However, Cao Cao wanted Luoyang, but Lu Lang did not want to agree to this.

After sending Le Jin to leave, Lu Lang came to Guo Jia and Xun Yu to discuss matters.

Guo Jia advised Lu Lang: "Lord, Dong Zhuohu is in Chang'an, Hongnong, Anding and Tianshui counties, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals. This is really not to be fought against!"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "At present, no prince in the world can shake Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo is not interested in Bingzhou. This can be seen from his asking Lu Bu to station troops in Luoyang!"

Guo Jia said: "Lu Bu stationed troops in Luoyang to shock Cao Cao. Li Ru arranged this move very cleverly. Because he calculated correctly, outside the Central Plains Pass, we, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have the greatest power. Among them, Yuan Shao is ready to take action against Youzhou. Once Youzhou is obtained by Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao's power will be too great. It is very likely that we are not as powerful as Yuan Shao's family when we join forces with Cao Cao. However, if Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou and Youzhou, it cannot pose a threat to Dong Zhuo far away in Hexi. Only we and Cao **** can threaten! Cao Cao has a grudge against Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao will definitely not wait for Yuan Shao to grow and deal with him!"

"If Cao Cao wants to develop, he or she will either limit Yuan Shao's development!"

Xun Yu said: "But Lu Bu stationed troops in Hulao Pass, which poses too great a threat to Yingchuan and Chenliu. In this way, Cao Cao could not advance eastward to Xuzhou and Beihai, nor to restrict Yuan Shao's development northward. That's why Cao Cao sent an envoy to submit to his sanctions and ask us to join him!"

Lu Lang didn't understand, so he asked, "Two gentlemen, do you say that Dong Zhuo is powerful at some time, and then you talk about the situation outside the pass. What exactly do you want to express?"

Xun Yu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and then Xun Yu said to Lu Lang: "Lord, our opinion is that we can agree to form an alliance with Cao Cao, but... we cannot use troops against Dong Zhuo!"

"At least not yet at this stage!" Guo Jia added: "But... if the time is ripe in the future, it is OK. I think the lord can take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with Cao Cao and lure Cao Cao to fight Lu Bu. Once the war starts in the east, then Dong Zhuo's troops in Hongnong City will definitely not dare to act rashly. No matter how crazy he, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, would not dare to fight with us and Cao Cao at the same time? Don't forget that Han Sui and Ma Teng from Xiliang have always been thinking about the two places of Tianshui and Anding!"

Sure enough, Guo Jia was still far away. Lu Lang was overjoyed after hearing Guo Jia's words, so he decisively adopted Guo Jia's suggestion, and then summoned Le Jin. Lu Lang said to Le Jin: "Wen Qian, I thought about it for a long time last night. I think the suggestion put forward by your lord is very feasible. Let's do this! I send troops to attack Hongnong, and your lord sends troops to attack Lu Bu, but... the content of the alliance needs to be changed! Whoever attacks Luoyang first, what about Luoyang? "

"this……"

Le Jin frowned, wondering what Lu Lang was thinking, so he asked: "Prime Minister, isn't it good for both cities, both east and west, to occupy one place?"

"hehe……"

Lu Lang smiled and said, "Everyone knows the good and bad places in these two places! So, if your family first captures Luoyang, then Hongnong County is also yours in addition to Luoyang and the surrounding Chengguan. If we attack Luoyang first, then the convenience of this area is ours from Bingzhou. That's it, you... will Xuchang report!"

In this way, there is no room for negotiation.

Le Jin was repatriated by Lu Lang. When Le Jin left Bingzhou, Lu Lang also explained: "Wen Qian, when you go to Xuchang, you can go to Yangxian to take a look. My 50,000 army is ready. Once you start attacking Luoyang, I will also start attacking Hongnong!"

Le Jin was skeptical, but he still went to Yangxian to inquire and then returned to Xuchang.

After returning to Xuchang, Le Jin was called over by Cao Cao as soon as possible.

Cao Cao, who is thirty-seven now, has a short figure and a short beard. Although his figure is not very tall, Cao Cao's eyes are very sharp. As soon as he sees Le Jin, he laughs and asks: "Wen Qian, but Lu Lang doesn't agree with the conditions we have proposed?"

Le Jin nodded to Cao Cao, and then said, "Lord, Lu Lang said whoever enters Luoyang first, Luoyang and Hongnong are!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao said without thinking: "It's fake? Lu Lang is in Hebei, I am in Yanzhou, how could Lu Lang attack Luoyang first than us? Could it be that Lu Lang is fooling us? What should we do if we attack Luoyang, but Lu Lang does not move his troops?"

Cao Cao had always been very suspicious. He looked at Du Xi, the chief of the Yanzhou General's Mansion next to him and asked: "Do you think Lu Lang is from the sincere alliance?"

Du Xi thought for a while, and then said, "Lord, Lu Lang is sincere and does not know, but his subordinates know that Yuan Shao has secretly united the people of Wuhuan and other tribes, preparing to unite with him to attack Youzhou from north to south! The Yuan family has a deep foundation in Hebei and is loved by Wuhuan and others, but Gongsun Zan is still in the dark, so Gongsun Zan will definitely be defeated by Yuan Shao! Once Yuan Shao destroys Gongsun Zan, the land that Yuan Shao will always be several times that of our Yanzhou. So lord, we must take advantage of Yuan Shao's attack on Youzhou, either send troops to the official ferry or... to the east to attack Beihai and take down Qingzhou in order to compete with Yuan Shao!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao frowned and thought deeply when he heard this.

"Master!"

"speak!"

Le Jin clasped his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, when we were about to be Xuchang, we went to Yang County to investigate secretly. Lu Lang had indeed stationed 50,000 troops, and he was training every day. The person who led the troops was Xu Huang, the general under Lu Lang!"

"oh?"

Cao Cao said: "This doesn't seem fake. By the way, Wen Qian, have you met anyone else when you arrived in Bingzhou this time?"

Le Jin replied: "There is a perfect man to hide..."

Then Le Jin told Cao Cao about the gift he gave to Fu Wan.

"Yeah, it's done well!"

Cao Cao praised Le Jin and said, "I have to send someone to Bingzhou to find out the truth and reality. It is best to stay in Bingzhou so that we can grasp every move of Bingzhou at any time! Do you have a good candidate?"

Du Xi thought about it and then said, "This person must be the lord's confidant, it is best to be in the same clan as the lord..."

"Um!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then he thought of someone, so his eyes lit up and he said, "If you have one, I will send my brother to Bingzhou!"
