- "Cao Mengde, do you think that in the whole world, only You Heng dares to humiliate you? ”

When this sentence came out of Li Yan's mouth.

Throughout the banquet, the atmosphere was suddenly cold, and the temperature seemed to fall into freezing point overnight.

Whether it is Cao Pi, Sima Yi, or Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu... What came was a look of consternation.

Cao Cao's expression also became complicated, he seemed to have a slight anger, but more of an expectation of Li Cong's next words.

- "Fellow madmen? How different are you from You.'"

On the contrary, it was Li Cong.

With these words, his eyes were also sharp.

On the contrary, there is a bit of deep color in this sharpness.

And the profundity of the letter led him to his memories when he was in Gangneung City, for this moment now, together with Guan Lin, the preparation day and night, and the time when he fought one after another.

At that time, Guan Lin raised a question.

"Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, he is extremely cautious about the people around him, and even the people around his son, whether you 'dedicate' to Cao Pi or 'devote' to Cao Zhi in the future", Cao Cao will definitely test you. ”

"How?" Li Yan hurriedly asked.

Guan Lin's reply was: "Eyes... Cao Cao is a master of the mind attacking technique, and he is a master of the mind hiding technique like my uncle Liu Bei, and when he played face to face with Cao Cao, he was almost spied out."

"Cao Cao's sentence 'The hero of the world, only the king and the ear', this is the change in his eyes when he saw my uncle hear this, and this change in his eyes is enough for Cao Cao to spy on my uncle's truest state of mind, at that time my uncle relied on the 'sound of wind and thunder' to escape this catastrophe, but you may not be as lucky as him."

"What does Yunqi mean?" Li Lian asked Guan Lin rhetorically, "In the face of Cao Cao, I always have to mention the spirit of twelve, because he will test me at any time, on any occasion and under any circumstances, the 'sudden attack' is especially aimed at the eyes!" ”

"That's right, but if you don't have to be mental, it would be too deliberate." Guan Lin solemnly instructed: "You must be prepared at any time, especially your eyes, when you are relaxed, you are suddenly shouted, and it is very likely that the original purpose will leak out through your eyes, so you must pay attention to this..."

It is precisely because of Guan Lin's reminder.

Cao Cao's sudden noise.

This once caused Sima Yi to look back, Cao Cao sighed that Sima Yi was hiding in his eyes to "look at the wolf and look at the wolf", but he couldn't see anything from Li Yi's eyes.

This level is passed.

When he was in Gangneung, Li Cong also followed this topic and threw out a new question.

"Gongzi also said, Cao Cao doesn't like fanatics, if one day, I and You Heng are in the same situation, and he Cao Cao also wants me to change the drummer's clothes and beat the drum? Humiliate me with this, or... Is it the sharpness that kills me? What should I do? ”

It's a tough choice...

It's more like a proposition.

Even Guan Lin has been thinking about this issue for a long time.

Li Lian asked: "I also learned how to beat the drum in Youheng's naked clothes, but it is okay to humiliate him Cao Cao?" ”

"Not good!" Guan Lin hurriedly said: "You are not a widow, are you naked, Cao Cao is not interested!" You Heng's madness is arrogance, it is the fearlessness of the ignorant, and it is the ignorance of being used by others, but you are different, if you want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, this madness must be the madness that Cao Cao can accept... It is the madness that makes Cao Cao fearful, and it is the madness that he Cao Cao can be sure of and can be used by him! ”

"The reason why Cao Cao humiliated You Heng with the robe of the 'drum officer' was because You Heng insulted the entire Yingchuan Shi clan and the entire Yuzhou Shi clan. He had to humiliate Yu Youheng, for Xun Yu, for Zhao Rong, for Sima Lang, and for Chen Qun, this is a matter of posture. ”

"But time has passed, how much Cao Cao relied on the Yingchuan clan and the Yuzhou clan at the beginning, and now how big the backlash of this clan is, you have to follow Cao Cao's wishes... Of course, if you are not sure, you can refute my uncle Liu Bei in exchange for his favor. The most important point... It's you who have to show a position that Cao Cao can see through, and make Cao Cao realize that you support Cao Zhi..."

