Both Yuan Shao and Lu Bu have a tacit understanding and are very cooperative.
Yuan Shao did not send troops to fight, and the no-war sign was hung high above the camp, and he did not engage in battle with Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu came to challenge him, he only grunted twice, with heavy thunder and light rain.
He didn't have the urge to rush into the princes' camp with Fang Tian's painted halberd.
He didn't cry for his father or mother, or yell at the sky to fight with the princes to the end.
However, the strange thing is that the no-war sign was hung outside the princes' camp, and Lu Bu still stood on horseback outside the princes' camp and patrolled back and forth without returning to the camp.
This made the princes unpredictable.
The drums are loud and the horns are loud.
The soldiers beating drums and blowing horns went crazy and used all their strength to beat drums and blow horns.
Lu Bu stood on horseback outside the camp, watching the drummers beating drums and the trumpeters blowing trumpets for nearly an hour.
Then, Lu Bu leisurely led the Xiliang soldiers to leave the princes' camp and withdraw their troops back to the camp.
Before leaving, Lu Bu promised that he would come back the next day, hoping that the princes would be prepared and find a few capable generals to challenge him.
This is of course Lu Bu's method of provoking the generals, or it can be said that Lu Bu said it in order to stabilize the allies of the princes and prevent them from sending troops.
The purpose was to make the princes mistakenly think that Dong Zhuo still had not withdrawn his troops and wanted to fight the princes decisively.
Everyone's attention was attracted to Lu Bu, so that Dong Zhuo's army could retreat safely and securely.
In the princes' camps, various princes left Yuan Shao's camp and returned to their own camps.
As soon as Cao Cao returned to the camp, he summoned Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Xun Yu to discuss matters.
Cao Cao said: "Today Lu Bu came to challenge Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao refused to come out.
This situation is fine for one day.
If we avoid fighting for a long time, our morale will definitely be affected.
I am afraid that we will be defeated before Dong Zhuo leads the army to attack." .
The top priority now is to take the initiative to show off the power and momentum of the Allies.
However, we need to carefully consider how to fight well.
Wen Ruo, let me know what you think. " Xun Yu coughed twice and said: "My lord, if you want to take the initiative, you can only join forces."
Cao Cao asked: "How to unite?"
Xun Yu said with a smile: "My lord went to visit various princes a few days ago, which is an alliance."
After hearing this, Cao Cao looked quite depressed and said: "Wen Ruo, the method of uniting other princes will not work.
Except for Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, no one is willing to take the initiative to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
Even Wang Can's attitude was ambiguous and did not give any information.
A definite answer, the future is slim.”
Xun Yu said: "My lord, there are only two princes you can win over, one is Wang Can and the other is Sun Jian.
As for the other princes such as Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, etc., they may have worries about their subordinates.
The soldiers suffered heavy losses and were threatened by other forces after returning to their own territory; or the soldiers under their command were weak and vulnerable; or even the princes like Tao Qian were old and had more than enough ambition but not enough power. " Cao Cao said: "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are still young, why are they not worth winning over?"
Xun Yu smiled and asked: "My lord thinks that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will send troops."
Cao Cao smiled and shook his head.
He also knew that Yuan Shao was frightened by the momentum of Dong Zhuo's army.
With other princes dragging him down, Yuan Shao could not send troops and could only live in the camp.
After a pause, Cao Cao said: "Sun Jian agreed, but Wang Can is not easy to convince."
Xun Yu said: "My lord, don't you hear that King Wen asked Jiang Taigong to go out and give up the chariot he was riding in to Jiang Taigong, and it was King Wen who personally pulled the chariot.
The lord wants to achieve great things, how can it be solved with just one sentence?"
As long as Wang Can doesn't refuse, the lord will have a chance.
If it doesn't work once, then twice, and if it doesn't work twice, then three times."
"Hmph, Wang Can is arrogant, why should my lord bother to beg him?"
Xiahou Dun was very unhappy when he saw that Xun Yu asked Cao Cao to ask Wang Can in a low manner.
What is Cao Cao's identity?

He was an official in Luoyang and came from a famous family.
He actually wanted to beg Wang Can in a low voice.
He snorted and shouted: "A year ago, Wang Can was just a yellow turban thief.
What's so great about it?"
