"Drama Zhicai listens to orders! You are greedy for life and afraid of death, and if you violate military orders, although you can keep Xuchang, you can avoid the death penalty, and you can't escape the living crime! From today on, you will be deprived of your position as a military advisor, demoted to sacrificial wine in the army, and deducted for one year, and you will be convinced!? I saw Cao Cao's eyes shining with a solemn complexion, and he was amazing.

"My lord!!" Xiahoudun shouted first.

"My lord, the military advisor has immeasurable merits, and he is deeply loved by the three armies, and it is really not worth depriving him of his position for such a trivial matter!!" Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said.

"Please think twice!!" Le Jin hurriedly arched his hand, his face was full of confusion, and shouted loudly. Soon, all the soldiers in the city shouted in unison: "Please think twice!" ”

"Huh... If I don't enforce the law impartially, how can I serve the world? Under this burst of loud momentum, Cao Cao seemed to be a little shaken, and sighed softly.

Since ancient times, the world is in the hands of the family, the emperor's family is the largest family, the power of the world can be said to be divided in the hands of the big and small families, the family supports the emperor, and the emperor selects talents from the family as officials, in order to build a dynasty and rule the world.

Because of this, if you are in a peaceful and prosperous world, if you are from a humble background, even if you have high skills and talents, I am afraid that you will not be able to get ahead in your life.

And it is precisely because of the troubled times now that a person like Xi Zhicai from a poor family has a chance. Of course, most of the princes in various places still put the talents of the family first, and often promise important positions, after all, he not only gets a talent, but also has the support of a family.

It can be seen from this that the influence of the family's power is great, if Cao Cao does not punish Xi Zhicai, thus offending the families all over the world, he will naturally not be able to serve the world!

At this time, Xi Zhicai suddenly smiled, bowed his head, and said: "The lord is an immortal talent, and in the future, the world's talents will definitely flock to it, one less drama Zhicai, and thousands of drama talents, what is the pity of the lord!?" Xi Zhicai received the punishment! ”

Every sentence and every word of Xi Zhicai was like a shock in Cao Cao's heart, but Cao Cao wanted to pretend to be cold, snorted coldly, threw off his cloak, walked away, and shouted coldly: "Okay, I don't have time to pay attention to the rats like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and immediately report to the major families in the city for me, I will set up a banquet in the city tonight to show that the families will help our army to protect the grace of Xuchang!" ”

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, the soldiers who followed behind hurriedly received the order, and a cadre of civil and military officers also chased Cao Cao away in a hurry, and they couldn't bother to appease Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai secretly lowered his head, knelt on the ground, and was silent.

"Strategist, although you have lost this position, from today onwards, you have become the first military advisor in Aman's mind. I've wronged you. Xiahoudun walked over and patted Zhicai's shoulder, and as soon as the words fell, he had already walked over.

"No, it's an honor for the play." Xi Zhicai raised his head slightly, and there were two lines of coldness in his eyes. When many people saw it, they thought that Xi Zhicai was in pain, unwilling to strip off his job, and secretly felt sorry for him.

That night, the major families in Xuchang felt particularly relieved of Cao Cao's removal of Xi Zhicai's position as a military advisor, as well as Xi Zhicai's crying under the city, and after being invited by Cao Cao, they went one after another.

Cao Cao set up a banquet in the city government, warm hospitality, the heads of the major families saw that Cao Cao had the style of not being a hero, and now the power is expanding rapidly, and the troops are strong and strong, and they all have the heart to make friends with Cao Cao.

The night was hazy, and Cao Cao was standing on the first floor of the pavilion at this time, looking at the bright moon, and said softly: "I got a Xuchang City, but I lost you." Not worth it, not worth it. ”

"Hehe, the lord is wrong with this. Everything has two sides, yin and yang, like the sun and the moon, day and night, alternating with each other, this is the operation of the heavenly way. The play is willing to be the month of the lord. Xi Zhicai smiled faintly, and looked at the bright moon in the world.

"Then who can take the place of this day?"

"Xun Yu is the talent of Wang Zuo, not only from a family, but also a person who is upright and upright, and can be a sunny day." Xi Zhicai had already considered it, and without thinking, he opened his mouth and said.

"You and I thought of another piece. At this point, Xun Yu can't compare. Cao Cao listened, and couldn't help but look at Xi Zhicai slightly.