"As I said before, Cao Cao's life is too full of killing, and he prefers to let a benevolent and loving lord preside over Cao Wei's overall situation, washing away the sins and stains of his life, but Cao Zhi's benevolence, filial piety, and love are there, but he lacks a trace of power and mind, you have to make Cao Cao realize that Cao Zhi uses you as his staff, and he grows in power and mind... As long as you do that, you will always be undefeated! You're safe! ”

At that time, Guan Lin said a lot.

And Li Li also imagines the arrival of this day all the time.

Well prepared for this day.

Now, in the midst of this drum formation, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Cao Cao.

Although this scene seems to others to be horrifying and incredible, it can be seen in Li Xuan... His eyes were incomparably indifferent and calm.

These are the words he has repeated countless times over countless days and nights.

It's all for the sake of today!

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."Li Xuan's arrogant laughter resounded here, "I originally thought that you Cao Mengde was different from that Liu Xuande, that Liu Xuande was a hypocrite, he stole the land of Liu Zhang, who was also a relative of the Han family, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, one on the surface, one behind the back... Hehe, today I see that you Cao Mengde and that Liu Xuande are simply the same dog! ”

"Hahaha, hahahaha... In vain, what kind of "Seeking Talent" did Cao Cao promulgate, saying that 'if only honest people can be appointed, then how can Qi Huan Gong dominate the world?' "What do you say, is there anyone like Jiang Shang who is wearing coarse clothes and harboring true talent to fish on the shore of Weishui today?" 'What do you say, 'And there is no thief who receives money and does not meet the ignorant?' ”

"Hahaha, now it seems that your Cao Mengde is really ridiculous, ridiculous... Are you looking for talent? How many of the virtuous people around you are from the 'Talent Seeking Order'? How many of them are not recommended to each other? ”

"Hahaha, you Cao Mengde opened his mouth and closed his mouth, 'Zhou Gong spit and feed, the world returns to the heart', but even I, a guest living in a foreign country, Li Li, who is in exile here, have to slander more? Humiliate? Cao Mengde, are you still seeking talent? Or how scared are you of those big clans? You said directly, you Wei Wu hegemony set sail, you can't do without the Yingchuan clan, you can't do without the help of the Yuzhou clan? Why bother to learn from Liu Xuande's hypocrite, hypocrisy... What else did you promulgate the "Seeking Order", hahaha... Hahaha..."

Li looked like crazy, and he recited aloud the "Seeking Meritorious Order" that was plastered all over Fancheng:

"——Or unkind and unfilial piety and have the skill of governing the country and using soldiers, so that all counties are recommended and not left behind... Hahaha, hahaha... or unkind and unfilial piety and have the skill of governing the country and using soldiers, don't leave anything behind... Unkind and unfilial? Hahaha... Even a madman can't accept it, how can he talk about being unkind and unfilial? You Cao Mengde can't bypass those big clans, you still honestly rely on Yingchuan and those big clans in Yuzhou... Without them, you Cao Mengde can't move an inch! ”

The rhetoric is sharp, well-reasoned, and... and deafening.

With these words, Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu looked at each other, and their eyes widened.

- "Is this crazy?"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were also so shocked that they couldn't breathe.

They didn't dare to imagine that there were people in this world who were more arrogant than You Heng, the first time they saw Prime Minister Cao, they just... Do you dare to be so-for-tat?

Considering the rumors of the pair of Guan family father and son in Gangneung City.

Could it be that the talents who came out of Gangneung are all like this "the sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid"?

It was Cao Cao, his tiger eyes glaring...

Although Li Cong's words are inseparable from the word "crazy", these words are concise and to the point, directly hitting the weakness of Cao Cao's heart.

Scholars?

What a gentleman!

- "Leaving the Yingchuan and Yuzhou clans? Am I Cao Mengde unable to move an inch?'

