"No. If the lord and Cao Cao join forces, although there is no [-]% certainty of defeating Yuan Benchu, at least [-]% to [-]% are possible. But have you ever thought about it, if Yuan Benchu ​​is defeated? Then the lord and Cao Cao, in order to compete for Ji, There is bound to be a big battle in the Qing and You states. Cao Cao is an unfathomable man, good at intrigue, and decisive in his actions. He is a peerless hero. He has as many counselors and generals as a cow. If the lord fights with him, both sides will suffer. During the battle between the lord and Cao Cao, other princes are accumulating power, watching the fire from the other side, waiting for the fisherman's profit. Finally, find the right time to eliminate the two big confidantes, the lord and Cao Cao!

And as long as Yuan Benchu ​​still exists for a day, the eyes of all the princes will be attracted by him and be afraid of him.In this way, the lord can take advantage of this to accumulate power and compete for the world in the future.If my guess is right, Cao Cao must have the same thoughts. "

After Wen Han heard this, his breathing became a little short and heavy, and he was silent for a while. During this period of time, many images flew through Wen Han's mind.

"Sooner or later, I will fight Meng De. However, if some treacherous villains benefit from it, it is definitely not my intention. If this is the case, Zhicai, how should I deal with Yuan Benchu?"

"Although Yuan Benchu ​​came from the Runan Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third lord, he is sought after by scholars all over the world. His subordinates are also full of talents, and he may become the overlord of the north in the future. However, he has a fatal flaw. That is arrogance. In his eyes, the princes of the world are all ants, and only he, Yuan Benchu, is the real hero. He despises the heroes of the world, and one day he will definitely suffer from it.

And compared to the lord, I think he is more interested in destroying Cao Cao first.However, just in case, the lord needs to make preparations, strengthen defenses and increase the guard of soldiers and horses in the area near Jizhou. "

Xi Long didn't explain why Yuan Shao was more willing to deal with Cao Cao first.However, Wen Han knew in his heart that there was no other reason, and Yuan Benchu ​​simply looked down on Wen Bufan.On the contrary, he has always been afraid of Cao Cao.

"The trend of the world will become more and more tense in the next few years. Zhicai, after taking Bingzhou, what should I do next?"

Xi Long listened to Wen Han's sudden question, and nodded secretly. If Wen Han wanted to compete for the world, he should not just focus too much on the immediate things, but focus on the long-term and long-term.

"My lord is concerned with the overall situation. This is what a hero should be. Right now, my lord should put aside my hatred for Lu Bu. Moreover, Lu Bu is a treacherous man who has been cast aside by everyone in the world. My lord, why don't you have a chance to kill this man with your own hands?"

Xi Long paused, his brainwaves turned rapidly, and the big picture of the world seemed to appear in Xi Long's mind, and Xi Long changed the topic again and again.

"The war situation in the north is almost stable now. As expected, Yuan Benchu ​​will become the biggest hero in the north. After Cao Mengde won Yanzhou, if he wanted to expand his power, he would definitely choose Yuzhou and Xuzhou. In the south, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao The three tigers, Sun Jian and Sun Jian, are temporarily deadlocked, and the south can be put aside for the time being.

But the moment will cause earth-shattering changes in the general situation of the world, and the key lies in the west.One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, the remnants of Dong thief, Li Cui and Guo Si each hold important powers in Chang'an.I heard that Li Cui killed Fan Chou a few months ago and seized his military power.Fan Chou and Guo Si have always been friends, which is known to all the world.Li Cui killed people and seized his military power, Guo Si would definitely feel jealous of Li Cui because of this.The relationship between the two is becoming more and more tense, as long as someone takes advantage of it and ignites a fire on it, the two will definitely turn against each other.In this way, Chang'an will be in chaos.At that time, where the current sage will go will become the key to the general trend of the world. "

Wen Han's eyes continued to emit a bright light, and at the same time, he seemed to think of the words in Xi Long's words in his mind.

