Outside Luoyang City.

50 princes' coalition troops were temporarily stationed.

The surviving people around him gathered around to beg for food.

The prosperous imperial capital was burned to the ground, the soldiers were filled with anger, and many shed tears.

The mood of the eighteen princes is even heavier. This place is full of memories of their past, but they have been ravaged to such an extent by national thieves!

in the big account.

Gao Gan shed tears, "Uncle, I found... a large number of cremated skeletons in our family's mansion. I also heard from the people that the first place where the fire broke out was our Yuan family."

Yuan Shao's body was shaken violently, and his heart was filled with grief and anger. He couldn't even distinguish the bones of his father, uncle, and clan members.

"Is there any news about Yuan Tan?" Yuan Shaoleng asked.

"No."

At this time, various princes came.

a while.

Yuan Shao slapped the case and banged it, "Beast! Worse than a beast! I thought that even Dong Zhuo couldn't do such a heinous thing!"

Cao Cao was also filled with anger, "Everyone, please don't stay here for too long. It's best to send your troops to pursue us as soon as possible!"

The princes looked at each other.

If Cao Cao had the final say, there would be no problem at all.

However, there are eighteen princes here, and they all have their own ideas.

Cao Cao was filled with indignation, "Who wants to go with me!"

"I am willing to go!" Sun Jian stood up.

Others looked at Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao: "Benchu, what did you say?"

Yuan Shao felt a sudden pain in his heart as he thought of his son.

Yuan Tan is a lively young man, but Yuan Shao never believed that he was ill.

At this moment, I was suddenly frightened, maybe Yuan Tan was waiting for the expedition, he was so good at stealing!

Yuan Shao thought of this and solemnly said: "Meng De, don't be upset, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with the performance of the princes and said coldly: "My lords, Dong Zhuo is moving west with his holy cavalry and hundreds of thousands of people. The troops must be scattered. It is the time when the world is decided in a battle. It is a rare opportunity. Who are you?" Opinion?"

At this moment, the mentality of the princes began to change. How could they not consider their own interests? Now that the troops have left their respective forces for a long time, if someone else takes the opportunity to replace them, they will immediately become homeless!

Moreover, if he wins, he will also make wedding clothes for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Therefore, even if they agreed that what Cao Cao said was reasonable, no one responded.

Sun Jian laughed mockingly, "What I have seen and heard today is a shame! Since you are not willing to continue the crusade, what is the use of staying here? Wentai has to take a step forward and leave!"

When Cao Cao saw that no one was trying to persuade him to stay, he became even more furious. But then I thought about it, if the princes didn't send troops, why didn't Yuan Shao send troops? He has the most to gain from winning.

Is it!

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Benchu, where is your eldest son?"

Yuan Shao was also thinking about this matter. Could it be that Cao Cao also saw that the traitor wanted to steal the family!

He looked dazed for a while, "I don't know."

Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and after observing his words and expressions, his brows became even tighter. Could it be that Yuan Benchu ​​has already compromised with Yuan Tan, and the two of them want to abandon their alliance and work together to achieve a great cause!

"It's not enough to make a plan!" Cao Cao thought of this and overturned the case, and strode away.

Cao Cao returned to his camp and immediately beat drums to gather his generals.

"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, why are you here!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were there.

"Lord, the two of us are here to escort the food and grass."

The arrival of the two family tiger generals gave Cao Cao more confidence to deal with the situation, and he expressed his thoughts, "The Yuan family and his son want to pursue a great cause. They can hide it from others but cannot hide it from me. My Cao family wants to replace the Yuan family. It must be done.”

"My lord, who knows what the conspiracy behind Yuan Tan's disappearance is. And Dong Zhuo's move to the capital will definitely cut off the army." Xia Houyuan reminded.

Cao Cao laughed, and everyone wondered why he was so confident.

