As he spoke, the door was pushed open again. I saw that although Cao Cao's face was not ruddy, he walked in with his head held high. As for Cao Pi, he followed behind Cao Cao timidly, as if he had the intention of stepping forward to help, but he didn't dare to take a step, but the worried look on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

As soon as everyone saw Cao Cao come in, they all hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and there was a faint trace of excitement on the faces of the Xiahoudun brothers. Xun Yu was also full of joy, took two steps forward, but his face was stunned, and he hurriedly asked: "Lord, you are recovering from a serious illness, you still need to rest more." Saying that, he looked at Cao Pi behind him and said: "Zihuan, as a son of man, you are reasonable, and you should persuade the lord to be ......."

Cao Cao laughed a few times and said: "My body is no longer in much trouble, I am tired after lying down for so many days, and my activities are very good." What's more, I, Cao Mengde, am coming, how can Zihuan persuade him! If you don't have to be demanding. Come, tell me first, what are your best plans for the current situation? ”

Although Xun Yu was a little worried, he still arched his hand, roughly explained the situation in front of him, and told Cao about the two sets of plans just now, plus Guo Jia interjected from time to time, and he didn't even have the time to eat, so he explained the things that several people had been arguing about for a long time.

However, these are still just a general strategy, and how to operate it remains to be discussed. Crises are often opportunities, and how to break the situation and seize the opportunity are by no means clear in a few words. In today's situation, any plan must be as perfect as possible before it can be implemented.

Therefore, Cao Cao listened, just nodded slightly, and looked at everyone: "The matter is big, let's call Gongda and Zhongde to come together tomorrow, and we will discuss it well." Everyone nodded when they heard this, after all, Cao Cao had just recovered from a serious illness, and he still needed to take a good rest. Although it was still early, no one chose to stay, they all got up and saluted, prepared to leave, and went back to their respective homes. was about to leave, but Cao Cao smiled again: "Mingxi, stay for a while." When Gao Ye heard this, he stopped his steps before he was about to take a step, and turned back again. It wasn't until everyone else left that Cao Cao looked at Cao Pi beside him and said, "Zihuan, you go and let someone prepare some wine and food and take it to the garden." You don't have to come and accompany you. Saying that, he stood up, smiled bitterly, and said to Gao Ye: "From the moment I entered the door, you didn't say a word, let's go, it's better to accompany me to have a drink." ”

Gao Ye frowned slightly, looked at Cao Cao who stood up, sighed and said: "It's not yesterday to meet again after a long absence, I can't bear to talk about it...... I don't know where Gao Ye heard this sentence, but under this situation, he said it unconsciously. Although Cao Cao was in a coma for only a few days, in the past few days, it was like a lifetime away. The internal contradictions have completely exploded, and the external threats have all been revealed. Seriously, Gao Ye didn't even know what he would do if Cao Cao and Cao Ang really had an accident, and where the Cao regime should go. Fortunately, now that Cao Cao has woken up, although the external situation is still tense, the interior has finally settled down.

Cao Cao said that Gao Ye never spoke, and Gao Ye didn't know why he didn't say a word, even if the later plan was proposed by himself first, but he still didn't say a word, just Xun Yu Guo Jia told Cao Cao. Maybe it's really because Gao Ye really doesn't know where to start with the things he has done these days. ”

As soon as Gao Ye's words fell, even Cao Cao's face changed. From the smile on his face just now, he fell silent all of a sudden. Who let Gao Ye's words hit Cao Cao's heart? After all, anyone who wakes up and knows that he has swam in a circle between life and death can't be calm. What's more, after this circle, not only has there been a earth-shaking change in the division of forces internally, but even the external situation is precarious.

Gao Ye laughed self-deprecatingly, then turned to Cao Pi, who was about to walk out of the door, and shouted, "Zihuan, wait a while before leaving." After that, he turned his head and arched his hand at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, it's windy outside, your body is just right, don't go to the garden to blow the wind." And the wine, don't drink it. ”

"Hey, what a thousand words I can't bear to talk about! I'm just uncomfortable and want to get drunk, won't you accompany me Mingxi? Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said to Gao Ye in amazement.

