The time of March passed in a flash, and in these three months, a lot of things really happened in Luoyang City.

Wu Fu's assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, but Wu Fu was like a nail, piercing a layer of sky, and then the assassination of Dong Zhuo began to become more and more frequent, and in just a few months, there were already five assassinations of Dong Zhuo.

This made Dong Zhuo's liver prosperous, that time was just an ordinary meeting, Situ Ding Palace was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's behavior, shouted in front of the public, and complained bitterly about his crimes, Dong Zhuo naturally did not do it, and also killed Ding Gong brutally.

Although Dong Zhuo has been brutal since then, so that the hundred officials dare not speak out, but now that Dong Zhuo has killed so many people, it has stirred up a thousand waves in the hearts of many people, if one thing goes to the extreme, then it will only develop in the direction of another extreme.

Therefore, the people who oppose Dong Zhuo began to become more and more, Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, poisoned the young emperor, killed innocents indiscriminately, and dictated power, which has caused the indignation of the world, Dong Zhuo must find a way to consolidate his position and enhance the military power in his hands in the face of such a situation.

Therefore, he also began to clean up the people who opposed him in Luoyang one by one, and it is said that Yuan Shao was dragged over by him for interrogation.

But it is rumored that Yuan Shao is a very tough person, upright, not afraid of rape, when Dong Zhuo forcibly pulled him into the palace, Yuan Shao did not have the slightest fear because of this, he was still a heroic and upright, unmoved, Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Shao and did not cooperate at all, and the whole person also stood up, directly pointed to the saber on his waist, and said to Yuan Shao: "Do you want to try whether the saber on my waist is sharp!" ”

However, when Yuan Shao heard this, he snorted coldly, and also pointed to the saber on his waist and asked: "The knife on your waist is very sharp, do you think that the saber on my waist is very blunt, you are not the only hero in the world!" ”

Yuan Shao's words seemed to really scare Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao saw that Dong Zhuo was not talking, so he went out of the palace directly, and no one dared to stop Yuan Shao on the way.

This matter has begun to become widely circulated among the hundred officials in Luoyang, and when Cao Xuan received this news from Che Wu, he couldn't help frowning, Yuan Shao's courage was inevitably too big, is this a little inconsistent with the actual situation?

And Che Wu's final reply to Cao Xing was: "Yuan Shao's last sentence to Dong Zhuo is that he will go back and discuss with his uncle one or two, and then give Dong Zhuo an answer!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Xing also understood, Yuan Shao deliberately increased his fame, so he created the first sentence, Yuan Shao said the second sentence is more likely, he deliberately mentioned his uncle's name, saying that he wanted to go back and discuss with Yuan Kui, when Dong Zhuo heard Yuan Kui's name, he still had some scruples.

Dong Zhuo is not a stupid person, he knows that violence can solve many problems, but it can't solve all problems, he kills these old ministers in the court who should be killed, and they should be killed, although it is refreshing for a while, but there are many problems left.

If he kills innocents so unscrupulously and indiscriminately, especially those high-ranking and powerful ministers, I am afraid that it will really cause some big trouble, Dong Zhuo thinks that if he can get the support of those old ministers and those families, then his position as a prince will not be stable.

So when Yuan Shao moved Yuan Kui out, Dong Zhuo was indeed a little hesitant, and Yuan Shao also took advantage of this gap to run home directly.

After listening to this narrative, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Luoyang City is really turbulent.

However, within a few days, Cao Xuan had no time to think about other things, because Dong Zhuo seemed to have begun to target him Cao Xing.

News came from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo seemed to want to absorb Cao Xing's troops and horses, so that Cao Xing's troops and horses would directly belong to his Taishi and be controlled by him.

For this matter, Cao Xing naturally didn't do it, why did the soldiers and horses he trained should be handed over to Dong Zhuo?

However, for this matter, how could Cao Xing not do it, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, Cao Xing is now just a small partial general, what qualifications do he have to call him, so he didn't say a word, and he had already sent officials to take over Cao Xing's 8,000 men. Now the people sent by Dong Zhuo seem to have arrived at the gate of Cao Xing's military camp.

"Lord, what should I do? Those people are at the door, you see if we want to blast them out! ”

"Lord, these 8,000 soldiers and horses in our hands are personally trained by you with countless painstaking efforts, and you must not hand them over in two sentences!"

Listening to Che Wu and Shi A's advice, Cao Xuan smiled, these more than 8,000 soldiers and horses have all been trained by Cao Xuan alone in the past year and a half, Cao Xuan dare not say that these sergeants are all loyal to him, but most of them will definitely obey his orders.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan smiled, and then said to Shi A: "You go to receive Dong Zhuo's people first, and Che Wu will do what I order!" ”

Cao Xuan said something to the two of them, and the two of them all took the orders and left, first Che Wu went to the door, greeted Dong Zhuo's people, and placed them in one place, after almost a quarter of an hour, Cao Xuan finally came over, Cao Xuan glanced at it, there were only about 10 people in this group, and what surprised Cao Xuan was that he actually knew the general who took the lead, and it was Zhang Ji who he had confessed to in Yongzhou.

