Although Cao Cao's words were frank, he still had reservations, and did not tell Yuan Shaohe what he thought in his heart.

Even so, Yuan Shao was still relieved after hearing this, as if he had unloaded a piece of heart, and let out a sigh of relief, a few wisps of blood appeared on his stiff and pale cheeks, and his complexion improved significantly.

Obviously, the death of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was like a boulder pressing on Yuan Shao's heart, making him breathless and unable to turn over. Like a fish in his throat and like a man's back, he was tortured, and he has been haunted by it, and he has never forgotten it for a moment.

Now Cao Cao finally said a fair word and stood by his side. This made Yuan Shao feel very relieved, and also removed a big stone that was pressed on his heart, and his tense heart was slightly soothed and relaxed.

"For more than two years, Meng De was the first person to believe in me, Yuan Shao. Although many people have said the same thing in front of me, I don't believe them, but I believe Mengde's words! Yuan Shao, whose expression had improved slightly, spoke in a significantly louder voice at this time, and his tone was aggravated.

After Cao Cao heard this, instead of getting better, his mood became heavier, and he was secretly ashamed and even a little remorseful. Because he didn't tell Yuan Shao the truth, he had reservations about what he said just now. He was worried that once today's words spread out and fell into Li Li's ears, it would be very unfavorable to him, and even provoke Li Lixing's guilt or open crusade. It is precisely with this concern that Cao Cao deliberately concealed it, but it can be regarded as a manifestation of his own attitude, and the overall meaning is still expressed.

"Brother Benchu is serious. After Liu Xie's violent death, in fact, many princes knew that he could never have been killed by his first brother. And the killing of the donkey is even more nonsense, purely someone is trying to confuse the public. Take the opportunity to frame the original brother in order to achieve his ulterior motives. And the person most likely to do this is Xiliang Li Li. Perhaps because he felt guilty in his heart, Cao Cao said everything he thought at this moment.

I saw Yuan Shao's look of listening. Cao Cao paused for a moment, and then said: "In fact, it is easy to see the flaws in this matter, although Li Li covers it up well, he still can't hide the truth of the matter. Just imagine, before the first brother arrived, Liu Xie and the hundred officials had always been in Li Li's hands, and the scouts and meticulous work of the Xiliang Army were almost pervasive. The ability to block news and the speed of probing military intelligence are above all the princes in the world, and they are really the first of the group. In addition, Li Li has strong strength and many soldiers and horses. In particular, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is 300 miles in the day and 200 miles in the night, and it is a well-known cavalry army in the world.

Since then, Li Li has not only meticulous works all over the world, but also a first-class scout team. There is also the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that marches into the speed. Under such a tight lockdown. How could Liu Xie and the other officials escape from Chang'an and return to Luoyang without danger?

However, the fact is that Liu Xie and the hundred officials have escaped. What does this mean? There is no doubt that this qiē shows that the reason why Liu Xie and the hundred officials successfully escaped from Chang'an and returned to Luoyang was all because Li Li deliberately let them back, or that this qiē was a huge conspiracy that Li Li had already planned, just waiting for us and other forces to go and fight and take the initiative to jump into the middle.

If this was just speculation. Then now everything is clear. The fact in front of us is that no matter which way the princes snatch the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials. The result will be just like the original brother now, spurned by the world, pointed out by thousands of people, and the word of the people, and finally ended up with a reputation for disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice. The most important thing is that now the people who know the inside story have all died one after another, and there is no proof of death, so that the matter can never be clarified, the truth is completely buried, and it will never be revealed to the world.

So?????? Ay! Li Li has always been meticulous and meticulous, everything he does is impeccable, his methods are vicious, and he does not leave hidden dangers at all. Before the words fell, Cao Cao sighed and sighed, looking quite helpless, as if he had the intention to help Yuan Shao clear his name of murdering the monarch and plotting rebellion, but there was nothing he could do, and he had more than enough strength to do it. It can only be lamented in vain, that's all.

I have to say that Cao Cao is indeed a scheming person, with quick thinking and excellent wisdom. A lot of speculation he said is almost the same as the "truth", the only deviation is that not all princes are qualified to snatch Liu Xiehe and Baiguan, and the only princes who are really qualified to compete are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Otherwise, Li Li would definitely not sit idly by, let alone sit back and watch his plan fall through.

Therefore, from a certain Cheng dù, Yuan Shao was a substitute for Cao Cao. Otherwise, maybe it is not Yuan Shao who is in danger at this moment, but Cao Mengde.

In addition, Cao Cao knew that Liu Xie's death had many doubts, but he still joined the Yuan Alliance for the first time, and did his best to attack Qingzhou, and now he has already snatched Qingzhou into his hands and took it for himself. grabbed Yuan Shao's territory without mercy, and at this moment he was still ashamed to speak out in front of Yuan Shaoming and wantonly provoked. What is Cao Cao's intentions, it is indeed worth scrutinizing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ill-intentioned.

Perhaps, this is related to the southern expedition of Li Li's army.

