Yuan Shao has become the governor of Bohai. Cao Cao feels that time is not waiting for him, and he can no longer stay in Luoyang...
On this day, King Situ invited all the old ministers of the late emperor to the birthday banquet. As a descendant of the eunuch, Cao Cao was certainly not invited. But Cao Cao knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for finally came!
Question: How can the world know about Cao Cao as quickly as possible?
Answer: Bring Situ Gong Wang Yun's seven-star sword to assassinate Dong Xiangguo!
Of course, this is what Cao Cao said to the outside world, and the real situation is actually like this. After Cao Cao seduced the seven-star sword handed down from Wang Situ's family, he made a special trip to offer it to Dong Zhuo and Dong Xiangguo. The Prime Minister was very satisfied with this sword and asked his adopted son Lu Bu to pick out a Xiliang sweat-blooded horse for Cao Cao. The best swordsman in the world, Wang Yue, and the best general in the world were not aware of the slightest murderous intention approaching Dong Zhuo. It can be seen that Cao Cao really has no murderous intention at all, and he is purely here to deliver the sword...
Cao Cao went out for a walk on the pretext of testing the horse, but there was no one around during the walk. Originally, Dong Zhuo was very optimistic about Cao Cao, thinking that this boy was coming to defect to him, and he planned to stay for a meal. From now on, he would become one of Dong Xiangguo's own. But he waited until he didn't come back, and then Dong Zhuo realized that something was wrong. Let people check it out, good boy, Cao Cao just rode the bloody horse that Dong Zhuo just gave him and ran away. It didn't matter that he ran away by himself. He kept telling the gatekeepers that he was working for Dong Zhuo. .
Dong Zhuo had never suffered such a shame and humiliation in his life. The old man was swayed by a fledgling boy. The seven-star sword he just got was no longer favourable, and he was no longer happy playing with women...
"I have an order to capture Cao Cao: those who capture him will be rewarded with thousands of gold, and will be granted the title of marquis of ten thousand households. Anyone who harbors him will be punished with the same crime."
Others might just tolerate it, but Dong Zhuo couldn't tolerate it and wouldn't tolerate it. Knowing that Cao Cao was just trying to gain his reputation, Dong Zhuo had to kill Cao Cao.
Dong Zhuo was like this, and Lu Bu himself was not much better: I personally picked a horse for you, and you ran away on the bloody horse I picked. What do you think this is, humiliating Lu Bu?
This was the first official meeting between Qisha, Pojun, and Greedy, and the process was quite unfriendly. But no matter what, Sha Po Lang finally gathered together:
You Xing Qi Sha is the thief in troubled times - Dong Zhuo;
There is a general who breaks the army, and he is the general of Zongheng - Lu Bu;
There is a shining star, a greedy wolf, and a deceitful man - Cao Cao!
The gathering of Sha Po Lang would have a fatal impact on the Han Empire. After Cao Cao returned to his hometown, he spent all his wealth and began to recruit troops. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, forged three official documents and distributed them to various prefectures and counties, stating Dong Zhuo's crimes, calling for an army to attack Dong Zhuo, and restoring Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, to the throne.
Originally, Yuan Shao had forgotten about Liu Xie, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty. In Dong Zhuo's eyes, only the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty's mother, Queen He, was pretty good. Ever since he killed Queen He, Dong Zhuo had ignored the young emperor of the Han Dynasty for a long time. As a result, someone called for rebellion in the name of Liu Xie. Dong Zhuo listened to what Li Ru said and directly gave Liu Xie, who was fifteen years old, poisoned wine.
As expected of the Seven Kills, Dong Zhuo basically killed everything that could and could not be killed. The loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, the late emperor and the empress, the deposed emperor Liu Xie, and even the dead Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong were dug up with a hoe. If Empress He dies, she must be buried, and if she is buried together with the late emperor, she must be dug up. So Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong and his son Han Shao Emperor Liu Xie became the two most miserable emperors in the Han royal family. Only one dragon robe was left in the dig, and the rest of the treasures were all It entered the pocket of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army.
