Chapter 200: Is the "trench" inhumane, or is it inhumane?
"Shop Manager Yi, I didn't expect you to be quite good at solving cases."
Guo Jia praised...
Yi Xiaotian still looked modest. "I understand a little, I understand a little..."
"Shopkeeper Yi, please don't be humble. Shopkeeper Yi is the first to make me, Guo Jia, lose three battles in a row."
Guo Jia raised his wine bowl and took the initiative to offer a bowl to Yi Xiaotian. "Although I, Guo Jia, admire you, I still have a lot of time. I will not admit defeat."
Regardless of Guo Jia's disorderly life style, he is still very stubborn when it comes to betting, and he is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.
"Haha... drink, drink."
Yi Xiaotian didn't answer his words, he just kept urging him to drink...
As the saying goes, Guo Fengxiao was born with a special love for wine in the cup... but the guarantee is not enough. Let this brother drink it happily, and there won't be so many evil thoughts.
…
…
Yi Xiaotian was drinking, flirting with girls, and gambling heavily.
On the other hand, things are changing on Cao Cao's side.
Xuzhou, Xiapi City.
"Thank you Cao Sikong for not killing..."
The sun was setting over a dilapidated farm outside Xiapi City.
Cao Cao came incognito, accompanied by Jia Xu and escorted by Cao Ren.
And in front of him, an eight-foot tall man who looked like soft clay was lying on the bed, Youzi panting.
The eyebrows are still the same pair of sword eyebrows that blend into the sky and penetrate the forehead into the temples;
The eyes are still that handsome and beautiful;
It’s just that the pearl-embedded door, the two dragons fighting for treasures, and the dazzling silver crown in his usual attire are gone, and the pride of carrying the Fang Tian painted halberd and stepping on the red rabbit horse is also gone, and his arrogance and character are also gone.
Nothing left.
That's right, he is Lu Bu, a useless man whose martial arts has been completely abolished - Lu Bu.
At this time, he lowered his posture and shouted loudly, as if... in order to save his life, everything was not so important.
"Fengxian, don't blame me, you are a fierce tiger. I won't be able to sleep well until I pull out my fangs." Cao Cao whispered... He seemed to enjoy this, and after defeating his opponent, he stood proudly in front of his opponent.
The feeling in front of you.
"Hahaha... Tiger? Hahaha..." Lu Bu laughed out loud. "In front of Cao Sikong, no matter how fierce the tiger is, it will probably end up as a house cat, right?"
…
A few pleasantries...
Lu Bu tried his best to hold himself up. At this time, his whole body was limp.
This is the reaction after breaking the tendons. It will take a month to gain some strength. As for practicing martial arts, it is impossible to practice martial arts again in this life.
Lu Bu opened his eyes and looked around at the people in front of him. Except for Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba were all brought over...
Regarding their loyalty, Lu Bu had never expected that these generals, whom he had never really valued, turned out to be the most loyal and courageous people, the ones who would never abandon him...
On the contrary, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng, whom he valued very much, all turned their backs on him in the end.
Haha, Lu Bu himself felt that his taste in looking at people was really bad.
"you…"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and the others... "Ahem..." There seemed to be a touch in his heart, which was accompanied by strength in his body bones... and severe pain hit him one after another.
"General..." Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba all raised their hands. Seeing Lu Bu's appearance, they were both heartbroken and distressed.
"You must be loyal to Cao Sikong from now on..."
Lü Bu comforted him and said that he was sincere. As the saying goes, a good bird will choose its tree to roost, and loyal people should be loyal to their lord who is more worthy of their loyalty. In this regard, Lü Bu knew that he was far from Cao Cao.
"This will not only bring you fame and hegemony, but also...also..."
Lu Bu finally hesitated to speak...
What he actually wants to say is that Cao Cao has expert guidance around him. Isn't the purpose of keeping him, Lu Bu, alive just for the loyalty of these tribesmen? If you are not loyal to Cao Cao, his life, Lu Bu's, will be meaningless!
but…
It seemed that Lu Bu was aware that these words might arouse Cao Cao's resentment, and it seemed that Lu Bu was unwilling to expose the existence of this master behind the scenes.
Simply, he closed his mouth and waved his hand gently. "Go and meet your true master."
"Here..." Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba handed over their hands. This was their last act of loyalty to their former lord Lu Bu!
To be honest, after seeing Cao Cao not killing Lu Bu, everyone admired Cao Cao. It takes such a big heart to spare the life of a sworn enemy...
