Zhao Yue and Cao Ping followed Cao Cao all the way to the gate of Wang Yun's mansion, and before they went out to the street, Cao Cao suddenly turned around and thanked him: "Xie Er's escort, but there is still one thing to ask for below, and I hope that the little brother standing on the left can answer."

Zhao Yue took a look, Cao Ping was standing on the right side of his body, and the person Cao Cao was talking about was him.

But Zhao Yue was a little confused, he was a soldier, and Cao Cao was a captain, what could he do to help Cao Cao? However, at today's banquet, Cao Cao's courage and boldness made Zhao Yue look up to him, and if possible, Zhao Yue would never refuse Cao Cao's request.

"Master Cao, please just tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely do it." Zhao Yue said with her fists clenched.

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yue with an imperceptible smile, and whispered softly: "If what you see below is good, you are the soldier who rushed into the hall when Dong Zhuo was discussing the matter that day." ”

Zhao Yue was stunned in his heart, he didn't know why Cao Cao asked this, but out of vigilance, after thinking a few times, he replied solemnly: "It's me, as a soldier, obey the general's orders, I will do what the general orders me to do, in the past, the palace was a guard for Dong Zhuo, and he was also ordered by the military marquis, I don't know if Lord Cao Cao has any questions about this?" ”

Cao Cao's face was expressionless, but he still whispered: "Of course there are doubts below, that is, why is a Han army pawn colluding with Dong Zhuo's henchman Lu Bu?" ”

Zhao Yue was shocked when he heard this, he didn't know where Cao Cao saw it from, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Cao Cao, why did you say this?" Could it be that someone is slandering me behind my back? ”

As soon as he finished asking, Zhao Yue was shocked in his heart, remembering that Lu Bu came to look for him that day, it was the time when the Han army was having dinner, and everyone had gathered around to watch, could it be that there was a spy among the Han army, and the matter of his meeting with Lu Bu was spread around?

Seeing that Zhao Yue was so nervous, Cao Cao smiled lightly and said with relief: "You don't have to be nervous, I didn't mean anything else, it's just that I noticed a hint of it in the main hall that day." ”

Cao Ping was a little breathless on the side, and hurriedly asked, "What clues, what clues can my parent brother Jiao have?" ”

"Hahaha," Cao Cao smiled heartily, and said with a smile: "I am also a person who practices martial arts, and the situation that day can naturally be seen, Yi Lu Bu's martial arts can completely kill on the high platform, but as a result, Dong Zhuo's life, why did he stop after seeing you?" Based on the above, Cao inferred that you have some friendship with Lu Bu, if I am wrong, then please just let me not say it. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his robe sleeves and was about to leave.

"Lord Cao, slow down," Zhao Yue hesitated for a moment, but still stopped Cao Cao.

Zhao Yue knew the meaning of Cao Cao's words, and when he was in the house, he had already heard the news that Cao Cao was going to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and he did have a close relationship with Lu Bu, Cao Cao was worried that he would pass the news to Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu could take precautions.

In that case, wouldn't Cao Cao become meat on the chopping board, just waiting to be cut?

Under the moonlight, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Cao Cao heard Zhao Yue call him, and as if he had expected it, he stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhao Yue with a little expectation.

Zhao Yue showed a subtle smile, this was the first time he had peeked into people's hearts, and it was also the first time he stood on a high place to talk to someone, he saw through Cao Cao's mind and knew that Cao Cao was waiting for him to make a statement.

"Lord Cao Cao, don't worry, I do have a friendship with Lu Bu, not only that, but my best eldest brother also works under Dong Zhuo, but I am a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, I know that Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and I am a soldier of the Han Dynasty."

Hearing Zhao Yue say this, Cao Cao gradually showed a happy look.

Zhao Yue continued with a smile: "I have already seen what Dong Zhuo has done, if Lord Cao Cao can get rid of him for the world, it will undoubtedly be a good thing, as for the eldest brother and Lu Bu, if Dong Zhuo dies, I will tell them and persuade them to be loyal to the Han Dynasty." ”

This is Zhao Yue's true thoughts in his heart, he is no longer the stunned soldier at the beginning, in his heart, Zhang Duan is still his eldest brother, and Lu Bu does have a life-saving grace for him, but there are some things that they still don't know.

Cao Cao was obviously overjoyed when he heard Zhao Yue's words, he bowed deeply to Zhao Yue, and then held Zhao Yue's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect that a soldier would have such an opinion, he is really a man with lofty ideals, if I become famous every day, I will definitely ask you to assist me!" ”

Cao Ping was a little unhappy on the side and said, "And me!" ”

Cao Cao hurriedly smiled: "Of course, of course, when I succeed tomorrow, I will definitely thank the two of you, and the names of the two will go down in history forever!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he made another long gesture.

Outside the mansion, the starlight flashing in the sky of Luoyang City, as well as the firelight of the bustling night market in Luoyang City, all added a bit of color to this troubled world. A cool breeze blew, and the half-open and half-closed door of the house "creaked".

