Chapter 437 Lobbyist Cao Cao
Baibo Valley is located to the west of Fenshui, backed by the Luliang Mountains. Baibo Valley is a natural place to garrison troops.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban, Guo Tai, the leader of the Yellow Turban Qu, and Li Le settled here.

Since Zhang Yan, commander of Heishan Qu, took refuge in the imperial court, he was awarded the title of Pingnan Zhonglang General, and even Yang Feng was named a Heishan school lieutenant, and Yu Du was a planner.

Mrs. Guo also got acquainted with people in the court. Dong Zhuo was the prefect of Hedong at that time, and the person she contacted was Li Jue. Therefore, Li Jue once appeased Mrs. Guo and others. Therefore, Li Jue had contact with Yang Feng and others, and there was the former Black Mountain Yang Feng Yudu internal strife.

Dong Zhuo's entry to Beijing, abolition of the emperor, and relocation of the capital were all major events. In order to stabilize the rear, Li Jue comforted Mrs. Guo several times, and allocated the two counties of Pingyang and Linfen west of Fenshui to Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo took Yang Feng as the head of Pingyang, Han Xian as the head of Linfen, and Li Le as the county official. Because the county magistrates of Linfen and Linfen were locals, the rejection of the Baibo army was greatly reduced. The Baibo army did not easily plunder and kill in the two counties, making the two counties completely Baibo's base.

With the stability of the two counties, business travelers gradually came, and the needs of the tens of thousands of Baibo Army quickly attracted countless business travelers, and the two counties of Pingyang unexpectedly experienced unprecedented prosperity.

The send-off team was trapped in Jiangyi, and there was an endless stream of envoys from the two counties of Pingyang to visit Mrs. Guo, most of whom brought their belongings.

In order to keep Baibo Valley secret, Mrs. Guo rushed from Baibo Valley to Linfen on purpose. Linfen and Jiangyi were only separated by the Fen River. Mrs. Guo’s move made the princes very excited, and they promised that as long as the Baibo army encircled Jiangyi, the princes would be able to control the east of the river. The northern area was handed over to the Baibo army, and of course all kinds of property and supplies came at their mouths.

The governor of Hedong also sent envoys, but the promise was too little compared to the princes of the Guandong. Guo Tai came out of Baibo to put pressure on the governor of Hedong and make them show more sincerity. Said that the Baibo army cannot be made bigger, and the governor of Hedong can only threaten Mrs. Guo due to the pressure in the county. If he dares to go out of the siege of Jiangyi, the Xiliang cavalry will go straight into his lair.

Mrs. Guo was stunned again for a while, and swayed back and forth between the two sides.

Cao Cao came to Linfen in such an environment. As soon as Cao Cao entered Linfen, he was paid attention to by envoys from all walks of life. Xinpi, a lobbyist who had just stayed in Yuan Shao, and Chen Gong, an envoy sent by Liu Dai, appeared in front of him. Cao Cao was caught off guard.

"Brother Gongtai, Brother Zuozhi, why are you two here?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Someone said how a little Baibo bandit would surround the send-off team in Jiangyi, it turns out that brother Meng De is behind the scenes!"

Simpi said: "I'm afraid it's not behind the scenes, but I did it myself! Somehow, I didn't see brother Mengde before I came here. It turns out that brother Mengde is planning a big event here. I really admire him."

"My dear friends, don't make fun of me. As long as Brother Xuande is willing to send troops to Hedong, the pressure on the Central Plains battle will be greatly reduced."

Although Cao Cao had a thick skin, he turned around and was about to stab Liu Bei as soon as he came back from Jinyang. This behavior was notorious in the Han Dynasty, which ruled the world with loyalty and filial piety.

The faces of Chen Gong and the two changed after hearing this, and Chen Gong said: "Brother Meng De, to tell you the truth, after Hu Zhen was defeated by Sun Jian, Xu Rong stepped up his attack on Suanzao, and Liu Yanzhou (Liu Dai) also lost several times in a row. The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo intends to send cavalry to plunder the Guandong again. Li Ru’s plan is to keep my Guandong from being peaceful, so he can cultivate his health and rest in Chang’an. The Kanto region is in danger! The Han Dynasty is in danger!"

