Chapter 36: Cao Mengde

At the same time that Dong'e was turned upside down by Zhang Yuanchang, Hanoi, more than 700 miles away, also fell into chaos. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few months ago, the anti-Dong alliance was established in response to the princes of the Thirteenth Road, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuangtun soldiers in Hanoi, Kong Lingtun soldiers in Yingchuan, Yuan Shutun soldiers in Nanyang, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yitun soldiers in sour dates, and Han Futun soldiers in Yecheng to supply the allied army with grain and grass.

Although the coalition forces forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an, Sun Jian was defeated by Xu Rong in Liangdi, Wang Kuang was defeated by Dong Zhuo in Heyangjin, and Cao Cao, Bao Xin, Yuan Shao and others were defeated by Xu Rong in Bianshui.

When Han Fu cut off the food and grass of the coalition army, the rebels of the alliance gradually returned to their respective stations, leaving only Sun Jian still working to save the Han family.

Among them, Yuan Shao led 30,000 elite soldiers to the north, Wang Kuang was killed, and now only the military captains, Cao Mengde, and Cao Cao are stationed in Hanoi.

"Let you go slowly."

"Master Cao doesn't need to send it."

In the Hanoi barracks, Cao Cao and another person walked out of the military tent, the man was dressed in a fancy costume with a serious expression, until Cao Cao quietly handed out a bag of gold, he smiled slightly, and after arching his hand perfunctorily with Cao Cao, he took the horse rope of his entourage, turned over on the horse, and drove away in the dust.

Looking at the man's back disappearing on the horizon, Cao Cao's narrow eyes narrowed, and he quickly opened them, turned around, and a military general wearing armor walked over from the darkness, pounded the giant tree that the three of them hugged at the camp gate, and his face was full of resentment: "Blind these ten taels of gold!" ”

"Silence!" Cao Cao glared at him, and after returning to his tent, he spoke, "Zilian, when can you change your temperament?" ”

Zi said: A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. I don't rob or be greedy, what to change? The military general took off his helmet and clamped it under his armpit, it was Cao Hong, "But this Yuan Benchu dared to really represent the position of the clan brother Dongjun Taishou." ”

"Hmph, why wouldn't he dare?" Cao Cao asked a few guards to guard the door, took out a roll of bamboo slips from the table, and threw it to Cao Hong, "Take it with the appointment of the representation, take a look." ”

"Huh." Cao Hong saw it quickly, and his face was surprised, "Emperor Xian is still there, this Yuan Benchu and Han Wenjie dare to support Liu Yu as an enemy, so they are not afraid of the world's centrifugation?" How did the clan brother reply? ”

"Naturally refuse."

"No wonder the messenger's face is darker than Yuan Rang." Cao Hong handed the bamboo slip back to Cao Cao, "But what did Yuan Benchu have in mind?" ”

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest." Cao Cao threw the bamboo slip back on the table.

"Brother is saying that Yuan Benchu wanted to seize Jizhou?" Cao Hong's eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned, "But Jizhou is bordered by Youzhou Gongsun Zan in the north, Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the east, Tao Qian in the south, and Dong thief in the west. ”

"But don't forget that the people of Jizhou are prosperous, the soldiers and food are abundant, Yuan Benchu wants to win the world, there must be a foothold, how can he be like me, send people under the fence, wind and rain." Cao Cao sighed lightly, "What's more, Yuan Benchu also has Nanyang, Yingchuan and Hebei Shi clans to help, and Jizhou is at your fingertips." ”

"Even I now belong to five thousand, and three thousand still belong to Zhang Miao, pitiful, pitiful."

Cao Hong glanced at him, there was no trace of frustration on his face, but he was also relieved: "At this time, isn't it our opportunity?" ”

"yes." Cao Cao nodded, pushed open the camp tent and walked out, Cao Hong hurriedly followed, "Hey, in order to get a chance to send troops to Dongjun, it is ridiculous that he has become someone's watchdog." ”

The two walked out a few steps, and another general came up to greet them, Cao Hong saw it, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Meng Zhuo." ”

"Zilian doesn't need to be polite." The person who came was Zhang Miao, he looked a little nervous, his eyes moved between Cao Cao and Cao Hong, and he spoke in a hurry, "Brother Meng Dexian, this ......"

Cao Hong glanced at him amusedly, and was glared at by Cao Cao, before arching his hand: "Lord, I'll go to the school first." ”

After Cao Hong left, Zhang Miao's shrugged shoulders relaxed, and his eyes regained some brilliance: "Brother Meng Dexian, that was Yuan Benchu's envoy just now?" ”

"Not bad." Cao Cao nodded pleasantly, pretending not to know, "Brother Meng Zhuo, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Uh...... Yuan Benchu, he ......" Zhang Miao rubbed his hands, his eyes fluttering, "...... Did you talk about me? ”

"Nope." Cao Cao shook his head firmly, "Just appoint me as the Taishou of Dongjun to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves who invaded Dongjun." ”

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Miao let out a long sigh of relief, looked up and saw Cao Cao's strange look, and said embarrassedly, "Brother Fool can entrust all his life to Brother Xian, Brother Xian must not listen to Yuan Benchu's slander." ”

"Brother Meng Zhuo is relieved that Meng De will definitely not live up to the trust."

"In this way, the foolish brother will not bother the virtuous brother anymore, and he will leave."

Looking at the figure of Zhang Miao coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, Cao Cao's lips moved, he didn't speak, and continued to walk towards the school field.

On the school ground, 5,000 soldiers were either armed with swords or guns, staring at Cao Cao on the platform, with a momentum like a rainbow. In front of them, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian and others opened their feet, clasped their hands into fists, and shouted in unison: "Lord, please give instructions." ”

"Today, I was awarded the title of Taishou of Dongjun, and I was also ordered to crusade against the remnants of the Yellow Turban...... Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to work with me to revitalize the Han family and kill all the rebellious ministers and thieves in the world? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Expedition!"

With a wave of Cao Cao's big hand, the entire army rose up step by step, and struck towards the Yu Poison Department that was harassing Dongjun.

In the crowd, Xiahoudun's subordinates, there is a burly, ugly-looking strong man who is particularly conspicuous, it is Dian Wei who defected to Cao Cao in advance, he is carrying a double halberd, holding a shoulder-length knife, looking at the northeast at the moment, looking forward to meeting the masked man again.

At the same time, in the north of Dong'e, Bian Xi, the commander of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Canal, was entertaining his subordinates, when suddenly a cronie ran in and whispered a few words in his ear.

After he left, Bian Xi threw the wine bowl on the ground with a "snap": "Hmph, I deceived a hundred elites with rhetoric, and I couldn't even take a small Dong'a." ”

"Qu Shuai, that Zhang Yuan often failed?"

"Failed." Bian Xi directly grabbed the wine jar and took a few sips heroically, "Where do you think we should go?" ”

"Since we can't capture Dong'e, it makes no sense for us to go south to join Yu Xuan, it's better to go north, take advantage of the confrontation between Gongsun Chan and Han Fu, attack the Bohai Sea, and join the Montenegrin army."

"But that Gongsun Zan has 20,000 white horses to follow ......"

"Qu Shuai, we will lead 300,000 people, and 20,000 white horse righteous followers are not afraid."

Bian Xi put down the wine jar, looked at the man, thought for a moment, and then decided: "Okay, pass the order, and the whole army will be drawn tomorrow." Guan Hai, I order you to lead 50,000 heavenly soldiers as the vanguard. ”

The man who spoke answered, "Yes!" ”
