Now that Cao Cao brought up the old story again, Lu Bu subconsciously nodded in agreement, "That's right, Meng De and the Xiliang Army have a deep grudge, and Lu has witnessed this with his own eyes."

"Well, Fengxian is upright, which Cao admires." He mentioned the fiasco that year.Cao Cao didn't have any shame on his face, he still looked as usual, facing it calmly, and praised Lu Bu by the way.This made Lu Bu very useful, and he immediately smiled and was complacent.

After a short pause, Cao Cao changed his subject sharply, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about my old grievances between Cao Cao and the Xiliang Army, just talk about the deaths of my two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, let me Cao Cao be right. Thief Li hated it to the bone. Li Thief killed my flesh and blood brother. This hatred is irresistible, if I don’t avenge this revenge, what kind of face will I stand between heaven and earth!"

When he said this, Cao Cao's face was full of anger, and his sharp little eyes were full of murderous intent.It seems that the hatred for Li Li is as deep as the sea, and he is eager to get rid of it quickly.

Immediately Cao Cao's expression eased slightly.Forcibly calm down.Said in a deep voice: "The land of the six counties of Yanzhou is nothing compared to the enmity between brothers? Now our army is defeated by General Fengxian. It is purely inferior to others. It is not shameful to lose on the frontal battlefield. I am convinced by Cao Cao's defeat." Oral. Before that, I really thought about retaking Yanzhou. With 10,000+ soldiers and horses in my hands, I am fully capable of taking back Yanzhou. But now I have a good opportunity to severely injure Li Li's thief. I definitely can't miss it. As long as I can defeat Li Li, Even if you give up Yanzhou, you will not hesitate! This once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity cannot be found, and if you miss this opportunity, none of us is an opponent of Thief Li. Therefore, the public don’t have to worry about me, Cao Cao deliberately saving my strength to attack Yanzhou. To be honest, for this alliance, I have secretly dispatched [-] soldiers and horses to the border of Henan County, and after the princes from all walks of life have arrived, I will lead my own troops to form an alliance with you and attack Sili!"

"Okay, Meng De is strong!" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao applauded and said with a smile: "Meng De has always understood the general situation, cared about the overall situation, and did not care about personal gains or losses. This point has been obvious to all since Chen Liuhuimeng a few years ago. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, I believe that Meng De is not a despicable villain who sneaks up on others from behind. What's more, Meng De sent [-] troops this time, which is almost all of your existing troops. Such a righteous act is really a model for us, and we should follow suit ah!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shao solemnly stated: "For several months, I have successively mobilized soldiers and horses from various counties and counties, and practiced day and night. Now the 15 soldiers and horses under my command have completed the training. The Lu lords will form an alliance and jointly send troops to attack the Li thief!"

"Brother Benchu ​​is mighty, and he dispatched an army of 15 in one fell swoop, which makes us ashamed!" Cao Cao bowed in shock and bowed.

Yuan Shao got up gently and walked down the hall, and said in a deep voice with indignation: "Li thief has no way, perverted, oppressed the nobles, imprisoned the emperor, his evil deeds are unspeakable, and his behavior is heinous! Today's Li thief is far worse than Dong Zhuo in the past. Hateful, reckless, unscrupulous, coercing the emperor to order the princes, trying to overthrow our 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty. However, Li Thief is powerful. His Xiliang Army under his command has more than [-] people, and his momentum is overwhelming. He has rarely lost in battles over the years. Therefore If we don't do our best to form an unprecedentedly powerful allied army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Li Thief and his Xiliang Army. In the end, we will be completely defeated, and Li Thief's wolf ambition will be completely fulfilled. Therefore, we can no longer hold back, We should have the money to give money and the strength to work hard, cooperate sincerely, unite as one, and vow to defeat Li thief!"

Yuan Shao's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and everyone was impassioned and excited.Immediately, Lu Bu ignored Chen Gong's wink and tugging, stood up impressively, and said loudly: "What General Cheqi said is very true. What Chen Gong said before was just a joke, but it was not a certain person's original intention. Now Meng De dispatched 15 troops , General Cheqi sent [-] troops, and even Uncle Zhi sent [-] troops. How can I, Lu Bu, fall behind? I decided to send [-] troops, and all [-] wolf cavalry troops were drawn out to join the alliance !"

"Feng Xian's words are serious, isn't it just out of temper?" Yuan Shao was slightly dazed, then strode up to Lu Bu, and asked anxiously.

"I, Lu Bu, always keep my word and do what I say. How can I break my word and get rich and go back on my word?" Lu Bu said with a haughty expression.

"Hahaha! Good good good good good!" Yuan Shao heard the applause, then met Cao Cao's eyes and smiled at each other.Then he laughed and said: "After Fengxian's 30 soldiers and horses joined the alliance, the four of us alone will have [-] troops, which is enough to compete with Li Thief!"

