Chapter 313 – The Gathering of Ten Warlords – Part Three

"Our pasts may have caused us a couple of misunderstanding. We're here to repel the Xiongnu barbarian tribes. Let's focus on the crisis at hand and unite as one."
All minor lords admired how mature Cao Cao was. They nodded and spoke in approval to change the subject.
"Lord Zhang, let's forget about our pasts and focus on the Xiongnu. Didn't you invite us here to fight them together?"
"Yes. Let's bygone be bygone. All of us here dipped our hands in the dirty water here and there, including you. Let's not throw dirty water at each other and cooperate."
"Indeed. Lord Zhang, Lord Yuan, let's not fight each other here and look at the big picture. If we don't drive the Xiongnu away from our land now, our 400 years dynasty will end in our generation."
