Chapter 347 Coldness of human nature

"Ma Teng, the governor of Jincheng, has opposed Dong Zhuo, and Chang'an is very close to Liangzhou. Once the righteous teacher disperses, Dong Zhuo's first revenge must be Ma Teng. Therefore, Ma Teng will not let the righteous teacher disband and stay to support the lord. And Changsha Taishou, Sun Jian is brave. If there is no accident, he will also stay. In addition, Zhang Yang, the governor of Pingyang, and Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, are all loyal and righteous people. As long as the Lord has some words, he should be able to keep them. As for the Hedongwen champion, he has made a choice for a long time.

And the main thing the master strives for is Tao Qian, Liu Dai and Kong Yu. After all, the alliance was formed by the three of them as witnesses. If the righteous teacher separated unhappily, they would not be able to hang their faces. In these three days, the lord seized the time to know the righteousness and reason with them, and tried to keep these three people. The combined strength of these three people is 40,000. As long as they are still in this righteous teacher for a day, the righteous teacher will not disperse!

As for other princes, I'm afraid that Yuan Benchu proposed to leave the righteous teacher three days later, and they will follow suit one after another. After all, these princes pay more attention to their own interests than the great righteousness. This is human nature, which is difficult to change.

"In this way, in the end, there are only nine princes left. Humph, is it human nature?

After Cao Cao opened his eyes again, the troubles in his eyes were swept away, and the fierce light was covered again.

"It's going to rain and I'm going to get married. They want to leave. Cao can't force it. In this case, these uneasy people leave the righteous teacher, which is not a bad thing. After they left, the remaining nine princes were all loyal and righteous heroes. They were united and had the determination to kill Dong Gou. Cao will also command it, which will condense into a sharper edge.

"The master is open-minded, so he can see farther and more clearly. That's it. It's beneficial for these people to leave without any harm!"

Xun Yu smiled unconsciously. Cao Cao's grandeur and open-mindedness made him really admire him and secretly said that it was a wise move to choose to assist Cao Cao at the beginning, which can be said to be the most correct choice he made in his life.

In the next three days, Cao Cao chose to walk among the princes. Sun Jian, Ma Teng, Zhang Yang, Kong Rong and others agreed and affirmed that they would continue to stay in the righteous master until Dong Gou was killed. After that, Cao Cao took Sun Jian, Ma Teng, Zhang Yang and Kong Rong to lobby between Tao Qian, Liu Dai and Kong Yu.

Although Tao, Liu and Kong have more or less intention to leave, they have been hesitant for fear of losing their anger and face. After the lobbying of Cao Cao and others, Tao, Liu and Kong finally decided to stay in the righteous.

Three days later, in the hall of the old prime minister's government.

Cao Cao, the leader of the righteous division, sat on the main seat. In addition to Yuan Shao, the deputy leader, all the other princes had arrived. In this regard, the princes looked at each other and exchanged with their eyes. Yuan Shao was deliberately late. Isn't he obviously hitting the face of Cao Cao, the general leader?

After Tao Qian, Liu Dai and Kong Yu looked at each other, they all sighed.

"Is it true that, as Cao Mengde said, Yuan Benchu really ignored justice!"

Tao Qian frowned and said silently in his heart.

Cao Cao sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he looked restless. He didn't say a word and closed his eyes to refresh his mind.

After about a long time, Yuan Shao's figure finally appeared slowly. Yuan Shao walked into the council hall with Wen Chou and Yanliang.

Yuan Shao looked around with a calm face. When he saw Cao Cao sitting in the main seat, his face suddenly changed. This should have belonged to him, but now another person has occupied it!

"Haha, deputy leader. The matter of the death of the director is related to the society of the whole world. For such a big event, you are late, but are you in good health?

Yuan Shaogang wanted to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Cao Cao's speech first. After hearing this, Yuan Shao's face suddenly became ugly. Did Cao Mengde know that he intended to leave?

Yuan Shao couldn't help but tighten his fist. In this case, he didn't have to beat around the bush.

