Chapter 29: Self-disciplined Ji Hao and Yuan Shao's conspiracy

"Forehead!"

Ji Hao was stunned by Diao Chan's words. He never expected that the other party would come to him like this.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising: the beauty trap has various uses, some are used to corrupt others, such as when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, King Gou Jian of Yue gave the beautiful Xi Shi to King Fu Chai of Wu.

For example, in The Investiture of the Gods, Su Daji entered the palace to harm King Zhou of Shang.

Some are also used to sow discord.

For example, in the original novel, Wang Yun first arranged for Diao Chan to meet Lu Bu, and then sent Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo.

But it was obviously meaningless to use both of them on himself. He was not Wang Yun’s number one enemy, and he did not have an adopted father or adopted son who could be alienated from him.

Therefore, they can only present it directly to you and then influence your decision by "whispering in your ear".

In this way, Wang Yun achieved his goal.

However, if you are on guard, will you still fall into the trap?
"Please have mercy on me, General!" Diao Chan said again.

Ji Hao was not polite in response and immediately ordered someone to send her to his room. Then, he continued to discuss matters with his subordinates until late at night before returning to his room to rest.

After making love, they fell asleep.

At dawn, he got up on time to practice martial arts. After breakfast, he immediately started to deal with various military and political affairs. There was no change in the slightest because of Diao Chan's arrival.

Cao Cao and others saw this and were amazed.

"The direct descendant of the Emperor of Man, it turns out that he cannot be corrupted by the gentle world!"

"In the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only King You of Zhou could do such a ridiculous thing as 'playing tricks on the princes by lighting beacons'. The other emperors were relatively wise!" Zhang Liao also said: "It is better than the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty!"

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was a mighty man, but in his later years, he ordered the execution of his own son.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was wise, but his descendant Emperor Ling openly sold official positions.

During the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, there were more unexpected things than during the Zhou Dynasty. In terms of the quality of their descendants, Ji Hao gave them a better impression - but they didn't know that although Ji Hao's surname was Ji and his ancestor was indeed the Zhou emperor, he was not a descendant of the royal family. Everything was just a character setting he created!
Then, for three consecutive days, Ji Hao ignored Diao Chan every single day.

But no one day affects the others.

That self-discipline even made Diao Chan, who was a beauty who knew nothing about the world, feel secretly frightened. She felt that this man was different from anyone she knew.

But according to Wang Yun's plan, on the fourth day, he started to persuade her.

She pretended to have no interest in sex, and her words were full of concern for her uncle.

He wanted to provoke Ji Hao to attack Luoyang in a rage and rescue Wang Yun. Back then, King You of Zhou burned beacons to trick the princes just to win the smile of a beautiful woman, which destroyed the last foundation of the Great Zhou.

In Wang Yun's view, since they all had the same ancestor, Ji Hao was no exception.

Unexpectedly, when Diao Chan repeatedly hinted that Ji Hao should send troops to Luoyang, he suddenly drew his sword and put it against Diao Chan's neck, saying coldly: "Do you think I can't see through Wang Yun's beauty trap?"

In an instant, Diao Chan's heart sank.

The thing hasn't even been pulled out yet, but he's already turned against me and is so cold-blooded. How can there be such a cold-blooded person in this world?

"Behave yourself and don't act like a demon. I, Ji Hao, will not treat any woman unfairly. Even if you grow old and lose your beauty in the future, you will not suffer the slightest injustice! I can even ignore what old Wang Yun did for your sake!" Ji Hao said, "But if you still want to lead me into a fight with Dong Zhuo, I will kill you directly! Then I will tell Dong Zhuo about your plan. Do you think Dong Zhuo would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go?"

This ruthless look frightened Diao Chan.

She almost cried, and said in a truly pitiful voice: "I know I was wrong!"

Why be afraid of beauty who brings disaster?
Afraid of straight men!
In front of Ji Hao, who was ruthless and could do anything, she became timid and dared not to act like a demon anymore.

"That's right!" Ji Hao smiled and said, "You can only live a good life if you can clearly distinguish who you will rely on in the future. If Dong Zhuo and I both suffer losses, or if I am defeated and killed, what good ending will you have?" What is his attitude towards Diao Chan?
The most beautiful woman in the world and one of the "Four Beauties" in ancient times, it is impossible to refuse her.

Even if he knew there was conspiracy and thorns behind it, he would still go for it.

But to say that his decision was influenced by Diao Chan is impossible: Ji Hao was a straight man before he traveled through time, and he was single all his life and couldn't even be a dog-licker.

I don’t know how to please a woman!

I only know six words: The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!
"Husband, be gentle!"

……

On the other side, in Luoyang City, Wang Yun was waiting for Dong Zhuo or Ji Hao to send troops.

But Dong Zhuo just talked big and did not actually send troops. He had no intention of attacking Chengtiandu at all - not that he didn't want to, but most of the elite troops of Bingzhou were in Zhang Liao's hands, and Cao Cao had 20,000 elite troops.

Although Dong Zhuo claimed to have "300,000 Western Liang troops", he himself knew clearly how many elite troops were among them.

It takes ten times as many troops to break through an offensive.

He was smarter than Ding Yuan and did not think that Chengtian Ferry would be easy to capture, so he never sent out troops. He just waited for Ji Hao to lose his patience and attack him, and then he would catch him in the trap.

But Ji Hao refused to send out troops.

There was no news from Diao Chan who was sent there, and no one knew where the pillow talk had gone.

This made Wang Yun even more anxious.

But soon, news that made Wang Yun even more anxious reached Luoyang: Yuan Shao, who had returned home with all the troops of the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan, recruited soldiers and organized an army of 100,000.

A call was issued to the whole world to attack Dong Zhuo.

Moreover, like Ji Hao, he questioned the legitimacy of Emperor Liu Xie and invited all the princes to come to the capital to purge the court, and then choose a capable and virtuous prince with the surname Liu to be the emperor!

When this call was issued, the whole world was shocked.

Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and others were all excited.

Who doesn’t want the throne?
Even Liu Bei was wondering, is it possible that Yuan Shao would nominate the least powerful person with the surname Liu to be the emperor in order to facilitate control?

If he could ascend to the throne, he was confident that he could seize back the power that belonged to the emperor in the cracks!

"Second brother, third brother, follow me to fight the thief!"

……

On the other side, Ji Hao also received an invitation and was discussing the matter with a group of advisers.

"This is Yuan Shao's conspiracy. On the one hand, he is trying to win over the relatives of the Han royal family, and on the other hand, he is suppressing you, our lord who is currently the most popular, so that you have no chance to hold Liu Xie hostage. This can be said to be killing two birds with one stone!" Guo Jia said.

Ji Hao nodded in response.

Judging from this conspiracy, Yuan Shao was no ordinary person. The reason why he was defeated in the end was that there was always someone stronger than you, and he lost to Cao Cao by just one move!

But in this era, how many people can defeat Cao Cao?
Apart from Liu Bei, there is no one else who can match him. Yuan Shao at his peak was no weaker than the peak Eastern Wu.

Top three of the era!
"Then do we still need to attend the meeting?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course I have to go!" Ji Hao smiled and said, "If I don't go, how can I dig out the old money of the princes and build my own magic weapon?"

Yuan Shao wants to be the leader of the alliance, and the princes with the surname Liu want to be the emperor, right?
Need more money!
