"Originally, in your opinion, is it possible for the general to completely exterminate the eunuchs?"

He was a famous wise man in his own right. However, he also admired Yuan Shao's insight very much. Yuan Shao's understanding of the court situation is something that He Yan, a person who has never really entered the core of the court, sincerely admires.

"No way!"

Yuan Shao's judgment was extremely firm.

"He Sui is no taller than General Dou [Dou Wu]. General Dou himself is a celebrity, and he is among the "Three Gentlemen" (1), but he just gave birth to a good daughter and happened to be a relative. But with him, everyone in the world will support the Dou family. But why is it that he is not as high as a mere poor family, and he is not a middle-aged person, a hero in the world, how many of them will really obey such a fortunate minister? ”

"Take you and me as an example, they just regard He Suigao as a minion, even if they are willing to be in a lower position now, they will definitely surpass He Suigao and take charge of the Han Dynasty in the future."

"Although He Suigao is not outstanding, if he can't see these basic matters, he won't be able to do the position of a general at all. What's more, He Suigao's promotion has also received a lot of favors from the ten permanent servants. With these favors, He Suigao would not categorically give a heavy hand to the eunuchs. ”

"If I am He Suigao, the most ideal thing is to use the power of the party to maintain a fight with the eunuchs, and on the other hand, through Queen He, secretly show favor to the eunuchs and join hands to suppress the party."

"As long as He Suigao is skillful, this situation will remain unchanged. When a group of talented people under the sect are promoted, He Suigao will have the confidence to be fearless of other important ministers in the DPRK and China, and he will truly be self-contained. ”

When He Yan heard this, he shook his head again and again and said:

"It's too difficult to do this! It's too hard! However, now it is the Son of Heaven who secretly wants to attack the general. Will the general still be able to hold on? ”

"As long as the Son of Heaven doesn't want to cause a big rebellion in Luoyang City, and the blood of the killings is like a river, he will not overly persecute the general. After all, He Suigao has recruited a few henchmen in the Northern Army over the years. If the Son of Heaven wants to weaken the power of the Great General. Presumably, he will find the general's henchmen first. ”

"In this way, Bao Hong is afraid that this time, he is afraid that he will be more auspicious?"

Yuan Shao stopped his wine glass, fixed it, and said regretfully:

"Bao Hong is also a well-known person at home, for the sake of fame, it is a pity that he is wholeheartedly devoted to He Suigao......"

While the two were discussing, the voice of the attendant sounded outside the house:

"The hosts. Captain Cao is here! ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure with a short stature, but which made people feel infinite vitality at a glance, strode in from the door. As he walked, the man said:

"Big brother, brother Boqiu, I'm late!"

This kind of behavior of going straight to others is very rude. But. Yuan Shao is very familiar with the person who came, and knows that the person who comes is such an informal look. Naturally not angry. On the contrary, he happily greeted the visitor:

"Mengde, is the camp still down today?"

Cao Mengde, that is, the famous Cao Cao in later generations, walked a few steps to the prepared desk, sat on his feet, and first raised his glass and poured a sip of wine. Only then did he answer Yuan Shao's question with a smile:

"So-so. Today, the change of the drill formation only interrupted two military sticks. ”

Among the eight lieutenants in the West Garden, the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo was the commander of the whole army, but he only grasped the promotion personnel in the army, often in order to serve the Son of Heaven. I don't go to the barracks all day.

Yuan Shao, a lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, was responsible for the logistics and food supply of the whole army, and usually walked around the various temples and offices of the imperial court to create contacts between the court and the central government. He didn't stay in the army as long as he did in the imperial court temple.

As for Bao Hong, the lieutenant of the lower military academy, he was originally in charge of training in the army. However, this unfortunate bastard is now in prison. As a result, the training tasks in the army were also taken care of by Cao Cao, a military captain who was originally in charge of military discipline.

In addition, there are also Zhao Rong, the left captain of the auxiliary army, Feng Fang, the right captain of the auxiliary army, Xia Mou, the left captain and others, in the Xiyuan Army, they are also some guys who "fish for three days and dry nets for two days". The minds of these people are not in the ranks, and their eyes are always fixed on the court.

Among the current eight captains in Xiyuan, who stay in the barracks all the year round and train soldiers, there are only Cao Cao and Chun Yuqiong, two capable officials known as "knowing soldiers".

"What about Zhong Jian? Didn't come with you? ”

"Zhong Jian's relatives are from their hometown, something is wrong!"

Cao Cao raised the "chopstick", that is, the chopsticks of later generations, and while talking, he actively stuffed a piece of roasted mutton into his mouth.

Zhong Jian is the character of Chun Yuqiong, the right captain of the Xiyuan Army.

It is said that this Chun Yuqiong was once struck by the heavenly thunder summoned by the "Great Sage and Good Teacher" Zhang Jiao in the Battle of Guangzong a few years ago. Dozens of guards around him bled to death under the thunderstorm. Only he himself, relying on a breath of pure internal qi, actually held on, but his legs and feet became a little unsharp, and the rest was fine.

Not only that, after Chun Yuqiong experienced this catastrophe, he actually mastered the power of thunder and lightning incredibly. Once he made a move, the power of thunder and lightning in his true qi would be automatically released, making his martial arts much more powerful. Because of such an adventure, the soldiers in the camp all called Chun Yuqiong "Thor" in awe.

Of course, for people who don't like Chun Yuqiong, because Chun Yuqiong's feet are inconvenient to walk, he deliberately calls Chun Yuqiong "lame".

Yuan Shao and He Yan saw that Cao Cao was hungry and fierce, and they also stopped talking. It was only after Cao Cao had finished eating a bowl of "suo cakes", which was later called noodles, that he continued to chat.