It has to be said that Dong Zhuo's approach can be regarded as starting the style of simplicity in the Han Empire. When Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo digging, he dug too. He dug to benefit the world...
Chaos, complete chaos. Even the emperor can be killed, there is nothing else that Dong Zhuo dare not do!
Cao Mengde issued a proclamation calling on all princes in the world to resist. The eighteen princes responded to form an alliance one after another, and Yuan Shao, who came from a well-known family, was elected as the leader of the alliance. The eighteen princes are:
Later generals: Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Prefect Kong Niao, Yanzhou Prefect Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin , Prefect of Beihai Kong Rong, Prefect of Guangling Zhang Chao, Prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan, Prefect of Shangdang Zhang Yang, Marquis of Wucheng Changsha Prefect Sun Jian, Marquis of Qixiang Bohai Prefect Yuan Shao, Xiaoqi Colonel Cao Cao, Xiliang Prefect Ma Teng, Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian!
...
"Eighteen princes? They're just a bunch of pigs and dogs!" Dong Zhuo really looked down on these eighteen princes. He had two top counselors, Wen You and Wen He, as well as Lu Bu's adopted son Fengxian. In addition, the 200,000 Xiliang army, 50,000 Bingzhou army, and 80,000 imperial guards are just decorations.
Dong Zhuo was crazy enough, but Lu Bu was even crazier: "Bu alone is enough!"
"I have Fengxian, so I can rest easy!" But Dong Zhuo liked this kind of Lu Bu. This was the most powerful general in the world that he valued.
Just when Lu Bu thought that the Bingzhou Army was in the lead, Lu Bu wanted to teach the generals in the world who was the real boss...
Hua Xiong was Dong Zhuo's favorite general, and he was also the best general in Xiliang. However, there was no comparison between him as the best general in Xiliang and Lu Bu as the best general in Bingzhou. Obviously, Hua Xiong is also very aware of this matter: "There is no need to kill a chicken with an ox's knife. It doesn't take much effort for the Duke of Ting to come in person. Let me, Hua Xiong, cut off the heads of these princes and give them to the lord!"
Only the true direct descendants of Xiliang can call Dong Zhuo lord. No matter how capable Hua Xiong is, Dong Zhuo still trusts him: "Li Su, Hu Zhen, Zhao Cen!"
The three of them came out: "The general will be here!"
"General Hua Xiong will be our Xiliang vanguard general, and the three of you will be our lieutenants. We will command 50,000 troops to show off the power of our army!"
"promise!"
Li Ru and Jia Xu did not believe that the coalition of princes could succeed. As long as there were no problems with the lord Dong Zhuo, the battle would be as stable as Mount Tai. The eighteen princes elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Yuan Shao was ambitious and talented, and this was one of them. The eighteen princes were not united. From the beginning, each prince had the intention of preserving his own strength, and was just a mess.
Li Ru was already considering for his father-in-law Dong Zhuo which prince it would be better to kill first. Jia Xu was known to have insight into people's hearts, and Jia Xu's civil servant spirit was closely linked to Lu Bu. Just now, Jia Xu had a slight feeling of the Lord's adopted son's displeasure. It's just that Jia Xu didn't pay much attention to it and just regarded it as an ordinary thing. Dong Zhuo has always had the final say on matters like vanguard generals in the army. Today is no different from usual...
But Jia Xu was just a civil servant, not a general. What he didn't understand was that since Lu Bu became famous, he must be the vanguard in battle. This was the first time in his life that Lu Bu was left aside.
So, what does Lu Bu think?
It's nothing, Lu Bu felt that Dong Zhuo's adoptive father suddenly didn't look so bad, that's all: his personal safety was guaranteed by the sword god Wang Yue, and Hua Xiong was responsible for invading enemies. In this case, what do you need Lu Bu to do!
