After thinking about it again and again,

Chen Gong finally opened his mouth:

"Lord ......"

Hearing that Chen Gong also opened his mouth,

Cao Cao's brows furrowed even tighter,

Turning his head to look at Chen Gong,

The momentum of the forcible made Chen Gong suffocated,

swallowed his saliva, but still stubbornly said:

"My lord, Lord Xun's words are exactly what the lower officials think. This revenge for killing his father is not shared, but it is not a cause for mercy, the lord has already been angry with many people, is it ......"

Cao Cao took a deep breath,

Exhaling turbidity heavily,

As if to vomit out all the indignation in his breast,

After a long time, I slowly opened my eyes,

At this time, the faint anger has all disappeared,

I don't know if it's really eliminated or suppressed,

Cao Cao said:

"I guess that's a lot of fun."

Xun Yu and Chen Gong heard this,

bowed his head and didn't dare to answer,

Cao Cao continued:

"Well, send an order to Xiahoudun not to do anything to ordinary people......"

The two of them raised their heads, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces,

Cao Cao pretended not to see,

Shen Dao:

"However, Tao Gongzu and Zhang Min, the two of them, exterminated their nine clans and hung them above the gate of Kaiyang City!"

Cao Cao's concession was also well thought out,

The previous slaughter of the city did have a bad breath,

Now although there is still a deep resentment towards Tao Qian and others,

But it's also a lot more soothing,

Under the rage,

Many things are known to be harmful,

But I can't think about it and worry a lot.

Now that I've calmed down a bit,

What needs to be done is still to be done,

The mess you have caused can only be cleaned up by yourself,

Cao Cao's consciousness is still very high,

However, if you want him to apologize for this incident,

Or is it guilty,

Then it's absolutely impossible,

'It is better for me to bear a burden to a man than to a man to bear me a burden to him.' ’

This popular sentence in later generations,

It is precisely from the mouth of Cao Cao.

Xun Yu and Chen Gong glanced at each other again,

I saw a relief in the eyes of the other party,

The two of them said in unison:

"The lord is wise!"

This is already the best-case scenario.

As for the consequences of Tao Qian and Zhang Min's rao,

Only they choose the wrong people,

Such consequences will also be borne by them.

Even if everyone knows very well,

There is a high probability that Tao Qian is not the initiator of this matter.

And they're almost certain too,

Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes?

But there is no way,

Who made Cao Cao want to continue to develop,

So far, the best breakthrough is Xuzhou,

And the principal of Xuzhou is precisely him, Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu,

In response to that folk saying,

"The yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants, and it became instead of."

Cao Cao waved his hand,

Turning his gaze to the topographic map again,

He asked:

"What is the movement of the Xuzhou army now?"

Chen Gong picked up the wooden pole,

Refers to the road ahead of the location of Xiahoudun's army marked in front of the square:

"Now the Xuzhou army has stationed 8,000 foot soldiers in Xiangben, and Tao Qian himself personally led 30,000 troops to sit in Tan County, and at the same time, in Langya State, nearly 10,000 troops have gathered near the county seat of Zhangguo, and there are also signs of army mobilization near Xiapi City."

Cao Cao sneered and said:

"Tao Gongzu's reaction was quite fast."

Groaned slightly,

Cao Cao quickly spoke:

"Ordered Cao Hong to garrison Hanoi County and Henan Yin, and the main force shifted to the north, Yu Ban led 10,000 troops to Yingchuan and Chen County to garrison, obeyed Cao Ren's orders, and cooperated with his 5,000 headquarters to garrison Qian County to guard against Yuan Shu in Runan. In addition, Xiahou Yuan led 10,000 troops from Peiguo to Xiapi, Li Dian led 5,000 troops to garrison Pengchengguo, and Le Jin led 10,000 troops to rush to Xiahoudun's aid. The granaries around the country are fully supplying several fronts, and strive to conquer Xuzhou in the shortest possible time! ”

A dazzling array of appointments was issued,

Chen Gong nodded incessantly,

Once you have memorized it completely,

Suddenly his brows furrowed slightly,

Looking at Cao Cao suspiciously, he asked:

"Lord, in this way, the defense of our army's western front and the northern front is relatively empty, although there are 10,000 troops of General Cao Hong, and there are still 10,000 horses left in Yanzhou, but the north of our army borders Jizhou and Qingzhou, and many places can be used as a breakthrough for the other side to drive straight in, just more than 20,000 defenders, obviously not enough to prevent such a large area. What's more, how can Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and the others let go of this excellent opportunity? ”

