Dahan, Yanzhou, Dongjun, Puyang City.

I don't know when it started, the plaque in front of the gate of the Taishou Mansion originally located in Puyang City was replaced with the State Thorn History Mansion, and then I don't know why the plaque of the State Thorn History Mansion was taken off.

From the plaque of the Taishou Mansion to the Prefecture Thorn History Mansion, this kind of thing is not surprising, because compared to the original Yanzhou Thorn History Office Shanyang County Changyi County, although Puyang is also at the forefront of the front, but it only needs to resist the pressure from the south, unlike Changyi, not only needs to resist the two-way attack of Yuan Shu's army from the west and the south, but also has to worry about the Tao Qian army behind it.

Although Cao Cao's army was strong, it was defeated by Sun Ce, who was like the reincarnation of the overlord, and several major generals were either damaged or seriously injured, and Yan zhòng affected morale, even if he regained some confidence from Tao Qianjun led by Cao Bao, but it was just a matter of masturbation, and by the way, the morale of the army would not reach the point of collapse.

Not to mention that Cao Cao had been a Dunqiu order for a period of time in the past, and he was more familiar with the area around Dongjun, and when the Yellow Turban Army rose again in the early peace period, Cao Cao's heroic appearance in Dongjun not only contributed to his stay in Yanzhou, but also made the people of Dongjun and some powerful people support him stronger.

In addition, Puyang is also closer to Yuan Shao and Li Shushi's territory than Changyi, and it is easy to get support from both sides.

Now that Tao Qian is dead, the situation in the Central Plains has changed dramatically, which is not something difficult to see for people of insight in the world, and Yuan Shu has turned his main attention from Cao Cao, who is still stubbornly resisting, to Xuzhou, which seems to be more accessible.

Even Sun Ce, who made Cao Cao's army change his color, was also sent to the territory of Xiapi State. It seems to be forcing Xuzhou to make a statement. However, some people in the industry also noticed that Yuan Shujun seemed to have signs of concentrating his forces on the border of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County in Yangzhou, and even Sun Ce, who seemed to be intent on Xuzhou, seemed to point to Yangzhou from afar when he tasted it.

Obviously, for the land of Yangzhou, which is now in a state of endless fighting, Yuan Shu seems to be no longer satisfied with simply supporting one or two agents to carry out some kind of agent war, and it is better to eat it in his own mouth.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Cao Cao, who has recovered his breath, intends to launch a counterattack at this time, but it is really not a wise move to prepare to change the governance of Yanzhou Assassin Shi again before anything is settled.

People who don't know the inside story explain the removal of the plaque of the Yanzhou Assassin's Mansion in this way, and even those who opposed Cao Cao's Yanzhou family and the Haoqiang who were damaged by Cao Cao's drastic reforms secretly incited people's dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, and for a while, children's songs and ballads against Cao Cao could be heard everywhere in the street market. Let ordinary people have a sense of fear that the mountain rain is coming.

So why is Cao Cao so eager to move and change houses?

Let's enter the official residence in Puyang City, which should theoretically be uninhabited.

"Zhao Nan. Do you think this Cao Mengde is worthy of our trust? In the past, Dong Xiangguo seemed to attach great importance to this person, but he never thought that he would make a rebellious move, and he was one of the people who later called on the princes of the world to raise troops. And because I was in a hurry, I lacked something to prove my identity. Stay here. I always felt like I was living in a cage. ”

"Then what do you think is compared to the cage in Chang'an. How does the cage feel here. ”

"Haha, it's a little small, huh. It's too small compared to Chang'an...... However, compared to Chang'an, there is a little more freedom. ”

"Yes, it's like the original Li Zhoumu, who also started with the Xihe River, which is controlled by only a quarter of the Han people."

"But the owner here is not me, and it is not destined to be me, and some of my ideas may also bring contradictions and strife."

"Do you remember what we said on the road when we talked about the future?"

"But Dong Xiangguo once said that without a strong leader, the country will become chaotic, but if the country has two or more leaders alive, then the country will also fall into chaos."

"But...... Hey, I'm afraid I am not qualified to say some things in my capacity. As long as you are willing to remember our agreement, if you have any requests, I will do my best to fulfill them. ”

I remember, of course, I can even remember the excited smile I had with the other person during the discussion.

However, when I calmed down, I couldn't help but wonder, is it really possible for those fantasies that have been discussed to come true?

Zhao Nan didn't know when he had retreated, leaving him alone to stand quietly in the study that was gradually shrouded in shadows, and then the excited expression on his face gradually calmed down.

In fact, I am still a little unwilling, just like a puppet, even if I fulfill the ambition in my heart, but in the history books, I will only mention the names of those loyal ministers and famous generals. And he may only be mentioned when a certain minister with high merit dies, and then he will be caricatured by the most scathing strokes, and become a mediocre person who will be ridiculed by future generations.

Are you really inferior to those people?

The young man, who was still very immature but stubborn, couldn't help but ask himself, and suddenly, his cheeks were occupied by two kelp-shaped tear stains.

