The princes gathered in the sour jujube, and took Yuan Shao as the leader to explore the strategies of conquering Dong Zhuo.

Everyone unanimously asked Yuan Shao to give advice, but he refused to speak out.

At first I looked at them as if I were kind, but over time, the pottery sitting at the last place saw some tricks.

It’s not that there is no strategy, nor that I can’t think of it… These people are all ignorant.

It is easy to make plans and formulate policies... But more than ten people have different commanders of the princes. It is easy to say that if they win, if they lose, who will be responsible? Who will bear the consequences?

No matter how well the established policy is formulated, these people are all different in their hearts. Who can guarantee that they will advance according to the established policy? Who dares to say that at a critical moment, some of them will not be able to pull a shuttle?

No one dares!

In fact, it is the same as what Tao merchants saw and heard in later generations... Sometimes people do more and get more, and sometimes they do more and more mistakes.

It is obvious that the current situation belongs to the latter.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone was shirking their responsibilities, but he was already the leader of the alliance, but he could not shirk his responsibilities... This matter was a bit difficult to deal with.

While thinking, Yuan Shao suddenly turned his eyes and saw Cao Cao with a swollen face and black eyes. When he was thinking about it, he immediately had an idea.

Yuan Shao had a close relationship with Cao Cao when he was young... He knew that this kid had the ambition and ideal of supporting the Han Dynasty and protecting the country and the people. From the heart, Cao Cao's point was very rewarding to Yuan Shao.

Unfortunately, although Cao Cao had good ambitions, he restricted him a little... Cao Cao was the grandson of the eunuch Cao Teng and was the descendant of the eunuch.

Although Cao Teng's reputation was good, he was still an eunuch... Especially after the disaster of the Party and the Ten Generals' Rebellion, eunuchs were classified as evil parties and political sects in the hearts of aristocratic families and gentry, and one was counted as another... This concept cannot be transferred by Cao Cao's actions alone.

"Meng De!" Yuan Shao smiled and shouted to Cao Cao, "Meng De has always been in love with the Han Dynasty and is determined to save the country from water and fire... Yuan and Meng De have been familiar with each other for many years, and know that Meng De's military strategy is excellent. Why not let Meng De try to explain it?"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, slowly stood up, bowed and said, "Since that's the case, Cao has something to say, please listen quietly."

After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Dong Zhuo lives in Luoyang. As far as the terrain is concerned, the land of Hulao Xingyang is the place where Hulao Xingyang is! The most urgent thing is that we can divide our troops into three groups, from Henoi, and head south to Huai County. The southeast direction of Huai County is Ao Cang, an important place for Luoyang to store grain, and block the Yellow River and Jishui diversion. The grain from the Central Plains is all transported from this place to Guanzhong and its northern part. It is actually the top priority. We must seize this place before Dong Zhuo completely transports the Ao Cang Mansion and Grain Deposit, and attack Xingyang based on this basis!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Although they did not express their opinions on their faces, they couldn't help but look down on Cao Cao a little bit.

The analysis is indeed pertinent and accurate, and it is really to the point!

Seeing that everyone was not suspicious, Cao Cao continued: "The second route is to advance from the Lanzao County, which is where we are now heading to attack the hinterland of Xingyang. However, there are many guards along the way, Juan County, Guangwu City, Hulao Pass, etc. will become obstacles... but they can attract Dong Zhuo's main force the most. Although this route is the most difficult, it is also the key to victory or defeat."

After saying that, Cao Cao said again: "In the third line, I would like to ask the governor of Yuzhou, Gong Gong, and General Sun, the prefect of Changsha, to send troops from Yangdi, occupy Yangcheng south of Luoyang, and to support the southeast with the Xuanzao Tun Army in the middle line, to attack Dong Zhuo in both directions! Ke Jing made every effort!"

Speaking of excitement, Cao Cao took a big step forward, his tone slightly improved, and said: "In addition, if the princes of various vassals are divided into three routes in the southeast, north and north to march into Luoyang, food and grass dispatch is the top priority. There must be at least two princes in the coalition, one in the south and one in the north, to clear the grain channels for the coalition forces and provide support to ensure that the alliances are worry-free."

After saying that, there was no sound in the tent.

