This answer obviously made Guan Yu feel dissatisfied, but now is not the time to dwell on this matter. No matter what, he can only choose to believe Zhao Fei now. If he returns successfully and cannot see his third brother, then he will naturally have reason to follow him. Zhao Fei turned his face.
Seeing that Guan Yu was no longer asking questions, Zhao Fei showed a slight smile. In a short period of time, Yuan Shao would definitely not have the possibility of raising troops to invade. Therefore, once Guan Yu left, there would be no possibility of coming back in a short time. And when the time comes, Zhang Fei had already ingrained what he had instilled into him into his mind.
By then, even if Guan Yu comes back, Zhao Fei will be sure to control the situation, so Zhao Fei is absolutely relieved about this.
After bidding farewell to Guan Yu, Zhao Fei and Cao Cao left his mansion. Cao Cao frowned all the time. He looked at Zhao Fei and then said in a deep voice: "Pengju, if you really want to let Guan Yu leave, he is a rare person." A great general!"
With Cao Cao's character, he naturally couldn't bear to give up any talented people. Regarding this, Zhao Fei could only shake his head helplessly. He was confused. Since Cao Cao was so reluctant to let go of Guan Yu, why did he let Guan Yu leave in history? Woolen cloth.[
"Mengde, you also know Guan Yu's temperament. It is absolutely impossible to want him to be loyal to you. In this case, it is better to let Guan Yu go." Zhao Fei said in a deep voice, Guan Yu can only use it, not for general use.
Cao Cao thought about it secretly. He felt that Zhao Fei's words were unreasonable. He had been in contact with Guan Yu for so long. With Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei, he would naturally not betray Liu Bei and join him.
He admires talents, but he also knows that he loves Guan Yu more than other generals in Cao's army. However, even in this way, Guan Yu did not change his mind. This is enough to prove that Guan Yu's heart is as solid as a rock.
Cao Cao also knew that the possibility of getting Guan Yu to surrender to him was very slim, so in the end he could only nod secretly. Cao Cao looked like a hero. He knew that there were things he could do and things he could not do. Since he knew that this was a battle with no chance of winning, what could he do? You may continue to waste time on this matter, and avoiding its sharp edges is the first choice.
"Mengde, you also said that Guan Yu is a talented general, so letting him guard Baima City is definitely an excellent choice." Zhao Fei said thoughtfully. Baima City must not be able to withstand Yuan Jun's attack, so Baima City is definitely a pit of fire. He I hope some generals of Cao's army will fall into the pit of fire.
Letting Zhicai monitor Guan Yu is also a reluctant move, but Zhicai is a counselor. If there is a war, he only needs to sit in the rear. If there is danger, Zhao Fei will definitely arrange for Zhicai to leave safely, so he Not worried.
"The White Horse is a pit of fire. Whoever goes there will die. You are worried about the other generals of our army, so you let General Guan garrison the White Horse City. Regardless of whether it has miraculous effects or not, the White Horse will lead Yuan Shao to suffer heavy losses." Cao Cao said with a smile, but after thinking about it, , Guan Yu is indeed a good choice. Even if Guan Yu is really defeated, it will be a disservice to Cao Jun. After all, Guan Yu is not a general of Cao Jun.
"I only hope that Zhicai will do something. After all, he knows that Baima City is full of dangers, but he is willing to come forward." Zhao Fei said with a frown. Zhao Fei felt a hint of uneasiness in his heart, because thinking back to Zhicai's tone, it was quite a bit disturbing. The aura of looking forward to death.
The construction of the White Horse City can be said to be an act of internal and external troubles. Although Zhang Fei could make Guan Yu throw a rat weapon in Zhao Fei's hands, he was an enemy general after all, so it was hard to guarantee whether he would have some other small thoughts.
Moreover, Yuan Shao also knew the purpose of Cao Jun's building Baima City. How could he allow such a nail to appear in his offensive? With Baima City there, Yuan Jun's attack would be blocked. After all, Baima is a very necessary position.
According to the current situation, although Yuan Jun did not dare to come openly, he would definitely attack secretly and use thunderous means. Since Zhicai's body was even weaker than his own, Zhao Fei was still afraid that something unexpected would happen to him.
"Don't worry." Seeing Zhao Fei slightly's worried expression, Cao Cao hurriedly comforted him: "Besides, I will arrange personal guards to protect Zhicai, and we won't let anything happen to him."
"Zhicai is your friend, but I am the master of Zhicai. I am more worried about Zhicai's comfort than you are!" Cao Cao laughed.
Zhao Fei nodded, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. He looked at Cao Cao, and then said: "I don't doubt Meng De's ability, but when I think back to Zhicai's words, I feel a little uneasy."
Cao Cao also frowned, and Zhao Fei's words also stunned him. Looking back carefully, Cao Cao seemed to feel something was wrong, because Xi Zhicai's tone did not sound like he was accepting an order, but like his last words.
Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I'm afraid Zhicai is determined to die, so there is no need to worry too much. With Zhicai's resourcefulness, nothing dangerous will definitely happen, so don't worry. "
Zhao Fei nodded. For now, he could only think like this. Zhicai's abilities were not inferior to his own. This was why Zhao Fei was willing to let Zhicai go to Baima City with confidence.
