After Wang Can left Diao Chan's camp, he went to inspect the camp again.
As for Cao Cao, who left Wang Can's camp, he was a little disappointed and a little decadent because he couldn't get a definite answer from Wang Can.
It would be very difficult to attack Dong Zhuo without strong reinforcements.
Wang Can has three main forces under his command: the Pojun Camp, the Fallen Camp, and the Hanzhong Soldiers.
Although the Pobarracks, the Fallen Camp, and the Hanzhong Soldiers total only more than a thousand people, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Even though Cao Cao and Sun Jian's soldiers were brave and adept at fighting and fearless of death, without Wang Can's participation, there would be no flexible cavalry support. cavalry Cao Cao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peiping.
He had an idea in his mind and immediately walked towards Gongsun Zan's camp.
Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong was brave and good at fighting, and his combat effectiveness was very strong.
If he could get Gongsun Zan's support, he would be able to have a mobile force to attack Dong Zhuo even without Wang Can's participation.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's slightly cold heart became hot again.
His feet were like wind, and he walked very quickly towards Gongsun Zan's camp.
When he arrived at Gongsun Zan's camp, Cao Cao immediately asked the soldiers guarding the camp to report.
Standing outside the camp, Cao Cao looked at the layout around Gongsun Zan's camp.
This area was originally where Gongsun Zan's army was stationed, but there was a small camp next to it.
In the camp, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were training with their soldiers.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both from the north.
They were tall and strong, with rough faces.
Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes are slightly narrowed, his long beard flutters under his chin, and he holds the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which is majestic.
Zhang Feiyan has a tiger's chin and beard, a leopard's head with eyes, a round waist and broad arms.
He is carrying a snake spear eight feet long in his hand.
He is domineering, ferocious and intimidating.
The two trained soldiers in the camp, and their every move was full of strength.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao secretly sighed that Liu Bei was an unknown guy, but he was lucky enough to have two generals.
He was really lucky.
Cao Cao was far away from Guan Yu, but Guan Yu seemed to notice that someone was watching him.
Turning his eyes, he saw Cao Cao standing outside Gongsun Zan's tent, and Guan Yu's eyes sparkled with light.
Cao Cao saw Guan Yu looking at him with a faint smile on his face.
Not long after, the soldiers who went to report the news came out and welcomed Cao Cao into Gongsun Zan's tent.
After Cao Cao entered the camp, he glanced around the tent, but did not see Gongsun Zan.
He immediately asked the soldiers who were placing wine and food beside him: "Where is General Gongsun?
Why didn't you see the general?"
Just as the soldier opened his mouth to answer, hearty laughter came from outside the camp.
Gongsun Zan, wearing a white cotton robe, a high crown on his head, and a long sword on his waist, opened the tent curtain and strode in.
"Brother Meng De, Zan is training soldiers in the camp.
Hearing that Brother Meng De is visiting, he went to wash up.
I apologize for keeping Brother Meng De waiting for so long."
Gongsun Zan looked calm and unrestrained, and spoke in a rich and resonant voice.
When he saw Cao Cao, he seemed to be Seeing an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, there is an extraordinary air of demeanor in his behavior.
Cao Cao said: "Bogui Gongsun Zan's words, Cao Cao took the liberty of visiting, please forgive me for disturbing you."
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The two of them always spoke politely when they met, and it was very lively as you came and went.
Cao Cao said: "Brother Bogui, when I just entered the camp, I saw there was a separate camp next to it, in which Liu Bei's brother was training soldiers.
Isn't Liu Bei a general under brother Bogui?
Why did he open it alone?
Yingzhai, does Liu Bei belong to a separate camp?"

Gongsun Zan's mouth twitched and he explained: "Zan led the troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
He did not have Liu Bei under his command, but when Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and hundreds of soldiers to attack Dong Zhuo, we met on the road. because Liu Bei and I were classmates, so we asked Liu Bei to come with Zan.
However, Liu Bei's soldiers are trained separately and have nothing to do with Zan.
Well, don't worry about these trivial matters.
Brother Meng De, what's the point of coming here this time?
Is it something important?”
Cao Cao said: "Since Brother Bogui asked, Cao Cao said it straight to the point."
Gongsun Zan nodded and waited for Cao Cao's next words.
Cao Cao said: "In today's battle with Dong Zhuo, the princes have become aware of Dong Zhuo's strength.
In addition, the soldiers under his command have suffered heavy casualties, and they all have the idea of cowardly fighting.
This is very detrimental to the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao is here.
The purpose of visiting Brother Bogui is to gain Brother Bogui’s support and prepare to continue the attack on Dong Zhuo and go straight to Luoyang.”
After Gongsun Zan heard this, he immediately fell silent. timid Gongsun Zan also had this idea in his mind, but Gongsun Zan was not afraid of Dong Zhuo, but worried about fighting Dong Zhuo.
His soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and he failed to defeat Dong Zhuo.
If Gongsun Zan loses his troops and his generals are greatly reduced, he may be attacked by other forces after returning to Youzhou, so he has to be careful.
In fact, most of the princes from all walks of life are not timid, but cannot bear the losses.
For example, Gongsun Zan himself had conflicts with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and both sides disliked each other.
Liu Yu adopted a policy of coaxing and appeasing the ethnic minorities outside the Great Wall, while Gongsun Zan believed that an iron-blood policy should be adopted.
