Seeing Zhao Feng's expression, Cao Cao once again showed a trace of doubt.
"Then does Sun Ce help or not?"
Obviously, this is the issue that he is most concerned about. He has no idea about the jade seal passed down from the country.
Zhao Feng glanced at Cao Cao who was worried and said: "Help, we must help. Helping Sun Ce will be beneficial to us without any harm!"
"For the moment, we don't care that Sun Jian lent us five thousand cavalry before. Just because he occupies a place in Changsha, we must help him!"
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Feng with curiosity and asked: "Oh, what are the benefits of helping Sun Ce?"
If he wanted to find out, he wouldn't have asked Zhao Feng, but looked at Zhao Feng with a curious look.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly. If Sun Ceru chose the right path, he would definitely be able to take advantage of it.
"Changsha is in Jingzhou. As long as Sun Ce is there, Liu Biao will definitely be restrained. After all, Liu Biao's men in Jingzhou killed Sun Jian. If he dares to use his troops at will, Sun Ce will definitely not sit idly by and watch!"
"At the same time, Sun Ce's potential is not weak at all. In time, he will definitely become a general. I believe that if he can grow up, the entire Jiangdong will be controlled by him!"
After hearing Zhao Feng's evaluation, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked.
"Does Sun Ce really have this ability?"
The land of Jiangdong is so vast, but Sun Ce, who has no way to take revenge, actually has such potential?
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Of course!"
Jiangdong's career was all built by Sun Ce alone. If something unexpected happens to Sun Ce in the future, there's no telling what will happen next.
"And as long as we reveal a little bit of news to Sun Ce and let him understand, he will definitely trust us unconditionally!"
After listening to Zhao Feng's suggestion, Cao Cao was obviously moved. In this case, it might not be a bad idea to help Sun Ce.
At this moment, on the other side, Sun Ce, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were a little anxious. There was no news from Cao Cao for so long, and they couldn't help but worry.
After all, now that Sun Jian has died, it is very possible that Cao Cao is not willing to help.
However, the three of them did not wait too long before they saw Cao Cao and others coming.
"I've met Mr. Cao!"
Several people immediately bowed and saluted, and then looked at Cao Cao's face. They couldn't tell whether this matter was successful or not, and they couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder what Mr. Cao wants to know about the aid?"
Even the two veterans Huang Gai and Cheng Pu didn't have any confidence.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Two generals, don't be so uneasy. Sun Wentai and I are old friends. Brother Wentai was kind to me before, but now I can't just sit back and watch if there are difficulties!"
"I am willing to lend you more than five thousand horses and food and baggage!"
As soon as these words came out, several people showed a hint of joy.
"However, I have a condition."
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai looked at each other and couldn't help but feel confused.
Cao Cao looked at the expressions of these two people and couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Sun Ce: "Don't worry, it's not a bad condition."
"My condition is that as long as Sun Ce is alive, your Jiangdong Sun family owes me, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!"
Hearing what Cao Cao said, Sun Zhiwei was a little confused. Is it just such a condition? But in the end he nodded and said: "I agree!"
Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce and nodded, and then continued: "In that case, my military advisor has a big gift to give you!"
At this time, Sun Ce noticed Zhao Feng behind Cao Cao, and his eyes flickered a little. Although his presence was very low, when his father was alive, he told him to be careful about this person.
It was obvious that someone about the same age as himself could gain such trust from Cao Cao. It was absolutely extraordinary.
Before Cao Cao could speak, Zhao Feng said calmly: "Do you know where the national jade seal is now?"
Cao Cao hesitated for a moment and began to think, but he was not very sure where it would be.
Sun Ce also had doubts. Didn't he say before that the whereabouts of the jade seal was unknown?
"Since neither you nor Liu Biao have found the imperial seal, where did it go? I guess I don't need to say more, right?"
After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and immediately understood. Looking at Zhao Feng beside him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. It is really a blessing in life to have such a great talent!
Sun Ce below showed a trace of hatred in his eyes: "Yuan Shu!"
He had suspected it for a long time and avoided seeing Yuan Shu when he went to look for him. It turned out to be this reason!
The real enemy behind the scenes turned out to be Yuan Shu.
Sun Ce's resolute eyes shed two lines of tears, and his father died in Yuan Shu's conspiracy.
"I must avenge my father, otherwise I will never be a human being!"
A voice full of hatred and determination came from Sun Ce's mouth, and the murderous intention was directly revealed from his eyes. The hatred for killing his father was irreconcilable!
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao felt reassured. It seemed that Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were temporarily restrained.
Huang Gai and Cheng Pu on the side were so shocked by Zhao Feng's words that they could not say anything. The person who framed Sun Jian was actually Yuan Shu. Although they had suspicions, they did not expect that Yuan Shu would use such a conspiracy!
Cao Cao took a step forward and said: "At this moment, you should not rush for revenge. It is more important to stabilize your current career. If you attack rashly, someone will definitely reap the benefits."
"Don't think about revenge until your career is stable!"
Cao Cao said these words in all fairness. After all, he also hoped that Sun Ce could contain Yuan Shu and Liu Biao for a period of time.
Huang Gai Cheng Pu on the side also nodded and stepped forward to persuade: "Young Master, please don't use your troops at will now. That Nanyang Yuan Shu has strong troops and horses now, we are no match for him!"
Sun Ce was not an unreasonable person, so he finally sighed and nodded: "So, thank you so much, Mr. Cao, Sun Ce will never forget it!"
Now is not the time for revenge, we can only bury the hatred in our hearts for the time being.
Finally, Sun Ce left Luoyang with the food and grass supplies supported by Cao Cao.
Looking at Luoyang, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh. Although Luoyang had been the capital of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, since it was burned down by Dong Zhuo, its original prosperous scene would never return.
This fire caused a rapid loss of population in Luoyang, and countless people fled to surrounding towns.
Today's Luoyang is not what it used to be. If you want to restore your vitality, it will not be possible to return to the original state without a certain amount of time. If you want to stay in Luoyang and develop, it is not a wise choice.
Without the common people, not only is it difficult to recruit, but it is also difficult to collect food. Even if you have money, it will be of no use.
"Lord, we have nothing to do now and need to leave Luoyang as soon as possible."
Zhao Feng looked at Cao Cao aside and said.
After hearing this suggestion, Cao Cao also nodded. Now that most of the eighteen princes have gone back, they are all strengthening themselves, and there is no point in staying in Luoyang.
Cao Cao had already thought of this, but he had not thought about where to go.
"Since the military advisor proposed it, he should have already thought of where to go, right?"
Zhao Feng smiled lightly and said: "Chenliu is a good place!"
After hearing this, Chen Liu was indeed one of Cao Cao's choices after careful consideration in the past few days.
Seeing that Cao Cao was still hesitating, Zhao Feng continued: "Don't worry, my lord, I am willing to go first to convince Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu!"
