The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 448 Persuading Cao Cao
Princes from all walks of life, training troops one after another.

Yecheng, the prefecture of Weijun.

Autumn has passed, and it is early winter.

A young man rode his horse to Yecheng with several followers.

At this moment, Wei County is undoubtedly in a state of combat readiness, and all the city gates are strictly guarded against death, which is quite strict.

Although Cao Cao's worries are unavoidably excessive, they are indeed necessary.

Today's Cao Cao can be said to be an important criminal wanted by the court, but fortunately it was only the wanted order of Prime Minister Dong Zhuo, otherwise, if it was issued by the young emperor himself, he would have lost his foundation in name.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was indeed unpopular. Cao Cao's righteous deed of assassinating Dong Zhuo gave Cao Cao a lot of prestige.In addition, his management in Wei County has been very effective over the years.

The superposition of the prestige of the two made Cao Cao's rule quite stable, and Cao Cao was able to concentrate on military development here.Otherwise, the rule would be unstable, and it would be impossible for Cao Cao to have the leisure to spend a lot of money to train the army.

The young man's clothes are a little messy, and he can see the travel and dust of the long-distance travel.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate stopped him and asked, "Where did you come from?"

This group of people, who were slightly slender in stature, did not look like people from the north, but like people from the south. They suddenly came to Yecheng at this moment, so they were naturally a little suspicious, which attracted the attention of the soldiers.

Seeing this, the young man looked a little tired, but still kept calm, nodded and said: "I am Gu Yong, the envoy of Hussar General Champion Hou Chen Ran, and I came to Ye City to ask to see Governor Cao. This is my token."

The young man was Gu Yong who was sent by Chen Ran to contact everyone. Gu Yong took out a token and handed it to the soldier.Several soldiers looked at the token and looked at each other.

They naturally knew about Chen Ran, but they didn't know whether what Gu Yong said was true or not.

Several people couldn't decide, so they cupped their hands to Gu Yong and said: "The envoy wait a moment, this matter is very important, we need to report it to the prefect."

Gu Yong replied indifferently: "No problem."

A soldier hurried towards the prefect's mansion in the city.

At this moment, Cao Cao was thinking about the future by himself in the prefect's mansion, when he suddenly heard someone report.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and a soldier came in and said, "Master Prefect, there is a man outside, who claims to be the envoy of the Champion Marquis, and he has something important to come."

Cao Cao was stunned, and his face turned into joy. He naturally knew that the champion, besides Chen Ran, who else in the world would dare to be so titled?
Moreover, at this moment, Cao Cao also had a guess in his mind, maybe this is what he has been waiting for, Chen Ran has been calm for a long time, is he finally about to make a move?

Cao Cao still remembers that a few years ago, he fought with Chen Ran on the battlefield, and the yellow scarf bandits were killed. As long as Chen Ran was there, the enemy would be defeated.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao has an inexplicable confidence in Chen Ran.He longed for Chen Ran to defeat Dong Zhuo, because at this moment, his heart was still for the big man.

At the same time, Cao Cao is very aware of the gap between himself and Dong Zhuo.

For several months, he had been flattering and flattering Dong Zhuo in order to gain Dong Zhuo's trust. During this period of time, he was naturally able to admire the might of the Xiliang iron cavalry.

The tens of thousands of elite Xiliang iron cavalry and the galloping momentum of thousands of horses are shocking, and one can't help but feel fear in their hearts.

Even if he trains the army during this period, the gap cannot be eliminated in such a short period of time.

Cao Cao knows his own strength, so he puts hope on Chen Ran.This fierce tiger, which has been dormant for many years, is finally going to roar and attack at this moment, what kind of fire will it release.

Cao Cao only had a short period of time, and he had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Please come up with the envoy."

The soldier bowed his hands and stepped back.

Not long after, Gu Yong was brought into the prefect's mansion.

Seeing the dark, short and strong man, although he had never seen Cao Cao before, he recognized Cao Cao immediately from Cao Cao's fierce temperament, and he cupped his hands and said, "Gu Yong pays his respects to Governor Cao."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Are you sent by brother Chen Ranxian?"

Gu Yong said unhurriedly: "Exactly."

"Brother Chen Ranxian asked you to come out to lobby at such a special time. I have some guesses in my mind about why." Cao Cao's eyes flashed, his eyes were always bright, and at this moment it was different, extraordinarily bright.

Gu Yong was not in a hurry. Before he came out, Chen Ran had told him that this Cao Mengde was a smart man, and he didn't need to waste much time talking. The most important thing was that this Cao Cao was still loyal to the big man and was absolutely credible.

Earlier news came that Cao Cao had defected to Dong Zhuo, which even made Gu Yong a little bit slanderous, but later it was reported that Cao Cao just endured the humiliation, and in order to assassinate Dong Zhuo, all the limelight was changed.

It was also at this moment that Gu Yong realized that what Chen Ran said was indeed true.A passionate young man like Cao Cao is indeed extremely loyal and patriotic.

If he became a Cao thief later, it was after he begged Dong that Cao Cao completely lost his confidence in the big man.There are treacherous ministers everywhere, and no one sincerely serves the big man. Such a country exists in name only.

Coupled with the counselors under his command who came to coerce the emperor to order the princes, Cao Zhongchen naturally developed in the direction of Cao traitor.

Therefore, Chen Ran can be sure that the current Cao Cao is extremely trustworthy.But what will happen in the future, it needs to be commented in the future.

Gu Yong speculated about Cao Cao's thoughts in his heart, smiled slightly, and said, "Since Governor Cao already has an idea in his mind, I won't say any more, but now, what is Governor Cao's plan? What are your plans?"

Cao Cao rubbed his nose, glanced at Gu Yong, nodded and said: "If I make a decision, what will my lord want as a prophet?"

Gu Yong smiled and said: "What Cao Taishou said is very true. This disaster of the great man is a catastrophe for the world. My lord is a servant of the great man. He should do his best for the affairs of the great man. Therefore, my lord has made up his mind on this matter."

Cao Cao froze, his expression became serious, and he said: "Seeing that Chen Ranxian is really ready, is he really preparing for the alliance to ask for the director this time?"

Gu Yong nodded and said: "Exactly, the Dong thief is powerful, and the power of the family is really stretched. We should unite the strength of the heroes to attack Dong Zhuo."

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's not bad as I expected, but there is still one question, how many princes will be connected with this time, and how many people will agree?"

Gu Yong smiled complacently: "In the beginning, no one dared to express their opinion, but after I persuaded them, more than ten families have agreed. If Governor Cao agrees, I still need to meet Liu Xuande, Yuan Benchu, etc. Forge an alliance."

Cao Cao already understood that this is a real big battle, he replied solemnly: "In this case, you can tell Brother Chen Ranxian that I, Cao Mengde, will do my best to deal with this matter."
