Chapter 143: Cao Cao's Persistence

"Sword Master! You say, I want to slaughter Cao Mengde's house, what do you think? Suddenly, Young Master Yuan said such a sentence, at this time, it was the beginning of the morning, in a sunny weather, but the mood of Young Master Yuan was like the snow flying in the moon, not only that, but it seemed to have other tempers in it;" Uh", Wang Yue stood behind Yuan Shu in a daze: "Lord, you have to think about it, this is our military camp"

"Just talk! Just talk! Young Master Yuan pursed his lips, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sword Master Wang, what do you think of my treatment of you?" ”

"The lord gave me a chance, I dare not forget the grace of the encounter, if the lord has any orders, a certain sword mountain and the sea of fire will not frown!" , Wang Yue was sensitively aware of Yuan Shu's psychological changes, and he felt it from the time Cao Ying came to Yuan Shu's military camp not long ago; "Don't say it's so serious! Such! You follow Xiaoxian, if Cao Mengde has any misdeeds! Be sure to stop him! This guy is not a good bird, he ran away from Xiaoxian", Yuan Shu's eyes rolled slightly; "Got it!" , Wang Yue nodded, indicating that he understood, and then walked to the camp tent in the distance, which was Li's camp, and there was Cao Ying's heroic smile and Li's laughter, it was foreseeable that the two talked happily, and because of this, Master Yuan was jealous; "There's a lot of old talk! Filial piety! It's time for us to go to the Alliance Headquarters! Zang Ziyuan and the others are still waiting, Sun Wentai's vanguard is also about to set off, these things need to be arranged by our think tank! Cao Ying said with a smile on his face; Li Kai stood up and walked a few steps out, the red sun had just revealed half of his face, the sky was clear, the slightly cold breeze made him sober up a lot, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "What Brother Meng De said is very true!" It's time to go! ”

Raised his leg and walked a few steps to the side of his face, and happened to see Yuan Highway with a depressed face over there, Cao Ying waved his hand: "Haha!" Highway brother! Steal the best resourceful man under your command! I'm sorry! ”

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and smiled: "Meng De! You can't snatch it! Filial piety, Wang Jianshi will follow you to protect you! If you need anything, just send a message! ”

Young Master Yuan's answer is very interesting, maybe what these two people said has a pun, Li Kai shook his head, when will he become a sweetheart? "Gong Yuan, take care! If there is anything to ask Brother Zhicai! I will be back! ”

Walking out of the gate, Cao Ying shouted: "Zixiao! Is the carriage ready? Going! ”

"Don't worry! Big brother! It's been ready for a long time, just wait for Mr. Li to arrive! ", Cao Zixiao, Cao Ren, Cao Ying's brother, a rare general, eight feet one and two tall, with prominent forehead bones, deep eye sockets, and two sword eyebrows set off him more heroic;" Brother Meng De is so blessed! You brothers aren't mortals! Li Kai glanced at Cao Ren a few times and said with a smile; Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Xiaoxian still knows metaphysics?" ”

"Just look at the face!" , Li Kai replied with a smile, the so-called metaphysics is a compulsory skill for the god stick - nonsense, nonsense, etc., but he knows what others don't know, so he will predict some things more accurately; "I really didn't expect Xiaoxian to have this kind of knowledge Xu Shao, Mr. Xu once commented on me, I wonder if Xiaoxian can show me something?" , Cao Ying rubbed his hands and asked with a smile; "A capable minister who rules the world, a hero in troubled times? He was right! Li got into the carriage and sighed faintly: "Does Brother Meng De know the greatest sorrow of a person who can be so knowledgeable?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Cao Ying also followed the carriage: "Do you say?"

