    "No. If my lord and Cao Cao join forces, although they are not 100% sure of defeating Yuan Benchu, they are at least 40 or 50% sure. But my lord has never thought that if Yuan Benchu ??is defeated, then my lord and Cao Cao will fight for Ji, Qing, and  There will definitely be a war in the Three States of You. Cao Cao is unpredictable, good at scheming, and decisive. He is a peerless hero. If the Lord fights with him, both sides will lose.  During Cao Cao's war, the other princes were accumulating power, waiting for their advantage, and finally found the right opportunity to eliminate the two most important enemies of their lord and Cao Cao!

    And as long as Yuan Benchu ??still exists, the eyes of all the princes will be attracted to him and they will be afraid of him.  In this way, the lord can take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate power and compete for the world in the future.  If my guess is correct, Cao Cao must have the same idea.  "

    After hearing this, Wenhan's breathing became a little rapid and heavy, and he was silent for a while. During this period of time, many pictures flew through Wenhan's mind.

    "Sooner or later, Mengde and I will fight. However, it is definitely not my intention to let some insidious villains benefit from it. In this case, Zhicai, how should I deal with Yuan Benchu?"

    "Although Yuan Benchu ??came from the Runan family of the fourth generation and the third Duke, he was sought after by scholars all over the world. His subordinates are also full of talents, and he may become the overlord of the north in the future. However, he has a fatal flaw. That is arrogance.  In his eyes, all the princes in the world are ants, and only he, Yuan Benchu, is the real hero. He despises all the heroes in the world and will surely suffer the consequences one day.

    "Compared to the lord, I think he is more interested in destroying Cao Cao first.  However, just in case, the lord still needs to be prepared to strengthen defenses and increase the number of soldiers and horses in the area near Jizhou.  "

    Xi Long did not make it clear why Yuan Shao preferred to deal with Cao Cao first.  However, Wen Han understood in his heart that for no other reason, Yuan Benchu ??simply looked down on him, Wen Bufan.  On the contrary, he has always been afraid of Cao Cao.

    "The trend of the world will become more and more tense in the next few years. Zhicai, after taking Bingzhou, what should I do next?"

    Hearing Wenhan suddenly ask, Xilong nodded secretly. If Wenhan wants to compete for the world, he can't just focus too much on the things in front of him, but must look further and further.

    "My lord cares about the overall situation. This is what a hero should be like. Now my lord should put aside his hatred for Lu Bu. Moreover, Lu Bu is a traitor and has been despised by everyone in the world. Why should my lord not have the chance to kill him?"

    Xilong paused for a moment, his brainwaves started to spin rapidly, and the big picture of the world seemed to appear in Xilong's mind, Xilong changed his topic again and again.

    "Now the war situation in the north is almost stable. As expected, Yuan Benchu ??will become the biggest hero in the north. After Cao Mengde wins Yanzhou, if he wants to expand his power, he will definitely choose Yu and Xuzhou. As for the south, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao  The three tigers, Sun Jian and Sun Jian, are temporarily in a deadlock, and the south can be put aside for the time being.

    "The current situation will cause earth-shaking changes in the general trend of the world, and the key lies in the west.  There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and the remnants of Dong's thieves, Li Cui and Guo Si each hold important positions in Chang'an.  I heard that Li Ji had killed Fan Chou a few months ago and seized his military power.  Fan Chou and Guo Si have always been on good terms, which is known to the world.  If Li Ji kills people and seizes his military power, Guo Si will definitely be afraid of Li Ji because of this.  The relationship between the two is becoming increasingly tense. As long as someone takes advantage of it and lights a fire on it, the two will definitely turn against each other and become enemies.  If so, Chang'an will be in chaos.  And where the current sage goes will become the key to the general trend of the world.  "

    Wenhan's eyes were constantly shining brightly, and at the same time, his mind seemed to have thought of Xilong's words.

    "Zhicai, do you want me to take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an to rescue the current emperor!?"

