Sun Ce snorted disdainfully and sneered. At this point, he didn't need Cao Cao to remind him.

"That's what you want to say when you see me?" Sun Ce lowered his head and rubbed the hilt of the knife in appreciation.

"Not originally. It's just that although you have murderous intentions, you haven't done it for a long time, I can't help but want to remind you. Cao Cao sighed. Since you are determined to kill the Kuai family, why should you show mercy? Do you think that if you let go of those women and children, they will be grateful to you? No, they will never forget the hatred in their lifetime, they will hide in the shadows, keep an eye on you, and jump out and bite you at every opportunity. Xu Ziyuan can convince Nanyang Haoqiang, you have helped. ”

"Me?" Sun Ce pretended to be stupid.

"Hehe, don't pretend, I know you know." Cao Cao laughed. "Xiangyang and Wancheng are not far apart, there are many in-laws, you have seized the Cai family's property, which has made people uneasy, and you have killed dozens of people from the Kuai family and the Xi family one after another, although you only kill adult men, not as good as women and children, the old and weak, but in their eyes, you are no different from beasts. They didn't want to be with you, so they rebelled and refused to be outside the city. If Yuan Shu wants to retake Wancheng, there is only one way: kill you. ”

Sun Ce's heart moved, but his face remained silent. "Are you stupid to be a general? Kill me, he still wants to take Wancheng? ”

"If you think about it, it's even more dangerous."

Sun Ce was speechless, he suddenly rolled his eyes, pulled out his long knife and slashed twice. "If I kill you, will I still attack Wancheng?"

Cao Cao remained motionless. "Do you think Wancheng's military power is in my hands?"

"Uh......" Sun Ce was really a little confused, staring at Cao Cao left and right, and suddenly understood. He couldn't help laughing and put the long knife on Cao Cao's neck. "Cao Gong, I know you are bitter in your heart, so let's do it, I accept your request and help you get rid now, how about it?"

Cao Cao lowered his eyelids and looked at the cold and glistening blade. "So what are you waiting for?"

"Wait for your last words."

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the Fan Li Temple on the east side. "I've already said everything I wanted to say, and since you still want to hear it, I'll say a few more words. Do you know who the manor in the east of Fan Lici is? ”

Sun Ce smiled slightly. "Don't beat around the bush, just say it. I don't read much, I don't understand the stories. ”

"General He's former residence."

"Who?"

"He Jin, He Suigao, He General."

Sun Ce was very surprised. He knew that He Jin was from Nanyang, but he didn't know that He Jin's house was nearby. It seems that Cao Cao's choice of this place to meet was not decided casually, he had already prepared.

"So what?"

"Do you know why General He died?"

Sun Ce stared at Cao Cao and said nothing. He originally thought that he knew a lot, but after hearing Zhou Yu say about the division within the Yuan family, he was not so sure. Cao Cao used to be a staff member of He Jin's General's Mansion, and later fled with Yuan Shao, and at this time mentioning He Jin's death is certainly not as simple as recorded in the history books.

"Because he is a relative, and he comes from a poor family." Cao Cao raised his hand and gently pushed the long knife away. "In the eyes of those families, only they are worthy of ruling the world, and no one else is worthy. The eunuch is not worthy, and the relatives are not worthy, from the cold family to the relatives, one step to the sky, it is simply damned. Dou Wu deserves to die if he is a general, let alone He Jin. ”

"Dou Wu? Didn't he die at the hands of the eunuchs, Chen Fan ......"

"What is Chen Fan, just a party member from a poor family."

Sun Ce suddenly laughed, laughing loudly. He pointed his knife at Cao Cao. "I know what you're trying to say. After going around in circles for a long time, don't you just want to say that I am a child of a poor family, and it is destined to be difficult to achieve great things. Next, do you want to say that we should join hands and fight the Maison together? ”

Cao Cao straightened his sleeves. "I don't dare to have such an extravagant expectation. Wancheng is like a glass of wine to me, if you don't drink it, you will be thirsty, and if you drink it, you will definitely die. I really hope you'll kill me with one stab and let me go on my way with Miaocai. It's not seven days yet, and I should be able to catch up with him. ”

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. General Hou wants to talk to you, didn't Ding Fei tell you? ”

"My family is still in Chen, and I can't promise him." Cao Cao smiled. "Sun Bofu, although Yuan Benchu is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, as the leader of the party alliance in the world, he has to worry about some reputation. Even if I am defeated, it is a big deal to return to the countryside and read for self-entertainment. Yuan Highway is known as a ghost on the road, and he doesn't think about it that much. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. You don't understand this truth, do you? ”

Sun Ce hesitated, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He was originally very jealous of Cao Cao and wanted to kill the future Emperor Wu of Wei to prevent future troubles, but now he found that Cao Cao looked decrepit and showed no signs of overthrowing Yuan Shao. As he said, Wancheng is actually a glass of wine, if you don't drink it, you will be thirsty, and if you drink it, you will definitely die. But for their father and son, Cao Cao helped. If it weren't for Cao Cao defeating the main force led by Yuan Shu and occupying Wancheng, whether Yuan Shu would be so polite now, I'm afraid there would be a question mark.

Thinking about it further, without Cao Cao, can Yuan Shao take the Central Plains? There shouldn't be any problem. Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian were not Yuan Shao's opponents at all, and without Cao Cao, Yuan Shao would still go south to the Central Plains after occupying Hebei. Compared to Cao Cao, it was even easier for him, because those families would not oppose him at all as they opposed Cao Cao, they were originally in a group. When the time comes, it will be their Sun family's father and son who will directly face Yuan Shao. He killed Cao Cao today and helped Yuan Shao get rid of an internal trouble, but Yuan Shao would not be grateful to him, maybe he would use this incident as an excuse to kill them all.

To kill Cao Cao or not? It's a problem.

Seeing Sun Ce's eyes flickering and uncertain, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Sun Lang, you seem to be afraid of me?" There was a smile in his eyes, but there was a bit of indescribable self-deprecation.

In an instant, Sun Ce had made up his mind. He snorted and put away his long knife. "I'm afraid you'll do something. You're number one on my opponents' list, though. ”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, smiled and shook his head, his eyes bitter with a little gratitude. "Thank you."

"You are a eunuch, I am a poor family, and we can be regarded as sympathy." Sun Ce pondered for a moment. "I advise you, hurry up, you can't hold Wancheng. My father has already gone to Yuzhou, Luyang and Kunyang will soon be controlled, and you won't be able to leave if it's too late. The general hates you to the bone, and when the time comes, you will have only one way to die except surrender. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "I know, but I can't go." It's better to die in battle than to leave without a fight, and if I can hold you back, I can drag you for a day, which can be regarded as repaying the alliance leader's kindness. Wancheng is strong, I dare not say more, and it is always no problem to persist for three months. ”

"Then be whatever you want." Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, took a few steps back, and said goodbye. Cao Cao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he slowly raised his hand and returned the salute. The two looked at each other, and after a moment, smiled knowingly.

"See you in Wancheng!"