There are not many people involved with Wang Can, and there are many people involved without Wang Can.
We can attack Dong Zhuo ourselves, so why bother asking Wang Can to send troops."
Cao Hong also nodded in agreement and said angrily: "Xiahou Dun's brother Yuan Rang is right.
My lord, you don't need to ask Wang Can.
We can just lead the troops to attack Dong Zhuo ourselves."
Cao Cao scolded: "Shut up, fighting between two armies is nothing but a joke.
If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Xiahoudun raised his head, hummed twice, looked at Xiahouyuan next to him, and signaled Xiahouyuan to speak.
Xiahou Yuan smiled and shook his head, which made Xiahou Dun extremely depressed.
Xun Yu looked at the indignant expressions of Xiahou Dun and Cao Hongyi, and a smile appeared on his face.
He humiliated his ministers to death, and Cao Cao was lucky to be supported by Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun.
He coughed twice and asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "General Xiahou, General Cao, without Zhao Yun holding Lu Bu back, how could you withstand Lu Bu?"
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were not generals, but Xun Yu was named a general, which made them feel quite comfortable.
However, the words that followed were like a basin of cold water falling from the sky and splashing on their heads, giving them a chill.
Lu Bu This tiger is not easy to block.
Without Zhao Yun, it is still unknown whether Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Sun Jian can block Lu Bu.
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong fell silent.
There was a rare silence in the camp.
At this moment, a soldier from outside the camp ran in quickly and whispered in Cao Cao's ear.
In an instant, Cao Cao's face became very embarrassed, and his slightly dark face was so gloomy that it almost dripped water.
He waved away the soldiers and said in a deep voice: "Wen Ruo, we just got the news that Dong Zhuo has led the army to retreat."
"Why did Dong Zhuo retreat?"
Xia Houyuan's eyes widened with surprise.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong were also shocked.
They did not expect that Dong Zhuo would withdraw his troops on his own initiative.
Xia Houyuan thought for a while and asked: "Lord, what should we do now?"
Cao Cao frowned and looked at Xun Yu.
Xun Yu took a deep breath and asked: "My lord, is the news of Dong Zhuo's retreat true?
Could it be that Dong Zhuo deliberately led his army to retreat so that the princes could lead their armies to pursue them and ambush the princes?"
Cao Cao said: "Dong Zhuo really led the army to retreat, and news came from Luoyang that Dong Zhuo seemed to have the intention to move the capital."
After Xun Yu heard this, his head was as big as an ox's and his brain was a little mushy.
However, Xun Yu was thoughtful and thought for a moment before saying: "My lord, since Dong Zhuo really led the army to retreat, there is no need to consider why Dong Zhuo took the initiative to retreat.
The top priority is to persuade Wang Can as soon as possible and let Wang Can also lead the attack.
Wang Can breaks the military camp to support, and the pressure on the lord will be less.
If Dong Zhuo runs away and misses the opportunity, it will be difficult to pursue Dong Zhuo. " Cao Cao stood up suddenly and said, "Wen Ruo is right, I will go to Wang Can's camp right away."
After finishing speaking, Cao Cao stood up and hurriedly left the camp.
When Cao Cao walked quickly to Wang Can's camp, Wang Can was inspecting the training of soldiers.
Cao Cao immediately walked up to Wang Can and lowered his voice and said: "First, the matter is urgent.
Let's go and talk to the camp."
Seeing Cao Cao's eagerness, Wang Can nodded and said, "Okay, please, Brother Meng De."
The two of them entered the camp together, and the host and guest took their seats.

Wang Can asked: "Brother Meng De, what happened?"
Cao Cao looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Lü Bu's provocation is an illusion.
Dong Zhuo's army has begun to retreat."
Wang Can's tone was very calm and he said: "Oh, Dong Zhuo started to retreat so quickly."
Cao Cao was surprised by Wang Can's reaction, but he didn't have enough time to think about it.
Now Dong Zhuo's army was about to retreat and it was imminent.
The matter was already very urgent.
He said: "First, Dong Zhuo retreats, which is a good time to pursue.
Cao Cao is willing to again Please put national affairs first and lead the army to break up the camp and defeat Dong Zhuo."
Wang Can stared at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also looked at Wang Can.
After a while, Wang Can said: "Okay, I promise you."