Zhao Fei returned to the mansion, but the servant said that Zhicai had been waiting at the mansion for a long time. Zhao Fei was slightly stunned. He couldn't think of why Zhicai appeared here. Recalling his suspicion just now, Zhao Fei felt even more uneasy. He hurriedly moved towards Go to the study.
In the study, Xi Zhicai was slowly drinking tea in Zhao Fei's study. When he saw Zhao Fei walking in, Xi Zhicai put down the tea cup in his hand and walked towards Zhao Fei.[
"Zhicai is a rare visitor!" Seeing Zhicai playing with him, Zhao Fei hid the worry on his face in his heart.
"Is Pengju blaming me?" Xi Zhicai saw Zhao Fei and said with a smile.
Staring at Xi Zhicai, Zhao Fei didn't see anything strange on his face, but Zhao Fei could see that Xi Zhicai was somewhat thinner and his face was paler than before.
"Why is Zhicai's face so pale?" Zhao Fei couldn't hide his doubts and asked.
Hearing Zhao Fei's words, Xi Zhicai's expression froze slightly, but he quickly covered it up. Xi Zhicai hurriedly shook his head: "Isn't it because I drank that day? I didn't really feel anything, it was so dark. !Especially Pengju you, you are so ferocious, we all admire you."
Xi Zhicai's words made him somewhat embarrassed, which also prevented him from noticing some changes on Xi Zhicai's face. Zhao Fei smiled awkwardly: "I made Zhicai laugh, but I have no memory of what happened that day." ."
"It's okay not to mention this matter. I don't know why Zhicai came to me." Zhao Fei shook his head. He didn't want to continue to dwell on the issue of being drunk that day. After all, he had no memory of what happened that day.
Xi Zhicai looked at Zhao Fei, and then said in a deep voice: "Why, can't I come to Pengju to find you if there is nothing?"
Zhao Fei smiled and shook his head: "If the matter did not go to the Three Treasures Palace, today Zhicai was appointed to go to Baima, and today Zhicai you came to visit. I think Zhicai you are not just here to ask for a drink."
"You, you." Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled: "Don't overcomplicate everything. I will set off to Baima to build the city soon. I am here today to say goodbye to Pengju."
"Haha, that's right." Zhao Fei nodded. Xi Zhicai's words are not bad. After all, Zhicai went to Baima. He will not come back until Yuan Jun's army breaks through Baima. This will take at least a few years, so He said that he would not be able to see Zhicai for several years.
"But..." Zhao Fei hesitated, his expression somewhat worried.
Xi Zhicai obviously knew what Zhao Fei was worried about. He shook his head: "I know Pengju's worries, but I have to go on this trip. I think I have served under the Prime Minister for so long, but I have not made any progress. Zhicai doesn't want to After dying in Xuchang City, it’s a good thing to go out and do some activities.”
Looking at Zhicai, Zhao Fei found that he did look a little old: "This is what Zhicai said. Zhicai, you are in your prime. You still have more time to serve Mengde, so why take such risks?" ."
Xi Zhicai's eyes were slightly dim, but he quickly covered up the past: "Peng Ju's words are wrong. I surrendered to the Prime Minister earlier than you, but I have not made any achievements so far. I am also unworthy of your lord's trust. Now But even if I have a chance, how could I give up."
"Moreover, although this trip is dangerous, it may not be a dead end. After all, Baima is the place where our army belongs. Even if Yuan Jun wants to take action, he will have an estimate. You can rest assured, Pengju." Xi Zhicai comforted him. Xi Zhicai was quite moved by Zhao Fei's concern, and he didn't blame himself for considering Zhao Fei a close friend.
"Zhicai's words are unreasonable. There is really no danger in being careful. Moreover, with Zhicai's resourcefulness, even if Yuan Jun plays any conspiracy, Zhicai will be able to defeat it." Zhao Fei nodded.
Since Zhicai is determined to kill the enemy, I really shouldn't discourage him here.
"Hahaha." Zhicai laughed loudly: "This is the Zhao Fei and Zhao Pengju I know. Am I so untalented that I will be doubted if I go to Baima?"
"Hahaha." Zhao Fei looked at each other and smiled with Zhicai. Zhao Fei's mood obviously improved a lot, and the slightest haze that had just weighed on him also disappeared. It seemed that he was indeed too worried.
"The purpose of building the city of White Horse is to temporarily avoid Yuan's army. If we want to fight Yuan's army, White Horse is not a good place, so Zhicai should retreat in spite of the difficulties and withdraw his troops immediately when the time is right." Zhao Fei ordered.
"Pengju must be looking down on me too much. You still need to tell me this." Xi Zhicai glanced at Zhao Fei.[
"Pengju, I would like to advise you. Although you have great power, you still have to distinguish between master and servant. We all have to assist the lord, and we must not have any intention of overstepping." Xi Zhicai looked at Zhao Fei, his brows furrowed. Very deep.
Xi Zhicai's words made Zhao Fei stunned. He didn't understand why Zhao Fei said so: "I hope Zhicai will make it clear. I don't think I have the slightest intention to go beyond. Why do you persuade me like this?"
Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly: "Pengju does have no ambitions. He has never had any ambitions since he became the lord. However, Pengju, you must also understand that although you have no ambitions, your power is felt. Worry, you may not want to rebel, but who can guarantee that the people under your command do not have such intentions?"