How could he be compared to those people, at least he didn't have the courage to gallop on the battlefield at a young age, and then take an expedition with less than half the number of the enemy, let alone think of how to climb the heights and respond to the shadow of the followers.

And even the few people who longed for themselves often had to face all kinds of distress and troubles. even made some crazy and rebellious actions in the eyes of outsiders because of this, and was ridiculed by the world.

However, I tried to do it a little bit, and although I thought it was a little ridiculous, why did I feel a little happy from the bottom of my heart?

Sure enough, as the man said: since you don't know how to face the road ahead, smile at it.

At least. It's better to infect others with a smile than to keep a straight face all day and still can't solve the problem.

Perhaps, I can also give it a try and find a way to make myself happy and let the smile spread to everyone.

After a long time.

In the garden pavilion in the back garden of the original Yanzhou Thorn Mansion.

The afterglow of the setting sun still struggled tenaciously in the sky, rolling up a few traces of pathos, but it still couldn't hide the remnant sun that seemed to be bleeding, adding a layer of blood to all the scenes in front of him.

There were only three people in the garden pavilion at this time, and one was a few shorter.

Man is a man and two women; On the low table were three snacks that didn't look very distinctive, and a few porcelain bottles used to hold wine. There is also a sword that is hidden in an ornate scabbard and I don't know what its quality is.

The man sat upright on the low table. The left hand is stacked on top of each other, and the right hand raises the wine bottle from time to time. At this time, a young woman next to her would raise the wine bottle in her hand and pour the liquid into the wine bottle. Then Shi Shiran stepped aside. Quietly waiting for the next request of the man in front of him.

Both women looked like they were in their prime of life. The whole body exudes the youthful beauty that is unique to the cardamom years, and the well-cut tunic skirt adds a bit of the charm unique to women.

These are two beautiful flower butterflies. It's hard to ignore their beauty when you see them.

But unfortunately, no matter how much the beautiful flowers and butterflies spread their wings and danced, they could only add a touch of sadness to the blood-colored scenery in the sunset, like the dark red liquid that was constantly poured into the wine bottle from the wine bottle.

It was sweet but like red blood, and it reminded people of the elixir of extraterritorial heavenly demons at first sight.

One cup, another cup, and another cup.

Unconsciously, five porcelain vases had become empty, and the man who had been sitting there on his knees, showing good upbringing, seemed to be a little drunk, his body was constantly shaking slightly, and his eyes were a little hazy when he looked at the two maids.

And a bit of lewdness.

But the girls didn't seem to care, no, judging from their more and more presumptuous approach to the man, it was already clear what they were thinking in their hearts at this time, and the laughter like silver bells also added a bit of temptation.

It may not be long before the shame of human beings will be put aside and a big discussion about the way humans reproduce.

But at this moment, a footstep that was not too heavy but was exceptionally loud in this quiet atmosphere sounded.

Hearing this sudden voice, the man did not show anything, but the two maids, like frightened birds, with a panicked expression on their faces, hurried away from the man, and regained their standing where they were supposed to stand.

"Ah, it's Aiqing here, do you have time to drink with me, an idler, the scenery before sunset is still very good."

The man raised the bottle in his hand, with the usual somewhat foolish smile on his face.

The rhythm of the footsteps was not affected in any way by the man's words, it was still so steady, with a sense of oppression, even if the owner who had not seen the footsteps had already sketched an image full of majesty in his heart.

"Ah, what a tall and majestic man full of majesty, people will have the feeling of 'this son is extraordinary' when they see it."

"Your Majesty, Cao is not tall enough, nor is he powerful enough, so I'm really sorry."

The man, ah no, it is a big man who has been missing for a few months, and Liu Xie, the son of today, looked at Cao Cao who had already knelt on his knees outside the garden pavilion with a pair of hazy drunken eyes, and a trace of unpredictable light flashed in his eyes.

The two maids who were far away from Liu Xie couldn't see it, and Cao Cao, who was bowing his head outside the pavilion, couldn't see it either.

"I really didn't expect that Cao Aiqing's house would hide such a fine wine, but it's a pity that there is no corresponding food, otherwise under such a beautiful day, I can ask Cao Aiqing to write an article for the widow, maybe it can be praised to the world."

"Chen, Cao Mengde, dare to guess what His Majesty is thinking at this time."

Cao Cao, who lowered his head and didn't look at Liu Xie, did not answer Liu Xie's words, but spoke to himself, and the rolling aura emanating from him made even the two maids in the distance feel the illusion of being stared at by a fierce beast, and the cold that penetrated the body made the two weak girls couldn't help but tremble, and they almost fell to the ground.

"This person named Cao Mengde is probably as disrespectful and disloyal as the person named Dong Zhuo." Keep your head up. Cao Cao's eyes shot a sharp light, "You probably think so, it seems to be understandable." ”

"Do you want to say you're not like that?" With a mocking smile on his face, Liu Xie responded lightly.

