The pottery merchant was drinking in Cao Cao's military camp. The two talked a lot and talked about the past. This was also a reward for the pottery merchant.

After three rounds of wine, I went through five flavors, and before I knew it, both of them were a little drunk.

At this moment, Xu Chu led people to Cao Cao's camp and said bluntly that he was here to pick up Tao Shang back to the camp.

However, Pei Qian was hinted by Tao merchants and rushed back to move Xu Chu to serve as a rescuer.

After Xu Chu came to Cao's camp, he was not polite. He strode into Cao Cao's tent, standing upright behind Tao Shang, and remained unmoved, his mightyness! Cao Cao was so amazed that he kept exclaiming, and his eyes were constantly showing a divine light of appreciation, just like a hungry wolf seeing a little fat sheep, and his eyes were about to be green.

Cao Cao's eyes and drooling expression made Tao Shang feel embarrassed... This is really what he has captured.

After a few more polite words, the Tao merchant stood up and said goodbye. Cao Cao had made friends with Tao merchant today, so he didn't force himself to stay and stood up to see him off.

After the Tao merchant bid farewell to Cao Cao, he returned to the Xuzhou army camp with Xu Chu and his escorts. On the way, Xu Chu asked Tao merchant: "I didn't expect that the black short man was really Cao Cao... We offended him the previous episode, but he actually invited the eldest son to drink today, but what was his idea?"

"I guess... I just want to make friends with you, there are not so many conspiracies." The pottery looked up at the dark night sky and murmured.

Xu Chu was quite confused and said, "Don't lose your mother, this kid has been beaten up by us. If you don't hold a grudge against us, you still have to make friends? What's the trick?"

Tao Shang smiled and said, "The mind is like the sea, and he does not care about small things. This is the person who does big things, and there is nothing strange about it."

Xu Chu shook his head: "It's a trivial matter to be beaten like that?... I'm really convinced, but if you don't say it, I really don't believe that there are such people in this world."

The Tao Shang thought to himself that if you knew that Cao Cao's son died at the hands of Zhang Xiu in history and accepted his surrender, you might not have thought so.

Later generations had more or less artistically processed the image of Cao Cao, but the pottery did not agree with it... At least in his heart, a person who was only suspicious, treacherous and cunning could not become the overlord of unifying northern China. The reason why Cao Cao was able to become the most powerful prince in the late Eastern Han Dynasty must have the mind, ambition, ideal and demeanor that others could not see.

Just by looking at the word "Songli Xing" you can see through the leopard and know your concern for the country and the people.

………………………………………

After formulating a strategy to attack Dong Zhuo, the next day, Yuan Shao arranged for the princes to hold an unprecedented oath-taking ceremony and a bloody ceremony in the sour jujube.

Yuan Shao arranged his soldiers to build tall sacrificial sacrifices in Lanzao County. The platform was two feet high, with fifty five-sided flags arranged around him, white flags and yellow axes, soldiers' talismans and generals seals, killing animals to sacrifice, and offering sacrifices to heaven to seek war.

The ancients attached great importance to the ritual of sacrifice. Sometimes, a good ritual of sacrifice to heaven was the best and most convenient way to improve morale.

He slaughtered pigs and sheep, and sent the sacrifices to the worship platform. After the princes worshipped the heaven and earth, he invited Yuan Shao to the altar.

Yuan Shao put on his clothes and wore a sword, walked up to the ground, burned incense and bowed again, and recited the oath of the covenant loudly.

"The Han Dynasty was unfortunate and the imperial system was out of power. The traitorous minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the danger and harmed the supreme disaster and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the country, and merged with the righteous soldiers and went to the national crisis. Anyone who joined the alliance and worked together to achieve the integrity of the ministers would have no two ambitions. With this alliance, he would lose his life and not be able to conquer the remaining children. The emperor and the emperor and his ancestors were wise and spiritual, and they all understood it!"

All the princes were generous because of their words and tears.

Although the oath is heroic and powerful, it also means to whom, to the princes and the soldiers of Kanto, it may be a heart-warming, tear-jerking and morale-enhancing word for the alliance letter.

But for the pottery merchant, Yuan Shao's words were no different from hypnotic books. After talking, he only made the pottery merchant's words confused and shaking them on the spot for three times. He was really sleepy.

After reading the oath, Yuan Shao said generously: "Everyone, let's fight against Dong thief together, and drink today! Let's make a vow with blood!"

Tao Shang was about to fall asleep while standing and hearing this scream, and immediately became energetic!

"Don't even donate blood?"

Standing beside Tao Shang was Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, who was brave and very loyal to the Han Dynasty. He was a good soldier who was under his command in the past and was ranked alongside Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Bao Xin turned his head kindly to look at the pottery merchant, smiled and said, "If you want to make a blood alliance, you must release some blood! Otherwise, how can you consolidate your determination to advance and integrate all blood to show the world that we are equal to advance and retreat together!"

The potter's Adam's apple rolled a little and asked Bao Xin whispered: "Is it a finger cut?"

Bao Xin laughed and shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not!"

Tao Merchant breathed a sigh of relief.

Bao Xin continued to whisper: "The blood from cutting fingers is enough... at least you have to cut your wrists!"

The potter almost cried after hearing this.

"I'm in poor health... I can only offer 200."

The pottery broker was not allowed to bargain. Some soldiers had prepared a cauldron and a scimitar and presented it to each prince. The pottery broker squintly at Bao Xin beside him, picked up the scimitar, without blinking, and cut it down hard according to his wrist!

For a moment, the blood on Bao Xin's wrist flowed downwards, as if he had accidentally cut a major artery, which was amazing.

The pottery pointed at Bao Xin and turned to ask the soldier who was holding the tripod: "He has flowed so much, can he just give it to me?"

