Early the next morning, all the princes gathered together, and Cao Cao saw Kong kneeling on the side with a disillusioned face, and his eyes lit up, "Gongxu, you are okay!" ”

Liu Daiye was very grateful for what Kong had done, and apologized deeply for the fact that he wanted to help him but was beaten to the ground, and came over and grabbed his sleeve, "It was Gongxu who saved me, how should I repay you!" ”

Kong grinned, "You and I were originally friends, and now we are working together to recruit Cheng Yun, don't care about these details, it's a pity that I didn't make a contribution, but was beaten by Cheng Yun." ”

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder, "You know the righteousness, we all see it." Don't talk nonsense, if you want to go to the brothers' place in the future, you can just let me know. ”

Qiao Mao also came in, saw the three of them smiling Yan Yan, had relatives in their hearts, smiled at Cao Cao, was embarrassed to come over, and sat next to Yuan Yi.

Liu Dai snorted coldly, "If it weren't for this shameless scum being blinded by lard, Cheng Yun's troops who attacked the camp yesterday might have been able to be dragged by us and dragged to Meng De." Meng De's soldiers are strong, and they will definitely be able to beat them all over the ground to find teeth. ”

Cao Cao sighed, "Although this Qiao Yuanwei has no strategy and less wisdom, but after all, he is still interested in the allies, Gongshan will let him go first, and then discuss it later, how about it?" ”

"For your sake." Liu Dai has no soldiers in his hands now, and he can't find trouble with Qiao Mao, and he has too many cruel words, if he strikes first, then he will really suffer.

Lu Bu was the last to come in, and he didn't speak when he came in, he walked straight to his place and sat down, Cao Cao nodded and took the lead in speaking, "Yesterday, the Gongshan Department was attacked, and the entire army was almost wiped out. Gongxu went to help, but was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. ”

Looking around at everyone, Cao Cao said lightly, "This is a declaration of war." This is him Cheng Wenying, declaring war with our eighteen-way princes! Do you have anything to say? ”

Bao Xin stood up, "Instead of waiting for the other three groups of men to attack together, we should start attacking first." Our Eastern Route Army has 70,000 horses, and he Cheng Wen should be full of battles, and there are only 30,000 (the Kwantung Coalition Army does not know that the Yellow Turban supports 30,000 soldiers) and horses are stationed in the Tiger Prison, in case the other two roads also resist, what is the difference between us going out early and going out late? ”

Wu Anguo, as the representative of Kong Rong, followed Bao Xin to send troops, of course, he had to support Bao Xin, and echoed his words, "We have 70,000 coalition troops, as long as we fight steadily and push to the Tiger Prison, there will be no problem." ”

Tao Qian sent three thousand Danyang soldiers to help, and the leader was Cao Bao, a famous man in Xuzhou, he and Tao Qian's thoughts were very consistent, save yourself, and the mess would be over, if you can't send troops, try not to send troops, and never send troops first if you can send troops later, which is also one of the reasons why Tao Qian asked him to come.

Tao Qian has been following Luoyang closely, belonging to the staunch pro-imperial party, oh, don't get me wrong, unlike Cao Cao's royalists,

He doesn't care who the emperor is in his hands, whether he has power or not, he only cares about his name, as long as you stamp the stamp of the holy decree, not an edict, then I will definitely listen.

If it weren't for Guangling Zhang Chao in the south, Baoxin in Jibei in the north, and Yuzhou Kong and Yanzhou Liu Dai in the west, who would have to come all the way to follow you to rebel? Aren't you afraid that you won't be cleaned up by you?

Cao Bao slowly stood up, "You are all great sages, and you understand the truth of this act very clearly. Since we agreed to send troops at the same time, why do you want to do it first? Could it be that like in the time of the death of Qin, the one who entered Luoyang first could be called king? I beg to differ. ”

Zhang Miao was very polite, and his trust in Cao Bao, a famous scholar in Xuzhou, exceeded his trust in Cao Cao, the descendant of the eunuch, and nodded, "Meng Yin is right, since there is already an agreement, it cannot be easily disobeyed." If we break the agreement and attack first, we will win, and we will take the credit; Defeated, it is we who are adventurous. This is not advisable. ”

Zang Hong looked a little anxious, this is not the time to be pedantic! Pulled Zhang Chao's sleeve, and quickly expressed his stance at this time, he couldn't continue to talk to the mud!

