Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

Chapter 97

Yuan Shao's plan to establish a new king came to naught. Not only Cao Shuo rejected his suggestion, but also Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian and others all rejected it.

It is obviously inappropriate to establish another new monarch now. Yuan Shao really took great pains in order to gain power.

On April 190, [-], Gao Shun, the prefect of Hanoi County, and Chen Qun, the chief minister, came to Xindu secretly.

"The last general, Gao Shun, has met the lord!"

"Your official, Chen Qun, have seen the lord!"

"You don't need to be too polite. I don't know if the two came to Xindu secretly. What's the matter?"

Gao Shun explained:

"My lord, a plague broke out in Hanoi County, but according to my previous reminder, I have taken isolation measures, and the medicinal materials given by my lord are also very effective, but the plague in Hanoi has spread to Hedong County."

"Marquis Wen wants to buy medicinal materials from me, but his subordinates can't make up their minds, so they specially go with Mr. Chen to meet the lord for every letter."

Cao Shuo glanced at Zhen Jiang beside him, and ordered:

"Jiang'er, prepare me a thousand medicines to treat the plague!"

"promise!"

Cao Shuo said seriously: "It's okay to provide medicinal materials to my father-in-law, but I don't give them away for free. This thousand copies is considered a conditional gift."

Gao Shun hurriedly asked, "What conditions?"

"Let him send someone to Hongnong County to help me promote it, and say that only I, Jizhou, have the prescription to cure the plague, and I can cooperate with anyone."

"Including Dong Zhuo?"

Gao Shun looked at Cao Shuo in surprise.

"Ok!"

Chen Qun said in admiration: "My lord is sympathetic to the common people, this is the honor of the common people in the world!"

Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said: "You have set up several medical centers along the Yellow River in Hanoi County. We can provide medical treatment to people in other states and counties for free, but there are conditions. Hanoi County has been suffering from wars all year round, and I transferred a lot of them a while ago. people, so they need to settle in Hanoi County."

"My subordinate understands!"

Chen Qun admired Cao Shuo's idea very much. This is a disguised form of plundering population. Not only can he cure his illness, but he can also get land in Hanoi County, and it will not let these people complain. .

"I just brewed a batch of wine here, you can take it home and taste it, if you think it's good, let my father-in-law help me promote it!"

"liquor?"

The two looked surprised, but they thought about the relationship between the lord and the Zhen family, and then they figured it out. It turned out that the lord wanted the goods of the Zhen family to enter Bingzhou and Sizhou.

"I will wait and do my best!"

It doesn't matter what they sell, anyway, if the Zhen family is rich, the lord will have money, and if the lord is rich, their treatment will be improved.

This is a good thing related to their own interests. They must do everything possible to pave the way for the Zhen family.

After sending Gao Shun and Chen Qun away, Cao Shuo started to get busy again.

He believes that his formula will not cause any problems. Hanoi County has already tested it and it is 100% effective.

Just waiting for Dong Zhuo to come to the door, this time he must make double compensation for his loss in Luoyang.

Chang'an City!

Dong Zhuo summoned Wen Wu, his subordinates, to discuss how to deal with the plague that appeared near Chang'an.

"Li Ru, you should quickly think of a solution. The plague in Chang'an has been around for less than half a month, and people are panicking now."

Dong Zhuo now regrets that these people were moved here, which made him burnt out, so don't treat them, these people make trouble every day, and they may infect the army.

Let's treat it, he doesn't have a prescription for immediate effect, he can only use a lot of medicinal materials to keep some people's lives alive.

But this is not the way, if it goes on for a long time, sooner or later, I will be dragged to death by them.

Li Ru replied: "In the past few days, I heard that there were also plagues in Hedong County and Hanoi County, but they were able to cure them, and Hanoi County set up free treatment points along the Yellow River."

"free?"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested, "Hurry up and let these bastards heal!"

Li Ru hurriedly persuaded: "But they have conditions!"

"What conditions?"

"You must settle in Hanoi County, and they will treat you for free!"

Dong Zhuo said disdainfully: "If you settle down, you can settle down. These bastards make trouble for me all day long. I get annoyed when I see it."

"Xiangguo, if the people all go to Hanoi County, won't our reputation in the hearts of the people be ruined?"

Li Ru is really convinced by Dong Zhuo's ideas. Dong Zhuo loves talents, but he has a huge shortcoming, that is, he must obey his wishes.

"Hey, what should we do then? Li Su, why don't you go to Hedong County and ask my son Fengxian for the prescription?"

Li Su wondered: "Xiangguo, if Marquis Wen wanted to give the formula, he would have already given it."

Li Ru said: "I heard that Lu Bu has no prescriptions, and all his medicinal materials are purchased from Jizhou. There are rumors that Cao Shuo in Jizhou has a cure for the plague."

"what?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes widened with a look of incredulity.

Why is this Cao Shuo again, he wiped out his flying bear army, and he hasn't troubled him yet, but now he wants to ask himself to ask him for help, how is this possible.

Fan Chou suggested: "Xiangguo can use Lu Bu to buy medicinal materials for treating the plague."

"Hmph, I think Cao Shuo probably created this plague on purpose."

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, there is a plague in his side, Cao Shuo just has a special medicine, if it has nothing to do with Cao Shuo, it is impossible.

Li Ru persuaded: "Xiangguo, no matter whether this plague has anything to do with Cao Shuo or not, we can only find a way to get a special medicine right now, and then we can think about other things. Once the plague spreads to the army, our army will be in danger!"

Dong Zhuo thinks about it too, he can only eat the dumb one first, and then deal with Cao Shuo when he recovers.

