Cao Cao couldn't get an exact answer from Wang Can, and he was inevitably a little disappointed and a little decadent in his heart.

It is very difficult to attack Dong Zhuo without strong reinforcements.

Wang Can's command has broken the barracks, trapped the camp, and the Hanzhong soldiers, although the broken barracks, the trapped camp, and the Hanzhong soldiers add up to more than 1,000 people, but the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Even though Cao Cao and Sun Jian's soldiers were brave and good at fighting and fearless of death, without Wang Can's participation, there would be no flexible cavalry support.

Cavalry?

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Sun Zan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping.

He had an idea in his heart, and immediately walked towards Gongsun Zhan's camp.

If he can get the support of Gongsun Zhan, even if Wang Can does not participate, he can have a mobile force to attack Dong Zhuo. Thinking of this, Cao Cao's slightly cold heart became hot again, his feet were like the wind, he walked very fast, and walked towards Gongsun Zhan's camp quickly.

Walking to Gongsun Zhan's camp, Cao Cao immediately asked the soldiers guarding the camp to report it.

Standing outside the camp, Cao Cao looked at the layout around Gongsun Zhan's camp.

This area was originally where Gongsun Zhan's army was stationed, but there was a small camp next to it.

In the camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were training with their soldiers.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both northerners, tall and big, burly and strong, with rough faces. Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his long hair fluttered under his chin, and he was holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, which was majestic. Zhang Feiyan has a tiger beard, a leopard's head and eyes, a round waist and broad arms, and a snake spear in his hand, domineering and fierce, which is intimidating. The two trained soldiers in the battalion, and their every move was full of strength.

When Cao Cao saw this scene, he secretly sighed in his heart that Liu Bei was unknown, and he was lucky to have two generals, which was really shit luck.

Cao Cao was far away from Guan Yu, but Guan Yu seemed to notice that someone was looking at him.

Turning his eyes, he saw Cao Cao standing outside Gongsun Zhan's tent, and Guan Yu's eyes burst out with a gleam.

Cao Cao saw Guan Yu looking at him, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After a short time, the soldiers who had gone to report the news came out and welcomed Cao Cao to the big tent of Gongsun Zhan. After Cao Cao entered the tent, his eyes swept around the big tent, but he didn't see the figure of Gongsun Zhan, and immediately asked the soldiers who were placing wine and food beside him, "Where is General Gongsun?" Why didn't you see the general? ”

Just as the soldier opened his mouth to answer, hearty laughter came from outside the tent.

Gongsun Zhan, dressed in a white cotton robe, wearing a high crown and a long sword at his waist, lifted the curtain of the tent and strode in.

"Brother Meng De, Zhan is training soldiers in the camp, I heard that Brother Meng De is visiting, I went to wash up, let Brother Meng De wait for a long time, forgive me!" Gongsun Zhan's expression was calm and chic, his voice was thick and loud, and he seemed to see Cao Cao as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and his demeanor exuded an extraordinary bearing.

Cao Cao said: "Bo Gui (Gongsun Zhan's character), please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting, and disturbing me." ”

Gongsun Chan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The two of them met politely, you come and go, it's not lively.

Cao Cao said: "Brother Bogui, when I just entered the camp, I saw that there was a separate camp next to it, and it turned out to be Liu Bei's brother training soldiers, isn't this Liu Bei a general under Brother Bogui?" Why did he open up a camp alone, could it be that Liu Bei belonged to a separate battalion? ”

The corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth twitched, and explained: "Zan led the troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and there was no Liu Bei under his command, but when Liu Bei came to crusade against Dong Zhuo with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and hundreds of soldiers, we met on the road. Since Liu Bei and I used to be classmates, I asked Liu Bei and Zan to come together, but Liu Bei's soldiers were all trained separately and had nothing to do with Zan ...... Well, you don't have to think about these trivial things, Brother Meng De came this time, is there anything important? ”

Cao Cao said: "Since Brother Bogui asked, Cao will get straight to the point." ”

Gongsun Chan nodded, waiting for Cao Cao's next words.

Cao Cao said: "In today's battle with Dong Zhuo, the princes have a recognition of Dong Zhuo's strength, and the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy casualties, so they all have the idea of cowardice, which is very unfavorable to the crusade against Dong Zhuo. Cao came here to visit Brother Bo Gui, just to deliberately obtain the support of Brother Bo Gui, and prepared to continue to attack Dong Zhuo and go straight to Luoyang. ”

Gongsun Chan listened, and was silent.

Cowardice!

Gongsun Chan also had such thoughts in his heart, but Gongsun Chan was not afraid of Dong Zhuo, but worried about fighting Dong Zhuo, and his soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and he failed to defeat Dong Zhuo. If Gongsun Chan loses his troops and loses his generals, his own strength will be greatly reduced, and he will likely be attacked by other forces after returning to Youzhou, so he has to be cautious.

In fact, most of the princes of all walks of life were not cowardly, but could not afford to lose.

For example, Gongsun Zan himself had friction with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu from time to time, and both sides did not like each other.

Liu Yu adopted a policy of co-opting and appeasing ethnic minorities outside the country, while Gongsun Chan believed that an iron-blooded policy should be adopted.

