The spring rain finally came down, and the drizzle fell in the military camp to bring coldness.

A horse dragged a cart full of turnips and ran through the mud puddle, splashing countless mud dots on the legs of Cao Bing who was patrolling the past, causing people around to shout and scold, which was just a very ordinary corner of the military camp. The raindrops were drifting, and the surrounding central army tents were lit, and the two lit braziers were lit. The soldiers on both sides were smiling, and with a majestic and gentle sound, their smiling faces became serious.

Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong on the left exchanged expressions, and occasionally spoke in a low voice or two. Obviously, they didn't expect that there was such a content at the end of the letter. At this time, the question came, which made them unable to speak. Behind the long case, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at everyone, and asked curiously, "...If it were you, how would you do it?"

"Lord, Gongsun Zhi killed Liu Yu in front of him, which shows that he is the same as a tiger and wolf-like man like Lu Bu. If you accept it, it will damage the reputation of the lord." Li Dian stood up and bowed, said something immediately, then looked at the first silent figure in front of him, and then retreated and sat down.

As a quasi-general of Cao's camp, Cao Ren was brave and had to be the first in every battle. He always spoke calmly. Seeing the eyes of the other side, he bowed and said, "...Reporting to the lord, the last general agreed to what Mancheng said, Zihe could return, and as his elder brother, he was very happy to have Gongsun Zhi enter Yanzhou, but he would offend Yuan Shao. The lord and Yuan Shao are good friends, forming horns from one south and one north. If he turned against him, Yanzhou would become a place for four battles, which would not be worth the loss."

The tent was like Le Jin, and although Xiahou Yuan and others did not speak, they agreed with what Cao Ren said. Seeing everyone nodding, Xiahou Dun bulged his eyes and patted his thighs: "Meng De, you see that everyone doesn't agree. Let's just take Zihe and drive the wolf back. Our war has not been finished yet, so we can save even more trouble."

Cao Cao pursed his lips and did not express his opinion. He simply waved at them: "You all go down and have a good rest. There will be war tomorrow, so the generals must not slackew."

"yes!"

The big tent was shaken by it.

When everyone got up and left, Cao Cao called the figure who was ready to leave in the corner, slowly wearing a big fur, drank the warm wine on the table, and patted the man on the shoulder: "Fengxiao, follow me to walk in the camp." Then he lifted the curtain and the guards on both sides wanted to follow him and were swung back. Two figures strolled in the camp one by one.

There were soldiers around who were lit up a bonfire in the light rain to resist the cold spring. The patrol soldiers walked past the rain curtain, and many people looked at them. Cao Cao, who was walking in front, also looked at them and nodded, and the soldiers were all flattered to respond.

"With filial piety, what is my greatest ambition in my life?" He walked in the rain with his hands behind his back, looking at the busy camp in the rain with a scent of a literary atmosphere, sighing.

Behind him, the thin young man looked dissatisfied and slightly pale, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"You, did you drink too late last night?" Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from the hazy rain scene, turned his head to look at him, and continued to walk forward: "...I only mentioned this matter to Zihe in the past. I have wanted to conquer aliens throughout my life and fight to the west. After my death, I wrote on the tombstone that Han General of the West and the tomb of Cao Hou. But... the world is in chaos and I can't do it."

Guo Jia lowered his head and smiled, followed behind and said, "The lord mentioned this matter at this time, probably for that Gongsun Zhi."

The figure walking in front stopped, looked at the rain curtain pulled from the sky, and fell into my eyes: "This person killed his relative Liu Yu, but there was a stain on his body, but in this world... hahaha... there is no clean person!" Cao Cao suddenly laughed for a moment, and let out a sigh of relief, "... Gongsun Zhi fought with foreigners on the grassland. In fact, it was my yearning for me, Cao Cao... If such heroes are forced to die, my heart..."

Turning around, he patted his chest hard.

“…restless”

A team of soldiers passed by. Guo Jia bowed to the heroic man over there in the rain, stood up, and said, "Lord, it is not more harmful than good to accept Gongsun Zhi and offend Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao first led Jizhou and passed through the Heishan Rebellion. In fact, the foundation was not stable, people's hearts were unstable, and the soldiers were not strong. What is the difference between it and the lord? If Gongsun Zhi is accepted, it has the effect of buying bones for a thousand gold coins. People who are talented in the world will also see it and will come to serve."