The two concepts put the two major forces in Youzhou in opposition.
It would be nice if Gongsun Zan succeeded in his crusade against Dong Zhuo.
After all, he would return to Youzhou with great achievements.
If he suffers a disastrous defeat and loses all his soldiers, after returning to Youzhou, if Liu Yu takes advantage of the situation and robs him, Gongsun Zan must consider whether Gongsun Zan can stop Liu Yu.
Seeing Gongsun Zan's silence, Cao Cao's heart thumped, secretly thinking that there was no chance again.
After a long silence, Gongsun Zan said: "Brother Meng De, Zan obeys Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and obeys the orders of the leader in everything."
Gongsun Zan could not refuse Cao Cao directly, so he could only blame Yuan Shao for everything.
Cao Cao understood what Gongsun Zan meant as soon as he heard this.
As long as Yuan Shao was willing to let the armies of the princes fight Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan would do his part.
But if Yuan Shao doesn't take the initiative to attack, Gongsun Zan will not lead his troops into battle.
Thinking of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao smiled bitterly in his heart.
He just thought that Yuan Shao would not take the initiative to send troops, so he personally went to Sun Jian, Wang Can, and Gongsun Zan.
Now only Sun Jian is willing to fight Dong Zhuo, Wang Can's attitude is unclear, and Gongsun Zan refuses again, which makes Cao Cao heartbroken.
Gotta panic.
The words have been clearly stated, and saying more will not help.
Cao Cao stood up, bowed to Gongsun Zan, and said, "Since Brother Bogui has already made up his mind, Cao Cao will not force Brother Bogui and leave."
Gongsun Zan stood up and said, "Brother Meng De, walk slowly."
Looking at Cao Cao's slightly lonely figure, Gongsun Zan looked at the untouched food and wine on the desk, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He wanted to help Cao Cao and also wanted to attack Dong Zhuo, but Gongsun Zan was not like Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was just a wanted criminal who had just escaped from Luoyang.
He did not need to consider anything except recruiting soldiers under his command.
But Gongsun Zan was different.
Gongsun Zan was a pastor.
The prefect guarding one side had too many worries and could not agree to Cao Cao's request.
Cao Cao left the camp, looking lonely and even more tired.
Among so many princes, only Sun Jian expressed his willingness to fight Dong Zhuo.

Sad When Cao Cao walked out of Gongsun Zan's camp, Liu Bei also saw Cao Cao.
Liu Bei wanted to establish a relationship with Cao Cao, so he looked at Cao Cao's back eagerly, expecting Cao Cao to look back, and then he walked up to talk to Cao Cao, and the two sides had a rough conversation.
However, Cao Cao was full of worries and lowered his head, not even glancing in Liu Bei's direction, which disappointed Liu Bei.
"Oh, what a pity" Liu Bei watched Cao Cao leave and sighed in his heart.
With a heavy heart, Cao Cao walked out of the princes' camp aimlessly and walked towards the mountains and forests behind the camp.
The forest soldiers behind the camp checked to make sure there were no spies planted by Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao was walking in the forest alone, looking at the trees that had sprouted buds, and said to himself: The big trees have already sprouted buds, when will the big man grow new buds?
"Crack" In the distance, a slight crunching sound sounded.
Cao Cao followed the sound and heard that it was the sound made by Xun Yu stepping on a dead branch.
Xun Yu walked towards Cao Cao slowly with a smile on his face.
As he walked, he said loudly: "As long as you don't give up, persevere to the end, and never give up.
The big man will be able to grow new buds one day.
This process may take a long time." , but it’s not impossible.
Could it be that Brother Mengde got a little bit of a blow and became discouraged?”
"Eh" Cao Cao exclaimed, with deep doubts on his face, and asked softly: "Wen Ruo, why did you appear in the forest if you weren't in the original camp?"
Xun Yu said calmly: "Yuan Shao is indecisive and it is difficult to achieve great things.
I have left Yuan Shao."
After hearing this, Cao Cao was ecstatic and his eyes were burning.
Chance great opportunity Youdao is lost in the east but gained in the mulberry tree.
Although he did not get the support of Wang Can and Gongsun Zan, he didn't expect to wander around aimlessly and bump into Xun Yu who had left Yuan Shao.
At this moment, Cao Cao's heart became hot.
He also had several conversations with Xun Yu and admired Xun Yu's talents.
However, at that time, Xun Yu was working under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could not directly recruit people.
Now that Xun Yu has left Yuan Shao, isn't it an opportunity for Cao Cao?
Without any hesitation, Cao Cao immediately bowed deeply to Xun Yu and said, "If Cao Cao is not talented, please give Wen Ruo a helping hand."
Xun Yu smiled indifferently, bowed to Cao Cao, and said, "I don't dare to ask you to listen, I just wish to do it."
Cao Cao helped Xun Yu up and said, "When I get Wen Ruo, it's like rain on a dry land."
Xun Yu also showed a warm smile.
He stayed in Yuan Shao's camp and got along with Yuan Shao for a long time.
He found that Yuan Shao was indecisive and could not achieve great things.
Moreover, Yuan Shao was too ambitious and was not Xun Yu's ideal candidate.
After Xun Yu met Cao Cao, he carefully observed Cao Cao for a period of time.
After a long period of thinking, he finally decided on the idea of joining Cao Cao.
