There is always a reason for a person to make a certain choice, and if the choice is awkward, he may find an external reason for the past in addition to his real thoughts.

In all fairness, there is actually no problem with Yuan Shu marrying his daughter, he is exhausted, what about marrying a daughter? And this kind of thing is very common in troubled times when people's hearts are lost.

Historically, Sun Zhongmou, the Emperor of Sun Wu next door, married his cousin's daughter for Mrs. Xu in order to stabilize his rule in the early stage; In the middle period, in order to satisfy his bad taste, of course, it may also be to repay his kindness, and maybe he married Yuan Shu's youngest daughter for Mrs. Yuan; In the later period, in order to gain political allies, he married his own sister to Liu Bei, a heroic contemporary of his father, for Mrs. Sun.

In the troubled times, it is difficult to survive, the plague comes and kills half of the county's people, the famine comes to Yizi and eats, and the war comes when the jade is burned.

It can only be said that those who maintain ethics and morality are more worthy of respect.

And there are naturally a lot of reasons for switching to Lu Bu...... As soon as the chaos is imminent, he is really anxious to master a force, the county officials are not as good as the current management, and Jiangxia is in front of him; Second, when he is alone, he is indeed insecure and needs a reliable ally; Thirdly, the hundred-legged insect of the Yuan clan in Runan is dead but not stiff, and the network in the south is still very useful, and this recognized famous family is an undoubted life ladder for Lu Bu, a martial artist of the Jiuyuan border county; Fourth, the so-called negative faith and betrayal of righteousness will attract disasters is even more nonsense, because he learned from Jia Xu, you don't see Jia Xu selling him Lu Bu but he can rise to the top, and he Lu Bu is honest for half his life but can only be lonely and idle, in this case, why not follow suit?

So many reasons were all said when he explained to his brother-in-law Wei Xu and a bunch of old departments, I have to say it, it really makes sense, at least he can convince himself.

And unlike Yuan Shu, who broke the jar and fell, and Lu Bu kept looking for reasons to convince his old department, the actions of another person or group seemed much more reasonable.

The father dies and the son succeeds, and the family is also the world, since ancient times...... Why not?!

Shouldn't it be Cao Cao and Liu Bei who come to bully orphans and widows before their bones are cold?

"Oh, I don't want one day, I, Cao Cao, have become a despicable person who takes advantage of the fire to rob." In Xu County, Yingchuan, Cao Cao led 10,000 troops to this point, and just after entering the official temple, he received a sincere private letter, but he shook his head and sighed to Xun Yu, who arrived here in the same car on his side, and Cao Ren, Xu Chu and other generals who accompanied him.

The letter came from his son-in-law-to-be, Sun Ce, in which the newly reinstated Marquis of Wucheng described in detail to his father-in-law and sub-father the turmoil in the hearts of the people in the three counties after his father's death, how he was an eighteen-year-old young heir who could not obtain an official position and worked hard to support the family business in front of his father's spirit, the shameless betrayal of people from all walks of life in the three counties, how his widowed mother was heartbroken at the funeral, and how his infant sister was completely ignorant of the outside world...... In the end, the letter proposed that he hoped that his father Cao Cao and his uncle Liu Bei would work together to stabilize the situation for him, and that he would hand over Yingchuan to his father to dispose of, and Runan would be handed over to his uncle Liu Bei to control on his behalf.

"Sun Gongzi's letter...... The words cry blood, which is really emotional. "Half an hour later, in the temple of Xu County, Xun Yu shook his head for a while after reading the letter." can only say that Sun Gongzi is very literate. ”

"Wencai is a fart!" Cao Cao sat in the lobby of Xu County, his face was solemn, and he directly laughed coldly. "If it weren't for the fact that this boy had been raised in my house for a long time, I would have almost believed in his ghost...... Wen Ruo didn't know that Ace's character was clearly a little mad dog-like thing, very similar to his father when he was young, fearless and fearless, and light on death! If you say that he can kill at the age of eighteen, you are underestimating him. If he is said to be able to kill the generals in battle at the age of eighteen and revive his father's martial spirit, I will not doubt it at all; Only pretending to be miserable and mourning with me...... Let me say it bluntly, if it is really this letter written by him, then I can only say that this is by no means Sun Wentai's species! Nine times out of ten, this letter was ghostwritten by Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, and Wu Jing, and he didn't object at most. ”

