At this time, Dong Zhuo's former Prime Minister's Mansion had become a place of ceremonies for Cao Cao and other righteous teachers and princes of the Right Alliance.

"Luoyang is a long way from Chang'an, and there are only two roads to reach it. One road goes west from Tongguan, and the other goes straight up to Luoyang. Tongguan road is the shortest distance, and there is a natural danger in Tongguan, so Dong Gou must go to Tongguan. And if we take the Luo route, This journey is not only long, but the Shangluo area is famous for its bumpy and bumpy mountain roads. I'm afraid that when we arrive in Chang'an, all the soldiers under our command will be exhausted. If Dong Zhuo's army comes to kill us, we will definitely be defeated. So , or stay in Luoyang, and discuss it after the arrival of the army of the Righteous Master Zuomeng."

Tao Qian sat at the front of the left seat, holding his white beard under his chin and said.

"Haha. Don't worry about this, Mr. Tao. Because Wen Bufan has obtained Tongguan for our Righteous Teacher Alliance a few days ago!"

Cao Cao suddenly smiled and told an astonishing news, which made all the princes of the left and right lineages look stunned.

"What! Wen Champion actually won Tongguan. This..."

Zhang Yang's face was full of disbelief, and then he remembered Wen Han who had disappeared for more than ten days. When he left, Zhang Yang knew that he would do something shocking, but he didn't expect it to be Seizing Tongguan.

"Yes. Wen Bufan took Tongguan after a narrow escape. Your efforts were wasted and the golden opportunity he worked so hard for was wasted."

When Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo leaving in such a haste, he knew that Tongguan had not been recaptured, and he felt a little more respect for Wenhan in his heart.

"Wait, Leader Cao. Why are you so sure that Champion Wen successfully captured Tongguan?"

"Zhang Gongru think about it, if Dong Gou hadn't lost Tongguan, how could he have left Luoyang in such a haste. And according to the people in the city, Dong Gou had made sufficient preparations and wanted to take them away together. But in the end he was forced to leave Luoyang. Abandoning these people. The population of Chang'an is extremely small, without the people of Luoyang, the prosperity of the capital would not be visible at all. To force Dong Zhuo to abandon the people of Luoyang, except for Wen Bufan's taking Tongguan, Cao can't think of a reason the second."

"Mr. Cao's words are reasonable. But this is a big matter. If Tongguan is not in the hands of Wen Champion, it will delay the process of saving the saint. Moreover, Yishi Youmeng has repeatedly fought against Dong Gou's Liangzhou bandit army. In combat, the current strength is less than [-]. If you rush to pursue it, you are afraid that you will lose more troops. When Dong Zhuo's army arrives, the Yishi Youmeng will probably be swallowed up by them. So it is better to wait for the Yishi Zuomeng army to arrive in Luoyang. plan again"

Tao Qian still hoped to stay and wait for the army of the Righteous Master Zuomeng, and his words were also recognized by many princes.Cao Cao was very distressed, when suddenly a messenger with a dusty face came quickly to report.

"Report! I give the order of the prefect of my family to bring a secret letter to Chief Cao!"

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he shouted.

"Who is the prefect of your family?"

"My family's prefect is exactly the Wen champion that you all speak of!"

"Haha, good! Good! Hurry up and get the letter, and then go down to receive the reward!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and went to the messenger in person. The messenger carefully handed over the secret letter in his arms to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao couldn't wait to open the envelope, he began to read it.

In the letter, Han told Cao Cao that he sent a team of scouts to Luoyang a few days ago to investigate, and he had already learned that Luoyang had been captured by the Yishi Youmeng.Therefore, he hoped that Cao Cao would set off as soon as possible and lead the army to attack Chang'an, otherwise, when Dong Zhuo's army returned to Chang'an to recover, he would definitely send a large army to attack Tongguan.At that time, he can't guarantee how long he can keep it.

