The armies of the three princes are now united not for the intrigue between each other, but for the crusade against Dong Thief, so Cao Cao will stop there.

He looked at Sun Jian.

Sun Wentai is different, this is his intuition, and at the same time, there is a feeling that this will be a very formidable opponent in the future.

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth cracked, smiled, and said, "Since Brother Wentai said so, a certain family naturally believes it!" ”

He knows very well that no matter what connection Sun Jian has with Yizhou, now is not the time to turn his face.

After all, it is not beneficial to turn against Sun Wentai now, maybe there will be a civil strife, let alone enter Jingzhao and recapture the Son of Heaven, maybe the tragedy of the war against Mu will be repeated.

You must know that in the war against the herdsmen back then, the princes of the world united, how strong, but because of internal problems, they collapsed in the first war, went their own way, and finally were killed by the herdsmen and almost wiped out.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Xiliang stabbing the herdsman in the back at the end, they would have lost that battle.

Cao Cao absorbs experience and must not repeat the mistakes of the past, at this time, unity is king.

"Anyway, now the Mu clan is the Mu clan of the imperial court, since the Ming Marquis is willing to contribute to the imperial court, a certain family thinks that we still need to unite his forces, first quell the rebellion of the Dong thieves, stabilize the government, and then the right way!"

Cao Cao continued.

"What Brother Meng De said is very true!"

Sun Jian's expression relaxed, Cao Cao didn't stalk him at this point, he would naturally give face, he nodded, and then proposed: "The pastoral army is powerful, the world knows it, if you can let the Marquis of Ming fight for the imperial court, it would be a good thing!" ”

"Both brothers said so, and a certain self will not object!"

Liu Bei glanced at the two of them, and consciously responded.

Now more than 100,000 elites are attacking step by step and pressing into Guanzhong, among which the Cao army is the leader, because the Cao army is the strongest, and then the Jiangdong army, and then the Youzhou army.

However, the Youzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army traveled a long distance, and their combined strength was not as strong as the Cao Army.

Therefore, the presiding officer of this alliance naturally belongs to Cao Cao.

Since Cao Cao has already said it so clearly, Sun Jian is also on Cao Cao's position, he knows that his opposition has no effect, and he is not really against it, after all, the person who secretly sent the envoy to see Mu Jing was himself.

He hoped that the pastoral army would take him south to Chang'an and meet the Son of Heaven by chance, which was the right thing.

As for the opposition, it's just for show.

"Lord, Chang'an has a secret order to send it!"

Guo Jia suddenly walked over quickly.

He didn't want to disturb the alliance talk, after all, the three parties are all the princes in the world, and the princes with heavy troops in their hands are not something that he can compare with a strategist, but he has to report to Cao Cao for a hundred thousand urgent matters.

"What?" Cao Cao squinted, and in front of the two princes, he asked directly.

He knew that Guo Jia knew how to measure.

At this time, there must be something important to bother, but in order to show sincerity, he must ask in front of the two princes.

Guo Jia thought about it, and didn't shy away from the two of them, and reported directly: "Dong Thief is already mad, he actually wants to coerce the emperor to conquer, such as today, he has been surrounded by the Xiliang army, and is rushing to the road to the Hongnong battlefield!" ”

"What?"

Not only did Cao Cao's face change color when he heard the news, but even Liu Bei and Sun Jian, they couldn't sit still, and their expressions became very frightened.

"How so?"

Liu Bei's pupils changed color, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

This time, it can be regarded as completely disrupting his plan.

"Dong Thief is really ruthless, he is putting him to death and then living, telling the world that even if he dies, he must be buried with His Majesty, how insidious, what a monarch, such a rebellious minister, absolutely can't stay!" Sun Jian said very resolutely.

"His move may not be self-respecting without coercing His Majesty, let us cast a rat trap, in this way, it will definitely cause Dong Thief to be unscrupulous, and we, afraid of Your Majesty's safety, will inevitably be a little afraid to die!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and stabilized his mind, at this time, the most undisturbed thing was himself, he had to be calm in order to think of countermeasures: "But this is not all bad things, one thing is good for us, that is, the Xiliang army will not continue to avoid us if the emperor is fighting, and it is possible that Hongnong will fight to the death with us!" ”

"Hongnon?"

"With Hongnong as the battlefield, where is the most suitable?"

Liu Bei and Sun Jian are both strong-minded people, and it is difficult to change the fact that the emperor was held hostage into the battlefield at this moment, so they can only look forward, how to defeat the Xiliang army and win this battle is the key.

"Marching map!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and the soldiers around him spread out the carefully drawn marching maps on the desk.

