Sleepless nights.

Next.

Three poles on the sun.

When Chu Yi opened his eyes, he only felt refreshed, as if he had inexhaustible strength in his body.

Meng Qing curled up in Chu Yi's arms, with a faint smile, still asleep, and didn't know if he had dreamed of something happy.

Chu Yi got out of bed gently, quickly put on his clothes, and then tiptoed out of the door, for fear of waking Meng Qing up.

With the heavy halberd in his hand, Chu Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he was full of energy.

Dancing wind and clouds, like thunder, Chu Yi slashed vertically with a halberd, showing the state of the chain, dancing back and forth.

Call~

After practicing the halberd method, Chu Yi exhaled lightly, and looked at a girl next to him helplessly, the girl was beautiful and eccentric.

"You came to the Heavenly Desolate City without permission, and you didn't tell your father, if he misunderstood, you weren't afraid of causing a dispute between my southern Xinjiang and the Nanling barbarians?"

Meng Yu didn't answer, but just diligently handed Chu Yi a wet towel, and when Chu Yi wiped his sweat, he looked at him pitifully.

Chu Yi pursed his lips, looked at it for a long time, patted his forehead, and had to compromise: "I can admit and agree to this marriage, and then resist the pressure from your father's side for you, but Zilong's side, you have to handle it yourself, and he has to agree to this matter, although I am his lord, but this kind of thing is not easy for him to decide." ”

"What I pay attention to in southern Xinjiang is that you and I are willing, and the two are happy......"

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Although Meng Yu was very ashamed of Chu Yi's words in his heart, he was still overjoyed when he received Chu Yi's support, and his pretty face was flushed.

"Go, and tell me where you're going, I'll send a rider to escort you, you don't have to be so reckless, if something goes wrong, your sister doesn't know how sad it is."

Chu Yi was a little helpless, in the face of this eccentric elf beautiful girl, he was also helpless, doing things in a hurry, and completely desperate.

Nanling to Tianhuang City, that distance is not close.

When Meng Yu heard this, he ran towards Zhao Yun's mansion without hesitation, seeing Chu Yi angry.

"My lord."

Just when Chu Yi was secretly annoyed and ashamed, Hu Che'er came quickly, hugged his fists and saluted: "Chen Liu, Cao Cao's envoy Cao Ren, still hasn't left after arriving at the Heavenly Desolation, it is said that there is something to discuss with the lord, and the military advisor will teach me to come, so that the lord will see him after dinner." ”

"Cao Mengde? Cao Zixiao. ”

Chu Yi's eyes narrowed: "Let's go, take a look." ”

When Chu Yi and Hu Che'er entered the meeting hall of Tianhuang City, they saw that it was already full of people, including the three giants of Southern Xinjiang, including Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yun, and Wang Meng, and Lu Wenlong, Yang Yansi and others were also separated on both sides.

Chu Yi looked determined, sat in the first place, but secretly laughed in his heart, let you go to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun is here now, I, you are looking for it this time.

Chu Yi nodded, everyone sat down, and after a while, a man with a resolute expression and a burly figure came to the hall.

"Cao Ren, meet Chu Shuai." Cao Ren's blazing gaze scanned all directions, and finally looked directly at Chu Yi, neither humble nor arrogant, and hugged his fists and saluted.

"No courtesy."

Chu Yi went straight to the point and said: "I thought that General Cao came here just to congratulate Brother Meng De, but now he wants to see me, I don't know what you are doing?" ”

Cao Ren said: "Since Chu Shuai's debut, he has been invincible and invincible, and everyone knows it. ”

"General Cao, don't praise it falsely, Chu Yi is just a little bite, how can he get into the eyes of Brother Meng De."

Chu Yi was humble in his mouth, but he was comfortable in his heart, even Cao Mengde admired his brother's eloquence and strategy, it seemed that it would not work if he didn't float.

