The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

The reason is very simple. Even if the two princes are still alive, the situation will not change. At most, Dong Zhuo will support the superior, and the fake prince will become the real prince.A puppet prince is just a prop for Dong Zhuo to order the world, and it is not so difficult to expect him to rejuvenate the big man...

In a sense, because Liu Tao killed the two princes, the world was in chaos, and the forces of all parties lost a lot of scruples.The next step is to speak based on strength, even a countryman has a chance to ascend to the throne.

Look at the essence through the phenomenon. At this point, everyone will not say that they are loyal ministers. No excuses are useless. They have torn their skins.To put it bluntly, everyone is a traitor, and no one is ashamed to say that.

Whoever raises an army, no matter what name he plays, has lost the commanding heights of morality.

On the other hand, whoever raises an army, after the failure, the Yi tribe is the standard configuration, and liquidation is inevitable.It is certain that most of the aristocratic families will be involved. After a fight, the influence of the gentry will inevitably drop to the freezing point.

At this time, Huaxia may usher in a situation where it will be broken before it can be established... Sanxing Yanhan may really be feasible.

Cao Cao is not a benevolent person, Liu Tao did a good job, he must admit.But whether to go to him or not is another matter.

"Meng De, why have you locked yourself in the study for the past few days?" At this moment, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, came outside the study, looked at him and asked.

"Father, the two princes were killed. Dong Zhuo went against the law and supported a fake prince as emperor. Now that the world is in chaos, it is really difficult for me to decide whether I should raise my troops to fight against Dong, or choose one of the princes to serve." Cao Cao said according to the facts. replied.

"Actually, you already have an idea in your heart, don't you? It's just that you still have scruples in your heart, right?" Cao Song looked at the letter in Cao Cao's hand when he knew his son, Mo Ruofu, and said, "Let me tell my father about the specific situation!"

Cao Cao didn't hide anything, and told everything he knew.

"This Liu Tao is amazing, really amazing!" Cao Song praised after hearing the words, "Every time he can just control the best time, and then rise rapidly. His vision is very unique, but obviously many people ignore it. as powerful as yours!"

When Cao Song said that, Cao Cao remembered that this man had come all the way and won many battles.Although it is obvious that he seized the opportunity to quickly accumulate military exploits in order to rise to his current level, but this journey along the way, repeated battles and victories are the key!

"This person can write you a letter in person, so naturally he really values ​​you." Cao Song looked at Cao Cao, "Since you have a big heart in your heart and don't want to be a traitor, you might as well choose a clan member to serve you!"

After a pause, he added: "It may not be Liu Tao, King Chen or Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, they are all good choices."

Since it was confirmed that the two princes had died, Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun suggested that Chen Wang raise troops to challenge Dong.The key is that I can no longer be a prince of stability, and I have to start 'cleaning up the rivers and mountains'.

Liu Chong also felt that it made sense when he heard the words. There used to be an emperor above, so naturally he had to abide by the rules.Now that the emperor is gone, maybe I have a chance to be the emperor?

Especially some time ago, the old Zongzheng in Luoyang had already sent him a letter, saying that the one who killed Dong thief was the emperor.Family members of the Liu family, let's fight against this thief together!Hasn't Liu Chong started formally training soldiers and recruiting local heroes?

There was Xu Chu from Qiao County, who brought five hundred people to join him; Liu Fu from Peiguo, and Liu Ye from Jiujiang Chengde came to join him; later, Liang Xi, who had been conquered by Liu Tao, was also from Chen Guo after all, so he joined King Chen's command.

At this point, Liu Chong already possessed enough strength, even if he directly killed Luoyang, it would not be a big problem at first.However, Dong Zhuo plundered Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and a large number of refugees knew that Chen Wang was benevolent and defected.

Apparently, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, word spread that he recruited a large number of refugees, and everyone gathered together.The number of exiles in Chen State continued to increase, the public security problem began to worsen, and supplies began to run short.

In order to solve this problem, Liu Chong was too busy to take care of himself, and obviously there was no way to send troops...

Similar to Liu Chong's situation, there is also Liu Dai.He also received Zongzheng's letter, and then began to show up. First, he subdued Jibei Minister Bao Xin, who also read Zongzheng's letter, and then his general Yu Jin made a suggestion, and then defected to Liu Dai.

I also thought about separatism, but I really don't want to be this traitor. It's not bad to be a mountain under Liu Dai's command. It's also another mountain, and there is Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County.

Liu Dai recruited talents, including Li Dian from Shanyang and Li Jin, his younger brother, who came to join him; followed by a ranger, Le Jin from Pingyang County, who brought a thousand elites; and Yin Renjun from Henan.

The two clansmen of the Han Dynasty have potential, the key is that there are many mountains under their command, which is why Cao Song suggested so.

On the contrary, from his point of view, Liu Tao is so capable. If he was in the past, he had no other choice but to submit obediently. This would be very passive.But in terms of prospects, Liu Tao is obviously more promising.

He is already old, and he has retired for so long, so he probably doesn't have a clear analysis of the situation.The suggestion is here, and the rest can only be made by Cao Cao. All he can do is to unconditionally support any decision he makes!

From the point of view of benefits, defecting to Liu Dai is the most beneficial. After all, you can build a new mountain, and even become the most powerful mountain; but from the point of view of benefits, defecting to Liu Chong has the most benefits. It is more convenient than Liu Dai.

