The book is picked up again.

"......" After listening to the words of the Yuan family master, all the family heads fell into deep thought.

After a while......

"Good!!" I don't know who applauded first, and everyone else echoed it......

"Brother Yuan is worthy of being the leader of our group, Qi Xin is really keen, we admire it!"

"That's right! Brother Yuan......"

"Brother Yuan is amazing......"

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the sound of sycophants like a tidal wave.

"......" After hearing these sycophants, the head of the Yuan family was full of powerlessness!

He knew that if his idea was not reliable just now, what he heard now would not be a sycophant, but a scolding sound that shook the sky!

He can see that each of these family heads lives for their own interests!

Once they harm their interests, then they will immediately attack in groups!

Of course, if they can take care of their interests, then they will not be stingy!

Thinking of this, the head of the Yuan family waved his hand weakly, suppressed the sound of sycophants, and said: "Everyone, since you have agreed, then without further ado, the old man will go to Cao Cao to return the military power!" ”

As soon as he had said that, he stood up and went to the outsider, he really didn't want to hear those flattering words again!

After everyone heard the words of the Yuan family master, they didn't say much.

Anyway, what the Yuan family master did was beneficial to them, so they just let it go.

Just as the head of the Yuan family was walking towards Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Cao was chatting with Li Zhi in his mansion.

"Brother Meng De, why do you have to stay in your mansion?

The mansion under you and your mansion are only a few hundred meters apart, you want to see you below, just a few more steps to arrive, why bother? ”

That's right, since Li Zhi gave advice to Cao Cao that day, Cao Cao left Li Zhi behind!

Of course. He didn't forcibly leave Li Zhi behind, but directly grabbed Li Zhi's arm, and hugged him with a dead face.

Li Zhi had no choice but to stay in Cao Cao's mansion, and this stay was a month's time!

"Since the mansion of the virtuous brother is not far from here, then why do you have to go back? Isn't it good to stay here as a brother?

If you have anything you want, just tell your brother, as long as you have it, you will never be stingy! ”

In fact, Cao Cao couldn't help it, since he found out that the people under his command were not so caring, he felt that he couldn't do without Li Zhi.

Compared with those strategists under Cao Cao's command who are helpless in case of trouble, but each has their own small abacus, as Cao Cao's friend and resourceful Li Zhi, this is too much in line with Cao Cao's mind.

If it were possible, he would want to tie Li Zhi to his mansion!

Because he found that no matter what happened, as long as Li Zhiluo thought about it, he could come up with a solution, and sometimes he could even come up with several solutions!

This wit, while Cao Cao admired, was even more inseparable from Li Zhi!

"......" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he was helpless, so he could only nod weakly and said, "Okay, then stay in Brother Mengde's mansion for a while longer."

However, let's say that after the matter of the princes disturbing the realm has passed, Brother Meng De will have to go home! ”

Li Zhi has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, isn't it good to face those warm jade soft fragrances every day? He didn't want to look at Cao Cao's ugly face in Cao Cao's mansion all day long!

"Okay, okay! Virtuous brother who follows all actions! Cao Cao nodded again and again after hearing Li Zhidi's words.

In fact, he left Li Zhi here for another purpose, that is, to deal with urgent matters!

The family controls the hundreds of thousands of troops, which really makes Cao Cao's heart a little hairy, and he can't sleep well!

And Cao Cao knew that the family, including their army. Afraid of Li Zhi from the bones!

That's why he left Li Zhi in his mansion, in order to let Li Zhi take his thousands of guards to quell the chaos in case the family really turned against him!

According to Li Zhi's prestige and reputation in the family, he will definitely be able to calm down the rebellion easily!

And once the family rebelled, it would be more beneficial for Cao Cao to put down the rebellion earlier, so Cao Cao would leave Li Zhi here with a dead face.

Only in this way can Cao Cao sleep peacefully!

"Report ......" Just as Cao Cao and Li Zhi were talking, the voice of the herald came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

After the herald pushed the door in, he clasped his fists at the escape and reported: "Lord Qiqi, the head of the Yuan family is asking to see you outside!" ”

"Oh?" When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand, "Hurry up, please!" ”

After the herald left, Cao Cao said to Li Zhi on the side with some excitement: "Brother Xingzhi, it looks like it's about to start!" ”

"It's finally begun!" After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he nodded with some emotion and said, "I've been planning for so long, whether it's success or failure depends on the past few days!" ”

"......" Cao Cao suddenly fell silent after hearing Li Zhi's words.