Cao Cao echoed with a smile on his face: "Brother Benchu's words are very true. Fengxian put aside his selfishness and cared about righteousness, and dispatched [-] elite cavalry to join the battle. Afterwards, he will be able to make new achievements and regain the style of the old tiger prison. Famous Son of Heaven!"

Lü Bu laughed heartily after hearing the words, cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao: "I have one more request, please be sure to agree to it, General Chariot and Cavalry."

"Fengxian has something to say, but it's okay to say it, why should he be so formal?" Yuan Shao nodded with a smile.

Lu Bu was delighted when he heard the words, and immediately said loudly: "Since that's the case, I will tell you the truth. I also ask the general of chariots and riders to let me, Lu Bu, be the vanguard officer. I will open the way for the army and fight against Li Bandit without dying. I implore Yuan The general is complete!"

"Pioneer? Well, well, that's great!" Yuan Shao was startled when he heard the sound, and then praised: "After the alliance, I just need a brave general like Fengxian to charge forward and defeat the enemy for our army, and boost the morale of the whole army. Therefore, at Fengxian's request, I can now make it clear that after the allied forces are assembled, Fengxian will be the vanguard general of the allied forces! Hahaha!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed upon hearing this.Immediately bowed and thanked: "Thank you, leader, for fulfilling the task, Lu Bu is very grateful!"

The sound of the lord came to Yuan Shao's ears, it really benefited him, it made him feel comfortable and his smile became brighter and brighter.Loud laughter filled the main hall, stirring around the beams.

"Hmph!" Some people were happy while others were sad.Just when Lu Bu was delighted and Yuan Shao laughed heartily.Standing behind Cao Cao, Cao Hong couldn't help but snort in anger.Then when he was about to open his mouth to object, he was blocked by Cao Cao, who had to swallow his words back, his cheeks flushed, it was so uncomfortable!

Then Cao Cao turned his head and said in a low voice to Cao Hong: "Lv Bu invited himself to be the vanguard of the Allied Army.

Cao Hong replied in a low voice: "Although Lu Bu is brave, he is arrogant. I can't understand his face of being a villain! What's more, we bear a great vengeance, and we will definitely kill General Li Thief. To avenge the dead brother Xiahou I hate you, and the vanguard general is a great opportunity to kill the enemy, how can you hand it over to Lu Bu?"

Hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head and waved his hands to signal Cao Hong not to be impatient. Then he got up and walked into the hall, bowed to Lu Bu, smiled and said, "Looking at the heroes of the world, General Fengxian is a born vanguard general. Before the battle, the city was attacked and the stronghold was pulled out. Fang Tian painted the halberd to point it, and he was invincible. Everyone knows the prestige of General Feng Xian. Fang Tianji in his hand, and the red rabbit horse under his crotch. In the past, he rode alone to block the eighteenth road The princes are not allowed to advance an inch, which makes people frightened. Today, he changed places, and Feng Xian was the pioneer of the Allied Army. He will surely reappear the majestic appearance of the old tiger prison, and kill the Li thief. It is a wise move to serve as the vanguard general of the Allied Forces, who else is better than you?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Lu Bu was elated, and the scene in front of the Hulao Pass in the past appeared in front of him for a moment, which made him feel excited and full of pride.

Suddenly, Lu Bu's view of Cao Cao changed greatly, and he had a faint feeling of sympathy for each other, and he became a confidant.It's a pity that he and Cao Cao are now enemies and not friends, and he has taken away Yanzhou, the place where Cao Cao was based.Fortunately, for this alliance, both parties came with the same purpose, and they lived in peace for the time being, and they will still be enemies after the alliance ends.

This feeling made Lu Bu very uncomfortable, but he had to face it.At the moment, he will definitely not return the Yanzhou that he has already snatched to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is not willing to be inferior, and he will definitely not lead his troops to surrender to him.The conflicts between the two parties cannot be reconciled, and only when one party perishes or leaves Yanzhou can the dispute be settled.Fortunately, Cao Cao had promised him that after the alliance ended, he would immediately lead his troops to leave Yanzhou and find another place to settle down.

Therefore, Lu Bu can now talk with Cao Cao calmly, without worrying that Cao Cao will break his promise and become fat, and go back on what he says.Because Cao Jun is now on the verge of desperation, if Yuan Shao did not provide a batch of food and grass relief, I am afraid that the 10,000+ Cao Jun would have already run out of food and grass, and they would collapse and flee for their lives, so there is nothing to fear.

Seeing that Cao Cao and Lu Bu had settled their suspicions and had a happy conversation, Yuan Shao was slightly stunned and laughed happily.

