The next day, Dong Zhuo sent someone to ask Jia Xu to discuss matters. But the servant came back alone. The servant told Dong Zhuo that Jia Xu had left Luoyang in the morning and kept all the things that Dong Zhuo gave, and did not take them away.

Dong Zhuo lost his spirit for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. But then Dong Zhuo showed his face and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! This Grand Master is not as good as Jia Wenhe!", so he did not send anyone to chase Jia Xu.

At this time, on the official road east of Luoyang, an inconspicuous carriage was driving slowly. Jia Xu was sitting in the carriage, feeling a little depressed. He thought that Jia Xu gave Dong Zhuo advice to Dong Zhuo to have the current situation, but after Dong Zhuo took power, he became increasingly reluctant to listen to advice. It seems that Dong Zhuo is not a person who accomplished great things. Sooner or later he will be ruined and die! But after leaving Dong Zhuo, where should Jia Xu go? Who can be the real hero who has fulfilled his life's ambitions?

Jia Xu suddenly thought of someone.

Since Jia Xu left, Dong Zhuo has become more and more arrogant and domineering. Many gentry officials have been imprisoned or even executed because they have a little words to him. Dong Zhuo has also placed close friends in the court, and the entire court has been completely controlled by him. Not only that, Dong Zhuo has torn off his mask of gentleness to the emperor and openly brought swords and soldiers into and out of the harem. Emperor Ling of Han was in poor health, but now he is angry with Dong Zhuo and finally fell ill. Dong Zhuo slaughtered dissidents on a large scale, and the emperor fell ill again. The Han Dynasty was suddenly in a state of storm.

Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Wei was an official in the court. One day Emperor Ling of Han invited him to meet him.

Yuan Wei hurried to the palace gate, and the guard guard held a gun and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Yuan Wei hurriedly said, "I am the Minister of Si Yuan Wei, and I will come to see you by your Majesty's edict."

The guard let out the door and said, "Go in. But Lord Situ remembers that he can only stay for half an hour. Otherwise, he will be killed and unpardoned."

"Why is this?"

"This is the order of the Grand Master."

Yuan Wei was stunned and quickly walked towards the inner palace.

Half an hour was almost here, and Yuan Wei jogged out all the way. Just as he was about to leave the palace gate, the guards stopped him again. "Please stay, Yuan Situ."

Yuan Wei said anxiously: "What's the matter? I haven't been more than half an hour."

The guard said with a cold face: "I know you haven't been more than half an hour. However, the Grand Master has an order that anyone who leaves the palace must search." As he said that, he grabbed Yuan Wei without saying a word, and then searched carefully up and down.

At this time, everyone did not notice Yuan Wei's expression. Yuan Wei's face was pale and there was an unconcealed look of horror in his eyes.

After a while, the guards did not find anything eye-catching on Yuan Wei, so they let Yuan Wei leave.

After leaving the palace and returning home, Yuan Wei collapsed on the spot. Yuan Wei's wife asked the reason in surprise, but Yuan Wei just shook her head and refused to answer.

On that day, Yuan Wei asked his wife to pack up for him. After lunch, Yuan Wei left Luoyang with only two entourages.

In the evening, Dong Zhuo came to the palace. Before entering the palace, he asked the gatekeeper: "Will there be idle people entering the palace today?"

The guard said, "Report to the Grand Master, Yuan Wei was summoned to the palace in the morning."

"Oh, is there an abnormality?"

"No exception."

Dong Zhuo nodded and no longer took this matter to heart. Over the past period of time, Dong Zhuo has frequently entered the palace, not because he was conspiring, but because he fell in love with the bed of the concubines of Emperor Ling. Dong Zhuo stayed in the dragon bed overnight and misled the concubines. This incident later spread to the people, and Dong Zhuo's reputation plummeted. Many people secretly called Dong Zhuo a traitor. Li Ru had advised Dong Zhuo more than once, but Dong Zhuo didn't listen at all.