Cao Cao seemed to feel that he was being too excited and showed his expression. He smiled slightly and sat down and stopped talking.

Tao Shang squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Cao, feeling a lot of emotion.

When I met Cao Cao in the market the previous episode, I was somewhat judging people by his appearance, but I was really too superficial... Now after listening to Cao Cao's words, I realized that the number one figure in the Three Kingdoms is worthy of being the number one in the Three Kingdoms, and its potential is truly infinite.

However, Cao Cao is not the later Sikong of the Han Dynasty, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the Duke of Wei, who took the emperor to command the princes...

Tao Shang could see that Cao Cao had no idea of ​​being arrogant now. All he thought about was how to support the Han Dynasty, how to defeat Dong Zhuo, how to save the emperor, and how to return the world to peace.

This is a truly ideal and ambition. When so many people shirking responsibility for each other because of their own scheming, only Cao Cao dares to stand up and express his opinions.

This is not stupidity, but demeanor! It is a view of the overall situation!

Although there are more than ten princes in the tent, the ambitions and ambitions in the hearts of others, including loyalty and righteousness, are not as good as Cao Cao alone.

Yuan Shao touched the three strokes of his jaw, pondered silently for a while, and praised: "Meng De's words are very good, I wonder what you think?"

The governor of Yanzhou, Liu Dai, the prefect of Henei, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Chenliu, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Guangling, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Dongjun, and others expressed their agreement.

Someone took the blame, so they were naturally happy!

Yuan Shao stood up and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then the whole way of Henei will be led by Yuan, the prefect of Henei, Wang Kuang, the prefect of Shangdang, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Guangling, and Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai. The middle way of the Sour Zaozao is led by Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, my brother Yuan Yi, the prime minister of Jibei, Gongsun Zan, and Meng Deren. The whole way of the south is led by Kongzhou, the governor of Yingchuan, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and Tao Shang, the governor of Xuzhou. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was led by Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was led by the dispatch of grain and grass in the north in the rear, and my brother Yuan Shu is led by the supply of grain and grass in the south. What do you think?"

The princes nodded in agreement.

Although Yuan Shu was unfair, Yuan Shao asked him to govern the southern food and grass, and finally regarded him as his own... Although he was suspected of not wanting him to make meritorious contributions, being able to stay in the rear was considered to be a safeguarding his strength, and Yuan Shu had nothing to say.

However, what was unexpected was that Cao Cao actually stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "There are only three princes in the south, which is a bit weak. If Dong thief first concentrates his elite troops to attack Yangcheng, he may lose something. It is better to lead Cao to the south to assist them, what about?"

Yuan Shao placed Cao Cao in the middle lane because there were many princes in the middle lane and were quite strong.

Yuan Shao intended to protect Cao Cao, wanting him to minimize his losses... After all, Cao Cao had just raised an army in Chenliu, and his subordinates were few and few... He was said to be a prince, but in name, he was still Zhang Miao's subordinate.

Cao Cao took the initiative to transfer to the south, which made Yuan Shao a little embarrassed.

I was determined to persuade this old friend, but all the princes were here, so some words were really inconvenient to explain in detail.

Seeing Cao Cao's eyes firm, Yuan Shao was helpless and had to indirectly attack: "Meng De had such a heart that was amazing, but Yuan felt that although there were only three princes in the south, Sun Wentai was extremely brave and good at using troops, and was intimidating the world! With him in charge, it would be okay whether you go or not."

This was already very clear, and he also gave Cao Cao a step.

I don’t know whether Cao Cao didn’t understand Yuan Shao’s kindness or deliberately pretended to be stupid and refused flatly: “We are all for the country, so why should we stick to the strength of the troops? Wentai is brave and strong, but although I, Cao Cao, is weak, I am willing to do my best to the country, not seeking merit but seeking a sense of shame.”

These words completely retorted Yuan Shao's kindness.

On the other side, a burly man with silver-white armor stood up and praised him proudly: "Meng De serves the country and the people so well, is a hero! A family sincerely admires me. Although I, Gongsun Zan, have not been talented, I have also brought 30,000 elite troops in the north... I am now under the order of the leader of the alliance, and advance with everyone in the army in Suzao! But I am willing to send capable generals to lead 5,000 elite troops to help Meng De!"