The three princes, all of whom were heroes killed on the battlefield, were all proficient in military strategy, and they began to stare at the marching map at the same time and began to analyze the current situation.

"According to the scout, at present, the Xiliang Army has no intention of continuing to withdraw into Jingzhao, so the scope of the battlefield can only be in Hongnong?" Cao Cao opened his mouth and spoke first.

"Will you go from Hongnong West, to the northwest, through Hedong, into Beidi, and return directly to Liangzhou?" Sun Jian said suspiciously.

"No!"

Liu Bei said: "Now that the state is merged, most of it has been occupied by my Youzhou army and Jizhou Yuan army, he wants to enter the north from the east of the river, he can't bypass the state, once it is blocked, he will face the situation of the front and back encirclement, Dong thief is a good marcher, such a mistake, will never be made!" ”

"I agree!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, agreed, and said: "If the Dong thief has the courage to abandon Guanzhong, he will not be stationed in Hongnong, he will directly return to Jingzhao, and then tear apart the strength of the western front of the herdsmen, and unite with the Xiliang army in Liangzhou, we don't have enough time to intercept it, even if the herdsmen, in that case, in the face of the breakthrough of them, they may not have enough determination to fight with them, they can easily withdraw to Xiliang!" ”

"Guanzhong is rich, Liangzhou is so barren, it's not that I look at him as young as Dong Zhongying, enjoying the richness and comfort of Guanzhong, he won't go back to Xiliang, he can retreat from Luoyang to Chang'an, it's already the limit!" Sun Jian fought in the Liangzhou Rebellion, and he was more familiar with Dong Zhuo than ordinary people.

"But he stationed troops in Hongnong, what is the danger here?"

Cao Cao didn't understand this: "Huayin? ”

"Not necessarily!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Our scouts have been patrolling around for a long time, their main force should not be in Huayin City, and Huayin can't stop us!" ”

"Anyway, I don't think we can wait!"

Sun Jian said: "I will send troops tonight and take Lingkoudu!" ”

"Defend the north bank of the Yellow River?"

Cao Cao soon realized Sun Jian's strategic intentions.

"Anyway, confine them to the south bank of the Yellow River first, so it's easier for us to fight them, isn't it?" Sun Jian said.

"That's right!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Do you need me to send troops to help?" ”

"No need, the ferries on both sides of the Yellow River belong to me, I will force their Xiliang army out of the mouth of the Yellow River first, and let the herdsmen escape by water, it will definitely not happen again!" Sun Jian said.

The battle of Luoyang City is a knot in the hearts of many people, Mu Jing is on fire, burning everyone in fear, but he comes out of Luoshui, as if he is playing with the princes of the world in the palm of his hand.

"Then I'll stabilize the northern line first, even if we conclude that the Xiliang army will not escape from Guanzhong, we have to take precautions in this regard, and I will block the east road to the north of the river!" Liu Bei also asked for a task.

"I'm the main force!"

Cao Cao took the task of the main force as a whole, and even if he suffered a loss, he didn't care, because his purpose was here.

"Brother Meng De, I'm still a little worried!" Liu Bei suddenly spoke.

"Worried about what?"

"Against Xiliang, we can plan slowly and meet it slowly, as long as the Xiliang army is still on the battlefield, they are definitely not our opponents, but Brother Meng De, don't forget, Jizhou Yuan Jun is behind us!" Liu Bei said.

"You're worried they're going to bite us!" Cao Cao squinted.

"It stands to reason that it won't, but it must be guarded against, the chance of Yuan Benchu and Dong Zhuo joining forces is zero, but if he can take advantage of the company to destroy me and you, he won't be soft!" Liu Bei said calmly.

"That's right!"

Cao Cao nodded, agreeing with Liu Bei's words, after all, Yuan Shao is now also his enemy, when he was outside Luoyang City, Yuan Shao used himself as a bait to escape from life, and he was already a mortal enemy, he thought about it and said: "Ju Yi This person, for Yuan's original love general, has the courage of ten thousand invincibles, the first camp under his command, strong and difficult to defeat, really can't condone this person, behind us, inaction, we have to put the Yuan army of Jizhou on the battlefield, we can rest assured, in order to settle down, and Yuan thief to fight to the death!" “

"His delay in the march must be Yuan Benchu's order, at this time, he may not be willing to pull his troops up!" Sun Jian said.

"I can't help him!"

At this moment, Cao Cao looked extremely strong and domineering, and said coldly: "I will send someone to tell him, either he leads the army to the battlefield, or he is the same party as Dong thief, we will first turn around and kill him, and then meet the Xiliang army to fight to the death, at this moment, I would rather be misunderstood by the people of the world, and I must not allow any external troubles, resulting in our defeat in the battle against Xiliang!" ”