"Shao is really ashamed. The continuous battle with Dong Gou's army has exhausted his energy. A few days ago, I had no choice but to be infected with the wind chill, which caused Shao's old stubborn disease. Now I'm afraid it's difficult to go through fire and water as a righteous teacher.

Shao came here today to resign from the general alliance leader. When Shao cures his stubborn disease, he must immediately send troops to Chang'an and continue to kill Dong Daye with the righteous army!"

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, it immediately caused chaos in the hall. Many princes who had already intended to leave were even more determined to leave.

Runan Taishou Yuan Shu, with his eyes slipped, stood up from his seat and bowed to Cao.

"The general leader, I have no choice but to forgive you. Recently, there has been an urgent report from Runan that the Gepi yellow scarf thief who is stationed in Nanyang has invaded the territory of Runan for days. Runan was in critical condition, and Shu had to lead his own soldiers back to rescue.

Yuan Shu seemed to be afraid that the world would not be chaotic, but after Yuan Shao, he also proposed to leave. Following Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, seven princes, including Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Yuan Yu, the governor of Shanyang, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Wang Kuang, the governor of Rongyang, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, and Sun Zan, the governor of Beiping, also used various reasons and words to express their requests that they had to leave.

Cao Cao has been silent, watching these princes write and direct their own plays coldly until no one asks to leave.

"Today, Dong thief went to the west, and he could take advantage of the situation to pursue, break through Chang'an, and save the emperor. But at this time, if the public wants to leave, is it possible to abandon loyalty and ignore it?

Tao Qian stood up straight, squinted his eyes, exuded great righteousness all over his body, and asked Yuan Shao and others powerfully.

"Tao Gong's words are bad. We are all Han ministers, so there is no reason to abandon loyalty. It's just that I really have strength but not enough strength. As long as we wait for us to rest for a while and relieve our own worries, we will definitely continue to go up the mountain and the sea of fire for the Han Dynasty!"

Yuan Shao seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and immediately had a statement to justify himself, and other princes who wanted to leave also agreed.

"The deputy leader's words are reasonable. Wuyuan Highway was entrusted by the emperor to govern the land of one side. How can we watch the thieves spread and ignore it?

Yuan Shu had a cold face and a natural attitude.

"Well, everything should be priorited. The emperor is now held hostage by Dong Gou. Dong Gou is cruel and may kill the saint at any time. The Han Dynasty is in danger, but the Ruyuan Highway only cares about the place of bullets. It is obviously selfish!"

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, stood up and pointed to Yuan Shu and scolded. Yuan Shu's face suddenly became gloomy and snorted coldly, but he couldn't resist rebutting.

"Hmm, high-sounding hypocrite. Do you say I'm selfish? Who here is not selfish!?"

Yuan Shu snorted coldly in his heart, took a step back and shut up.

"Don't be angry with Liu Yanzhou, please listen to me. We have previously received the order of Dong Jiao from the head of the general alliance. Without hesitation, we just came to rectate the troops. On the way, we fought with the Dong dog thief army. Who didn't suffer heavy losses? Thousands of Erlang in Beiping have died, and the rest are tired and difficult to fight again. I believe that under the command of the princes, there is also the same situation as my Beiping Erlang. We are not abandoning loyalty and righteousness, but hoping to rest for a while, wait for the soldiers to recover their energy, and fight again.

Gongsun Zan was calm and ignored the accusations of Tao Qian and others. He explained calmly.

"Enough. Don't take it for granted! Although the soldiers and horses of the righteous division were tired, the Donggou thief army was forced to leave Chang'an by the righteous division, and their situation will only be worse! If you insist on leaving this time, even if you have tens of millions of reasons, you can't hide your selfishness!"

Kong Yu, the assassin of Yuzhou, was furious. He blew his beard and pointed to Yuan Shao and others and scolded. The nine-way princes who wanted to leave, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan, were all cold-faced and seemed to be determined to leave the righteous teacher.

Suddenly, in the council hall, there was a strange atmosphere of silence and full of anger. At this time, Cao Cao, as the leader of the general alliance, finally spoke.

"Dong thieves harmed the world, robbed the emperor, and shook the sea. This is the time when the sky died. As long as the princes work together to attack Chang'an, the world will be settled in a battle. Why don't you move forward?"