Xun Yu was not happy or angry, and calmly put the letter on the case in front of Cao Cao, and then slightly corrected: "Although Zi Xiao's father is the truth, according to his subordinates, he is young after all, and his knowledge is far inferior to his father...... Sun Poyu saw that he knew that before he died, he was transparent and atmospheric, where could one of his minor sons be compared with a group of subordinates who were reluctant to be rich and noble? ”

"yes!" Cao Mengde was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "It's a pity that my brother Wentai is really a pity...... Just by his last words, it can be seen that he is no longer the next husband of Wu in the past, and over time, he may not be able to gradually gain his edge like Gongsun Wenqi, and his tenacity is more prosperous, but he unexpectedly died at the hands of villains! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao himself was stunned: "Actually, if it weren't for the death of the villain, I wouldn't have woken up, but now, I occasionally think about it, and it is also the situation of the aftermath of the appointment on the mountain of the Qi family, just thinking about it makes me feel sad, and I don't want to think too much." ”

Many civil and military officers accompanying the hall were silent for a while.

In this way, after a long time, Cao Cao still sat still, and everyone had no choice but to go to see Xun Yu and Cao Ren, but Xun Yu just held his hands and did not move, as for Cao Ren, he was no longer the bear child of the past, where did he get the courage?

There was nothing to say that day, and Cao Cao also politely refused the kindness of Xu County to order Du Zixu to give up the official temple, and instead went to stay in the pavilion outside the city gate...... It was autumn, and the sky was high and refreshing, but Cao Mengde couldn't sleep for a long time in the pavilion, until Xun Yu's clothes were fragrant and he came alone.

"Wen Ruo is here to persuade me to be relieved?" Cao Cao wrapped in a cloak and sat under the corridor of the pavilion in the autumn night, but he didn't raise his head, but he knew that Xun Yu was here when he smelled the fragrance.

Xun Yu stood behind Cao Cao with his hands folded, and said slowly: "Duke Ming, I know that you and Sun Po are brothers and sisters, and righteousness is life and death, but the problem now is that the overall situation of the world is there, if the Central Plains cannot be united, how can we talk about supporting the Han family in the future?" And if you want to maintain the unity of the Central Plains, the three counties of Runan, Yingchuan, and Nanyang can be in anyone's hands, but they can't be in the hands of the Sun family...... Please also ask Ming Gong to think more and focus on the overall situation. ”

"I understand." Cao Cao became more and more gloomy. "I understand, it's best for Nanyang and Yingchuan to be in my hands...... It's just Wen Ruo, how can people be ruthless? The overall situation of the world is one thing, but why is this private relationship not the same thing? And my brother has just died, if I persecute too much, what will the world think of me? Will there be heroes and heroes who will evil me because of this? Where is the world going on with one or the other? ”

Xun Yu's heart moved slightly: "Isn't Ming Gong worried about Liu Yuzhou?" ”

"Xuande is a hero, a true dragon......," Cao Cao said earnestly. I'm worried that he's good, but I'm not worried that he will lead the Huainan people to enter Nanyang first, but that he will abide by his duty...... In case he occupies Runan in the name of the Yuzhou Assassin History, he will turn around and retreat with this letter, and I will be roasted on the fire at that time. ”

"My subordinates have a different opinion." Xun Yu replied calmly. "If Liu Xuande is really a hero, he won't really retreat after receiving the letter."

"You're saying he's going to fetch Nanyang?"

"Perhaps, but maybe he will sit in Runan and say nothing, neither losing his name of benevolence, nor embarrassing Ming Gong."

"Why did he do that?" Cao Cao finally turned around.

"Because if he is a true hero, he should understand what the big picture is!" Xun Yu replied. "The so-called heroes, one does not live up to the world, the other lives up to their own hearts, and the three become great things in their own right!"

"I see." Cao Cao nodded slowly, but suddenly got up. "Wen Ruo go by himself, I'm going to rest too......"