"Haha, good! Good! Gentlemen, please circulate it. After reading the contents of this letter, you will no longer doubt whether Tongguan is in Wen Bufan's hands."

Cao Cao laughed again and again, and passed the letter to Tao Qian. After Tao Qian read it, he passed the letter on. After a while, all the princes of the Yishi Youmeng had read the letter.

"So, what are we waiting for!? Just like Chairman Cao said, Wen Champion puts life and death aside, and has given us such a good opportunity for the Righteous Teacher and Right Alliance. If we don't seize it well, we will be ashamed of Wen Champion !"

Sun Jian slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and said forcefully.

"This…"

Tao Qian hesitated, and cast his eyes on Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang looked embarrassed, and he was speechless in a daze.Seeing this, Sun Jian frowned and opened his mouth.

Suddenly, another messenger ran in.The messenger was out of breath, and his face was full of joy, as if something great was going on.

"Report!! The Righteous Teacher... The ten princes of the Left League of Righteous Teachers have arrived!!!

"Hahaha!! Yuan Benchu ​​came just in time, so Tao Gong and Zhang Gong have no objections anymore!?"

After all, Cao Cao led the princes of the Yishi Youmeng out of the mansion, and went straight to the gate of Luoyang to meet the ten princes of the Yishi Zuomeng.

Under the Luoyang city gate, Yuan Shao was riding a fiery red BMW with a terrified face.And the princes of the Righteous Master Zuo League around him also looked a bit ugly, after all, Yuan Shao, who they supported, finally fell behind Cao Cao, and could not be the leader of the Righteous Master Zuo League.

And the moment Cao Cao's figure gradually appeared, Yuan Shao's gloomy face turned into a cloud of prey, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames.It seems that Cao Cao has taken away what he regards as life that cannot be lost.

"Haha, you are finally here at the beginning, you have kept Cao waiting for a long time!!"

Seeing Yuan Shao from far away, Cao Cao burst into laughter. Hearing Cao Cao's laughter, Yuan Shao's entire face twitched violently, while Yuan Shu, who was beside him, sneered again and again, as if he was saying he deserved it.

Yuan Shao endured it, and endured it any longer, in the eyes of many princes, if he could not control his reason at this time and lost his temper, he would definitely be ridiculed in the future.

Yuan Shao barely knew how to kneel down on one knee. The golden armor on his body made him stand out. Seeing Yuan Shao like this, all the princes of the Righteous Teacher Zuomeng followed suit, knelt down on one knee and said in unison.

"We have seen the chief ally!!"

Following the chorus of the ten princes of the Yishi Zuomeng, all the soldiers and horses behind them knelt down on one knee at the same time, nearly 8 people shouted in unison.

"We have seen the chief ally!"

Compared with the shouts of more than 8 people just now, they are simply far worse.The sound was so loud that almost the entire Luoyang City was shaken, and the sky and the earth were almost shaken.

This shocking momentum immediately attracted many Luoyang people to watch. All the people looked at Cao Cao with fanatical admiration in their eyes, and shouted Cao Cao's name one after another.

Listening to the sound of this wave being bigger than the previous wave, Cao Cao at this moment suddenly had a feeling that he could control everything in his hands.However, Cao Cao quickly regained his inner peace, and quickly walked in front of Yuan Shao, helped Yuan Shao up, and ordered the princes and soldiers to stand up.

"Haha. From today onwards, Benchu ​​will be the deputy leader of the righteous division!"

For Yuan Shao, this was simply a slap in the face, and the slap was extremely hard and deep, and it was watched by nearly 10 people.

"Cao Mengde!!! Damn you!!! Damn!!!"

Yuan Shao roared crazily in his heart. In front of tens of thousands of people, he has become an accessory of Cao Cao, the little man he has always regarded as his foil since he was a child!

In Yuan Shao's heart, he wished that he could cut Cao Cao into pieces, chop it into meat paste, and then feed it to the dogs, so as to vent his hatred like the deep sea.But inside and outside he had to put on a grateful expression.

