Chapter 790: Sour Jujube Alliance (II)

Seeing the sadness on Qin Hao's face, Cao Cao's eyes were also full of concern, patted Qin Hao's shoulder, and comforted:

"Virtuous nephew, brother, he has been fighting for most of his life, and now he can't go to the battlefield, although it is a painful thing for him, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Huh?"

Qin Hao showed a surprised look, while Cao Cao continued: "Brother can just unload the burden and enjoy the joy of family, I can't envy this kind of life." ”

Looking at Cao Cao's respectful and concerned eyes, Qin Hao suddenly felt that he had misjudged Cao Cao before.

Qin Hao has always felt that Cao Cao and his father formed a righteous alliance just to take advantage of that stupid and generous father, and now it seems that there is still affection between these three old men.

"Third uncle, what about the position of alliance leader this time?"

Qin Hao returned to the topic again, while Cao Cao laughed, and then said seriously: "This time the position of the leader of the alliance must be a virtuous nephew." ”

Qin Hao smiled, his lips moved slightly, and said, "Thank you." ”

"Except for the virtuous nephew, the rest of the people serve as the leader of the alliance, and I Cao Cao is not at ease......"

In the tone and attitude of Cao Cao's answer, Qin Hao saw that although Cao Cao was a prince, he still had nostalgia for the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao hoped in his heart that the coalition army could defeat Dong Zhuo, break through Chang'an, rescue the Han Emperor, and revive the Han Dynasty, but he also knew that there were many princes, and a large number of people would definitely be uneven, so a person with high prestige was needed to take the lead.

Among the princes, only Qin Hao and Dong Zhuo are endless, and whether it is troops, ability, or prestige, the princes who come to the alliance cannot compare to Qin Hao, so for those princes who are interested in the Han family, Qin Hao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the alliance leader, and age is not an obstacle at all.

After receiving Cao Cao's enlightenment, Qin Hao estimated that those princes who were interested in the Han Dynasty should all nominate themselves as the leaders of the alliance, such as: Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Liu Yu and others.

As for those who hesitate because of their age, Qin Hao only needs to continue to increase public relations, as long as more than half of the people are willing to nominate Qin Hao, then the position of the leader of the alliance will be stable.

"By the way, Third Uncle, in the Battle of Annihilation, you captured several generals under Li Mi's command, but I don't know if they are all subdued now?" Qin Hao asked

Cao Cao couldn't figure out Qin Hao's thoughts, but he also said truthfully: "Wang Junke and other generals have been subdued by me, but that Cheng Biting Jin is simply a stone in a vat, smelly and hard, and he is unwilling to surrender anything." ”

Cao Cao's personality charm is still very high, most of the generals captured by him will be moved by his sincerity, and there are few people who are unwilling to surrender, and Cheng Yanjin is one of the very smallest.

Wang Junke and others have already surrendered, and they took turns to persuade them, but Cheng Yanjin was unwilling to surrender, and because of the relationship between Wang Junke and others, Cao Cao was not easy to kill Cheng Yanjin, so he has been locked up until now.

"How could the virtuous nephew know about this person?" Cao Cao asked.

Qin Hao smiled and said: "That's the case, my brother Qin Qiong, the elder brother of the same clan, once traveled the rivers and lakes with Cheng Yanjin, and later the two became brothers with righteous surnames, since Cheng Yanjin is unwilling to surrender, can the third uncle hand it over to the little nephew?" The little nephew was willing to redeem it with a hundred pairs of armor. ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, Cheng Yanjin was unwilling to surrender him, and it would be a waste of food to continue to keep it.

Moreover, among the five generals captured at the beginning, Cao Cao really valued only Wang Junke, and the other four, including Cheng Yanjin, were only incidental, so it was better to exchange some benefits with Qin Hao.

"Virtuous nephew, Cheng Yanjin is a super first-class general, a hundred armor is too little, at least five hundred."

Cao Cao's appearance at this time was like a shrewd old fox in Qin Hao's eyes.

Cheng Yanjin turned out to be a super-first-class general? Is he so powerful? Why don't you know?

Of course, the reason why Qin Hao values Cheng Biting Jin is not because of his ability, but because Cheng Biting Jin is a lucky general, and his good luck may be fed back to him, so even if he is cheated by Cao Cao, Qin Hao will admit it.

"Third uncle, you also know the cost of a pair of armor, at most two hundred, no more."

"Four hundred, thousands of troops are easy to get, and one general is hard to find, this truth won't be understood by the virtuous nephew, right?"

"Three hundred, it really can't be more."

"Deal."

In this way, Qin Hao used three hundred pieces of armor to redeem Cheng Yanjin from Cao Cao, but because Cheng Yanjin was locked up in Chenliu, it would take some time to transport it.

In the next three days, the local princes of Yanzhou arrived one after another, namely Zhang Miao, the Taishou of Dongping, Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Jibei, Bao Xin, and the Taishou of Shanyang, Yuan Yi, but they did not bring many troops, and they only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses.

So far, the number of princes who have arrived is six, and the number of soldiers and horses in the large camp has increased to 130,000.

Qin Hao visited these four small princes separately with generous gifts, and almost didn't waste any words to get the promise of three of them, as for the refusal, of course, it was Yuan from the Yuan family, of course, this was completely expected by Qin Hao.

"It seems that the Yuan family is also eyeing the position of the leader of the alliance, and I must not be careless, in case the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will not be cost-effective."

Qin Hao estimated in his heart that the people of the Yuan family who competed with him for the leader of the alliance this time should still be Yuan Shao if nothing else.

And Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, who arrived after the princes of Yanzhou.

Since there is only one prince in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, there are still a lot of soldiers and horses, a full 40,000 army, but this combat power, everyone understands, after all, the Xuzhou army is also famous for its weak combat strength.

When Qin Hao visited Tao Qian, Tao Qian neither put on a stand for his elders, nor did he accuse Qin Hao of poaching his left and right hands Mi Zhu, and very decisively agreed to promote Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance, which made Qin Hao a little embarrassed.

After the two states of Yanxu and Xuzhou, the princes of Yuzhou who arrived with them were Yuan Shu, Li Mi, Zhao Kuangyin and Kong Ling, of which Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin were still one.

Li Mi didn't want to come, but he had to come.

Over the years, Yuan Shu has always wanted to destroy Li Mi, a country within a country, and Li Mi has been carefully surviving for a long time, not giving Yuan Shu any chance against himself.

Li Mi could almost foresee that if he didn't come to the alliance, Yuan Shu would definitely send troops directly to attack Dong Zhuo's henchmen.

Therefore, in order not to give Yuan Shu a chance to crusade against him, Li Mi had to come to the alliance.

After Yuzhou, it was the princes of Jingzhou who arrived, Huang Zu, Han Xuan, and Liu Xiu.

At the same time, Huang Zu and Han Xuan both sent generals to lead the troops, while Liu Xiu personally led the troops, but the number was the smallest among the princes, only 2,000 soldiers and horses.

Yan, Xu, Henan, Jing, these four states are the closest to the sour jujube, so the arrival time is also the earliest, and and, Hebei, Qing, You, Yang, Yi, these six states are far away, although they are all relatively slow, but they all arrived at the end of the year.
