There are many things in this world that cannot be judged by right and wrong, they are just different positions. From Cao Cao's standpoint, his actions were only for self-preservation, and at the same time, he did not claim the title of emperor and usurp the Han family, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. In his words, if he were not there, there would be no one in the world who is called the emperor and how many people are kings. But standing in the position of the Son of Han Tianzi, Cao Mengde's self-respect for the army is a great rebellion. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, it can only be said that it is just created and forced by the situation.

Hearing what Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai said, Kong Rong sat in his position, his face was extremely painful, and he closed his eyes and was silent.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai just looked at him like this, and they didn't say a word.

After a long time, after Kong Rong straightened out the messy thoughts in his mind, he sighed lightly, looked at Cao Cao with a complicated expression, and said lightly: "You are here to bully this time?" ”

"Not bad!" Cao Cao nodded: "Now that the second Yuan is powerful, if I want to assist the Son of Heaven in the Han Dynasty, I must get his help, and I hope that Brother Wenju will cut his love." ”

Kong Rong nodded lightly: "Although I have to be helped, but I only want to repay my kindness, I can't make decisions for him, but I can persuade him for you." But you have to promise me three things. ”

"Brother Wenju, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Cao Cao's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said.

"First, I want you to promise that you will not be able to claim the title of king and emperor during your lifetime. Do not bully today's son, treat him with courtesy, and maintain the dignity of the Han family. Kong Rong did not make too excessive demands, but compromised relatively well.

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, but he still said: "I can promise the former, but the latter, as long as the Son of Heaven does not do too much, I will do it, but if the Son of Heaven deceives me..."

Kong Rong nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

"Second, now Qingzhou is tired, due to Lu Bu's forced conscription, there are very few young and strong, and the people are poor, I hope you can treat it well, don't be too reckless, and give the people a way to live." has been an official in Beihai for so many years, and the Kong family is based in Qingzhou, Kong Rong is still very affectionate towards the local people.

"So-and-so do his best."

"Third, the bully is brave and loyal, I hope you can treat him well, and it can be regarded as the grace of the guard for me for so many years."

"It's nature." Cao Cao said: "Since it has been voted under a certain command, it will definitely be reused, and it will not be in vain as the name of the descendants of Wu Anjun." ”

Kong Rong nodded lightly: "I understand Bahou, he is a descendant of Wu Anjun, but the family heirloom was lost in the war, and there is only half a volume of martial arts, I hope that after you get it, you can return it." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "But I don't know where it is, if I get it, I will pay it back." ”

The cunning color in Kong Rong's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "The whereabouts of the lost half-volume of martial arts are unknown now, but his family heirloom has appeared. ”

"Where?" Cao Cao said with a little interest, the family heirloom military book left by Bai Qi, if you can get a view, it will definitely be of great benefit.

"Gao Shun under Yuan Shu, the trap camp he trained is the book of soldiers." Kong Rong said.

The excitement on Cao Cao's face suddenly retreated, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Kong Rong unkindly: "Brother Wen Ju is not joking, right?" ”

"Of course not." Kong Rong affirmed: "The military book left by Bai Qi is the military soul trapped in the camp, and the two are one, and Cao Gong will hope to return to the hegemony after he gets it." ”

Seeing Kong Rong's appearance that you won't let go if you don't agree, Cao Cao only felt a pain in his temples. Sure enough, these Confucian scholars didn't have any good things, and they had a bad stomach in their hearts, especially the contemporary head of the Confucian family, which was even worse.

What kind of book is that? That's a whole army of top-notch military souls!

Cao Cao, who was trapped in the camp, had a deep understanding of it, when Xiahou Dun's army was beaten and had no power to fight back, even the tiger and leopard cavalry were helpless against it, and he was definitely the top soldier in the world. Even Cao Cao coveted it, and with such an iron army, he no longer had to worry about his safety. Even if tens of thousands of troops attack together, they can hold out for a long time and wait for reinforcements. But it's a pity that it's in the hands of Yuan Shu, how easy is it to take it back?

Cao Cao really wanted to punch Kong Rong directly in the face now, and then turn around and leave. But thinking of the situation he was facing now, Cao Cao barely suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Kong Rong with a resolute attitude, and sighed lightly: "I promise you!" ”

Kong Rong's mind Cao Cao is not clear, if Wu Anguo controls the trapping camp after defeating Yuan, then the safety of the Son of Heaven will be more guaranteed, and it can also dispel some of Cao Cao's desire to be the emperor.

Cao Cao himself did not have the heart to usurp the Han and stand on his own, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart when Kong Rong calculated like this, and secretly hated in his heart: Let's see!

People's hearts will change, Cao Cao doesn't believe that he can't compare to Kong Rong with his own means, and he can't collect the heart of Wu Anguo.

"In this way, thank you Cao Gong for the tyrant. Duke Cao is so wise and loyal to the Han family, and he should be a model for the princes of the world. A certain person will preach this matter for you in the world, so as to strengthen your prestige and recruit the world's scholars to vote. In addition, if Gongsun Chan and Er Yuan want to be emperors, I will not let them go, and I will make them infamous and spurned by the people of the world! Kong Rong got up and bowed to Cao Cao and said solemnly.

When Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched again, looking at Kong Rong, who was loyal and upright, he kept scolding in his heart, but he smiled kindly and arched his hand: "Then there is Brother Lao Wenju!" ”

"This is the duty of integration." Kong Rong said softly.

......

After leaving the Confucian Mansion, Cao Cao looked back at this ancient mansion with a long heritage and quiet style, and his eyes were full of complexity.

"I can't imagine that a rotten Confucian has such a scheming, he is worthy of being a descendant of Confucius, and he is wrong."

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Why do you need to mind? Although Kong Wenju calculated it once this time, our goal was still achieved, didn't we? What was paid was nothing more than a few inconsequential promises, and the lord received a real member of the peerless generals, as well as the support of the Confucian family, Confucianism, and Xiang Han. This harvest is a bit beyond Zhong's imagination, this trip is not worth it! ”

"But these supports are not in vain, Kong Wenju has given me a set!" Cao Cao said in an unhappy tone.

Seeing Cao Cao's angry appearance, Xi Zhicai smiled at the corner of his mouth: "This set is just a fictitious thing, what's the point?" Taking 10,000 steps back, it means that the lord will covet the supreme position in the future, and when the overall situation has been decided, what if he regrets it? Didn't Gao Zu also break his promise many times? What's more, do you really have an idea about that position, my lord? ”

After saying that, Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao with a smile.

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao saw Xi Zhicai's gaze, looked up to the sky and smiled, and said happily: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the ones who know me are also Zhicai!" In this world, maybe only you know my heart of Cao Mengde. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled lightly when he heard this: "The lord deeply admires the loyalty of the Han Dynasty. What if the world missees the lord? Why should the Lord act in the eyes of others? As long as you know it in your heart. ”

"But alas! I don't care if the world is wrong, but Wen Ruo... Alas, after all, he is not a fellow believer! Cao Cao sighed.

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly in his heart: Your loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Zhicai believes it. But can your descendants be as loyal to the Han as you are, and never disagree? In order to survive, he controls the power, but in the end, this power will definitely put his lord on the throne of the Son of Heaven, and in the end, this great man will still die at the hands of the lord. Such a simple truth, you and Wen Ruo should be clear! But unfortunately, your positions are different, and you don't have a choice. Lost country or lost family, alas!