Xun Yu bowed and retreated, and Cao Mengde also turned around and belonged to the pavilion, but when he slept until the fifth watch was bright, he couldn't help but turn over and get up, and he didn't bring guards, nor did he call others, but he was wrapped in a cloak and trembling out of the pavilion located at the gate of Xu County, and he wanted to go to the military camp on the edge of the city by the morning light above his head, but as soon as he got out of the pavilion, he saw a pond not far away, so he walked to the lake and walked away.

In other words, the time has come to the end of July and the beginning of August, the autumn harvest has begun, if the daylight is good, it must be full of green and yellow colors of the mountains, which makes people forget their worries...... Cao Mengde stopped here, but he didn't move for a long time.

In fact, Cao Cao knew better than anyone that Sun Jian's death was like the collapse of Mount Tai for the Sun regime entrenched in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and as Xun Yu said, since Sun Jian died, anyone could occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains, but the Sun regime was not qualified to continue to maintain.

And rightfully so...... It's not just because Sun Ce is just 18 years old and doesn't have any prestige and wings, it's not just because it's still wartime at this time, and the enemy Liu Biao, who has the power of Jingxiang 6 counties, is in front of him, and sooner or later he will get rid of the shackles and exert his strength, but more importantly, the Sun regime itself is too dependent on Sun Jian himself.

This is true from the inside out.

Internally, the regime has maintained a seemingly stable rule on the surface, but on the inside it has been in turmoil...... They mastered the most heartfelt and essence of the former Han Empire, but like Yuan Shu before, they could not absorb the essence of this land, and truly merged with this land, everything was like a building without a foundation.

The main body of their regime is the rangers, Jiang bandits, heroes, and veterans in the Jianghan and Xu Yang areas with the Sun family as the core, and may later include scattered local powerful figures, but not many local scholars systematically participate in the construction of the main body of the regime, and they can maintain the momentum all by the success of non-stop external expansion;

They controlled all the nominal official positions in the local area, and theoretically commanded everything, but they did not really control the local people's and material resources through the tuntian and the purchase of Haoqiang, so that these people could tremble and maintain a state of obedience, in fact, it all relied on the military deterrence of Sun Jian and his subordinates who were rampant in the Central Plains;

They do have a strong and warlike army, but Sun Jian is a combination of his personal charm and qualifications, and the inside is too mixed and chaotic, and what is worse is that it is still a foreign army compared to the local area.

In addition to the regime's inability to effectively control the local area internally, Sun Jian's death was a simple and direct blow to maintaining the regime from the outside...... The Sun regime can become one of the four powerhouses in the Central Plains, can form an alliance with him Cao Cao, as well as Liu Bei and Tao Qian, and can reach a tacit understanding with Gongsun Xun without a fight, everything is because of Sun Jian himself!

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's brother-in-law is Sun Jian, Gongsun Xun recognizes and appreciates Sun Jian, Tao Qian and Zhu Jun rely on the western shield is still Sun Jian, Liu Biao is afraid of Lu Bu is also Sun Jian...... What are the others?

The entire Sun regime, with a vast territory, a large population, and a strong army, is like a castle in the air, and it completely relies on Sun Jian's personal prestige, ability, personal friendship, and seniority at the beginning, and at this time Sun Jian is dead, and the collapse of the Sun regime is probably imminent.

In fact, Sun Wentai himself was soberly aware of this before his death, so he asked his children's family to help Ling go to Jiangdong, and openly allowed his subordinates to join Cao Cao and Liu Bei...... This is all a leader and a man can do for his subordinates and his family before he dies!

If his family leaves everything and returns to their hometown according to this last word, no force in the world will make unnecessary moves against his family, Liu Biao is afraid that they will give gifts along the way, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhu Jun will do their best to take care of them; If his subordinates defected to Cao Liu according to this last word, then Cao Cao and Liu Bei would definitely be happy, and there would be no estrangement similar to 'surrendering generals' between the two sides.

