Chapter 886: A New Beginning

At the sound of gold, an era ended, and at the same time, a new era began.

Above the vast sky, an incomparably huge golden dragon of luck raised its head to the sky and roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Far away in Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were busy in the fields, suddenly felt a sense in their hearts, and they seemed to hear the sound of a dragon chanting in their ears. Both of them looked up in an instant, looking to the north.

"Did you hear that, too?" Cao Cao asked.

"Well, it looks like it's over."

"The ending is still expected after all."

"Do you really think a miracle is going to happen?"

"Until the last moment, there are still some illusions in my heart."

"The difference in strength is really too big, and Yuan Shao's chance of winning this battle is almost none. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Yuan Benchu won this battle with the help of the power of heaven and earth like Emperor Guangwu, what could he do? You have seen the situation in all parts of Yuan Shu's command, and the outcome cannot be changed by a battle at all. Even if Yuan Highway was defeated ten times and a hundred times, as long as he did not shake his foundation, it was meaningless. Liu Bei said indifferently.

"Wang Dao, is it really that strong?" Cao Cao unconsciously doubted his beliefs.

"What is the royal road?" Liu Bei smiled contemptuously: "Educating benevolent government, advocating virtue and virtue, these are indeed the essence of the royal road." But it needs to be known that Yuan Highway advocates the rule of law and convinces people with force, and wantonly attacks, how is this a royal move? The way of the emperor, the king is miscellaneous, and the king's way is just a joke. ”

"The strength of Great Chu does not lie in the royal road, but in the Yuan highway."

Liu Bei's eyes looked at a few children who were playing tug-of-war not far away, and pointed casually: "Mengde, look at those children." ”

Cao Cao followed Liu Bei's gaze.

"Just like this tug-of-war, if you want to win, the number of people and strength of your team is the foundation, but whether you can work together is the key. The most clever thing about Yuan Highway is that he can unite all his forces and use them in one place. Constantly creating new interests, coercion and temptation to tie everyone to his chariot and become his help. And we, not only do we have too many forces under our command that we can't control, but there are even many people who use force in the opposite direction and drag their hind legs. Liu Bei said meaningfully.

"Under the bundle of interests, in order to take into account the overall situation, many situations have to be compromised. Because once the equilibrium is broken, it will cause the whole collapse. It's true that if you don't break it, you can't stand it, but if you break it, everything will come to naught, so we have to maintain this vicious circle, sit back and watch them grow with us like parasites. Cao Cao sighed lightly. Easier said than done, how could he not know what Liu Bei meant, but how could he do it.

"I know that in Yuzhou, no one understands the helplessness of compromise better than me. Most of my soldiers and most of the money and food are out of my control. No matter what you want to do, there is a powerful force that can only guard the dead land like a puppet. The corners of Liu Bei's mouth were bitter. Cao Cao has been stubborn in front of the family, but he didn't see through this until he was finally cornered.

"The greed of the family is unlimited, and if you want to avoid the old path, you must take the initiative from the beginning and firmly control it, just like Yuan Highway. But his path is difficult to replicate, after all, how many people can have such a powerful force as the Yuan family as their backing? At the beginning, there was no one else in the world except Yuan Highway, even Yuan Benchu couldn't, Jizhou was too big. Cao Cao said.

"Thinking about it now, Yuan Highway has really seen far away. Abandoning the rich Yuzhou and taking Yangzhou, we all thought he was stupid, or he was fighting with Yuan Shao. But he didn't expect him to be on the most correct path, and the most suitable road in the world is Yangzhou. ”

"Use the power of the Yuan family to pry Jiangdong and control the Jiangdong family. After it was operated, it used the power of Yangzhou to pry Jingzhou, and at the same time threw Yizhou and Zhu Yizhou. Then the south, the northwest, the Central Plains, the world, the Western Regions, the southwest countries, and Kushan all became the cakes he prepared for the family. Step by step, the family is played in applause, and constantly breaks the assimilation of other forces to strengthen itself. ”

"We are not unjustly defeated. Since the day Yuan Shu completely took control of Jiangdong, our defeat has been basically doomed. It's a reversal of time, and I'm afraid I can't go back. Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

But this is not the end, but the beginning. A new journey is about to begin. Cao Cao looked at the west from afar, and his eyes were shining.

