Chapter 34: Go to Chenliu to join the Alliance

Ma Chao led his troops away, and he had been shaken before, and it was better to take away how many soldiers he wanted to take away. Originally, his original intention was to take away ten thousand people from the mountain village, but he thought again, was there still a little less than ten thousand people. Although he didn't know how many other people who participated in the alliance brought, he felt that this one ten thousand people were not too many. Later, he wanted to take away fifty thousand, but after thinking about it, he felt that there were too many, mainly because their family members were escorting to Longxian, so there were only more than one thousand people left, which was really difficult to protect.

So in the end, Ma Chao thought of a compromise method, that is, to take away 20,000 of them, and he also felt that these 20,000 people seemed to be a little more. Maybe many people did not have more soldiers, but in order to train the troops in the mountain village, he thought this was appropriate to take 20,000 people.

The others were taken back to Longxian by Guan Hai and Zang Ba. As for why they were not allowed to go back, Ma Chao naturally had his own ideas. First of all, Guan Hai was the master of the copycat for so many years, so he was of course the most prestigious. Then they would be very relieved to lead the remaining copycats and their families. As for Zang Ba, although Guan Hai was good at martial arts, he was not very smart, but Zang Ba was different from him. Not only was he good at martial arts, but he was also very smart. Ma Chao felt that it was definitely not difficult for him to do ordinary things. So Ma Chao was actually very relieved to hand over the remaining people and their families to Guan Hai and Zang Ba.

As for Wei Ping and Liao Hua, they were those who Ma Chao had to take away. Wei Ping was a rare talent, and Ma Chao's army needed talents like him very much. As for Liao Hua, because he didn't recognize him, Ma Chao felt that he had to bring this kid with him and let him slowly recognize him. In fact, Ma Chao believed that time could change a lot, let alone his little thoughts from Liao Hua.

And just like that, Ma Chao brought 20,000 troops to Chenliu because he wanted to go there to find Cao Cao. After all, it would be better to have an acquaintance with him, let alone Cao Cao was also the initiator of the alliance. However, in Ma Chao's impression, Cao Cao was not a forgery in history and the initiator of the alliance, but he is indeed like this now.

A few days later, Ma Chao and the others finally arrived in Chenliu, and Ma Chao did not see the princes who went all the way to join the alliance. However, he rushed very in time this time. If he came one day later, Cao Cao's army would have left, and he could not even see the figure.

After seeing Ma Chao, Cao Cao was very happy. When Ma Chao was about to get married, he had met Ma Chao in Luoyang, but he never saw him again. Now it has been a year and a half, so he was really happy after seeing Ma Chao again.

"Brother Meng De, are you safe?"

"Hahaha, it's a good deal. But Meng Qi, you're here just right. It seems that you're here to participate in the alliance too!"

Although Cao Cao wondered why Ma Chao came from the east, not from the west, after all, everyone had some secrets, so Cao Cao didn't ask Ma Chao anything. In fact, he knew that even if he asked himself, Ma Chao would not be able to tell the truth to him in the end. If so, then why would he ask what he did?

"Yes, that's right! Brother Meng De is very righteous. I not only admire him, but also put him into action, so how can I not come?"

Cao Cao nodded with relief with a smile. In his thoughts, although Ma Chao has taken away all the princes, he is still much better than some people in the court.

After meeting Cao Cao, Ma Chao knew that he was really incomparable to others. Cao Cao had just reached 20,000 people. When he just returned to Chenliu, he and his father had a friend Wei Hong, who had spent all his family fortune and recruited the village heroes. The 20,000 people he had recruited were almost the same as 20,000, but it was less than 20,000. In the end, Cao Cao worked a lot to get his 20,000 people, and then he was about to attack Dong Zhuo immediately.

After seeing this, Ma Chao thought of himself again, and he was incomparable to Cao Cao. He had 50,000 people in his hands, but he had 20,000 people. Cao Cao was not enough, so he finally tried to pull 20,000 people to attack Dong Zhuo, which gave him all his family.

Cao Cao next introduced to Ma Chao the subordinates who had just defected to him recently, including the Xiahou brothers, Xiahou Dun Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Miaocai, as well as the Cao brothers, Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, Cao Hong Cao Zilian, and then Le Jin Le Wenqian, Li Dian and Li Mancheng, and the last one was Wei Hong, who spent all his money to help him.

Ma Chao also introduced several people from his side to Cao Cao. His side was Cui An, Zhang Fei, his clan brother Ma Dai, and Wei Ping and Liao Hua from the clan, and finally Jia Xu, the old fox. Ma Chao felt that although Cao Cao had a lot of people under his command now, he had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, but his side was not bad. Especially since this was just a part of his own people, there were still some people coming.

When Ma Chao brought his people here, Cao Cao was very nervous, even though he was in a hurry to see that he was in financial and supplies, he still held a big banquet to welcome Ma Chao and his group. He was embarrassed to do this for Ma Chao. He found out that Cao Cao was actually quite saving these days. As a result, Cao Cao had to spend money and food to entertain them. Cao Cao was indeed very pleased and never stingy with his friends. In the end, Ma Chao gave him a lot of food and supplies, saying it was friendly assistance, otherwise he would be sorry.

In fact, at the banquet, Ma Chao also met Cao Cao's friend, Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo, the current prefect of Chenliu. At that time, Cao Cao specially introduced him and Ma Chao to each other, "Meng Zhuo, this is the Liangzhou Muchacha that Cao often mentioned!"

"Meng Qi, this one is the prefect of Chenliu Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo!"

