Three Kingdoms: I switched to Liu Bei, why are you crying, Cao Cao?

Chapter 4 Target Xiaopei, Xun Yu's alert
Cao Ang was sad for a while, but eventually he stopped being sad.

Compared with grief, what is more important now is to save Wancheng from defeat!

After Qin Zhen and Xu Shu left, Cao Ang walked out of the tent and told the guards:

"Be sure to guard the camp tightly and don't let anyone enter this tent!"

The two guards immediately agreed.

In fact, they heard everything that just happened.

But they have no control over the affairs of the big shots and all they can do is obey their orders.

After doing all this, Cao Ang bowed from a distance in the direction where Qin Zhen left and walked towards Yu Jin's military camp.

Qin Zhen and Xu Shu, on the other hand, carried their bags and walked straight out of the camp.

When I reached the camp gate, I saw the guard coming forward and asking:
"Military Advisor, do you want to go out? What's the important matter?"

Seeing this, Qin Zhen raised his head and said:

"I am following the order of my lord and must go to Xudu!"

"Go and pick four fast horses. I will be of use to you!"

"promise!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers hurried into the camp.

The guards on the village also hurriedly opened the gate to allow Qin Zhen and Xu Shu to go out.

Walking all the way to the door, Qin Zhen couldn't help but look back with a complicated expression.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh:
"Sir, are you a little reluctant?"

"If you really don't want to leave, we can stay for two more days!"

Hearing Xu Shu's joke, Qin Zhen glared at him and said:

"You are such a good guy, Xu Yuanzhi. I just took a look at you, why do you feel reluctant to let go?"

"Besides, I have already left the army and my seal has been sent. Please don't call me sir anymore. We are not the master and the servant. Why do you have to embarrass me like this?"

Seeing this, Xu Shu grinned and said:

"So I know Zixuan is free and easy, but that's my fault!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the camp gate and also revealed a look of emotion:
"But I'm not saying this in a sarcastic way!"

"I just feel it's a pity for Zixuan!"

"Although Lord Cao is wary now, with Zixuan's strategy, he will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future!"

"Now you can throw it away just like that, are you really willing to do so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhen shook his head and said:
"Money is something outside of our body. We cannot bring it with us when we are born and we cannot take it with us when we die. So what is the point of having so much of it?"

"The world is in chaos now, people are living in dire straits, and the people are suffering."

"What's the point of me enjoying it alone?"

"A hundred years later, it will only be remembered as 'rich people feasting and drinking, while the poor freeze to death on the streets.'"

"Even if you enjoy a hundred years of happiness, you will only add to your eternal infamy!"

"How wonderful it is that the rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets!"

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes lit up:
"Zixuan's talent is rare in the world, and he can speak eloquently. Who can compare with him?"

"This kind of benevolence is rare in the world. In my opinion, there is only one person in the world who is worthy of your talent and knowledge, Qin Zixuan."

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

Qin Zhen heard this and hurriedly stopped Xu Shu from talking, rolled his eyes and said:

"Xu Yuanzhi, are you going to recommend your Liu Bei Liu Xuande to me again?"

"Now that we are thousands of miles apart, why do you have to focus on such people?"

"If I leave Cao Cao, will there be no one else to turn to except Liu Bei?"

"Don't tell me, that's it!"

Xu Shu smiled brightly and said:

"In my opinion, among all the princes in the world today, apart from Cao Mengde, only Liu Bei has the potential to be a great leader!"

"Today, Qin Zixuan has offended Cao Cao. Apart from Envoy Liu, who else can take you in?"

"Are we going to join Yuan Benchu?"

Listening to Xu Shu's words, Qin Zhen's expression froze.

This is indeed a very real problem.

Now that Cao Cao can no longer tolerate him, it seems that there are really few people in the world who can surrender to him.

Yuan Shao really wanted him to go north, but he really despised Yuan Shao's indecision.

As for Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and others, they have either given up, are about to commit suicide, or have character flaws.

After all, it seems that only Liu Bei is feasible!
But Liu Bei had a fatal flaw, that was he was displaced and achieved success late in life!

There are still eleven years until the Battle of Red Cliffs!
He couldn't possibly have waited for Liu Bei for so many years!

But seeing Xu Shu's confident look, Qin Zhen said with displeasure:

"What if I retire and never come out again?"

When Xu Shu heard this, he laughed as if he had heard a great joke.
"If someone else said this, I might believe it!"

"Only you, Qin Zixuan, said this, but I don't believe it!" "Everyone in the world knows that you, Qin Zixuan, have extraordinary talent. Even if you want to live in seclusion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve your wish!"

"Just wait. After you and I leave today, within a month, the princes of the world will search for you everywhere and will definitely not let you go!"

