The Guo Wei political clique has never had such a strong will and mobilization for war as it does now.

It seems that in the next second, they will gather fire to Jingzhou and do their best to burn Liu Biao's separatist forces to ashes.

However, Guo did not intend to intervene in the Jingzhou Civil War at this time, but was happy to see it happen.

He was very happy to see the civil war in Jingzhou, and used Liu Biao's hand to break the deadlock in the four counties of Jingnan, which could be regarded as selling Liu Biao a favor, and also achieving his goal by the way.

So he will not intervene in the Jingzhou Civil War.

But this atmosphere in Yecheng has already formed.

And under this atmosphere, another, more fanatical and dangerous atmosphere is gradually converging and beginning to burst out with amazing power.

The source of the outbreak of this power is Cheng Yu.

As the first subordinate of Guo Peng, Cheng Yu is Guo Peng's earliest subordinate and the earliest cronies.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he and Guo Peng became attached and fought side by side, when Guo Peng served as the captain of the Karasuma Guard, that is, in the second year of Zhongping, he took refuge in Guo Peng, and he was Guo Peng's entrepreneurial veteran with a very high status.

Although Cheng Yu is not from a high background and is from a poor family, Guo Peng does not mind Cheng Yu's background.

With the improvement of Guo Peng's own status, Cheng Yu's status was also raised to a very high level, and Cheng Yu's power and status rose all the way.

Wei State Shangshu Order.

It seems that the status is inferior to Cao Cao's Wei Guoxiang, and the degree of closeness is not as good as the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Cang, and the staff officer's left servant, Guo Jia, and the official rank is equal to the staff officer Ling Xizhong.

But no one doesn't think that Cheng Yu is the real Guo Peng's first cronie.

Guo Peng let Cheng Yu's two sons learn Guo's legal classic Xiao Dulu, and also made his eldest grandson Cheng Ke one of Guo Jin's companions, which improved the family of Dong'a Cheng, so that Cheng advanced from the humble family to the scholar clan and had a classic inheritance.

This kind of experience is unique under Guo Peng.

As a result, Cheng Yu is a well-deserved No. 1 diehard loyalist of Guo, and Cheng Yu is behind many political actions carried out by Guo.

Guo Peng expanded his territory, built the countryside to engage in tuntian, and sealed the prince and the king, etc., Cheng Yu was Guo someone's first help, in the previous actions to eradicate political enemies, Cheng Yu was also Guo someone's first thug, ruthless, known as "black-faced Cheng Lingjun" in the officialdom of Wei State.

In every political turmoil, the black-faced Cheng Lingjun is always the first person to stand up for Guo Peng in the ring, fierce and fast, he can be called the first political thug under Guo Peng, and he is also the one who carries resentment and infamy on his body.

It was like this every time before, every time, Cheng Yu stood in line and then sat on his ass.

This time was no exception.

When Guo Peng learned that the Wei army had won a complete victory in Jiangdong and that Wei Yansheng had captured Sun Quan, he called Cheng Yu to his study alone that night.

When Cheng Yu came to the outside of Guo Peng's study, he found that there were no attendants at the door of Guo Peng's study.

Of course, there was no light in the study, it was dark, and it seemed that Guo Peng was not inside.

But Cheng Yu suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

He felt as if time had gone backwards, back to the four years of Zhongping, that special night, the night when he and Guo Peng really formed a life-and-death agreement.

What happened that night, Cheng Yu often recalls it in his dreams, and what Guo Peng said that night, Cheng Yu has always remembered in his heart and never forgotten it.

Fifteen years, like a flick of a finger, what happened fifteen years ago seems to be yesterday, as if it was last night.

Is the vow of that day finally going to be fulfilled today?

Cheng Yu's heart suddenly became hot.

It's still the kind of fiery that can't be extinguished when it burns.

So Cheng Yu took a few steps forward, pushed open the door of Guo Peng's study, entered the dark room, turned around and closed the door, and then took a few steps to the right and knelt on the ground.

"Lord, Yu is here."

Cheng Yu's eyes hadn't had time to adjust to the darkness in the room, but this did not prevent him from acting, because he was sure that this was the case, and this kind of action was not strange to him at all when it appeared countless times in his dreams in the past fifteen years.

"Zhongde, you're here."

Guo Peng's voice rang out.

"Yu is here, my lord, is the wish of fifteen years ago about to come true today?"

Cheng Yu's voice trembled a little.

"Ah, it's going to come true, Zhongde, it's been fifteen years, and our wish is going to come true."

Guo Peng stood up, walked to Cheng Yu's side, and helped Cheng Yu up.

Cheng Yu's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness in the room, and he saw the outline of Guo Peng in the darkness.

"My lord, it's been fifteen years."

"Zhongde, fifteen years."

Guo Peng held Cheng Yu's hand tightly, and Cheng Yu also held Guo Peng's hand tightly.

"Fifteen years ago, I was only twenty-two years old, and now, I am thirty-seven years old, Zhongde, time is a terrible thing."

"The lord is only thirty-seven years old, and Yu ...... is sixty-one years old, and Yu is sometimes really worried that he won't be able to see that day, lord, is that day really coming? ”

"It's coming, it's really coming, it's really, it's true this time, Zhongde, I'm going to be the emperor."

Guo Peng smiled and hugged Cheng Yu fiercely.

Cheng Yu was a little stunned by this hug, and it took a while to react, but he didn't hold back, and tears welled up from his eyes.

Less leaning, Guo Peng let go of Cheng Yu and lit a candle.

The candlelight was lit, and Cheng Yu and Guo Peng could see each other's faces clearly.

Guo Peng took the candle in his hand and handed it to Cheng Yu.

"My lord, what is this?"

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled.

"Zhongde, take it and light the candles in the room."

Guo Peng opened his mouth and said: "Back then, we were all small people, I was just a captain of the Guardian Karasuma, you were just a subordinate under me, at that time, when we talked about this kind of thing, it was a fool's dream, of course, we had to be dark, and I didn't dare to let people know, but now it's different."

I am the king of Wei, you are the Shangshu order of Wei Guo, let's stomp our feet, the world will tremble, when today, no one can compete with me, everyone is a passing cloud, has disappeared, no longer exists, I am the master of the world, what else is terrible? ”

I see.

Cheng Yu smiled, took a deep breath, and nodded.

"Obey."

Cheng Yu took the candles and lit up all the candles in the room one by one, the candles lit up one by one, and the room became brighter and brighter.

When the candlelight was fully lit, the whole room was bright, and everything was so bright.

Cheng Yu returned the candle to Guo Peng with both hands, and Guo Peng took the candle and stared at it for a while.

"Zhongde, do you know why I want to be emperor so much?"

"The ambition in the heart of the lord can only be satisfied by the position of the emperor."

Cheng Yu's face was full of excitement: "Only by becoming the emperor can the lord show his ambitions, establish great achievements, be amazed, and be admired by future generations!" ”

"To do this, you don't necessarily need to be an emperor, most of the people who have left their names in history since ancient times are not emperors."

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head.

"The Lord ......"

Cheng Yu was a little puzzled, but felt that what Guo Peng said was also right, so he opened his mouth to ask and answer: "Does the lord have bigger things to do?" Can't be the emperor if he is not in the throne? ”

"You can say the same thing."

Guo Peng nodded and raised the candle in his hand: "When I was just a captain of the Guardian Karasuma, the candlelight I lit could only illuminate me alone, at most, illuminate you around me, but not more people, but when I became the emperor, the candlelight I lit could illuminate the whole world." ”
