"I didn't expect that when I arrived in Shanyang County, I would already see so many scattered Yellow Turbans. So wouldn't the north..."
"Yes, no wonder some people say that this time the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army is called a million people. At first I thought it was just a bluff of tens of thousands of people, but from now on, including those bandits who call themselves the Yellow Turban Army, maybe millions
The number is still slightly insufficient.”
"Sure enough, Zi Lian, you are a crow's mouth. Looking at it now, let alone Bao Jibei, even the Yanzhou governor Liu Dai has no time to estimate what is happening in Jizhou in the north. How can he protect himself under the attack of the Yellow Turban Army?
The fundamental ground is his top priority now. But think about how he would feel when he sent out troops knowing that his retreat was cut off? Haha..."
Although I haven't decided whether to fully follow Yuan Shao's request, choosing to go directly north from Pei State instead of going west shows something. Therefore, the current internal atmosphere of Cao Cao's army is quite relaxed, although he encountered many Yellow Turbans along the way.
The stragglers of the army - of course, these Yellow Turban troops, who were in groups of thirty or fifty, with no more than a few hundred people at most, did not dare to "offend" this huge official army of thousands of people, but for the reconnaissance cavalry and scouts of Cao Cao's army,
But it is also a rare "hunting" opportunity.
So just a few days after leaving Pei State, these generals of Cao Cao's army took advantage of this opportunity to gain a lot of experience.
"Mengde, are you still unwilling to accept it now? In fact, if you look at it from another angle, maybe things are not as bad as you think. It's just because Mengde has been blinded by other things that you are so hesitant now.
.”
Cao Cao, who was not very energetic along the way, suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears. He looked up. It was Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren. In the distance, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong, although still controlling the troops, also surrendered from time to time.
Come pay attention.
"Did I worry you? Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Although the relationship between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be said to have gone through too many storms, and they even made a lifelong agreement (Fog), he is also very clear that although there is Shanyang in his team now,
There are people like Li who don't have much favorable impressions of Li Shushi, but there are more people like Cao Ren and the Xiahou brothers who are inextricably linked to the Bingzhou Army, not to mention the feelings between the generals and the Bingzhou Army.
It is an extremely subtle existence.
Therefore, when acting, Cao Cao always felt that he might not be able to ignore certain demands of such a special group.
However, looking at the serious expression on Cao Ren's face, Cao Cao felt that maybe he was thinking too much.
Well, no matter what Cao Cao becomes, one of his settings will not be left out. That is his suspicion.
It's just that compared to some third-rate ambitious men, Cao Cao is better at concealing his emotions. So although there are not many people who can see it, these few people in front of them don't feel Cao Cao's feelings. In other words,
As Cao Cao's relatives, they don't need to worry about this matter. Cao Cao will also show the greatest tolerance to them. After all, if even your relatives no longer support you, then what about those so-called "foreign ministers"?
How many can you believe?
"Ren and the generals actually have a question to ask the lord." This time it was Cao Ren who had a serious face and even a slightly intimidating aura, "We want to know what the lord's ambition is. Now the coalition forces
Already in name only, the princes from all over the country have returned and started fighting overtly and covertly for power. It can be said that even if the Han Dynasty can continue, power will probably fall into the hands of powerful princes. Dong Zhuo is the first, but he will definitely not be the last.
one."
Seeing Cao Cao gradually sinking into deep thought, Cao Ren didn't seem satisfied: "What about my lord? My lord wants to do something great to achieve great fame and carve out a stable paradise for the people who have suffered from war.
Or do you just want to be a good minister under a certain prince, and conquer the world for him, and then go down in history as a minister who follows the dragon?"
After a pause, Cao Ren glanced at Xiahou Dun and saw that he nodded to him, then he continued:
"You are our lord, so no matter what choice you make, as brothers from the same clan, we will fully support your decision and use the lord's goal as the direction of struggle. But if you do not have a definite goal, then we will
We will become at a loss as to what to do, and in the end we can only act according to our own ideas. Over time, I am afraid that it will become a ball of loose sand."
