"Zixiu, how about you be the candidate?"
"ah?!!!"
Cao Ang looked stunned, as if he was shocked by Dong Zhuo's words.
As for whether it is real or fake.
Um……
Anyway, Dong Zhuo didn't see it.
Half of his body was pressed on the table, and his huge body made the table creak a little under the load.
He grabbed Cao Ang's arm with both hands and said sincerely: "Zixiu, lead my troops to the front line to keep an eye on Yuan Shao!"
"To tell you the truth, although I have many generals under my command, only a few are of great use. After much thought, I really can't find a suitable candidate."
"Except for my subordinates, I'm afraid you are the only one in the entire Luoyang City who is worthy of my trust and who also meets the two conditions you just mentioned!"
"I hope Zixiu, because of the close friendship between you and me, will do this for me. If you have any conditions, just ask and I will try my best to satisfy you!"
Dong Zhuo was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
If you directly want to hand over the task to Cao Ang, wouldn't this play into Cao Ang's heart?
Little did they know that the purpose of Cao Ang's coming here today to persuade Dong Zhuo was to shoulder such a task.
The task itself is not important. What is important is that completing this task requires troops, money, food, and official positions. If Dong Zhuo doesn't give him these things, can it be done?
Of course, there is a process for everything.
To abdicate, you need to ask three times and resign three times.
Therefore, when Dong Zhuo said this, Cao Ang just shook his head desperately and said with a troubled face.
"I can't do it. I can't do it. I have little talent and little knowledge. I am not good at literature and martial arts. How can I take on this important task?"
"I said Mr. Dong, you should hire someone else to help you!"
Cao Ang said so.
Dong Zhuo was a little anxious.
It's hard to think of a more suitable person. If this kid doesn't agree, where can he find a second person who is so agreeable?
Therefore, Dong Zhuo jumped down from the couch, ducked directly to Cao Ang, bowed down, and grabbed Cao Ang's arm with greater strength.
"Xianzi Zixiu, you are so humble, aren't you?"
"Don't refuse. We are so familiar with each other. Don't I know what you are capable of?"
"First of all, you must have resourcefulness. Just because you took the initiative to come to my house today to talk about this matter, it woke me up in person. I think you are as resourceful as Wenyou."
"Although I have not been lucky enough to see the ability to lead troops, your father Cao Cao is a military attache in the army. With your family background, how can you be any worse?"
"In the worst case, I will change your father's official position, and you two, father and son, will go and do it for me."
"After the event is completed, you can ask for any official position, title, or reward. I will answer your request!"
Dong Zhuo simply took the idea to Cao Ang's father, Cao Cao, and asked both father and son to join the battle.
Cao Ang made plans and was responsible for judging Yuan Shao's motives and the timing of his side's attack.
Cao Cao was responsible for the specific operations, leading the troops to fight and defeating Yuan Shao.
Damn it! What a genius I am!
…
Dong Zhuo's words were sincere and his tone was so sincere that he almost wiped a handful of water on his face and burst into tears.
At this point, Cao Ang no longer needs to be reserved.
After his expression was uncertain for a while, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"If Ming Gong insists that I do this, then I can bite the bullet and give it a try, but you need to promise me three things, otherwise we will give up."
"Speaking!"
Cao Ang raised a finger first.
"As the saying goes, if the name is not justified, the words are not correct. First of all, Duke Ming needs to give me an official status, so that I can have reasons to rely on whether I am commanding the army or negotiating with Yuan Shao in the future."
"In addition, this official body can also divide a territory in the local area to facilitate the confrontation with Yuan Shao."
This request is reasonable.
If Cao Ang were a white man, even if he was given troops and horses, the soldiers below would not be convinced. The leaders above him did not even have an official position, and even the top soldiers would talk about it.
What's more, only with officials can there be people and land. Without corresponding official positions, it is impossible to recruit local brave soldiers, let alone recuperate and recuperate based on the territory.
Dong Zhuo naturally understood this truth.
So when Cao Ang said this, he immediately found a map and then thought about it quietly for a moment.
Then he pointed to the location of Bohai County on the map.
"I plan to appoint Yuan Shao as the governor of Bohai County. It is extremely convenient to have him in this position. Not only is it far away from Luoyang, but it is also blocked by the other counties in Jizhou on the seaside."
"As for you, Zixiu, you can temporarily take over the command of Captain Huben. He can lead two to three thousand troops and has the power to recruit troops."
"It's a pity that you are too young. Otherwise, I would be able to better restrain Yuan Shao by making you a magistrate."
Forget it.
It would be unwise to compete with Yuan Shao without a certain foundation.
Cao Ang never thought about supervising Yuan Shao at all. He just wanted to cheat Dong Zhuo from officials, soldiers, and everything else.
After nodding with satisfaction on his face.
Cao Ang raised a second finger.
"The second point is that I hope Ming Gong will let me choose an army on my own. After all, leading an army requires combat ability. It is impossible for me to lead some old and weak soldiers to compete with Yuan Shao."
This question made Dong Zhuo scratch his head.
But he only thought about it for a few seconds, and then agreed.
"I will give you two thousand elite soldiers. Except for my Xiliang headquarters, you can choose the rest."
Dong Zhuo gave one more warning.
He was afraid that Cao Ang would pick on his Xiliang headquarters soldiers and horses. This was his direct army and the most powerful Xiliang cavalry. This thing was really reluctant to let people take away two thousand.
Of course, even if Dong Zhuo was willing, Cao Ang wouldn't want it.
If he picks other troops, they can still be used after training. But if he picks Dong Zhuo's direct line troops, can he command them?
Even if he could command, Xiliang's troops would probably be filled with Dong Zhuo's men. He would be hampered in everything he wanted to do, and he would also be coerced into doing things according to Dong Zhuo's requirements.
The gain outweighs the loss.
"I hope Ming Gong can prepare all the food, grass, military pay, and the assembly of various weapons and armor required to launch the army. This is the last condition."
Regarding the last condition, Dong Zhuo agreed to it easily and happily.
Not a problem at all!
Now he has the whole of Luoyang, and he has plenty of money and food. If he slips some through his fingers, it will be enough for the army.
What's more, this is the right thing to do. It's impossible for someone to lead troops on an expedition. Others have to find ways to get food and grass by themselves. Is it possible to grab it?
…
The three conditions are complete.
Dong Zhuo patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.
"Zixiu, the military talisman seal letter will be delivered to your house tomorrow. All major events from now on will depend on you!"
…
Thanks to "Hatsune-Miku" for the 100-point reward, the boss will be forcibly kissed tomorrow!
Thanks to the three bosses of "Legends are always the past", "Han Mu Qing丶" and "20211201004605629" for their monthly votes. I wish the bosses will go out and pick up the money tomorrow!