"All the generals in the army are not optimistic, but I think the same as my thoughts." Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, "Although Yuan Benchu ​​was my childhood friend, everyone has their own position now. It is inevitable that they will not fight each other in the future. Just tear them apart. If you can win Gongsun Zhi, it would be like Han Wu won the championship Marquis, and I will not lose..."

When he said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

"Even if you tear your face apart, there will be a grudge at most. Yuan Benchu ​​and his advisers dare not go south at will. Lord, don't forget that there is a white horse general in Youzhou. Now, we should focus our main energy on this Yellow Turban Army coming from Qingzhou." Guo Jia said in the rain, his voice low: "... The lord is now the lord of Yanzhou. Don't destroy this Yellow Turban too early, and slowly advance to enter Qingzhou..."

On the other side, his brows frowned slightly, then stretched out. Cao Cao pointed to the young scholar and smiled: "If Wen doesn't deceive me, you have a strange plan. It's just an excuse to drive the Yellow Turban away to enter Qingzhou. At least you have to eat a part... that's it."

In the distance, Le Jin, who was checking the martial arts, Li Dian and the others came over, looked at the two figures chatting and laughing in the rain, and looked at each other, quite surprised.

Cao Cao is a person who cannot figure it out. Sometimes he is as enthusiastic as making friends and talking about everything. Sometimes he kills without blinking. Sometimes he is suspicious by nature, but he is also heroic and passionate. But at the same time, he is a charming person.

The two of them chatting and laughing in the spring rain said a lot, and as the rain curtain came up to the night sky, the wind blew, and the raindrops swayed to the north, hitting the same black spots. The driving carriage stopped in place, and the soldiers around them were guarding quietly. In the carriage, Yuan Shao put down the map, the candlelight reflected his frown, and then he saw the person in front of him.

"... During the day, Gongsun Zhi suddenly turned east. I think he had an insight into the ambush you set up, but he did not go north to meet with Gongsun Zan, but went east. What do you think he wanted to do..."

In the carriage, the flames swayed and flashed with the airflow of talking. Guo Tu's whole body shook and tightened his neck. Feng Ji, who was next to him, spoke first: "Today, General Zhang came to news that he had destroyed all the black bandits, but when Zhang Yan was found, the other party's body was separated and he had been dead for a long time. Ji suspected that Gongsun Zhi had used us..."

"Use?" Yuan Shao smiled while tapping his finger on several tables, and then restrained himself. "It is true that Gongsun Zhiqin can fight against Lu Bu, but if you want to talk about strategy, I'm afraid I won't."

"This matter is not a problem." Feng Ji thought for a while and raised his face: "At the end of last year, he moved the people of Heishan to Shanggu County. I thought he had already had an idea in his heart. He first encouraged Zhang Yan to start a war with our Jizhou, not to attack Jizhou, but to take away those people. However, Zhang Yan's reputation in Heishan is too high and will not end in the future. Therefore, when he started this year, he participated, probably the most important thing was to want Zhang Yan's life, rather than fighting side by side as an ally."

"What a evil wolf, but what's the use of saying this at this time?" Yuan Shao glanced at him and tapped his fingers gently. "The most urgent thing now is to stop this running wolf. You can give birth to it and think about it."

"Yes!" The two left the carriage.

Yuan Shao got up and walked out, stood in the car and caught up. He looked up at the cold silk thread hanging from the sky, and whispered a few words: "...what are you going to the east?"

***************************

Gongsun Zhi, who was also looking at the sky, had just ended a battle.

A county soldier chased from Guangchuan was charged by several charges, leaving hundreds of corpses, and returned to the city in a panic. In fact, Gongsun Zhi was not happy to kill a group of inconspicuous troops. This time he suddenly headed east and then went south to Yanzhou. He would encounter more cities on the way. If Yuan Shao's generals were allowed to detect the intention in advance, he would be blocked from the south and the two routes to the north, and then the cavalry in his hands would be trapped in the hinterland of Jizhou and would not be allowed to escape.

Thinking of this, he slashed the tree body with a knife and splashed wood chips.

"Thinking so much is useless. I am all a cavalry...unless Lu Bu comes..."