"My son's words of filial piety are serious. According to what you say, Li Xue's Bingzhou will turn into a mess."
"Well... I believe that my lord should know better than Ren what the thoughts of those around Li Bingzhou are like."
"Is that so? It's just that if I choose to be a minister of the dragon, then although you will still help me, the status of monarch and minister between us will only end here. I want to hear the truth
words, so don’t lie to me.”
"This...if that's the case, since you don't have the power to open a mansion, my lord, I'm afraid we are powerless."
"I understand. Thanks to Zixiao, Yuan Rang and others for reminding me, I know what I should do."
As if he had made up his mind, Cao Cao's aura also changed a lot, and the people who noticed this change were Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others as relatives, or Li Qian and Li Dian as foreign ministers.
Everyone had expressions of happiness, excitement and recognition on their faces. It was obvious that such a lord was the one they were really willing to entrust their future to.
But where these people didn't notice, Cao Cao felt the changes in his body as his mind changed.
This feeling, this burning feeling...
Feeling the burning feeling in his heart that his blood was about to boil, Cao Cao felt that the air he exhaled was no longer ordinary air, but the smell of sulfur and fire, washing his nasal cavity and mouth over and over again.
Then the heat began to shrink and gather, and was finally compressed into a wonderful point emitting infinite heat three inches below the navel. Although there was no pain or discomfort except for the burning sensation, Cao Cao still saw before him
He had the illusion that his internal organs were being burned violently. He shuddered as he felt like he was in a hot desert.
The point that exuded infinite heat didn't seem to be very peaceful. It continued to move up along the direction of the spine, and it still took two steps forward and one step back. The burning sensation up and down made Cao Cao feel like he was seeing something in a trance.
There was a kind of delicacy called "barbecue" that Li Shushi liked to treat him to, but this time he changed from a diner to a prey being grilled by the flames.
At this time, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, who were beside Cao Cao, also felt something unusual. Although they didn't know what kind of changes Cao Cao was going through now, because of their experience of taking the fruit themselves and watching others take it, Cao Ren
He still had some experience with similar changes. So under his command, he, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren jointly protected Cao Cao, while Xiahou Yuan conveyed an order to the entire army to suspend the march and set up camp.
"Zixiao. Is there really nothing wrong with my lord?" Xiahou Dun's expression showed deep uneasiness and worry.
"No one can say for sure about this kind of thing. Although the master's expression is slightly painful, there is nothing abnormal about his pulse."
Li Shushi's Bingzhou Army highly praised the profession of battlefield medics. Although due to the strange laws of this strange plane, bleeding and even infection can be solved if they can be treated with magic in time. Therefore, the demand for battlefield medics does not seem to be
It’s not too big. But considering the rarity of the civil service profession and the common tasks it carries, Li Shushi still works in Su Xiao
With the help of Loli, some battlefield medical officers were trained. These people do not need to know much advanced medical knowledge. As long as they can do some hemostatic bandaging, disinfection and treatment of some common diseases, they can not only alleviate the pain of civil servants and witch doctors.
Work, allowing them to devote themselves to places that need them more. It can also prevent morale from falling due to untimely treatment.
When Cao Ren was in Bingzhou, he was like a sponge. In addition to absorbing various martial arts, military arts and legal knowledge, he also absorbed a lot of miscellaneous knowledge. Among them, the medical skills were obtained from Huang Zhong, although he was originally
Learning this knowledge is more about hoping to have a better body and bones like Huang Zhong, but in this case, it also has some unexpected effects.
However, Cao Ren's words at best made the mood of the generals around Cao Cao change from panic to worry, and the clouds of sadness still hung over him.
And while everything is busy outside, what has become of Cao Cao, who is suffering from nerves?
After going all the way up, the scorching heat that was originally located three inches below the navel passed through the chest and directly reached the Yintang point on the head without stopping. By the way, should Cao Cao's hallucination change from roasting his internal organs to being drizzled with hot boiling oil?
