In the spring of the second year of Yonghan (190 AD), Liu Xie changed the year name to Chuping, which was the second year name after Liu Xie's accession to the throne, and also hoped that the world would be peaceful, but unfortunately, it was just a good wish.

"Lord, this is a sea fishing document issued by the imperial court, asking all counties to arrest Cao Cao!" In the Ye Mansion, Zhao Yun handed over the list just sent by the imperial court to Ye Zhaodao: "The main book asks if it is posted?" ”

Ye Zhao and Cao Cao were friends when they were in Luoyang, and they were also the ones in the scholar class who were not most willing to associate with Ye Zhao, and now there are obviously some unknown agreements between Ye Zhao and Dong Zhuo, and therefore, as Ye Zhao's subordinates, the generals don't know how Ye Zhao will deal with this matter.

"Ignore him!" Ye Zhao put the list text down casually, Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo in the name of offering a knife last month and escaped from Luoyang, and now Dong Zhuo sent the list text here, obviously he didn't expect Ye Zhao to help him deal with Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo is all this thought, why should Ye Zhao cater to Dong Zhuo? Besides, no matter what Cao Cao did, it was impossible for him to come to Ye Zhao.

However, Cao Cao's failure to assassinate Dong also means that the time for the alliance of princes to seek Dong is about to come, right?

Dong Zhuo now, even if he has the heart to embarrass Ye Zhao, at this time, I am afraid that he will have to compromise with Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao immediately said to Zhao Yun: "Inform Xu Rong and Ji Ling, this second batch of people can be sent, Zilong, this time you will accompany the guard." ”

The second group of people is too important to Ye Zhao, and there is no room for any mistakes, not only about Liu Bian, who is about Ye Zhao's orthodox name in the future, but also Ye Zhao's wife and children, who cannot afford to be lost, and therefore, Ye Zhao not only sent the Niefan Battalion as the personal escort of Liu Wei, Liu Wei and others, but also sent Xu Rong, Zhao Yun and Ji Ling, who were the best at commanding the troops under Ye Zhao, and accompanied by 6,000 guards.

The route was also sent back by Xi Zhicai, taking Mengjin to land, bypassing Michi and then passing through Kinmen, it is not easy for Dong Zhuo to send troops now, and it is difficult to find a place to ambush troops, Dong Zhuo has now confirmed the deployment of troops for the Kwantung princes, if he wants to do anything to this army and horses, he must break the previous deployment and remobilize people, this move is unwise, and it may not be able to stay, at this time, it is undoubtedly the safest.

"Whoa!" Zhao Yun solemnly saluted and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely protect the safety of the two master mothers and the young master!" ”

"Go ahead." Ye Zhao patted Zhao Yun's shoulder and smiled.

"Whoa! Take care! Zhao Yun nodded, the second group of men and horses were already ready, and at this moment, they only needed Ye Zhao's order to set off, and on the same day, under the command of Xu Rong, Ji Ling and Zhao Yun, a vast force of nearly 30,000 people boarded the boat, went up the Yellow River, and headed for Mengjin.

There are nearly 3,000 people in the family of generals and craftsmen alone, plus Ye Zhao's family members, craftsmen, and accompanying maids and servants, just these, plus nearly 10,000 troops, and 20,000 people who carry grain and grass, this scale alone is enough to make any prince along the way frightened, and it is also because of this that Ye Zhao is stuck in time to send people out, if it is at other times, even if there is a transaction with Dong Zhuo, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will not be able to let such a huge team pass from his jurisdiction.

At this time, the princes have begun to put pressure on Luoyang, and even some counties in Sili have raised rebel flags against Dong Zhuo, at this time, Dong Zhuo is probably not willing to openly tear his face with Ye Zhao, and the route chosen by Ye Zhao is also the route with the lowest threat to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is difficult to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress in the shortest possible time, and it is difficult for Ye Zhao's people to launch an attack on Dong Zhuo's important town.

However, in this way, there are only 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers left around Ye Zhao who are a mixture of the new army and the county soldiers, and the reduction in combat effectiveness is far from being as simple as halving the number of people.

Luoyang, Xiangfu.

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Dong Zhuo slapped the table with a shocking sound: "What is Ye Zhao going to do?" Kinmen, Mianchi and Mengjin were occupied by it, and it was not enough to send nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now it has sent 30,000 people! ”

"Father-in-law, the last general will ask for battle, only three thousand iron horsemen, and the Ye Zhao minions will not be left behind!" Lu Bu suddenly got up and said loudly to Dong Zhuo.

Since the change of the year name, although Lu Bu has not yet obtained the actual military power, but the official title has risen all the way, and now he is a former general, and the title is also Marquis Wen, if you talk about the title, it is still above Ye Zhao, the countryman, and because of this, Lu Bu is eager to have another fight with Ye Zhao, and now his identity and status are no less than Ye Zhao, he really wants to see Ye Zhao's expression.

