The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 70

Chang'an was Dong Zhuo's stronghold, and he still brought all the civil and military officials with him, and the big man was still held in his hands.

"Military Master, we must not allow Dong Zhuo to move his capital!" Cao Cao's eyes darkened.

Obviously, he was extremely concerned about this point. If Dong Zhuo moved the capital successfully, it would really be letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

If this move is successful, then his hard work of gathering the [-] princes and even breaking through the Hulao pass will be in vain in an instant, and all previous efforts will be wasted!
Zhao Feng nodded lightly and said: "My lord, don't panic, now we want to keep that Dong Zhuo, there is absolutely no possibility of keeping Dong Zhuo on our own."

You must know that Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is several times that of Cao Cao. It is obviously unrealistic to defeat Dong Zhuo just by relying on his own strength.

If Dong Zhuo was not a strong soldier, why would he need to gather the power of the eighteen princes?

Zhao Feng nodded: "Dong Zhuo is naturally afraid that we will enter Luoyang, so he must be preparing to evacuate to Chang'an at this moment."

"If you want to stop Dong Zhuo, the sooner you send troops, the better."

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded. He naturally knew the importance of the matter. As long as it was delayed, it would give Dong Zhuo enough time to evacuate. The longer the delay, the more difficult it would be to stop Dong Zhuo from moving the capital.

Hulao Pass is already some distance away from Luoyang, not to mention that they will inevitably bring a large army to go there, and the marching speed will be even slower.

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng and said, "Then I will call the princes to discuss tomorrow!"

Faced with Cao Cao's suggestion, Zhao Feng did not refuse. Although Zhao Feng had already thought of the final outcome of the discussion, he would never be favored by the princes.

But being able to express his position, Zhao Feng is confident that he can win the support of several people.

The next day, the princes took positions.

"Brother Meng De, why are you gathering me again?"

"That's right, now that the Hulao Pass has been broken, why is Brother Mengde in such a rush, that thief Dong won't be far away!"

"Can Dong Zhuo run away with Luoyang?"

"That's right!"

Countless people were discussing, with doubts in their eyes, what was going to happen when Cao Cao suddenly called them over.

Now that Hulao Pass has just been breached, shouldn't it be rejuvenated and celebrated? This Cao Mengde would do something disappointing!
Yuan Shao also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Now that you are all here, brother Meng De, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Looking at the princes who had already left, Cao Cao also showed a touch of disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "The princes are here today to discuss important matters, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Following Cao Cao's words, everyone quickly quieted down.

After all, the fear of the princes towards Cao Cao has not disappeared these few days, and everyone looked towards Cao Cao curiously.

Cao Cao was able to break even the Hulao pass by himself, so what is it that he has to call the eighteen princes to discuss?

Thinking of this, everyone showed curiosity.

Cao Cao stood up and saw that the crowd had quieted down before continuing, "I have received the latest news from Luoyang that Dong Bandit is planning to move his capital to Chang'an!"

"Everyone should understand what it means to move the capital to Chang'an, right? Presumably everyone knows the consequences, right?"

After hearing the words, everyone hesitated for a moment, then fell silent, with astonishment in their eyes.

The great Han Dynasty established Luoyang as its capital for 300 years, so Dong Thief actually wanted to move the capital?
Countless people fell silent and looked at each other. The originally noisy environment was instantly silent. Yuan Shao also put away the contempt in his eyes, showing a touch of shock, looked at Cao Cao and said:
"What do you think Meng De thinks? At the beginning, we will do our best to help!"

Others also joined in. After all, Cao Cao's ability is known to everyone. Being able to break the tiger prison alone is a feat that no one can do.

After all, these princes did not lack verbal support.

Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "To prevent Dong Thief from moving the capital, if Dong Thief is allowed to return to Chang'an, everyone will know the consequences."

There was a strange light in the eyes of countless people.

Han Fu raised his head and asked, "Then how does brother Mengde think to stop that traitor Dong from moving the capital?"

After these words were spoken, everyone turned their gazes to Cao Cao's side.

Looking at the eyes of everyone, Cao Cao naturally knew what they were worried about, so he shouted sharply, "Lead the army to take Luoyang!"

"Thief Dong wants to move the capital, and he will definitely bring all the civil and military officials with him, so it will take a lot of time. Please follow me to send troops to Luoyang!"

After saying that, everyone became silent again, their expressions were different, and there was light in their eyes, each of them was thinking.

Under Cao Cao's sharp gaze, countless people were thinking, but no one spoke for a while.

Immediately afterwards, one person stood up first, and Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately.

This man was Han Fu, the Mu of Jizhou, and he bowed down and said with a smile, "Jizhou is vast and sparsely populated, but since Duke Cao wants to send troops to Luoyang, Wen Jie is willing to provide Duke Cao with some military pay."

After hearing Han Fu finished speaking, everyone's eyes flickered, this old fox is really smart!

Cao Cao's eyes dimmed, revealing a hint of disappointment.

These old foxes are really stingy.

"I think Mr. Cao's move is feasible. I will give Mr. Cao a hundred good horses!" Ma Teng, the prefect of Xiliang, spoke.

They are all old foxes. The attitude of these people is very clear. You are going to intercept Dong Zhuo. We support you. If you want soldiers, it is impossible!
Yuan Shao also smiled and said: "The lord of this alliance has never heard of this news, maybe this news needs to be deliberated to determine whether it is true or not."

"It's too reckless to send troops so eagerly. Why don't we first confirm the authenticity of the news and then discuss it."

Hearing what Yuan Shao said, countless people breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that it is better to avoid this aspect than the leader, and others have also echoed.

"I think so too, not because I disagree with Brother Meng De."

"This is too hasty. I haven't received the news yet. What if the news is fake?"

After hearing everyone's speech, Cao Cao almost exploded in anger. These people have said so, so there is still a need to talk.

"Forget it, everyone, it's Meng De who interrupted you!"

The others are still polite.

"Brother Mengde's mood, I can understand."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Meng De has such a heart, and I admire it."

The alliance of princes obviously had different ideas, and finally broke up unhappy.

Zhao Feng had thought about this situation a long time ago. If these guys really wanted to contribute, the Hulao Pass would have been broken long ago.

After returning to Cao Jun's garrison, Cao Cao was a little unhappy, and such a good opportunity was defeated by this group of people.

Especially that Yuan Shao, who is indecisive and will only avoid things when faced with them.

Zhao Feng breathed out and said: "My lord, don't panic, if you contact those princes, you should still have a try."

After hearing this, Cao Cao calmed down a little.

"Which ones?"

"When I summoned the princes to discuss, why didn't they stand up?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng smiled lightly, his eyes flickering.

"Because they each have their own plans and don't want to reveal their intentions."
