After Cao Cao and Lu Rui returned to Chenliu, it was the Spring Festival, and the clansmen of the Cao family and the Xiahou family were all in the Cao family in Qian County, ready to celebrate the Spring Festival, but due to the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to control the imperial court, and the Cao family had a hard time this Spring Festival! For other families, the change of the court is not a big deal, but for the Cao family, the stability of the court is the biggest backer of the Cao family, if the political situation is unstable, the wealth of the Cao family will be in danger, in the hall of the Cao family, a group of people are sitting in their respective positions, with heavy expressions.

The children of the Cao family were all around their respective mothers, playing with the toys in their hands, blinking from time to time, looking at the people around them, not knowing what was going on. Lu Rui also made a seat, the first seat on the right under the main seat, Hou Ye, he has to be treated like Hou Ye!

Cao Song fought his big belly on the main seat, then looked at everyone and asked, "Why, Yuan Rang hasn't come yet?" ”

As soon as Cao Cao was about to reply, Xiahoudun broke in, wiped his sweat and said, "Uncle Cao, eldest brother, I'm here!" ”

Cao Song saw Xiahoudun, nodded, and said, "Okay, Yuan Rang is here, everyone is here, take a break, call the people out, and we'll let it start." The butler nodded, waved his hand, and began to clean up the people.

Xiahoudun saw that Cao Cao actually had a few scars on his face, hehe, of course this was left by Lu Rui's whipping, and Hua Tuo would not leave scars, but it was still in the stage of dressing and recovery! Xiahoudun laughed heartily and said, "Big brother, is the scar on your face caused by Rui'er?" Rui'er, you don't look at the place to start, hehe, big brother, you won't be disfigured, right? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was bitter in his heart, grandma, he already knew that he didn't praise Rui'er, this little ghost, preaching everywhere, now the Cao family in Qian County, not the whole Qian County knows that I Cao Mengde was whipped by my adopted son, shame, shame.

Cao Song saw Cao Cao's appearance and shook his head, Meng De is still young, how can he praise children for such things? What do children know? Isn't it preaching everywhere? Young and vigorous, although he is resourceful, he is always impatient, and he wants to go out to exercise! Cao Song pressed his hands and said, "Yuan Rang, don't say it, your eldest brother is already like this, brother, let him go." ”

Xiahoudun arched his hand and replied respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Cao!" Then he sat down. Cao Song's prestige in the Cao family is still very high, and Cao Song is a Lixian corporal, so he naturally has won a lot of people's hearts. Lu Rui's evaluation of him is: round belly, scheming!

Cao Song saw that everyone was quiet, and the housekeeper had finished cleaning up. coughed a few times and began to get to the point, Cao Song said: "Everyone, now that the first emperor has passed away, Dong Zhuo is in charge of the government, and the future of my Cao family is unknown, I don't know what you think?" ”

As soon as Cao Song's words fell, Cao Cao stood up, arched his hand and said: "Father, uncles and brothers, my Cao family has been favored by three generations and the court, and now the court is in trouble, I am determined to scatter all my family wealth, raise troops and serve the king, and ask my uncles and brothers to support Meng De!" "After that, bow to everyone!

As soon as this remark came out, everyone began to discuss, and after a while, Cao Song also expressed his position and said: "What Meng De said is very true, the court is not there, and my Cao family is not rich." I am determined to use the Cao family's wealth to pull up a team and enter the king of Beijing Qin! ”

As soon as Cao Song's words fell, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan immediately stood up and said: "My two brothers are also willing to support the eldest brother and raise troops to serve the king!" ”

Lu Rui saw the two brothers expressing their attitude, and also waved the wooden sword in his hand and shouted: "Father Zhong, raise troops, Rui'er Fan County also raise troops, lead troops to help Father Zhong, kill and kill!" ”

Looking at Lu Rui, who was dancing with a wooden sword in his hand, Cao Cao picked up Lu Rui and said, "Rui'er is so good, so good!" ”

Cao Chun, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong also brought their families to express their agreement with Cao Cao's army.

