There were too many people around Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao was on the edge. Liu Zhang didn't notice him at all for the first time.
Cao Cao bowed his hand to Liu Zhang. The two did not have a deep friendship or any personal grudges. Generally speaking, they could be regarded as acquaintances.
"I haven't seen you for many years, General Wei is still as charming as ever!"
"Haha, I heard that Brother Meng De had great ambitions and devoted himself to eradicating thieves for the country. He also said that after his death, the tombstone was inscribed with the tomb of the general who conquered the West of Han Dynasty! Why are you working with the thieves today?"
Cao Cao was different from the two Yuans. Liu Zhang had to be extremely careful when talking to him, and he had to pre-empt others at every turn.
"I didn't expect General Wei to be the person who knows me, Cao Cao, best!"
A trace of shock flashed across Cao Cao's eyes. General Conquest of the West had always been his ideal, but he had never told anyone about it. After all, Cao Cao's status as a eunuch was really despised.
"I, Cao Cao, hate the foreign tribes who inflict evil on the frontiers of the Han Dynasty. I always think about leading my elite troops to kill the traitors!"
"Mengde, when fighting foreign forces, you must first pacify the interior. You are surrounded by thieves, how can you have the energy to kill the foreign thieves?"
Liu Zhang chuckled and continued to bring the conflict to the coalition forces.
However, Cao Cao is obviously not comparable to Yuan, and he has ways to deal with Liu Zhang's rhetoric.
"General Wei, I heard the general said before the court that great treachery seems like loyalty, and great hypocrisy seems like truth. Cao admires it very much! Loyalty and treachery have never been defined, but what Dong Zhuo did, is there one of them?
Loyal?"
Liu Zhang raised his palm and interrupted Cao Cao's remarks.
"Brother Meng De, Dong Zhuo followed the late emperor's will and supported the second prince to the throne. Isn't this loyalty?"
Cao Cao smiled and shook his head, not agreeing with Liu Zhang's words.
"General Wei, there is no way to find out whether the late emperor left any will or not."
"Who says there is no way to prove it? I swear to God that the late emperor told me personally when he was dying that he wanted the second prince to inherit the throne!"
While Liu Zhang swore, he also raised his hands in the air with a very serious attitude.
This made the coalition forces slightly stunned. At this time, people paid great attention to oaths. The more status people had, the more they cared about it. Since Liu Zhang had sworn, he probably wasn't lying.
"Even so, it is true that Dong Zhuo killed Zhongliang and committed adultery in the harem. As an old minister of the late emperor, should General Wei turn a blind eye?"
Cao Cao's reaction was quick, and the successor couldn't explain it, so he directly shifted to Dong Zhuo's behavior.
What Dong Zhuo did was outrageous and resentful. Now Liu Zhang would have no way to defend himself!
"Haha, why is Brother Meng De so naive? Doesn't this kind of thing happen when the Yuan family is in power? Which superior person does not exclude dissidents? As for the promiscuous harem, I don't know about it, let alone see it."
Cao Cao frowned, Liu Zhang was so quibbling.
"General Wei, just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen. No one in the world knows what Dong Zhuo did. Otherwise, why would all the heroes rise up together?"
Liu Zhang still had an indifferent expression, and even had a slight smile on his lips.
"I will only believe what I see with my own eyes."
Cao Cao wanted to argue with Liu Zhang again, but was immediately stopped by Yuan Shao.
"Mengde, why do you bother to talk to these rebellious officials and traitors? Let's wait until we capture him and see if he is still so tough-mouthed!"
Yuan Shao had heard enough of the arguing words, and even heard Liu Zhang's voice and felt sick!
If you want to avenge your shame, catching Liu Zhang is undoubtedly the most effective way!
At this moment, there were only a thousand people around Liu Zhang. Yuan Shao believed that as long as his men swarmed up, Liu Zhang could definitely be captured!
Just when Yuan Shao was about to order the entire army to attack, Liu Zhang saw through his plan.
"Yuan Benchu, how can you, a lowly concubine like you, lead the heroes? In my opinion, it is better to give up the position of leader of the alliance to Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family!"
Yuan Shu was originally very disgusted with Liu Zhang, but after hearing these words, he immediately changed his previous attitude. The more he looked at Liu Zhang, the cuter he became!
If the situation didn't allow it, Yuan Shu would have really wanted to rush over and hug Liu Zhang, and then yell at Yuan Shao to get out.
But Yuan Shao didn't think so, and his fists clenched, and he became even more angry when he saw the proud smile on Yuan Shu's face.
"Traitor, don't try to sow discord here. Our Yuan family's brotherhood is as strong as gold. You can't instigate it with just a few words!"
When Yuan Shao said this, he might not be embarrassed himself, but the heroes around him were.
Love is stronger than gold... You Yuan Shao really dare to say that!
"Okay, let it be what you say! I, Liu Zhang, am not someone who takes advantage of others' danger. You have just arrived here and have not set up camp yet, so I won't lead my army to attack you. What do you think, is it interesting?"
Yuan Shao is really going crazy. Liu Zhang did all this good stuff! He didn't take advantage of others' danger. If he raises troops now, wouldn't he be a villain in vain?
"Then if you don't stay at Hulao Pass, what are you doing here?"
Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Liu Zhang laughed again.
"Haha, I'm here to learn the methods of the heroes of Guandong, evil is coming!"
Upon hearing Liu Zhang's order, Dian Wei clapped his horse forward and raised his big halberd with both hands.
"Under General Wei, General Dian Wei! Who dares to come and die!"
It turns out that Liu Zhang came to fight against the generals! No wonder he only brought so few soldiers!
The prefects around Yuan Shao were a little relieved. After all, Liu Zhang was famous and it would be unwise to fight him immediately as soon as he arrived at Hulao Pass.
On the contrary, fighting against generals is much simpler. There are more than ten people here, and there are not a few generals to compete with Liu Zhang?
"Haha, Liu Zhang, you are really arrogant! You treat us prefects and generals like nothing!"
Yuan Shao suddenly felt that the fighting general is not bad. As long as the fighting general wins, he can give Liu Zhang a huge blow! If the situation allows, he can also take advantage of the situation and press the entire army!
"Stop talking nonsense! If you have the guts, just come forward!"
When Dian Wei saw Yuan Shao, a tall and handsome boy, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart. He wished he could chop him in half with a halberd!
The same goes for Yuan Shao. He didn't even bother to take a look at an ugly, dark-skinned barbarian like Dian Wei.
"Whoever dares to fight will take down this ugly ghost for me!"
"I go!"
I saw a man rushing out of the formation. He was full of momentum and rushed towards Dian Wei with a big sword raised.
"Who is this?"
Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Bao Xin at the side quickly responded with his hands.
"To the leader of the alliance, this is my younger brother Bao Zhong! Bao Zhong possesses great strength and is difficult to defeat. He will definitely be able to kill generals for the leader of the alliance."
Yuan Shao nodded lightly and looked at Bao Xin with a look of relief.
"Hey, General Bao Xin, I'm afraid General Bao Zhong won't be able to kill generals for the general in the future..."
Bao Xin looked unhappy, Yuan Shu was too rude!
"What do you mean, general? Do you look down on my brother?"
Yuan Shu gently raised his head forward and motioned to Bao Xin to take a look at the situation on the court.
Bao Xin quickly turned his head to the battlefield and saw that Bao Zhong had already fallen to the ground, without even a single scream before his death.
