Things in the northwest continue to ferment in various places, and Xiangyang, a place called Longzhong, is shrouded in a piece of water vapor.

The water vapor lingers in the stretch of hills, making it look hazy and mysterious.

There was a small farmyard on the waist, and the rain water dripped and formed a rain curtain on the eaves made of thatched grass. There were three people in the room. One was slender, with long moustaches and short beards, and quite majestic. When the man named Cui Jun on the opposite side made a move, he smiled and looked at the other party, played with the black spot in his hand and hurriedly landed it.

"Zhouping thinks that Liu Jingzhou will give up his position as governor and go north to Xudu to participate in the chaos in the northwest?" Xu Shu put his wide sleeves and reached out to press the black piece on the chessboard.

Cui Jun nodded, stared at the chessboard intently, and then shook his head again. Obviously, his guess about the current situation was somewhat difficult to explain. He raised his head and turned his eyes to a man who was a little younger than him. The latter sat upright behind the desk with words written in seal script: Step out of Qicheng Gate, look out of the Yin Yin. There are three tombs in the middle, which are similar... I heard from the side of the chess, a voice came: "Can Kong Ming see the situation in the world clearly?"

The pen tip hovered and put it down. The man's hair was neat, with a green scarf, and a green gauze on his clothes. Then he got up and picked up a feather fan next to him and shook it: "After Yuan Shao's four generations and three masters, there were disciples and officials from all over the world. If this advantage was a rash defeat, the three sons were all talented in a city. Later, the white wolf in the north had a battle with Cao Cao in the Central Plains. Now he joined forces again just to see clearly that he could not continue to fight with the other party. The two were too deeply in ties, and the two places also had mutual restraints, so we had today's situation. If the matter in the northwest really came to say, if Gongsun Zhi could be wiped out by his own strength, why let it go?"

"It's better to tell Kong Ming in one sentence." Xu Shu nodded, and after another son, he heard his voice say, "But being able to leverage the heavens to do this can also show the power in the hands of the two, and even the think tanks under his command have extraordinary features." Then, he laughed: "Then you and me, Zhou Ping, Guangyuan, and Gongwei are all useless. Oh, by the way, there is also Shiyuan, I don't know where to go to play."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said with a smile: "This plan is just to make the world bustling and bustling for profit, which is arousing desire."

The voice of talking in the hut gradually became smaller, leaving only the sound of chessboards falling. Zhuge Liang walked to the window and looked at the vast mountains in the distance. The sound of rain was getting louder in his ears, and he closed his eyes slightly. When he remembered what he had heard recently, he couldn't help but become interested in the counselors who made suggestions from Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao.

"With the matter in the northwest, what else will you do after that? Old diseases are hidden and there will be an outbreak. At that time, new and old diseases will come out together, and it is really hard to say in the world..."

In a gentle whisper, the two people who were playing behind him, and the black pieces on the chessboard finally formed a big dragon to occupy the victory, and Xu Shu's voice came loudly.

"You lost."

The rain clouds stretched northward and stretched out of the boundary of Jingzhou, but white clouds were like trunks, wandering sparsely in the sky. The skylight shone on people's shadows reflected on the tiles of the imperial city, and stepped onto the stone steps. The sword catkins of the sky were lightly swaying, and they strided straight towards Chengguang Hall upwards. Behind them, the guards, armor, and swords and weapons collided with clanging sounds.

"Prime Minister!" The eunuchs and guards in front of the palace bowed and bowed their heads when they saw Cao Cao who was coming expressionlessly.

In the sky, the Lord of the Imperial City seemed quieter than usual. The ministers, who were among the civil and military officials, held their hands together and covered their belly, bowed slightly. At the first place, the emperor Liu Xie knelt down after the case, wore a black imperial robe and the pearl curtains drooped slightly: "Please come in."