Since the beginning of winter, the war in the north has been forced to stop and truce, but Li Li did not stop, but led the army to the south to crusade against Huainan Yuanshu. What is particularly important is that after Li Li's southern expedition, he attacked the city all the way, and now he has besieged Yuan Shu in Shouchun City, and he will be completed in a short time.

Once Yuan Shu is defeated, then a large area of Huainan will fall into the hands of Li Li, making it more and more powerful. This is not good news for Cao Cao, because the stronger Li Li is, the more dangerous he Cao Cao becomes.

How can Cao Cao not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?

Because of this, when he received Yuan Shao's handwritten secret letter, he happily agreed without thinking about it. Immediately, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts, avoided the fine eyeliner planted by the princes of various towns in the plains, and only brought more than 100 personal soldiers after disguise, and rushed to Ganling Post Station to have a secret conversation with Yuan Shao in person at night.

This secret conversation is different from the past, and the meaning is heavy. Not only did Cao Cao attach great importance to it, but Jizhou Yuan Shao also showed twelve points of sincerity, which was that there was almost no greeting after the two met, and they treated each other directly and honestly.

At present, Yuan Shao's physical condition is undoubtedly a secretive privacy that requires a high degree of secrecy. But in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao did not hide it for a while, and told him frankly almost unreservedly, and he said it in great detail, telling Cao Cao from beginning to end. This means that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to this secret talk, full of great sincerity, and at the same time worthy of the "virtuous brother". And Cao Cao also needed to reply to Yuan Shao with full sincerity, so he speculated and revealed, although he was still careful at first, but after weighing the pros and cons, he finally told the truth, so as to win Yuan Shao's trust.

In fact, as a party and the biggest direct victim, how could he not know about these inferences or conjectures that Cao Cao said? In other words, in the matter of tracking down Liu Xie's violent death, Yuan Shao was more attentive than anyone else, eager to know the truth of the matter, and to clear his innocence. However, as Cao Cao said, when the truth surfaced, it was still useless, because those who knew the inside story and those involved in it died one after another, and the insiders who did not die were all under Li Li's account, and it was Li Liyi who was an important minister. So this is a headless case, a dark case, the truth has been completely buried underground, and it will never be revealed to the world.

However, for Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, the crime of killing the monarch and plotting rebellion is too big. Even if he could afford it himself, the Yuan family and the loyal ancestors of the Yuan family could not bear this huge crime. If this thing is really done by him, then there is nothing to say, the problem is that this matter has nothing to do with him at all, but it will make him bear the infamy of the ages, and he will be chased and attacked by the princes of various towns, spurned by the world, and criticized by the world.

To this day, there are some rumors widely circulating in the world: "The four hundred years of the Han Dynasty were all destroyed in the hands of his Yuan Shao, who was a sinner of the Han Dynasty." There is also "Yuan Shao killed the king, Yuan Shu usurped the throne, and the Yuan family was full of conspiracies to disrupt the country and rebels." ”?????? There are countless rumors like this, and they simply denounce Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to the point that they are incomplete, pigs and dogs are inferior, and even extend up to the ancestors of the Yuan family for three generations, and spread down to Yuan Shao's heirs, in short, there is no good person among the thousands of people in the Yuan family, all of them are rebellious ministers and thieves who have committed chaos and brought disaster to the country and the people.

As the saying goes, geese have left their voices, and people have left their names.

Now, Yuan Shao is in his last years, terminally ill, and is still under siege by the princes' army, and he is in danger. At this time, for Yuan Shao, what dominates one side, what dominates the world, and what fame and fame are all just fleeting and insignificant. What he can't worry about at the moment is that the Yuan family's reputation for loyalty and the future of his children is irrelevant, but he can't drag the Yuan family and his children to be implicated with him and walk on the road of no return together.

However, looking at the world, among the princes of various towns, there are only a handful of princes who dare to contact him at this time, and most of the princes are afraid to avoid him, who dares to have anything to do with him, let alone communicate in private. After counting and counting, Yuan Shao pondered it repeatedly, and finally decided to put the biggest bet in his life on Cao Cao for the last time. Only he can entrust the aftermath, and there is no one else.

?????? After a short silence, Yuan Shao said quietly: "Meng De must have heard of the war in Huainan. Not long ago, the highway (Yuan Shu) sent a letter, in which he said that the Zhong dynasty was the foundation of my Yuan family, and it could not fall into the hands of a foreign surname no matter what, because he wanted to give me the Zhong throne. I promised him, when the city of Shouchun was broken and the highway returned to heaven, I, Yuan Shao, would accept the order of heaven and ascend the throne as emperor. Then?????? Zen is located in Mengde. ”

"Ahh Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, staring at Yuan Shao with wide eyes, his face full of horror. Apparently he was frightened, and not lightly. At this moment, even if he Cao Cao is as wise as the sea and shrewd, he can't think of what Yuan Shao wants to do or what he wants him to do.

As the night deepened, the cold wind swept through the mountains and rivers, and the screaming sound of "fluttering" raged in the sky??????
