Chapter 40 Entering the Water Pass

If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up?

Mo Shuyan looked at Cao Cao in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that this would come out of Cao Cao's mouth, knowing that Cao Cao had always been extremely opposed to anything unfavorable to the Han family.

Suddenly, Mo Shuyan suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, in this way, wasn't he pushing Cao Cao step by step in the direction of becoming the emperor? But he didn't resist much, as if he also wanted Cao Cao to be emperor.

With a sigh, Mo Shuyan's eyes looked at Cao Cao with a little confusion, maybe it was not a bad thing to follow his heart.

"In this case, the lord please enter the customs to oppose Yuan Shao, get out of his control, take advantage of the situation, break the covenant, and not let Yuan Shao continue to grow." Mo Shuyan said with a firm expression.

Hearing this, Cao Cao's eyes froze, he nodded coldly, and agreed to Mo Shuyan's arrangement.

At this moment, there was a sound of horses roaring behind the two of them, and the two of them mistakenly thought that Zhao Yun was chasing after them, so they quickly turned around and waited, staring at the side of the small hill, and kept thinking about how to get out in their minds.

Soon, the three burly figures rode up the hill, and after seeing Cao Cao and the others, they rushed towards Cao Cao with joy on their faces.

And Cao Cao's expressions suddenly relaxed, and the stone in his heart was also put down.

The three people who came were Li Dian, Zhang Lie and Xiahoudun who judged where Cao Cao went.

Riding the horse to Cao Cao's horse, the three of them hurriedly stopped and dismounted, Li Dian took the lead and half-knelt on the ground, turned his face sideways and clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The protection of the lowly duty is not effective, and the lord will fall into a place of no return, and I hope that the lord will be punished." ”

Zhang Lie and Xiahoudun also knelt down at the same time, clasped their fists and half-knelt and said, "Please also ask the lord to punish him." ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao did not dismount very eagerly, but stopped for a moment before dismounting, and helped Li Dian and the three of them one by one.

Mo Shuyan on the side smiled slightly and nodded, naturally knowing the deep meaning of Cao Cao's move, if he didn't let Li Dian and the three of them kneel for a moment as punishment, I am afraid it would be difficult to calm the guilt in the hearts of these three people.

After finally helping Xiahoudun, Cao Cao returned to Li Dian, looked at the three of them, and said with a serious face: "This trip is quite dangerous, and the Cao army is almost ninety percent lost, but as long as a few of you are still there, Cao has the confidence to build the Cao army again and conquer the world." ”

Conquer the world? Li Dian and the three of them were shocked, Cao Cao has always taken it as his responsibility to help the Han family, so why did he suddenly have the heart to conquer the world?

The change in the expressions of Li Dian and the three of them naturally couldn't escape Cao Cao's eyes, and they naturally knew what the three of them were thinking.

"Kuangfu Han family, if there is no ability to pacify the world, how can the princes be willing to return the power and territory in their hands to the Han family orthodoxy? Now the crusade against Dong Zhuo is mostly because they are afraid that Dong Zhuo's family will be great, and if Dong Zhuo falls, the world will be in chaos, have you ever understood the truth here? Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Li Dian and the three of them are not short-sighted, and now they are being pointed out by Cao Cao, and they don't understand the true meaning of this, they are really a generation of famous generals.

The three of them glanced at each other, and shouted to Cao Cao in unison without hesitation: "We will definitely clear the obstacles for the Lord and achieve the great cause of Kuangfu Han!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao finally showed joy on his face and nodded at the three of them, if he didn't get the support of these three people, he might not be able to achieve the great cause.

Seeing this, Mo Shuyan beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, although all this was expected, but everything could not be absolute, in case someone in Li Dian and the three of them was too upright, it would be difficult to do.

"Dare to ask the lord, what should we do next? Do you still want to break away from Yuan Shao's control according to the original plan? There is a certain danger in this move today. Li Dian stepped forward and asked, with a hint of worry in his expression.

After all, now there are only five people on Cao Cao's side plus Mo Shuyan, who has no combat effectiveness, not only Li Dian is worried, Zhang Lie and Xiahoudun are also worried, in case Yuan Shao is forced to leave Cao Cao, I am afraid that he is really powerless to resist, and his two fists will be difficult to defeat four hands after all.

Cao Cao's smile suddenly disappeared without a trace, he looked back at Bishui Pass from afar, stepped forward without hesitation, turned over on his horse, and shouted softly: "Go to Bishui Pass." ”

Subsequently, Cao Cao did not stop, turned the horse's head, and went straight to Bishui Pass, Li Dian and Xiahoudun saw this, instantly turned back to the horse, and hurriedly rode the horse to keep up with Cao Cao, for fear that Cao Cao would be in danger again, Zhang Lie was at the rear, after getting on the horse, he walked to Mo Shuyan's side, pulled Mo Shuyan on the horse, and then followed everyone closely.

After everyone left, a team of people appeared on the hillside not far away, the leader was Xu Zisheng, and the person next to him was Zhao Yun, who had just returned with Cao Hong and a group of prisoners.

As if feeling the gaze behind him, Xu Zisheng turned his head directly, looked back at Cao Hong and the others indifferently, a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Do you really want to live and die with Cao Cao?" It's a pity that you are going to go with me to Dong Jun and become a hostage to control Cao Cao. ”

"Dog thief, betraying the covenant, taking refuge in Dong thief, I don't know the slightest loyalty, righteousness and shame!" Cao Hong's face was flushed, and he roared at Xu Zisheng.

Hearing this, Xu Zisheng spread his hands disapprerovingly, glanced at Cao Hong with a smile, then turned his head and continued to stare at Mo Shuyan among Cao Cao's people, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Zhao Yun beside him looked puzzled, hesitated for a long time, and then hugged his fists and asked Xu Zisheng softly: "Why did Mr. Xu want to take refuge in Dong Thief?" This move is really unacceptable to Zilong and goes against Zilong's original intention. ”

When Xu Zisheng heard this, he turned his head sideways, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he disappeared in an instant, and then said with a smile: "Zilong don't worry, I will naturally have my reasons for doing this, and it will definitely not go against your heart." ”

"But ......"

Zhao Yungang wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Xu Zisheng.

"Dong Zhuo must be eradicated, but with Yuan Shao's ability, it is impossible to achieve it, and now I must go deep into Dong Jun and disintegrate Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu from the inside before it can be done, in this way, Zilong, do you understand my true intentions?" Xu Zisheng said earnestly.

Hearing this, Zhao Yun suddenly understood, his face showed guilt, and he bowed to Xu Zisheng: "Mr. Xu is righteous, it is Zilong who is ignorant." ”

Xu Zisheng nodded lightly, but infinite killing intent emerged in his heart, this Zhao Yun is becoming more and more unhappy, it's time to change his subordinates.

Although he wanted to kill Zhao Yun in his heart, Xu Zisheng did not show a trace of abnormality, turned the horse's head, and slowly walked in the direction of Chang'an.

The group embarked on a journey to Chang'an.
