Chapter Twenty-Three: Befriending Cao Cao

Sure enough, as Liu Meng expected, He Jin said when he saw that the people had arrived: "Hmph, Meng De and Captain Liu have great skills." ”

Liu Meng wondered, aren't there three of them? Why is Yuan Shao fine, but only against him and Cao Cao. Of course, he didn't know that the fourth and third princes of the Yuan Shao family also had a lot of energy above the government and the opposition, although Emperor Ling wanted to share He Jin's military power, but he also took care of He Jin's feelings, so he counted Yuan Shao, and He Jin naturally understood.

But Cao Cao is different from Yuan Shao, although Cao Cao is capable, but he is a eunuch, so he has not been treated well by He Jin, He Jin naturally thought that he was dissatisfied, and secretly took refuge in Zhang Rang and others.

Although Liu Meng has the heart to explain, but there are many people at this time, if he talks about the inside story, it will not be good if there is Zhang Rang's eyeliner among these people, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

"General, although we have been named the eighth captain, we are under the jurisdiction of Jian Shuo, and we don't have much real power in our hands, so we think this is a divisive plan." Cao Cao stood up and said.

Who knows He Jin but said contemptuously: "Who are you?" Is it also worth using a divisive strategy? ”

Liu Meng, who was still thinking about what to do, immediately became angry when he heard this, this is Hongguoguo's look down on him and Cao Cao, and he wanted to secretly contact He Jin with Zhang Rangxu and Wei Snake, but at this time he no longer had this idea.

Although Liu Meng was just an otaku in later generations, he is no longer the same with a system, he has proud capital, thinking that He Jin is just a butcher, just because his sister was deeply favored after marrying Emperor Ling, so He Jin was named a general. Such a person who has no ability to walk nepotism actually looks down on him, how can he endure it? Now he is one of the eight captains, although he is not a big official position, but he is also listed in front of Emperor Ling, even if he turns his face with He Jin, He Jin does not dare to do anything to him.

Liu Meng immediately stood up and said, "Since the general doesn't trust me, it is inconvenient for Liu to stay longer and leave." With that, he wanted to go out the door.

"That's right, since the general won't let me wait, I'll take my leave." After speaking, he walked out with Liu Meng.

"General, these two are really rude." Someone else said.

"Hmph, these two people's hearts are no longer with me, it's better to leave, don't pay attention." After speaking, he continued to discuss with everyone how to deal with the eunuchs.

Not to mention how He Jin and the others discussed, after Liu Meng and Cao Cao went out, Cao Cao sighed: "I am dedicated to the country, how can I be in the company of the eunuch who is harming the government, how can I think that He Jin's husband is so suspicious of me." ”

There were a large number of people in it before, Liu Meng was bent on thinking of countermeasures, so he didn't pay attention to Cao Cao, until this time did he have time to take a closer look, Cao Cao is not as short as Liu Meng imagined, if according to the later generations, it should be one meter six five, thin eyes and long hair, it doesn't seem to be insidious and cunning, Cao Cao at this time has no ambition to dominate the world, so there is no domineering on his body, but it makes people feel very affinity.

"Brother Cao doesn't have to be like this, how can there be only one way out to serve the country? Zhang Rang and others are also the way. Liu Meng said.

"Where do you say that? Eunuchs wielding power is the root of the chaos in the country, how can we help the abuse. ”

"Haha, Brother Cao misunderstood, this is not a place to talk, if you don't dislike it, how about going to the cold house to drink and talk in detail?"

"That's it, it's just upset, whether it's drinking or not, then it's bothering."

After that, the two of them walked towards Liu Meng's residence.

After the two arrived at Liu Meng's residence, Liu Meng asked his subordinates to buy wine and food, and soon the wine and food came up, and the two talked while eating. No wonder it is said that the wine table is a good place for men to contact their feelings, and it will not take long for the two to be called brothers, of course, this is the result of Liu Meng deliberately bringing the relationship between the two closer.

The monarch used to play the game before Liu Meng came here was Cao Cao, and in later generations, because of the rampant Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people in the monarch loved Liu Bei, but Liu Meng loved Cao Cao alone, although he was suspicious, and even said that he would rather be the one who was responsible for the world, not the world to bear me, but that could not erase the fact that he was one of the few monarchs loyal to the Han family.

When he was young, Cao Cao was only dedicated to being the Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, Huo Quai, and expanded the territory for the Han Dynasty, and later found that the Han Dynasty was completely decayed, and the blow to him after it could not be saved was quite large, but he still did not give up, and he was still working hard, that is, later the ministers wanted him to be the emperor, and he never agreed, and only regarded himself as King Wen of Zhou until he died. You must know that Xu Shao's evaluation of Cao Cao is a capable minister who rules the world and a traitor in troubled times, Cao Cao was just born at the wrong time. So no matter what others think of Cao Cao, Liu Meng loves him very much.

"Fengyi, what do you mean by what you said before that Zhang Rang and others are also the way, I am very puzzled by my brother."

"Now He Jin is fighting with the eunuchs, what the eunuchs rely on is nothing more than the favor of the saints, but they themselves are incompetent, if you and I go to the same place, we will definitely be reused."

"What I want is not power, I just want to serve the country and live up to what I have learned."

"Brother this difference in words, no matter when the military power is crucial, He Jin and the eunuch fight is also the same, but the eunuch also knows that he has no ability to command the army, if you and I are like, we don't need to contribute, we will naturally fight for us, with the military power in hand, naturally have the right to speak, waiting for the right time to kill the villain to clear the monarch's side, why worry about not being able to serve the country?"

"Haha, Fengyi is very good."

After the two agreed, they made an appointment to find a suitable opportunity to meet Zhang Rang together, and then Cao Cao took his leave and left. After Cao Cao left, Liu Meng sent a letter to Zhang Rang, saying that he had persuaded Cao Cao to find a day to meet him.

Zhang Rang was naturally overjoyed after receiving the letter, he always knew that Cao Cao had great talents, but although he was a eunuch, he had been reluctant to be with them, but he didn't expect Liu Meng to persuade Cao Cao in a short period of time, so Liu Meng's position in Zhang Rang's heart was more important, and he felt that Liu Meng could be reused, and he faintly wanted to be a confidant.

The next day, Zhang Rang found an opportunity to meet Cao Cao and Liu Meng, not only rewarded him with a lot of property, but also promised to make a statement in front of Emperor Ling to fight for the two of them. Cao Cao saw that Liu Meng's words were realized, and he admired Liu Meng even more. The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and the joy from the bottom of their hearts was naturally discovered by Zhang Rang, and they thought that the two were greedy for power, and they were even more relieved of the two.

Soon after, a holy decree came, and the two were crowned as the commanders of the Yulin Army, in charge of the Yulin Army of the Forbidden Palace, and guarded the safety of the palace.

But why did the former commander of the Yulin Army enter his henchmen, these Yulin troops are naturally mostly people installed by He Jin, but everyone is for profit, and with the financial support of Zhang Rang and others, the two of them soon took these people into their hands.

At this point, Liu Meng and Cao Cao themselves have military power, and they can be regarded as achieving their goals.
