In Yuan Shao's mansion, a group of children from aristocratic families attended the banquet and left. In Yuan Shao's study, Yuan Shao was already a little drunk and sitting on a chair. Next to him, Cao Cao, dressed in casual clothes, was looking at a map of Youji hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back. , the map is dotted with various marks.
Yuan Shao took a sip of tea, unbuttoned his collar and opened his chest because the wine was too hot. He felt a little more comfortable and cool and said: "Mengde! Today you have been hesitant to talk. Now everyone is having a drink, and you are in a hurry again." Drag me to the study, what do you want to do!" In the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Shao is a graceful and noble son of the Yuan family. However, he and Cao Cao grew up wearing crotchless pants, and rarely showed vulgarity in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao touched his chin and stared at the map for a long time and said: "I don't understand why the Goryeo army retreated at this time!" After a moment of silence, he continued: "This is definitely an excellent time to attack Jizhou. The Han army is in Youzhou. The Goryeo army was defeated miserably, and the Goryeo army was at its peak. And as far as I know, Goguryeo and the Joseon dynasty in the Goryeo civilization area were new to Youzhou, and they were strong troops. And the elite troops of our Han army in Youzhou were almost completely wiped out, and the people Everyone heard that the Goryeo barbarians had changed their colors and their morale was low. And because of the conflict between Liu Yu and Han Fu, the entire Jizhou was now in chaos. Although the Evolvers were enthusiastic about fighting the barbarians, their strength was not comparable to the regular army. Attack! At this time, the Goryeo troops gave up such a perfect opportunity, and something must have changed behind them!"
"That's right! It's Bo Xi who you've never forgotten. He created a miracle. He led his lone army deep into the Snow Wolf Valley, captured the Snow Wolf Castle, and choked the Goryeo troops. He had two consecutive bloody battles with the Goryeo troops and swallowed up The 200,000 elite troops of Goguryeo and the Goryeo Dynasty destroyed the Li Dynasty's one million reinforcements, causing the Li Dynasty's troops to retreat and unable to move forward in front of Snow Wolf Castle!" Yuan Shao gently rubbed his forehead, his eyes became sharp. And Mingliang raised his head and threw a piece of shadow crystal to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took the spar incredulously and saw that in the spar, Qin Ge used himself as a battle flag and was leading his troops in a bloody battle with the Goryeo barbarians. Feeling the brutality of the battle and Qin Ge's solemn and solemn look at death, Cao Cao's eyes were a little moist.
Cao Cao clenched the image crystal in his hand and said excitedly and puzzled: "Ben Chu! Where did you get this?"
Yuan Shao found a more comfortable position and lay down, with a smile on his lips and said: "Meng De! Although you are modest on the outside, you are extremely arrogant in your heart. I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can put you in their eyes." Ah! Not to mention those evolvers! You have to know that if you keep looking up at the sky, you won't be able to understand the path under your feet!" Yuan Shao teased Cao Cao with an inexplicable smile!
Cao Cao felt a little ashamed when he heard this, but he smiled cheekily and said, "Please give me some advice from Ben Chu!"
Yuan Shao took a sip of tea to suppress the alcohol and said: "My attitude towards the evolved people was similar to yours before, but when I saw Qin Boxi for the first time on the Yellow Turban battlefield, my impression of the evolved people changed greatly. Because there are heroes like Qin Boxi among the evolvers! Yes! Yes, they are heroes! Among the people I have met in this life, only Qin Boxi can be worthy of the word hero! So I began to have in-depth contact with this group!" At this point A smug smile appeared on Yuan Shao's lips.
Yuan Shao paused and said: "I know from the elders in my family that the Immortals intervened to fight against the Hulu. The Nanhua Immortals, Mohists, etc. sent a large number of elite disciples into Youzhou. And from the Evolvers, I know all the developments of Qin Boxi!"
