In the sixth year of Zhongping, a series of events occurred in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, which was dizzying, and each of them shook the world, making the sky over the Han land turbulent and the situation even more unpredictable.

The powerful general He Jin and Jian Shuo, Dong Zhong and other empress dowagers and other party finally died together in the sword and sword, and Liu Hong, the son of the Han Dynasty, also passed away in the storm, and then the new emperor Liu Bian mysteriously disappeared in the chaotic night of the imperial capital. And Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who successfully eradicated the entire Sino-Korean forces, also faced the threat of foreign vassal forces Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

Just as the world was waiting to see, Ding Yuan was killed by his subordinate general Lu Bu in front of the two armies, which caused a sensational comment, and before people could react, a collective escape incident that was unique in the history of the Han Dynasty suddenly broke out.

Yuan Shao, who had just accepted the appointment of the lieutenant of Sili in the midst of the turmoil, led thousands of subordinates to rush out of Luoyang without warning and went straight to the direction of Jizhou, and Yuan Shu also led more than 1,000 people to Nanyang, Jingzhou. Dong Zhuo was stunned, and he no longer cared about supporting Dong Hou Liu Xie to succeed the Son of Heaven, causing a shock in the government and the opposition. After Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, and Lu Zhi, the scholar of Shangshu, persuaded him to no avail, he also followed the example of Eryuan and quietly escaped from the imperial capital and disappeared.

When people with lofty ideals in the court were about to secretly unite to resist Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, strange things broke out again. Outside the city, 8,000 troops under the command of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, swore allegiance to Dong Zhuo, and about 5,000 people from the old Northern Army of He Jin and He Miao also surrendered to Dong Zhuo, and after half a day, about 13,000 follow-up troops of Dong Zhuo's army arrived in Luoyang, and at the same time, a mysterious Liangzhou army also came from the direction of Chang'an under the banner of Dong Jun.

As a result, Dong Zhuo's army was prosperous, and the total military strength reached 40,000. As a result, the officials were shocked, and no one dared to openly resist it.

A few days later, Dong Zhuo forced the imperial court to fight the disaster on the grounds that the long-term rain caused the flood, dismissed Liu Hong, the secretary, and replaced him with himself. In order to stabilize the situation. Dong Zhuo secretly or with high-ranking officials and generous promises, or bribes with gold and silver, or coerced with past secrets, forced He Hao, Wu Qiong, Xun Shuang, Wang Yun, Han Rong, Zhou Yu and other old people who did not accompany Yuan Shao to assist the government, and then recruited Chen Ji, Cai Yong, Shen Tupan and other celebrities in the opposition to enter the court to listen to it. In addition to Shen Tupan's refusal, these people have held important positions in the DPRK and have been extremely glorious.

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo not only greatly increased his military and political strength, but also rose sharply in prestige among scholars and doctors, and firmly controlled the situation in the imperial capital.

However. Under the undercurrent, a large-scale military joint operation against Dong Zhuo is also being born. As soon as Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he designed to subdue Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, and did his best. Yuan Shu also subdued the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang, and recruited troops, and his strength increased greatly. The two echoed each other from afar, one south and one north, contacting the princes of all parties everywhere, ready to counterattack the imperial capital at any time.

The prelude to the civil war, which lasted for more than half a century and determined China's future destiny, is about to begin.

Dark red charcoal on the fire. A hammer slammed into the iron embryo again and again, bursting out a little spark, reflecting the eyes of the man who struck the iron, as if shooting directly into the anger surging in the man's heart.

Cao Cao never imagined it. I will be reduced to this day. Since escaping from Luoyang that day, he only took a few people to stay overnight all the way to his hometown of Qiaoxian. Although the road lost ground for a while, it was also high and wide from now on. It can be self-contained.

Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and his fate is ill-fated, and he Cao Mengde is destined to suffer a catastrophe. When he was passing through Chenggao County. I went to visit the house of my old friend Lu Bohao, but unexpectedly, Lu Bohao's son just saw the reward notice from the Luoyang flying horse, and wanted to take him to see the official, after Cao Cao inadvertently broke it, he was angry and killed eight people in a row, and fled in a panic.

When they stepped into Zhongmu County, Luoyang's pursuit documents arrived, and more than 100 trappers in the county surrounded them. After a fierce battle, everyone was killed, and Cao Cao was captured as much as he could. If it weren't for the fact that a Gong Cao in the county was also a hidden subordinate of the Heavenly Stem Branch, he was rescued from the cage at night, but he was afraid that he would have been taken to Luoyang to be humiliated.

When he fled to Chenliu again, he was chased and killed by the new Yuzhou assassin Shi Huang Wan, if it were not for his friend Qin Shao to save him, he would still be unable to escape death...... Raging anger filled his heart, this Huang Wan was actually a person from the Heavenly Stems Branch, but he was completely thrown into Dong Zhuo under the high-ranking officials, and one day, he would pay back his debts with blood!

In order to avoid the pursuit and accumulate travel expenses, he had to pretend to be a passing blacksmith and blend into an iron shop to help. This is undoubtedly a ruthless tempering from heart to body for Cao Mengde, who once had fine clothes and fine food and commanded thousands of troops.

