In the big tent of the Chinese army, only Cao Cao, who looked solemn, and Liu Yi, who was still drinking a cup of tea leisurely alone, were left.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, and Liu Yi didn't seem to have anything to communicate with Cao Cao, after all, everyone was friend or foe. Well, maybe it's not an enemy, but Liu Yi knows that Cao Cao definitely wants to die in his heart, and he is also very wary of him, because from the beginning, Liu Yi regarded him as an opponent. can't be subdued for his own use, he is born to be a heroic overlord, regardless of Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao and others, Liu Yi regards them as opponents. Unless he was going to serve them, but Lewi knew he wouldn't be able to serve them. I didn't think about it when I didn't have power or power before, and I wouldn't have that kind of thought now.

Liu Yi was about to finish drinking the tea and leaving, with a snort, he raised his head and finished drinking, casually put the cup on the low table next to him, stood up, and patted his sleeve.

"Brother Lewy, wait!" Cao Cao suddenly opened his mouth to stop Liu Yidao, who was about to leave.

"Huh? Brother Mengde, what do you have to say? Liu Yi looked sideways at Cao Cao and asked.

"I don't dare to teach, but I want to talk to you casually about something." Cao Cao stood up and asked Liu Yi to sit down again.

"What are you talking about? The affection between you and Meng De, when you besieged me Liu with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the affection between us was over. Liu Yi shrugged his shoulders and didn't sit down, as if he wasn't interested in talking more with Cao Cao, so he stood up and said, "You didn't make it up for today's situation?" It was not easy for the first emperor to cure his illness, but because of you, the eunuchs killed the first emperor, and there will be the current Dong Zhuo rebellion. Speaking of which, you and I don't seem to have personal grudges, but we have public enmity, although the death of the first emperor was done by the eunuch Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, but you are accomplices. ā€

"You!" Cao Cao suddenly pointed at Liu Yi with a little excitement and said, "You and I have no personal grudges?" Is there really no personal grudge? ā€

"Have a personal grudge?" Liu Yi said a little weakly: "Then tell me, how did I, Liu Yi, offend you Cao Mengde?" ā€

"Come to Ying'er!" Cao Cao's eyes were like spitting fire, and he glared at Liu Yi fiercely.

"Ying'er is doing well now. It's happy, she loves to sing, she loves to dance, and she likes me. She doesn't want to live in your cage-like golden house. She needs freedom, she needs to communicate with people, she needs ...... Respect. Can you give her these? Liu Yi no longer concealed the matter between himself and Lai Ying'er, anyway, this matter has become a foregone conclusion, and Cao Cao already knows it. So I wandered away.

"You bastard!" Cao Cao jumped to his feet and gritted his teeth: "Do you know how much I paid for her?" She likes to sing and dance, don't I let her sing or dance? She wants to be free, won't I give it to her? I don't respect her? If Cao Mengde didn't respect her, she would have been my person a long time ago. Besides, she doesn't like me? doesn't like me Cao, why does she want me Cao Cao to redeem her? ā€

"Hehe, what's the use of talking about this now? Besides, this is just your side of the story, what do you think in your heart, and what about Ying'er. Only you know it best in your own heart. Moreover, only Ying'er herself can feel how you treat her. This, you and I don't count. Most crucially, she chose to choose from me in the end. ā€

"It's your sword! The hatred of killing your father, the hatred of taking your wife, this is your personal grudge with me Cao Mengde! Cao Cao gasped and roared resentfully.

"Haha! Mengde, you're in the picture. Am I snatching love? Liu Yi glanced at Cao Cao with disdain, and said funny: "You probably don't understand until now, Lai Ying'er is a person, not a singer plaything who was redeemed by you from the Qinglou, she will have her own thoughts and her own outlook on life." What kind of person she likes and what kind of life she likes to live are her own choices. Although I, Liu Yi, did like Ying'er as soon as I saw her, and I did take the initiative to confess to her, but if she didn't like me. I like you Cao Cao, so can I snatch her away? From beginning to end, I didn't force her, I just gave her the life she liked. And, until now, I have always respected her choice, what she wants to do, where she wants to go, even if she leaves me, I will respect her, as long as she is happy, I Liu Yi will never treat her well, I will never be like you Cao Cao, grounding her, not letting her contact with people from the outside world, you dare to say, you are not like this? You Cao Cao, just treat Lai Ying'er as a plaything, what qualifications do you have to get her? Do you dare to say that what I said is not right? ā€

