Chapter 42 Everyone has their own thoughts

Sikong Yuan Fengfu Mansion.

After receiving the military order from Ma Chao to summon him to discuss matters, Yuan Shao couldn't help but frown. After a while, he said, "Come on, find me the school to see if they have received the same order."

The Yuan family's generals naturally understood what Yuan Shao meant, because except for the eunuch Qian Shuo, the other seven people in the Eight Schools in Xiyuan were all guests of the Yuan family. Therefore, Yuan Shao, the Central Military Academy, was also the leader of these seven people in the eyes of outsiders.

It was the time when the lights were first on. After Yuan Shao ordered his generals to go, he came to the lobby and asked his father Yuan Feng for instructions.

"Brother, I advise you not to go. As soon as Ma Chao entered the city in the morning, I sent someone to inquire. It turned out that he was the son of Ma Teng, the new governor of Liangzhou. He was afraid that he had bad intentions when he entered Beijing this time. Just look at him in front of him and killing General Dong Zhuo in order to establish his authority, you can see that this person must be an ambitious guy." As soon as Yuan Shao had just told his father Yuan Feng about Ma Chao's summoning, his younger brother Yuan Shu jumped out and analyzed coldly.

Yuan Shu, whose courtesy name is Gaolu, was Yuan Shao's younger brother. These two brothers, relying on the family background of the four generations and three masters and their own talents, can be said to be a stolen figure in Luoyang City.

"Originally, your brother's words are not without reason. Now the situation in the court is chaotic, and the city of Luoyang is a sudden change. My father is nearly 60 years old and has no ambitions. However, you and your brother must not stay in the city for a long time. You can take the opportunity to escape from the city and find another way out. This is the best strategy." Yuan Feng, as the Three Duke, usually looks old, but when he speaks, he is full of energy and every sentence is hidden.

Yuan Shao had no intention of being summoned. After hearing his father's words, he made up his mind and said, "Father is very convinced that the child has summoned various schools to come to the house to discuss matters. After the agreement is made, the child will take the troops from the headquarters and take the opportunity to leave the city."

Yuan Cun heard this and said happily: "My son has this plan, and my family has hope!"

After receiving Ma Chao's convening order, the captains of the Xiyuan Garden did not set off, but after receiving the news from Yuan Shao, they immediately rushed to Sikong Mansion.

In the side hall of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao waited for everyone to come to the audience and the guest and hosted guests and said, "I invite you brothers here today. It is just because Shaogang received the convening order from the Shangjun Academy's Office, so I specially invited everyone to discuss whether we should go and discuss?"

"Then Ma Chao is a kid who emerged there. Why did he ask us to discuss matters? We are going to go? I'm too lazy to leave him." The right-level captain Chunyu Qiong has always had an urgent temper and has no good attitude towards Ma Chao, the rookie.

"That's right, what's the matter with Ma Chao? Why did I take up the position of military captain? I, Zhao Rong, are the first to dissatisfied." Zhao Rong, the left-level captain of the assisting army, also started to yell.

The other people also agreed. It was obvious that Ma Chao took over the position of military lieutenant, and for the children of the large clans in Luoyang, there was no slight appeal.

"Meng De, why didn't you say a word?" Yuan Shao felt very calm when he saw that everyone was not going, so he met Cao Cao but said nothing and asked.

Cao Cao was wearing a robe, a sword on his waist, a crown on his head, a broad face and long beard, thick eyebrows and thin eyes. Although he didn't look amazing, there was a majesty between his eyebrows that ordinary people did not have.

"Brother Benchu, Dong Zhuo's army is stationed outside the city. Looking at his posture this morning, he is actually a tiger and wolf. If it weren't for Ma Chao's general this morning, he would have killed General Dong Zhuo to shock him. Dong Zhuo's army would have entered the city at this time. Therefore, Cao thought that we should join forces with the camps to defend Dong Zhuo together, rather than discussing here, who will be the lieutenant of this military officer." Cao Cao didn't want to speak, but when he met Yuan Shao, he asked, stood up and told his own opinions.

Cao Cao was obviously loyal to the court at this moment, and his words were even more heartfelt, but obviously his words did not work at all. Yuan Shao immediately laughed and said, "Meng De's words are wrong. Since you can see that Dong Zhuo is ambitious, don't you see that Ma Chao is also ambitious? The eight camps in the West Garden, each battalion of 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the two thousand baggage soldiers left at the camp, a total of 26,000 people, and the three thousand imperial guards in the palace, as well as the five thousand soldiers and horses at the East Gate, and the five thousand soldiers and horses at the West Gate, totaling more than 40,000 soldiers and horses. If these forces are all involved in Ma Chao's hands, there is still a place for us in Luoyang City?"

