Chapter 792 Sour Jujube Alliance (Part 2)
Chapter 790: Sour Jujube Alliance (Part 2)
Seeing Qin Hao''s sad face, Cao Cao''s eyes were full of concern, he patted Qin Hao''s shoulder and comforted:
"My nephew, brother, he has been fighting for most of his life. Now he cannot go to the battlefield. Although it is a painful thing for him, it may not be a bad thing."
"Um?"
Qin Hao showed a surprised look, while Cao Cao continued, "Brother can just take off his burden and enjoy the joy of family. I can''t even envy such a life."
Looking at Cao Cao''s respectful and caring eyes, Qin Hao suddenly felt that he had misread Cao Cao before.
Qin Hao always felt that Cao Cao had joined forces with his father just to take advantage of that stupid and generous father. Now it seems that there is still a relationship between these three old men.
"Uncle San, then the position of leader this time?"
Qin Hao returned to the main point again, while Cao Cao laughed and said seriously: "This time the position of leader must be a virtuous nephew."
Qin Hao smiled, his lips moved slightly, and said, "Thank you."
"Except for the nephew, the rest of the people served as the leader, and Cao Cao was worried..."
In Cao Cao''s tone and attitude of his answer, Qin Hao saw that although Cao Cao was a prince, he still had nostalgia for the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao was in his heart that the coalition forces could defeat Dong Zhuo, conquer Chang''an, rescue the Han Emperor, and thus revive the Han Dynasty. However, he also knew that there were many princes, and when there were too many people, he would definitely be unhappy. At this time, a high-prestige person was needed to lead the way.
Among the princes, Qin Hao and Dong Zhuo are the only ones who stay in the throne. No matter in terms of military strength, ability, or reputation, the princes who come to join the alliance cannot compare with Qin Hao. Therefore, for those princes who are interested in the Han Dynasty, Qin Hao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the leader of the alliance, and age is not an obstacle at all.
After receiving Cao Cao''s guidance, Qin Hao estimated that those princes of the Han Dynasty would recommend themselves as leaders, such as Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Liu Yu and others.
As for those who are hesitating because of their age, Qin Hao only needs to continue to increase public relations. As long as more than half of the people are willing to elect Qin Hao, the position of leader of the alliance will be stable.
"By the way, Uncle San, you captured several generals under Li Mi in the Battle of Destroying Ming. I wonder if they have all been conquered now?" Qin Hao asked
Cao Cao couldn''t understand Qin Hao''s thoughts, but he also said truthfully: "Wang Junke and other generals have been subdued by me, but that Cheng Yaojin is simply a stone in the fur tank, smelly and hard, and he doesn''t want to surrender no matter what he said."
Cao Cao''s personality charm is still very high. Most of the generals captured by him will be moved by his sincerity. Almost few people are unwilling to surrender, and Cheng Yaojin is one of the very small ones.
Wang Junke and others have surrendered and have taken turns to persuade him, but Cheng Yaojin just doesn''t want to surrender. Because of Wang Junke and others, Cao Cao is not able to kill Cheng Yaojin, so he has been locked up until now.
"How could my nephew know this person?" Cao Cao asked.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "That''s right. Qin Qiong, the brother of my fellow clan, had traveled to the world with Cheng Yaojin, and later the two of them became brothers of righteousness. Since Cheng Yaojin was unwilling to surrender, can the third uncle hand him over to his nephew? The nephew was willing to redeem him with one hundred pairs of armor."
Cao Cao''s eyes suddenly lit up. Cheng Yaojin was unwilling to surrender to him, and continuing to keep it would be a waste of food.
Besides, among the five generals captured at that time, Cao Cao really valued only Wang Junke, and the other four, including Cheng Yaojin, were just followers, so it would be better to exchange some benefits with Qin Hao.
"My nephew, Cheng Yaojin is a top-notch general. There is too little armor for one hundred, at least five hundred."
In Qin Hao''s eyes, Cao Cao''s appearance was like a shrewd old fox.
Is Cheng Yaojin actually a top-notch general? Is he so powerful? Why don’t you know? Of course, the reason why Qin Hao valued Cheng Yaojin was not because of his ability, but because Cheng Yaojin was a lucky general, and his good luck might be fed back to him, so even if Cao Cao cheated, Qin Hao recognized it.
"Uncle San, you know the cost of a pair of armor, at most two hundred, no more."
"Four hundred, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Isn''t it unclear about this principle, right?"
“Three hundred, there really can’t be more.”
"make a deal."
In this way, Qin Hao used 300 pieces of armor to redeem Cheng Yaojin from Cao Cao, but because Cheng Yaojin was locked up in Chenliu, it would take some time to transport it.
In the next three days, the local princes arrived in Yanzhou one after another, namely Zhang Miao, the prefect of Dongping, Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, Bao Xin, the prefect of Jibei, and Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang. However, they did not bring much troops, and they only brought 10,000 troops.
At this point, six princes arrived, and the troops of the camp also increased to 130,000.
Qin Hao visited these four little princes with generous gifts, and received the promises of three of them without any quarrel. As for the rejection, of course, Yuan Yi from the Yuan family, and of course this was completely within Qin Hao''s expectations.
"It seems that the Yuan family has also set their sights on the position of leader of the alliance. I must not be careless. If the ship capsizes in the gutter, it will be no good."
Qin Hao thought that if nothing unexpected happened, the Yuan family members who competed with him for the leader this time would still be Yuan Shao.
And Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou who arrived after the princes of Yanzhou.
Since there is only Tao Qian, the prince in Xuzhou, Tao Qian still has a lot of soldiers and horses, a total of 40,000 troops. However, everyone understands this combat power. After all, the Xuzhou army is famous for its weak combat power.
When Qin Hao visited Tao Qian, Tao Qian neither put on the airs of his elders nor accused Qin Hao of poaching his left and right hand Mi Zhu. He very decisively agreed to elect Qin Hao as the leader of the alliance, which made Qin Hao feel a little embarrassed.
After Yan and Xu prefectures, the princes of Yuzhou that arrived followed were Yuan Shu, Li Mi, Zhao Kuangyin and Kong Qiong, among which Yuan Shu and Zhao Kuangyin were still one.
Li Mi didn''t want to come, but he had to come.
Over the years, Yuan Shu has always wanted to destroy Li Mi, a country in the country, and Li Mi has been cautiously surviving and not giving Yuan Shu any chance to target him.
Li Mi could almost foresee that if he didn''t come to the alliance, Yuan Shu would definitely send troops directly to attack on Dong Zhuo''s sidelines.
Therefore, in order not to give Yuan Shu the opportunity to attack him, Li Mi must come to join the alliance.
After Yuzhou, the princes of Jingzhou were arrived at the three families of Huang Zu, Han Xuan and Liu Xiu.
At the same time, Huang Zu and Han Xuan both sent generals to lead troops, while Liu Xiu led the troops himself, but the number was the smallest among the princes, with only two thousand soldiers and horses.
Yan, Xu, Yu and Jing, these four states are closest to Sour Date, so they arrived the earliest. Bing, Ji, Qing, You, Yang and Yi, the six states are far away. Although they come slowly, they all arrived at Sour Date at the end of the year.
