Zhuang Shaoyou was dictatorial and arranged the key points of work for the new year, and everyone who was still beaming suddenly became heavy and went to work. And expressed his sincere admiration for the general for being so sober, and his admiration was like a surging river.

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Zhuang Shaoyou, who was handling official business in southern Liaoning, received a summons from the Intelligence Department.

Cao Cao spread the word to the world and invited heroes from all walks of life to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo! For a time, the world was turbulent.

Since the end of September last year, Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, escaped from Luoyang, and then returned to his hometown of Chenliu, scattered his family wealth, and received financial support from local tycoons, relatives and friends, recruited troops, and trained soldiers. After the Lantern Festival of the Spring Festival this year, Dong Weiwen was released, and for a while, Cao Cao's name spread all over the world.

Yuan Shao, who was in Jizhou, did not return to his hometown for the New Year, but took charge of military affairs in Nanpi City, licked his wounds, and prepared to find an opportunity to fight again! I don't want to receive a message from Cao Cao just after the New Year. Yuan Shao was very annoyed, this damn Cao Cao actually stole his own limelight! The followers who followed behind their butts back then can now stir up the wind and rain!

Here's an opportunity, though! The crusade against Dong Zhuo is a righteous act, and there will definitely be no fewer princes who want to come to the world to respond, and there must be an alliance leader together with all the princes, right? Who else would dare to be the leader of this alliance if I was Yuan Benchu!

Wrong! And one more!

The general, the young master, the Qing Yan suppresses the envoy! Zhuang Shaoyou!

Whether it is reputation, identity, status, strength, or ability, Zhuang Shaoyou is stronger than Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao thought of Zhuang Shaoyou, and immediately became a little flustered, no! The leader of the alliance is mine! No one can rob it! So, Yuan Shao began to move.

Jizhou Mu Hanfu was hesitating after receiving the text, but Yuan Shao came to Yecheng in person.

Soon, Wang Kuang of Hanoi, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Yuan Yi of Shanyang, Bao Xin of Jibei, Kong Rong of Beihai, and Zhang Yang of Shangdang Taishou all received letters from Yuan Shao, and even Cao Cao, who published the text, was no exception!

In fact, not only Yuan Shao is restless in the world, but there are many people who are ready to move! For example, General Hou, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu! After receiving Cao Cao's text, Yuan Shu's eyes also lit up, and the opportunity came!

Yuan Shu, the direct son-in-law of the Yuan family, also thinks that the position of the leader of the alliance, who else should I be? As for that Yuan Benchu? It's just a cheap breed!

Zhuang Shaoyou sat in the study, looking at the text in front of him, and Cai Yan was doing some writing work by his side.

"Husband, Dong Zhuo is unscrupulous, he has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the people of Sili have been miserable, and it is time to crusade! Wen Ji thought this was a very happy thing! What are you waiting for? As long as the husband raises his arms and shouts, people of insight in the world will definitely respond in groups! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wen Ji, things are not that simple!" Do you think these people are going to crusade against Dong Zhuo? No! They are just looking for an excuse to raise troops, which is a precursor to chaos in the world! Of course, it's only a matter of time! It's just a little bit earlier!

The world is prosperous, and the people are suffering;

The world is dead, and the people are suffering!

Between the rise and fall of the world, the most bitter is the people!

My father-in-law is also in Luoyang, and he is still under Dong Zhuo, how can I feel embarrassed? ”

When Cai Yan heard this, his expression was also gloomy and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhuang Shaoyou took Cai Yan into his arms, comforted him softly, and always stopped the tears in his eyes.

Zhuang Shaoyou thought carefully for a while, although he knew it in his heart and had been prepared for a long time, but when the matter really came, he was still a little uneasy! What should I do?

According to intelligence, Dong Zhuo has 70,000 Xiliang soldiers under his command, as well as 23,000 men and horses under Lu Bu, with a total of nearly 100,000! Moreover, the Xiliang soldiers are strong in battle, and they should not be underestimated, but I don't know how many princes will have in the army?

Zhuang Shaoyou pondered for a moment and decided to convene everyone to discuss!

Half an hour later, in the conference hall of the Administration Department, Zhuang Shaoyou sat at the top, looking at the people below, a little trance-like.

Lejin, Tian Feng, Xun You and Tai Shici were all stationed in Puyang and did not return to southern Liaoning for the New Year, which had been planned a long time ago, and their families had already been sent from southern Liaoning to Puyang to reunite with them. At present, there are only a few people in southern Liaoning, such as the Mojia cadres, the Minister of Administration Guo Yuan, and the Deputy General Staff Officer Hua Xin.

Zhuang Shaoyou calmed down and said, "What does Master Hua think about this?" ”

Hua Xin bowed slightly, he had been dealing with government affairs in southern Liaoning for a long time, and Zhuang Shaoyou's strategy in the Central Plains basically did not use him to contribute, but Hua Xin was not dissatisfied with this. Because Hua Xin is very sober, as a subordinate, it's never too late to speak when the Lord calls you! It's okay to work hard and have a good relationship with your colleagues, and you must not complain, a mature official must endure loneliness! This is Hua Xin's realization after being cut off by his friend Guan Ning.