Gongsun Zan opened his mouth, and all the princes present were surprised!

What kind of person is Gongsun Zan? He was a powerful general who galloped outside the border and was terrified by Hu's abduct. His white horse was in a state of terror.

Among the more than ten princes, if you talk about the most skilled in fighting, Sun Jian should be the south, and who dares to say that it is not Gongsun Zan in the north?

These two powerful armies in the south and the north can be regarded as the trump card among the coalition of princes.

He promised to help Cao Cao five thousand soldiers, which was much more valuable than others helping Cao Cao 50,000.

Seeing that Gongsun Zan had not yet promised him, Yuan Shao helped Cao Cao casually, and was extremely displeased.

But Gongsun Zan was a rare strongman among the princely army and fought with the northern nomadic peoples all year round. His troops were brave and fierce, especially the number of cavalry, which was probably the most important among the coalition forces.

Yuan Shao is temporarily unwilling to offend such a person.

"Okay." Yuan Shao said lightly: "Since Meng De had this intention, he would be transferred to the southern alliance of Yangren City. Gongsun Prefect wants to help you 5,000 elite soldiers. His actions are commendable. If you succeed in the future, you can also remember the credit card!"

Everyone kept talking nonstop, but the Taoist merchant was very confused.

In history, the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and they did divide their troops into several groups, but if they remember correctly, Cao Cao and Sun Jian must be not on the same line... Why has they become such a situation now?

Cao Cao volunteered to be transferred to the south to the march road...what did he fight?

After the decision was made, Yuan Shao immediately ordered a banquet to invite all the princes to the banquet.

The dinner was held after the meeting, and it was the same in ancient and modern times... the unique tradition of Chinese people.

The pottery still kept a low profile, hiding in a small corner, silently eating food in the cauldron.

In fact, he couldn't help but not be low-key. The princes were cheering each other up and loudly, basically all around Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others. Who has the time to take care of him, this little doll? If his father Tao Qian was here, maybe there were still several princes to come and take care of him...

But since Tao Qian is not here, please ask his son to stand aside in this occasion.

Of course, this doesn't matter to the pottery merchant. He was still happy and hid aside and ate and drank silently.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, but someone comes to disturb the purity of the pottery.

A person that the pottery merchant really doesn't want to contact.

"Young Master Tao! Long time has we been missing?" A thin black man took the crowd to drink, and came to the pottery seat with a wine pot and a wine cup.

When he heard this sound, Tao Shang's waist suddenly straightened... It was Cao Cao!

Almost in an instant, the pottery jumped up from the stool, without saying a word, and ran away from the coach's tent.

Thirty-six strategies are the best!

But after just two steps, the pottery merchant found in pain that no matter how he blew, the scenery on both sides did not move at all.

He looked back and thought to himself...

Cao Cao threw the wine cup at some point in his right hand, tightly grasped the back of his clothes, dragging the pottery firmly to the spot, and a hideous smile appeared on his dark face.

"Run, run again, I see where you can run?"

Why don’t you run away, why are you staying here? Remind your past with you? Bah!

Tao Shang cursed in his heart, turned around and pulled the back of the clothes with both hands. He was about to pull it away, but he stopped again...

Tao Shang raised his hands obediently because he felt something cold was pressing against his back... It was an exquisite short crossbow, with a string hanging on it.

The same model as the pottery warrior used to gesture Xu Chu in the tent.

Cao Cao was holding a sharp short crossbow with one hand, aiming at the pottery's waist, and whispered coldly: "I want to give it a try, is it faster or you faster."

grandson!

Tao Shang was almost crying, but on the surface, he turned around slowly and smiled and said, "Where is no meeting in life? Isn't this General Cao? As the saying goes, we have been familiar with each other again. This is the second time we have met, and we should be considered an old acquaintance."

Cao Cao sneered: "If you are familiar with me, you have to pay back the old debt you owe me!"

Tao Shang stared at the guy in Cao Cao's hand, and the smile on his face became more friendly and enthusiastic, saying, "It's okay to say it, who will be with us brothers... General Cao is merciful and be careful of getting angry."
Chapter completed!
