Chapter 318

Cao Cao's words surprised Yun Bin and the others, Guan Yu stretched his brows, and said pretending not to care: "Brother Cao, aren't you afraid that we will tell Cai Lao everything you said today?" You must know that the three of us brothers can only make a fortune by relying on Cai Lao. ”

After Cao Cao took a sip of tea, he said with a relaxed expression: "It doesn't matter! I just want to give you my handle, otherwise you wouldn't be at ease with me Cao Cao. What do you think? Can you tell me what the hell you're going to do now? As long as you don't endanger the Han River, I, Cao Cao, will not hinder you, on the contrary, I may be able to become a partner. ”

Yun Bin looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's nervous mood, and suddenly showed a smile and applauded: "It's worthy of Cao Cao, I, Yun Zihan, am convinced, I didn't expect such a sophisticated plan to be seen through by you alone, amazing!" But Brother Cao, you are wrong about one thing, we are not doing this to achieve any purpose, but to cover up some things. ”

Zhang Fei was stunned, and whispered to Cao Cao with his ear: "Third brother, what do you say?" How can we tell an outsider about our plans? If he tells us, won't we be caught in an urn? The third brother is confused! In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to kill him. Cao Cao didn't know what Zhang Fei said, but he could guess what Zhang Fei said, and he was not the slightest dissatisfied, but praised: "Brother Zhang is right, Zihan!" Aren't you afraid that telling me about this outsider so easily will lead to death? It stands to reason that you shouldn't be so easy to confess before I say the evidence! Do you have the intention to kill me Guan Yu pulled down Zhang Fei steadily, and said in a deep voice: "The third brother has always been steady and thoughtful, how could he not think of the problem you said?" Don't make a mess, just leave it to the third brother to deal with. If he really wanted to kill Brother Cao, I'm afraid that the third brother would have lured Brother Cao to a place where no one was around. ”

Zhang Fei looked at Yun Bin's calm face depressedly, and sat back helplessly. Yun Bin nodded and said, "What Big Brother said is right, I didn't mean to kill Big Brother Cao, on the contrary, I would like to know what Big Brother Cao is using the patriarch to send forward?" Brother Cao, since you dare to face the three of my brothers alone, if I don't tell the truth, I'm sorry for your guts. Seriously, Brother Cao deserves to be known as Cao Agui, and he dares to deceive our three brothers with false evidence, you are the first and last person. ”

"Hahaha、、、 those who know me, Yun Zihan also! That's right, I really don't have any evidence to confirm that you set fire to Cai Lao's study, I just suspected you, so I came over to deceive you curiously, but I didn't want Zihan to see my intention, and at the same time told me this secret, thank you Zihan for your trust, can you tell me the reason? Cao Cao said with a wry smile and helplessly.

Yun Bin exhaled and said secretly: "Cao Cao is really as said in history, suspicious by nature, capricious, and inscrutable, sometimes when people think Cao Cao knows something, in fact, Cao Cao himself is just deceiving the world. It's like killing people in a dream, Cao Cao doesn't have a hobby of killing in a dream at all, but he wants to kill an attendant to prove that he has it, and the purpose is that people who have the intention to harm him dare not attack him while he is sleeping. Yang Xiu, the only one who saw Cao Cao's purpose, was unfortunately killed by Cao Cao. ”

After Yun Bin saw Cao Cao's intentions, he didn't hide it privately, and told Cao Cao all the plans from beginning to end, in fact, he just wanted to exchange Cao Cao's true thoughts, which was also good for Cao Cao when he fought for hegemony in the future. This is the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles!

After listening, Cao Cao exhaled and praised: "It's really a good plan, if I fall into this plan, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the real culprit." Good thing I'm a bystander! At first, I heard that the study in Cai's mansion was burned, and on a whim, I carefully asked the relevant people about what happened, and I found several suspicious points, such as the lights out in the room, the fire in the study, and the disappearance of the assassin! Why did the lights go out the moment the guards entered the room? Isn't it too much of a coincidence! There was also a fire in the study that started not long after the two Assassins escaped from the room, so it stands to reason that the Assassins should have been busy escaping, so why would they turn back and light the fire? Finally, there is the suspicion that the assassins disappeared, six assassins entered, one Gao Shun was taken away, two escaped from the scene, and three others were unknown to anyone, isn't it strange? ”

