Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

"Um……"

The rest of the people also nodded slightly in a calm and calm manner, as if they were supercilious and arrogant.

"That would be the best."

Cao Pi went on to say, "At noon on the eighth day of the lunar new year, I will go to Yongqiu to take over the Huren army. The leader of the Tuan army, Wu Liang, is a descendant of the Jitong. He always takes the lead in every situation, and I also heard that his subordinates also win over the army. I have met some strange people, and these strange people also have their own abilities. If they have different intentions, it is okay to say that swords and soldiers are facing each other. I am afraid that they will use those invisible and intangible magic arts. The fairy master made a timely move."

"It's natural, Second Young Master, just don't worry, a few strange people in the district can't catch our eyes."

Several people nodded without changing expressions.

"However, inviting you to go together this time is just a precautionary measure. As far as I know, Wu Liang, the leader of the Tuan Army, is currently traveling abroad. Most of the strange people and strangers also went to other places with him. I'm afraid they will return soon. Not coming……"

Cao Pi said again.

As a result, the words were only halfway through when a "report" came from outside the door!
"Hold on, all immortal masters, I'll go out and have a look first."

Cao Pi smiled at those people, then got up and walked out the door.

Although those people were immortal masters recruited by Boss Cao with a lot of money, they were still outsiders, so Cao Pi would avoid them as much as possible in some military and political matters.

When he came to the door like this, he saw a guard of the Cao family waiting eagerly.

"what's up?"

Cao Pi asked.

The personal guard hurriedly leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "Second Young Master, just now there is news from the defenders at the south gate that Wu Taishi has entered the city."

"What did you say?"

Cao Pi frowned suddenly.

"Wu Taishi has just entered the city."

The guard repeated it again.

"Why did you come back suddenly at this time?"

Cao Pi frowned even tighter.

He thought of Wu Liang's identity as the descendant of the ghost boy, and he didn't come back sooner or later, but he came back at this time. God knows if Wu Liang had already sensed the danger of the army, and came back suddenly just to rescue him.

To be honest, Cao Pi was somewhat afraid of Wu Liang.

After all, he had heard about Wu Liang's deeds from Cao Ang and Cao Ting more than once before this. These two elder brothers both respected and admired Wu Liang. It can be seen that Wu Liang must have extraordinary abilities, and he is definitely not like him. It looks so simple and easy-going on weekdays.

Now that he was going to forcibly take over the Liren army in front of Wu Liang, Cao Pi couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

What if Wu Liang doesn't cooperate?

What if Wu Liang resorted to some unexpected means?
Cao Pi knew in his heart that the reason why Boss Cao entrusted him with taking over the Liren Army was actually because Wu Liang was not in Chenliu recently.

If he was there, Boss Cao would definitely handle this matter in person. After all, with Cao Pi's age, status and experience, whether he can hold Wu Liang down is another matter.

"So what should we do next?"

Cao Pi pondered, "Continue to go to Yongqiu to take over the Huan army at noon on the eighth day as planned?"

"I'm afraid it's not right. Now that Wu Liang has returned, the person I want to touch him should go to the door to say hello first, so as to find out what he's saying... After all, he is still my brother-in-law, the son-in-law of our Cao family , if he knows that this is what father means, he should also make concessions."

"But what if he doesn't have enough oil and rice?"

"This is the first task my father entrusted to me. I have already lost face when I went to the Huren army garrison in the name of supervision and was rejected. I just don't know how my father thinks of me... If I still do everything this time If it doesn't work, my father will definitely be more disappointed with me, and I'm afraid he won't use me again in the future."

"How about...the ceremony first and then the soldiers?"

Cao Pi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an idea that he thought was good emerged.

What he thought of "before the soldiers" was naturally not to lead troops to attack by force. Boss Cao did not give him such authorization at all, and even Cao Chun, the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry who stayed in Chenliu to accompany him to handle this matter, would not agree. After all, now The battle on the front line is imminent, and even a little bit of chaos in the rear will affect the morale of the army, even if it is a small-scale civil strife.

His "soldiers" are actually those immortal masters sitting in the room.

"If Wu Liang knows that I have some capable men and strangers in my hands, and these capable men and strangers are superior to him and the Huan army, and the situation is stronger than others, even if he is unwilling, he may have to make a compromise. .”

