"The child will definitely live up to his father's expectations, and the child will definitely do his best to make Chen Liucao's family famous all over the world!" Cao Ying took the patriarch token symbolizing the Chen Liucao family with a firm face.

"Hehehe, my son Apo has been superior to ordinary people since he was a child. I believe that no matter what happens in the future, the Chen Liucao clan will definitely rise in your hands! Cao Song said with great certainty.

"By the way, my father just said that we have gathered thousands of people, so how many people are there?" Cao Ying attaches great importance to this group of soldiers, because these soldiers are his Cao Ying's starting soldiers, and their strength and strength will determine their status in the future when they crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"Well, this matter is the responsibility of your clan disciple Xiao, if you want to know the details, you can ask him." Cao Song pulled a young man behind him over and said.

"It turned out to be Zixiao, tell me how many soldiers you recruited this time?" Cao Ying knows himself very well as a brother who has played since he was a child, and he has been fond of bow and horse martial arts since he was a child, and he is also very interested in the military books he often watches.

"Report to my eldest brother, I have recruited four thousand eight hundred and twenty-six people with the money my uncle gave me. I also provided them with 3,000 spears and 1,000 swords, but I didn't build them because they were too expensive to build. "Cao Ren knows all about the combat power under his command.

"Do you already have nearly 5,000 soldiers?" Cao Ying touched the short beard that he had grown up not long ago and thought about it, and suddenly Cao Ying's eyes flashed a sharp mang and said, "How many families does the rich Wei Hong family in this city have?" ”

"Well, as far as I know, he probably has hundreds of family members." Cao Ren didn't expect Cao Ying to suddenly ask about this, and only after thinking about it for a while did he answer Cao Ying.

"Good! Cao Ren, you go and send someone to inform Wei Hong to come to my Cao Mansion tomorrow to narrate, and if he doesn't come, you will take our sergeant to 'invite' him!" "Cao Ying said the word 'please' very seriously.

After Cao Ren received Cao Ying's order, he suddenly showed a wicked smile and said, "Don't worry, eldest brother, if he doesn't come, I will definitely bring someone to personally 'invite' him to come." ”

Second, Wei Hong, who was very wealthy and famous in Chenliu County and was promoted by the county order, was dragged and dragged by Cao Ren and several majestic Cao soldiers to Cao Ying's mansion.

"Cao Song! You are also a famous family, how can you be so arrogant? "Wei Hong didn't know that the head of the Cao family had now been changed to Cao Ying.

"Mr. Wei, Cao Ying has been waiting here for a long time." Cao Yinggong stood at the door of the hall and said with a smile.

Wei Hong glanced at Cao Ying and said in surprise: "Hey, Cao Ying, you actually came back?" Wasn't it rumored some time ago that you were caught in Zhongmu County? ”

Hearing this, Cao Ying remembered Chen Gong who parted ways with him, so Cao Ying smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "I, Cao Yingfu, have a great life to escape from Zhongmu County with the help of nobles, so let's go in and talk now." ”

Wei Hong had a lot of friendship with Cao Ying's father Cao Song, so he didn't care about the embarrassment when he was 'invited', and followed Cao Ying directly to the study in the house.

After Cao Ying and Wei Hong took their seats as guests, Wei Hong took the lead in speaking: "Your father has always been gentle and elegant, and it must be your Cao Ying's Cao Mengde's idea to 'invite' me in this way." ”

"Hahaha, today's incident is caused by urgency, and the rudeness is still due to Haihan." Cao Ying saw that Dao Weihong was not angry, so he sincerely apologized to him.

"That's it, I and Ling Zun are also close friends, can you tell me if there is any urgent matter that you need my help with?" Wei Hong knew that he was going to get to the point, so he didn't dwell on these little things.

Cao Ying said solemnly: "Today, the Han family has no owner, Dong Zhuo openly controls the government, bullying the monarch from above, and doing things that harm the people, which really makes the world gnash his teeth." I want to help the community, but I don't have enough hatred. Mr. Cao knows that Mr. Wei is a loyal and righteous man, so he dares to ask Mr. to help me! ”

After listening to Cao Ying's words, Wei Hong laughed and said: "I have long had the intention to sponsor people to eliminate Dong Thief, but I have never met a hero. Now that Cao Ying has the heart to get rid of the thief, I, Wei Hong, am willing to do my best to help. ”

Cao Ying was overjoyed, and after getting this huge amount of money from Wei Hong, he first sent someone to Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu in Bohai to send the edict, and then spread the edict to various prefectures and counties near Chenliu. Then Cao Ying sent Cao Ren to vigorously recruit soldiers and generals near Chenliu. It didn't take long for the time to say that there were Yangping patriots, surnamed Le, named Jin, and Qianqian. Shanyang Julu people, surnamed Li, dictionary, word Mancheng, came together to vote for Cao Ying. In addition to the generals such as Le Jin and Li Dian, there was also Yingchuan resourceful man Xi Zhicai came to meet Cao Ying, Cao Ying and Xi Zhicai talked for a night, and realized that Xi Zhicai was a rare genius, and immediately enshrined Xi Zhicai as his military advisor to show respect.

