"Lord, it's not good, the people are gathering outside the government to make trouble!"

"Huh?!" Cao Cao was stunned: "Trouble? Why? ”

Cao Chun, who entered the room to report, was also stunned, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to smile bitterly: "It's still the lord who went in person, but I don't know how to answer!" ”

Cao Cao was curious for a while, although Cao Chun was not good at talking, but he talked a lot on weekdays, what made Cao Chun at a loss? Cao Cao led the generals with some doubts and walked outside the palace.

"Cao Gong, strike the army!"

"The court is good, why do you ministers have to fight around! How can we live? ”

Before Cao Cao arrived at the gate of the mansion, he heard many people outside the mansion talking chaotically. Cao Cao, who was puzzled, heard helplessness, begging, and anger in the shouts of miscellaneous discussions.

Wrath? Anger turned out to be? Why anger? While Cao Cao was puzzled, the fire of ignorance burned in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Lord!" Seeing Cao Cao come out, Cao Zhen stepped forward and clasped his fists at Cao Cao, his face was extremely unnatural. But the red eyes made people see the grief and indignation in Cao Zhen's heart. Cao Cao did not answer, from left to right, and then from right to left, looking around at the noisy people in front of the palace. When he saw the demeanor of the people, Cao Cao understood: Yes, grief and indignation! It should be sad and indignant!

There are not many people left in the city of Dengxian County, about 20,000 or 30,000, and there are 35,000 people gathered outside the government at this time. All of them were ragged, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes revealed fear, confusion, and the anger of Cao Cao from the people's condemnation before. Cao Cao originally thought that the anger of the people was the anger of Dong Zhuo, but at this time, it seemed that the anger of the people was directed against the righteous army he led. As Cao Cao saw, this was the case.

An old man who was slightly neatly dressed walked out of the crowd, pressed his hands, and motioned for the people to be quiet. The old man seemed to have a high prestige, and the people gradually calmed down. The old man turned around and said to Cao Gong: "The old man greets Cao Gong!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao returned the salute.

"Cao Gong cares about the imperial court, crusading against Dong Zhuo, and his ability is blessed by our people." The old man said in an orderly manner: "But today there are many disasters and the harvest is not good. We had to take our wives and children to struggle again and again. ”

"But Dong Zhuo is brutal, today Cao Gong captured Deng County, Dong Zhuo will definitely send troops to attack Cao Gong! We will experience war again, and it will be even more difficult for us to survive. Please also ask Cao Gong to have mercy on the people, immediately stop the army, and return our peace! ”

After the old man spoke, Cao Cao's face was calm, and he seemed unwavering: "Since you know that Dong Zhuo is brutal, you are willing to live under Dong Zhuo's rule again?" ”

"Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, at most he can only shoot food and girls, at least we can still live."

"If you can get rid of Dong Zhuo, how about waiting for the balance?" Cao Cao stared at the old man, but still said indifferently: "It's just that I don't know how many more people will die!" ”

"Please also ask Cao Gong to stop the army immediately and return our peace!" The old man did not answer, but knelt down with a kind of common people.

Cao Cao did not answer the old man, but asked loudly: "Are you a Han person?" ”

When the old man heard this, he raised his head in confusion and replied in surprise: "Yes!" ”

"Have you ever been taken care of by the imperial court?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever received the favor of Your Majesty?"

"Yes."

"In that case!" Cao Cao asked several questions one after another, and his tone became more and more angry and shouted: "Why is Dong Thief not subordinate now, and you are not willing to make a meager contribution to Your Majesty and the Han even if you survive?" ”

Cao Cao shouted, and the people looked a little ashamed and lowered their heads one after another.

"When Mrs. My family was humiliated by Haoqiang, where was the court?" A reckless man did not bow his head, stood up and yelled angrily at Cao Cao. There are two when there is one.

"When our family was suddenly invaded, where was the imperial court?"

Then there was a higher question, and the people who were originally a little ashamed rose up angrily and looked at Cao Cao angrily, making Cao Cao dumb for a while.

"If you can't wait, why don't you resist?" Cao Cao asked the people with a little lack of confidence.

Suddenly, the people fell silent, and only the sad voice of the leading old man remained: "Resistance? Why didn't you resist? I originally thought that the Yellow Turban Righteous Army would change our status quo, I originally thought that General He Jin would change our status quo after getting rid of the eunuchs, and I originally thought that Dong Zhuo Taishi would change our status quo, but it was all in vain. Now, we just want to live, take our wives and children, and live well! ”

After saying that, the old man bowed deeply to Cao Cao again and pleaded: "Please have mercy on Cao Gong, stop the army!" ”

For some reason, Cao Cao's legs suddenly weakened and fell backwards, and Cao Hong, who was behind him, hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Cao up, worried. At this time, Cao Cao's eyes were blank, his mind was chaotic and roaring, and his thoughts were chaotic.

"Cao Gong is benevolent and righteous, we don't want to be disobedient! But..."The old man didn't seem to care about Cao Cao's current situation, nor did he live up to Fang Cai's pleading, and said with fierce eyes: "If the Taishi army attacks, we can't avoid it. But now that Cao Gong only has more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, we may still have a glimmer of life, I wonder if Cao Gong has the confidence to kill more than 10,000 of our unarmed people? ”

Cao Cao looked at the thousands of people on the school field outside the government in shock, and the eyes of the people revealed a bloodthirsty color like wolf eyes, which made Cao Cao a little afraid.