A group of civil and military officials looked outside the hall gate, with black-patterned gold-edged rain flowers on the court robes. Cao Cao, who had a seven-character crown, walked through the middle of the people, stood in front of the imperial steps, stood firmly, and the green beads tied under the crown swayed, and he bowed: "Cao Cao, I have something to report."

Many people lowered their heads and looked at their toes: It's here.

"Prime Minister, it's okay to just say it!" Liu Xie reached out and made a gesture of invitation, with a solemn expression.

Cao Cao turned around and swept through hundreds of pairs of eyes below.

The sky outside the hall was bright, and the bright light shone on the ground, and the eyes of the reflected people felt ache. Then, his voice slowly rang in the hall: "Do you know what I, Cao Cao, want to do the most in my life?"

The low words paused at this point, closed their eyes, and the wind blew in. A slight coolness and heat were mixed. A slight ripples appeared in the closed darkness, and intermittent pictures flashed... When I was young, I wandered with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, causing trouble... I was the official Luoyang holding a five-color stick to suppress the arrogant people.... The Jumeng Sour Date was full of energy to eliminate thieves for the country... The incitement of the picture finally stayed on a cluster of light and shadow, and time went back, as if it was before my eyes.

Military tent.

candlelight.

Two figures sat opposite each other, and he whispered to the white wolf galloping across the grassland: "...I, Cao Cao, in this life, will only be a Han minister."

...

At one moment, he opened his eyes and his eyes fell on the court again. Everyone stood in Guangchenli, and could hear the sound of breathing quietly. The next second, Cao Cao's voice slowly came out.

"Cao's lifelong aspirations were to drive out the barbarians and become a general of the Han Dynasty who defended the country and expanded its territory to fight against the West. Since the Qin Dynasty, the Huns in the north have been constantly set up their foundation, and the country has been extended. Every year, they will go south to plunder. Since Emperor Wu of Han, General of Guard, and Huo Piqi have just promoted the power of our great Han Dynasty. Cao grew up by listening to such deeds. What he thought in his heart should be like this, and he will show his true nature!"

"......... Emperor Huan started, and the Xianbei in the north took advantage of the situation. Tan Shihuai attacked the border of our Han for six years! Six years! In these six years, how many Han people died under their butcher's knife? How many villages were destroyed by Hu horse trampling? Whenever Cao heard in Luoyang, he wished he could carry his spear and go to the north to kill several Hu people to vent his anger and wash away such shame!"

Cao Cao pressed the hilt of the sword and walked slowly, swept the officials standing around, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a pity... I was wrong."

The not-tall body walked through the middle and raised his fingers: "Before Cao could get on his horse and lead the troops to fight in the frontier, the world was in chaos. The Han Dynasty was in decline, and the princes from all sides had no court in their eyes. At that time, Your Majesty was trapped in the hands of Li and Guo. No one was willing to accept it. Cao was a Han minister and he ate the salary of the court. Just think, saving Your Majesty in danger and supporting the Han Dynasty was the duty of being a Han minister. He fought in the east and west. First, it was Lu Bu, then Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shao, and there was no more. Seeing that the north was about to be peaceful, Liu Bei jumped out to occupy Runan again, wanting to get a share of the pie. When will the fourteen states in the world be peaceful?!"

He stood in front of the gate of the hall and raised his head with white traces. "...The civil strife is not over yet. Now there are foreign enemies in the northwest. Perhaps some people know it, and some people don't know it. In the early years, a army from Qin from Wuyuan had entered the country unintentionally and clashed with the people of the border. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang County, returned to the command of Gongsun Zhi, the governor of the North, and fought with the other party. Unfortunately, Gongsun Zhi sent troops to wipe out the foreign army. Unexpectedly, after these years, they came again. What are they doing? Cases guessing, one is to find the army, and the other is to revenge!" He clenched his fists behind his back. He turned around and looked at the civil and military officials and the emperor above: "When did my great man fall to such a room for revenge and dare not fight back?"

“….You guys say it!”