And what made Cao Ying happiest was the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan who brought thousands of cavalry to meet him. Pei Guo is a person named Xiahou Xuan, the character Yuan Jean, is after Xiahou Ying; Since childhood, he has learned to use guns and sticks; At the age of fourteen, he learned martial arts from his teacher, and some people insulted his teacher, and Xiahoudun assassinated him, and died in the frontier outside the Saiwai. After hearing the news of Cao Ying's army, Xiahoudun and his brother Xiahou Yuan brought thousands of elite warriors to the meeting. Cao Ying looked at the majestic thousands of iron horses in front of him, and his heart was suddenly full of pride. Because he has always been envious of Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, now that he finally has his own cavalry, how can Cao Ying not be excited? And Cao Ying's father was originally surnamed Xiahou, and later passed on to Cao Ying's grandfather Cao Teng. Really speaking, Cao Ying's relationship with the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan is closer.

Over there, the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were in the limelight in front of Cao Ying, and Cao Ren, who was responsible for recruiting troops and horses with Cao Yingde's huge funds from self-defense Hong, was not to be outdone. He took his younger brother Cao Hong to various villages near Chen Liucheng, and selected more than 10,000 young soldiers. Through his own connections, he customized a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor from Nanyang, the blacksmith capital of the Han Dynasty. At this point, Cao Ying's power has basically matured, and the total number of soldiers recruited before and after several times is more than 23,000. Among them were 3,000 iron horsemen from the bitter cold land of the frontier, as well as 8,000 well-equipped pikemen and 7,000 sword and shield soldiers. Finally, there were the 3,000 crossbowmen and 2,000 halberd soldiers that Cao Ren had finally equipped.

On this side, Cao Ying has gradually become stronger, and Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, who got Cao Ying's edict, personally brought dozens of civil and military officials under his command and more than 30,000 pro-Bohai soldiers to join forces with Cao Ying. After Yuan Shao arrived, Cao Ying personally wrote a copy of the document to ask for thieves, and sent people to copy many copies of the document and distribute it to various states and counties in the eastern part of the country.

The text is as follows: "I would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the heavens and the earth, destroyed the country and killed the king; Messing with the palace ban and mutilating living beings; Wolves are unkind, and sins are accumulated! Today, under the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, a large number of volunteers were gathered, vowing to sweep away China and kill the murderers. Wangxing righteous teachers, venting public anger; Support the royal family and save the people. The text is said to be carried out quickly! ”

And the princes from all walks of life who received the letter begging for thieves also began to gather in the direction of Chen Liu with their soldiers. The first town, the later general Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu. The second town, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu. The third town, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kongling. The fourth town, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai. The fifth town, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang. In the sixth town, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao. The seventh town, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao. The eighth town, Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan. The ninth town, Jibei Xiang Baoxin. The tenth town, Beihai Taishou Kongrong. The eleventh town, Guangling is too guarded by Zhang Chao. The twelfth town, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. The thirteenth town, Xiliang is too shou Ma Teng. The fourteenth town, Youzhou Thorn Shi Gongsun Zhan. The fifteenth town, Zhang Yang, the empress dowager of the party. The sixteenth town, Wucheng Hou Changsha guarded Sun Jian. The seventeenth town, Hou Bohai of Qi Township, guarded Yuan Shao. The army and horses of all roads ranged from 30,000 to 120,000, and they all came to the alliance with civil and military generals.

However, some of the princes in this have a very close relationship with Lu Bu, once they encounter Lu Bu's army, let alone fight, it is a blessing for the coalition to be able to help each other and remain neutral. The first is Gongsun Zhan, a white horse general who has a close friendship with Lu Bu and relies on Lu Bu's help to sit on the throne of Youzhou Thorn History. The other is Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang, who has been controlled by Lu Bu's army, he is now half of Lu Bu's subordinate, and the reason why he can come to participate in this coalition meeting to defeat Dong Zhuo is that Tian Feng, who is sitting in Bingzhou, wants to find out the details of the alliance of the princes. It was absolutely impossible for these two people to be enemies of Lü Bu's merger army.

Counting the people of Cao Ying's own town, the eighteen-way princes in history are finally complete. But how long will they be able to sustain this fragile alliance? Time will tell

ps: The princes of the Eighteenth Road have officially started to discuss Dong! Let's brush up the tickets and collect them (*^__^*).
