Cao Cao returned to his hometown of Chenliu, scattered his family wealth, and gathered volunteers in the countryside.

Cao Cao has a reputation in the township, and the Cao family is a local family, and there are many applicants. Cao Cao even received the help of Wei Zi, a local businessman, and quickly raised 5,000 elite soldiers.

Moreover, his relatives and brothers are excellent in martial arts, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, who are familiar with the art of war, also came to help him, and his brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong came to meet.

Cao Cao's reputation is also well known in the surrounding counties, and the nearby strong men are Lejin, Li Dian and others have also brought a small group of righteous men to join, so many heroes and heroes have joined, making Cao Cao's army strong and strong, and fierce generals like clouds.

After Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, received the letter to ask for Dong, he quickly raised troops and led his army north to ask for Dong.

Wang Ruisu, the assassin of Jingzhou, was at odds with Sun Jian, and often contempted him because Sun Jian was a military general, and Sun Jian had long been dissatisfied with this!

At this time, someone falsely passed on the imperial history of the text, counted Wang Rui's sins, and asked Sun Jian to get rid of him.

Sun Jian immediately took the text, took advantage of the situation, and used tricks to open the city gate, Wang Rui was desperate, and committed suicide by swallowing gold.

After arriving in Nanyang, Sun Jian asked Nanyang to guard Zhang Shi and supply military rations.

Zhang Zhi was provoked by his subordinates and ignored him. Sun Jian deceived Zhang Zhi into the army in the name of inviting guests to dinner, and beheaded him on the charge of helping Dong Zhuo, Nanyang was shaken, and Sun Jian did not dare to disobey if he asked for something.

Sun Jian met Yuan Shu in Luyang, not only felt the kindness of Yuan Shu in the past, but also respected the prestige of the Yuan family.

In April 189, Dong Zhuo did something even crazier and more rebellious, he instructed Li Ru to poison Liu Bian, who had been demoted to the king of Hongnong, in order to cut off the political attempt of Qiao Mao and others to oppose Dong and restore Liu Bian.

The news of Liu Wei's death soon spread all over the world, and the voices of anti-Dong in all parts of the world became increasingly loud.

Zang Hong of Guangling County persuaded Guangling to guard Zhang Chao too much, and united Chen Liutai to guard Zhang Miao to raise troops together, Cao Cao was in Chenliu, and was invited to join as soon as possible, and then Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, also joined in.

In May, many state pastors, assassins, and county guards in the Kanto region raised troops one after another, forming an alliance in Sujube to jointly discuss Dong.

Since it is an alliance, it is natural that there should be an alliance leader, among the coalition forces at that time, the strongest in terms of strength is the Bingzhou army, but the commander of the Bingzhou army, Lu Bu, did not come in person, but sent Gao Shun, the general of Duliao, and Zhang Liao, the Taishou of Hedong County, to lead the army to the alliance.

Gao Shun met the alliance this time, but he brought seven brigades in one go, in addition to Zhang Liao's honorary third brigade, there were also Cheng Lian's Rong 1st Brigade, Guan Hai's Rong 2nd Brigade, and Zhu Ling's trapped camp 3rd Brigade.

In addition, there are two newly formed brigades, one is the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Bingzhou Army, which was adapted from Hao Zhao's independent brigade, and the brigade commander is naturally Hao Zhao.

The composition of the other brigade was complicated, and some of the officers and soldiers of Wei Xu's Second Brigade of the Trapping Camp, plus the newly recruited prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army who had been educated and reformed, and some of the soldiers of the Changshan State Local Garrison Brigade, directly transferred a battalion from the teaching regiment to serve as officers at all levels.

The number of this reorganized brigade is the Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade of the Second Division, which is also mainly engaged in mountain warfare, and the brigade commander is Yu Ban, the first full-honor graduate of the Shaling Military Academy, and he has become the second cadet among the graduates of the Shaling Military Academy to stand on the throne of the brigade commander.

The first cadet to become a brigade commander was the brigade commander of the third brigade of the servant army.

