Sun Ce stood on the hillside, watched Cao Cao walk down the hill, turned on his horse, and galloped away surrounded by a group of knights, his brows furrowed slightly.

Cao Cao was not killed, naturally not because Cao Cao was able to speak well—although he was indeed quite able to speak—but because of the trade-off between pros and cons. So far, he still believes that Yuan Shao will be defeated, even if he wins the world and establishes the Yuan dynasty, it will not last long. He can't solve the problems brought by the family, Liu Xiu can't, and Yuan Shao can't. That being the case, the clash between Cao Cao and his ideas would break out sooner or later.

Yuan Shu said that Yuan Shao's acceptance of Cao Cao was to treat him as an assassin and use his identity as a eunuch to assassinate Zhang Rang and others, so no matter how hard Cao Cao tried, it would be difficult to tear off the brand on his body, and it would be difficult to be truly accepted by Yuan Shao, at best he was an eagle dog. The history books say that he has always fought against Yuan Shao, which is naturally a glorification of the victor - for now, he does not have that strength - but he has never sent his family to Yecheng, which shows that he did not intend to really attach himself to Yuan Shao from the beginning.

Just like the Sun family is now unwilling to send their family members to Wancheng.

If Cao Cao really felt at ease to be a rich man, how could he take Fan Li as an example to encourage himself. In fact, in his mind, he is more likely to compare himself to Gou Jian, and Yuan Shao is naturally a poor husband.

Why rush to get rid of such a person? is also a marginal person, why is it too anxious to fry each other.

Looking at Cao Cao in the distance, Sun Ce retracted his gaze, his eyes flashed, and he felt that the grass where Cao Cao was standing just now was a little strange, he walked over and flicked it with his scabbard, and a three-stone crossbow emerged from the grass, the string was tight, the arrow was in the groove, and the sharp three-edged arrow was shining coldly.

Sun Ce carried the crossbow, hurried a few steps, looked at Cao Cao in the distance, and scolded. "Fuck, how is your mother!"

"Ahh Cao Cao sneezed and nearly fell off his galloping horse. He rubbed his nose and muttered a few words. Lou Gui on the side came over. "Mengde, what did you say?"

"Uncle Zi, is Sun Ce still looking at me?"

Lou Gui looked back, frowning slightly. "Fujun, we are already far from the hillside."

Cao Cao let out a long breath, and cold sweat came out of his body. He unfastened his belt, lifted his back and fanned his waist. Lou Gui glanced at it, and saw that Cao Cao had cold sweat on his forehead, dense beads of sweat soaked his sideburns, and even the color of his collar was darker, and he couldn't help but look back at the faintly indistinguishable figure on the hillside, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Cao Cao didn't turn his head, but the corner of his eye saw Lou Gui's eyes clearly. He remained silent and told the story of his meeting with Sun Ce. Lou Gui was stunned, and before he could speak, Cao Chun on the side preemptively said: "This Sun Ce is so cautious, it is indeed not like his father Sun Jian. ”

Lou Gui's eyes flickered, and flames jumped faintly.

Cao Chun looked at Cao Cao for a moment, and then said, "Fu Jun, I know the guard beside Sun Ce. ”

"Who is he?"

"Chen Liuren, it should be the flag bearer under Zhao Pet, called Dian Wei, is a ranger, extremely powerful, can hold the flag with one hand, so that a pair of eighty pounds of iron halberds are called strong men in the army."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and let out a long sigh. "This Sun Bofu is really incomprehensible."

——

Sun Ce walked into Yuan Shu's Chinese army tent and placed the long knife given by Cao Cao and the three-stone crossbow hidden in the grass in front of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu smiled when he saw the knife, and played with it in his hand, but he didn't look at the crossbow.

"Well, is the dwarf willing to surrender? He couldn't have given me this knife, would he? Bo Fu, let me tell you, this is a good thing, if you want to say that the first emperor, he is really a talent, these knives are very sought-after in Luoyang. ”

Sun Ce was stunned. "General, you mean...... Emperor Xiaoling? ”

"Of course, King Hongnong is not dead, can I call him the first emperor?" Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Ce, stood up, pulled out a long knife, held the knife with both hands, and slashed twice. Don't really say it, it's presentable, and it looks like a practicing family. Yuan Shu said with great interest: "Bo Fu, try it." ”

Sun Ce didn't have much heart to try the knife, but it was not good to return Yuan Shu's face, so he had to pick up the long knife that Yuan Shu was leaning against and put on a posture. Yuan Shu slashed down, and the long knife in Sun Ce's hand broke in response. Sun Ce was taken aback. It's an exaggeration to say that iron is like clay, but the sharpness of this knife is indeed beyond his imagination.

"Can't think of it, right?" Yuan Shu's eyes rolled and suddenly jumped up. "How do you try my saber? This is my family heirloom. ”

Sun Ce looked at the half-cut long knife in his hand, and looked at Yuan Shu, who was angry, embarrassed. "This ......"

"No, you have to compensate me." Yuan Shu didn't say a word, and inserted the long knife in his hand into his belt. "No need to look for it, just leave it here."

Sun Ce suddenly realized, stared at Yuan Shu, and was speechless. Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, clutched the scabbard, and laughed. "Now you know why I'm called the Road Devil, right? Hehe, I fought with that dwarf several times, and every time I suffered a loss because of this knife, and now this knife is mine, next time we meet, see how I clean him up. ”

"General, is this really good?" Sun Ce couldn't cry or laugh.

"Okay, just give me the knife." Yuan Shu held the knife in one hand and Sun Ce's shoulder in the other, and shook it vigorously. "To compensate you, I'll tell you what's so good about this knife. The first emperor was good Hu Feng, and there was Hu Tie in this knife, which was said to have been brought by the Hu man named An Shigao in the White Horse Temple. The first emperor spent a few years of hard work and only fought eight knives, and rewarded them to the eight captains of the West Garden, so they are also called the eight knives of the West Garden, each with its own name. I also wanted to join the Xiyuan Army, but I was already a general in the Tiger Ben at the time, and I was reluctant to give it up for a while, so I missed the opportunity and missed the sword. Haha, I didn't expect the mountain to turn around, and this knife actually took the initiative to send it to the door. ”

Looking at Yuan Shu, who was triumphant, not ashamed, but proud, Sun Ce's interest was on another point.

"Emperor Xiaoling is good Hu Feng, including Hu Tie?"

"Do you think he only knows how to drive a donkey cart, wear Hu clothes, and eat Hu food?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to change the topic. "Tell me, how Cao Cao was willing to give away such a good knife, did he decide to surrender to me?"

Sun Ce roughly told Cao Cao about what he had done, of course, he skipped what he and Cao Cao said about the cold door and the eunuchs, only said that Cao Cao first gave a knife and provoked, and finally he found Cao Cao's crossbow hidden in the grass, and then he knew that Cao Cao was secretly killing. Yuan Shu listened, laughed, and patted Sun Ce's shoulder hard, obviously caring, but how to look at it like schadenfreude.

"Bo Fu, you now know that I didn't slander him, do you? The dwarf was an assassin by nature, and he was very suspicious, looking at everyone like an enemy. He didn't have any good intentions when he asked you to meet three times and twice, either to take your life, or to sow discord between my monarch and ministers. Hehe, Bo Fu, you are still young, people's hearts are far more sinister than you imagined, the next time you meet him, don't be polite, take his life as soon as possible. ”