"Zhicai, do you want me to take advantage of the chaos in Chang'an to rescue the present sage!?"

Xi Long smiled slightly and nodded heavily.

"As long as the lord can stabilize Bingzhou before this, hoard food and grass, recruit talents, and recruit soldiers, and expand the army to [-]. In this way, it is enough to keep the integrity of the Holy Week and rebuild the court. As long as the lord can control the Holy One In your hands, you can coerce the emperor and command the princes, and the scholars and horses will not court, who can resist it?"

"Using the emperor to make the princes..."

Wen Han murmured, Xi Long really made this big policy for him.In history, Cao Cao made the princes because of coercing the emperor. According to the righteousness and righteousness, wherever the soldiers and horses go, they will be invincible, and all the talented and talented people in the world will gather around Cao Cao. This has established his brilliant life.Of course, among them, Cao Cao's great talent, strategy, wisdom, and employing people are the most important. However, it cannot be denied that taking the emperor to command the princes made Cao Cao's hegemony of pacifying the world go more smoothly.

Wen Han's pupils kept shrinking, his thoughts raced rapidly, and he said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

"I'm afraid that if Zhicai thinks of it, some people will think of it."

Xi Long was startled, and after looking deeply at Wen Han for a while, he asked suspiciously.

"My lord, you mean Cao Mengde? This is really weird. My lord is not a roundworm in Cao Mengde's stomach. How do you know he would want to go with me?"

"Could it be possible for me to tell you that I came here through time travel?"

Wen Han rolled his eyes, coughed twice, of course it was impossible to tell the truth, and he made an inscrutable expression.

"Cao Mengde and I are close friends, so of course we know what he thinks. Zhicai might as well just pretend that he really has this idea and deal with it first." Xi Long saw that Wen Han was confident, as if Cao Cao would really want to coerce the emperor. The thought of making the princes immediately frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said.

"In this case, the right to choose is not in the hands of the lord or Cao Mengde, but depends on whether the current emperor and the ministers of the court will choose the lord or Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Wen Han opened his eyes, nodded a few times, with a very complicated expression, and said in a slightly bitter tone.

"There is almost no need to think about it. The Holy Majesty and the ministers in the court will choose Cao Mengde [-]%. After all, Cao Mengde came from a wealthy family, and his grandfather served three generations of emperors. The Cao family has always been trusted by the Han Dynasty. The power and influence are extremely high. Although I have made many contributions to the Han Dynasty, I was born in a poor family, and this alone is enough to make me inferior to Cao Mengde in the eyes of the current Holy Majesty."

Xi Long also came from a poor family, he was touched a lot when he heard Wen Han's words, he has a deep understanding of the discrimination against people from poor families.At the beginning, he had just achieved success in his studies, and he entered the officialdom with enthusiasm, and wanted to devote himself to the Han court with all his talents and knowledge.Unexpectedly, the reception official saw that he was dressed in shabby clothes, and his face was extremely disdainful and ugly from the beginning.Later, he asked about Xilong's background, and when he heard that Xilong was from a poor family, his demeanor immediately changed, he kept yelling and scolding Xilong, and even ordered the left and right soldiers to drive Xilong out of the house.

The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, this is the case for a small official, let alone the ministers of the court and the royal family.However, the trend of poor families not being valued and being unreasonably despised by superiors, bureaucrats and even royal family members has lasted for nearly a hundred years in the Han Dynasty, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this trend reached its peak.

Xi Long paced slowly, the original plan was broken by Wen Han's sudden words.If Cao Cao really had the idea of ​​coercing the emperor and ordering the princes, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would definitely choose Cao Cao.

Even if the current Han Dynasty court is desolate and has no prestige, after all, the society in this world still belongs to the Han Dynasty in name, and Wen Han and Cao Cao are both Han officials.Unlike the remnants of the Dong thief, Li Cui and Guo Si can break the cans and smash the cans, unscrupulously accuse the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and despise the prestige of the court.

