Xiang Qian followed Cao Cao to Chenliu County.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had passed a few years ago, it had not completely subsided. Yellow Turban thieves and mountain bandits were still wreaking havoc everywhere in the country.
Along the way, Xiang Qian saw many bones scattered on the roadside. No one had buried them. He saw many refugees with hungry faces. There were people who starved to death, and there were also people who sold their children.
Xiang Qian realized that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation of this country was a little like Africa in the original time and space. It was a mess, and the common people were crying for food. They especially longed for one person to quickly end the chaos and let the world return to peace and prosperity!
Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the one with the greatest ability and the greatest possibility of sweeping away the chaos was Cao Cao!
Xiang Qian wondered if he should dispel his prejudice against Cao Cao and wholeheartedly help him sweep away the troubled times. After the world was unified, he should learn from Sima Yi.
This thought lingered in his mind for a while. When Xiang Qian saw the scene in front of him, he could not help but sigh.
"The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles.
One out of a hundred people is missing, and it is heartbreaking to think of it.”
He recited the poem written by Cao Cao.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's eyes lit up."Wen Jin, you actually know how to compose poems. Although it's a little exaggerated, it fits the current situation!
He didn't expect Wen Jin to be so talented. He could really be said to be both civil and martial!”
Xiang Qian was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this poem written by Cao Cao himself? Why would he think that it was written by me?
He thought for a moment and immediately understood.
This poem was not written by Cao Cao now, but a few years later.
Because this poem has a distinct time,"The army is not united, hesitating but flying geese." Snobbery makes people fight for it, and Li Si kills himself when he returns. The title of Huainan's younger brother was engraved with a seal in the north.”It was written after Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which should be after 196 AD, seven years from now!
Xiang Qian smiled bitterly and said," Lord Ming, this poem is not an exaggeration. Even if Dong Zhuo is cruel and merciless, and will certainly seek his own death, the Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers will also fight among themselves. The warlords will be everywhere, and they will attack each other. The people will be in dire straits. This chaotic world will last for at least many years…"
Cao Cao was a very far-sighted person. Hearing Xiang Qian's words, he could not help but fall silent!
What Xiang Qian said was right. Even if Dong Zhuo died, the chaotic world might not be able to calm down. The Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were ambitious and would definitely make this situation even more chaotic.
He took a deep look at Xiang Qian. Xiang Qian was a person who knew how to write poems and had far-sighted plans. In addition, his martial strength was so high that he was not someone who could be used by others. Would he be willing to be used by him?
Through analyzing Cao Cao's micro-expressions, Xiang Qian suddenly realized that his recitation and analysis of the situation had already aroused Cao Cao's fear!
This was the most unpleasant thing about following Cao Cao!
Because he was not Cao Cao's son, nor was he a weak strategist like Guo Jia who had to rely on him. He was skilled in both martial arts and had his own troops. How could Cao Cao not be afraid of him?
It seemed that he would have to continue to be as rude and reckless as Gan Ning and Zhang Fei. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay in Cao Cao's place for long!
After he arrived in Chenliu County, Xiang Qian drank all day long, causing trouble every day, finding trouble to beat people up every day, and even had conflicts with Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan!
He looked like a rude, reckless, and foolhardy person!
However, when it came to employing people, Cao Cao still valued Xiang Qian very much. No matter how the generals of the Cao and Xiahou Clans complained about Xiang Qian, Cao Cao would always protect him.
Cao Cao's protection made Xiang Qian feel that he could not always follow Cao Cao!
Before Liu Bang turned against Han Xin, he had agreed to all of Han Xin's requests. After Liu Bang had pacified the world, he felt that Han Xin was useless, so he instructed Empress Lu and Xiao He to get rid of Han Xin!
However, Xiang Qian felt that before he pacified the world, at least before powerful enemies like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao fell, he did not have to worry about Cao Cao making a move on him.
However, Cao Cao was not easy to fool.
With Xiang Qian's actions, Cao Cao was even more afraid of Xiang Qian. This was because Cao Cao felt that Xiang Qian was deliberately pretending and was very shrewd!
Xiang Qian also realized that Cao Cao was afraid of him!
He was afraid that if he continued to stay in Cao Cao's place, he would not have a good ending!
However, Xiang Qian had nowhere else to go, so he could only stay with Cao Cao for the time being.
Xiang Qian was puzzled. Why didn't Lu Buwei's special attribute work?
The System said," Master, you must give Cao Cao a hat. Only then will Lu Buwei's special attribute be effective. Only then will Cao Cao have complete trust in Master!"”
Xiang Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry!
However, it was very difficult to give Cao Cao a hat.
After all, Cao Cao also liked to play with other people's wives before this, so he was the most wary of his wife being played by other men, so he strictly prohibited any man from entering his backyard!
Xiang Qian spent most of his time in the military camp and did not have the chance to see Bian Yuer!
How should Xiang Qian get close to Bian Yuer?
He could only wait for an opportunity!
