During the period when Sun Quan was "recuperating" in Luyang City,

The Jiangdong army was high in momentum and like a bamboo, and Dong Zhuo's army was defeated and retreated, even if Sun Quan didn't take the initiative to pay attention to the battle situation at all, the steady stream of good news from the front line would always reach his ears. This made Sun Quan can't help but have an illusion, that is, under the influence of his butterfly effect, does this world not need any Kwantung coalition army at all, and just one Sun Jian can drive Dong Zhuo out of Luoyang? !

This idea made Sun Quan smile bitterly, although from the perspective of the family, this is very worthy of Sun Quan's happiness, but without his Sun Quan's help, or rather, without his Sun Quan's "trouble", the Jiangdong Army is progressing so smoothly, and it can be regarded as a blow to Sun Quan. Stimulated by this, Sun Quan almost wanted to go outside to fight the sword rivers and lakes and become a martial arts hero.

In life, I don't want to be able to reach the top, but I want to be able to live happily!

In this context,

Another big event happened in the Han Dynasty.

Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's camp, when Dong Zhuo first entered Luoyang, Cao Cao, one of the important people who was successfully recruited, fled from Luoyang alone due to the failure of assassinating Dong Zhuo.

For this reason, Dong Zhuo was furious, and he didn't know if there was a reason for being frightened, Dong Zhuo sent a large number of manpower to hunt down Cao Cao, and offered a high reward. Just like Sun Jian as a typical outsider, Cao Cao, as a typical example inside Dong Zhuo's camp, made Dong Zhuo afraid. Dong Zhuo was afraid that under the influence of the Cao Cao incident, countless people would rebel in secret, and under internal and external troubles, the entire camp seemed to be crumbling. There's no way, against Sun Jian outside, even if he loses, no matter how bad he is, he can still retreat, but if he is assassinated inside, once he succeeds, Dong Zhuo's own life will be gone!

Just like Cao Cao this time, Dong Zhuo thought that he was not bad to Cao Cao, and even had the idea of attracting Cao Cao to be a confidant, but as a result, when Dong Zhuo was completely defenseless against Cao Cao, Cao Cao, the "anti-bone boy", almost killed him! Do you say Dong Zhuo was shocked? Do you say Dong Zhuo is angry? Cao Cao is like this, what about the other people Dong Zhuo was suspicious of? Moreover, Cao Cao is like this, what about the other people who were originally similar to Cao Cao?

In the past, Dong Zhuo only felt the great benefits of power, so he was able to be unscrupulous in Luoyang, almost abandoning the gift of Confucius and Mencius. It was only now that Dong Zhuo discovered the sequelae of power, the height is unbearable, in this position, you can't trust anyone, walking on thin ice, and you can't even sleep well every day, for fear that someone will harm you. Just like Cao Cao later, suspicion is really not congenital, you are in that position, and if you encounter a few rebellions and assassinations, then you are not suspicious but also suspicious!

All in all, no matter what the background and reason for Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo is, this incident has really happened. In the eyes of ordinary people who are widely tortured by Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao is a person with lofty ideals, and he joined Dong Zhuo's camp as an undercover agent from the beginning, Cao Cao is a hero, comparable to Jing Ke in ancient times! But in the eyes of many big families, they don't think so, although there is the possibility of spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but those people generally believe that Cao Cao's original submission to Dong Zhuo was aware of current affairs, and this assassination and betrayal of Dong Zhuo was also aware of current affairs, Cao Cao was in Dong Zhuo's camp, and he had already seen the crisis of Dong Zhuo's camp, so he went out to assassinate Dong Zhuo in order to echo Sun Jian outside.

At first glance, it may seem like a big risk, but have you ever thought that when Sun Jian really comes and defeats Dong Zhuo, then Cao Cao, as the villain who took refuge in Dong Zhuo back then, will he still be able to survive? !

