Cao Cao was favored by Guo Jia, now wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, if it weren't for a continuous heavy snowfall, or the war in Huainan would be everywhere, the consequences of accepting the effectiveness of Yi Ren were indeed very serious, and it was even far more serious than Cao Cao expected.

Cao Cao did not expect that the strange forces in Jingnan would react so much that they actually sent edicts everywhere, saying that Cao Cao, a descendant of the eunuch, wanted to use the power of foreign tribes to rebel and call on the princes of the world to fight against them.

Originally, this manifesto was a joke from Yi Ren, but it was endorsed by the emperor of Jinyang. Fortunately, the emperor of Chang'an supported Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao, who had always claimed to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, sweat severely.

Then, the news from Yiren became worse and worse. Yiren forces, who originally liked to follow Cao Cao to fight everywhere, retreated from Huainan and Qiao County. Of course, many new Yiren joined in, but in general, the more they walked, the fewer they came, which made Cao Cao feel frightened.

If this situation becomes a long-term norm, then Cao Cao's support rate among the Yi Ren will undoubtedly continue to decline. Will there be no supporters in the end? If that is true, Cao Cao will be in great trouble. Cao Cao is well aware of the power of the Yi Ren.

Cao Cao's panic naturally alarmed Xi Zhicai who was far away in Qiao County, so Xi Zhicai arrived in Shouchun from afar. Fortunately, the heavy snow stopped everything and also bought Cao Cao time to respond.

"Lord, this matter is done..."

"Hey, I know that this is inappropriate. I originally wanted to weigh the pros and cons and outweigh the disadvantages, so..."

"My lord, no matter how you look at it, it is all more harmful than good. Especially in the long run, for the lord, territory, population, and strength are of course very important, but the most important thing is righteousness and fame! The Central Plains are different from the border areas, and are not purely focused on strength. The domineering will eventually be like Dong Zhuo. In the Central Plains, you must practice the kingly way. If you occupy the righteousness in everything, the lord will win and be supplemented with powerful military power. The government orders that can be widely accepted by the people and gentry can ultimately make the lord invincible place and then conquer the world. Now, for the sake of immediate interests, it is a difficult reputation to be won, which is definitely not worth the loss!"

Cao Cao pulled his beard awkwardly, his face flushed, and he felt very angry. However, Cao Cao knew that Xi Zhicai was completely correct. He was blinded by lard and made this idiot decision and should scold him!

"It's good to scold, it's good to scold! It's all my unscrupulous head who made such a decision. It's too stupid. It's too stupid!"

"The lord doesn't need to be like this. No one is perfect, so no one will not make mistakes. The key is to be able to learn from it and try every means to make up for or even change the current passive situation."

Xi Zhicai took a deep breath. His frown gradually spread out. Cao Cao nodded and looked at Xi Zhicai with some anxiety and expectation in his eyes.

"So, how can we save the situation now!?"

Xi Zhicai thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Issue a statement. Announce these alien forces as thieves and expel them from the country. If you are unwilling to leave the country, attack them!"

"This...this!" Cao Cao was shocked. Is this the way to cook the bridge after the back? It was too fast!

"I have to do so. Although it has a negative impact on the reputation of the lord in the short term, in the long run, it will definitely be able to gradually fade this matter. On the contrary, if we continue to cooperate with these so-called foreign alien forces, we will eventually gradually reach the opposite of most alien forces, and even the lord's reputation always has the saying of cooperation with foreigners. Although the foreigners of the lord have nothing to do with us, although the lord itself can also be said to be foreigners, this statement must not be said, otherwise it would be the consequences of the thousands of people. Would the lord be scolded for a while or be scolded for a lifetime?"

Xi Zhicai's stern analysis made Cao Cao understand the current situation. Yes, he is now taking the minority of two evils, rather than trying to make bad things and make good things, or it can be done slowly in the future. But now the limelight is in the limelight, how can he have such unrealistic fantasy? Now he wants to cut his flesh to cure the sores! Can you be afraid of pain? Even if you are afraid, you have to cut it, otherwise you will die!

Cao Cao frowned and thought in a tangled way. He was scolded for a moment, scolded for being treasonable, scolded for a lifetime, scolded for being scolded for the forgetfulness of the Sect. These two choices are simply incomparable!

"What Zhicai said is very much, then......... Issuing a statement, but we can't do anything wrong with the players in advance..."

Xi Zhicai raised his brows and opened his mouth to refute, but when he saw the expression on Cao Cao's face, he finally closed his mouth. Cao Cao was right. If he did things out, would this group of people learn from the lesson and secretly support his opponent? Instead of doing this, it would be better to continue to hang these people. On the surface, it is actually a kind of protection for them, so that they can hide deeper, and even change their tricks and come back.

