When the sound of gold sounds sounded, an era ended, and at the same time, a new era began.

Above the vast sky, an extremely huge golden dragon with luck roared to the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.

In the distance from Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were busy among the fields, suddenly felt a sense of heart, and they seemed to hear the sound of dragon roars in their ears. Both of them looked up in an instant and looked into the north.

"You heard it too?" Cao Cao asked.

"Well, it seems to be over."

"The ending is expected after all."

"Do you really think a miracle will happen?"

"Until the last moment, I still have some fantasies in my heart."

"The difference in strength is really too great. Yuan Shao's chance of winning this battle is almost impossible. Take a step back ten thousand steps, even if Yuan Benchu ​​wins this battle with the help of heaven and earth like Emperor Guangwu, what can he do? You have seen the situation in various places under Yuan Shu. The ending cannot be changed by a battle. Even if Yuan Gonglu is defeated ten times and a hundred times, it is meaningless as long as he does not shake his foundation." Liu Bei said calmly.

"The kingly way, is it really that strong?" Cao Cao unconsciously doubted his beliefs.

"What is the king's way?" Liu Bei smiled contemptuously: "Educating benevolent politics, respecting virtue and wiseness are indeed the essence of the king's way. But it should be noted that Yuan Gonglu advocates governing the country with law, conquering people with strength, and attacking people in large numbers. Isn't this a king's way? The emperor's way is mixed with king's way, and king's way is just a joke."

"The strength of the Great Chu is not in the kingly way, but in the Yuan Highway."

Liu Bei looked at the children who were playing tug of war not far away, and pointed casually: "Meng De, look at those children."

Cao Cao followed Liu Bei's gaze.

"Just like this tug of war, if you want to win, the number of people on your side and the size of your strength is the basis, but whether you can work together is the key. The most clever thing about Yuan Highway is that you can unite all your strength and use your strength in one place. Continuously create new interests, coercion and temptation tie everyone to his chariot and become his help. And we, not only have too many uncontrollable forces under our command, but also many people even use their strength in reverse and drag their legs." Liu Bei said meaningfully.

"Under the bondage of interests, in order to take into account the overall situation, many situations have to compromise. Because once the balance is broken, it will cause a general collapse. It is true that it is not broken or established, but once it is broken, everything will disappear. For this reason, this vicious cycle has to be maintained and they are sitting and watching them grow together with us like parasites." Cao Cao sighed lightly. It is easy to know and difficult to do. How could he not know what Liu Bei meant, but how could he do it?

"I know this. In Yuzhou, no one understood the helplessness of compromise better than me. Most of the soldiers under my command had most of the money and food, but were not under my control. No matter what they wanted to do, there was a powerful force to restrain them, and they could only guard the dead land like a puppet." Liu Bei's mouth was bitter. Cao Cao was still tough in front of the aristocratic family, but he saw through this until he was desperate.

"The greed of aristocratic families is infinite. If you want to not follow the old path, you must take the initiative from the beginning and firmly control it, just like Yuan Highway. But his path is difficult to replicate. After all, how many people can be backed by such a powerful force of the Yuan family? At that time, there was no one else in the world except Yuan Highway, and even Yuan Benchu ​​could not do it. Jizhou is too big." Cao Cao said.

"Now thinking about it, Yuan Gaolu is really far away. We all think he is stupid or fighting against Yuan Shao. But we didn't expect that he was on the most correct path. Yangzhou is the most suitable path in the world."

"Using the power of the Yuan family to leverage Jiangdong and control the Jiangdong family. After the operation was started, he then leverage Jingzhou with the power of Yangzhou, and at the same time threw out Yizhou and Zhuzhou. Then the south, northwest, central plains, the world, the Western Regions, the southwest countries, and Kushan all became the painting cakes they prepared for the aristocratic families. They played with the aristocratic families step by step, and constantly broke the assimilation of other forces to strengthen themselves."

"We are not wronged. Since Yuan Shu completely took control of Jiangdong, our failure has been basically destined. Even if time turns around, I am afraid there will be no power to turn the world back." Liu Bei smiled bitterly.

