"Surprise attack on Fancheng and shoot Cai Zhong dead."
Sun Ce flipped through the military newspaper he had just arrived, and finally the gloom of the past few days cleared away from his face, revealing a rare smile. Sun Ce raised the military newspaper in his hand and said to Da Qiao who was bandaging his wounds: "Ying'er, your brother-in-law is very capable. Gong Jin helped me conquer more than half of the territory that my husband has gained now. ." [bsp; "Don't move." Da Qiao tied the gauze behind Sun Ce's back and helped him put on his coat. He said calmly, "No matter what, as long as you are safe and happy, husband, I will be satisfied. .¡±
"Oh." Sun Ce responded, beating a little drum in his heart. Although Da Qiao is his wife, Sun Ce sometimes has a strange feeling, as if he would be blaspheming her by looking at Da Qiao one more time.
"Husband." Da Qiao put his face on Sun Ce's back, "I want someone to accompany me."
Sun Ce turned around and asked, "Has it been me who has been away fighting and neglected you?"
"No." Da Qiao blushed, lowered his head, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "I want a child to accompany me."
¡°Halo, people who are not of the same era really have no way to communicate and communicate. You have wanted children since you were so young. Marrying so early already makes you feel guilty. Sun Ce broke into a cold sweat, but he couldn't bear to hurt Da Qiao's heart, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll let you have one when I have time."
"When will you be free?" Da Qiao continued to ask reluctantly.
"It's been hard recently." Sun Ce gently kissed Da Qiao's forehead, "Ying'er, my mother just passed away."
Da Qiao looked sad, but he also knew that what Sun Ce said was reasonable, so he could only say in a low voice: "It's my fault."
Sun Ce held Da Qiao in his arms and said warmly: "Ying'er, the days are long." At this moment, ambition and the love of his children were bound to each other. The footsteps of the heroes in troubled times finally stopped, and the changes in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the south also briefly solidified. .
At this time, the dark clouds of war shrouding the north began to roll violently.
Late at night, Xudu.
The central hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is brightly lit. This situation has been going on for a long time. Since Yuan Shao began to mobilize his troops in the spring, the lights in Cao Cao's central hall have almost never been extinguished every night.
"It's been three months." Cao Cao held his forehead and looked at the map in front of him, "Three months have not made Yuan Shao determined to cross the Yellow River and attack me? I am getting a little impatient waiting."
Guo Jia spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid Yuan Shao still won't be able to make up his mind in the short term. For Yuan Shao, the saying that troops are valuable and quick is a big taboo in using troops."
Everyone in the hall burst out laughing after hearing this. Cao Cao even smiled heartily: "It's boring to wait anyway. You might as well guess what Yuan Shao is waiting for?"
??
Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully: "Yuan Shao is not a sophisticated strategist. It is not easy for him to form an alliance with Liu Bei. I have prepared an excuse for him to make up his mind to send troops, but this excuse happened to be , but it is the biggest help that can promote the alliance between Yuan and Liu." Cao Cao pondered for a while, and then said: "Do you think that if I use the strength of my family to fight against the two powerful armies, what are the chances of winning?"
"If we just fight against Yuan Shao, my lord's chance of winning is about 70%." Guo Jia laughed twice, "If we fight against the combined forces of Yuan and Liu, my lord's chance of winning is about 90%."
"What do you mean?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.
Guo Jialang said: "Liu Bei is unwilling to be a minister, and he is not capable as a leader. Although he has the ambition to make achievements, he has no clear plans and goals. Now he is hiding in Bingzhou and Youzhou. If it is true, If you want to achieve something in your lifetime, you have only two choices, either go west to attack Liangzhou, or go south to annex Ji and Qingzhou. In the bitter cold land of Liangzhou, most of the people are foreigners, and it is difficult to control them. Therefore, for Liu Bei, the best choice is to attack Yuan Shao, occupy Hebei, and then fight for the world. Although Yuan Shao is stupid, he has also coveted the two states of You for a long time. In this way, two people with different intentions come together. , it would be nice if they can avoid fighting, how can we expect them to work together."
??
"Okay, since there is a 90% chance of winning, I will simply help Yuan Shao make this decision." Cao Cao patted his knee and asked, "What's going on with Dong Cheng recently?"
"I feel a little impatient, a bunch of old guys??Having such passion really surprises me. Cheng Yu smiled and shook his head, "But how much trouble can a bunch of old men without military power make?" "
Cao Cao nodded slightly, a sharp light flashing in his narrowed eyes: "Are you all ready?"
"The Tiger Guards of Dian Wei and Xu Chu have been assembled outside the city and are ready for action." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice, "The people who participated in the rebellion within the court have been listed on this note. Please take a look at it. As for the other ministers, I also used this period of time to collect a lot of information, and I have more or less grasped some of their handles. Although it is nothing more than trivial matters such as cheating, corruption, and debauchery, it is enough to tell each of them. Let them lose face."
"Zhongde has handled this matter very safely. With these arrangements, I feel relieved." Cao Cao took the list in Cheng Yu's hand, glanced at it, and sneered: "They are all people who have half of their feet in the coffin." People, since they are so eager to die, I am embarrassed to refuse their kind offer."
In the middle hall of the uncle's house, Dong Cheng was conspiring with a group of ministers who had signed a pledge of justice against the thieves. A retainer came rolling in and said, "Master, no it's not good." , CaoCao Chenxiang is coming here with his troops, we can't stop it We can't stop it!"
Dong Cheng was so shocked that he left his seat. All the ministers were also frightened. They bumped around in the hall at a loss. A few timid ones even hid under the table, trembling. Heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and Cao Cao walked into the central hall wearing armor. Standing by the door, Cao Cao sneered and said: "My lords, you are really in a good mood. You are holding a candlelight conversation at my uncle's house so late at night. Why didn't you inform me next time? I don't know what you are discussing here. Tell me. Listen, maybe I can help you with some ideas."
"It'sit's not a big deal." Dong Cheng replied with a trembling voice.
"My head may not be a big deal to my uncle, but it is a big deal to me." Cao Cao sneered.
Dong Cheng's feet went weak and he collapsed on the ground, "CaoCao thief" But at this time, there was no trace of righteousness in his voice. Apart from fear, there was endless fear. of fear.
"Where did my uncle's lofty ambitions go when he was escorting thieves?" Cao Cao said with a smile, "You are here to discuss how to deal with me, do you think I don't know? I have no interest in what you are talking about. I came here today just to borrow some money from you. Once your heads are used, use your heads to help Yuan Shao in Hebei make a decision!"
"Capture all the people who came, and imprison the families of all the people here. Only one of them got away!" Cao Cao turned around and walked out of the door.
The moment he stepped out of the gate, Cao Cao paused, and his cold voice overwhelmed the howling ghosts and wolves in the hall: "However, I really want to thank you all. I want to use your rebellion to make the world commotion!"
