Chapter 311: The Second Princes' Alliance
The liaison officers sent by Cao Cao have now returned to Xuchang one after another.
The news they brought back made Cao Cao very excited!
Except for Sun Ce in Jiangdong, who refused to use the Shanyue people in Jiangnan to make a rebellion, this reason for binding his feet.
The princes had agreed to Cao Cao's request.
They are determined to arrive in Luoyang with their troops on the 19th of this month, and when the time comes, they will break through Hangu Pass for His Majesty.
Cao Cao asked Guo Jia and others to be found.
He handed over some information to them, and Guo Jia and the others had different expressions after reading it.
Although they were a little relieved in their hearts, the situation of the princes discussing Dong at the beginning is still vivid in their minds.
As we all know, Zhao Yang's power has shown vigorous development in the past ten years.
Although there were several crises during this period, they never brought him much loss.
Due to Zhao Yang's many policies to benefit the people, now his sphere of influence is as solid as a rock.
Those unfavorable factors were completely eradicated in those crises.
They also got some information though.
But Cao Cao and they all knew that this was the *** thrown by Zhao Yang on the surface.
More than ten years have passed, and the ghost knows how terrifying Zhao Yang is now.
"My lord, my subordinates think that this alliance should let Yuan Shao act as the leader, so that we can better attract Zhao Yang's hatred for us."
At this time, Cheng Yu suggested to Cao Cao.
It's just that Guo Jia and others don't think so.
Now there are only a few of them left, and Cao Cao is still in control of Emperor Han Xian.
As long as you are not a confused person, you will figure it out.
The issuer this time will inevitably be Cao Cao.
Cao Cao felt that what Cheng Yu said was right.
Everyone thinks of him, but he doesn't care.
As long as Yuan Shao is willing to replace him and act as this bird, why wouldn't he do it?
Today's Cao Cao is no longer the upright young man he was at the beginning.
In the past ten years of prime minister's career, he already has the temperament of a traitor in troubled times.
Cao Cao has always firmly believed in a truth, that is, when only when he is strong, he has the real right to speak.
After discussing the countermeasures, Cao Cao did not hesitate, and he immediately left the palace and went to the palace.
He wanted to present Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty and ask for a holy decree to crusade against Zhao Yang.
In this way, they can be famous and very righteous.
Xuchang Imperial Palace Xianglong Palace
Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty looked incredible.
He stared at Cao Cao deadly, not moving his eyes for a long time of tea.
He didn't expect Cao Cao to really do it.
Zhao Yang has been respectful to him for several years.
The tributes sent every year are also quite rich, and many strange things make him happy.
But why didn't he look at him well, and Zhao Yang didn't see it.
If it weren't for Zhao Yang over the years, he would have guarded the border in Beijing Town.
I'm afraid that the alien race has already invaded the Han many times.
"Zhao Yang is not disrespectful to me, I don't know why the prime minister sent troops to fight him?"
Emperor Han Xian felt that he still had to ask Cao Cao.
He hopes to give himself a satisfactory answer.
Cao Cao pondered for a while, he didn't expect things to be so troublesome.
The main reason is that he didn't count the heart of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty!
Zhao Yang had never been to Xuchang, but he could let Liu Xie protect him like this.
This son's ability and means are really fearful.
This person must get out as soon as possible!
Cao Cao told Emperor Xian of Han that he was now in Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Sanfu, and Hanzhong County.
His reputation Zhao Yang far exceeds that of the Son of Heaven.
The people in these places now only know the Tang Marquis but not the Han Emperor.
Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, sighed helplessly.
Since he had said this, he had no choice but to say sorry to Zhao Yang secretly in his heart.
Although he was very optimistic about him, he didn't want to show up, he only knew about the Tang Hou and didn't know the situation of the Han Emperor.
The time soon arrived on the 19th, and Cao Cao arrived in Luoyang three days in advance.
He sent Li Dian and Le Jin to lead an army of 30,000 troops to garrison the key places west of Luoyang.
Cao Cao personally led an army of 50,000 and garrisoned it in Luoyang.
He was also here, waiting for the other princes to come and join the alliance.
The first person to rush to Luoyang, Cao Cao was stunned for a long time.
He originally thought that the first one to arrive would be Yuan Shao, who was the closest.
I never thought it would be Liu Bei.
"Haha, Uncle Liu Huang is worthy of being the pillar of the country, and he took the lead in coming to Luoyang Huimeng, he is really a model for my generation!"
He entertained Liu Bei very warmly, which made Liu Bei grateful.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng praised it falsely, as a member of the Han family, he will definitely do his best to sweep away all treachery for His Majesty."
Liu Bei's words made the generals behind Cao Cao look stool.
It's just that Cao Cao himself, as if he didn't hear what he said.
The two talked and laughed on the surface, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
In fact, they are all right in their hearts, and they all call each other an old fox.
Not long after Liu Bei was arranged, another army came outside Luoyang City.
After Cao Cao got the report, Cao Ren went to greet him.
The person who came this time was Yuan Shu, who was very arrogant in his fresh clothes.
"Cao Apu, if you don't come to greet me yourself, don't you take me too seriously?"
Before anyone could come in, Cao Cao heard such arrogant words.
He snorted coldly in his heart, after this alliance is over, he will take your waste.
Cao Cao made up his mind that this time he had to fool Yuan Shu and take the initiative to attack Hangu Pass.
In this way, not only can you kill people with a knife, but you can also deplete the strength of Zhao Yang and Yuan Shu.
Cao Cao was reluctant to deal with Yuan Shu too much.
But he didn't want Yuan Shu to ruin this alliance.
In desperation, he personally arranged the other party's accommodation.
This made Yuan Shu satisfied.
After arranging everything, he quietly told Yuan Shu to let him stay for a while.
The other princes have not yet arrived.
After that, he left the place.
He was afraid that he couldn't help it, and he would give Yuan Shu a punch.
He really couldn't get used to Yuan Shu's domineering appearance.
Subsequently, the princes from all walks of life arrived one after another, and more than 500,000 troops gathered outside Luoyang.
Yuan Shao was the last to come to Luoyang.
I saw the dust flying in the distance, waving flags, and the majesty made Cao Cao blush.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already dark.
Cao Cao didn't plan to do anything today.
At night, he was in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, picking up the wind and washing the dust for the princes from all walks of life.
Looking at the former palace, they didn't have any respect to speak of.
This made Liu Bei's face on the side very gloomy.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would eliminate these disloyal people one by one and restore the feats of Han Wu and Guangwu in the past.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, he despised it for a while.
It's just that he still needs these people to attack Hangu Pass instead of himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I invited everyone to come, mainly because of Zhao Yang's disobedience, and I decided to let Brother Ben Chu serve as the leader of the alliance this time."
Cao Cao's words quieted down the hall.
Yuan Shao sat up straight, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
It's worthy of being a buddy who grew up with a bare ass together!
At this time, he was able to make himself stand out, and it was in vain that he guarded the wall for him at the beginning.
