For Cao Cao, he was able to comprehend what he said.

Cao Ang felt very relieved.

Looking up at the expression on his father's face, he saw that his face was more contemplative and considerate, mixed with a little confusion, but there was no resistance.

Cao Ang understood.

Soon.

He only needs to work hard to completely shatter the unrealistic fantasy in Cao Cao's mind, so that he can recognize this realistic world.

Then they are father and son.

to be able to merge into the same track ideologically.

In the future, when Cao Ang does something, he doesn't need to worry about Cao Cao's reaction in everything, let alone hide it from him in some things.

Therefore, Cao Ang did not give Cao Cao a chance to slow down, and directly added firewood to the fire.

He immediately pointed around with his hand, and then said in a slightly mocking tone: "Along the way, what kind of virtue everyone in the coalition army is, my father must have known it. ”

"From the battle of Chenggao Pass, in the face of Huaxiong's mighty soldiers, everyone delayed each other and passed the buck, and was silent, and then there were several major battles one after another."

"From Yuan Shu just losing some face, he thought about killing Sun Jian, and there was no trace of the overall situation of the alliance fighting together to resist foreign enemies, and then when your father led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, everyone cared about him."

"All of this is vivid, everyone shouts for the court, for the Han family, all of them are high-sounding, but in fact, what they think about is a business."

Speaking of this, Cao Ang paused slightly.

Then he made a final conclusion to the Kanto group of heroes.

"Among the people involved in the coalition's crusade against Dong Zhuo, except for a very few people like your father, they really have a passion and want to destroy the national thieves."

"The rest of the people just want to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves and get a wave of promotions."

"That's why the child said that he can't rely on others!"

……

The look of thought on Cao Cao's face was even heavier.

His brows were tightly knit and he was full of sorrow.

There is even a faint hint of pain.

Cao Ang bluntly uncovered this scar, even if Cao Cao wanted to deceive himself with words, it would be impossible to do it again.

"Alas!"

Half an hour later.

Cao Cao sighed.

Then he opened his eyes full of exhaustion, and instead of arguing with Cao Ang about anything else, he discussed the possibility of relying on the Cao family to punish the thief by himself.

"Ang'er, in fact, how can I not know that although the so-called coalition army is numerous, it also means that it will be chaotic, and it will take more than a dozen people to make up their minds about one thing, how can such an alliance last long."

"It's just that if you don't use the power of the alliance, how can you compete with Dong Thief?"

"Although I am eager to destroy the thief, I also know that the Dong thief is powerful, although the coalition army has won successive battles, but the Dong thief has not broken his muscles and bones, and there are still nearly 100,000 troops."

"And after evacuating Luoyang and retreating to Chang'an City, far away from the land of Kanto, if you want to send troops to recruit him, it will take a long time and consume a huge amount of grain and grass, which can never be done by one family!"

Speaking of which.

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly.

The right hand couldn't help but pat on the thigh, looking full of grief and indignation, but helpless.

"Why don't I want to abandon the alliance, raise the banner of the Cao family, lead 100,000 soldiers and horses with my own strength, set off on the day, and send the troops to Chang'an, the whole army listens to my orders, and no one dares to retreat in fear."

"But that's just a matter of thinking!"

"Compared to what you said about Ang'er, relying on our own strength, my father thinks that it is safer to count on the re-establishment of the alliance, so when your original uncle greeted me before, I would say kind words to him."

……

In order to be able to recover the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao can be regarded as enduring humiliation.

But this is not what Cao Ang wants, what he wants is that Cao Cao can be bold and wild!

Therefore, Cao Cao's voice just fell.

Cao Ang shook his head decisively.

"Father's words are false!"

"I only ask my father one question, if after forming the alliance again and successfully getting rid of Dong Zhuo, another ambitious person will pop up in the world at that time, and this person happens to be in the alliance, and he is the most powerful force in the alliance."

"Then who should my father turn to to unite against this new careerist?"

Cao Cao was speechless.

There is only silence.

But he quickly reacted as well.

Oh, yes!

To blindly hope to destroy these ambitious enemies by uniting is tantamount to entrusting one's fate to others.

Think big.

If after Dong Zhuo was killed, the two brothers Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu wanted to usurp the Han, then how could he Cao Cao stop it?