Coupled with Lu Bu's instructions... why don't you guys have any grudges in their hearts? Now that you are loyal and loyal, and you follow the Ming Lord, why not do it?
After thinking about this, they all turned their heads and bowed to Cao Cao. "Greetings, my lord..."
Huo…
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and hurriedly helped the three people in front of him.
Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba were all generals he had long admired and dreamed of taking under his command.
Cao Cao's mind suddenly changed...
Sure enough, Brother Yi is good at planning. This is almost at the minimum price, in exchange for the greatest loyalty of Lu Bu's tribe. Now that he is pleased to mention the three divine generals, Cao Cao feels extremely sad in his heart.
Haha, Cao Cao thought he had done a great job in winning over people's hearts, but Brother Yi used some tricks and achieved results that even Cao Cao would admire.
"Get up, get up, get up..." Cao Cao's tone was very polite, and he was very brotherly. Before long, he was already arming himself with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Zang Ba... looking very intimate.
Finally, he turned his head and looked at Lu Bu.
"Fengxian, I have made arrangements here. There will be a dedicated person to protect you and take care of you... You can rest assured here and don't dwell on the disputes in the world anymore."
The meaning of Cao Cao's words is very obvious. Just stay patient and survive as long as possible...
As for your generals and your women, don't even think about it... I, ah no, my brother Yi and I have all been collected for you.
Ha ha…
…
…
The dust has settled.
The battle of Xuzhou was completely settled, and Lu Bu disappeared into the long river of history.
His most valiant general, his wife Madam Yan, will follow Cao Cao and continue their journey towards Wei Wu hegemony...
As for Diao Chan, Cao Cao has already ordered her to settle down peacefully. He will return to Xudu after all the affairs here are settled. When the teacher returns to the court, it is time for Brother Yi to take the beauty back home.
It seems that everything is on track again.
But what Cao Cao didn't know was that Youzhou far to the north...
The battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao has also come to an end...
Gongsun Zan, who had fought his last battle, was defeated, and Youzhou fell completely.
He made the final and most pertinent evaluation of Yuan Shao - Yuan Benchu used his troops like a ghost or a monster.
Later, Gongsun Zan's head was ruthlessly taken off by Yuan Shao, put into a carriage, and quickly transported to Xudu... presented to the emperor, presented to Cao Cao...
This is not just a head, this is a deterrent...a deterrent from the big brother Yuan Shao.
The north has been decided, and the war that will determine the situation for the next five hundred years is about to begin!
…
In the government office.
"Mengde, Xuzhou City has a lot of fine iron and steel!"
Xiahou Dun couldn't help laughing... "If these fine irons are used to make war halberds, then the combat effectiveness of our three armies will definitely be raised to a higher level."
It's no wonder that Xiahou Dun was so happy. Iron, especially high-quality iron, has a price but no market.
It’s extremely difficult to buy even on the black market…
"Bintie..." It seems that Cao Cao was not very interested when it came to Bintie...
"I know." He said perfunctorily and avoided the topic.
Xiahou Dun scratched his head, he was a little confused... Wasn't it just for the iron that captured Pi?
He couldn't help but quietly asked Jia Xu beside him.
"Military advisor? Tell me? What happened to Meng De? Why is it that when I mention iron and steel, he is not enthusiastic at all?"
"Well..." Jia Xu narrowed his eyes...then shook his head. "I can't say, I can't say... General Xiahou, don't ask anymore, I won't say anything! Haha..."
Jia Xu, the big liar, started playing riddles, and Xiahou Dun became more and more confused...
Of course, Jia Xu's heart is like a mirror... There is no way to explain this matter.
I can't tell the generals that I finally captured Xiapi and finally obtained this fine iron and iron. But now, this truckload of iron and iron is being transported to Youjian Villa... I won't take a penny, and if I can't guarantee the freight, I'll have to pay for it myself.
Unfortunately, this is not the point...
The point is, it is estimated that one day in the future, Cao Cao will have to spend a lot of money to buy back this batch of fine iron and steel from Youjian Villa.
Huh... Jia Xu exhaled a long breath.
He thought about it, it seemed that except for Cao Cao, the "big fat sheep", no leek... could do such a thing?
Is Cao Cao's "trench" inhumane?
Or Yi Xiaotian is "not at all" inhumane, Jia Xu is stupid and can't tell the difference anyway.
