After Liu Bei sat on the withered straw mat, the farce in the eyes of the princes was over, and everyone on the stage quieted down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Cao swept the hall and found that everyone was waiting for Yuan Shao to speak, but although Yuan Shao was sitting seriously, he didn't mean to speak at all. The corners of Cao Cao's mouth raised and said: "Duke Yuan, everyone, although Dong Zhuo is a ****, but nominally he is the face of the Han family. ”

The words fell, and all the princes responded to Cao Cao's words. Although the Han family has come to an end, it is still the Han Dynasty, and the princes still have to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch with people's hearts on their backs.

An Yi listened, and secretly said in his heart: The key point is here!

"What we lack now is an edict from the Son of Heaven, why? If we lead the army into the customs without the edict of the Son of Heaven, then we will not become a rebel army? Isn't it as unethical as Dong Zhuo? After speaking, Cao Cao was still as good as before, smiling rather than smiling.

An Yi observed that the corners of Cao Cao's eyes were extremely wrinkled, and Fan Le's memory seemed to tell him that Cao Cao's smile was pretending at this moment, and he was actually quite apprehensive in his heart.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao interjected at the right time: "But the Son of Heaven is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, and he can't give us an edict." ”

"Before I left Luoyang, the Son of Heaven personally granted me a secret edict to edict the heroes of the world to enter the king of Beijing and Qin, and eliminate thieves and help the country!" As he spoke, Cao Cao took an edict from Cao Hong's hand behind him, stood up at the same time, walked to the middle of the handsome platform, and said loudly: "The princes of the eighteen towns, take the edict!" ”

Hearing this, together with Yuan Shao, they all walked off the stage quickly and bowed down with the others. Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared, so far, he can be regarded as truly relieved.

"The thief Dong Zhuo, usurped the court, defiled the court, mutilated the living beings, calamified the country and killed the king, wept bloody edicts, edicted the heroes of the world to lead the righteous army into the king of Beijing Qin, cleared the world, swept away the traitors, and prospered the Han 。。。。"

Before Cao Cao finished reading it, Yuan Shu said lightly: "There is something wrong with this edict... ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao had no fear.

"The Son of Heaven is young, and he was detained in the deep palace by Dong Zhuo, how could he know us and others, and write an edict for me to wait for King Qin?" The rat whiskers on Yuan Shu's mouth shook, and there was a way.

Who knew that Cao Cao came up and said: "General Highway is right, the Son of Heaven is nine years old, how can he write such a magnificent edict?" This edict was drafted by me, Cao Cao, for the Son of Heaven! ”

As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the princes in the hall laughed and stood up one after another.

"Hahaha, pretentious?"

"Yes, Mengde's move is really naïve, haha."

Even Liu Bei stood up with a little disappointment.

But Cao Cao didn't move half a minute, but asked Yuan Shaodao: "Highway General, since Dong Zhuo can detain the Son of Heaven in the deep palace and treat it as nothing, then why can't we use it for us?" Speaking of this, it is inevitable that some people who still have a little affection for the Han family are quite uncomfortable, especially Liu Bei, Cao Cao rolled his eyes and continued: "Besides, which edict in Cao's hand is not something that the Son of Heaven wants to say but dare not say?" Although this edict is false, it is more true than true! If this edict is published in the world, it will inevitably rise up and the thieves will be terrified! ”

These princes were not fools, and when Cao Cao said this, they already understood what Cao Cao meant. It was precisely because of this incident that Cao Cao tasted the benefits that he understood that although the Son of Heaven was at the end, it was very useful. So the idea of Cao Cao coercing the Son of Heaven in later generations to order the princes was born. It's just that among the princes present, there are only two people who think of this layer, one is Cao Cao himself, who later coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the other is Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan's father---!

At this point, An Yi finally understood why Cao Cao only brought 5,000 people but dared to come to the alliance. Because the importance of this edict of the Son of Heaven is comparable to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if there is no such edict, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will casually write an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven to beg for thieves, and the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao and others will be classified as a chaotic party. If this battle is completed, Cao Cao's interests may not be less than that of any prince, and he may even be the first to take the lead.

