Dong Cheng Manor was decorated with lanterns and streamers. Servants were busy shuttling back and forth, but not many guests came.
According to the Dong Residence, the world was in turmoil and the people were suffering.
Dong Cheng cared about the people, so he reduced his food and clothing expenses and only invited his relatives and friends for the birthday banquet.
However, this extravagance was not inferior to a celebration at all.
"The wine and meat of the vermilion gate stink, and the road has frozen bones.”
Xiangyu murmured, but it gave Qin Song a great shock.
He muttered and repeated, his mind trembling.
This was probably a chaotic world.
Xiang Yu entered the Imperial Brother-in-law's Residence and was warmly received.
The wine cups were intertwined, and the people were noisy.
Dong Cheng gave a look and a servant brought Xiang Yu to a secluded study.
As soon as Xiang Yu sat down, Dong Cheng walked in and lowered his head to cough.
"Greetings, Uncle."
Xiang Yu stood up and bowed. Dong Cheng waved his hand and gestured for him to sit down.
Dong Cheng finally had the time to carefully examine Xiang Yu and was shocked.
As expected, he had an imposing appearance and was full of vigor.
He sighed and said earnestly,"
"A real man should contribute to the country. Now that the country is in trouble, will you contribute?”
"What do you mean, Uncle?" Xiangyu muttered to himself.
If he was so good at painting a big picture, why didn't he become Wu Dalang?
Dong Cheng glanced at Xiang Yu and smiled. Then, he showed a sorrowful expression and said,"
"Greed is in power now, and a great traitor has usurped the country. What is the difference between the behavior of the rulers and that of the rebels?”
Haha.
Dong Cheng had forgotten that his surname was also Dong.
Xiang Yu never cared about these things. When had the Imperial Court ever cared about his life and death?
Now, there was actually someone in front of him who was using so-called righteousness to threaten him. How ridiculous.
Mediocre people are below, capable people are above.
Natural selection makes survival of the fittest.
There was no need for the already corrupt imperial court to continue to fight to the death. Doing so would only cause the innocent people to continue to suffer.
"Uncle makes sense." Xiang Yu echoed.
Dong Cheng had mixed feelings, and a line of hot tears flowed out of his eyes.
His eyes gradually turned cloudy.
"The Han Dynasty has been passed down for 400 years. I have always been ashamed and worried about the country.”
"Cao Cao is a wolf with wild ambitions. It is difficult to feed him for a long time. If he is not full, he will devour people and plot to overthrow the country.”
"Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, has served the Han Dynasty for generations. His grandson Sun Ce inherited his father's ambition and should welcome the emperor.”
Like a bolt of lightning, Xiang Yu looked at Dong Cheng in shock.
This scheming?
He also wanted to fight for power with Cao Cao, it was simply wishful thinking.
"My lord has been loyal to the Han Dynasty for a long time, so why should he be blocked by the land of Huainan?”
"This matter is easy. As long as His Majesty issues an edict, Yuan Gonglu will definitely work together with Sun Bofu.”Dong Cheng said happily.
"Good!" Xiangyu cupped his fists and said.
Dong Cheng eagerly took care of Xiang Yu. When he received the imperial edict, he would contact him again.
Xiang Yu comforted Dong Cheng and successfully left the banquet.
However…
The real crisis had just arrived.
As soon as Xiang Yu left Dong Cheng's residence, he was targeted by someone.
"Join the army. There are people following us.”Zhou Tai said warily.
"Don't worry about it. We can't have any conflicts.”Xiangyu warned.
The next day, Xiang Yu personally went to Sikong Manor to send a visiting card, but he was still rejected.
"With Dong Cheng's leadership, the lord's succession to the Marquis of Wu Cheng will be smooth. Why do you have to pay your respects to Cao Cao when you join the army?" Qin Song asked in puzzlement.
"Haha."
"Cao Cao will definitely rule the world in the future. How can Dong Cheng defeat him?"
Xiang Yu reminded Qin Song.
Suddenly!
News of Xi Zhicai's death spread throughout Xu County, and the entire city was shrouded in gloom.
Cao Cao personally presided over the funeral of Xi Zhicai and suddenly remembered the diplomatic mission in Jiangdong.
When the funeral was over, he ordered someone to send an invitation to Xiang Yu to hunt in Xu Tian.
"Hunting?"
Qin Song's heart shook." Cao Cao has lost his plan. I'm afraid he's temperamental. You must be careful when you join the army."”
"Don't worry." Xiang Yu became more alert.
In Xu County, he didn't have the ability to protect himself. No matter who he offended, he could not offend Cao Cao.
This was the way of survival.
When the appointed time came, Xiang Yu met Cao Cao outside the city as promised.
Cao Cao was dressed in military attire and riding a strong divine steed.
The divine chariot shone brightly, forming a stark contrast with the rider on horseback.
At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were sunken and his expression was dispirited, as if he had aged ten years.
Behind him was a burly man with a sharp gaze.
Xiang Yu guessed that this person might be Dian Wei.
He dismounted from his horse and cupped his fists.”
Cao Cao looked at the handsome man in front of him. He had a good demeanor and finally had a look on his face.
"Xiang Linyuan."
"The crane cries in the nine hills, and its voice is heard in the sky. The fish are on the isles, or hidden in the deep."
"What a good name."
Cao Cao suddenly exclaimed, his eyes looking disdainful, like a lion that had just awakened.
"I heard that you attended Dong Cheng's birthday banquet. Did you get anything?”
Sharp Edge.
Suddenly appeared.
