Luoyang, Jiade Palace.

When Liu Xie learned that there were more than 20 princes and cavalry begging for thieves, he suddenly felt panic in his heart, it turned out that there were so many people in the world who opposed his accession to the throne? A little trembling said to Dong Zhuo: "Xiangguo, if the princes rise up today, what should we do?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's just a thief, it's not enough to worry about it!" Dong Zhuo's expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to take the Kwantung princes in his eyes at all.

Shangshutai Shangshu Geng Ji sneered: "Xiangguo's words are wrong, the princes of Kwantung are all prestigious families, and they all have prominent statuses, how did they become thieves?" The princes raised troops, and their momentum was more than a million people, the soldiers and horses in the court, after the self-defense general left, although Xiangguo transferred Xiliang to be brave, but it was only 100,000 people, Xiangguo with only 100,000 soldiers, how to resist the millions of heroes of the Kwantung princes? ”

"Millions!?" Liu Xie's face turned a little pale when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "The princes of Kwantung, there are so many soldiers and horses? ”

Dong Zhuo sneered when he heard this: "If that folk man and coolie can also be regarded as a male teacher, he can gather millions of people!" ”

"Even so, 300,000 is always there, right? I don't know what Xiangguo's strategy is to break the enemy? Geng Ji continued to ask.

Dong Zhuo frowned and glanced at Geng Ji, but Li Ru behind him smiled and said: "Although the princes of Kwantung are powerful, Geng Shangshu must not forget that the people of Kwantung have been forgetting for a long time, although there are many people, but their combat power is low; Moreover, more than 20 princes, people are different, I heard that not long ago, that Sun Jian killed two princes in a row, I am afraid that if we don't wait for our army to go out, these princes will kill each other to kill a group, gather in one place, and also have different thoughts, to say that Qing Tan may be able to defeat our army, but want to use this rabble of enemies in our pass of 100,000 hundred heroes, Geng Shangshu can't help but look up to them too much. ”

"Don't forget!" Geng Ji looked at Li Ru and sneered: "Then Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian are all generals who have gone through battle, and there is also Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who is also a soldier of the border army!" The minister heard that Ye Zhao, the marquis of Naning Township, also joined the alliance, so many talents gathered together, are Xiangguo and Shizhong too optimistic. ”

"Sun Jian has not yet met the alliance, so he killed two princes in a row, how can the princes see it? Yuan Shao and Cao Cao may have generals, but the soldiers under their command are few and outnumbered, as for Ye Hou's ......" Li Ru looked at Geng Ji with a smile and said: "Geng Shangshu thinks that with the temperament of the Kwantung princes, he will hand over the soldiers and horses in his hands to Ye Hou to command?" If you don't have military power, only with the soldiers and horses under the command of Ye Hou, and you have to be constrained by the Kwantung princes, what can you do if you can't play a hundred percent of everything? ”

What's more, people are still secretly allied with this side?

The last sentence, Li Ru didn't say, this matter is still confidential, at least before turning his face with Ye Zhao, the relationship between the two sides of the secret alliance cannot be known to the world, but Ye Zhao has migrated on a large scale during this time, although Hanoi is Ye Zhao's territory, but Luoyang's side, there is no guarantee that it can be hidden, but with Ye Zhao's ability, I am afraid that even if the news spreads, there is no real hammer, and it will be difficult for the princes to really target Ye Zhao.

When Geng Ji and the ministers heard this, their faces became difficult to look at, with Ye Zhao's temperament and his previous inaction in the face of Dong Zhuo, it was really hard to imagine that Ye Zhao would do his best to fight for the great cause of thieves.

Looking at Geng Ji, who had an ugly face, Dong Zhuo glanced at the ministers in the palace again, and said with a sneer: "Geng Shangshu seems to be tired, come here, send Geng Shangshu down to rest." ”

"Dong thief, you are perverse, you will not die well!" Geng Ji was dragged by two armor soldiers, and he struggled angrily and roared at Dong Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing important, the minister will retire first, and prepare to deal with this Kanto rat thief!" Dong Zhuo sneered and said to Liu Xie.

