This exhaustion is not just physical,

but emanating from the heart,

affected the body,

I felt a kind of weariness from the soul.

glanced at Liu Bei in front of him again,

Although his face is gloomy at this moment,

But the look is not sad or happy,

His eyes looked at Cao Ang like dead silence,

From the look in his eyes,

Cao Ang actually felt a faint ridicule and ridicule,

But after perceiving this,

Cao Ang surprisingly didn't have any angry thoughts,

He just sighed softly,

The hand is slightly pushed forward,

The sharp blade easily cut through Liu Bei's skin,

Pierced deep into his throat,

Then he pulled out the blade again,

Scarlet blood gushed out like this,

Liu Bei's eyes finally changed,

A hint of relief, a hint of relaxation,

Finally appeared on his countenance,

"Cloud Chief...... Wing De ......"

In the last moments of life,

Liu Bei pronounced these two names vaguely in his mouth,

Lying on the ground weakly,

The eyes naturally look up at the sky,

There was surprise in his eyes,

As if I saw the most intimate in this life,

At the same time, he is also the two most indebted brothers.

"Hoo ——!"

Cao Ang looked at Liu Bei intently,

After seeing the other party's expression at the moment,

His heart was very complicated,

I don't know how to describe the mood at this time,

Only with all the heart,

It turned into a long exhale.

"Revenge, how do you feel now?"

Dong Ye slowly came to Cao Ang's side,

I was a little curious about his dazed expression at the moment.

Cao Ang's gaze was still a little hollow,

After a while, I slowly reacted,

Raised his head slightly and looked at Dong Ye,

The sparkle in his eyes gradually recovered,

"Feelings?"

Cao Ang slowly raised his head,

At this moment, a touch of fish belly white has appeared in the east,

The glow pierces the night,

Finally ushered in the dawn of dawn.

Cao Ang looked at the sky in a daze,

The blue sky that gradually fades the darkness,

It didn't bring any fluctuations to Cao Ang's empty heart.

After a long time,

When the whole day is fully bright,

Cao Angcai spoke again to break the silence and said:

"To be honest, when I failed to kill Liu Bei with my own hands, it has almost become one of my life goals, but when that moment came, I suddenly felt that my heart seemed to be empty, as if I couldn't make up ......for it."

Dong Ye glanced at Cao Ang deeply,

opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know how to persuade,

Reached out and scratched his head,

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with suitable words,

Finally turned into a sigh,

gently patted Cao Ang's shoulder,

Stand with him,

Look at the clouds in the sky.

The wind blows the white clouds in the sky,

A cloud as white as a marshmallow,

In the blue canvas sky,

Countless shapes are conjured,

It looks very eye-catching,

But it can also make people stop for a long time.

The white clouds were suddenly blown away by a gust of wind,

The fierce wind not only blew away the clouds in the sky,

It blows up the sand and dust on the ground,

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes slightly,

Gently stroking the beard under the chin,

Looking at the head of the middle-aged man in front of him,

A proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth,

This man in front of him,

In this day and age,

can also be called a legend,

It is also added to the overlord of one side,

Now that he has finally been defeated in his own hands,

After this battle,

His Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi's famous general resounded throughout the Central Plains,

Glory to the ancestors, such an achievement,

Enough to fulfill a long-cherished wish,

Most importantly,

He also fulfilled his promise to Lu Bu.

Now that Yuan Shao has committed suicide,

Yuan Shao's territory,

Nine times out of ten it has fallen into the hands of the state,

There are only a few remnants left,

It's just a dying throe.

Turning his head to look south,

That's where Xuzhou is,

At the same time, it is also the place where Lu Bu is now,

Lu Bu's arrival in Xuzhou,

He had learned from the dark group,

Originally, after attacking Yuan Shao,

Xu Shu is ready to immediately turn around and merge with the state,

However, after learning the news of Lu Bu's southward departure,

I also learned something from the dark group,

Xu Shu decided to change his mind.

He said to Zhao Yun next to him:

"Zilong, have you ever heard of the phrase 'will be subject to the life of the king outside'?"

Hearing Xu Shu's question,

Zhao Yun's pupils shrank slightly,

Originally, today was the day when the army was preparing for its return,

But Xu Shu refused to give the order,

Zhao Yun was already a little puzzled,

Hearing him say this at this moment,

I couldn't help but ask:

"Sir? Are you going to prepare ......? ”

"Gongsun Du!"