    Xilong smiled slightly and nodded heavily.

    "As long as the lord can stabilize the state, store up grain and grass, recruit talented people, recruit soldiers, and expand the army to one hundred thousand before then. In this way, it will be enough to protect the safety of the Holy Lord and rebuild the imperial court. As long as the lord can control the Holy Lord.  With it in hand, you can take the emperor and command the princes, and the soldiers and horses will not be able to fight against him. Who can resist him? "

    "To hold the emperor in arms and command the princes"

    Wenhan murmured, Xilong really made this plan for him.  In history, Cao Cao coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to follow the principles of justice and attack wherever his troops went, and all the talented men in the world gathered around Cao Cao. This laid the foundation for the glory of his life.  Of course, among them, Cao Cao's talents, strategic wisdom, and wise employment of people are crucial. However, it cannot be denied that using the emperor to command the princes made Cao Cao's hegemony of conquering the world smoother.

    Wenhan's pupils kept shrinking, his thoughts were racing rapidly, and he said solemnly with a solemn expression.

    "I'm afraid that if Zhicai thought of it, some people would think of it."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?He was startled, and after looking at Wenhan deeply for a while, he asked suspiciously.

    "My lord, are you talking about Cao Mengde? This is really weird. My lord is not the roundworm in Cao Mengde's belly. How did you know that he would want to get together with me?"

    "Could it be possible for me to tell you that I came from time travel?"

    Wenhan rolled his eyes and coughed twice. Of course, it was impossible to tell the truth, and he made an incomprehensible expression.

    "Cao Mengde and I are close friends, so of course we know what he is thinking. Zhicai might as well just assume that he really has this idea and deal with it first." Xilong saw that Wenhan looked confident, as if Cao Cao would really threaten the emperor and give the order.  The princes immediately frowned at their thoughts and thought for a while before speaking.

    "In this case, the choice is not in the hands of the lord or Cao Mengde, but depends on whether the current emperor and the ministers of the court will choose the lord or Cao Cao."

    After hearing this, Wenhan opened his eyes, nodded a few times, his expression was extremely complicated, and he spoke in a slightly bitter tone.

    "There is almost no need to think deeply. Seventy percent of the emperor and the ministers in the court will choose Cao Mengde. After all, Cao Mengde comes from a wealthy family, and his grandfather has served three generations of emperors. The Cao family has always been deeply trusted by the Han Dynasty. And Cao Mengde was once the leader of the Righteous Teachers Alliance, and his reputation is  The power is extremely high. Although I have made many contributions to the Han Dynasty, I come from a poor family. This alone is enough to put me more than one step below Cao Mengde in the eyes of the current emperor."

    Xilong also came from a poor family. Hearing Wenhan's words touched his heart a lot. He has a deep understanding of the discrimination faced by people from poor families.  He had just achieved success in his studies, and he entered the officialdom with passion, wanting to use up his talent and knowledge to serve the Han Dynasty court.  Unexpectedly, when the official who received him saw that he was wearing shabby clothes, his expression was extremely disdainful and ugly from the beginning.  Later, he asked about Xilong's background. When he heard that Xilong came from a poor family, his expression changed immediately. He shouted and cursed at Xilong, and even ordered the soldiers to drive Xilong out of the house.

    "The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This is already true for a small official, not to mention the ministers of the court and the high-ranking royal family.  However, the culture of poor families not being valued and being looked down upon for no reason by superiors, bureaucrats and even members of the royal family has lasted in the Han Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this culture had reached its peak.

    Xilong paced slowly. The overall situation of his original plan was broken by Wenhan's sudden words.  If Cao Cao really wanted to use the emperor to control the princes, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would definitely choose Cao Cao.

    No matter how depressed and prestige the Han Dynasty is today, after all, the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty in name, and Wen Han and Cao Cao are both Han officials.  Unlike the remnants of Dong's thieves, Li Cui and Guo Bang could break pots and smash jars, unscrupulously manipulate Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and despise the prestige of the court.

