Wild jujube is in Chenliu County.
The blood oath of the eighteen towns was not as simple as having a drink when everyone was present.
When Cao Cao was still in Luoyang, Yuan Shao had already decided on an auspicious day. He invited all the vassals to arrive at Ziziander on that day and swear an oath of blood. At the same time, he elected an alliance leader to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
the thirteenth day of the first month
Cao Cao and the others set off on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
In five days, without any obstacles from the city, and with over four thousand cavalrymen, it was more than enough.
......
time flies
the thirteenth day of the first month
noon
The gates of the wild jujube city are wide open.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
On the city wall, the sound of drums rang out.
The various dukes also brought their troops to the alliance meeting.
"The number one town of the Revolutionary Army, Nanyang Prefecture Governor Yuan Shu, has led an army of 20,000 to an alliance!”
......
"The Second Town, Jizhou Governor Han Fu, led an army of 20,000 to form an alliance!”
......
outside the city
Cao Cao and the others also stopped.
If they wanted to enter the city at this time, they would have to wait.
After all, each of the dukes had brought tens of thousands of soldiers. Entering the city and settling them down required time.
Seeing so many people, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.
Two months ago, he was still thinking of ways to get rid of Dong Zhuo through assassination.
But now, he had a military force under his command, gathered his brothers, and became one of the dukes.
Thinking back to what Ding Han had said to him that day, it seemed that everything had come true.
Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Ding Han again. His eyes were filled with relief as he asked,"
"Zhixiu, do you think we can really get rid of Dong Zhuo this time?”
“......”
At this moment, Ding Han was looking into the distance, curiously looking at the mighty armies of the various dukes, as if he was watching a show.
No one expected Cao Cao to ask this question.
Getting rid of Dong Zhuo at this time?
What kind of joke was this?
If Dong Zhuo was gone, where would they go to earn battle credits and fight for territory?
Ding Han looked at Cao Cao helplessly.
He sighed in his heart. It seemed that Old Cao still did not understand what he really meant.
Joining the alliance army was to increase his reputation.
Secondly, it was to get a better territory and slowly develop and expand. He would look for opportunities to expand his territory.
however
Ding Han could not possibly say this in front of so many people.
looked around
Chen Gong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong were all looking at him.
“......”
Good lord, he made it seem like Dong Zhuo would die immediately after he nodded.
"Ahem." Ding Han coughed and shook his head. He explained,"
"The dukes of the Eighteen Towns are a mix of good and bad.”
Cao Cao nodded. He did not expect Ding Han to give him an answer.
Actually, everyone knew what the various dukes were like.
But he just wanted to hear Ding Han's opinion.
He thought of something and continued,
"After we enter the city, follow me to the meeting hall.”
"I also want to see for myself what kind of morals these dukes have.”
Ding Han was the number one strategist in his heart. He would definitely bring him to the meeting hall.
Even if he didn't want to go, he had to drag it out.
Ding Han glanced at Cao Cao indifferently. How could he not read Cao Cao's mind? He smiled faintly and said,
"Alright, Yuan Rang. Cousin Zixiao, come along too.”
"Although we have few soldiers, we have many great talents who lead troops to battle.”
"In this alliance meeting, we can't let them see through our background in one go, but we also can't let them lose their momentum in front of all the dukes.”
He instructed Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren,
This time, he was not going to slack off.
If Liu Guanzhang wanted to stand out, he had to go through him first.
"Alright."
Seeing Ding Han agree, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
With Ding Han around, he felt much more at ease.
He looked at everyone and said,
"Yuan Rang, Zixiao, follow us to the palace. The rest of you, settle the troops and train them.”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone cupped their fists in response and did not have any objections.
Ding Han could not help but look at Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren. He could not help but remind them,
"Remember, no matter what happens in the meeting hall, without my orders, no one is allowed to act rashly.”
“......”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding what Ding Han meant.
Cao Ren also asked in confusion,"
"Zhixiu, could it be that there will be some trouble in this hall?”
along the way
Everyone became familiar with each other.
With Cao Cao and Chen Gong's help in promoting Ding Han, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu's understanding of Ding Han had changed. After getting along with him, they all felt that Ding Han was not bad.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. Just remember this sentence when the time comes.”
Ding Han smiled mysteriously. He didn't explain much, and he couldn't do so.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren subconsciously glanced at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao also looked at Ding Han curiously. He obviously didn't know what Ding Han was thinking, but he still nodded.
"Zhi Xiu's order is my order. If he doesn't speak, no one in the hall can act rashly.”
"Yes, sir!"
Since Cao Cao had spoken, the two could only listen.
It was not a big deal, but Ding Han's words were a little too baffling.
......
time flies
The various dukes entered the city one after another, and it was their turn to enter the last town.
entered the city
As expected, he still met the Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers.
Liu Bei had a fat head and big ears. His expression was calm, and he really had the calmness of a person who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Guan Yu held a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. He had red phoenix eyes, eyebrows that were like silkworms, and a date red complexion. He looked heroic and extraordinary. Although his clothes were simple, he looked majestic.
Zhang Fei was tall and sturdy, with a full beard on his face. His voice was loud and clear, but his personality was very irritable.
Looking at the three of them, Cao Cao immediately began to admire them.
After arguing with the guards at the city gate, he brought Liu Guan Zhang into the wild jujube.
Just as they had discussed, Ding Han, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Ren followed Cao Cao to the meeting hall.
The others went to settle the troops.
"The Eighteenth Town of the Revolutionary Army, Cavalry Lieutenant Cao Cao, has come with four thousand strong men from his family to meet in the alliance.”
The voice interrupted the discussion of the dukes, and everyone turned to look at the door.
into the main hall
Naturally, they exchanged pleasantries.
Immediately after, Zhang Fei shouted, revealing Liu Guanzhang's background and causing the dukes to mock him.
Ding Han didn't say a word during this period of time. He just watched the show quietly.
