienced many battles, and they may not gain much advantage in fighting against the Liangzhou Army."
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Our sergeants are not as good at fighting as the Xiliang army. This matter cannot be solved for a while. The most urgent task is to contact the prefects and ministers so that more heroes can join our army to fight against thieves and expand the strength of the allied forces."
."
Qiao Mao said: "Actually, among all the governors in the world, there are quite a few people who care about us. However, after all, they have not received clear orders, so they dare not make mistakes."
Yuan Shao looked at him with a smile: "Since Yuan Wei knows this, he already has a solution in mind, right?"
Qiao Mao smiled and said, "I'll do my best."
In fact, Qiao Rui's idea was relatively simple, that is, to secretly execute the imperial edict in the name of the emperor and the Queen Mother He.
Such things as false edicts cannot deceive others, but for most princes and pastors who want to challenge Dong, they need an official name. Even if they know it is fake, as long as there is such a thing in front of them, they dare to
Dry.
As for the follow-up, if the court comes up with evidence to say that they are acting under the imperial edict, they will only say that they are blind, mistakenly believe in evil people, and are not sincerely treasonous.
After Yuan Shao discussed with Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai and others for a while, he asked them to leave first, reorganize their troops, and wait for his other allies to arrive to worship heaven and earth together.
After everyone left, Cao Cao was the only one left in the commander's tent.
Cao Cao said to the outside world that he fled Luoyang and came to the place to gather with the princes to fight against Dong. In fact, when he was in Luoyang, he had both sides and served Dong Zhuo on his knees, which earned Dong Zhuo's appreciation.
As a eunuch, Cao Cao was backed by the Cao family in Qiao County, which made Dong Zhuo feel that he was someone he could win over.
After all, the other party was a eunuch and a heterogeneous member of the noble clan.
In Dong Zhuo's view, he and himself were the same kind of people.
Therefore, in line with the principle of showing sympathy to those who share the same problem, Dong Zhuo appointed Cao Cao as Shanyang Prefect and sent him to other places along with other famous party officials recruited by him, hoping to win over people's hearts.
But unfortunately, Dong Zhuo's plan failed.
Cao Cao, like Han Fu, Zhang Miao, Wang Fen, Kong Min and others who were appointed by Dong Zhuo, immediately fell out with Dong Zhuo and defected to the allies of his old friend Yuan Shao as soon as they took up their posts.
Cao Cao, who joined the Allied Forces, also became Yuan Shao's most trusted governor. As soon as everyone gathered, Yuan Shao immediately gave Cao Cao the title of General Fenwu.
General Fenwu, although he is a miscellaneous general in the army and does not have the ability to mobilize troops, he does have a special power.
Those who serve as Fenwu generals generally have the responsibility of supervising the army.
This is enough to show Yuan Shao's trust in Cao Cao and his importance to Cao Cao.
"Meng De, you said he... was seriously injured when he fell off his horse on the highway?"
Yuan Shao frowned and asked Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said nonchalantly: "The urgent matter now is not to worry about whether Yuan Jiujiu is injured, but to expand more allies."
Yuan Shao asked: "In Meng De's opinion, who should we continue to unite with?"
Cao Cao said: "After the death of Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, his subordinate Zhang Yang temporarily took over the governorship of Bingzhou. Zhu Cheqi had previously been ordered to go to the land of Sanhe to attack Heishan Zhang Niujiao who was harassing the local area. After his victory, he wanted to return to Luoyang, but
But I asked my father to write to him secretly, knowing the advantages and disadvantages, and asked him to temporarily camp in the Three Rivers area on the pretext that the bandits were not defeated. These two people will definitely play a role in containing Dong Zhuo in the north, and they must be won over! Especially Zhu Cheqi is
A famous general in the world! If he joins, the Allied forces will definitely gain momentum!"
Yuan Shao stroked his neatly trimmed beard and said, "I hope it will happen. Now Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen are trapped in Luoyang, and Lu Zhi has not responded. The only one who can count on me to strengthen my reputation in the military is Zhu Jun."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "That's right. There is also Chen Wang Liu Chong. I heard that during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was entangled with refugees in all directions. After the late emperor ordered the kings to open their own houses, he intensified his efforts and recruited soldiers. I expected this person
He has different ambitions... But this is a good thing. Such people must be thinking about chaos and eager to profit from chaos, so why not invite him to challenge Dong together? After all, he is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, which can increase our momentum!"
Yuan Shao said with satisfaction: "It's really a high theory."
Cao Cao added: "In addition, after the alliance, Cao asked to go to Danyang to recruit generals."
