The feast was gone, and the scorched wood that remained of sparks was filled with smoke......

The two figures walked in the barracks with a little vanity, followed by dozens of guards such as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and saw the soldier who was asleep with a weapon, and the drunken figure spoke: "....... Today, I made a poem to make Gongsun smile. ”

Gongsun Zhi smiled and waved his hand.

"Sikong ideals, may all the people, may the country, how can I laugh. If everyone had the idea of making a living for the people, the country would not be in chaos, and everyone would be able to live in old age...... I believe that someone may be able to achieve ...... in the future."

"Gongsun."

This future Wei Wu rarely confided his heart at this time, his drunken demeanor showed a slight smile, and his hands were behind his back: "Do you know, you killed the emperor, but I got a fake one, why did I come over?" Without this little emperor in the Han Dynasty, nine other emperors surnamed Liu may emerge in Kyushu in the world, not only because of the needs of the divided princes, but also because the local big clans and great families also need imperial power to maintain the power in their hands. ”

There was a smile on his face, but he couldn't see anything in his eyes, and when he took a breath, he raised his hand, and his voice was majestic and vicissitudes: "....... What I can do, one is to use the imperial power to sweep away these people, and the other is to consolidate the imperial power and greatly delay the speed of the country's erosion...... How did you follow the three Zhang Jiao brothers to rebel, in those years, starvation was everywhere, the old man starved to death, the child was used as food, as a Hanchen, he should have protected the people, seeing those corpses, I couldn't eat for a few days......"

The extinguishing fire swayed and shone on the ground and on the tent, and there was silence for a while, Gongsun Zhi remembered what Guo Jia had said to him in the Xu Capital prison that day, turned his head, and on the opposite side of his eyes, Cao Cao was lifting a tent curtain to inspect the state of the surrounding soldiers.

"That's because the big man lacks centripetal force, or cohesion." Gongsun Zhi opened his mouth abruptly, and continued to walk side by side with Cao Cao, who had turned around.

"Hmm...... With foreign enemies, the princes of the towns of the Han Dynasty should not be able to sit still. ”

Cao Cao is such a smart person, in one sentence he understands the key, ponders for a moment, and shakes his head with a smile: "When ...... the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were beaten and divided, and now Xianbei has been made by your white wolf and has begun to speak Chinese, where is there any foreign enemy that can make the princes of all walks of life frightened?" Nanban or Shangoe? Even the Qiang people in the west were beaten by the Ma family's father and son, and the Western Regions farther away are all small countries, built today and dying tomorrow, will they still have the confidence to unite? Gongsun thinks too highly of them. ”

The road was quiet again.

"Perhaps, what about the Great Qin people or the rest people?" After a while, walking around, I only heard Gongsun Zhi say: "Sikong, the world Kyushu wants to fight down one by one, the middle victory and defeat, how long will the delay be, I can't say how long you are dead, and I am also old, and I have not necessarily really unified the world, when the time comes, we will stay in bed, will we regret today's decision one day?" ”

"Don't go around in circles with your white wolf temperament, you can't arouse the interest in listening."

The footsteps moving in front stopped, and the dozens of guards behind him, Dian Wei and Xu Chu glanced at each other, and retreated a few steps towards the rear to be on guard. Gongsun Zhi looked at each other, and said in a low voice: "Acting in a play with the Ma family in the west, making things bigger, Liu Biao and Liu Yan will never sit idly by, after all, the Han family is their old Liu family, and when the situation is serious, in the name of the imperial court, they will recall them to lead the army to go out, or enter the government of the dynasty, they will all enter the urn, look at the world, except for Er Yuan, these two people are the most powerful, as for Jiangdong, there is a man named Sun Ce, but the blood is brave and strong, and there are already eight states in Kyushu in the world at that time, and he can't turn over the wind and waves." ”

Cao Cao, dressed in black robes, stood there majestically and thought for a while.

"What a big game of chess...... he whispered, his frowning brows stretched, and his eyes looked calmly at the night ahead, "Let's not talk about whether the Xiliangma family is willing or not, Han Sui next to you won't let you and me get your wish." Also, Liu Yan and Liu Biao entered the court, and you also know that the emperor is fake, and when the two of them see it, or someone reports the news, the matter will be troublesome. ”

In the black, Gongsun Zhi's eyes were also looking at the night, and the cold words came over: "The Ma family, I'll go." If Han Sui obstructs it, I will be the first to do it first, and as for the emperor who knows the identity of the emperor in the court, he still has to rely on Sikong to do it. ”

"Huh? Well! ”

The eyes of the two looked at each other, and Cao Cao naturally understood the meaning of his words, "I'm already doing it." ”

"This secret should be known as few people as possible......," he paused, his eyes narrowed, "After hunting this tiger, let's go back to Xudu together, how about going hunting with me to Xutian over there......"

Gongsun Zhi smiled.

The two talked for a while, and began to walk back, and when they were about to separate, Cao Cao over there suddenly asked, "Then Liu Bei, what do you think of Gongsun?" ”

"I don't know Liu Bei, but his subordinate Guan Zhang is still quite brave."

"Well, I see."

The two sides bowed their hands to each other, and soon left with their respective guards and returned to the tent. However, they all knew in their hearts that all this could only be realized after getting rid of the behemoth of Yuan Shao, and it didn't make much sense to talk about it at the moment.

The night was still deep, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, the barracks were still in the hearty mood after celebration, and the patrolling crowd was weaving and shuttling, like threads passing from different places, interweaving, and extending in different directions, turning into an intricate fate.

After dawn, the infantry and cavalry combined the troops, a large number of soldiers were rubbed into a death camp, the rear is Cao Cao's more than 40,000 Chinese army, left and right is Gongsun Zhi's 10,000 cavalry as the flanks, forming a real sense of the army, the order to pull out the camp to go out reached the lower level, nearly 70,000 troops began to march eastward, and the mighty pounced on Xiapi.

On the 17th of April, when the morning sun rose above the clouds, thousands of Bingzhou cavalry finally rushed into the military camp outside Xiapi City, and Lü Bu entered the city gate with the generals, and the news of the defeat spread soon after, and the clouds of war finally shrouded the top of the city.

On the city tower, Hao Meng, who was dressed in armor, looked at Wen Hou who galloped into the city, his face was not happy because of his return, and in his gloomy face, under the city wall, there were people who were dusty, passed the stairs, stopped after coming up to the city, stuffed a message into the hands of a soldier, and whispered something.

Unconsciously, when Hao Meng's eyes noticed that there was a soldier who received the news, he came over and conveyed the message in his hand to him, and he looked at it.

"You go quietly and take the man in the cell and hide him, and I'll see him at night, and remember not to let anyone else know." Hao Meng whispered, and then, holding the hilt of the sword, continued to patrol the city, but his palms were full of cold sweat.

It would be the boldest decision of his life.