"Wen Hou is a little safe!" Li Ru got up and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, Confucianism thinks that there is nothing wrong with Ye Zhao's move, according to the news found by the son-in-law, although the number of people who have landed from Mengjin this time is large, but most of them are old and weak women and children and people who press grain, if Ye Zhao really wants to do something, he will not send such people, not only useless, but drags it down, according to the son-in-law's humble opinion, among these people, I am afraid that there are some important people among them, otherwise Ye Zhao will never be so cautious!" ”

"Someone important?" Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, chewed on these words, narrowed his eyes and said, "King Hongnong? ”

"I'm afraid it's not all, my son-in-law thinks that Ye Zhao's wife and children are probably among them!" Li Ru said with a smile: "Since Ye Zhao will not take Hanoi as his foundation, his wife and children staying in Hanoi will definitely be easy for others to take advantage of, and at this time, there is still a little ......."

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru and motioned for him to continue.

"Father-in-law, my army is now, I'm afraid even if I want to, I can't do it." Li Ru said with a wry smile: "Now the princes of Kwantung have no intention of subservience, most of our army is deployed in Xingyang, Aocang, Hujiao, Yique, Revolving Gate and Luoyang, if you want to attack Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that you need to transfer troops directly from Luoyang, in this way, Luoyang is empty, I am afraid that it will be taken advantage of, Ye Zhao is afraid that he also saw this opportunity, his father-in-law could not transfer troops, so he dared to move so many people to cross the border with such fanfare." ”

"What's more, if you make enemies with Ye Zhao at this time, it will push him to the side of the Kwantung princes, if you secretly cooperate with him, we can also get the arrangement of the coalition army from Ye Zhao, if you use troops against his family at this moment, I am afraid it will only anger Ye Zhao, so that he will fully assist the coalition army and help the coalition army break through our army, father-in-law, don't forget, the tiger prison is closed, and our army has found out several secret passages, do you know if Ye Zhao has any other backs? The son-in-law thought that at this time, it would be beneficial for both to cooperate with Ye Zhao, and in the future, Ye Zhao would be self-reliant elsewhere, and our army could also unite with him, if he was determined to embarrass him, he would only add another enemy to his father-in-law! Li Ru bowed and said.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he remembered Ye Zhao's arrangement in the Tiger Prison, his face couldn't help but turn a little dark, and he nodded: "Since this is the case, then just look at those people, as long as Ye Zhao has no bad intentions, he will borrow from him, otherwise he will ......"

Dong Zhuo didn't continue, but everyone could naturally understand his meaning.

In March of the first year of the first peace, after Cao Cao returned to Qian County after all the hardships, he first persuaded his father Cao Song to take out half of his family wealth to recruit Zhuang Yong, and then Wei Hong, a big clan of Qian County, felt his righteousness, and scattered all his family wealth to fund Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao's brothers heard the news to help, and in just over a month, he asked Cao Cao to pull up a team.

In April, Cao Cao took the lead in issuing an edict that spread all over the world, calling on heroes from all walks of life in the world to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo and support the Han Dynasty.

The text was issued, and the world responded.

Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Yuyang Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Jizhou Thorn Shi Fu Han Fu, Xihe Taishou Cui Jun, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Rui, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Nanjun Taishou Zhang Shi, Chen Chu Wang/Fu Han General Liu Chong, Bingzhou Sima Zhang Yang, counting Cao Cao, A total of 22 princes responded with troops, and although many princes did not respond, they also supported the coalition army and were willing to provide grain and grass for the coalition army.

End of April, Hanoi, Ye Chao Fuzhong.

"I would like to tell the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Filth the palace and mutilate living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, according to the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers are gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers; Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; support the imperial family in danger and save the people from fire and water; When the text arrives, it can be pursued quickly! Zhao Shen, who was temporarily Ye Zhao's main book, unfolded a document and read it aloud in the hall.

"This is a text sent by Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo is perverse, people and gods are angry, I want to raise troops to respond, what do you think?" Ye Zhao motioned for Zhao Shen to sit down and looked at everyone.

The crimes listed in the edict, Ye Zhao just listened to it, what really made him care was that Cao Cao had already said in his private letter to him, so far, there have been twenty-two princes officially raised troops, if the troops do not move at this time, the surrounding Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao and others will have enough reasons to join forces to destroy him first, although the family and the craftsmen who have accumulated before have been sent to Hanzhong, at this time Ye Zhao has no worries, but Ye Zhao has never thought of being an enemy with the princes of the world, he wants to gain a foothold in Hanzhong, In the future, there will be a long time to deal with the princes, and this diplomatic relationship cannot be too bad, at least we must have some affection to meet in the future.

"What the lord said is very true, raising troops to fight Dong is a righteous act, and it should be so!" Fang Yue got up and arched his hand.

Now Ye Zhao's generals, Ding Li, Xiahoulan, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Ji Ling, and Guan Hai have all been transferred to Hanzhong, and now Ye Zhao's side, the rest are Dian Wei, Fang Yue, Zhang Liao, Meng Hu and some newly promoted generals, since Ye Zhao said that he would respond to the edict, naturally no one objected.

"Okay, since that's the case, all the generals will reorganize their soldiers and horses, and in three days, they will go to Sujube with Benhou to participate in the alliance of princes." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

The sour jujube is not far from Huai County, only more than 100 miles apart, even if the troops are sent later, they can catch up with the alliance initiated by Yuan Shao.

"The last general commands!" Dian Wei and the others stood up and shouted.
