Now Dong Zhuo has looted Luoyang's money and gathered in Chang'an, and has relocated millions of people around Luoyang. If Dong Zhuo is attacked at this time, first, he is worried that Dong Zhuo's dog will jump over the wall in a hurry and slaughter the people; The second is that Dong Zhuo's command is all elite at this time, and he is afraid that the coalition army will be defeated! Yuan Shao said angrily and worriedly: "In the opinion of the leader of this alliance, at this time, he should return to his respective territories, recruit more soldiers and horses, and give Dong Zhuo a thunderous blow!" ”

Zhang Miao on the side glanced at Yuan Shao, and his expression changed.

"Han Fuzhou sent a letter saying that Jizhou has not yet harvested in autumn, and there is a shortage of grain and grass, so I am afraid that we will not be able to provide us with sufficient baggage. Besides, Luoyang was destroyed, the family was slaughtered, millions of people were forced to migrate, and now it is difficult for Henan and Hongnong to supply us with sufficient grain and grass, how to attack Dong Zhuo? Yuan Shao didn't wait for everyone to question, and brought up the current situation of the coalition army.

"Huh!" Xiang Ao chuckled coldly: "In this way, we can only strike the army and let Dong Zhuo do whatever he wants?" ”

Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face darkened, and he said with a little anger: "Could it be that Zhenguo Gong has a better plan?" ”

"We are deeply favored by the first emperor Hongen, and now that Your Majesty is young and bullied by Dong Zhuo, how can we wait and see like this?" Xiang Ao raised his hands above his head, clenched his fists towards the void, asked loudly, and shouted: "Errunan Yuan has the name of the fourth world and the third prince, and the example of the world's corporals, so what is the intention of retreating?" ”

"Humph!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "Attacking Dong Zhuo at this time, if Dong Zhuo is ruthless, what kind of ill intentions should he have towards His Majesty?" My Runan Yuan clan is dedicated to the Han, whether it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept the world, or the eunuch relatives who have deceived the royal family for several generations, when did I Yuan Shao not do his best? ”

Yuan Shao seemed to be extremely angry at Xiang Ao's questioning, and also shouted: "It's Er Xiang Ao's husband, who did not obey the edict of the first emperor before his death, and led the troops into the Central Plains. ”

"Yuan Shaopifu!"

"How?"

Seeing Yuan Shao like this, Xiang Ao was furious, and pulled out the sword at his waist, as if he was ready to kill Yuan Shao in the military tent. Cao Cao was shocked, strode out, grabbed the angry Xiang Ao, and persuaded: "Xiang Gong, don't be reckless!" ”

"Let go, Mende!" The angry Xiang Ao ignored Cao Cao, and his arm exerted force, shaking Cao Cao away. Seeing this, Zhao Yun was also frightened, and hurriedly glanced at Dian Wei, both stepped forward to hug Xiang Ao and shouted: "Think twice, lord!" ”

Xiang Ao, who was in a hurry, failed to break free from the shackles of Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, and stopped after struggling a few times. But Yuan Shao in front of Xiang Ao was pale, and his kneeling strands even trembled slightly. If it weren't for the strict requirements for himself on weekdays, I'm afraid Yuan Shao would have retreated backwards. The tense atmosphere between the two came too suddenly, and it scared the princes a lot.

Tao Qian hurriedly stepped forward to appease Xiang Ao and said, "General Fengyuan is angry!" What the leader of the alliance said is also the truth, our more than 100,000 soldiers, horses, and grain and grass have been reduced by more than half for more than half a month, and the soldiers have long been dissatisfied. ”

Xiang Ao gasped violently, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and stuck his sword beside him. After all, Kong Rong is today's great Confucian, and after Confucius, these few thin noodles still have to be given. Moreover, Xiang Ao's wedding was presided over by Kong Rong, Xiang Ao said softly to Kong Rong: "Let Wen Ju see and laugh, the big man is so dangerous, this guy still shirks, Ao..."