At this time, the arrogant Yuan Shu, who had always looked at no one and was unhappy, couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, good, people say that Cao Mengde is a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor in troubled times, but now it seems that it is really true." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes laughed, and they acquiesced to Cao Cao's words, and turned the page.

Cao Cao naturally understood, and also laughed and said: "I, not only did I prepare an edict for the Son of Heaven, but I also prepared a strategy for the thief." Before leaving Luoyang, I had been succumbing to the thief for more than half a year, and in the past half a year, I had already figured out the military strength, food supply, and strength and weakness of the Xiliang Army. Guys, please take a look. ”

Cao Cao pointed behind him, and someone had already brought up a large military board, which was densely painted with terrain of various colors, representing plains and rivers. But Cao Cao said unhurriedly: "But before the analysis, I want to invite someone to come up, this person knows no less about the situation of the Xiliang Army than me." This person not only collected the intelligence of the Xiliang Army for me, but also escaped from Luoyang after my assassination was exposed. This person is Mr. Fan Le! ”

The shadow of the flower fell, and everyone's eyes fell on An Yi in the direction Cao Cao pointed.

In fact, when Cao Cao was halfway through speaking, An Yi knew that Cao Cao was talking about himself, but he didn't expect why he pulled himself out, so he could only stubbornly say: "Lord Cao praised it falsely." The adult stabbed Dong Yiju, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring, but when others asked, the adult humbly said that he had not made any contributions, so what is the suggestion for the adult? ”

As far as An Yi's current feeling is concerned, he really doesn't want to put himself in front of everyone, after all, the people under him now are just some mountain bandits, and if he says it, the princes here and himself are probably still hostile. However, since he wants to compete with these princes in this troubled era, it may not be a good thing to see familiar faces among the princes early.

"Ang, Mr. Fan, don't be modest, you might as well tell everyone about the strategy of begging thieves. Thinking about it, Mr. Fan must have a more comprehensive strategy. Cao Cao waved his hand.

Although this strategy for currying thieves was discussed between Fan Le and Cao Cao, An Yi could recall most of it, and with the art of war taught to him by Sima Hui, he really had some new views.

Since you have to mix your face, you can't hide it over there.

An Yi made up his mind and no longer shirked, and said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

But just as he was leaving, he heard the sound of war drums outside the city. At this time, in the open land in front of the city gate, only one person rode a horse to the gate, and shouted at the city gate: "Well, the boy in the city listen to me." I am the former general Hua Xiong, and I came to beg for a thief on the order of Xiangguo, if anyone can take the head of Cao Cao's dog thief down, I can spare you from death! ”

At the same time, a herald rushed into the platform from outside the tent and said, "Report! Report! Dong Zhuo's former general, Hua Xiong, with the Xiliang army, said that he was going to crusade against Cao Cao, and he was shouting and scolding in front of the pass! ”

Huaxiong?

Hearing this, the corners of An Yi's mouth secretly raised.

is another short-lived ghost, the story of Guan Gong's wine and beheading Huaxiong has long been a household name, but poor that Huaxiong is going to die here today.

Hearing someone scolding in front of the pass, Yuan Shao immediately responded: "Who is this Huaxiong? ”

Cao Cao replied quietly: "This person should not be underestimated, he is a person from Guanxi, known as the fourth fierce general under Dong Zhuo. ”

Yuan Shu was a little unconvinced: "The fourth fierce general? So who are the first three? ”

"The first is Lu Bu, the second is Li Dao, the third is Guo Yan, and the fourth member is this Huaxiong." Cao Cao's words were very bland, but when it came to Yuan Shu's ears, he always felt a little excited.

After understanding the general situation, Yuan Shao looked back at the princes present and said cautiously: "Everyone! As soon as we met the alliance, Dong Zhuo sent someone to call Guan, and this battle was the first battle between my alliance and Dong Zhuo! Therefore, this battle must be made meritorious service to show the power of our ally, I don't know which general is willing to go?! ”

The words fell, and behind Liu Bei, Guan Yu, who had not spoken, suddenly moved, and was about to ask for his life. Seeing this, An Yi hurriedly made a move to stop him, but who knew that Liu Bei had already stopped Guan Yu before he stepped out!