However, Sun Wentai has been fighting abroad all the year round and has not returned home for a long time, and he does not know that although his son is only eighteen years old, he already has his own mind, and his subordinates are not reconciled...... The reason is very simple, Sun Wentai can realize that the situation is irreparable, but how can his subordinates and Sun Ce, who is only eighteen years old, understand?

Even if you understand, who can easily give up such a large territory?

It's just that there are some things in this world that are too important and precious, and you can't decide to keep them in your hands if you are reluctant to do so...... Cao Mengde stood on the bank of the autumn pond and watched for a long time, neither knowing that Xu Chu had secretly followed behind him, nor did he feel that the sun was gradually rising in the east, and he didn't know that countless generals and local officials came to ask for advice but were stopped by Xun Yu and Cao Ren.

And when the sun was on the clock, he finally turned around and belonged to the pavilion, but he began to personally polish the ink and paper, and write back to his good son-in-law and godson.

This letter has no literary brilliance at all, and the whole is more like a popular official document announcement in Hebei, which can be called unembellished:

The first is to mourn the death of his brother Sun Jian;

secondly, to reaffirm the legitimacy of Sun Jian's last words and his own hometown;

Thirdly, it bluntly said that Sun Ce was less than eighteen years old, and according to the Han system, he had no reason to be awarded an official position of more than 2,000 stones, and that he had no right to command so many officials with a knighthood, nor was he qualified to arrest so many court officials, and everything he was doing now was a riot;

Later, it was pointed out more directly, in the autumn of chaos, the Sun regime had neither the support of the local scholars, nor could it effectively control the local heroes and the people.

In the end, Cao Cao simply said bluntly, the world knows, he and Sun Jian, Liu Beiyi are the same brothers, and they made an appointment to entrust their wives, and now that Sun Jian is dead, he and Liu Bei will not deal with Sun Jian's affairs, who will deal with it? Sun Jian previously shouldered the heavy responsibility of the world, he and Liu Bei did not bear it, who would bear it? Therefore, he will go to Wancheng in person with Liu Bei, the assassin of Yuzhou, to preside over Sun Jian's funeral, bury Jiangdong, and adopt his wife.

As for the crowd's money, whether it is Sun Jian's previous unkind name caused by his harsh rule in the territory, his Cao Cao has the name of taking his brother's property today, and Sun Ce's reckless behavior caused by the boiling of public resentment, he Cao Cao shouldered it with all his might...... Because he is Sun Jian's brother-in-law, Sun Ce's father, and the general of the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian's inhumanity is because he Cao Cao did not play the responsibility of persuasion, Sun Ce's brutality is the responsibility of his Cao Cao not to educate well, and as for the unification of the old land of the Sun family, it is his responsibility as a courtier of the Han Dynasty!

Sun Ce's letter of pleading for mercy was sent semi-publicly, and Cao Cao's reply was simply pasted all the way in the form of a notice...... Where the letter arrived, don't say Yingchuan, even the land of Nanyang, which was suppressed by Sun Ce by force, simply changed banners one after another!

Sun Ce obviously still had nearly 10,000 mobile elite troops in his hands, but he looked vulnerable in front of this notice.

His army had just suppressed a city and arrested its leader, and immediately the city next to it was hung with the banner of Cao; Then his army continued to march towards the city next door, but as soon as he left, the city behind him closed its gates again and hung the banner of Cao Cao!

The troops could not be supplied in their own territory and could not enter the city to station, but they were repeatedly blocked and harassed, and the dense city of three counties that had allowed Sun Jian to stand proudly in the Central Plains had become their Achilles' heel at this time.

By the middle of August, when Cao Cao, who presided over the autumn harvest in Yingchuan, officially marched to Bowang, an important town in the northeast of Wancheng, the roots of the entire Nanyang were actually completely surnamed Cao.

This kind of scene even frightened Lu Bu, who led the troops to the southernmost Bishui region of Nanyang, after all, with Lu Bu's background experience and vision limitations, it was difficult for him to understand this non-intuitive power, and he was even a little afraid because of the unknown...... Because Gongsun Xun suddenly defeated Dong Zhuo in a similar ridiculous way before!