Zhang Chao nodded and stood up, but did not develop according to his wishes, but followed Zhang Miao's opinion, "I agreed to advance and retreat together, how can I take the lead, I also think it's inappropriate." We didn't take down their abilities in a short period of time, but instead made several other people question our minds. ”

Yuan Yi had no opinion on when to send troops, but when he heard Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's statement, his heart moved slightly, his two cousins were not generous people, in case they were misunderstood by the two, the gains outweighed the losses, so he knocked on the table, "Why don't you send an urgent letter first and inform the others?" ”

Qiao Mao nodded, "It's better to let them know, and if they don't agree, we'll discuss it again." ”

Liu Dai slapped the table, "Then send a messenger to inform you, and send troops directly on the other hand, and fight until the tiger prison is closed first!" ”

Kong had no soldiers, and his voice became lower, so he could only breathe in a low voice, "The soldiers and horses under my command are all damaged, and I want to go back to Yuzhou to recruit soldiers and horses again, and then come to support you." ”

Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu didn't speak, and wanted to ask his opinion, Lu Bu had the most soldiers and horses in his hands, and he also had the greatest right to speak.

Lu Bu smiled coldly, "That's a nice thing, let's attack first?" If you want to attack, what about the grain and grass? What about military salaries? Yuan Shu, who supervised the grain, did not move, and no one could act at will, otherwise he would be cut off from the grain route, how would he live? ”

Cao Cao stood up and kicked over the table, "You guys really don't have a big picture!" Why didn't they dare to go north to fight Yuan Shao? Why didn't they dare to go south to fight Yuan Shu? On the contrary, it was the Kwantung Coalition that came to fight the largest number of us? Well? It must be because of him, Cheng Yun, Cheng Wenying, is on East Road! ”

Cao Cao clenched his fists, "As long as Cheng Wenying is caught, won't this Luoyang defense collapse in an instant?" Never again like last night

Such damage! ”

Bao Xin agreed with him, "If we let go of this opportunity and let him escape back to the tiger prison with a high wall, we will easily take him down, it will be a fool's dream!" There's never been a better time to do it! So, what are you waiting for! ”

"Look, look, what's going on?" Cao Bao's yin and yang are weird, "Is it like the scene of rushing to Chang'an when Qin died?" You just want to take down Cheng Yun first, so that the other roads will return in vain! If you eat the benefits yourself, your reputation will be damaged! ”

Wu Anguo smashed the table with a hammer, and raised the hammer to point at Cao Bao, "This is why you avoided the war?" Well? I'm afraid that you have already had a different heart, and you don't want to fight! ”

Cao Bao sneered, "Wu Anguo, don't spew blood, no one will believe it." Can such a shoddy agitation work for me? If you want to fight, you will fight it yourself, and if you fight it, all the credit will be yours, and you only need to explain it to the other roads. If you can't fight it, you will be dealt with by military law, and you can dare to make a military order? ”

"I set you up..."

Bao Xin grabbed Wu Anguo, who was angry and wanted to hurt people, and stood up, "Since the Tao is different, then we don't conspire with each other." Mengde, let's go together! ”

Cao Cao also hesitated, knowing that Cheng Yun might have a lot of people, so he didn't report to the group, but just divided the troops to send it, I'm afraid it was not appropriate.

"Feng Xian, can you join us? I'll pay the wages in advance! Cao Cao gritted his teeth, but still chose to try to negotiate with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu doesn't care, it's okay for him to send troops whenever he wants, as long as he doesn't deduct the soldiers' salaries and goes against Cheng Yun, the sooner and the more intense, the better.

Ignoring the lively crowd, the three forces quickly gathered troops and horses, ready to fight, Lu Bu's army was the most, 30,000 people, went straight to Yangwu County, and fought to take it, if it can't be taken, Cheng Yun and others should be blocked in the city as much as possible and not released, so that it can be decided in a battle.

Cao Cao's 5,000 men and horses went to the south of Yangwu, detoured the road to cut off the rear grain road, and Bao Xinwu Anguo's 5,000 men and horses went to the north of Yangwu to block the reinforcements of Juan County.

Although Cheng Yun didn't know that the three of them had been assigned to keep him in Yangwu, he knew that it was impossible to stay here after being caught off guard by the Kwantung Coalition Army.

As soon as Huang Zhonghuaxiong, Xu Rong and others came back, Cheng Yun led people to retreat to Juan County to observe the form, and returned Yangwu to Cai Xi, Cai Xi was very surprised, "Where are you going, little uncle?" ”

Cheng Yun patted him on the shoulder, "Let's retreat in a roundabout way first, and when Yangwu waits for the people of the Kwantung Coalition Army to come, we will give it to them, so we don't have to resist to the death." ”

Although Cai Xi didn't know why, he still nodded, Cheng Yun hummed, and took the 30,000 soldiers under his command to take the county directly.
