Chapter 305: The Princes of Bishui Pass (I)
So if you say so, Ma Chao's current one-fifth can be said to be inferior to Zhang Miao. But Cao Cao didn't know anything about it, and he didn't think about Ma Chao's problem at all. Because for him, the relationship between him and Zhang Miao is obviously closer than Ma Chao, and the relationship has been longer. So in some aspects, he ignored Ma Chao automatically.
After a few people set off from Chenliu with a large army, they saw the large army in a few days, and now someone else has already arrived. And the princes from all walks of life will join the alliance to discuss Dong Zhuo, in fact, there is no place for a fixed alliance, but everyone tacitly agrees to set up camp in a place relatively close to Bishui Pass.
And just a few days ago, when Cao Cao issued an edict and united other princes to discuss Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo naturally received the exact news at the first time. At that time, Dong Zhuo couldn't tell what mood he was in, anyway, he had never been afraid of this, to say that he now has an army of 400,000 in his hands, and there are bears and tigers like Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, who was Dong Zhongying afraid of? It's just that the peaceful and peaceful days have been disrupted by the princes from all walks of life, and Dong Zhuo suddenly realized that he seems to have changed a lot, to say that he didn't like such a comfortable life before.
At that time, I also knew that it was right to have fun, but I was constantly working hard to achieve my goal step by step, and I was never comfortable, but now that my goal has been achieved, I have changed. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying it, because I'm really old now. It's just that Mencius said, "Born in sorrow, die in peace", is it really necessary for him to be like this? In the past, if I had encountered such a thing, I would have directly raised troops to fight against the princes, but now I don't have this mind.
Now that he is in a high position, he shouldn't go out by himself, just let his subordinates go down, and it's best for him to stay in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo told himself that it was not that he didn't want to go, but a change in identity. In fact, he didn't take himself seriously, and he didn't pay attention to other princes. Because in Dong Zhuo's opinion, how many soldiers Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's gang can have, at most, they are about the same as themselves. And with the precipitousness of Bishui Pass, can't he resist their rabble? Joke!
In Dong Zhuo's opinion, of course, the Han has loyal ministers and good generals, but now there are fewer and fewer people, and there are not many people who want to deal with him, and it is good to have three or five. If the coalition forces are fighting on their own and cannot unite as one, then how can they deal with themselves.
At this time, Dong Zhuo had already gathered everyone to discuss the matter of dealing with the alliance of the princes, "Everyone, now that the princes from all over the country have arrived at the Bishui Pass one after another, it can be seen that they are going to start a war here first, I don't know if any of you can share my worries?" ”
Lu Bu said: "My lord, I am willing to lead the troops into battle and reject the enemy outside the Bishui Pass!" ”
Dong Zhuo was happy, but he felt that there was no need for Lu Bu to come out in person at this time, and another one came out at this time: "Lord, the last general, Hua-Xiong-please-fight!" ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said with a smile: "'Kill chickens and use a cattle slaughtering knife', Feng Xian will rest in Luoyang for the time being, and General Hua will go out to resist the enemy, I can rest assured!" ”
"No!" Hua Xiong hurriedly agreed, and then turned around and ordered troops to go to Bishui Pass.
And seeing that his lord didn't let him go, Lu Bu was not unhappy, after all, his lord was right, "kill chickens with a knife", of course, he has to fight at the most critical time, and under normal circumstances, he doesn't need to go out in person.
Li Ru looked at his lord and Lu Bu, and thought in his heart, alas, the lord has really changed a lot, and when things like this were done before, he directly led the troops to meet them. Now, although it is not necessary for the lord to resist the enemy in person, no matter how you say it, you have to strengthen everyone's thoughts, but the lord is now a little careless and underestimates the enemy. Maybe the princes from all walks of life are not in harmony, but the people who can come are more or less also related to the Han, at least in the early stage, they can still work together to fight the enemy together.
And Hua Xiong, whether he can be the opponent of all the princes is not certain, let alone Cao Cao and Sun Jian, it is estimated that even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Hua Xiong is not necessarily the opponent of others. But at this time, his lord will definitely not be able to listen to his advice, so he can only wait for failure, and then talk about it, and he may be able to listen to some of it.
When Ma Chao and a few of them arrived at Bishui Pass, there were already people who had already arrived, and there were two Ma Chao who still knew each other, the general, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu Yuan Highway and Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang Zhang Zhishu. Although Ma Chao and Yuan Shu haven't had much contact, he has indeed seen and known this person, but they are not familiar with each other, as for Zhang Yang, not to mention, for Ma Chao, it is a very good relationship and a rare friend.
"Meng De, Meng Qi, Meng Zhuo, don't you come unharmed?
Although Yuan Shu is not as good as Yuan Shao, he is quite enthusiastic about Cao Cao and does not dare to slack off. Yuan Shu is indeed a person who is very bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but for people with status, he does not dare to slack off at all. So for Cao Cao and them, of course, he couldn't slack off anything.
