"Haha, Zhongkang, please get up quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing you two brothers!”
Cao Cao was overjoyed. It was exactly as he had guessed. Although Xu Chu was fierce, he listened to Xu Chuan.
After he stood up, Cao Cao pulled one person in each hand and ran towards his tent under the jealous gazes of the other dukes.
The dukes could only smack their lips in disappointment.
Cao Cao only has a few thousand soldiers, yet he wants to defect to him. He wasted a lot of my wine.
"You're welcome. We're on the same side from now on.”
After ordering his subordinates to prepare food and wine, Cao Cao made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Chu naturally did not stand on ceremony. He grabbed a cooked chicken and started tearing it apart.
He had been waiting outside the alliance army with Xu Chuan for the past few days. He had been eating dry rations and was starving.
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
Xu Chuan looked at Xu Chu who was wolfing down the food and could only helplessly digest it himself.
"Yunxiao, there's no need to be so polite."
Cao Cao waved his hand and frowned. He asked expectantly,""I want to know, Cloudsky's remaining two gifts are?”
"Please wait a moment, my lord. The second gift is in the alliance army, but the time has not come yet.”
"When the time is right, I will give it to my lord. I guarantee that my lord will be more surprised than the first gift.”
It was not that Xu Chuan liked to show off, but some things had not been confirmed yet, so he did not dare to make a specific judgment.
Cao Cao smiled and nodded.
It was still the same as a few days ago. Perhaps this was the style of an expert.
This was also good. Since Cloudsky also said that it would be more surprising than the first gift, then he would wait patiently. Good dishes were not afraid of being late.
"Then, now that the commander-in-chief of Mushui Pass, Hua Xiong, is dead, in Yunxiao's opinion, should we take advantage of this victory to pursue and take down Mushui Pass in one go?”
After a while, Cao Cao picked up his wine cup and pretended to be chatting.
Xu Chuan looked up at Cao Cao.
Old Cao is testing me.
Although the first gift was not bad, he only saw Xu Chu's bravery.
However, he did not understand himself well enough.
Since he had the heart to become the future chief strategist of the Cao Clan, it was naturally time to show off.
"To the alliance army, this is naturally a godsend opportunity.”
"But for my lord, we can only continue to wait.”
Xu Chuan swirled the wine glass in his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
The quality of the alcohol in this era was really bad. Not only was it turbid, but the alcohol content was also the same as the beer in the future. No wonder so many glasses were not drunk.
"Oh?"
Cao Cao looked straight at Xu Chuan." What do you mean by Yunxiao?”
"How many people does the alliance army have? There were no less than 300,000 soldiers, more than half of Dong Zhuo's army.”
"In addition, it's an imperial edict to punish the rebels. If he really wanted to eliminate the thieves for the country, he would have fought in long ago.”
"But they are not moving at all in the wild jujube.”
"Because they are all scheming for their own gains. They want to advance and fear defeat.”
"They are all waiting for someone to make a move first, then they will follow behind and pick up the loot.”
"Eighteen dukes…"
Xu Chuan sneered and shook his head."It's just a motley crew.”
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and his breathing quickened.
He was only seventeen years old, but he actually had such knowledge. He was really not simple.
Even the 18 dukes were a motley crew in his eyes. His horizons were truly not small.
"What Yunxiao said is indeed true."
Cao Cao sighed," I'm afraid that if this continues, not only will we not be able to defeat the bandits, but we will also be defeated by them.”
"Our alliance chief Yuan…"
This was a situation that Cao Cao did not want to see.
After all, although his goal was different from the other dukes 'simple plundering, he was not the only one.
However, if the dukes were defeated, his goal would naturally be announced as a failure.
"My lord, you can rest assured. As I expected, even if Yuan Shao doesn't want to join forces to attack Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will force him to attack.”
"Therefore, the great war should be coming soon.”
Xu Chuan said as he tore off a chicken drumstick and started chewing.
This casual sentence was enough to make Cao Cao's heart skip a beat.
Predict the enemy?
That was no ordinary great talent!
"Yunxiao, quickly tell me!"
Cao Cao straightened his back, gulping as he stared at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan's body trembled when he saw Cao Cao's comrade like gaze. He hurriedly said,"
"Once Hua Xiong dies, the Western Liang soldiers at Lishui Pass will definitely be terrified and lose morale.”
"In addition, many officials in the Imperial Court have long had the intention of rebelling against Dong Zhuo. If this is not handled properly, it is very likely that Dong Zhuo will fall into a pincer attack from both inside and outside.”
"I reckon that Dong Zhuo will definitely target Yuan Huai in order to avoid such a terrible situation.”
hiss ~
His casual words caused Cao Cao to suck in a breath of cold air, and his pupils constricted.
Yuan Huai was an important official of the court, and using him as an example would definitely deter the anti-Dong forces in the court.
The worst thing was that Yuan Huai was the uncle of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
When the time came, he would throw his head to the alliance army camp, which would definitely be a huge blow to Second Yuan.
After all, they had always held the banner of the four generations and three dukes.
If they didn't do anything now, the morale of the alliance army would collapse.
This had to be said to be a ruthless move!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao looked at Xu Chuan as if he was looking at a monster.
Just by looking at Hwa Xiong's death, he could calculate the direction of the overall situation.
How was this just a talent?
He was simply a genius in the world!
"Mister is really quick-witted and knows the autumn with a single leaf!”
"Please accept my bow!"
Cao Cao stood up excitedly and bowed to Xu Chuan.
Even the way he addressed him had changed from Cloudsky to Mister.
This action stunned Xu Chu, who was eating happily.
Amazing, my little brother. What are you talking about? Why are you giving me a big bow?
"My lord, don't be agitated."
Xu Chuan naturally stood up as well and hurriedly supported Cao Cao. He then looked straight at Cao Cao and shook his head,
"Even so, my lord's goal will still not be achieved.”
This sentence shocked Cao Cao once again.
Could it be that he has even guessed my ultimate goal?
That would be too monstrous!
Cao Cao remained calm and asked,"
"Oh? Teacher said that my goal could not be achieved.”
"Do you know the purpose of my trip?”
From the calculations of Dong Zhuo's actions, Cao Cao did not doubt Xu Chuan's ability to see through the situation.
However, she still had some doubts about whether Xu Chuan really knew her purpose.
After all, his goal could be said to be far from the current dukes.