Qin Zhen was speechless for a moment amid his laughter.

Because what Xu Shu said might really come true.

His current reputation is much greater than when Zhuge Liang came out of seclusion!
Zhuge Liang's reputation before he came out of the mountains was exaggerated, but he is the real deal!

With the reputation of being a genius, he is destined to have no peace no matter where he goes.

Thinking of this, he fell into silence.

After a while, the guards brought the horses over. Xu Shu climbed on the horses and said with a smile:

"Now, where do you want to go, Zixuan?"

"No matter where you go, I will follow you!"

Facing Xu Shu's smile, Qin Zhen was silent for a while and said:
"Let's go to Xiaopei!"

"Oh? What's this, Zixuan?"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

Qin Zhen saw this and sighed:

"Whether it works or not, let's go and see for ourselves!"

Although he was not optimistic about Liu Bei's future, based on the principle of seeking truth from facts, he still decided to go and see Emperor Zhaolie of Han!

After all, novels can deceive people, but posthumous titles cannot.

The fact that Liu Bei was given the posthumous title of "Zhaolie" shows that he had some good qualities.

Isn’t the recognition of many famous people throughout the ages less important than the opinions of a few little black people in later generations?
When Xu Shu heard this, he grinned and said:

“It’s time to go check it out!”

"By the way, has everything been arranged for Zixuan's family?"

Unlike him who is alone with only his old mother, Qin Zhen has a wife and children.

The family is small, so you must first settle it down!
Seeing Xu Shu's concern about this matter, Qin Zhen said:

"Don't worry, I have sent a message to Zhao Ji, asking her to pack up her belongings and take you and my little one away from Xudu on the pretext of visiting her father-in-law's grave!"

"Just go to Xiaopei and send a message to meet her halfway!"

That’s right, his wife was Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, who was also his former junior sister.

Cai Yan had been betrothed to Cai Yong during his lifetime, but due to many reasons, the marriage was never completed.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, Qin Zhen knew that Cai Yong was about to be killed, so he wrote a letter to Cai Yong hoping that Cai Yong would leave Chang'an.

But Cai Yong did not leave, he just sent Cai Yan and her sister Cai Yao over.

The two got married under the auspices of Cao Cao.

It has been six years and they have a daughter.

This is also Qin Zhen’s only concern.

What he feared most was that Lao Cao would find an excuse to put him under house arrest, but it would be fine if he lost his freedom.

If his wife and children were also trapped, it would be his fault.

Seeing that Qin Zhen had arranged everything, Xu Shu said no more and rode his horse towards the road with Qin Zhen.

At the same time, in Cao's camp, a scholar with an elegant appearance was counting the inventory.

This man was called Xun Yu, with the courtesy name Wenruo. He was a great sage under Cao Cao and was praised as a talent who could assist the king.

Originally, Xun Yu seldom followed the army in battle, but this time Xi Zhicai had just passed away, so Cao Cao rarely asked Xun Yu to take the part-time job as the chief clerk of the march, in charge of logistics and supplies.

After checking the inventory, Xun Yu looked at the assistant beside him and said:

"Why didn't I see the military advisor today? Do you know where he went?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant officer hurriedly said:
"In reply to your words, the military advisor has been waiting outside the lord's tent every day these days, but the lord refuses to see him in person."

"I saw the military advisor go again today. I'm afraid he is now outside the lord's tent!"

When Xun Yu heard this, he frowned and said:

"Qin Zixuan has always been very strict in managing his army. Today, when we arrived to look for his camp, we could not find any trace of him. I am afraid he has a grudge against the lord. Let me go and take a look!"

The assistant officer laughed and said:
"Why worry, my lord? My lord and the military advisor have always been like this. Why do you need to go? I will go and take a look!"

"No, what I'm worried about is that the military advisors might resent me!"

Xun Yu shook his head and said solemnly:
"He has great talent and is a disciple of Mr. Cai. Although he is of humble origin, he has a proud character and has made great contributions through hard work."

"How can Qin Zixuan tolerate the cold treatment given by the lord so many times!"

"It's not enough to just watch, we need to calm the resentment in their hearts!"

Having said this, he stopped talking, with nothing else to say.

He knew that Cao Cao was afraid of Qin Zhen now. If he was not appeased, Qin Zhen would probably leave!

As soon as he turned around, he saw a soldier rushing towards him and said:
"Master Xun, just now the military advisor took his luggage, asked for four fast horses, and took Xu Shu out of the camp. Now I don't know where he has gone!"

"What did you say? The military advisor left the camp?"

Xun Yu's eyes suddenly opened wide and his heart skipped a beat.

He felt that something was wrong with Qin Zhen in recent days!
Is he really gone?