"Xiangguo is gone, and this matter will be troubled by Xiangguo." Liu Xie nodded and said.

Dong Zhuo took Li Ru and the others out of the Jiade Palace, and when he saw that the rest of the ministers had not come out yet, he frowned and said, "Then what news has Ye Zhao had recently?" ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, Ye Zhao sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, and the first gift will arrive soon, please rest assured." Li Ru said with a smile.

"I hope so." Dong Zhuo nodded and continued to walk towards the Dong Mansion.

……

Sour dates, the camp of the coalition army, after greeting Cao Cao and catching up with him, Ye Zhao ignored Cao Cao's obstruction, and pulled Cao Cao straight to the camp.

"Who is this?" Ye Zhao picked his chin and looked at Liu Daidao.

Liu Dai snorted coldly, and the rest of Qiao Mao, Li Min, and Kong Ling also had an expression of disdain to talk to Ye Zhao, and Cao Cao on the side hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "This is Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, a clan relative of the Han family, and the son of Liu Yu, the king of Lu." ”

"It was originally a clan member of the Han family, disrespectful!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Liu Dai sneered when he heard this: "Although the Marquis of Ningxiang is from a humble background, he also knows some etiquette. ”

"The flood of clansmen in this Han family has also made the good and bad in the clan uneven, and any cat or dog can sit on the position of state pastor, no wonder Dong Zhuo dares to do anything to abolish the establishment." Ye Zhao didn't care either, and turned to Cao Caodao.

"Bastard, what did you say!?" Liu Dai slapped the table, stood up and scolded angrily.

"If you don't have good ears, don't be embarrassed here!" Ye Zhao stepped forward, grabbed Liu Dai's back collar, and lifted him up.

"Let go of me, you are just a good family, dare to bully me!?" Liu Dai was lifted in the air by Ye Zhao, dancing with his hands, and scolded angrily with a red face.

"Even if it is a member of the Han family, I have to follow the rules of the imperial court, I am the Marquis of Ningxiang, General Wei, in terms of respect and humility is much higher than your state pastor, this is the commander of the army, I am here, you dare to sit on the handsome position?" Ye Zhao put Liu Dai down casually, sat on the handsome seat with a golden sword, looked at Liu Dai with an angry face, and said: "Since you are a member of the Han family, how can you not even understand the rules and humility set by the Han family?" ”

"You ......" Liu Dai pointed at Ye Zhao, trembling with anger and speechless.

"Although King Lu is deceased, didn't he teach you during his lifetime that such a person who refers to him is still a person who is higher than himself, is it rude?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Dai coldly: "If you don't take back your dirty fingers, then you don't have to take them back." ”

Dian Wei on the side took a step forward, carrying an iron halberd in his hand, looking at Liu Dai with an unkind face, and his murderous gaze frightened Liu Dai and quickly withdrew his hand.

"When the Marquis of Ningxiang first came, he was so aggressive, could it be that he was also for the position of the leader of the alliance?" Li Min looked at Ye Zhaodao with a strange look.

"Alliance leader?" When Ye Zhao heard this, he laughed and said, "What do you want to do with the position of the leader of this alliance?" Taking care of such an incompetent? ”

"What does Ning Xianghou mean by this?" When Li Min heard this, he suddenly got up, glared at Ye Zhao angrily, and said, "You say I'm incompetent!?" ”

"Nope." Ye Zhao shook his head and smiled apologetically: "Ben Hou didn't mean you. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Cao Cao aside, glanced at the four of them and said with a smile: "Ben Hou is saying that everyone here is incompetent!" ”

When Li Min heard Ye Zhao's previous sentence, he thought that Ye Zhao was soft, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, but this latter sentence made everyone present angry.

