    A trace of nostalgia flashed across Xi Zhong's face, as if he was reminiscing.  After a long time, Xi Zhong recovered his thoughts and said in a hoarse voice: "My lord! All the princes in the world have nothing to worry about. The only one who is worried is Yuan Shu from the south. My lord, you should treat it with caution." Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he nodded: "I also know about this matter.  , but the strength is not enough to compete with them. " Xi Zhong shook his head and said: "My lord, don't worry! Yuan Shu stopped at Wancheng and Runan to show his attitude that he did not want to be involved in the melee in the Central Plains. He will give his lord enough time to unify the Central Plains.  "Cao Cao was stunned and asked: "Why is this?" "Since the Yellow Turban, the Central Plains has been in chaos. Bandits and bandits have risen everywhere.  ." Xi Zhong said calmly.  "In this way, Yuan Shu wants to wipe out the Central Plains with one of the princes, and then he will go north to attack, once and for all." Cao Cao understood the meaning of Xi Zhong instantly, and felt very uncomfortable.  Thinking about it, the Central Plains is a place that Yuan Shu doesn¡¯t like, but he has to fight tooth and nail to fight for it. In the end, he may even make a wedding dress for Yuan Shu. It¡¯s strange that he is in a good mood.  "Exactly! Yuan Shu will give the lord enough time to unify the Central Plains, but he will not sit back and watch the lord invade Hebei." Xi Zhong nodded and said.  Cao Cao was silent for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Does Zhicai think that I will take the Central Plains or not?"  After Yuan Shu captures Jingzhou, the army will march northward. By then, Yuan Shu will be in a strong position, and if he wants to fight against him, he will have no chance. " "But even if he takes over the Central Plains, he will probably not be able to defeat Yuan Shu."  Cao Cao frowned.  "My Lord conquered the Central Plains, not to gain a foothold, but to gather people, money and food." Xi Zhong's words confused Cao Cao, and Xun Yu and the other three also looked puzzled.  "What do you mean by Zhicai's words?" Cao Cao asked curiously.  "Literally! After the lord gathered the people, money and food, he secretly moved westward and entered Guanzhong." Xi Zhong said calmly.  Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were all shocked. Everyone couldn't accept Xi Zhong's jumping thinking for a while.  "Guanzhong?" Cao Cao asked doubtfully.  "That's right!" Xi Zhong said firmly: "Qin occupied Guanzhong and wiped out the six kingdoms. Gaozu took Guanzhong, defeated the overlord of Chu, and pacified the world. This shows the importance of Guanzhong. If Emperor Guangwu hadn't moved eastward, Guanzhong would not necessarily be as prosperous as the Central Plains.  " Having said this, Xi Zhong coughed violently again, and his hands were stained with blood.  Cao Cao quickly got some water and rinsed Xi Zhong¡¯s mouth.  After a while, Xi Zhong calmed down a little and continued: "Next, my lord must work hard to pacify the Central Plains, and we must do it quickly, otherwise after Yuan Shu captures Jingzhou, everything will come to an end. After taking the Central Plains, my lord should immediately arrange for the people to move westward. At the same time,  Contact Yuan Shao and make an appointment to fight Yuan Shu together. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always been at odds, so they will definitely agree." Cao Cao nodded and said, "If Yuan Shu goes north, the lord cannot fight with him, and he will lead his army to retreat directly to Guanzhong.  However, as for those people who have not moved away, don't pay attention to it. My lord, please remember not to confront Yuan Shu before you have enough strength. You must give in when it is time to give in. Gou Jian was able to restore his country by working hard and humbling, and he conquered the world by bending his knees.  My lord, you should take this as a lesson and never act on your own initiative." Xi Zhong almost used up his last strength to finish this sentence.  At this time, Xi Zhong had already run out of oil, and with his last breath, he said to Cao Cao: "Entering Guanzhong, my lord should take Chang'an as the base, rely on Hangu Pass in the east, pacify the princes of Liangzhou in the west, and then go south to attack Yizhou.  . Liangzhou horses, Yizhou money and grain, with these two states, the lord can fight against Yuan Shu. The most important thing is" Before he finished speaking, Xi Zhong's voice stopped.  Cao Cao stretched out his hand to explore, and his heart suddenly sank. He hugged Xi Zhong into his arms and cried loudly: "The talented person is gone, and my heart is cut like a knife!" Xi Zhong used his last strength to plan the future for Cao Cao.  Unfortunately, there is still a word that has not yet been said about the road to development, which is a pity.  Xun Yu sighed, bowed his head and said nothing.  In the end, Guo Jia couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.  Although Cheng Yu was not familiar with Xi Zhong, his face was also filled with sadness.  Subsequently, Cao Cao arranged a funeral for Xi Zhong, which was extremely grand, and all his subordinates and civil servants came to pay their respects.  The death of Xi Zhong dealt a severe blow to Cao Cao.  After the funeral, Cao Cao locked himself in the room and did not step out of the room for three days.  