"Xun Yu's wisdom is not inferior to the play, and even far better than the play. It's just that he puts benevolence and righteousness first in everything, so he is very jealous and creates his own restraints, so he can be yang and not yin.

I am different, everything is based on the interests of the lord, design considerations, and naturally I can think of going with the lord. But I still lack a little ruthlessness, if Jia Xu can take refuge in the lord, and Xun Yu has a yin and a yang, complementing each other, the lord's great cause can be achieved! Xi Zhicai said in a condensed voice, thinking that if Cao Cao's staff had Jia Xu to join in the future, it would be perfect, and his eyes were even more excited.

Regarding the selflessness of Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao couldn't help sighing: "In fact, Zhicai can be yin or yang, and he is not as good as Jia Xu and Xun Yu in terms of wisdom and rationality, but he has the ability of both of them, and he is the most comprehensive." Just like Xiao He of Gaozu, it is Cao's luck to be able to get talent. ”

"The lord praises it. Is there one thing I don't know if I should ask? After Xi Zhicai bowed his hand, his smile suddenly froze, and he asked cautiously.

"Why should you and I be polite?"

"I don't know why the lord hesitated when he hoped that Xu Chang would come to the rescue?"

When Cao Cao heard this, after hesitating for a while, he sighed and said with a little resentment: "It's that damn head disease again!" ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, his eyes opened slightly, in fact, he had already thought of it. It turned out that Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo back then, and when he was fleeing for his life, he fell off his horse and hit his head, but he couldn't heal his injuries. At that time, there was heavy rain, and Cao Cao's head injury healed seriously, but at that time, in order to take advantage of the rain to escape, he hurried in the starry night, and finally saved his life. But since then, the root of the disease has fallen. And this disease sometimes comes and goes, but it is sometimes light, Cao Cao invited many famous doctors to treat it, but they were helpless.

In the past six months, the head disease rarely attacked, and Cao Cao ignored it, but he didn't expect it to attack at a critical time, which made Cao Cao lose the best opportunity to rescue Xuchang.

But it is said that since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and fled back to the land of Sanfu, the princes of the world fought against each other, in this troubled era when the strong are kings and the losers are cowards, since some people can rise like the rising sun, but there are also people like sunset dusk.

With the death of Han Fu, Kong Ling, Zhang Miao, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai (not dead) and other princes, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Ma Xi, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other rising stars, each of them faintly has the momentum of dominating one side.

And Liu Yu in Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, as well as Liu Miao in Yangzhou, are all waiting for an opportunity.

In the fifth year of the first peace, Cao Cao captured Xuchang, and Cao Ren withdrew from Yangcheng, but Sun Jian took advantage of the defeat of Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling, captured Peiguo, and obtained the land. Although Yuan Shu was furious, he was afraid that the Cao and Sun families would join forces, plus the trip to Yanzhou by Yuan Yi and others, the loss of troops and generals, and the defeat of Ji Ling, so he had no choice but to listen to Yuan Shu's persuasion and temporarily suspend the war.

In addition, Yuan Shao and Ma Xi are also stabilizing the situation in Ji and Yan, so the wars in the world have stopped, and the rare places in various places are particularly calm, but in fact, they have focused their eyes on one place, that is, the land of Sanfu where fierce beasts are entrenched.

Sanfu is Yongzhou, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty, the geography is westerly, because it is close to the Central Plains, and because the land is fertile, so the population is extremely large.

It is said that Dong Zhuo set his capital in Chang'an, the old capital of the Western Han Dynasty, repaired the palace again, held the Son of Heaven and a group of officials of the imperial court hostage, and established a new court here. Now that two years have passed, although Emperor Liu Xie has grown up a lot, he still needs to listen to Dong Zhuo's opinions, and he is coerced, and Dong Zhuo is extremely suspicious, and Li Ru is offering advice on the left and right, Liu Xie has no chance to get close to the ministers of the DPRK and China on weekdays, except for the early dynasty, every day is like being placed under house arrest by Dong Zhuo in the palace, and he is not allowed to leave an inch.

Dong Zhuo's power is so great that it can almost be said that he covers the sky with one hand, and because Sanfu is Dong Zhuo's nest, there are Dong Zhuo's people everywhere, compared to when he was in Luoyang, the situation of Emperor Liu Xie is only bad, and all officials are also cowardly to Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and many of them are secretly under Dong Zhuo's command.