Sure enough, he is a smart person, and he guessed that he was not far from ten with a roll of his eyes, Li Kai nodded: "Maybe we know the future of others, but we never know what our future will be!" So I'm confused now! And now I'm at a crossroads in my life and I'm lost! ”

"Oh! Then you should give it a try! Sometimes the insistence on not hitting Nan is touching, and sometimes it's just a stupid act! Cao Ying spread his hands: "Discussing these will make people lose their enterprising spirit, don't talk about it!" The only thing Cao wants to do now is to defeat Dong Zhuo and welcome the Son of Heaven! Strive to become a minister of Zhongxing and make due contributions to the Han! ”

"Sneerβ€”β€”!" , Li Kai sneered, as if he had seen something funny, and his silent laughter looked so ironic, Cao Ying's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Is Xiaoxian laughing at my loyalty to the country?" ”

"As you said, the spirit of not hitting the south wall and not looking back is sometimes just a stupid act! Don't always think you'll be able to break through the south wall! Your head isn't that hard! Going with the flow and following the trend is the king! I'm so afraid you'll be swept up in the tide of the timesβ€”drown! Li Kai snapped his fingers and sighed; Hum! I can't imagine that you, Li Xiaoxian, are also a careerist! Cao Ying sneered again and again: "I originally thought that you helped Yuan Shu fight the eunuch party and quell the rebellion, but I thought that you were also a Wang Zuo who was also a Zhongxing Han and was very disappointed!" ”

"Wang Zuo? Has Brother Meng De ever tried to wander the world and live a begging life? I'm afraid not, right? Li Kai said to himself, not looking at Cao Ying's shocked eyes at all: "This era should change!"

I am considered a lucky person, I met Yuan Gong, and there are many unlucky people who died directly, they may be more powerful than me! Brother Meng De, I don't doubt your enthusiasm and loyalty, but your current mentality is not very good!

You're in too much of a hurry, or you're going against the tide now! Do you observe these people around you closely? Do you know what they think? Others don't say it, just take Yuan Benchu as an example, the moment he became the leader of the Yuan League, Yuan Shao, who used to be 'my sword is not good', is gone! In its place is a hero!

The current eighteen-way princes, you can refer to the eighteen-way princes at the end of Qin, if you haven't figured out these things, please go farther! I don't want to talk to a stupid guy who doesn't understand things! ”

"You", Cao Ying's face was cloudy, silent for a long time, he was not a fool, nor a fool, on the contrary, he was a rare shrewd and capable person, and he knew very well what was going on with all the truths here; "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty represents more than a simple dynasty change, it contains many other things, such as the collision between cultures, the transformation of the family and the years of forbearance of the Hanmen scholars, and I am one of the representatives of the Hanmen scholars!" , Li Kai's sneering face seemed to be mocking someone; Cao Ying is still silent, his grandfather was a eunuch and the leader of the eunuch party Cao Teng, but Cao Teng is very accomplished, even if he is a crippled person, he can be ranked as the third duke, and he is praised, and he has always been proud of his grandfather, because his grandfather taught him to be loyal and patriotic; When he became the captain of Luoyang North Lieutenant, his psychology quietly changed, he wanted to be a good official, so he killed his uncle who was like Zhongtian at that time; Ignorant and fearless, surnamed stoic, Cao Mengde did do a good thing, if it weren't for Cao Teng who was alive at the time, and his teacher Taiwei Qiao Xuan also dredged up and down for him, he would probably have died, but he didn't pay the price, he was transferred to other places to serve as a county magistrate, and he learned a lot from this incident; Later, through the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he once again performed outstandingly, and was favored by the famous Han general Huangfu Song and others, and rose high, and the rise of the general He Jin also absorbed him into his command, and then served as the minister of Jinan, at this time his ambition in his heart was not only to be a good official; After experiencing the war and the war, he found that the war was a very interesting thing that attracted him very much, so his ideal went through layers of transformation and became - General of the Han Dynasty to conquer the West! He wanted to be such a person; No one has decided that I want to become a peerless hero, a capable minister or anything like that, Cao Ying is no exception, even if Xu Shao gave him a very high evaluation back then, at that time he just thought that Xu Shao couldn't stop his soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he was playing; "Brother Mengde! The ideal is plump, but the reality is the backbone! Don't think too well about everything, it will kill you! I say this to you because you are now the head of an Allied think tank, or you might call it Chief of Staff!