Three days later, Cao Cao finally walked out. Although he looked a little haggard, his temperament was sharper. ???????????????????????After that, Cao Cao summoned Xun Yu and once again brought up the previous attack on Yingchuan.  Seeing that Cao Cao recovered, Xun Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is still cold and freezing, so it is not suitable to send troops. It will not be too late to send troops when the earth warms up." Cao Cao then ordered his generals to prepare.  When the ground warms up in mid-February, we will immediately march to Yingchuan.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Cao Cao lost help, but Yuan Shu found talented people.  Just after the New Year, at the end of the month, Yan Xiang came to report that there were two great sages coming to the Talent Recruiting Hall.  Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said to himself: "We are about to send troops to attack Yuzhang. It's a good sign that a talented person has defected to Yuzhang at this time. What a sign!" After hearing the names of the two people, Yuan Shu's joy disappeared and his heart was full of complicated things.  "Zhou YuSun Ce!" Yuan Shu murmured.  If it were any other time, Yuan Shu would have been overjoyed to learn that Zhou Yu had come to surrender. But now that he had killed Zhou Yu's close friend Sun Ce, when Zhou Yu came to surrender, Yuan Shu had to wonder if he had ulterior motives and was looking for an opportunity to avenge Sun Ce.  .  "Let's talk about it after we meet!" Yuan Shu had a slight headache and ordered Yan Xiang to arrange for the two to meet tomorrow.  The next day, Yuan Shu arrived at the official residence early.  When the scorching sun was high, Zhou Yu and Lu Su finally arrived.  Yuan Shu ordered people to come in.  "Zhou Yu (Lu Su) pays homage to General Yuan Shu!" Zhou Yu and Lu Su entered the hall and saluted Yuan Shu.  "No need to be rude, sit down!" Yuan Shu pointed to the seat on his right with an expressionless face.  "Thank you, General!" After the two sat down, Yuan Shu asked meaningfully: "I am very happy that Gong Jin and Zijing have come to vote. I wonder what position you want to ask for?" "Uh!" Zhou Yu  , Lu Su didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so direct, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.  Zhou Yu seemed to have realized something, and with a flash of light in his eyes, he said: "It depends on how the general arranges it." "Oh?" The surprise on Yuan Shu's face flashed away, and he smiled: "It seems that Gong Jin has learned a lot about himself.  "You are very confident, but you don't know why you came to vote for me?" "Isn't it because the general set up a recruitment hall to recruit all the talented people in the world? Why did the general ask this question when Zhou Yu came to vote for me today?"  Lu Su also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time. He was secretly nervous and looked at Zhou Yu anxiously.  Yuan Shu stared at Zhou Yu with his eyes straight.  Zhou Yu did not show weakness and looked at Yuan Shu with an indifferent expression.  For a long time, Yuan Shu looked sad and sighed: "The people are here, but the heart is not here!" "Haha!" Zhou Yu chuckled and said slightly provocatively: "I am both physically and mentally, but I am afraid that the general will not dare to ask for it!"  "Gong Jin!" These words could be said to be disrespectful, and Lu Su quickly pulled Zhou Yu away.  Zhou Yu ignored Lu Su and looked directly at Yuan Shu, observing the changes in his expression.  After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Yuan Shu was stunned, took a deep look at Zhou Yu, and said: "Gong Jin knows that the most terrifying thing is not how powerful the enemy is, but the hidden dangers within oneself." Zhou Yu said lightly: "Whether there is a hidden danger or not, the most terrifying thing is not how powerful the enemy is.  The decision has not yet been made, so how can the general judge?" Yuan Shu frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Gong Jin! I will say it bluntly, since Sun Ce has chosen the path of hegemony, he will lose.  If you do, you should suffer the consequences. I don¡¯t think I did anything wrong.¡± After a pause, he continued: ¡°Gong Jin has a good relationship with Sun Bofu and comes here to take revenge and fulfill his duties as a friend and brother.  I don't care, you can go on your own!" "General, I made a mistake" Lu Sugang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu.  At the moment, Zhou Yu said calmly: "The general can tolerate me, but why can't he tolerate the Sun family? As the general said before, if you embark on the road of striving for hegemony, you have to pay a price. Even if Bo Fu dies, it is not a pity.  How could his family deserve it?" A look of helplessness flashed across Yuan Shu's face, and he sighed: "Sun Jian is brave but has no plans, but he doesn't want his son to become a great man. Sun Ce is brave and invincible, and he can still treat the virtuous and corporal, which is really impressive; Sun Quan is young, but he can't.  The other disciples also have their own strengths and weaknesses. Do you think I can be compatible with such a family? PS: It¡¯s really fast!  !  !  I thought two updates tomorrow would be enough. I looked at the recommendations and found that it was already three thousand. I had no choice but to update three times tomorrow. I was exhausted.  Finally, I would like to thank ¡®**Heaven¡¯ for your support, rewards, reminders, and reviews. Thank you very much!