"On the surface, I promise to support me, but in fact, I intend to realize my ambitions. You, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao...... You probably all have that in mind. ”

"Ambition...... If you think this is an ambition, then as you say, I Cao Mengde do have such ambitions. ”

The light projected from the falcon-like eyes became sharper, and people did not dare to look at them. Even Liu Xie, who is a titular Ninety-Five Venerable, also felt the momentum like Dong Zhuo from the man who was not burly or heroic, and had dark and somewhat rough skin, although there were slight differences in subtleties. But no less profound.

made a comparison with the Cao Mengde who I vaguely remembered in my memory. Liu Xie really found it hard to believe that such a big change could happen in one body. But he thought of Dong Zhuo, the man who once despised the world, in the days before his life was ended...... Sure enough, with the change of the external environment, there will be great changes in itself.

Then he Liu Xie. This emperor of the Han Dynasty. What will become of the passage of time?

Liu Xie was a little distracted. I didn't even notice that Cao Cao was also there to make his own "speech":

"Man is driven by desire and deceives his heart. If the desires of the heart are not regulated, the world will be chaotic. What today's troubled times show. It is the evolution of this situation. Therefore, the minister believes that this is not to be allowed to be laissez-faire. I want to use my strength to control and use the law to regulate people's hearts and desires, so as to redirect the world to the right path.

The above is the ambition of the minister Cao Mengde. ”

"Use power and law to guide...... No, it's to create a new world? Liu Xie seemed to be emotional, and it seemed that he was just following his ears to catch the wind and catch shadows, which made people feel that he was not distracted but listening carefully.

"As it should be." As if recognized, the sharp light in the eagle's eyes softened, and the worry that had been hidden well turned into joy and excitement that could not be concealed.

In the final analysis, this man kneeling in front of the emperor is just a small prince who is barely supported by the forces of several major princes, and even in the eyes of most people in the world, he is a vassal of Yuan Shaojun, and a strong independent subordinate sent by Yuan Shao to Yanzhou, even if he has lofty ambitions and the ability to act to realize his ambitions, how many people really believe that this man has the ability to do this?

Now being able to obtain the affirmation of the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him is undoubtedly a special effect for Cao Cao.

Well, in fact, at first, he had 120,000 doubts about this young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, even with Cao Ren's assurance and the impression that he had seen the little emperor in front of him with his own eyes, he still couldn't dispel the doubts in his heart.

On the one hand, it is because the emperor's age is in a period of rapid growth, and his appearance has changed quite a lot from a few years ago, and there is nothing to prove his identity and enough heavyweight people on his body. On the other hand, it is because Cao Cao suspects that there is a big conspiracy behind the young man in front of him who claims to be the son of today.

Otherwise, why would the emperor choose a prince like him, who really seems to be nothing?

Whether it is Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, they are much more reliable than themselves.

Well, this is definitely not Cao Cao's self-indulgence, it's just that his suspicious personality is attacking.

However, Cao Ren knew Zhao Nan, another high-quality product from Zhaojia Village, which was as famous as Zhao Xin, and then thought of the concerns about how to deal with the emperor mentioned in his correspondence with his younger brother Cao Chun, so he strongly proved Liu Xie's identity to Cao Cao.

And after many days of temptation, there is the appearance of Cao Cao, who is sharp and eager to be recognized by the other party.

And the result, it seems good?

"At the top of the world, there needs to be a symbol of inoffensive power and law, that is, you need to be your majesty."

Because of the recognition, Cao Cao seems to be planning to pay the same recognition, after all, the signboard of the Han Emperor is still very useful at this time, after all, the Han Dynasty has accumulated power for more than 400 years, and some marks can not be erased by leisure.

"Rather than dreaming of the end of troubled times, perhaps it would be more interesting to fight with you...... Then Cao Mengde, as my courtier, guide the world to the right path. ”

"Obey."

Although he looked like a drunkard, Cao Cao still didn't treat the uncrowned man in front of him who might only be called a boy with the eyes of ordinary people, because the other party was the emperor, because the other party was the emperor who could survive Dong Zhuo's hands.

Cao Cao hadn't dealt with Dong Zhuo before, so he was more aware of the hidden energy in the body of the emperor in front of him.

And from the conversation just now, Cao Cao also "clearly" felt that this emperor's mind was obviously far beyond his physical age.

Hopefully, they will be able to fulfill their ideals as they have just done in the dialogue.

Then, he, Cao Mengde, doesn't mind becoming a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Just like the original executor of the domineering, the monarch from the Eastern Qi Kingdom, the king of the world of the princes of Jiuhe!

But just when Cao Cao was secretly thinking about it, a voice familiar to him sounded in his ears.

"Mengde, I heard that your level of governance is very high, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Since the weather is so good today, why don't we find a 'good place' to play, ah~"

Cao Cao was surprised.

Cao Cao was stunned.

Cao Cao, frustrated and bent forward......

It seems that today is destined to be an extraordinary day.

Pan Sen: Mr. Wu Qingyuan, the master of Go, has passed away, his life has been bumpy, but also brilliant, this is a true master of Go. We won't say much about the superfluous, because that's all blasphemy against the master. (To be continued......)
