Xiahoudun was quickly forcibly dragged back to his position by Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao.

The expression on Wang Chong's face was a little strange, originally he thought that after he refused to serve Cao Cao, there should be many people on the scene who were angry, but in fact, except for the hot-tempered Xiahou Dun, who showed enough anger, the rest of the civil and military forces, including Cao Cao, had very calm expressions.

What Wang Chong didn't know was that during the time he was waiting outside, Cao Cao had already discussed Wang Chong's intentions with Guo Jia and other advisers, and came to the conclusion that Wang Chong's ambitions were very high, and the possibility of letting him stay in Cao Ying was very low.

First, Wang Chong simply rejected Xu Chu's solicitation before.

In addition, judging from Wang Chong's ability to successfully attack Yuan Yin's camp, his power in Huainan does not seem to be weak.

To sum up, Wang Chong's refusal was actually expected by Cao Cao and others.

Cao Cao glanced at Wang Chong lightly: "Say, what reward do you want?" ”

Wang Chong said his purpose very directly: "I want Huainan!" ”

"Huainan?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed into a line, playing with the taste, "Isn't your appetite small?" ”

"Anyway, Cao Gong doesn't have an appetite for food for the time being, so what's the harm in letting me eat?" Wang Chong replied without being arrogant or humble, "Besides, doesn't Gong Cao think that Jiangdong Sun Bofu is developing too fast?" If there is no force in the southeast that can compete with Sun Ce, maybe before Cao Gong can repel Yuan Benchu, the entire Huainan land will have fallen into Sun Ce's hands, presumably Cao Gong doesn't want the southeast to be dominated by Sun Ce's family, right? ”

A gleam flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, he didn't expect Wang Chong to be able to see the situation in the world so thoroughly at such a young age.

Wang Chong's words can be said to have poked directly at Cao Cao's heart, and Sun Ce's development momentum in Jiangdong really made Cao Cao jealous.

In order to avoid being blown up by others in the duel against Yuan Shao, in recent years, Cao Cao can only choose to continue to appease Sun Ce, just last year, Cao Cao has appointed Sun Ce as a rebellious general, named Marquis Wu, and even later, even shouted out such discouraged words as 'lions are difficult to compete with'.

If he could, Cao Cao certainly hoped that a powerful force would appear in the southeast that could inhibit Sun Ce's development, but the young man in front of him ......

"Shaolin, how do you think you compare to Sun Bofu?" At this time, Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Sun Bofu's sweeping of Jiangdong has been completed, how many layers are you sure that you can resist Sun Ce's strong attack?" ”

"It's a matter of people." Wang Chong shrugged his shoulders and said confidently, "Although Sun Bofu is strong, I am not afraid, if Huainan is in my hands, I will not let him cross the river half a step in this life!" ”

Xiahoudun snorted coldly with a cold face: "What a big breath!" ”

"If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then what kind of war is there to fight? It's better to surrender directly. Wang Chong responded lightly, and then changed his tone and said with a smile, "Besides, I'm still young, of course I have to try more, if it turns out afterwards that it is not that material, then I will run to Xu Du to hug Cao Gong's thigh, and at that time, I hope that Cao Gong will not turn him away." ”

Wang Chong's joke caused everyone present to laugh, and Cao Cao also laughed when he heard this: "Okay, the face of everyone in today's lunch to answer you, no matter when you come to Shaolin, you will be swept away!" ”

Cao Cao suddenly admired Wang Chong a little, you must know that at Wang Chong's age, he was still mixed with Yuan Shao in Luoyang City to peek at the widow taking a bath, how could Wang Chong be so awe-inspiring and ambitious at this time?