I began to promote great righteousness and eliminate thieves for the country. The princes came with righteousness, and Cao admired him in his heart. At this time, the champion of Hedongwen took the risk of nine deaths and a lifetime to win the Tongguan Pass. As soon as we pass the Tongguan Pass, we can directly beat the yellow dragon and kill the Dong thief. Unexpectedly, at this time, you wanted to leave. Although Cao was sad, he did not dare to resist.

Please also ask the public to leave some food and fodder for financial support, and let the righteous masters continue to fight for the great righteousness and successfully destroy Dong Gou. It won't make us lose the vows we made when we first established the alliance.

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, many of these princes who wanted to leave couldn't help but think of the scene of burning incense and swearing when the alliance was founded.

"Fight for justice and life, do not hesitate to live and die! With this alliance of Chongqing, it will kill you, and the ghosts and gods will be angry!"

This oath seems to be still echoing in their ears.

"Well, that's all. In this way, Wudong County will exert a little effort for the righteous teacher and leave thousands of stones of grain and grass to help the righteous teacher.

"Wu Jizhou is also willing to produce thousands of stones of grain and grass."

"Shanyang (Rongyang) is willing to produce 500 stones of grain and grass!!"

"Guangling..."

Cao Cao's words seemed to have awakened the conscience of many people. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Yuan Yu, the governor of Shanyang, Wang Kuang, the governor of Rongyang, Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Sun Zan, the governor of Beiping, and others said the amount of grain and fodder they were willing to fund.

Finally, everyone's eyes focused on the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

"Cao Mengde, a sinister villain, finally wants to make a big profit! Besides, I have to cut the meat!"

Yuan Shao almost gritted his teeth and stared at Cao Cao Cao, and finally reluctantly left a thousand stones of grain and grass. As for Yuan Shu, he was the most direct, saying that he was in danger in Runan. It was the time when he used grain and grass, but he wanted to open his mouth to borrow some grain and grass from the righteous teacher.

For Yuan Shu's shamelessness, Cao Cao seemed generous and sent 500 stones of grain and fodder to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was complacent and turned a blind eye to the contemptuous eyes around him.

Left food and fodder, which reduced the guilt of these princes who wanted to leave a lot. After that, they stopped talking nonsense with Cao and left one after another. Tao Qian, who ruled the grain and fodder under Cao Cao's jurisdiction, left with them and collected the grain and fodder they promised to fund. Tao Qian saw that these people had a little conscience in the end, and his face was much better, so he left with them.

Everyone who should go has left. At this time, there are only a few people left, which is a little cool.

Cao Cao took a breath and calmed down. He had expected what happened today, and he had made the most appropriate treatment. He understood that although these people were selfish, they were more or less worried about their own face, so Cao Cao took advantage of this and let these people leave a lot of food and fodder in the end.

Grain and grass is the lifeblood of the army, and it is close to the war that has lasted for several months. Nearly half of the righteous teacher's grain and fodder have been used, and Cao Cao is also very worried about this. Now, after the nine-way princes, the number of righteous teachers has been halved, and these princes have left a lot of grain and fodder, which can be said to solve the short-term problem of grain and fodder.

"All the justices, Cao is here to thank the princes for the people of the world!"

Cao Cao stood up and gave a deep salute. The rest of the princes quickly returned the salute one after another, saying that this was their due matter.

"Okay. Although a lot of people have left, the matter of the death of the director should not be delayed. Next, we need to continue to fight for justice. Dong thief has now moved to Chang'an. Chang'an is very close to Liangzhou. Once he is transferred from Liangzhou, then our righteous teacher and Dong thief will be even more difficult. I don't know what the public has to do with this?"

As Cao Cao said, he looked at Ma Teng, the governor of Jincheng. Ma Teng seemed to notice Cao Cao's eyes and looked at Cao Cao. Cao Cao smiled at Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's face was stunned. After meditating for a while, he seemed to vaguely guess what Cao Cao meant, but he was not sure.

"Master of the League, what can I do for you? My horse Shoucheng will definitely do it!"
