Chapter 150 It's Zhou Heng again.
Mr. Cao's face turned green.
It's one thing if it happens once or twice, but every time I end up taking the blame.
I haven't done anything all this time, and I've been blamed for everything.
Taking the blame is one thing.
Now, the situation is more than just making myself take the blame.
That's the kind of thing that's designed to make Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fight to the death.
You're digging your own grave.
He was already locked in a life-or-death struggle with Yuan Shu here.
And then you created another Yuan Shao?
If the two of them were to join forces, they would be attacked from both sides, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
What could possibly cause such deep-seated hatred?
How could you betray me, Cao Cao, like this?
I, Cao Cao, have always been kind to others, and I know the wives of all the warlords in the land like the back of my hand.
She is known as a friend of married women.
Yet such a kind person was so cruelly betrayed.
This is truly intolerable.
"Who else could it be but Zhou Heng?"
Guo Jia said speechlessly.
If he hadn't guessed Zhou Heng's identity, he might have had some doubts as well.
However, the incident in Jizhou had already been attributed to Zhou Heng.
Then everything seems so reasonable.
Only he would so desperately want Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to fight each other.
Only he could persuade Zhang Yan to raise an army.
Similarly, only he could shift all the blame onto Cao Cao.
They reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
To reiterate, if Cao Cao hadn't fought with Yuan Shao...
How did Zhou Heng manage to escape unscathed? How did he manage to reap the benefits of others' misfortune?
Therefore, Zhou Heng is the only person in the entire world who is qualified to do this, and most likely to do it.
As for... isn't Zhou Heng afraid of messing things up and Yuan Shao finding out the truth?
Of course, I'm not afraid.
Because Zhou Heng is not yet worthy of Yuan Shao's attention.
His status naturally caused the feudal lords of the world to automatically ignore him.
In Yuan Shao's mind, Zhou Heng was never considered an opponent.
He was just a small-time bandit.
She's not even as good as Zhang Yan.
How could such a stunning scheme be orchestrated?
At the same time, it allows all the feudal lords in the land to participate.
The only one qualified was Cao Cao.
In addition, Cao Cao had paid a considerable price to stop his attack on Yan Province.
This is tantamount to admitting that Cao Cao killed his son.
Isn't it reasonable to do this?
This is like mud falling into your pants; even if it's not poop, it's still poop.
Yuan Shao would naturally blame Cao Cao for this.
After all, it's the whole world.
Given Yuan Shu's current predicament of being surrounded by enemies, in his view, the only one qualified to do this, the only one qualified to be his opponent, is Cao Cao.
Whether he likes it or not, he will think in this direction.
It wasn't just Yuan Shao; all the warlords in the land were thinking in this direction.
Cao Cao was the most powerful warlord in the land, second only to the Yuan brothers.
They still hold the emperor in their hands.
In terms of qualifications, objectives, and methods, only Cao Cao had the right to do so.
"What? You're saying that the matter of Zhen Jiahe killing Yuan Shao's son was something Zixiu pinned on me for?"
"Is Zhang Yan's 100,000-strong army attacking Ye City also orchestrated by Zixiu?"
Cao Cao's eyes widened.
A million grass mud horses galloped through my mind.
I only gave you thirty strokes of the military rod.
You're holding a grudge too much; you're digging your own grave.
If only I had known the outcome today.
Even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't get thirty strokes of the cane.
That's too high a price to pay.
Cao Cao was numb.
"Who else could it be but him?"
Guo Jia shrugged and said helplessly.
"The current situation in the world is unpredictable, and all the major lords are busy with their own affairs."
"Who has the leisure to stir up trouble across the land?"
"That only applies to Zhou Heng."
“I have said before that if we put all the things that happened in Jizhou on Zhou Heng, then everything makes perfect sense.”
"In that case, why don't we make a bold calculation?"
“Zhou Heng, under our name, attacked Yuan Shao’s son and stole Yuan Shao’s money bag.”
"However, because we paid a considerable price, we did not engage in armed conflict with Yuan Shao."
"In this way, Zhou Heng's idea of reaping the benefits and making a clean getaway has been thwarted."
"At this time, who do you think most wants us to fight Yuan Shao?"
Guo Jia countered with a question.
"That must be Zhou Heng."
All the civil and military officials spoke in unison.
“That’s right. If we don’t fight Yuan Shao, he won’t be able to escape unscathed.”
"It is even less likely that they would sit back and reap the benefits, and profit from it."
"Therefore, under these circumstances, the only one who most wants us to fight Yuan Shao, and who is also the most likely to make us fight Yuan Shao, is Zhou Heng."
Guo Jia said calmly.
"But didn't you say that Zhang Yan was also used by him? How could she possibly help him?"
"Not to mention... Zhang Yan led an army of 100,000 to attack Yuan Shao. Could it be that he has already defected to Zhou Heng?"
"In that case, we will have to reassess Zhou Heng."
Everyone gasped in shock.
In fact, they had already guessed that Zhou Heng was the most likely person to accomplish this at this time.
But they didn't want to think that way.
The main reason is still because of Zhang Yan?
Zhang Yan had already been tricked and suffered terribly by Zhou Heng.
We can't possibly be tricked by the other side again and have to mobilize the entire nation's army to attack Yuan Shao, can we?
Isn't that stupid?
So even though they had already guessed it was Zhou Heng, they still didn't want to think that way.
But now that they heard Guo Jia's definite words, they were clearly 90% certain that Zhou Heng was behind it. How could this not shock them?
If that's the case, then there's only one possibility.
Zhang Yan has completely sided with Zhou Heng.
Only in this way will the other party support Zhou Heng at all costs.
They even mobilized the entire nation's army to help Zhou Heng divert the disaster eastward, so that he could escape unscathed.
Therefore, Zhou Heng's status in their hearts needs to be reassessed.
"To side with Zhou Heng? I doubt it."
To everyone's surprise, Guo Jia shook his head.
What does Fengxiao mean by this?
Cao Cao was also somewhat puzzled.
You've mobilized the entire nation's army; help Zhou Heng escape unscathed.
How could he draw Yuan Shao's attention to him and himself, making him believe that he had allied with Zhang Yan?
Haven't they already sided with Zhou Heng?
It's impossible to say that Zhang Yan is really that stupid, right?
They've been manipulated by Zhou Heng time and time again.
Even knowing that there is a huge pit ahead, they still want to take their entire empire into it.
"From other people's perspectives, it is undoubtedly the most likely scenario that Zhang Yan would side with Zhou Heng."
"But from Zhang Yan's perspective, is it possible that Zhang Yan did not side with Zhou Heng, but had no choice but to do so?"