Cao Cao took a deep look at Yuan Shao. At this moment, he had a little more respect and fear for this brother, because Yuan Shao was far beyond his comparison in terms of tolerance and tolerance. Cao Cao frowned and said: "Since Brother Benchu knows such an important thing, Intelligence, why don't you stand up and speak a fair word for Qin Boxi!" Because of the political struggle in the court, many people pointed the finger at Qin Ge. Qin Ge was about to become a victim of the political struggle. If this kind of military information could be conveyed to the court, Don't worry, Qin Ge's situation will definitely not be as difficult as it is now.
Yuan Shao rubbed his forehead and said: "Meng De! You are too domineering! This is not how you play politics! Do you think those people in the court don't know about Qin Boxi? It's just that I am among the generals now. With support, his confidant Dong Zhuo has outstanding military exploits in the western battlefield, and Sun Jian, Zhang Yang, Ma Teng and other poor generals he single-handedly promoted have performed even more dazzlingly. If another Qin Boyxi appears in the northeastern battlefield, do you think it will be more important to the Shi Changshi, the gentry and Liu Is this a good thing for the clan?”
When Cao Cao heard this, the veins on his forehead suddenly popped out and he gritted his teeth and said: "These bastards! Qin Boxi is risking his life on the front line, but they do such a thing behind the scenes. They simply ignore the interests of the country. It is really a shame for the Han! A shame for the Han!" Cao Cao felt in his heart. He immediately felt a deep hatred for the nobles, but more importantly, he felt sad for Qin Ge's death, because he didn't know when these nobles would treat him like this!
Yuan Shao shook his head and said: "Disregarding national interests? No! No! Meng De! These old guys are all old foxes. They eat more salt than you and my brothers eat. They understand the situation better than anyone else. As for Qin Boxi! They are just maximizing his value! Externally, Qin Boxi is using his life to buy time in the Northeast battlefield, and this time the Goryeo Hulu are shrinking their forces. Any fool can figure out what they are going to do. When the time comes, the Northern Expedition Army will be commanded by Qin Boxi. He is bound to be cut into pieces by a thousand swords! There will be no bones left! Moreover, Qin Boxi is now possessed by the ancient thaumaturgy Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book. According to the news from the Evolvers, he has been burned together with the enemy in that battle! One of them is already dead. What's the use of the dead Qin Boxi? It's better to use him as an excuse to attack the power of the general, so as to achieve the balance of the forces in the court! This is what all the forces want to see most! Meng De! You understand now Yet?"
When Cao Cao heard Yuan Shao's words, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his forehead. Qin Ge died on the battlefield for the country. However, these forces in the court did not care about his achievements at all, and they were so callous and ruthless in slandering the name he gave his life for. , these dirty vultures are so vicious.
Yuan Shao stood up from his seat, patted Cao Cao's shoulder lightly and said: "Meng De! We are all still young. You will understand some things only after you have experienced them! Although you are extremely smart, we can't play with it. Those old foxes! I am telling you this today just to tell you, don’t be too desperate with the general, otherwise Qin Boxi will be the future of you and my brother! When the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked! This is the eternal story Perfect!"
After saying that, Yuan Shao untied his clothes and said, "It's so late! Meng De, you won't stay overnight tonight!"
Yuan Shao was shirtless. He and Cao Cao had been playing naked since childhood, so Yuan Shao had no scruples or image at all in front of Cao Cao. He picked up a cup of tea from the table and prepared to drink some tea to suppress the alcohol before going to bed!
Cao Cao woke up from his complicated expression and said with a heavy tone: "I came here this time to persuade you to take over as the governor of Jizhou! Because according to my analysis, Jizhou is one of the base camps of your Yuan family. Your Yuan family has been running it for many years, and the court has You are the only one in the palace who has the ability to go to Jizhou to stabilize the chaotic situation and help Uncle Liu fight against the barbarians!"
When Yuan Shao heard this, he took a sip of tea and spit it out. The tea choked on his lungs. Yuan Shao covered his mouth and coughed violently. Cao Cao said speechlessly: "Benchu! Your reaction is a little too big!"
