Cao Cao sat in the center, Xi Zhicai was on the left, Ren Jun was on the right, and the three of them talked and laughed.

Xi Zhicai designed, Ren Jun executed, Mrs. Lu bowed her head to courtiers, and with the help of the Heavenly Master and Daoists, she staged a heavenly fire to burn the city, burning Liu Yan's ambitions, burning all the thorns on Cao Cao's march, and letting him march all the way, almost encountering any decent resistance, and easily occupied Chengdu. At this point, Liu Yan's defeat has been decided, even if he refuses to give up, he has no strength to fight back, not to mention that he has gangrene on his back, and his illness is getting worse day by day, and there are not many days left.

Ren Jun admires the means of drama Zhicai very much. He is the specific executor, and he has seen Mrs. Lu step by step into the trap and cannot extricate himself. The wife of the heir, who called for wind and rain in front of thousands of heavenly masters and Taoists, had no power to fight back in front of the situation of drama Zhicaibu, and she was bound.

"The means of sacrificing wine, ghosts and gods are invincible." Ren Jun picked up his wine glass and once again expressed his admiration to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai picked up the wine glass, took a sip, smiled and waved his hand. "Ghosts and gods, the mystical is unfathomable, the saints rarely say, what can some foolish men and foolish women understand, they can only deceive the ignorant people. Those who govern the country should make good use of ghosts and gods and not use them for ghosts and gods, and our opponents are never those ghosts and gods who cannot be seen or touched, but people. ”

Xi Zhicai said, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and said meaningfully: "Envoy, what do you say?" ”

Cao Cao grinned and laughed twice. He drank it all from the cup and said with a smile: "What Zhicai said is very true. Our opponents are not ghosts and gods but people, Yuan Benchu of Jizhou, Sun Bofu of Yuzhou, and the most urgent at the moment is Zhou Gongjin of Jingzhou. Although this son is young and not as sharp as Sun Bofu, the so-called great ingenuity is not worked, and his means of attacking the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be underestimated, which is comparable to the means of Zhicai. And who is Liu Yan? Perversely, indiscriminately killing innocents, we have already lost the heart of the state Shishu, and defeat can be expected, we are just pushing him, and it is not enough to defeat him. ”

He raised his glass and greeted Xi Zhicai. "Of course, if it weren't for the means of Zhicai, casualties would be inevitable, and the combat power of the Dongzhou soldiers would still be remarkable."

Xi Zhicai held the wine glass, his face was a little displeased. "Envoy Jun, Yuan Benchu, and Sun Bofu are all fierce rivals, and Zhou Gongjin should not be underestimated, but it is not them who need to be dealt with the most at the moment, but Mrs. Lu. It went so smoothly this time, to be honest, it was beyond my expectations, and the strength of the Heavenly Master Dao was stronger than I imagined. Mrs. Lu was not well prepared for a while, and she was taken advantage of by me, and she must be dissatisfied in her heart, she wants to see you, I am afraid it will not be as simple as surrendering, you have to be prepared. ”

Ren Jun nodded in agreement. If it is said that the Son of Heaven has the appearance of Zhongxing in Chang'an is only the external situation and has a limited ability to influence, then what really determines the hearts of the people of Yizhou is actually two parts: one is the Yizhou scholars, and the other is the ordinary people of Yizhou. The former has nostalgia for the imperial court, and was killed too hard by Liu Yan, and has already separated from Liu Yan, but the latter is the key to this success. Although Mrs. Lu was forced by the situation and had to bow down to her orders, she did not give in, she wanted to see Cao Cao herself, so she naturally had to have a choice.

The Heavenly Master Dao can help Cao Cao defeat Liu Yan, and they can also help others defeat Cao Cao. Compared with Liu Yan, Cao Cao has advantages, but the disadvantages are equally obvious. The Cao family is not from a high background, has an emasculating background, and is unlikely to be supported by Yizhou scholars. If he can't control the Heavenly Master Dao, it may not be easier for Cao Cao to truly master Yizhou than Liu Yan.

