Chapter 493: Tracking
"Come out, come out..." When the door of the General's Mansion opened, everyone in the tea shed unconsciously exhaled softly.
A voice like this is nothing, almost unnoticeable, but when many people make such a sound, no matter how faint, it will converge into a sound that cannot be ignored. Just like now, all the players looked at the position of the main entrance of the General's Mansion in unison, and many people stood up and walked out of the tea shed.
The man who came out of the general's palace almost did not stop, and walked straight to the parked carriage, and after getting into the car, the coachman controlled the carriage and drove away. At this time, there will be people who follow without a trace, blending into the walking pedestrians on the street.
At this hour, there were already a lot of people and pedestrians on the long street, so the speed of the carriage was even less fast. What's more, many of the owners of the carriage didn't know that someone was following him, so there was little pressure on the people who were following him, and they only had to hang from a distance. Their task is not to do anything to the people sitting in the carriage, it is just a simple tracking task, just to see where the carriage goes, and finally determine the identity of the owner of the carriage.
"Huh? What about Yuan Shao? A player in the tea shed frowned, and the player sitting at his table also looked around.
"Alliance leader, I didn't see Yuan Shao." Some players reported.
"Neither do I."
"Me too."
…
Several people searched for a long time, and they had all seen Yuan Shao's appearance before, in fact, what Yuan Shao looked like, it was not a secret that the players in Luoyang City were the same, including Cao Cao. Many players were also searching for Yuan Shao, but they didn't find him at all, and they saw Cao Cao and a scribe slowly walking out of the main gate of the Great General's Mansion.
When Cao Cao walked out, no one came out from behind, and the main gate of the General's Mansion slowly closed. Those players who were still waiting for Yuan Shao to appear looked at each other and were confused, could it be that Yuan Shao had evaporated from the world?
"Strange, why didn't Yuan Shao come out?" A player muttered to himself, obviously he had watched Yuan Shao walk into He Jin's Great General's Mansion with his own eyes!
Could it be that Yuan Shao was left behind by He Jin? It occurred to him suddenly. It's not impossible, but with He Jin's respect as a general, it seems that there is no need to leave Yuan Shao to do anything, right? Unless... His eyes lit up, Yuan Shao didn't take the usual path, maybe he left from the back door of the Great General's Mansion!
Immediately, the player's eyes dimmed again, no wonder he always felt that he had forgotten something, it turned out that he was only staring at the main gate of the Great General's Mansion, and forgot to send someone to the back door! However, he didn't know how many doors there were in the General's Mansion, and the fist fell hard, and the whole table shook, and he was annoyed by the mistake of physical strength.
There were many players in the entire tea shed who were as frustrated as this player, and only a few players were overjoyed because they were already prepared. Not only the main entrance, but even a back door of the General's Mansion, and two side doors, they have left manpower.
"Ants." At the back door of the general, a military general with a gun looked at the distant carriage and lowered his head to look at a player who was vomiting blood at his feet.
Around him, there were many players who did not know whether they were alive or dead, but judging by the blood that slowly seeped and spread from under their bodies, these players were probably dead. Even if they didn't die now, they would die soon, and the blood would only flow more and more until the last bit of energy in their bodies was drained.
He smiled disdainfully, and walked forward with his spear in hand, his boots in a pool of blood, and when he lifted them again, drops of blood drooped down from the soles of his boots. He walked straight up to the player who was vomiting blood and still had a sparkle in his eyes, and then stomped down with a heavy kick.
"Smack." For a moment, I don't know how many bones shattered, and the player's body twitched, and more and more blood vomited from his mouth, with dark red blood clots. By the time the general's feet were removed, all that was left was a corpse that was gradually cold.
Cao Cao walked down the steps, talking to Xun Yu beside him, while pacing slowly away from the General's Mansion. He is probably the most distinctive of these generals' mansions, and he is also the one who looks the most miserable, because whether he comes or goes, he uses walking.
