In the evening.
The banquet gradually came to an end.
On the main seat.
Cao Cao looked at the people who were either unrestrained or sleeping on the long table.
He smiled helplessly.
It was only because he, Cao Cao, was not a person who followed the rules that he could tolerate these people causing trouble.
If his old father Cao Song was here, he would definitely scold him.
He taught him that as a ruler, he should learn to set rules from the beginning.
"Zilian, Zixiao, arrange for the servants to help them get some rest!”
"Remember!"
"We can't neglect everyone present…"
Cao Cao said halfway.
Sensing that no one responded for a long time, he tilted his head to look.
Cao Ren and Cao Hong were nowhere to be seen.
Not far away.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Xiu, Li Dian, and the other generals were lying in front of their long tables, drunk and unconscious.
Cao Cao shook his head lightly and could only do it himself.
Fortunately…
Gongsun Mu, Xi Zhicai, and Yu Jin were still conscious and not drunk.
Under the command of the three of them.
Soon, he ordered the servants to send the generals to the residences that Cao Cao had arranged for them.
As for Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu.
Halfway through the banquet, he had already left.
He couldn't be counted on.
After helping Cao Cao deal with everything.
When Gongsun Mu, Xi Zhicai, and Yu Jin saw Cao Cao's tipsy state, they also asked to resign.
Cao Cao called out to the three who were about to leave.
"Jinglue, Zhicai, Wenze!"
"My good friend, Yuan Shao, has initiated the alliance meeting, but it will take more than a month for the various vassals to respond!”
"During this period of time…"
"Cao Hui will continue to recruit soldiers and horses to accumulate the power to oppose Dong!”
"The three of you are all people with great ability. In terms of military affairs and training, the more capable you are, the harder it will be for you!”
After saying that.
Cao Cao's expression turned serious as he bowed towards the three of them.
The kind that bent 90 degrees.
" I hope you can help me!!!"
Looking at Cao Cao, who was sincerely bowing to them…
Gongsun Mu and Xi Zhicai had yet to express anything.
Yu Jin was already as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his face was filled with the feeling of a scholar dying for a confidant.
"Greetings, Lord!"
"It is Yu Jin's duty to serve the Lord!”
He no longer called Cao Cao by the name of Cao Gong or General Cao…
Yu Jin paid his respects to Cao Cao and addressed him as Lord on the night he surrendered to Cao Cao.
Gongsun Mu was speechless.
Little Brother Wen Ze, if I don't do what you're doing, it'll seem like I don't have good eyesight!
Gongsun Mu glanced at Yu Jin faintly. He was disgusted by Yu Jin's "flattery".
However…
In the next moment.
"I, Gongsun Mu, greet my lord!!!”
Xi Zhicai was speechless.
Xi Zhicai was dumbfounded.
A moment ago.
He could clearly see that Gongsun Mu was disgusted by Yu Jin's 'flattering' behavior.
But in the next second.
Gong Sun Mu's flashy operation and the speed at which he changed it had really broadened his horizons.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
Not long ago, it was this kind of shameless person who suppressed him everywhere and planned ahead?!!!
Thinking of this…
Xi Zhicai sighed in his heart.
It was not that he was shameless and did not uphold the integrity of a scholar.
Instead…
"Xi Zhicai greets the lord!”
The three of them bowed one after another, causing Cao Cao to be overjoyed.
Compared to the so-called Duke Cao and General Cao, he preferred the word "Lord" from the three of them.
Because…
Not only did this determine the status between him and the three of them, but it also represented their recognition of Cao Cao.
How could Cao Cao not be happy?!
"Good, good, good!"
"You guys are really like fish in water!!!”
……
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
They left County Governor Manor.
After Gongsun Mu parted ways with Yu Jin and Xi Zhicai, he walked alone to a courtyard not far away from County Governor Manor.
Cao Cao didn't arrange for everyone to stay in one courtyard.
Instead, they were placed on the north and south sides of the same street as County Governor Manor according to their relationship.
The Xiahou brothers.
Yu Jin, Li Dian and Yue Jin each had a seat.
The four of them had a courtyard.
As for Cao Cao himself.
Similarly, there was a manor on this street that was not much inferior to the County Governor's Manor.
After all.
County Governor Manor was only temporarily lent to Cao Cao by his good friend Zhang Miao to act as a front for today's gathering.
No matter how good Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were in Guanxi.
He couldn't always keep it and use it for personal use.
What was worth mentioning was…
Priest Gong Sun and his brothers were staying in the courtyard to the left of Cao Cao's mansion.
There was only a wall between them.
If Cao Cao needed them.
The four of them only needed to walk a few steps to enter Cao Cao's mansion.
He walked to the courtyard that Cao Cao had arranged for him.
Gong Sun Mu glanced at the two words " Cao Mansion " hanging on the door of the mansion beside him. He was extremely satisfied with Cao Cao's arrangements.
Just as Gong Sun Mu was about to enter the courtyard to rest…
A voice came from behind him.
"General Gongsun, please wait!"
Gongsun Mu turned around and saw Xi Zhicai standing behind him.
