At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Guo Peng emphasized his tone, clenched his fists, and said with determination on his face, "How could I be willing to do it for others? I want to make my own decisions, I want to control my own life! No one can make decisions for me!"

Afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief and regained his indifference just now.

"In the end, I didn't expect that I would embark on such a road. They also became my generals and made great achievements in battle, but no matter what, they were afraid of me. When I stared, their legs trembled. Cao Ren Cao Hong Everything is within my grasp, and it has not escaped my grasp after all.”

Saying this, Guo Peng smiled triumphantly.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Cai Yong was so surprised that he didn't even feel the pain on his body.

He didn't understand why the young Guo Peng was so scheming.

But thinking about Zhao Zheng who became the King of Qin at the age of 13, and Guo Peng and him are in the same rank. Thinking about it this way, maybe people like them are naturally suitable to be leaders.

"So, Zifeng, the Cao family, and the Xiahou family were planned by you before you arrived in Luoyang?"

"Well, it's not just them. I also used ice-cutting fishing to gain fame. That was planned a long time ago... Mr. Cai shouldn't be surprised, right?"

"You planned it?"

Cai Yong was surprised, but suddenly realized again.

Guo Peng smiled.

"Cai Gong, you should think that this is led by my father, not by me. I am just a participant, but in fact, I came up with the method, and then I asked my father to cooperate with me to do a full set of tricks. This is better. .”

Cai Yong was speechless.

However, he has gradually gained the ability to bear it, and gradually feels that these things Guo Peng did when he was a child are not strange.

This is what he should have as a legendary emperor. If he didn't have this ability, he would not be able to be such a legendary emperor.

"Then, the next step is your scheme after arriving in Luoyang? Zigan and I were all schemed by you at this time, right? You first used Mengde to get close to me, and then you used me to get close to Zigan. One ring..."

"Mr. Cai, this really can't be said to be a calculation, because I didn't know that my brother-in-law actually knew you and had a good relationship. It was he who brought it up on his own initiative, and at that time he wanted to contribute articles to you and get your approval." I’m not the only one who commented? Everyone is plotting against you?”

Guo Peng turned his head to look at Cai Yong with a smile, and said, "The self-promotion method that everyone is using is a common practice at that time. Since it is a common practice, it cannot be said to be a calculation. Everyone knows it well, and How do I know that Cao Mengde's recommendation will be really useful?"

"........."

Cai Yong was silent, after thinking about it, he felt that what Guo Peng said was also reasonable.

"Just saying that you are going to meet me, I started to hide myself, to hide my strong desire to get ahead, pretend to be a sincere gentleman, and do my best to meet your expectations by your side. In a year, I got Your trust, and then you will recommend a teacher for me."

Guo Peng paused for a moment, and then said: "However, how do I know that you will take me to see the teacher? At first, my goal was only you, not the teacher. This matter is a surprise to me, isn't it It's planned."

Cai Yong took a deep breath.

"What else is planned for you?"

"The time you and your clansman Cai Zhi were framed by Yang Qiu, I colluded with Guo Hong, my patriarch who was the Ting Wei at the time, and specially performed a scene at the gate of Ting Wei's mansion. Tyranny lost the hearts of the people, and finally had to let you go, and then I also gained great fame."

Cai Yong suddenly felt that his emotions were very complicated.

Obviously he was the one who was rescued, and he was indeed rescued, but he didn't expect that all this was a game set up by Guo Peng.

Although this is a win-win situation, after being explained by Guo Peng, the whole feeling is immediately wrong.

"I thought you came to save me out of emotion."

Cai Yong sighed slightly: "At that time, I heard that you were whipped, and my heart throbbed in pain. I cried so hard in the prison, but in the end... Then you sent me to Wuyuan, and you met a thief on the way. Could it be you who are responsible for the bandits?"

"Mr. Cai, although I am trying to gain fame, I also came up with this method to save you. It is good for you and me. And don't think that I am calculating, that I can do anything. That is indeed true. Yang Qiu did it, not me."