But if you want to say the one that suits your appetite, it is probably Liu Tao.His vision must be good, but he couldn't rely on four years to go from being a white man to Bingzhou shepherd. In fact, he is the king of Bingzhou, and the more orthodox title is King Jin or King Zhao.

His ideas are also very appetizing to him, Sanxing Yanhan, reopening the Western Regions, each of them scratched his itch.

"I plan to go to Liu Tao!" Cao Cao finally made up his mind. "Not only that, I hope to recruit a group of soldiers in Chenliu. It is best to bring Brother Xiahou and one or two members of the clan over there."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Song shook his head, "You are the direct son of the Cao family, how could it be possible for you to bring only so few people there? I am an old man, and I can't help you with anything else. Sell everything that can be sold at home. Go, raise your military salary! I will also help you with the tribe, and I will raise three thousand soldiers for you anyway!"

"Boy, thank you father!" Seeing Cao Song's decisive answer, Cao Cao was very moved, and finally he could only solemnly thank him.

Chapter 412 Cao Cao Goes Northward

Knowing Cao Cao's choice, Cao Song didn't talk nonsense, and immediately sold the business, and at the same time went to Cao's house in person.

Indeed, his surname is Xiahou, so what?Now that he has been adopted by Cao Teng and his surname is Cao, he is the Cao family, and he is also the head of the Cao family!Go back and announce Cao Cao's decision directly, and ask who agrees and who disagrees? !

"Wherever Meng De is going, we will go there!" Cao Ren stepped forward without saying a word.

"Where is brother going, where am I going!" Cao Chun naturally also stood up.

"It seems that I don't know fun." Cao Hong smiled, and immediately stood up four or five Cao's children.

"Patriarch, Mengde wants to choose a wise master to serve. I have no objection, but the current situation in the world is erratic. It is too risky to bet on one person." A clan elder came to ask for instructions. After all, Cao Cao is not self-reliant, so everyone can Without hesitation.

Since the family members became the boss, then naturally they must fully support them.But now there is a risk in defecting to others.

"You don't know!" Cao Song had his opinion, "There are so many talents under Liu Tao's command. If there are fewer people under his leadership, he might be despised. Besides, it doesn't matter if there are more people. As long as they are united, they will become a team of their own in the future." If Liu Tao is knowledgeable, he will continue to be under his command. If he is incompetent, he can go out independently, or even replace him!"

In his opinion, with Cao Cao's talent, it is absolutely possible to be a prince, but he has special feelings for the big man, and he doesn't want to be that traitor, so he can only find a clan to take refuge in.

"So that's how it is!" Cao Song gave this reason. Although everyone still couldn't let go, they could reluctantly accept it.

The principle is also very simple, nothing more than studying the Spring and Autumn Period, my vassals' vassals are not my vassals.The old Cao family that Cao Cao brought over, even the members of Xiahou's family, only obeyed Cao Cao, not Liu Tao.

Scholars are used to domineering these days, and if they do it comfortably, then the monarch and his subjects will live in peace.If you feel uncomfortable, just hang up and leave!

Cao Cao's actions naturally attracted the attention of the two of them.One is Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. Cao Cao was recruiting troops in his territory. As an old acquaintance and friend, he had to come and ask.

After asking, I found out that it was Liu Tao who was recruiting, and Cao Cao planned to take people there to join him.

"The environment in Bingzhou is so bad, and there are Southern Huns on the Xihe River, Xianbei outside the Great Wall, how can Chen Liu be comfortable?" Zhang Miao had to persuade him, "Meng De, why don't you become a Sima in my department first, Looking for a chance to win another territory in the future, it’s better to have the final say than to have the final say by others, right?”

Zhang Miao didn't have so many ideas at the moment, he just tried to persuade Cao Cao out of his status as an old friend.

"Meng Zhuo has a heart, but Cao has made up his mind, so there is no need to persuade him." Cao Cao also knew that Zhang Miao was thinking about him, but it was okay if he didn't say it, and he remembered it after he said it.

Not only did Liu Tao completely subdue the Southern Huns, but he also defeated Xianbei twice, causing Xianbei to step down and form an alliance with him, and then formed a border trade.

Compared with those guys who hide behind and enjoy the comfort, this kind of behavior that disturbs the party internally and shocks everyone externally is more appetizing to him.Or to say: man, be so!

Seeing Cao Cao's firm attitude, Zhang Miao couldn't continue persuading him.I just can't figure it out, Bingzhou has no people and no land, or the border town needs to divide its troops to guard against the barbarians, how can the Central Plains be comfortable...

I really don't understand why Cao Cao likes to go to that kind of place to suffer.

Zhang Miao is one of the eight chefs, after all, he spent money to buy fame, and finally became the prefect of Chenliu.There is money in the family, and because of this, people are a little lazy and lazy.At the beginning, he served as Duqiwei, but he couldn't bear the hardships. After a little activity, he became the prefect of Chenliu.

The other one is Chen Liu's big businessman Wei Zi. In fact, he can't be called a big businessman. After all, his "family" is doing business. Wei Zi is a scholar, how could he be a businessman?The family has a small fortune...

"I heard that Meng De is going to Bingzhou?" Wei Zi took the initiative to find Cao Cao. After all, he has not become an official, so his attitude should be lowered.Strictly speaking, Cao Cao is also white now, and it is a matter of time before he is expropriated because of his reputation.

"Well, Bingzhou Mu has issued a requisition document, and Cao thinks he can go and have a look." Cao Cao said briefly.
