Before you know it, the autumn harvest season has arrived.
When princes go to war, they usually choose spring planting or autumn harvest.
This time, the mighty Kwantung Allied Forces Conference was naturally chosen after the autumn harvest.
The location of the alliance was chosen as Yanzhou Jujube.
It’s not that the princes from all walks of life are trying to give Cao Cao face.
It is because the distance between Suanzao and various princes is the most moderate, and it is located east of Luoyang in Sizhou, making it convenient for marching.
As the host, several princes from Yanzhou were the first to arrive at Suanzao.
As the founder and the first among them, Cao Cao naturally took on the responsibility of welcoming guests.
“Hahahaha, Meng De, long time no see, you did something spectacular without telling me!”
Bao Xin, who had a solemn face, was the first to come over and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder carelessly.
The two had known each other for a long time, and they had fought together during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and their friendship was quite good.
“Yuncheng Miaozan, I was just forced to have no choice.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Cao Cao’s eyebrows.
If his own strength is enough to fight against Lu Bu, why would he need to launch an alliance through an alliance of princes?
Bao Xin comforted:”Don’t worry about Meng De, the two members of the Yuan family All brothers will join the alliance this time”
“In addition, Liu Cishi, Tao Cishi, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan and others”
“Our total military strength will be far superior to Lu Bu’s!”
Cao Cao smiled.
What he said was true.
But one person has one intention. With so many people put together, we don’t know how many intentions and purposes there are!
After welcoming Bao Xin in, Cao met Yuan Yi and Qiao respectively. Mao.
One of these two people is the prefect of Shanyang and the other is the prefect of Dongjun. They are not far away.
The next one to arrive is Liu Dai.
As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he is also the governor of Yanzhou.
Although Liu Dai has no outstanding abilities, After all, he was Cao Cao’s boss in name, and Cao Cao welcomed him warmly.
It was not until late in the evening that Zhang Miao, the last prince of Yanzhou, arrived belatedly.
Beside Zhang Miao, there was also a scribe in gray standing.
2 The man’s face looked unkind, as if he had just had a quarrel.
Cao Cao waved from afar:
“Meng Zhuo, you are so close, why did you come now?”
Meng Zhuo is the name of Zhang Miao.
As a famous scholar in Yanzhou and one of the”Eight Chefs”, Zhang Miao is a famous literati.
However, Zhang Miao is easy to get along with, and his friendship with Cao Cao is also good.
Zhang Miao A smile appeared on his face and he responded awkwardly:
“There are still some chores in the county that have not been completed, so there will be some delays.”
Cao Cao nodded to express his understanding and did not dwell on this topic.
In fact, with his ability to observe people’s emotions, he could not see that the reason for Zhang Miao’s late arrival was probably not due to the so-called county chores!
The problem lies in Where?
Cao Cao glanced at the gray-robed scribe standing next to Zhang Miao, secretly feeling sharp.
Although this man was silent, he brought an indescribable fear to Cao Cao’s heart.
“Meng Zhuo, I wonder who the gentleman next to you is?……?”
Although he felt an indescribable discomfort, out of politeness, Cao Cao still took the initiative to ask.
Zhang Miao paused and introduced:
“This is Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai, my new job.”
Cao Cao suddenly realized!
Who Chen Gong is, he may not be famous.
But standing behind Chen Gong is the Yanzhou Chen family!
The Yanzhou Chen family, although it is not the top in the world, but within Yanzhou, it is one of the best The big family.
Zhang Miao was able to get help from Chen Gong, presumably because the Yanzhou Chen family wanted to bet on him.
To be honest, Cao Cao was very envious.
So far, apart from the Cao family and the Xiahou family brothers, Li Dian is the only one beside him. His family can be called a big family in Yanzhou.
But in the final analysis, no family has chosen to bet on him for the time being.
Yes, Chen Gong is not at all the bullshit”Zhongmu County Order” that Lao Luo in the novel said, let alone what Cao Cao’s White Moonlight!
Zhongmu, in the late Han Dynasty, was not even a county. It was not until the Song Dynasty that counties were divided here. How could there be a Zhongmu county magistrate in the late Han Dynasty?
Furthermore, the case of Cao Cao’s assassination did not exist. It is”Xun You assassinated Dong”.
Cao Cao could not and would not escape from Luoyang to Zhongmou because of the failure of assassinating Dong.