"Li Su, go to Hedong County and ask Lu Bu if he can help us buy some special medicines to treat the plague."

"promise!"

Li Su left with a depressed face, why did such a 'good thing' happen to him.

Li Ru continued: "Xiangguo, I heard that Yuan Shao has recently colluded with other princes and wants to establish a new king!"

"What? That bastard Yuan Shao wants to rebel?"

Dong Zhuo glared at Li Ru angrily, if Yuan Shao's treachery succeeds, then what's the point of Liu Xie in his hand?

The princes of the Eighteenth Routes used themselves to abolish Liu Bian as an excuse to attack themselves, and now they want to establish a new king.

How can they be loyal to the Han Dynasty? They are obviously fighting for their own interests.

It seems that only when they proclaim themselves emperors can they stop.

"Li Ru, what do you think will happen to them if I become emperor?"

"This……"

Li Ruben wanted to dissuade him, but he knew Dong Zhuo's character very well, so he certainly hadn't thought about it for a day or two. If he tried to dissuade him rashly, he would probably be blamed by Dong Zhuo.

"Why, you don't agree?"

Li Ru hurriedly explained: "Xiangguo's proclaiming the emperor is a great thing for me. How could I object to it? It's just that the time is not right now, and proclaiming the emperor rashly may attract the princes to crusade again."

Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, "When will the time be right?"

Chapter 98 Sun Ce Comes to Buy War Horses Again

"Xiangguo, the princes outside the pass are attacking each other."

"Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao. His son Sun Ce inherited the family business, but Liu Biao took the foundation and switched to Yuan Shu. The Sun family is no longer worried."

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and Liu Yu attacked each other, and Liu Yu lost a large area of ​​land, and he is at the end of his battle."

"Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou are making yellow scarves again. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Dai and others are busy chasing thieves. At this moment, when the army is strong and the morale is high, we must not force Liu Xie to give way at this time."

Dong Zhuo suddenly thought of Cao Shuo, and hurriedly asked, "What is Cao Shuo doing?"

Li Ru talked for a long time, but he didn't mention Cao Shuo. Could it be that this guy is hiding in Jizhou like a turtle?

Li Ru explained: "Cao Shuo has been staying in Jizhou recently. He didn't let his army and horses cross the Yellow River to conquer the Yellow Turban bandits south of the Yellow River, and he didn't go north to capture Liu Yu's territory."

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes, this Cao Shuo was getting more and more difficult to deal with, he blamed himself for being soft-hearted and didn't kill this guy, otherwise there would be no such trouble.

"How many troops does Cao Shuo have now?"

Dong Zhuo felt an inexplicable fear when he thought of the fighting power of Cao Shuoxuan's army. This guy was the first one to make him suffer successively.

I really don't know how his troops are trained to be able to stand on horseback and shoot arrows. Although his flying bear army can barely do it, the number is only [-].

When Cao Shuo moved his capital, he actually had [-] cavalry, and most of them could shoot arrows on horseback. This is definitely a problem.

"When Cao Shuo took over the Yellow Turban Army, he already had 40 to [-] soldiers, but these were untrained peasants, and they were basically useless. He should have selected some elite soldiers from among these soldiers to form the later Xuanjia Army."

Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes at Li Ru, and asked sharply, "Then how many soldiers does he have?"

"About 15 people!"

"what?"

Dong Zhuo was terrified, this guy actually has so many soldiers?

"Xiangguo, with the support of the Zhen family behind Cao Shuo, these soldiers and horses are not a problem at all."

Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Hmph, that little girl Zhen Jiang dared to reject this old man, I'm really impatient."

At the beginning, he gave Zhen Jiang a letter of appointment, but Zhen Jiang ignored him. If he remembered correctly, Cao Shuo had only left Luoyang at that time.

It seems that the two have colluded for a long time, otherwise Zhen Jiang would not have followed Cao Shuo to Hejian.

What a couple of dogs and men, dare to play the old man!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Cao Shuo, who was far away in Xindu, sneezed more than a dozen times.

"Husband, the water in the tub has been sloshed by you. If you don't go out, you're going to catch a cold!"

Diao Chan lied weakly by the bucket, looking gloating.

"Why did I catch a cold? Someone must be thinking about me behind my back. I'll check one by one tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, just as Cao Ang got up, Zhao Yu ran to Cao Shuo's residence.

"My lord, you have an old friend visiting!"

"Old man?"

Cao Shuo was stunned, why did he come from an old friend, could it be that he was thinking of me?

"General Cao, long time no see!"

Gong Qiucheng came to Cao Shuo's study with a smile on his face, and Cao Shuo's face was instantly gloomy.

Cao Shuo asked in a deep voice, "What is Mr. Gongchou doing here?"

He was very curious. Sun Jian had been dead for more than a month. According to Jin Yiwei's secret report, Sun Ce had agreed to reconcile with Liu Biao. After getting Sun Jian's body, he led his Sun family army to evacuate Changsha.

Yuan Shu heard that Sun Ce was homeless, and he was greedy for the jade seal in their hands, so he took Sun Ce in. It stands to reason that Sun Ce should not come to him to buy war horses again.

"My lord wants to buy a war horse from General Cao!"

"Didn't I tell you that you need to exchange materials, and you haven't sent me Sun Quan so far. Do you still have any credibility?"

Gongqiu explained embarrassingly: "My lord's current strength is limited, and he has taken refuge in Yuan Shu's account. Apart from working for him, he has no real power at all. He cannot repay the 10,000+ stone grain and grass."
