Chapter 144 Gongsun and Cao (2)

The candlelight reflected half of the blade.

Opposite, the figure with thick eyebrows and thin eyes stroking his palms, then his smile was calm and pressed on the table: "...I heard that Gongsun Zhi killed many foreign races, and killed Han people only in the number of Liu Yu. If you are willing to kill me, Cao Cao, you will not sit down." The wide sleeves spread to both sides, and he raised his hands with a warm voice: "Come on, drink a cup for today's victory."

"Happy, Mr. Cao!"

Gongsun Zhi threw the scimitar on the table aside, raised his hands to signal the wine cup, and raised his head to drink it all again. When he put it down, Cao Cao on the opposite side nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of vegetables and put it to his mouth, paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the corner of his eyes: "...You killed Liu Yu in front and Yuan Shao in back, but you know why I still wanted to take you in."

On the other side, Gongsun Zhi was silent for a moment and shook his head.

The vegetables and vegetables that were wandering around his mouth finally entered his mouth. Cao Cao put down his long chopsticks: "First, you saved me from Xu Rong's hands, and this kindness will definitely be repaid. I, Cao Cao, don't owe anyone..." Speaking of this, he smiled, and his every move was imposing: "... Second, if you got the leader of Gongsun, how could Cao care about tearing apart with Yuan Benchu?"

"Don't Cao Gong be sure that my Gongsun Zhi will serve with peace of mind?" Gongsun Zhi looked serious, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the figure over there, "... My father is now the lord of Youzhou. Why didn't Cao Gong serve my father, attack Yuan Shao from the north and the south, and achieve great things together?"

"A big event?" Cao Cao fell silent.

The wind at night whizzed across the tent, and a slight wave undulating. Outside, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and Cao Chun looked at the orange light inside, and the silhouettes of the two of them. After a moment of silence, the conversation started to say, "...I, Cao Cao, will only be a Han minister in this life."

"Hmm?" This was quite surprising to Gongsun Zhi who was not good at history.

The figure on the other side took a sip of wine, thought for a while, stood up and walked to the first chief desk and looked at the candlelight above. After a long time, he continued to say: "...If the world is not chaotic, the family is just a rich man, but what I wish in my life is to cross the grassland like you, drive away the barbarians, and be a general who defends the country and the west."

"It's a pity that the world is in chaos." Gongsun Zhi smiled.

Cao Cao turned around and smiled, "That's why I envy you. Troubled times are not easy, and the Han Dynasty is falling apart. Seeing that the chaos is coming, Liu Yu is responsible for the consequences. If you don't kill him, I will kill this person sooner or later."

"I don't understand what Cao said."

"My Han family is fighting in the middle of the house. At most, the brothers in the family are having trouble. If the Hulu came from the north, he wanted to get a share of the pie. It was Liu Yu who helped outsiders come in and beat their own people. If I don't kill him, who would I kill?!"

The figure suddenly raised his voice and was already angry. He was born in a famous family, so he naturally had a set of etiquette regarding different people, but now he rarely showed different emotions than before.

Gongsun Zhi nodded: "So I killed him."

"Good kill!"

Cao Cao turned around, strode back to several tables, sat down, and raised his wine cup: "Come, drink again."

"But if you kill him, you will have trouble... a lot of trouble!" He tapped his fingertips on the table, "... He is an official and a royal family member. If you kill him with a bandit, it is equivalent to slapping the famous scholars in the world. The royal family slapped him hard in the face. In the future, it would be impossible to make a foothold, because as long as people in the world cannot see the barbarians heading south, they will not think you are right, do you understand?"

"I met Cao Gong for the first time, why did you say this..."

Before Gongsun Zhi finished speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand: "...I, Cao Cao, said just now, I envy you and admire you for being able to lead hundreds of people to fight against the Xianbei and Xiongnu on the border, even for the sake of making a life, it is a big man. It would be a pity to die."

The words were said for a while.

...

Outside the tent, intermittent voices came from the inside. The three outside also heard a rough sound. Seeing that there was no tension inside, they probably breathed a sigh of relief. Then there was footsteps coming, and a personal soldier who was sent away approached: "...Master, after the conversation, General Xiahou returned..."

At this time, the curtain was lifted up, and Cao Cao took Gongsun Zhi out of it, and the latter bowed: "Cao Gong still has military affairs to work hard. I will go to Juye first to let the brothers rest for a few days, and wait for Cao Gong to come back before talking."

Speaking of this, it was getting late. After arguing, Gongsun Zhi bid farewell to Cao's camp and met the wolf cavalry outside. Heishan cavalry set out to temporarily station in the giant wilderness to the west, and by the way, everyone in the north who had never turned around in the heart of the Central Plains had a vacation.

After hearing that there was no danger, there were mostly smiles on the team of thousands of people on the way. After all, there were almost very few such opportunities on them when they were on the military holiday. Some of them were followed by Gongsun Zhi from the White Wolf Origin, and some came from Baima Yi. In the final analysis, there were frequent wars in the places where they were located. If they wanted to rest, they would only have a chance to quit in winter.

“…I don’t know what can be found here?”

"It would be better if there were still women..."

"You have a good idea..."

Li Ke and Pan Feng would occasionally say a few words, and there were whispering conversations around the rest, mostly excitedly discussing what fun Juye would be or what kind of world they could pay for, and they fought all the way, and there were some valuable small items.

Two days later, the troops were stationed outside the city, and thousands of people entered the county town alternately. For Gongsun Zhi and Cai Yan, they sat down in the inn early, hugged the soft bedding, and slept until the afternoon before they woke up. Li Ke, the silly boy outside the door, looked back and forth four or five times, staring at Hua Xiong, Pan Feng and others out together, and their lower lips were bit red.

The sun was west, and the door finally opened. Cai Yan walked out with her husband's arm, with a blush on her face. She was wearing a light green dress. She was already a woman, and she looked graceful and charming. Then she smiled at Gongsun Zhi.

"When you arrive at the market, you have to change your husband's outfit and don't always wear this."

Walking out of the inn, Gongsun Zhi looked at the red sky, and the time was not too late: "How should I wear it for my husband?"

"Let's pick and see when you are going to take care of everything."

Perhaps in this way, Li Ke was trotting back and forth with a mace, looking at the busier streets than Yanmen County before, and was even more excited.

Then the three of them walked into the lively market with about twenty guards.

...

The war in Yanzhou suddenly began, and the news of Liu's death in the battle had already spread throughout Yanzhou. Most of the restaurants in all cities and cities had such talks. Similarly, some wealthy families were moved when they saw the interests.

The Chenliuwei family under Yanzhou was originally one of the sponsors of Cao Cao's rebellion. Now that the war broke out, food is the most in short supply. In addition to local prefectures and counties, there are naturally some people in the several states that are separated by want to transport grain here for a good price, and the Hedong Wei family is also one of them.

A figure walked up to the restaurant on a certain street and seemed to be looking for someone. After a while, someone waved to the window: "Zhongdao, here"
