"Why does Teacher hate the current Wei Emperor so much?"
Bai Feng knew what Yan Pu would say, but he still asked.
Yan Pu sneered.
"Lord Bai, are you joking?"
"Hate? I want nothing more than to skin Cao Cao alive, eat his flesh, and drink his blood! "
"Thief Cao is a traitor who usurped the Han. Everyone has the right to punish him!"
"Moreover, Thief Cao forced my lord to commit suicide. This grudge is absolutely irreconcilable. Why wouldn't I hate him?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"Oh?"
"Since we've reached this point, I would like to ask Teacher."
"Do you think that with Zhang Lu's ability, he can defend Hanzhong?"
"Or rather, do you think that Zhang Lu is capable of participating in the struggle for power in the Central Plains?"
"Look at that Liu Bei, look at that Sun Quan. Which one of them isn't an ambitious person who wants to divide the Great Han Dynasty?"
"Do you think that Zhang Lu has the ability to deal with them?"
Upon hearing Bai Feng's question, Yan Pu said disdainfully.
"At the very least, Milord cares about the common people and always thinks about them."
"Milord committed suicide in order to prevent the common people from being tortured."
"And what about Cao Cao? Cao Cao massacred the innocent people in Xuzhou. Could it be false? "
After saying that, Yan Pu became very agitated. He said in a low voice,
He said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, I'm not afraid of offending you."
"Since I'm going to die either way, I have to say these words!"
"We've all seen the decline of the Han Empire. The Han Empire is clearly on the verge of collapse. Let's not talk about supporting the Han Empire for the time being."
"How is Cao Cao any different from Dong Zhuo when it comes to such a tyrannical person?"
"I would like to ask Milord. Milord's actions in Hanzhong were clearly for the common people. Why do you follow Cao Cao?"
"Could it be that Your Excellency is unable to distinguish between right and wrong?"
"Or perhaps, His Excellency is only interested in Cao Cao and can give you a high official's salary?"
In fact, ever since he saw the rapid changes in Hanzhong, Yan Pu had always wanted to ask Bai Feng this question.
Why did Bai Feng follow Cao Cao?
What Bai Feng did in Hanzhong was for the sake of the people. Yan Pu could naturally see this.
Then, why would Bai Feng work under Cao Cao when it was clearly against Cao Cao's philosophy?
Moreover, he had helped Cao Cao conquer one place after another.
Most importantly, Bai Feng had been fighting the alien races all this time, protecting the safety of the people at the border.
Yan Pu had great respect for Bai Feng.
However, Yan Pu was extremely dissatisfied with Cao Cao.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"I think that Sir should be able to guess without me saying it."
"If I only wanted a high official's salary, why would I do so much in Hanzhong? Why would I risk my life time and time again to exterminate the alien races at the border? "
Yan Pu only listened, not saying a word.
In fact, Yan Pu also knew very well that Bai Feng was definitely not doing this for a high official's salary.
Given Bai Feng's talent, if he wanted to occupy Hanzhong and become enemies with Cao Cao, it was entirely possible for him to become independent.
If that was the case, Bai Feng was definitely more of a threat to Cao Cao than Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
Bai Feng continued.
"Do you know that when I gave the immortal grain to Wei Emperor, Wei Emperor's first thought was to use it to solve the famine and solve the problem of starving people?"
"Do you know that when Wei Emperor went south, he heard that I wanted to exterminate the alien races and specially wanted to give me troops?"
"Do you know that King Wei's expedition to the south is to unite the world that has been divided for a long time and then create a new golden age?"
"Everyone makes mistakes. Whether the disaster in Xuzhou was caused by Cao Cao or that Tao Qian, it goes without saying."
"If your parents were harmed, would you be angry?"
"If that person was protected by a group of people and resisted you regardless of the cost, would you take action?"
"Wei Emperor did go too far in the Xuzhou incident, but is that all you can see?"
"You should have heard of the state of the Wei Dynasty."
"What about a year ago, or two years ago?"
"If the world continues to be divided like this, it will only be destroyed by the united alien races in the future!"
"Since ancient times, why have we, the Han people, been able to dominate the Central Plains, and why have we been unable to defeat the alien races?"
"It is because we, the people of China, are born with a strong will!"
"We will not admit defeat, we will unite, and we will not yield an inch of land!"
"Sir, think carefully. Did I invite you here for Wei Emperor or for the people of Hanzhong?"
After saying that, Bai Feng drank the tea in the cup and said in a low voice,
"I will give you three days to think about it."
"After three days, I will definitely pay you a visit again."
"But don't worry, even if you refuse, I will not force you."
"However, for the sake of Hanzhong, I hope you will consider it carefully."
With that, Bai Feng turned and left.
Jiang Wei and Li Cunxiao followed closely behind. Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and the others did not dare to stop Bai Feng until he was far away.
"What is this Bai Feng trying to do?"
Yang Ren was a little puzzled.
"Sir Yan, why does he want you to be the County Deputy?"
"Isn't he afraid that we will take back Hanzhong while he is away?"
Yan Pu sighed and shook his head.
"Why should he be afraid?"
"Do you really think that even if we return to Hanzhong, we will be able to take it back from Cao Cao?"
"Let's not talk about Bai Feng first. Will Cao Cao be willing?"
"What's more, the people in Hanzhong support Bai Feng. If we were to snatch her away, would the two of you be able to withstand the attacks of the people?"
Hearing Yan Pu's words, Yang Ren and Yang Ang looked at each other.
If that was the case, then there was indeed no chance.
Just the common people alone would never agree, let alone the Great Wei's army.
"Then Sir Yan is thinking of …"
Yang Ang hesitated for a moment and asked.
Yan Pu only shook his head and did not answer him.
In fact, Yan Pu was now caught in a dilemma.
He did not expect that Bai Feng came this time to ask him to be the County Deputy.
He was also shocked by Bai Feng's words.
He knew very well that Zhang Lu was not qualified to be a lord other than empathizing with the people.
At the very least, he did not have the capital to compete with the other lords.
Hanzhong was not a place that the military must fight for. Otherwise, Hanzhong would have been taken away by others.
As for how to decide, Yan Pu had not thought about it yet.
In fact, Yan Pu was not willing to spend the rest of his life in the wilderness and do nothing.
Now that the opportunity had come, Yan Pu hesitated.
Perhaps Cao Cao was not as bad as he thought?