Your words and deeds, or the deviation of ideas between you and us, will cause irreparable mistakes, Dong Zhuo is strong, if he had already thought about it, it would not be impossible to break us all, but he didn't do it, which shows that he has other ideas in his heart; It would be terrible if he were going to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe me out! So! There are so many things that need to be considered now, whether they are external or internal, whether they are dealing with the enemy or reconciling internal contradictions, they need to be added! Li said leisurely; The princes of the Eighteenth Route of the Allied Forces have their own dirty and thoughts, and these need to be discussed when formulating strategies, if Cao Ying doesn't understand this matter, it will inevitably make a big mistake, and the consequences are likely to be borne by himself, at least Li Kai has a good impression of him, and the two are also very happy to talk about each other, they can become friends, he doesn't want to see Cao Ying die like this, and death is worthless; "Bang!" , The three-inch-thick wooden plank of the carriage was pierced, Cao Ying's throat let out a low roar, full of unwillingness, his eyes were faintly red, he looked very terrible, seeing a fist piercing out of the carriage, Cao Ren hurriedly came over and opened the door curtain: "Big brother"

"Get out!" , Cao Ying spit out two words indifferently, it seemed that Cao Ren's blood-red eyes were frightened, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly went out, and Wang Yue on the other side also hurriedly inquired, for fear that something would happen to Li Kai: "Little sir?" Are you alright? ”

"Don't worry! I'm fine! Li Kai replied: "Brother Meng De can't think about it, I'm enlightening him!" ”

"Figured it out?" , stabbed, Li Kai tore open a piece of the placket on his body, spread out Cao Ying's palm, and pulled out the wooden thorns on it one by one, not only the bleeding hand made Cao Ying feel unbearable pain, but also the emotions in his heart fluctuated, and his hand kept shaking; While bandaging Cao Ying, Li Mouren said: "If you can't figure it out, hit the wall!" I don't think Brother Mengde's head should be so hard, you will probably hit your head and come back bleeding, and then you will look at the road ahead! ”

"Could it be that the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty is going to decline like this?" Cao Ying was bitter, grabbed Li Kai's hand, and asked eagerly: "Tell me!" Is he really hopeless? This is not true? Isn't it? ”

Li Kai broke Cao Ying's hand and pouted: "Brother Mengde, are you too stubborn?" If I tell you that he is no longer saved, do you believe it? ”

"Woo woo woo", in a word, Cao Ying actually whimpered, maybe it was sad after the dream was broken, or he felt sad about the decline of this dynasty, he has always been strong, he cried without crying when his grandfather Cao Teng died!

The sad whimper is just like a lone wolf, howling on the empty land, at this moment, the lone wolf with no mercy slowly transformed into a bloodthirsty wolf king, and Cao Ying's ambition gradually awakened!

"Dangdangdang", Li Kai knocked on the wooden board of the carriage and made a crisp sound, and sighed silently: "Frankly speaking, your dream and loyalty to the country are worthy of my admiration, but this world and this era are like this!" It's a luxury to be alive, but what about the rest? Maybe you should move on to something else! ”

"Taught!" , Cao Ying bowed his waist in the carriage and gave a sincere salute, Li accepted it calmly, and then said: "Okay! Let's talk about the rest of the things first! For example, how to exert the power of the princes of the Eighteen Roads to the extreme! ”

"As far as I know, there are not many of the current Eighteenth Route Princes who can exert their combat effectiveness!" , Cao Ying sighed: "Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan, Hanoi is too guarded by Wang Kuang, Dongjun is too guarded by Qiao Mao, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and Shangdang is too guarded by Zhang Yang, this is the most powerful group of people; The second is Ma Teng, Gongsun Zhan, who have reached an agreement, as well as Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Tao Qian, Kong Ling, Kong Rong who have discussed Dong Alliance for the first time, and maybe Yuan Highway, in addition to fools like me, Bao Xin and Sun Wentai have their own thoughts, and they want to twist these people into a rope, difficult! Difficult! Difficult! ”

"I can't say that, it depends on what we do! If the means are right, it is not impossible to force these people to fight hard! Li Kai said with a smile: "I've always liked to be pessimistic about certain things!" Do the worst to get the biggest victory, I wonder if Brother Meng De thinks so? ”

"Hahaha interesting! Interesting! Cao Ying laughed, I have to say that he is a dog-faced, and he will turn it over!

