Sun Ce stood on the hillside, watching Cao Cao walk down the hillside, climb over his horse, and galloped away surrounded by a group of knights, frowning slightly.

The failure to kill Cao Cao is naturally not because Cao Cao is eloquent - although he is indeed able to say it - but because of the pros and cons. So far, he still believes that Yuan Shao will lose, and even if he wins the world and establishes the Yuan family dynasty, it will not last long. If the doctor does not treat himself, he cannot solve the problems brought by the aristocratic family, and Liu Xiu cannot, even more so. Since this is the case, then the conflict between Cao Cao and his ideas will break out sooner or later.

Yuan Shu said that Yuan Shao accepted Cao Cao as an assassin and used his eunuch's children to assassinate Zhang Rang and others. No matter how hard Cao Cao tried, it would be difficult to tear off the mark on his body, and it would be difficult to be truly accepted by Yuan Shao. At best, it was a hawk or dog. Historical books said that he had been competing with Yuan Shao in a row, which was naturally a beautification of the winner - as far as he was concerned, he did not have that strength yet - but he had never sent his family to Yecheng, which shows that he had not planned to really rely on Yuan Shao from the beginning.

Just like the Sun family is unwilling to send their families to Wancheng now.

If Cao Cao was really at ease to be a rich man, how could he use Fan Li as an example to encourage himself? In fact, in his mind, he was more likely to compare himself to Goujian, and Yuan Shao was naturally Fuchai.

Why should I rush to get rid of such a person? Why should I be a marginal person and fight each other too quickly?

Looking at Cao Cao's distance, Sun Ce withdrew his gaze and flashed his eyes. He felt that the grass where Cao Cao was standing was a little strange. He walked over and plucked it with a scabbard. A three-stone crossbow was exposed from the grass. The string was tight and the arrow was in the groove. The sharp three-edged arrows shone coldly.

Sun Ce carried the crossbow and rushed a few steps, looked at Cao Cao who was leaving, and cursed. "Fuck, how are your mother?"

"Ah!" Cao Cao sneezed and almost fell off the back of the galloping horse. He rubbed his nose and muttered a few words. Lou Gui, who was beside him, came over. "Meng De, what did you say?"

"Zi Bo, is Sun Ce still looking at me?"

Lou Gui looked back and frowned slightly. "Mr. Fu, we are already very far from the hillside."

Cao Cao let out a long breath, and cold sweat came out of his body. He untied his armor belt and lifted up his back to suffocate. Lou Gui glanced at Cao Cao's forehead and saw that the dense sweat beads were soaking his sideburns. Even the collar was darker. He couldn't help but look back at the vaguely difficult figure on the hillside, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Cao Cao did not turn his head, but the light from the corner of his eyes saw Lou Gui's eyes clearly. He remained silent and told him about the meeting with Sun Ce. Lou Gui suddenly realized that before he could speak, Cao Chun on the side said first: "This Sun Ce is so cautious, he is indeed not like his father Sun Jian."

Lou Gui's eyes flashed, and flames jumped quietly.

Cao Chun looked at Cao Cao for a moment and said, "Mr. Mansion, I recognize the guard beside Sun Ce."

"who is he?"

"The Chenliu people should be the flag-holder under Zhao Chong's command. They are called Dian Wei. They are a ranger. They are extremely powerful and can hold the flag with one hand. They can use a pair of 80 kilograms of iron halberds. They are called heroes in the army."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and sighed. "This Sun Bofu is really incomprehensible."

——

Sun Ce walked into Yuan Shu's central army tent and placed the long sword given by Cao Cao and the three stone crossbow hidden in the grass in front of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu smiled when he saw the knife, held it in his hand and played with it, but he didn't look at the crossbow.

"How is that, is that short man willing to surrender? This knife was not given to me by him, right? Bo Fu, I tell you, this is a good thing. If you want to talk about the late emperor, you are really a talent. These knifes are very popular in Luoyang."

Sun Ce was stunned. "General, are you talking about... Emperor Xiaoling?"

"Of course, King Hongnong is not dead yet. Can I call him the late emperor?" Yuan Shu gave Sun Ce a blank look, stood up, pulled out the long sword, held the knife in both hands, and slashed it twice. It's true, it's quite good, and he's a master at first glance. Yuan Shu said enthusiastically: "Bo Fu, give it a try."

Sun Ce had no intention of trying the sword, but it was difficult to get Yuan Shu's face, so he had to pick up the long sword that Yuan Shu leaned against and put on a stance. Yuan Shu slashed it with a knife, and the long sword in Sun Ce's hand broke in response. Sun Ce was shocked. It was a bit exaggerated to say that cutting iron like mud, but the sharpness of the knife was indeed beyond his imagination.

"I didn't expect it?" Yuan Shu's eyes rolled and suddenly jumped up. "Why are you trying with my sword? This is the treasure sword passed down by my family."

Sun Ce looked at the half-long sword in his hand and looked at Yuan Shu with an angry look on his face, feeling embarrassed. "This..."

"No, you have to pay me a penalty." Yuan Shu inserted the long knife in his hand into his belt without saying a word. "No need to look for it, just let it be."

Sun Ce suddenly realized and stared at Yuan Shu, speechless. Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, grabbed the scabbard, and laughed. "Now I know why I call Lu Zhong Han Ghost? Hehe, I fought with that short man several times, and every time I suffer a loss, it's because of this knife. Now this knife belongs to me. Next time I meet, let's see how I deal with him."

"General, is this really good?" Sun Ce was amused and crying.

"Okay, just give me the knife." Yuan Shu held the knife in one hand and put it on Sun Ce's shoulder with the other, and shook it hard. "To compensate you, I will tell you how good this knife is. The late emperor is good at Hu Feng, and there is Hu Tie in this knife. It is said that it was brought by the Hu man named An Shigao in Baima Temple. The late emperor spent several years to only kill eight swords and rewarded them to the Eight Captains of Xiyuan, so they are also called the Eight Bads of Xiyuan, each with their own names. I also wanted to join the Xiyuan Army, but I was already a general of the Hu Ben and was not willing to do so for a while, but I missed the opportunity and missed the opportunity. Haha, I didn't expect that the mountain would not turn around, and the water would turn around, so the knife actually came to my door."

Looking at Yuan Shu who was proud and not ashamed but proud, Sun Ce's interest was at another point.

"Emperor Xiaoling is good at Hu Feng, including Hu Tie?"

"Do you think he only knows how to drive a donkey cart, wear a Hu clothing, and eat Hu food?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to change the topic. "Tell me, why is Cao Cao willing to give such a good knife to someone? Did he decide to surrender to me?"

Sun Ce roughly explained the story of seeing Cao Cao, of course, he skipped the story of poor families and eunuchs with Cao Cao, and only said that Cao Cao first gave him a knife, and then provoked him. Finally, he discovered the crossbow that Cao Cao hid in the grass, and then realized that Cao Cao had murderous intent. Yuan Shu laughed and patted Sun Ce on the shoulder. He was obviously concerned, but no matter how he looked, he seemed to be gloating.

"Bo Fu, do you know now that I didn't slander him? This short man is born as an assassin, and he is very suspicious. He looks like an enemy. He has made him meet again and again but he has no good intentions. He either wants to take your life or sow discord between my king and minister. Hehe, Bo Fu, you are still young, and people's hearts are far more sinister than you think. Don't be polite to meet him next time, and take his life as soon as possible."
