In March, the earth warmed up and the weather gradually improved.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass in Yang (now Luoyang), a wide and flat area, a huge camp was built here. This place is a camp where princes from all walks of life gather. In the camp, there were all the princes who came to participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and all the princes stationed their troops in the camp.

As the initiator of the discussion of Dong, Cao Cao had arrived early. Cao Cao scattered all his family wealth, coupled with the help of Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other family brothers, as well as the help of the noble gentry Wei Kai, organized 6,000 soldiers to come, and his army was stationed in the northwest corner of the camp, next to Yuan Shao's army in the north.

In the tent, Cao Cao looked at the list of princes who had arrived in his hand, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Most of the princes who participated in the alliance had already arrived, but in Cao Cao's heart, there was still a person with a very heavy weight who did not arrive, and this person was none other than Wang Lei, the minister of Zhongshan who had given him advice. The princes of the world, such as Yuan Shao of Bohai County, Yuan Shu, the general of Huben Zhonglang, and Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha in Jiangdong, have all arrived, but the Jizhou army and the Youzhou army have not yet arrived.

Today, only these two armies remain.

"Report!!"

A loud voice came from outside the tent.

A soldier ran in, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General Qiyu, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan and Jizhou Han Fu are coming with their troops and are about to arrive at the gate of the camp." "After Cao Cao raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, he was known as General Fenwu, so the soldiers called him a general.

"Good!"

Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed, stood up, and said, "Go, follow me out to greet you." ”

"Slow down!"

An elegant voice came from the tent.

The man who spoke was a young man in his early twenties, white-faced, and dressed in white, sitting on the left side of the tent. He wears a scarf on his head and smiles on his eyebrows, giving people a sunny and free feeling. This person's name is Xi Zhicai, and he is a strategist recruited by Cao Cao when he returned to Chenliu County to raise troops against Dong Zhuo.

Cao Cao stopped and asked, "Is there something wrong with the military advisor?" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said, "Does the lord know the relationship between Han Fu and Yuan Shao?" ”

Cao Cao paused slightly, his face showed a sudden look, and immediately, Cao Cao's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, I know very well the dirt between Han Fu and Yuan Shao. But if it is because of Yuan Shao that it affects the principle of my work, it is impossible. Wang Lei is my close friend, and now Wang Lei has followed Han Fu to participate in the discussion, I must personally greet him, this is what I should do. ”

After speaking, Cao Cao stepped out of the camp and went to the front camp to greet him.

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao's departing back, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that the lord is really stubborn! But such a stubborn and insistent Cao Cao made Xi Zhicai admire.

Cao Cao personally greeted him, and he came to the gate of the camp to wait.

It didn't take long for two armies to arrive.

The soldiers of the army galloped, and at a glance, they covered the sky and the sun, and they were really imposing.

The first three people, the front is Jizhou Mu Hanfu. He was dressed in a sky-blue robe, covered with an armor, an iron helmet, and a sword hanging from his waist. The two people behind Han Fu came side by side, one on the left was Gongsun Zhan, and the other on the right was Wang Lei.

I saw Gongsun Chan holding a white horse in his crotch, wearing silver-white armor, advancing with his head held high, and his edge was exposed. Wang Lei is very low-key compared to Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan, he wears a simple military uniform, armor, iron helmet, riding forward, there is nothing particularly outstanding, the only thing that stands out is that he is more burly and stocky than Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan.

The three of them led the army to come, and after Cao Cao saw Wang Lei, his eyes met, and Cao Cao bowed his head lightly.

Confidants see each other, look at each other and smile, all without words.

Cao Cao looked at Han Fu, and after Han Fu turned over and dismounted, he strode up, clasped his fists and said, "Cao Cao has been waiting for Lord Muhan of Jizhou and Gongsun of Youzhou for a long time, please inside!" ”

"Thank you!"

Han Fu and Gongsun Chan thanked him.

After Cao Cao led people into the barracks, he introduced: "The arrangement of the barracks, the north of the camp is the place where Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers camped, the south of the camp is the place where Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, Jiangdong, is stationed, the northwest corner of the camp is the place where the soldiers under my command are camped, and the northeast of the camp is the place where Gongsun Taishou and Hanzhou Mu are camped. The rest of the princes were stationed in the rest of the region. ”

Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan nodded, but Wang Lei's mind was alive.

This ranking also has a certain amount of exquisiteness!

The ancients paid attention to sitting in the north and facing south, and the direction due north was undoubtedly the position of the overlord of the princes. Yuan Shao was stationed in the north directly, obviously wanting to be the overlord of the princes!

"Hmph, think beautifully!"

Wang Lei's eyes froze, and he already had a plan in his heart.

He followed Han Fu into the camp, and after Cao Cao settled Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan, he privately told Wang Lei that he would leave time for Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan to adjust and rest today, and the princes would meet early tomorrow morning. After Cao Cao left, Gongsun Zhan also went to his camp to rest.

After Wang Lei thought about it, he came to Han Fu's tent.

Han Fu sat in the tent with a calm expression.

In fact, Han Fu didn't approve of the matter of courting Dong, he felt that Dong Zhuo's strength was too strong to be an enemy of him. However, the princes responded one after another, and even Wang Lei agreed, so he had to participate.

Han Fu saw that Wang Lei was also worried, and asked, "Wang Lei, is there anything to find this official?" No matter what difficulties you encounter, just say it, and the official will make decisions for you. ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said: "I didn't encounter difficulties in my humble position, but I was distressed because of the affairs of adults. ”

Han Fu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Lei said: "The princes will meet the alliance, and there are many princes from all walks of life involved, and when the alliance will be met tomorrow, an alliance leader will definitely be selected." According to the current order of army stationing, as well as Yuan Shao's ambitions, I am afraid that Yuan Shao, who is stationed in the north, will become the leader of the alliance. My lord, please think about it, Yuan Shao is your subordinate and a member of Jizhou, if Yuan Shao is the leader of the princes, where will you be placed? What's more, Yuan Shao is eyeing Jizhou, and Yuan Shao has already attacked Hejian and Zhongshan, if Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, after his prestige rises, it will be even more unfavorable to you! This is ignoring your presence. ”

Brush!!

Han Fu's face changed greatly, his eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted: "Yuan Shaoxiang is the leader of the princes, it is absolutely impossible!" As long as I'm here, I won't say yes. ”

Wang Lei laughed in his heart, but said with a serious face: "As long as the adults don't agree with Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, they will know what to do tomorrow." When the time comes, we ...... Hey, it must be fun. ”

Han Fu said uneasily: "Is it possible to do this?" ”

Wang Lei raised his head and said: "If there is anything that can't be done, adults dare to do it, it must be possible." ”

Han Fu pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.
