Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, when Yuan Shu sent people to contact the small princes who had been dependent on him before, the news fell on deaf ears.

At this point, no matter how slow-witted Yuan Shu was, he understood that he had been silently excluded when the cake was divided.

"How dare you do that? How dare you do that?!"

At this moment, Yuan Shu, who was extremely angry, even thought of secretly leading his elite troops into the city and directly attacking Liu Xie, so that no one would suffer and would be labeled as traitors.

However, before Yuan Shu could send out troops, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei sent Xu You and Guo Jia respectively to visit Yuan Shu, and their words were full of warnings to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost went mad, and he also felt a strong sense of betrayal.

But Yuan Shu also understood that what he was doing was impossible. After Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei secretly reached an agreement, Yuan Shu had completely lost the ability to overturn the table on his own.

The next day.

When Yuan Shu arrived at Nangong with a gloomy face to prepare for the court meeting, he saw that the princes on his left and right were all talking and laughing, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching!
Until Yuan Shu saw Cao Cao standing in the corner with an equally gloomy face.

If Yuan Shu's face looked like a volcano that could erupt at any time, then Cao Cao's expression was almost as if his mother had died.

At this moment, Yuan Shu felt better. He walked up to Cao Cao, whom he had looked down upon before, and asked.

"Why doesn't Meng De smile? Could it be that the imperial court's reward is not to Meng De's liking?"

Cao Cao was silent for a long time before he spoke. "I have a personal grudge against Chen Gongtai. Chen Gongtai used his power for personal gain and never visited me."

If you need to use a word to describe Cao Cao's mood at the moment, just use his own name.

--Hold!

How could Cao Cao have imagined that Chen Gong, who should have died at the hands of the assassins, was not only safe and sound, but instead turned into Lu Bu's strategist, and then stabbed Cao Cao without hesitation.

When Cao Cao learned that Chen Gong was visiting various princes, he realized that something was wrong and went to Chen Gong personally with generous gifts, ready to apologize to Chen Gong and resolve the previous grudge.

Cao Cao even thought it was possible to rekindle their old relationship.

Cao Cao did not know how to cherish Chen Gong when he got him before. Now that Chen Gong has shown outstanding abilities under Lu Bu's command, Cao Cao feels that Chen Gong is extremely valuable.

However, the fantasy in Cao Cao's heart, who was willing to bear the punishment, was completely extinguished by Chen Gong's cold answer.

"If the palace doesn't report Brother Meng De's push, how can you be a good son?"

And no matter what Cao Cao thought, Yuan Shu suddenly felt that they were in the same boat, and he developed a sense of closeness to Cao Cao, whom he had disliked before.

"Hmph, in my opinion, this hall is full of people who are opportunistic and treacherous. Even if there is no reward today, so what? I am the legitimate son of the Yuan family, and my students and former officials are all over the Han Dynasty..."

After a pause, Yuan Shu patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said.

"Today these villains bullied us, we will definitely avenge them one day. And the child I gave birth to is a waste of Meng De's friendship for many years. How about joining my army?"

Cao Cao was slightly startled, and couldn't help feeling a little doubtful about the olive branch suddenly extended to him by Yuan Shu, with whom he had never dealt with before.

Therefore, Cao Cao said after a slight hesitation.

"Cao is on good terms with Benchu, so naturally he is also on good terms with Brother Gonglu."

Faced with Cao Cao's polite refusal, if it had been in the past, Yuan Shu would have been furious and scolded Cao Cao for being ungrateful on the spot.

However, at this moment, Yuan Shu actually developed a favorable impression of Cao Cao, thinking that Cao Cao was truly loyal and worthy of close friendship.

Immediately, Yuan Shu smiled and said.

"Then if Meng De ever intends to change allegiance, he only needs to write a letter. My son can support Meng De, and I will give him even more." Looking at Yuan Shu's serious expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little stunned.

However, before Cao Cao could continue speaking.

An eunuch happened to be loudly announcing the emperor's summons to all the ministers to come to the palace. The princes and ministers who had been waiting for a long time straightened their appearances and entered the Jiade Hall in an orderly manner.

……

At the same time, outside the Nangong Palace Gate.

Under the protection of Zhao Yun, Li Ji and Chen Gong rode in a carriage to the imperial garden in Beigong.

This court meeting, in the final analysis, is just a process of dividing the cake in public. The specific way of dividing it has already been fully agreed upon.

Furthermore, most of the ministers in Luoyang had already been slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, and the few remaining ones only served as decoration.

And since Lu Bu will definitely be present in person, this is undoubtedly the safest time to enter the Bei Palace, effectively avoiding the risk of Lu Bu going crazy and threatening his life.

However, even so, Liu Bei was still not at ease and still required Zhao Yun to always guard Li Ji.

However, seeing Chen Gong accompanying him all the way and showing the warrant to enter Beigong, Li Ji spoke with a half-smile on his face.

"The important business is in the Jiade Palace. Gongtai is not with Marquis Wen, but he has the leisure to accompany Ji to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers. Isn't he afraid of any accidents?"

Chen Gongze also smiled back and said.

"If we just let a group of people accompany the national scholar in the future, wouldn't it be too rude? Moreover, I have also studied rare flowers and plants, which can be a good reference for Mr. Zikun."

Li Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, opened the folding fan in his hand and pretended to thank Chen Gong with gratitude. At the same time, he felt something in his heart and said to himself.

"There must be something in the palace that they don't want me to be involved in, so Chen Gongtai doesn't trust others and doesn't hesitate to accompany me personally."

'Or maybe Chen Gongtai saw through my thoughts and wanted to find out what kind of exotic flowers and plants I was looking for?'

However, Li Ji did not say anything, but walked towards the Imperial Garden while chatting and laughing with Chen Gong.

Soon, when Li Ji arrived at the Imperial Garden, what he saw was a colorful field of flowers and plants.

Li Ji did not show any excitement. Instead, he stood there, looked at the scene and admired it. He even asked Chen Gong to write a few short poems.

When it comes to talking about military and political strategies, Chen Gong can still speak eloquently, but writing poems and essays is obviously not his forte.

Therefore, Chen Gong praised Li Ji a few words somewhat awkwardly, and then took the initiative to pull Li Ji into the imperial garden.

As he stepped into the Imperial Garden, Li Ji's eyes were almost constantly scanning the various flowers and plants therein.

Li Ji's advantage of being well-read was clearly revealed at this moment. Wherever he went along the way, he could talk about almost every kind of flower and plant native to the Han Dynasty.

Habits, uses, forms, etc., were all answered fluently.

After this series of words, Chen Gong felt dizzy and there was even a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Li Ji.

'no……'

"It is said that you are an expert in astronomy, geography, military and political strategy. How come you also know about exotic flowers and plants?"