Xi Zhicai didn't notice at all that his thoughts had become completely utilitarian at this moment. Cao Cao was a utilitarian at the root, and Xi Zhicai was unfortunately infected. Once people fall into the abyss of utilitarianism, they may never be able to climb up again!

"Boyang, what's going on now?"

During this period, Zhang Zhiyuan focused more on fighting snow disasters. Relatively speaking, the snow disasters in Guiyang and Lingling counties where the Tianxia Club are located are much lighter, but these two areas are already backward and the road conditions are not good. In addition, there is no experience in preventing snow disasters and no mental preparations, so losses are inevitable.

Fortunately, the changes in the weather have little impact on Yiren, but Yiren has a strong ability to resist disasters. Without anything else, the role of wrapping such a magical tool can play is extremely huge. In addition, the proportion of the indigenous people is low, so the loss of life is very small. The main reason is the losses of crops and houses. Fortunately, this loss can be compensated with money and food, so it is not a big loss.

Zhang Zhiyuan, who was busy with disaster relief, handed over all external affairs to Zhao Boyang. Now that the disaster resistance is on track, Zhang Zhiyuan finally has time to carefully consider external affairs.

Zhao Boyang patted the railing with a thin layer of snowflakes. He frowned and said, "Cao Cao issued a statement today. He said that he did not know the details of these players at that time. Now that he already knows, he declares these alien forces as rebels and expels them all from his own jurisdiction. At the same time, he also submitted a complaint to the court. This heavy snow has delayed our affairs!"

Zhang Zhiyuan frowned tightly. This was strange. It was not difficult for Cao Cao to respond. When the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, it was understandable that Cao Cao had a temporary reputation for sacrifice, but could save his image.

What is difficult to understand is what the Intelligent Brain is thinking? Why is it suddenly snowing at this critical moment, disrupting the pace of development of everything? If the Intelligent Brain’s goal is these unpredictable alien forces, then it should not hinder the military action to siege Cao Cao.

On the contrary, if the Intelligent Brain supports Cao Cao or foreign alien forces, the final result may be to accelerate the process of game unification. Does the Intelligent Brain hope that the game world will be unified as soon as possible?

The more Zhang Zhiyuan thought about it, the more confused he became. He thought it was like a big deal, but he had no specific experience. How could the mind of the intelligent brain be so easy to see through? Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yes, it's really... elusive!"

"Did Zhiyuan say Cao Cao? Or the intelligent brain?"

"Cao Cao's thoughts are not difficult to figure out. His worst idea is nothing more than trying to drive those people out of the front door, then wait for the limelight to pass, and then put those people in through the back door. This method is not new at all, and it is not easy to deceive people. But it is not easy for us to seize his handle."

"Does this need a handle? Just create hatred with Cao Cao directly. It is best to ignite the conflict between Cao Cao and Liu Bei and Sun Jian around me. The question that puzzles me the most is what the intelligent brain is thinking? Why should we stop us from dealing with Cao Cao?"

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at the white mountain in the distance and smiled and said, "Who can be sure that the intelligence brain is stopping us? Maybe it just wants to suspend it, or it is stopping everyone, otherwise why there will be such a large-scale snowfall? You must know that this extreme weather is often just the beginning. According to our understanding of meteorology, continuous heavy snow represents a severe drought in the coming year. At that time, we will be too busy to fight against drought and disaster relief. Let's fight? Haha..."

Zhao Boyang's eyes lit up: "You mean, the actual purpose of the intelligent brain is to reduce the intensity of the war?"

"The way of civil and military affairs is to be tense and relaxed. The war has been fighting for four consecutive years. Shouldn't it be stopped? If a war is maintained in a highly tense state of war for a long time, people's hearts will slowly be distorted, not to mention that the indigenous people are under greater pressure than us. Of course, this is just my guess."

Zhao Boyang said thoughtfully: "I understand a little bit that the intelligent brain is not stopping anyone, but increasing the cost of war and increasing the consumption of non-human resources. In fact, it is still possible to fight if it really needs to be fought. You see, Qingzhou has just ended a huge war. So, increasing costs and increasing consumption is the method of the intelligent brain. The purpose is to greatly increase the cost of external intervention in the world. At the same time, it greatly enhances the attraction for players who rely on the survival of this world and cultivates more firm supporters. This is in line with the interests of the intelligent brain!"

Zhang Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully: "Maybe, look, what a beautiful world this is. No matter what, I always feel that this world is worth our efforts to maintain. No matter what the intelligent brain thinks, I always hope that this world can last forever. In the future, my children and my descendants can have a different world."

"Haha, maybe there will be more!"

"That's not bad!"
