Regarding my son's words.
Cao Cao didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he smiled angrily and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about here? From what I see from this person's appearance and his words and deeds, he is probably a loyal person."
"Now that I have joined Meng Gao's command, how can I switch to others at will? Besides, being a father is just a daydream and cannot be done seriously."
In fact, Cao Ang is not joking.
It is not difficult to conquer Zang Hong, as long as you grasp one key point.
That is to hold Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao was kind to Zang Hong, and he always promoted him and put him in important positions when he was in the county. However, Zang Hong was a man of friendship, so he was very grateful for this.
Therefore, no matter how high or far Zang Hong flies, his thread is always tied to Zhang Chao.
You must know that Zang Hong was even willing to fight Yuan Shao for Zhang Chao. Even if he died in Yuan Shao's hands in the end, he never gave in at all.
It can be seen from this that Zhang Chao holds a high position in his heart.
In Cao Ang's view, as long as his father, Cao Cao, can tightly hold the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao together and prevent things like the Yanzhou rebellion from happening again, Zang Hong can do it with nothing more than a letter.
What's more, if Yuan Shao still has the ability to compete with him for people now, let's save his own team first. Cao Ang is no joke when he wields a hoe.
I've dug every corner for you!
After the father and son talked for a while.
Cao Cao was quite interested and turned his attention to the golden eagle squatting on Cao Ang's shoulder.
"Ang'er, where did you get such a majestic eagle?"
Cao Ang had been training this little guy every day in the past few days, but Cao Cao didn't take it seriously at all and just thought he was raising a pet.
And what happened today.
But it really made Lao Cao a little interested.
He couldn't tell the difference between an eagle and an eagle, so he just thought this thing was an eagle, so he asked this question.
Hear this.
Cao Ang couldn't help but scratch his chin.
He couldn't explain it clearly. There was no way he could say it was fished from the river.
So after thinking for a long time, Cao Ang could only shrug his shoulders and said rather perfunctorily.
"A gift from a friend!"
Cao Cao: "..."
"Did it come from Dong Zhuo again?"
The last time his son used this excuse to deal with himself, it was about the red rabbit horse.
Later it turned out that friend was Dong Zhuo.
If it were Dong Zhuo this time, then Cao Cao would have to sigh for it.
Dong Zhuo is also a loyal man!
However, when Cao Ang heard the word Dong Zhuo, he quickly denied it.
"Father, don't dare to talk nonsense!"
"What Dong Zhuo? I'm so unfamiliar!"
"He is a traitor that everyone can punish. I am a loyal man who protects the Han Dynasty. I have nothing to do with him."
"After Luoyang is conquered, I will be the first to chop off his head!"
Quite an exaggerated performance.
Cao Cao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
He shouldn't keep asking these questions. There are too many secrets about his son. If he starts to explore them, he won't be able to figure them out even in ten and a half months.
Too lazy to care about him.
…
Two days later.
Outside the west gate of Chenliu County.
Flags are flying, war drums are clanging.
Tens of thousands of troops gathered here, each in formation, everyone was neatly dressed. Just waiting for an order from above, they would rush towards Luoyang like tigers and wolves.
Countless flags fluttered in the wind, and the various words embroidered on them danced in the wind.
In front of their respective phalanxes were dozens of tall horses, all of which had tall men in their bodies, wearing armor and holding long soldiers.
It looks so majestic!
Looking down from the tower.
I felt that there was a dark area in front of me, stretching from the city gate to the distance, filled with the upright and motionless figures of soldiers.
Countless weapons shone with dazzling golden light under the bright red sun, and the strong murderous aura gathered in one place actually made the surrounding temperature seem to drop a lot.
And now on top of the city tower.
Cao Cao, the governor of Jiyin County, was scolding Fang Qiu and taking his final oath before dispatching troops, boosting the morale of the entire army.
He was full of emotion and impassioned, sternly counting the many evil deeds of the traitor Dong Zhuo, and loudly denouncing Dong Zhuo's countless atrocities.
Later, the list and identities of all the people with lofty ideals who were in Chenliu and participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo were announced.
It is worth mentioning that Cao Ang is even included in the list announced by Cao Cao.
This is not because Cao Cao was selfish and deliberately named his son to enhance Cao Ang's reputation.
It was entirely out of public interest. After all, Cao Ang was also a formal official appointed by the imperial court and had a rank.
Makes sense.
