In the camp where Cao Cao lived, his face was solemn and his eyes were filled with worry.

Below, Xi Zhicai sat upright.

Xi Zhicai asked: "Lord, what happened?"

Cao Cao clenched his fists and said slowly: "Dong Zhuo transferred Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, to Luoyang as Taichang, and then appointed Yuan Shao as the governor of Jizhou. This move was clearly a divisive plan. Han Fu had no choice but to accept the order, but Yuan Shao also accepted the edict."

Xi Zhicai's expression changed slightly and he said, "This plan is so cruel that Yuan Shao is also moved."

Cao Cao nodded and continued, "Dong Zhuo's envoy announced the appointments of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and mentioned me again. At that time, I was angry and drew my sword and killed the envoys sent by Dong Zhuo. Then, I suggested that Yuan Shao send troops, but Yuan Shao asked everyone to go back to reorganize the army and prepare for war, and to consider the war tomorrow. Obviously, this is Yuan Shao delaying the time."

There is a deep worry in the words.

This time, Cao Cao held great hope to kill Dong Zhuo and rectified the court.

Reality made Cao Cao helpless.

Xi Zhicai sighed and said, "Lord, you shouldn't have killed anyone."

Cao Cao said seriously: "You must kill. If you don't kill, this battle will not continue."

Xi Zhicai said: "Even if the lord kills Dong Zhuo's envoy, Han Fu and Yuan Shao receive the edict, the situation is irreversible. The humble position determines that Yuan Shao and Han Fu will definitely have actions. In the end, it will lead to the collapse of the Allies. Lord, if you accept the edict, even if the allied forces fall apart, you can still seize power.

Cao Cao looked serious and shook his head and said, "If I really did that, would I still be me? I will not do such things now and in the future."

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "The lord is wrong. The lord wants to accomplish great things. The road ahead cannot be smooth all the way, and it is even more impossible to do it according to your ideas. Many times, you need to be wronged. In this way, you have the opportunity to fulfill your lord's ideal."

Cao Cao was unwilling to say more and said, "Let's talk about what happened in the future."

Xi Zhicai sighed lightly. He did not agree with Cao Cao's approach, but he also admired Cao Cao's approach very much. Only people like Cao Cao have the true nature.

Cao Cao suppressed his impetuousness and discussed countermeasures with Xi Zhicai, and then went to inspect the military camp.

This day disappeared in a blink of an eye.

On the surface, the camp was calm, but there was a turbulent tide in the secret, and the camp was in turmoil, but no one showed it. That night, Cao Cao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. In the second half of the night, Cao Cao entered his dream in a daze.

In his sleep, Cao Cao seemed to see the scenes of the princes leaving.

His heart was broken apart little by little, and he was in great pain.

"No"

"no way"

Cao Cao roared, opened his eyes and sat up.

“Huhu”

He sat on the bed, breathing heavily, with lingering anxiety in his eyes.

what to do?

What if the dream scene really occurs?

At this time, it was already dawn.

Cao Cao stood up, washed up, and as soon as he put on his clothes and armor, he heard the anxious voice of soldiers outside the tent: "General, Han Fu is mobilizing the army and leaving the military camp."

brush

Cao Cao's expression changed drastically and he walked out directly.

He left the camp tent and soon arrived at the camp gate.

At this time, Han Fu led his army to drive. Han Fu rode on the horse and walked in the front. Behind Han Fu, there were countless soldiers.

Cao Cao went up, blocked Han Fu's way, and said in a deep voice: "Hanzhou Governor, you are respectful and the backbone of the military camp. If you leave, the camp will fall into turmoil. Cao Cao dared to ask the Hanzhou Governor to stay."

Han Fu said: "Meng De, I also want to attack Dong Zhuo. But you have seen the situation now. Yuan Shao is eyeing Jizhou. If I don't go back, Jizhou will change its ownership."

After all the words, Cao Cao was speechless.

Cao Cao had no reason to object or to stop him.

Han Fu sighed softly: "Meng De, I know your heart. But the world is too chaotic, and many people's hearts are different from yours."

Cao Cao said: "Hanzhou Governor, I just want to attack Dong Zhuo and give the people a bright world."

Han Fu sighed lightly and said, "Meng De, sorry."

"drive"

Han Fu slapped the horse, bypassed Cao Cao, and walked out directly.

Cao Cao did not stop him anymore. He just took a step back in disappointment, stood in the camp, staring at the leaving Jizhou army in a daze. At some point, Han Fu and his soldiers disappeared at the entrance of the camp.

Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Han, Xi Zhicai, Cao Hong and others had already arrived and stood beside Cao Cao. Everyone was feeling distressed when they looked at the lost Cao Cao.

"General, it's not good."

Another soldier hurried over with a panic look.

Cao Cao said: "What's the matter?"

The soldiers reported: "Yuan Shao summoned the army and was about to leave the camp."

boom

Cao Cao's mind seemed to explode, and his mind was blank.

The eyes were even more lost.

This person he relies on, the person who has been with him since childhood, now mobilizes the army without saying a word. Such actions have made Cao Cao even more sad.

Cao Cao's back was slightly hunched and he murmured: "Why, why?"

He murmured to himself, staring at the camp.

Not long after, Yuan Shao led his army to appear. The soldiers under Yuan Shao were all elite, and as soon as his army appeared, he was extremely shocked. He was fully armed, wearing armor, and slowly advancing on a war horse.

The moment he saw Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's expression was stunned.

In an instant, Yuan Shao returned to his calmness. Yuan Shao rode his horse forward, and soon came to the gate of the camp.

Cao Cao stood in front of Yuan Shao and asked, "Benchu, why did you leave? For the sake of a Jizhou governor?"

Yuan Shao looked serious and said slowly: "Meng De, I am not a governor of Jizhou, but to attack Dong Zhuo. This time, I attacked Dong Zhuo, there were too many people and unsatisfied people. Other people's power is always someone else's. I need my own strength to attack Dong Zhuo again. After I return to Jizhou, I will master Jizhou in the shortest time and attack Dong Zhuo again.

Cao Cao sneered: "It seems to be for the purpose of attacking Dong Zhuo, but it is for Jizhou."

Yuan Shao said: "If you insist on saying this, I don't object."

"There will be a time later. I hope we can fight side by side in the future." Yuan Shao waved his whip and rode his horse away, never looking at Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao still did not stop him, but just took a few steps back and allowed Yuan Shao's army to leave.

At this moment, Cao Cao thought of Wang Yan's words.

At this moment, Cao Cao began to feel a little regretful.

Even Cao Cao thought of Xi Zhicai's words, since he had predicted such a scene early on, why did he refuse Dong Zhuo's appointment?

As long as you stick to your original intention, you can do everything.

At this moment, Cao Cao had the idea of ​​change in his heart.

One after another, the princes left.

After the princes received news of Yuan Shao and Han Fu's departure, they couldn't sit still and chose to lead their troops to leave.

At 10:00 at night, the camp was empty and there was no longer the bustle and bustle of the past.

In the end, Cao Cao was the only one left.

Xi Zhicai comforted him: "Lord, this time he attacked Dong Zhuo..."

Cao Cao reached out to interrupt Xi Zhicai and said, "No need to say, I can withstand this blow. After this incident, I also understood that others cannot rely on themselves."

After a pause, Cao Cao ordered: "Send an order and withdraw the troops."

"promise"

Seeing that Cao Cao was not hit, Xi Zhicai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