Guo Peng shook Cai Yong's hand: "I have indeed calculated many people and things, but I am not calculating all the time."

"Hehehe...Zifeng, after what you said just now, how can I believe that what you said is not a new scheme?"

"I calculated it before because I could gain benefits from this matter, but now I calculate you, what's the benefit?"

Guo Peng shook his head helplessly.

Cai Yong thought about it too, Guo Peng is already the supreme under heaven, why is there any need to plot against this old man like himself?

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed.

His status was different, and he was no longer worthy of being counted. What Guo Peng said now could only be the truth.

Seeing that Cai Yong stopped talking, Guo Peng smiled.

"Of course, I counted you. In fact, it is far more than what I said. In contrast, teacher, I really didn't count. I respect him very much. He is a respectable person. He taught It taught me a lot, and I have been using it to this day.”

"I'm not worthy of respect?"

Cai Yong was a little excited, he felt a little unbalanced.

"Of course you are worthy of respect, but Mr. Cai, your reputation is still relatively high, and you have lived longer, so you are more worthy of being tricked by me, aren't you?"

"I……"

Cai Yong suddenly felt that he was not very good at talking to Guo Peng who had removed his disguise.

"In the final analysis, it is better to use it than to calculate it. You have a great reputation and a good reputation. When I want to do a lot of things, as long as you are willing to cooperate and endorse me, I can do it freely. This is your greatest value to me."

Guo Peng is telling the truth.

Cai Yong also heard that Guo Peng was telling the truth.

"So that's the case, so many things you did, let me know, please understand, they are all using me, asking me to endorse you and bear the infamy?"

"If I lose, I will be infamous; if I win, I will be famous."

Guo Peng seriously corrected Cai Yong: "Now that I have won, the history books will only record that you know heroes with your eyesight. Every important historical node, you stand in the right place."

"Good name, good name, what a good name."

Cai Yong suddenly smiled sadly: "Zifeng, do you think I'm stupid? From the beginning to the end, I never thought about these political issues. I always think that you are sincere to me, yes There are no other considerations.

In the end, everything you do has your purpose, including me, for 40 years, Zifeng, for 40 years, you have only used me, maybe you are still laughing at me behind my back, right?You tell me don't you? "

Cai Yong lay on the bed, feeling cold and weak all over.

Faced with Cai Yong's question, Guo Peng thought about it seriously.

Then he gave an answer that he himself agreed with.

"People are not grass, how can they be ruthless? Mr. Cai, no matter how ruthless I am, no matter how cold I am, how can I be completely out of the idea of ​​taking advantage of someone who treats me sincerely and trusts me, without even a trace of emotion? Mr. Cai, you are now the highest official in Wei, the only Situ."

"Situ...hehehehe..."

Cai Yong laughed out loud, the sound was just like the sound of air leaking from an old bellows, very unpleasant.

"I don't care about Situ or not. For you, Guo Zifeng, everyone is just a plaything in your palm, right?"

"Not quite."

"Looks like most of them are."

Cai Yong turned his head to the side: "Zifeng, I finally understand why you can achieve such a great feat. You just did what I couldn't even imagine. You made the whole world dare not oppose you again. You...you are really omnipotent."

Cai Yong muttered for a while, then suddenly turned his head and stared at Guo Peng's profile.

"I have one last question, Zifeng, you have to be serious and answer me without hiding it."

Cai Yong held Guo Peng's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would refuse.

Guo Peng vaguely understood what Cai Yong wanted to ask, he lowered his head, looked at Cai Yong's withered hands, and let out a long sigh.

"it is good."

Cai Yong let go of his heart, and asked his question word by word.

"Since when did you decide to replace the Han Dynasty and proclaim yourself emperor?"

Guo Peng was silent for a while.

During the silence, Cai Yong's old servant came in to bring tea to Guo Peng, Cai Yong directly asked the old servant to go out and close the door, and no one was allowed to come in.

