"——Dong Zhuo is about to be killed by his adopted son Lu Bu. When you see that the situation is not right, don't hesitate and run away!"
You hold the bamboo slips sent by your daughter Cai Zhaoji in your hands.
Every word here kept echoing in my mind.
Cai Yong's face seemed to be filled with blood, and he looked at the bamboo slips like a monster...
The predictions were right, all the predictions were right, Yi Xiaotian's predictions were all right.
If he had some opinions about Yi Xiaotian before, now, he had to carefully examine this guy again.
Chang'an and Chen Liu were thousands of miles away from each other, but he keenly understood the changes in the court situation, described it word for word, and delivered it to Cai Yong at the right time!
What incredible insight is this? What kind of keen judgment on the current situation is this?
Huh... take a long breath, no wonder in the past, daughter Zhao Ji would rather disobey her father's orders and go with him. This man is not as unbearable as imagined, he is... not simple!
"Lord Cai Yong? We... what should we do?"
Seeing that Cai Yong was stunned, his confidants kept asking questions... The situation is changing, good and bad are unpredictable, and decisions must be made early now.
"This..." Cai Yong frowned tightly.
If he were to hear this news normally, although he would be surprised, he would definitely not care too much...
After all, his status is very special and he is a famous person in the world.
What's more, when Dong Zhuo recruited him, he threatened the lives of Cai Yong's family and children. If they could not be saved, he, Cai Yong, could easily get rid of the involvement in the Dong thief case!
But…
The bamboo slips clearly read - run away!
There is even a line of analysis - if you can't run away, the Cai family's wisdom will be ruined...
Zhuyu first, Yi Xiaotian's prediction in the first half was not wrong at all, then... in the second half, Cai Yong had to think again and again...
Could it be that Cai Yong, a well-known Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty, would be buried in a different place and his reputation would be ruined because of Dong Zhuo's involvement?
Think of this.
Cai Yong's brows furrowed even more, and he turned around to ask his confidants. "I have been in contact with Lu Bu. He is brave and intrepid. He will never come up with the idea of murdering Dong Xiangguo? I'm afraid there is someone else behind this plan."
?”
"It must be Wang Yun!" The confidant said without hesitation. "This Diao Chan is Wang Yun's adopted daughter..."
Huo…it turns out to be Wang Yun!
"Honey trap!"
Cai Yong murmured something, but he quickly came back to his senses.
Cai Yong and Wang Yun had a lot of friction both in and out of the court. With Wang Yun's temperament, failure to protect him would really involve him in Dong Zhuo's case...
No, it’s not that the guarantees are incomplete, but that Wang Yun will definitely do this.
Huh... another long breath.
Cai Yong stared closely at the four words "run away" on the bamboo slip, and then there was silence... a long silence. These four words conveyed by Yi Xiaotian through his daughter's pen were very meaningful!
One breath…
Two breaths…
...For ten breaths, Cai Yong's eyes widened, as if he had made some decision, and his whole person became nervous.
"Quickly, tell all our people to leave Chang'an... No matter where you go, hide first! Wait until this disaster is over before you worry about it!"
"Okay...okay!" His confidant had already lost his backbone.
As long as Master Cai Yong orders him, he will do it immediately...
Now, the city of Chang'an is in chaos, and the armor of the Prime Minister's Mansion is fighting in the streets with Lu Bu's soldiers. For a while, Wang Yun can't take care of Cai Yong and the others. If he doesn't run away now, when will he wait?
"Horse? Prepare your horse...I don't want all the ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. Leave first, leave this place of right and wrong!"
The drizzle continued, in the wind, in the rain, Cai Yong repeatedly greeted everyone in the house. At this moment, he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy!
…
…
Yanzhou, Chenliu County.
September is a day worth remembering.
Thirty-eight-year-old Cao Cao was elected as the shepherd of Yanzhou as he wished by the Yanzhou clan and officials. Wei Wu's hegemony is now set sail.
But…
Cao Cao, who became the shepherd of Yanzhou, did not live a stable life for a day, and the current situation is still not optimistic.
Yanzhou is too poor, with a shortage of soldiers, few generals, and little food...
Within the territory, the Yellow Turban Army, which had killed the previous governor of Yanzhou, was sharpening its sword. Hundreds of thousands of ragtag troops were ready to launch a general attack on Yanzhou at any time.
Outside the country, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and other princes were looking at him with eager eyes.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, Cao Cao decided to use a hearty victory to boost morale and give Yanzhou new vitality.
But? It backfired...
In the first battle between Cao Cao and the Yellow Turban Army, Zhao Yu was defeated and returned.
If his good brother Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, had not sacrificed his life to save him, Cao Cao would probably have lost his head at this time.
Looking at Bao Xin's body, Cao Cao, who had always loved to smile, shed tears for the first time. He swore that he would avenge Bao Xin and defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou!
However, the army was disorganized and morale was low. Looking around, there was not a single adviser who could discuss matters.
"Alas..." Cao Cao let out a long sigh.
But at this time.
"Mengde, Mengde..." Cao Ren hurriedly broke into Chenliu County's government office. "I'm so happy, so happy..."
"Why are you so happy?"
"In Chang'an City, the thief Dong Zhuo was killed by his adopted son Lu Bu. There is news that it was because of a woman!"
Cao Ren's words have just come to fruition...
call out…
In the flash of lightning, Cao Cao seemed to have thought of something.
Dong Zhuo died at the hands of a woman? Isn't this what the shopkeeper Yi Xiaotian made a bet with him in "that wine shop" in Suanzao County?
During this time, Cao Cao was busy with military and government affairs in Yanzhou, and he almost forgot about this bet!
Today I suddenly thought of...
Cao Cao's face tightened and he murmured: "Surprisingly, one of his words came true!"
"Meng De? You mean..." Cao Ren was halfway through speaking...
But Cao Cao suddenly stood up. "Zi Xiao, prepare your horse."
"So urgent? Where are you going?" Cao Ren reminded hurriedly: "In an hour, aren't we going to inspect the three armies?"
"I'm not going!" Cao Cao waved his hand. "There are more important things now. Come with me to the wine shop in Suanzao County!"
I see.
Cao Ren nodded.
But Cao Cao paused. "Oops, I forgot to buy the recipe for Jiu Niang Spring Wine from my hometown in Qiao County. I'm willing to admit defeat!"
"Haha..." Cao Ren smiled lightly. "Meng De, don't panic. I expected you to lose all along. I sent someone to buy this formula half a month ago... Now, take it with you!"
Cao Cao was overjoyed, grinned, and finally showed a slight smile. He patted Cao Ren on the shoulder.
"here you go!"
After that, the two people quickly left the government office, got on their horses, and sped towards Suanzao County!
…
Along the way…
The name "Yi Xiaotian" kept flashing in Cao Cao's mind.
Being able to tell that Cao Cao has taken control of Yanzhou, and being able to understand the situation of the court thousands of miles away, maybe...he has a strategy for Yanzhou to break the situation in his chest?
For a moment, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with light of great expectation.
