Chen Gong himself is an extremely principled person, otherwise he would not have given up his official position as county magistrate to save Cao Cao. He would not have abandoned Cao Cao directly after Cao Cao killed Lu Boshe's family.

Therefore, although Luo Zhi entertained him with delicious food and drinks after coming to Luo Zhi's army, he had no intention of making any suggestions for Luo Zhi.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve. Although Chen Gong is now in decline, he can still be regarded as a famous person, while Luo Zhi is a nobody, with no reputation at all, and his official position is just a county magistrate, which is worse than nothing.

He was the county magistrate before joining Chen Palace.

In this case, how could Chen Gong join Luo Zhi's command?

However, Chen Gong was unwilling to join, but Luo Zhi would not let him leave. The strength of the initial stage of supernatural power was not worth mentioning in front of Luo Zhi. He did not want Chen Gong to leave, and Chen Gong could not even get out of his own tent!

One day later, Suanzao County arrived.

There were a total of eighteen princes who responded to Cao Cao's call, each with their own troops. Among them, there were as many as Yuan Shao, with more than 30,000 soldiers, and some as few as no less than 10,000.

Now, although the eighteen princes have not come together, the sixteen princes have come, with a total strength of more than 400,000!

These troops set up their own camps and spread out for more than 200 miles. The sights and sounds were swept away. The area around Jujube was full of soldiers with fierce blood and blood. It was very spectacular.

Chen Gong felt a little uncomfortable because of Luo Zhi's forcible restraint, but seeing this mighty army at this moment, he was also shocked.

"With such a powerful army, if we can work together, Thief Dong will definitely die!"

The word "if you can" already shows that Chen Gong is not optimistic about this army.

Although there are many troops and strong teams, the eighteen princes are not united in their hearts. I am afraid that most of the strength is focused on internal friction.

Before the mighty 10,000-strong army arrived at the coalition forces, but still twenty miles away, a civil servant in the spiritual fire realm flew in on the divine wind. He watched the army in mid-air and couldn't help but marvel.

"There are more than 11,000 people marching, but 10,000 people are walking in unison. The team is neat and orderly. Their strength has reached the level of agility. They are definitely the elite of the army."

Generally speaking, if your cultivation reaches the realm of agility, you can already become a general. It may not be qualified to command ten thousand people, but it is definitely enough to command a thousand people.

But here, they are all ordinary soldiers.

"Not to be underestimated!"

The civil servant fell to the ground and asked: "May I ask which army it is? Who is the leader?"

Luo Zhi stepped forward and said: "Gu Xian, the county magistrate of a certain Jiahao County, led 11,000 soldiers and came to challenge Dong!"

County magistrate?

The civil servant was stunned.

Are you kidding me?

Counties in the Han Dynasty were divided into large counties and small counties. Those with more than 10,000 households were called large counties, and those with less than 10,000 households were called small counties. Large counties were called county magistrates, and small counties were called county magistrates. Although both are in the same county,

The highest officer, but the status of the two is absolutely different.

Because of this, Chen Gong, who was once the county magistrate, would not join the ranks of county magistrate Luo Zhi.

However, looking at the ten thousand troops behind the other party and feeling the cold aura coming from the other party, the civil servant did not dare to underestimate the other party because of his position, and said respectfully: "Please follow me."

Then, he led Luo Zhi's army and rushed to the coalition camp.

The camp spreads for hundreds of miles. Where should each army be located is a big problem. This official showed up 20 miles in advance just to solve this problem.

At the same time, he also conveyed information to the coalition forces, informing them of the appearance of this large army.

Li Gongtu approached Luo Zhi and asked: "County magistrate, after we arrive at the coalition forces, should we pay a visit to Duke Cao?"

Luo Zhi looked back at him and said meaningfully: "Did you know? In this coalition, Yuan Shao of Jizhou brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, while Gongsun Zan of Youzhou only had 15,000 soldiers and horses."

Li Gongtu understood immediately.

Perhaps, when he just left Hao County, the county magistrate sincerely wanted to defect to Cao Cao.

But now, with 10,000 elite soldiers at his disposal, he has completely abandoned this idea and is preparing to start his own business.

In fact, this was exactly the case. When Luo Zhi discovered that he could create more than 10,000 fire crow soldiers before reaching Suanzao, he had completely given up the idea of ​​defecting to Cao Cao.

How can Gu Xian, the general under Cao Cao, one of the eighteen princes, compare to Gu Xian, one of the nineteen princes?

In the coalition camp, inside Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao, the initiator of this war, wore a black official uniform, a crown on his head, boots on his feet, and a heavenly sword on his waist. Although he was less than 1.7 meters tall, he was majestic and had a formidable aura.

Cao Cao, who was born in an aristocratic family, his ancestor was Cao Shen, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. His family had the world's top divine and physical refining techniques. Cao Cao had been practicing both methods since he was a child. When he reached the realm of divine refining, he also had physical refining skills.

Reached the realm of spiritual fire.

Now that the coalition had just been established, Cao Cao used his own personal wisdom to keenly discover the biggest weakness of the coalition.

Heartbroken.

At this moment, he was worrying about this problem when he heard a long report and a messenger came in and said: "Report, Hao County Magistrate Gu Xian is here to provide support."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "I am just a county magistrate. Let the people below me receive you. There is no need to report to me."

The messenger said: "Information says that this county magistrate is extraordinary and has 10,000 elite soldiers under his command."

"Oh?" Cao Cao paused and asked with interest: "Ten thousand elite soldiers? How is the military appearance?"

"The queue is neat, the steps are steady, and the strength is strong. They are the masters of hundreds of battles!"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he said: "A county magistrate, whose jurisdiction is no more than 10,000 households, can actually recruit 10,000 elite soldiers? Could it be that... some wealthy family is behind this?"

He immediately thought of the ministers held hostage by Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City.

They hold high positions, and there is an unknown amount of power behind each of them. Now that they are trapped in Luoyang and unable to leave, it does not mean that the power behind them will not take action.

But Cao Cao couldn't figure out which one it was.

"Haha, let's go meet the county magistrate!"

At the same time, in Yuan Shao's camp, there was a feast of wine and meat, but it was Yuan Shao who was entertaining Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, and Zhang Chao, the governor of Guangling.

Yuan Shao said: "You two, there are hundreds of thousands of coalition forces now, each with his own master. Without unified command, I am afraid that all efforts will be in vain. According to you two, who should be the leader of the alliance?"

Zhang Chao immediately said: "The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and you, brother Benchu, are the eldest son of Yuan. The position of leader and alliance leader belongs to you."

Yuan Shao said: "Hey, that's wrong. Cao Mengde was a true hero when he assassinated Dong Zhuo. He is the one who called for it this time. In my opinion, Cao Mengde should be the leader of the alliance."

After saying that, Yuan Shao drank a glass of wine and said: "However, if I are really allowed to be the leader of the alliance, I will definitely be rewarded for my merits after defeating Dong Zhuo."

The two of them understood each other.

The arrival of the soldiers was announced outside the door, but they were immediately intercepted by a scribe.

"My lord, something is wrong. If you have any news, please tell me."

The messenger said: "Gu Xian, the magistrate of Hao County, has come to support us."

Hearing this, the scribe snorted coldly and said: "Just a county magistrate, come as soon as he comes. Is this worthy of strongly repaying the lord?"
