Zhao Yue was puzzled and asked, "Why did Meng De say this?" ”

After all, it is in Xuchang, not Luoyang, Cao Cao's confidence seems to be better than Zhao Yue's, he stood up, and couldn't help sighing: "I recently heard that Sun Ce has sent an envoy to Yuan Shao in Hebei Province, asking Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Hanoi County under Chang Jiao's rule, and he will send troops to attack Xuzhou...... Our two armies are allied, and the world knows that since Sun Ce has already united Yuan Shao this time, how could he give up because of a mere letter? ”

When Zhao Yue heard the news, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and it took a lot of effort to keep herself calm and not lose her temper.

He was a little panicked, he didn't know if the news Cao Cao said was true or not, if it was true, why didn't he receive Lu Ze's report before leaving?

If this is true, how could he still put aside the major affairs within his influence and have the leisure to come to Xuchang as a guest after he knew it?

In fact, Cao Cao did not receive this news, at this time, Sun Ce, although he had the intention of attacking the Central Plains, but he did not want to rush to practice, after all, the alliance between Cao Cao and Zhao Yue was difficult to break for a while, and he and Yuan Shao did not have any communication before, how could it be said that if he sent an envoy for help, he would send an envoy for help?

Cao Cao said this just to firm up Zhao Yue's thoughts.

But when Zhao Yue calmed down, he also found a loophole in Cao Cao's statement, so he began to become suspicious, not as convinced as before, "Meng De, you and I have never had a grudge against Yuan Shao, and there is no affection between Sun Ce and Yuan Shao, why did Yuan Shao agree to Sun Ce's request and then send troops?" Mengde, don't worry too much. ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Yue, and then smiled, smiling very treacherously, and finally said: "Changjiao, I think, we already have a grudge against Yuan Shao." ”

Zhao Yue's eyes became cold, she sat in her position, and asked vigilantly, "How do you say this?" ”

Cao Cao was not in a hurry to say it, but bought a pass, sat down, clapped his hands, and said lightly: "Don't be anxious, Changjiao, you will see later, after a long time, the dishes will be cold, it is better to eat first!" ”

When the master spoke, Zhao Yue could only listen, but from the strange atmosphere in this banquet, he still noticed a subtle change, he looked at Zhao Yun with his eyes, and the look that Zhao Yun gave him clearly implied that his situation was not right.

Jia Xu also looked at each other, and Zhao Yue knew that when he had just spoken to Cao Cao again, the generals under Cao Cao had already sharpened their knives during the banquet.

Zhao Yueqiang fought hard and squeezed out some smiles.

After all, in the troubled times, many things are like this, and the strength of strength has become the only criterion for determining the right to speak and status of two people, just like when he killed Cao Yuanze, there is no need to think about it at all

At this moment, being in Cao Ying, Zhao Yue knew that the sheep was in the tiger's mouth, but he was not ready to restrain his edge. If you blindly try to curry favor with Cao Cao after the Battle of Kuangting, it will lead to damage to many of your interests.

So at this moment, although the northwest land has not yet been pacified, Zhang Duan and Ma Teng are still thorns in his side, and on the eastern side, he is not ready to rely on bowing his head to gain Cao Cao's trust and favor.

There are some things that must be made, even if you grit your teeth and hold on. Zhao Yue believes that the change in his attitude towards Cao Cao is like this.

Everyone drank and ate food together, and they were happy, Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun also drank wine, and among Cao Cao's advisers, many people came to raise their glasses and toast to Jia Xu, and Jia Xu was also happy to get to know them.

This is the case between people, some things are well known, but they still have to be tacitly understood, and some contradictions have appeared, but they still have to pretend to turn a blind eye.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Yue and Cao Cao also drank happily, and at this moment, he was sitting in his seat thinking about what Cao Cao meant by "I'll see later". He heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, which made him feel 120,000 refreshed, and he was half awake from his wine.

A herald soldier hurriedly ran up with a wooden box in his hand, knelt on the ground, and reported to Cao Cao: "Lord Qiqi, this is sent by the villain ordered by Lord Zang Ba of Xuzhou, he said that this is something that the lord wants, and it is used to make gifts for visitors from Luoyang." ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yue with a puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "Look, Changjiao, here." ”

Zhao Yue didn't know the truth, and while she was curious, she was also a little more vigilant, so she didn't speak, just waited for the following. Zhao Yun, who was sitting next to him, didn't care about drinking, and always maintained a posture of preparing for war, just in case.

Cao Cao shouted to the heralds under his tent: "Come, open the box and show it to the guests!" ”

Without hesitation, the herald opened the box, and the whole seat was so quiet that the sound of the wooden box rubbing against the ground could be heard as the herald moved it.

The moment the wooden box was opened, Zhao Yue's eyes widened!

It turned out to be Yuan Shu's head!

Zhao Yue gave birth to a chill from the soles of her feet, rising all the way to the top of her head, so that her scalp was numb.

Who is Yuan Shu? After all, it is also the way of the princes of the world, and now his head is lying quietly in front of him like this, who can not be shocked.

Zhao Yue has indeed experienced a lot, and his mind is also very mature, but to say that he is now enough to face any scene calmly and without waves in his heart, it is really a big joke in the world.

He was now scared and worried, scared and worried about what Cao Cao would do next.

However, he still has to hold on, because of his identity, because of his status, Zhao Yue at this moment is just secretly ruthless in his heart, and swears that Cao Cao will never come to Luoyang, once he comes, he will definitely use the same way to double the repayment!

The herald held the wooden box containing Yuan Shu's head expressionlessly, and continued to say to Cao Cao: "Lord, at the same time, there is also a box of treasures that Yuan Shu carried when he fled, which is very valuable, and it was also sent by Lord Zang Ba's order, and it has been handed over to the people in the palace to be collected and stored. ”

"Well, that's good, the box of treasures will be given to Changjiao." Cao Cao said, turned his head to look at Zhao Yue, and continued: "Changjiao, now you understand, why did I say that we already have a grudge against Yuan Shao, right? ”

Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, he never dreamed that Cao Cao would directly kill Yuan Shu, wasn't this a reason for Yuan Shao to send troops to the Central Plains?

In Zhao Yue's heart, she knew that the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu was not good, but they were inseparable, no matter how bad the relationship between the two of them was, they were also brothers of the same clan, plus Yuan Shao had no general strategy, only focused on small sections, how could he be willing to give up.

Zhao Yue closed his eyes, he felt that there were too many things in the world at present, too chaotic. (To be continued.) )