"Thank you Cao Gong for that!" Wang Chong smiled and said, "But Cao Gong had better not get too much hope, Chong is still very confident in himself, maybe one day in the future, you and I will face off on the battlefield!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned and smiled: "Oh? and wait for that day to come! ”

"There will be a day." Wang Chong paused as he spoke, and asked Cao Cao, "I heard that Cao Gong once cooked wine with Uncle Liu Huang in the pavilion some time ago, and talked about the heroes of the world, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "What? Could it be that Shaolin has a different opinion? ”

Of course, Cao Gong once said: A man who is a hero has great ambitions, good plans, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth. Liu Bei is a weaver and a peddler, panicking like a lost dog in front of Cao Gong, how can he be a hero? ”

"According to Shaolin's opinion, who in the world can be a hero?"

Wang Chong pointed at Cao Cao and himself: "The heroes of the world, only Cao Gong and Chong are two!" ”

Hiss!

As soon as Wang Chong said this, everyone present gasped.

Xiahoudun said disdainfully: "Hmph, I don't know the so-called arrogant person, with your little fart who hasn't grown up yet, how dare you compare with my family?" ”

Wang Chong glanced at Xiahoudun lightly: "Ambition is not old, time will tell!" ”

"It's a good sentence to have ambitions, not to be old!" Cao Cao stroked his palms and exclaimed, "Shaolin, now Yuan Benchu dominates Hebei, holding millions of soldiers; Jiangdong Sun Bofu is strong and unstoppable, could it be that in your eyes, neither of them can be called heroes? ”

Wang Chong shook his head: "It's still the same sentence, time will prove everything, in Chong's opinion, in less than five years, Cao Gong can destroy Yuan Shao and dominate the north, and Chong can also subvert the Sun family and unify Jiangnan." ”

"How can Shaolin be sure that he can beat Yuan Shao?"

"Gongming wins Shao, Yong wins Shao, employs people to win Shao, decisive wins Shao, with these four victories, how can Yuan Shao be the enemy of Gong?"

Wang Chong's words quoted the reason for Jia Xu's four victories, as for why he didn't quote Guo Jia's theory of ten wins and ten defeats, the main reason was that the article was too long, and Wang Chong didn't remember it at all.

"What a four-win theory!" At this time, not only Cao Cao, but even his advisers Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others were also brilliant in their eyes.

In fact, the current Cao Cao does not have much confidence to defeat Yuan Shao, and Wang Chong's remarks at this time undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of Cao Ying.

At this time, the more Cao Cao looked at Wang Chong, the more pleasing he felt, so he didn't give up and said: "Shaolin, do you really want to stay and serve the imperial court?" ”

Wang Chong smiled and did not speak.

"Aren't you afraid that you will be forcibly detained in Xu Du to get rid of future troubles?"

Wang Chong said with a smile: "Chong is just a rhetorical person, and he should not be taken so seriously by Cao Gong." ”

"Okay." Seeing Wang Chong's resolute attitude, Cao Cao sighed and no longer advised, "This matter still needs to wait for the Son of Heaven to make a conclusion, Zhongkang, take Shaolin to the post house to rest first!" ”

"No!"

"Boy, quit!" Wang Chong respectfully saluted Cao Cao and his civil and military forces, and slowly withdrew from the hall with Xu Chu.

When Wang Chong left, Cao Cao asked everyone, "How is this son?" ”

Xun Yu: "In the face of danger, it is the style of a general." ”

Xun You: "This son is smart and old-fashioned, but he doesn't rely on the jade seal, and he will not be in the pool in the future!" ”

Cheng Yu: "If the public lets the tiger return to the mountain, I am afraid that it will become a strong enemy of our army, so it is better to kill it to get rid of future troubles!" ”

Zhang Liao: "How can Wang Shaolin be talented, you can use Sun Ce to try it, if it can really curb the development of Jiangdong, it is not a good thing for Ming Gong, and if it is defeated, then Ming Gong can get a talent, why not?" ”

Guo Jia concluded: "The jade seal of the country is lost and recovered, and there is a great benefit in Jiangshan Sheji, and tomorrow the prince will be the son of heaven, and he will be a high-ranking official, and let this tiger go to bite the Jiangdong lion, we can wait and see what happens, and sit and collect the fisherman." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "Good!" ”
