"Now there are few soldiers in Luoyang City, it is impossible to defend, but the only way to do this is to move the Tiger Prison Pass to avoid Dong Zhuo's edge for the time being, there are still 30,000 soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Tiger Prison Xiongguan is difficult to overcome, and then gather the soldiers and horses from all over the country to discuss Dong Zhuo." Cao Cao said.

Liu Meng also understood that this could only be the case, although Dong Zhuo was powerful, but if Yuan Shao and others succeeded in collecting the soldiers outside the city before, with the solidity of Luoyang City and a large number of city defense materials in the city, Dong Zhuo's army would definitely be able to be stopped, but now there are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and it will not be able to hold it anyway. The two led the army back to the palace and asked the young emperor to move the tiger prison.

The young emperor was frightened by the rebellion in the palace, and now he has not come to his senses and is even more at a loss when he learns that Dong Zhuo is leading a large army, and he is hesitant to move the car.

He said: "The two commanders, this matter is very important, why don't you gather all the ministers to discuss it tomorrow?" ”

Liu Meng and Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw the young emperor they were desperately guarding like this.

Cao Cao thought that he had always wanted to assist Ming Jun to revive the Han family's ideal, was it wrong, so that the emperor could really make the country rich and the people strong? If the country is not rich and the people are not strong, how to complete his expansion for the country, and do the things that Wei Qinghuo is sick of, the sage Yun "If you have the ambition of Yiyin, you can, and if you don't have the ambition of Yiyin, you can usurp it" I Cao Cao wants to support the Han family instead of a certain emperor, and now the saint is weak, why not raise troops to achieve great things. Thinking of this, Cao Cao had the intention to go.

And Liu Meng shook his head secretly, no wonder Emperor Ling had always disliked this young emperor during his lifetime, this person was not a suitable candidate to be an emperor at all.

The two of them couldn't forcibly take the young emperor away, so they had no choice but to retreat.

On the court the next day, as soon as Liu Meng and Cao Cao put forward the idea of letting the saint move to the tiger prison, the entire hall was fried.

Because the ten permanent servants had dismissed many upright officials before, and then He Jin led foreign troops into Beijing to dissuade most of the ministers from dissuading them. Nowadays, most of the remaining people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are also a few upright and loyal officials, such as Taiwei Yang Biao, Shang Shu, Ding Guan and others.

Those ministers were afraid of Dong Zhuo's army, and in order to protect themselves, they all said that Dong Zhuo was He Jin who introduced the Beijing division to kill the eunuchs, and now the eunuchs have been removed from the holy edict to reward him, and Dong Zhuo retreated.

Yang Biao and others said that Dong Zhuo had the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he should follow the move to the tiger prison and then gather all the soldiers and horses to discuss Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

The young emperor listened to it for a long time, and his cowardly personality naturally did not dare to fight against Dong Zhuo, so he listened to the words of those ministers and issued an edict to reward Dong Zhuo.

In the midst of the shouting of the Holy Ming, those loyal to the Han family were completely disappointed.

Out of the main hall, Cao Cao took Liu Meng to his house to drink.

Cao Cao drank a few glasses of wine and said drunkenly: "Fengyi, since I was raised to filial piety at the age of twenty, I have been determined to support the Han family, make the country rich and the people strong, do the things that Wei Qinghuo is sick, deter foreigners, and expand the territory for the country, but now Cao Cao is thirty-four years old, and he has lived for more than ten years without any achievements. Now that the saint is weak, he actually wants to send Dong Zhuo back with a reward, Dong Zhuo will definitely refuse to retreat, the Han family is in danger, I want to return to my hometown to raise troops to invite all the princes to fight Dong Zhuo together, and do the things of Yiyin. ”

Liu Meng didn't expect Cao Cao to say this, but he also understood Cao Cao's thoughts, the ideal was brutally defeated by reality, Liu Meng was even more touched when he heard Cao Cao say that he wanted to do Yi Yin's thing, no matter what Cao Cao thought in history, but now Cao Cao's loyalty to the Han family in front of him made him admire. He also felt a pity, he befriended Cao Cao and wanted to realize his ideals with Cao Cao, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to have the intention of self-reliance as in history, so that there would inevitably be a war between the two in the future, which is not what Liu Meng wanted to see.

"Brother is righteous, just like everyone in the court is like a brother, and the prosperous era is not far away."

"Fengyi, are you willing to help your brother?"

This, Liu Meng was embarrassed, although he admired Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had the same ambition as him, but the system on his body became the biggest obstacle for him to take refuge in others, this system must be loyal to his generals to have attributes and skills, in order to have a general guard, no matter how generous the monarch is, it is impossible for his subordinates to be loyal to him Liu Meng, right? Okay, even if Liu Meng gave up this role, what about summoning soldiers and horses with killing intent points? This function is terrible in the eyes of any monarch, and who would dare to use it for a subordinate who can summon soldiers and horses at any time.

Therefore, Liu Meng is destined to be impossible to assist anyone, he is keen to defend the Han family is also for him to be famous, not loyal to the emperor, which of the meritorious masters since ancient times has died well? Although he just wants the world to be peaceful, the country to be strong and the people to be rich, and not to let the tragedy of the five chaos happen again, he is just working hard for this goal. But if Liu Meng can level the world one day, there must be only one way to stand on his own, otherwise even if he wants to retire and retire to seclusion or something, the people in power will not let him go, of course he doesn't want to die.

"Brother, I really have something unspeakable, I can't follow it, but if one day my brother goes to a different race, I will definitely go with him."

Cao Cao was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Meng to refuse, because he felt that Liu Meng had the same ideals as him.

"Fengyi, since you are willing to fight with me against foreign races, why don't you want to fight with me against Dong Zhuo and help the Han family together?"

Liu Meng just shook his head and stopped talking, of course he couldn't say that even if the two were enemies in the future, if Cao Cao led the troops on an expedition to a foreign race, he Liu Meng would definitely lead the troops to help the war, but with him, Liu Meng would not be able to do it.

Seeing this, Cao Cao also knew that he couldn't do anything, so he didn't say anything about it anymore. The two knew that they didn't know when they would be able to get together again to drink after this time, so they drank one glass after another, and they were both drunk.

The next day, Cao Cao resigned and returned to Chen, and Liu Meng went alone to see him off before leaving.

"The last time I saw my brother was injured by Dong Zhuo's bow and arrow, this armor was obtained by me in Heng Mountain, called Xuanwu Treasure Armor, the defense is extremely strong, ordinary knives, guns and arrows are difficult to hurt, I gave it to my brother, and my brother needs to pay attention to his own safety when he goes." After Liu Meng got the Xuanwu armor, he didn't think about who to use it, but now he admired Cao Cao's actions and gave him this armor.

Cao Cao took it and said: "Sure enough, it's not a mortal thing, thank you Fengyi, you and I will leave it for the time being, I will regret it for a while." With that, he patted his horse and left.

"Now that I'm alone, how can I face Dong Zhuo's army?" Liu Meng sighed. Liu Meng just sighed, and suddenly remembered Cao Cao's previous suggestion, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

When Liu Meng returned to his residence, he summoned Dian Wei and the others to discuss.

"Dong Zhuo will definitely not retreat peacefully, now that the city of Luoyang heard that Dong Zhuo's army was coming, they didn't dare to resist, we were alone, so I plan to leave here."

"Second brother, where are we going, are we going to Xiangyang?" Ren Xiu'er said.
