The so-called clan is the great-grandson of his grandfather's own brother, which means that Qiao Xuan is Qiao Mao's uncle and grandfather. Well...... A kinship that is hard to describe. But isn't that the case? No matter how out-of-the-way the relationship is, or even relatives you may have never heard of, when you become famous, there will always be such people.

However, Qiao Mao is still good, because in addition to being a little arrogant, after he became the county guard of Dongjun, he rarely acted in the name of Qiao Xuan. As for Li Yi? Although he didn't take the initiative to mention it, most people would still consider Li Yi's problem, even after Qiao Xuan's death.

After all, Li Yi's filial piety is well known to passers-by, and God knows if Li Yi will come to trouble because he offended Qiao Mao.

However, the reason why Liu Dai dared to kill Qiao Mao was not because he was not afraid of Li Yi or didn't care about Qiao Xuan, who had passed away, but simply because he was impulsive because he couldn't get angry with Qiao Mao. But impulsiveness, naturally there will be a price for impulsiveness, who knows if Li Yi will help Qiao Mao avenge in the future? But at least, the current Liu Dai doesn't have time to pay attention to this possibility. Because he was constantly arguing with everyone about the ownership of the troops left behind after the death of Qiao Mao, and the issue of the vacant Dongjun County Guard.

Although he had appointed Wang Qiu to succeed him as the county guard of Dongjun, he also quickly incorporated Qiaomao's troops. But obviously, how could Yuan Yi and the others let Liu Dai strengthen his own power so easily? And Liu Dai naturally can't spit out what he eats in his stomach, although he killed Qiao Mao only because of an impulse that he can't get angry, but he has done everything, he has to get something, right?

Cao Cao didn't get involved, but after watching their quarrel for a while, he silently led people out. Seeing this, Zhang Miao on the side hurriedly followed, "Meng De." He shouted softly, only then fell silent, for he did not know what to say at this moment.

"Meng Zhuo, the coalition is over...... It's completely over......" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed when he heard Zhang Miao's voice. The tone was full of helplessness and sadness. Helpless, it is a sigh that he is powerless in the face of this kind of thing, and sad, because he can no longer see the future of the Han court.

"Mengde, don't give up! Although Qiao Mao is dead, as long as we try our best to persuade us, we can still maintain the coalition forces. And there is also Ben Chu, Ben Chu is a disciple of the Yuan family, didn't Yuan Yi and others join the coalition because of him? Hearing this, Zhang Miao hurriedly persuaded.

"It's different, it's not the same." Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Qiao Mao's death not only made it impossible for the coalition forces to continue to work together, but also gave them the best reason to strike the war. Once doubts arise, they are difficult to dispel. ”

"That'...... Now what? Zhang Miao asked after being silent for a moment.

"I don't know......" Cao Cao shook his head and said. After a long while, he suddenly murmured, "Actually, as long as Zikang can quickly capture Hedong, or if he can capture Yewang and continue to advance westward, then Dong Zhuo has no other way than to abandon the revolving gate pass." ”

"Not bad...... However, Li Junhou was still mobilizing food, and the Hu people on the Bingzhou side of the riot had not been completely quelled. In addition, I heard that Dong Min also mobilized an army from Zuo Fengyi and was rushing to Pi's support. Zhang Miao echoed when he heard this, and then said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "At the beginning, there were 120,000 troops, and there were only more than 40,000 people in Yewang City......

"Alas, don't say it. Every man has his own thoughts. Cao Cao shook his head and sighed. He knew Yuan Shao's thoughts, but he couldn't say, did he want to tell Zhang Miao that the reason why Yuan Shao did not move was to fight for power with Li Yi and Yuan Shu after defeating Dong Zhuo? Moreover, Cao Cao believed that whether it was Li Yi's infighting against the Yuan brothers, or Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's Yuan infighting, as long as Dong Zhuo was defeated, this war would definitely break out.

"Perhaps, even if you defeat Dong Zhuo, you won't be able to restore peace in the world?" Cao Cao suddenly had doubts about the existence of the coalition forces. In the past, he felt that as long as Dong Zhuo was defeated, then the imperial court would naturally be re-pacified with their assistance, and when the imperial court was pacified, the world would naturally be pacified.

But now it seems that ......

Back in the tent, Xiahoudun and the others were already waiting in the tent, "Lord! They shouted, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Qiao Mao is dead, he was killed by Liu Dai, and at this time he is arguing with the princes about the troops left by Qiao Mao, as well as the candidates for the Dongjun County Guard~" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth curved slightly, and he sneered sarcastically.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, especially Xiahoudun, "In this way, wouldn't the coalition forces be ......" He looked at Cao Cao in a panic, obviously having guessed the possible consequences of this matter. However, he didn't say it, as if he was worried about Zhang Miao behind Cao Cao.

"Haha~ It's worthy of Yuan Rang~" Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and when he heard this, Cao Ren and the others looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Xiahoudun, as if they didn't quite understand what dumb riddles the two were playing.

Seeing this, Cao Cao shook his head a little helplessly, because he found that although his subordinates were undoubtedly loyal, they seemed to be very lacking in some aspects. It seems that now, although Cao Cao has raised more than 30,000 people, among his subordinates, only Xiahoudun and the Qian family support Cao Cao, and even follow Wei Zi, the head of the Wei family, who can handle all kinds of internal government affairs.

"Okay, let's not mention this matter, since they don't care, why should we worry?!" Cao Cao waved his hand and laughed.

"Meng De......" Hearing Cao Cao's words, how did Xiahoudun and others, who were familiar with his temper, not know Cao Cao's thoughts at this time, but they didn't know how to persuade at all.

The next day, Zhang Miao came to visit Cao Cao again, but he came to tell Cao Cao the outcome of the Qiaomao incident. "Then Liu Dai has completely annexed Qiao Mao's troops, and at the same time, it is also recommended that Wang Qiu become the county guard of Dongjun. And the reason why Yuan Yi and the others agreed was because Liu Dai agreed to give them a part of the materials and military supplies from Qiaomao. ”

"Hehe, if only they could have such a positive attitude when they crusaded against Dong Zhuo." Cao Cao sneered when he heard this.

"Mengde, what do we do now? Now the coalition forces are demoralized because of this incident, and the various departments are also suspicious of each other, especially those who are already at odds, and they are even more wary of others. Zhang Miao asked worriedly.

"Alas...... If only I knew. Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, but at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Miao and said, "Meng Zhuo, I have an idea, but ......"
