Cao Cao had just started his own business and had not even started yet. He only had this idea.
How could he bear to drag Guan Hai out and kill him?
"This Cao is not a bloodthirsty person and is about to go to Chenliu to raise an army. If General does not give up, you can gather your old subordinates and follow me to seek fame.”
"Hai Yuan is the Yellow Turban Marshal and is wanted by the imperial court. If he follows you, I'm afraid he will tarnish your reputation.”
I often slaughter dogs for justice.
If it was an ordinary person, they would not care so much if they had a chance to live. They would agree first.
However, Guan Hai had only received respect from Cao Cao for a long time. When he was still a prisoner, he actually put himself in Cao Cao's shoes.
It made people sigh.
Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently." It's fine. I, Cao Cao, failed to assassinate Dong and fled Luoyang in a panic. At this moment, there are probably more portraits of me than General Guan.”
Hearing this, Guan Hai no longer hesitated. He pushed the golden mountains and toppled the jade pillars, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing heavily three times."Greetings, my lord!"
Cao Cao rejoiced,
This was his first true subordinate. No matter what, it could be considered as the first step to success.
Moreover, after this battle, not only would he have gathered the servants of the Lyu Residence, but he would also gain the loyalty of a whole village of Yellow Turban soldiers.
The initial team was built.
After Guan Hai joined, things became much simpler.
With him stepping forward, all the Yellow Turbans in the village surrendered. After counting, Cao Cao had another 2,000 strong men.
However, they had also lost nearly ten thousand weak, old, women, and children.
After a few days of rest, they waited for Lu Boshe to quickly sell off the local property at a low price before they set off for the east.
Outside Si Li's territory, Dong Zhuo's influence was seriously reduced.
In fact, the further east they went, the more they couldn't even see the wanted portraits of the three people in the county towns they passed.
"Brother, Chen Liu is in front. Once we reach there, I will find you a precious horse and divine weapon.”
"Big brother, look ahead."
Cao Cao looked in the direction that Chen Tong was pointing and saw the soldiers of Chenliu County lined up in a straight line. The leader was a man in his thirties, and his tall horse was already waiting for him.
"Don't worry, brother. That person is my good friend, Zhang Miao, also known as Meng Zhuo.”
Chen Tong grinned.
Zhang Miao, as the Imperial Court's Governor of Chen Liu, had openly violated Prime Minister Dong Zhuo's bounty and went out of the city to welcome the Imperial Court's criminal. This was simply pushing Fatty Dong's face to the ground and stepping on it.
The two of them quickly rode forward. At the same time, Zhang Miao also came forward to welcome them.
"Hahaha, after so many years, Meng De is still as elegant as ever. He still has a heroic spirit.”
"Brother Meng Zhuo, please don't tease me. Cao Cao is in dire straits now and still needs to rely on his old friend to take care of him.”
Zhang Miao pretended to be furious." Cao Aman, what are you talking about? With our friendship, what's the harm in giving the position of Governor of Chen Liu to you?"”
"Alright, I know that your Brother Meng Zhuo is loyal, so you can keep the position of Governor Chen Liu for yourself. However, you have to give me a piece of land in the city to recruit soldiers.”
"Recruit soldiers?" Zhang Miao, who had been speaking empty words just now, appeared somewhat unwilling, but he couldn't directly embarrass Cao Cao.
After all, Old Cao's family was quite powerful in Chen Liu. If they really fell out, it was really hard to say who would get lost in Chen Liu.
Cao Cao pretended not to see through Zhang Miao's thoughts, patting his chest and continuing,""That's right. The emperor gave me the imperial edict to punish the thieves. I'm just waiting for me to recruit the righteous men and princes of the world to help the king punish the thieves and eliminate the evil party. Brother Meng Zhuo, you should go back and make preparations. When spring comes, the vassals will rise up and Dong Zhuo will perish.”
This time, it was Zhang Miao's turn to be unsettled.
This was the credit of protecting the king. Now that he had obtained the news first, he would get more credit than others.
"Alright, it's a big deal to serve the king and kill the thief. I don't care about the rules. I'll give the west of the city to Meng De.”Zhang Miao said as he turned around.
Cao Cao hurriedly called out from behind,"Hey! Hey! Brother Meng Zhuo, don't be so busy. I'll introduce you to my sworn brother.”
"Alright…"
"This is my sworn brother, called Chen Tong.”
"Alright, leave this matter to me. Little brother can go to the prefect's manor to choose when the time comes.”After Zhang Miao finished speaking, he turned his horse around and left.
He was really anxious. With the great merit right in front of him, the county soldiers under him had low combat strength and had not trained properly.
The expedition was imminent, so he had to sharpen his spear before the battle.
Otherwise, the fruits of victory might not be his to divide.
"Big brother, your good friend is really passionate, leaving you alone in the cold wind.”
Cao Cao couldn't help but smile as he looked at Zhang Miao,""This person is the most righteous. Brother, just you wait. You don't even need to personally send a message. Before long, I, Cao Cao, will carry the emperor's edict and the news of raising the righteous army to attack Dong Zhuo will spread to the world.”
"Oh, how convenient."
After the two finished speaking, they returned to the city.
Cao Cao first met Old Master Cao, and after a little persuasion, he got a huge sum of money.
He also set up an open space in the west of the city to issue the order to recruit soldiers.
..........
"Have you heard? Cao Cao conscripted troops to attack the enemy. Those who were recruited into the army were given ten sons every month.”
"Really? Ten sons? I heard that the prefect's mansion only recruited seven sons. Who is this Cao Gong?”
"You must be ignorant. This Cao Gong's surname is Cao Cao, and his name is Meng De. A while ago, he was the one who stabbed the traitor Dong Zhuo with a knife. Unfortunately, the heavens did not open their eyes and did not let the traitor die.”
"There are still such heroes in Chen Liu. I must go and take a look.”
This was how the world worked.
Who would really care about what Cao Cao did? If he went to his place, it was purely because he gave more money than the prefect.
"Not only that, I heard that anyone who can challenge the military commander Chen Tong, as long as they can last three rounds in his hands, their pay will immediately double, and they will have meat to eat.”
"Who is Chen Tong?"
"I'm not sure about that. It's said that up until now, none of the warriors who have gone to serve him have been able to last three rounds against him.”
The conversation between the two was heard by the man wearing a bamboo hat in the crowd, and he immediately became energetic.
He was originally prepared to go to Zhang Miao to make a living, but now that he had a better choice, he naturally had to go and take a look.
After all, they were all soldiers. Who wouldn't want to go to a place with better treatment?
He immediately stretched out his iron-pestle-like arm and grabbed the person who spoke.
Everyone saw his strength and retreated to dodge.
The man's voice boomed like thunder,"
"Let me ask you, where is the place where Cao Gong conscripted troops?”
"Just... At the end of the long street, please, please, please put me down.”
"Thank you."
The evil man let go of his hand lightly and placed the person who was chatting steadily on the ground. Then, he turned around and strode to the end of the long street, leaving behind the people who were still in shock and whispering to each other.
