The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 281 Preparation before the war

"cheers!!!"

In the Hongmen BBQ restaurant, everyone clinked their glasses together, and a cheerful atmosphere filled the entire restaurant.

"This cup is for Fang Mu and Xiu. If it weren't for you two, we might have been killed by Sun Jian!"

Cao Cao stood up first and raised the cup in his hand to Fang Mu and Xiu respectively, with a grateful smile on his face. Since he learned that Fang Mu and Xiu were not from their time and space, Cao Cao also figured it out. In the end, Fang Mu and Xiu must leave the Silver Time and Space.

No matter what, the two of them would definitely not become an obstacle to his domination of the world, so Cao Cao decided to let it go. It is better to have two more friends than more enemies.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Fang Mu and Xiu also raised their glasses and nodded to Cao Cao.

After a round of pleasantries, everyone gradually relaxed their tempers. Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong took turns challenging Lu Bu to a drinking contest, while Han Sui, Li Jue, Jiang Wei and others also joined in the fun.

"Diao Chan, why isn't Xiao Qiao here?"

Guan Yu looked at the harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table and raised a smile. Compared with fighting and killing, he still preferred the harmonious atmosphere among his brothers. However, when Diao Chan put some food into Guan Yu's bowl, Guan Yu noticed that the seat next to Diao Chan was empty, so he asked her about Xiao Qiao's whereabouts.

"Xiao Qiao returned to Jiangdong after the last incident! But don't worry, she said before she left that she didn't leave because she was afraid of suspicion. She returned to Jiangdong to find a friend and to investigate the true reason why Ah Xiang and Sun Ce became demons, to see if there was any way to restore Ah Xiang and Sun Ce to their original state!"

Guan Yu nodded. He believed that Xiao Qiao was a girl with her own opinions, so he stopped asking questions and told Diao Chan about the battle with Sun Jian. Diao Chan exclaimed in surprise as she listened to Guan Yu's explanation.

……

"Xiao Qiao, why did you return to Jiangdong?"

Cai Yan (Qiu Qiu's clone in the Silver Time and Space) looked at Xiao Qiao who appeared at her door carrying a lot of bags, and rushed over in surprise, hugging Xiao Qiao and jumping around.

"Okay, Wenji (Cai Yan's courtesy name), I came back this time because I need your help with something very important!"

After a burst of cheers, Xiao Qiao calmed down and then spoke to Cai Yan in a serious tone.

"Is it important?"

"Very important!"

“Is it really important?”

“It’s really important!”

"Is it really really really—important?"

"Oh, don't ask anymore. It's really important. I'm telling you, this is a matter of great importance to the world. You must help me!"

……

"Brothers, we've already broken off relations with Sun Jian and know his true colors, so now's a great time to conquer Jiangdong. Once Sun Jian recovers, he'll surely launch a counterattack and rally all the troops in Jiangdong to revolt. For the sake of peace and stability for all, please contribute your efforts and join me in stabilizing the world!"

In the living room of the Cao family, a sand table with a map of the Han Dynasty was placed in front of everyone, and Cao Cao stood next to the sand table and gave a passionate speech to everyone.

"Now, I have been appreciated by Emperor Xian and have the honor of becoming the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I must share the worries of the Han Dynasty. If Sun Jian is not eliminated, he will always be a disaster!"

"The president is right. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative!"

Zhang Fei on the side also echoed, and Ma Chao beside him was even more indignant. These two funny guys really wanted to avenge what happened last time!

"Brother, Fang Mu, what do you think?"

Guan Yu looked at Xiuhe Fangmu who were standing beside the sand table in deep thought.

"Ah? Well... I... uh... I think it's all fine. After all, I can't interfere too much in the affairs of your Silver Dimension. And I also have to tell the leader of our Iron Dimension that Sun Jian is a demonized psychic who escaped from the Iron Dimension to the Silver Dimension. But don't worry, I will definitely take action to defeat Sun Jian when the time comes!"

"Brother, do you want to go back?"

Zhang Fei immediately understood what Xiu meant. As the first of the Five Tiger Generals to know Xiu's identity, he understood what Xiu meant best.

"Yes, such a big thing has happened. I must go back and let the leader make a decision, otherwise the Silver Time and Space will most likely lose the battle between good and evil!"

Xiu nodded without denying it, and when Zhang Fei heard it, he suddenly felt a little lost. Looking at his somewhat resentful expression, Guan Yu couldn't help but comfort him.

"Alright, Third Brother, I'm just going back to my own time and space. It's not like I won't be back. You're a man, so stop being so fussy, okay?"

"But I really can't bear to leave my big brother!"

Zhang Fei showed a shy expression and then buried his face in Guan Yu's shoulder.

"Don't do this, it's very feminine!"

Suddenly the room was filled with the brothers' cheerful laughter.

"Brother Fang, what do you think?"

Cao Cao looked at Fang Mu, who was frowning and thinking.

"Sun Jian must fight, but I think it has to be a big fight!"

Fang Mu pointed his finger at Yellow Turban High School.

"From what I know, both Dong Zhuo of Hedong University and Sun Jian of Jiangdong University are secretly connected to Zhang Jue, the principal of Golden University. I find it hard not to believe that Sun Jian would unite with the Yellow Turban University in a rebellion before his death. So, whether we attack one or both is the same, it's better to wipe out both schools at once to prevent them from causing trouble in the future!"

Fang Mu's words were shocking, but they made Cao Cao fall into deep thought.

"Brother Fang's intentions are certainly good, but can we really deal with Sun Jian and Zhang Jue at the same time? Putting aside Sun Jian's martial arts prowess, Zhang Jue is known as the world's number one martial artist. To this day, no one knows the true depth of his martial arts training, but at least martial artists all over the world are following in his footsteps!"

"It's okay. Just focus on dealing with Sun Jian. Leave the Yellow Turban University to us at Xiliang University. Don't forget, we still have Master Zuo Ci at Xiliang University. Even if we can't defeat Zhang Jiao, he can't do anything to us!"

When Cao Cao heard Fang Mu mention Zuo Ci, he felt much more at ease. As a martial arts master who was also famous throughout the world, perhaps Zuo Ci could really compete with Zhang Jue.

"Alright, then, let's make preparations early. Brother Liu... uh... Xiu, you should proceed according to your plan. I'll leave a trusted confidant with the Cao family, and you can go directly to him when you return! Brother Fang, please hurry back to Xiliang and gather the troops. When we launch our attack on Jiangdong, please help block the Yellow Turban University!"