"I'm afraid you're not going to go down the old path this time." Liu Bei stretched his sleeves and pointed out.

"Naturally. Now that I know that Yuan Highway's path is right, I naturally won't repeat the mistakes of the past. With tens of thousands of elites in his hands and countless good and fierce generals, this strength is not weaker than the original Yuan Shu. If you can't even paint a scoop according to the gourd, then what kind of face do I Cao Mengde have to stand on heaven and earth. His dark face was full of confidence and arrogance, and Cao Cao said loudly.

"I advise you, don't underestimate the family, let alone overestimate the family's integrity. Some people in the family are more vicious than you think, just think about Sima Zhongda. Often, arrogance and greed can ruin a person, especially you. Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said lightly.

"I also advise you, don't be too indecisive in danger, and don't be emotional in good times. I don't like hypocrisy, but it's a good way to do it, but if you get too caught up in it, you'll get lost. Those who achieve great things should understand the priority of priority. Cao Cao also unceremoniously retorted to Liu Bei.

People are often like this, the flaws of others can be seen at a glance, but their own flaws can never be changed or even difficult to find. After living together for such a long time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei already know each other very well, even better than themselves.

"How many people have found you?" Liu Bei said tentatively coldly.

"Guess?"

"At least seventy or eighty."

"Almost." Cao Cao didn't mean to hide too much. Not surprisingly, he and Liu Bei should be the closest allies in the future, closer than Yuan Shao. Not because of anything else, just because Yuan Shao is far better than them.

The tiger will not be friends with the rabbit, and the strength between the two allies must not be too different, and he and Liu Bei are the most consistent.

"Where's your side?"

"Less than you. It seems that these families should have discussed it a long time ago. ”

"The Maison is a class that is very closely connected to each other, and there must have been a consultation with each other before making a choice. For them, we are actually a cake for sharing. You and I have so much value, and there are naturally so many people who are willing to participate. Cao Cao laughed at himself.

"Are you going to take all of these families?" Liu Bei asked.

"No, the ministers choose the kings and the ministers, and I don't accept everyone." Cao Cao snorted coldly. Although he is in decline, he is not a soft persimmon that is left to be manipulated by others, and he has not yet reached the point of being hungry.

"Indeed, this matter needs to be taken seriously, and it is better to have less than to overuse. I'm going to talk to Javin. Liu Bei's tone was inexplicable.

"What are you doing with the old fox?" Cao Cao's mind suddenly appeared with the figure of an old fox, and he shivered slightly.

"He has a lot more information about the family than we do. This person is thoughtful, wise and close to demons, as a sharp sword in Yuan Shu's hand, it is not terrifying. Liu Bei took a deep breath: "But now, we are friends and not enemies, and Yuan Highway will definitely support us." ”

"To tell you the truth, I still doubt how many of our troops are Javin and the shadows laid down." Cao Cao's eyes were slightly gloomy: "This person is too ruthless." If it weren't for Yuan Lu's great power and no need to use those treacherous methods, I'm afraid he would have done a lot of things that made us tremble. Even if we start anew in the future, I'm afraid that our every move is still under his surveillance. ”

"Again, we are friends with Yuan Highway now, and there is no need to guard against them. On the contrary, their surveillance can also alert us to some hidden dangers that we have, so as to speed up our development. Liu Bei said lightly: "With Yuan Highway here, do you think you can return to the Central Plains in your lifetime?" The place we are going to is extremely far away from the Great Han, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to start a war with the Great Chu in this life. Even if the country we build in the future is stable and strong, and has the strength to compete with Dachu, I don't know how many years after our death. ”

At that time, he Jia Wenhe was just a piece of loess, and only God knows how many of the shadows he had buried would be able to activate. Besides, being in a foreign land, and being of Han blood, and having no deep hatred, as long as you and I are upright and don't do anything that betrays morality, I don't believe that these shadows can last long. Liu Bei said lightly.

"After all, the tricky methods can't be put on the table, and Yuan Highway is not that kind of person. Therefore, Jia Wenhe's shadow son can only be a shadow son forever, and his own strength is the foundation. ”
