In the Chenliu County Guard's Mansion, Cao Cao was discussing the current situation with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao in front of the map: "I have sent out the documents of the towns, and I have successively received Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Kong Zhou, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi, Liu Dai, Bao Xin and other Thorn Shi County Guards. Romance Starter"

Zhang Miao also said in high spirits: "This time we must not be as vain as a few of us last time, if more than a dozen people are in alliance, it will definitely make Dong Zhuo's heart and soul broken!"

Wang Kuang was even more hateful in the audience: "Dong Zhuo robbed my Hanoi County, and he still slaughtered there, this revenge must be avenged!"

Zhang Chao also nodded and said: "If so many people can't defeat Dong Zhuo, what face do we have to live in the world?"

Cao Cao's face was displeased: "Don't forget the original intention of our army, which is to seek the well-being of all the people in the world, not for any personal face or anything!"

Zhang Chao blushed: "For the country and the people, I will definitely not forget it!"

Cao Cao said: "That's the best, in fact, crusading against Dong Zhuo is really the next step, but there is no way, since we have come to this point, we must persevere!"

"Meng De has a long-term vision, and it is really beyond the reach of my generation, if I want to choose an alliance leader this time, it must be Meng De!" The other three were in awe of Cao Cao and said in unison.

Cao Cao smiled: "The monarchs said that I have a long-term vision, and I don't object, but I won't be the leader of this alliance, people's hearts are different, do you think it's so easy to control them?"

Zhang Miao was puzzled: "It is precisely because your feat of assassinating Dong is well-known in the world, and you have raised the banner of righteousness and issued a letter of edict! How can such a kind of heart and courage be comparable to ordinary people, who will be the leader of this alliance?"

Cao Cao smiled: "Meng Zhuo, you are also my best friend, how can you not even see through this, the most suitable candidate to be the leader of the alliance is Yuan Shao, he has always regarded himself as a famous family, and the background of the fourth world and the third prince is well deserved, it is better for him to be the leader of the alliance!"

Wang Kuang was a little disappointed: "But Meng De, have you thought about it, what can you get in the end by crusading against Dong Zhuo without seeking fame and fortune?"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and said awe-inspiringly: "This battle is for the righteousness of the country, what I want to do is to let the world know my name Cao Mengde!"

Zhang Miao laughed: "Sure enough, you Cao Cao is an ambitious person!"

Cao Cao clasped his fists and said: "These are just my fantasies, the military exploits and fame will not fall from the sky, please go back to your own army, and step up the training of soldiers and horses to win the country thief! I also want to go to see how the recruitment situation is." ”

Bidding farewell to everyone, Cao Cao saw Gao Yi, who was already standing there smiling at him, as soon as he left the mansion: "Senior Brother Mengde!"

"Mingyang!" Cao Cao walked a few steps quickly to Gao Yi's side, excited, "I was the first to send you a message to Songshan, why did you come now?"

"Ahem!" Gao Yi heard Cao Cao's words and felt the urge to find a wall to block the south wall and crash to death, he pointed his finger at Cao Cao and sighed, "You still say, don't you know that Dong Zhuo's men and horses are looting in Yingchuan? I happened to pass by there, and I roared when I saw the injustice, alas, alas, it's really sad, doing such a thankless thing!"

Cao Cao laughed: "No way, God is fair, Mingyang, you are a capable person who works hard, what is there to complain about?"

Gao Yi scratched his head: "It seems that this is indeed the case, Senior Brother Meng De really has a good mouth, no wonder so many fierce generals are willing to serve you, they are probably some idiots!"

"Ahem!" This time, it was Cao Ren next to him who had the urge to take a piece of tofu and smash Gao Yi to death.

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly: "You just accumulate some virtue, otherwise I won't be surprised if my subordinates report to me that you were beaten to death by their group one day!"

Gao Yi looked at the banner of "Acting for the Heavens" on the high platform outside the city, and said in a strange tone: "Just like the Dong Zhuo who is about to be beaten to death by your group, right?"

Cao Cao was stunned: "What kind of metaphor are you?"

Diao Chan had already guessed what Gao Yi meant, so he changed the topic: "General Cao, I heard General Cao Ren say that you were very dangerous on the way back this time, and you almost lost your life!"