- 'Who said that?' Who said that!'

Cao Cao's eyes condensed, and the anger in his heart surged.

But when this anger reached a certain level, it stopped abruptly...

Because, Li Cong's words first revealed Liu Bei's "hypocrisy", and then combined him Cao Cao with Liu Bei, who was hypocritical and righteous, and said that he was a raccoon dog.

This is a strange brain circuit!

Can't make people angry?

If you take it into account, Cao Cao found out that this Li Lian had openly reprimanded Liu Bei at Liu Bei's celebration banquet, and was finally deposed by Liu Bei.

From this point of view, it is understandable that he "hates Liu Bei to the core".

The enemy of the so-called enemy is a friend!

That's why.

Even if Li scolded more violently, Cao Cao was not angry at all, not only was he not angry, but he laughed "haha".

- "This Li Yan's vision is so vicious, and he pointed out my Cao Wei's shortcomings and the constraints of the Yingchuan clan and the Yuzhou clan!" It points out the dispute between the clan and the clan!'

- "So... The person named Zihuan is actually Zijian's person! He is a pawn under Zijianbu! Hit Zihuan's chess pieces?'

- "And the purpose of his anger is to guide Gu, so that Gu will point the finger at those big families, hehe... What a thoughtful mind! Zijian has really grown a lot, this madman is more suitable for Zijian than that Yang Dezu!"

It's already turbulent in my heart...

But Cao Cao was still smiling on the surface, and he laughed extremely abruptly, "Hahaha... What a Li Li? So much did you say? Are you still drumming up this "Yuyang Ginseng"? ”

"What about drums?" Li Cong met Cao Cao's gaze.

The guard on the side reminded: "Sir has not changed the costume of the drummer..."

"Hahaha..."Li laughed, and his posture was about to take off his clothes like that You Heng, and he also wanted to beat the drum with his naked body.

Just when Li Li had just taken off his shirt.

"No!"

But seeing Cao Pi walking quickly, he took off his robe and put it on Li Lian, and then Cao Pi bowed to Cao Cao.

"Father, Mr. Li is a famous man in Shu, the big-eared thief can't tolerate people, but my father is broad-minded, if Mr. Li is allowed to follow your example, then how should the people of the world look at my father? How to see Da Wei? Father's recruitment order has really become an empty talk... If... If the father insists on letting Mr. Li ring "Yuyang Ginseng", then let the child dress naked for Mr. Li! ”

In fact, when Cao Pi went to the drum formation, Cao Zhi also wanted to step forward... was stopped by Yang Xiu.

Cao Zhi saw a lot of deep meaning in Yang Xiu's eyes.

Oh, yes...

It's not child's play, it's a battlefield.

The most important thing on the battlefield is to calm down, if he Cao Zhi stepped forward, then Mr. Li's position would be exposed.

As if Cao Cao was also aware of this.

He glanced at Cao Zhi, he saw Cao Zhi's appearance that he wanted to step forward, and he also saw that he finally closed his eyes, and everything was the same... I also saw Yang Xiu's eyes to Cao Zhi.

Even, he didn't forget to look at Sima Yi again.

He saw a little urgency in Sima Yi's eyes.

Cao Cao understands, this is the new ideas and hopes that the "Nine Grades of Officials Law" has brought to these children of the family!

It seems that Cao Pi is going to use this Li contempt.

It's just that... Hehe!

Cao Cao's laughter suddenly became more meaningful.

He secretly said in his heart:

- "Zihuan, Sima Zhongda, hehe... This time, your opponent is far stronger than you think! When will you wake up?'

- "It's Zijian, this game has made Gu see his growth, whether it is mental or scheming, Zijian has grown a lot!"

Cao Cao sighed at Cao Zhi's growth, but he did not regret Cao Pi's plan...

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's competition for the son of that world was originally promoted by him Cao Cao.

He'd love to see... What can the two sons do on this pinnacle stage?

What he Cao Cao wants to choose is the most "outstanding" son of the world!

