Cao Cao and Liu Lan led the troops.

At the beginning, two large flags were displayed in the wind, one side was written "Xiao Cavalry Captain Cao", and the other side was written "Xiangping County Order Liu".

Behind the bannermen, there were two sturdy war horses, and the one wearing a big red cloak with fish scale armor on his right hand was Cao Cao, and beside him, Liu Lan held a black dragon slayer knife and followed the big banner away from the alliance camp.

When the troops left the alliance camp, Cao Cao's expression like a 10,000-year-old glacier gradually melted, and the princes suddenly fell ill today? How is it possible, it is not because of his status as the heir of the eunuch party? Although he has been trying to change, it obviously has not changed the opinion of the scholars and even the scholars on him, although the group of heroes to discuss Dong is his single-handed, but after the edict to discuss Dong is the only one who really responds to him, as for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two brothers are spontaneous, and it has nothing to do with him, and the reason why the related sour jujube coalition finally met is first because of Han Fu helping Yuan, and this is an episode, when Yuan Shao carried the banner of Dong in Jizhou, Han Fu once asked: Is it to help Yuan's or Dong's today?

If it weren't for the governance of the country, Liu Zihui directly said that the army is now for the country, what is Yuan and Dong. Otherwise, Han Fu was still hesitant directly, and there would not be Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao deceived the three dukes of Jingshi to move to Shuzhou County, and it was because of this secret decree of the three dukes that there was a later sour jujube alliance, but Cao Cao took a precedent in order to have the fact that he issued an edict to discuss Dong but was not treated by the princes.

Cao Cao was a hundred unconvinced in his heart, no matter what, now the princes are targeting Dong Zhuo, what scholar clan, what relatives, what eunuch party should be united, instead of mixing those grievances in the past.

But he still underestimated these scholars too much, and even risked breaking the appointment with others.

How will Cao Cao choose?

Ask the princes to send troops? Most likely, after all, he only has 15,000 men under his account. And the 10,000 cavalry was brought by Liu Lan from Liaodong. But Cao Cao did not get their wish, and at this moment, he had the idea of not borrowing the power of the Shi clan for the first time. He has to rely on himself and his true friends to accomplish great things. Come to Kuang Fu Han Room.

Why are you just the shadow of the ancestors, there is a set of empty talk, which one has real ability, on leading troops to fight, he first broke the yellow scarf and then entered the Xiyuan Army, and participated in the battle against Wang Fen, saving the son of heaven and in danger, these exploits, not to mention these princes. Even the Yuan brothers are incomparable.

He didn't look down on Yuan Shao, in fact, the two of them cherished each other, otherwise they would not have become close friends, and it was the special identity of the two, one was a wealthy concubine, and a descendant of eunuchs, it was this special experience that made the two people who grew up with white eyes have to work hard, so that the world will look at him differently. At present, although Cao Cao can only use Liu Lan's power to fight the thief, he knows that if this battle is successful, he will be able to completely reverse the pattern of fighting against Dong, at this moment. Although these scholars were not with him, it seemed to him that this was a golden opportunity. He can complete the great cause of supporting the Han family with Yuan Shao and Liu Lan, two confidants.

Although there were fewer soldiers, they were compared to the miscellaneous armies of other princes. The fifteen thousand people he led were the elite of the elite, not to mention that many times things can be done. It also depends on the will of God.

Cao Cao wants to decide the fate of others, not to be decided by others, if the princes really come together, all kinds of contradictions will be highlighted, but it will make him unable to let go, but as far as he and Liu Lan are concerned, there will be no such situation, just two years ago, the two had a joint crusade against Wang Fen, and the two worked together at that time, and this time there was no reason to tie each other's hands and feet.

At this moment, in the eyes of the princes, Cao Cao may have chosen a path of death, but in Cao Cao's view, this is a godsend.

Finally, he took a deep look in the direction of the princes' camp, the banners were flying, the halberds and copper axes were flying, and the originally grand sight now looked like a joke.

Just as Cao Cao was about to speed up his march, suddenly a group of infantry rushed towards them, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and at the same time, a vague shout came from the distance: .

"Mengde."

Cao Cao turned around and looked up, although the shouting was vague and he couldn't tell who was shouting him, but he could judge that this army was Zhang Miao's, as this infantry got closer and closer, Cao Cao saw the general in advance, greeted him, and arched his hand: "Captain Wei, why are you here?" ”

The person who came was Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao's account under Weizi, more than thirty years old, tall, ordinary appearance, good use of a spear, in Chen Liu, he is also the number one fierce general, but unfortunately there is a BMW missing, once saw Cao Cao and begged for a horse with a shy face, Cao Cao should go down at that time, but it has not been fulfilled until now.

"What are you?" Cao Cao looked at Wei Zi, Wei Zi definitely didn't come to beg for horses, if he really wanted to think like this, then his heart was not just dark.

Wei Zi took a few breaths, evened out his breath, and then said: "The county guard heard that Meng De was attacking Dong, and sent me to help Meng De. ”

Cao Cao chuckled, at the critical moment, these old friends were doing their best to help him, and his face immediately became solemn and solemn: "Then thank you Captain Wei, I don't know how many people Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao) sent?" ”

Wei Zi smiled awkwardly and said: "This time, the county guard sent three thousand people, Meng De must not be shabby, this is really the only force that the county guard can draw now." ”

"No, of course not, only Meng Zhuo helped among the princes, how could I be afraid of a lack of soldiers, not only that, after this battle, I will personally thank him."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Hurry up and march to Xingyang with your troops." ”

"No!"

Wei Zi retreated, Cao Cao's face instantly became gloomy, and he smiled bitterly at Liu Lan, and said, "This is the so-called best friend, the so-called scholar clan, haha." ”

Cao Cao laughed, but the laughter was so bleak.

"People are warm and cold, the world is cold, Meng De still doesn't understand these things, no matter what, at this moment, only Zhang Miao sent troops to help you and me." Liu Lan comforted Cao Cao softly, but Cao Cao's mood was never high, he could understand his mood at this time, if he changed to his position, maybe it would not be as good as Cao Cao.

The army embarked on the journey, and for several hours, Liu Lan suddenly remembered something and asked Cao Cao: "Meng De, what is the boundary ahead?" ”

"Xingyang, what's wrong?"

It stands to reason that Liu Lan will definitely not forget this matter, that is, when Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo in the romance, he was ambushed here and almost lost his life, although the geographical location explained in the romance is wrong, but Liu Lan is still worried, what if Xu Rong really sets up an ambush again? So Liu Lan has always attached great importance to this matter, but since he learned that the army was going to pull out the forbidden army Xingyang together, he felt that he didn't need to remind Cao Cao to pay attention to the ambush, and it was this negligence that made him think of such a stubble again until this moment, and hurriedly reminded him that he must be careful, if the enemy army has ambushes, it will be dangerous.

Hearing the word ambush, Cao Cao immediately lost his voice and laughed: "Is De'an too worried, unless the enemy army has found out the news that our army is about to enter the army, how can he set up an ambush here?" ”

"It's better to be careful." Liu Lan didn't dare to guarantee that it would happen like Cao Cao was ambushed by Xu Rong in history, and it was more for the purpose of being cautious, but after seeing Cao Cao's disapproving performance, Liu Lan immediately said the word danger in his heart, didn't care about Cao Cao, and directly ordered Shi Ren to investigate.

Almost at the same time, a mutation occurred, and the ambush appeared. (To be continued......)
