Chenliu, among the barren mountains, Cao's army camp.

Xiahou Yuan frowned and whispered: "Zixiu, we can't wait here anymore. There are now 700 strong young men in the camp, and they consume a lot of money just by eating. At first we came here, one to train our men, and the other to escort goods. But why are we stupid here now? If we stay, we will expose our whereabouts. At that time, just explaining to the officials of Chenliu State is also a big problem!"

Cao Ang sighed. In fact, people have been reporting this issue to him these days, but he cannot say that he has known before he knows that Cao Cao will raise an army here to attack Dong Zhuo.

Just as Cao Ang was trying his best to find excuses, Xiao Yi suddenly ran in and couldn't help crying and said, "Young master, the lord was killed by Dong Zhuo!"

"What?" Cao Ang and Xiahou Yuan's expression changed and they all jumped up. Cao Ang grabbed Xiao Yi's neck and said angrily: "What are you talking about? How could your father be killed by Dong Zhuo?!"

Xiahou Yuan also stared at Xiao Yi and yelled angrily: "Xiao Yi, shaking the morale of the army is a death sentence. If you spread rumors randomly, I will kill you!"

Xiao Yi rushed into Cao Ang's camp with a grief, and then shed tears. In just a moment, his face was covered with tears and snot. He took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Cao Ang tremblingly, and started crying.

Cao Ang only felt weak, how could it be?! The history book clearly wrote that Cao Cao would escape from Luoyang successfully and launch the princes to attack Dong Zhuo, and then fight south and north to divide the world. How could he die at Dong Zhuo's hands now? This is unscientific! However, since he could travel to this ancient time, Cao Cao could also die when he was young, and everything was possible!

Cao Ang felt that his arms were like a fillet of lead, and he could not lift them up at all, and he could not take the paper. Xiahou Yuan on one side snatched the paper, his eyes wide open, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be cracked by him! The paper read:... At the end of November, the traitor Cao Cao assassinated the prime minister, Gong Dong, and after the conspiracy was exposed, he was killed by Lu Fengxian... He specially sent a message to the world to warn future generations...

Xiahou Yuan let go of his hand weakly, and the piece of paper floated to the ground.

Looking at Xiahou Yuan's expression, Cao Ang knew that the paper was definitely written on it, not to mention that the paper was stamped with a seal from the government at the end! It was possible to publish messages with relatively expensive paper and stamped with a seal from the government, so this news must be true!

Cao Ang's muscles seemed to have been pulled away by someone, and there was no strength in his bones! He fell to the ground, not knowing what he should do. It had been more than a year since he traveled to ancient times. Although he had been with Cao Cao for a short time, the father and son had a true relationship. Cao Ang also superimposed the figure of his later father with Cao Cao, and sincerely regarded Cao Cao as his father!

I can't forget that my father explained military books to him under the oil lamp, meticulous and patient; I can't forget that when I had a cold and a fever, my father stayed by my side and kept changing the sweat scarf on my forehead; I can't forget that a wild wolf suddenly jumped out while hunting, and my father, with bare hands, blocked his chest desperately! I can't forget...

Tears kept pouring out from Cao Ang's eyes, but he didn't dare to cry loudly like Xiao Yi. After all, he was the commander of the first army, how could he let his soldiers hear his out of control crying?!

Cao Ang bit his lips with all his strength. Tears, snot and blood in his mouth were mixed together, and it flowed down the corner of his mouth. He was like a little wolf who had lost his protection, trying to wail but did not dare to expose himself. He could only be sad in the dark night, and his heartache was extremely painful!

Xiahou Yuan felt very distressed when he saw it. He wiped his tears and rushed up, hugged Cao Ang in his arms, and whispered: "Zi Xiu, Master knows you are uncomfortable. Just cry, no one will laugh at you!"

Cao Ang just stuffed his hand into his mouth and bit it hard without saying a word.

Xiahou Yuan patted Cao Ang’s back and whispered: “Your father and I, although not biological brothers, have a good relationship with each other! I am also very sad when he passed away. I understand your mood, but Ang'er, you can’t fall down too sad now. Now that your father has gone, the burden of revitalizing the Cao family is on your shoulders. Your aunt (Bian) gave birth to a younger brother Cao Pi some time ago. Now the whole family is counting on you, you can’t fall down…”

Xiao Yi also rushed up, wiped the tears from his eyes, and whispered: "Young Master, just cry. After I went out, I said I was crying, no one knew!"

Cao Ang didn't say anything, just looked at the tent, his eyes were dull and dull!

When Xiahou Yuan saw that it was not a problem, he let go of Cao Ang, stared at his eyes, and said angrily: "Last year, he rode alone to retreat to the enemy, and wrote poems in seven steps, but he actually only had such a little tolerance. It really disappointed me! Cao Zixiu, if you still act like a daughter like this, you are not worthy of being my disciple, and you are not worthy of your father's expectations!"

