Chapter 1146 Old Friendship

Smart people often complicate simple things for a year, and Cao Cao is in such a state at this time. In fact, Night Breeze really just didn't want to kill, so it's an old friendship, isn't it?

There is no friendship on the road to hegemony. This sentence does not apply to Ye. Who made him a systematic person?

"By the way, Zhicai! How is the alliance between the princes from all walks of life going?"

Thinking of the task assigned to Xi Zhicai a few days ago, Cao Cao couldn't help asking about the progress. In fact, he also knew that this time was not enough for the journey, but he was just inexplicably anxious.

Since Huang Zhong showed up in Qingzhou with the Sirius Battalion and wiped out Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops, is it anyone's guess what Night Breeze's next move will be?

It must be taking advantage of the situation to take down Qingzhou. This is a piece of meat that Cao Cao has been in for a long time. Now Xiahou Dun and the others are still rolling in Jibei Kingdom. In his eyes, he was anxious, and now he can only hope to form an alliance!

Xi Zhicai also understood what Cao Cao was thinking, and replied, "Return to the lord! I haven't handed over yet, but I have received a new piece of news about Chang'an Dong Zhuo, but I don't know whether it is good or bad!"

"Huh? Dong Zhuo? Let's hear it?"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he became interested.

Cao Cao is naturally very interested in making it difficult for Xi Zhicai to judge the good or bad of things, but he doesn't know what kind of moth Dong Zhuo has made again.

Well!

Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "According to reports from the scouts, 3 days ago, Wang Yun joined forces with Lv Bu in Chang'an to trap and kill Dong Zhuo. , Guo Si formed a confrontation, and the situation was a little chaotic! It's hard for subordinates to judge things and good or bad! As far as I know, Lu Bu has a very unusual relationship with Night Breeze! I'm afraid... "

"Haha! Are you afraid that Lu Bu will take Dong Zhuo's power and turn to Night Breeze?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he directly interrupted Xi Zhicai and asked with a laugh.

Huh?

Xi Zhicai saw that Cao Cao was not worried but happy after hearing his words, and wondered, could there be some secrets in it that I didn't know?

"I do have such concerns, but judging from the expression on the lord's face, it doesn't seem like it will?"

Xi Zhicai generously admitted his thoughts, and at the same time looked at Cao Cao expectantly, hoping that he could clear up the confusion.

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed loudly: "It's normal that you don't know Zhicai at this time! I also guessed it by accident!"

"This is to start with the relationship between Night Breeze and Lu Bu."

In short, even if Lu Bu gained Dong Zhuo's power, he would not be able to submit to Night Breeze. On the contrary, there must be a big battle between them.

"So, this matter is not a bad thing for us. We can send someone to contact Lu Bu to show my intention of forming an alliance with this side. Of course, we must guard against Lu Bu! Lu Bu is not easy. Your generation, you are too wolf-like, it is easy to bite people!"

Cao Cao explained to Xi Zhicao the entanglement between Night Breeze and Lu Bu in detail. He intends to form an alliance with Lu Bu, but he will also guard against Lu Bu.

Compared with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu is more uncontrollable and unstable!

Warriors and resourceful people look at things and handle things in a completely different way.

"Your subordinate understands! Let me send you to Chang'an again! It's just Qingzhou, I don't know what the lord's plan is?"

Xi Zhicai said worriedly.

Judging from the current situation, Qingzhou might fall into Night Breeze's hands, and Cao Cao's opportunity to do so has been lost. Even if he joins the battle for Qingzhou now, he might easily get into trouble with Night Breeze, but this is not true. It is in line with Cao Cao's plan.

Now to fight Night Breeze, Cao Cao has no information to win!

Not everyone is like Ye Feng, who never has to worry about food, gold and silver. Although Boss Cao has expanded his army many times, money and food have always been the biggest obstacle restricting his development. In this regard, he is worse than Yuan Shao. He Cao Although the family is not bad, compared with the Yuan family, it is not at the same level.

The background is too far away!

"Da da da!"

"Qingzhou?"

When Cao Cao saw Xi Zhicai asked, he tapped his fingers on the desk and fell into deep thought.

This matter is what troubles him the most now. Night Breeze's aggressiveness is too strong now. Taking down Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's power in Jizhou, Night Breeze's power will not decrease but increase, and the same is true for his troops.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao had to curse Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's rubbish, they were completely useless? After a few battles with Night Breeze, Night Breeze's losses haven't exceeded 20,000, right?

What kind of battle is this fighting?

With Night Breeze's strength not weakened, Cao Cao could not act rashly and start a war with Night Breeze rashly.

If we don't start a war with Night Breeze now, Night Breeze will probably deal with Youzhou and Qingzhou first, and leave Cao Cao with a chance to breathe, so Cao Cao can only temporarily give up Qingzhou.

"Da da!"

After two more taps, Cao Cao looked serious, and said to Xi Zhicai: "Let's do this! Qingzhou will give up for the time being, and let Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others take down Jibei Kingdom and Taishan County with all their strength. After that, we might as well turn our attention to Xuzhou! There But a land of wealth."

"You have to admit! Tao Qian is too far-sighted and practical, but he is still very good as the governor of the state! Xuzhou! We have the food we need most. I would rather not have Qingzhou, but I must also take Xuzhou , Only by winning Xuzhou can we develop rapidly and lay the foundation to compete with Night Breeze!"

Cao Cao saw this very clearly. In the past 38 years, people, horses, money, food, and talents are the foundation of power, and nothing else is so important.

The territory is gone, you can fight it later, as long as you have soldiers, money, food, and talents!

"Hehe! Goodbye, my lord!"

Xi Zhicai smiled and praised.

Cao Cao's words are indeed very correct.

"Okay! Zhicai, go get busy first! I'll go to the barracks to have a look!"

Cao Cao waved his hand to let Xi Zhicai go to other things. He wanted to go to the barracks to see his current military strength. Now his situation is not good, so he can only worry a lot.

Well!

Xi Zhicai didn't wait too long and took orders to leave.

"Haha! This fellow Fengxian is quite fast!"

At this time, on the side of Baishan City, Night Breeze was free and knew about Lu Bu's new family, Dong Zhuo. He found Lu Lingqi who was practicing martial arts in his inner courtyard in a blink of an eye, and told her the good news.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lingqi's reaction to this was mediocre, a word "oh" meant nothing, but she wanted to continue to ask Xiao Longnu about the Jade Girl's sword technique.

"You don't seem to be responding?"

Night Breeze looked at Lu Lingqi strangely, wondering what Lu Lingqi was thinking.
