Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu, then looked at the three-foot ancient sword in Guo Tu's hand, with his eyes puzzled...

He just told Guo Tu yesterday that he had a dream, dreaming that a god gave him a sword, with the word "Sizhao" on the sword, and Guo Tu came to offer his sword today. This is a coincidence. If Guo Tu is so good at guessing the meaning of the lord, it would not be a good thing.

Those who are ministers hope to know the master's intentions well, but the monarch does not want him to be grasped by his ministers, to his preferences, and to deliberately flatter him.

“Where did it come from?”

"As far as the leader said in his dream, I tried to find it, but I didn't expect to think about it." Guo Tu said with a smile, holding the sword in both hands, and handed it to Yuan Shao: "Leader, see if it is the ancient sword that the leader saw in his dream."

Yuan Shao hesitated and took it over, holding the sheath in one hand and the handle in the other, slowly pulling it apart. A slight friction sounded, and a dark red sword appeared in front of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes and looked at the thigh of the sword, where there were two ancient seal characters: Sizhao.

This is not what he saw in his dream, at least not exactly.

"Pub Ze, what is the saying of Sizhao Jian?"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "The leader of the alliance, this Sizhao sword was made by Duke Zhou. On that day, Duke Zhou guarded Luoyang and was famous all over the world. After slandering him, Duke Zhao also had doubts. Duke Zhou made this sword, called Sizhao, because he hoped to share the same heart with Duke Zhao and know each other." Guo Tu paused and said, "The Sizhao is Shao. Shao is Success. This sword reappeared in the world, which means that the leader pursued the predecessors and promoted the Confucian school."

"Mr. Nonsense." Yuan Shao lowered his face, but his eyes were full of smiles: "How dare I compare with Duke Zhou? If I can be with Duke Zhou, I will be a lackey for his disciples."

"The leader is humble, Tu admires him very much." Guo Tu said intriguingly. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that although Yuan Shao had some doubts, he had accepted this statement. At this embarrassing time, Yuan Shao got Sizhao Jian and imitated Duke Zhou, not only to show others that he had no intention of replacing the Han Dynasty, but also to seize the power of conquest. At the same time, he also retained further rights.

Wang Mang was the Duke of Zhou at that time. This did not prevent him from going further. Duke Zhou was one of the most praised figures of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism. With Duke Zhou as his call, he was of course the most suitable banner for Yuan Shao, who represented the entire Confucianism. In fact, except for those corrupt scholars who were not transformed into ancient times, most people recognized it. Duke Zhou was likely to go further at that time. It was just that the conditions did not allow it.

Even abdication is a beautiful legend, why can't Zhou Gong?

Yuan Shao understood this principle, and Guo Tu also understood this principle. It was precisely because of this that he was willing to accept Xun Chen's suggestion and sent the Sizhao sword to Yuan Shao through his hand.

"What's so magical about this sword?" Yuan Shao played with the ancient sword, a little careless. "Can he beat the Xuan Dao?"

"No." Guo Tu said without hesitation.

"Then..." Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu and asked again: "Can you defeat the Wu Dao of the Sun family?"

"It's also impossible." Guo Tu said again: "The only one who can compare with the Xuan Dao and the Wu Dao is the Chixiao Sword."

"Where is Chixiao?"

"have no idea."

Yuan Shao sighed: "So, I can't compare to Liu Bian's child, but I can't compare to the road?"

After Sun Jian's death, the Sun family had no leader and had fallen into Yuan Shu's control. The mouth of Sun Jian's hand naturally became Yuan Shu's collection. After hearing this news, Yuan Shao felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Liu Bian had a mysterious sword, and Yuan Shu had a divine sword, but he had no magical artifacts, which was inconsistent with his identity as the leader.

What made him feel even more shameful was that Liu Bian gave the weapons collected in the palace to generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu. This kind of prodigal behavior seemed to be a waste of money to Yuan Shao, but he could only watch it, while his generals were moved and expressed envy. In the long run, it was very unfavorable to him.

Now, he got an ancient sword, and he could have shown it in front of others, but the sword could not be compared with Xuan Dao, Jian Gun and Wu Dao. What did he want to do? Will he take it out and make Yuan Shu laugh at it?

Guo Tu was prepared for Yuan Shao's idea. He put away his smile and said seriously: "Does the leader know what Liu Bian's biggest reliance is?"

Yuan Shao glanced at Guo Tu sideways: "I'll listen carefully."

"The leader of the alliance, Liu Bian's greatest reliance is the giant dragon, not the mysterious sword." Guo Tu said seriously: "The only one who can balance the giant dragon is the phoenix bird. Once the phoenix bird comes out, whether it is the mysterious sword or the quiver Gun Wu sword, it will turn into a ball of scrap iron in the phoenix fire."

Yuan Shao raised his eyebrows and remained silent. This mentioned his troubles again, so he could not be unhired. Liu Bian hatched the dragon, reversed the situation all at once, and showed the dragon's powerful combat power. This also gave everyone a higher expectation of the phoenix's ability, but he was unable to fulfill his promise for a long time. This is also a reason why many people began to shake him.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to hatch the phoenix. He thought about it day and night, hoping that at some point, the phoenix will break out of its shell. Unfortunately, this dream is very far away from him. How could Guo Tu mentions the phoenix at this moment, so how could he not let him get depressed?