The last brigade is Zhang He's cavalry brigade, and cavalry is indispensable to deal with the Xiliang cavalry.

Gao Shun brought so many troops here, since Lu Bu arranged it in it, the simplest idea is to let the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade have more actual combat experience, although they have gone to the grassland to fight in turns, but there are no enough opponents on the grassland, and the training value is not as good as before.

Since Lu Bu didn't come, then only Yuan Shao, who is the most popular and admired by the world's heroes, is the most qualified to serve as the leader of the alliance.

Yuan Shao did not shirk, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, he called himself a hussar general, and together with the princes of all parties, he issued a document to discuss Dong Xuan, publicizing that he had the secret decree of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and called on the heroes of the world to rise up against Dong.

The princes from all walks of life who participated in the anti-Dong coalition army included Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai, Chen Liutai Guardian Zhang Miao, Yuzhou Assassin Kong Ling, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, and Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao.

Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Liaoxi County Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Jibei State Minister Bao Xin, Yuan Shao appointed Fenwu General Cao Cao, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Later General Yuan Shu, Beihai State Minister Tang Zhou, Duliao General Gao Shun, Hanoi County Taishou Zhang Liao, etc.

Among them, Han Fu garrisoned Yecheng and was responsible for supplying grain and grass. Yuan Shao, Wang Kuangtun in Hanoi, Kong Lingtun in Yingchuan, Sun Jian and Yuan Shutun in Luyang, and the main force of the coalition forces Gao Shun, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Gongsun Zhan, Tang Zhou and others were stationed in sour jujubes.

Dong Zhuo learned that Yuan Shao was leading the cavalry in Kwantung against him, so he killed Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui and the Yuan clan in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo then sent multiple envoys to persuade the princes from all walks of life. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu brothers killed many messengers, and only Dahonglu Han Rongde was highly respected and saved from death.

In June, it's another hot summer day.

Dong Zhuo ignored the opposition of many ministers and ministers in the court, and forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an, not only the emperor and ministers wanted to move to Chang'an, but even the people and merchants of Luoyang were forced to move into Chang'an.

In such a hot summer, the road from Luoyang to Chang'an was full of newly built tombs, and many innocent people died of heat and thirst on the way to migration.

There were people who did not listen to advice and refused to give up their family business, but they were directly beheaded by the Liangzhou army on the street.

Dong Zhuo also took this opportunity to loot the property of the imperial court, the government and the people in Luoyang, and then set fire to the palace and dwellings to cover up his crimes, making Luoyang, which was once prosperous in the world, become a barren and withered, uninhabited ghost dead city.

On July 5th, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty trekked all the way through the mountains and rivers, slept in the open air, and finally arrived at Chang'an City, and entered the Weiyang Palace, fortunately, the palace of Chang'an was well preserved.

Dong Zhuo led his army to garrison the royal palace outside Luoyang City and continued to confront the Kwantung coalition forces.

However, when the news reached the clouds, Lu Bu couldn't take care of it, because he had a bigger thing waiting for him to do, that is, he was going to be a father, and Chan'er was already pregnant for ten months and gave birth once.

The miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing personally delivered Mrs. Chan'er, and after anxious waiting, the baby's loud cry finally came from the house!

"Congratulations to the lord, the lady gave birth to a boy, and the lord has a successor!" Zhang Zhongjing wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported the good news to Lu Bu, Ding Yuan and others who were waiting in the courtyard.

Lu Bu ignored Zhang Zhongjing's obstruction and broke into the room, but instead of going to see his son, he came to see Chan'er first, and Chan'er's face was full of happy smiles.

"Madame, you've worked hard!"

"What did Lang Jun say, this is our common son, why talk about hard work? Who do you look like? ”

Lu Bu looked at the tightly wrapped baby, although it was newborn, he could see that he was more like himself, and he couldn't put it down.

Chan'er asked him if he could think of a name for his son? Lu Bu thought that it was safer to discuss it with his father-in-law.
