Faced with this embarrassing situation, Cao Cao, who was the first to raise troops, stepped forward and fought a round for the two sisters-in-law of the Yuan family.

Cao Cao proposed that the later general Yuan Shu was diligent in the affairs of the king and was willing to contribute to the courtship of Dong, which was a great good thing, and he should become the deputy leader of the alliance, lead an army in the southern region, and act cheaply on his own according to the battle situation on the southern front.

However, as a quid pro quo for this status, Yuan Shu had to recognize Yuan Shao's status as the leader of the alliance in this meeting.

Cao Cao is good friends with Yuan Shao, but the relationship with Yuan Shu is not too bad. With Cao Cao's lust and the common language between Yuan Shu, it is quite a lot. It can be said that Cao Cao followed Yuan Shao politically and introduced Yuan Shu as a partner in life, and he was a peacemaker between the two.

Moreover, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, also served as a lieutenant, and in terms of status, he was just a little worse than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. He opened his mouth to speak, and others looked at the Cao family, and they also had to give some face from the prestige accumulated in the court during the Cao Teng era.

Although Yuan Shu thinks highly of himself, he is very good at looking at style. Yuan Shao's rise is unstoppable. If the trouble continues, the rest of the princes may not be so face-saving. Seeing that his basic purpose was agreed, it was naturally inconvenient for him to make more provocations on Yuan Shao's home field. As a result, Yuan Shu readily agreed to Cao Cao's condition that "Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance".

Seeing the two sisters-in-law of the Yuan clan and reaching an agreement on the level of status, the princes from all walks of life were secretly relieved. Although Yuan Shu is stubborn, after all, he has integrated the strength of the Yuan family in his hometown. No matter how bad his combat effectiveness is, as long as he is in the Nanyang area of Runan, he can always disperse a lot of Dong Zhuo's troops, right?

After solving the disputes within the Yuan family, Cao Cao showed his face. Next, in order to reflect the nobility of Yuan Shao's status as the leader of the alliance, and also to support his friend Yuan Shao. Cao Cao, who currently does not have an official position, also boldly proposed that out of the need to strengthen our momentum, Yuan Shao can call himself "General Che Cai" to the outside world. In this way, not only did the coalition army not feel inferior when facing Dong Zhuo's position of "Xiangguo". It is also convenient for himself to obtain a sufficient position to send troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"Che Cavalry General" ranked third among the generals of the Han Dynasty, second only to the "Great General" and "Hussar General", with the rank of ten thousand stones, gold seal and purple ribbon, and the status was equivalent to the Three Dukes, and the title of "Great Sima" could often be added.

This official position was in charge of important military operations such as the Han Siyi Tun Police, the Beijing Division Guard, and the conquest and betrayal, when there were no generals and hussar generals in the court. He was the first person in the imperial army.

After Yuan Shao called himself the "general of the chariot cavalry", he "naturally" obtained the qualification to attack the "rebel army". Therefore, from a legal point of view, Dong Zhuo, who also calls himself "Xiangguo", cannot form a psychological advantage over Yuan Shao's "Che Cavalry General". This is very helpful for the collective discussion of the great cause of the Kwantung princes.

Such a valuable high position in the court was granted to others by Cao Cao, a white body who was on the run. This is an absurd practice in the imperial system. It actually provoked the princes attending the meeting to bow their heads and think deeply. From this point of view, I don't know the hat of the Han rebellion. Which one should be more qualified to wear it?

Regarding Cao Cao's proposal, Yuan Shu had to pinch his nose and agree because he had given himself enough face in front. Although the rest of the state and county officials were secretly unwilling, they didn't want to have a bad relationship with a strongman like Yuan Shao, so they all agreed.

Since the participants are willing to admit it, the fresh and hot man "Che Cavalry General" Yuan Shao. Even if he takes office. Although only some states and counties will recognize Yuan Shao's official position, compared to Dong Zhuo's position of "Xiangguo", Yuan Shao's status is not too much.

Next, for some of the details between the alliances. In line with the principle of "the Han is one family", the state and county officials quickly passed. Anyway, the activities of the Dong Dynasty do not consume their own resources and troops, and of course the princes are also happy to be generous.

No one could have imagined that since then, Dahan would have no peace. All the state and county officials are still sitting and driving away Dong Zhuo and entering the court. Since the purpose of the future is to enter the court, what does the little consumption in the prefectures and counties have to do with the princes? If there is a shortfall in money and food, let the successor slowly fill it up.

In this way, the alliance activities of the princes in the sour jujube can be called a successful holding and a smooth end. After such an alliance, everyone unified their understanding of Dong Dong and determined the main direction of the march. As for whether the various schemes in the alliance can be realized, that is another matter.

After the alliance, Yuan Shao, who jumped from a 2,000-stone Taishou to a 10,000-stone chariot general, was very grateful to Cao Cao's help. He is also a good man, and when he turned around, he reciprocated by appointing Cao Cao, who currently does not have any official official position, as the "general of Xingfenwu".

The word "line" in the so-called "line" and "general Fenwu" is the meaning of temporary agency. The preciousness of the title of "general" in the Han Dynasty is not as bad as that of later generations. Even if he is only a temporary general, his status is higher than that of a lieutenant. Cao Cao also took advantage of Yuan Shao's east wind to once again have the qualifications to rank alongside the two thousand stone officials of the state and county.

