Chapter 461: New Year's Eve
The end of the year is approaching, and the world is peaceful again, but all the people know that this is just an illusion.
All the people at the border are so frightened that they have forgotten how to spend the New Year's Festival.
Especially in the three prefectures of Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou, as long as they bordered Cao Cao's forces, they all began to move.
No matter how the local officials appeased them, because they didn't want to die, once the year passed, Cao Cao would definitely raise an army to attack it, and the border land was a war enclave.
If you want to avoid the flames of war, you can only stay away from your hometown, and only some people who value your hometown very much will not leave.
The city, which was originally full of people, was suddenly lonely and silent, which made all the players unhappy.
In the event of a battle, these cities are the best supply points.
Although there will be no lack of supplies due to the lack of people, it will be unpleasant without the atmosphere of the New Year.
In this regard, as long as you go to the city in the center of the state and county, it is still prosperous, if not better than before.
In the city of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, the flow of people is moving, and people passing by must queue up when they pass through the city wall, and the long queue makes the people wait anxiously.
This is to guard against Cao Cao's spies, and some extremely vicious people, the figures of the players appear from time to time, the players who accept the task are desperately looking for the enemy, and some of the ones who do not receive it are deliberately making trouble, anyway, I can't receive the task, so I won't let you complete it.
The princes haven't fought yet, and the players will fight first.
Outside the city, the three armies began to look at each other, and the managers of the army all came to the front and began to curse and play with the art of language.
"Haha, isn't this the Dog's Egg Army, why are so many people here today, are they here to eat that?"
A legion leader suddenly shouted loudly, his voice coming far away, probably using sound reinforcement props or skills.
In the face of his shouting, the opponent was not to be outdone, and immediately responded.
"Oh, isn't this a cat urine legion, how to come here conveniently, it's really not ashamed."
If you say anything to me, you just don't open it up.
Let the players watching from afar start heckling, urging them to hurry up and go to war, and their popcorn is ready.
On the city wall, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at the excitement outside, and different expressions appeared on their faces.
Guan Yu's face was cold, as if there were sinners in front of him, and he needed to be wiped out to vent his anger.
As for Zhang Fei, he was smiling, watching the players' battles with a smile, and even applauding loudly, only the cold light in his eyes showed that he was not in a good mood.
"Third brother, don't be too loud, you'll kill the stranger." After a long time, Guan Yu sighed and said to Zhang Fei.
Hearing Guan Yu's words, the smile on Zhang Fei's face was put away and he muttered.
"It's not fun, why don't you start a war yet, once you start fighting, I'll kill them all."
That's right, Zhang Fei is waiting for them to fight, Liu Bei has been in a bad mood these days, and he is not even happy with them, even if they are already red-grade generals, unhappy is unhappy.
Because Sun Quan also has people who have been promoted, one of them is the old opponent Gan Ning, and the other is Tai Shici, this time Sun Quan's strength is even higher than Liu Bei.
Not only is it equal in terms of generals, but it is far more than it is in terms of strategists, and Zhou Yu alone can easily suppress Xu Shu.
If Xu Shu wants to advance, it will take at least another year, but one year is enough to change everything.
The two who are in an unhappy mood take the initiative to come out to find fun, and the player is the source of their fun, as long as someone makes trouble, no matter who is right or wrong, kill it.
Not to mention, in the past few days, they have killed millions of Inhumans, and the strength of the two has increased significantly, and they hope that Inhumans will make more trouble, if their strength increases greatly, they can't let go of this opportunity.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't kill people indiscriminately, the two would have done it a long time ago and killed all the strangers.
No, it's to kill it over and over again, anyway, Inhumans can be resurrected indefinitely, it's the best experience extractor, and there's still no danger.
"Third brother, have you forgotten the teachings of the eldest brother yesterday? Don't let the Inhumans misunderstand us for the time being. This time, if someone does it, just kill them, and don't kill the other onlookers. After pondering for a while, Guan Yu said lightly.
Zhang Fei didn't answer this time, just nodded and continued to watch.
At the same time, far away on the other side of the city wall, Gan Ning and Tai Shici did the same, standing on the city wall, watching the situation outside, and once they found a fight, they immediately stopped it.
The two of them are not like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who kill at every turn, but persuade them first, if they don't stop killing again, they will give people the feeling that they are the righteous side, and even if they are killed, they will not have any complaints.
It's just that this kind of action doesn't play a role.,Players don't care about you or anything.,As long as you see that you're unhappy.,Greet people first.,Wait until there are more people.,Start a war.。
In the city lord's mansion, Liu Bei and Sun Quan sat together, drinking wine and chatting about some interesting things.
Behind them, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu sat respectively, fighting secretly in the exchange of eyes.
Xiangyang City seems to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and countless local forces in Jingzhou have begun to act, some have contacted Cao Cao's forces, some have begun to recruit troops, and some are in the wait-and-see stage.
……
In Luoyang City, Cao Cao stood on top of the high hall, watching the drills of the army below, beside him, all the ministers loyal to him sat in turn, and in front of them were full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies.