Cao Cao smiled confidently when he heard this:

"Yuan Benchu'er is resourceful and indecisive, and when he makes up his mind to come to occupy Benyi, I'm afraid we have already eaten Xuzhou dry, not to mention, even if he can really go south decisively, the newly defeated Yuan Shaojun also needs to be prepared, at least it will take more than two months, retreat 10,000 steps, and really desperately go south, and there are 10,000 Tuntian soldiers in Dongping Kingdom and Taishan County respectively, which is enough to block Yuan Shaojun's southward movement in a short period of time."

After a pause, he saw a sudden look on Chen Gong's face,

Cao Cao continued:

"As for Lu Bu, he would never make such a down-the-earth move! I firmly believe in that! You're right? Wen Ruo. ”

Cao Cao not only had to cut himself out,

At the same time, he also opened his mouth to ask Xun Yu on the side,

In Chen Gong's astonished eyes,

I want to be cautious and meticulous Xun Wenruo,

It turned out to be a little bit of a confident nod,

As if to reassure Chen Gong,

Xun Yu also spoke:

"General Zilian once had a relationship with Lu Fengxian, and his temperament was bold, and he had a good relationship with Lu Bu before, and the lord deliberately put General Zilian in Hanoi County, also to show favor to Lu Bu. Lu Bujun will definitely receive this signal, so there is no need to worry too much about Bingzhou, at least, before Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are eliminated, we don't have to worry that Bingzhou will stab him in the back. ”

Xun Yu's explanation,

Chen Gong couldn't help but be a little more curious about the famous Lu Bu.

But this is not the right time to ask about this.

As long as Chen Gong swallowed back the question that came to his mouth,

Just wait for the future when there is leisure,

Ask Xun Yu for advice in private,

At that moment, Chen Gong put down the wooden pole in his hand,

Salute respectfully to Cao Cao,

Turning and walking out of the council chamber,

I went to give orders and prepare for the dispatch of troops.

Waiting for Chen Gong to leave with his front foot,

Cao Cao then asked:

"Wen Ruo, do you think there's anything else you need to add?"

Xun Yu raised his head and looked at the topographic map,

He whispered:

"Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, and Le Jin are all fierce generals in the army, and the three of them are responsible for containing the defense of Xuzhou, and with the attack of General Xiahou Xuan, Xuzhou must be able to reach within reach, and the southern front is garrisoned by the well-known General Zixiao, supplemented by the warlike General Yu Ban, and the south can also be guaranteed. And there are 10,000 troops in Yanzhou in the center to respond, in case of emergency, the lord is well-arranged, and Yu can only be respected. ”

For Xun Yu's blow to the horse,

Cao Cao accepted it calmly and said:

"Wen Ruo, then the arrangement of grain and grass in various places, as well as the arrangement of occupied areas, needs to rely on you, and after many things are handed over to Zhongde on the front line, you can also be less tired."

"Thank you for your concern, this is Yu's responsibility."

After this passage,

Silence fell again in the chamber,

Cao Cao just stared at the huge topographic map,

Xun Yu looked at his nose and nose and heart, as if he was in a trance.

In the end, Cao Cao couldn't help but break the silence and said:

"If you don't sweep the house, why sweep it, this time, I also want to clean it well."

Xun Yu's fingers on his knees,

Trembling imperceptibly,

Whispered:

"Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others, take their own humiliation, vainly trying to hinder the Han dynasty with their own selfish desires, the lord ......, the lord can rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely be able to understand the lord's good intentions."

Cao Cao stared at Xun Yu,

Tightly asked:

"Whether Your Majesty can understand it, it's not that the old man can speculate, I'm just worried, Wen Ruo can't understand the old man's intentions."

Xun Yu quickly raised his head,

And then under Cao Cao's scorching gaze,

defeated,

Bowed his head again,

Whispered:

"Xia Guan naturally understands."

What Xun Yu didn't see was that

At the moment when he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Cao Cao,

From the depths of Cao Cao's eyes,

A flash of deep disappointment,

However, Cao Cao did not persecute this subordinate he valued the most,

I just sighed slightly in my heart,

Then he spoke softly:

"It's not too early, Wen Ruo should go back and rest early."

"Whoa."

