Let everyone leave, Liu Bei left Xi Zhicai alone, and asked: "If Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway really raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, who should I help?" Is it to help Yuan, or to help Dong? Or simply be outside-neutral. ”

The reason why I asked in private was because I was afraid of asking in public, and someone came to say, "Now that the army is for the country, what is it called to help Yuan or Dong." In that case, Liu Bei would be embarrassed, and he would suddenly become someone else's background board. So Liu Bei left Xi Zhi to ask questions alone.

Xi Zhicai said: "What does the lord think? ”

Liu Bei said: "What if I help the Yuan family?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Although Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven and controlled the imperial court, the imperial court is the imperial court after all. No matter how high Yuan Benchu's prestige is, if there is no suitable reason, I am afraid that few people will dare to follow Yuan Benchu to attack the capital Luoyang. ”

How could it be, it wasn't the princes of the Eighteenth Road who begged Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei glanced at Xi Zhicai and said, "So it's time to help Dong, no, it's to help the imperial court." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Dong Zhuo is the prime minister of the country, and he takes the prince as the servant to keep the order, and Yuan Taifu must be dissatisfied, Runan Yuan's family, Shu'en IV, and people in the sea are hopeful." Although Dong Zhuo kept winning over the gate valve of the Kanto family and rewarded him excessively, the gate valve of Kanto regarded himself very highly, and he was afraid that it might not be used by Dong Zhuo. If you help Dong Zhuo, you are only afraid that your reputation will be unfavorable. ”

Liu Bei said: "In this way, it's time for the two not to help each other." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "If the two don't help each other, I'm afraid that no matter who wins Dong Zhuo or Yuan, I'm afraid that they will be hostile to the lord." ”

Liu Bei was silent, the grass on the wall is not good. He asked, "What should I do?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The soldiers are in danger, don't be careful, the lord will watch other states act, and then make a decision, it's not too late." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and said in his heart that this is still a wall grass, but it is a more clever wall grass.

I remember playing the Legend of the Three Kingdoms before, and the crusade against Dong Zhuo began in January 190 AD, in other words, the beginning of next year, and now it's almost December, so let's wait and see.

So he said: "Since this is the case, let's look at Yuan Benchu." ”

What is Yuan Shao doing, since Dong Zhuo pardoned Yuan Shao and made him the Taishou of Bohai, Yuan Shao has a place to raise troops. But Jizhou Mu Han Fu was afraid of Yuan Shao, and he was afraid that the real power of Jizhou would be taken away by Yuan Shao.

When Dong Zhuo pursued Yuan Shao, Han Fu did not betray Yuan Shao for the sake of his own reputation because he was a former official of the Yuan family, but after Yuan Shao took office in Bohai County, Han Fu sent several confidants to spy on him in Bohai and prevent Yuan Shao from successfully recruiting troops to prepare for war. Therefore, Yuan Shao was unable to act for a while.

In addition to Yuan Shao, there are also Zhang Yang, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao, Cao Cao, Wei Zi and others in the local area who are organizing anti-Dong. Because these people are all in the Kanto region, they are also called the Kwantung princes.

Among these people, Zhang Yang rebelled directly, if it weren't for the later princes to ask Dong, I was afraid that Zhang Yang would only be a bandit.

Bao Xin left relatively early and recruited 20,000 troops in Mount Tai.

Qiao Mao was originally the Taishou of Dongjun, the lord of one side.

And Cao Cao's deeds are the most legendary, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, abolished the Son of Heaven, and then wantonly sealed the official, Cao Cao abandoned the official and fled.

When Cao Cao fled, he only brought a few cronies with him, and he didn't have time to inform his wife Bian and his domestic servants who were still in the capital.

When Cao Cao was on the run, he went to Chenggao County. Lu Bohao of Chenggao County was an old friend with an old friend, so Cao Cao went to seek refuge with Lu Bohao.

Lu Boyu was not at home, he had five sons at home, and he received Cao Cao and his party. Cao Cao was more suspicious, at this time on the way to escape, like a frightened bird, in the middle of the night, Cao Cao heard a noise outside the house, thinking that the Lu family was going to kidnap him to report to the official, so he woke up his entourage, decided to strike first, and killed Lu Bohao's five sons and three doormen, a total of eight people.

