"Hehe, it turned out to be Li Ru, Li Wen is the first student, we are here to deal with a chaotic minister and thief, please don't do too much!"

After all, Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's person, and Dong Zhuo is a hob meat who is not afraid of death, and he kills people in court at every turn, so this makes Yuan Kui still a little scared, so his attitude towards Li Ru is also much better, but in his wishes, he still wants to ask Li Ru to go away immediately, after all, it is still relatively easy to clean up a Cao Xing, especially Cao Xing is now fledgling and his power is still small, he wants to kill Cao Xing, it is no different from pinching an ant to death, whether it is in morality or strength.

However, when Li Ru heard this, he smiled: "It turned out that I was going to deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves, wouldn't that be right, the so-called food of the king's luck, for the king's worries." I, Li Ru, am also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, so I naturally want to help you solve problems, don't you say? I'm going to have to see what's so strange about this today! ”

Yuan Kui, Ding Gong and the others didn't have time to speak, but Cao Xing on the side looked at Li Ru and spoke: "Lord Li, you came just in time, Su asked you to be a famous strategist in Xiliang, today we are struggling When Yang Chen repelled the Yellow Turban, someone killed Liang and took the merits, and as far as I know, that person was very bold, and dared to privately engrave the official seal, this is simply heinous, today he dares to imitate the seal used by Taishou, tomorrow he will dare to look at the jade seal used by the saint, you said that these people are not bold, and please help us to judge the case together, Get out that daring man, bring him to justice, and thank the world! ”

"Oh, there is such a thing, then I can't ignore it, who is so bold that he dares to engrave the official seal privately, this is completely a person who has no king's law, I will definitely do the right thing for heaven!"

Seeing Li Ru and He Cao Xing singing and harmonizing there, the faces of Yuan Kui and Ding Gong became more and more ugly, and they could be regarded as seeing that today, the reason why Li Ru led troops here was for Cao Xing, after all, Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's person, and Dong Zhuo was the opposite of their family, and the enemy of the enemy was naturally a friend, so Li Ru and He Cao Xuan had unconsciously stood on the same front.

And at this moment, Cao Xing's face showed a rare look of madness, as if he was about to make some amazing move, seeing this, Yuan Kui knew that he might not be able to kill Cao Xuan today, for today's plan, he had to calm things down quickly, otherwise it would be the people of their family who would suffer, so he hurriedly waved his hand and took two steps forward, and Cao Xuan walked over slowly.

And looking at Yuan Kui's actions, the corners of Cao Xing's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, he slowly let go of Yuan Shu and Ma Riyan, and at this moment Li Ru also gently shook the folding fan and walked over, the three of them talked for a long time, and finally Yuan Kui finally left with a gloomy face.

Ding Gong on the side wanted to hold Yuan Kui and say a few words, but Yuan Kui's face was very bad, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to leave directly, as if he didn't want to meddle in this matter anymore.

Maybe Yuan Kui couldn't imagine that he was picked up in the hands of Cao Xing, a fledgling boy, Cao Xing with his boldness and bravery, in exchange for a chance to live, and because of the arrival of Li Ru, he and Yuan Kui and others successfully attacked and defended the situation, and now Cao Xing actually began to talk about conditions with Yuan Kui, and finally the two agreed that as long as Cao Xing does not continue to make trouble today, then Cao Xing's conditions, Yuan Kui can still agree.

As for Cao Xing's condition, it is to draw 5,000 soldiers and horses to his command Cao Xing. Cao Xing knows that in the near future, troubled times will come, and when there are soldiers who are the grass kings, it is a big deal to persist for a year or two under the continuous suppression of these people, and then Cao Xing will no longer have to be afraid of them, as long as there are soldiers in his hands, it is enough to protect himself.

And Yuan Kui also seems to see Cao Xing's thoughts, but he is not ready to give Cao Xuan so many soldiers and horses, after all, if Cao Xuan becomes bigger, it will be difficult to clean up Cao Xing, and now Cao Xuan dares to rely on 5,000 soldiers and horses to directly surround the Taiwei Mansion, maybe it won't be long before Cao Xing's hands have enough soldiers and horses, and he will directly dare to surround the palace.

Therefore, under Cao Xing's bargaining with Yuan Kui, Yuan Kui finally agreed to transfer another 3,000 soldiers and horses to Cao Xing's command.