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Yes, it is a chasing soldier and a master assassination, and he also went to prison once, if it weren't for the great fortune, it is estimated that we would be separated by yin and yang now!

"Dong Zhuo's subordinates actually have such a master, listening to Senior Brother Meng De's words seems to be like a ghost!" In Cao's mansion, Gao Yi listened to Cao Cao's story in amazement.

Diao Chan next to him smiled: "General Cao is right, I know who this person is, his name is Zhang Xiu, he is the nephew of Zhang Ji under Dong Zhuo, Tong Yuan's apprentice, but unfortunately he learned to do some bad things with Dong Zhuo later, I heard that Tong Yuan no longer recognizes this disciple!"

Gao Yi said curiously: "Who is Tong Yuan, why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Diao Chan said: "No wonder you don't know, Tong Yuan is one of the three major chivalrous warriors today, the other two are Wang Yue and the Song Dynasty, among the three, Tong Yuan lives in seclusion in Taihang Mountain, and does not ask about the world; Among the three of them, Tong Yuan is good at guns, Wang Yue is good at swords, and Song Dynasty is good at swords. Although the three of them each major in one category, they are all grandmaster-level figures, and they are proficient in all kinds of weapons, and they are also very accomplished in the study of martial arts. How weak do you think they can be when they are disciples taught by old ghosts?"

Gao Yi naturally knew Tong Yuan, but he had always doubted whether there was really such a person, and now when he heard Diao Chan say it, infinite longing suddenly rose in his heart: "Why have I never heard you say this? In this way, I really want to see these people? A Wang Yue can already fight alone under my command, Yan Liangwen, Choudian, Wei Zhaoyun, the four fierce generals have joined forces, so wouldn't Tong Yuan and the Song Dynasty be even more amazing?"

Diao Chan smiled: "I don't say it because this is a well-known thing, I don't think there is any need to say it, I can't think of Brother Mingyang, you really don't know, but there is one thing I have to say, Brother Zilong once said that his marksmanship was pointed out by a nameless master who traveled to his hometown!

Cao Cao was surprised: "I remember, General Zhao Yun once fought with Lu Bu without losing the upper hand, and Lu Bu also defeated Huaxiong without doing his best, I heard that Yang You have suffered a lot from Huaxiong, why didn't you send Zhao Yun to fight at that time?"

Gao Yi ignored Cao Cao, but muttered: "In this way, I can't understand why Tong Yuan wants to take Zilong as an apprentice, it may be that Tong Yuan wants him to clean up the portal? But how can he calculate that Zilong will meet me? He is not afraid that Zilong will learn martial arts and be used by bad people?"

Cao Cao listened to Gao Yi's words and fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "I also heard that Huaxiong tried with Lu Bubi once, although he lost in the end, but he was only slightly inferior, Mingyang is really a good blessing, if you don't mind, how about lending General Zhao Yun to me for decades?"

"Ahem!" Gao Yi looked at Cao Cao with a smile, "You have a lot of fierce generals, of course I mind!"

Cao Cao also laughed: "I'm just talking!"

Gao Yi followed him to the Cao camp in Chen Liuxi's school field, and listened to Cao Cao's introduction of several generals who came to take refuge this time: "The one who is training soldiers is Xiahou Yuan, the one who is teaching soldiers in archery is Xiahou Yuan, Mingyang, you know, these two are also my brothers, I don't need to introduce Zixiao, he also has two younger brothers Cao Hong, Cao Zilian, Cao Chun, Cao Zihe, and also brought more than 1,000 troops to help me." Zixiao Zilian is skilled in bows and horses, proficient in martial arts, and Zihe has unique insights into combat methods and training, and they are my right-hand men!"

Gao Yi smiled: "Senior Brother Meng De is really blessed, and the characters of the family are also outstanding, if Dong Zhuo can't be famous this time, no one will believe it!"

Cao Ren shouted to the soldiers: "Suspend the drills, our lord is here!"

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong Cao Chun had already seen Cao Cao from afar, and immediately came over and saluted Cao Cao: "Lord!"