Hearing Zhuang Shaoyou's question, Hua Xin said: "General, my subordinates think we should raise troops!" And move quickly, make some moves before the princes, and then hold the position of the alliance leader firmly in your hands, which is a good thing for fame and fortune! The subordinates believe that the princes of the Central Plains should have already made some moves, so the general should hurry up to prevent others from taking the lead! But this can be a difficult one! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou nodded slightly: "What Hua Junshi said is even!" General Ben will go to Puyang tomorrow! No matter what the odds, go for it! ”

On the nineteenth day of the first month, facing the fierce cold wind, Zhuang Shaoyou boarded the ship to Qingzhou. Today, the Yellow River is still frozen, so it can only land along the coast of Qingzhou and then rush to Puyang by land.

Three days later, Zhuang Shaoyou arrived in Puyang and immediately convened everyone to discuss the punishment of the director.

Tian Feng said: "General, from the overall point of view, it is indeed extremely advantageous to obtain the position of alliance leader, but I am afraid that this matter is not so easy!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou asked, "What the military advisor is worried about is Yuan Shao making an obstruction?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head: "Definitely! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was puzzled and asked curiously, "Why is that?" ”

Tian Feng said with a solemn face: "General, you might as well make an assumption, in the name of the general, if you serve as the leader of the alliance, transfer troops and attack Luoyang, what will be the consequences?" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was silent, Xun You smiled and answered: "Of course, it is nine out of ten!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's face was slightly red, but it seemed to be like this.

Tian Feng continued: "If this is the case, what should the princes of the world do? What about Dong Zhuo? With such a simple truth, how could Dong Zhuo not understand? How can the heroes of the world not understand? ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. The group of heroes attacked Dong because Dong Zhuo occupied the emperor and ate all the meat, as for him to trouble Luoyang, the local princes would not be righteous enough to seek justice for the people of Sili! They just want to find a reason to start an army, and what they covet is the artifact of the world, the Liu family!

If Zhuang Shaoyou becomes the leader of the alliance, the probability of defeating Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu is more than seventy percent! If this is the case, then with Zhuang Shaoyou's prestige and strength, wouldn't he be more Dong Zhuo than Dong Zhuo? The others are still messing around! Therefore, even if Zhuang Shaoyou is only one percent sure, the princes will not let him be the leader of the alliance!

And for Dong Zhuo, whoever is the leader of the alliance can do it, but he can't let Zhuang Shaoyou be the leader of the alliance!

Zhuang Shaoyou wanted to understand the power, and suddenly felt a little depressed: "In this case, then what else do we have to mix?" ”

Tian Feng smiled and gestured to Wu Liang, Wu Liang immediately said: "General, Hebei Yuan Shao has made frequent moves today, making friends with the princes of the world, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, and there is another person, which is Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei!" All have dealings with it! ”

Tian Feng continued: "General, judging from Yuan Shao's actions, he obviously covets the position of the leader of the alliance, and he is worried that the general will rob him of his position, so he moves so frequently, and the princes of all parties have already begun to fight hard, and it won't be long before they will raise troops!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was silent when he heard this, Yuan Shao was indeed the leader of the alliance in history. The trajectory of history is still constantly corrected in its original direction after the deviation, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty died more than half a year earlier, and now the princes have been fighting Dong for a whole year in advance! What else will change? It's really unpredictable!

Seeing that Zhuang Shaoyou was deep in thought, everyone was silent and didn't dare to disturb.

After a long time, Zhuang Shaoyou came back to his senses and said, "Two military advisors, if this is the case, then how should we deal with it?" ”

Xun You opened his mouth and said: "General, the best strategy is to connect with Dong Zhuo, and then fight with Dong Zhuo after clearing the world!" At that time, with Dong Zhuo's strength, he will definitely not be the general's opponent, and the world will be at his fingertips! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Tian Feng, and Tian Feng said with a straight face: "General, those who become big things are not informal!" Dong Zhuo's reputation is notorious, and the heroes may not be much better! Aren't Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway of the Fourth and Third Princes also that virtue? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head: "Gongda, what about the middle strategy?" ”

Xun You and Tian Feng glanced at each other, smiled bitterly, and said: "General Hui, the middle strategy is to send an army to respond to the call and jointly attack Dong!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't give up and asked, "What about the next policy?" ”

Xun You smiled: "The next strategy is to watch from the wall!" However, Yuan Shao has a deep grudge with the general, and if he can't keep it, it will lead to disaster! ”

Tian Feng thought for a while and suddenly said: "General, if this strategy is properly deployed, it can also become the best policy, but there are too many risks and variables in it, and it is not easy to control!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Tian Feng sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "General, this strategy is to watch from the wall, and Yuan Shao will lead to disasters in the east, if the time comes, if the princes' troops can be gathered and annihilated, it can also be effective!" There are some things that Yuan Shao did, why can't the general do them? Hehe! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly realized, and praised: "What Tian Junshi said is very true! ”

The general policy is set, and the rest is the specific matters, and the troops in Puyang City are fierce, and they are nervous and ready for war.

On the twenty-second day of the first month, the day after Zhuang Shaoyou arrived in Puyang, the holy decree came to Puyang! Appointed Zhuang Shaoyou as the world's rebel envoy, and ordered Zhuang Shaoyou to crusade against all unscrupulous forces that tried to shake the central court!

The purpose is self-evident!

At the same time, all the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty received the holy decree and promoted a number of officials.

Why? Calm people's hearts!