"Gongsun Du!?"

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu with wide eyes,

"Sir, are you going to continue to attack Liaodong County north?"

Xu Shu turned his head to look at Zhao Yun,

Smiled and nodded,

"That's right, take this opportunity to take down the entire Liaodong in one go."

Zhao Yun's brows furrowed tightly,

"But Liaodong has been run by Gongsun Du for many years, and it is already an iron bucket, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it a country within a country. After all, Yuan Shao's territory has not been completely stabilized now......"

Xu Shu stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Yun's words,

With a smug smile on his face,

"It is precisely because of this that we must take this opportunity to continue the attack!"

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows,

He seemed to understand what Xu Shu meant,

He asked:

"What does Sir mean that Gongsun Du didn't expect our army to suddenly attack at this moment?"

Xu Shu stroked his beard and nodded,

"Yes, surprise and surprise!"

"Then if we want to fight a surprise war, I'm afraid you can't lead the army forward, sir, what do you think of our 'going to worry about the army'?"

A shy smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Yun's face,

A pair of hands are also rubbing each other constantly,

He never took the initiative to ask for anything,

Now I want to ask for this errand,

I feel a little embarrassed.

Xu Shu gently patted Zhao Yun's shoulder,

But he didn't speak, Wu Jiuwen

Lifted his feet and walked out of the tent,

Zhao Yun, who was a little stunned, looked at Xu Shu's back in a daze,

If you want to ask,

But I couldn't say it.

"This time, 'Go to the Worry Army' will definitely be the main force, so don't worry, go back and prepare."

Before Xu Shu walked out of the tent,

Left such a sentence,

Immediately let Zhao Yun come to the spirit,

He hurriedly stood up and followed Xu Shu out of the tent.

Today, the wind in the north is somewhat fierce,

The hair is blown in the wind,

But Zhao Yun's heart was also much lightened by this wind.

Xu Shu stood in front with his hands in his hands,

He looked up at the clouds in the sky,

The wind in the sky is stronger,

Blowing those clouds to pieces,

It looks like a war.

Xu Shu said softly:

"Zilong, do you look at the current scenery in the sky, does it look like a war?"

Zhao Yun raised his head and looked at the sky,

At this moment it is already a blue sky,

Except for a few scattered clouds,

The whole sky is only an endless blue,

He looked at Xu Shu with some doubts,

I didn't quite understand what he meant.

Xu Shu looked at the sky and said:

"What is the purpose of war? Have you thought about it? ”

"Purpose?"

Zhao Yun was even more puzzled,

I feel a little unable to keep up with Xu Shu's thinking jump,

However, he still answered Xu Shu's question honestly.

"Yun thinks that war is for peace, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the elderly and children will no longer be displaced, and the young people will have land to cultivate."

Xu Shu nodded slightly,

Obviously, he was very satisfied with Zhao Yun's answer,

He then asked:

"How, then, can peace be achieved?"

"How?"

Zhao Yun's handsome face couldn't help but wrinkle,

He felt that Xu Shu was a little strange today,

But he didn't know how to persuade him,

Because of Xu Shu's intelligence,

They are people who admire immensely,

But because of this,

I don't know how to answer his question.

Not to mention to comfort him.

Xu Shu didn't really wait for Zhao Yun's answer,

He paused for a moment, then spoke:

"Balance, as long as balance can be achieved in all aspects, peace can be achieved."

"Balance?"

After Zhao Yun heard Xu Shu's words,

More confused,

He really couldn't figure it out,

What is the balance between this, and that peace,

What kind of connection is there?

Xu Shu turned his head and saw the confusion on Zhao Yun's face,

smiled slightly,

Pulling Zhao Yun to wander around the camp,

"Let's take the simplest example. Needless to say, it was the Yellow Turban Uprising a few years ago, what do you think is the root cause? ”

Zhao Yun opened his mouth,

For a long time, he didn't say anything.

Xu Shu looked at him suspiciously,

This kind of superficial question,

It's impossible for Zhao Yun not to answer,

But after seeing the other party's face,

I suddenly understood the reason,

"Then tell me, what was the reason for the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising?"