The difficulties were great, but Cao Cao looked a little carried away, and Xi Zhicai hinted that he was useless, so he could only speak bluntly to his face. But apart from being a little embarrassed, Cao Cao's face didn't have much vigilance.

This made Ren Jun a little uneasy in addition to joy.

——

Cao Cao took Cao Anmin onto Mrs. Lu's boat.

Mrs. Lu changed into a white dress, without powder, with a plain face facing the sky, with green hair, without a single ornament, just very casually pulled up and pinned with a hairpin. Against the backdrop of green mountains and green waters, she looks like a small jasper on a trip, and she can't see the majesty of the Heavenly Master and the Lady of the Daoist at all.

Cao Cao only glanced at it, and his mind drifted like the river, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself. His gaze swept over Mrs. Lu's delicate body, and he couldn't help but complain about Ren Junlai. Mrs. Lu was tall, looking to be at least seven feet, but she was sitting crookedly, and if she stood up, she would probably be half a head taller than him.

"Madame is so bright, she is really a fairy." Cao Cao forced a smile.

Mrs. Lu looked at Cao Cao twice, pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a bit of girlish shyness. "The general has won the award, and he doesn't dare to be it. What a god, I'm just a hard-working woman who has lost her husband, has no support, and can only rely on her two sons for her life. The general is valued by the Son of Heaven, sits on one side, has millions of soldiers, ascends to the heights, and Yizhou responds, that is the real hero. can have a township party like the general, and my Zhang family will have something to rely on in the future. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, and unconsciously straightened his waist. "Madame's words are serious, I can take Yizhou so easily, first, the fire of the Han is not extinguished, and the people are thinking about the Han; The second is that his wife helped him and burned Liu Yan's ambition with a heavenly fire. Madame can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is gratifying. ”

Cao Cao said as he looked at Mrs. Lu, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became. This Mrs. Lu not only has girlish and tight skin, no wrinkles can be seen on the smooth jade surface, but also has the plump maturity of the woman, and her convex and concave figure makes people think about it. He knew that Zhang Lu was in his early twenties, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Lu should be in her thirties and less than forty, but the woman in front of her did not look like a woman in her thirties and forties at all, and even Bian was slightly inferior compared to her. Compared with ordinary beautiful women, she is a little more mysterious.

No wonder Liu Yan was fascinated by her.

Cao Cao's eyes all fell on Mrs. Lu's eyes, and she sighed secretly in her heart, but the smile on her face was even sweeter. "The general said so, the concubine still has a chance to atone for the crime?"

"Of course, of course." Hearing the word "concubine", Cao Cao's heart jumped inexplicably, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. What if she is Mrs. Heishi, how tall she is, now her life and death are in my hands, her son Zhang Wei is still in my hands, I want to kill it, I can let it go, she can only beg me, meek as a lamb.

A husband can't be without power for a day.

"So, my son Zhang Lu won't be implicated?"

"Absolutely not. Zhang Gongqi was very satisfied with the court, but he was worried about the safety of his wife, so he was not rewarded in time. The day of the good news to Chang'an, it was the time when Zhang Gongqi became an official and became a knight. ”

"Then when can I see my son Zhang Wei?" Mrs. Lu smiled brightly, and her eyes also fluttered, full of spring like a river.

"Well, I'm going to discuss it with my wife." Cao Cao stroked his beard and deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, but his eyes were reluctant to leave Mrs. Lu for a moment. "Some people say that the Heavenly Master Tao and the Yellow Turban have the same name but are actually the same, and there are many implications, and there are not many people in the DPRK and China who regard them as anti-party. Madame helped me to benefit the state, of course, there is merit, but if I want to change the prejudice of the ministers of the DPRK and China, this credit alone is not enough. Madam, I came alone today just to have an in-depth exchange with Madame about this, I don't know what Madame thinks? ”

Facing Cao Cao's straight eyes, two red clouds appeared on Mrs. Lu's face. She dodged her eyes twice, lowered her head, and spoke like a gnat.

"What a concubine woman can know, everything depends on the general's orders."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and rubbed his hands excitedly. "Madame!"