"My lord, if you don't save such a people, don't save them. If we really persecute the people to rebel, I am afraid that we will not escape today! Xiahou Yuan, who was supporting Cao Cao on the other side, looked worried and suggested to Cao Cao.

"Miaocai, in this case, what's the point of us sending troops to fight Dong at this time?" Cao Cao's eyes were hollow.

Xiahou Yuan sighed, looked at his father-in-law with a painful heart, and said fiercely: "Why is it meaningless? We sent troops, even if we didn't ask Dong for nothing, it also made the lord earn enough fame! Since the family is unkind, the court is broken, and the people are ignorant, why do we still fight for the court and the people? Although we are not as good as the family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, we also have a little background in the family, and when the lord returns to Chenliu, recruit soldiers and horses, follow the example of the rest of the princes to stand on their own, and change the way of the world that has collapsed now! ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, he looked at Xiahou Yuan, and then looked around at the generals around him. Looking at the firm eyes of the generals around him who had followed him for many years without complaint, Cao Cao knew that what Xiahou Yuan proposed was accepted by everyone. Cao Cao struggled in his heart, and after more than 30 years of persistence, he had to look like he is now. The nostalgia for the Han that still existed in his heart made Cao Cao unbearable.

"My lord, what Miaocai said is very true! However, the lord is self-reliant, not anti-Han, but another way

, revive the big man! Xiahoudun seemed to see some doubts in Cao Cao's heart, and spoke to persuade him.

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he broke free from everyone's support, and looked at Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and others with bright eyes, and the strobeling light in his eyes made everyone understand that Cao Cao had made a decision.

"Hahaha..."Cao Cao suddenly turned in a circle and laughed, there was bitterness, suffering, relief, and faith.

After laughing for a while, Cao Cao stabilized his mind, turned around and said aloud to the people: "In this case, Ben will stop the army tomorrow, put aside the matter of fighting Dong for the time being, and restore the peace you want!" After that, Cao Cao didn't pay any attention to anything, walked towards the palace alone, and said by the way: "Miaocai, Zilian, straighten out the soldiers and horses, and retire tomorrow!" ”

"No!" The generals are excited, and their own lords can communicate, then they will be able to follow Cao Cao to conquer the world in the future, and fight against the world's heroes, who wins and who loses, it all depends on the will of God.

At this time, Cao Cao locked himself in the study of the government office, staring at the not very detailed map of the Han Dynasty in the study, and gently stroked Luoyang and Chang'an on the map, with a look full of favor. Then the five fingers of his right hand swept over Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou, and stopped in the area of Bingzhou and Youzhou after a circle. The big man is not the big man of the Liu family. Now that the Han is decayed and difficult to redeem, there is Cao Cao to revive the Han Xiong Wei.

Yuan Shao? Yuan Shu? Han Fu... Cao Cao's eyes swept over all places, and his heart kept reading the names of the princes from all over the country, and finally his eyes fell on the area of Bingzhou, Cao Cao smiled lightly, and thought confidently: There is also Fengyuan, who will kill the deer, we all rely on our ability!

Cao Cao, who made the decision, did not procrastinate, and immediately wrote to Xiang Ao and Sun Jian, explaining the reason. The next day, after putting in order the few remaining soldiers and horses, Cao Cao left Deng County, followed the Yellow River, swept through the lifeless Luoyang, and rushed back to Yanzhou Chenliu.

The princes and hermits from all walks of life all paid attention to the situation of the remaining troops of the three towns coalition army, and the news that Xiang Ao was forced to retreat in order to save the Yulin army and Cao Cao returned to Chenliu with heavy losses soon spread all over the world. Some people disdain, some deplore, and some dignified. Even if I don't know the situation of Sun Jianbu in the last town at this time, but heroes like Xiang Ao and Cao Cao have been defeated, even if Sun Jian is brave, what can he do?

When the troops were first divided, Sun Jian proposed to search Luoyang, originally just out of goodwill to see if he could save some people. Coincidentally, Sun Jian discovered an object that can subvert today. Sun Jian, who was frightened, suspicious, and excited, didn't know what to do, which caused Sun Jian's soldiers and horses to be much slower than Xiang Ao and Cao Cao's army.

After Xiang Ao was forced to retreat and Cao Cao left with heavy losses, Sun Jian rushed to Shangluo and began the battle for Shangluo City with Huaxiong.

Sun Jian's lone army fought with Huaxiong in Shangluo for three days and three nights without results, plus Lu Bu and Xu Rong's soldiers and horses who returned to help after repelling Xiang Ao and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, no matter how brave Sun Jian was and how grand the soldiers and horses were, they had to avoid their edge.

In desperation, Sun Jian had no choice but to retreat and wait and see the situation for the time being. Jia Xu seized the opportunity at this time to implement the strategy he had previously dedicated to Dong Zhuo. In an instant, the Han Dynasty in October, dozens of orders, and edicts of appointment flew all over the sky. Regardless of whether the princes from all over the country participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, or the powerful and powerful, they all received the edict of promotion from the imperial court.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang had just experienced the great battles in Tiger Prison, Luoyang and other places, people in the world would even have the illusion that the Han did not know how many rebels or foreigners they had repelled, and they would have rewarded them after carrying forward the great Han Xiong Wei.
