Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, when Yuan Shu sent people to contact the small lords who had previously submitted to him, the messages disappeared without a trace.

At this point, even if Yuan Shu was slow to realize, he understood that he had been quietly excluded from the distribution of benefits.

"How dare they do this? How dare they do this?!"

At this moment, Yuan Shu, enraged to the extreme, even had the thought of secretly leading his elite troops into the city, launching a direct attack on Liu Xie, so that everyone would suffer and become rebellious subjects.

However, before Yuan Shu could send people to arrange the troops, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei respectively sent Xu You and Guo Jia to visit Yuan Shu, and their words were full of warnings to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he was almost driven mad, and he even felt a strong sense of betrayal.

But Yuan Shu also understood that things were impossible. After Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei secretly reached an agreement, Yuan Shu himself had completely lost the ability to even overturn the table.

The next day.

When Yuan Shu arrived at the Southern Palace with a gloomy face to prepare for the court meeting, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred as he watched the lords around him all smiling and chatting!

Until Yuan Shu saw Cao Cao standing in the corner, his face also extremely gloomy.

If Yuan Shu's face was like a volcano about to erupt, then Cao Cao's appearance was almost no different from losing his own mother.

At this moment, Yuan Shu felt better, and he deliberately walked to Cao Cao, whom he had previously looked down upon, and asked.

"Mengde, why aren't you smiling? Could it be that the court's reward does not suit Mengde's wishes?"

Cao Cao heard the words, remained silent for a while, and then opened his mouth and said. "Cao and Chen Gongtai have a private feud. Chen Gongtai used his position for personal gain and did not visit Cao at all."

If you need to use a word to describe Cao Cao's mood at the moment, you only need to use his own name.

— Cao!

How could Cao Cao have imagined that Chen Gong, who should have died at the hands of assassins, was not only safe and sound, but had also transformed into Lu Bu's strategist, and then stabbed Cao Cao without hesitation.

Moreover, when Cao Cao learned that Chen Gong was visiting the lords everywhere, Cao Cao realized that something was wrong, and personally brought generous gifts to block Chen Gong, preparing to apologize to Chen Gong and resolve their past grievances.

Even renewing their relationship, Cao Cao felt, was not impossible.

Cao Cao did not know how to cherish Chen Gong when he first obtained him. Now that Chen Gong has shown outstanding abilities under Lu Bu, this has made Cao Cao feel that Chen Gong is extremely desirable.

However, Cao Cao's fantasy of bearing thorns to plead for forgiveness was completely extinguished by Chen Gong's cold reply.

"Brother Mengde, if Gong does not repay that push, how can I be considered a human?"

Moreover, regardless of what Cao Cao thought, Yuan Shu suddenly felt a sense of being in the same boat, and developed a sense of closeness to Cao Cao, whom he had previously disliked, and said.

"Hmph, in my opinion, the entire court is full of people who are opportunistic and betray their promises. What if there is no reward today? I am the嫡子of the Yuan family, and my students and former officials are all over the Han Dynasty…"

After a pause, Yuan Shu patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said.

"Today, these villains are bullying us. One day, we will definitely avenge this humiliation. Moreover, that concubine-born son has disregarded Mengde's many years of loyalty. How about joining my command?"

Cao Cao was slightly startled in his heart, and could not help but feel a little surprised and uncertain about the olive branch suddenly thrown by Yuan Shu, who had always been at odds with him.

Therefore, after Cao Cao hesitated slightly, he said.

"Cao is on good terms with Benchu, so naturally he is also on good terms with Brother Gonglu."

Faced with Cao Cao's tactful refusal, if it had been in the past, Yuan Shu would have been furious and scolded Cao Cao for not knowing what was good for him.

However, at this moment, Yuan Shu developed some goodwill towards Cao Cao, and felt that Cao Cao was truly loyal and worthy of deep friendship.

Immediately, Yuan Shu smiled and said.

"Then, if Mengde ever intends to change his allegiance, you only need to send a letter. I will only give more support than that concubine-born son can give to Mengde."

Looking at Yuan Shu's serious look, Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

However, before Cao Cao could continue to speak.

A eunuch happened to loudly announce that the ministers should come to the court. The waiting lords and ministers tidied up their appearance and then entered the Jiade Hall in an orderly manner.

… …

At the same time, outside the gate of the Southern Palace.

Li Ji, under the protection of Zhao Yun, rode in a carriage with Chen Gong to the Imperial Garden located in the Northern Palace.

This court meeting, in the final analysis, is just a formality of dividing the spoils. The specific distribution has already been fully negotiated.

In addition, the court officials in Luoyang had already been slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, and the remaining few cats and dogs only served as decorations.

And with Lu Bu's inevitable presence, this was undoubtedly the safest time to enter the Northern Palace, effectively avoiding the risk of Lu Bu going crazy and threatening his life.

However, even so, Liu Bei, who was not very relieved, still required Zhao Yun to protect Li Ji at all times.

However, watching Chen Gong accompany him all the way, showing the token to enter the Northern Palace, Li Ji opened his mouth with a somewhat playful smile.

"The Jiade Hall is the real business. Gongtai is not accompanying Marquis Wen, but has the leisure to accompany Ji to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers. Aren't you afraid of any accidents?"

Chen Gong also returned a smile and said.

"If I casually send a general to accompany the national scholar, wouldn't it be too rude? Moreover, I also have some research on exotic flowers and plants, which can just be used as a reference for Mr. Zikun."

Li Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his folding fan to thank Chen Gong, while his heart moved and he thought.

'There must be something in the palace that they don't want me to come into contact with, so Chen Gongtai is worried about others, and does not hesitate to accompany me in person.'

'Or is it that Chen Gongtai has seen through my thoughts and wants to find out what kind of exotic flowers and plants I want to find?'

However, Li Ji did not publicize it, but chatted and laughed with Chen Gong towards the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Soon, when Li Ji arrived at the Imperial Garden, what he saw was a colorful array of various flowers and plants.

And Li Ji did not show any excitement or excitement, but stood in place and looked at it with admiration, and even pulled Chen Gong to make a few short poems.

If it comes to military and political strategies, Chen Gong can talk eloquently, but writing poetry is obviously not Chen Gong's forte.

Therefore, Chen Gong praised Li Ji a few times embarrassedly, and then took the initiative to pull Li Ji into the Imperial Garden.

As he stepped into the Imperial Garden, Li Ji's eyes were almost constantly scanning the various flowers and plants in it.

And Li Ji's advantage of reading a lot of books was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Along the way, he could almost tell everything about every kind of native Han flower and grass.

Habits, uses, shapes, etc., all answered fluently.

This series of things made Chen Gong dizzy and looked at Li Ji with a bit of surprise.

‘Isn’t it…'

‘It is rumored that you are proficient in astronomy, geography, military and political strategies, how can you also understand such things as exotic flowers and plants?’