Compared to other people's carriages, this way of using only feet is undoubtedly extremely prominent in comparison. But Cao Cao didn't care, he was used to it anyway, otherwise with his Cao family's financial resources, how could he not even have a carriage?
A carriage was heading towards Cao Cao and finally stopped in front of Cao Cao. At this time, Xun You stood up, waved his hand, and motioned for the carriage to leave, and the carriage drove away quickly.
Xun You was very curious about Cao Cao, so he accosted Cao Cao in the General's Mansion and decided to go for a drink with him, otherwise most of the time, he would prefer to be alone, including in the Council Chamber in the General's Mansion, and he was also one of the few people who were silent in the audience.
At that time, he was silent, he saw Cao Cao who spoke, and he also heard those words that were not good at that time, at least for He Jin and some people. So he noticed Cao Cao, because even he wouldn't speak in that environment, even if what he thought in his heart was not much different from what Cao Cao said.
But that time was not a good time to say it, because He Jin was not in a hurry, and saying it had no effect except to disgust him, so he was silent. What he, a smart man, did not do, and said, appeared in another person's body and in another person's mouth at this time.
It is obvious that Cao Cao is not stupid or stupid, otherwise he would not have done what many people dare not do and cannot do when he was the governor of the central and northern parts of Luoyang City. Nor can he go out with the army in the Battle of the Yellow Turban, and earn military merits because of this, becoming one of the ten people who Lu Zhonglang personally performed for him. He was even more unable to gain His Majesty's favor and appointed him as one of the eight captains of the West Garden.
How could such a person be a fool? How can he be a person who doesn't know how to advance and retreat? But he suddenly became stupid, and in an inappropriate occasion, he said things that should not be said, poured cold water that should not be splashed, and at the same time made people who should not be offended disgusted.
This is such a contradiction, Xun You is puzzled, he doesn't believe that Cao Mengde doesn't know what kind of result what he said and did. But precisely, even when he knew the situation, he still chose this way, which made Xun You can't help but have a heart of inquiry.
Knowing that you can't do it, knowing that everyone else doesn't do it, and knowing that you harm yourself, this is not stupid, but fearless, fearless. Strictly speaking, what Cao Cao said was not wrong, but it was not what He Jin and a large number of people wanted to hear, so what was right became wrong.
Therefore, Xun You walked with Cao Cao at this time and was ready to go to drink a little wine with him. He is not a good drinker, and he is not a good drinker, and he does not drink with other people casually. For Xun You, drinking wine must be drunk with the right person, otherwise the wine will be bitter and tasteless. It was precisely Cao Cao who Xun You felt was the right person, because of curiosity and inquiry, so he accepted Cao Mengde's invitation.
Now that he thinks about it, Xun You suddenly realized that the last meal of wine was already extremely far away. At least since he came to Luoyang City, he has not drunk alcohol. Thinking of the group of people in Yingchuan Academy, especially Guo Fengxiao, who was a good winemaker, he smiled unconsciously.
Candle Shadow slowly drank the tea in the teacup, then put the teacup down, and said to Yunting: "I'll leave now, there will be a period later." ”
"Yes. Hope to hear good news from you next time you see you again. Yun Ting nodded.
"Me too." Candle Shadow smiled slightly, stood up, and left in the opposite direction to Cao Cao.
Yun Ting also stood up and left, the meeting with Candle Shadow made him feel a lot more relieved, with Cao Cao here, then he would definitely be able to understand the news from He Jin's side for the first time. Even if He Jin still summons troops from all over the country into Beijing at that time, he can be prepared, at least he can transfer that part of Luoyang City out in time.
"Why does Mende like to walk?" After walking for a long time, Xun You asked. He began to gasp, but not violently, and for a man like him, being able to even carry a sword to the battlefield when needed was nothing. But such an usually inconspicuous part of the journey made Xun You start to pant, not because Xun You's body was not good, but because the person who walked side by side with him was Cao Cao.
