It turned out that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, Cao Ying thought that Dong Zhuo's move violated the peace of heaven and was self-defeating, and he should take advantage of this time when the sea was shaking, take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely eradicate Dong Thief, so that a battle can determine the world!

As a result, the princes, for various reasons, were reluctant to attack. It is also to blame that Sun Jian, who was at the forefront at the beginning, was calculated by Yuan Shu, and not only suffered defeat, but also suffered heavy losses. As soon as the precedent was set, the princes now distrust each other, and under each other's evil intentions, no one wants to fight that head.

Not to mention whether he can win or not, he said that he was desperately trying to kill in front, but he was stabbed by his allies in the back, who would want to do such a stupid thing.

Seeing this, Cao Ying was furious and led his troops to chase Dong Zhuo.

Needless to say, Cao Ying encountered an ambush under Dong Zhuobu, returned defeated, and almost died. In fact, at this time, not to mention much, if there can still be a prince following behind Cao Ying to pursue Dong Zhuo, then the enemy army will definitely be broken, and it may even be possible to completely defeat Dong Zhuo and save Emperor Xian.

It's a pity, it's a pity, it's useless to say anything now.

Cao Ying fled for most of the night, and it was not until this morning that he fled back to Luoyang with the remnants of the defeated army, and at this time, Guo Jia was still sleeping. Yuan Shao hurriedly took all the princes to give Cao Ying a wine to suppress the shock, but during the banquet, there were actually some princes gloating, looking like 'Cao Mengde, don't listen to the old man's words and suffer in front of you, tell you not to listen to us, let you not chase you and have to chase you, now it's okay, I almost died at the hands of the enemy, and I suffered a lot'.

Cao Ying was angry and sad again, no longer paying attention to his face, and scolded the princes unceremoniously: "The erection is not enough and the plan!" ”

Then, he directly led the troops away, and from beginning to end, Cao Ying had never even entered Luoyang City, and he also didn't know that Guo Jia had broken away from Dong Zhuo

Cao Ying's sudden departure made Guo Jia very depressed, drinking and sleeping incorrectly. Originally, Guo Jia planned to go with Cao Ying, or rather, Guo Jia also believed that as long as Cao Ying saw him, he would definitely take the initiative to invite him to go with him.

At that time, Guo Jia will have a suitable reason to say goodbye to Yuan Shao and go with Cao Ying. And now, not to mention that Guo Jia is not good at talking to Guo Tu and the Xin family brothers, even if he wants to catch up, it is too dangerous. Not only is Guo Jia personally dangerous, but so many of his family properties are even more dangerous!

It's not that Guo Jia doesn't have confidence in his future, thinking that if his daughter is gone, he won't come back. It's that Guo Jia knows that there will be no chance to loot money like he did in the future. No matter who Guo Jia is with in the future, or even he fights the world by himself, unless Guo Jia wants to smash his signboard, he will not be able to do such a thing.

Therefore, the property here is very important to Guo Jia now, and it can be said that most of his life savings may be here. balanced left and right, and in the end, Guo Jia decided to temporarily look good with Yuan Shao for the sake of "money".

Just like the original idea, Yuan Shao is not a useless person, if he can mix well under Yuan Shao, Guo Jia may always follow Yuan Shao, and when the time comes, he will help Yuan Shao win the battle of Guandu, and he can still become a great hero. Even if you still think it's good with Cao Ying, then Yuan Shao can be completely used as a springboard here.

However, this time Guo Jia is too taken for granted, Yuan Shao is not Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao's situation here is completely different from Dong Zhuo, Guo Jia still wants to soar into the sky again, but it is not so easy

After Sun Jian and Cao Ying left, it can be said that there was no one in the alliance army of the princes who was determined to fight Dong Zhuo.

Since then, the Kwantung anti-Dong princes' alliance army has existed in name only.

Then, the old and new hatreds between the princes were mixed, and some of the farther ones were just fine, and the closer ones almost had friction with each other. Among them, Yanzhou Taishou Liu Dai and Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao had already had grievances, Liu Dai borrowed grain from Qiao Mao and did not give it, led troops to attack Qiao Mao, under the fierce fight of the two armies, Liu Dai, who took the initiative to attack, was slightly superior, and finally Qiao Mao was killed, the rest of the people were captured, and Liu Dai annexed Qiao Mao's troops in this way.

The other princes watched them fight, and at most they only verbally comforted them, and did not really make any acts of mediation. In particular, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance army of the princes, did not play a role at all at this time. The people on both sides put it bluntly, and they didn't take Yuan Shao's words seriously at all.

At this time, Yuan Shao probably finally realized that he, the leader of the alliance, was a false name, famous, and had no real power, and the princes were acting according to their own interests, and they would not really listen to him at all.

Seeing that everyone was scattered, Yuan Shao simply left it alone, and then did not mention the attack on Dong Zhuo, led the troops to pull out the village, left Luoyang, and returned to Guandong. As a result, the Kwantung anti-Dong princes' alliance army was completely disbanded.

On the surface, he fought a big victory, forcing Dong Zhuo to give up Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an. But in fact, the Kwantung Alliance Army was overhead and collapsed without a fight, which only increased the laughter.

By the time Guo Jia had to leave Luoyang with Yuan Shao, there was still no news of his confused father Hu Zhao. There was no way, Guo Jia could only send someone to deliver the letter again, saying that Hu Tu and his party had already left with Yuan Shao, and as for whether the letter could be delivered, it could only be left to fate

In this way, Guo Jia took his female dependents and followed Yuan Shao to the Bohai Sea. Although Yuan Shao is the leader of the Kwantung Alliance, he can't hide the fact that he is just a Bohai Taishou, where would the arrogant Yuan Shao be willing to live in such a small place all the time.

So, within a few days, Guo Jia was invited by Yuan Shao to discuss major matters.

Speaking of which, now Guo Jia does not directly seek refuge with Yuan Shao because of Cai Yong's reasons on the surface, but is between a "guest" and a "servant". If it was just a guest, it would be impossible for Yuan Shao to come to Guo Jia to discuss some big and small matters; And Guo Jia's situation is different from that of ordinary servants, sometimes Guo Jia comes to attend the meetings of Yuan Shao's army as an observer, and sometimes, even after the discussion is over, Yuan Shao comes to talk to Guo Jia.

Yuan Shao seems to have a lot of respect for Guo Jia and has always treated him politely, but Guo Jia, who has calmed down, has gradually understood that Yuan Shao seems to have a kind of intention to put him in the cabinet. On the surface, Guo Jia is put high and served well, but in fact, he has no intention of using it at all!

Yuan Shao can't trust himself? Or do you think you don't have any real talent? That's what Guo Jia has been thinking about lately.

Yuan Shao summoned Guo Jia, but there was no one else, it was obvious that they had already finished discussing it internally, so they came to ask Guo Jia's "opinion". In fact, what Yuan Shao was looking for Guo Jia to do this time, Guo Jia had already heard about it from Guo Tu and others in advance, so he was not surprised.

However, for Guo Jia, it may also be an opportunity to test Yuan Shao's sincerity.

The two sat opposite each other, cooking tea and waiting, "Now Chang'an has a young monarch in name, but it is controlled by Dong Zhuo, in order to seek a long-term plan, when the sea sees the lord of Zhongxing, what does Lord Guo think?" Yuan Shao said straight to the point.
