Inside the Governor's House.

Huo Qingtong, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Xu Shu had solemn faces, they didn't expect that someone would dare to risk the world's greatness and claim the emperor.

This person who called the emperor is Yuan Shu, called the emperor in Shouchun, occupies the land of Jianghuai, the six counties of Yangzhou are almost all in the hands of Yuan Shu, and the three counties of Peiguo, Chen Guo and Runan in Yuzhou, Guangling and Xiapi in Xuzhou also have the power of Yuan Shu, occupying the richest grain-producing areas in the country, and it can be said that Yuan Shu at this time is the most powerful prince in the world.

Huo Qingtong knew the direction of the Three Kingdoms and was not surprised, but Guo Jia and Jia Xu were very surprised, after all, due to Xiao Yun's arrival, the jade seal of the country did not fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, and it stands to reason that Yuan Shu is not a reckless person, how could he do such a thing?

They didn't know that the real Yuan Shu was dead, and now Yuan Shu was transformed by the Akajiri Horse Monkey, as an ancient demon, the Akajiri Horse Monkey is extremely hateful to humans, and he wishes that the more chaotic the human race, the better!

"Second brother, if the heroes are angry today, they all denounce Yuan Shu, what do you think we need to do?" Huo Qingtong looked at the second brother Guo Jia and asked.

"Naturally, we also voiced our condemnation, as for the real dispatch of troops to attack Yuan Shu, then there is no need! After all, we are too far away from Yangzhou. Guo Jia smiled slightly.

"Yes, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the most anxious ones should be Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao in Xuzhou, which has little to do with us. Xu Shu also said slowly.

After all, Jingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou are next to Yangzhou, and after Yuan Shu becomes emperor, he will definitely expand his territory, these three states are his best goals, as for Yuan Shao, although he and Yuan Shu are his own brothers, but now the two are ambitious, they both want to dominate the world, and the brotherhood has long been gone!

Moreover, after Yuan Shao took Luoyang, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, and the hundred officials also fell into his hands, and he was preparing to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes under the advice of the strategist Tian Feng! Now Yuan Shu openly proclaimed himself emperor, but it was not a challenge to him!

"Okay, then let's wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity!" Huo Qingtong said to Guo Jia and the others.

At this time, Dian Wei walked in with a letter, saying that it was sent by Cao Cao in person, Huo Qingtong and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled, probably guessing what the content was!

Huo Qingtong opened the letter, and after reading the contents, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to a few people:

"Cao Cao wants us to send troops, not only is he willing to provide all the grain and grass, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou will also give way to let our army unimpeded!"

"He thinks it's beautiful, don't pay attention to him!" Guo Jia said lightly.

"I guess Cao Cao must have other rewards, and he must also know that we can't send troops to help him with these alone!" Jia Xu said leisurely at this time.

"Yes, Cao Cao said in the letter that this Yuan Shu is very wrong, the martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, and the masters he sent to investigate the situation of Yuan Shu have all gone and never returned! He suspects that something may have happened to Yuan Shu!" Huo Qingtong said to a few people seriously.

"Oh, it seems that this Cao Cao should have discovered something! Let's wait quietly, if Cao Cao wants to persuade us to help, he must come up with enough benefits, I guess he has already sent an envoy on the way!" Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"Yes, let's wait for the news, it just so happens that Xiao Yun's retreat hasn't come out yet, I feel that if I really need to go to help this time, I still need Xiao Yun to go in person!" Guo Jia said with a solemn face.

Sure enough, three days later, the mission sent by Cao Cao finally arrived, and the person in charge turned out to be Huo Qingtong's righteous brother Xi Zhicai.

In a pavilion in the backyard of the State Pastoral Mansion, Huo Qingtong, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai sat quietly, and the atmosphere was very dull.

Xi Zhicai looked at the silent two, and there was a trace of guilt in his heart, when Huo Qingtong came to Yingzhou Academy, he hit it off with the two of them at first sight, talked about the world without any scruples, and even commented on Qin Shi Huang, which made him and Guo Jia suddenly brightened, and admired very much, and finally the three of them married Jin Lan.

Now that a few years have passed, he has not come to Bingzhou to visit his third sister Huo Qingtong, but has taken refuge in Cao Cao and has become Cao Cao's first strategist, but Guo Jia has been helping Huo Qingtong all these years, how can this make Xi Zhicai not feel guilty?

"Third sister, I've made you suffer in the past few years, and I've also heard about the big things that have happened in Bingzhou in the past few years, it's the eldest brother who can't stand you, and I haven't come to visit you all these years!"

"I remember that the eldest brother didn't say that he was going to travel the world back then, why did he suddenly choose Cao Cao!" Guo Jia looked at Xi Zhicai and asked slowly.

He hoped that Xi Zhicai would come to Bingzhou with him, but Xi Zhicai said that he would travel around and then come to Bingzhou, but he didn't expect him to join Cao Cao this time!

"Hey, not long after Fengxiao left, Cao Cao took the initiative to come to the door and talked to me about his ambitions and ideals, I was moved by his lofty ambitions, and my brain was hot at that time, so I agreed to assist him!"

"Big brother, I have also heard of this Cao Cao, it is said that this person can speak well, he is a complete hero, even Xiao Yun attaches great importance to this person, this can't be blamed on you!" Huo Qingtong smiled slightly.

She said that she didn't care, but she was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she knew the history well, but she knew that Cao Cao was powerful, and she was definitely Xiao Yun's strongest competitor in the future, and now the eldest brother Xi Zhi assisted Cao Cao, in the future, they will inevitably have to be their own masters, and they will have to compete with each other, how can this not make Huo Qingtong's heart ache?

My lord has great ambitions, is open-minded, talented, and good at poetry, and I believe that he will be able to dominate the world and build a new empire. Xi Zhicai thought for a moment and said leisurely.

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Huo Qingtong's expression darkened, she knew that her eldest brother Xi Zhicai had completely fallen in love with Cao Cao!

Guo Jia saw that Huo Qingtong's expression was wrong, so he couldn't guess her mood, so he hurriedly looked at Xi Zhicai and asked:

"Big brother, we have all read Cao Cao's letter, you seem to know more about Yuan Shu's situation, but there is no need to elaborate in the letter, I think you are probably here mainly for this matter!"

"It's pretty much the same, in fact, the most important thing for me this time is to come to see you and the third sister!" said Xi Zhicai with a smile.

"You can pull it down! Say, if it doesn't arouse our interest, we won't help!" Guo Jia said angrily.

He is extremely familiar with Xi Zhicai, and now that he has taken refuge in Cao Cao, there is nothing important, how can he come to join the state!

"Okay, after our repeated investigations, we found that Yuan Shu is no longer the original Yuan Shu, he seems to have been possessed or taken away by an ancient demon! This ancient demon has trained a particularly powerful dead soldier, and his combat power is particularly against the sky, and he has gathered a lot of demon beasts to form an army, so today's Yuan Shu is far from being something that any of us can compete with!"

These are all situations that they have sacrificed countless secret guards to detect, and even the creator of the Sevenfold Thunder Tribulation Realm is not Yuan Shu's opponent, of course, these dramas will not tell Guo Jia and Huo Qingtong.

The reason why Cao Cao wanted to pull Xiao Yun was that he thought that Xiao Yun had the ancient artifact Xuanyuan Sword, and Xiao Yun's strength was not weak, and he had a lot of treasures in his hands, which could restrain Yuan Shu.
