After Wang Can left Diao Chan's camp, he went to inspect the camp again.
As for Cao Cao, who left Wang Can's camp, he was a little disappointed and a little decadent because he couldn't get a definite answer from Wang Can.
It would be very difficult to attack Dong Zhuo without strong reinforcements.
Wang Can has three main forces under his command: the Po Barracks, the Fallen Camp, and the Hanzhong Soldiers. Although the Po Barracks, the Fallen Camp, and the Hanzhong Soldiers total only more than a thousand people, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Even though Cao Cao and Sun Jian's soldiers are brave and good at fighting.
, brave and fearless of death, without Wang Can's participation, there would be no flexible cavalry support.
cavalry?
Cao Cao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peking.
He had an idea in his mind and immediately walked towards Gongsun Zan's camp.
Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong is brave and good at fighting, and his combat effectiveness is very strong. If he can get Gongsun Zan's support, even without Wang Can's participation, he can have a mobile force to attack Dong Zhuo. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's slightly cold heart became hot again, and he stepped on
Like the wind, he walked very fast and walked towards Gongsun Zan's camp.
When they reached Gongsun Zan's camp, Cao Cao immediately asked the soldiers guarding the camp to report.
Standing outside the camp, Cao Cao looked at the layout around Gongsun Zan's camp.
This area was originally where Gongsun Zan's army was stationed, but there was a small camp next to it.
In the camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were training with their soldiers.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both from the north. They are tall and strong, with a rugged face. Guan Yu has slightly narrowed red phoenix eyes, a fluttering beard under his chin, and holds a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which is majestic. Zhang Feiyan has a tiger beard on his chin and a leopard headband.
Eyes, round waist and broad arms, holding a snake spear of eight feet in hand, they are domineering, ferocious and intimidating. They train soldiers in the camp, and every move they make is full of power.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao secretly sighed that Liu Bei was an unknown guy, but he was lucky enough to have two generals. He was really lucky.
Cao Cao was far away from Guan Yu, but Guan Yu seemed to sense that someone was watching him.
Turning his eyes, he saw Cao Cao standing outside Gongsun Zan's tent, and Guan Yu's eyes flashed with light.
Cao Cao saw Guan Yu looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
Not long after, the soldiers who went to report the news came out and welcomed Cao Cao into Gongsun Zan's tent. After Cao Cao entered the tent, he glanced around the tent, but did not see Gongsun Zan's figure, so he immediately placed it next to him.
The soldiers who were feasting and drinking asked: "Where is General Gongsun? Why don't you see the general?"
Just as the soldier opened his mouth to answer, hearty laughter came from outside the camp.
Gongsun Zan, wearing a white cotton robe, a high crown on his head, and a long sword at his waist, opened the tent curtain and strode in.
"Brother Meng De, Zan is training soldiers in the camp. Hearing that Brother Meng De is visiting, he went to wash up. Sorry for keeping Brother Meng De waiting for so long!" Gongsun Zan looked calm and unrestrained, and spoke in a rich and resonant voice. When he saw Cao Cao, he seemed
It was seeing an old friend whom I hadn't seen for many years, exuding an extraordinary aura in his behavior.
Cao Cao said: "Bo Gui (Gongsun Zan's nickname), Cao Cao has taken the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The two of them always spoke politely when they met, and it was quite lively as you came and went.
Cao Cao said: "Brother Bogui, when I just entered the camp, I saw a separate camp next to it, in which Liu Bei's brother was training soldiers. Isn't Liu Bei a general under brother Bogui? Why is he alone?
When setting up a camp, does Liu Bei belong to a separate camp?"
The corner of Gongsun Zan's mouth twitched and he explained: "Zan led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo. He did not have Liu Bei under his command, but when Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and hundreds of soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo, we met him on the road.
Since Liu Bei and I were classmates, I asked Liu Bei to come with Zan. However, Liu Bei's soldiers are trained separately and have nothing to do with Zan... Well, don't worry about these trivial matters. Brother Meng De is here this time.
,Is there anything important?"
Cao Cao said: "Since Brother Bogui asked, Cao Cao said it straight to the point."
Gongsun Zan nodded and waited for Cao Cao's next words.
Cao Cao said: "In today's battle with Dong Zhuo, the princes have become aware of Dong Zhuo's strength. In addition, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, and they all have the idea of cowardly fighting. This is very detrimental to the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao is here.
The purpose of visiting Brother Bogui is to gain Brother Bogui's support and prepare to continue the attack on Dong Zhuo and go straight to Luoyang."
After Gongsun Zan heard this, he immediately fell silent.
Be timid!
Gongsun Zan also had this idea in his mind, but Gongsun Zan was not afraid of Dong Zhuo, but worried about fighting Dong Zhuo. His soldiers would suffer heavy casualties, and he failed to defeat Dong Zhuo. If Gongsun Zan loses his troops and loses his generals, his own strength will be greatly reduced, and he is likely to suffer after returning to Youzhou.
When facing attacks from other forces, one has to be cautious.
In fact, most of the princes from all walks of life are not timid, but can't bear the losses.
For example, Gongsun Zan himself had conflicts with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and both sides disliked each other.
Liu Yu adopted a policy of coaxing and appeasing the ethnic minorities outside the Great Wall, while Gongsun Zan believed that an iron-blooded policy should be adopted.