After Yuan Wei left Luoyang, he traveled day and night. Finally, he arrived in the Bohai Sea half a month later.

At this time, Yuan Shao was training troops in Bohai. When he learned that his uncle was visiting, Yuan Shao was very surprised.

"Shao greets my uncle." Yuan Shao was dressed and greeted Yuan Wei in the lobby. Yuan Wei quickly helped Yuan Shao up, "I don't need to be polite in the first place. I have something to entrust to you this time." As he said that, he took out a roll of thin silk from his arms and spread it out carefully.

Yuan Shao felt particularly puzzled, so he asked, "Uncle, what is this?"

Yuan Wei handed the silk to Yuan Shao, "Originally, this is a secret decree of the emperor. Look."

Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly took it and took a closer look. The general idea of ​​the secret edict was that Dong Zhuo deceived the emperor and ruined the world, so he summoned righteous men from all over the country to seek rebellion, and specially ordered Yuan Shao to be the general to command the rebel army in various places.

Yuan Shao was extremely excited, "Your Majesty is so wise! I, Yuan Shao, will definitely live up to your great trust!"

"Uncle, please stay with your nephew for the time being. Your nephew immediately sent an edict to the princes from all over the country to raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo!"

"Okay. The survival of the Han Dynasty depends entirely on the beginning!" Yuan Wei burst into tears in excitement.

On the same day, Yuan Shao summoned his counselors for a brief discussion and sent dozens of fast horses to all parts of the world.

Since Chen Chu led his army to the Northern Expedition, it took a year to finally pacify the Wuhuan tribes.

The Northern Expedition was quite difficult, and nearly 30,000 troops were killed in the battle alone. The Wuwan Army was very powerful. On the wasteland, the Chen Chu army, which was dominated by infantry, suffered a great loss. Fortunately, Chen Gong, a great military advisor, gave advice and adopted the means of division and disintegration within it. Under the influence of Chen Gong's coercion and temptation, the Wuwan army temporarily organized by multiple tribes began to suspicion of each other. At the same time, Chen Gong used a plan to lure Wuwan King Tadun and his commanded 80,000 troops into the encirclement, and then the ambushed soldiers came out from all sides. The Wuwan Army, which was caught off guard, was killed so that the body was blood flowing all over the field. Wuwan King Tadun was chased to death by Zhang Fei in the chaos. Then, Chen Chu's army took advantage of the situation to capture Liucheng.

Chen Chu's army destroyed 80,000 Wuwan's troops in a battle, and then pulled out Liucheng. The sharpness of the troops was no exception. The other Wuwan's troops were extremely frightened, so they sent envoys to express their intention of surrendering.

Chen Chu took the opportunity to recruit Wuhuan tribes. If anyone disobeyed, he would slaughter all the tribe population and eliminate the roots. However, Chen Chu was very good at the Wuhuan tribes that were incorporated. Chen Chu once publicly stated that those who were willing to enter China were the people of China and would treat them equally.

Chen Chu said this and did this. Therefore, in a very short time, Chen Chu won the hearts of the people of Wuhuan and obtained 60,000 Wuhuan cavalry. Chen Chu handed over the 60,000 Wuhuan cavalry to Zhang Feilai to lead the 60,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

After pacifying Wuhuan, Chen Chu returned to his army to station in Zhuo County. While recruiting troops to expand his strength, he also paid attention to the situation in the world. Of course, Chen Chu did not forget to send envoys to Luoyang to report the victory.

After pacifying Wuhuan, Chen Chu became more famous, and many heroes and strategists from all over the world took the initiative to defect to him. The famous strategists were Tian Feng and Ju Su; and the famous generals were Dian Wei and Zhang He.

After getting these four people, Chen Chu was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several days.

One day, Chen Chu was drinking with everyone in the villa of Zhang Fei in Zhuo County. The guard suddenly came to report that Yuan Shao's envoy had arrived in Zhuo County. Chen Chu couldn't help but be surprised and immediately led everyone back to Zhuo County.

