Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao sat on the main seat, with Xiahou Yu beside him.
The civil and military officials sat on the left and right sides.
At this moment, the tent was bustling with activity. A group of generals were drinking.
Xu Zhu claimed that Qiao County drank like a pig, but Xiahou Yuan was not convinced. He went up to compete and was soon defeated.
Seeing that his opponent was about to lose, Xu Zhu laughed out loud and said,""It seems that no one in the entire camp is my match!”：
When Dian Wei saw this, he shouted,"Don't be so arrogant, Zhongkang. I'll fight you!"“
Seeing Dian Wei step forward, Xu Zhu chuckled and said,""I may not be able to defeat you and Zilong in a fight, but I've never lost in drinking!”
Hearing this, Dian Wei grabbed a jar of wine and poured it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, the jar of wine was emptied.
When the generals saw this, they cheered loudly.
Xu Zhu knew that a strong opponent had arrived, so he grabbed a jar of wine and began to gulp down as well.
Just like that,"Hu Chi" and "Er 'Lai" began to compete in drinking.
Cao Cao was watching the battle with great interest. How could he not be happy that Xu Zhu, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun had integrated into the army so quickly and become friends with the Xiahou brothers?
At this moment, he lowered his head and saw Xiahou Yu looking into the distance absent-mindedly. He could not help but ask,""Advisor Jun, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"
Xiahou Yu sighed slightly and said," My lord, you are indeed wise. I am sighing for the people of the world!"”
Hearing this, Cao Cao laughed." Advisor, you worry too much. Today's battle is of great significance. Cao Cao believes that Dong is not far from destruction!”
Xiahou Yu shook his head when he saw Cao Cao's optimism. He knew very well that Dong Zhuo would give up Luoyang and flee to Chang 'an in three days, and then burn it down.
He looked at Cao Cao and changed the topic,""My lord, how do you see the situation in the world?”
Hearing Xiahou Yu's question, Cao Cao was stunned. Although he had been Xiahou Yu's advisor for more than half a month, the two of them had yet to have a deep conversation.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said," The Great Han Dynasty has nurtured soldiers for 400 years. The hearts of the people are still there. Although the Imperial Court is in danger now, I think there is still a chance to save it!”
Xiahou Yu smiled faintly and said,"My lord, I don't think so!"”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he said," You can tell me how you see the general trend of the world!”
Xiahou Yu said," My lord is right. The Great Han Dynasty has nurtured its soldiers for 400 years. Everyone in the world says this, but how many people would do so?
Was he counting on Lu Zhi, who was a warrior in his twilight years and was idle at home?
Or was he counting on the headstrong Situ Wangyun?”
I can see this world clearly.
The burly man was like a bankrupt ship that was leaking everywhere and could sink at any time.
Moreover, I observed the weather at night and found that the Ziwei Star was extremely dark. The burly man's fate was over!“
Cao Cao panicked and asked,""What is it? The military counselor said that the Great Han's fate was over? How could this be? How could that be?"
One had to mention that a person's ambition was often proportional to their status.
At this moment, Cao Cao's territory wasn't big, he didn't have many troops, and his official position was even more ordinary. He didn't have any ambitions at all, and he had some feelings for the Great Han Dynasty.
Xiahou Yu waved his hand and said,"My lord, since we've talked about this today, I, Xiahou Yu, will make things clear."”
Cao Cao was stunned, not knowing what Xiahou Yu wanted to say. He replied,""If you have something to say, just say it!"
Xiahou Yu's expression was serious as he said," I, Xiahou Yu, have never thought of reviving the Han Dynasty. The reason why I agreed to be your military advisor is because I have never thought of reviving the Han Dynasty."
There was only one thing on his mind, and that was to end this chaotic world as soon as possible so that the lives of the people would be stable and they would not have to live in exile anymore.“
After saying that, he looked at Cao Cao and their eyes met.
These words were from the bottom of Xiahou Yu's heart. As someone who was familiar with history, he naturally knew the historical tragedy caused by the disputes of the Three Kingdoms.
If one were to count from the time Cao Pi ascended the throne, the Three Kingdoms period was only a short 60 years.
However, the losses caused to China in these 60 years were simply immeasurable.
Indeed, the Three Kingdoms was an era of heroes.
However, this was an era where commoners were like weeds.
According to the statistics of later generations, the total population of the country at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was about 79 million. In these short decades, how much did the population of the three countries decrease?？
According to the research of experts, when the Jin Dynasty was established, the population of the country was only 20 million.
In 60 years, there were about 59 million casualties. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
It was also because of these few decades of consumption that the population of China was insufficient, preparing the conditions for the five countries to invade China in the future.
Decades later, the Hu took advantage of the situation and invaded. The Jin Dynasty did not have enough troops to resist. In the end, the Han in the north were almost completely massacred. Their clothes and clothes were sent south, causing the greatest tragedy in the history of China.
Since the day he decided to leave the mountain and hug Cao Cao's thigh, Xiahou Yu had decided that he would never let the tragedy repeat itself.
There were only two ways to prevent the tragedy from happening again. The first was to end the internal conflict between the three countries as soon as possible, and the second was to eliminate all the foreign races around China in his lifetime.
Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yu, whose eyes were extremely clear, and his heart surged."The will of the military counselor is the will of Cao Cao. I, Cao Mengde, swear once again that I will do my best to sweep the world in my lifetime and return the world to peace and the people to live a peaceful life!”
Xiahou Yu heard Cao Cao's heartfelt words and immediately bowed,"For the sake of my lord's wish, Xiahou Yu will definitely sacrifice his entire life!”