"But now it is not the end, but the beginning. A new journey is about to begin." Cao Cao looked into the West with his eyes shining brightly.

"You may not plan to follow the old path this time." Liu Bei stretched his sleeves and said as if he was pointing out.

"Naturally. Since I know that the road of Yuan Highway is right, I will naturally not repeat the same mistakes. I hold tens of thousands of elite soldiers and countless powerful generals. This power is not weaker than Yuan Shu at the time. If I can't even copy it, then what face can I, Cao Mengde, have to stand in the world?" His dark face was full of confidence and arrogance, and Cao Cao said aloud.

"I advise you not to underestimate aristocratic families, nor to overestimate the integrity of aristocratic families. Some people in aristocratic families are much more sinister than you think. Just think of Sima Zhongda. Often, arrogance and greed will ruin a person, especially you." Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao and said lightly.

"I would also advise you to not be too indecisive in danger, nor do you have emotional actions in good times. Although I don't like false benevolence and righteousness, this is indeed a good way, but being too addicted to it will probably make you lose. Those who achieve great things should understand the importance of the primary and secondary." Cao Cao also resigned Liu Bei without hesitation.

This is often the case with people. You can see other people's flaws at a glance, but your own flaws can never be changed or even difficult to detect. After living together for such a long time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have already understood each other very well, even better than themselves.

"How many people have come to you?" Liu Bei suddenly tentatively.

"you guess?"

"At least seventy or eighty."

"Absolutely." Cao Cao did not mean to hide too much. As expected, he and Liu Bei should have the closest ally in the future, and they are closer than Yuan Shao. No, because of anything else, it is because Yuan Shao is far better than them.

Tigers will not be friends with rabbits, and the strength between allies must not be too different. He and Liu Bei are most in line.

"Where are you there."

"It's less than you. It seems that these aristocratic families should have agreed on it long ago."

"The aristocratic family is a class, and they are very closely connected with each other. They must discuss each other before making a choice. For them, we are actually a cake for sharing. You and me have so much value, and naturally there are only so many people who are willing to participate." Cao Cao said self-deprecatingly.

"Are you going to accept all these aristocratic families?" Liu Bei asked.

"No, I choose a king and a minister, and I don't accept it for everyone." Cao Cao snorted coldly. Although he was in decline, he was not a soft persimmon that others could control. He was not yet so hungry.

"Indeed, this matter needs to be cautious, rather than be insignificant than indiscriminate. I am going to talk to Jia Wenhe." Liu Bei said inexplicably.

"That old fox, what are you looking for him?" An old fox suddenly appeared in Cao Cao's mind, and he beat him up slightly.

"There are so much information about the aristocratic family that he has in his hands than us. This person is deeply thoughtful and very wise. As a sharp sword in Yuan Shu's hand, he is terrifying." Liu Bei took a deep breath: "But now, we are friends but not enemies, and Yuan Gaolu will definitely support it."

"To be honest, I still doubt how many of our army are secretly secrets from Jia Wenhe." Cao Cao's eyes were slightly dark: "This man is too sinister. If Yuan Gaolu hadn't had the power to be powerful and did not need to use those weird methods, he would probably have done many things that scare us. Even if we start a new job in the future, we may still be under his surveillance."

"As it said, we are friends and not enemies with Yuan Gonglu now, so there is no need to be guarding against them. On the contrary, their surveillance can also remind us and discover some hidden dangers we have, thereby accelerating our development." Liu Bei said lightly: "With Yuan Gonglu, do you think you can fight back to the Central Plains in your lifetime? The place we are about to go is far away from the Han Dynasty, and it is unlikely that we will go to war with Da Chu in our life. Even if the country we have built in the future is stable and powerful and has the strength to compete with Da Chu, I don't know how many years after our death."

"At that time, Jia Wenhe was just a loess. Only God knows how many descendants of the dark sons he buried could be used. Moreover, he is in a foreign land and is both of the Han bloodlines and has no deep hatred. As long as you and I keep upright and do not do evil, I don't believe how long these dark sons can last." Liu Bei said lightly.