"You, you are strong!" Cao Cao said angrily: "If you don't provoke her, will she go with you?" ā€

"Nonsense! Do you think about the situation at that time? Who faced Mrs. Ding and didn't dare to admit that Lai Ying'er was her woman? This alone makes a woman disappointed in you, even if Lai Ying'er is grateful and happy to you, but do you know how painful it must be in the heart of a woman when she is in front of the man she likes and his wife, and that man says that this woman is someone else's woman? How desperate will it be? ā€

"Oh...... Mrs. Ding ......" Cao Cao covered his face at this moment and groaned in pain.

Speaking of Liu Yi, Cao Cao did remember the situation when he was with Liu Yi, Lai Ying'er, Bian Yu and others. At that time, it was Mrs. Yuan and Ding, who made him feel a little afraid, suddenly came to the golden house he had placed for Lai Ying'er, and he did pull Liu Yi over as a shield for a while, at that time, he really didn't think about how it would make Lai Ying'er sad if he did this.

But Cao Cao was so painful that he hid his face, but it was not because of Lai Ying'er's problem, but because of Mrs. Ding's problem. This wife of his own yuan is nowhere to be found at the moment, and he will be robbed by others in his own home, which makes him feel a little painful every time he thinks about it.

"What's wrong with Mrs. Ding?" Liu Yi said even more weakly.

"No, it's okay......" Cao Cao raised his head with complicated eyes, as if he was in a much calmer mood after the pain or vented for a while, shook his head and said: "Alas, forget it, since Ying'er is from you, there is nothing to do, I hope she is really as happy as you said." ā€

"However, what does the public enmity you are talking about have to do with me?" Cao Cao patted the table and said: "At that time, I was just a captain of a school, with only two or three thousand troops and horses, more than me, not much less than me, the first emperor was killed, how could I Cao Cao be able to influence it?" You're going to have to put that on me. I'm not convinced! ā€

"Well, then, Meng De and I, Liu Yi, this personal grudge is because of women. Now that it's open, forget it? I can't say that I have a public enmity, so doesn't it mean that you and I Liu Yi are really not enemies? Hey, hey, that's Mengde, you say. Why are we standing here staring at me? Say, you stopped Liu, what the hell is going on? ā€

"It's about the Han Dynasty and the people of the world!" Cao Cao saw that Liu Yi seemed to be finally interested in talking to him, so he also cleaned up his mood, and said with a righteous expression.

"I want to hear about it!" Leo sat down and looked at the table next to him. There was also a flask, and when I picked it up, I found that there was still wine, so I took a sip of the wine that was already cold. Put on a deaf look.

"Let me ask you first, what do you think of this time when the heroes of the world formed an alliance to fight for Dong?" Cao Cao also sat back at his desk and said to Liu Yi earnestly.

"Heroes of the world? Hum! Liu Yi snorted disdainfully and said, "A group of bears!" Taking the crusade against Dong Zhuo and Kuang Fu Han as child's play, Sun Jian's soldiers attacked in front, and Yuan Shu dared to privately withhold grain and grass, how could soldiers fight without food? Isn't this a desire to send Sun Jian and his tens of thousands of soldiers to death? Instead, I'm Sun Jian, I don't fight Dong Zhuo, I will destroy Yuan Shu first! Such an ally still wants to crusade against Dong Zhuo? I promise it. You can't even see Dong Zhuo's face. ā€

"Uh, you mean that then...... Will the Allies be defeated? ā€

"It's not a defeat, it depends on how much thought the princes of the allies have, and how many people are really thinking about the Han Society. If the allies of all walks of life can work together, defeat Dong Zhuo, and restore the Han court to Qingming, it will definitely be possible, the question is ...... Scold. I don't even want to say more. "What Liu Yi means is obvious, how can this so-called allied army now be able to do it with everyone's heart and soldiers?

"I Cao Cao refuses to say anything else, but no matter what, I, Cao Cao, vow to fight Dong Zhuo to the end this time, even if the allies are scattered, only I Cao Mengde will be left, and I will also attack Dong Zhuo alone, and I will not stop if I don't kill Dong Zhuo!" Cao Cao said with a resolute face.

