"......, once the situation is back in Dong Zhuo's hands, it will be too late by then, and everything will be over......!" Cao Zang said with a somewhat excited expression in the end. 【Latest chapter reading. 】
For a while, the princes present once again fell into silence.
Although all this is Cao Zang's personal speculation, it is not unreasonable, maybe it is really as Cao Zang guessed, once Dong Zhuo puts the situation back in his hands again, then ......?
For a while, the princes from all walks of life present suddenly felt a cold sweat behind them.
Now that the coalition is strong, the arrogant and ferocious Dong Zhuo does not dare to act rashly, but once the coalition is disbanded, the princes and overlords like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, whose power should not be underestimated, may not be afraid of Dong Zhuo, but these weak princes are definitely not Dong Zhuo's opponents, and even if they take the initiative to surrender and submit to obedience, it is not certain whether he Dong Zhuo will agree!
"Well, that's right! A girl's family can have such a vision, and be able to point out the key crux of the problem, which is really embarrassing for us people!
Meng Degong, it is really a blessing for you to have such a daughter! Ma Teng, who had not spoken since the formation of the coalition army, couldn't help but praise Cao Zang's words when he heard it.
Speaking of Maten.
This time, Ma Teng, who led the army to Luoyang in response to Yuan Shao's edict, as Cao Zang said before, through these days of contact, Ma Teng deeply realized the mutual suspicion and the ugly face of fighting for power and profit between princes from all walks of life.
It also made Ma Teng more and more able to appreciate the meaningful advice left by Wang Tianjie when he left Xiliang.
The Central Plains and even the imperial court must not be too involved in the complicated situation, otherwise it will .......
As for some people's groundless accusations and slanders against Wang Tianjie, although Ma Teng was secretly angry in his heart, he still held back.
Ma Teng also believes that with Wang Tianjie's character, he will never be forced and pressured to join Dong Zhuo's ranks!
Don't say what you love to say, just say it, as long as you know it!
However, after hearing Cao Zang's words just now, Ma Teng finally couldn't help but applaud Cao Zang's knot.
"Hehe, Shou Chenggong, I have a good reputation for the little girl!
To be honest, the little girl is young and has not been deeply involved in the world, and Cao Cao also wants to apologize for the little girl's excessive rhetoric in some places just now! Cao Cao was very modest and polite on the surface, but at the same time, his tone revealed satisfaction and pride in his daughter.
"Zang'er, after all, all the people sitting here are your elders, you must pay attention to your tone when you speak, and apologize to your elders soon!" That is, Cao Cao said to Cao Zang beside him.
In fact, this is his Cao Cao's cleverness. Cao Cao positioned Yuan Shao and the others as Cao Zang's elders, so that no matter what was wrong with the younger generations, as elders, they had no reason to blame Cao Zang for their crimes.
"Cao Zang was offended a lot just now, and I ask my uncles and uncles to forgive me!" Cao Zang got up and saluted everyone slightly.
"Huh! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! Since you have to have the attitude of an elder as an elder, Yuan Shao said with a smile on the surface.
"Ben Chu Gong, and all of you, although our coalition army is huge now, please don't forget that it is precisely because of this that we still have a key factor that is extremely unfavorable to our coalition army, that is, the problem of our coalition army's daily food and grass supply!
With such a huge army of hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in our coalition army, the grain and grass consumed every day is also very terrifying, I don't know how many days the grain and grass in your hands can support the coalition army to consume like this? Cao Cao got up and looked around at the princes of the world and said slowly.
"As we all know, since the eastern capital of Luoyang as the capital, it is to prevent foreign enemies from invading and encircling, and constantly repair the outer city defense of Luoyang, making the whole Luoyang a famous fortified city in the world.
At the same time, in order to prevent Luoyang from being surrounded by the enemy, an extremely large amount of grain and grass reserves were hoarded in the city to prepare for a long-term attack and protracted war!
The masters who once participated in the design of Luoyang City Defense once said: If you want to break Luoyang City, you must at least surpass Luoyang City by more than ten times in the number of troops, and have a steady supply of grain and grass as a guarantee!
With the current strength of our coalition army, I wonder if you can break through Luoyang in a short period of time? Cao Cao looked around at everyone and asked.
When the princes present heard this, they once again fell into silence.
Oh, yes! Although the coalition army is extremely large on the surface, in the face of Luoyang, a small number of fortified cities that are famous in the world, such a huge coalition army can hold out for a few days?
"Therefore, I think the key now is that we must find out Wang Tianjie's final position, so that our coalition forces can make the next decision as soon as possible!" Cao Cao proposed.
"However, even if Wang Tianjie's position is on our side, but Wang Tianjie is still in Luoyang City after all, and Dong Zhuo must increase patrols and censorship in the city just in case, and we will never have the opportunity to see Wang Tianjie himself, how can we get Wang Tianjie's position move?" Liu Bei on the side obviously agreed with Cao Cao's point of view, but the difficulties in front of them could not help but give them a headache.
"Xuande Gong is right!
It is impossible for all of us present to see Wang Tianjie, so we must find a way to find a person in Luoyang City who is at peace with Dong Zhuo on the surface, and even has to gain his trust Dong Zhuo, but at the same time is absolutely against Dong Zhuo in secret! Cao Cao was also very aware of this and said slowly.
It's easy to say, but how easy is it to find such a person to talk to?
At this time, I saw Zhou Yu next to Sun Jian, who didn't know what to say in Sun Jian's ear?
"Huh! Since, Meng Degong first proposed, there must be a suitable candidate in mind! Sun Jian asked with a smile.
When the other princes heard Sun Jian say this, they all focused their eyes on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked thoughtfully at Zhou Yu beside Sun Jian and said, "Yes, Meng De does have such a candidate in his heart......!" ”