If Wen Han spent his troops, food and grass to finally rescue Han Xiandi and all the officials in the court, but in the end Han Xiandi said to go to Cao Cao, if Wen Han, as a Han minister, did not let him go, he would be treasonous, and if he did it by force, he would only be forced to rebel The name of the thief.In this way, even if Wen Han helped Emperor Xian of Han to rebuild the court, the princes of the world would still compare Wen Han to Li Cui and Guo Si, and regard this new dynasty as a false dynasty.In that way, it is impossible to force the emperor to command the princes.

Xi Long kept concentrating, and soon fell into deep thought.Wen Han knew that Xilong was deep in thought, so he didn't bother, he closed his eyes and rested quietly.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and three hours had passed. During this period, in order not to disturb Xi Long, Wen Han specially made several gestures to the guards outside the door, signaling them not to let anyone come in and disturb him.

Unknowingly, the sky has slowly turned dark.Suddenly Xi Long's eyes lit up as if he had settled down, as if lighting up the entire hall.Xi Long just wanted to move his body, but found that his feet were numb and painful, and he almost fell down on the spot.And Wen Han had walked to his side at some point, and quickly supported Xi Long.

"You weak scholar, I usually tell you to exercise more, but you just stood for a few hours, and your body can't hold it anymore. Come, I will help you sit aside."

Xi Long raised his eyebrows, gave Wen Han a white look, and retorted.

"My lord, you really have no conscience. I've been on the road non-stop for days, with few rests on the way. As soon as I came back to Anyi, I was caught here by my lord. My lord, you racked your brains to think about big strategies. One stop lasted for several hours. , Mental and physical strength have long been exhausted. What's more, my lord, have you ever seen that I have free time? I don't have time to do this exercise."

Xi Long's unintentional remark made Wen Han's heart twitch again and again, and only then did he realize that his entire power had been supported by Xi Long alone.But now that his power is growing, Xilong is getting busier and busier. If this continues, Xilong may fall ill due to fatigue one day.

After Wen Han helped Xi Long aside to sit down, he suddenly fixed his expression and bowed deeply to Xi Long.

"If it weren't for Zhicai's words, it would be my fault that I haven't noticed Zhicai's suffering. I'm too dependent on Zhicai. You should rest well during Zhicai's time. For the time being, I won't make any big moves. You can relax and recuperate. Also, I will try my best to recruit more talented people to share the burden with you."

As the protagonist, Wen Han actually confessed his mistake to Xi Long. Xi Long never thought that his half-joking complaint would make Wen Han listen to his heart.At this time, Xilong's heart felt bursts of warmth, and then he smiled wildly and waved his hands.

"Eating the king's salary, sharing the king's worries. My lord, Long can't afford such a big gift. What's more, what Long said just now is just a joke, so my lord doesn't have to take it seriously. Long is born to work hard, if he really wants to rest for a while , as soon as I am free, I feel like I have been bitten by ants all over my body, and I feel uncomfortable."

"Okay. No need to say more. You are my Wen Bufan's brain. If there is anything wrong with you, I will lose my brain. If a person's brain stops, it means... I don't need to say more, Zhicai, you should understand .”

Wen Han pretended to be slightly angry, staring at Xi Long unquestionably.Xi Long shook his head helplessly and smiled, then agreed to Wen Han to take a good rest for a while.

After a while, the numbness of Xilong's body subsided a little, and suddenly his expression became solemn. Wen Han saw that his expression also became fixed, his eyes tightened, and he assumed a posture of listening attentively and concentrating.

"It's not a good thing for the lord to lose his horse. If Cao Mengde really will join the chaos in Chang'an in the future, and the Holy Majesty finally chooses Cao Cao, this is not all a bad thing. If Cao Mengde really coerces the emperor to command the princes, it may have a great effect, but At that time, someone will definitely feel jealous of him."