Yun Bin slapped his face and smiled: "It's just a small plan, it's difficult to get into the elegance of the lobby!" I didn't expect Brother Cao to see so many flaws, Zihan admired it. Hahahaha、、、 it is precisely because of Brother Cao as a bystander that I can know so clearly what traces of my plan are left, and I can erase them in time. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "There、、、 I didn't have much to do to carefully investigate a few suspicious points, and this plan can be regarded as perfect!" I think that now Cai Lao has applied for the forbidden army to participate in the investigation of the incident, and I think it will not be long before this matter ends because nothing can be found. What can the Forbidden Army check? However, the privileges are a little more, at most the city gate is checked by every household, as long as you carry it for ten days, I Cao Cao guarantees that you will not lose a single hair. ”

Yun Bin frowned and asked, "Ten days?" Isn't it too long? There is only so much to Luoyang, according to the number of forbidden troops, it should be possible to check the entire Luoyang in six days! Why does it take 10 days? I'm afraid that things will change if it drags on, after all, we are not the only capable people. Cao Cao was also worried about it, and agreed: "Yes! Luoyang is mixed, there are all kinds of characters, not to mention that the troubled times are approaching, as the so-called times create heroes, it is inevitable that there will be a few capable people who appear in the forbidden army, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome to find out these doubts. ”

Yun Bin was taken aback, he didn't want Cao Cao to actually see that the troubled times were approaching, so he had to look at Cao Cao again, and said: "Then please trouble Brother Cao to provide the latest news of the forbidden army, as long as it is not good for us, please remind Brother Cao at the right time!" In this way, the three brothers of us should also prepare in advance. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Yun Zihan, is your guts a little too big?" That's a forbidden army, even if a random person dies, the emperor will be alarmed! Even if I'm willing to help you, I'll do what I can, I hope you understand. ”

Yun Bin smiled lightly: "Brother Cao, where have you gone?" No matter how clever I am Yun Zihan, I know what the existence of the forbidden army represents, and I can rest assured that I will not touch any of the forbidden army. I just hope that after Brother Cao provides us with information, I can respond in time. That's right! Brother Cao, why do you want to help us so much? It stands to reason that our current identity has no value worth using at all! ”

After Cao Cao got Yun Bin's words, he was a little relieved, and then he drank happily: "Indeed, you don't have any value worth using now, but it will be worth it in the future." I'm sure that sooner or later, this veteran faction will all die out, and for the sake of my Cao Cao's future, I plan to unite you and go out of Luoyang together. Yun Bin was puzzled, Cao Cao did leave Luoyang in history, but he returned to Luoyang afterwards to elect the top ten captains, why did he need to help him out of Luoyang? asked: "Brother Cao, although I don't know if the patriarchal faction wants to die out in the end, but with your ability, isn't it easy to quit Luoyang?" ”

Cao Cao explained: "The patriarchal faction is composed of a group of pedantic old men, it can't become a big climate, and the party without military power can't last long anyway, and it's really simple to retreat to Luoyang with my ability, but it's hard to pull out of the quagmire." When I was young and vigorous, I killed Zhang Rang's nephew, so I offended Shichang, so I joined the patriarchal faction in desperation, in order to find a place to live. Zihan, you must be very strange, why didn't I join He Jin, right? Because after I became a eunuch, I was rejected by He Jin's party and could not tolerate it, so I could only choose the patriarchal faction. When I saw the big quagmire of Luoyang clearly, I planned to withdraw from Luoyang, but it was easy to come in, and it was difficult to exit. As long as Zihan is willing to cooperate with my plan, I Cao Cao will be able to retreat to Luoyang at that time. ”

Yun Bin was a little puzzled, not knowing whether to believe Cao Cao's words, and finally after Cao Cao's expectant gaze sank to Xiao Xu, he asked: "Brother Cao, I don't know if your plan is Cao Cao's natural understanding of Yun Bin's thoughts, it's nothing more than believing it." But Cao Cao still looked at Yun Bin very confidently and said: "My plan is very simple, as long as Zihan agrees to the task assigned by the patriarchal faction, and then I will make some accidents or something after you carry out the task, so that the patriarchs will have a problem with me, and then I can easily propose the idea of transferring out of Luoyang to the patriarchs." Zihan, what do you think? Although my plan is simple, it is really necessary for me, and please believe in me. ”

Although Cao Cao is very sincere on the outside, the title of Cao Apu is not called for nothing, which makes Yun Bin a little difficult to choose. After careful consideration, Yun Bin felt that he was very passive, and said helplessly but firmly: "This plan does seem very simple, but it touches people's psychology!" As long as people are dissatisfied with someone, they will alienate the other party, and if the other party proposes to stay away at the right time, it is absolutely in line with people's psychological thoughts. But Brother Cao, I am cautious, I want to wait until ten days to reply to you? ”