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this: "Why?"
Cao Cao said: "The people of Danyang Mountain, who travel through mountains and rivers as if they are walking on plain ground, are the best at fighting. Now that Dao Dao is ill and unable to take charge, I personally went to Danyang County to recruit a group of Danyang soldiers to help the front line. I can't say anything about Dao Dao... He himself doesn't
Come on, do you still have to worry about us going to Danyang to recruit troops? If the highway doesn't stop it, that's all. If he does, he must be pretending to be sick and not come to the alliance, so there is no theory!"
Yuan Shao thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the truth, so he said: "What Meng De said is true, so I'll trouble you to go to Danyang County! I'll write a letter later and ask Ayin to cooperate with you in Danyang.
Already."
"Thank you, leader."
When Yuan Shao heard Cao Cao's words of alliance leader, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
…
…
At this time, it was not just Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo who were raising troops. In Hebei, Liu Jian was also arranging troops and gathering elite soldiers.
But Liu Jian's purpose of dispatching elite soldiers was not for war.
He gathered three thousand elite armored men in Yecheng!
Under the sunlight, three thousand elites lined up on both sides of the road. The spears in their hands sparkled under the sunlight. Everyone stood upright, full of energy, and proud.
In the middle of the road between them, Liu Jian was riding a white horse, wearing scale armor and a long sword on his waist, looking heroic.
He was accompanied by two generals, Yan Liang and Zhao Yun.
Liu Jian rode his horse and stood outside the city, looking south, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, a scout Pegasus was seen galloping towards Liu Jian.
He hurriedly came to Liu Jian, got off his horse, and saluted Liu Jian.
"Coming?" Liu Jian asked him calmly.
"Here we come!" the scout said with certainty.
"How far?"
"We're walking very slowly, I guess there's still more than fifty miles left!"
Liu Jian waved his hand and said to Zhao Yun and Yan Liang behind him: "Let's go!"
Zhao Yun waved his hand and heard a melodious horn sound behind him.
Then, they saw three thousand elite Jizhou soldiers, accompanied by Liu Jian, marching toward the south in a majestic manner.
Shen Pei and Ju Shu stood side by side at the top of Ye City, looking at the direction where Liu Jian disappeared, both thoughtful.
The expressions on their faces were complicated.
When he was young, Fang heard Shen Pei speak slowly: "Why does my lord do this?"
Jushu said: "My lord always acts in a wild and unconstrained manner, which makes it difficult for people to catch traces. However, every time he acts, there must be a profound meaning, which is beyond our ability to guess."
Shen Pei said: "A descendant of the Xun family came to Jizhou from afar. After he was discovered after entering the territory of Hebei, the lord sent people to inquire about his news every day, and went to great lengths to prepare a welcome ceremony. Today he even personally led three thousand soldiers fifty miles out of the city.
Isn’t it too much to welcome someone with such courtesy? Are the descendants of the Xun family worthy of it?"
Jushu said: "This shows that my lord treats you as a worthy corporal."
The judge said displeasedly: "What a great man, he still needs such great courtesy? Is he so talented?"
Jushou smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Jugong, you said..."
"say what?"
"Tell me, if my lord really uses foreign nobles to preside over the government affairs of Jizhou in the future, where will the dignity of you and me, the local people, be put in?"
Jushou laughed dumbly and said: "My lord is just going to welcome a foreign scholar, why do you have so many ideas?"
The judge said in a low voice: "Do you think the lord doesn't know how?"
Jushou didn't answer, just turned his head and looked into the distance.
"Our lord can do anything, so what can't he do?"
Shen Pei sighed: "If there really comes a day, are you really willing to succumb to others?"
Jushou smiled and said: "Then what do you want? Do you still want to disobey the lord?"
Shen Pei hurriedly shook his head: "That's not possible! My lord is a hero in this world, and Shen Pei is convinced of my lord. I will only put my lord first in this life, and will never have second thoughts... But this is limited to my lord alone."
Well, I will listen to my lord’s orders! I will listen to them all my life! But only to my lord! I can let a scholar from Yingchuan point out to me on the territory of Jizhou... Haha!"
Although Shen Pei did not explain it directly, the meaning behind his words already showed his attitude.
Jushou sighed softly and said: "No one knows what will happen in the future. Anyway, like you, I will only serve the lord in this life. Apart from the lord, if it were someone else, he would want to give me orders in the territory of Jizhou..."
Speaking of this, Jushu paused and said: "It's not impossible, but he has to show his true ability to convince me!"