Cao Pi thought to himself, and immediately said to his guards, "Use Fei Nu to report this matter to my father first, and then bring your son and uncle to discuss countermeasures with me."

"promise!"

The guard responded and hurried to do it.

Then Cao Pi pushed open the door behind him, stepped into it, looked at the people in the room, and said with a smile: "Several immortal masters, the time has come for you to perform, and it is also a good time to teach me to see your skills with my own eyes. "

……

When Wu Liang and others arrived in the city, they saw a group of people rushing towards them in a hurry.

These people were none other than the guards of the Wu residence headed by Chen Jinshui.

"Master, you guys are back, I miss you so much!"

Chen Jinshui ignored the gazes of passers-by, and shouted loudly from afar.

"How do you know I'm back, and I'm still here to welcome you? Could it be that you still have an eyeliner in the guards of the city gate?"

Wu Liang asked with a smile.

"I don't have that ability. Master Zuo figured it out. He asked you to burn two hairs with talisman paper, and then he calculated that you had entered the south gate. After hearing this, I hurried out to greet you, and I did. .”

Chen Jinshui replied out of breath.

"Master Zuo?"

Wu Liang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, "You're talking about Zuo Ci, right?"

"Exactly! I was still a bit skeptical just now, but now that I see you, I know that Immortal Master Zuo is a real teacher. No wonder you want me to treat him with courtesy."

Chen Jinshui nodded repeatedly.

"Ah."

Wu Liang smiled, and said again, "What happened to the Huan army recently?"

"This……"

Hearing this question, Chen Jinshui's tone froze suddenly, and he didn't know how to say it for a moment.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why I came back at this time is precisely because I have figured out a rough idea."

Wu Liang said.

"As expected of a son!"

Chen Jinshui immediately sighed and said helplessly, "It is said that because of the tense battle on the front line, Duke Ming sent the second son of the Cao family to take over the Huan army and rush to the front line. The guards are no exception, today we are packing things... By the way, anyone who is on the list of the Huren army must be recruited, including Dian Wei and Yang Wanli. The young master can't say anything, but now that the young master and others are back, I'm afraid they will have to count."

"The war is tight..."

Wu Liang sneered.

It's a good reason. It is true that Boss Cao was very passive in the early stage of the Battle of Guandu. There were obvious gaps in terms of military strength, food, military supplies, and financial resources, so that many generals in the Cao camp were not optimistic about Boss Cao. Contact Yuan Shao in private, ready to rebel at any time.

But even so, Boss Cao will definitely not lack the two hundred or so troops of the Huan Army.

This is also the reason why Wu Liang made it clear to Boss Cao that the Huan army would never expand its army. With fewer Huan soldiers, Boss Cao would not always think of reaching out.

As a result, all precautions were taken, and this day still came.

So what is Boss Cao's purpose?

Wu Liang had already calculated it through the Dayan Divination method before, and the Tuan Army had experienced this change, and there would be no more survivors in half a month at most... That's why Wu Liang said that this was the disaster of the Tuan Army.

It is not difficult to see that it is true that Boss Cao transferred the Huan army to the front line, but it is true that he wanted to kill the Huan army.

As for the reason, it is not difficult for Wu Liang to guess. It must be related to what the Huanren Army did. Those are all shady things. Once it is spread, it is very likely to cause a devastating blow to Boss Cao, who has a bad reputation. .

Wu Liang had been prepared for this for a long time, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon... Originally, he thought that Boss Cao would end at the Battle of Guandu at the earliest, and he would consider this matter after he had gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains.

It's just that he doesn't know if he is within the scope of Boss Cao's silence.

From the current point of view, he should not be there, otherwise, how could Boss Cao insist on marrying Cao Ni to him a few months ago, which obviously means to take him as one of his own.

While talking.

"Wu Taichang! After several months, Wu Taichang is finally back! Wu Taichang didn't send a letter back in advance, so the next official should make preparations in advance to clean up Wu Taichang's dust."

An angry voice sounded, the person who came was none other than Cheng Yu, the prefect of Chenliu.

Speaking of the fact that after Chenliu was temporarily designated as the capital, although Cheng Yu was still the prefect, he was actually promoted three ranks in an instant.

"What is Wu Taichang? I'm just a Taishi Ling. Maybe Cheng Taishou is wrong?"