"What I said at the beginning is that you must not hand over all the soldiers and horses in the city to Ma Chao." Chunyu Qiong is Yuan Shao's confidant and has always been under the power of the Yuan family. Naturally, he would not have any closeness to outsiders like Ma Chao. He would not be surprised if he loyally supported Yuan Shao.

As for the others, although they are not necessarily Yuan Shao's confidants, as a clan in Luoyang, they obviously don't have any good feelings for Ma Chao, an outsider, let alone let them serve as Ma Chao's subordinates. When Yuan Shao finished speaking, he naturally expressed his support for Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao actually didn't know what he was thinking. When he met them, he had decided to meet them. He knew that he could not persuade them, so he had to say, "Since that's the case, then the soldiers and horses of each battalion will be commanded by themselves. If you don't hand them over for the time being, say goodbye!"

After Cao Cao left, Feng Fang and Xia Mou also said goodbye. After they left, Yuan Shao immediately made his preparations to leave Luoyang and made hints to his confidants Chunyu Qiong, Bao Hong and Zhao Rong. The three of them had always been convinced by Yuan Shao and immediately expressed their willingness to advance and retreat together.

After Yuan Shao received the support of the three of them, he was overjoyed and ordered them to prepare overnight. Just as he saw the three of them away, Bao Xin, a captain of the army, came to visit him.

After the two sides sat down, Bao Xin urgently went straight to the topic and said: "At the beginning, Dong Zhuo's army was stationed outside the city, which was a great threat to Luoyang. Now you are in Luoyang City, and now you are the most prestigious. If you are willing to call the high school, the three armies will definitely obey the orders. The subordinates of a certain rear army will be under 5,000 troops and horses, waiting for your order at any time, and I hope you will come out to take charge of the overall situation."

Yuan Shao had made up his mind. No matter how Ren Bao Xin said, he would not change his mind. He immediately said perfunctorily: "The public's words are too exaggerated. Now the court has made new decisions, so it is better to avoid the war in the future. You go back first and let me think about it."

Bao Xin had just gone to see Wang Yun, but was refused. The same was true for meeting Yuan Shao. He had to sigh to the sky and knew that things were not to be violated. He immediately returned to the camp of the Houjun Academy, disbanded the troops in the camp, led hundreds of personal soldiers from the headquarters to leave Luoyang overnight and headed to Shandong.

That night, Yuan Shu, who served as the rank of the tiger general, also led two thousand soldiers and horses from the former military camp, opened the east gate and headed towards Nanyang. The rest of the soldiers and horses were disbanded by him.

The two battalions of troops in Luoyang City, with a total of 10,000 troops, collapsed in this way.

Ma Chao was waiting for the military lieutenant's mansion for the middle of the night, but he did not see anyone coming. He couldn't help but feel angry and slapped the table and said, "Take our military orders and pass them on to each school again. If you don't accept the orders, you will take them all."

"Sir, you just came to Luoyang and don't know what those aristocratic families are thinking." The old clerk Guo An seemed not surprised by this scene. When he heard Ma Chao get angry, he shook his head and sighed.

Ma Chao frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Guo, do you mean that the schools are deliberately neglecting me because of their family background?"

"Sir, this is true. Nowadays, Luoyang City emphasizes family background. Even the emperor respects the Yuan family as the nobles of the four generations and three masters, even the emperor respects them three times. Just imagine that with the Yuan family, how could Master Yuan accept the military orders of you, an alien general? I can meet him if he doesn't come. If he comes, he will be abnormal." Although Guo An is old, his decades of career as a minor official also gave him a clear understanding of the current world officialdom.

After hearing Guo An's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart and thought to himself: So that's the case. It seems that it's like the chaos today. Although the emperor is stupid, the ministers and ministers in the court must be responsible. Those so-called family members are thinking about their own honors all day long, and they are not so concerned about national affairs. It seems that if the world is stable, if these disadvantages are not eliminated, the world will be difficult to settle.

Ma Chao thought in his heart that when he just decided to force the military order, there was a sound of shouting and killing, and the galloping sound of war horses, and it was obvious that a military horse had entered the city.

"No, Dong Zhuo's troops have entered the city." Ma Chao shouted loudly, knowing that all the efforts he made in the city would be wasted at the moment when Dong Zhuo's troops entered the city.

Ma Chao also saw clearly in his heart that the great man could no longer revive. If he wanted the world to be stable, he had to rebuild a new world through the tempering of blood and fire, and he would also strive for this goal in his life.