"My lord's military advisor Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, I wonder if the drama military advisor can know?" After a pause, Cao Ren asked Xi Zhicai again.

Xi Zhicai's expression changed: "Fengxiao turned out to be at Cao Mengde's place." In the same year, Xi and Feng Xiao entered the academy to study, became close friends, and then traveled the world together, studying in the north and south, Feng Xiao and me, have a very close personal relationship, and naturally know. ”

"It is rumored that the drama army has passed the poison of the Nanling miasma, which has caused the mind to be weak and often exhausted, if it weren't for Chu Shuai and General Zhao to find Qingming grass in Qingming Mountain to suppress it, I am afraid that my life will not be long."

Cao Ren said slowly: "Our army's military division Guo Fengxiao once traveled to Nanling with the drama military division, and the drama military division is the poison of the miasma, and how can our army's military division Guo Fengxiao be safe and sound? ”

After changing his tone again, Cao Ren said solemnly: "I can't hide it, I heard that Chu Shuai got three Qingming grasses in Qingming Mountain, used one plant, and the remaining two, Cao Ren came to ask for medicine on the order of my lord." ”

Chu Yi was slightly stunned, his thoughts were flying in his heart, Xi Zhicai had already broken free from the shackles of fate, taken off his weak body, and his lifespan was at least the same as that of ordinary people, but Guo Jia was the same as Xi Zhicai, and he also needed Qingming grass.

"Although Qingming grass is precious and difficult to find, it is not difficult to see it in the depths of Qingming Mountain, why doesn't General Cao go to Qingming Mountain to find it?" Chu Yi asked.

"Chu Shuai doesn't know, not to mention that tigers and leopards are rampant in the depths of Qingming Mountain, poisonous insects are all over the ground, and the danger is extremely high, and if the cloud is sealed today, I am not allowed to pass through the pass, the path is dangerous, there are many dangers, it is difficult to enter, and Cao Ren is also helpless."

Cao Ren looked helpless: "And my lord specially sent me to befriend Chu Shuai, and I am willing to form an alliance with Chu Yi, and the two will work together, not attacking each other, and it is not just for Qingming Cao." ”

Chu Yi fell silent.

Now Chu Yi has two choices.

The first choice is to kill Cao Ren, a first-class commander and a little defense expert with not weak martial arts, and if he sees death, he drags Guo Jia to death, and completely turns his face with Cao Cao.

The second choice is to befriend Cao Cao and give Qingming grass.

Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan can almost be said to be the three leaders of the Cao clan, and they are foreign generals such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who are more than these three.

Not to mention Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost talent and resourceful, can be said to be the first strategist under Cao Cao.

Cao Ren saw that Chu Yi was a little hesitant, and naturally didn't know that Chu Yi was going to kill him, but thought that the reason for not giving Qingming grass was that Qingming grass was precious, there was no price in the market, and Chu Yi had no dealings with Cao Cao, one was in the Central Plains and the other was in Southern Xinjiang, separated by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, who would be willing to sell your face.

Although Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia are good friends, they are now their own masters, but how can they interfere with Chu Yi's decision.

"Chu Shuai doesn't have to hesitate, my lord sent me, and he didn't force it, but decided to buy it at double the market price, and gave Chu Shuai a hundred beauties in the Central Plains, a thousand quintals of grain and rice, and gold and silver, how about it?" Cao Ren said.

Chu Yi listened to this, and almost vomited blood, I am in charge of the land of southern Xinjiang, and with the help of the Xiao family, will I still be short of money? Still double? Ten times, a hundred times, I don't care, a thousand? Ahem, that's something to consider.

The main thing is that there are 100 beauties in the Central Plains, I will check it a priori, if the quality is okay, it doesn't hurt to give you one.

In the end, after thinking about it again, Chu Yi still preferred to form an alliance with Cao Cao.