What about the monkey brain?
But in fact, when the burning sensation left his spine and entered his brain, Cao Cao did not feel the unbearable feeling as before. Instead, a sudden realization rose in his mind. His past, his ambition,
His ambition...all his psychological activities seemed to flow through his mind in this short moment, allowing him to understand his goals and pursuits, and at the same time, it also allowed him to see his potential and
Changes caused by sudden mysterious feelings.
This is the legend that appears every time in troubled times. No matter who you are, as long as you get this profession, you can achieve great achievements, big or small, but no one knows how to change jobs and become a hero in this profession?
Slowly opening his eyes, Cao Cao saw a pair of men with a mixture of concern and worry in their eyes. A confident smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and this smile was also the most compelling smile he had shown since Hongnong's defeat.
.
"It seems that my lord got an unexpected harvest this time." Cao Ren felt that Cao Cao's current state was very similar to the feeling when he rushed out of the illusion set by the fruit, and his momentum seemed to be better than before, so
There is a saying.
"It is indeed an unexpected surprise. Maybe I am indeed blessed by destiny, but I also have to thank you for your advice. It is precisely because of your encouragement that Mr. Cao made the decision he made today. I hope you can still be able to do it in the future
Keep helping me."
"You dare to refuse to die!"
"Okay, don't stop, target Jibei, move forward at full speed!"
"This... Lord. Because of your strange behavior just now, we issued the order to set up camp not long ago. Now you want to move forward at full speed. This... I'm afraid the soldiers will be a little resentful."
"Jili Gulu Jili Varusili Gulu..." Cao Cao felt that he should just look at the 45° sky and cry silently.
And just when Cao Cao finally figured out his own future path, a good show was also going on in the Prefectural Mufu in Jinyang City.
"Lord Zhou Mu, do you think that just by consolidating yourself you can make others forget about the existence of Bingzhou? This is too naive."
"But always thinking about weakening the enemy and forgetting about increasing one's own strength is like a person who forgets the foundation and wants to build a castle in the air. What he will get in the end is a sudden collapse. I don't know if Mr. Gong Yu thinks the theory is right.
.”
"Master Zhou Mu has misunderstood what I meant. Now I am not asking Master Zhou Mu to give up on gaining his own strength. In fact, Master Zhou Mu has done quite well on this point. I just hope that Master Zhou Mu will be here.
Perhaps while our own strength is growing, we should also find ways to weaken the strength of those potential opponents. In fact, there is a pretty good opportunity now."
"I was promoted by the late Emperor to achieve what I am today. Therefore, in order to repay the late Emperor's kindness, I naturally have to work hard to fulfill the late Emperor's last wish. Although the current situation is chaotic, it is not easy to achieve this goal, but I will not
If you feel discouraged because of this, you will work harder. But you won’t be able to focus on other things because of it.”
"I empathize with Lord Zhou Mu's loyalty. It's just like what Lord Zhou Mu said. In this complicated situation, even if you want to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, you still need enough to achieve your goals.
Only strength can support you. Mr. Zhou Mu is like
The reason why you feel it is more difficult to achieve your goals today is because you are not strong enough yet. So why not take this opportunity to enhance your own strength on the one hand. On the other hand, you can also deter those who block your ambitions and hold you back.
It’s not like killing two birds with one stone.”
"Yuan Benchu and I have known each other for several years. Although we cannot be said to be close friends, we can still be considered to have some understanding of each other. Even if we have conflicts over some things, the other party is still the fourth generation of the Han family.
As the big families are all Han ministers now, they should jointly contribute their share to the stability and unity of the Han Dynasty, Mr. Gong and Sir, you say yes or no."
Regarding Li Shushi's somewhat arrogant remarks, even with Jushu's restraint, he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth and eyes trembled intermittently at the same time. However, he had to endure it because he was very clear about the positions of both parties and the possible intentions of the other party.
