Three Kingdoms: before lying flat, dragging Zhao Yun to defect to Cao

"boom!"

Cao Cao lifted the curtain and looked at Liu Bei angrily.

"Master Xuande, you third brother, have you passed the time?"

"I……"

Just as Zhang Fei was about to say something, Liu Bei quickly glared at him fiercely.

"Yide, don't you hurry up and pay Changping?"

The eldest brother has ordered so, even though Zhang Fei has a million unwillingness in his heart, he can only choose to apologize to Tong Fei at this time.

"Brother Tong Fei, I was wrong just now, and I hope you don't mind."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, who would care about you as an archer?"

"you!"

Zhang Fei's face turned even darker.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu also clenched their fists tightly. The issue of identity is the biggest pain in their bodies now, but Tong Fei has repeatedly emphasized that it is really annoying.

Cao Cao also looked at Tong Fei with a surprised expression, and then quickly realized.

Tong Fei is usually not such a "straight" person, so he hates this big-eared thief. Doesn't it show that he has 100% trust and loyalty to Cao Mengde?

Thinking of this, Boss Cao felt more at ease, and his protective nature broke out instantly.

I saw him staring at Liu Bei with displeasure and said:

"Master Xuande, you came to my tent without saying hello, isn't it a little too much?"

"Ah this!"

Liu Bei only realized later.

Yes, no matter what, now that Tong Fei and Zhao Yun are Cao Cao's subordinates, isn't this behavior of mine justifiably poaching?

In fact, big-eared thieves are also familiar with digging walls.

But the embarrassing thing is that he didn't dig this corner, and he even caused a lot of complaints, which is a lot of pain.

"General Meng De, I'm sorry, it's me, Meng Lang."

There was no way, Liu Bei could only apologize repeatedly, and finally took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei away in despair.

[Boss Cao is domineering, I really did not choose the wrong person. 】

Tong Fei's voice rang in Cao Cao's mind.

Hearing this, the smile on Cao Cao's face could no longer be restrained.

See, this is the charisma of me, Mr. Cao, who has finally been recognized by Tong Fei!

However, Tong Fei's next words almost choked Cao Cao to death.

[Unfortunately, Boss Cao still lacks the lessons of failure. He has not completely become a hero. He needs to fail again. 】

Hearing this, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched violently.

Mad, co-authoring Lao Tzu has to be defeated by many people?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Cao Cao finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked Tong Fei:

"Chang Ping, if our allied forces of princes take down Hulao Pass, what do you think Dong Zhuo will do?"

[What can I do, run away! 】

"The old thief Dong Zhuo is afraid of our army's front, so he will definitely retreat immediately.

This time, Tong Fei's inner voice was roughly the same as his verbal answer.

In fact, this is also the normal guess of the majority of princes.

If Hulao Pass is captured by the coalition of princes like Sishui Pass, Dong Zhuo will only be left with three ways: resistance, escape and surrender.

As long as he is not out of his mind, he will not choose to surrender to the Kwantung princes. Surrender is only a dead end.

If they resisted, even the two strongest checkpoints around Luoyang would be knocked down, which would be a devastating blow to the morale of the Xiliang army.

The only way left is to escape.

"It looks like I'm going to make preparations for chasing Dong Zhuo as soon as possible."

Cao Cao thought so in his heart.

However, when this idea appeared, he was taken aback for a moment.

So... this is the big defeat that Tong Fei said in his heart, the failure that he must experience?

[I'm afraid none of you would have imagined that when Dong Zhuo left, nothing would be left to you, only an empty city in ruins. 】

"boom!"

Like a thunderbolt, it hit Cao Cao's heartstrings hard.

Ruins, empty city, what does this mean?

Cao Cao felt surprised in his heart, but Tong Fei's expression did not change at all.

The burning of Luoyang not only represented Dong Zhuo's brutality, but also his unwillingness to leave power behind.

In fact, from the perspective of Dong Zhuo's forces, burning Luoyang and taking everything to Chang'an is of great benefit.

If you don't take anything and withdraw the army back to Chang'an, then Dong Zhuo will directly change from the controller of the central court to an ordinary frontier warlord.

The status of the two is not at the same level at all.

The forest of wine and meat is also something that Dong Zhuo is absolutely impossible to give up.

As for fame...

There wasn't much left of this thing Dong Zhuo, so it doesn't matter if it continues to be corrupted.

After the allied forces of the feudal lords captured Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo's life creed has become four words:

Just be happy.

Dong Zhuo was in no mood and time to take care of other messes.

It doesn't matter what Dong Zhuo doesn't care about.

