Sun Jian had already killed Liu Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and arrived in Nanyang County. This is half a year earlier than in history.

At this time, in response to the text, a total of 18th Route Army, plus Cao Cao's army, and 19th Route Princes asked Dong for Dong and rushed to Luoyang.

This is one more road than in history, but there is no king mastiff all the way in history.

Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, led 15,000 men and horses, and when passing through Pingyuan County, Liu Bei led Guan Zhang and defected on the road.

It turned out that Liu Bei was a young man and Gongsun Zhan worshiped Lu Zhi as a teacher to study, and he was now the county magistrate of Gaotang County, but Gaotang County was broken by the Yellow Turban, and Liu Bei had no way out. Liu Bei then went to Gongsun Zan and was listed as Sima of other departments.

Liu Bei had hundreds of people under him, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were just horse archers and foot archers, and they were very miserable, but when Gongsun Chan came to Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao did not dislike them, and while receiving Gongsun Zhan, he also got acquainted with Liu Bei by the way.

It can be seen that Cao Cao is much more open-minded than the ordinary princes at this time.

Yang Xi's fifteen boats went all the way to the Yellow River, passing through counties along the river, and in order to get acquainted, they had to borrow grain in the name of Wang Mastiff. In the counties and counties that passed, as soon as they heard that it was Wang Mastiff's army, they drove a boat from Yuzhang to Hanoi for three months to ask for Dong, and they all competed for funding.

Everyone knows this loan, where to pay it back, but more or less, they are still willing to give something.

Everywhere Yang Xi passed, he had to give some return gifts, and this advertisement did not show any traces, which were the basis for gathering popularity in Donglai Port.

When he arrived at the river section of Suozao County (now fifteen miles north of Yanjin County, Henan), Yang Xi was a little nervous, and he was about to make an alliance with all the princes, and there were all cattle from the Three Kingdoms.

Although Cao Cao is not a bull now, he will be left after screening this batch of cattle in the future.

Yang Xi got off the boat and ordered the captains to sail the ships to Donglai Port to listen to Dong Maru's dispatch, and instructed the captains that if Dong Maru arrived, he must bring some Chenhe wine and send it to the sour dates immediately.

Yang Xi himself led Cai Kao, Zu Lang, and Tai Shici to lead the headquarters straight to Suozao County.

There was already a scout reported to Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao heard that there were military horses joining, he was naturally overjoyed, and led the left and right civil and military forces to pick up.

Yang Xi had already sent Wang Mastiff's official letter to avoid misunderstanding, but he did not say anything about Wang Mastiff's illness.

When Cao Cao came, he saw a young general who was eight feet tall, and brought in three young generals, all of whom were young, and suddenly thought in his heart, "Why didn't Wang Haiwei come in person, but sent such a young general to explore the way?" When I think of this, I don't like it in my heart, but I greet it with a smile on my face.

Yang Xi knew the etiquette at this time, and when he saw Cao Cao coming, he hurriedly dismounted, and bowed his hand: "Yang Xi, the young general of Yuzhang, has seen General Cao!" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly helped him up and said: "The little general is exempt, why don't you see Haiwei coming, could it be that something is delayed?" ”

Yang Xidao: "General, my soldiers and horses in Yuzhang County did not take the land route, but set off from Yuzhang by boat, all the way out of the river into the sea, and went north after more than four months of waterway to arrive here, but Lord Wang was tortured by wind and waves along the way, and was already bedridden a month ago, so the young general sent someone to send Lord Wang to recuperate in Donglai County first, if there is a recovery, he must come." ”

Cao Cao listened, and finally knew the ins and outs, and he was no longer dissatisfied with Wang Mastiff in his heart, but suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "The little general Ming Yang Xi, Yang Chenhe who traveled with the Yangtze River in Jiangxia, but -----? ”

Yang Xi hurriedly said: "It's exactly below!" ”

Cao Cao was shocked suddenly, couldn't help but be in awe, and hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be the son of Chenhe, the son is really noble, he is in the north, he has known the name of the son of Chenhe, and he regrets it because he has not seen it in his life, and he doesn't want the son to take risks in order to conquer the national thieves, I admire, the son please!" ”

Then Cao Cao personally led the way for Yang Xi, and Yang Xi was half-pushed and half-done, and was led to a large flat land to set up camp.

At this time, Cao Cao discovered that the equipment of Yang Xi's team was too sophisticated, and every ordinary soldier turned out to be the level of the protector of his own team, which was really luxurious.

So Cao Cao intentionally or unintentionally asked about this, and the result was that the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce fully sponsored, including Wang Mastiff's trip, food, grass, transportation, and equipment were all provided by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.

Cao Cao secretly thought that if he was funded by this person, his strength was estimated to double again.

At this time, Cao Cao only had a few thousand people, and if he wanted to fight Yang Xi alone, it was estimated that it would be better.

It's just that Cao Cao is one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and after the alliance, he became the acting general of Fenwu, and his title is too big.

So Yang Xi, a southern businessman, in the name of Wang Mastiff's agent, was on an equal footing with Cao Cao and was praised as a guest.

This matter has long been spread to the ears of the princes stationed in the sour dates, and Liu Bei's tent also heard the news.

Zhang Fei scolded with disdain: "I still thought Cao Cao was a highly respected person, but I didn't want to be a snob, seeing that people were rich, I couldn't wait to pounce on it and bite it twice!" ”

Liu Bei said: "The third brother Hugh is nonsense, that Yang Chenhe was originally a businessman, but he has the world in his heart and is willing to contribute grain, and at this time he is Wang Haiwei's agent, and his status is really one of the princes of the Nineteen Roads, but it is normal to receive this courtesy!" ”

Guan Yu didn't speak, but Zhang Fei snorted.

Liu Bei said: "This Yang Chenhe has also heard, it is said that poetry and martial arts, are first-class in the world, and there is a talent in business, and he has become rich in Jiangxi in a few years. ”

Guan Yu only touched his long beard at this time and nodded: "Yu can also see this person from a distance today, but he has some demeanor, if the eldest brother can get this person, he will be like a tiger with wings, and this person acts, although high-profile but also very measured, his reputation is very good, but his background is a little low." ”

Zhang Fei said: "Since the two elder brothers have said that this person is beneficial, it is better to let me invite him over and let the eldest brother persuade him, anyway, his subordinates are all Wang Mastiff's, this person's status is low, presumably the eldest brother gave him a protector to do, and he obeyed." ”

"Third brother, don't come nonsense, this person is not something you and I can recruit at the moment, we can only get close, and when we have the opportunity, it's not too late to solicit again." Liu Bei secretly thought that if he had the identity of Cao Cao or Gongsun Zan at this time, it would be easy to do.

The princes from all walks of life arrived one after another, and only Sun Jian was still in Nanyang County.

Yang Xi was waiting for Dong Pill to send the goods, and his goods were extremely important.

Yang Xi plans to take these goods, visit all the princes all the way, and get acquainted with these people, and when the time comes to do business on your territory, you will always have to give some face.

In fact, it is up to you to fight to the death, and I develop myself in secret, plundering resources and expanding my influence.

Let's talk about Mr. Sun Jian's glorious deeds, when he arrived in Nanyang County, Sun Jian had already commanded 30,000 horses.

killed Liu Rui and crossed Nanjun, naturally he wanted to pluck the goose, and those who surrendered and defected were all incorporated into the military system.

At this time, Liu Xiang's troops had reached 8,000 people, and he was complacent.

So Sun Jian and Liu Xiang sent an official letter to Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, asking him to supply military rations.