Gao Ye smiled and motioned Cao Pi to prepare, and then smiled: "Just because Liu Xie poisoned you, you feel uncomfortable?" Such a lord is not the lord I know! ”

Gao Ye said wittily, and Cao Cao also chuckled and said, "Just you and me, let's call me Mengde." Over the years, you and I have often gathered, and the relationship between you and me has become alienated to this point? Gao Ye smiled suddenly, raised his head and looked at Cao Cao with blazing eyes: "Do you think that the lonely man is called for nothing?" ”

Cao Cao's complexion changed a few times, and the two of them were silent for a while. After a long while, Cao Cao's face returned to normal, looked at Gao Ye and smiled faintly: "So you forcibly accepted Zhen Mi and released a reputation for lust; So you slaughtered countless ministers, and you fell into the name of a stump that was easy to kill; So you bullied the emperor, forced the concubine to death, and took a charge of disrespect. That's why you set up a council, and you just don't want to make yourself this loner? ”

"In my position, it means that I am not alone, and some things are not something that I can control alone!" Gao Ye sighed lightly as he spoke, and for a while he remembered the past of Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, and said with some amazement: "There are so many people behind me, which one doesn't have their own interests?" There are some things that I put out early for them to understand, and it also saves them from thinking about what they shouldn't be up in the future, planning and plotting, and in the end they have to roast me on this fire. ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said slowly: "I didn't expect it, I, Cao Mengde, am just such a villain in Mingxi's eyes!" ”

"Definitely!" Gao Ye shook his head and said, "To be honest, among the characters of the past and present, among the people I admire the most, except for Qin Shi Huang, who ruled the world by Yu Lie of the Sixth Emperor, you Cao Mengde." Whether it is your Wentao martial arts strategy or your character and means, I am impressed, otherwise I would not have raised the entire Yingchuan to take refuge in the lord under the situation of the great situation back then. When Gao Ye said this, his face suddenly straightened, and then he said: "But as I just said, in the position where I bought it, there are some things that I can't control." When one day everyone behind you thinks I'm damned, do you think you still have a choice? ”

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "No! ”

"Do you think I'll sit still if there is a day?"

"No!"

"So! If that day really comes, you and my decades of hard work will be ruined! My wish is that the world is peaceful, and that my Chinese nation stands at the top of the world, not to kill and lose with you, and finally be killed by those northern alien races! Mende, let me call you a friend one more time...... Mengde, I have done so many things, not only to tell you that I have no intention of competing with you, but also to tell the people behind me, to tell the people behind you, that I have no intention of being in this position! ”

Cao Cao's expression, as Gao Ye's answer, became more and more silent. Until now, Cao Cao still remembers that when he returned disappointed from the Tiger Prison Pass, he and Gao Ye talked about their respective dreams. It's just that ten years have passed, and Gao Ye is still fighting for his ideals, but his ideals have long been lost in the whirlpool of power. Looking back now, Cao Cao suddenly felt that his suspicions of Gao Ye in the past were really a little ridiculous. After all, I have known Gao Ye for so many years, whether Gao Ye's words are true or lies, Cao Cao feels that he still has a taste. It's just that Cao Cao didn't expect that he would find out today that the rights he cared about a lot in his heart were so worthless in Gao Ye's eyes!

The look on Cao Cao's face, which was silent, from the initial doubt, to the later suddenness, and then to the final clarity, actually didn't take much time. Raising his head, looking at Gao Ye, who was silent on the side, Cao Cao just smiled and said, "Mingxi's meaning, I understand!" Haha, but let Mingxi say these words, you can see that Mingxi is not having a good time these days. ”

"Hey, I'm so afraid of troublesome people getting into such a big deal, how can this day be better!" Gao Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed a lot, only to hear Gao Ye continue: "What's more, I killed so many people, and I don't know how my father-in-law will count me down when I go back!" Kong Rong's nerd scolded me, I can still talk back, this old man wants to scold me, I can only spit on myself. ”

"Haha, Mingxi regrets this?"

"Repentance? I'm a little worried, but I won't regret it! Gao Ye shook his head with a smile and said, "These guys are like lesions, and now they are still on the surface, although it hurts a little, but in addition to it." If you really wait until you are terminally ill, you can't get rid of it if you want to! ”

Gao Ye's feelings also made Cao Cao feel a little confidant for a while. Especially the difference between Cao Cao and Gao Ye is that Cao Cao didn't know that the unstable factors in history that were not killed by him finally helped the Sima family take over the Cao family. The gentleman's Ze, the fourth generation, I am afraid that Cao Cao, a man of great talent, never expected.

Therefore, Cao Cao also nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "You have been fighting everywhere all these years, and it has been really hard for you." Especially this time, I took care of everything! It's just that Mingxi doesn't blame you for having to work hard again, I think, this enemy of the West still has to be handed over to you so that I can rest assured that I can compete with the original! ”