Yuan Kui seems to be very trustworthy these times, because he is also afraid that Cao Xuan will continue to expand the matter, so the three thousand soldiers and horses slowly walked into Cao Xing's military camp, but looking at these three thousand soldiers and horses, Cao Xing's heart has a bit of desolation.

Although Cao Xuan also has the pride of a traverser, then again, in the face of the decaying Han Dynasty and those people from the family, Cao Xuan also felt a lot of pressure.

He hijacked Taiwei and Yuan Shu, surrounded all the Taiwei Mansion, and finally succeeded in bargaining with Yuan Kui in exchange for soldiers and horses, which seems to be very thrilling and exciting, but then again, after all, it is the world dominated by the family, and the public opinion of the whole world is in their hands.

Although Yuan Kui did not have any fanfare to announce the world, but Cao Xing has been branded as a chaotic minister and thief in the hearts of many officials, once he has a relationship with this kind of person, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around in the future, many people think that Cao Xing is too young, and he actually wants to emulate Dong Zhuo, it is completely impossible, and it is only a matter of time before Cao Xing is eliminated. How could he be the opponent of Yuan Kui, Ding Gong and others?

If you want not to be implicated by Cao Xing, you should quickly avoid it now, so for a while, Cao Xing's whole person was completely isolated.

Every day, when Cao Xuan was training on the field, the generals on the field saw Cao Xing, as if they had seen a plague god, and they quickly avoided it.

And Cao Xing sighed helplessly when he saw this scene, at this moment he is really famous in the world, if he guessed correctly, it is estimated that Yuan Kui and others are already secretly discussing how to execute him Cao Xing, of course, Cao Xuan still has a way to choose, that is, to defect directly to Dong Zhuo.

That time, Li Ru came directly to Cao Xing, and said to Cao Xing with a smile, Cao Xing has no way to go now, there is no way to retreat, if you don't join the command of the Taishi and work hard for the Taishi, the Taishi will definitely not treat Cao Xing badly.

The Taishi in Li Ru's mouth naturally refers to Dong Zhuo, before Dong Zhuo came to Luoyang, he was just a county guard, but now he has jumped to the position of the Taishi, if you ask why, it is only because he is autocratic, deposes the Son of Heaven, and kills ministers indiscriminately, so that the entire Luoyang court is basically what he says alone, and his position will soar like a rocket.

Although Cao Xing's actions are a bit like Dong Zhuo's now, using his own soldiers and horses as the most solid backing to challenge those families, Cao Xing is also a reasonable person, he knows that what Dong Zhuo has done will not only be seriously criticized by history, but even in this era, no one will approve of it, even if one person's strength is great, can he fight against the people of the world.

So Cao Xing didn't give Li Ru a reply for a long time, Li Ru saw that Cao Xing didn't agree immediately, and even asked Lu Bu to persuade Cao Xing in person, Cao Xing gave Lu Bu a haha, and Lu Bu seemed to see that Cao Xing had other ideas.

After learning this, Lu Bu directly stopped saying more, and waved his hand, so that he would not force Cao Xing, what Cao Xing would do, but he still left a sentence for Cao Xing before leaving, if Cao Xing encounters any trouble in the future, he can come to him Lu Bu.

Cao Xuan was grateful when he heard this, and respectfully hugged Lu Bu.

Now it seems that only the people on Dong Zhuo's side have expressed friendship to Cao Xuan and extended an olive branch, but Cao Xuan can also clearly see that except for Lu Bu, other people are smiling at themselves, which is also another plan, if Cao Xuan really enters Dong Zhuo's military camp, it is very likely that he will not recover, after all, there are few courtiers who follow Dong Zhuo, it seems that few will have a good end.

However, just when Cao Xing was anxious, suddenly Che Wu reported that someone came to visit Cao Xing, and Cao Xing's heart was also puzzled, didn't Lu Bu come a few days ago? And at this moment, Cao Xuan is like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and someone will take the initiative to visit her, under the suspicion in her heart, Cao Xuan walked out of the military tent and finally saw the person, Cao Xuan was stunned at a glance, the person who came was not someone else, it was Cao Mengde.

Cao Mengde is also one of Cao Xing's few friends in Luoyang, and it can be seen from the fact that he can take the initiative to visit Cao Xing, so Cao Xing didn't say much, and directly invited Cao Mengde to enter the military tent and sit down, after sitting down, Cao Mengde said to Cao Xing with some sighs, why did Cao Xing do such a rebellious thing, and now Cao Xing seems to have gone to the opposite side of those families in Luoyang.

