Under the fire, the once majestic and magnificent palace was reduced to scorched earth. Finally, we found a relatively well-preserved palace. After a brief cleanup by the coalition soldiers, the princes from all walks of life gathered here under the leadership of the alliance leader Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, picked up a wine glass and smiled at the princes below: "Everyone, this time we joined forces to defeat Dong Zhuo's army. Dong Zhuo fled west like a bereaved dog. This battle can be said to be a success. It’s more than half done. For our victory, please drink this cup to the full!”
"please!"
The princes picked up the wine in their cups and drank it all in one gulp, and Yuan Shao was very good at stirring up the atmosphere. Except for a few people who still had clear eyes, most of the princes were beaming with joy, congratulating each other constantly, and completely forgetting about this time. The purpose is to save the emperor.
"Everyone is really in a good mood. I wonder if you killed Dong Zhuo or rescued the emperor. Is it worth holding a celebration banquet here?" At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the hall. Although it seemed calm, In fact, he suppressed endless anger.
Looking at Cao Mengde, who was pale, disheveled and in a sorry state, all the princes realized that Cao Cao might have suffered a defeat and bowed their heads in silence.
Yuan Shao was also a little embarrassed, but as the leader of the alliance, he had to stand up and say something. So Yuan Shao was surprised and said, "Looking at Meng De's injuries, he must have returned to the court after a fierce fight. Hahaha, I wonder what the situation is? Has Meng De defeated the Xiliang army and killed the Dong thief?" party?"
Cao Cao ignored Yuan Shao's words and directly picked up a glass of wine and drank it in gulps. Then he gasped, "I didn't win. On the contrary, not only did I not win, I also lost miserably, very miserably!"
Knowing that Cao Cao was really defeated, the princes all looked at each other in shock.
Seeing the expressions of the princes, Cao Cao continued, "Cao led his troops to pursue the Xiliang Army at night. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by tens of thousands of Xiliang Army soldiers. Cao Cao was outnumbered and suffered more than half of his casualties. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of his soldiers to save him, I would have died. He was killed by Dong Zhuojun's sword!"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, all the princes were speechless. Yuan Shao's expression also became heavy, and he said in admiration, "Meng De is chasing him alone. We are a role model. Even though we are defeated, we are still honored. Let me give Meng De a drink!"
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Cao Cao laughed, making Yuan Shao very embarrassed. After a while, Cao Cao spoke, "I also have something from the bottom of my heart that I want to say to you."
Cao Cao first looked around the princes, and without waiting for the princes to respond, his eyes finally rested on Yuan Shao, took a deep breath, and then shouted to himself, "A common man is a fool, and he has no plans!"
After Cao Cao finished shouting, he strode out of the palace, waved his hand, and took away not a single cloud, leaving only a group of princes who continued to sit in the palace with livid faces.
Although the other princes were angry in their hearts, their faces remained calm. But Yuan Shu, who had always been arrogant, couldn't bear it anymore. He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said angrily, "What does Cao Mengde mean? He was greedy for utilitarianism and suffered a big defeat, but he blamed us. In my opinion, Cao Cao is the biggest A common man! A fool!"
Yuan Shu's words seemed to open up the chatter box among the princes, and they all denounced Cao Cao's disrespectful promotion.
Sun Jian looked at the ugly faces of the princes with cold eyes, then stood up from the table and said to Yuan Shao: "Leader Yuan, everyone, I am a little sick from the battle in Wentai earlier, so I have to say goodbye."
Although Sun Jian did not fall into the trap like Cao Cao, his situation was actually not much better than that of Cao Cao. In this battle, Sun Jian was the vanguard and fought at the front, so that his soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Even the general Huang Xin, who was known as the three mountains, also died on the battlefield.
But now, when Sun Jian saw the ugly faces of these princes, he felt tired in his heart. Therefore, seeing Cao Mengde leaving, Sun Jian couldn't help but want to retreat.
In this life, with Li Xiang here, Sun Jian would have no chance to obtain the imperial seal. Therefore, his departure was very peaceful, without any twists and turns, and all the princes just pretended to stay.
After Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the next person who wanted to leave was Zhu Yuanzhang of Wu County. Zhu Yuanzhang participated in the discussion against Dong this time, firstly to increase his reputation, and secondly, to observe the princes of the world up close. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang's goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay any longer. What's more, there is still Hong Xiuquan waiting for him to solve.
Looking at the princes present, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but show a hint of contempt on his face. Although there were many princes fighting against Dong Lijun, there were only a few who really deserved his attention.
At the same time, when looking at Tao Qian, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but linger a little longer. During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had discovered something interesting.
Thinking of this, an inexplicable smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. Maybe there will be profitable opportunities in the future!
After these people, the first person to propose leaving was none other than Yuan Shu. With the Imperial Seal in hand, Yuan Shu has been very restless in his heart during this time, and he can't wait any longer.
Yuan Shu can't wait to return to Runan. Next, he will continue to expand his territory and accumulate strength. When it is almost time, he can proclaim himself emperor. Now Yuan Shu has even thought about his future country name, the country name is "Dacheng", the reign name is "Zhongxing", and the Zhong Dynasty.
Next is Liu Bei. There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Qingzhou. Looking at the current situation, this matter of begging the director may end in vain. Therefore, Liu Bei also began to think about those anti-king things in Qingzhou. If he never goes back, Liu Bei will always have some worries in his heart.
With these people taking the lead, in just half a month, the originally aggressive coalition of more than 20 princes all found reasons to leave. Nowadays, only Li Xiang and other princes remain in Luoyang.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task of occupying Luoyang. You will be rewarded with a dynasty summoning card.
The dynasty summoning card will randomly select 5 to 8 dynasty forces from history that have not completed the unification. Each force will select 5 to 10 talents. The host can get one talent from each force, and the rest will be randomly invested. to various forces including the host.
Note that among the talents obtained by the host, half are chosen by the host and half are randomly selected by the system, and dynasty summoning cards are not included in the balance range. "
With the prompt of this system sound, it also marked that the mighty princes' war against Dong finally came to an end! ! !