Then he said miserably and sadly: "I'd rather bear others than let others bear me!" ”。

To put it bluntly, Cao Cao also guessed that Lu Bohao's son wanted to kill him, and without evidence, he cut down these eight people.

After Cao Cao killed Lu Bohao's family, he didn't dare to stay, hurried away, and met two mighty people on the road, Cao Cao took the initiative to avoid the roadside.

The two of them smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Guanjun has the color of fear, why not? "I see that Your Excellency is afraid of running for your life, why is that?

Cao Cao felt that these two people were not ordinary, so he told the truth.

Before parting, Cao Cao untied the saber and gave it to the other party, saying: "To show my sincerity, please don't mention my affairs again."

Cao Cao first returned to his hometown of Qian County, and proposed to his father Cao Song to recruit troops against Dong, Cao Song opposed, but Cao Cao insisted on crusading against Dong Zhuo, and went to seek help from several other brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong. Cao Song felt that Cao Cao would bring disaster to the whole family, because Cao Song and King Langya were friends, so he took his three sons and more than 100 carts of property to take refuge in the evil king of Langya in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao's younger brother Cao Ren, the word filial piety, likes to hunt with bows and horses since he was a child. Privately, combined with the young party, he got more than 1,000 people, and circled between Huai and Si. After Cao Cao returned home, Zhu Cao and Xiahou successively gathered under Cao Cao's banner with their family soldiers and henchmen.

The Cao family's property was taken away by Cao Song, and Cao Cao needed money to raise troops, and sometimes he inevitably used some illegal means.

So the counties of Yuzhou ordered a crusade against Cao Cao, and the soldiers recruited by Cao Cao also rebelled against Cao Cao. Cao Cao was wounded and fled, and fled to the head of Pinghe Pavilion, not daring to reveal his identity. claimed to be Jinan Cao Shishi, Cao Cao was the minister of Jinan, so he claimed to be from Jinan.

After the pavilion chief's family nursed his injuries for eight or nine days, Cao Cao's injuries improved somewhat, and he said to the pavilion chief: "Although Cao Jinan is defeated, his survival is unknown. If you can send me back in an ox cart for a maximum of four or five days, I will repay you generously. ”

The pavilion chief is to send Cao Cao in an ox cart, has not yet arrived in Qian County, dozens of miles, many people ride horses to find Cao Cao, Cao Cao opened the curtain, all happy, the pavilion chief only knew that this person was Cao Cao.

In the eight or nine days that Cao Cao was recuperating from his injuries, everyone didn't know Cao Cao's life or death, and there were even rumors that Cao Cao was dead. When the servants heard the news, they immediately rolled up and prepared to disperse.

At this time, Bian's family was in danger, showing her extraordinary determination, and persuaded everyone: "Based on Yuan Shu's words alone, Cao Jun's fierce luck is not yet known, you all go home today, if Cao Jun is still alive tomorrow, what face do you have to see Cao Jun again?" Even if something really happens, why not die together. ”

So it makes sense that Cao Cao Libian became a genuine lady later, not just Cao's Suxi "cheap person".

Cao Cao did not dare to stay in Yuzhou and ran to Chenliu County. Chen Liujun Taishou Zhang Miao was a celebrity during the party period, and the "eight kitchens" kitchen is not a chef, but a person who can save people with money. In the early years, Zhang Miao corresponded with Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao became friends with Yuan Shao, so Zhang Miao and Cao Cao raised troops against Dong together.

Weizi, a famous scholar in Xiangyi County, is the filial piety of the chariot general He Miao, Weizi did not take office, but he is still He Miao's former official. He often expressed his dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo to people, saying: "He Cheqi is no longer wrong, and he is already dead." If a person's death is great, why dig up the body of He Cheqi's horse and waste it? ”

When Cao Cao heard about it, he came to Weizi. Cao Cao has always had a friendship with He Miao, so although the two met for the first time, they hit it off and discussed the anti-Dong plan.

Cao Cao recruited troops and horses in Xiangyi County, accumulated grass and grain, and personally worked with craftsmen to build a humble hand knife, and Sun Song, a famous man in Beihai, saw this scene, so he mocked Cao Cao and said: "To do things should be done great things, how can you make knives with craftsmen?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "You can do small things to do big things, what's the harm in this." ”

In December, Cao Cao raised troops in Jiwu County, which was adjacent to Xiangyi County.
