Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 26 Cao Cao wins Dian Wei

In the main hall, people were drinking glasses of wine, and most of the princes were already drunk as they exchanged cups.

Yuan Shao was obviously in a good mood. He stood on the table and showed off his sword skills wantonly. The following flatterers did not hesitate to praise him and directly placed Yuan Shao among the great swordsmen of the late Han Dynasty, Wang Yue and Deng Zhan.

Cao Ren pulled Cao Cao, who was eager to try, and whispered: "Brother, Zi Qian is here."

Cao Cao raised the sword on his waist and raised his voice a little higher: "Zi Qian? You're here just in time, let him evaluate my Cao Mengde's swordsmanship."

Cao Ren grabbed Cao Cao's belt and said, "Brother! Zi Qian brings warriors to throw, be careful about your image."

When he heard the word warrior, Boss Cao lost nine of his drunkenness. He preferred warriors, and a warrior who could be valued by Zhang Wu was definitely worthy of his caution.

At this moment, Zhang Wu had led Dian Wei to Cao Cao. Cao Cao quickly sat upright and assumed the posture of a wise master.

"My lord, this man is my brother with a different surname, called Dian Wei. When we first met him that day, he was chasing a tiger across a stream in the mountains and forests."

Chasing a tiger across a stream? Is this something done by humans? In the ordinary world, the king of beasts cannot hide as far as he wants, and only the vicious people in this world dare to play with the big insect as a house cat, as he pleases.

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat, and then he became happy.

After careful inspection, I found that this Dianwei had big arms, a round waist, and a burly appearance. The two iron arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs.

The more Cao Cao looked at it, the more he liked it, and he asked calmly: "A brave warrior, would you like to serve me?"

"Since my brother said that you are the master, I am willing to surrender, but there are some things that I need to make clear beforehand. In the early years, I got into a murder case to avenge a friend and was wanted by the government."

"Hahahaha." Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed: "I never thought that a strong man would be a true righteous man. I like him very much."

He just killed a few squires and villains. Now the world is in chaos and countless people are dying every day. Cao Cao really doesn't believe that anyone who pursues human traffickers will pursue his beloved general.

These days, the man in charge of the army is the boss.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhang Wu raised his leg and kicked Dian Wei's calf.

Dian Wei took advantage of the situation and knelt down on one knee: "I am willing to do my best for the Lord."

"Hahahaha, good, good, good. I see the strong man resurrecting like the ancient evil, and I am very happy. I should drink three hundred cups."

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, just followed him jealously. From the beginning to the end, he did not know that Dian Wei was supposed to be his favorite general.

But from Zhang Wu's point of view, it's not a big deal. Zhang Miao is obviously not the master of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the powerful general follows him, he will be buried. Now that Dian Wei has followed Cao Cao in advance, it is BMW meeting Bole. As long as the time comes, he will be granted the title of lord and general. Not a problem.

The banquet didn't end until late at night.

When Cao Cao woke up the next day, he found that the tent was very clean. Cao Ren should have been standing by his bed at this time.

After leaving the camp, I found Dian Wei standing like an iron tower with his eyes wide open and holding a halberd.

In front of the camp, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals were decorated.

"Zixiao, what happened? Why don't you go directly to the camp?"

Cao Ren clasped his fists aggrievedly: "Brother, it's not that we don't want to enter the camp, it's just that this reckless man won't allow it. He said, 'My lord, sleep in peace, and no one is allowed to enter the camp.'"

Zhang Wu followed and snickered, saying that Dian Wei was a complete idiot. Yesterday when Boss Cao was drunk, he ordered him to guard the surroundings, so even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't be able to get in.

But Cao Ren and Cao Hong want to force their way in, what's the difference between delivering food. "Ziqian, it's fine if you don't help. You're still laughing there. Have you forgotten who recommended you in front of the lord that day?" Cao Hong was angry and nudged Zhang Wu with his elbow.

"Bah, don't flatter yourself. That's because I knocked you off your horse in three or two rounds. What does it have to do with your recommendation?" Zhang Wu smiled teasingly: "But having said that, General Zilian is You can fight more fiercely with others, and anyone who can beat you can be included in our army. In this way, you can be considered as contributing to recruiting talents."

Cao Cao was very happy, it was really beautiful, and he immediately rewarded Dian Wei with ten gold coins.

After some reorganization, the army set off, leaving only Wang Kuang to guard Hulao Pass, while the other seventeen princes marched together towards Luoyang.

Luoyang City was in complete chaos at this moment.

On the streets, you can see Xiliang soldiers robbing people's property everywhere, and even worse, doing such beastly things in broad daylight.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was comparable to an imperial palace, Dong Zhuo was leaning on the huge Taishi chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

From time to time, scouts came to report, and Li Ru directly gave orders on Dong Zhuo's behalf as a military advisor.

At noon, after sending off the last wave of scouts, Li Ru came to Dong Zhuo and cupped his hands: "Father-in-law, the coalition of princes set out the day before yesterday. It's time for us to evacuate."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand listlessly: "You make the arrangements."

"Marquis Duting, I hope my father-in-law will come forward to appease him."

"He, Lu Bu, lost the battle. What's there to appease? It's already a great gift to him that I didn't punish him."

Li Ru frowned. He was thinking further than Dong Zhuo.

Lu Bu's defeat was just the general trend. At that time, it was impossible for the tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops to defend Hulao Pass under the coalition forces of the princes. Lu Bu could have simply abandoned Hulao Pass to preserve his military strength.

But after the First World War, there was not much Bingzhou Army left, and it was almost in name only. At this time, Lu Bu probably had not thought about rebellion.

When he returned from the defeat, Lu Bu addressed Dong Zhuo as "grand master" instead of the more affectionate "father-in-law".

It can be seen from this that the loyalty that the tiger retained in Dong Zhuo was about to be wiped out.

At this time, we should try our best to win over him, but Dong Zhuo seems to have lost his soul and doesn't care about anything. It is really too dangerous to continue like this.

"Father-in-law, Lu Bu is a fierce tiger. Don't give up on him lightly. Although he was defeated, he is still loyal. The more times like this, the more important it is to appease his emotions. Once Lu Bu changes, we will be in trouble."

"Okay, go ahead and make arrangements. All the money and treasures you need will come out of the treasury."

Doesn't Dong Zhuo know the importance of Lu Bu?

Of course he knew that even if Lu Bu lost to Zhang Wu, Lu Bu would still be Lu Bu, the dove tiger who looked down on the world.

As the saying goes, if you are not in position, you will not plan your affairs. Li Ru was just a military advisor. He thought more about preserving the strength of the Xiliang army and planning the gains and losses of one city and one place, waiting for a comeback.

But Dong Zhuo was different. He was already the largest prince in the world. With such a high position, the world was at his fingertips. He could see some things more clearly than Li Ru.

If Luoyang is lost, even if there are still 400,000 armored men in Xiliang, so what.

When the time comes for all the princes in the world to attack him, there will be no possibility for him to stand up again.

Trying your best to win over Lu Bu is just one more scapegoat.
