  Also, thank you to my friend "Hua Kai, Yi Xing Chen" for casting 15 update tickets, but... the pressure of 12,000 words is too great, I can't bear it, so I'll just say sorry.

  The war is coming, and it's time to defeat Dong. This period of history should be quite familiar to everyone, but... I will write a story that is completely different from history. Don't worry, I've never copied from history books for you all to read.

  Today I'm a bit depressed, I wrote a chapter but no matter how I look at it, I'm not satisfied! Had to delete it, and as a result, the previous draft is also unsatisfactory, deleted and deleted, 10,000 words of draft were deleted, I'm crying! Perfectionism is killing me! Is there anyone, is there anyone?!

  After several days of marching, the army finally arrived at Chenliu.

  Only in front of a large military camp surrounded Chen Liu, layer upon layer, countless, covering the sky and sun, making the visible place, all black and oppressive, do not know how many troops.

  Gongsun Zan said in a low voice: "It seems that the eighteen vassals have arrived, and we might be the last to arrive."

  Sun Yu nodded and said: "It's understandable, our Gong Sun family is too far north, of course they can't get here as quickly as these vassals, they are all located in the Central Plains."

  NM01 flew high into the air, took an aerial view of the barracks near Chenliu, and then flew back to report: "Master, there are at least 400,000 troops here. Since many soldiers were in their tents, I couldn't count the exact number."

  Sun Yu shrugged and said, "No need to count, someone will tally it up later. I think... Yuan Shao should enjoy doing this kind of thing."

  Gongsun Zan left the main army outside the city and had his soldiers protect Zhao Yun and Zhang Bai. Then, he and Sun Yu brought a dozen guards with them and slowly made their way to Chenliu.

  Mi Mi Yan Cao Cao had already received the news and personally welcomed her to the front of the army. She was still wearing a golden armor that dazzled the crowd, with a colorful brocade undergarment inside. Standing in front of the two armies, she shone brightly, dazzling everyone's eyes. Although she was still resentful about Gong Sun Zan stealing her thunder, it didn't show on her face at all. She smiled and said: "General White Horse has arrived just in time! With your arrival, our anti-Dong alliance army is now complete. Please come in!"

  Having finished speaking, Cao Cao glanced at Sun Yu beside Gongsun Zan and smiled: "General Sun has also arrived? Ha ha, very good."

  What the heck, Sun Yu thought to himself: thinking of Cao Cao's cunning and treachery in my world makes me feel chilly, seeing your beady eyes makes my heart turn cold.

  Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao walked shoulder to shoulder towards the city.

  Cao Cao smiled and asked, "General Gongsun, your wanted poster this time is really well-written!" She thought to herself, it's surprisingly identical to the one I wrote. If I don't get to the bottom of this, I won't be able to sleep tonight.

  But then Gong Sun Zhan's face turned red as she said, "Actually, it wasn't me who wrote it, it was my... Xun Zhen who did." She pointed at Sun Yu with her hand and said softly, "My Xun Zhen is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, writing a letter of rebuke would be child's play for him."

  Sweat, soft girl, this time you've praised the wrong person! Sun Yu's heart is sweating profusely, thinking to himself: That article was directly plagiarized from Cao Cao's article by NM01, and you're praising me as if I'm Cao Cao in front of the whole world... Isn't this just like praising a pirated version in front of the original author? This... this really makes me sweat.

  Cao Cao listened to Gongsun Zan's words, and his pair of charming eyes fell on Sun Yu, saying in a flattering tone: "Oh, it was written by Master Xunzhen! Master is indeed a great talent!" In her heart, she secretly scolded: "The opportunity for me to show off has been snatched away by this man. I'm so angry, you disgusting man, I'll make sure you pay for this."

  Sun Yu let out a bitter laugh, "I'm done for. The original author has discovered that I've plagiarized this post. Where can I hide my face now?" He hastily said to Cao Cao, "General Cao, don't flatter me. My level of writing is far inferior to yours."

  Cao Cao snorted inwardly, thinking to himself: This guy's writing style is identical to mine, yet he says it's not as good as mine? How pretentious! This bastard, I'll definitely toy with him. How should I do it? Let him fall in love with me, then dump him, or just ignore him and keep him hanging... Hmm, this plan isn't bad!

  Cao's eyes narrowed into a thin line, her city was very deep, although she was thinking about how to deal with people in her heart, but her face smiled as harmoniously as the spring breeze. Gong Sun was completely deceived by her, only Sun Yu because of his vigilance against Cao Cao in his own world, so he had a guard against Mimi's eyes.

  Three people walked into Chenliu City, and saw that Chenliu City was very bustling and prosperous. The streets were lined with shops on both sides, and the vendors and travelers were as numerous as the hairs on an ox's hide. Everyone's face had a rosy glow, obviously they were living well. Various vegetables, fruits, and meats were being hawked and sold on both sides of the street, with carriages and horses coming and going in a continuous stream.