Zhao Yue made a gesture of invitation and sent Cao Cao out of Wang Yun's mansion, and Cao Cao left with the Seven Star Treasure Sword. Zhao Yue and Cao Ping glanced at each other, and were about to return to the house and return to Wang Yun.

Not far away, a dark shadow turned back.

Zhao Yue stopped her steps and asked curiously, "Lord Cao Cao, why are you back again?" Can't you trust me? ”

Cao Cao shook his head silently, and then said lightly: "Changjiao, I have someone I want to introduce to you, if you have the opportunity to meet him, maybe it will help you." ”

The person who has to be mentioned must be a very important person, Zhao Yue thought so, and then asked curiously: "Lord Cao Cao, what kind of person is it?" ”

"Xu Shao, a famous man from Runan," Cao Cao said solemnly, "he is a more discerning person, and at the beginning of each month, he will comment on some people, known as the 'Yuedan Commentary', and the characters he evaluates will usually receive the attention of the princes of the Quartet. Now that the troubled times are approaching, and all the princes are recruiting talents, they should give priority to inviting such people who have been commented by celebrities to join the camp. ”

Zhao Yue smiled slightly and said, "Lord Cao Cao, I don't want to go to all the princes, I just want to stay in the Han Dynasty and develop and calm the troubled times in the future." ”

Cao Cao saw that Zhao Yue had extraordinary knowledge, and thought that Zhao Yue had ambitions in his heart, but seeing that his ambition was only to maintain the Han Dynasty that was about to fall, Cao Cao couldn't help but look down on Zhao Yue a little in his heart. He sneered a few times and joked to himself: "It's okay, I just see that Changjiao is quite knowledgeable and has some strategies, so I just pointed out a path for you, as for whether to go or not, it is up to you." I still have something to do, so I'll be one step ahead. ”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and left again, and this time, he never came back.

After Zhao Yue and Cao Ping returned to the house to report to Wang Yun, they changed their clothes, left Wang Yun's mansion, and returned to the military house to rest.

After a tiring day, when Zhao Yue woke up on the second day, the sun was already shining on the paper window of the barracks, and the dazzling light made him not want to sleep, but concerned about how Cao Cao's assassination was doing.

Outside the barracks, there was already a group of people around, I don't know what they were talking about, the noisy voice made Cao Ping, he turned over on the bed, and said to Zhao Yue impatiently: "I'm tired all night, I can't sleep well, Brother Changjiao, you help me go out and see, what are you doing outside!" ”

Zhao Yue rubbed her sleepy eyes, walked out of the wooden house, and came to the middle of the crowd, where a piece of drawing paper was pasted on the wooden stake at the gate of the barracks, on which Cao Cao's face was drawn!

Zhao Yue, who was still a little sleepy, saw this scene, as if she had been splashed with cold water in her sleep, and immediately woke up.

He hurriedly asked the people around him what was going on.

A Han sergeant told him: "Brother Changjiao, you don't know, this person actually took a knife to assassinate that Lord Dong Zhuo this morning, but he didn't succeed and ran away, and now Lord Dong Zhuo has plastered his portrait near Luoyang and wants to arrest him." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yue knew that Cao Cao's assassination had failed, sighed with a heavy heart, and turned around and returned to the house.

However, to Zhao Yue's relief, Cao Cao was not killed, but fled.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Cao Cao would not be caught. At this time, there was only one thing he could do for Cao Cao.

……

Regarding this assassination, earlier today, Cao Cao went to meet Dong Zhuo with the seven-star sword, he wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but was found at a critical moment, Cao Cao was frightened and handed over the seven-star knife in the name of offering the sword, and he fled from Luoyang City on a fast horse.

This farewell, Cao Cao's destination is his hometown Chen Liucheng, he finally waited for this moment, the moment when he can compete fairly with Dong Zhuo and all the princes in the world, his goal is to become a king and hegemony.

Cao Cao decided to raise an army in Chenliu, and then issued an edict to various princes, including his friend Yuan Shao, to jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo, the greatest enemy at present.

The world is changing, the four seasons in the world are reincarnated, and the trees in the barn are originally full of bright green leaves, but they inadvertently turn golden yellow, falling with the autumn wind. And the autumn wind was whining, and under the cloudless sky, it was Zhao Yue and Cao Ping who led the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to train hard.

Zhao Yue knew in his heart that in the near future, the princes from all walks of life would wave their troops to Luoyang to ask Dong Zhuo Xingshi for their guilt, and Dong Zhuo's usual method was to use the Han army as the pioneer to meet the enemy. In order not to become someone else's pawn again, in order not to be used by others all the time before. As a member of the Han army, what Zhao Yue had to do was to let his Han army brothers master exquisite martial arts before that.

In the process of exercising hard, they finally ushered in the first winter after arriving in Luoyang. Heavy snow was falling in the air, and the barracks were covered in silver, and thick snow was piled up on the ground.

While the people in the barracks were still immersed in the happy atmosphere of the New Year, a piece of news came, just as Zhao Yue had expected.

The princes from all walks of life gathered together and formed an anti-Dong Zhuo alliance.