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Well, first of all, you must gather all the soldiers immediately.
After the army is assembled, we will set off immediately.
Well, I will go to General Sun and ask him to gather the soldiers and prepare to set off." ” Wang Can had his own plans in mind and could not disrupt his plans because of Cao Cao.
Wang Can said: "Brother Meng De, if you want to defeat Dong Zhuo, we can't do it alone.
You go find General Sun.
I will go to General Gongsun's camp and borrow a few people.
We will meet at the gate of the camp then." ” Cao Cao said: "First of all, I have already been to General Gongsun's camp."
Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Wang Can interrupted: "I'm not asking Gongsun Zan to send troops, I'm just borrowing a few generals."
After a pause, Wang Can said again: "The matter is urgent, Brother Meng De, hurry up."
After saying that, both of them left the camp.
Cao Cao went straight to Sun Jian's camp, while Wang Can went in the other direction, towards Gongsun Zan's camp.
After Wang Can saw Gongsun Zan, he said straight to the point: "Brother Bogui, I am going to attack Dong Zhuo with Brother Mengde and Brother Wentai.
I also know your difficulties, so I will not persuade you to send troops.
I am here this time to ask for help."
You can borrow it for two people, what do you think?"
Gongsun Zan felt relieved, as long as he was not allowed to send troops.
With a smile on his face, Gongsun Zan patted his chest and said loudly: "You can say whatever you want, as long as Zan can do it, he will not let Wei Xian down."
Wang Can smiled and said, "I'll borrow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."
Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment, and then ordered to the soldiers in the camp: "Go and invite the three brothers Liu Bei to come over, and tell them that I have important matters to discuss with them."
"promise" The soldier responded, turned and left.
Gongsun Zan and Wang Can talked for a while, and not long after, the three Liu Bei brothers hurried to the camp.
After entering the camp, Liu Bei frowned slightly when he saw Wang Can was also in the camp, and a light flashed in his eyes.
However, his Gujingbubo expression instantly returned.
He bowed to Wang Can and Gongsun Zan and said, "General Gongsun, what can I do?"
Gongsun Zan looked at Wang Can and motioned for Wang Can to speak.
Wang Can said: "Brother Xuande, Cao Mengde, Sun Wentai and I are going to lead the army to attack Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu is brave and needs a general with extraordinary courage to resist Lu Bu.
Can feels that the second and third brothers Xuande are the most powerful generals in the world.
Resist Lu Bu, Therefore, I want to use the Xuande brothers' second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei to go to the battlefield to fight against Lu Bu.
I wonder if Xuande brother is willing to give up his love.
If Xuande brother agrees, Xuande brother will also have a share of the credit after defeating Dong Zhuo.
What do you think, Brother De?”
Liu Bei did not hesitate at all and said: "Bei has nothing else but to live and die with his second and third brothers.
Lu Bu is brave, but Bei is also passionate and is willing to fight Lu Bu together with his second and third brothers."
Wang Can was stunned for a moment, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

He originally wanted to borrow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei actually wanted to go with him.
Moreover, Liu Bei's words moved both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
If Liu Bei was not allowed to go, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would definitely not agree to fight.
Wang Can said: "Okay, the three of you can come together."
Liu Bei looked delighted and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Governor Wang."
Wang Can said: "You're welcome.
I only value you if you have strength.
Go put on your armor, pick up your weapons, and prepare to go into battle.
Time is very urgent now.
When you three are ready, go to the gate of the camp and wait.
Well, I have you.
Three people are enough, no other soldiers are needed to avoid dragging down the army. " "promise" Liu Bei thanked Wang Can again, and then led Zhang Fei and Guan Yu away.
Wang Can achieved his goal, bowed to Gongsun Zan and said: "Brother Bogui, time is running out, Can takes leave."
Gongsun Zan nodded and said: "I will go slowly first.
Brother, I wish you will go here first to defeat Dong Zhuo and make a triumphant return as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Brother Bogui."
Wang Can bowed his hands to Gongsun Zan, then turned and left.
Now that there are three Liu Bei brothers, at least Wang Can doesn't have to worry about Lu Bu, a tiger, and he can also free up his hands to do other things.
There is still a long way to go to seize the money Dong Zhuo collected:
