It's a pity that this time and that time are different.

Historically, Boss Cao listened to Liu Bei's words mainly to win over Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei had Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers at that time and could easily recruit an army of ten thousand people in Xiaopei. Lu Bu was already a defeated general and his army was exhausted.

For Boss Cao's gain, it is naturally easy to make a choice.

But this time, because after Boss Cao captured Xuzhou and Qingzhou one after another, Yuan Shao had already shown his fangs in advance.

Boss Cao knew that Yuan Shao had strong soldiers and horses, but he could not find other reinforcements or allies for a while, so Lu Bu's group became the only choice at this time. If Lu Bu was killed at this time, Lu Bu's soldiers would definitely alienate him.

Even if he is forcibly taken under his command, he will lose most of his combat power, and may even become a stab in his back when a war breaks out.

It's a pity that people have selfish motives, and their butt determines their head.

Seeing that they could not persuade Boss Cao, this group of "old subordinates" gradually united and started to oppose the Lu Bu Group. There was a faint tendency of party struggle and they disliked each other.

Naturally, this is not what Boss Cao wants to see.

Although he is in a good situation now, he is not yet in a position to use the art of checks and balances to control people. Both the "old subordinates" and the Lu Bu Group are very important to Boss Cao, and he cannot suppress them at this time.

, otherwise it will affect the morale of the entire Cao camp.

Among Boss Cao's "old subordinates", in addition to Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu and others, Boss Cao naturally also values ​​Wu Liang's attitude very much.

As long as these people he really relies on do not get involved in this matter, the remaining "old subordinates" will naturally not be able to make any big waves.

That's why Boss Cao gave Cheng Yu an order early in the morning.

If Wu Liang comes back before the celebration banquet, teach him to follow the plan to test Wu Liang's thoughts. After all, "son-in-law" and "adopted son" are relatively easy to get jealous. Naturally, his "father-in-law" and "adopted father" will have to reconcile in time.

, the palms and backs of the hands are all “meat”.

Incidentally.

In fact, Xun Yu was not involved in this matter. With his intelligence, it was impossible for him to fail to see Boss Cao's situation and intentions. How could he hinder Boss Cao in this important matter?

At least on the surface, I would never do such a thing.

He was just pulled out by Boss Cao and used as a gunman...

…

Early the next morning, Cheng Yu sent a message: the celebration banquet will be held in ten days.

Wu Liang made some calculations and decided to set off in three days, so that he could arrive in Juancheng one or two days in advance.

The whole journey was speechless.

They finally arrived in Juancheng two days ahead of schedule as planned.

It turns out that the small house where Wu Liang lived in Juancheng during the "Yanzhou Rebellion" had a new owner, so Wu Liang simply didn't go and drove his carriage straight to Cao's Mansion.

As a result, when we arrived less than a hundred meters away from Cao's Mansion, an acquaintance walked towards us.

This person was none other than Lu Bu's general Hao Meng whom Wu Liang had met before when he was excavating the tomb of King Liu of Guangchuan.

This guy's vitality is also tenacious enough, and he survived the epidemic in the end.

However, Hao Meng was in the light and Wu Liang was in the dark at that time, so Wu Liang recognized Hao Meng, but Hao Meng had no impression of Wu Liang, so he walked towards him without looking sideways, and did not even look at him.

The result was just when the two sides were about to pass each other.

"Yang Wanli?"

A soldier behind Hao Meng suddenly shouted.

"?"

Hao Meng stopped instantly, looked back at the soldier, then followed the soldier's gaze to Yang Wanli, frowned and asked, "You two know each other?"

"General, do you remember the Yuancheng we visited last year?"

The soldier did not directly tell the story of the Valley of No Return, which contained the tomb of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan, but said vaguely, "At that time, Yang Wanli and I were both scouts, but we accidentally encountered Cao Jun when we were out scouting.