"Big brother! It's time to get there! Cao Ren shouted quietly outside, Cao Ying's cruel eyes just now really scared him a lot, Cao Ren's surname is more jumpy, he is also the youngest of these brothers, Cao Ying has always taken good care of him, and has always been encouraged

"Got it! Zixiao! Cao Ying smiled, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, turned around and gave Li a hand, and helped him out of the car. Li Kai has also been worried that other things will happen after getting along with Cao Ying for a long time, so his feelings for Cao Ying are very complicated now, on the one hand, he has the intention of killing Cao Ying and then hurrying, on the other hand, he doesn't want Cao Ying to develop in a bad direction, which is very contradictory; got out of the carriage, and it was Sun Wentai and Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao who came to meet him, this lewd man with two mouse's whiskers felt that he was very obscene, Li Kai did not speak slightly, but Cao Ying greeted these two with a smile on his face; Sun Jian was still observing Li Kai's face intentionally or unintentionally, and what disappointed him was that Li Kai had no expression at all, he couldn't wait to ask for the task of being a pioneer, and he didn't have the intention of getting rid of Yuan Shu and setting up his own door; Yuan Shu is not terrible, in terms of shrewdness and ability, no matter which point Sun Jian has the confidence to blow him up, but the two strategists around Yuan Shu are not good birds, let him be controlled everywhere and get no benefits, then it is impossible to implement the strategy of borrowing chickens and eggs; It is already an urgent matter to get rid of Yuan Shu as soon as possible, Sun Wentai immediately asked Yuan Shu, which made him feel a little more at ease in his heart Of course, the necessary vigilance is still necessary, if someone stabs him in the back, it is very terrible!

"Brother Mengde! The army is about to go on the expedition, we are now counting on you to come up with a charter, there are more than 30,000 garrisons in Bishui Pass, which is almost the same as our strength Bishui Pass is the best pass in the world, and it is difficult to break through it! Sun Wentai complained; Brother Wentai thinks too much! Hu Zhen is not something you haven't seen before, arrogant and proud! I guess he'll choose to go out to fight, you already have a plan in mind, why are you still here to ask? The soldiers are fast, you better hurry up and send the troops! Ha ha! Li said with a smile; Sun Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Li Su was also sent to Bishui Pass!" Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: go up to the army to fight, attack the heart for the upper and attack the city for the bottom, do not attack the city until the last resort, even if it is a siege, you need to ensure that it is twice to three times the enemy"

"I'm afraid Brother Wentai is going to be disappointed! The Allied Think Tank is only responsible for making suggestions, not for dispatching troops, so you should look for Yuan Meng's master to ask for some soldiers and horses! Li Mouren spread his hands and didn't care about Sun Jian's embarrassed face at all, and walked straight to the big tent and talked with Zang Hong, Xu You, and Fu Zhu; Qiao Mao twisted his beard and said indignantly, "Who is this person?" Such an act ends in the unbeing of the Son of Man! Shaft! ”

"Brother Yuan Wei doesn't know him?" , Cao Mao was very surprised, and he also despised Qiao Mao, he and Qiao Mao have also known each other for many years, knowing that this guy is a man of character and arrogant, it is estimated that he now thinks that Yuan Shao is the boss of the sky, he is the second in the earth, this kind of person will not live long!

"Why should I know him? Wentai! Let's go! Qiao Mao snorted, called Sun Jian's words very unceremoniously, and automatically put Sun Jian in his lower position; Sun Jian's eyes flashed, and he silently saluted Cao Ying and turned to leave, when he turned around, a sneer on the corner of his mouth happened to be seen by Cao Ying, and Cao Ying's heart suddenly - Sun Wentai moved to kill! It is estimated that Qiao Mao will soon say goodbye to this world!

When has it been, there are so many unstable factors among the allies! Cao Ying had a depressed aura in his heart
