Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 341 The Controversy Between the Sons ([-])

"Brother Benchu, I never imagined that we would still be together after so many years. Han Wu even led troops to sneak attack on your foundation. One day I will lead my troops to the north to fight against you and seek justice for you!"

Cao Cao pretended to be very emotional and said, at the same time, he took the initiative to hold Yuan Shao's hand.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, he knew Cao Cao better than anyone else, and knew what Cao Cao was thinking.

"Cao Mengde, do you still need to play these tricks between me? What are you thinking, I, Yuan Benchu, don't need to guess! So, I lost my foothold, are you going to humiliate me or laugh at me? Or, You want to give me a good official position, let me help you control the court officials?"

Yuan Shao stared into Cao Cao's eyes and got to the point directly.

Although Yuan Shao didn't have a wise military adviser who was proficient in military law, he himself was an old fritter with a long history in the officialdom.

Before He Jin's death, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were officials in the same dynasty. At that time, they already knew that the officialdom was dangerous.

When Cao Cao heard Yuan Shao directly get to the point, he quickly laughed and said, "What are you talking about at the beginning? Our priority today is to clean up the dust for you! As for the things you said, we are not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

With a treacherous smile, Yuan Shao understood what Cao Cao said.

It seems that among the people behind this guy, there are a few important officials who need Cao Cao to rely on, and they are also important officials of the Han Dynasty who support the emperor.

Invited by Cao Cao to the city of Chengdu, Yuan Shao invited the whole afternoon to settle down his family and rest.

In the evening, it was naturally a banquet held by Cao Cao, the purpose of which was just to welcome Yuan Shao.

This time the banquet was no less than a state banquet, although the location was still in the prime minister's mansion, even Han family members like Liu Zhang were invited.

Almost all the court officials came. If His Majesty the Emperor also came, I'm afraid it would be hard to tell whether it was a banquet or an early court.

The only absent member of Cao Cao's clan was Xia Houyuan, who had been sleeping since he came back and hadn't woken up yet.

Cao Cao naturally didn't blame him, and was still thinking about how to reward wonderful talents.

The banquet was about to begin, and Cao Cao visited a seat on an equal footing with him, which was prepared for Yuan Shao.

Knowing Yuan Shao's temperament very well, Cao Cao thought that if he treated Yuan Shao as a subordinate on the surface, he would probably be really mad at him.

Therefore, Cao Cao didn't take his face into consideration, but just prepared a seat beside him.The most important thing is that Cao Ang and Yuan Shang are respectively responsible for pouring wine for their father.

There was chaos in the hall, and Cao Cao's party members, relatives and veterans of the Han Dynasty all gathered and sat down as they entered the play.Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi sat in the seat closest to their father, parallel to Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others.

Cao Cao raised his wine bowl, walked to the hall, and coughed lightly.

After hearing Prime Minister Cao's coughing, all the ministers immediately quieted down and listened to what the prime minister said next.

Cao Cao smiled slightly and said: "Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its time; the snake rides the fog, and it ends up in dust. The old man has a long-term ambition; the martyr is old, and his ambition is endless. The period of shrinking and shrinking is not only in the sky; If you are blessed, you can have eternal life. Fortunately, even if you sing, you will sing your ambitions!"

"As soon as this person gets old, he always misses his youth. I still remember when Prime Minister Ben Chu was young, and Ben Chu played in Luoyang and Chang'an, how happy and comfortable it was! But there were many things that happened later, from Dong Zhuo's chaos in the capital, Yuan Shu framed Benchu ​​and sent people to slander and threaten Benchu ​​to murder Yuan Kai; then Han Wu continued to lead troops to attack Benchu ​​until today..."

"I didn't expect that one day I could have a drink with Benchu ​​again, and then be an official in the same dynasty as Benchu! Come on, the Yuan family has been an important official in the Han Dynasty for generations, four generations and three princes. Meng De was able to come to Chengdu as an official for Benchu. , toast you a bowl!"

Cao Cao raised his wine bowl again and bowed to Yuan Shao.

Cao Ang quickly picked up the wine jar, trotted to his father, and filled his bowl with wine.

Yuan Shao chuckled, he knew that Cao Cao was helping him wash away his stains.

Han Wu tried his best to blame himself for the murder of Yuan Wei. Now Cao Cao came to clear himself of the charges, obviously to let the veterans of the Han Dynasty see a clean leader!
Yuan Shao is not stupid, he can understand that Cao Cao will show fear of himself next.

Help yourself to win over the veterans of the Han Dynasty, and then Cao Cao can control the courtiers through himself.

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sima Yi who was serving beside him.

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu also took a look at Sima Yi, telling him to find a way to win over more courtiers.

Sima Yi swallowed, poured wine for Cao Pi, and said secretly, "Young master, you don't need to worry, you don't need to think about your interests, just ask what is right or wrong. Since the prime minister wants Mr. Cao Zhi to get Yuan Shao's support, then you should find a way to make friends with Mr. Xun Ling. Mr. Xun Ling Although he is the prime minister's adviser, but his heart is attached to the Han Dynasty, and he is also a veteran of the Han Dynasty."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi nodded and toasted Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu with a smile on his face.

The current drinking game can also be said to be Cao Cao's temptation to his sons. He wants to see who else can't bear it first except Zijian.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, seeing that everyone was seated, he raised his wine cup and said, "Ah Man, I'm here to toast you today! It's rare that we can be officials together and serve the emperor together."

"From now on, I hope to go back to my childhood with you, hahaha!"

Yuan Shao drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, looking quite unrestrained.

But he felt extremely bitter in his heart, how many people can bear the situation of living under the fence?
Cao Cao could also feel Yuan Shao's situation. In fact, if there was no struggle, he would indeed regard Yuan Shao as his best friend.

But now, God gave Cao Cao this opportunity, so he must seize it!
"At the beginning, I can understand your thoughts. Han Wu is also a traitor, and he will rebel sooner or later. From now on, you will live with me to stabilize the Han Dynasty, and I will avenge your eldest son! Come on, let's go back to our youth, this The jar of fine wine is directly dried!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, picked up a jar of wine, and drank boldly.

Although Yuan Shao was bitter, but seeing Cao Cao's true temperament, he also picked up the wine jar.

"Okay! Then I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman! Unexpectedly, you were the one who accompanied me at the beginning, and you will be the one who accompanied me in the future. Come, let me, Yuan Benchu, help you!"

The two raised the wine jar to drink, this scene made everyone in the hall tremble.

Except for Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren and other members of the Cao clan, there are probably no one else who can drink with Cao Cheng.

And even now, Xiahoudun and others are still adhering to the duty of subordinates, and naturally attach importance to etiquette.

In five years, Yuan Shao is the first person who can drink with Cao Cao!
Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Cao Pi's ear and said, "Master, you must remember that you must stay away from Yuan Shao in the future. If there is something you don't understand, I will explain it to you when you go back."

"If you just want to be at ease, you can try to win over Yuan Shao. If you want to compete with the eldest son, stay away from Yuan Shao today and win over your clan as much as possible."

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Pi was taken aback for a moment, but immediately nodded in agreement.

Both Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen heard it, and they also became puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Sima Yi's gourd.
