The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106 Calling for Dong Zhuo to be spread widely (seeking first order)
After Zhang Liao returned with three thousand troops, Wei Tao heaved a sigh of relief.

These days Wei Tao was sitting in Changshan, not only worried that the Black Mountain Army would incite the people to avoid disaster, but also recruited soldiers.

Not only is there the Black Mountain Army now, but the news from Luoyang is getting worse day by day, Dong Zhuo is becoming more and more extravagant, and many important officials of the court are demoted by him.

With the return of Zhang Liao's 3000 men, Wei Tao now has more than 6000 soldiers including the newly recruited soldiers. If a war against Dong is set off, Wei Tao can be regarded as a town of troops.

"My lord, originally Wen Yuan was able to bring back hundreds more people, but I just saw the Heishan bandit fighting with the Jizhou army, and I never thought that the Heishan bandit took the opportunity to select soldiers to train, so that he was injured. Please punish me, my lord." !"

After returning the military rights, Zhang Liao suddenly knelt down and told the whole story.

"Pan Feng?"

Although Wei Tao felt distressed about the loss of his subordinates, he still didn't want to punish Zhang Liao. When he first heard that it was Pan Feng, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But that's all. Wei Tao has seen many famous people, so he won't be shocked by Pan Feng, but he has a little care in his heart.

"Forget it, this time you have made great achievements, and you will have the right to make decisions on the fly, and the final result is in line with my requirements. This time, you are not guilty. But it will not be an example."

Although he wasn't going to punish Zhang Liao, Wei Tao still had to say what he had to say.

"promise."

Seeing Zhang Liao retreating, Wei Tao couldn't help but nodded slightly. With this warning, it was almost enough to establish strict military discipline.

But in the future, Wei Tao could not let Zhang Liao continue to take care of the military training. Wei Tao knew that if one person unified the army for a long time, it would be very easy to transfer the army to private ownership.

Although Wei Tao doesn't have any special conditions for military training, it is not difficult to take some precautions.

This time Wei Tao planned to ask Zhao Yun to help him.

Tong Yuan was quite in favor of this. Apart from teaching Zhao Yun martial arts, Tong Yuan also taught Zhao Yun the art of war, but compared to martial arts, the art of war is not so easy to hone.

With this opportunity, Tong Yuan naturally hoped that Zhao Yun could become an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.

As for Zhao Yun, he has already decided to work for Wei Tao in the future and fight against aliens together, so naturally he will not make more objections.

But at this time, a person who surprised Wei Tao came.

Cao Cao.

"Why is my brother here?"

The news was not transmitted so quickly, not to mention that Dong Zhuo didn't want to leak out such an assassination, so Wei Tao didn't get the news that Cao Cao's assassination of Dong Zhuo would fail at this time.

"Could it be that my brother is also planning to be released as an official? I don't know where my brother wants to go?"

"Hehe... Ziyu, now I'm here to ask for something!"

Cao Cao was the same as before, first he smiled generously, then his face became serious, and he said slowly.

"Now that Dong Zhuo is in power, the officials in the court dare not speak nonsense. Although I want to do Jingke and Yiyi, I have no choice but to fail. Now that the Han Dynasty has collapsed and the imperial power has fallen, since we are the servants of the great man, then we should be the great man Do your best. I wonder if Ziyu is willing to go with me?"

"What does Brother Meng De mean by this?"

Wei Tao faintly felt something.

"Your Majesty is currently trapped by Dong Zhuo, and you can't achieve your ambitions. Since we are the subjects of the great Han Dynasty, we should call on the righteous people in the world to attack him together!"

Cao Cao looked serious, and said without any hesitation.

"As for righteousness, you can get His Majesty's secret decree, correct the edict and recruit people from all over the world."

I have to say that maybe Cao Cao at this time still has his heart towards the Han Dynasty, hoping that the Liu family of the Han Dynasty can rule the world forever.

But I have to say that even at this time, some of the methods Cao Cao was going to use made people feel a little deviant.

According to Cao Cao, he was preparing to pretend to have received His Majesty's will, and his descendants would recruit capable people from all over the world to send troops to conquer Dong Zhuo in order to submit a call to arms.

The truth of the call to arms can be understood at first glance, but all the princes in the world are bound to be dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo leading the court alone at this time. Even if they know that the call to arms is false, they will definitely attack Dong Zhuo together.

As long as Dong Zhuo can be defeated, then everyone is a hero, even the emperor cannot obliterate the fact that he was saved by everyone, so that the statement will eventually become true.

Of course, in this era, Cao Cao's actions can be regarded as audacious, at least those who regard the imperial power as supreme will definitely not be able to make such a decision
"Brother, how do you know about this?"

"Hehe... I ask my brother for two things. One is to subsidize me with a sum of money and food for military use, and the other is to be able to respond after the call for payment is issued."

Cao Cao is Cao Cao, even if he said something about lending money and food, it would make people feel heartbroken.

"As for the call to action was issued by Cao, Cao should be responsible for it."

"Where is the elder brother talking? Since the elder brother is willing to do it, the younger brother is willing to be listed as the same name. As for money and food, I don't get much in Changshan County, but if the elder brother goes to Chen Liuwei's house, his wish will definitely be fulfilled."

Wei Tao replied with a serious expression when he heard Cao Cao's words.

