Chenliu, Cao Cao’s hometown.

Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so he fled back to Chen Liu's hometown overnight.

In order to recruit troops and expand their strength, they did not hesitate to recruit troops and horses.

With the help of Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu County, he finally established a foothold in his hometown.

Cao Cao was very pleased to see all the talents coming to join him.

In terms of generals, there are brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan from the Xiahou family, Cao Ren and Cao Hong from the Cao family, and others.

Among those who have recently come to seek refuge are Li Dian, Le Jin and Man Chong, who are quite powerful.

As for the civil servants, there was only a weak scholar Xi Zhicai to assist him, but he seemed so lonely.

Cao Cao was already on the same level as Dong Zhuo, and without any scruples, he decided to raise the banner against Dong Zhuo.

"My lord dares to be the first in the world and leads the rebel army to fight against Dong Zhuo. He will indeed be able to make a splash and gain enough prestige and profit. However, it will be accompanied by a greater crisis."

"Dong Zhuo will definitely not let us go. If we cannot stop Dong Zhuo's offensive, it will only make the princes in the world more afraid of Dong Zhuo. From now on, no one will dare to confront Dong Zhuo head-on."

Xi Zhicai analyzed the pros and cons.

"What Zhicai said was reasonable, but Dong Zhuo went against the grain, killed Zhongliang, and controlled the emperor in his hands, making all the people angry."

"As a Han official, I, Cao Cao, know that I cannot do something, but I will do it. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Cao Cao clenched his fists and his eyes were full of determination.

He has made up his mind to fight Dong Zhuo to the end.

"I will follow my lord to the death, no matter what if I encounter the Xiliang cavalry. We are not cowards. At worst, we will die together with the Dong thief."

Xia Houyuan was the first to stand up and express his determination.

Cao Ren and others followed closely and expressed their willingness to fight to the end.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Xi Zhicai had no choice but to say: "Since the Lord has made up his mind, I have no choice but to plan everything for the Lord."

"Send someone to inform Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, and ask them to send troops to assist."

"Second, ask Yuan Shao to send troops to assist. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. As long as Yuan Shao sends troops, all the princes will respond positively."

"Haha..." Cao Cao laughed heartily: "Zhicai's words are reasonable, so I ask you to write a message for me to attack Dong Zhuo, and invite all the princes to send troops to fight against the national traitor Dong Zhuo."

Cao Cao believed that as long as he took the lead in speaking out, he would be able to make a name for himself in the world.

Taking this opportunity to continuously recruit talents and expand his strength, he had the capital to deal with Dong Zhuo.

"Lord, there is another person who needs special attention."

"Oh, I wonder who it is?"

"Ying Xi!"

Cao Cao was stunned and didn't know what Xi Zhicai wanted to do when he asked him to pay attention to Ying Xi.

"Ying Xi destroyed the Xiongnu in one battle and defeated Yuan Shao in one battle. He became famous all over the world. His strength should not be underestimated."

"Bingzhou's geographical location is critical. If he is willing to help us, he can threaten Hedong by sending troops."

"Similarly, if he associates with the Dong thieves, he can also threaten the land of Jizhou and Yanzhou and become a serious problem for us."

Hearing this, Cao Cao was completely silent.

Cao Cao had already heard about the man who slaughtered the Huns, and he had long wanted to meet this outstanding man.

If such a person helps Dong Zhuo, even if he has the help of Yuan Shao and others, he will be difficult to deal with.

"I just hope that Ying Xi, like me, Cao Cao, wants to be a loyal minister who helps the Han Dynasty." Cao Cao sighed.

"I heard that Ying Xi will marry Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, in the near future. It would be a good idea for the Lord to send an envoy to congratulate him and take the opportunity to explore Ying Xi's tone." Xi Zhicai suggested.

"Okay, I'll send someone to see Ying Xi."

Ying Xi didn't know that he was already being targeted by Boss Cao and others.

Even though he knew everyone's thoughts, Ying Xi didn't bother to pay attention.

Compared with the major event of his wedding, the crusade against Dong Zhuo was insignificant.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the agreed day to welcome the bride had arrived.

Yao Guangxiao personally rushed to Cai Mansion with a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and silk and satin that he had prepared in advance.

Ying Xi was served by his servants, put on the groom's official clothes, accepted the worship of all the civil and military ministers at the mansion, and waited for the arrival of his bride.

In order to celebrate with the soldiers and people of Bingzhou, Ying Xi directly ordered people to open the treasury, take out a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, take out fine wine and food, reward the three armies, and distribute them to the people in Jinyang City.

The people of Jinyang City received Ying Xi's reward and spontaneously put up lanterns and colors to celebrate their state shepherd.

The entire streets and alleys of Jinyang were filled with joy and joy, filled with joy.

In order to reflect the solemnity of the wedding, the sedan chair even walked through the streets and alleys and circled outside the city.

Xin Zhao led a group of soldiers and personally greeted him at the city gate.

Not long after, a long team appeared in Ying Xi's field of vision.

There were more than a hundred carriages following, stretching as far as the eye could see, making it difficult to see the end.

Dozens of maids, dressed in red, followed closely around a big red carriage.

In the middle of the team, the huge carriage hanging with red cloth is particularly eye-catching.

Ying Xi's eyes were also attracted by the carriage, and it was difficult to divert his attention.

Because the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Cai Yan, who was about to become his wife.

Yao Guangxiao personally sat at the front. Seeing Ying Xi waiting at the city gate, he quickly rode forward: "The poor monk has fulfilled his mission and has become famous and brought back his mistress."

Ying Xi said with a bit of pride: "Thank you for your hard work, great monk. I will definitely have a drink with you later."

"My lord kindly invites me, and all the poor monks obey my orders. However, my lord has important things to do later, and I don't dare to delay my lord's important life events."

The two masters and ministers smiled calmly, and Ying Xi directly escorted the carriage back to the mansion.

Along the way, people took to the streets, and the streets were empty, to celebrate the victory.

Under the cheering blessings of the people, the carriage finally arrived at the Anseong Marquis Mansion.

Cai Yan, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a gauze hijab on her head, got out of the carriage with the support of two maids, crossed the threshold with light steps, and arrived at her mansion.

Next, there is a series of complicated etiquette.

Ying Xi had the intention to keep everything simple, but Cai Yong was stubborn and stubborn. He didn't want to leave any impression on Cai Yan that he looked down upon him.

After several twists and turns, Cai Yan was sent to the rear to rest, while Ying Xi was in the front yard, entertaining many distinguished guests.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed during happy events. At the most important moment in life, Ying Xi completely let himself go and had a hearty drink with many of his subordinates and guests.

He didn't know how much he drank, but Ying Xi only felt that his vision was blurred, and he was worried about delaying his business, so he sent everyone away, staggered straight to the new house.