Wu Liang saluted and asked with some doubts.

"Although the old man is over sixty years old, it is not enough to mistake his official position."

While talking, Cheng Yu had already picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the tray held by the servant behind him, and handed it over with a smile, "I'd better invite Taichang Wu to read it in person."

"..."

Wu Liang opened the volume of bamboo slips, only to see that there were only twenty or thirty characters in the bamboo slips, and his official position was promoted to a higher level, becoming Tai Chang, the head of the Nine Ministers, and he was on his way to the top. important minister in the court.

At the same time, Cheng Yu handed another heavy item to Wu Liang at the right time, and said with a smile on his face, "Wu Taichang, this is the Taichang seal issued by His Majesty, please take it away."

Silver seal with green ribbon.

It is indeed more famous than the black ribbon of the bronze seal held by his Taishi Ling.

but……

"Thank you, Governor Process."

But Wu Liang looked at Cheng Yu again, grinned and said, "The prefect Cheng is waiting for me, right? Otherwise, I have just entered the city and I haven't even entered the house yet, so how could the prefect Cheng come so timely?" , Even His Majesty's appointment edict and seal are ready, I am really moved by Cheng Taishou's empathy and righteousness."

"Hahaha, it's just a coincidence."

Cheng Yu could not change his face, he laughed dryly and started a fight with Wu Liang.

"Old Cheng, let's be smart and never speak dark words."

Wu Liang stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Yu's shoulders, pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "You sent the appointment edict and seal ribbon at the first time, was it your own intention or that of Duke Ming?"

"This... has it all."

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Thank you."

Wu Liang smiled frankly.

"A talented and virtuous brother..."

Cheng Yu also rarely called Wu Liang a good brother, then sighed meaningfully and said, "You are still young, and you still have a boundless future, don't use your emotions to kill yourself."

"Thank you, Prefect Cheng, for your guidance, I will keep it in my heart."

Wu Liang waved his hand, then led the Huan army and left without looking back.

……

When Wu Liang returned to the Wu Mansion, the Wu Mansion was in a state of chaos.

The little beauties were busy drying the quilts, preparing hot water for bathing, and preparing sumptuous delicacies... It was only because Wu Liang came back so suddenly that they were caught off guard.

Wu Liang was not polite to them either, and immediately went to take a comfortable bath when he got home, changed into dry clothes, and then went to see Zuo Ci: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Zuo is now in this skin It’s quite eye-catching.”

"No matter how seductive it is, it's still a skin, and it will break one day."

Zuo Ci smiled and said, "It seems that General Wu's place is not very peaceful recently, I came here at a very bad time."

"Don't worry, Immortal Master Zuo, I won't cause trouble for you."

Wu Liang said disdainfully, "But Immortal Zuo shouldn't be afraid of trouble. Is there anything else I can do to win Immortal Zuo...except this."

While talking, Wu Liang had already placed a copper bowl firmly on the table between the two of them.

"General Wu really gave me back this lost thing so easily?"

Seeing this, Zuo Ci was somewhat suspicious.

"of course."

Wu Liang smiled and said, "Didn't I say it before, I didn't know anything about Immortal Zuo at the beginning, so I left this lost thing just for self-protection, since I left Jinyang City safely, this lost thing can already be returned Give it to Immortal Master Zuo."

"General Wu, are you sure you won't go back on your word?"

Zuo Ci still couldn't believe it.

"If Master Zuo doesn't want it, I'll take it back."

Wu Liang made a gesture to reach for it.

"I want it!"

Zuo Ci immediately rushed forward and hugged the copper bowl in his arms, and said happily, "Unexpectedly, General Wu is such an honest and trustworthy person. General Wu treats me like this, and I should repay him. It seems that General Wu is here. I have to get involved in anything that is not peaceful!"

"Master Zuo doesn't need to be so polite, in fact, I..."

Wu Liang wanted to say something else.

But seeing that Dian Wei had already walked in quickly, he whispered to Wu Liang, "Young master, the second son of the Cao family is here, accompanied by Cao Chun and some tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers...the other second son is also accompanied by several people around him. People in Taoist robes don’t know what they do.”

It seems that my return has attracted the attention of many people...

Wu Liang thought to himself, then nodded to Dian Wei, and said, "Teach them to come in."