Cao Cao waved his hand: "It's all my own family, don't be so estranged, I will introduce you to the high-ranking apprentice I often talk to you about - Gao Yi!"

Everyone bowed their hands to Gao Yi: "Doctor Gao!"

Gao Yi returned the salute, pointed to the two unfamiliar faces in the crowd and said, "Senior Brother Mengde, who are those two people?"

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Gao Yi's finger and said with a smile: "It's Li Quan, the son of the Yangping patriot Le Jin Le Wenqian and the heroic Li Gan of Shanyang Juye, they are new to the country, and their skills are also very good!"

While speaking, Le Jin and Li Cheng had already walked over, and they also bowed: "Lord!"

"En!" Cao Cao said in a high-spirited tone, "Everyone has arrived, Gao Yi and Chen Gong's military advisor are the same, they are my close friends, they have saved me in danger many times, this time I am leading the troops to respond to the righteous act, in the future, everyone will be their own people, polish our spear and prepare for Dong Zhuo!"

"Uh-oh!" shouted in unison!

Cao Cao's tone changed abruptly: "Although I, Cao Cao, have experienced more than 30 battles since the Yellow Turban, I am not victorious in all battles, so I only have four words to say to you today: Kill the enemy!" After a pause, Cao Cao shouted loudly, "Understand?"

Everyone was stunned after hearing Cao Cao's words.

"I know what you're thinking!" Cao Cao continued, "casualties are inevitable on the battlefield, no one wants to die, but war is war, and only war can win and lose if someone dies, and death is very easy. You are all good men with flesh and blood, dreams, and passion, and good men are determined in all directions, and people die and cannot be resurrected, and you cannot die for the sake of immortality, and your fame will be immortal, and all people will respect you! You are my first batch of subordinates, and the enemies you will face in the future are not only Dong Zhuo in front of you, but also fight the world with me! You will not only be my subordinates from now on, but also my brothers! Understand? You must always remember: Do not die! Kill the enemy!

"Don't die, kill the enemy, don't die, kill the enemy!" After Cao Cao's explanation, everyone finally understood Cao Cao's deep meaning and cheered enthusiastically.

Cao Cao was obviously very satisfied with this effect, nodded and said, "Let's go and step up the practice, the sweat now is for the sake of not bleeding in the future!"

"The lord is mighty!" The soldiers were encouraged by Cao Cao, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"I can't see that Senior Brother Mengde, you still have a good way of boosting morale!" Seeing that the soldiers were engaged in intense training again, Gao Yi said with envy.

"As a commander, this is the minimum requirement!" Cao Cao smiled indifferently.

Chen Gong, dressed in Confucian clothes, walked over from afar, and joked with a smile on his lips: "Meng De is bewitching honest people again! I just heard your mobilization from afar, and I have the urge to go into battle to kill the enemy now!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao also laughed, "People make the best use of their talents! Of course I have to do my best to do things for myself!" he said he introduced Gao Yi, "This is the public platform, what's the matter, you look much more handsome and chic than Mingyang, right?"

Chen Gong saluted: "Senior brother!"

"Breasts are free, I'm a man, breasts are small! If you want to say that there is one on this side with big breasts!" Gao Yi pointed to Diao Chan, who was almost left out in the cold.

"Hey, Brother Mingyang, what do you mean, do you want to say that I have big breasts and no brains?" Diao Chan was originally comparing the appearances of Gao Yi and Chen Gong, and he didn't want Gao Yi to come to such a sentence, so he immediately became angry.

Cao Cao smiled: "It's okay to make a joke occasionally to liven up the atmosphere, but if Mingyang's words are a little more explicit, I don't rule out the possibility of strangling you!"

Diao Chan wasn't really annoyed, this was a military camp after all, seeing that what Chen Gong was holding in his hand seemed to be a secret letter, he knew that there was another major military incident, so he asked: "Chen Gong Military Division, what are you holding?"

"Oh, this is the information I have collected from all over the country about the attitude of the princes towards the crusade against Dong Zhuo!" Chen Gong said.

Cao Cao was pleasantly surprised: "The public station is very fast, and it has been collected in such a short time! Let's take a look!"