Cao Cao: "I have been in Luoyang for many years and I know a small road. If our army goes into battle lightly, we can reach Hangu Pass in advance. We will ambush Dong Zhuo by surprise, and we will leave after rescuing the Holy Driver."

If the Cao family can rescue His Majesty, they can exclude the Yuan family from the court.

The Yuan family will come to an end, and it will be our Cao family who will be in charge of the government in the future.

So don't worry about other people, this is a battle that determines the future of the Cao family! "

When everyone heard this, their morale was high and they looked in admiration.

Let's just say, how could the lord pursue blindly? It turns out there is a plan involved.

And in the alliance's big account.

Yuan Shao believed that Yuan Tan had stolen the house, and he hoped to return to Bohai as soon as possible. "Gentlemen, we were supposed to discuss important matters, but even Mengde left. It's really outrageous. We have to go back for the time being to discuss the matter in the long run."

Everyone nodded. Cao Cao and Sun Jian were blamed for leaving first, and they could go back to stabilize the local separatist regime. Why not do it.

at this time.

"Report..., Master Cao has ordered all [-] troops in his headquarters to pursue Dong Zhuo."

Everyone: "!!!"

……

Three days later.

At Chaoge Yellow River Ferry, Yuan Tan watched the ferry carrying the two elders of the Yuan family and his clan members go away.

When he turned around, it was Zhang Liao Dianwei and a thousand warriors.

"Eldest Young Master, what should we do next?" Zhang Liao asked.

Yuan Tan said: "The people who rescued yesterday provided a small road. Let's catch up with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible to prevent him from being unable to enter after he retreats into seclusion."

So Yuan Tan led his troops on the journey.

Another day passed.

Er Gouzi and two guards were crawling on a high slope in a deserted field. Below, Cao's army of [-] men, with their heads in their mouths and their horses bound in hooves, was advancing quickly and silently.

"It's actually Cao Cao!" Ergouzi didn't expect such a major discovery, "You continue to monitor, I will report this matter to the eldest master immediately!"

rear.

"What, you said it was Cao Cao, are you sure?"

Yuan Tan was very surprised when he heard the news. He had thought that Cao Cao would come after him. After all, it was recorded in history, but he did not expect that he would come after him like this.

Perhaps it was his own appearance that influenced these historical figures and began to completely change history.

Ergouzi patted his chest and assured, "I am absolutely sure that all the princes are above seven feet tall. Cao Cao is six feet tall. He is black and short. He has a big beard and wears a red robe. He speaks in a dignified and dignified manner. Looks out of place."

Yuan Tan was speechless. The image of Cao Cao suddenly appeared in his words. He didn't expect Ergouzi to have such a talent for description.

No matter what Cao Cao is thinking at this moment, his purpose is self-evident.

Zhang Liao said happily: "My eldest son, Cao Cao must have come to rescue him. Why not reveal your identity, join forces and help him?"

These words are reasonable, but Yuan Tan will not help his future enemies achieve great success. However, the current situation is complicated and there is a dilemma between good and evil. If you don't deal with these words properly, you may lose your loyalty.

So he said calmly: "We don't do this in anyone else's hands, history will be written by ourselves!"

Zhang Liao was extremely shocked. Such was the eldest son’s confidence!

The eldest son is so proud!

Zhang Liao knew that it was not good to deal with Cao Cao like this, but his heart was on fire! It's on fire!

Yuan Tan added: "Cao Cao broke away from the princes and came alone. It's clear what his intentions are. How can we allow him to become a monster! This time, destroying him will be a close-up move to defect to Dong Zhuo!"

He was worried about how to become Dong Zhuo's confidant, didn't this come to his door!

Zhang Liao nodded enthusiastically. As a little recruiter, he wanted to do so much, so he just followed the eldest son. Zhang Liao's thoughts of the villain's success surged out of his heart!

Yuan Tan opened his eyes and found that Zhang Liao's loyalty had not dropped, but had increased a bit, reaching 91. The loyalty of the soldiers under the new command also generally increased.

I am delighted.