And after criticizing and reciting names.
is the most important link.
Oath!
I saw Cao Cao taking a step forward, suddenly pulling out the long sword from his waist, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the sky in the distance.
Finally, his voice was loud and almost roaring: "All our allies, let's work together...the emperor, the queen, the earth, the ancestors and the wise spirits, we all learn from the truth!"
As Cao Cao shouted the last words loudly.
Everyone in the audience was excited.
From the prefects and feudal lords to the generals and soldiers, everyone was happy and excited about it.
And following Cao Cao, they shouted the last few words loudly. Outside the west gate of Chenliu City, there was a scene of surging popularity and a rolling heat wave.
at this moment.
Everyone has the same idea, holding the same goal, forming the strongest alliance, and agreeing not to abandon each other.
Cao Ang mixed in the crowd.
While shouting along, he looked at the people on the left and right with a somewhat complicated expression.
I hope everyone can have a good ending.
But thinking about it, I don’t think there’s any problem.
After all, with me here, these people will be members of our Cao family in the future, and of course it will have a happy ending.
And after such a roar.
Cao Cao waved his sword again.
"The generals and generals of the three armed forces have heard the order and set off immediately!"
The whole army agreed with a roar.
The soldiers who were originally waiting in line below marched in the direction of Luoyang one after another under the leadership of their respective generals.
The war against Dong has officially begun!
The historical stage of the late Han Dynasty is also rapidly opening its curtain, and everything will take turns from now on!
…………
In fact, it was originally according to everyone's plan.
I still need to rest for a few more days before moving troops.
I just received the news just before.
Yuan Shao's army has left Jizhou, and together with Jizhou Mu Han Fu's troops, they are invincible and are invincible wherever they go.
Even before people arrive, the message will be sent out.
When the army arrived in Wude County, they encountered the troops of Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi. On the spot, the prefect Wang announced that he would raise volunteers to join the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
More than half of Hedong County defected.
It seems that in less than half a month, the army led by Yuan Shao can reach the previously agreed rendezvous point, namely Xingyang County.
And on the battlefield located on the southern front.
General Yuan Shu, who led his troops stationed in Nanyang County, and Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, advanced all the way north.
Sun Jian led a fierce force. He first forced Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, to death, and then beheaded Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, which was very majestic.
After meeting Yuan Shu in Luyang, they passed through half of Yingchuan County. Now they have led their troops to Jingxian County, and the next stop is Xingyang County.
It can be said that both the northern and southern fronts are ready to go.
Just waiting for the Eastern Front heroes with the most complicated forces and the largest number to arrive.
Therefore, Cao Cao couldn't wait to announce the dispatch of troops.
It seems that Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, also caught up.
If he comes a few days later.
I'm afraid we will miss the alliance army.
It was a bit embarrassing at that time.
…
Kaifeng County, Zhongmu County, Guancheng, Longcheng, and finally from Longcheng to Xingyang County.
This is the march route of the Eastern Front troops.
Apart from staying in Zhongmou County for three days, we didn't waste even a moment of time.
While staying in Zhongmu County, mainly when arriving here, a man named Ren Jun, leading hundreds of clan disciples, expressed his intention to join the Allied forces and participate in the battle against Dong.
How could Cao Cao and others chill the hearts of such loyal and loyal people?
Therefore, they waited here for a day and organized these hundreds of people into the Chinese army directly under Cao Cao. As for Ren Jun, he temporarily served as the leader of this small team and would be assigned duties after the crusade against Dong Zhuo was completed.
However, it was this day of waiting that unexpectedly yielded a surprising result.
In the evening.
The coalition army composed of Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, actually came hand in hand and also arrived at Zhongmu County.
At this time, the number of the entire Eastern Front Allied Forces instantly expanded to 50,000, becoming an extremely large team, which can be described as extremely powerful.
Just after joining these armies.
Cao Cao lost the right to command everyone. He could still only command several forces affiliated with the Chenliu Alliance.
After all, he didn't have much prestige in front of Qiao Mao and others. Even if he forced his orders, they wouldn't obey him.
And in the past few days while accompanying the army.
Cao Ang was finally addicted.
He recognized some characters who only existed in his memory and in history books.
Match these living characters with the cold characters in your mind.
This is a very exciting thing.
Whenever he sees a familiar historical figure, he analyzes his fate from a God's perspective and analyzes what will happen to him in the future.
Tsk!
What kind of experience is this?