  What a prosperous city, Sun Yu sighed in his heart: Chenliu is indeed Cao Cao's old nest, and it's really well-governed. In my world, people call Cao Cao the able minister of a peaceful era and the treacherous hero of a chaotic era. It seems that in this world, Cao Cao can also be called an able minister of a peaceful era.

  Sun Yu raised his head and saw two huge green characters "Anmin" floating in the sky above Chen Liu, apparently some literati general was using a martial technique to envelop the city. How interesting!

  Cao Cao noticed Sun Yu's movement and pointed to the "Anmin" in the sky, laughing: "That is a martial art of Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu. She is both my superior and good friend."

  NM01 quickly reported on Sun Yu: "Zhang Miao, one of the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, was the governor of Chenliu. Because Cao Cao was appointed as the governor of Yan Province, Zhang Miao belonged to Cao Cao's subordinate. He was an upright person who was generous and righteous, and had a close relationship with both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao."

  After walking a few more steps, another row of green floated in the sky. Sun Yu looked closely and saw that it was "Xing Shang", which is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning. This is a civil skill that improves business prosperity. Cao Cao really attaches importance to civil administration, and all the civil skills are released together by several people.

  Cao Cao pointed at "Xing Shang" and laughed: "This is the martial arts of Wei Hong, a wealthy merchant in this area. She was the one who funded my rebellion."

  Three men walked into the Chenliu command center, where a huge military tent had been set up. Inside the tent were two rows of desks, behind which sat many people, with their subordinate generals standing behind them, packing the entire tent to capacity.

  Cao Cao led Gongsun Zan in and loudly announced: "Gongsun Zan, the Governor of Ping Province in the north, leads an army of 15,000 to join the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance!"

  The person in the account heard this and immediately stood up and saluted, and also reported his identity.

  Eighteen vassals came, including:

  The first town: After General Hou will be Nan Yang Taishou Yuan Shu.

  Second-in-command: Governor of Ji Province, Han Fu.

  Third town: Yu Zhou governor Kong Yi.

  The fourth town: Liu Dai, Governor of Yanzhou.

  The fifth town: Wang Kuang, Governor of Hanoi Prefecture.

  The sixth town: Chenliu Taishou Zhang Miao.

  The Seventh Town: Dongjun Taishou Qiao Yan.

  The eighth town: Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi.

  The ninth town: Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.

  The Tenth Town: Bei Hai Governor Kong Rong.

  The eleventh town: Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao.

  The twelfth town: Xu Zhou governor Tao Qian.

  Thirteenth town: Xi Liang Governor Ma Teng.

  The fourteenth town: Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang.

  The Fifteenth Town: Wu Cheng Hou Changsha Governor Sun Jian.

  The Sixteenth Town: Qixiang Marquis Bohai Governor Yuan Shao.

  In addition:

  The Seventeenth Town: Gongsun Zan, Governor of Ping Province.

  The Eighteenth Town: Cao Cao, Marquis of Yan.

  Gongsun Zan finished the ceremony, and these vassals brought 30,000 troops, some brought 50,000 troops, the most was Yuan Shao from Hebei, with an army of 100,000, which was very powerful. Gongsun Zan had only 15,000 people, which was a very weak vassal, so he sat at the lower seat with Sun Yu.

  Only the first seat was occupied by a middle-aged woman, about forty-five or six years old, wearing golden armor and a blue cloak, with an impressive air. Sun Yu thought to himself, this must be Yuan Shao, I thought she would be a beautiful young girl, but it turned out to be a middle-aged woman, cough.

  Yuan Shao spoke up, "Now that the last of the vassals, General Gongsun, has arrived, we should discuss our strategy for advancing."

  Sun Yu thought, at this time, there should be someone who would come out and recommend Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance.

  Just thinking of this, a middle-aged woman suddenly jumped out in front, who was Wang Kuang, the governor of Hebei Province. She said loudly: "Now we must establish an alliance leader. Everyone will follow the orders of the alliance leader and can be unified command."

  Cut, as expected, it's this unhelpful suggestion, Sun Yu had a burst of discontent in his heart.

  At this time, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side, turned his eyes and thought: If we talk about strength, among those present, Yuan Shao is naturally the first, I'd better go with the flow and recommend Yuan Shao. Then I can show off a bit! The recommendation should be said in a more elegant way to show my prestige as Cao Mengde. How should I say it? Let me think for a moment... How about this: "Yuan Benchu is a descendant of four generations of three dukes, with many officials from his family, and is the scion of a famous Han dynasty minister, he can be the leader of our alliance."

  Cao Cao thought he had come up with a great phrase, feeling very proud of himself, and was sure to make a big impression. He stood up with a smile, shook off the magnificent armor that was about to fall apart, and just as he was about to speak...

  Suddenly, a man stood up behind Gong Sun Zan, it was Sun Yu. Sun Yu said loudly: "Yuan Benchu is the descendant of four generations of three dukes and has many former officials in his family. He is the descendant of famous Han dynasty prime ministers and can be the alliance leader."

  Pfft, Cao Cao almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and she wailed in her heart: "Great, it's that Sun Yu again, coming to steal my thunder, even the words he says are the same as mine, I... hate... you!"
