That night, after walking a few more miles, he knocked on the door of an inn in the moonlight and went in to stay overnight. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the two fed the horses, and Cao Cao slept first. Chen Gong pondered: "I thought Cao Cao was a good person, but he abandoned the official and followed him, and it turned out to be a wolf-hearted man!" If you stay today, you will have trouble. He drew his sword and wanted to kill Cao Cao, but then he thought: "I came here with him for the country, and it is unjust to kill him, so I might as well abandon him and go to him." "Insert the sword and get on the horse, don't wait for the dawn, and go to Dongjun by yourself.

Cao Cao woke up, didn't see Chen Gong, and thought to himself: "When this person saw me say these two words, he suspected me of being unkind and abandoned me, I should leave quickly, not for a long time." I hurried to Chenliu overnight, found my father Cao Song, talked about the past, and wanted to disperse all the family assets and recruit volunteers. Cao Song said: "I'm afraid it won't work out if there is less money." There is a filial piety here named Wei Hong. This person is righteous and squanders money, and his family is very rich. If you have his help, you will be able to accomplish great things. ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he invited Wei Hong to his home, and the two drank while talking about major events in the world, and Cao Cao told Wei Hong about his ambitions. Wei Hong was originally a person who fought for righteousness and squandered money, and after listening to Cao Cao's loyalty, he was very moved and generously promised his full support.

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and with the help of Wei Hong, he soon set up a banner of righteousness, and the word "loyalty" was written on the flag. Sent people to distribute to the states and counties a message denouncing Dong Table.

Soon, there were Pingyang patriots, surnamed Le, named Jin, and Qianqian. A native of Shanyang, surnamed Li, a dictionary, and a character Mancheng, came to vote for Cao Cao. Cao Cao was accepted as a small official in front of the account.

There is also Pei Guo's Xiahou Xuan, the character Yuan let, after the Xiahou infant in the early Han Dynasty. Since childhood, he learned guns and sticks, and learned martial arts from his teacher at the age of 14. Knowing that Cao Cao raised troops, he and his brother Xiahou Yuan were talented, and each brought thousands of strong men to vote. These two men were originally Cao Cao's brothers. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was originally the son of the Xiahou family, and he lived with the Cao family, so he was of the same clan.

A few days later, the Cao brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong also brought more than 1,000 troops to help. Cao Ren's character is filial piety, and Cao Hong's character is cheap: the two are skilled in bows and horses, and proficient in martial arts. However, in a few months, there were soon nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. In this way, although Wei Hong helped, after a long time, the military supplies gradually became insufficient.

Faced with this dilemma, Cao Cao sought the help of wealthy families near Chenliu on the one hand, and pretended to be a robber to rob the unfunded Haoqiang.

As a result, Chen Liu's rich and powerful people were in danger, and some land hooligans also took the opportunity to rise.

All of a sudden, the entire Chen Liuwen was in a loud voice, and they asked Cao Cao to crack down on the thieves. Cao Cao generously agreed, indignantly reprimanding the robbers who had appeared recently, and at the same time lamenting that there was not enough food and grass in the army to help the villagers, while continuing to rob. Until most of Chen Liu's powerful and powerful clans came to ask Cao Cao to fight the robbers, he promised to send military rations on time in the future. It was only then that Cao Cao nodded in agreement to send troops, secretly ambushed, grabbed some of the land where the crime was being committed on the spot, hyped it up, and then beheaded him. In this way, the prestige is gradually established.

Some wealthy families saw the mystery and were worried about Cao Cao's viciousness, so they didn't dare to say anything, so they had to keep their finances safe. With the support of these wealthy people, Cao Cao's military was slowly able to be maintained.

Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao received the letter sent by Cao Cao, his heart moved, and he received a secret letter from the three princes, saying: "Dong Table monopolizes the government, filths the palace, is cruel and vicious, and kills innocents indiscriminately. Cao Mengde was secretly ordered by the emperor to kill Dong, although he was unsuccessful, his feat was commendable. Call on all states and counties to raise volunteers, fight against Dong thieves, support the royal family, and save the people. When the text arrives, it is incumbent on us to raise troops quickly. ”

After receiving Qiaomao's message, all prefectures and counties responded one after another, and sent troops to Hanoi and Suojube to assemble: the first road, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao; The second road: Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian; The third road: Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang; Fourth Road: Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai; Fifth Road: Yuzhou Rashi Kongyou; Sixth Road: Jizhou Mu Hanfu; Seventh Road: Later General Yuan Shu; Eighth Road: Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao; Ninth Road: Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao. The tenth town, Shanyang Taishou Yuan's legacy; The eleventh town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin; The twelfth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong; The thirteenth town, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao; The fourteenth town, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, the party is too guarded by Zhang Yang. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha Taishou Sun Jian; plus Cao Cao's people and horses, a total of 17 roads.

There are more than a dozen military horses, and the number of troops varies from 20,000 to 30,000 to thousands. The envoys of the leaders and captains came to Luoyang, and the battle line stretched for thousands of miles, and the momentum was greatly boosted for a while. Among them, Yuan Shu was stationed in Yingchuan, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Chao was stationed in Suojube, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Zhang Yang were stationed in Hanoi, and the rest were still marching in the army, or delaying for grain and grass. It's just that these dozen or so soldiers and horses do not belong to each other and fight on their own.

Dong Table had already received the news in Luoyang, Kyoto, and heard that the Yellow Turban Yu Dang, Hexi Yang Feng, and Han Xian also took advantage of the situation to rebel.

Dong Bei was secretly vigilant against the Qingliu Party in the DPRK and China, and asked Hua Xiong, Li Xuan and others to guard the pass and take the initiative to attack. He also asked Niu Fu, who was stationed in Hedong, to step up his guards.

After Sun Jian received the text, he led his troops to set off from Changsha, and when he passed through Jingzhou, he borrowed grain and grass from Wang Gul of the Assassin History, but was rejected by Wang Gully, and he was angry in his heart, and he was killed while Wang Gul was unprepared, and Jingzhou was shaken for a while. When he arrived in Nanyang, Sun Jian asked Nanyang to guard Zhang Shi to come to captain the army, but Wang Jian was afraid and sent people to stick to Wancheng and did not go out of the city. Wancheng Lord Bo was dissatisfied, and after assassinating Zhang Shi, he opened the door to greet Sun Jian.

Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao's half-brother, Zi Highway, Yuan family's son-in-law. Yuan Shu is brave and brave by nature, and he is very happy. After Dong Table entered Luoyang, he followed Yuan Shao to leave Luoyang and return to Runan, where Yuan Shao was appointed as the Taishou of Bohai. At this time, Yingchuan and Runan Yellow Turbans rose again, and Dong Table listened to the suggestion to move Yuan Shu as the rear general, stationed in Yingchuan, and led the army to attack the Yellow Turban.

This Yuan Shu saw that Sun Jian had killed Zhang Zhi, so he led Nanyang Taishou in the name of the general, and recommended Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou and stationed in Luyang.

At this time, although the rebels from all walks of life supported the army to denounce Dong Table, they did not dare to move forward because they were afraid of Dong Table.

Sun Jian thought it was shameful and took the initiative to raise troops to station in Liangdong. Li urged that Sun Jian's lone army went deep, discussed with Xu Rong and Zhang Ji, and decided that Xu Rong would defend Guangcheng Pass, and Li Jian would lead his troops to attack Sun Jian.

Sun Jian saw it, led his troops out to meet him, and was defeated in the first battle by Li Xuxiliang's soldiers, and was defeated by Li Xu. Sun Jian was injured and fell from his horse, hiding in the grass before escaping with his life.

