Chapter 40 The princes responded

Cao Cao and Chen Gong returned to Chenliu, found his father Cao Hao, and told Cao Hao about his decision. Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "I support you very much if you have such great ambitions. But now there is not so much money in the family, and I am afraid that there will be not many people. It is better to do this. There is a filial and honest person here. You are always well-in-law and have a good relationship with your father. You might as well go to his house to find him and ask him to help you recruit righteous soldiers. In this way, a big thing will be done."

Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this, so he rushed to Wei Hong's house and said, "Now the Han Dynasty has no master, Dong Zhuo is tyrannical, deceiving the king and harming the people, and the world is jealous. I want to support the country, but my strength is insufficient. The Duke is a loyal and righteous man, and Cao Cao dares to ask for help."

Wei Hong was overjoyed and said, "I have had this ambition for a long time, but I have never met any heroes. Now that Meng De has this ambition, I am willing to give all my money to help Meng De."

Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed when he heard this. Then he issued a forgery edict in the name of the Three Dukes, then recruited Yi soldiers, raised a white flag to recruit soldiers, and wrote the word "Zodiac" in his letter. In a few days, the recruits gathered like rain. The Cao family was originally a famous family in the world. In addition, Cao Cao's father originally came from the Xiahou family, so he had a wide family background. The two families had a family. Now Cao Cao raised the rebel army and attacked Dong Zhuo, so he naturally fought for the first time to respond. The first response was naturally the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

Those children, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, took the lead in surrendering to Cao Cao, followed by Cao Ren and Cao Hong, and several of them were skilled in archery and horses and mastered martial arts. Cao Cao was naturally very happy and entrusted with important tasks. Then a man from Yangping Wei, whose surname was Le, whose name was Jin, whose name was Wenqian, came to surrender to Cao Cao. Another man from Julu, Shanyang, whose surname was Li, whose name was Dian, whose name was Mancheng, also came to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was all kept as an official in front of the tent. Because Wei Hong had all his money as a monk, he helped him buy clothes, armor and flags, and countless people sent food from all directions.

Yuan Shao, who had long planned to raise an army to attack Dong Zhuo, gathered his civil and military personnel, led 30,000 troops, left the old nest of Bohai, and formed an alliance with Cao Cao. Cao Cao wrote an edict to convey the princes, and wrote: "Cao and others are willing to inform the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceives the heavens and the earth, destroys the country and kills the king; filthy palaces and bans, harms living creatures; wolves are unkind and unkind, and sins are accumulated. Now, according to the secret edict of the emperor, we gather the righteous soldiers and swear to wipe out the Huaxia and kill all the evil spirits. We hope to promote the righteous army to vent public anger together; support the royal family and save the people. The edict can be carried out quickly until the day."

Cao Cao issued an edict, and the cavalry of the princes in each town responded. The first town was the first town, and the later general, the Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu, the second town, the Jizhou prefect Han Fu, the third town, the Yuzhou governor Kong Qichang, the fourth town, the Yanzhou governor Liu Dai, the fifth town, the Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, the sixth town, the Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao, the seventh town, the Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao, the eighth town, the Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi, the ninth town, the Jibei prefect Bao Xin, the Jinhai prefect Kong Rong, the eleventh town, the Guangling prefect Zhang Chao, the eleventh town, the Xuzhou governor Tao Qian, the eleventh town, the Xiliang prefect Ma Teng, the fourteenth town, the Shangdang prefect Zhang Yang, the fifteenth town, the Wucheng Hou Changsha prefect Sun Jian, the sixth town, the Qixiang Hou Bohai prefect Yuan Shao, the various military horses ranged from 30,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 12,000 to 130,000 to 10,000 to 10,000 to 12,000 to 13,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,33,000 to 1,000 to 1,000 to 1,33, and each of them led civil officials and generals to join Luoyang.

Liu Bin, who was far away in Youzhou, is now the largest prince in the world, a relative of the Han clan, the world's number one general, and one of the three dukes. Naturally, he received the manifesto. After receiving the manifesto, Liu Bin couldn't help but smile. Cao Cao did live this righteous person, and his brilliant life began here. The reason why Cao Cao was able to surrender so many people in the future was that at this time, he took the lead in chasing Dong Zhuo. At the same time, in the later pursuit of Dong Zhuo, he was the only one who led his troops to chase and accumulated rich political capital, which laid a solid foundation for him to surrender so many talents in the future. Although his power was not the biggest before the Guandu War, it was the best reputation, which was the benefits brought by these political capitals.

Originally, with Liu Bin's prestige and status, it would be better if the situation was better if he responded first. However, Liu Bin is now the largest prince in the world. When he was the first to raise an army, he felt a little ahead of him, so he still handed over this glorious task to Cao Cao, hid behind him, and received benefits. Now Cao Cao finally started to raise an army according to his wishes, and the princes in the world began to respond, which naturally made him very satisfied. He had prepared almost, so Liu Bin recruited all the civil and military officials from Youzhou and began to discuss countermeasures.

This time the attack on Dong Zhuo was not a simple military incident, but also related to political interests. Therefore, the political and military under Liu Bin attended this meeting. In Yin'an Hall, Liu Bin took the lead and said: "Everyone. Now Cao Cao has issued a forgery and issued another edict, calling on the princes of the world to go to Beijing to attack Dong Zhuo. Our Youzhou has also received a forgery and edict. Let's talk about what we should do."

After hearing Liu Bin's words, the ministers below began to discuss. Of course, the people who were talking were basically those middle and low-level political personnel, and senior political personnel, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, and Gu Yong, who had actually discussed this issue a long time ago, and the military personnel naturally followed Liu Bin. Liu Bin was the biggest military leader. Whatever he said was naturally what he said.

Seeing the people below talking, but no one came out to speak in advance, Liu Bin smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Wen Ruo will express his opinion on behalf of the people from the State Council."

Liu Bin also knew that if he didn't speak or ordered generals, these people would probably not be the first to speak. After all, they didn't understand the meaning of his lord, and they were not easy to speak. And Xun Yu and others were planning to let the military people speak first. The military people only listened to their own words and rarely interrupted politics. So they could only let the political people speak first.

When Xun Yu saw Liu Bin name, he stood up and said, "Lord, Dong Zhuo controls the government and harms the country and the people. It is indeed unforgivable to be forgiven. As a relative of the Han Dynasty and the initiator of the forgery of the edict, our Youzhou naturally needs to respond. Now his subordinates have made all preparations, and the food, grass, and military pay are also ready, and we will only make a decision."

Since Cao Cao issued a forgery in the name of the Three Dukes, Liu Bin, as the head of the Three Dukes, was naturally the initiator of the forgery in the order. It is not wrong to say so.

Liu Bin nodded and said, "Very good."

Then he looked at the generals led by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and said, "How are you doing?" Guan Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and finally Zhao Yun stood up and said, "Report to the lord, all the soldiers in Youzhou are always ready to go to the battlefield and serve the lord. As long as the lord gives the order, our Youzhou soldiers will follow. We can guarantee that we can win invincible battles and attack and eliminate all obstructive forces for the lord."

After hearing this, Liu Bin smiled slightly, very satisfied with Zhao Yun and the others' answers. However, he did not say anything about it, but turned his head and said to Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "So what do you mean by the two gentlemen? What should I pay attention to in terms of intelligence? What should I pay attention to in terms of strategy and tactics?"

The two intelligence leaders looked at each other, and finally Jia Xu signaled to Guo Jia that Guo Jia knew that Jia Xu did not like to show off in public, so Guo Jia stood up and said, "In terms of intelligence, we are fully prepared and serve the lord at any time. In terms of strategy and tactics, the General Staff Department has also formulated preliminary strategies, and this time the lord was led by the lord himself, so naturally the lord decided what to do. As for other aspects, the subordinates and others had nothing to say, only about the alliance, but the subordinates had some opinions."

When Liu Bin heard this, he nodded and said, "What are you saying about Fengxiao, but it's okay."

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "According to the information, this time, there are eighteen princes who have brought us to Youzhou. Depending on the situation, when the princes join forces, they will form alliances and select the leader. In the humble opinion of their subordinates, it is best for the lord not to be the leader of this alliance, nor to form alliances with those princes."

When Liu Bin heard this, Guo Jia was talking about this. Although he had thought of this before, he still said, "Oh. Why is this? Since the princes work together, (Liu Bin himself probably doesn't believe this sentence.) To fight against traitors and serve the country, we naturally have to form an alliance and select the leader of the alliance, so that it is convenient for commanding the battle. Why did Fengxiao tell me not to form an alliance with the princes and not to be the leader of the alliance?"

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Bin, then looked at the ministers who were a little confused. With his understanding of Liu Bin, he naturally knew that Liu Bin had this idea for a long time. The reason why he asked this was to explain it clearly to those ministers who didn't understand why. So Guo Jia said: "With the prestige and status of the lords and the strength of our Youzhou army, if we want to form an alliance with the princes, the position of the lords will naturally be the lord. However, forming an alliance with the princes will not only have any benefits to our Youzhou, but will have disadvantages. That's why my subordinates said this."

Liu Bin smiled slightly and said, "What are the disadvantages? Fengxian, but it's okay to say it."

Guo Jia said: "You have reported to the lord, the biggest one among the corresponding princes now is the governor of a state. Most of the remaining ones are county magistrates. Some of them have their official positions appointed by the old thief Dong Zhuo, and some of them do not even have official positions. According to the rules of the court, they have no power to lead the war, which is somewhat unjust. The lord is the King of Jin, the official position is the Grand Marshal of Party Building and the General of Cavalry, and it is not equal to the princes. To form an alliance with these princes will damage the prestige of the lord and the momentum of our Youzhou."