"Xiuming, why is this so?" When Cao Cao heard this, he also hurriedly pulled Ye Zhao, this sentence, but everyone present was offended, he didn't know why Ye Zhao's shrewdness was like this?

"Huangkou Ruzi, but after a few insignificant victories, there is no one in his eyes!" Kong Ling, the highest in the grade, stood up and scolded angrily.

"Insignificant?" Ye Zhao smiled: "When you were in Youzhou, Zhao was only a county order, but he killed Xianbei Shan Yu, the Yellow Turban was in chaos, all the capable people did not see the enemy for the country, the thieves of Liang State, Changshe, Runan, and Nanyang were all broken by me, Muye rescued, where are you?" If this is also insignificant, I don't know what great achievements you have, say it, let Benhou look up to it. ”

"You are proud of your achievements, and there is no one in your eyes!" Li Min gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not me who sees anyone!" Ye Zhao looked at Li Min and smiled: "I remember, you are Yingchuan Taishou. ”

"Not bad!" Li Min said proudly.

"Yingchuan according to Luoyang, only separated by a Xuanyuan Pass, as long as Dong Zhuo is willing, only a light horse out of Xuanyuan Pass, one day can reach Yingchuan, you are Yingchuan Taishou, but all the troops are transferred here, resulting in Yingchuan emptiness, if Dong Zhuo's light cavalry arrives at this moment, looting Yingchuan, Yingchuan is empty, how to resist? As the Taishou of Yingchuan, what crime should you be guilty of? Ye Zhao looked at Li Min and shook his head and said: "I don't underestimate you, there is no one in my eyes, it is really your knowledge that makes Zhao can't help but think of the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, the day of the fall of Yingchuan, I don't know how Li Taishou faces this hero in the world?" ”

When Li Min heard this, his face changed, he only wanted to meet the alliance before, but he didn't expect this, Ye Zhao's words were not wrong, he was the same as the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiao, he didn't know about the army, he was just eager to come to participate in the alliance, he didn't think about it so much, he was awakened by Ye Zhao at this moment, and he couldn't help but be a little flustered in his heart, but it was impossible for him to admit what Ye Zhao said.

"If you have something important to do, let's take your leave!" Thinking that Yingchuan might be attacked, Li Min couldn't sit still, and immediately got up to say goodbye to everyone, preparing to gather his troops and horses and return to Yingchuan.

"Xiuming, you ...... Alas~" Cao Cao didn't know what to say, he had just come, and he had lost all the princes all the way, although Ye Zhao was right, but in this way, in the eyes of outsiders, it would naturally be a sign of instability in the hearts of the coalition forces, and it would also make the other princes who had not yet arrived fall in morale.

"Yingchuan is an important place, if Yingchuan is robbed, then Changsha, Nanyang and other places will be cut off, and I am also thinking about the coalition forces." Ye Zhao glanced inexplicably in the direction Li Min left and said with a smile.

"Humph!" Liu Dai and the others were squeezed by Ye Zhao, and at this moment, they were slapped in the face by Ye Zhao in fact, how could they have the face to continue to stay here, they each snorted coldly, and they didn't say hello to Cao Cao, and left the Chinese army commander's tent directly.

"Xiuming, when you came, you offended the four princes, how can we coordinate when we raise troops to fight thieves in the future?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao helplessly.

"At this time, I will wait for the future, besides, this kind of thing, it is not your turn and I to worry about it, I have Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway to fight, there is no reason for me to come to help kindly, but I still have to be angry." Ye Zhao stood up and said with a smile: "Is it relieved?" ”

"Solution!" Cao Cao nodded helplessly, his anger was relieved, but it will be more difficult for this coalition to coordinate operations in the future, although Ye Zhao is powerful, but if Liu Dai and others stumble behind their backs, even Ye Zhao may have to be pitted to death!

Ye Zhao shouldn't be such an unwise person, how could he change his normal edge today? Cao Cao glanced at the direction Ye Zhao left, and always felt that Ye Zhao's move was not as simple as relieving his anger