Zhang Ji and Cao Xing were in Xiliang, more or less unpleasant, but today it was Zhang Jilai and Cao Xing who were talking about the integration of the army, and it is estimated that there will be some problems in it.

"Hehe, General Cao Xing is under Zhang Ji, he is a captain under the Taishi's account, I am here today for nothing else, just to discuss with you, when will your soldiers and horses be incorporated under the Taishi, of course, the Taishi will not treat you badly, and will definitely give you high-ranking officials, but when the time comes, everyone can charge into battle together, isn't it happy, hahaha!"

Zhang Ji pretended not to recognize Cao Xing, showing a businesslike appearance, but Cao Xing could hear it, and Zhang Ji's words were prickly.

Zhang Ji seems to be telling Cao Xing, intentionally or unintentionally, that once he enters Dong Zhuo's command, Cao Xing's life will not be easy, and he, Zhang Ji, will only transform into Cao Xing's boss.

"Hehe, it turned out to be General Zhang, since it was the order of the Taishi, then all this is easy to say, I always feel that my position as a general is a little small, and I hope that the Taishi will be promoted to one or two, go, let's talk while walking!"

Cao Xuan pretended not to understand, but instead showed a very enthusiastic look, and began to greet this Zhang Ji constantly, but Cao Xuan couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, Zhang Ji looked at Cao Xuan with some puzzlement, and asked Cao Xuan why he sighed, Cao Xuan looked directly at Zhang Ji and said.

"Hehe, I'm afraid General Zhang doesn't know, it's me Cao Xing who has no way to govern the army, I told the court that I wanted 8,000 soldiers and horses, thinking that I could train an iron army that dared to charge for the court and be shrouded in horse leather, but now it's ......" Speaking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh: "I do overestimate my ability, how can these 8,000 soldiers and horses be so good to command, because I am not strict in governing the army, resulting in chaos in military discipline, these 8,000 men and horses have obviously become arrogant generals, disobeying orders, If these 8,000 soldiers and horses are placed under the command of the Taishi, I am afraid that it will disrupt the military regulations and military discipline formulated by the Taishi! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ji also laughed twice, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, confiscating Cao Xing's actual command of these 8,000 soldiers and horses, and no one would do anything on him, so Zhang Ji was instantly determined, Cao Xing said this, it was nothing more than wanting to push back and prevent Zhang Ji from confiscating his military power.

"What General Cao said, I can't hide it, I, Zhang Ji, have been marching and fighting with the Taishi all the way since the weak crown, in our Xiliang place, the people are fierce, and every soldier is the kind of arrogant general, but when he came to the command of the Taishi, the same was the training to obey and obey, and finally the Taishi became his tiger and wolf division, so General Cao, you don't have to worry at all, no matter how crazy the soldiers under your command are, you can only obey and lie down under the command of the Taishi!"

Zhang Ji's words were not finished, but there was a thunderous sound in front of him, which startled Zhang Jidu, and he looked at it only to see that in front of him, there was a row of infantry, about a hundred or so, slowly moving forward under the leadership of Che Wu.

"General Cao, what are you ......" Zhang Ji looked at Cao Xing, and seemed to still have some doubts about Cao Xing's meaning, but Che Wu in front of him let out a loud roar again, only to see that the hundred infantry he brought were all in unison with a roar of killing, under Che Wu's order, they took out their swords, took neat steps, smashed the shield on the ground, and then picked it up uniformly, the earth seemed to be shaking, and the army exuded it was like a murderous momentum.

Looking at this group of soldiers, at this moment, the one with a knife and armor was slowly walking towards him, Zhang Ji was frightened, he knew that Cao Xuan would definitely not hand over the military power so easily, so he was a little flustered now, if these more than 100 soldiers pressed up, with the dozen or so personal soldiers he brought, where could he stop it.

"Cao, Cao, what do you mean!"

However, Cao Xing smiled hehehe: "General Zhang, I told you a long time ago, this group of soldiers under my command is really disobedient, you see that you finally came to my trip, they behaved like this, they really me off!" ”

"Okay, okay, you let them ......" Zhang Ji wanted Cao Xuan to quickly give an order to let the hundred soldiers retreat quickly, he was here to collect the military power today, not to see the performance, but Cao Xuan spread his hands helplessly, and directly told Zhang Ji that he couldn't order this group of soldiers at all.

Under the leadership of Che Wu, this group of soldiers approached Zhang Ji step by step, staring at Zhang Ji with their fierce eyes all the time, as if they were ready to pounce on him at any time and tear Zhang Ji to pieces.
