Sour jujube, to the east of **, the continuous military tents are densely packed, and the allied forces of Dong from all walks of life are still stationed here, and they have never pulled out the camp to march west, and fought a frontal battle with Dong Zhuo's troops.

The envoy sent by Dong Zhuo here was Han Rong, his fame was too great, Liu Dai, Zhang Chao, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao and others all saluted him, and no one dared to treat him coldly.

Han Rong was actually very resistant to the matter of surrendering, he wished that the Kwantung Coalition Army could chop Dong Zhuo into pulp, so that he would always be threatened by Dong Zhuo, an old thief, in the future. However, Han Rong's family is all in Luoyang, and for the sake of his family's life, he can only go through the motions according to Dong Zhuo's request and say everything that needs to be said.

Han Rong asked the leaders of the coalition forces, although Dong Zhuo was a little domineering, he never treated the Shi clan badly, and he had no intention of usurping the throne and standing on his own, why did you oppose him? At the beginning, the group of eunuchs who served the ten permanent servants caused chaos in the government, and they didn't see everyone rise up to crusade? It's better for everyone to lead the soldiers and horses back to their own territory and live a good life! Dong Zhuo's forces are only in Luoyang and Guanzhong, as long as everyone comes from where they come from and where they go back, he will not remove everyone from their official positions, nor will he send troops to attack everyone.

Han Rong's words were soft and not impassioned at all, but they still shook some of the morale and morale of the coalition forces.

Just when the leaders of the coalition forces were having a headache about how to deal with Han Rong, Yuan Shao, the alliance leader who had arrived in Hanoi, sent an order to Suojube: Kill all the envoys sent by Dong Zhuo! The sour jujube coalition army immediately pulled out the camp and marched westward to attack the Tiger Prison Pass!

The sour jujube suddenly exploded.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, advocated killing Han Rong to set an example. Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao resolutely opposed, he believed that Han Rong was coerced by Dong Zhuo, and he could not be killed if he was not guilty of death. The rest of the people, such as Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi and others, also have their own ideas, and they are arguing endlessly about whether to kill Han Rong.

At a critical moment, Cao Cao, who was soft-spoken, stood up and proposed: "The alliance leader only asked to kill the envoys from all walks of life, but did not ask when to kill, maybe his mind will change after a while, it is better to take Han Rong into custody first, and then make a decision later." It is imperative that the coalition forces advance westward as soon as possible, and do not let Dong Zhuo's troops occupy favorable terrain! ”

Cao Cao's suggestion is very pertinent, and contains the wisdom of shelving disputes and working together to resolve the main contradictions.

The chieftains eventually adopted Cao Cao's suggestion, and they imprisoned Han Rong, while the other two lesser-known Shaofu Qing Yin Xiu and Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Huan were poisoned by them with wine and sent their heads to Hanoi to prove their determination and attitude to Yuan Shao.

After killing Yin Xiu and Wang Huan, the sour jujube coalition still had no actual action, and several coalition leaders sang in the tent every day, scolding Dong Zhuo for his cruelty and inhumanity, it seems that the more fierce they scold, Dong Zhuo, who is far away in Luoyang City, will live a few years less.

Cao Cao was fed up with this kind of cunning practice of only using his lips and not his hands, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and initiate the first battle with Dong Zhuojun.

Before he started, Cao Cao came to meet with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei.

Cao Cao said: "Yuan Benchu has refused to cross the river so far, and only stood still in Hanoi, but he ordered the sour jujube coalition army to send troops westward, so I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will not be shaken!" ”

Bao Xin had a good relationship with Cao Cao, and he used to move around a lot when he was in Luoyang, and he looked down on Yuan Shao and felt that Yuan Shao was the kind of person who talked about it. When everyone in the world said that Yuan Shao could achieve great things, Bao Xin scoffed, he always thought that Cao Cao was the one who did great things.

After listening to Cao Cao's analysis, Bao Xin snorted coldly and said: "Yuan Benchu is flashy and unrealistic, if he intends to fight a decisive battle with Dong Thief, he should cross the river with his soldiers and horses, and concentrate all the soldiers and horses from Hebei, Guandong and Nanyang to deal with Dong Zhuo." Now he is standing still in Hanoi, clearly wanting to sit back and enjoy his success. If the sour jujube coalition can win, as the leader of the alliance, he will naturally command well; If the sour jujube coalition suffers a defeat, he will shirk the responsibility for the ineffective battle. In short, he doesn't want to contribute, he just wants results. ”

Cao Cao was speechless for Bao Xin's sharp analysis and criticism. Yuan Shao has a good relationship with him, and now he is the leader of the alliance, Cao Cao can't say bad things about him behind Yuan Shao's back.

"I decided to send troops alone and lead my 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Guo Yan, the vanguard of the Dong thief, in Bianshui! It is hoped that through this battle, the leaders of the coalition will wake up and then work hard. Cao Cao made a resolute decision.

"Good! This is long overdue. My brother and I will lead the army to fight with you! Without hesitation, Bao Xin decided to act with Cao Cao.

Bao Xin's current military position is a broken general, and his younger brother Bao Tao is a general, and he also has 3,000 men under his command.

After talking to Bao Xin, Cao Cao returned to his tent and convened the main leaders under his command.

Seven people who came to attend the meeting included Wei Zi, Ren Jun, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun.

Weizi is a filial piety in the area of Chen Liuxiangyi, and his family is quite wealthy. Cao Cao was able to recruit 5,000 soldiers and horses near Chenliu, and it was all up to Wei Zi to disperse his wealth as military funds.

Ren Jun is the strong man of Zhongmu County, after Dong Zhuo's chaos, Ren Jun persuaded Zhongmu County to order Yang Yuan to seriously govern the county and prevent civil unrest. When he heard that Cao Cao had recruited troops to oppose Dong in the Chenliu area, he recruited hundreds of soldiers from the clan to join Cao Cao, and this courage and determination that far exceeded ordinary people alone were admirable.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked: "I have made an appointment with Bao Yuncheng, the general of the Broken Captives, and tomorrow we will jointly send troops to Bianshui to engage Guo Yan of the Dong Thief Pioneer Department, what can you do to break the enemy?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, there is no good advice.

Weizi opened his mouth and said: "If it is about leading troops to fight, only Meng De knows this way, and we are all willing to look forward to your horse's head!" ”

Weiz's words tell the truth. Don't look at Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others in the future, but now they have just debuted, compared with Cao Cao, who once led troops to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, the gap is not a star and a half, but several streets.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, for some reason, Cao Cao suddenly thought of the light cavalry of Lu Bu who had been seen in Quyuju, if he also had such brave generals and troops under his command, how good it would be!

Relying on fantasy can't solve any problems, Cao Cao still assigned the tasks to everyone in the account in detail according to the number of troops on both sides and the characteristics of the terrain, and asked everyone not to put their lives into it if they can't beat the enemy.

Cao Cao told everyone not to work hard, which sounded a little discouraged, but it was an extremely wise decision. The purpose of sending troops this time was not whether he would be able to win, but to stimulate the Kwantung Coalition Army to abandon the bad habit of drinking and talking about it through practical actions, and really put his mind on dealing with Dong Zhuo's army.

With his only 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 3,000 people of the Bao Xin brothers, how could he defeat Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Xiliang army?