For example, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, were two unlucky guys.
Don't look at it now that they are a pair of brothers.
It seems that in order to defeat Dong Zhuo's cause, he can shed his blood and give up all prejudices.
As a result, after the war against Dong ended, the two guys turned against each other not long after.
I don't know what it is for.
In short, Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao painfully, mobilized his army to attack Qiao Mao, and killed him.
Of course, Liu Dai didn't end well either.
In the future, he refused to listen to dissuasion and forcibly mobilized troops to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.
As a result, he lost his life.
It was precisely because he died on the battlefield against the Yellow Turban Army that he vacated the position of Yanzhou Governor. Cao Cao was later welcomed as the new Yanzhou Governor by Bao Xin and others.
History is so interesting.
…
What followed was nearly half a month of wind and rain, with more than 50,000 coalition troops working non-stop.
Along the way, apart from food supplies and military refreshments, there was no stop at all.
So hurry up and hurry up.
Finally, on the last day of March, we successfully arrived outside Xingyang County.
At this moment, outside Xingyang County.
Already surrounded by armies from all walks of life, the county town was surrounded by tents and flags all over the mountains and plains.
From time to time, you can see generals wearing various armors, riding their horses back and forth, conveying various military orders.
It looks like a large military base.
After the arrival of the Eastern Front Allied Forces.
It was even more crowded outside the city, and the number of troops had exceeded one hundred thousand, which was definitely an extremely terrifying number on the battlefield in the late Han Dynasty.
You must know that even if the Han Dynasty is divided into three kingdoms in the future, the offensive wars between them will rarely reach the level of more than 100,000.
What's more, Dong Zhuo still has more than 100,000 troops.
Therefore, it is now a super-scale war!
Speaking of which.
I have to marvel.
The two Yuan brothers are so terrifying!
Everyone has mustered at least 20,000 troops, and this is obviously not their upper limit.
It is worthy of being the top family in the late Han Dynasty.
The connections and influence of two children in the family can have such an effect if the strength of the entire family explodes.
I really don’t know if my surname is Liu or Yuan in this world.
In fact, Cao Ang was very confused about something.
There were two top aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty.
The Yang family of Hongnong and the Yuan family of Runan.
But it seems that I only saw the Runan Yuan family being active in the world, making all kinds of public appearances, and simply making everything happen.
What about the Yang family?
Is it because they are too low-key, or their focus is different from that of the Yuan family, or maybe they have never considered participating in the struggle for hegemony.
It's not known yet.
…
After setting up camp.
Cao Cao and others entered Xingyang County under the personal welcome of Yuan Shao, and held a grand dinner to welcome them.
At this moment, several waves of people have gathered in the county.
In addition to the two fronts of north and south and the four forces mentioned earlier, there are now also the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Niao, and the prefect of Hanoi, Wang Kuang.
As well as representing Fenwu General Gongsun Zan, Sima Liu Bei from another department came to participate in the battle against Dong, as well as his two powerful generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
besides.
They were some people who came in name but did not actually send a single soldier. They just sent a name to express their participation in the war and build up their momentum.
These people naturally hold back their opinions.
Anyway, at the dinner party.
All parties took their seats on the left and right one after another. Special personnel guided the seats, and dishes were served one after another on everyone's tables.
When Cao Ang entered the hall under the leadership of his father Cao Cao, the banquet had not yet begun.
But good wine, singing, dancing, and laughter.
They drank and drank together, looking very happy.
Cao Cao is currently the governor of Jiyin County. In addition, he has a close relationship with Yuan Shao and is the leader of the Chenliu Allied Forces. His status can be said to be quite high.
Therefore, the seat is arranged at the front on the left hand side.
Just as Cao Ang was following Cao Cao along the way.
Suddenly, I noticed three men standing at the bottom of the seats, looking a little at a loss.
It seemed that there was no place for them at the table.
Cao Ang glanced briefly.
The characteristics of the three people were very obvious, which made Cao Ang understand in his heart.
He immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"Why are these strong men standing here, why don't they sit down and drink?"
…
Monthly ticket recommendation ticket
Unexpectedly, there is another chapter!
Originally I only had 8,000 updates today, but I really couldn’t bear to stop the progress of 10,000 updates per day, so I took the fragmented time to write one chapter. Isn’t it too much to ask for a monthly vote?
Tomorrow's update will be a little later, but it won't stop!