Cao Cao was not dissatisfied, but nodded in a deep voice and said: "Yes, it is also a very normal move for you to do this, rest assured that within these ten days, I will definitely help you provide you with all the news of the actions of the forbidden army, but Zihan, you have to remember that you owe me Cao Cao a big favor." "Of course Yun Bin understands what Cao Cao means, that is to say, you Yun Bin owes me Cao Cao a favor for providing information, if you can't return it to me, then you are a villain who has no word to be trusted, then I, Cao Cao, will alienate you, and even become your enemy in a bad mood. After looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a little bitterly, Yun Bin smiled and said, "Brother Cao, don't worry, I, Yun Zihan, will do everything I can to repay you for this favor!" I can't imagine that the first person I owe Yun Zihan is still you Cao Cao, is it our fate? Hahahaha、、、"

Yun Bin said this sentence in a vague half-joking tone, which made Cao Cao a little puzzled, got up and walked to the door and said: "I don't know if you and I are destined to fight each other, but I only know that you and I are friends now, although they are all calculating, why not be happy enemies?" Alright, Zihan! Then I will retire first, and I will tell you as soon as I have something. ”

Yun Bin Guan Yu and the three of them immediately got up to see them off, and after sending Cao Cao out of Cai's mansion, the three of them turned around and returned to the other courtyard, at this time everyone surrounded them, and Mo Yuan hurriedly asked, "How is the young master?" Is that Cao Cao going to tell the truth? Do you want to kill him right now? "Let's go too, young master, we're willing to go and assassinate Cao Cao!" Young master, just send a word、、、 "At this time, everyone else also made a noise, they were all friends who grew up together, how could they watch Mo Yuan bear such a big responsibility alone?" What's more, he had to assassinate the unfathomable Cao Cao, so everyone made an uproar.

Yun Bin pressed his hands and said, "What are you messing about?" Want to be exposed, right? This is Caifu, not our Mozhuang, you all give me caution. You don't have to assassinate Cao Cao, just let you all go and assassinate Cao Cao, you just have to go and never return, you have seen the two masters behind Cao Cao, right? Do you know what it means to have a heaven outside the sky? It's really overwhelming. ”

Everyone was silent, indeed at the beginning of their departure from Mozhuang, they thought that the most powerful person in the world was Yun Bin, and they didn't want to come out for less than two months, and they met Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Gao Shun, the first-class masters, which made them feel a double blow, they didn't want the world to be so big, and they were just frogs at the bottom of the well, just a drop in the ocean. Guan Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said in the style of an elder: "Alas! With so many beings, how majestic should the characters who can stand at the top be? Will I ever see it in my life? It's like a cat's claw in my heart. I, Guan Yu, don't want to stand at the top, I only want the history of celebrities. ”

The atmosphere was a little solemn, Yun Bin looked at Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and said to Mo Yuan and the others: "You don't need to worry, as long as we carry it for ten days, everything will be rainy and clear." Cao Cao will be an important task to help us carry through the ten days, you don't need to be suspicious, as long as you stay in Cai's Mansion with peace of mind and keep a low profile, everything is me! Okay, everyone stay in the yard, and the eldest brother and second brother will follow me into the house. Hearing Yun Bin say this, everyone couldn't help but put down the big stone in their hearts with peace of mind, and couldn't help but find that Yun Bin's indestructible image in their hearts was a lot taller and heavier again, and suddenly Mo Yuan and the others burst into tears and were moved. Then ten people guarded the courtyard very seriously, and every small insect was trampled to death and thrown out.

After Yun Bin and the three of them walked into the room, Zhang Fei took the lead in asking: "Third brother, why do you know that Cao Cao's guy is defrauding us, why do you still have to explain everything?" Just because of what bullshit plan he said? I see that he must have deceived us this time, and it is best to kill him! After Guan Yu sat down, he said calmly: "Second brother is right, isn't it too hasty to tell Cao Cao so bluntly?" What's more, Cao Cao is incomprehensible, I chatted with him for a while before, and it has always been him who has driven my thoughts, and I can't resist, which shows how hard this person's wrist is. ”

