The book is picked up again.

"Since this is the case, then according to the will of the virtuous brother, let go of these family heads for the time being.

When we wait for the war with the princes, let these families become sacrifices and sacrifice the flags to go to war! ”

"I'm waiting to thank Cao Gong, thank you Luoyang Hou!" After hearing Cao Cao's order, the head of the Chinese family immediately thanked the two with a grateful face.

Although they will eventually become sacrifices, it will allow them to live a few more years, which is a great blessing for them.

Besides, with a few years of hard work, they may be able to turn over.

Even if you can't turn over, if you think of some way, maybe you can get out of the dead calamity!

"Hmm" Cao Cao nodded expressionlessly, and said: "Although Gu let you live for a few more years, it doesn't mean that Gu has forgiven your sins, and you still have to be locked in prison."

However, Lone can be extrajudicial and let your relatives visit you.

I hope that you will have the little time left to reflect on your past, and if there is a future life, you will not make this mistake again. ”

"We will obey Cao Gong's orders!" It was already an unexpected joy to live a few more years, and these families did not dare to offend Cao Cao at this critical juncture, so no matter what Cao Cao said, they all respectfully agreed.

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand at the soldiers of the escorting family, and said, "Suppress them and take good care of them, if something happens, I will ask you!" ”

"No!" After the soldiers answered, they retreated one after another with their respective escorted masters.

When they all retreated, the hall was empty again.

At this time, Cao Cao also lost the seriousness he had just now, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, the business has been done, let's talk about those happy things later." ”

After saying this, he pointed to the head of the Zhou family and the head of the Yuan family, and said with a smile: "The reason why Gu was able to survive the siege of all the families this time is that there are virtuous brothers who work hard.

In addition to the virtuous brother of Xingzhi, there are two other people who are the heroes of this incident, these are the Yuan family master and the Zhou family master.

These two family heads are not in the same stream as other families, and when the family alliance besieged Gu, the two of them still resolutely stood on Gu's side, and did their best to save Gu's life, so Gu was spared.

And you are invited to come, one is to execute the family, and the other is to feast on the heroes.

Today, Lone will use this banquet to thank the three meritorious ministers. ”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, "Come on, go to the banquet!" ”

The servants who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed in after hearing Cao Cao's words.

They all had delicacies in their hands, and the servants in the back carried jars of fine wine.

In a few moments, all the tables in the hall were filled with delicious food and wine.

After the servants retreated, Cao Cao immediately picked up the wine cup, saluted everyone with a smile, and said, "This first cup, I salute you alone!"

Over the past few days, if it weren't for your encouragement, the rebellion of those families would have made a mess of their orphans!

Therefore, this cup should be honored by everyone's hard work! Drink to win! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao drank all the wine in his hand.

After everyone heard Cao Cao's words, they replied in unison: "What we are doing is just a matter of our part, and we dare not accept the lord's false praise." ”

Although the words were polite, they were not polite in their hands, and immediately drank the wine in their hands.

And Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Li Zhi, took advantage of this opportunity to drink several more glasses.

He was like this not because he lacked money to buy wine, but because he couldn't buy it even if he had money!

The wine used by Cao Cao to entertain the ministers this time was provided by Li Zhi.

And Li Zhi knew that this moment was very important to Cao Cao, so he took out the old wine from a few years ago and blended it with the new wine to make a very mellow wine.

And Li Zhi will not take out this kind of wine when he is idle, and even Guo Jia has not drunk it a few times, so he is so anxious.

But Li Zhi, who was on Guo Jia's side, was not as anxious as Guo Jia.

Because this wine is from his hand, how can he covet it?

So, he only took a symbolic sip at this time, and then put down the wine glass, and fell into reverie with his chin in his hands.

He is in a reverie about the leisure days after the peace of the world!

Since coming to the Han Dynasty, Li Zhi has been running around for all aspects.

Even when he was in Luoyang, he racked his brains to develop his own power and prepare for the future education of the world, it can be said that he has not been idle for a moment.

Now, I finally see the hope of the future, so even with Li Zhi's determination, it is inevitable that he will fall into a reverie for a better future.

And as absent-minded as Li Zhi are the Zhou family masters and the Yuan family masters.

At this point, the two of them were like nails in a chair under their butts, making them fidget.

Although Cao Cao said that the two of them were Cao Cao, through the eyes of other people, they could see that the fame of the two of them would inevitably plummet at this time!