Cao Song looked at the rest of the people who didn't say anything, glared at them and said, "Five-year-old children can afford to be soldiers and kings, aren't you even as good as children?" The court is not there, my Cao family is not rich! ”

When the rest of the people heard Cao Song's sentence "The court is not there, my Cao family is not rich", they all agreed with Cao Cao's army, and in this way, the Cao family of Qiaojun decided to raise troops against Dong!

After Cao Cao decided to raise troops, he took most of the money sold by the Cao family and Lu Rui to Chenliu to recruit soldiers, and the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers returned to their respective townships and began to recruit strong men.

In Chen Liu's recruitment office, Cao Cao's lieutenant was responsible for recruiting soldiers, while Lu Rui and Cao Cao gambled in the camp!

"Hehe, I've won again, Father, I've won again, ten soldiers!" Lu Rui clapped his hands happily and smiled like a flower.

Cao Cao threw the white son in his hand, lost again, and lost ten soldiers, it turned out that Lu Rui and Cao Cao were playing in Go, gambling games, Cao Cao's chips were ten soldiers in each game, and Lu Rui's chips were borrowed from Dian Wei to Cao Cao for ten days!

Cao Cao looked at Lu Rui's happy appearance, then looked at the sturdy Dian Wei next to him, and shook his head, alas, it was really a benefit that was not reaped, but it was a loss of a hundred soldiers, ten games, and a full ten games, didn't Rui'er just learn Go? Let him have ten sons, and he will lose the game, alas, it seems that Rui'er is really talented and smart, and he is so talented in chess!

Cao Cao smiled at Lu Rui, then shifted his body and said, "Rui'er, you see that you have won so many things from the middle father, this Dian Wei will borrow the middle father for three days, okay?" ”

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao and scolded in his heart: Father Zhong, can't you not be so greedy? In the future, you will be a warrior like a cloud, and you will always think about my evil, do you know that you killed the evil in history! Looking at Cao Cao's old bustard-like appearance, Lu Rui shook his head and said, "No, no, if the middle father loses, he can't borrow Dian Wei, don't lend it!" "I'm about to cry as I speak.

Cao Cao saw that the situation was not right, if Lu Rui cried, the matter would definitely spread, and what would be his face at that time? It was indecent to gamble on military generals in the military camp with his adopted son, and he lost another hundred soldiers and passed it on? No, no, this must not be had!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao licked his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Rui'er, the middle father still has something to deal with, you can go out and play." ”

Lu Rui looked at Cao Cao and cried. Cao Cao was startled by this cry, it would be bad if it attracted other people. Hurriedly helped Lu Rui wipe his face and said, "Rui'er, Rui'er, what's wrong, didn't the middle father lose?" ”

Lu Rui wiped away his tears and said in a sneer: "This, this, there is no note, middle father, what if you beat him?" Make a written note. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned, now he is still recruiting, and there are no soldiers for Lu Rui, but he has set up a note, didn't he leave a handle? Cao Cao's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he had a flash of inspiration, and wrote a note with a pen and paper, "Cao Mengde owes his adopted son Lu Rui, and the sergeant guards a hundred people." Well, that's fine, I'm not losing to Rui'er, I'm going to buy him a hundred more escort sergeants. In this way, the truth is buried, and Rui'er will not be discredited. Qi Guohou, my adoptive father sent a hundred sergeants as escorts, not too much!

Lu Rui took the note, immediately broke into a smile, and went out with the wooden sword and Dian Wei, hehe, a hundred sergeants, make a lot of money!

After half a month of recruitment, Cao Cao recruited 5,000 soldiers, and at the same time, the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers also rushed to Chenliu with the recruited army, a total of 20,000 troops, and drove to the base camp of the Kwantung coalition army.

When Cao Cao recruited soldiers in Chenliu, he also sent a letter to the world, calling on the princes of the world to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the responses were: Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei State Minister Bao Xin. A total of eleven princes gathered in sour dates and prepared to attack Dong Zhuo!

After Cao Cao came to Suojube, Yuan Shao had not yet come with the army, and Cao Cao acted as General Fenwu and received all kinds of princes in Suojube.

