Unparalleled Huaxiong of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398
Cao Cao looked at the military situation of Jizhou in his hand, and laughed when he looked at himself.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao curiously, Xun Yu asked aloud, "Master, why are you laughing?"

Cao Cao laughed and said:

"Don't you gentlemen feel that the world is impermanent? That day when the Hulao was shut down and the Eighteenth Route met after the alliance, who would have thought that in less than a year, Dong Zhuo, who made the world's princes raise troops to crusade, died. A military general, Lu Bu, became the general of the Han family outside the Great Wall, and Hua Xiong, who was only a school lieutenant under Dong Zhuo's command, has actually grasped the greatest authority in the world."

"My lords, the sea has changed."

Cao Hong in the next song heard Cao Cao's emotion and muttered, "My lord is really very elegant, why don't you write a poem?"

Cao Hong's muttering made the originally frozen atmosphere in the meeting room much easier, and everyone smiled.

Cao Cao turned to Cao Hong and asked, "Zi Lian, I think you seem to be preoccupied? What's the matter? Did something bad happen today?"

When Cao Cao asked this question, everyone was immediately puzzled. Isn't this terrible thing obvious?The enemy at the door of the house couldn't beat them, and the enemy's army was about to kill them. For a while, everyone suspected that Mr. Cao in front of him was a fake, right?
Cao Cao looked at the eyes of the people looking at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, gentlemen. In fact, when Xiao Xiao and Zi Lian came back from Jizhou intact, I already guessed what the general Hua Xiong meant."

Cao Ren lowered his head slightly, and Cao Hong asked, "Master, what does he mean?"

Cao Cao put the Jizhou Military News on the table in front of him, and said:
"He captured Zixiao, Zilian, and Zhongde, but kept Zhongde behind, and let Zixiao and Zilian return, but he didn't take Zhongde's life. Let me know what Hua Xiong meant. If I Yes, I can be his Cheng Yu or his Cao Ren, but the only thing I can't do is neither his Cheng Yu nor his Cao Ren."

Xun Yu nodded after hearing this, and Guo Jia showed a bit of shame on his rare face. At this time, Guo Jia cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "My lord, Jia is incompetent, and I can't share my worries."

"Hey?! What is Feng Xiao talking about? From my point of view, this world probably belongs to Hua Xiong!"

This is when Cao Hong looked at everyone and said everything you said and I said, and he was still in a daze. He asked Cao Cao: "My lord, what did you mean just now that Cao Ren could not be his Cheng Yu? what?"

"Hahahaha!"

Cao Cao and a group of civil servants laughed loudly, and Guo Jia explained to Cao Hong with a wry smile:

"General Zilian, when Hua Xiong detained Zhong De and let you and General Zixiao come back, the meaning was to tell the lord that the lord can only choose one side between civil and military. There is a way to survive in surrender, and you can still maintain a certain position, but "

"It's just that you can only be a civil servant or a general. You can either govern a party or command an army. You can no longer be the master of other people."

This was said by Xun Yu, and Xun Yu's voice was extremely cold.

Cao Cao heard the dissatisfaction in Xun Yu's words, he turned his head to look at Xun Yu first, and said humbly, "Wen Ruo, I can't help you."

Xun Yu raised his hand and said, "My lord, you don't have to be like this. Is Xun Yu the one who doesn't know the general trend? I just sigh, this big man, I'm afraid"

Cao Cao got up and came to Xun Yu. He patted Xun Yu's shoulder feebly. After a while, Xun Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said to Cao Cao:

"Master, please allow Xun Yu to make one last effort for this big man."

Cao Cao nodded without thinking, "Okay, I invited you to my side in the name of a big man, but now I can't achieve your ambition. If you have an idea, I will naturally support you."

Xun Yu got up, walked in front of Cao Cao, and made a long bow to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, if you fail to succeed, I will follow Yuan Shao's example."

Xun Yu lowered his head and said, "My lord, no matter if the text is successful or not, for the sake of the future of the lord's family and colleagues, the lord should follow Yuan Shao's example."

Cao Cao was silent, just nodded.

Afterwards, Xun Yu turned around and said he wanted to leave. After Xun Yu left, Guo Jia asked Cao Cao, "Master, is Wen Ruo going to Chang'an?"

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu's back as he left, and said with some regret, "Yes, Xun Yu's name was on Hua Xiong's list of choosing the emperor's teacher for the emperor."

Guo Jia couldn't bear it, and said to Cao Cao: "My lord, this is a road of eternal doom. The general trend of the world is like this. Jia can probably guess what Wen Ruo is going to do in Chang'an, but this will not help the general trend of the world!"

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Feng Xiao, if Wen Ruo is different from you and me, you and I are both doers, but if Wen Ruo is different, if Wen Ruo is an ideal person, he will go to his heart even if it is a moth to the flame." .”

Except for Guo Jia and Chen Qun, the others were still confused.

Huainan, Liu Bei's barracks.

Since Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shu that day, Yuan Shu gave Liu Bei 2 horses. Together with the original 1 horses in Liu Bei's hands, the total is 3 horses. The task Yuan Shu gave Liu Bei was to take Lujiang.

At this time, Lujiang was in the hands of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei's army had just passed Huainan and set up camp when he received the news of Yuan Shao's surrender in Jizhou, Hebei.

At this time, Liu Bei was sighing and sighing in his handsome tent. Zhang Fei was furious when he saw Liu Bei like this. He stepped forward and said to Liu Bei:

"Brother, what are you doing? Why does the man sigh so much every day?"

Guan Yu said to Zhang Fei in a cold voice, "Third brother, don't be rude to elder brother!"

Zhang Fei glared at Guan Yu, and asked, "Second Brother, are you not bothered by seeing Big Brother like this?!"

After hearing this, Guan Yu turned his head to Liu Bei and asked, "Brother, are you worried about Yuan Shao?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "The Han Dynasty is difficult."

Liu Bei glanced out, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were sad at the same time, Zhao Gao and Yang Youji who were in the same camp were much more relaxed, Zhao Gao was okay, at least he knew how to put on a sad look, and Yang Youji It is a completely irrelevant attitude.

When Guan Yu saw him, he couldn't help saying to him in a cold voice: "Mr. Wen Gao, it seems that your brother doesn't seem to be very concerned about my elder brother's affairs, so why don't you ask him to leave this tent first."

After Guan Yu said this, Zhang Fei said, "Second brother, you don't know that Mr. Wen Gao's brothers have always been like this. You forgot who fought for the [-] soldiers in Yuzhou back then? "

When Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei mentioning this, he thought that although the actions of these two people were unethical, they were for Liu Bei after all, so he closed his eyes for a while and did not say anything.