Therefore, the meeting in the alliance of princes was actually the first meeting between Cao Cao and Chen Gong, but it would not be the last one side
“I, Cao Mengde, have met Mr. Gongtai.”
Cao Cao took the initiative to greet Chen Gong.
Chen Gong smiled back and said lightly:
“General Cao was a man of great talent and strategy, and was good at judging the situation. Chen Gong admired him very much.”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao’s face froze.
It’s okay to praise him for his talent and strategy, but the following sentence of assessing the situation does not sound like a compliment, but rather a sarcasm!
It seems that Chen Gong is right to He had quite an opinion.
Zhang Miao responded with an apologetic smile.
In fact, what Cao Cao didn’t know was that Chen Gong was not targeting him, but Zhang Miao!
Regarding Zhang Miao’s coming to join the alliance, Chen Gong’s opinion was :
Don’t just join in the fun!
In other words, Chen Gong does not agree with Zhang Miao coming to join the alliance.
Why does Chen Gong think so?
Because Chen Gong considers it from the perspective of the development of Zhang Miao’s power.
The significance of the alliance of princes What is it about? Is it about defeating Lu Bu and rescuing the emperor?
That is just bullshit to fool angry youths and children!
For Yuan and Yuan, the significance of this alliance of princes is to determine who is the most orthodox heir of the Yuan family.
For the Yuan family For the former officials and disciples, this is a battle to take sides.
For Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Sun Jian and others, this is an excellent opportunity to enhance their reputation and expand their influence!
Then Zhang Miao participated in this alliance, What can I get?
Nothing! It’s a waste of time!
First of all, Zhang Miao, who is such a jerk, will definitely not become the leader of the coalition of princes.
Furthermore, Zhang Miao has a total of 10,000 troops, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong. Will become the main force of the coalition.
When the coalition achieved victory, Zhang Miao followed behind to drink soup.
This is like participating in a group activity. As long as you participate, you will get a consolation prize. So what is the value of this small prize?
If the coalition is defeated, Zhang Miao will With Miao’s little bit of strength, I’m afraid the tens of thousands of troops he finally managed to amass will be directly���collapsed!
Other than that.
On the way to join the coalition, you have to worry about the intrigues between the various princes, and you may not be fooled one day.
Think carefully about combining so many factors.
At least for Zhang Miao’s forces, participating in the alliance is a total loss-making deal!
There is no reward if you win, but you have to bear the risks and consequences if you lose.
What’s the point of such an alliance?
But Zhang Miao doesn’t think so.
He thinks that if everyone comes, wouldn’t it be bad if he doesn’t come?
To put it nicely, Zhang Miao is a fastidious person with a sense of collective honor.
To put it bluntly, this is just trying to make a fool of yourself, knowing that you are not the right one, but you insist on stepping forward to make up for it!
Therefore, Chen Gong felt the hatred in his heart!
The key point is that Zhang Miao is still very stubborn. Even after Chen Gongxiao showed his love, he still refused to listen. (If you want to read cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
I can’t help it! I can’t help it at all!
From Chen Gong’s point of view, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come to the Laoshizi princes meeting, he can clearly use his time and energy to enhance his own strength.
After all, you need to be strong to make iron.
Without strength, everything is empty talk.
After the fist is hardened, the due respect will naturally appear.
Zhang Miao doesn’t think so.
He also cited the example of Cao Cao, saying that Cao Cao’s current overall strength is similar to his.
Cao Cao is here, why can’t Zhang Miao come?
If Chen Gong hadn’t been so well-educated, he might have had to slap Zhang Miao to death!
Please!
Can Cao Cao be like you?
In any case, Cao Cao was the initiator of the alliance between princes.
No matter which one of the two Yuans becomes the leader.
Cao Cao’s prestige among scholars will increase to a certain extent, which will facilitate subsequent recruitment of talents.
Furthermore, the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family under Cao Cao are naturally good at fighting.
Although the number of troops is small, after joining the coalition, you can gain a lot of combat experience through fighting.
To put it bluntly, after the coalition of princes is disbanded, the generals under Cao Cao will definitely undergo a transformation!
By then.
Not to mention the same number of troops, even if Cao Cao’s troops are much smaller than Zhang Miao’s, Zhang Miao’s group of crooks are definitely no match for Cao Cao!