On this day, Cao Cao was discussing things with the princes from all walks of life, Yuan Shao led the troops to the sour date, and Cao Cao hurriedly took the princes from all walks of life to greet him.

After Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao, he laughed and said, "Originally, you are finally here, let Meng De wait!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao, and also arched his hand and said: "Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more and more energetic, Meng De invited to get rid of the world's national thieves, how could you not have it in the first place?" After saying that, Yuan Shao and the other princes greeted each other and entered the main tent.

As soon as Yuan Shao entered the main tent, he saw Cao Cao's helmet still on the main seat, and Lu Rui was playing on the side. Yuan Shao's face changed, and then he quickly recovered, Yuan Shao held Cao Cao's hand and said; "Meng De, today the world's loyal and righteous people gather here, Meng De, as the leader of the alliance, must have tried his best to assist Meng De, restore the Han Dynasty, and fight against the national thieves! Welcome back to your majesty! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, Yuan Shao thought he was the leader of the alliance? At the beginning, I still know a little bit about your character, Cao Cao arched his hand and said: "The original is serious, although Cao Cao launched the call of King Qin, but the commander of all the soldiers and horses His Majesty is a person with both talent and virtue, Cao Mengde is only a military advisor, I hope that Benchu will be the leader of the alliance and lead the loyal and righteous people in the world to crusade against the national thieves!" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was stunned, Cao Cao wanted to be the leader of the alliance himself? Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao embarrassedly, and then said, "Meng De, this, this is not very good, right?" ”

Cao Cao grabbed Yuan Shao's hand and said, "The original talent is great, and he is from the Yuan family, so he is naturally the candidate for the leader of the alliance, what do you think?" ”

The princes from all walks of life were either protégés of the Yuan family or friends of the Yuan family, and when they heard Cao Cao say this, of course they all raised their hands in approval.

Yuan Shao looked at the princes from all walks of life, and then said in the right way: "In this case, I will take over the position of the leader of the alliance at the beginning, and Meng De will be the military advisor to fight against the national thieves!" The princes from all walks of life expressed their approval of Yuan Shao's decision. Yuan Shao was very happy to see that all the princes complimented him, and then shook off his cloak and sat on the main seat, and the rest of the princes also sat down one after another after saluting.

After Cao Cao saw that everyone was seated, he handed over the seal of the commander of the alliance to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao took the seal of the handsome, sat on the main seat, was full of spirit, opened the main tent, summoned the princes and generals to gather outside, and then said: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

The princes in the audience and the generals outside the tent arched their hands one after another: "No! Alliance Leader! ”

Yuan Shao nodded, and was about to issue an order to review the three armies, what's the matter, where did the tiger talisman go? Where did the Alliance Master's Tiger Talisman go? Why not there?

The princes in the audience were waiting for Yuan Shao to issue an order, but Yuan Shao didn't move? Yuan Shao was anxiously fiddling with the desk, why was the tiger talisman missing? At this time, Yuan Shao heard the sound of the bell, and followed the sound to look over, Tiger Fu! It turned out that the tiger talisman was in Lu Rui's hands, and Lu Rui was playing with it as a toy!

Yuan Shao looked at Lu Rui, and then said with a smile: "Rui'er, quickly give the piece of copper tiger in your hand to Uncle Benchu, it belongs to Uncle Benchu." ”

Lu Rui looked at Yuan Shao, blinked his eyes and said, "Uncle Benchu, why did Rui'er get it first?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was stunned, a five-year-old child still didn't know what a tiger talisman was! Yuan Shao showed a smile and said: "Rui'er, this is the tiger talisman of the alliance leader, it is for the alliance leader, and the original uncle is now the alliance leader of the princes' alliance." ”

Lu Rui looked at Yuan Shao, began to flicker again, and said, "Really? Uncle Benchu, there is no tiger talisman written on it for your alliance leader, but it is just written in the Chinese characters of a big Han, where is the word alliance leader, you lie to me, don't give it, I like to play it. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he was depressed, what can he explain to a five-year-old child? Why is it the Alliance Master's Tiger Talisman? It was originally the tiger talisman of the alliance leader, and why? Yuan Shao looked at everyone, and everyone else looked at Yuan Shao to see how Yuan Shao solved this problem. Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Shao playfully, hehe, big brother, you're going to make a fool of yourself.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu's expression, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other princes, Yuan Shao suddenly understood in his heart, Lu Rui made a fuss, and it became a test, this test is to test his ability as the leader of the alliance, the tiger talisman is in the hands of a five-year-old child, see how you get it back, tricky, tricky, this question stumped Yuan Shao.

