Yanzhou Chen stayed in Cao's Mansion, and Xi Zhicai was lying on the hospital bed. He was not in his usual mansion, or in other words, he didn't want a mansion. But now he could clearly feel that his life was passing by, and he would not live more than three months.
"Cough cough cough." Xi Zhicai started to cough a few times with difficulty. Cao Cao, who had been anxious all the time, hurried in after hearing this sound.
"Is Zhicai feeling better?" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai, who looked pale, looked a little depressed, and his hand holding the handkerchief was trembling slightly, and asked hopefully, how much he hoped Xi Zhicai would recover.
"Lord, let Zhongde come in. I have something to explain to him." Xi Zhicai waved his hand. He knew his fate. If Hua Tuo hadn't been present, he would have died. Maybe he can invite Hua Tuo now.
He could live another ten years, but could he? Hua Tuo could not leave Mount Tai, and he was protected when he came in and out. With the prescription for eradicating typhoid fever being vigorously promoted in Qingzhou, Hua Tuo had already entered the Sheng Temple.
"Zhicai!" Cao Cao shouted angrily when he saw Xi Zhicai starting to deal with military affairs again. Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were the advisers who truly turned to him when he was in the most difficult time, and they were extremely helpful to Cao Cao.
"Lord, there are some things that must be done. It's time for you to enter the pass. This is our last chance. Wen Ruo and Yuan Chang have laid everything out. The rest is up to you, instead of continuing to linger in the border.
Here, because of my illness, the matter of King Qin has been postponed a lot. If Yuan Liu succeeds in destroying Lu, we will have no chance." Xi Zhicai gasped, his breathing has become much more difficult now, and every breath is...
You can feel a heavy pull.
"..." Cao Cao's eyes were slightly red, but he refused to shed tears, "I'm going out, you have a good rest."
Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai to lie down, then covered him with a quilt and walked out silently. The moment he closed the door, he had a feeling that maybe he would never see Xi Zhicai again after this time.
Soon Cheng Yu walked in, and Xi Zhi opened his eyes without sitting up, "Zhongde, how is the arrangement going?"
"I have already arranged it according to your instructions, and I will wait until the time comes." Cheng Yu lowered his head with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Can Gongtai convince me?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"The public station did not give any reply to the news from Ziyuan. We went too far in Xuzhou. The public station was optimistic about the lord's courage and prowess, but Ziyuan gave an intelligence. The public station should want to vote for Liu Xuande.
." Cheng Yu sighed and said, it's a pity for Chen Gong. He was also an important minister under Cao Cao at the beginning, but it's a pity that he parted ways because of his compatibility with Cao Cao.
"Tell Chen Gongtai that Li Wenru is Li Ru and Jia Wenhe is Dong Zhongying's prime minister! Lu Bu will die if he goes!" Xi Zhicai said calmly.
"What? How is this possible?" Cheng Yu was shocked, and then he said with joy, "Hahaha, Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he actually recruited a traitor like Li Ru who killed the young emperor. We will definitely announce it.
It works wonders.”
"Don't think about it, there is no evidence, and there are two theories that it was Li Wenru who killed the young emperor. More importantly, Li Wenru's identity is Cai Bojie's friend, and Cai Zhaoji's uncle. Except for Cai Zhaoji, there is nothing anyone else can do about this identity. As for
Rumors are difficult to criticize, so we can only give the news to the public broadcaster and let him make his own judgment." Xi Zhicai said with his eyes closed.
"What a pity." Cheng Yu also understood that it was difficult to criticize Li You. After all, Li You's dual identities were Chen Xi's friend, Cai Bozhe's friend, and Cai Zhaoji's uncle. These two identities were enough to eliminate too many troubles.
"I am not going to die soon. From now on, my lord's hegemony will depend on you. Before that, I will pave all the roads for you." Xi Zhicai said with a pale face, "Today, Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu are both momentary heroes in the Central Plains.
In the north, there are four grain-producing areas and three horse-producing areas, so the winner of the two is destined to gain an advantage that is difficult for us to match."
"Sili Yongliang, Hanzhong Yizhou, if they are connected together, they can only protect themselves. I hope Liu Jingsheng or Sun Bofu can take advantage of the situation and sit in the southeast. In this way, they have taken advantage of the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, and we have taken advantage of the mountains and rivers
I can give the world a try." Xi Zhicai said with a wry smile. In fact, he knew very well that Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou were the most populous states and counties in the Central Plains.
Cheng Yu lowered his head. He also felt tremendous pressure. Unknowingly, Liu Bei had grown into a behemoth.
"Find Wenruo, Gongda, and Huber." Xi Zhicai saw Cheng Yu sighing and said.
Cheng Yu nodded and quickly found Xun Yu, Xun You, and Fan Qin. The four of them looked at each other and were speechless. Finally, Xi Zhi finally spoke.
"Wen Ruo, Gongda, and Huber, you three are the ones I can't understand the most under my lord's command. You haven't tried your best. Although I don't know your respective reasons, I hope that you can fully assist the lord after my death.
If you don't try your best like you are now, when Gongda comes to Xuzhou, I will accompany you on behalf of my lord." Xi Zhicai reluctantly sat up and bowed deeply to Xun You, which scared Xun You and nodded repeatedly, saying that he must try his best in the future.
"Huber, to be honest, I don't believe it. Can the Fan family really order you? The Fan family doesn't have the endless geniuses of the Xun family, nor the terrifying heritage of the older generation. How on earth can they order you?"
Zhicai looked at Fan Qin with cold eyes and asked.
"No one ordered me to do it. I did it myself. As for what you suspected, I can only say sorry." Fan Qin said with a frivolous expression.
"That's good." Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Please bear with me after I die."
"Gongda, Huber, you can go out first. I think Wen Ruo probably has something to say to me." When a person is about to die, many things have been put aside. After Xi Zhi finished explaining and got a satisfactory answer, he
He drove Xun You and Fan Qin out.
After Xun You and Fan Qin left, Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu were the only two people left in the room. Xi Zhicai looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo, we have known each other for twenty years."
"Yes, it's been more than twenty years." Xun Yu nodded.
"Who should succeed me after I die?" Xi Zhicai said, "And Wen Ruo, you should do your best."
"Gongda will take over the position of your mastermind. It's a pity that Fengxiao is the best candidate to succeed you." Xun Yu looked at Xi Zhicai and sighed. His puzzle pieces were broken due to an accident.
.
"I will use a spiritual talent in the future, and I will rely on you from now on. If I feel right, your spiritual talent can do it." Xi Zhicai asked. He had never been able to grasp Xun Yu's background. After all, he was the one before.
Soon he also discovered that he could not fully exploit Xun Yu's spiritual talents.