A bitter smile came to his lips, and there was actually a general who said that he would shine and make a name in history? If he saw himself so decadent at this time, he wondered how he would feel.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao was at a loss, and there was a faint thought in his heart, what kind of fame and glory? In this troubled world, it is not easy to survive, how can we achieve great things? A trace of resentment suddenly appeared in his heart, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you really hurt me!

He slammed the hammer on the iron embryo, as if to vent the pain in his heart in his hand, when he picked up the hammer high again, suddenly a faint voice came from the door of the iron shop: "Iron striker, I want to buy a treasure knife!" ”

Hearing that familiar voice, the raised arm suddenly froze in the air, and Cao Cao followed the voice with a shocked face, his eyes full of disbelief.

Sun Binshuo, who was dressed in green clothes, put his hands behind him, Shi Shiran stepped into the shop, he looked around left and right, and then his eyes fell on Cao Cao's face, and pretended to be surprised: "Why is it Meng De?" ”

"Humph!" Cao Cao sneered, and casually threw the hammer in his hand on the ground: "Don't come to this set!" If you come to kill me today, do it!" If it's a ....... who came to make fun of it."

He laughed miserably: "Do you think that with my current situation, I still care about this? ”

"Mengde!" A complicated look flashed in Sun Binshuo's eyes: "You are wrong, you are wrong, follow Yuan Shao!" ”

"What about you?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically: "I heard that you followed Nanying, but why didn't you find your name in the sequence of Bohai Eagle Generals?" ”

"Hahaha!" Sun Binshuo let out a long laugh, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the silver shining eagle inside, and said proudly: "What do you say? ”

"Got it!" Cao Cao's body trembled, and he said dejectedly: "It turns out that Yingyang Zhonglang will rely on you so much, and he will hide you completely, and he must have a heavy responsibility!" ”

"That's nature!" Sun Binshuo smiled and nodded, and said happily: "When I followed General Nan at the beginning, I still had a last resort, but now that I think about it, it is really the wisest decision in this life!" ”

"In that case!" Cao Cao exhaled and said, "I believe you are not here to kill me!" So what are you here for? Didn't you come to recruit me at the behest of General Nan? ”

"How wise is General Nan?" Sun Binshuo shook his head and said, "Of course he knows that with Meng De's arrogance, he will not be easily controlled by others. I am here to bring a deep friendship with the general! ”

"What?" Cao Cao was stunned again.

"You come with me!" Sun Binshuo turned around and walked out of the iron shop.

Cao Cao followed closely with a nervous heart, and the moment he stepped out of the iron shop, the dazzling sunlight almost pierced him from opening his eyes, and he was shocked to realize that he had been living in the depths of the house for many days in order to avoid being chased and killed, and it was difficult to adapt to the sunlight for a while....... strong sadness arose, and he suddenly found himself like a mouse hidden in the dark!

"Get in the car! Mengde! Sun Binshuo pointed to a carriage lane in front of him: "The horse is a good horse, the car is a good car, and there are five hundred gold in the car." It's only a hundred miles to go to Qiaoxian County, and I hope that Meng De can take this opportunity to return to his hometown and make great achievements from then on! ”、

"As for safety along the way?" He smiled slightly, straightened his chest and said: "If someone can move a single hair of Meng De, my Sun Binshuo will be written in reverse from now on!" ”

"Why?" Cao Cao's body shook, and tears couldn't stop filling his eyes: "I owe General Yingyang Zhonglang a favor that is difficult to repay for a long time, why does he still treat me so kindly?" ”

"My general said that Meng De is a man of good fortune and a rare friend. He doesn't ask for anything in return, but he has one request! Sun Binshuo was also full of emotion.

"What requirements?" Cao Cao's whole person seemed to regain the brilliance of hope, and he couldn't wait to say: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely live up to the high expectations of the general!" ”

"The following are the general's original words: If one day in the future, Meng De and I will face off on the battlefield, and each other will rely on their own abilities, regardless of life or death...... But if I am lucky enough to win, Mende must do what he is told, and never have any more dissenting intentions! Sun Binshuo relayed, but his face was full of disapproval, obviously thinking that with this down-and-out person in front of him, how could he become a fierce rival of Nanying in the future?

"What?" Cao Cao's whole person seemed to be stunned, and he only shouted in a low voice after a while: "General, he? He thinks I'm going to be able to grow up to be an enemy of him? ”

"Mengde! The general attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and can be called a masterpiece of a generation! Sun Binshuo patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Although you are a brother, I don't think you can reach that height...... However, if there is a day, please think about the kindness of the general to you! You, do it for yourself! ”

He strode away without looking back: "Mengde, have a good trip!" ”

Cao Cao was left alone in the local area, and he did not move for a long time. After a long time, a smile suddenly spread from his mouth: "The world says that Ying Yang Zhonglang will turn a word into a prophecy, and the prophecy he says should not be fulfilled...... So? Will my Cao Cao really have a bright future? ”

"Hahaha! Let's start with the crusade against Dong Zhuo's dog thief! With a long laugh, Cao Cao jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage away. (To be continued......)