For the second half of that war, Lu Bu can only understand the stage when Jia Xu betrayed him and sacrificed Tongguan, but he has never understood why Gongsun Xun's direct entry into Yiwu later caused Dong Zhuo, who still had a lot of paper strength, to suddenly collapse.

Cai Yong explained it to him, but Lu Bu didn't understand.

"That only says one thing." Wancheng's former Yuan Shu's post-general's mansion, today's ruined general's mansion, and above the mourning hall, it is difficult to hide the heroic spirit between the eyebrows of Sun Ce, who is full of vegetarian energy, and it is difficult to hide the sadness between the heroic spirit. "That is, everything written in my father's reply letter is true, and my father's last words on his deathbed are also the best thing to deal with after he has seen everything before...... We were already unpopular in the middle of the country, and it was difficult for us to gain a foothold, and the local people did not regard us as an official government at all, but just as a group of water bandits from the south! ”

Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Xu Kun, Wu Jing, and Zu Mao were sad and uncertain, and the atmosphere was indescribable, but they were speechless.

And after a while, Sun Quan, who was only eleven years old on the side, couldn't help but pull his brother's sleeve and say something to break the silence: "What about the eldest brother?" Do you surrender to your father? ”

"In my opinion, it's better to vote for Liu Yuzhou." Before Sun Ce could speak, Zu Mao said indignantly. Compared with Cao Fenwu, Liu Yuzhou is much more decent...... He was originally the assassin of Yuzhou, and the general did have the meaning of the land of Runan and him during his lifetime, and he only took the land of Runan under his jurisdiction this time, and then stopped in Langling and did not move, which made people feel comfortable! ”

"I also think it's better to vote for Liu Yuzhou." Xu Kun couldn't help but interject. "Li Tong had a letter before, saying that after Liu Yuzhou occupied Langling, he had sent an envoy to him, and at that time he thought that he was persuading him to surrender and raise Deng County to Liu Yuzhou, so that more than ten cities in the south of Nanyang would not be spared......

"The result?" Sun Ce asked casually.

"As a result, Liu Yuzhou's envoy persuaded him to follow the way of his courtiers, guard Deng County with peace of mind, and don't worry about Langling's family and clansmen.

"This is indeed much more decent than Cao Fenwu, but on the other hand, it is also imperative for Runan, and Li Tong has been regarded as his person early." Zhu Zhi, who was wrapped in filial piety, responded solemnly. "But whether you are decent or not, have you ever thought about it...... Since Liu Yuzhou occupied Runan early, we also came up and promised him Runan, why is he still standing still in Langling? It was the autumn harvest time before, and although he only moved 10,000 soldiers, it would be of great use to put 10,000 soldiers back at such a time......"

"Didn't I say that?" Sun Ce said disapprerovingly. "This can only show that what Yafu said in the proclamation is true, from the overall situation, anyone can occupy Nanyang, but we are not qualified to occupy it, because the people are not convinced, and forcibly occupying this place will only make the overall situation of the Central Plains resist Hebei There are loopholes...... Therefore, the reason why Uncle Liu's garrison did not move was that he cherished his feathers, because I put on a posture of resistance and did not want to make a situation of uncle and nephew fighting; On the other hand, it is to focus on the overall situation, encourage and support the annexation of Nanyang by Ya Father! In other words, don't think about taking refuge in Uncle Liu, he supports my father. ”

At this point, Sun Ce paused for a moment, and then added: "It's not just that my uncle supports my father to take Nanyang, it's not just that the local people want my father to take it, it's that I have followed his father in Chenjun for a long time, and I also know that he is a big hero, and only in his hands can the Central Plains have the reason to compete with the back." The rest of the people, let's be fair, even Uncle Liu is also subject to his background and is congenitally deficient! ”

The hall fell silent again.

After a long time, Sun Quan, who was still young, couldn't bear it: "Big brother, since everyone in the world wants Yafu to occupy Nanyang, you also think that Yafu should take it according to reason, but why don't you let it go to him?" He is our father-in-law, or your father-in-law, he told you that day in Chenjun that he would make you a general in the future......"