When the matter reached the height of the safety of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao naturally stepped forward without hesitation, and agreed: "Brother Gongtai's words are true, I don't know what can I do?"

Chen Gong smiled slightly: "Simple, persuade Mrs. Guo to send troops. At that time, Liu Bingzhou (Liu Bei) will send troops to Hedong. At that time, the bandits Dong will not dare to send reinforcements out of the Kanto. Dong Yue and others had to retreat to Luoyang, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Luoyang, Luoyang could go down in a few months, once Luoyang fell, the Xiliang army could only retreat in Guanzhong."

Chen Gong's plan was just to pick up on Cao Cao's wisdom, but Chen Gong was much better than Cao Mengde in persuading Liu Dai and others to send troops. Why did he get upset at the beginning?
Cao Cao and Chen Gongneng had a story of "I would rather let me bear the people of the world than teach the world to bear me".

"Okay, let's talk about the situation in Linfen and Mrs. Guo's intention first."

Cao Cao swallowed the pain himself, Chen Gong told Cao Cao all the news he had inquired about, and then let Cao Cao sort it out by himself.

In the evening, Wei Hu successfully begged to see Mrs. Guo, and Cao Cao went to see Mrs. Guo together with Wei Hu.

Guo Tai is dressed as a Confucian scholar, but many people in Hebei know that Guo Tai was originally a direct disciple of a great virtuous teacher. Although he is not as famous as Zhang Yan, Zhang Niujiao, and Bo Cai, he is also famous in Hedong and Bingzhou. , but few know that he is Guo Tai's nephew.

After Guo Tai's death, he joined the Taiping Sect under a pseudonym. After the failure of the Yellow Turban, he changed his real name back. For this reason, Jiexiu Guo always wanted to get rid of him, the scum who ruined Jiexiu Guo's reputation, but several assassinations failed to kill Mrs. Guo. , On the contrary, it made Mrs. Guo's reputation.

"Mr. Wei, are you also a lobbyist?"

Mrs. Guo saw that Wei Hu was pretending to be surprised, and then raised her forehead and said: "Oh! I forgot that the bride is your second son's fiancee, hey! It's strange to say, why does Liu Bingzhou always like to steal people's favors?"

Wei Hu looked embarrassed, Cao Cao said: "I don't know how good it is for Liu Xuande to win the captain?"

Mrs. Guo looked at Cao Cao. Wushou was ordinary in stature and appearance. If she didn't look brave, she would be an ordinary person. I have to say that Boss Cao's face is indeed unpopular, far from the Yuan brothers and Boss Liu.

"Who is this!"

Guo Tai arrogantly asked Wei Hu.

Just as Wei Hu was about to speak, Cao Cao said directly, "Cao Cao Cao Mengde of Peiguo."

Mrs. Guo was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw Wei Hu nodding, she said in surprise: "Could it be Cao Cao of the Pei Kingdom who failed to assassinate Dong and pretended to beg Dong?"

"Exactly."

Cao Cao didn't know that a bandit leader also knew about his affairs, so he didn't secretly rejoice, but had a deeper understanding of Mrs. Guo. This is an ambitious bandit leader.

"Sorry."

Mrs. Guo bowed, and Cao Cao returned the salute.

Mrs. Guo changed her arrogance and said calmly: "Since it was Cao Yue who came here on horseback, then XX will cut to the chase, let's talk! What's the benefit of XX sending troops?"

Before Cao Cao escaped from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo appointed him as the school lieutenant of Yueqi. This is a genuine two thousand stone officer, which is much more valuable than Yuan Shao's appointment of Dai Fenwu General.

Cao Cao said: "There are three advantages. First, you can make friends with the princes of the world. With their support, I think life in Baibo will be much easier for you. Needless to say, the benefits they give to you! