Chapter 713

What kind of magical theories are these?

If you don't believe it, open a certain app, search for Yu Jin, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Uh... people who blow Yu Jin.

Can only say they watched too much "Zhenhun Street" and marketing accounts and can't change their minds.

Arriving at the council hall.

The expression on Cao Cao's face appeared much older compared to a few days ago.

Perhaps Cao Cao himself never thought he would reach this step so quickly.

When he organized the Guandong Coalition to crusade against Dong Zhuo for the first time, how heroic and ambitious he was.

Even after failing later, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and others were still full of expectations for the world.

Only in troubled times can the true colors of a hero be revealed.

Cao Cao worked hard to use Yanzhou as a base, expanding rapidly in all directions, trying to become the hegemon of the Central Plains.

But just when he finally became the master of three provinces.

Gu Yi had already swept the western border of the Han territory and led his army straight to Yuzhou.

Yuzhou was lost, Yanzhou was lost, Xuzhou was lost.

Cao Cao could only retreat and lead the remaining troops to defend Qingzhou.

But he still did not give up resistance.

On the contrary, he actively explored a way out.

Expanding to the Liaodong region was an important strategy set by Cao Cao.

Facts proved he succeeded; he took Liaodong.

But after taking Liaodong, what then?

Gu Yi had already swept the entire south!

Immediately after, he was about to launch the final sweep against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Compared to others, Cao Cao's expansion speed was already considered very fast.

But compared to Gu Yi, it seemed one couldn't even see his back.

Once upon a time, the arrogant Cao Cao believed that the only person in the world who could be his opponent was Yuan Shao.

But even Yuan Shao, Cao Cao believed he was stronger than him.

But who would have thought.

Gu Yi, who was once personally forked out by Yuan Mishui, actually became the final big boss.

Times have changed.

It was impossible for Cao Cao to say he didn't regret it.

How he wished he could return to the time of the coalition.

At that time, if Gu Yi had been taken into his camp, how good would that be!

But everything seemed impossible now.

Xun Yu did not disturb Cao Cao, but let him meditate quietly on the side.

Until a quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao reacted.

"It's Wenruo."

"Please sit down quickly."

An awkward expression appeared on Cao Cao's face.

He had been eating and sleeping poorly recently.

"My lord, things might not be that bad yet."

Xun Yu comforted Cao Cao with a smile.

"Hahaha, Wenruo, I won't hide it from you."

"If I hadn't watched Yuan Gonglu fork Gu Linzhi out back then, but stood up to speak for him, how good would that be!"

"Presumably... Gu Linzhi could be used by me, right?"

Hearing what Cao Cao said.

Xun Yu shook his head helplessly.

He didn't want to dampen Cao Cao's confidence, but couldn't help saying:

"My lord, even if Gu Linzhi were in your camp, would you dare to use him?"

"He is a person born to oppose our aristocratic class."

"His appearance is even more excessive than Wang Mang's."

"He is a person who strives for reform, cutting off the retreat of aristocratic families."

"If you use him, I'm afraid... even I might not necessarily join your camp."

Seeing Xun Yu's upright expression.

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh.

He knew what Xun Yu said was the truth.

Xun Yu was complex, loyal to the Han and loyal to his family.

These two points were in direct conflict with Gu Yi.

Gu Yi had no family behind him.

Gu Yi was also not loyal to the Liu Han imperial family.

Who was he loyal to?

Loyal to his own ideals, loyal to his own aspirations.

A person like Gu Yi could become good friends with Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Fa Zheng, and others.

But it was absolutely impossible to become good friends with an upright person like Xun Yu.

No way, this is just how personality works.

Heavily using Gu Yi meant completely breaking with the aristocratic families.

Who would have the courage to do this?

Looking at the world, I'm afraid only Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian would.

Thinking of this.

Cao Cao kept questioning himself in his heart.

Did he dare?

He dared!

As the saying goes.

The person who knows you best is always yourself.

The commoner class might not see that aristocratic families are the tumor of the world.

But the aristocratic class itself sees it more clearly than anyone else.

How could they not know the harm they cause to the Liu Han imperial family?

But so what?

The direction your butt sits in determines your head.

For their own interests, sacrificing the interests of the Liu Han dynasty is standard operating procedure for the world.

If Cao Cao were just an ordinary aristocratic family member, he would naturally do the same.

What he wanted to do was to open up the next dynasty.

And this destined that once he sat in a position of great power, his relationship with aristocratic families could at most be one of mutual use and mutual precaution.

If he heavily used Gu Yi, why not?

Of course.

Everything has no assumptions.

Give Cao Cao another chance, perhaps he really would do that.

But there is never a shortage of "perhaps" in this world.