Yuan Shao pulled his clothes from the side and wiped the tea stains from the corners of his mouth and body, pointed at Cao Cao's head and said: "Meng De! You claim to be extremely smart, but what I just told you is going in one ear and out the other!" Not to mention that Jizhou is now in danger. When the Goryeo barbarians destroy the leaderless Northern Expeditionary Army, they will inevitably march eastward. The battle in Youzhou is extremely difficult and dangerous. If the army is defeated, it will be doomed! Moreover, the political struggle in the court is so treacherous and complicated. I am now Going to Jizhou is basically asking for death! I'm not a bachelor like Qin Boxi, who fights for a way to survive, and ends up with no bones left, and leaving a lot of infamy behind me!"
Cao Cao looked at Yuan Shao and said: "Benchu! We are determined to bring peace to the world. Now that the world is rising and falling, if we let the Korean barbarians poison China..." Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao fell down and lay on the bed, snoring loudly. Cao Cao saw After taking a long sigh, I felt a mixture of emotions in my heart, including sadness and anger, unwillingness, and a deep sense of powerlessness!
Cao Cao stood by Yuan Shao's bed for a long time and sighed: "Qin Boxi! What a hero!" After speaking, he turned and left.
After Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao stopped snoring. He lay on the bed and opened his eyes. His eyes flickered. He pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
…
In Jizhou Prefecture, Liu Yu's beard and hair were all white. He was crying when he looked at the battle report in his hand. The counselor Qi Zhou on the side saw this and said in confusion: "Ming Gong! The retreat of the Koryo troops is a good thing for us! Why do you So pretentious?"
Liu Yu looked at his confidant and sighed: "I feel sad for Qin Boxi! The pillar of a great man has been destroyed! Now that I have lost my pillar of strength, I am afraid that the great man will fall apart in an instant!"
Qi Zhou was silent for a moment after hearing this and said: "Ming Gong! I think you should not be silent anymore. I heard some bad news in the court. Now the governor of Yanzhou Liu Dai and the governor of Qingzhou Kong Rong have joined forces to impeach General Qin. This matter is in There has been an uproar in the court, and Liu Dai even expressed his intention to unite with Kong Rong to annihilate the Qin clan, Ming Gong! If this is done, it will probably chill the hearts of the entire world!"
Liu Yu held the battle report in his hand, sat down on the chair and closed his eyes with some weakness, saying: "I am so old! The defeat of Youzhou has become the sinner of the Han Dynasty through the ages. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Jizhou, he not only failed to stabilize the situation, but also failed to stabilize the situation. On the contrary, it caused chaos in the prefectures and counties. If Qin Boxi had not risked his life to force the Goryeo troops to retreat at this time, I am afraid that I would really become a sinner of the Liu family!"
Qi Zhou said with a gloomy expression: "Ming Gong! Forgive me! Not to mention General Qin's life-saving grace for you and me. He led his people with the determination to die and turned the tide for the Han Dynasty when everyone gave up hope! Such things I am afraid there has not been a hero since the founding of the Emperor Gaozu! Nowadays, Liu Dai, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, does not take it as his own responsibility to revitalize the ancestral industry, but instead commits such despicable acts. If all the clan members of the Han Dynasty are such villains, the demise of the Han Dynasty is not far away. Please forgive me. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I cannot be admitted as a scholar under Ming Gong. Please take my leave!"
After saying that, Qi Zhou rolled up his sleeves and prepared to leave. There are many righteous people in Yan and Zhao. They adhere to morality in their bones. It is precisely because of this morality that Youzhou has protected the country of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
When Liu Yu saw Qi Zhou being so angry, he quickly stopped Qi Zhou and said, "Sir, what you said is wrong. I am guilty now... That's all! Liu Yu can do whatever you ask me to do!"
When Qi Zhou heard this, he stopped and said, "A man does something and doesn't do something! Even if Ming Gong is alone and weak at this time, he must still fight for his cause. We cannot let the heroes who bleed on the front line feel cold!"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed with determination and he said: "I don't have much time left now. Since I'm not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of anything else! Okay! I'll write a memorial to the Holy One right now!"