At the same time, it also showed that even if money and food were to be lent, it was a private matter of Chen Liuwei's family, not Wei Tao's doing it for his own benefit.

"Since that's the case, please wait for the good news, Brother Ziyu. Within a month, I will definitely attack Dong Zhuo with Lai and Brother."

I have to say that Cao Cao is indeed a talented person. After getting help from the Wei family, he also got family money from the Cao family.

For such a move, generals came to vote. In addition to Cao Cao’s brothers Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, there was also general Li Dian, who was happy to vote. Wei Tao, who learned about this, really envied him. endlessly.

Although Cao Cao's method of coercion was somewhat unconventional, it has to be said that the effect was very good.

Yuan Shao responded immediately after receiving this coercive edict, and ordered [-] soldiers from Bohai to come to help.

When traveling to the mountains, Wei Tao led 5000 men to follow him. Although he had recruited soldiers recently, Wei Tao knew the truth that it is better not to have too many recruits, but he would not pull the recruits into battle. .

Seeing that it was Wei Tao's arrival, out of the idea of ​​showing off and intimidating, Yuan Shao naturally showed off his army.

When 5000 soldiers were compared with 3 soldiers, the momentum of Wei Tao's side suddenly fell. Moreover, with the background of the Yuan family, the [-] soldiers were all armed with weapons and leather armor, which looked quite extraordinary.

"Sure enough, he is indeed worthy of being the general under Benchu's command, and he is indeed the world's elite!"

Even Wei Tao has to admit this, Yuan Shao really deserves to be one of the princes in the future, and his military appearance is extraordinary.

If he had used this army to attack the Black Mountain bandits a few months ago, he might have defeated them in one fell swoop, but Yuan Shao has never seen such an action, and he may have taken the opportunity to coerce Jizhou.

"This time to defeat Dong Zhuo, we still need to use our initial strength, and Tao can only follow suit."

Seeing Wei Tao like this, Yuan Shao was overjoyed and immediately smiled.

"Working together for the country, why divide each other, Ziyu will go with me, and let the heroes of the world know that there are true righteous men in Jizhou!"

Seeing Yuan Shao like this, he looked a little carried away just by a compliment, Wei Tao just smiled and nodded, but didn't say much.

What Cao Cao issued was a coercive edict, which many people can see, but for this coercive edict, all the princes who saw it responded one after another. In addition, Wei Tao and Yuan Shao had a total of [-] soldiers and horses coming. .

The remaining sixteen routes of soldiers and horses are: Rear General Nanyang Prefect Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni, Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai, Hanoi Prefect Wang Kuang, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, Dongjun Prefect Qiao Mao, Shanyang Governor Yuan Yi, Governor of Jibei Bao Xin, Governor Kong Rong of Beihai, Governor Zhang Chao of Guangling, Governor Tao Qian of Xuzhou, Governor Ma Teng of Xiliang, Governor Gongsun Zan of Beiping, Governor Zhang Yang of Shangdang, and Governor Sun Jian of Changsha, Marquis of Wucheng.

The soldiers and horses of the Eighteenth Route are different, plus the volunteer soldiers recruited by Cao Cao, that is, the soldiers and horses of the Nineteen Towns. The soldiers and horses of the Eighteenth Routes are not subordinate to each other, and there may even be conflicts between them. not easy.

"Benchu ​​is the descendant of the Yuan family. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have disciples and old officials all over the world. Today, we gather an alliance. We should use Benchu ​​as the leader of the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo together!"

At this time, Cao Cao really didn't have too many selfish intentions, as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly gave up the position of the leader.

Cao Cao was the initiator of this meeting, so his words naturally held a great deal of weight.

"Humph!"

However, having Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance was in line with most people's wishes, only Yuan Shu, who was also a descendant of the Yuan family, snorted secretly.

From Yuan Shu's point of view, he is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and his status is more orthodox than Yuan Shao's. He should be the leader of the alliance.

It's a pity that no one asked for a recommendation. No matter how cheeky Yuan Shu was, he couldn't recommend himself at this time, otherwise he might be laughed at.

And this is not just relying on fame, but in terms of strength alone, this time the alliance, Yuan Shao led the most soldiers, and they are all elite soldiers, which is convincing.

So after snorting coldly, Yuan Shu could only get angry secretly, not daring to object openly.

In fact, it is ridiculous to say that the one who got here was at least a prefect of a county, and even an governor of the state, but in the end, Yuan Shao was the leader.

This is the use of fame, and in the entire Han Dynasty, only the Yuan family with four generations and three princes has such a great reputation.

In the end, needless to say, Yuan Shao naturally got the affirmation of everyone and became the leader of the alliance. Everyone else also led their own troops, especially Yuan Shu, who even got the post of Governor-General.

"The Han Dynasty is unlucky, and the emperor's principles are out of order. The traitor Dong Zhuo, taking advantage of the quarrel, harmed the supreme, and abused the common people. Fearing the loss of the country, Shao and others gathered righteous soldiers and went to the country. All of us are allies, work together, so that There must be no two ambitions in the festival of ministers. If you have this alliance, you will lose your life, and there will be no inheritance. The emperor and the land, the ancestors and the spirit, all learn from it."

After taking the oath with all the people who came from the alliance, Yuan Shao immediately issued orders decisively.

"All the army, let's go!"