When Cao Xing heard this, he also guessed what Cao Cao said, which was nothing more than wanting to reprimand him Cao Xing there, Cao Xing took a sip of wine and didn't say much, but Cao Mengde's next sentence was.

"Forget it, although those people are high-sounding, they seem to have stood on the moral high ground and criticized you to the fullest, but I know that this is not your intention, you are also forced to do this, if it weren't for Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway, the two guys who made a ghost out of it, I guess you wouldn't have done such an outrageous thing!"

Hearing this, Cao Xuan showed a hint of a smile, it seems that this Cao Cao has grown up and is no longer stuck to those rigid dogmas.

And Cao Cao took another sip of tea, looked at the table and saw that there was nothing, waved his hand and said to Cao Xing: "The army is full of some coarse tea and light rice, and some tasteless rice wine, it's really not enjoyable, today I Cao Mengde invited you to go out to the sea to eat and drink, in order to express your unhappiness!" ”

Cao Cao was so enthusiastic, of course Cao Xing would not refuse, the two of them left the barracks, and traveled lightly to the most prosperous restaurant in Luoyang, only to see that this restaurant was a full three floors high.

This is a bit like Cao Xing's Hantian Restaurant in Bingzhou, the first floor is naturally for ordinary people, and the second layer is for people with some identities, such as those who are powerful in the family, but the highest floor, it is equivalent to a private room, and the person who can sit on it is undoubtedly not a dignitary in Luoyang.

The shopkeeper ran up, waved his hand directly before he could speak, took out a large handful of silver taels and asked the shopkeeper to go to the third floor to arrange a private room, and then put all the best dishes here, and the shopkeeper seemed to recognize Cao Cao, Cao Cao seemed to be a frequent visitor here, and quickly nodded and smiled, and then went to arrange.

Although Cao Cao seems to be becoming more and more unpopular in the Luoyang court now, and he was almost kicked out of the center of Luoyang, but then again, Cao Cao's father Cao Song used to be a lieutenant after all, so the current Cao Cao can be said to be a skinny camel bigger than a horse, at least if he wants to enjoy the highest standard of treatment, there is no problem.

Cao Cao and Cao Xuan walked up to a private room, pushed the door open, and saw that it was already full of good wine and food, and then Cao Cao and Cao Xuan began to drink continuously.

After a while, Cao Cao was obviously a little drunk, and he also began to denounce him for the unhappiness in his heart over the years, as well as the injustice he saw in the court, which made him feel depressed, but he is now a northern lieutenant, although he is the one who guards the palace, his status is relatively high, but his power is not much, so Cao Cao's heart is also full of a trace of helplessness.

Listening to Cao Cao tell her story there, Cao Xuan sighed in his heart while listening, it seems that everyone will encounter a lot of trouble in their growth process, even if it is a traitor in the future, the future Emperor Wei Wu is no exception.

Cao Cao and Cao Xing were talking about the rise, but suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, both of them couldn't help but follow the prestige, although there were many private rooms on the third floor, but when Cao Cao and they came, no one else sat up, and now there is someone, who is the come?

The people who can come up are all people who are either rich or noble, and even members of the court, Cao Xing was a little nervous when he thought of this, and couldn't help but hold the saber on his waist, if he touched Yuan Kui Ding Palace, or even Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, the two brothers would be in some trouble.

Cao Cao and Cao Xuan didn't close the door when they came in, so they could see the situation outside clearly, and people passing by outside could also see Cao Xing and Cao Cao, when that person appeared, Cao Cao and Cao Xing were stunned for a second, and then the two of them were suddenly startled in their minds, and quickly got up and respectfully hugged the man.

"Hello Cai, everyone!"

Cao Cao and Cao Xing didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be Cai Yi, who was following Cai Yi at the moment, in addition to the shopkeeper just now, there was also an old man who seemed to be in poor spirits, and on the side was Cai Yi's slim daughter Cai Yan.

Neither of them would have thought that Cai Yi would come to this kind of place, after all, the two had listened to a few classes from Cai Yi, and Cai Yi was also a famous Confucian master in this era, and his status was respected. The two of them still have to do a full number of courtesies.

However, Cai Yi looked at Cao Cao and Cao Xing, but he couldn't help but snort coldly, his gaze stayed on Cao Xing's body for a few seconds, and then said: "Hehe, Meng De, you are not afraid of the name of a rebellious minister and thief!" ”