In other words, Xun You was trying to keep up with Cao Cao's pace, and the pace would begin to pant. Awkward, that's right, it's awkward, it turns out that Xun You basically doesn't need much strength to walk, but when he keeps up with Cao Cao, he will feel that he is too "hard". Because he was unconsciously influenced by Cao Cao, his pace was assimilated, and he moved forward with a pace that was not originally his habit.
"Because walking allows me to understand something." Cao Cao replied.
He paced his steps, neither too small nor too small, always maintaining a fixed span. It's like measuring this long street with his steps, but in fact, Cao Cao doesn't have this idea, he just unconsciously enters a comfortable walking posture.
This speed is not fast or slow, for Cao Cao is just right, this is his rhythm. When passing by pedestrians, there are pedestrians accidentally colliding, and Cao Cao can also dodge just right, almost like a subconscious action.
"Then what did Meng De understand?" Xun You continued to ask.
"I figured out that there were people who sat on very high positions and could only see a small piece of land in front of them. There are those who have power but have no way to use it in the right place. ”
"Instead of expecting this kind of person to change and do something, it's better to do it yourself. Although I don't sit in such a high position, I don't think it's just an acre and a third of land in his eyes. I don't have much power, but now that I have it, I have to be worthy of it. ”
"Someone has to do something, whether someone else does it or not. Since no one wants to do it, then I'll do it. Cao Cao said solemnly.
He had already thought clearly when he left the door of the General's Mansion, relying on others is better than relying on himself. If you want others to change, it is extremely difficult, it is better to change the things you want to change. It's hard to change people, but some things are easier than changing a person. And, he believes, his hands, are able to pry certain things.
"I see." Xun Yu nodded clearly, he knew who the person in Cao Mengde's words was, and only He Jin met the two conditions of sitting high in that position and having very much power.
He suddenly sighed, a person as courageless as He Jin couldn't even decide a thing, but he could sit on the position of a general. And a person like Cao Mengde, who was so courageous, who quickly recovered from setbacks, and who had a very resolute determination, was only a military cadet.
Among the eight captains in the West Garden, the military captain is already a very high official position, but it is still insignificant compared to the position of a general. Somehow, Xun You had an intuition, like a character like Cao Mengde, not a thing in the pool, maybe at that time, He Jin, the great general, was nothing in front of him.
"Cao Mengde is not busy." Xun You said.
"Brother Gongda is not a busy person." Cao Cao turned his head, glanced at Xun You deeply, and continued to add: "Because walking with me, who is not a mediocre person, also proves that Brother Gongda is not a mediocre person." If you are a mediocre person, you should disdain to walk with me at this time. ”
"Not bad, not bad. Hahaha..."Xun Yu laughed loudly.
"If you are mediocre at this time, what is the difference at that time?"
As soon as Xun You's words fell, he saw Cao Cao Huo Ran turn around, and a light suddenly rose, and finally became a long sword in his hand.
"Get out." Cao Cao raised his hand, and the Qingyu Sword pointed at a few pedestrians who had stopped.
"You've followed me all the way, and you're still going to follow?" Cao Cao asked coldly.
Under Cao Cao's gaze, those pedestrians were drenched in cold sweat, and they all turned around and left directly. At this time, many pedestrians on the street looked at Cao Cao with surprised eyes, and pedestrians who noticed something strange in the distance surrounded them.
"You, you... And you—" Cao Cao's sword began to move, pointing at a few pedestrians in the crowd.
"Get out of here! If you follow me again, the Qingyu Sword will not be merciful! ”
Cao Cao's Qingyu sword was pointed at the players who followed from the tea sheds and inns at the entrance of the General's Mansion. After being named by Cao Cao, those players did not hesitate and left one after another. Because Cao Cao belongs to the important category among their targets, and at the same time, he is also the extremely dangerous type of person, who can follow him, and forget if he can't.
"Okay, Brother Gongda, now we can have a good drink." Cao Cao turned around again, put the green sheath into the sheath, and said to Xun You with a smile.