Of course, for this reason, Li Shushi's evaluation in Ju Shou's mind actually increased slightly. If Li Shushi knew this result, would he jump three feet high regardless of the situation? This is indeed very worrying.
"I'm afraid Lord Zhou Mu doesn't know something," he said, even Jushou himself didn't quite believe it, but in order to achieve his goal, Jushou still didn't give up on Li Shushi, a guy who looked a bit like a wavelet SS.
treat.
"It is precisely because Master Zhou Mu has some understanding of Yuan Shao, and because the generals he relies on, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and others have either had close contacts with Master Zhou Mu or have fought against him before, that is why he treats Zhou Mu
The presence of adults and Bingzhou makes it difficult for them to sleep or eat well.
And despite the fact that the Yuan family is a rare family of four generations and three princes in my Han Dynasty, their ambitions are not much less than those of Zhang Jue and Dong Zhuo. Even in the past, when my lord followed Yuan Shao and raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo,
Yuan Shao once threatened to defeat Dong Zhuo and enter
How can I force His Majesty to abdicate from the capital and support a puppet who is more in line with my own wishes? Moreover, I regard Master Zhoumu and your Bingzhou as needing to be eliminated as Dong Zhuo, even because Bingzhou is right next to his bed.
It is better than being expelled from Luo
Dong Zhuo, who is Yang, should give priority to getting rid of the target. "People do not harm tigers, but tigers harm people's hearts." If Mr. Zhou Mu did not take precautions in advance, not to mention that the story that happened in Hedong will still happen, and there will be more.
There are many conspiracies waiting for Mr. Zhou Mu."
"My husband and I said that Benchu wanted to conspire to overthrow Li. And Benchu also said that your lord had this intention. Who is right or wrong, haha..."
"No matter who started this topic first, Yuan Shao's disobedience has been clearly revealed. My lord already knows that he is not qualified to hold an official position in the Han Dynasty, but he does not want other disobedient people to continue there.
Provocative is
No. Lord Zhoumu has always been a loyal minister of my great Han Dynasty, and he is also a good official who can make the people under his rule stable and prosperous. Therefore, by entrusting hundreds of thousands of people in Jizhou to Lord Zhoumu, my lord can be regarded as gaining some conscience.
Comforted."
"I remember that the Korean Festival should be just a Jizhou governor, and the public should know his rights better than me. So when can such a Korean festival be able to represent the county governors and people in the county? Could it be that I am a big man?
I don’t know when the governor with six hundred stone became as powerful as the governor of the state with two thousand stone.”
"This is what my lord can provide for you. Even if my lord cannot compare with the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes in his family life, the Yingchuan Family Group and the Runan Family Group are not completely of the same mind. Let alone this time
After all, Yuan Shao was a little impatient because he failed to raise troops to challenge Dong, so he
The support we can get is not as great as it seems on the surface. What's more, as far as I know, Mr. Zhou Mu is not completely without any foundation in Jizhou, so as long as our two families join forces, Mr. Zhou Mu will be able to grasp enough
Let Mr. Zhou Mu have the power to fulfill the late emperor’s last wish and a stable rear environment.”
"So what do you want to gain from it?"
"We? My lord just wants to pay a little price to those who persecuted him. Of course, at the same time, we also hope that the people of Jizhou can welcome a master who is more suitable for them."
Jushou had a confident smile on his face, and it was obvious that he felt that Li Shushi opposite him had shown an expression of excitement.
In this way, this trip was finally not in vain. (To be continued...)
ps: I have been busy working in the factory from Friday to today, and I got up at five o'clock in the morning to say hello to some sanitation workers who had just come to work. So not only was I exhausted, but I also unfortunately contracted the cold and suffered terribly.
, this week’s update needs to be saved again. No.
After all kinds of twists and turns, the machine was finally assembled by my own hands. Although I may encounter various problems in the subsequent debugging process, please let us enjoy it first. Well, look
It’s quite a sense of accomplishment to see things on the drawings gradually turn into real objects~