Chen Gong opened the secret letter, and inside were several pieces of paper and text descriptions with maps of mountains and rivers, densely packed and marked with many symbols, which made Gao Yi look dizzy: "Chen Gong, military master, what are you drawing?"

Cao Cao was also puzzled and looked at it for a long time: "It's better to explain it yourself!"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "It's that my painting is too complicated, in fact, there are not many things, the main thing is that among these heroes, including us, there are only twelve who openly play the banner of begging Dong, and the other eleven are: Qixiang Hou Bohai is too shou Yuan Shao, the later general Nanyang is too shou Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi is too shou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, Guangling guards Zhang Chao, Dongjun guards Qiao Mao, Shanyang guards Yuan Yi, and Jibei Xiang Bao Xin. ”

Gao Yi glanced at the map every time Chen Gong read a name, and finally blurted out: "These twelve princes are all in the Central Plains, right!"

Chen Gong nodded: "Brother Gao is really smart, since Wang Kuang was defeated in Hanoi by Dong Zhuo's general Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, who was victorious in the crusade against the Black Mountain thieves, gathered 30,000 horses and left the Bohai Sea to approach Hanoi, and then Zhang Yang and the Xiongnu leader Yu Fuluo each brought thousands of people to Yuan Shao, and the momentum was also extremely strong, and Lu Bu was ordered to return to Beijing after occupying Hanoi, so it is estimated that now Yuan Shao has taken this Hanoi that is enough to threaten the capital. ”

Cao Cao said: "Well, with Yuan Shao's intelligence, this is not a problem, I heard that he has attracted a large number of celebrities to vote in a short period of time with the name of the fourth world and the third duke!"

Gao Yi smiled on the side: "What, Senior Brother Mengde, are you jealous?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Isn't it just jealousy? It's just envy, jealousy and hatred! You don't know, when I was in Luoyang, I strongly persuaded the general He Jin not to let Dong Zhuo enter Beijing, but the general had to listen to Yuan Shao's words, and I made a bet with him!"

Gao Yi asked, "What kind of bet?"

Cao Cao said: "I said that if Yuan Shao's strategy can get rid of the eunuchs, the world will be ruled greatly, and I, Cao Cao, am willing to stoop down and be a little official of his original sword!"

Gao Yi smiled: "Senior Brother Mengde, you really dare to bet!"

Immediately after Gao Yi, he asked Cao Cao again: "What is the uncle gambling again?"

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "He is also very happy, he said that he Yuan Shao wants to fight the world for me!"

Gao Yi smiled and said, "It would be his blessing if Senior Brother Meng De was allowed to be his uncle's little official!"

Cao Cao sighed: "Not only is it the blessing of Yuan Shao, but also the blessing of the people of the world?

Chen Gong coughed twice: "Don't hate, listen to me finish speaking! Actually, Meng De, you are still Zhang Miao's subordinate, and you are not even a prince?"

Cao Cao said: "I know this very well, so I have to continue to work hard!"

Chen Gong glanced at the map and said: "Now Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi and Meng De are stationed in Chen, Yuan Shu is stationed in Luyang, Sun Jian rushed from Songshan to join Yuan Shu, Kong Lingtun is in Yingchuan, and Han Fu is staying in Yecheng and giving food to the coalition army. However, the attitude of other local armies did not make a clear statement for different reasons: the attitude of Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Beiping, was unclear, and the Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian had an ambiguous relationship with Dong Zhuo when he crusaded against Han Sui under Zhang Wen. Although Yizhou Mu Liu Yan claimed to raise troops, the roads in Yizhou were rugged, and it was obvious that he would not participate in the war, but would defend himself. Although Beihai Taishou Kong Rong and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe have the heart but are powerless, they are recently starting to crack down on the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Yu Party Guanhai, and they are still too busy to take care of their own territory. Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Yu Hongnong and Han Sui each had established an independent force and maintained a close relationship with Dong Zhuo. Gongsun Du, the Liaodong Taishou, was recommended because he was a fellow villager with Dong Zhuo's general, Xu Rong, and now he has established himself as a marquis in Liaodong, and his relationship with Dong Zhuo will not be too stiff. Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen also did not express their position. Don't count on Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, this official of his is recommended by Dong Zhuo, although he is also a member of the Han family!"