Sure enough, after Zhao Yun heard Xu Shu's new question,

His face was much soothed,

Zhao Yun has been deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty and patriotism since he was a child.

Although due to Lu Bu's deliberate influence,

makes his life not like Lu Bu's previous life,

Loyal to the Han Dynasty,

But at least, psychologically,

Or there is a lot of awe for the Han Dynasty,

Therefore, Xu Shu asked him to comment on the Yellow Turban Uprising,

He couldn't say anything about it,

After all, the reason for the Yellow Turban uprising,

Everybody knows,

That is the court is weakened,

At the same time, I don't think about rectifying the dynasty,

Those in power are only greedy for pleasure,

makes ordinary people miserable,

This forced the people to embark on the road of rebellion,

As for what many preach,

said that the Yellow Turban Uprising was caused by the demagogy of the Zhang Jiao brothers and others,

That's purely the court's prevarication,

But whoever has a little brain,

can tell.

"Qin II was tyrannical, poor and extravagant, and the people were not able to make a living, which made Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others rebel."

Xu Shu nodded and said:

"Since ancient times, the disaster of chaos and death does not come from the four yi, but from the small people. Qin Zhi was strong, annexed the Six Kingdoms, and disrupted the world, not the Six Kingdoms, but Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the first two small people. ”

After a pause, he added:

"The people are the cornerstone of the family and the country. Officials, the pillars of the country. Neither can be discarded, but relatively speaking, the people, who are always in a lower position, are often the one who is oppressed and sacrificed. But there is also a limit, and once the limit is exceeded, and the people are oppressed beyond the limit of what they can bear, then the people will definitely revolt. This is the balance gaffe. ”

After listening to Xu Shu's explanation,

Zhao Yun nodded as if he didn't understand,

Although it's not very clear yet,

But at least I got a general idea.

"War, in fact, is another kind of balance. It's just that at this time, the two opposing sides are no longer officials and people, but princes and princes, and even countries and countries. When the balance between two or more parties is lost, one side will inevitably jump out and provoke war, either for the sake of expansion and increase its own interests, or for the sake of resisting oppression and seeking survival, for different reasons, but the purpose is the same, that is, the need to establish a new balance. Can you understand this? ”

Zhao Yun turned his head sideways and pondered for a long time,

Then he nodded again.

Xu Shu then continued,

"Although the war in the Central Plains is chaotic now, it has generally tended to be peaceful. Just like the sky at this moment, although there are still some scattered clouds, but on the whole, it is already a good weather without clouds. ”

Zhao Yun vaguely understood something,

Tentatively, he asked:

"So, sir, I mean, we should take this opportunity to clear some corner obstacles for the Lord, and make the entire Central Plains become 'cloudless' as soon as possible?"

Xu Shu smiled and nodded,

Without hesitation, he praised:

"It is worthy of Zhao Zilong, who is both wise and brave, and he can understand it at one point!"

Zhao Yun's handsome face flushed slightly,

Hurriedly scratched his head and said:

"However, what Mr. said about balance, once I have cleared all the obstacles, is this also a balance?"

"This is natural, when one side has no opponent, isn't it from the perspective of the overall environment, it can be regarded as a balance?"

"Oh, I see."

Zhao Yun nodded in sudden realization.

"But ......"

However, Xu Shu's next turn,

But Zhao Yunshu's brows tightened again.

"The things that Fang just said are just talking about the Central Plains."

Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Xu Shu,

I didn't react for a while,

"Could it be that in addition to the Central Plains, there are ......"

Halfway through the words,

Zhao Yun closed his mouth by himself,

It occurred to him suddenly,

Above this world,

In addition to the Central Plains,

And there are countless countries,

Originally, he only knew about the grasslands and the countries of the Western Regions.

But since following Lu Bu,

He had heard Lu Bu tell many novel anecdotes,

I also know that the Central Plains is relative to the whole world,

It's just a drop in the ocean,

In addition, in recent years, I have personally come into contact with other countries such as the Japanese country.

Halfway through the words,

I remembered these countries,

Therefore, I vaguely understood the meaning of Xu Shu's words.

"So, sir, what you want to say is that what we are doing now is to be able to deal with the next war against those forces outside the Central Plains?"