Because they are all members of the family anyway, and as members of the family, they actually betrayed the family alliance......

Although the others don't say it, they will definitely despise these two people very much in their hearts!

Therefore, when these two people are drinking, they are like sleepwalking, some dazed, some melancholy, and some uncomfortable!

It can be said that in this hall, except for Cao Cao, who is the happiest, everyone else has different thoughts.

Time passed slowly, and the banquet ended slowly in this strange atmosphere.

After the banquet was over and everyone went back, Li Zhi did not leave, he stayed at the banquet and tasted the wine carefully.

After waiting for a while, a servant came out of the back hall, bowed respectfully to Li Zhi, and whispered, "Marquis of Luoyang, the lord invites you in." ”

"Hmm" Li Zhi heard this, nodded calmly, and then stood up and walked towards the back hall.

In fact, he had long known that Cao Cao would definitely look for him after the banquet, and he also had some doubts in his heart that he wanted to ask Cao Cao, so he would wait here.

When Li Zhi came to Cao Cao's study, he saw Cao Cao reading official business there with a full face.

Seeing this, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Meng De, weren't you still drunk just now?" Why are you so energetic now? Could it be that there is a secret recipe for hangover? ”

"......" Cao Cao heard this, and after glancing at Li Zhi speechlessly, he pointed to a seat on the side and said, "Okay, don't say these witty words, sit down, I have something to ask you for my brother." ”

I already knew that Cao Cao was pretending to be drunk, and Li Zhi didn't make much of a fuss, so after shrugging his shoulders, he sat down and asked with a smile: "Brother Meng De wants to ask why he wants to intercede for the family?" ”

"That's right!" Cao Cao saw that Li Zhi took the initiative to say it, so he nodded with kindness, and asked puzzledly: "It is said that the virtuous brother and the family are mortal enemies, and the more unlucky the family, the happier the virtuous brother is, why do you want to intercede for them?" ”

"Alas......" After hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Li Zhi let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Are you willing to be here?" Isn't this also forced to be helpless!

Brother Meng De should also know the difference between himself and other princes, because the other princes have been running and governing the land for many years, and they can be regarded as having a solid foundation.

Brother Meng De has only been able to get these states for a short time, and his foundation is very unstable, and he urgently needs time to rectify.

The other princes must also be able to see this, so as soon as they integrate their own rule, I am afraid that they will immediately launch an attack on Brother Cao Mengde in order to delay Brother Mengde's development.

In this way, it will be difficult for Brother Meng De to develop steadily, so he pleaded for those families in the next place. ”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, he was even more puzzled in his heart, and he fell into self-doubt at this time, "Is there such a big difference in wisdom between me and Brother Xingzhi?" I can't even understand what Brother Xingzhi said? ”

"Hiss......" After thinking of this, Cao Cao gasped, pinched his eyebrows vigorously, and asked puzzledly: "Does this matter have anything to do with these family heads living for an extra year or two?" ”

"Of course there is a connection!" After Li Zhi nodded affirmatively, he leaned forward, stared at Cao Cao seriously, and said, "Ants are still stealing, let alone humans?"

Brother Meng De thought that those heads of the family knew that when Brother Meng De and the princes started a large-scale war, they would be sacrificed to the flag.

In this way, in order to prolong their lives, they will definitely delay the start of the war!

However, now everyone in the world knows that the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for Brother Meng De, so Brother Meng De will definitely not take the initiative to attack.

On the contrary, if they can't defeat Brother Meng De in a short period of time, then they will no longer have any hope of dominating the world!

In this way, the princes will definitely be eager to take action against Brother Meng De.

When the time comes, Brother Meng De will have to sacrifice the heads of those families.

And the heads of the families definitely don't want to be sacrificed so early, so they will mobilize all their relationships to prevent the other princes from making a move against Brother Meng De!

In this way, more time can be delayed for Brother Mengde's development. ”

"This ......" After Cao Cao listened to Li Zhidi's words, he frowned and asked, "Can those families have so much energy?"

Although the princes are not as powerful as brothers, they are not fools!

Since they knew that the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for their brothers, how could they waste their time because of a few families? ”

"Hehe......" Li Zhiyan shook his head with a chuckle, stretched out a finger, and said: "First, Brother Meng De underestimated those families too much, and the reason why they were defeated so easily in the hands of Brother Meng De was because they underestimated the enemy......