Of course, as the price of accepting the title of "General Fenwu", Cao Cao became a backbone member of Yuan Shao's family in the eyes of other state and county officials, and the relationship between him and Yuan Shao was not only an alliance, but also a master-slave.

Cao Cao didn't mind this. Anyway, it wasn't a matter of a day or two for him to follow Yuan Shao. Even when Cao Cao ran out of Luoyang City, he was influenced by Yuan Shao to make his trip.

The successful holding of the "Sour Jujube Alliance" was another heavy blow to Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo finished reading the oath of the alliance drafted by Zang Hong, a famous scholar in Guangling, he angrily pulled out the seven-star treasure knife on his waist on the spot, and slashed the case in front of him in two paragraphs!

"The Han family is unfortunate, the emperor is out of control, the thief Dong Zhuo takes advantage of the provocation and indulgence, the disaster is supreme, the people are abused, and the great fear of losing the society will cover the four seas. Che cavalry general Shao, Hou General Shu, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Dai, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Ling, Chen Liutai Shou Miao, Dongjun Tai Shou Mao, Guangling Tai Shouchao, Xing Fenwu General Cao, etc., entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. ”

"Whoever is in alliance with all my heart and soul will work together, so that the ministers will be on the festival and the head will be lost, and there will be no two ambitions. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”

Lang Zhongling, who was serving on the side, waited for Dong Zhuo's anger to calm down, picked up the oath of the alliance from the ground, and read it in a low voice, and his face couldn't help but turn red with anger. However, he quickly came back to his senses and said to his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo:

"Why should the father-in-law be angry? This kind of high-minded talk, boasting about the withered and boasting of the generation, is just a powerful mouth. If you want to use soldiers, these jumping clowns, except for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who have a little to worry about, the rest are grass mustard. I thought that the priority at the moment was not to deal with the Kwantung coalition, but to deal with the enemy in the west. ”

When others hear the so-called "enemy of the West", most of them will think that it refers to the Xiqiang rebels led by Han Sui and Ma Teng. It's just that Dong Zhuo, as the supreme head of the military and political power in Luoyang City, of course knows that the "enemy of the West" in Li Ru's mouth refers to a figure that has nothing to do with Han Sui and his ilk, but is a famous Han general. The man was:

- General Zuo Huangfu Song.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's anger at the beginning, Li Ru secretly sighed for a long time because of a woman and made a feud with Huangfu Song, the "No. 1 General of the Han Dynasty". A good in-law turned out to be an enemy, why bother?

Li Ru didn't mind that there was suddenly an extra mother-in-law on his head. Speaking of which, proposing to the Ma family is still the candidate proposed by him Li Ru behind his back for Huangfu Song. If he can marry Huangfu Gui's wife, Ma, it will be very helpful for Dong Zhuo to win over the Si Lihao family, and it can also slightly weaken the prestige of the Huangfu clan, and it can also make the Huangfu clan have nothing to say.

Even if Ma resolutely disagrees, even if he refuses sternly, it is not a big deal for his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, and it is not much shame. If Dong Zhuo takes the opportunity to reward Ma with a title, he will also be able to leave a good story between the government and the opposition. This is very helpful in shaping the image of a series of officials in Liangzhou.

However, Dong Zhuo's anger for a while made the entire plan about this matter out of control.

This matter, no matter how you say it, Dong Zhuo is wrong. In the Han Dynasty, "martyrdom and filial piety" were advocated, and the wife of the emperor Fu Gui no longer married, which was enough to be evaluated by people as the title of a "martyr". And those who persecute and kill the martyrs, of course, will not get any good reputation in the world.

Even the Liangzhou soldiers under Dong Zhuo mostly regretted the leader's impulsiveness when they talked about this matter in private. It is said that after getting drunk once, the school captain Li Wei said to his friends Guo Yan and Fan Chou that if he had a favorite woman, he would never move a finger from her. If she is not willing to marry her, he should respect her wishes and treat her well. ①

Cronies such as Li Dao still have such views, and other opinions that have nothing to do with idlers can be known from this. The reason why Cao Cao was arrested by Dong Zhuo in anger at the beginning, so that in desperation, he had to plan to fight Dong, why wasn't he affected by this incident?

The Huangfu family has been a general for generations, especially in recent decades, and there have been two first-class handsome talents, Huangfu Gui and Huangfu Song. This kind of performance can be called the first goalkeeper of Dahan at present. As a result, the prestige of the Huangfu clan among the soldiers of the Han army is not ordinarily high. Even Dong Zhuo's subordinates, once they talked about the possibility of confronting this famous general, most of them immediately kept silent.

Moreover, when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, in order to prevent Han Sui, Ma Teng and other rebels from attacking the Sili area again, the imperial court dispatched 30,000 troops to Huangfu Song!

With Huangfu Song's military methods, with these 30,000 people in the hands of Huangfu Song, Dong Zhuo has no confidence at all, and he can solve this stinger rooted in his back by force. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) Li Dao's romantic anecdotes:

Tang Ji was the concubine of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnonghuai. After Liu Wei's death, Tang Ji returned to her hometown of Yingchuan, and her father would have guarded Tang Mao and wanted to marry her, but Tang Ji would rather die than agree. When the Xiliang warlord Li Ji broke through Chang'an, confiscated the Kanto region, got Tang Ji, and wanted to marry her, Tang Ji insisted, and Li Ji finally did not marry Tang Ji and sent him home.

It can be seen that Li Dao is also a very decent man. The reason why his image is so unbearable in historical records is actually just a manifestation of "success and defeat".