Yun Bin played with the teacup and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, Cao Cao is the strongest and most capable person I have ever met!" I'm afraid that in some ways I can't compare to him, but we can't be afraid of him because of his mystery. The reason why I told him everything was that I didn't want Cao Cao to make a big move because he didn't know, with our embarrassing situation now, it was difficult to accept any fluctuations, not to mention that since Cao Cao didn't go to the forbidden army in advance to explain the doubts he had in mind, but came to us first, based on this, the plan he said was true. ”

After thinking about it, Zhang Fei still felt that what Yun Bin said was reasonable, but he was still a little unacceptable in his heart, and muttered: "But、、、 but this plan is too simple, aren't you afraid of being seen by those old guys?" After all, according to Yun Bin, these people are all old foxes who have become spirits. Yun Bin's lips were dipped in tea, and he said incomprehensibly: "Sometimes the simpler the question, the more complicated it will be in the eyes of people. Especially suspicious people, they will imagine simple things as complex things.

After Cao Cao closed the door, he sat on the main seat and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, Yuan Rang, I won't let you be beaten in vain, but you also asked for it." I didn't expect that Yun Zihan had so many masters under him, not to mention Guan Zhang, those ten people alone were not something that ordinary great families could cultivate. It seems that this Yun Zihan is also a mysterious figure! ”

Xiahou Yuan took a step closer and said, "It's not! Big brother, you don't know, I was hit by Yun Zihan and almost displaced, but fortunately he didn't use all his strength, otherwise I would have to vomit blood. But big brother, since that Yun Zihan is the one who masterminded burning Cai Lao's study, why didn't you expose him? We can find someone else to help us with the plan! ”

Cao Cao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Others can't do it, this plan can only be Yun Zihan!" Do you really think my plan is just a simple ploy? Definitely! The patriarchs are anxious for Yun Zihan to do that task, and only this task can distance me from the patriarchs, because that task is related to whether the patriarchs can survive in the future, to put it bluntly, the group of pedantic old men of the patriarchs were ignorantly led by my Cao Cao and entered the trap I prepared in advance, hahahaha、、、"

Xiahoudun's eyes lit up, and he bowed down and whispered a sneer: "Could it be that the eldest brother's plan to frame the Empress Dowager He is the line that pulls the patriarchal faction?" When the patriarchs learn of this plan, they will definitely implement it, and then they will find someone who is not right to carry it out! In this way, the eldest brother will be able to make an accident in the palace and steal that! Hahahaha、、、 good strategy! What a strategy! I think there is no one in the world who can be half as smart as the eldest brother, and let everyone into Xia Houyuan said with some worry: "Big brother, that Yun Zihan doesn't look at his young age, but I always feel that he is extraordinary, will he see our plan?" When the time comes, he will see it, and we will be miserable. There are many masters inside and outside the palace, and I am worried that Yun Zihan will be captured if he enters alone. ”

Cao Cao put down the teacup, and after thinking for a while, he said affirmatively: "Don't worry, Yun Zihan is indeed very smart, which I admire very much." But he is smart, but he is only a newcomer, and he has not had much contact with me, so how can he see through what I am planning? I'm afraid he's still worried about whether to help me implement this little plan! ”

Xiahoudun was already completely convinced of Cao Cao, and said indifferently: "Big brother said that if you don't worry, don't worry, as long as we help that Yun Zihan pass on the news of the forbidden army in the next ten days, in order to repay a favor at that time, he will definitely help the eldest brother implement the plan." Cao Cao was radiant, got up and said with a domineering smile: "Okay, let's wait here quietly for ten days!" After ten days, I must get it, and then we can leave Luoyang, secretly cultivate forces, and when the troubled times come, we can compete for hegemony! Hahahaha、、、"

Cao Cao's ambitious appearance was undisguised. Before the troubled times arrived, the Central Plains heroes were all ready to move, each plotting what they wanted in their hearts. And in Yunbin's place, Cai Yong had already returned to the dynasty, but Luoyang was in chaos because of this, and fell into a tense anger, one by one well-trained forbidden soldiers, searching the streets and alleys with weapons in hand, searching for suspicious characters, and the city gate was closed early, not allowing outsiders to enter, nor for people inside.