Therefore, Chen Gong understands very well[]
He didn’t understand what Zhang Miao was struggling with?
How can you compare it with Cao Cao?
……
Cao Cao didn’t know the real reason for the quarrel between Chen Gong and Zhang Miao. He just thought that Chen Gong had a problem with him. but.
As the initiator of this alliance of princes and the welcoming ambassador, Cao Cao welcomed Chen Gong and Zhang Miao in with a smile.
A few days later.
Princes from other states arrived one after another.
Yuan Shao was very considerate to Cao Cao and praised Cao Cao to the sky as soon as he came.
The underlying meaning of the words was naturally that he hoped that Cao Cao would recommend him as the leader of the alliance.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have known each other for many years, how could they not hear the subtext?
The position of leader of the alliance can only be one of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Whether it is based on personal emotions or interests.
Cao Cao naturally hopes that Yuan Shao will serve as the leader of the alliance rather than Yuan Shu.
Then, Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian were a long way away���The princes also arrived one after another.
Only Yuan Shu arrived late and became the last person to arrive.
But Runan, Yuzhou, where he is located, is obviously quite close to Jujube.
This is obvious, I want to give everyone a show of strength.
……
Outside the coalition camp
, Yuan Shu was protected by Ji Ling and Yu She. His head was covered with a Qingluo umbrella, and he was wearing gorgeous clothes, with two orange ribbons hanging on his trousers.
Even the porcelain bowl holding the honey water is actually rimmed with gold!
Dressed up, she can be described as extremely coquettish.
People who don’t know may think he is going to a catwalk!
“`Tsk……”
“The attire for the road is really good.”
Yuan Shao secretly sarcastically said.
Although Yuan Shao’s dress is also very gorgeous, it shows a sense of majesty.
Unlike Yuan Shu, he looks extremely different.
“Some people who are common people naturally don’t know how to appreciate it. Yuan
Shu retorted.
The smell of gunpowder was almost igniting at the first touch.
Cao Cao smoothed things over and said:
“The highway arrived late. It must have been hard work along the way.”
“Why don’t we talk about it first at the camp? Yuan
Shu smiled and said:”I have worked hard, but I don’t know the location of this alliance. How could you, Cao Mengde, decide on this jujube!””
“It took me a lot of effort to find it.”
Cao Cao’s face froze.
Yuan Shu came with bad intentions. This sentence was not only provoking Cao Cao, but also provoking Yuan Shao.
Setting the location of the alliance in Suanzao was not just Cao Cao’s idea, Yuan Shao also had the same idea.
Yuan Shu He didn’t say anything at first, but now he expressed his dissatisfaction in a belated way. For a moment, the faces of various princes had different expressions.
Some were watching the show, some found it ironic, and some thought it didn’t matter.
“Haha, (De Nuo Hao) Highway said this, but Cao didn’t think carefully.”
“In this case, how about changing the location of the alliance to Runan, a city on the road?”
“It just so happens that everyone can see how prosperous Runan is under the management of highways.”
“Cao Mengde you!!!”
Yuan Shu clenched his fists angrily.
How is Yuan Shu’s ability to manage the territory?
It’s like rubbish!
According to historical records, under Yuan Shu’s governance, Huainan suffered from ten houses and nine empty houses.
You know, Huainan was originally a famously fertile land.
This is equivalent to What? It is equivalent to turning a prosperous metropolis that was originally among the best into a dead city with almost no people! It is really rare to do this to such an extent.
Throughout the entire late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, only Yuan Shu One person has this record.
It is enough to show how rubbish his ability to govern the territory is!
Not long ago, under the governance of Yuan Shu, a rebellion broke out in Runan.
Although among the counties in the Central Plains, Runan is still pretty good. Prosperous.
But the prosperity of this place is obviously much lower than before Yuan Shu took charge.
“Okay, okay, highway”
“If you don’t come in, will you have to blow the cold wind outside?”
Yuan Shaopi said with a smile.
The weather was already close to early winter, and the temperature at night was not particularly high.
Yuan Shu angrily brushed his sleeves.
Standing in front of him were Yuzhou Governor Kong You, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao and others. They were not very active people and did not dare to stand up and help Yuan Shu.
This was the first meeting between the two Yuans, and it was obvious that Yuan Shu had been embarrassed.
But the next thing to discuss was the top priority.
It will directly determine who will be the leader of the alliance!
