The book is picked up again.

After Li Zhi and the others frolicked and came to the gate of Cao's mansion, Cao Cao suddenly looked at his own plaque and was stunned at the door of Cao's mansion.

Seeing this, Li Zhi turned his head and asked with a puzzled face, "Brother Mengde, why are you standing here?" Do you think there's something wrong? ”

"Hmm" After Cao Cao nodded, he looked up at the plaque of his mansion and muttered to himself: "Brother Wei thinks that there must be a lot of knife and axe hands arranged here, and after Brother Wei enters, he will chop his brother into minced meat!" ”

As he said this, his eyes did not take off the plaque of his mansion.

Of course, he didn't think that there were any sword and axe players in Cao's mansion, he just said this, just to ease the atmosphere.

Because since Cao Cao came to the door of Cao's mansion, his heart was suddenly full of emotion.

When he left, Cao Cao was in high spirits and felt that the world was under his control!

And when he came back, he was so embarrassed that he almost didn't even save his own life.

This made Cao Cao's heart very complicated,

And no matter how he changes, his mansion is still standing here, still sheltering everyone from the wind and rain, and it has never changed.

Cao Cao's expression was a little dazed after seeing his still old mansion.

He suddenly had the feeling as if he had never left, but had just gone out for some wine and came back.

After Li Zhi saw the look in Cao Cao's eyes, he knew that he must have touched the scene, and he suffered another defeat, and he felt uncomfortable, so he was stunned here.

After figuring out what Cao Cao was thinking, Li Zhi came to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Meng De, when did you become so sentimental?"

Although you did suffer defeat this time, this defeat was not a crime of war, but Dong Zhuo was too shameless and threatened you with His Majesty, and you had no choice but to withdraw from the army.

If it is a real battle, Dong Zhuo is definitely not your opponent!

So, you don't have to be too upset.

Moreover, Brother Meng De, whom I know below, is a bold and free person.

Could it be that after suffering a defeat, you changed your personality? That's too fragile, isn't it?! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi's eyes were full of disdain.

There are two reasons why Li Zhi is so joking about Cao Cao.

First, he wanted to persuade Cao Cao and make Cao Cao pick himself up again.

Second, he wanted to ease the atmosphere between the two.

Since Cao Cao came back, he has received Li Zhi's favor everywhere, and as a result, Cao Cao owes Li Zhi more and more.

It's still the same sentence, "Grace becomes enmity"!

Once Cao Cao felt that he owed Li Zhi too much, then he would not dare to face Li Zhi again.

And once this happens, the relationship between him and Li Zhi will slowly drift apart!

Therefore, since Li Zhi met Cao Cao, he made fun of him everywhere, and the two of them played like friends everywhere.

In this way, Cao Cao will unconsciously get close to Li Zhi.

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he immediately came back to his senses, glared at him angrily, and said: "Being a brother is just a momentary emotion, how did it come to your mouth, and your brother has become such an unbearable person?!" ”

Cao Cao is an extremely smart person, and he can see from Li Zhi's words and deeds that Li Zhi is trying to ease the atmosphere between them so that he is not so embarrassed.

Therefore, Cao Cao also received Li Zhi's kindness and followed his words.

At this moment, the two of them have also regained their former cordiality.

After Li Zhidi heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately understood that Cao Cao already knew his plans.

Therefore, he said with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Mengde, you are still so smart!"

Well, this is not a place to talk, I'll talk about it after I'm in the house.

And then there's ......

Brother Meng De, you better go take a bath first, otherwise, you will be smoked to death!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi laughed and walked towards Cao's mansion.

Seeing this, Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile and also entered Cao's mansion.

After Cao Cao entered the mansion, he did not follow Li Zhi to the hall, but went to his room to bathe and change clothes.

After waiting for an hour, Cao Cao came to the hall.

At this time, Li Zhi was drinking and having fun with Guo Jia, and after seeing Cao Cao coming here, Li Zhi hurriedly greeted: "Brother Meng De, come on, I'll have a drink together, it can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for Brother Meng De." ”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he was not polite, sat on the side of several cases, picked up the wine, and drank it all.

Then, he put down his wine glass, looked at Li Zhi, and quipped: "Brother Xingzhi, I'm afraid you've made a mistake, right?!"