The key is Cao Cao, now his heart is like 1000 million grass mud horses drifting by, messy in the wind...

Chapter 11 Angry Dong Zhuo, Prologue of Hulao Pass

Yes, Cao Cao never thought that Dong Zhuo would destroy Luoyang City.

And the word ruins, doesn't it mean...Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, has been destroyed and nothing is left?

Is this still available?

With all kinds of doubts in his arms, Cao Cao finally walked out of the tent in a daze.

Of course, Tong Fei didn't expect that Boss Cao became so panicked because he heard his voice. He thought Cao Cao was simply worried about the war.

Thinking of this, Tong Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

[Meng De is really a loyal person! 】

Cao Cao, who had just walked out of the tent, was almost shocked to the ground when he heard this.

He didn't know why Tong Fei would express such emotion.

If you really want to talk about the issue of loyal people, Cao Cao thinks that he is indeed quite loyal in front of civil servants and generals and Ren Qi, but in front of others, let's forget it.

……

Luoyang Xiangguo Mansion

Dong Zhuo, who had turned into a big fat mass and was almost bursting his seats, was panting heavily at the moment, angrily staring at the battle report sent from Sishui Pass.

"boom!"

Dong Zhuo kicked the table in front of him violently, but because his body was too bulky to move, he almost sprained his foot.

"hateful!"

"These Kwantung princes are all Xiaoxiao's generation, traitors!"

Dong Zhuo cursed angrily.

He is really angry.

In the allied army of the Kwantung lords, Wang Kuang, Han Fu, Zhang Yang and others were still the governors and county guards who were canonized by him personally.

Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others were comrades in arms who fought side by side during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past.

For the remaining Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, before Luoyang escaped, Dong Zhuo treated them well.

But each of them has now become the vanguard of the anti-Dong forces, do you think they are annoying?

Hearing Dong Zhuo's complaint, Li Ru in the first place let out a long sigh.

As Dong Zhuo's eldest son-in-law and chief military adviser, Li Ru witnessed Dong Zhuo's entire rise.

You may sometimes be surprised that the number of generals under Dong Zhuo's command is not small, but why are there so few civil servants?

This is due to Dong Zhuo's background and the foundation of his success.

When he was young, Dong Zhuo was one of the best athletes in Xiliang, and his muscular body was far from what he is now.

But, he came from a poor family, unlike Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who grew up with golden spoons in their mouths.

Dong Zhuo's starting point was just an ordinary frontier soldier.

Relying on his own efforts, he gradually climbed to the important position of the chief official of the border.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo cherishes everything he gets.

But no matter how hard he tried, it was nothing in the eyes of those aristocratic families, and they looked down on him at all.

None of the talented people in the aristocratic family is willing to take refuge under Dong Zhuo's command.

After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he also wooed these aristocratic families in various ways and gave them many benefits.

Han Fu, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and others belonged to the aristocratic family's disciples, and Dong Zhuo rewarded them in order to take care of the aristocratic family's face.

But he has done so many things, the aristocratic family still doesn't take him seriously.

Li Ru knew this better than anyone else.

At the beginning of entering Luoyang, Li Ru once persuaded Dong Zhuo.

But there is no way, Dong Zhuo is too persistent, eager to integrate into the family circle.

This feeling is like a nouveau riche in later generations, eager to be recognized by the upper class.

Even if you spend a lot of money, you will not hesitate.

But all of this finally came to an end at the moment when the allied forces of the princes, Suanzao Huimeng, announced the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Angry Dong Zhuo finally raised the butcher's knife to the aristocratic family, and many aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family were slaughtered by Dong Zhuo.

This approach seems to be Dong Zhuo's successful revenge on the family.

But in fact, Li Ru understood that what they did was within the expectations of the family.

The next-generation elite backbone of the family, similar to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Yi and others, had already left the sphere of influence controlled by Dong Zhuo and established their own separatist forces.

Now, the defeat at Sishui Pass seems to be the fault of Hua Xiong and the Xiliang army.

But why is it not Dong Zhuo's own problem?

The aristocratic family is constantly corrupting the morale of the Xiliang army, and Dong Zhuo is deeply trapped in the forest of wine and meat, unable to extricate himself.

But in the entire Xiliang army, there are very few people who understand this.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo's breath gradually calmed down, Li Ru suggested:

"Master Xiangguo, now that the Sishui Pass has been lost, we should strengthen the defense of Hulao Pass as soon as possible."

"Well, those damned Kanto princes, it seems that the only way is for my son to lead the army first."

When Dong Zhuo mentioned Lu Bu, the frown on his old face finally eased.