The two concepts put the two major forces in Youzhou in a state of opposition. If Gongsun Zan succeeded in his crusade against Dong Zhuo, it would be fine. After all, he would have returned to Youzhou with great achievements. If he suffered a disastrous defeat, his soldiers would fight again.
After returning to Youzhou, if Liu Yu takes advantage of the situation, can Gongsun Zan stop Liu Yu? This is something Gongsun Zan must consider clearly.
Seeing Gongsun Zan's silence, Cao Cao's heart thumped, and he secretly thought that there was no chance again.
After a long silence, Gongsun Zan said: "Brother Meng De, Zan obeys Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and obeys the orders of the leader in everything."
Gongsun Zan could not refuse Cao Cao directly, so he could only blame Yuan Shao for everything.
Cao Cao understood what Gongsun Zan meant as soon as he heard this. As long as Yuan Shao was willing to let the armies of the princes fight Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan would do his part. But if Yuan Shao didn't take the initiative to attack, Gongsun Zan would not lead the troops to fight. Thinking of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart. He just thought that Yuan Shao wouldn't
He would take the initiative to send troops, so he personally went to Sun Jian, Wang Can, and Gongsun Zan. Now only Sun Jian was willing to fight Dong Zhuo, Wang Can's attitude was unclear, and Gongsun Zan refused again, which made Cao Cao panic.
I have already said it clearly, and saying more will not help.
Cao Cao stood up, bowed to Gongsun Zan, and said, "Since Brother Bogui has already made up his mind, Cao Cao will not force Brother Bogui and leave."
Gongsun Zan stood up and said, "Brother Meng De, walk slowly."
Looking at Cao Cao's slightly lonely figure, Gongsun Zan looked at the untouched wine and food on the table, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to help Cao Cao, and also wanted to attack Dong Zhuo, but Gongsun Zan was not like Cao Cao, and Cao Cao now was no better.
He was a wanted criminal who had just escaped from Luoyang. Apart from recruiting soldiers under his command, he didn't have to think about anything else. But Gongsun Zan was different. Gongsun Zan was the governor of the Mu Shou side and had too many concerns to agree to Cao Cao's request.
Cao Cao left the camp, looking lonely and even more tired.
Among so many princes, only Sun Jian expressed his willingness to fight Dong Zhuo.
How sad!
When Cao Cao walked out of Gongsun Zan's camp, Liu Bei also saw Cao Cao. Liu Bei wanted to establish a relationship with Cao Cao, so he looked at Cao Cao's back eagerly, expecting Cao Cao to look back, and then he walked up to talk to Cao Cao, and the two sides had a rough chat.
.But Cao Cao was full of worries and lowered his head, not even glancing in Liu Bei's direction, which disappointed Liu Bei.
"Oh, what a pity!"
Liu Bei watched Cao Cao leave and sighed in his heart.
With a heavy heart, Cao Cao walked out of the princes' camp aimlessly and walked to the mountains and forests behind the camp. The forest soldiers behind the camp had all checked to make sure there were no spies planted by Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao walked alone in the mountains and forests, looking at the long
The trees that have sprouted buds said to themselves: The big trees have already sprouted buds, when will the big man grow new 'buds'?
"Crack!"
In the distance, a slight crisp sound sounded.
Cao Cao followed the sound and saw that it was the sound made by Xun Yu stepping on a dead branch.
Xun Yu walked towards Cao Cao slowly with a smile on his face. As he walked, he said loudly: "As long as you don't give up, persevere to the end, and never give up. The big man will be able to grow new 'buds' one day. This process may
It's a bit long, but it's not impossible. Could it be that Brother Mengde suffered a little blow and became discouraged?"
"Huh?"
Cao Cao exclaimed in surprise, with deep doubts on his face, and asked softly: "Wen Ruo, why did you appear in the mountains and forests when you were not in the original camp?"
Xun Yu said calmly: "Yuan Shao is indecisive and it is difficult to achieve great things. I have already left Yuan Shao."
After hearing this, Cao Cao was ecstatic and his eyes were burning.
Chance!
Great opportunity!
Youdao is lost in the east and harvested in mulberry trees. Although he did not get the support of Wang Can and Gongsun Zan, he did not expect to meet Xun Yu who left Yuan Shao while wandering aimlessly. At this moment, Cao Cao's heart became hot, and he and Xun Zan
Yu also had several conversations and admired Xun Yu's talents. However, at that time, Xun Yu was working under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could not directly recruit people. Now that Xun Yu has left Yuan Shao, wouldn't it be an opportunity for Cao Cao?
Without any hesitation, Cao Cao immediately bowed deeply to Xun Yu and said, "If Cao Cao is not talented, please give Wen Ruo a helping hand."
Xun Yu smiled indifferently, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "I don't dare to ask you to listen, but I do what I want!"
Cao Cao helped Xun Yu up and said, "When I get Wen Ruo, it's like rain on a dry land!"
Xun Yu also showed a warm smile. He stayed in Yuan Shao's camp and got along with Yuan Shao for a long time. He found that Yuan Shao was indecisive and could not achieve great things. Moreover, Yuan Shao was too ambitious and was not Xun Yu's ideal candidate. Xun Yu and Cao Cao knew each other.
After that, I carefully observed Cao Cao for a period of time, and after a long period of thinking, I finally decided on the idea of joining Cao Cao.
Two people, a fish, and a clear water.
Fish need water!
Water needs fish too!