These two brothers are gone.

The coalition forces were directly abolished in half.

Not to mention being enemies with them.

Although this is a hypothesis, who can guarantee that the hypothesis will not come true?

……

Looking at Cao Cao's eyes, he became resolute.

The hands hidden under the table were clenched tightly, clenched into fists, and even broke out with a crisp sound.

Cao Ang simply got up, and while walking around the tent, he gestured with his hands and said impassionedly.

"There are endless ambitious people in this world, and pinning your hopes on others will only raise the next stronger careerist."

"Therefore, in the eyes of children, only when we are strong and become the most powerful force in the world, can we cut off the way for ambitious people to rise."

"We have invincible soldiers, inexhaustible money and food, and even the largest territory in the world, so powerful that these people can put away their ambitions and behave under the laws of the imperial court."

"Compared to the times of Tianxing, if anyone in the world dares not to obey the orders of the imperial court, we will send troops to attack him, and whoever wants to be the next Dong Zhuo, we will destroy him!"

"That's the fundamental way!"

In a word.

Cao Cao's blood boiled suddenly.

Cao Ang said that his whole body was like fire.

It's so exciting!

If you really want to be like what your son depicted, whoever disagrees will beat him, and whoever dares to be Dong Zhuo will kill your whole family, which makes people feel happy when they think about it!

It's much better than being attached to an alliance!

Staying in the coalition army, in order to attack a city, they had to hold a small meeting of the assembly and gather people from all walks of life to discuss and discuss for a long time.

In the end, everyone's consent is required.

If there are many people who oppose it, then the previous efforts are in vain, so how can you do things like this?

Cao Cao's mind cleared up instantly.

Just as he was about to make a decision.

Suddenly thinking of the wording in Cao Ang's words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After a moment's deliberation.

couldn't help asking: "Ang'er, we need to have troops, grain and grass, and territory to strengthen our strength, and even give orders on behalf of the imperial court, so if we do this, won't we become another Dong Zhuo?" ”

Cao Ang: "......"

……

This old Cao.

I've never seen him react so quickly on weekdays.

Now I became quick again.

Fortunately, Cao Ang had a plan.

"Smack!"

The hand slapped heavily on the table.

"How can my father compare himself to Dong Zhuo, you have a loyal heart, and the child is even more loyal to the Han family, we are loyal ministers!"

"Dong Zhuo is a disobedient usurper, despises the royal family, deceives the king, wantonly kills Zhongliang, he is a complete thief."

"As long as you don't change your festival, father, it is also to give orders on behalf of the imperial court, Dong Zhuo is in charge of the government, and we are patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, can this be compared?"

"Unless you admit that you are not a loyal servant!"

Cao Cao hurriedly shook his head.

The biggest label he put on himself is that he is a loyal minister, who dares to say that he is not loyal, then Cao Cao will dare to fight with that person with a knife now.

Hence Cao Ang's explanation.

Cao Cao thought so.

He felt that his son was right.

Isn't that the truth?

As long as he upholds a loyal heart, he will always be loyal to the Han family and the court.

Then what he did was also for the long-term stability of the country and the eternal stability of the Han court, so what is there to be afraid of?

Cao Cao felt he could do it.

……

After thinking about this clearly.

Cao Cao immediately cheered up.

Cao Cao, who was originally depressed because of the failure of the pursuit of Dong Zhuo and the disappointing performance of everyone in the alliance, suddenly cheered up at this moment, and the whole person was a lot more refreshed.

"Ang'er, you're right, seeing that this so-called coalition is about to be disbanded."

"The top priority at the moment should be to return to our own turf, continue to recruit troops, train new troops, and strengthen our own strength."

"When one day, we can exterminate the Dong thief with our own strength, then we will rejuvenate the division of the royal road, and break through Chang'an in one go!"

Father's banner suddenly woke up.

A smile appeared on Cao Ang's face.

Fortunately, after a series of blows, Cao Cao's psychological defense line has been loosened, and it can even be said that he is on the verge of semi-collapse.

Otherwise, it's really not so easy to convince him.

No matter what the process is, though.

The results were good.

At present, his father Cao Cao has established a heart to fight for hegemony, although Cao Cao himself doesn't think so, but it is actually no different from fighting for hegemony.

