Chapter 193
At this time, Cao Cao also fled to Chenliu in desperation, but he stopped fleeing here, and the importance of connections was revealed.

Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, was his close friend, and Cao Cao settled here, selling his property and connecting with the clan.

He was from Peiguo Qiao County, but Chen Liu was separated from Peiguo Qiao County by a country of Liang. If he escaped to Peiguo, collected food and grass, recruited soldiers, and then came back, it would be a waste of time. It would be better for Chen Liu to be closer to Luoyang.

At the same time, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Wei Zi, the famous scholar of Chenliu, admired Cao Cao's courage and contributed money and effort to help him recruit troops.

And my brothers, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong... and many young people from the countryside rushed to Chenliu to join Cao Cao.

In just one month, [-] soldiers were recruited. They lacked armor, horses, and weapons.

With the army, Cao Cao stopped hiding, and directly and openly called on all states and counties to join forces to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo.

But the embarrassing thing is that apart from himself, the governors and governors of the counties and states did not respond at all.

To put it bluntly, the appeal is not enough. When Mr. Luo wrote the Three Kingdoms, he must be result-oriented, because Cao Cao was one of the final victors in the troubled times at the end of Han Dynasty, so all good things belong to him.

But in fact, now Cao Cao is soft-spoken and does not have enough appealing ability. Although he did appeal, he failed in the end.

No one responded, and Cao Cao hated it secretly, but he had no choice but to practice soldiers and horses temporarily.

In the first year of Chuping, that is, in the first month of 190 A.D., Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, called on all states and counties to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo in the name of Sangong.

This time, the prefects in various places really responded. Later general Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou governor Kong Ni, Yanzhou governor Liu Dai, Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, Bohai prefect Yuan Shao, Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao, Dongjun prefect Qiao Mao... these ten prefects responded. As for Cao Cao temporarily attached to Zhang Miao, at the same time Sun Jian temporarily attached to Yuan Shu.

It is indeed a little bit reluctant to say that they are considered princes along the way.

In short, the princes from all walks of life responded to the call one after another. In the end, Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang stationed troops in Hanoi, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, and Yuan Yi stationed troops in Suanzao.

Food and grass and soldiers are not dropped from the sky. They must be snatched from the people, and the people must be captured as strong men, so that an army can be formed.

It was also the Eastern Han Dynasty that prospered Wen and Yan Wu. Only the Imperial Army and the Frontier Army still had their establishments.

If there was no Yellow Turban Uprising, the local tyrants would eventually be too big to lose. Just because they wanted to rebel, they would be wiped out by the imperial court before the soldiers and food were collected.

Yuan Shao did not come to the Suanzao Huimeng, only the four princes'huimeng. None of the four prefects dared to come to power, for fear that they would eventually become a thorn in Yuan Shao's eyes, so they unanimously recommended Zang Hong.

Put a layer of justice on their army, and finally respect Yuan Shao in Hanoi as the leader of the alliance. Although they haven't actually sent troops yet, the coalition has already formed.

In fact, if you look closely at these princes and this meeting, you will find that they do not have much strength, and even those Liu's clan members who are state shepherds hardly participate in the meeting.

Liu Yan, Liu Yu, are they stupid?Or are they not loyal to the emperor, not to the court?

On the contrary, they are all very intelligent and loyal to the emperor and the court.

What are their identities?
They are all relatives of the Liu family!

As long as the emperor is still surnamed Liu, then the surname is Liu in this world, and they will respect the court.

What did Dong Zhuo do?Dong Zhuo has become a minister of power!And domineering, extremely presumptuous.

But so what, he did not usurp the throne, although the emperor was wronged, but after Dong Zhuo's death, the emperor's surname was Liu, the surname of the world was Liu, and the Han Dynasty still existed.

Therefore, why do these relatives surnamed Liu get involved with the aristocratic family? What are these aristocratic families doing? They are rebelling!

The emperor was not dead yet, they openly raised troops against the imperial court, no matter how righteous they put on, even if they were said to be kings, they were actually rebelling.

This is a trample on the imperial power, and the longer it lasts, the greater the harm to the imperial power.

What the local people know, they only know that they don't have to listen to the Liu emperor anymore, they only listen to the words of the prefect, the governor, these local emperors.

This is not the first time that the aristocratic family has acted boldly, because it was not long ago.

He Jin was fooled by himself. The family had already lost at that time. After all, according to the rules of political struggle, the power of the court should belong to the eunuchs, and the family should retreat by themselves and wait for the next opportunity.

But they did not retreat, but led their troops into the palace and all the eunuchs in the palace.

This is not a political struggle, this is a military struggle, and it is still trampling on the imperial power. The place where the emperor lives was broken by the troops led by the courtiers.

The words of the sages, the monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, were trampled under their feet. This also has the face to claim to have read the books of sages.

However, after doing such a thing, they still did not win the power of the court, because Dong Zhuo came, relied on his wit and decisiveness, quickly gathered all the military power, and then pushed himself to the throne of powerful officials. Dong Zhuo's operation can be said to crush the family.

By this time, the aristocratic family should admit defeat. According to the rules of political struggle, they should wait until Dong Zhuo's death before making the final settlement.

But they still didn't admit defeat, and went to the local separatists to rebel, and for their own benefit, they did not hesitate to push the big man into the abyss.

Therefore, how could those Liu family members get involved with the aristocratic family? There are many smart people in the world, but there are not many people who are as stupid as He Jin and can still be high officials.

To sum up, these princes are not strong, but the influence of the rebellion is not weak.

When the news reached Luoyang, Dong Zhuo cursed angrily. The officials he had been dismissed are now uniting to deal with him. Whoever is responsible for this matter will be able to calm down.

So directly ordered:

"Propose that so-and-so to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, those traitors and officials, arrest them and punish them with capital punishment, beheading, car cracking, I want them to die..."

Having said that, Dong Zhuo said again:
"Hurry up and invite Wen You to come here, I have something important to discuss!"

Not long after, Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru approaching, and immediately stepped forward to hold his hand tightly, and said sincerely:
"Wen You, I'm in trouble. Those rebels are united to attack me. Those rebels are no more than pigs and dogs in my eyes. If I lead an army to attack, I will kill them at will. However, if I lead an army to attack, the aristocratic families in Luoyang will definitely do something. If they snatch the emperor, all they need is an edict. Not only the original central army may betray, but all the prefects and counties will send troops to encircle and suppress me..."

"If I stay in Luoyang, most of the main force will stay in Luoyang. It's just one or two partial divisions. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wipe out the rebels. What should I do now?"

After Li Ru thought for a while, he looked at Dong Zhuo and said solemnly:

"Ming Gong, how about moving the capital? Moving the capital to Chang'an, Luoyang has no danger to defend. Now Kanto has rebelled, staying in Luoyang is not good, it is all bad. Why don't we go back to Guanzhong, where there are natural dangers to defend, and Guanzhong is very close to Liangzhou. As long as we get the help of those two, we have the emperor in our hands and have a strong army. Just a traitor!"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, his eyes revealed a thoughtful look:

"Move the capital, Marquis Wen, Boyu... If that's the case, then move the capital, Wen You, go to Chang'an first, tidy up the palace, and then send the emperor there. Don't let the family snatch it. I'll wait a little longer in Luoyang. A group of pig and dog-like things are also worthy of raising troops and rebelling. I will let them know what war is.

When he said this, Dong Zhuo had a ferocious smile on his face. His courage, courage, and ambition... are still at their peak!
