For Cao Cao, he can understand what he said.

Cao Ang felt very relieved.

I looked up at the expression on my father's face, and saw that there was more thought and consideration on his face, mixed with a little confusion, but there was no resistance.

Cao Ang understood a little bit.

very soon.

He just needs to work harder to completely smash the unrealistic fantasy in Cao Cao's mind, and let him recognize the reality of the world.

Then their father and son.

can be merged into the same track in thought.

When Cao Ang does something in the future, he doesn't need to worry about Cao Cao's reaction, let alone hide some things from him.

Therefore, Cao Ang didn't give Cao Cao a chance to slow down, and directly added fuel to the fire.

Immediately pointed around with his hand, and then said in a slightly mocking tone: "After this journey, what kind of virtues are the people in the coalition army, I think my father already knows it well."

"From the first battle at Chenggao Pass, facing Hua Xiong's mighty military power, everyone delayed and evaded each other, kept silent, and then continued to several battles after that."

"From Yuan Shu's mere loss of face, he wanted to kill Sun Jian, and he didn't have the overall view of an alliance to fight against foreign enemies. When you, father, led your troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, everyone was thinking about it. he."

"All of this is vivid in our minds. Everyone shouted that they were all high-sounding for the court and the Han Dynasty, but in fact they were all thinking about a business."

Having said that, Cao Ang paused for a while.

Then I made a conclusion for the heroes of the Kanto.

"Among the allied forces attacking Dong Zhuo, except for a very small number of people like you, father, who are really passionate and want to kill the national traitors."

"The rest of the people are just trying to take this opportunity to become famous and get a wave of promotion for themselves."

"That's why the boy said that he can't rely on others!"

……

The thoughtful look on Cao Cao's face became heavier.

His brows were tightly furrowed, full of melancholy.

There was even a faint hint of pain.

Cao Ang directly uncovered this scar. Even if Cao Cao wanted to deceive himself with words, it would no longer be possible.

"Ugh!"

After a long while.

Cao Cao let out a long sigh.

Then he opened his eyes exhausted, and instead of arguing with Cao Ang, they discussed the possibility of killing thieves by the Cao family alone.

"Ang'er, as a father, why don't you know that although the so-called coalition has a large number of people, it also means that it will be chaotic. If a matter requires more than a dozen people to decide, how can such an alliance last long?"

"Just don't rely on the power of the alliance, how can you compete with Dong Thief?"

"Although I am eager to destroy the thief, I also know that Dong thief is powerful. Although the coalition forces have won successive battles before, Dong thief has not been hurt, and there are still nearly [-] troops."

"Furthermore, after evacuating Luoyang and retreating to Chang'an City, far away from the land of Kanto, it will take a long time and consume a huge amount of food and grass to stay away from the land of Kanto."

speak here.

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly.

The right hand couldn't help but patted on the thigh, with a look full of grief and indignation, but helpless.

"Why don't I want to abandon the alliance, raise the great banner of the Cao family, and lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses with my own strength, and set off in a few days, and send troops to Chang'an. The whole army obeys my orders, and no one dares to retreat in fear of battle. "

"But that's all I can think of!"

"Compared to what Ang'er you said about relying on our own strength, I think it's safer to rely on the Zaixing Alliance. That's why when your original uncles greeted me earlier, I would speak kindly to them."

……

In order to restore the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao also endured the humiliation.

But this is not what Cao Ang wants, what he wants is that Cao Cao can be bold and wild!
So Cao Cao's voice just fell.

Cao Ang shook his head decisively.

"Father's words are absurd!"

"I just ask my father one question. If Dong Zhuo is successfully eliminated after the alliance is formed again, another ambitious person will pop up in the world at that time, and this person happens to be in the alliance, and he is the most powerful in the alliance. A powerful force."

"At that time, who should father find to unite and attack this new careerist?"

Cao Cao was at a loss for words.

There is only silence.

But he quickly reacted.

Yes!

Blindly thinking about uniting to destroy these ambitious enemies is tantamount to entrusting fate to others.

Dare to think.

If Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu wanted to usurp Han after Dong Zhuo was killed, how would Cao Cao stop him?