"Mengde, what's going on in the camp?"

Although Yuan Shao did not often go to the camp of the Xiyuan Army, he was by no means unconcerned about the movements of the Xiyuan Army. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Cao Cao about things in the army.

"Today in the camp, I met a small official from the state and brought 300 soldiers to the West Garden. Big brother, your burden is a little heavier! ”

Yuan Shao didn't answer, but He Shao asked:

"Meng De, you chatted with this state official, did you talk about the deeds of that Taihang captain?"

Cao Cao picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile:

"Of course. If you want to say that the person who is in the limelight in Bingzhou now, it must be the insolence of the remnants of the yellow scarf! ”

Putting down the wine glass, Cao Cao changed his posture and sat on the straw mat. Hands waved in the air and said:

"The little official who came from Bingzhou today, called Zhang Liao, looks extraordinary in martial arts, and he is also a good young general. However, when he talked about several fierce generals under his arrogant command, he seemed to admire him very much. Thus. This arrogance must have something extraordinary, and the generals under him are afraid that they are not idle! ”

"Oh? Who are some of these arrogant people? Why don't you tell us about it? ”

Yuan Shao was very interested when he heard Cao Cao say this.

He himself attaches great importance to the matter of making friends. In particular, the current situation in Kyoto is becoming more and more intense. In this situation, where force is becoming more and more important. Yuan Shao, who originally attached importance to collecting the world's heroes, felt more and more urgent.

"Big brother, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Cao Cao's age is younger than Yuan Shao, so he has always treated Yuan Shao with the attitude of treating his brother. He glanced at Yuan Shao and He Yan, and found that both of them were staring at him directly, and they didn't sell it, and directly began to narrate:

"And the state official Zhang Liao. Although he is not very old, he is only about 20. He acts and speaks very cheerfully, without twisting. What's even more rare is that when I watched his actions, I found that this person's 'Zhan Qi' was probably already a big success. With my senses, I am only afraid of my brother Yuan Rang, at the age of twenty. The cultivation of 'Zhan Qi' is nothing more than that. ”

Yuan Shao, He Yan and Cao Cao are all very familiar with each other, and they know that the "my brother Yuan Rang" that Cao Cao said is Cao Cao's brother Xiahoudun.

This Xiahoudun, Yuan Shao and He Yan have all seen it, and it is really extraordinary. A body of martial arts has reached the peak of the "Thousand People Broken" level, and it is only one step away from being "Ten Thousand Enemies".

Zhang Liao, the minor official of the state, if his strength can be compared with Xiahoudun, then in the entire Xiyuan Army, there are few generals who can be compared with Zhang Liao.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed in his heart, and the state is worthy of being a place for border fighting, and a small official appeared casually, and it was actually a "thousand people broken".

"Zhang Liao once followed Ding Jianyang [Ding Yuan] and met with the generals under Zhang Mad. According to Zhang Liao, there are a lot of fierce generals under Zhang Mad, and there are as many as three people who have seen him with his own eyes and martial arts above him. Among the rest of the hidden army, those who have never shown up are even more unknown? ”

"The three people known to Zhang Liao, one surnamed Guan Mingyu, has a divine sword technique; A compound surname Taishi, the name is Ci, and the archery skills are unpredictable; There is another one, surnamed Zhao Mingyun, a spear, as strong as a dragon. Zhang Liao said frankly that if it is a life-and-death fight, against any of these three people, Zhang Liao's chance of victory is less than one percent! ”

Less than one percent, that means that Zhang Liao's martial arts, in comparison, are more than a step apart. Thinking of this, thinking of Cao Cao's evaluation of Zhang Liao just now, Yuan Shao was shocked:

- To be able to defeat a pinnacle "Thousand People Break" so easily, at least the strength of "Ten Thousand Enemies" is required!

- Mengde's words must be exaggerated! Otherwise, there are three "10,000 enemies" in the small group of Yellow Turban remnants, which is too ridiculous!

Yuan Shao understands Cao Cao's character, knows that this little brother likes to play tricks, loves literature, and often says unreliable things. Just like when he was younger, he fooled his uncle. ②

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao did not break it, and automatically positioned the three generals of the Taixing Army as "a thousand people broken". In his eyes, it is already a miracle that there can be three "thousand-broken" fierce generals in a "thief" army.

After all, the 400-year-old prestige of the Han Dynasty is there. To be able to become a "thousand people broken", usually the first choice is to join the Han military camp, with the sword in his hand, for his family, to fight a "wife and shadow".

If they can't join the army, they usually choose to defect to the family in exchange for a chance to get ahead.

Such a talent, if he wants to be a thief, he must be a big thief who is famous on one side, how can he easily succumb to others?! (To be continued......)

PS: PS: (1) Three Gentlemen: The party members called Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan the "three gentlemen" as the spiritual leaders of the party. Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Preface to the Biography of the Party": "Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan are the 'three gentlemen'. The monarch is also the ancestor of the first generation. ”

(2) Cao Cao fooled his uncle, referring to the cloud in "Cao Concealment":

Taizu is a good flying eagle lackey, wandering excessively, and his uncle said a few words to Song. Taizu suffered, and then met his uncle on the road, and he was defeated; The uncle asked the reason for the blame, and Taizu said: "Stroke of the evil wind." "Uncle Song. Song was stunned, calling Taizu, Taizu's mouth was the same.

Song asked: "Uncle Yanru has a stroke, is it almost there?" Taizu said: "I didn't have a stroke at first, but I lost love to my uncle, so I turned a deaf ear." "Song is suspicious. Since his uncle told him, Song never replied, and Taizu benefited from wantonness.