"Young master, something big has happened, Luoyang is really in chaos! Many soldiers in armor were rows and rows of soldiers roaming around Luoyang, and when they saw suspicious people, regardless of men, women, and children, they all caught the wrong ones and did not let them go. Now the prison is already crowded with people who have been wrongfully arrested, and the voices of injustice can be heard outside the prison, and many people have gone home and dare not go out. Now the people wandering in Luoyang are some sons and brothers with backgrounds, as well as some high-level officials, and the people have long been out of sight. At this time, Mo Feng hurriedly ran into the courtyard, and said to Yun Bin in a panic that Yun Bin and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, all with solemn faces, listening to Mo Feng's words, Yun Bin was not the slightest surprised, and said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as we don't go out of Caifu, we won't be affected in any way, and as for those innocent people, they will be released after ten days because there is no such evidence." ”

Mo Yuan stood aside in a daze, not speaking, and seemed to be in a state of self-blame and guilt again. Zhang Fei scratched his head irritably, grabbed Mo Yuan, and looked at Mo Yuan's somewhat trance-like expression, Zhang Fei said angrily: "What do you think? How can you accomplish our great cause now? It's better to go back to your hometown and farm! ”

Mo Yuan woke up because of Zhang Fei's loud roar, turned back to his hideous face, and broke free of Zhang Fei's hand, perhaps he should forget Zhang Fei's horror for negativity, pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted: "Let go of me!" From the very beginning, I didn't plan to accomplish the great cause of a peaceful and democratic country through the ages, I just wanted to see what the outside world was like! Mo Yin, Mo Yang, Mo Ren、、、 they all have the same idea as me, I thought that if I followed the young master, I would be able to visit this world, but I didn't want it to be a terrible broken world, even if I went home to farm now, I would like to 、、、"

"Smack!" Zhang Fei slapped Mo Yuan, who looked a little crazy, to the ground, and then left silently, looking like he was back in the room. As for Mo Yin, they all looked embarrassed, worried, and sad, yes! The facts that Mo Yuan said, they all followed Yun Bin out with this idea, but they didn't want to plan to catch up with the changes, Yun Bin wanted to change the world, which made their subordinates a little powerless.

After looking at Zhang Fei's generous back and Yun Bin's melancholy face, Mo Ren helped Mo Yuan, who had lost his soul, and looked at Mo Yuan's blood-red slap prints and mouth full of blood, and everyone was silent. The world is not as good and beautiful as the books say! It brings them only suffering and ups and downs. After a long time, Yun Bin reached out and touched Mo Yuan's red and swollen cheeks, and said, "Is it painful?" When I was a child, you practiced martial arts with me on the Tianba, and every day you didn't fall all over the place and go back injured. At that time, you did not complain of hardship, nor did you complain of tiredness! Just laughter and a strong sense of brotherhood.

That's right, I, Yun Zihan, are smart, capable, and powerful, but these are all cultivated through long-term hard work, and you also know it. All year round, I study rain or shine, practice when I smell chickens and dance, and work early in the morning and in the dark. No matter what I do, I arrange it in an orderly manner, and no matter how many things I do, I can easily complete them like divine help! You can be said to be my brothers, but also my disciples, we live together, we come to this world together, I know you want to live a carefree life, but how can you live such a good life without working hard? The reason why I want to accomplish the great cause of democracy is that I want all the people in the world who have the same ideals as you to live a carefree life. Maybe I have set this goal privately, and it is too far out of reach for you, but don't all people need a goal in life? Moyuan! I know what you just said is a heartfelt word buried in your heart, and I am sad to hear it, because I have set my ideals without asking you beforehand, and I am so selfish. I want you to apologize, I'm sorry! ”

Mo Yuan and the others were shocked, and hurriedly helped up Yun Bin, who was bowing, and Mo Yuan burst into tears with excitement, knelt on the ground, hugged Yun Bin's thigh, and cried bitterly. Everyone else also shed tears silently, after coming to Luoyang, they were too sad and hard. Yun Bin looked at Mo Yuan and the others, and said calmly: "Think about it!" It's time for us all to think quietly. Big brother, let's go! It's time to include Gao Shun in our team, and I believe that people with lofty ideals like Gao Shun will definitely join us. ”

Guan Yu nodded calmly, looked at the sky with a little confused eyes, followed Yun Bin to Zhang Fei's room, and pulled Zhang Fei to persuade Gao Shun. In fact, after Guan Yu saw this scene, he became even more firm in the ideals proposed by Yun Bin! The dictatorship of the monarchy can only bring peace for a short time, just like the Qin Dynasty, and peace will last long when the people are truly the masters of the country.

At the same time, the core members of the patriarchal faction gathered again! The place of this gathering is Dong Cheng's study. Dong Cheng's study is spacious and bright, and there are many valuable utensils in it, such as a desk and chair made of yellow shirt nanmu, as well as an inkstone carved with gorgeous patterns, and dozens of brushes made of pure wool, all of which are of different types.