Besides...

Is the power of the clan superior?

Or the clan can unite unprecedentedly because of this "Nine Grades Selection Law"...

This game between the clan and the clan, Cao Cao is also looking forward to it.

- "You will fight for Lone, while Lone is not dead!"

- "I want to see Zihuan and Zijian divide the winners and losers!"

- "See also whether the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!"

It seems that because of the appearance of Li Li;

Because of the emergence of the "Nine Grades Selection Law".

Cao Cao realized... One day in the future, there will definitely be a fight between the clan and the clan, and the two sides will definitely fight to the end.

This is an unavoidable part of the historical process.

So... Since this battle is going to come sooner or later.

Cao Cao simply added fuel to the fire, so that this storm would come earlier, while he Cao Cao was alive!

At least for this time...

He Cao Cao is sure that he can stabilize the situation!

"It seems that the sonorous drum sound will not be projected today." Cao Cao turned around and raised his hands, "The banquet begins—"

And with Cao Cao's words.

Cao Zhi, Cao Pi, Yang Xiu, and Sima Yi all had long gasps.

I am glad for myself and for Li Cong.

On the other hand, Li Cong, he was especially arrogant, swaggering in the banquet, drinking heavily and composing poems at the same time.

- "I see how charming Qingshan is, I think Qingshan should be like this when he sees me, I don't hate the ancients, I don't see them, I hate the ancients, I don't see my crazy ears... My crazy ears! ”

It seems that Li is complacent about today's behavior.

While Cao Cao was drinking, he didn't forget to look at the faces of the beings at the banquet, and he beckoned Xu Chu to come to his side.

"Prime Minister..."

Cao Cao whispered, "You tell Zihuan that he recruited Li Cong as a subordinate of Peng, and he was allowed to give him as a counselor and a staff member of Zihuan!" ”

"No!" Xu Chu promised to inform Cao Pi.

"Wait!" Cao Cao thought of something again, and he didn't forget to add: "You led the Tiger Ben Army to capture that Yang Dezu immediately... His case, let Li contempt the trial! ”

Xu Chu was slightly stunned, as if he would soon understand, and hurriedly went to arrange.

Not much...

With a "bang", Yang Xiu, who was originally drinking, was pressed down on the desk, and Sergeant Hu Ben's voice came out coldly: "Yang Dezu forged the prime minister's handwritten letter, mobilized Runan soldiers and horses without permission, and immediately sent him to prison for interrogation!" ”

Meanwhile.

Xu Chu quietly walked to the middle of Cao Pi and Sima Yi's seats, and whispered to them.

"The prime minister allowed the five senses Zhonglang to recruit Li Cong as Peng's subordinate, and gave Li Cong as a counselor and a staff member of Zihuan's son... In addition, the prime minister instructed Yang Xiu to privately transfer the case of Runan soldiers, and Li Cong came to try it! ”

This...

As Xu Chu's words came out, as Yang Xiu was dragged out of the banquet, Cao Pi and Sima Yi looked at each other...

The expression is complicated.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard Cao Cao's roar on the main seat: "Everyone... Ready to eat? ”

All the officials shouted in unison: "Prime Minister Xie Cheng gave a banquet." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand quite arrogantly, "Since you are full of wine and food, then you might as well listen to Gu and tell two more interesting things, which are the two words of advice from Gu's two sons to Gu, you have the right to have fun, talk about it at this banquet, talk about it casually!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao clapped his hands.

Suddenly, a group of servants presented two bamboo slips to each official.

Everyone really saw it, and one of them was - "Nine Grades of Officials Law"!

Many officials know that this is Cao Pi's gift to the prime minister, Cao Wei's brand-new method of selecting officials.

The other one, many people are seeing it for the first time.

- "The Widow Rewarded the Military Household"...

And with the "uproar", gradually unfolded, Cao Cao's voice came out one after another, "Look, everyone look, today's banquet, everyone speaks freely, talk about these two bamboo slips, which is better or worse?" ”

This...

Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, they tacitly agreed.

Where are the two bamboo slips, which is better or worse.

This is clearly because Cao Gong asked them and the officials to stand in line, and they chose the two sons of Zihuan and Zijian, which is better or worse.

At this moment, the most nervous person was Cao Zhi, Yang Xiu beside him had just been dragged away, and for a while, he was a little ownerless.

But inadvertently, he saw Li Li, who was drinking not far away, and tried to gesture towards him.

Let him calm down...

Calm down completely.

And with Li Cong's gesture, inexplicably, Cao Zhi's heart really calmed down a lot!

Like... It seems that after Yang Dezu, he found hope to continue fighting.

…

…

Jiaozhou, the junction of Yulin and Cangwu County, Lujiajun military village.

When he arrived in Cangwu County, he saw Lu Meng, and then he and Lu Meng, the two of them rushed to the military village of the Lu family army.

The curtain opened, and Lu Meng and Bu Qi walked down together.

Because Bu Qi was an envoy sent by Sun Quan, Lu Meng looked very respectful and wanted to introduce the situation to Bu Qi.

Bu Qi said: "Since the fifteenth year of Jian'an, I have been named the assassin of Jiaozhou by Wu Hou, staying in the mountains of Jiaozhou, what is the situation in Jiaozhou, I know ten times better than Ziming!" ”

Speaking of this, Bu Qi looked at the camp of the Lu family army faintly, "Ziming, I dare to bet with you, as long as Lu Boyan gives an order, even if he attacks Yulin now, before it gets dark tomorrow, the city will fall!" ”

This...

Lu Meng didn't know how to say it for a while.

"Hehe..."Bu Qi smiled, with a little coldness in his laughter, "This Jiaozhou can't be attacked, it's not that the Lu family army is not brave enough, it's not that the enemy in Jiaozhou is too strong, there is only one possibility..."

"What?" Lu Meng hurriedly asked.

"Some people are double-faced, and some people don't want to take down this Jiaozhou."

With Bu Qi's words, Lu Meng's heart "chuckled".

He knew too well that in Jiangdong, Buqi was an existence that was transcendent from the Huaisi faction and the Jiangdong faction.

He's a relative... His clan sister step trainer is the most favored, not to mention the two daughters of "Big Tiger" and "Little Tiger", and she is the adoptive mother of Sun Deng, who is almost a certainty...

Under such an identity, in Jiaozhou... Buqi's words are almost equivalent to Sun Quan's words.

He said that someone stabbed him twice, that... Something is going to happen.

"Ahem..."

Lu Meng coughed lightly.

Bu Qi smiled, "Ziming doesn't need to be nervous, it's not you who is two-faced and three-stabbed..."

As he spoke, he walked quickly in the direction of the Chinese army.

When Bu Qi entered the door, Lu Xun was writing, he saw that Bu Qi and Lu Meng were the same, and he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly put down his pen and asked: "I never thought that the two generals came... Why don't you send someone to spread the word in advance? ”

"Who can move you 'Lu Shenjun'?" Buqi's words were a little meaningful.

Lu Xun's heart chuckled, and he said secretly.

- "I'm afraid it's not good!"

Bu Qi picked up the cloth silk on the desk, and while he was staring at his eyebrows, he chanted the words written by Lu Xun.

"Full of losses, humble benefits-"

"Hehe, Lu Boyan went out to fight with his wife, and it would have made Wu Hou's jaw drop, if Wu Hou learned again, the reason why Bo Yan did not send troops for a long time was to shrink in this camp tent to practice calligraphy, I don't know how Wu Hou would feel!"

Speaking of this, Bu Qi looked at Lu Xun's words again.

"——Full of losses, humble benefits, Bo Yan wrote six good words! But what Wu Hou is looking forward to is not this, what Wu Hou is looking forward to is 'living from the grandson, and the death of the soldier!' ’”

That's what Buqi said.

But to Lu Xun's ears, it seemed to be telling him - from the grandson to life, from the land to die!

…
