After Yuan Shao, Cao Cao finally fled Luoyang.

Although Yuan Shao wanted Cao Cao to stay in Luoyang.

But how could Cao Cao be willing to become Dong Zhuo's lackey and ruin his life's reputation.

Although it was rumored that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and absconded from Luoyang.

But whether Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo or not, only Cao Cao himself knows.

Zhao Hui's intelligence officers have not yet been able to break into Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's Mansion.

What happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, only Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo knew about it.

Although Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, it washed away Cao Cao's infamy as Dong Zhuo's lackey.

As soon as he turned around, Cao Cao became a hero who wanted to eliminate harm for the country, but absconded in defeat.

made Cao Cao's image in the eyes of others rise another level.

fled all the way to Chenliu, Cao Cao at this time, in the eyes of the world, is the image of a great hero.

After arriving in Chenliu, Cao Cao easily obtained the funding of the big businessman Wei Hong and began to recruit troops.

Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, was Cao Cao's friend, and did not prevent Cao Cao from recruiting troops in his own territory. On the contrary, he also gave Cao Cao a lot of help.

At this time, the benefits of Cao Cao's fame were fully reflected.

Even if he flees to Luoyang now, his status is far inferior to that of Taishou Zhang Miao.

The two also recruited soldiers and horses in Chenliu, but the talents who came to Cao Cao were far higher than Zhang Miao.

And Cao Cao's own family is also talented. At this time, those who had the ability were called by Cao Cao.

In less than a month, Cao Cao recruited an army of 5,000 people, and among these 5,000 people, the generals who could stand alone were Lejin Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong.

These six people are all generals.

Although Cao Cao is now famous, he has no foundation now, and there are still fewer people who come to him.

Those celebrities and ministers may have noticed Cao Cao at this time, but they have not yet decided to follow Cao Cao, after all, Yuan Shao is more famous now.

Although when he was playing with Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, Yuan Shao failed.

But these celebrities have not been disappointed in Yuan Shao. They were now more inclined to defect to Yuan Shao than to Cao Cao.

With the funding of the big businessman Wei Hong, Cao Cao can now show his strength.

After recruiting 5,000 soldiers, Cao Cao sent out a message, contacted people from all walks of life, and began to prepare for a crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Although he is known as the world's heroes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, there are only more than ten Cao Cao.

There are one hundred and fifty counties in the entire Han Dynasty, and there is not even one-fifth of those who are too guarded and counted as princes along the way, and who are willing to send troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Zhuo did what he did in Luoyang, he was angry and resentful.

But the places are too far away, and many of them are appointed by Dong Zhuo, and they didn't think about crusading against Dong Zhuo.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and Yizhou Mu Liu Yan did not respond to Cao Cao.

As a clan member of the Han family, when they saw Dong Zhuo trampling on the royal majesty, the three royal giants, they all chose to turn a blind eye.

Although Dong Zhuo deserves to die, but the combination of people from all walks of life is just a plate of scattered sand, and it is difficult to succeed.

Dong Zhuo's decades of career as a horse warrior have come to this point with meritorious deeds. It's definitely not for nothing.

And even if Dong Zhuo is overthrown, the emperor is young, and there will be another person who inherits Dong Zhuo's rights.

They only need to wait for the emperor to grow up, Dong Zhuo is already old at that time, and he may even be dead, and everything is naturally back on track.

And there is nothing bad about them continuing to be their soil emperors.

The main ones who were really willing to respond to Cao Cao were the group of people who gathered around Yuan Shao at the beginning.

Because whether it succeeds or not, for them, there are benefits, not harms.

Among these more than ten people, there are not a few who have secretly thought about it, except for those who followed Yuan Shao before.

After Yuan Shao settled in the Bohai Sea, he immediately began to recruit troops and horses, and he was waiting for this day.

When the Yellow Turban Army was first recruited, how many soldiers and horses did the entire Han have?

And now, Yuan Shao is the Taishou of Bohai, and he already has 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Zhao Chao, Liu Dai and others also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under their hands.

The crusade against Dong Zhuo was already set when Yuan Shao left Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was unwilling to accept the fruits of his years of hard work, and was picked by Dong Zhuo like this.

It's just that unlike Cao Cao and others, Cao Cao and his family have already left Luoyang.

And several of Yuan Shao's elders, Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and others, also served as high-ranking officials in Luoyang.

However, Yuan Shao's wife and children all left Luoyang with Yuan Shao before.

The Yuan family is in Luoyang, and there are more than 50 descendants.

Their life and death are no longer in Yuan Shao's consideration.

Everyone knew that as long as Yuan Shao really raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, the people of the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang would definitely not have good fruits to eat.

Even if Yuan Kui and Dong Zhuo reached an agreement at the beginning, in this case, Dong Zhuo can also be determined that the Yuan family tore up the agreement first, and Dong Zhuo will definitely not show mercy to Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji.

Chen Lin, Xu You, Xun Yu and others were all persuading Yuan Shao to postpone the dispatch of troops.

But Yuan Shao did not agree.

Yuan Shao was originally a concubine, and today's achievements are all due to Yuan Shao's own achievements. Although he has the reputation of the Yuan family, there are not many people in the Yuan family who support him.

Yuan Shao is too good compared to the other children of the Yuan family, even if he is a concubine, he will cover up the light of the other children.

Yuan Kui and others were forced to recognize Yuan Shao's status in the Yuan family.

And when Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuoming were fighting in secret, Yuan Kui and other Yuan family elders did not help Yuan Shao.

They all know very well that once Yuan Shao succeeds, they, Yuan Shao's elders, will have to make way for Yuan Shao, and let their juniors climb on their heads, and few people will feel comfortable.

After Yuan Shao's defeat, Yuan Kui immediately compromised like Dong Zhuo. And Yuan Shao, who didn't want to bow his head, could only flee Luoyang.

Yuan Shao had already brought his wife and children to Bohai, and as for the other clansmen of the Yuan family who stayed in Luoyang, their life and death had long been abandoned by Yuan Shao.

If they really all died in the hands of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao would not have a little heartache.

did not listen to the persuasion of Xun Yu and others, Yuan Shao personally led an army of 30,000 and approached Luoyang.

As soon as Yuan Shao moved, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin and others also followed.

The army of King Kuang Gong Sun Zan of Yuan Shao was stationed in Hanoi County, north of the Yellow River.

Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai and other princes of the Ten Roads were in the south of the Yellow River and the east of Luoyang.

And Yuan Shu Sun Jian was in the south of Luoyang, and Sun Jian, who raised troops from Yangzhou, was stationed in Luyang.

The princes of the Eighteenth Route were divided into three armies, and attacked Luoyang, where Dong Zhuo was located, from the north and southeast.

Ma Teng in the west, although he has not yet started to act, is also ready to move.

Dong Zhuo is in a situation where he is surrounded on all sides.

But Dong Zhuo, who has a thirty-year career as a horseman, did not panic under his anger.
