Chapter Twenty-Six: False Scolding and True Intentions
The Dong army was defeated and retreated, and the army of the princes of the Eighth Route went straight into the pass, and wanted to continue to pursue the Dong army, but Xu Zisheng ordered the poor Kou Mo to chase and rest and recuperate, after all, Xu Zisheng was also an ordered military advisor no matter what he said, and Cao Cao did not object to this order, and the rest of the princes could only be kept in their hearts even if they were dissatisfied.
At this time, the princes of the Eighth Route led by Cao Cao were resting in a restaurant, discussing how to proceed with the next march by the way.
Because Xu Zisheng was a military advisor, he was able to discuss business with the princes, while Mo Shuyan and the others could only sit far away, and they could hardly hear the princes' conversations clearly.
Watching the princes and Xu Zisheng talk carefully, Mo Shuyan didn't feel anything unpleasant, but the next move made Mo Shuyan quite a headache.
Although he already knew that the jade seal was in Luoyang Well, Xu Zisheng would not know that Xu Zisheng, who planned to unify the Three Kingdoms, would definitely not let go of the jade seal and get the jade seal, which undoubtedly made Xu Zisheng easier to be recognized by the world.
Frowning slightly, Mo Shuyan slowly picked up the teacup, spilled some tea, dipped it with his hand, and gently wrote the word Luoyang on the table, and already had a general idea in his heart.
First of all, Xu Zisheng must be stopped, and Xu Zisheng cannot be allowed to go to Luoyang; secondly, to stop Sun Jian so as not to fall into Sun Jian's hands; Third, it is necessary to arrange for someone to take the jade seal, and this person can swallow the jade seal without favoring desire.
Only by doing these three things at the same time can we ensure that the jade seal does not fall into the hands of Xu Zisheng and does not fall into the hands of ambitious people.
Mo Shuyan looked down at the word Luoyang written in the tea, fell into deep thought, and didn't even notice that the princes had finished discussing and left, Xu Zisheng didn't know why, and accompanied Cao Cao to Mo Shuyan.
It wasn't until the two of them walked to Mo Shuyan's side that Mo Shuyan suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up and said to Cao Cao: "Lord." ”
"Hmm." Cao Cao agreed, but his eyes flickered slightly, just because he saw the two words written by Mo Shuyan: Luoyang.
Now Dong Zhuo retreated to Luoyang, gathered the defeated army, and even Lu Bu returned to Luoyang, no longer a straggler, the dragons were leaderless, and the princes finally decided to agree to Xu Zisheng's suggestion, recuperate in the Tiger Prison Pass, wait for Yuan Shao's order to come, and then proceed to the next step.
Could it be that Mo Shuyan has any thoughts about Luoyang? Cao Cao had a lot of doubts in his heart, but Xu Zisheng was beside him, so it was inconvenient to ask more, after all, Xu Zisheng In Cao Cao's opinion, the city was too deep, and he had to be cautious.
The word Luoyang, naturally, did not escape Xu Zisheng's eyes, seeing this two words, the corners of Xu Zisheng's mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were full of sarcasm, and he was quite disdainful in his heart.
Looking at Mo Shuyan, Cao Cao said calmly: "Mr. Xu wants to talk to you alone, after chatting, come back early, the Tiger Prison Pass is not peaceful now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be dead soldiers left, and you must be careful." ”
"No, thank you for your concern." Mo Shuyan sent a series to Cao Cao from the heart, from Cao Cao's explanation, he could hear his sincere concern, it seems that Xu Zisheng's arrival made Cao Cao dilute his suspicions of himself.
Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded and left the restaurant with his subordinates, and the rest of the princes and subordinates also left, leaving only Mo Shuyan, Xu Zisheng, Zhang Lie, and Zhao Yun in the restaurant.
Xu Zisheng didn't say a word, sat directly opposite Mo Shuyan, poured a cup of tea for himself without any fluctuation, took a sip, looked at the right side with his eyes, and waved his hand towards Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun understood what Xu Zisheng meant, didn't ask, and turned around and left directly.
Seeing this, Mo Shuyan spit in his heart: Don't you want to show off that you can command Zhao Yun at will? What's the big deal.
Thinking so, Mo Shuyan's eyes shifted to Zhang Lie beside him, and like Xu Zisheng, he waved his hand at Zhang Lie, but Zhang Lie saw it, but he just showed a strange look and did not leave, but his eyes blinked as if asking what Mo Shuyan meant.
The laughter immediately came out of Xu Zisheng's mouth, and Mo Shuyan who listened to it was quite harsh, and his eyes when he looked at Zhang Lie were also full of despair and helplessness, sure enough, Zhang Lie was a rough person, and he didn't understand these details at all.
wanted to return Xu Zisheng's "return gift", but was suddenly broken by Zhang Lie, Mo Shuyan's eyes were full of disgust and said to Zhang Lie: "Hurry up and go out, escort the lord back!" Don't get in the way here. ”
"I'm ......" Zhang Lie slapped the table and got up, wanting to reason with Mo Shuyan, but in exchange for Mo Shuyan being dragged directly to the staircase.
"If you are told to go, you will go, there is so much nonsense!" Mo Shuyan pretended to be angry and scolded, and deliberately pulled Zhang Lie's placket, looking like he wanted to fight.
Without waiting for Zhang Lie to resist, Mo Shuyan, who was facing Xu Zisheng with his back to him, looked at him with a solemn look in his eyes, and said softly: "Go back, let the lord go to Luoyang by horse, and then go to all the wells in Luoyang City, please believe me once, don't tell the other princes, go alone." ”
When Zhang Lie heard this, his eyes widened, and it happened to fall in Xu Zisheng's eyes, and suddenly the reason why Mo Shuyan stood there for so long without speaking, dared to love that the two were still staring at each other, for a while, Xu Zisheng felt that he didn't want to kill Mo Shuyan so much, he was still a very fun opponent, and it was a pity to kill him.
"Get out." With a loud shout, Mo Shuyan let go of Zhang Lie, turned his head, and walked towards Xu Zisheng with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Zhang Lie, who came back to his senses, had no clue in his heart, but he still chose to believe Mo Shuyan, and deliberately acted very angry, walking out with heavy footsteps.
Hearing this kind of deliberate footsteps, Xu Zisheng saw that Mo Shuyan's face became even deeper, almost like a powder keg with a lead, exploding at any time.
However, Xu Zisheng didn't care at all, he took the teacup and drank it all, looked at Mo Shuyan coldly and said: "I have already sent an order to Yuan Shao to drag Sun Jian, and it is also my credit to break the two levels, you still want to get your hands on the jade seal, do you think I really won't kill you?" ”
"You will." Mo Shuyan sat down and replied lightly.
Hearing this, Xu Zisheng nodded lightly, and said again: "If you know, you will keep to yourself, and it is not impossible to leave your life, after all, no matter how you say it, it is also a world over, and it is much more interesting than these civil and military generals." ”
With a chuckle, Mo Shuyan shook his head, looked at Xu Zisheng with twinkling eyes and said, "It's a pity that I'm not the master of peace!" ”
Mo Shuyan's words instantly made Xu Zisheng furious, staring at Mo Shuyan with eyes like a hungry wolf, and he had the intention of destroying Mo Shuyan if he didn't agree with him.
The restaurant was silent for a moment, leaving only the two of them looking at each other without giving in.