    If Wen Han spent troops and food to finally rescue Emperor Xian of Han and hundreds of officials in the court, but Emperor Xian of Han finally said to go to Cao Cao's side, Wen Han, as a Han official, would be treason if he did not let Cao Cao go. If he did it by force, he would only be forced to become a traitor.  The name.  In this way, even if Wen Han helped Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to rebuild the court, the princes in the world would compare Wen Han to the likes of Li Cui and Guo Si, and regard this new dynasty as a pseudo dynasty.  In this way, it is impossible to hold the emperor and order the princes.

    Xilong kept concentrating and soon fell into deep thought.  Wen Han knew that Xilong was deep in thought, so he didn't disturb him and just closed his eyes to rest quietly.

    Time passed minute by minute, and three hours had passed. During this period, in order not to disturb Xilong, Wenhan made several gestures to the guards outside the door, telling them not to let anyone come in and disturb him.

    Unconsciously, the sky was slowly getting dark.  Xilong's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had calmed down, as if the entire hall was illuminated.  Just as Xilong wanted to move his body, he found that his feet were numb and painful, and he almost fell down on the spot.  Wenhan didn't know when he had come to his side and quickly supported Xilong.

    "You're a weak scholar. I usually ask you to exercise more, but you just stood for a few hours, and your body can't hold it anymore. Come on, let me help you sit aside."

    Xilong raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes at Wenhan, and retorted.

    "My lord, you are really heartless. I have been traveling non-stop for days with little rest on the way. As soon as I came back to Anyi, I was caught by my lord and brought here. My lord, you have racked your brains to think of big plans. I have been standing here for several hours.  My spirit and physical strength have long been exhausted. What's more, my lord, have you ever seen me have any free time? How can I do this exercise?"

    Xilong's unintentional words made Wenhan's heart twitch. Only then did he realize that his entire power had been supported by Xilong alone.  And now that his power is getting bigger and bigger, Xilong is getting busier and busier. If this continues, I am afraid that Xilong will fall ill from fatigue one day.

    After Wenhan helped Xilong to the side and sat down, he suddenly concentrated his expression and bowed deeply to Xilong

    "If it weren't for Zhicai's words, I wouldn't have noticed Zhicai's suffering. It's really an extraordinary mistake. It's because I relied too much on Zhicai. During these days of Zhicai, you should have a good rest. For the time being, I won't go to war. You  Just relax and rest. Also, I will try my best to recruit more talented people to share the burden with you."

    As the lord, Wenhan actually admitted his mistake to Xilong in person. Xilong didn't expect that his unintentional and half-joking complaint would actually be heard by Wenhan.  At this moment, Xilong felt bursts of warmth in his heart, and then he smiled wildly and waved his hand.

    "Eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. My lord, Long can't bear such a great gift. What's more, what Long said just now is just a joke, lord, don't take it seriously. Long is born to work hard. If he really wants to rest for a while,  When I¡¯m free, I feel like I¡¯ve been bitten by ants and feel uncomfortable all over.¡±

    "Okay. No need to say more. You are my Wen Bufan brain. If there is anything wrong with you, I will lose my brain. If a person's brain stops, it means I don't need to say more, Zhicai, you should understand  ¡±

    Wen Han looked slightly angry and stared at Xi Long incredulously.  Xilong shook his head helplessly and smiled, and then agreed to Wenhan to take a good rest for a while.

    After a while, the numbness in Xilong's body subsided slightly, and his expression suddenly became serious. When Wenhan saw this, his expression also condensed, his eyes tightened, and he appeared to be listening attentively and concentrating.

    "Lord, it is a blessing to be a blessing in disguise. If Cao Mengde really joins the chaos in Chang'an in the future, and the Holy Emperor finally chooses Cao Cao, this is not a bad thing. If Cao Mengde really threatens the emperor and orders the princes, the effect may be great, but by then  Sometimes someone will be jealous of him."