"Sizhao Sword can help the leader's dream come true." Guo Tu said: "If you want to talk about morality, how could Emperor Gaozu of Han compare with Duke Zhou? If it weren't for Sizhao Sword, what could help the leader hatch a virtuous bird like a phoenix?"

Yuan Shao blinked and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that the imperial seal is not around, otherwise..." He changed his tone and asked again: "Public, what can you do if you don't want to fight against Xuzhou with me?"

"Make Cao Cao the vanguard." Guo Tu understood: "He has a warrior like Dian Wei, and it is most suitable to be a forward."

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes, I think it's his."

...

Cao Cao sighed, threw the order on the table, and said to Xun Yan, who was sitting opposite him: "Xi Zhicai has left, the order has come. Can the three or four thousand people in my hands be taken down by taking Xuzhou? Xiuruo, you have to help me."

Xun Yan smiled: "It is not a blessing to lose his horse. The land of Hebei is the treasure of the leader, and it is not a general who can be touched by it. There is no leader in Qingxu, and Qiao Pei is the general's hometown. Why not take this opportunity to recruit talents and strengthen his own strength?"

Cao Cao's eyes rolled and he slapped on the shore and shouted: "It's wonderful, Xiuruo, you have a good idea, this idea. Xiuruo, follow me to go to war."

Xun Yan shook his head: "General, don't worry, the genius who will go to the war with the general will arrive soon, and the general will wait patiently for two days."

"Oh, what kind of genius is he? Can he use formations like Xi Zhicai?"

"I don't know much about this. When the general meets him, ask him carefully."

"Okay, OK." Cao Cao was overjoyed and was ready to beat.

...

Sun Ce took off his mourning clothes, put on his armor, stood in front of the bronze mirror, without saying a word.

In the bronze mirror was a handsome and thin face. The three-month funeral made him exhausted, but the light in his eyes was brighter and more intense.

"Father, I will definitely avenge you." Liu Ce clenched his fists, and the anger in his eyes was burning. "I will definitely make the Sun family stand out and no longer be despised. Anyone who despises the Sun family will pay a heavy price."

There was a sound of footsteps at the door. Zhou Yu, who was about the same age as Sun Ce, walked in. When he heard what Sun Ce said, he couldn't help but frown: "Bo Fu, for those who are major issues, you should look at the world and not think about personal grudges."

Sun Ce turned around and looked at Zhou Yu. His smile bloomed from the corner of his mouth, but he was extremely cold: "The hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable. How can a son forget it in a moment? Gongjin, I will listen to you all the others. You should not mention this matter in the future."

Zhou Yu had no choice but to nod, "There is a Taoist priest outside who claimed to have met Lingzun and said he had a good word to tell him."

"Taoist?" Sun Ce's eyes flashed: "Did he say what his name is?"

"Yu Ji."

Sun Ce took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll go see him. Gongjin, you are with me."

...

Yu Ji walked in, looked at Sun Ce sitting upright in the hall, and then looked at Zhou Yu who was standing beside him, and suddenly sighed: "What a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that Lingzun's White Tiger's life." Yu Ji walked slowly to the hall and sat down opposite Sun Ce without waiting for Sun Ce's courtesy. "Although you have realized it, your fate is not valuable enough, you have more courage and more generous. It's best to find a great scholar to assist you. Even if you can't overcome your achievements, you can at least open up the situation."

Sun Ce's face turned gloomy: "Do you look down on my life?"

Yu Ji looked at Sun Ce calmly: "A person outside the world speaks bluntly. Does the general like to listen?"

Sun Ce was furious and stood up. He was about to yell. Zhou Yu held him down and bowed to Yu Jigong: "Master Yu, Bo Fu has the pain of losing his father. He is not very good at speaking. Please ask Taoist Master Hai Han. I heard that Taoist Master had planned General Sun, but I don't know if he could prepare for Bo Fu."

Yu Ji smiled and said, "Since you know that I have planned for General Sun, I must also know what I have planned for him. Now, the same thing is that Jiangbei is not a place for your Sun family and father to live in. Go back to Jiangdong. The six counties in Jiangdong are enough for you to show your strength."

Sun Ce curled his lips and looked at him disdainfully: "A real man should be rampant in the world and compete with the heroes of the world. How can he sit in the east and watch the wall?"

"I will not let you go back to Jiangdong, but let you avoid the strong and attack the weak and lay a solid foundation." Yu Ji said lightly: "I can still make achievements with your Sun family and Wu family's family background in time. If you are in the Central Plains, even if you are as brave as your father, what can you do?"

Sun Ce was speechless.

Yu Ji stood up and floated away. Sun Ce came to his senses and chased him out of the hospital, but could not see Yu Ji. He asked the soldiers outside the door, and the soldiers looked at each other and said in unison that he had not seen any Taoist priests.