The old servant was very strange, but he still followed Cai Yong's request.

Once again only Guo Peng and Cai Yong were left in the room.

"This word, out of your mouth, into my ear, and then... will be brought into the coffin by me, and will never be known."

Cai Yong was very worried that he could not get the real answer, so he gave Guo Peng a promise.

Guo Peng turned his head to look at Cai Yong, and saw the nervousness on his face.

He decided.

"Four years in Zhongping."

Cai Yong was stunned.

"China... Zhongping for four years?"

"Yes, in the fourth year of Zhongping, the year when Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled, and the third year after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, when I was the captain of Hu Karasuma."

Cai Yong couldn't believe Guo Peng's answer at all.

"Four years in Zhongping? Zifeng, did you lie to me? That year you were... you were only two... 22 years old? You decided to replace the Han Dynasty? You are just a captain of Hu Karasuma, and you are going to replace Han room?"

Guo Peng nodded and smiled slightly.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Cai, I decided to overthrow the Han Dynasty and become emperor when I was 22 years old, and 15 years later, I succeeded."

Cai Yong was completely in shock.

A series of questions that he couldn't figure out or didn't dare to think about all had reasonable explanations, and all the questions that made him doubtful quickly passed his mind.

Due to the large number, his thinking was temporarily stagnant and unable to react normally.

Guo Peng will rebel and become emperor in the fourth year of Zhongping?

how come?

This is impossible.

Why is it?

"why?"

After finally recovering, Cai Yong hurriedly asked.

"Why... how should I put it, because I killed a person, a person who made me murderous for no reason. After killing him, I recognized my restless heart. It was telling me that I wanted to rebel , I want to be supreme in the world, I want to replace the Han Dynasty and become an emperor!"

"who?"

"When the teacher was running a school in his hometown, he accepted a student named Liu Bei, a relative of the Han family. He was a shabby householder. I don't think the teacher can remember his name. He came to join me at that time, and then I killed him with tricks. he."

"why?"

A whole new why.

"Cai Gong probably can't understand my thoughts, this person is a bit special."

Guo Peng shook his head, not intending to tell the real reason, because no one would believe the real reason.

Who would have believed that Liu Bei would become an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, who would develop from a team of hundreds of people to a separatist prince, and eventually become emperor.

Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei is the one with the worst foundation. He bears the name of the clan of the Han Dynasty. As a result, Sun Jian, whose father is a melon farmer, has become an official. He is still leading the fashion as a trendy man in his hometown.

But who would have known that this guy actually became one of the three people who had the last laugh.

Speaking of which, he is definitely one of the most strange men in Chinese history.

Seeing him learning himself and making rapid progress, Guo Peng was a little flustered and even a little jealous.

So he wanted to kill Liu Bei, and before Liu Bei could threaten him, he decisively killed him with tricks.

After killing Liu Bei, Guo Peng finally saw his true ambition—the rebellious ambition that had been rooted in his heart since he was six years old and gradually grew up.

So Guo Peng awakened and set himself the goal of fighting for world hegemony.

Fight for hegemony first, and then transform the world, so that the world is no longer so cold and ruthless, so that the world is less tragedies of cannibalism, and makes this world more suitable for human survival.

Cai Yong obviously couldn't accept Guo Peng's secretive answer.

"In the fourth year of Zhongping, you were 22 years old, and you were just a lieutenant of Hu Karasuma, but you told me that you were going to rebel and become emperor at that time?! Zifeng! I... Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"

Cai Yong was so excited and angry that he straightened his upper body, his face flushed, and he coughed violently.

Guo Peng hurriedly supported him, let him lean in his arms, and calmed down for him. After finally being relieved, he was ready to help him continue to lie down.

But Cai Yong stretched out his hand and grabbed Guo Peng's chest, gasped for a while, and took a breath back.

"I don't understand, Zifeng, I don't understand...why? Why did you rebel? I thought it was at least after you became the Duke..."