Looking at Lu Rui's naïve appearance, Yuan Shao was worried in his heart, and he grabbed it? No, didn't Yuan Shao tell everyone that he was a reckless man? Bullying small children? snatched it, and his troubles didn't spread quickly all over the Han? Resourcefulness, you must use your resourcefulness to make Lu Rui hand it over, so that you can convince everyone!

Yuan Shao thought for a while, took out the tiger talisman of his army from his arms, and said: "Rui'er, you see, my uncle also has a copper tiger here, which means that my uncle brought a copper tiger, so, Rui'er, hurry up and give it back to my uncle." ”

Lu Rui looked at the copper tiger in his hand, then shook his head, and said: "No, this is Rui'er's, Uncle Benchu, don't lie to Rui'er, your copper tiger is written on it is a Yuan character, of course it is Uncle Yuan Shao's things, my middle father also has a copper tiger, there is a Cao character written on it, that is my middle father's copper tiger, the copper tiger in Rui'er's hand is written Han, naturally it is not Uncle Benchu's, it is Rui'er's when it is picked up by Rui'er!" After speaking, he put it in his arms, and he didn't give Yuan Shao the appearance of death

Yuan Shao clenched his fists and looked at Lu Rui viciously, this kid, this kid is so difficult, and he also knows that the words on the bronze tiger represent the military commander. The Han Dynasty seal tiger charm is generally marked, marked by the official position or the surname of the general, Cao Cao is the princes of the alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo, Kuang Fu Han, in order to be famous, naturally engraved on the allied tiger charm Han this word, indicating Kuang Fu Han!

Just when Yuan Shao was entangled with Lu Rui, the generals outside the tent were already a little impatient, and after Yuan Shao shouted, there were no instructions, which one is this? Let everyone kneel like this? Yuan Shao, do you give an order or not! The generals outside the tent began to whisper, especially the generals who didn't know the details in the distance, they had already begun to express their anger and had a tendency to get up!

Yuan Shao looked at it, it was bad, it was messy, the first time he gave orders to the coalition forces, Yuan Shao glared at Cao Cao, and told Cao Cao in his eyes: Cao Mengde? Your adopted son? ”

Cao Cao was also helpless under the desk, this was really not done by himself, and he didn't know that Lu Rui would play the tiger talisman and make this one! Cao Cao definitely can't go out and ask Lu Rui to return it to Yuan Shao now, isn't this a slap in the face of Yuan Shao? can't even solve it with a child, how to lead the armies from all walks of life to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Cao Cao only turned his face aside, this matter is not about me Cao Mengde, originally, if you want to solve it, you can solve it yourself!

Yuan Shao was angry when he saw Cao Cao ignoring him, and he directly wanted to smash the inkstone on the stage, but now more than 100,000 troops and generals are watching, can't, can't smash it!

Seeing Yuan Shao's sweaty appearance, Yuan Shao's military advisor Tian Feng immediately stood up, walked to Lu Rui's side, arched his hand and said: "Little Hou Ye, this is the villain's thing, the villain's name is Hanfeng, this bronze tiger is the villain's thing, please return the villain." ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he applauded loudly in his heart, Tian Feng, worthy of being my military advisor, he came out to relieve me so quickly, why didn't I think of this method, isn't it Han? Find someone with the surname Han and you can ask for it back!

