Chapter 396: Forming an Alliance (Part II)

The book is picked up again.

"What! How can it be?! Yuan Shu was taken aback after hearing Cao Cao's words, and exclaimed in disbelief on his face.

Just as Cao Cao knew the two brothers very well, they also knew Cao Cao very well.

He knew that Cao Cao's family was not rich, and it was impossible to raise a large army.

Then, his face suddenly froze, and he thought of a possibility, and asked hurriedly: "Is it the hussar general......

Speaking of this, he stared at Cao Cao with blazing eyes, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Brother Highway is really powerful, he can guess it!" Cao Cao nodded and acknowledged the matter.

Then, he said proudly: "As Brother Highway expected, there are less than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and the other 40,000 people are all gifts from Brother Xingzhi. ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu's eyes revealed a complicated look, with shock, envy, and even more jealousy.

At this point, he was about to go crazy with jealousy!

As the eldest son of the Yuan family, he had to ask Li Zhi if he wanted to go out of the city.

However, Cao Cao, who was not looked down upon by him, was not only able to enter and leave Luoyang City freely, but also easily obtained nearly 50,000 troops.

This contrast had to make him a little crazy.

"Hehe......" Yuan Shu laughed twice with an ugly face, and said: "Hussar generals are all so big!"

In that case, then why didn't he personally deal with Dong Zhuo?!

According to the strength of the hussar general, wouldn't Dong Zhuo be able to capture it? ”

Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes and sowed discord: "Could it be ......

The hussar general doesn't care about the life or death of His Majesty at all?

In other words, the reason why the hussar general gave Brother Meng De these 40,000 soldiers and horses was so that when the people of the world held him accountable, he would tell the matter of lending the 40,000 soldiers and horses to Brother Meng De.

At that time, he could completely say that he had made efforts to get rid of Dong Zhuo.

At that time, Brother Meng Deke will become his shield.

Moreover, no matter how much effort Brother Meng De put in and how much credit he receives, the biggest beneficiary of this is still the hussar general. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "Brother Mengde, you must be careful!

Although I also know that the hussar general should not be criticized behind his back, but who made us friends.

You must be careful, don't wait for Dong Zhuo to be killed, the hussar general has the greatest credit, and you can only eat his leftovers! ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao with an expression of "I'm good for you".

"Alas......" After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Cao Cao let out a long sigh, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I thought that Brother Highway had reformed himself, but I didn't expect Brother Highway to be the same Yuan Highway as before!" ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu's face changed, and he asked with a gloomy face, "Brother Meng De, what does this mean?"

The reason why I said what I just said was because I was afraid that Brother Meng De would suffer.

It's just that Brother Meng De is not grateful, why do you still want to say slanderous words? ”

Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shu with a complicated expression for a while, and then explained to him: "The reason why Brother Xingzhi didn't attack Dong Zhuo was because His Majesty was now in Dong Zhuo's hands, so he let him cast a rat trap.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo forced His Majesty to write a holy decree that the hussar general should not act rashly.

The hussar general is a loyal servant, how can he disobey his orders?

Therefore, he was imprisoned by that holy decree at this time, and he could only tactfully deal with Dong Zhuo through his hands. ”

"Hehe......" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Yuan Shu laughed disdainfully twice, and sneered: "Brother Meng De, aren't you sorry for saying this?"

The hussar general is a loyal minister?! Are you going to laugh off the big teeth?

If he was a loyal minister, then at the beginning, how could he ignore the life and death of the two princes and insist on making a move on Zhang?

If he was a loyal minister, then why didn't he come forward to stop the gambling between the general He Jin and Dong Zhuo?

If he was a loyal minister, then why didn't he stop Dong Zhuo when Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor?

Moreover, you and I both know that the hussar general is a decisive man, how could he not dare to do it because of a mere holy decree? ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cao Cao with a mocking face, and the disdain in his eyes was overflowing.

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded with a nonchalant face, and said, "You are right, Brother Xingzhi is indeed not an indecisive person.

But ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao spread his hands: "The reason for not sending troops mentioned by the virtuous brother of Xingzhi can not be faulted by anyone.

Therefore, even if the people of the world know that this is the shirk of the virtuous brother of the line, they can only scold him twice for being pedantic, but not what he does! ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then, staring directly at Yuan Shu, he threatened: "Brother Highway, you have no other choice now!"