The soldier refused to buy it and turned around and handed the cauldron and another unused knife to the pottery merchant.

"Brother, I think there is a lot of blood in this cauldron... If you put it on again, the taste will be impure... If you don't have the right to write it down, will I donate more next time I attack others?" The pottery discussed with the soldier carefully.

The soldier frowned when he heard this...Next time?

Bao Xin looked around and said, "This child is so young, why is he so unrestrained? A man is so afraid of half a pound of blood!"

Bao Xin didn't care whether the potter's promise or not, and reached out and pulled the potter's sleeve, fucked the scimitar with his hand, and chopped it against the potter's white wrist like cutting pork.

"Slow down...ah!"

After the blood was over, everyone took the bloody wine from the cauldron and ate it with their cups.

Tao Shang wanted to cry without tears... It would be fine if he let blood, but he had to drink it back with his mouth? What is the difference between drinking it and not letting it go? Are these people having problems?

With so many blood mixed in, what if anyone has a messy disease... wouldn't it all spread to him?

The potter seized the opportunity and secretly poured the blood wine back...

Everything was right, Yuan Shao shouted: "Although Shao is not talented, since Duke Cheng and others are recommended to be the leader of the alliance, they will be rewarded for their merits and punished for their crimes. The state has national laws and the army has iron laws. Everyone should abide by them and do not violate them."

Everyone said that only orders are the ones who listen.

Yuan Shao continued: "According to the previous Japanese military order, all the princes stationed in their respective stations to order troops. The three groups of people attacked directly to Xingyang!"

"promise!"

...

...

Dongdu, Luoyang.

Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty, was divided into Nangong and Beigong, which were located in the north and south of Luoyang City. The two palaces were connected by a tall walled road in the middle. In the past, the emperor walked on the middle road, guarding the left and right sides, and guarding one guard in ten steps.

The front hall of Nangong is the Chingfei Hall. Now, only the place where the emperor comes to the court to report to officials to discuss politics. The main hall behind the Chingfei Hall is Deyang Hall, which is three zhang high and one zhang high. The hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There are pools surrounding the hall, jade steps and red beams, the altar is made of patterned stones, the walls are decorated with colorful paintings, and golden pillars are carved with beautiful figures.

The Deyang Hall, which was supposed to be used by the emperor, has now become a special place for Dong Zhuo... The Prime Minister Dong was rampant in the harem and controlled the government. He used the Deyang Hall as the basis for the time being. Now he is recruiting confidants to discuss the secrets, which is also here.

Dong Zhuo was sitting on the side of the main seat in the hall at this moment, which was considered to be a matter of understanding of the ethics of the rules and ethics, and did not sit in the right position that should belong to the emperor... But the generals and ministers who were in the lower head thought that it might not take long for the position to be the prime minister to take a seat.

Dong Zhuo is no longer young, with a lot of beard and wrinkles on his face.

I saw his hair gray, his face was turmeric, and his cheeks were deeply entangled with a look of sickness and disgust. However, his body was very big, and his back, who was over fifty years old, was not at all restrained. It showed that his body was extremely tough and he was worthy of being a military leader.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's thief... he actually gathered so many princes to make me rebellious... Haha, how did that sentence come out? You are so terrifying! Is it?" Dong Zhuo read the military newspaper in his hand while the old god was teasing him.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, Li Ru should be the leader of his wisdom. He stepped out of his rank and reported: "The Prime Minister and the princes of Guandong gathered together with a great momentum and great strength, which was enough to fight against the army and horses of the central government! At present, they were divided into three groups, from Hanoi, the Sorazao, and the Yang people advanced respectively. No matter which way they are weak or which way they are, their goal was to attack Hulao and pass Xingyang. The Prime Minister should immediately dispatch troops and generals, so as not to delay, so as not to lose the opportunity."

Dong Zhuo did not answer Li Ru, but instead said to himself: "I led the Western Liang army into the capital. I first used a plan to recruit He Jin and He Miao's Kyoto Weiwu Army, and then I had to lead the Bingzhou army to compete with each other. I thought that looking at the world, everyone would be convinced! Who would have thought that the world has changed? The princes not only did not accept me, but also joined forces to raise troops. They were really arrogant..."

Speaking of this, the fat old man laughed and his expression became extremely excited again. There seemed to be a hint of red light in his eyes, and he said hoarsely like a hungry wolf: "It's so arrogant... it's so arrogant! It's so interesting. If you surrender to everyone, it's so boring! If you don't accept it, I will beat you to the point!"

Li Ru smiled and said, "The prime minister is so talented that he can regard the princes in Guandong as grass."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said, "In my opinion, half of the princes of Guandong are mediocre talents, but there are indeed a few difficult people among them. Those who can be considered: two Yuan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan, Bao Xin and Wang Kuang."

After saying that, Dong Zhuo raised his head, looked at Li Ru, and said, "Wenyou, can you teach me how to retreat to the enemy?"

Li Ru shook his head ashamed and said, "When conspiracy and tricks are the strengths of the Conspiracy... But at this moment, war is inevitable and tricks are useless! If we talk about the method of using troops, the prime minister will fight east and west, who can go out to the left? The prime minister must personally dispatch the matters of using troops to dispatch them."

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well! Since that's the case, I will order troops and send generals...all generals obey orders!"

All the fierce generals in their armor left and right left and right went out of the squad: "Here!"

Dong Zhuo picked up the military prelude on the table and said while shaking, "Yuan Shao was sacrificing blood to the sky, intending to challenge me. His troops were divided into three groups. One went to Hanoi. The intention was to take away my Ao Cang, the second went to Soy Jujube, which was a dignified and positive army. He could avoid the edge and the third went to Yang people. This was a strange soldier, which could gather the elite troops to defeat him first!"