This is my brother's mansion, and if you want to say that you are chasing the wind and washing the dust, it should also be for your brother to receive the wind and wash the dust. ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao filled himself with a bowl of wine, and after saluting Li Zhi, he said: "Brother Xingzhi, I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss it very much in my heart, come, I'll wait to drink this cup." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao didn't wait for Li Zhi to react, so he drank the wine in his hand!

Although his face looked very free and easy, there was a trace of bitterness and decadence in the depths of his eyes!

After all, he failed, one way or another!

Moreover, because of his failure this time, not only did he lose his reputation, but his military power was about to be lost!

Moreover, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't even be able to keep his own troops and horses!

The princes are not good at stubble, and when they ask for military power like Cao Cao, they will definitely fight Cao Cao's own soldiers and horses!

After all, the soldiers and horses of Cao Cao's headquarters turned out to be the elite in Li Zhi's hands, and they were much better than other people's troops.

So, they will definitely salivate over these soldiers and horses.

And Cao Cao had no way to keep these soldiers and horses at all!

Because, before that, Cao Cao forced the other princes to oppress the strength of the army in order to twist the strength of the army together, so that they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

If Cao Cao had been victorious, then the other princes would not dare to say anything in the end.

Everyone understands the truth that the winner is king, just like Li Zhi, a general who always wins, no one dares to offend him!

However, once Cao Cao fails, then others will have a chance to take advantage of it.

But Cao Cao didn't dare to stop them, because once they stopped, the other princes would definitely attribute the reason for this defeat to Cao Cao as soon as possible!

Moreover, they will also spread the news of Cao Cao's plague all over the world!

At that time, Cao Cao's reputation will be completely stinky!

Therefore, if Cao Cao does not hand over the power of the army, it will definitely lose both!

And in order not to lose both, Cao Cao and the princes reached a wordless tacit understanding.

Cao Cao relinquished military power, and the princes spread the blame for the defeat to everyone.

In this way, it can be said that everyone is happy.

And the only one who suffered was Li Zhi, because Cao Cao's headquarters originally belonged to Li Zhi.

Because of this, Cao Cao was so uncomfortable when facing Li Zhi.

Li Zhi saw that after Cao Cao finished speaking, he immediately drank the wine, obviously drinking sullenly.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

Then, he smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De feels guilty for 'losing' those soldiers and horses that you gave you?" ”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he slammed his hand holding the wine glass.

Then, he nodded with shame on his face and said, "That's right!

For the brother, let the virtuous brother of the line disappoint! Come! This glass of wine can be regarded as an atonement for the brother to the virtuous brother who walks! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao filled the empty wine glass again, and then drank it all!

Seeing this, Li Zhi's brows furrowed tightly.

You know, the wine glass they are using now is a large glass that can hold four or five taels of wine!

Moreover, the wine in their wine glasses is the high-grade wine brewed by Li Zhi!

Now, Cao Cao actually drank three cups in a row, that is to say, Cao Cao had drunk more than a pound of liquor just now!

If it weren't for Cao Cao's good drinking, he would probably have fallen down at this time! After all, he drank too much!

Although Li Zhi also knew that Cao Cao was deliberately getting himself drunk.

However, Li Zhi didn't want Cao Cao to get drunk because he still had something to discuss with Cao Cao.

Therefore, he immediately stood up, came to Cao Cao's side, grabbed his hand holding the wine glass, stared straight at him, and said, "Brother Meng De, don't be in a hurry to drink first, I have something important to discuss with you next." ”

"Oh?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he put down his wine glass and asked with curiosity on his face, "What's the matter?" As long as my brother can help, he will never shirk! ”

Cao Cao felt ashamed of Li Zhi, and he was very eager to help Li Zhi.

Therefore, before Li Zhi could tell what was going on, he agreed.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi did not immediately say anything about the alliance, but asked about Cao Cao's future plans: "Brother Mengde, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"Intended?" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "What are your plans for brother!"

This failure made Brother Wei a little breathless!

So, I'm going to lurk for a while for my brother, sort out my mood, and then talk about anything else. ”

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, his brows immediately furrowed.

He didn't expect that things had come to such a point that Cao Cao had not yet had the heart to dominate the world, which surprised Li Zhi.

You must know that in the original history, Cao Cao, after the failure of the pursuit of Dong Zhuo, immediately tried his best to occupy a piece of territory, and then slowly encroached on the world.

Now it's good, Cao Cao was hit because of a failure, and wanted to live in seclusion, which was really beyond Li Zhi's expectations?

However, Cao Cao is Li Zhi's chosen partner, and Li Zhi will never allow him to be so decadent!

Therefore, after Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he immediately said: "Brother Meng De, are you just watching Dong Zhuoyao raise his might?

Haven't you thought about regaining your strength and defeating Dong Zhuo again? ”

"Alas......" Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, picked up the wine glass, and said with a decadent face while playing: "Why haven't you thought about it?!"

But Brother Wei now has neither land, nor soldiers and horses, and even no money to support soldiers and horses!

Brother has nothing now!

Even if you have great ambitions for your brother, you can't do anything if you don't have the capital! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao sighed deeply.

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he nodded clearly.

It turned out that Cao Cao was not depressed, but because he had no capital, so he wanted to lurk for a period of time and look for an opportunity to make a comeback!

In the original history, after Cao Cao failed to pursue Dong Zhuo, he immediately had a friend Chen Liutai guard Zhang Miao and provided him with a piece of territory.

In this way, Cao Cao will make a comeback!

But now it is different, after Li Zhi met Cao Cao, he completely changed the trajectory of Cao Cao's life.

Although Cao Cao and Zhang Miao knew each other, they were only general acquaintances, and it was unlikely that Zhang Miao would hand over Chen Liu to Cao Cao again.

In this way, Cao Cao will not have the capital to make a comeback!

After thinking about it, Li Zhi glanced at Cao Cao inexplicably and asked, "Brother Mengde, what do you think of Xuzhou?" ”

"Xuzhou?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Zhi's words.

Then, he nodded and said: "Xuzhou is indeed a good place, not only is it very rich, but also the Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou are also famous all over the world!"

In the process of this crusade against Dong Zhuo, Danyang Bing did his brother a great favor! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao asked with a little curiosity: "I don't know why the virtuous brother suddenly mentioned Xuzhou?" ”

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he touched his chin and said meaningfully: "Brother Meng De, in the process of the princes discussing Dong this time, Tao Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, unfortunately passed away, and now the position of the assassin of Xuzhou is vacant!"

And I feel that according to Brother Meng De's morality and talent, he is suitable for the position of Xuzhou Assassin! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao with a smile to see how he reacted.

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his eyes first lit up, and then his expression darkened.

Then, he shook his head a little decadently and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it is impossible to become a Xuzhou assassin for a brother!"

If Brother Wei wants to become the assassin of Xuzhou, he must get His Majesty's holy decree.

And now, His Majesty is under Dong Zhuo's control, according to Dong Zhuo's hatred for his brother, he will never let his brother become the assassin of Xuzhou! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao's face was full of depression.

At the beginning, Tao Qian specifically looked for Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could take more care of his two sons after he was a hundred years old.

In exchange, Tao Qian completely threw himself into Cao Cao.

In other words, when Tao Qian first met the alliance, he already recognized Cao Cao as the master!

Strictly speaking, Xuzhou actually belongs to Cao Cao!

However, in the absence of a holy decree, Cao Cao could not justifiably receive Xuzhou.

"Hehe......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Meng De, don't care if Dong Zhuo is willing to give you a holy decree or not."

I'll ask you a word next, would you like to become the assassin of Xuzhou?! ”

"Nonsense!" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he glanced at him angrily and said, "The biggest official who has ever been for my brother is only the lieutenant of a county.

Now, there is a chance to become the assassin of a state, and of course I am willing to be a brother!

However, can Dong Zhuo be willing?! ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Li Zhi snorted coldly, looked in the direction of Chang'an, squinted his eyes and said, "He has to be willing to be willing, and he has to be willing if he is not willing!"

He has no strength to fight back now, and if he really doesn't want to, then don't blame him for being ruthless!

You know, there is no loss in the soldiers and horses in the next hand!

If he doesn't want to, then he will immediately send troops to surround Chang'an!

When the time comes, maybe he will lose even more!

Moreover, I believe that Li Ru also understands this truth, so as long as he writes a letter, he will definitely be able to ask for the position of Xuzhou Thorn History! ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi turned his gaze to Cao Cao and asked, "Brother Meng De, what are your plans to do after you become the assassin of Xuzhou?"

Will you continue to save Your Majesty, or will you ......"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi's eyes were solemn, he stared at Cao Cao directly, and asked, "Or do you want to dominate the world?!! ”