"yes." Huang Gai finally spoke, but he also looked a little gloomy. "Since the young general also thinks that it should be Cao Fenwu who should come to do the Central Plains, then why don't you stay here? Cao Fenwu stopped his army in Bowang, as if he was waiting for you to see him. ”

"That's right!" Sun Ce took Sun Quan's hand, suddenly looked back at his own father's coffin in the hall, and then sighed. "Father has last words; The people of Nanyang have all made their choices; Uncle Liu gave enough decency; The father was even more straightforward and determined...... It stands to reason that when I talk about the overall situation, on human ethics, and about the current situation, I should raise Nanyang to surrender to Ya Father, and then rely on my father's Yu Ze to fight under Ya Father, and maybe I can have a great future in the future......"

Hearing this, everyone knew that their feelings were different, but they were looking forward to it or nervous.

"But why should I be reasonable?" At this point, Sun Cefu turned his head again, staring at his father's old subordinates, but his eyes were already red. "Why should I look at the big picture? Why do we need to talk about the current situation? When my father dies and leaves me with an inheritance, and then because I have a father who I cannot stop, I will give it up, will I not be allowed to be uneasy in my heart and in my spirit, and then I will act in perverse acts with anger? If everyone is reasonable, the overall situation, and everyone knows the current affairs, my Sun should have set up a reed raft to sell melons on the Fuchun River in Wu County! You should also be water bandits in Jiangnan, why are you talking about it here?! ”

Everyone in the hall had different expressions.

"I received the great favor of the first general, what did the young general command, Zu Mao had no words...... Isn't it just a life? After a moment of silence, Zu Mao was the first to bend down and call his life. If you want to use soldiers...... I'm going to be a pioneer! ”

"If you use troops, you will be defeated, so why use them?" Sun Ce smiled bitterly. "If there is no such father, I, Sun Ce and you, will work together, Runan and Yingchuan will not talk about it, Nanyang may not be stable, but with this father, no matter how dissatisfied I am and no matter how angry I am, I will not be able to rob him."

"What does the young general mean by that?" Zhu Zhi also bowed his head first to show his obedience, and then asked earnestly. "Please make it clear to the major general, what is perverse?"

"It's not perverse, but in line with the righteousness...... Sun Ce stepped forward to help Zhu Zhi and said proudly on the mourning hall. I want to follow my father's will to help the soul return to Jiangdong, and General Zhu wants to follow me across the river to my hometown in Wu County to start a new foundation? Zhu Gongwei is dying of old age, the two sons are one virtuous and one is disobedient, the disobedient is in charge of the soldiers and horses, but the virtuous one does not know martial arts, isn't it the right place to use? ”

Everyone was stunned, but Sun Ce continued to say slowly: "As for the land of Nanyang, the imperial court has its own serious Nanyang Taishou, and now it is in Nanyang, I want to raise the south of Wancheng to return to Lu Fujun, in order to return to his hometown from Jiangxia, isn't it also in line with the overall situation?" Maybe I can use this to ask the general to represent for me a position of 2,000 stones that my father is unwilling to give me! And at this moment, only by going from Jiangxia can we keep the soldiers and horses from being taken away, right? ”

Zhu Zhi, Zu Mao, Wu Jing, Xu Kun and others were all silent, but they were quite moved in their hearts...... It is difficult to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, and the key is that if Sun Ce is not in the middle, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to tolerate Cao Cao after this incident.

In this case, why not return to your hometown to start a business?

"The great grace of the general is broken first, and it is difficult to repay it if you die." After a pause, Huang Gai, who was under the watchful eye of everyone, finally spoke. "If the young general wants to go to Jiangdong, I am willing to follow!"

Sun Ce slowly bowed his head.

In other words, this is where Sun Ce is much stronger than in history, that is, Sun Jian became independent while he was alive, and fulfilled the personal allegiance of the core personnel within the group to him.

Sun Ce's son inherited his father's business, but he didn't need to go to great lengths to win over his father's old ministry in Yuan Shu's system as in history, and these core people were naturally loyal to Sun Ce.

Of course, the rest of the people are not like this, 10,000 elites, and how many are left in Jiangdong are two different things. But Sun Ce has made up his mind, but he is not convinced, he is not angry, he is not angry, he is not fair, he wants to do it himself, so where does he care?