Of course, Dong Zhuo's ambition is more than one overlord, what he wants is the world, the entire Han family!

So he chose to listen to Li Ru's advice, endured it for two years, and has been cultivating in Taoguang, training the army, and letting other princes fight each other and loot the land. Because he knows very well, but when he makes a comeback and returns to the Central Plains again, whether it is the city, money, food, or women, all of them will belong to him Dong Zhongying!

Inside the Taishi's Mansion. I saw that the inner hall was repaired luxuriously and luxuriously, surrounded by gold carvings and jade, gorgeous treasures, which can be described as magnificent. But said that Dong Zhuo dug up the imperial tombs of the Han family, got countless gold and silver treasures, can be described as a rich world, so Dong Zhuo spent extravagantly on weekdays, in these two years, Dong Zhuo was also comfortable, and his subordinates indulged in prostitution all day long, fortunately Li Ru persuaded several times, and later because he heard about the rise of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Ma Xi, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and other princes, Dong Zhuo repeatedly sounded the alarm, Dong Zhuo was curbed, and strictly ordered his subordinates to review and improve, this atmosphere was alleviated.

On this day, I saw Dong Zhuo wearing a black dragon and tiger robe, his face was full of red light, and his figure was much more fat than before, huge and fat, like a bulky giant bear, sitting alone in the upper hall, supporting his face and cheeks with one hand, lying half-leaning, there were two delicate and beautiful maids on the left and right, but with light clothes and slender figures, who were fanning the banana-like fan.

"Hey, hey! These little beasts finally discovered that Lao Tzu is the number one overlord in the world, Taoguang has been obscure for two years, I thought that everyone in the world had forgotten about me Dong Jackal! Dong Zhuo grinned, and then picked up the cup on the table, opened a big mouth, and the wine in the cup was quickly poured into Dong Zhuo's big mouth, like a whale swallowing an elephant drink.

"Hahaha~~!! I also want the lord to give an order, and I will wait for Xiliang Erlang to immediately carry a sharp blade and ride a BMW, so that the world will know how powerful the jackal and tiger's fangs are!! Guo Yan laughed loudly, and immediately slapped a sycophant, Ying He smiled.

"The lord is the overlord of the day, and the princes of the world were shamelessly united, so that we were at a loss, and we had to return to Sanfu, which made the lord ashamed. In the past two years, our generals and colonels all want to return to the Central Plains, and now hundreds of thousands of Xiliang male soldiers have been prepared, but the lord has an order, and they can all march!! Li Qi rose angrily, his eyes shimmering, and he shouted in a condensed voice.

"In recent years, Yongzhou has had a bumper harvest, and now there are 200,000 quintals of grain in Sanfutun, and the grain is sufficient, and then the armies are fully equipped, and then there are countless siege weapons under the strong support of the lord, and now everything can be said to be complete, just wait for the lord to order!!" Li Su also stood up immediately, looked excited, and said in a loud voice.

"Good, good!!" Dong Zhuo's huge eyes shot out two rays of light suddenly, and after shouting twice, he looked at Li Ru on the left seat of the hall. But seeing Li Ru wearing a white flying crane robe, wearing a crown and hat, his face was like a crown of jade, fair and chic, and his complexion was excellent, seeing Dong Zhuo's gaze, he couldn't help but smile and stood up slowly, and everyone turned their eyes to him at this time.

Everyone in the world knows that Li Ru is Dong Zhuo's think tank and chief strategist. Dong Zhuo's desire to enter the Central Plains this time and establish an immortal cause is absolutely inseparable from Li Ru's strategy.

"The lord wants to take the world, I have three plans!" Li Ru's eyes were bright, confident, confident, and said in a condensed voice.

"Say!" Dong Zhuo knocked on the case and said shockedly. When Li Ru heard this, he immediately shook his spirits, his expression was solemn, and he said quickly: "First plan, the reason why our army was caught off guard by the alliance of princes back then was because there was no rear support, so the lord had to take and merge the state first!"

And now the state is due to the rebellion of the white wave thief Guo Tai, Zhang Yang is old, the generals under his command are unable to crusade, and the state is chaotic, the so-called opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, now is a good time to take the state! ”