Xun Yu got up slowly,

Walking out the door,

When one foot is straddled outside the door,

Suddenly stopped the movement of the other foot up,

The body did not turn back,

But there were muffled words:

"Lord, please be merciful for the big man."

Cao Cao turned his head,

Looking at this thin back,

In those triangular eyes,

mixed with all kinds of complex emotions,

Disappointment, sorrow, comfort, pity, etc.,

In the end he didn't speak,

He didn't look back,

lifted up that foot,

Walked out steadfastly.

Holding one hand in front of you,

Losing one hand behind him,

Xun Yu walked away gracefully,

Although any one person,

can be seen,

This generation of the Xun family is the most promising,

At this time, the exhaustion and loss that emanates from the inside to the outside of the body,

But I also have to praise,

His appearance and bearing are worthy of being born in a famous family.

It's just the look on Xun Yu's face at this moment,

But it is full of rich bitterness,

First Lu Bu Lu Fengxian,

And then Cao Cao Cao Mengde,

are all people whom he Xun Yu sincerely admires and is willing to serve,

However, what exactly is the reason,

What makes these two so outstanding,

and those who are also determined to revive their homes and countries,

But it's slowly off the course?

Is it because you are too obsessed and true?

Or is that power really capable of corrupting everyone?

Whatever Rao's original intentions,

Will eventually become a slave to power and **?

Still is......

Or, really, as they say,

It's not yourself who has changed,

It's not them who have changed,

It's just this court that has changed,

It's this era,

has rotted deep into the marrow,

There is no possibility of reviving except for the change of dynasty?

He didn't know,

He really doesn't know,

stopped,

Slowly raise your head,

Looking at the bright moon on the side,

The moonlight is as bright and flawless as ever,

But not far away,

But a dark cloud slowly drifted in,

Dark clouds gradually obscured the bright moon,

The light is gradually obscured,

The whole thing gradually plunged into darkness,

Just like his Xun Yu's heart at the moment.

Behind him,

There was always a man watching him,

That's Cao Cao in the council room,

Cao Cao stood with his hands in his hands,

Watching Xun Yu drift away,

A faint sense of loss welled up in my heart.

Cao Cao himself knows,

He's actually a very affectionate person,

Although he will be at some specific moments,

expressed some empathetic innocence,

But he himself knew very well,

A lot of the time, that's what he did on purpose,

Many people define this behavior as heroic behavior.

Even take the words in the comment he once received - traitorous male,

It is used to evaluate his personality and his behavior.

And he took it all,

He is a man who does not care about the words and speeches of the world.

Ben is such a person who conforms to his heart,

What do others think,

What to do with him Cao Mengde,

How could he ever care?

But there are a few people,

but not among these ordinary others,

Far away, such as the drama Zhicai,

Near, such as Na Lu Fengxian,

Around such as this Xun Wenruo,

Although these three people can be distinctly different representatives of the three categories of Rao,

But in Cao Cao's heart,

These three people are people he admires and cherishes very much.

It may be a little hypocritical to take care of the liver and gallbladder,

But even if he is suspicious and cunning like Cao Mengde,

also did not hesitate to dare to put their back,

Leave it to the three of them,

No one may believe this,

But he, Cao Cao, can definitely do it.

This, perhaps, is when you are young,

The meaning of the brother that is often on the lips,

It's just that the drama has just gone,

Lu Bu and himself now,

Or somewhere in the future,

It's quite possible to be on the opposite side,

Occasionally, I fantasize,

Maybe it's himself or he Lu Bu,

Either of the two,

After the victory,

The other can assist wholeheartedly,

So in this world,

What else could the two brothers not solve?

But in the end, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly,

Leave this absurd and ridiculous thought behind.

The only thing left is the elegant man in white in front of him,

The two monarchs and ministers are like fish in water,

Just like when Xi Zhicai was alive before,

Both of them are equally clever,

The difference is the difference in identity,

and the obsession in the heart,

Therefore, now Cao Cao himself can clearly feel that

There seems to be a faint crack between the two,

Most of the time it's unnoticeable,

But once it touches on certain people and certain things,

The crack will slowly deepen, consciously or unconsciously,

Slowly, slowly,

But it was irretrievably there,

Just like Fang Cai,

Just like now,

He departed so slowly,

It seems that the two sides are also drifting apart.

Slowly raise your head,

Seeing the bright moon obscured by dark clouds,

Cao Cao sighed.
