Driven away by Uncle Liu, Cao Cao worshiped me as a military adviser!

"Don't fall for Cao's tricks!"

"This must be Thief Cao's treacherous scheme. He left a message before the battle. He is trying to disturb our army's morale!"

Although Liu Bei's tone was very firm, it gave people a feeling that this was the case.

But in his heart, he didn't have much confidence in what he said.

How many days have passed since the military division went to Jiangdong.

There was no news at all during this period.

Now, news suddenly came back that the military division was dead.

This...how does this not worry people?

Liu Bei said that this was Cao Cao's trick, but he was just telling himself.

However, the naive Zhang Fei didn't think so much.

When he heard that his elder brother said that this was Cao thief's trick, he immediately believed it.

"I just said how could the military division die, how smart is the military division? This huge city of Hefei was brought down by the military division's ingenuity. Would such a smart person die in the chaos?"

"Little scout, I'll just say you're talking nonsense, but you're not willing to, is it credible now?"

Guan Yu was (agfa) thoughtful.

He noticed that his elder brother was saying that this was Cao Cao's treacherous timing, his hands and legs were trembling.

This is clearly a manifestation of fear, fear, and lack of self-confidence.

This shows that even the eldest brother himself doesn't really believe what he said.

From this point of view, I am afraid that the military division is really in danger!

After listening to Liu Bei's words, the scout shook his head and said:

"My lord, if that's the case, that's fine. However, the military division has been going to Jiangdong for a long time, and no news has come back. This... how can this not cause people to worry!"

When Zhang Fei saw the scout talking in frustration, he immediately glared angrily, and shouted loudly:

"You guys, aren't you cursing Mr. Zhuge? The battle is imminent, do you want to disturb the morale of the army! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kill you to sacrifice the flag!"

Zhang Fei's intimidation worked, and the scout didn't dare to speak again.

However, at this time.

A spy who came back from Fancheng walked into the hall.

He bowed and saluted, and said:

"My lord, there was a heavy fog on the river last night. Twenty straw boats came from Jiangdong to borrow arrows, but Jiang Gan's Jiangdong navy led them to destroy them by mistake!"

"Twenty Jiangdong straw boats sank, and none of the soldiers on board survived!"

This sudden news made Liu Bei's heart sink.

The straw boat borrows arrows.

Such a strategy sounds like it came from the hands of a military division.

The military division went to Jiangdong this time, and Zhou Yu would definitely make things difficult for him.

And this time the straw boat borrowed arrows, it is very likely that the military master's method of cracking.

However, Mr. Zhuge's [-] grass boats all sank, and none of the gentry on board survived!

Doesn't that mean that Mr. Zhuge...

he really...

Passed away!

Liu Bei's face was ashen, his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Military advisor Zhuge has been his only spiritual support for so many days.

It is also the only hope for Hefei to be unbreakable and achieve supremacy.

Now, with the news of Zhuge's death, everything has disappeared like a dream.

Seeing his elder brother like this, Guan Yu felt distressed in his heart.

Caressing the beautiful beard, said:

"Brother, don't panic, and my third brother and I are sitting in Hefei, Cao Cao can't attack!"

"A military adviser is a wise star descending to earth. Auspicious people have their own celestial features. He will definitely be fine."

"Brother, don't fall for that thief Cao's scheme!"

However, the ashamed Liu Bei couldn't listen to a word at all.

Zhuge Liang is dead, and everything is over.

His hegemony, his Han Dynasty, his wife, his son, his half-life foundation, and his Hefei are all over!

Liu Bei, who had been holding on for so many days, finally collapsed.

The fear in his heart was hard to suppress.

"I, Liu Bei, am the emperor's uncle! It's only natural for me to help the Han family!"

"Cao Cao, Cao thief! You thief who coerced the emperor to make the princes, everyone in the world will get it and punish you!"

"I can't die! Anyone can die, but I can't die!"

"If I die, who will help the Han family?"

"Hefei can't be lost... can't be lost!"

"But I only have [-] soldiers and horses, I only have [-] soldiers and horses!"

"Second brother, can you single out a hundred thousand troops?"

"Third brother, are you capable of fighting the many generals under Cao Cao's command?"

"Zhao Yun and Xu Shu have betrayed Cao Ying!"

"I hate it! I hate it!"

"I have to live, I have to escape!"

"Yes! I want to run away! I want to run north!!"

"Fat water, to fat water!"

"I want to escape to Feishui, I must leave immediately!"

"I can't die, I must live."

"I have lost so much to gain all this, and I must never lose it again!".

Chapter 74 Yuedan Commentary, Talent Recruitment Order, How Many People Crack the Ground, How Many People Become Kings (plus more)

Outside Xuchang City.

Che Linlin, Ma Xiaoxiao.

On the official road, people flow intertwined, and they all go to the suburbs, the place where the monthly evaluation will be conducted.

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all the heroes have risen together~, and the world has been in chaos."

"Duke Ming embraced the Son of Heaven to comfort the world, honored the king and fought against the barbarians, punished Lu Bu, swallowed Yuan Shao, defeated Liu Bei, and slaughtered Wuhuan. If there was no Duke Ming, how many people would be called kings and how many people would be called emperors in this world? Only then did the people of the Central Plains have a short period of peace."

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Xun Yu said with a smile: "Look, sir, this scene of peace is all thanks to Ming Gong."

Xun Yu kept saying good things about Cao Cao in front of Chen Fan, so that Chen Fan's ears were almost callused.

Needless to say, I knew that I was going to persuade myself to become an official beside Cao Cao.

Chen Fan was really bored, so he simply asked: "Xun Lingjun, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "Let's talk, sir."

However, what Chen Fan said next made Xun Yu unable to laugh: "Xun Lingjun's Duke Ming, is he embracing the emperor to caress the world, or is he coercing the emperor to command the princes?"

"What kind of barbarians are the people like Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei who are going to fight against the barbarians when you honor the king?"

"If there is no Minggong, the world does not know how many people will be called kings and how many people will be called emperors. This is true. Minggong is a Hanchen, Shishi, Hanlu, and naturally he will not be called emperor, but what if he is called king?"

"Duke Ming won't become emperor, what if Duke Ming's son becomes emperor?"

Xun Yu was stunned, his eyes immediately lost.

Chen Fan's words directly hit the weakest point in his heart...

He and Cao Cao have common ideals, but they also have differences.

He has always hidden those differences and pretended not to see them. All he can see is that Cao Cao is getting stronger and stronger with his help, and the world is becoming more and more unified.

But now, Chen Fan directly picked out what was deep in Xun Yu's heart, which he had been deliberately hiding all this time.

"Although my husband and I have known each other not long ago, he still refuses to reveal his name, but in today's world, Mr. Xun Yu is the only one who knows me." At this moment, Xun Yu's understanding of Chen Fan has taken a step forward.

Not only is she stunning in the military strategy, she is also good at guessing people's hearts.

As for if one day his Duke Ming becomes king and his son proclaims emperor, that will be in the future.

He, Xun Yu, is loyal to the great man, and assisting Cao Cao is to make the people of the great man healthy.

If there is a day...he Xun Yu will die to show his ambition!

……

drive!

drive!

drive! !

A fast horse came galloping, followed by several servants.

"Master Pi, look, that is Xun Lingjun's carriage!"

Cao Pi reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the carriage in front of him suspiciously: "Yue Dan Ping, how could Xun Lingjun also come to participate?"

The servant said: "According to me, it may not be Xun Lingjun who came to participate in the Yuedan review, but Xun Lingjun sent someone to participate in the Yuedan review..."

Cao Pi frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

The servant stuck to him and said in a low voice, "Recently, there is an extra guest at Mr. Xun Ling's house. Although he is not very old, Mr. Xun Ling respects him very much. He must call him Mr...."

Cao Pi frowned and pondered: "In this case, he must be a great hero, and I must make friends with him!"

……

Inside the carriage.

"Sir, do you know the origin of this month's review?" Xun Yu changed the topic.

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "Naturally, I know that brothers Xu Shao from Runan County are prominent in the world and highly respected. They often criticize and criticize current people, poems, calligraphy and paintings on the first day of every month."

"No matter who it is, once it is inscribed, it will be worth a hundred times, and it will be spread in the world, and it will be considered a good talk. Therefore, it is famous far and wide, and it was very popular for a while."

"Scholars and literati flock to it, and the world calls it Yuedan Commentary."

Xun Yu nodded lightly, his eyes full of admiration: "I don't know how you think about Yue Dan's elegant review, sir?"

Chen Fan laughed aloud, and said: "This month's review, the reviewer is not poetry, but future..."

"Okay!" Xun Yu's joy was beyond words, and every time he communicated with Chen Fan, he always got unexpected surprises.

After a while, it will be delivered to his Duke Ming, Duke Ming will be delighted.

"Sir, I would like to know what kind of questions will be given to you by the Ya Review on the first day of the month?" Xun Yu asked.

Chen Fan snorted and smiled: "I don't care about fame and wealth. If it wasn't for Xun Lingjun's kind invitation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be participating in the Ya Ceremony even if I come this month."

Xun Yu sighed resentfully.

This little gentleman is good at everything, but he takes fame and fortune too lightly and doesn't fight for anything. He doesn't look like a student of Confucianism, but more like a Taoist figure.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fan's voice changed: "I'm not interested in Yuedan's criticism of me."

"However, I'm a little bit interested in commenting on this month's day..."

Xun Yu couldn't believe it. It's like you don't care about your test scores, but you are very interested in the test system.