The two concepts put the two major forces in Youzhou in a state of opposition. Gongsun Zhan's crusade against Dong Zhuo would be good if it was successful, after all, he returned to Youzhou with great merit. If it is a fiasco, the soldiers under his command are all wiped out again, after returning to Youzhou, once Liu Yu takes advantage of the fire to rob, can Gongsun Chan stop Liu Yu? This is something that Gongsun Chan must think about clearly.

Cao Cao saw that Gongsun Zhan was silent, and he chuckled in his heart, and there was no drama in the secret way.

After being silent for a long time, Gongsun Zhan said: "Brother Meng De, Zhan obeys Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and everything obeys the orders of the alliance leader. ”

Gongsun Zhan couldn't refuse Cao Cao directly, so he could only push everything on Yuan Shao.

As soon as Cao Cao heard it, he understood what Gongsun Chan meant, as long as Yuan Shaoken let the princes' armies fight Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Chan would also be indifferent. But Yuan Shao did not take the initiative to attack, and Gongsun Zan would not lead the troops into battle. Thinking of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart, he just thought that Yuan Shao would not take the initiative to send troops, so he personally went to find Sun Jian, Wang Can, and Gongsun Zhan, now only Sun Jian is willing to fight with Dong Zhuo, Wang Can's attitude is not clear, and Gongsun Chan refuses again, which makes Cao Cao's heart panic.

The words have been made clear, and it will not help to say more.

Cao Cao stood up, bowed to Gongsun Zhan, and said, "Since Brother Bogui already has an idea, Cao Cao will not force Brother Bogui to take his leave." ”

Gongsun Zhan stood up and said, "Brother Meng De walks slowly. ”

Looking at Cao Cao's slightly lonely figure, Gongsun Zhan looked at the untouched wine and food on the table again, and felt a little uncomfortable. He has the heart to help Cao Cao, and he also wants to attack Dong Zhuo, but Gongsun Chan is not like Cao Cao, and the current Cao Cao is just a wanted criminal who has just escaped from Luoyang, except for recruiting soldiers under his command, there is nothing else to think about, but Gongsun Chan is different, Gongsun Chan is the Taishou of the shepherd side, and he has too many concerns to agree to Cao Cao's request.

Cao Cao walked out of the tent, looking lonely and tired.

With so many princes, only Sun Jian expressed his willingness to fight Dong Zhuo.

Pathetic!

When Cao Cao walked out of Gongsun Zhan's camp, Liu Bei also saw Cao Cao. Liu Bei wanted to have a relationship with Cao Cao, looked at Cao Cao's back eagerly, and looked forward to Cao Cao looking back, and then he walked up and accosted Cao Cao, and the two sides had a rough conversation. But Cao Cao was full of worries, lowered his head, and didn't glance in Liu Bei's direction at all, which disappointed Liu Bei.

"Oh, that's a pity!"

Liu Bei watched Cao Cao leave, and sighed in his heart.

With a heavy heart, Cao Cao walked out of the princes' camp aimlessly and walked towards the mountains and forests behind the camp. The mountain and forest soldiers at the rear of the camp have all checked to ensure that there are no spies planted by Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao walked alone in the mountains and forests, looked at the trees that had grown buds, and said to himself: The big trees have already grown buds, when will the big man grow new 'shoots'.

"Click!"

In the distance, a slight crunch sounded.

Cao Cao followed the prestige, but it was the sound of Xun Yu stepping on a dead branch.

Xun Yu smiled and walked slowly towards Cao Cao, and said loudly as he walked: "As long as you don't give up, stick to the end, and never give up." Dahan will be able to grow new 'shoots' one day, this process may be a little long, but it is not impossible, could it be that Brother Meng De was discouraged after being hit a little? ”

"Huh?"

Cao Cao exclaimed, with a thick puzzle on his face, and asked softly, "Wen Ruo, why did you appear in the mountains and forests when you were not in the original camp?" ”

Xun Yu said lightly: "Yuan Shao is indecisive, it is difficult to achieve great things, I have already left Yuan Shao." ”

After Cao Cao heard this, his heart was ecstatic and his eyes burned.

Opportunity!

Great opportunity!

Although he did not get the support of Wang Can and Gongsun Zhan, he didn't expect to run into Xun Yu who left Yuan Shao. At this moment, Cao Cao's heart became hot, he and Xun Yu also had a few conversations, and they admired Xun Yu's talent, but at that time, Xun Yu was working under Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao was not good at poaching people directly. Now that Xun Yu has left Yuan Shao, isn't it his chance for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately bowed deeply to Xun Yu and said, "it, please ask Wen Ruo to help." ”

Xun Yu smiled indifferently, and also bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "Don't dare to ask for ears, you can do what you want!" ”

Cao Cao picked up Xun Yu and said, "I have Wenruo, like a dry land with a rain!" ”

Xun Yu also showed a warm smile, he stayed in Yuan Shao's camp, and after getting along with Yuan Shao for a long time, he found that Yuan Shao was indecisive and could not achieve great things, and Yuan Shao was too ambitious, not the ideal candidate in Xun Yu's heart. After Xun Yu and Cao Cao met, they carefully observed Cao Cao for a period of time, and after a long time of thinking, they finally finalized the idea of taking refuge in Cao Cao.