On the other side, Cao Cao sat in Bowang, and waited for a long time to wait for his righteous son to come here, but instead waited for the latter to gather soldiers, horses, and family members, and led the crowd to help the spirit south, and then Lu Bu led the crowd to cross the water and the water in a row, and approached the news of Wancheng...... At first, Cao Cao didn't figure out the relationship between these two things, he just thought that Sun Ce avoided him because he was angry with him, and then his old department was grateful to Sun Jian's old kindness and escorted him out of the country, as for Lu Bu, he judged that he might take advantage of the fire to rob!

But as Lu Bu held the seal ribbon of Nanyang Taishou and took over the important places along the Huashui coast without bloodshed, and at the same time spread the news that the general Yuan Shu had expressed Sun Ce as the captain of the school, Cao Mengde suddenly realized that his godson was really angry with himself.

This little mad dog would rather go to the field and bite other beasts on his own than obey himself in exchange for some peace.

However, the news confirmed that Cao Cao urgently ordered troops to go south to seize Wancheng with Lu Bu, but he was not angry, but Xun Yu was difficult to accept for a while.

"Why is this the case?" Walking in the same car, all the way to the south, it was Cao Cao's turn to comfort Xun Yu.

"Some people don't know it!" Xun Yu blamed himself. "As the military division of the Ming Dynasty, I should persuade the Ming Dynasty to go to Wancheng as soon as possible, which is considered a dereliction of duty."

"Your plan is actually better than Zhang Liang...... Seventeen counties and thirty cities in Yingchuan, if it weren't for you, how could I take it down easily? Even the twenty counties north of Nanyang also have your contributions......"

"That's not what subordinates mean, and it's not that they don't understand things and have repetitions, and people have the truth of obedience." Xun Yu sat in the car and spoke earnestly. "It's just that I never thought that there are so many people in the world who don't care about the overall situation and do things perversely...... That Sun Ce is eighteen years old, he is still a teenager, and he still has such a relationship with the lord, just because he is not convinced, he wants to have a mess in vain, and he has to lead troops back to his hometown to divide the territory, but there are still so many people who are willing to obey him? ! ”

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Wenruo, who was half a head taller than him, but shook his head slightly: "Everyone can say this, but Wenruo and I can't say it......"

Xun Yu was stunned in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Why do you say that?" Cao Cao looked at the surrounding wilderness and said slowly. "Because you and I are people who go against the times and do perverse acts for our own selfishness, what qualifications do we have to say about an eighteen-year-old child? That kid did this, today he helped Ling Nan away, I don't think he will chase after his father's coffin, but one day in the future, will I be soft? Isn't this just like you and me in the eyes of Gongsun Wenqi? ”

"But let's ......" Xun Yu finally didn't hold back.

"In the eyes of Gongsun Wenqi, aren't we a person who ignores the overall situation and disturbs the world with selfish intentions?" The horse chariot jolted forward, and Cao Cao interrupted the other party's interface. "And if you add personal feelings, isn't there still a Liu Xuande? What is he in Wen Qi's eyes? It is certain that the swords and soldiers will meet each other in the future, but have you ever seen Gongsun Wenqi angry about this, and make it difficult to make a gaffe? And it's not just me Cao Cao, him Liu Bei, you Xun Yu, and Sun Ce, that kid is perverse? It was Gongsun Wenqi himself, under the overall situation of Dong and Yuan, didn't he also win the general trend of today's world with a perverse attitude? ”

Xun Yu was silent.

"In the final analysis, everyone has their own reasoning, and everyone has their own private thoughts...... Since the gamble is just a life, why bother to talk about what is right and wrong? Cao Cao continued to speak quietly. As far as we are concerned, as long as we feel that our own path is right, and then try our best to fight, why should we care about others? Only in the troubled times is not as good as the ordinary world, the ordinary world can also use the scriptures to argue, in the troubled times, different streams collide, it is inevitable that those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die, and that's it! ”

Xun Yu was still silent.