The two brothers are gone.

The coalition forces directly abolished half of them.

Let alone be enemies with them.

Although this is a hypothesis, who can guarantee that the hypothesis will not come true?

……

Looking at Cao Cao's eyes became firm.

The hands hidden under the table were clenched tightly into fists, and there was even a crisp sound.

Cao Ang simply got up, walked around the tent, gestured with both hands, and said impassionedly.

"There are endlessly ambitious people in this world. Putting your hopes on others will only breed a stronger ambitious person."

"So in my child's view, only when we become strong and become the most powerful force in the world can we cut off the path of the ambitious."

"We have invincible soldiers, inexhaustible money and food, and even the largest territory in the world. Only with such power can these people put away their ambitions and behave themselves under the court's laws."

"Compared to the era of Tianxing hunting, whoever dares to disobey the order of the imperial court, we will send troops to attack him, and whoever wants to be the next Dong Zhuo, we will destroy him!"

"This is the fundamental method!"

A word out.

Cao Cao's blood boiled immediately.

What Cao Ang said made him feel like he was on fire.

So excited!

If you really want to be like what your son described, you will beat anyone who refuses to accept it, and if anyone dares to be Dong Zhuo, you will kill your whole family. Thinking about it makes people feel refreshed!

This is much better than being attached to the alliance!
Staying in the coalition army, in order to attack a city, they have to hold big meetings and gather various people to discuss and discuss for a long time.

In the end, everyone's consent has to be obtained.

If there are too many people who oppose it, the previous efforts will be considered in vain. How can we get things done like this?
Cao Cao's mind instantly cleared up.

Just when he was about to make a decision.

Suddenly thinking of the wording in Cao Ang's words, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

After deliberating for a moment.

He couldn't help asking: "Ang'er, to grow our strength, we must have troops, food, land, and even give orders on behalf of the court. If we do this, won't we become another Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Ang: "..."

……

This old Cao.

I haven't seen him react so fast on weekdays.

This time, he became quicker thinking again.

Fortunately, Cao Ang had a plan in advance.

"Snapped!"

The hand clapped heavily on the table.

"Father, how can you compare yourself to Dong Zhuo? You have a heart of loyalty, and your son is even more loyal in the Han family. We are loyal ministers!"

"Dong Zhuo is a rebellious person who usurps power, despises the royal family, deceives the emperor, and willfully mutilates Zhongliang. He is a complete rebel."

"As long as you don't change your morals, father, you are also issuing orders on behalf of the court. Dong Zhuo is controlling the government, and we are patrolling hunting on behalf of the sky. Can this be compared?"

"Unless you admit that you are not a loyal minister!"

Cao Cao shook his head hastily.

The biggest label he put on himself was a loyal minister. If anyone dared to say that he was not loyal, Cao Cao would dare to fight that person with a knife.

So Cao Ang's explanation.

Cao Cao thought so.

He felt that his son was right.

Isn't that the reason?

As long as he upholds his loyalty, he guarantees that he will always be loyal to the Han Dynasty and the court forever.

Then what he did was for the long-term stability of the country and the immortality of the Han court, so why should there be any scruples about this?
Cao Cao thought he could do it.

……

After thinking about this point clearly.

Cao Cao cheered up immediately.

Cao Cao, who was originally depressed because of his failure in chasing Dong Zhuo and seeing the disappointing performance of everyone in the alliance, suddenly lifted his spirits, and his whole body glowed a lot.

"Ang'er, what you said is right, the so-called coalition forces are about to disband soon."

"The top priority should be to return to our own territory, continue to recruit troops, train new troops, and strengthen our own strength."

"One day, when we will be able to wipe out Dong Bandit with our own power, then we will re-empower the army of the kingly way, and break through Chang'an in one go!"

Father's sudden awakening.

A smile appeared on Cao Ang's face.

Fortunately, after repeated blows, Cao Cao's psychological defense line has been loosened, and it can even be said that he is already on the verge of half-collapse.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to convince him.

But no matter what the process is.

The result is good.

Right now, his father, Cao Cao, has established a heart to fight for hegemony. Although Cao Cao himself doesn't think so, it is actually no different from fighting for hegemony.