"I, Yuan Benchu ​​received the order!!!"

These few words almost came out of Yuan Shao's mouth, Cao Cao vaguely sensed Yuan Shao's strangeness, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him.

"We are all subjects of the great man. We eat the emperor's salary and receive the emperor's long favor. We should work together to kill Dong Gou as soon as possible and rescue the emperor. I hope you don't care about this title at the beginning. Take care of it."

Now, every word Cao Cao utters is cutting Yuan Shao's heart like a sharp knife. Zhang Po mouth was sealed.

"You are so arrogant, you are so arrogant!! It is delusional to want my Yuan Benchu ​​to support you!!"

Yuan Shao roared in his heart, but said in his mouth.

"Don't worry about the leader of the alliance, I, Yuan Benchu, will do my best to help you and ensure that the righteous teacher will kill Dong Gou as soon as possible! You should listen carefully. From now on, anyone who does not obey the orders of the leader of the alliance will be with me, Yuan Benchu." I can't get through, I can't get through with the Yuan family in Runan, I can't get through with Erlang in Hanoi!!"

Yuan Shao pulled out the sword from his waist, turned around and shouted at the princes of Yuanyi Shi Zuomeng.Although many princes didn't like Yuan Shao's pretending to be majestic, they all echoed and expressed their willingness to obey Cao Cao's orders.

Cao Cao laughed, and ordered the ten princes who came to settle down their soldiers and horses first, and then came to the original prime minister's mansion to discuss matters.

Two hours later, when Yuan Shao and other ten princes came to sit together, Cao Cao proposed to attack Chang'an from Tongguan.Unexpectedly, when Cao Cao opened his mouth, Yuan Shao said that the soldiers under the command of the ten princes who had just arrived were all exhausted, and it would be useless to send troops to fight immediately.Except for Yuan Shao, the princes from all walks of life in the former Left League said that the soldiers had never recharged their energy and should not move lightly.

Cao Cao frowned, although he was a little annoyed, but what they said was reasonable, so they ordered the soldiers to rest for three days, and set off immediately after three days.Afterwards, Yuan Shao said that he felt tired and unwell, and wanted to return first.Yuan Shu, Liu Dai and other princes also said that they were tired. Seeing this, Cao Cao broke up the meeting and asked the princes to go back to rest.

At night, Cao Cao walked alone in the garden. He looked at the moonlight, but he had no intention of admiring the moon in his heart, but was thinking about today's meeting.He sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, and he was very upset.

"My lord, why are you worried? Ruo Yu guessed right, it should be because of the attitude of Yuan Benchu ​​and others."

Cao Cao didn't turn his head back, he was still looking at the bright moon above his head, this person's tone was honest and upright, Cao Cao could tell who was coming just by speaking.

"Hehe. Xun Wenruo is the one who knows me. At today's meeting, Yuan Benchu ​​said that he wanted to support Cao, but what he did was against Cao. Moreover, there are many princes in the original Zuomeng supporting him."

"Hey... my lord, don't you understand. Yuan Benchu ​​is narrow-minded and extremely proud, and he must be put first in everything. Now that my lord has become the general leader of this righteous teacher, of course he has resentment. Ruo Yu guessed right, three days Later, he will excuse his illness and bid farewell. The lord should make preparations first, so that the princes will not be influenced by Yuan Benchu, and their hearts will be scattered and they will go their separate ways.

After all, the Eighteenth Route princes fought against Dong Gou's bandit army repeatedly, and many princes suffered a lot of losses under their command.Now that Dong Zhuo has gone to Chang'an again, if the lord wants them to have the original passion and morale to fight against Dong Gou, it will be really difficult. "

In fact, Cao Cao had thought about this a long time ago, and Xun Yu also knew that with Cao Cao's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to have thought of this point, but it was only up to him to point it out.

Cao Cao sighed heavily, and slowly closed his eyes.

"So, Wen Ruo thinks, how many princes will be left after three days?"