To be honest, he didn't know if it would work.

That army of the family is really useless! There was not much deterrence against other princes.

If they can threaten those princes, it's okay to say, if they can't threaten, do they really want to lose with the other princes?

"Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry" Xu saw the worry in Cao Cao's heart, and after Li Zhi chuckled, he comforted: "If this law fails, then I will casually send a general to disguise himself as a bandit and go to the territory of other princes to burn, kill and loot!" ”

"This ......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words of comfort, he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a stunned face: "Isn't Brother Xingzhi unwilling to do this himself?" Why ...... it now?"

"Of course I don't want to, but it's not impossible!" After Li Zhi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he said: "If the family really can't deter the other princes, will we watch the soldiers and horses of the other princes burn and loot on our territory?"

This is absolutely not a no-go!

Therefore, when it was really time to be forced to be helpless, I could only take action in person!

At that time, although they knew that it was the army below, as long as they did not admit it, even if the people of the world secretly guessed, they would not scold the subordinates in the open.

In this way, although it will also have a certain impact on the reputation of Zaixia, it will not be fatal! ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "But this method can only be used when you are forced to be helpless!"

If you haven't been cornered, you really don't want to ruin your reputation, let alone attack those unarmed ordinary people! ”

"......" After Cao Cao heard Li Zhidi's words, he nodded silently and didn't say anything, but he valued Li Zhi more in his heart!

Cao Cao was silent, and Li Zhi didn't speak again, because if he really let him attack the common people, he would not be happy in his heart.

This does not mean that he is soft-hearted, but that he disdains to deal with those who are defenseless!

While the two were silent, the herald walked in with the original family.

After the head of the Yuan family came to the hall, he immediately noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall, and couldn't help but shudder.

Then he quickly rectified the emotions in his heart, saluted Cao Cao respectfully, and said, "Duke Cao, the princes have already begun to move, do we want to return the color?" ”

"Oh" Cao Cao heard this, and after calmly responding, he said expressionlessly: "Since the enemy has already made a move, then you don't have to be polite, just do it immediately!" In addition......"

When he said this, he paused for a moment, then looked at the Yuan family master with a calm gaze, and said, "Since you have taken refuge in Gu, and you will also control an army under Gu's command after this, you can also be regarded as Gu's command."

So, isn't it time for you to change your name for Lone? ”

"......" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family stiffened.

Then he raised his head and looked at Cao Cao, and had the heart to refuse, but in the face of Cao Cao's calm gaze, he was scared back when he came to his mouth.

At this time, the Yuan family master's face was covered with sweat, and his face became very pale.

Of course he knew what Cao Cao meant, Cao Cao was making him surrender!

And Cao Cao was warning him in disguise that if he wanted to control that army, he had to surrender to Cao Cao, otherwise, it would be impossible to control that army!

After thinking about it, the head of the Yuan family refused in his heart, although he only changed the title, but in these years, the title can represent everything!

Once he opened his mouth to call Cao Cao the lord, then he became Cao Cao's retainer!

Others are okay, but he is the patriarch of the Yuan family, if he calls Cao Cao the lord, it means that he led the entire Yuan family to join Cao Cao's forces, and he joined as a retainer!

In other words, as long as he called out this lord, then Cao Cao had the right to kill and take away the entire Yuan family!

"Gong Cao......" After the head of the Yuan family was silent for a while, he called Cao Cao, opened his mouth, and said unwillingly: "Presumably Cao Gong also knows that the old man does not represent an individual, but the entire Yuan family!"

If the old man called, how could the family let the old man go?

So ......"

Speaking of this, the head of the Yuan family looked at Cao Cao with hopeful eyes, and asked cautiously, "Can you not call it?" ”

"Humph!" When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly with a displeased face and asked, "What do you think?!"

Look at the generals who can lead the troops alone, which one of them doesn't call Lone the lord? Why are you the only exception?! ”

"How can this be the same?!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, the head of the Yuan family immediately shook his head, and said with a firm face: "Those civil ministers and military generals under the command of Duke Cao are all single, and of course there is no problem for them to worship Duke Cao.

But what the old man represents is the Yuan family, and the Yuan family needs face, so the old man ......"

"Don't say anything about the face of the family!" Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice with a displeased face: "......"