When Zhang Miao heard that it was Ma Chao, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Good luck, Zhou Mu is indeed a hero and a boy!"

Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Although it was the first time Chao met Brother Meng Zhuo, Brother Meng Zhuo can just call him Chao Meng Qi, and it's too far to call him Zhou Mu. Why be so polite!"

Ma Chao felt that although it was his first time to meet Zhang Miao, he called him an official position, which was too far away. From Cao Cao's words, he called Zhang Miao to Brother Meng Zhuo no matter how he said that, so he didn't want Zhang Miao to be so polite with him.

Cao Cao laughed loudly after hearing this. Cao Cao was indeed very optimistic and often laughed loudly. He said to Zhang Miao: "Oh, Meng Zhuo, why are you so polite with Meng Qi? Today I am fucking here, so everyone doesn't have to be polite!"

After hearing that both of them said this, Zhang Miao could not do this with Ma Chao anymore, so he said: "You both said this, so Miao naturally had to ignore it. He would call Meng Qi like this in the future!"

"Okay, come, come, come, everyone, hurry up and go to the table. We will not be drunk today!"

"Come on, don't go back if you're drunk!"

"please!"

Everyone did it together. After all, it was really not easy to be together, but it was not common, so everyone was happy. Cao Cao was also a hospitable person who was very friendly and friends. After the banquet, everyone went to rest early because they all knew they would have to hurry tomorrow.

In the evening, Ma Chao found Jia Xu, "Mr. Wenhe thought how did Brother Meng De and Brother Meng Zhuo?"

Jia Xuxin said, lord, lord, you are asking questions knowingly, right? Are you not clear about Cao Mengde and Zhang Mengzhuo? You still have to ask me? But since you have asked this, I can't help but answer you.

But he couldn't say these words to death, so he just smiled, but Ma Chao wouldn't understand the deep meaning of his smile. He thought he knew Jia Xu better, but in fact he still didn't understand Jia Xu.

Jia Xu just smiled faintly, and then said, "Cao Mengde was named "a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times." Xu looked at him, this is indeed the case!"

Jia Xu quoted the original words of Xu Zijiang Runan to illustrate his understanding of Cao Cao. When is it now? Is the world still peaceful? It has been a long time since the chaos, so Jia Xu just said directly that Cao Cao is a traitor.

Ma Chao laughed in his heart when he heard this, thinking that Jia Xu, the old fox, did not directly say what he thought, but told himself directly from the side. But one thing Ma Chao also felt was that Jia Xu attached importance to Cao Cao. Although Jia Xu said one, Ma Chao still understood his firm tone. And he asked him what he thought of Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, but he said Cao Cao, so this cannot be said that Jia Xu did not attach enough importance to Zhang Miao. Ma Chao understood this very well. Compared with Jia Xu, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao, there was nothing left.

Ma Chaoxin said that Jia Xu always had such a poisonous vision, and he seemed to have never missed anything in his impression.

At this time, when Cao Cao was on his side, he felt that there were not many military generals on his side now, and of course there would only be more and more in the future. However, after seeing Jia Xu beside Ma Chao, he realized that he was still missing a strategist. Although he thought he was pretty good, Ma Chao had a strategist around him, so there should be one around him.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the situation when he was still in Luoyang and was talking to Xun You. Maybe he should find an opportunity to invite Gongda to the account in the future. In Cao Cao's opinion, Xun You is a very good strategist, and he cannot miss it.

On the second day, Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Zhang Miao, the three men's three armies set off together. After all, they all wanted to join forces to fight Dong Zhuo together, and they had like-minded people, so of course the three of them had to set off together.

At the beginning, Zhang Miao was going to take 15,000 people to the league. As a result, when he learned that Cao Cao and Ma Chao were taking 20,000 people, he deliberately added 5,000 people last night. There was no way, if Cao Cao took 20,000 people, it would be fine, but unexpectedly, he and Ma Chao brought 20,000 people, and then he was the prefect of Chenliu. If there were fewer than them, it would be unreasonable to face. Zhang Miao still valued his face, especially in this case.

The princes joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo together, and they might not have met other people at any time. As a result, it was obvious that Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi both brought 20,000 people, and he brought 15,000 people, so where did he put his face? This is the case with Zhang Miao. Even if others don’t think so, he will think that others think so.

In fact, he was imposing his ideas on others, because in his opinion, if he saw three people coming at the same time, two of them brought 20,000 people, and the last one only brought 15,000 people, he would look down on the last one. He felt that he was putting his heart in favor and others would be like him. So in the end, he also brought 20,000 people with Cao Cao and Ma Chao and headed towards Luoyang.

Others don’t know Zhang Miao’s little thoughts, but Cao Cao knew very well. He had to sigh in his heart that the Han Dynasty had already been like this, but the ministers below still couldn’t do their best. Even if others didn’t know, Cao Cao knew very well. Chen Liu has at least 50,000 people now. To be honest, Cao Cao didn’t expect Zhang Miao to pull everyone to attack Dong Zhuo, but he hoped that his friend would take more people away.

But in the end, he was disappointed. Zhang Miao only wanted to bring 15,000 troops, less than one-third of his total troops. Fortunately, after seeing his and Ma Chao's troops in the end, he added 5,000 more. Cao Cao was sad. If all the officials of the Han Dynasty were like this, then what else would he talk about to attack Dong Zhuo?

But he forgot that as the governor of Liangzhou, Ma Chao only brought 20,000 people there. You should know that the Liangzhou army has more than 20,000 people. Besides, Ma Chao and his troops that Cao Cao didn't know. Now Ma Chao has more than 100,000 troops, but he has only brought one-fifth.