Maybe it was because he said this, Cao Ang suddenly woke up from an earthquake; maybe it was because of the extreme sadness, but he became a little awake. In short, Cao Ang looked straight at Xiahou Yuan and said loudly: "Master, I want to take revenge!"

"Okay!" Xiahou Yuan praised loudly, "That's right! There are some heroes in the world, and I am familiar with the masters of several of them. As long as I am willing to pay the money, I will definitely hire a top killer. As long as we work hard, we may be able to kill Lu Bu! Then, I will also take action by myself and will never let him have a good time!"

Cao Ang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lu Bu is just Dong Zhuo's thug. Without Dong Zhuo's orders, how dare he murder my father?! Moreover, my father was originally an assassination of Dong Zhuo for all living beings in the world and for the Han Dynasty. As his son, I will definitely fulfill his wish!"

"You want to assassinate Dong Zhuo?" Xiahou Yuan asked in surprise, then slapped his thighs: "It's worthy of being my apprentice, with courage! Although Dong Zhuo is the prime minister, as long as we make up our minds, I don't believe that he will defend all of them in twelve hours! Not to mention anything else, we can always pick out twenty good players from the 700 people in our camp! The master will lead them to Luoyang and fight to the death to fulfill your wishes!"

Cao Ang bowed to Xiahou Yuan with gratitude, but shook his head. Then Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "Master, I don't want to assassinate Dong Zhuo, I want to kill Dong Zhuo openly!"

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked. Even Xiahou Yuan could not help but touch Cao Ang's head to see if his disciples were overly sad and fevered, and then he said nonsense. Who is Dong Zhuo? He is the prime minister and the most powerful person in the court now. What qualifications do you have to say this?!

Cao Ang said in a deep voice: "Master, don't worry, I'm not talking nonsense. Although Dong Zhuo is ranked high in prime minister, his rule is not unbreakable. During this period, based on the letters he had communicated with his grandfather and father and his judgment on the court, I can assert that Dong Zhuo is now dominating the beach. As long as the flood comes, the power structure he built will collapse!

First, Dong Zhuo only rewarded his subordinates with wealth and goods, but did not grant them high-ranking officials. On the one hand, it was because Dong Zhuo's subordinates were not qualified enough, and on the other hand, it was because Dong Zhuo was afraid of the Xiliang officers and soldiers under his command, fearing that someone would pose a threat to his status after he gained power! Therefore, if Dong Zhuo was at a disadvantage, his subordinates would be happy to obey his orders; if Dong Zhuo was at a disadvantage, his subordinates would not be as loyal as he expected!

Second, Dong Zhuo promoted all the party members to county magistrates in various places. Although he improved his reputation to a certain extent, he lost the foundation for rule in various places. These party members have a reputation of loyalty, and often have the support of aristocratic families behind them, so it is easy to pacify all places and control the regime. At this time, how could they succumb to a reckless man in Xiliang? It is even more impossible to obey orders willingly! I dare say that as long as we raise the flag of uprising, all places will definitely respond! You must know that Jingnan is the easiest to be promoted and wealthy and make contributions!

Third, Dong Zhuo's manipulation of the emperor's destruction and establishment has exceeded his duty as a minister. In addition, he now leads the prime minister, which is very suspicious of usurping the Han Dynasty. In addition, there are rumors that he stays in a dragon bed at night and oppresses the emperor. Who would ignore the scholars? The Han Dynasty has been extended for more than 400 years, and the bloodline of the Han Dynasty has ruled the world by the world. How could a single Dong Zhuo be easily shaken? Seeing Dong Zhuo usurping power, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others would give up?!

Fourth, in the years of rebellion in Xiliang, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu have consumed the court's background there. The long-term anti-rebellion war has also exhausted all kinds of resources from the court. The court can only grit its teeth and continue to invest in the northwest region, but can't see any reward. Although Dong Zhuo has controlled the regime, he has also been burdened with a heavy burden! Although Luoyang is the imperial capital, food and supplies are basically transported through Guandong. Once our rebel army is launched, we can cut off the supply in Luoyang. I can assert that the resources that Dong Zhuo can use are really limited. With the original inventory of the government, Dong Zhuo can't hold on for a few days at all! At that time, if he wants to maintain the army, he has to plunder the people. In this way, the people will have no hearts and the troops will be even more disciplined. Even an elite army will become a match for the rebel army. How could it be the opponent of the rebel army?!

With these four points, Dong Zhuo will be defeated, and I will be able to avenge my revenge!"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the disciple in front of him in surprise. Although he knew that his disciple was smart and courageous, he did not expect that he had such a clear understanding of the world's general trend. It was really rare! Not to mention others, Xiahou Yuan himself did not realize these aspects. He could say that Cao Ang's words gave him a huge shock!

Xiahou Yuan was convinced by Cao Ang’s words, and he couldn’t help but bow and ask, “Then how can we raise the rebel army? We only have seven hundred people now!”

Cao Ang only said two names, "Weizi, Qiao Mao!"

Just these four words solved Xiahou Yuan’s question!
