sunrise sun rises slowly
Outside Dongjun City
Xi Zhicai led the troops and waited for Cao Cao's return.
Finally, Cao Cao's army slowly appeared, getting closer and closer to East County City.
at the same time
Tong Fei was also riding a warhorse, accompanying Cao Cao with Zhao Yun.
"Changping, Zilong, East County City is not far ahead. We're home.”
Cao Cao said with a smile.
"Yes, congratulations, my lord, on your victorious return.”
Tong Fei cupped his fists and said.
"Hahaha, Changping, you're too polite.”
"I, Cao Mengde, have been able to achieve such results in this alliance meeting. You should be the first to do so!”
Cao Cao praised generously.
Tong Fei rolled his eyes silently.
Stop, stop, don't give me credit. I'm just a salted fish who's doing nothing.
Moreover, the real trouble had just begun.
Hearing Tong Fei's thoughts, a trace of doubt appeared in the corner of Cao Cao's eyes.
Although he didn't quite understand the previous sentence, he was already used to it.
And the trouble…had just begun. What did that mean?
However, looking at Tong Fei's disinterested expression, Cao Cao knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him if he asked now.
Moreover, Xi Zhicai and the others had waited long enough. It was better to enter the city and settle down first.
The army slowly approached East County City.
Seeing that Cao Cao had returned safely, Xi Zhicai's heart finally relaxed.
"My lord!"
Xi Zhicai shouted. Under the sunlight, he rode his horse straight towards Cao Cao.
"Zhicai!"
Cao Cao shouted as well, riding his Vanishing Shadow Horse.
Tsk tsk, these two…
Tong Fei shook his head silently.
It was really a pity that he was talented in acting.
It was not unreasonable for the heavens to be jealous of talents.
Xi Zhicai's contribution to Boss Cao's hegemony could be said to be indispensable.
Unfortunately, he died in the second year of Jian 'an (196 AD).
Not long after Xi Zhicai's death, Guo Jia officially defected to Boss Cao and became the military advisor.
Coincidentally, not long after Guo Jia's death, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and Zhuge Liang left the mountain.
Therefore, there was a saying in later generations:
If the ambition is not dead, the ghost will not appear.
If you don't die, you won't come out of the sleeping dragon.
It was about the story of these three people.
Under the illumination of the rising sun, Tong Fei carefully sized up Xi Zhicai.
She found that his face was indeed filled with unhealthy pale skin.
That kind of whiteness was either weak or sick.
Seeing that Xi Zhicai was pitifully thin, Tong Fei was more or less certain that he was not weak, but was plagued by an illness.
Sigh, poor Xi Zhicai, a sick person, had to deal with so many government affairs every day. No wonder he was exhausted!
"What?!"
Tong Fei's thoughts naturally reached Cao Cao's ears.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and the shock in his heart could not be any greater.
He naturally knew that Xi Zhicai was sick.
He had also advised Xi Zhicai to rest more, but it was obvious that for the sake of his lifelong dream and for the lord's hegemony, Xi Zhicai did not do so.
Regarding this, Cao Cao was also very worried. Xi Zhicai's body was weak, and he wasn't as strong as Tong Fei (the kind that was very strong in all aspects).
If one day, the actor's workload was too heavy and he died, Cao Cao would have nowhere to cry!
However, Tong Fei had only met Xi Zhicai once, and he could already tell that he had been ill for a long time and that he was under too much pressure from work.
As expected, Planner Destiny was awesome!
Seeing that Cao Cao had suddenly become absent-minded, Xi Zhicai was stunned.
Fortunately, Boss Cao reacted quickly. He realized that he was distracted and quickly reacted.
He grabbed Xi Zhicai's hand and said,"
"Zhicai, since I'm back, you don't have to deal with any administrative issues for this period of time. Just focus on recuperating and leave it to me.”
"My lord…"
When Xi Zhicai heard this, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart, but he immediately shook his head and said,
"My lord, if I want to rest, I don't want to rest now.”
"You know, this is a critical moment.”
How could Cao Cao not know what 'critical moment' meant?
Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, and the others returned to Yanzhou before him.
The combined strength of these three dukes was above his, and they had already begun to recruit and train soldiers.
If Cao Cao didn't hurry up, all of Xi Zhicai's hard work would be wasted.
"Zhicai, you don't have to worry too much.”
"Previously, you were the only one who worked day and night. Now that I have Changping's assistance, my situation is naturally much better than before.”
Speaking of Tong Fei, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile proudly.
Why would such an awesome strategist join Cao Cao instead of the more powerful Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and the others?
This was the effect of Cao Mengde's charisma!
Look, not only did Tong Fei come to seek refuge, he even brought the unparalleled Zhao Yun along.
Didn't this mean that his charisma was far better than Yuan Datou and the others?
Ahem, Boss Cao's charisma was indeed very strong.
However, it was obvious that he was thinking too much.
Tong Fei came to seek refuge with him because he wanted to be a simple and boring salted fish.
As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree.
In Tong Fei's eyes, Boss Cao was the biggest towering tree among the princes at the end of Han Dynasty.
It was just that this tree was still in the growing stage…