Lu Rui looked at Tian Feng, this is Yuan Shao's military advisor, Tian Feng of Hebei? Hehe, Oda Tian depends on how you deal with me? Lu Rui took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Your name is Hanfeng?" What proof do you have for your surname Han? My surname is Lu, my name is Lu Rui, and this jade pendant here is my surname! After speaking, Lu Rui took out a round white jade and shook it, this piece of white jade is owned by the children of the family, and it is engraved with the surname and place of origin, indicating his identity.

Yuan Shao was stunned, oh my God, why is this kid so difficult, and he still has to verify his identity? Yuan Shu looked at Lu Rui happily, just hoping that Yuan Shao would make a fool of himself, but Yuan Yu couldn't take his eyes off Tian Feng and look at the level of Yuan Shao's internal heir and his strategists! The rest of the people looked at Tian Feng and saw how Tian Feng took back the tiger talisman.

At this time, the herald came to report: "Report! Alliance leader, someone in the rear army has fought! After speaking, he pointed with his hand, and saw some sergeants scuffling in the distance. When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately shouted: "Biography? "But the right hand is empty, and there is no tiger talisman!

Tian Feng was not disturbed by this situation, but took out a piece of white jade similar to Lu Rui from his arms, which had a Chinese character on it, arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye, this is my surname, please take a look at Hou Ye!" ”

When everyone saw it, they all showed expressions of praise, Tian Feng is really a capable person! Lu Rui took the jade pendant, and was stunned for a moment, Tian Feng is really powerful, this jade pendant is called Linglong Han white jade, which is a friendly gift from the Han Dynasty to other countries, produced by the special department of the Han court, and is responsible for giving or selling it to the monarchs of neighboring countries. This thing is the blueprint of the surname jade pendant of the children of the Han family, and the jade pendant of the children of the Han family is imitated according to this, but the pattern is different from the word in the middle, and the word of the exquisite white marble is Luoyang-Han!

Lu Rui thought about it, this kind of jade Pei Lu Rui is a five-year-old child must not be able to see the flaw, if he sees it, it is Cao Cao's instructions, I didn't expect it, Tian Feng is really powerful, in order not to let everyone doubt Cao Cao, Lu Rui nodded and said: "Okay, Uncle Hanfeng, I'll give it back to you, but this is what I found, should you give me some reward?" "Children, if you pick something up, if someone wants to return it, you must ask for some benefits.

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, if Rui'er is returned to Hanfeng, this general will give Rui'er ten night pearls on his behalf!" ”

When Tian Feng heard this, eh, lord, you are too anxious! Tian Feng arched his hand and said to Yuan Shao: "Thank you for redeeming the things that Hanfeng has passed down home!" Yuan Shao spoke up, Tian Feng, as a strategist, could only help Yuan Shao round the field, it should not have been Yuan Shao's answer, but it should have been negotiated by Tian Feng and Lu Rui, but Yuan Shao was anxious to return the tiger talisman, Tian Feng could only pretend that the lord was sympathetic to his subordinates and redeemed what belonged to his subordinates, so as not to lose Yuan Shao's dignity!

When Yuan Shao heard this, he knew that he was anxious, but there was no way, the soldiers were going to revolution, could he not be in a hurry? Lu Rui nodded and said to Tian Feng: "Okay, here you go, what Uncle Ben Chu said must count." After speaking, he returned the tiger talisman to Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng took the tiger talisman, he immediately handed it to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao picked up the tiger talisman and said in a loud voice: "Pass on my military order, those who disturb military discipline will gallop ten laps of the barracks." The rest of the departments will return to the camp and discuss the plan tomorrow! ”

When everyone heard this, they said in unison: "No! ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he exhaled and finally solved it.

At night, Lu Rui played with the ten night pearls sent by Yuan Shao, hehe, he made another profit this time! originally wanted Yuan Shao to make a fool of himself and Cao Cao to benefit, but now it is basically a tie. Cao Cao gave the position of leader of the alliance a good reputation, but Yuan Shao had a resourceful military advisor who also spread throughout the military camp. Yuan Shao only lost some face, but he can still fool the past if he is informal, after all, not every hero can coax children! This does not damage Yuan Shao's prestige, but only highlights Yuan Shao's indecisive character, and a child, and grinding!