"It's okay!" Kong Rong saw Xiang Ao giving himself face like this, and smiled more kindly: "General Fengyuan cares about His Majesty, and he is worried that the court is known to the world. General Fengyuan and Yuan Mengzhu were just stunned by Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang. ”

After saying that, Kong Rong turned to Yuan Shao and also persuaded him: "The alliance leader is also dissipated, we will kill Dong Zhuo in total, don't hurt the harmony because of Dong Zhuo!" ”

Yuan Shao stabilized his mind, slowly stood up and said: "What Wen Jugong said is extremely true, Shao was also confused by Dong Zhuo's anger. ”

Under the persuasion of everyone, Xiang Ao and Yuan Shao sat down again to discuss the matter of Dong. However, the thoughts of the princes of the coalition gradually became clear, and although Yuan Shao was tactful, he expressed that he did not want to send troops at this time, and still insisted on his previous remarks.

Sun Jian, who had no result of persuasion, was even more tempered than Xiang Ao, and threw the wine cup in his hand towards the middle of the military tent, shouting angrily: "Don't do anything!" ”

After saying that, he hugged his fists towards Xiang Ao and the others, and left indignantly. Sun Jian's sudden departure made everyone stunned for a while, and they couldn't react.

"Humph! Yuan Shao, don't lose all of my Yuan's façade! Yuan Shu, who had always been extremely low-key, snorted coldly, stood up with a calm face, and followed Sun Jian's footsteps to leave the military tent.

Zhang Yang, who had advocated an immediate crusade against Dong Zhuo, came out with a ashamed face, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yang agrees with the alliance leader's countermeasures, and does not dare to delay, today Yang will rush back to the party, recruit soldiers and horses, and then fight against Dong Zhuo with you!" ”

"No need!" When everyone looked at Zhang Yang with disdain, Xiang Ao said indifferently: "The party is under the jurisdiction of the pastor of the state, and the pastor of the state has the power to canonize the officials of the counties and counties. ”

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then his facial features changed dramatically, and he looked at Xiang Ao angrily and shouted, "What a Xiang Pifu." Ben Taishou responded to the payment of the document and came to King Qin, but you actually moved my rear? ”

Xiang Ao snorted coldly, ignored the Zhang Yang who was about to go crazy, and indifferently played with the saber in his hand. What Xiang Ao said is the truth, Xiang Ao was blocked by Baibo and Montenegro before, and he could not issue a decree to the party, and he could show off his military might. In addition, no one in the audience interceded for Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang was like eating, with a red face and an expression of wanting to eat Xiang Ao.

Helplessly, Zhang Yang raised the long sword in his hand and cut off the few in front of him, leading Xue Hong and Miao Shang under his command to leave angrily.

Xiang Ao spoke, but the messengers of Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao and Han Fu in public were shocked. How did they never think that Xiang Ao actually managed to recover the Shangdang at this time, although there were already Black Mountain and Baibo in the middle, but with the elite soldiers and horses in the northern region, who could get involved in the Shangdang at this time? After Dong Zhuo's cholera division, Hanoi County was like a fictitious at this time, if Xiang Ao was ambitious, Chen Liu, who was adjacent to Hanoi...

Thinking like this, Zhang Miao was extremely frightened, and stood up with an unnatural face and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this crusade against Dong Zhuo, my Chen Liu's soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, and Chen Liu's still has a lot of bandits. Miao left for the time being, and after recruiting enough soldiers and horses, he would go to join the coalition forces and crusade against Dong Zhuo. ”

"Miao left some soldiers and horses to hand over to Meng De, and Meng De will cooperate with you to suppress Dong Zhuo for me!" Zhang Miao waved at Cao Operation, made a look, and left in a hurry without waiting for everyone to respond. Cao Cao saw Zhang Miao's expression and smiled bitterly: his best friend was so snobbish.

