Thinking of this, Cao Cao only felt clear in his heart, and he no longer had any doubts.

Gu Nan looked at Cao Cao's thoughtful expression, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, squinted his eyes with a smile, and said out loud.

"Mengde, why don't I make a bet with you? And in three days someone will lead the multitude up. ”

"Let's bet two dollars."

Cao Cao had already figured things out at this time, and when he heard Gu Nan's words, how could he be fooled.

glanced at Gu Nan and said pretending to be serious.

"Sir, why are you also a scholar and sage, why are you so covered in copper stench?"

"What's more, Mr. knew what would happen three days later, and he made a bet with the, took these two pieces of money for nothing, and did this business without capital, don't you think it is a loss of virtue as a scholar?"

When Gu Nan saw Cao Cao's attitude, he naturally knew that he had already figured it out, and the two hanging money should not be cheated.

Glancing at his mouth: "I knew this was the case, why don't I tell you first, and make this bet." ”

Cao Cao saw Gu Nan's misstep, so he grinned and laughed smugly.

"Hahahaha, it's not so simple for Mr. to cheat and."

The doubts in my heart were solved, and I was not so depressed, and my heart was a lot more relaxed.

Cao Cao finished laughing, looked at the water, and breathed a long sigh of relief, Dong Zhuo will be killed, and he will be killed.

looked at Gu Nan seriously.

", thank you, sir."

"Why don't you settle those two pennies for me?" Gu Nan held the sword, still thinking about the two hanging money.

Fang Cai could have earned it for nothing, but he ran away like this, and he was really unwilling.

Cao Cao turned his head sideways and looked at Gu Nan for a while, then suddenly laughed.

I don't know what he was laughing at, Gu Nan asked.

"Mengde, why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing, sir, it's weird."

Cao Cao sat on the ground and smiled, half-tilting his head and saying.

"With the talent of a gentleman, how can he lack money, but he is so worried about two pieces of money, it is really strange."

Gu Nan sat in place, silent for a moment, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"I don't know why."

"Yes." Cao Cao only thought that Gu Nan was joking with him, but he didn't care.

Lying down, he leaned lightly against a stone on the ground, glanced at the Wuge in Gu Nan's arms, and said with a little nostalgia in his eyes.

"In the past, I also liked to practice swords, and I thought of myself as a ranger, and I wanted to be able to be light and fast, and hold a sword and fight for righteousness, wouldn't such a person be happy?"

"Don't joke with Mr., I also did a lot of nonsense back then, and I once robbed my relatives with Benchu. The bride was so good-looking, I robbed it on a whim, and I didn't do anything else, so I let it go. ”

"As a result, the whole family chased them out, and on the way to escape, Ben Chu fell into the thorns, so I pointed at him and shouted: The thief is here, he turned around and ran, and his face was pale with fright, hahaha."

Cao Cao smiled and didn't know if he was laughing too much, or why, and the corners of his eyes were moist when he smiled.

"It's ridiculous to think about that kind of day now, but it's also fun."

"However, the way of this world is not peaceful."

Perhaps only those born in troubled times know how rare an word is, and how can they survive in the chaos of a world.

"Mr. Gu, you said that if the world is hard, what do you do in life?"

Cao Cao asked.

Gu Nan hugged the slightly cool Wuge, and the sword body leaned on her arms.

"Born to suffer."

······

Cao Cao stopped laughing, and suddenly, he asked instead, "Mr. Gu, what do you want those two hangs of money for?" ”

“···” Gu Nan paused and replied.

"I said I wanted to buy a better sword for Qi'er, but I haven't bought it until now."

"Qi'er."

Cao Cao's eyes were gentle, the little girl was careful everywhere in the house, such a big child, sensible people didn't know what to say.

He patted the sword at his waist: "Then I'll send a good one." When it comes to swords, there are a few occasional ones, and the bento is an uncle's gift. ”

······

In the barracks at night, the tents were darkened on all sides, and the lights in the tents were still on in one place.

The lights cast the figure on the tent, and the figure slowly fluctuated under the shaking of the firelight.

There were three people in the tent, one of whom sat on the main seat, wearing armor on his body, wearing a military crown on his head, and two wild goose feathers on his side. The face is heroic, there is a compelling sharpness between the eyebrows, and there is a slight beard at the corner of the mouth, which adds a little more to the spirit. He is slender and wears a rhino leather iron armor lined with a black shirt. is very generous, just looking at it makes people break the knots.

In front of him stood two scribes, both of whom were standing in a prostration.

"Yuan Gong, there is a report that Dong Zhuoqin led more than 100,000 troops to the Tiger Prison, with Lu Bu as the first army, and Li Dao and Guo Yan as the rear army. The number of people is unknown, but the momentum is huge. ”

One of the scribes bowed down and handed over a scroll of cloth in his hand to the man known as Yuan Gong on the main seat.

The man on the main seat took the cloth, spread it out in his hand, and glanced briefly at what was written on the cloth.

Raising his head, he looked at the other scribe and asked.

"Gong Ze, what do you think?"

The other scribe thought for a while, then bent down and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Gong, I think the time is coming. Dong Zhuo came, all parties would kill themselves if they didn't fight, and at this time, when Yuan Gong raised troops, they must all respond in unison. ”

"Okay." The shoulders of the people on the main seat sank: "Then prepare to raise the army." ”

······

Two days later, a three-story platform was erected in the barracks.

On the high platform, the flags of all parties are erected, and the white and yellow Yue are built on it, and the soldiers will be sealed.

The smoke of the Ding furnace is burned, in which incense pillars are burned, and the smoke is diffused.

And under the high platform, the soldiers are arrayed, the generals are draped, and the princes of all sides sit in their respective seats. As half of the incense on the platform was burned off, one of the men sitting at the head of the princes stood up and walked towards the high platform with his armor on.

His person is Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance recommended by the coalition army.

Dressed and wearing a sword, he slowly stepped up to the high platform, took the incense handed by the person on the side and lit it, turned around and bowed deeply to the bank of the water.

"The Han family is unfortunate, and the emperor is out of control. The thief Dong Zhuo, took advantage of the provocation and indulgence, added disaster to the supreme, and abused the people. Shao and others were afraid of the loss of the society, entangled the volunteers, and went to the country. Whoever is allied with me and works together to make the ministers have no two aspirations. There is this alliance of Chongqing, and it is impossible to lose its life, and there is no legacy. The emperor and the queen of heaven, the ancestors and the spirits, are all learned! ”

Yuan Shao's voice was loud, ringing in everyone's ears, and after speaking, he stood in the incense burner with the incense pillar in his hand.

He picked up a jar of animal blood that was placed on the stage and drank it, and the blood left from the corner of his mouth.

Reaching out to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, the corners of his mouth were still slightly red.

Cao Cao, who was seated down, looked at Yuan Shao, stood up, held a wine glass in his hand, and said loudly.

"Today, since the leader of the alliance has been established, each will listen to the dispatch, and support the country together, and do not count the strength or weakness."

Yuan Shao glanced at Cao Cao gratefully, if no one responded at this time, he would inevitably be a little discouraged.

"Although Shao is not talented, he is promoted as the leader of the alliance, and he will be rewarded for his merits, and he will be punished for his crimes. The state has permanent punishment, and the army has discipline. Obey it and do not transgress it. ”
