Coming out of the mansion, the night was already dark, only Cao Cao, Mo Shuyan and Gongsun Zan were left behind, and the rest of the princes had already returned to their camps, so uncomfortable.

As soon as they left the house, the three of them stopped, and Gongsun Zan said to Cao Cao with a solemn face: "Meng De, now according to your words, let Yuan Shao take the throne, what should happen next?" ”

"Let it go, act on the opportunity, don't do anything, wait for the opportunity." Cao Cao said indifferently, without the slightest fluctuation.

Hearing this, Gongsun Chan had no choice but to nod, sighed, said goodbye to Cao Cao, and turned to leave.

After Gongsun Chan left, Cao Cao went straight down the steps, and went to the Cao family without saying a word, Mo Shuyan, who couldn't talk about it, took a deep look at Cao Cao's back, followed, kept a distance from Cao Cao, and quietly looked at Cao Cao's generous back.

Neither of them spoke, silently walking on the dark, silent road, the merchants on both sides, people, have long been closed to sleep, leaving only three or two sleepy cicadas and the footsteps of the two people in the night.

Mo Shuyan really couldn't think of what was wrong, and asked rashly, for fear that it would arouse Cao Cao's suspicions, but if he didn't ask, Mo Shuyan's heart was like a boulder, and he was a little out of breath.

Suddenly, Cao Cao in front of Mo Shuyan stopped, and Mo Shuyan, who almost didn't stop, almost bumped into Cao Cao, and suddenly took a few steps back helplessly, looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, and wanted to ask: My uncle, what's wrong with you.

"Who is squatting here, and still not coming out?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, a figure walked out of the darkness with a hook and sickle in his hand, Mo Shuyan was suddenly shocked, could it be that someone had assassinated him so early? There is no record, seeing that Cao Cao has not changed, Mo Shuyan is not good to say, and continues to stand behind Cao Cao, motionless.

I saw that figure walking in front of Cao Cao, kneeling on one knee with both hands clenched into fists.

Seeing this, Mo Shuyan, who couldn't see the appearance of the comer, turned his head slightly and looked at the kneeling figure.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a sturdy man dressed in gray, with thick eyebrows and a scar on his right cheek, which looked quite hideous, but on the whole, there was a bit of honesty between his eyebrows and eyes.

Cao Cao looked at the man and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why did Cao appear here? ”

"Under the surname Zhang, the name is Lie, the word Tianyi, Chen Liu, and wants to serve under the general." After speaking, Zhang Lie bowed to Cao Cao.

Seeming to be a little interested in Zhang Lie, Cao Cao squatted down slightly and asked softly, "In that case, why don't you come on the day when the Cao family is recruiting?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lie raised his head, his face was quite angry, but it was also mixed with a little helplessness.

A few days ago, I heard that General Cao was recruiting talents, and he intended to take refuge, but he met Yan Liangwen and ugly, and he fought with him, and fled without being defeated.

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded with a clear expression and did not immediately agree.

Mo Shuyan on the side, but his heart was already slightly moved, he was able to escape under Yan Liangwen's ugly hands, and he was not the main character, but it was quite suitable for me.

After today's events, Mo Shuyan deeply felt the danger of maneuvering here, and had already begun to accept several subordinates to work together.

Zhang Lie's arrival, for Mo Shuyan, is equivalent to sending a pillow as soon as he wants to sleep, his heart is slightly happy, but Mo Shuyan's face does not show the slightest smile, now how to encourage Cao Cao to subdue Zhang Lie is a top priority, otherwise everything is just a fantasy.

Stepping forward, Mo Shuyan whispered in Cao Cao's ear: "Lord, there are not many people in the mansion now, this person can escape in the hands of Yan Liangwen and Chou, there must be something extraordinary, and it is not impossible to collect it." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was quite moved in his heart, it is true that there are not enough capable people under him at this time, and knowing people to make good use of them is conducive to expanding his strength.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao stepped forward to help Zhang Lie, with a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Since Tianyi has the heart to take refuge, Cao will naturally not insult people with lofty ideals, and is willing to win Tianyi's heart and seek common cause." ”

"No." Zhang Lie was overjoyed, and just wanted to kneel down again, but was supported by Cao Cao and could not kneel.

Seeing this, Mo Shuyan behind Cao Cao was overjoyed, in this way, it was already half of the success, and the next thing was to take it for his own use, this matter had to be discussed in the long run, Mo Shuyan's face suddenly changed from joy to solemnity, once this matter was exposed, according to Cao Cao's character, he would not die well.

Mo Shuyan, who was deep in thought, didn't notice that Cao Cao turned his head slightly, looked at himself, and his face that didn't hide his expression suddenly fell into Cao Cao's eyes.

With a condensation of the corners of his eyes, Cao Cao had a plan, looked at Zhang Lie squarely, and said: "Now Cao Mou has no good position arrangement with you, I don't know what position Tianyi wants to hold?" ”

"But according to the lord's orders, Tianyi has no complaints."

Seeing Zhang Lie's firm eyes and calm expression, Cao Cao nodded slightly, and turned around to reveal Mo Shuyan behind him.

Mo Shuyan, who came back to his senses, looked at Cao Cao unhurriedly, bowed slightly, and was quite suspicious in his heart, why did he want to find himself when he recruited people well.

Gently patting Mo Shuyan's shoulder, Cao Cao said sharply to Zhang Lie: "Mr. Yunyi is Cao's confidant, but because the manpower cannot be deployed, he has not been able to equip Mr. with guards. ”

"No. Subordinates must protect each other with their lives! ”

Zhang Lie waved his gun behind him, and a sound of breaking the air resounded through the night sky, his eyes were firmly fixed on Mo Shuyan, as if he wanted to engrave Mo Shuyan into his mind.

Mo Shuyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, his eyes were a little more solemn again, and he hurriedly asked Cao Cao and said happily: "Thank you for your support." ”

"Well, Cao will arrange for Li Dian to move out of the courtyard, let Zhang Lie move in, and protect Mr. 's safety." After speaking, Cao Cao left straight away, without waiting for Mo Shuyan to answer.

In the dark night sky, the clouds dispersed, and the moonlight fell on Mo Shuyan's iron-faced face, Cao Cao's actions seemed to be protective, but in fact they were surveillance, and their suspicions were clearly revealed.

Mo Shuyan's face was solemn, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water under the moonlight, and he couldn't imagine that it hadn't been long before he could get Cao Cao's trust, and the important thing was that Mo Shuyan didn't know what was wrong.

It seems that you have to make a plan early and leave Cao Cao, otherwise I am afraid that I don't know when I will die. Looking at the bright moon in the sky with deep eyes, Mo Shuyan sighed slightly in his heart, restrained his expression, and walked slowly towards the Cao family.

Behind him, Zhang Lie held a gun and followed quietly, relatively silent.