The messenger sent by Han Fu here was even more anxious and scared than Chen Liuzhang Miao, and made a gesture to the princes one by one, saying that they needed to return to Jizhou to report the military situation to Han Fu, and try to prepare some grain and grass for the princes present, and left in a hurry. Kong Rong and Tao Qian, the two great Confucians, looked at the mutated military camp in astonishment, how could the coalition forces suddenly disperse?

Especially Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, who is a member of the royal family, was full of anger, and he didn't want the princes from all over the country to seek loyalty in the past, but he left perfunctorily when his own interests might be damaged.

"In this case, the leader of this alliance will immediately rush back to Bohai to recruit troops, and try his best to crusade against Dong Zhuo again at the beginning of next year, I hope everyone here can respond!" Yuan Shao's face was as usual, and he even glanced at Xiang Ao a little proudly, and left the military tent.

Kong Rong looked at Yuan Shao's departing back, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he sighed deeply: "Hey... Misfortune for the big man! After that, Kong Rong came to Xiang Ao again and said: "Rong is a scholar, and it is useless to fight in battle. Since you are like this, Rong Ye had to return to Beihai first and continue to recruit soldiers and horses. As for the remaining 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers under his command, they were handed over to the Duke of Zhenguo to continue the crusade against Dong Zhuo. ”

"How does this work!" Xiang Ao hurriedly got up and said: "Beihai is the hinterland of Qingzhou, there are many yellow scarves, Wen Jugong will hand over such an elite to Ao, what will Beihai be?" ”

"General Fengyuan doesn't have to worry." Kong Rong smiled kindly, as if he was treating his juniors, and gently patted Xiang Ao on the shoulder and said: "I have a fierce general, good at training, but I can recruit elites in a few months, and it is enough to crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turban." ”

The sincerity and a little doting in Kong Rong's eyes made it difficult for Xiang Ao to refuse, so he said to Kong Rongzuo: "Ao has the trust of Wenju and is blessed with three lives." Wen Jugong was relieved, and Ao Ding did his best to save His Majesty from fire and water. ”

Kong Rong nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Tao Qian. Tao Qian understood, came to the playground and said: "General Meng De's leading troops can only be comparable to General Fengyuan, I am like Wen Jugong, a weak scholar." Today, I also handed over more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under my command to Mengde. ”

Cao Cao was stunned, thinking that Tao Qian, like Kong Rong, would hand over his soldiers and horses to Xiang Ao, and didn't want to hand them over to himself. Cao Cao hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Tao Qian: "You have to be trusted by Gongzu Gong, and I feel guilty." ”

"However, Cao is curious, why do Gong Zugong and Wen Jugong only trust Cao and Fengyuan?" Cao Cao looked at Tao Qian and Kong Rong suspiciously.

When Tao Qian heard this, he turned his head to Kong Rong and chuckled: "In the eyes of the two of us, people in the world can be called heroes, only Fengyuan and Meng Deye!" ”

When Xiang Ao and Cao Cao heard this, their faces were happy and ashamed. Who is not happy to be praised by today's great Confucians? But the crusade against Dong Zhuo was fruitless, making Xiang Ao and Cao Cao shameless in the face of today's Confucianism.

Tao Qian and Kong Rong saw the faces of Cao Cao and Xiang Ao, laughed, and left together.

"Meng De, the two of us are looking for General Wentai?"

"That's nature!" Seeing Xiang Ao's slightly mysterious expression, Cao Cao naturally knew Xiang Ao's thoughts. Sun Jian is a hero, the two of them know each other. Sun Jian seemed to be resentful and left, and at this time, he was probably preparing to send troops to pursue Dong Zhuo.

Even if Tao Qian and Kong Rong donated soldiers, Xiang Ao's three soldiers and horses were only forty or fifty thousand. If Dong Zhuo moves the capital westward, leaves the people alone, and guards the land of Jingzhao Sanfu, the three of them really have no choice. But Dong Zhuo has coerced millions of people, even if three or five days have passed, I am afraid that it will only be enough to march through the Hongnong area, and it will be too late to kill Dong Zhuo by surprise.
