Chapter 305 Clouds
The banquet dispersed, and the remaining scorched wood of Mars was surging with smoke floating...
Both figures and footsteps were slightly floating in the military camp, followed by Dian Wei, Xu Chu and dozens of guards, and saw the soldiers sleeping with weapons, and their drunken figures spoke: "...... I wrote a poem today to make Gongsun laugh."
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand with a smile.
"Sikong's ideal, wish all people and the country, how can I laugh at it? If everyone has the idea of Sikong's plan for the people, the country will not be in chaos. People in their eighties will all die... I believe that someone may realize it in the future..."
"Gongsun."
This future Wei Wu rarely reveals his heart at this time, and his drunken expression shows a little smile, and his hands are placed behind him: "Do you know, why did I come here if you killed the emperor? Without this little emperor in the Han Dynasty, nine emperors of the Liu surname may appear in Jiuzhou in the world, not only because of the needs of the separatist princes, but also the large clans and large families in the local area also need imperial power to maintain their rights."
There was a smile on his face, but nothing could be seen in his eyes. When he breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his hand, his voice was vicissitudes: "...... What I can do, one is to use the imperial power to wipe out these people, and the other is to consolidate the imperial power and greatly delay the speed of the country's destruction. Gongsun, you have never attacked the Yellow Turban, you have not seen how those millions of people were hungry... How did they rebel with the Zhang Jiao brothers? In those years, they were starved to a hundred miles away. The old man starved to death and the children were treated as food. As a Han minister, I should have protected the people. Seeing those corpses, I couldn't eat for several days..."
The gradually extinguished flames swayed past their figures and dragged onto the ground, and were silent for a while. Gongsun Zhi remembered what Guo Jia had said to him that day. He turned his head and opposite to his eyes, Cao Cao was lifting a curtain of the tent to observe the status of the soldiers around him.
"That's because the great man lacks centripetal force, or cohesion." Gongsun Zhi suddenly spoke and continued alongside Cao Cao who was turning around.
"Well... With foreign enemies, the princes in various Han dynasties should not be able to sit still."
What a smart person Cao Cao was, and he understood the key in one sentence. He pondered for a moment, and shook his head with a smile: "...... During the Han Dynasty, the Huns were beaten to pieces. Now the Xianbei was made into a mess by your white wolf, and they all started to speak Chinese. Where can there be any foreign enemies that can scare all the princes? The Southern Barbarians or Shanyue? Even the Qiang people in the west were beaten by the Ma family father and son. The Western Regions farther away were all small countries. They were built today and died tomorrow. They would never have the confidence to unite? Gongsun looked at them too highly."
The journey became quiet again.
"Maybe, the people of the Qin Dynasty or the people of the rest come here?" After a while walking, Gongsun Zhi said: "Sikong, the Jiuzhou in the world wants to be defeated one by one. How long will it take for you to be delayed? You may die, and I am old, and I am not sure that the world will be united. At that time, we will stay on the bed. Will we regret today's decision one day?"
"You white wolf's temperament should not go around in circles, and you can't help but be interested in listening."
The steps moving forward stopped. Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at each other and took a few steps back to guard. Gongsun Zhi looked at each other and said in a low voice: "Share a play with the Ma family in the western frontier to make things worse. Liu Biao and Liu Yan would never sit idly by. After all, the Han Dynasty is the Liu family of their old Liu family. When the situation is serious, they will recall them to command troops in the name of the court, or enter the court to take charge of the government. They will all fall into the trap. Looking at the world, except for the two Yuans, these two people are the most powerful. As for a person named Sun Ce in Jiangdong, he is a man with blood bravery and courage. By then, eight states in the world are in the hands of the nine states in the world, and he will not be able to make trouble."
Cao Cao, dressed in black robe, stood there majesticly and thought for a while.
"What a big game of chess..." He said in a low voice, stretching his frown, and looking at the dark night ahead calmly. "Not whether the Ma family in Xiliang is willing or not, Han Sui next to you will not let you and me do what you want. Also, Liu Yan and Liu Biao entered the court, you also know that the emperor is fake. Then they both saw that if someone informed me, things would be in trouble."
In the black, Gongsun Zhi's eyes were also looking at the night, and Leng Che's words passed by: "I'll go over the Ma family. If Han Sui obstructs it, I will be the first to deal with him first. As for those who know the emperor's identity in the court, they still have to rely on Sikong to do it."
"Uh-huh!"
The two of them looked at each other, and Cao Cao naturally understood what he meant, "I'm already doing it."
"The fewer people should know this secret, the better..." He paused, his eyes narrowed, "After hunting this tiger, let's go back to Xudu together, follow me to Xutian over there to hunt..."
Gongsun Zhi smiled.
The two of them talked for a while and began to walk back. When they were about to part, Cao Cao on the other side suddenly asked, "What do you think about Liu Bei, Gongsun?"
"I don't know about Liu Bei, but his subordinate Guan and Zhang are still quite brave."
"Yeah, I get it."
The two sides bowed each other, and soon, they left and left with their respective guards to return to the tent. However, they knew in their hearts that all this was based on the removal of Yuan Shao, a behemoth, and it was not very meaningful to talk more about it now.
The night is still deep, the stars in the sky are shining brightly, and the barracks are still refreshing after celebration. The patrol crowds are like weaving, like lines passing through different places, intertwining, and then extending in different directions, becoming a complex fate.
After dawn, the infantry and cavalry united the troops, and a large number of surrendered soldiers were rolled into death camps. Behind was Cao Cao's central army of more than 40,000 people, and Gongsun Zhi's 10,000 cavalry on the left and right, forming a real army. The order to pull the camp to fight reached the lower level. Nearly 70,000 troops began to advance eastward and rushed towards Xia Pi.
On April 17th, morning light rose to the clouds, and thousands of Bingzhou cavalry finally rushed into the military camp outside Xiapi City to station. Lu Bu and his generals entered the city gate. The news of the defeat spread soon, and the clouds of war finally enveloped the city.
On the city tower, Hao Meng, dressed in armor, looked at Wen Hou who was running into the city, and did not feel happy because of his return. In his gloomy face, under the city wall, someone was covered in dust. He passed the stairs and stopped after coming up to the city, stuffed a message into the hands of a soldier, and whispered something.
Before he knew it, when Hao Meng noticed the other side, the soldiers who received the message came over and conveyed the message to him, and he looked at it.
"You go quietly to take the man in the cell and hide it. I will see him in the evening. Remember not to let others know." Hao Meng whispered, and then he continued to patrol the city with the hilt of the sword, but his palms were covered in cold sweat.
This will be his boldest decision in his life.