Liu Yi did not doubt Cao Cao's determination to defeat Dong Zhuo, because in history, after the dispersal of the allied forces, Cao Cao did lead the army to attack Dong Zhuo alone, and was almost killed by Dong Zhuo's ambush.

In fact, for Cao Cao, since he launched an edict to denounce Dong Zhuo, he Cao Cao has no way back, and he must insist on crusading against Dong Zhuo to the end, otherwise, it will not be the princes of the world who will become the laughing stock of the world, but he Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is an ambitious person, he knows that no matter whether he succeeds or fails, as long as he persists, then he will be appreciated by the people of the world, praising him for doing things from beginning to end, not to mention, this is for the sake of the thief, for the sake of the Han Sheji. If he gives up halfway in the process of crusading against Dong Zhuo, then he will also be abandoned by the people of the world, and he will not be able to become one of the heroes of the world in the future.

Therefore, he issued an edict to denounce Dong Zhuo, from the beginning, he could only win or lose, and there was no other way to go, unless he was willing to be ordinary in the future.

"I believe in you, Mengde, but among the allies, what can make me Liu Yi believe is Sun Wentai, and I Liu Yi can't believe anyone else." Liu Yi actually wanted to talk to Cao Cao privately, after all, he was going to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo, occupy Luoyang, and finally meet them in Luoyang, and when he met several of their armies in Luoyang, when the time came, would they cooperate with each other? Or are they fighting each other?

For this, Liu Yi felt a headache. Cooperation, with the heroic nature of Cao Cao and others, and the formation of a new dynasty with them, then, this new dynasty can only be dominated by the young emperor, and in the end, it will be similar to the previous dynasty, the power is in the hands of others, and in the end it is still a disaster, Liu Yi's heart has never thought of controlling Luoyang with others to establish a new dynasty. What about fighting each other? This is even more what Liu Yi doesn't want to see, if he wants to start a war with them, is it necessary to establish a new dynasty in Luoyang?

Liu Yi thought of a gentleman agreement between Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and Liu Bang, the king of Han, when they raised troops to destroy Qin, they made an agreement to decide who would occupy Xianyang, the capital of Qin, first, and who would be the king, as a result, both of them attacked Xianyang together, but in the end, it was the overlord of Chu who burned Xianyang and divided the princes of the world.

Liu Yi also had such an idea, and wanted to make an agreement with Cao Cao, and make an agreement, whoever occupies the capital of Luoyang first, the capital will be his, and no one can violate this agreement. With this agreement, then Liu Yi doesn't have to worry about those things. As long as you enter Luoyang, you can start to prepare for the new dynasty. He Cao Cao, if he does not submit to his own rule. Then he will only lead the army to retreat and retreat to Chenliu and Xuchang for development.

"Oh, it turns out that you are so unoptimistic about the alliance of heroes in the world this time. But I don't know, Mrs. Fu, what are your clever plans. Can you break Dong Zhuo? Cao Cao asked a little lonely.

He was proud, ascended to the heights and shouted, the heroes of the world gathered, what a majesty, I thought that the soldiers were pointing, Dong Zhuo would be punished, but. It was only when Dong Zhuo's army started the war that there were signs of civil strife in the base camp of the allied forces. There was no hope of victory, which was indeed a relatively big blow to Cao Cao's ambition. It is precisely because of this that he is so out of shape in front of Liu Yi, and will argue with Liu Yi about a woman.

"If you want to break Dong Zhuo, why do you need any so-called heroes in the world?" Liu Yi said domineeringly: "If Meng De is really trying to please Dong, you and I are enough!" The other princes are all earth pigs and dogs. Can't count on it. ā€

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and said, "You mean...... Your army in Wancheng? ā€

"Not bad! You have tens of thousands of military horses, and I, Liu Yi, also have tens of thousands of military horses. You and I combined, there are 100,000 troops, right? Plus Sun Jian and Sun Wentai's, although he also lost an elite, but after rectification, all of them can be fought, among the allied forces, there are still heroes who are bent on fighting Dong, and your army attacking from the front, you, Sun Wentai and a few others, I am afraid that there are more than 100,000 troops and horses. Dong Zhuo's headquarters is 200,000. At least you can hold it against. I, Liu Yi's tens of thousands of soldiers, attacked Dong Zhuo's flank from Wancheng, and they were confused, and Dong Zhuo could break through without attacking. ā€

"Good!" Cao Cao applauded: "Today I saw that the princes in the big tent of the Chinese army were not harmonious, and I was disheartened, thinking that this time I was asking for Dong. In the end, it was just a big joke, but listening to the words of the Liu Yi brothers, Cao felt that there was still a lot to be done about Dong. ā€

"I have a building yƬ." Lewis.

