After a long time, Cao Cao's expression gradually eased, but his face changed to a calm look.

This peerless hero, once he encounters something incomprehensible, he will become extremely calm and stable.

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Cheng Yu: "Help this official draft a post, and this official wants to invite General Hao to come to the mansion to drink and talk." ”

......

Sikong House, at the door.

At the entrance of the street, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the soldiers of the Cao army, who were full of guns and halberds, gave way one after another.

"Greetings to General Hao!"

In the neat shouts on both sides, Haobai rode a BMW, escorted by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei and a cadre of soldiers, and went straight to Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion.

At the gate, there were two rows of Cao Ying soldiers with distinct armor, and I saw a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes rushing out and facing Haobai: "Sikong has been waiting for General Hao for a long time, please come in for a while." ”

The person who came was Cheng Yu.

Haobai motioned for everyone to wait outside, led Zhao Yun and Dian Wei into the Sikong Mansion, and came all the way to the inside, until a small pavilion, the soldiers waiting outside said respectfully: "Sikong is waiting for General Hao inside, please wait for the two generals outside." ”

Looking up, I saw that Cao Cao was the only one in the pavilion, and he had already gotten up to meet him, and immediately no longer hesitated, and strode into the house.

Cao Cao wore a gold crown with jewels and jade beads, looking radiant, laughing and greeting Haobai, and said, "Brother Haobai is finally here, Cao has been waiting for a long time." ”

Hao Bai nodded, and sat down opposite the desk in the middle, and Cao Cao also sat down opposite Hao Bai.

Next to the desk, on top of a stove, there was a copper basin, the hot water in the copper basin was boiling, and a wine jug was placed in the center.

Cao Cao lifted the wine jug, poured wine for the two of them, and pointed to a few dishes on the table, and said, "These are all famous dishes, you can try them first." ”

Hao Bai smiled slightly, raised the wine bottle and said to Cao Cao: "Please!"

Cao Cao: "Please!"

After speaking, the two of them raised the wine bottle and drank it all.

A smile appeared at the corner of Haobai's mouth, and he said: "Brother Meng De treats you warmly today, why don't you invite me to cook wine and talk about heroes!"

Cao Cao looked overjoyed, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Exactly, I don't know if Brother Hao knows who is the hero in the world!"

Haobai looked at Cao Cao, and then said with a smile: "Shouchun Yuan Shu, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, but he can't see the situation clearly, and he forcibly proclaims himself the emperor, and he has been dry bones in the tomb." Yuan Shao of Jizhou, the third prince of the fourth world, many old officials, good generals under his command are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, but it is a pity that there is no plan.

"Jiangdong Sun Jian and Xuzhou Lu Bu are all brave and unscrupulous. and that Liu Bei, although he is the emperor's uncle, has the name of benevolence and righteousness, but in fact he deceives the world and steals his name. As for the rest, they are all mediocre villains, so why bother!"

The more Cao Cao listened, the more shocked he became, it was obvious that Haobai's words had completely reached the bottom of his heart, no, he simply said everything he was going to say, according to later generations, he was obviously robbing his lines.

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and he asked urgently: "In this case, dare to ask Brother Hao, who can be a hero in this world!"

Haobai showed a smile on his face, lifted the wine jug and poured a bottle of wine, and after drinking it all, he said slowly: "The husband is a hero, with great ambitions, good intentions, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, dare to ask Brother Meng De, who can be the hero of the world!"

Cao Cao laughed, raised the bottle and drank it all: "Happy, Brother Hao is really happy, the hero of the world, but Brother Hao and Cao Er, who else can do this!"

Syllable!

Haobai shook the wine bottle on the case, pointed at Cao Cao, and said: "No! You are not a hero, you Cao Mengde is at best a hero, and you dare to be called a hero with me!"

Poor Cao Cao, not only guessed the wrong process, but also guessed the wrong ending, looked at Hao Bai in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Brother Hao's actions are eclectic and unexpected, but what is the explanation in Xiao Xiongzhi." ”

Haobai said in a deep voice: "It's just that you bully the Son of Heaven, you fight with Lu Bu, kill the people to bleed and drift, and dare to be called a hero!"

Cao Cao's face was blue and white for a while, and he smiled for a long time: "Heroism, this is the end, please ask Brother Hao to come here today, but there is another important matter to discuss." ”

Haobai glanced at Cao Cao and continued to drink, waiting for his next step.

Cao Cao looked at Haobai tightly, and said slowly: "Heroes, heroes, if it is undecided today, the heroes rise together, if it is not peaceful, I don't know how many people are called emperors, how many people are called kings, so Cao discussed with Brother Hao today and made a covenant, if someone is called the emperor, you and I will jointly send troops to attack it, it is the kind of covenant that can be borrowed from each other's territory, I don't know if Brother Hao is willing to agree!"

Haobai narrowed his eyes, and after a little thought in his heart, he understood, looked at Cao Cao and said, "Borrow! Is Yuan Shao going to be the emperor?"

Cao Cao's face changed slightly, but he didn't expect Hao Bai to have thought that Yuan Shao, who occupies the four northern states today, is the most powerful.

When Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor before, Yuan Shao did not move, obviously waiting.

From this, Yuan Shao also found a problem, that is, only the princes around Yuan Shu went to attack Yuan Shu, and if the other princes wanted to crusade against Yuan Shu, they could only use the road, which was obviously absolutely impossible.

But the problem is that there is only one Cao Cao around Yuan Shao, which itself is located in the northernmost part, and the only princes bordering it are Cao Cao.

Of course, there is also a Qingzhou bordering him, but Qingzhou is not a force, it is already a mess, even if he wants to be the emperor, he only needs to face one Cao Cao, that is to say, whether he wants to be the emperor or not, his first opponent is Cao Cao, and there is only Cao Cao for the time being.

And now Cao Cao obviously got the news, so he hurriedly wanted to form an alliance with Haobai.

In fact, I am afraid that the only one who can form an alliance with him is Haobai, and the other princes are not realistic at all, even if the other princes want to help him deal with Yuan Shao, then they must first pass through other people's territory, and then through his Cao Cao's territory, so it is impossible to do it at all.

And Lu Bu obviously won't help him, both of them have been at war, and it's okay if they don't hold him back.

And Haobai behaved very peacefully, although Haobai now occupies an enlarged version of Jingzhou, but he has never taken the initiative to attack other princes, he basically only put the army to the border, and those small forces surrendered easily.

Cao Cao looked at Haobai and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Hao, Cao did get the news, Yuan Shao has the intention of becoming the emperor, and is already preparing, if the son is here today, it is a big trouble, they all say that I coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but in fact I am also difficult!"

"Now the people who are loyal to the Han family are all in this Xu Capital, before Yuan Shu was called the emperor, Cao had to send troops to fight, if Yuan Shao was also called the emperor, whether I want to or not, I must have to go to the army, and now only Brother Hao can help me. ”