If you don't form an alliance with Zaixia, then you won't even be able to get out of Luoyang City!

When the time comes, what will happen to you, you should understand it yourself, right? ”

After finishing speaking, he straightened out the clothes on his body, picked up the tea cup with an indifferent demeanor, and tasted the tea carefully.

Although he looked indifferent, the depths of his eyes were full of pride.

In the past, Yuan Shu had used such a demeanor to deal with him more than once, and at this time, he finally took revenge.

"Crunch crunch......" Seeing Cao Cao's demeanor, Yuan Shu gritted his teeth and rattled, with an expression of wanting to eat Cao Cao alive.

However, it is still the same sentence, "People are under the roof and have to bow their heads".

Yuan Shu was no longer the eldest son of the high-ranking Yuan family at this time, but a person who fled.

He didn't have much choice at all, and if Cao Cao insisted on not letting him see Li Zhi, there was nothing he could do.

Therefore, although he was angry, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and agreed to Cao Cao's conditions.

"Good! I agreed! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately put down the teacup, grabbed Yuan Shu's arm, and said with enthusiasm on his face: "With the help of Brother Dao, I will definitely be able to get rid of that Dong Zhuo later!" ”

"Humph!" When Yuan Shu heard this, he snorted coldly, pulled his arm out of Cao Cao's hand, and said coldly: "Don't be happy too early, only if you agree to the conditions of this son, this son will serve you as the leader of the alliance!" ”

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't have an attitude towards Yuan Shu, so he took his hand and said curiously: "What are the conditions?" Please speak. ”

Yuan Shudi heard Cao Cao's words, and did not rush to answer, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This son has three conditions.

First, you have to let Ben Gongzi meet the hussar general, and try your best to dissuade the hussar general, so that he can find a way to send Ben Gongzi to Nanyang safely. ”

"This is simple" Cao Cao nodded immediately after hearing the first condition, and said: "As long as Brother Highway is willing to respect him as the leader of the alliance, of course Brother Highway will ensure the safety of Brother Highway."

Even, this matter does not need to be done at all, and with the power of the next person, he can send Brother Lu to Luoyang safely. ”

"No way!" When Yuan Shu heard this, he shook his head categorically and refused: "You must let the hussar general come forward as a guarantee, so that this son will respect you as the leader of the alliance, and this son can't trust you!" ”

After Cao Cao heard Yuan Shu's words, he didn't get angry, nodded and said, "Okay, I will do my best to facilitate this matter."

Let's talk about your second condition. ”

After Cao Cao agreed to the first condition, Yuan Shu's face finally showed some joy.

Subsequently, he continued: "The second condition of Ben Gongzi is that you need to provide Ben Gongzi with three... Five thousand war horses! ”

"No way!" As soon as Yuan Shu's words fell, Cao Cao's face instantly turned cold, and he said with a displeased face: "The troubled times are approaching, and war horses are more expensive than human lives!"

Don't say that you can't get 5,000 war horses at all.

Even if you can take it out, I won't give it to you below, so let's change the requirements! ”

"Humph!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "Don't deceive me into being ignorant!"

A few months ago, the hussar general got 20,000 war horses from Dong Zhuo, and now it is easy to take out 5,000!

If you don't agree to this request, Ben Gongzi won't help you! ”

In fact, Yuan Shu was also forced to be helpless, the destination of his trip was Nanyang, and Nanyang did not produce war horses at all.

However, cavalry is an indispensable existence on the battlefield, so he will ask Cao Cao for a war horse with a dead face.

Although these 5,000 horses can form 5,000 cavalry at most, and they are not durable to fight, they are better than nothing.

"Humph!" Listening to Yuan Shu's threatening words, Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Brother Highway is too much to look down on himself?"

Now that you're down, how can you be worth five thousand horses?! ”!

When Yuan Shu heard this, he didn't get angry, and after looking at Cao Cao, he asked with a smile: "The reason why you let this son respect you as the leader of the alliance is that you want to borrow the reputation of my Yuan family to attract the world's families?"

It is true that this son alone is not worth five thousand war horses, but the reputation of my Yuan family is worth it! ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Cao Cao with blazing eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to borrow the reputation of my Yuan family, then you must give this son five thousand war horses!"

Otherwise, you'll not succeed......"