Chen Chu was slightly surprised when he received the edict from Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, the person who summoned the princes to attack Dong Zhuo turned into Yuan Shao.

Chen Chu summoned the strategists and generals, and decided to send troops after just a little discussion.

At present, Chen Chu has 200,000 troops, including 100,000 infantry, 40,000 Han cavalry, and 60,000 Wuwan cavalry. Six military generals under his command are Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang He, and Dian Wei; the three strategists are Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Ju Su.

Chen Chu did not intend to bring all his men and horses to the outside of Hulao Pass to join the alliance. Chen Chu decided to lead 50,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry to go there. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Dian Wei accompanied him and accepted Ju Su as the marching Sima. The rest of the army were left in Zhuo County.

One month later, nineteen princes responded to Yuan Shao's call to come to the alliance.

The nineteen princes are: the latter general, Yuan Shu, the prefect of Nanyang, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Kong You, the governor of Yuzhou, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Henei County, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prefect of Beihai, Kong Rong, the prefect of Guangling, Zhang Chao, the governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian, the prefect of Xiliang, Ma Teng, the prefect of Beiping, Gongsun Zan, the prefect of Shangdang, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangchenghou, Sun Jian, the prefect of Wuchenghou, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, Cao Cao, who was stationed in Qiao County, and Chen Chu, the general of the North, had a total of nineteen princes.

Among them, Chen Chu, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were the strongest. Cao Cao raised 50,000 troops, Yuan Shao raised 100,000 troops, and Chen Chu also raised 100,000 troops. Other princes brought about 20,000 to 30,000 troops, and at least 10,000 to 20,000. The nineteen princes raised about 450,000 troops.

In addition to these nineteen princes, there was an inconspicuous man who led 10,000 troops to participate in the alliance. This man was Liu Bei, who was appointed as the captain of Chen Chu.

When the troops and horses from all over the country came, they first showed their identity. When Liu Bei came out to indicate his identity, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu both showed a very contemptuous expression. Yuan Shu even shouted: "The people who come here are all princes guarding all sides. You are just a small lieutenant, but they actually came! Do you want to take advantage of the situation and cheat your fame and fortune!"

Liu Bei was humiliated and wanted to refute it immediately. However, at this moment, someone outside the tent shouted loudly, "Why did you insult my subordinates, Yuan Gonglu!"

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and looked out of the tent. They saw a handsome young man wearing black armor and black cloak strode, following the three generals behind him, each with great extraordinary aura of terrifying momentum. The princes couldn't help but feel a stern heart, and they all thought to themselves: This person is so extraordinary! Who is it?

Cao Cao, who was sitting on Yuan Shao's right head, looked surprised when he saw the visitor. Cao Cao quickly stood up to greet him, came to the other party and clasped his fists and said, "General Zhengbei, you are finally here! If you have a general in Dong Zhuo, you will be defeated!"

"Meng De, is this the General of the North who destroyed the Yellow Turban Pingwuwan?" Yuan Shao asked in surprise.

Cao Cao intimately introduced Chen Chu's arm to the princes: "Everyone must have heard of the reputation of General Zhengbei. This is General Zhengbei who is powerful in the Liaohe River."

After hearing this, the princes quickly stood up to pay their respects. Yuan Shao also came down from the position of commander and said polite words. "I say that General Zhengbei must be a person who is from the age of 40 or 50, but I didn't expect that the general was so young! It's really touching!"

After making some polite mistakes, Yuan Shao said again: "I am another daughter. Although I am less than fourteen years old, I am willing to make it to the general with my beauty."

Chen Chu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your kindness in Qixianghou. What should I say after defeating Dong Zhuo?"

When Cao Cao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Chu's answer.

Yuan Shao seemed not to hear the ruling in Chen Chu's words, and actually smiled happily: "Okay, when Dong Zhuo is defeated, I will immediately send someone to send my little girl to the general's mansion."