He is now upholding a loyal heart.

But what will it look like in the future?
On this point, even Cao Ang can't make a conclusion, but there is a high probability that it will change.

…………

After today's discussion.

In the next few days, Cao Cao's mental outlook was quite good.

He has already discussed with Cao Ang, and determined the basic strategy of continuing to develop in Yanzhou, relying on the existing site, and even the site that may be expanded in the future, to carry out a rapid expansion.

Just wait for one more thing now.

That was the first person who announced his withdrawal from the alliance, returned to his own station, and no longer participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo among the various soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City.

At that time, Cao's father and son were able to follow.

The two of them don't want to be the first birds.

After all, they are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. If everyone does not leave, how can they leave first?
And the process is not long.

Because the soldiers and horses from all walks of life have been stationed in Luoyang City for a long time, and since the day the troops were dispatched, the consumption along the way can be said to be a very long time span.

Some people couldn't help it a few days ago.

If he hadn't waited for Cao Cao's arrival, he might have led his troops to flee, and now Cao Cao has returned.

What are you waiting for?

In the morning three days later.

Yuan Shao called together people from all walks of life to discuss matters in the camp of the Central Army, and everyone was present.

And after a while of pleasantries.

Yanzhou governor Liu Dai, Yuzhou governor Kong Ni, Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao, and Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi.

These should be discussed.

They stood up one after another, and told Yuan Shao and everyone present that they would take their leave.

……

At this moment Liu Dai was standing in the field.

After bowing hands to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, he said with shame on his face.

"I was supposed to advance and retreat with you here. After resting for a whole day, I led my troops to continue westward to attack Dong Zhuo. However, the troops were exhausted and the troops were damaged. There was not much strength left for the soldiers under my command."

"In addition, when I first served as governor of Yanzhou, I was in a hurry when I joined the coalition forces. Many affairs have not been arranged in time. If I keep hanging around and do not return, I am afraid that the affairs of the government will fall into chaos."

"Thus, although it is quite regrettable, I can only resign to the leader and everyone!"

As soon as Liu Dai said this.

Qiao Mao and the others agreed one after another.

The excuses they made were the same, anyway, they had suffered heavy losses, and they didn't have many soldiers to use. In addition to the county, the state couldn't do without him.

I can only say goodbye with "ashamed regret".

for a while.

Everyone looked at each other.

After all, someone made this early bird.

But after listening to the words of several people, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to stay here any longer.

Thank you Liu Dai, these old buddies, for liberating everyone on the spot.

And Yuan Shao sat in the upper position, and after quietly listening to the resignations of several people, he also showed regret.

He said rather "reluctantly": "Dong Zhuo fled to the west, but this battle failed to accomplish all of his achievements. The huge alliance should have continued, and I should also speak out to persuade him to stay."

"It's a pity that I know that people from all walks of life are tired and exhausted, and your words are the truth. It's not because you don't want to try your best, but because you are unable to do it."

"Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to say anything more. I can only wish you all to take care of yourself along the way."

"After recuperating and cleaning up the soldiers and horses, we will form an alliance in the future to complete the unfinished business today!"

……

The leader is so understanding.

Directly teach everyone to be happy.

Little did they know that the leader himself could hardly hold back, he was the most powerful party in this coalition.

If he can be freed from this mess as soon as possible, then the speed at which he will accumulate strength will far exceed that of others.

Therefore, Yuan Shao is actually more anxious than anyone else.

It's just that his face and reputation can't be lost.

So he waited until someone stood up today before he pushed the boat along.

After agreeing to continue the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the future.

Everyone drank a bowl of wine.

Then that afternoon.

Liu Dai and others gathered their troops and horses, announced their withdrawal from the alliance, and left Luoyang City.

And in the next few days.

Various forces also retreated one after another.

Wait until people are almost gone.

It was finally Cao Cao's turn.

After saying goodbye to Yuan Shao and others, and making an agreement with Sun Jian, Liu Bei and others.

Cao Cao, two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, plus Bao Xin, Liu Chong, and the five-way army that Chen Liumeng swore to retreat together.

The mighty crusade against the Dong Zhuo Alliance.

And so it came to an end.