Cao Cao saw that Li urged to lead his troops to attack Sun Jian, and thought that he could take advantage of the opportunity, so he discussed with Liu Dai and Zhang Chao to attack Guangchengguan. Liu Dai refused because the grain and grass were not enough. Cao Cao had no choice but to send troops alone. He was ambushed by Xu Rong halfway through the journey, losing more than half of his troops, and Cao Cao was able to escape only after several of his cronies died. In desperation, he realized that the combat effectiveness of his army was too weak, and heard that the Danyang soldiers were strong and brave, so he went to Danyang with Xiahoudun to recruit troops.

Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin was moved by Cao Cao's righteous deeds and presented 4,000 elite soldiers. However, the people of Danyang are fierce and do not obey Cao Cao. Before they arrived, most of the soldiers had fled, and less than 1,000 people remained. Yuan Shaobu was also broken by Huaxiong and suffered heavy losses.

Faced with this situation, the morale of the rebels was low for a while, and Cao Cao saw that things were not good, so he wrote again to discuss with the rebels from all walks of life. thinks that this kind of fighting separately is easy to be broken by Dong Table, and the consequences are unpredictable. It is proposed to join forces in one place, elect the leader of the alliance, and fight against Dong Table with superior forces.

The other soldiers, who were watching from the sidelines, saw that Cao Cao was reasonable, and he could solve the problem of grain and grass, so they went to the sour jujube one after another.

Liu Bei was recommended by Gongsun Zan the year before last and appointed as the Pingyuan Order. This Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang, eat at the same table, sleep together. He also appointed Guan Yuma as the leader of the archers and Zhang Fei as the leader of the infantry archers, each with hundreds of soldiers. He also appointed Zhang Yi as Jin Cao's official and Jian Yong as the guest Cao official, and Liu Bei himself was diligent, honest, and close to the people, and actively persuaded farmers to plant grass and mulberry. Even ordinary pawns can sit at the same table with Liu Bei. When the people come to avenge their grievances, they must inquire in detail, carefully observe, and never careless of human life. For the strong and the common people, regardless of the high and low, it is very popular with the people. The road to the governance of PY County will not be left behind, and the households will not be closed. However, the county's Haoqiang had a lot of grievances against Liu Bei.

On this day, I heard that Gongsun Chan passed through this county to go to the Sour Jujube Alliance. Zhang Fei proposed to go, and Guan Yu also agreed. Liu Bei didn't want to miss such a grand event, so he guarded the plain by arranging Jian Yong and Zhang Yi, and took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the intersection to wait.

When Gongsun Zhan saw Liu Bei, he asked in surprise, "Why is Xuande here?" ”

Liu Bei shot up and replied: "I heard that my brother wants to go to the Sour Jujube Alliance, and he passed through here, so he came to ask the captain." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "Xuande is very polite." ”

Liu Bei said again: "I want to know that the alliance is lively, and I also want to see the heroes of the world, please ask my brother to take us to see it, and ask my brother to make it complete." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "What do I think is a big deal?" Since Xuande is willing, I can't ask for it, so please go with you! ”

When Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei and their entourage arrived at Desour Jujube, all the righteous armies had already arrived.

The 17th Route Army finally met at Sujube to discuss the strategy of marching. Taishou Wang Kuang said: "Today, in the spirit of righteousness, the alliance leader must be established, and everyone must obey the constraints, and then they can enter the army." ”

Cao Cao knew that his prestige was difficult to convince the public, and proposed: "Yuan Benchu's family is the fourth generation and the third duke, and there are many former officials under him, and he is a famous general of the Han Dynasty, so he can be the leader of the alliance." ”

Yuan Shao repeatedly excused himself. Everyone unanimously said, "It must be the original." Yuan Shao agreed. The next day, the three layers of the earthen platform were built, and the flags of the five directions were lined up, and Yuan Shao led the leader of the Seventeenth Road Righteous Army to go up slowly, burn incense and worship heaven and earth, and then read the covenant aloud: "The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control." The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Wherever I am allied, I will work together, and even the ministers will have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! "After reading it, I made a bloody oath with the leaders of the rebels.