"Oh? Please speak. ā€

"It's better for you and me to have a secret agreement."

"Jun agreed?"

"Yes. It's the Jun agreement. Liu Yi squinted at Cao Cao and said: "I know that Meng De has the ambition to be a hero, and now although you keep saying that it is for the sake of the Han Dynasty, are you really willing to be a virtuous minister in a troubled world?" You and I can only understand this, not speak. I, Liu Yi, frankly speaking, are not willing to be subordinated to others, but I am sincere for the Han Society, and the revitalization of the Han Dynasty is also my Lew's lifelong goal and ideal. No matter what happens in the future, now, you and I might as well cooperate for the time being, and you and I will secretly form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo together. ā€

"We agreed, whoever captures Luoyang first, who is the lord of Luoyang, you or me!" Liu Yi stood up, faced Cao Cao, stared at Cao Cao and said, "When the time comes, no matter who captures the capital of Luoyang first, the other person will not be able to compete with Luoyang." If you Cao Cao captures it first, I, Liu Yi, don't say a word, and immediately lead the army to leave, otherwise, you Cao Cao can't fight with me anymore. ā€

"What? Are you sure we can defeat Dong Zhuo? Cao Cao was not surprised by Liu Yi's agreement, but surprised by Liu Yi's tone, which seemed to be sure that he could defeat Dong Zhuo.

"You and I join forces, Dong Zhuo will definitely lose!" Liu Yi nodded affirmatively and said, "Xing, the people are bitter!" Death, the people suffer! The capital of Luoyang, including the surrounding towns, is afraid that there will be millions of people. Now under Dong Zhuo's rule, the suffering is unspeakable, if we defeat Dong Zhuo, but disregard the people's livelihood, we attack each other again, in the end, no matter who wins or loses, it is the suffering of the people. Now it is February, it is the beginning of spring ploughing, if Dong Zhuo can be defeated as soon as possible, there will still be time to arrange the production of the people, so that there will not be millions of refugees because of the military disaster. Therefore, Liu Yi implored Meng De to put the overall situation first, put the people first, you and I will make an appointment, and after defeating Dong, we will not attack each other. ā€

Cao Cao stood up and said a little emotionally: "Liu Yi, you can't help but underestimate me Cao Mengde, no matter what, is my Cao Mengde a person who doesn't care about the people's livelihood?" In this world, as long as you Liu Yi are dedicated to the people, don't you allow me Cao Mengde to do my best for the people? Look at Cao's past, when did he do something evil that was sorry for the people of the world? ā€

He staggered to Liu Yi's side, raised his right hand and said: "Okay, let's make a gentleman's agreement, high-five as an oath, you and I secretly form an alliance to attack Dong Zhuo, after defeating Dong, whoever occupies Luoyang first, who is the lord of Luoyang, and the other person must not start a war again!" ā€

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Liu Yi and Cao Cao raised their palms and struck three times.

"Haha...... Good! Make this covenant today, you and I must not violate it in the future, otherwise, heaven and man will spit together, and ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart! Lewy swore an oath.

"If Cao Cao violates today's covenant in the future, he will also be burned by thunder and ten thousand arrows!"

"Haha......"

There was a burst of laughter in the big tent of the Chinese army with only two people, and the soldiers guarding outside didn't know what Cao Cao and Liu Yi said inside.

It's okay today, the princes will not come to the Chinese army tent again when they leave. Cao Cao simply asked Liu Yi to stay, he ordered Cao Hong and others to get wine and food, and discussed with Liu Yi how to attack Dong Zhuo in the future while drinking in the tent.

Cao Cao is now with Liu Yi, but there is another alliance outside the alliance, only he and Liu Yi know about this matter, how to attack Dong Zhuo, the two have to discuss it carefully. (To be continued......)
