"I didn't expect it. Everything was your conspiracy."
Cao Cao's face was filled with sorrow and emotion.
This conspiracy is certainly hateful, but when things have developed to this point, it is difficult to save one's own life, and it is difficult to feel hatred.
And compared to his hatred for Liu Zhang, Cao Cao was more surprised and puzzled.
The calculation was too precise.
It seems that how and when each step is taken, how far it will go, and how it will end are all within Liu Zhang's expectations.
It made Cao Cao feel like he was a chess piece.
It seems that he is in charge, but in fact he is always controlled by Liu Zhang.
"Liu Zhang, I often learn from it painfully when I think back on this life."
"Finally discovered the source of the biggest mistake in my life."
"oh?"
Liu Zhang looked at it and was very interested.
"Brother Meng De is talking about the Southern Expedition?"
"No."
Cao Cao shook his head in denial.
"It's about proclaiming the public and establishing the country."
"This step was taken too fast and too suddenly."
"At that time, Yuan Shao was destroyed and Gu's power reached its peak. Many people suspected that Gu would usurp the Han and establish himself!"
"Whether I have this intention or not, the proclaiming of the Duke and the founding of the country is a disguised recognition."
Cao Cao sighed softly and turned to look at Xun Yu, his eyes no longer filled with the hatred he had just cursed.
"Wen Ruo, if you haven't taken that step alone..."
Xun Yu nodded slightly.
"If you had not been so stubborn and rejected Liu Zhang's suggestion to make you a duke, then I would definitely be loyal to you!"
"At the same time, everyone in the world will know clearly that you, Cao Cao, are a loyal minister, not a traitor or traitor."
"One wrong step, every step is wrong! Cao Cao, Cao Cao, this is the price for being quick!"
Cao Cao looked heavy and even more speechless.
With just one thought, he was about to die and his country was destroyed!
If they reject the conspiracy of proclaiming themselves public and will not rush to launch a southern expedition, then the power of the Cao family will be unprecedentedly strong!
When you are so strong that you are proud of everyone, then the south will surrender!
In that case, what can Liu Zhang do no matter how strong he is?
If this is the case, today's situation must be reversed.
It is a pity that Cao Cao himself missed the result of Liu Zhang being imprisoned.
"Why..."
Cao Cao sighed again, full of regret for himself.
"Liu Zhang, not only did I fall into your plot, but I also distracted the world from your ambition to establish the country."
"Qin, King of Qin! It's really ridiculous to think about it now!"
"Hehehe, Brother Mengde is too praised!"
Liu Zhang agreed very frankly.
"Although Gu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he disobeyed the emperor and proclaimed himself duke, so naturally he also acted arbitrarily."
"However, since Brother Meng De, a person of the opposite sex, has taken the first step to overstep his bounds, the people of the world will have no feeling for Gu's overstepping."
"Even people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty think that Gu is the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty!"
"All the great changes started from that time!"
This change is like the butterfly effect.
You may not feel anything at first, but as time goes by, more and more things will gradually appear.
How can a butterfly flutter its wings and cause a tornado?
But that's the truth.
After continuous evolution, what was originally an inconspicuous thing has gradually become a force that cannot be ignored.
Eventually, it becomes uncontrollable and unstoppable.
It was even close to destruction for Cao Cao.
"Failed...Failed..."
Cao Cao changed from sitting on his knees to sitting casually on the ground, and his whole person became more casual.
"It seems that the Han Dynasty should not be eliminated, and it is the way of heaven to revive it again!"
"Although I am virtuous and rich in strategy, I cannot resist God's will after all!"
"Liu Zhang, you win..."
Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Liu Zhang felt a little confused.
This is a sign of sincerely letting go of everything and no longer fighting.
No matter how Cao Cao is dealt with, Cao Cao will never fight again.
I am truly convinced.
"Brother Meng De, you are an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs and a pillar of the country! It is no exaggeration to say that you are a genius that is rare to see in a century!"
"It's a pity that when a person's power is exhausted, everything will be determined by God's will. There are many things that God's will cannot be violated."
Cao Cao chuckled, a little strange.
"You said it's a once-in-a-millennium encounter? Then you, Liu Zhang, are a once-in-a-thousand-year encounter?"
Liu Zhang chuckled and shook his head.
"Brother Meng De, you are a capable person, but Gu is just an ordinary person. In other words, an ordinary person who is forced."
"There are many things that I can't explain to you, but I want to tell you that you didn't lose to me."
"If we were put on the same starting line, you would definitely be the winner!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with horror, and he was very shocked by this comment.
If Liu Zhang's praise before was meant to flatter him, what is it for now?
Cao Cao couldn't understand.
Even if he were torn into pieces, who would do anything for Cao Cao?
Regarding Liu Zhang, I had deeper doubts in my heart.
It's like a fog that can't be seen through.
"No matter what your purpose is, it doesn't matter if you are alone, I will accept your compliments shamelessly."
"By the way, what is the starting line? What kind of line is this?"
"Forehead..."
This time it was Liu Zhang's turn to be stunned.
He waved casually and quickly changed the subject.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have prepared fine wine. Brother Meng De is very greedy, isn't he? You can drink as much as you want today!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, this was the only thing he was interested in.
But before he could thank him, Liu Zhang's next words made him freeze in place.
"Even if I'm alone... I'm going to see Brother Meng De off."
Although I had already anticipated this outcome, I still couldn't accept the verdict when I heard it from Liu Zhang's mouth.
In the conversation just now, Cao Cao very implicitly expressed that he is now focused on nothing.
Naturally, there is only one purpose, life.
To put it simply, stay alive.
But now it seems that it is indeed a luxury.