Cao Cao and Zhang Miao both talked to Yuan Shu, and although Ma Chao didn't like Yuan Shu, he still had to have the politeness, "It turned out to be Brother Highway, I haven't seen him for many years, Brother Highway is really still the same!" ”
Yuan Shu smiled, "Speaking of which, it's not as good as Meng Qi, Meng Qi is in his prime!" ”
Yuan Shu was originally in Luoyang, but because he was timid and afraid that Dong Zhuo's side would be unfavorable to him, he fled from Luoyang early. From this point of view, he is inferior to Yuan Shao. At least when Yuan Shao escaped, he still knew that Lu Dao would say a few cruel words or something to show that he was not afraid of Dong Zhuo, but what about Yuan Shu, he was directly scared away, and what else did he dare to say?
But at this time, Yuan Shu suddenly found a very interesting thing, that is, Cao Cao's three people are all Mencius, which means that they are the eldest sons in the family, but I didn't expect these three people to get together now and come together. However, Ma Mengqi was obviously in Liangzhou, how could he have arrived with Cao Cao and them.
Yuan Shu also had doubts in his heart, but he also didn't ask Ma Chao anything. He and Ma Chao are not familiar with each other, so he didn't do that boring thing.
After a few people chatted briefly, Cao Cao took Ma Chao to greet others again, mainly Cao Cao still wanted to introduce Ma Chao, after all, many people Ma Chao is unfamiliar, but he Cao Cao is more familiar.
Then Cao Cao introduced Ma Chao, the first one was the Jizhou Mu Han Fu Han Wen Festival, Han Fu was not far away, so he had already arrived. Ma Chao really saw Han Fu for the first time, so he politely said a few words to each other.
After that, it was Yuzhou Mu Kong Ling Kong Gongxu, Kong Ling and he were also close, so naturally it would not come too late. And Ma Chao really didn't have much impression of him, so he simply said a few words.
Next is Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai Liu Gongshan, this person is a member of the Han family, Ma Chao thinks he is not bad. Because the Han clan relatives can come over, except for him Liu Dai, there is only that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande. Ma Chao can also understand that as a member of the Han family, there may be people who want to avoid suspicion, so it is really not good to bring troops over directly. Those who know Lu Dao understand that you are leading troops to the side of King Qingjun of Luoyang Qin, but I don't know that Lu Dao still thinks that you have a heart of disobedience.
But Ma Chao also felt that most people didn't come on purpose, because they had their own plans, and only people like Liu Dai and Liu Bei who were interested in the Han family could come. For example, Liu Yan, you can think that he is in Yizhou, because Shu Road is difficult to walk, so it is not necessarily when he will come. But Ma Chao feels that this is not the case at all. Because he Liu Yan heard that Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, he wrote a book to "guard the pastor on behalf of the sky", and the state pastor came out again.
He Liu Yan is definitely an old treacherous and cunning, no matter what the result of the princes and Dong Zhuo is the worst, the benefits to him Liu Yan outweigh the disadvantages, and it is much better for him. So in this case, why does he Liu Yan want to come over, is it necessary?
So for Liu Dai and Liu Gongshan, Ma Chao chatted with him a few more words, although he didn't know him before, but now he is slowly getting acquainted.
After the most Lu Ma Chao saw Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang Wang Gongjie, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao Qiao Yuanwei, Shanyang Taishou, who are also members of the Yuan family, Yuan Boye, and after a brief greeting with these people, Ma Chao talked to his friend Zhang Yang after the most.
Ma Chao had long wanted to say a few words to Zhang Yang, but there had been no good opportunity, and Zhang Yang could see that Cao Cao wanted to introduce himself to the Meng Qi brothers, so he didn't bother them much.
When Cao Cao wanted to introduce Zhang Yang, Ma Chao smiled: "Brother Meng De, I know Uncle Zhi, I am very familiar!" ”
Cao Cao smiled, "I see, then Meng Qi you can talk, I won't bother much!" ”
Cao Cao also left with interest, and he also chatted with people he knew, after all, everyone has their own things to do.
I haven't seen him for many years, Zhang Yang came up and gave Ma Chao a punch, and said: "You kid has been famous for so many years, but why don't you go back to Bingzhou to take a look?" ”
Ma Chao smiled, although he hadn't seen him for many years, his relationship with Zhang Yang had not weakened, but deepened. As a Liangzhou pastor, there are a few people who dare to punch themselves, although it is a joke, but only a real friend like Zhang Yang can do this. In this regard, Ma Chao felt that Zhang Yang was still the Uncle Zhang Zhi who pulled himself into the gang back then, and there was no major change, not that he was too guarded by the party. And in Zhang Yang's place, he is still the Meng Qi brother, not a Liangzhou pastor.
The two have not changed anything because of their current status, and the deep relationship between friends is still the same, and Ma Chao feels that this is what he wants to cherish.
"This is the little brother's fault, it really shouldn't be!"
Zhang Yang patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, "Brother Meng Qi, you are embarrassed to say, you are really not interesting after so many years, even if you are not familiar with Fengxian and Fuyi, why do you have to come and see me!" But you have been away for so many years, it's really unreasonable! Also, now those boys, I told them that you were in our state army, and they didn't believe it, you think I can still deceive them with this? ”
Ma Chao smiled, Zhang Yang was still like that, "Uncle Zhi, I'll go back once!" ”
"Okay, this is what you said, I wrote it down, hahaha!"
Ma Chao suddenly had a feeling that he had been calculated by Zhang Yang.