According to the news from Chen Liuqianye, Cao Cao now occupies Chen Liufu County, and is respected by the people of the merchant family in the city, and his power has spread to Qian County, and his influence is enough to dominate the entire Tianyan Prefecture.

and his subordinates Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun bravely crowned the three armies; Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's generals; Cao Hong and Cao Xiu did not grind Baoyu; Zhu Ling, Lu Zhao, Li Tong and other generals are skilled in bows and horses, loyal, and have Guo Fengxiao, a jealous ghost talent who can withstand 100,000 male soldiers, in their hands, which makes Chu Yi have to think about it.

With this lineup, although Chu Yi is not afraid, he doesn't want to cause a commotion.

After all, now southern Xinjiang has not yet turned to the world and is qualified to be an enemy on all sides, and now that southern Xinjiang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, it is not impossible to have one more friend.

Cao Cao is not one of those opponents that Chu Yi encountered in the early stage, this is the first bull in the Heavenly Continent with a basic command of more than 100, it is terrifying to think about.

"Zhicai, what do you think should be done with this matter?" After Chu Yi ordered Hu Che'er to lead Cao Ren down to rest, he habitually asked Xi Zhicai.

At the same time, his eyes also swept to Wang Meng, Zhao Yun and others, which meant brainstorming, and everyone could talk about their thoughts.

Xi Zhicai shook the Yunqing treasure fan slightly, and a cool atmosphere surrounded the body: "Cao Mengde forcibly seized the rich land of Chenliu and Qian counties, and the Shi family fully funded it, and the people followed it wholeheartedly, and the soldiers were brave, which is a force that cannot be underestimated, and may be able to stand on the Central Plains in the future." ”

Before Xi Zhicai said more, Dong Ju, who was the best friend of Xi Zhicai, gave up his hand: "The vertical and horizontal theory takes long-distance friendship and close attack as the primary implementation plan, my southern Xinjiang has no conflict of interest with the Cao family, and the alliance is also feasible if I am friendly with the Cao family. ”

Wang Meng saw that Chu Yi was still hesitant to make a decision, and he also came out, and said solemnly: "Befriending the Cao family is beneficial to my southern Xinjiang and not harmful, but in today's form, the Cao family needs my southern Xinjiang even more, and my southern Xinjiang is now sweeping the barbarians in the south, chasing Yuan Shao twice, defeating the Hao army, making the people of Tianyi and Tianjing frightened!" Cao's family, although there is a small trend, there is no need to stick it upside down. ”

"Since Wang Shuai led the troops in my southern Xinjiang army, in the face of nearly three times the number of barbarian soldiers, it is also five points of victory and defeat, and then Wang Shuai was condemned and imprisoned in Tianyong, and the lord took over the position of commander, fighting 300,000 warriors, cutting 100,000, breaking 100,000, and descending 100,000, and fighting Tianwu more than 200,000 elites, cutting 50,000, breaking 50,000, and reducing 50,000, the power of its momentum is still used to send elixir?"

Xi Zhicai changed color slightly, glanced at Wang Meng, and said: "I didn't think that General Wang would not only lead the army to fight and govern the place, and say that the world is first-class, but even the diplomacy is also the first to say." ”

Chu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai, whose face changed slightly, and suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.

Southern Xinjiang has experienced the second barbarian expedition in one year, the rebellion of the scholars, Tianwu went south three baptisms, and now it has transformed from a python into a real dragon, the only daughter of the barbarian king is married to the commander of the southern Xinjiang army, it is difficult to have a war in the future, the Tianjing water army is disobedient and disrespectful, and there is no movement for a long time, the elite soldiers of Tianwu have been defeated repeatedly, retreat to Wuguan, Tianyi has a steep road, difficult to transport, it can be said that today's southern Xinjiang has been invincible.

There is really no need to lower your face to make friends with Cao Cao, a newly rising little prince, but no matter what Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia say, they are also people from the academy, and they also travel the world together, and there is nothing to say about their feelings, and in terms of profit, the current form is indeed to befriend Cao Cao as the best policy.