And Cao Cao caught a glimpse of this, but continued to mention one thing: "Wen Ruo, while letting himself rely on his identity, gathered with that Cui Yan and some other so-called celebrities in Yanzhou all day long, openly confronted my administration, and opposed my establishment of a public school, which made it difficult to abolish the inspection and change it to a scientific examination for a long time, which can be called extremely chaotic...... I thought I should kill him, otherwise the plan would be difficult, what do you think?! ”

Xun Yu was at a loss for a moment: "Why did Ming Gong say this at this time?" ”

"Don't you understand?" Cao Cao sighed faintly. "For us, Ace is no different from Bian Rang."

Xun Yu was finally stunned.

"We often say that traitors are troublesome in the world." Cao Cao continued to speak calmly. "But in fact, from the perspective of this dynasty, the world of disaster and the world of chaos are not the same group of people...... I have thought about Wen Qi's remarks and policies myself, plus the words you said to me at your home, as well as your own thoughts, and I have gained something......"

"I wish Wen Ming Gong would see it."

"I think that the one who brings disaster to the world is as Wen Qi said, in fact, it is Huan Ling, the family, and the Haoqiang; And what is in turmoil in the world is as you said, it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, and even his father-in-law Sun Xun, my Cao Cao, and Liu Bei in the south, even Sun Ce, who has just disturbed the world, can't escape this responsibility...... However, everything has a beginning and an end, there is a cause and effect, if there is no Huan Ling, the world, and the powerful first to harm the world, then the world will not be chaotic; And once Dong Zhuo and Er Yuan are in chaos in the world, then they should let go of the others first and calm the chaos first to fix the world; As for waiting until the world is stable, but still have to rule the world...... This order cannot be changed. At this time, Bian Rang and Sun Ce have their own reasons, either angry or angry, but this kind of resentment is precisely an obstacle for you and me to level the world, you can't think that he is more wrong just because Ace is a martial artist and the things he causes will kill people, and Bian Rang is a celebrity, he only talks and does not kill, so he is less wrong...... In the final analysis, the people who rule the world are still those who bring disaster to the world; And the people who determine the world are also those who are in turmoil, who is cleaner than whom? ”

Xun Yu sighed: "My subordinates know, but please Ming Gong take benevolence as the mind, drive out Bian Rang and Cui Yan, and do less killing,"

"Good!" Cao Cao replied simply, but he clenched the saber in his waist.

Providence is long, on the last day of August, Sun Ce Fuling entered the territory of Jiangxia, and Cao Cao was also in Wancheng on this day, but at this time Lu Bu had already sent his own cavalry to occupy the city first, but the rear army did not arrive, so it was driven by Cao Cao's battle, and then the two sides fought again on the bank of the water, Lu Bu moved forward with infantry, and the cavalry went around, defeated Cao Cao, but was defeated under the strong city of Wancheng.

The battle between the two sides was delayed for a while, and at this moment, the news reached Langling, and Liu Bei, who had been standing still, finally moved.

"Two things." Liu Xuande summoned the whole army, but he was fully armored and expressionless, and he commanded directly. "First, send a message to Zhang Zibu and tell him that if Sun Ce, this kid goes down the river to Jiangdong...... Thinking that his father's coffin was in the army, he could be supplied along the way, but he wanted to publicly reprimand him for me in the name of my uncle for colluding with the traitor Yuan Shu, and openly solicit his subordinates along the way, and persuade those people to stay in Huainan and not to disturb Jiangdong! ”

Naturally, the crowd had nothing to say.

"Second, send troops immediately!" Liu Bei's words were concise and to the point.

"Brother, are you going to beat Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei's spirit was lifted.

"Lu Fengxian is the Taishou of Nanyang appointed by the imperial court, and he is not nameless." Liu Bei replied calmly.

"You can't beat Cao Mengde, right?" Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment.

"Cao Mengde is my righteous brother, who has won the hearts of Yingchuan people, and attacks the unrighteous ......"

"And who are we going to fight?"

"Call Li Tong of Deng County, let's follow the ass of this little mad dog Ace, and go to Jiangxia to crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu!" Liu Bei stood up with his knife and replied proudly. "The reason why the Central Plains continues to be in trouble, isn't it because of Yuan Shu, a dog thief?!"