This is what a large part of the superiors think of Cao Cao, to put it mildly, Cao Cao is a wall grass and a real villain. Of course, this is also related to Cao Cao's background, Cao Cao is a descendant of eunuchs, a turbidity sect rather than a clear stream, from the beginning, these self-proclaimed noble scholars looked at Cao Cao with colored glasses, and it is not surprising that they would have such thoughts.

However, it doesn't matter whether Cao Cao is noble or despicable, because in the eyes of most people, today's Cao Cao is just like today's Sun Quan, just an insignificant little person. These bigwigs care more about the meaning behind Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo!

Cao Cao, the "villain" who has been staying inside Dong Zhuo, has already seen that Dong Zhuo is no longer good, and it seems that he can really respond to Yuan Shao's aid and oppose Dong!

If Sun Jian's victory stabilized the hearts of anti-Dong people, then Cao Cao's actions can be said to be the fuse formed by the anti-Dong coalition.

So, when Cao Cao, with the help of Chen Gong, successfully escaped from Dong Zhuo's forces to Guanwai, Yuan Shao immediately secretly helped his former friend Cao Cao, and hinted that Cao Cao came forward, took the lead in advocating the righteous army, and issued a message, calling on the heroes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo!

This is the routine of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao wants to be the leader of the alliance, but he can't say it himself, so this alliance must be advocated by others, established by others, and then nominated by others Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, so it is logical. Therefore, Yuan Shao found Cao Cao, and this matter was most suitable for Cao Cao, who had just returned from assassinating Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao knew that Yuan Shao was using himself, but he was also happy to see it, after all, it was a win-win situation, Cao Cao gained great fame because of it, and he had already assassinated Dong Zhuo, and now if he didn't oppose Dong, would he wait for Dong Zhuo to kill him?

It can be said that Cao Cao has no way to retreat at all, even if Yuan Shao does not come to him, Cao Cao will raise a righteous army to defect to Sun Jian. It's just that Yuan Shao appeared at this time, and compared with the unfamiliar Sun Jian, Cao Cao is obviously more inclined to choose the Yuan Shao he is familiar with. Besides, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have become in-laws, and Sun Quan is Yuan Kui's disciple, so there is not much difference between the Sun family and the Yuan family.

Anyway, when Cao Cao raised the banner of anti-Dong, the whole world (Kanto region) responded. People who don't know still think that Dong Zhuo is so unpopular with the people, and these princes are all holding their breath to oppose Dong, but in fact, it is the result of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's secret contact. In fact, Dong Zhuo has not been in power for a long time, and the local tyrants in Luoyang have indeed suffered widely, but Dong Zhuo's hand has not reached so far in Kanto, and the people in Kanto are more affected by the Yellow Turban.

But in ancient times, how could the common people know about any major national affairs, and as soon as the magistrates played it up slightly, they all followed suit. For a while, there was no one in the entire Kwantung region who did not express their position, including those who did not appear in the coalition lineup in history, such as Liu Biao and Tao Qian, although they did not send troops, they actually gave food and grass.

At this time, no one thought that Dong Zhuo would be the opponent of the entire Kwantung Coalition Army!

It's a pity that no one knows that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao made up this anti-Dong coalition army, but Sun Jian was stimulated. Sun Jian, as the first anti-Dong prince, do you think he may not join this anti-Dong "big family"? After all, everyone is holding the banner of justice, and if you don't join, it means that you have selfish intentions and that your motives are not pure. But if Sun Jian joins, can he be the leader of the alliance? No! Sun Jian knows very well that when it comes to politics, he is not the opponent of that group of people at all.

Therefore, in Sun Jian's eyes, this is no longer the icing on the cake, it is simply stealing the fruits of his labor!

Sun Jian had words of suffering, and it was difficult to be angry, and for a while, he adopted radical measures. That is to speed up the progress, take advantage of the power of this victory, and before the Kwantung coalition forces are assembled, go straight to Huanglong, break Luoyang, and destroy Dong Zhuo!
