The book is followed last time.

After Yuan Shu left, Cao Cao was silent for a while and asked Li Zhi: "Brother Xingzhi, you should also know that Yuan Shu has agreed to help him, why did he give him a 20,000 army for nothing?"

After hearing this, Li Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Two reasons.

First, that is to make Yuan Shu completely fall to your side.

Yuan Shu attaches too much importance to interests. If there is no interest to buy him, I am afraid that even if he commits to you, he will have a different ambition.

After giving him the 20,000 troops, although he may also be in a rebellion, this possibility will be greatly reduced.

After Yuan Shu left the city, he handed over the 20,000 troops to him with great fanfare.

By then, everyone in the world will know that they have given Yuan Shu 20,000 troops.

At that time, if Yuan Shu dares to rebel, he will definitely be despised by the people of the world.

Yuan Shu is more handsome, so if he doesn't have great benefits, he will never rebel!

These 20,000 soldiers would be like putting a rein on Yuan Shu."

"So that's it." After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao nodded clearly.

Then, he said with a hint of embarrassment: "But... in this way, I will make Brother Xingzhi spend money again!"

As he said that, he looked at Li Zhi and said with guilty expression: "Brother Xingzhi, you have already paid a lot for your best work, so there is no need to pay more.

Otherwise... these 20,000 soldiers would come out from Brother Wei's command?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi glanced at Cao Cao, put down the teacup, stared at him seriously and said, "Brother Meng De, you are a bit disgusting when you say this.

The reason why I agree to Yuan Shu's request is that even if I give him 20,000 troops, I will not suffer any losses.

At that time, after capturing the army of that aristocratic family, he found that more than 20,000 of them were simply unsatisfied.

I have a headache about how to deal with the 20,000 people.

If they were released, they might return to their original aristocratic families, and then there would be countless twists and turns.

And they are useless to raise them. They are just servants who serve people, and they can't do anything except serve people.

Moreover, these people are very thin and not suitable for work.

Therefore, when forced to do anything, I can only support them for nothing.

Now that I have the opportunity to send them out, I really want to ask for it!”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao looked amused and crying.

He didn't expect that Li Zhi would hand over 20,000 waste to Yuan Shu.

I'm afraid that Yuan Shu would be furious after seeing the so-called 20,000 army.

Looking at Cao Cao's laughing and crying expression, Li Zhi slid it

After siping tea, he said with a smile: "I just promised him to give him a 20,000 army, and did not say that these 20,000 troops were all people, so this is not considered a rebellion."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi was not saying these gossips, his face turned right, his eyes stared at Cao Cao with bright eyes, and said, "Brother Meng De, I believe that with Brother Meng De's wisdom, you should also notice your purpose. The reason why I helped you is also for your grand goal.

So, if Brother Meng De really wants to repay you, then follow me to achieve that grand goal!"

After saying that, Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao with anticipation, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.

"This..." After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao was in a dilemma.

Of course, he also guessed Li Zhi's purpose. Li Zhi wanted to train him into a qualified lord and then work with him to achieve Li Zhi's goal.

But it is precisely because of this that Cao Cao was a little nervous.

Because he didn't know whether he could become a qualified lord and a qualified hero.

Moreover, he still has a trace of expectations for the Han Dynasty.

He hoped that a revival of the Han Dynasty would emerge, and then he would worship him as the main force and jointly revival of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, when he faced Li Zhizhi with anticipation, he was hesitant.

He neither wanted to hurt Li Zhi's heart nor gave up the slightest expectation in his heart.

Li Zhi saw Cao Cao's face full of hesitation, and after thinking for a while, he also knew that Cao Cao still had a glimmer of hope for the Han Dynasty.

Although Li Zhi was a little disappointed, he was a little happy at the same time.

A decisive Cao Cao was indeed what he wanted to see.

But if you are too decisive and decisive, Li Zhi will be a little scared.

Because Cao Cao's reputation in history is not very good.

Although Li Zhi chose Cao Cao as his lord, he hoped that Cao Cao would become a humane person, rather than the suspicious and killing hero in history.

Therefore, when he saw Cao Cao hesitating, Li Zhi stopped forcing him, but instead comforted him: "Brother Meng De doesn't have to make things difficult. I am not forcing Brother Meng De to make a choice."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiluo pondered and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, why not do this? What if you make a bet with me?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Li Zhi with curiosity and asked, "What bet?"

Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao and replied: "If Brother Meng De's conspiracy this time is really successful, he will give up that plan and help Brother Meng De revive the Han Dynasty.

If Brother Meng De failed to challenge Dong this time, then Brother Meng De must have given up on the Han Dynasty.

At that time, please don’t be indecisive and fight for the world with all your might, and then achieve that goal with us. How about it?”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, he was stunned

After a long time.

He heard a strong sense of confidence from Li Zhi's words, which means that Li Zhi was very optimistic about his conspiracy this time.

Since Li Zhi is not optimistic about asking for Dong, why does he have to work hard to prepare troops and edicts for himself?

With this question in mind, Cao Cao asked directly: "Listen to what Brother Xing said, Brother Xing is very dissatisfied with this call for Dong this time?

Since that's the case, why should I support you?"

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi immediately burst into laughter after hearing Cao Cao's words.

Then, he looked at Cao Cao who was confused and said while smiling: "Brother Meng De is smart and confused for a lifetime.

As the saying goes, it is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake. Since I have to make up my mind to support Brother Meng De, of course I have to provide timely help when Brother Meng De is in a downturn.

In this way, we can not only get the gratitude of Brother Meng De, but also make Brother Meng De owe the next favor.

At that time, I can use this favor to let Brother Meng De support the plan I have.

In this way, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. To be honest, after hearing Li Zhi's words, his first reaction was: "My brother Xingzhi has always been using himself?"

Then, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, almost believing Li Zhi's nonsense.

If Li Zhi really wants to worship him and want him to owe a favor, why is it so troublesome?

As long as Li Zhi makes a move when he is in a downturn, he will be grateful.

Moreover, even if Li Zhi really wants to help him in time, why should he tell him frankly?

Saying this will not only not only not get his gratitude, but will instead arouse his disgust.

Therefore, he believed that Li Zhi's words just now were comforting him and told him not to care about the tens of thousands of soldiers anymore.

After thinking it through, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "You have already known the good intentions of Xingzhi's virtuous brother, and I am really sorry for it."

However, there is no need for Xingzhi to do this anymore. You already owe you a lot.

If my brother is thinking about his brother in this way, he will be a little ashamed of his brother!

Being a brother is also a real man, how can you eat food that comes from pity?!"

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhi with a persistent face.

He didn't want him to rely on Li Zhi everywhere like a child who had not grown up, which made him feel humiliated!

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi thought for a while and then understood what Cao Cao meant.

But after thinking it through, he smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his kindness touched Cao Cao's self-esteem.

However, after reflecting for a while, he felt that he had indeed passed.

Even if he wants to help Cao Cao, there is no need to do it for him everywhere.

Make plans.

In this way, Cao Cao, who has not experienced any setbacks, may not be able to grow up at all. At that time, he will really harm others and himself!

After understanding his mistake, Li Zhi replied with a wry smile: "Thank you, Brother Meng De, for your reminder!

If it weren't for Brother Meng De's prompt reminder, I would probably have protected Brother Meng De strictly.

In this way, not only will it not help the brother, but it may also harm the brother!"

After saying that, Li Zhi seemed to have something to do and stood up and walked around the hall...