Watching the drill below, shouting loudly while eating.
"Haha, such an army is the army of the lord, not the army of the emperor, why don't you say that there is such an army, who dares to disobey." As soon as Xiahoudun's fiery temper came up, no one was convinced, and only Cao Cao could suppress it.
Even his brother Xiahou Yuan couldn't do it, I saw Xiahou Yuan hurriedly stand up, pick up the kettle next to him, and splash it.
At that time, Xiahou was angry, looked at his brother, took out his weapon, jumped out of the hall, and yelled to fight him.
In the face of challenges, how could Xiahou Yuan back down, he took out his weapons at that time and started fighting.
The battle between the two made the drill below stop instantly, and watching the battle of the two generals, they applauded in unison.
hit the wonderful place, and the shouting shook the sky.
On the top of the hall, Cao Cao smiled at this, didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and asked the maids to quickly clean up the tables and chairs, which were accidentally broken by the two of them.
By Cao Cao's side, Guo Jia held a delicate wine jug, drank the wine in every sip, and looked at the patterns on the wine jug from time to time.
is different from the Han style carving, but Guo Jia can't put it down, and he will take it out and watch it whenever he has time.
"Fengxiao is really chic, I can't learn it." Cheng Yu glanced at it, and a smile almost overflowed from his face.
He was already a red grade, but he was very happy, but he didn't expect that on Cao Cao's side, the second top strategist turned out to be him, and he was even more loyal to Cao Cao.
"Zhongde is too bad, he has a treasure rewarded by the lord, and he actually hides it at home, if I go to Zhongde's house next time, I will definitely steal it, haha......" Guo Jia said and laughed.
Listening to Guo Jia's words, the smile on Cheng Yu's face paused.
Because Guo Jiake is really that kind of person, he is cynical, he is very happy about it, and his jokes with them are true and false, and the next time he goes to his own house, he will lose something.
"Oh, that Fengxiao should not come to my house, or go to Wen Ruo's house, he has a lot of treasures in his house." Cheng Yu hurriedly changed the topic and asked Xun Yu to attract Guo Jia's attention.
Xun Yu behind Cheng Yu heard this, noncommittal, although he was released by Cao Cao, but there was a gap between the two, and he was no longer a celebrity around Cao Cao, so it was better not to speak at this time.
Cao Cao heard the jokes of the strategists clearly, and he had an idea in his heart about Xun Yu's silence.
"Oh, guys, guess that although the two generals below can win, those who guess correctly will be rewarded, so let's take it as a gift before the New Year." Cao Cao shouted.
attracted everyone's attention, and when they heard Cao Cao's words, they were all gearing up, especially Cao Cao's children.
Now Cao Cao is thirty-nine years old, about to forty, and his sons have grown up, and some even fight in the army.
Among them, there are three most outstanding, namely Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhang, and the three are currently the oldest and most valued sons of Cao Cao.
"Haha, my father is from Yaxing, then I choose Uncle Miaocai, he will definitely win." Cao Ang was the first to speak.
His opening heralded another rivalry among the many heirs.
When the other ministers saw this, they all shut up, they didn't dare to interject casually, in case they were hated by Cao Cao's sons, but it was not good.
"Oh, since the eldest brother chooses Uncle Miaocai, then I will choose Uncle Yuan." Cao Zhang didn't dare to show weakness and said.
Once they are together, they will have to distinguish the winner and loser. Whether it is martial arts or literary talent, this is the case.
Only Cao Pi was silent and didn't speak, but they wouldn't let go of this younger brother.
"Oh, second brother, who do you choose?" Cao Ang suddenly asked.
This time, Cao Zhang also shut up and looked at their third brother.
Unlike them, Cao Pi seems to be very weak and hesitant in some things, but he is deeply liked by Cao Cao and says that he is like his childhood self.
As for Cao Ang and Cao Zhang, they were themselves when they were young, but this time made the two unhappy, every time they saw each other unhappy, they had to find Cao Pi to be the referee, which made Cao Pi very embarrassed.
"This, that, the two uncles are very strong, it should be a tie." After a long time, Cao Pi spoke.
Hearing Cao Pi's words, the two laughed, but they didn't pay much attention to Cao Pi and continued to look at each other angrily.
Only Guo Jia glanced at Cao Pi, and an alternative look appeared in his eyes, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Bong-hyo looks at how my sons are, who can be my heir." Suddenly, Cao Cao spoke.
In an instant, the entire hall was silent, this was the first time Cao Cao had discussed such a topic.
Countless people's cold sweat began to flow, because once the heir was determined, their previous actions would come to naught, and once the sons of each party supported lost power, most of them would do the same.
"Lord, now that the New Year is approaching, let's not discuss this issue, and wait until the New Year." Guo Jia didn't answer directly, prevaricated for a while, and continued to drink and watch the battle between the two Xiahou below.
Faced with Guo Jia's evasion, Cao Cao shook his head and continued to watch.
It's just that everyone in the hall has different mentalities, and they all want to wait until the time comes to find Guo Jia and ask him to support the prince in their hearts, so as to increase the chances of success for the princes.