He is now with a heart of loyalty.

But what will it look like in the future?

Even Cao Ang can't judge this, but there is a high probability that it will change.

…………

After today's discussion.

In the next few days, Cao Cao's mental outlook can be described as quite good.

He has already discussed with Cao Ang and determined the basic strategy for continuing to develop in Yanzhou, and will rely on the existing territory, and even the territory that may be expanded in the future, to carry out rapid growth.

Just wait for one thing now.

That is, among the soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City at the moment, the first person to announce his withdrawal from the alliance, return to his own station, and no longer participate in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

At that time, the Cao family's father and son were able to follow.

They didn't want to be the first birds.

After all, they are all loyal ministers of the Han family, how can they be the first to leave if everyone is gone?

And the process is not long.

Because all kinds of soldiers and horses have been stationed in Luoyang City for a long time, coupled with the consumption on this road since the day the troops were dispatched, it can be said that it is a very long time span.

Someone couldn't help it a few days ago.

If he hadn't waited for Cao Cao's arrival, I'm afraid he would have led his troops to run away, and now Cao Cao has returned.

So what are you waiting for?

In the early morning three days later.

Yuan Shao convened all walks of life to discuss the tent in the Chinese military camp, and everyone was present.

And after a pleasantries.

Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, plus Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi.

These people should have been negotiated.

They all stood up and said to Yuan Shao and everyone present that they wanted to say goodbye and leave.

……

At this moment, Liu Dai was standing in the middle of the field.

After bowing to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, he said with a guilty face.

"I was supposed to advance and retreat with you here, and after resting for a few days, I led my troops to continue to march west to defeat Dong Zhuo, but the men and horses were tired, the troops were damaged, and the soldiers under his command had little strength left to fight."

"In addition, when I first became the assassin of Yanzhou, I was in a hurry when I joined the coalition army, and many affairs have not yet had time to be arranged.

"Therefore, although I regret it, I can only ask the alliance leader and you to resign!"

Liu Dai's words came out.

Qiao Mao and others chimed in.

The excuse is much the same, anyway, it is that he has suffered heavy losses, there are not many available soldiers, plus the county, the state cannot do without himself.

I can only say goodbye very "ashamed and regretful".

All of a sudden.

Everyone looked at each other.

After all, someone made this bird.

But after listening to the words of several people, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I finally don't have to stay here anymore.

Thanks to Liu Dai and these old buddies, everyone was liberated on the spot.

And Yuan Shaoduan sat on the top seat, and after quietly listening to the resignations of several people, he also showed regret.

Quite "reluctantly" said: "Dong Zhuo fled westward, this battle failed to complete its full success, the huge alliance should have continued, and I should have spoken out to save it." ”

"It's a pity that I know that people from all walks of life are sleepy and tired, and your words are even more true, not because they are unwilling to do their best, but because they can't do it."

"In that case, then I can't say anything more, I can only wish a few people to take care of themselves all the way."

"After recuperating and purging the soldiers and horses, he will wait for the alliance to achieve today's unfinished business!"

……

The leader of the alliance is so reasonable.

The people of the Straight Sect are happy in their hearts.

As everyone knows, the alliance leader himself has long been unable to hold back, he is the most powerful party in this alliance.

If he can be liberated from this mess as soon as possible, then the speed at which he can accumulate strength in the future will far exceed that of the rest.

Therefore, Yuan Shao is actually more eager than anyone else.

It's just that his face and reputation can't be lost.

Therefore, it was not until someone stood up today that he pushed the boat with the water.

After agreeing to continue the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the coming day.

The crowd drank a bowl of wine.

Then in the afternoon.

Liu Dai and the others gathered their troops and horses, announced their withdrawal from the alliance one after another, and left Luoyang City.

And in the days that followed.

Forces from all walks of life also retreated.

Wait until the person is almost gone.

It was finally Cao Cao's turn.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Shao and others, and making an appointment with Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others.

Cao Cao, together with the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, plus Bao Xin, Liu Chong, and the five soldiers and horses that Chen had sworn to leave at the beginning, retreated and left.

A mighty crusade against Dong Zhuo's alliance.

This is the end of the curtain.