"Hahaha! Mengde and Fengxian were able to put aside their past grievances and let go of their grievances. It is really a blessing for our allies. It is very good!" After laughing, Yuan Shao ordered Zhang Yang to set up a banquet, and let the generals standing under the hall have their own Take a seat and enjoy a drink.

Then Zhang Yang led the way, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu moved to the back hall, followed by Xu You, Xun Yu and other confidant advisers, discussing in secret how to dispatch troops and how to defeat the enemy.This is the crux of this secret meeting.

Unexpectedly, however, Chen Gong, who followed Lu Bu, was not allowed to participate in the secret discussion, and stayed in the lobby to drink with the generals.But Lu Bu raised no objection to this, acquiesced to the facts, and waved his hand to signal Chen Gong to stay in the lobby.

Obviously, the fact that Chen Gong's sister Chen Yu is Li Li's wife has long been known to all the princes.Therefore, in order to ensure that this secret meeting is absolutely foolproof and that no part of it will be leaked, Yuan Shao and the others all chose to act cautiously and not allow Chen Gong to participate in the decision-making of the secret meeting.At the same time, this move must have been approved by Lu Bu in advance, but he has never disclosed it to Chen Gong.It was not until everyone went to the back hall to discuss matters that they told Chen Gong the truth.

This move is really chilling, it shows that they don't trust Chen Gong, so they exclude him from the secret discussion.

It can be seen from this that the Central Plains Alliance this time is of great significance, and it is related to the vital interests of Yuan Shao and other four princes.After all, the areas under the jurisdiction of the four of them are under the Xiliang army's front. Once the Xiliang army sends troops to the Central Plains, the four of them will bear the brunt of the threat of Xiliang's iron hooves.Relatively speaking, even if other princes come to the alliance.They will not do their best to help; because their jurisdiction is far away from Xiliang, they have not experienced the might of the Xiliang army, and they are far from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others who have such a strong sense of crisis.

It's none of your business to hang high.The Central Plains alliance this time is far more than the four princes at present, and several princes have also clearly replied to Yuan Shao, and they will soon lead their troops to the alliance.It's just that the number of troops sent by the princes of those routes was somewhat unsatisfactory.He obviously has reservations, and he is far from being able to compare with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others.The reason why these people agreed to send troops.Most of them are thinking of coming to join in the fun.By the way, let's see if there are any bargains to be made. They are really a group of snobs who only take advantage of the advantages without doing anything.But Liao Shengyu Wu, as long as these princes can come, the subsequent things are up to them. Whether they can get a bargain depends on whether they have the ability to make a bargain.

In view of this.Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Zhang Yang and the other four had to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy in advance before the alliance.After all, they almost did their best for this meeting, except for the necessary defense.Mobilize all the mobile forces in your hands to come to the alliance.With such a large investment, how can they not do their best, and how can they sit back and watch the success or failure of the allied forces?

So the four of them agreed on countermeasures in advance. After all the allied forces were assembled, the four of them would lead the battle, lead the princes and allied forces to attack in an orderly manner, and finally achieve the strategic goal of defeating Li Li and his Xiliang army.

Therefore, this meeting is different from the previous Chenliu meeting. Although the princes still have intrigues and ghosts, their purpose of sending troops is unprecedentedly the same.If they can invade Chang'an in one fell swoop, everyone will be happy; if they can't completely destroy the Xiliang army, they will definitely hit the Xiliang army hard, so as to win them living space and time to grow stronger.

"call!"

In the inner room of the back hall, the secret discussion lasted for more than an hour, until finally an agreement was reached, and the strategy to defeat the enemy was formally finalized.After the decision was made, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Zhang Yang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, looking exhausted.Just now, the four of them and the counselors had a heated argument, many of which were controversies, so that they blushed and their necks were thick, and they almost fought.Now that all the dust has settled, they can finally relax completely, sit down and drink tea calmly to soothe their minds.

"Fengxian, don't leak even half of what we discussed this time. Once Thief Li learns about our plan, the big deal will be over!" While relaxing, Yuan Shao still reminded Lu Bu to beware of Chen Gong and not to divulge a word.

As soon as Yuan Shao said this, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, Xu You, Xun Yu and others nodded happily.Apparently, they also had the same idea, they had very distrust of Chen Gong, and doubted whether Lu Bu could keep the secret.

"Well, don't worry, everyone, Lu will keep his mouth shut and won't reveal anything to anyone!" Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully.

Cao Cao then said: "Fengxian deeply understands the righteousness. This is the luck of the allied army. Cao, on behalf of the allied princes, thanked Fengxian first. The less people who know about the matter we discussed just now, the better. Only in this way can we ensure He was absolutely sure, and finally defeated Li Li in one fell swoop. As for the public platform, I don't trust him, but I just have concerns. Therefore, to be on the safe side, I have no choice but to let him not participate in this matter. It is really a last resort. To be able to understand first is to be magnanimous and tolerant.”

"Well, what Meng De said is very true." Yuan Shaoxin nodded and said: "Chen Gongtai is resourceful and resourceful, and he is the humerus arm that Feng Xian relies on a lot. But he and Li Thief are related by marriage. This is an indisputable fact, so I have to let me We have a lot of concerns and treat it with caution. This time we will do our best to send troops to the alliance, and we must be cautious in any link, and we cannot tolerate any mistakes, otherwise all efforts will be wasted. Therefore, Chen Gong still needs to do his best. To appease, don't lose the big because of the small things, and involve us and other big things!"

"President Yuan, please rest assured. Although Lu is a general, he also knows the priorities. This secret meeting is related to the overall situation, and Lu must keep it a secret and go all out." Lu Bu looked slightly displeased, but still nodded in agreement.

"So I'm relieved." Yuan Shao nodded slightly, and then said to the crowd: "Right now Bandit Li is fighting fiercely with the barbarian army in Beidi County, and he has no time to worry about him. It's a good time for me to send troops to attack Sili. I mean, The allied forces assembled in Hanoi County within half a month, and then sent troops to attack the Anyi camp. After the Anyi garrison was destroyed, they sent troops across the river, took Hangu Pass, and entered Chang'an. Siege the city and pull out the stronghold, advance slowly, you can concentrate the superior force, take Chang'an directly, and take back the emperor! I don't know what you think?"

"Brother Benchu ​​has a high opinion, and Mr. Cao seconded it." Cao Cao's expression moved, and he immediately echoed.

Xu You, Xun Yu and Lu Bu nodded and agreed, but Zhang Yang's face changed when he heard that, he hesitated to speak, and was worried.

Chapter 600

(Thanks to: book friend Jun Zibai, Tianma Xingkong 6668, **sdff book friend monthly ticket support, thank you!)

Seeing that Zhang Yang's expression was irritable, which was completely different from before, Yuan Shao couldn't help but his expression changed slightly, and asked softly, "Uncle Zhi, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you so anxious and confused, could it be that there is something wrong with our army sending troops?"

"Uh!" Zhang Yang woke up when he heard the sound, and slowly let go of his clenched right hand, and then a stack of letters appeared in his palm.

Immediately, he handed the letter to Yuan Shao, and explained in a respectful voice: "This is the secret report that the maid gave me when she came in to serve tea just now. The letter said that the reason why Bandit Li has been stagnant in the past few days is because he has delivered the army to the army. Yu, a general named Zhou Yu, took over the whole battle. However, the secret agent we sent to Beidi County didn't know it. He thought that Li's expedition was frustrated and the war was stalemate, so he stayed in Shuofengkou Camp to think about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

Unsurprisingly, this is not the case at all.Zhou Yu was in full control of Xiliang's expeditionary army, and he didn't need to report to Li Bandit in advance, let alone lead the troops to fight in person.Therefore, I and other subordinates were blinded by Li Thief, and kept guarding around the camp at Shuofengkou, foolishly waiting for Li Thief to go to the front to lead the army in battle.Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu, the leading general on the front line, had already led a large army to defeat the Fuluo barbarian army in the Qinglang Valley. In the first battle, the barbarian army wiped out more than [-] cavalry, and then took over half of the Xiongnu grassland in a few days.

Now that the Xiliang army has arrived at the court of the Huns, they will be able to pacify the barbarians in a short time and win a complete victory! "

"Ah!" Everyone in the hall changed their expressions and exclaimed in unison. They all looked horrified and their faces were full of disbelief.

In a state of astonishment, Cao Cao muttered with a livid face, "How could this be? The barbarian Yu Fuluo has more than [-] soldiers. After Chiyang City's disastrous defeat, there are still nearly [-] troops. Then he asked Brother Benchu ​​for help, and we will send him off again." With him one hundred thousand stones of food and grass and fifty carts of ordnance. With these food, grass and supplies, he can gather tens of thousands of war cavalry again, regroup, and have no problem in stalemate with Li thief for several months. How could he be defeated so badly in ten days? ?”

After a pause, Cao Cao yelled angrily, "Yu Fuluo is such a stupid pig! With a 10,000+ army, plus horses, there are more than 20 people and horses, even if it is [-] stupid pigs, what a fool!" Nowhere to move. Allowing the Xiliang army to slash and kill is enough to delay the Xiliang army for half a month. But now it is so unbearable that more than [-] war cavalry were randomly sent by Li Thief to lead an unknown general It is really unreasonable to destroy the army, it is extremely stupid!"
