He Jin cannot succeed, sooner or later, there will be trouble, and he needs to make plans early.

This is the news that Cao Cao left to his elders before leaving.

He Jin's meeting that day, he watched the whole process and did not speak, not because he had no opinion or even far higher than the opinions of everyone, but because he felt that none of the people in the room really wanted to do something for this country and this nation.

Without great ideals and ambitions, what is the difference between a salted fish?

Cao Cao was unwilling to be a salted fish, and he wanted to fight for his ambitions.

He went to Bingzhou not to meet Mei, but to understand the development routines of the people he thought were the sharpest in the world.

After the carriage and horses passed Taiyuan, he realized that Huo Hai himself was not in Bingzhou.

The official who greeted him told him that Huo Hai had gone to the grassland to inspect the defense zone and would take at least more than a month to return, and he didn't believe this.

He guessed that Huo Hai either returned to Heishan Village, which was his foundation. The development and stability of Heishan Village was particularly important to him, even greater than the importance of Bingzhou.

Either, I went to Yizhou and wanted to cause trouble there, but I would never go to patrol the Xianbei tribe on this hot day.

Oh yes, there are no Xianbei tribes in Bingzhou now, they are military defense zones designated by Huo Hai.

Of course, whether it is Heishanzhai, Bingzhou, or Yizhou, in Cao Cao's opinion, it is not a good place.

Heishanzhai is surrounded by many densely populated and wealthy counties in Jizhou. Although it has some strategic depth to rely on Taihang Mountain, it has more defense and is difficult to attack from outside.

Because Guangwu started his family by the northern aristocratic families, these families had not moved south yet, and they were all very powerful. Once Huo Hai expanded from Heishan Village, they would affect their interests. At that time, the entire court would do his best to destroy him.

This is also the reason why the three Zhang Jiao San brothers did not succeed even if they put all the main forces of the Yellow Turban in Jizhou.

Handan and Yecheng alone cannot be easily captured by tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Bingzhou area is worse than that of Black Mountain. It is bitter and cold in the north, with sparse population and small output. There are also nomadic peoples who may attack from the back at any time.

The south is full of mountains, and there are not many places to cultivate, so it is not suitable for raising soldiers.

The only fertile Hetao area is now in the hands of the Huns. It may be easy to take down Hetao, but it is difficult to keep it.

As for Yizhou, it is a place where the dragon is trapped, the roads are blocked, and it is not easy to enter and exit. It is suitable for separatist and a good life for a few years, but it is not suitable for taking this as the foundation to seize the world.

Mayi City is less than 200 miles away from Yanmen Pass, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Yanmen County. Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been an independent military city outside the counties. It is just near the intersection of Yanmen County and Shuofang County. It is the place where the farming and nomadic peoples meet and have the greatest conflict.

Cao Cao was the prefect of Yanmen County, and it might be a bit inconvenient to go to other counties, but he did not have any obstacles to going to Mayi City.

Just one day after taking office, he led a group of family generals to the camp in Mayi City.

After some notice, he met the highest-level general in the camp, the new camp captain, and Lu Bu.

"You are Cao Mengde?" Lu Bu seemed to have no respect for the two thousand stone prefect, and pointed at him.

"Uh, that's right, I wonder if this general's name is Gao?"

"I am the general of Jiuyuan, Lu Bu, whose courtesy name is Fengxian. How about it? You are in Luoyang, have you heard of my name?" Lu Bu said proudly.

‘Where is this the mallet?’

Cao Cao muttered in his heart, but he smiled in front of him, "Oh~! It turns out that it is General Lu of Jiuyuan, who has long admired Daming."

When Lu Bu heard the word "reverent to Daming for a long time" and immediately looked gloomy, he asked, "You are the prefect of Yanmen Army and are not on duty in this county. What's the matter for my Anbei Army camp?"

"Visit your General Huo, or General Zhang, too."

"Oh, it's not a visit to me! Then please come back! They are not here."

Cao Cao didn't know what position Lu Bu's stick was in the Anbei army. He was so arrogant and looked at Cao Ren beside him with a very unhappy expression, but saw that he looked at Lu Bu with a very vigilant look.

"Could this person be a more powerful general than Zhao Zilong and Chu Yan under Huo Hai's command?"

"Since they are not here, it's okay for me to visit General Lu. This place is not a place to speak, and the general can have a tent."

"Come to visit me! It's easy to say, come and have a drink and banquet. I want to entertain this prefect Cao." After saying that, Lu Bu turned around and walked towards his own camp not far from the gate.

There is no way, the camp of the new recruit camp is just like this. Going in, until the middle, it is Huo Hai's commander's tent.

Usually, the closer the generals to the head coach's tent, the higher the level, and now, Cao Cao knew that Lu Bu was nothing.

When he entered, Lu Bu had already sat in the center with a golden sword. After pointing to the empty seat on his left, his eyes were occasionally aiming at the distance outside the door curtain.

"General Lu is this..."

"Hey, you don't know that our Anbei Army has many rules. Even if it is a camp like me, it is not OK to drink and eat meat. Unless there are important visitors, the camp in charge of logistics will allocate some extra wine and food. Two thousand stone officials like you can be considered important visitors. If you benefit from your fortune, I can also have a good meal of wine and meat today." Lu Bu said very angry.

His words almost made Cao Cao and Cao Ren, who had just knelt down, fall under the table. He just asked if he was here to visit him, just to give him some wine and food to him.

"Cao has also been fortunate to taste the delicious food of Heishan Village. It is indeed delicious. I think General Lu is harsh and tight in the army. He has not eaten meat for a long time. He took the liberty to ask, is it because the Anbei Army's food and salary is not good?" Cao Cao took the opportunity to ask.

"Food and pay? Are you talking about the beans and chestnuts piled up like mountains behind the barracks? They are the staple food that soldiers usually eat, so how can they serve guests?" When Lu Bu was halfway through, he saw someone coming over with a pallet outside the barracks, and he was immediately delighted.

Soon, a large, three small and four dishes were placed in front of the three, as well as a wine pot and a small cup. The soldiers who served the dishes poured their cups full of wine. Suddenly, a clear transparent water line attracted Cao Cao's attention.

Because, as the waterline came out, there was a strong aroma of wine. This kind of wine, which was the emperor's imperial banquet, Cao Cao was fortunate to taste a glass of nectar wine, a specialty of Heishanzhai.

This wine is very good for this wine name, but it is a fragrance that has gone through the teeth. After drinking that small glass, for a long time, you will feel that other wines are bland and tasteless.

Unfortunately, Heishan Village only paid a small amount of tribute to the emperor and basically did not take out.

Unexpectedly, in Anbei's army, they were treating guests with such good wine. No wonder Lu Bu couldn't wait to send the cup to his mouth.

"I didn't expect that you are quite faced with two thousand stones! The logistics department of a pound of nectar and jade liquid is also given. I can't drink so much when the moon is ringing! I remember to come often in the future, and everyone will drink wine together." After a sip of wine, Lu Bu spit out a sip of wine and said comfortably.

"Well……"

When Cao Cao met such a live treasure, he didn't know what to say. After savoring the wine carefully, Cao Cao, who was hungry, looked at the dish. The three stacks of small ones were cooked, and the seasonal vegetables were added with some meat slices. However, the bowl of bright red things in the big porcelain bowl made Cao Cao curious.

"This is tomato and abalone soup. Tomatoes are unique to Black Mountain Village. They are sweet and sour, delicious, and the abalone is fat, tender and juicy. They are good things sent by the fishing team and can't be eaten elsewhere."

"It turned out to be abalone. No wonder there is a delicious taste that only the seafood taste has." Cao Cao nodded, and with one chopstick, he picked up a piece of abalone meat in the bowl with two or three taels of weight, put it in his mouth, and enjoyed it.

"Cao Mengde, do you like to eat abalone? We are all fellow students." Lu Bu also stuffed abalone into his mouth and said vaguely while eating.

If Huo Hai was here, he would definitely say, "The two are really dirty, such as fellow practitioners and those who like to eat abalone. In later generations, these are all words that veteran drivers often talk about.

Until now, Cao Cao has known Huo Hai's attitude. As a business partner, when Cao Cao comes, Huo Hai must have good wine and food to entertain, but don't be scheming, because he arranged for someone who only wants to eat and drink and has no scheming to receive him.

Therefore, Cao Cao didn't ask any more questions about the following words. After eating abalone with all his heart, he launched an attack on the other dishes.

After dinner, he doesn't plan to leave. You don't send a smart person to explain it. OK, I'll see it myself.

Then, Cao Cao was shocked.

Because, Lu Bu, who had eaten and drunk enough, summoned his subordinates to practice.

More than 10,000 people danced their weapons in unison, as neatly as one person's shouting, which scared Cao Cao.

You know, most of the Xianbei and Xiongnu people in this new camp, and many of them didn't even speak good words.

How did Lu Fengxian do this by training these people into troops that are more elite than the Luoyang Imperial Army?

Soon, they knew the answer.

Because Lu Bu started dancing the halberd. Three feet away, Cao Cao felt the force of the strong wind blowing over. He couldn't help but look at Cao Ren again.

"This person is the strongest general I have ever met in my life. None of them can't stand it." After watching for a while, Cao Ren, who was still scared, said with a sentence.

"Where is Sun Wentai, Jiangdong Tiger?" Cao Cao said in a daze.

No wonder this person dares to be proud of himself in front of a two thousand stone master like him. It turns out that he has real skills.

"Sun Wentai is far inferior to that." Cao Ren shook his head and said.

"No wonder Huo Hai was able to kill Wu Kui. It turns out that there are such powerful players in the army. It seems..."
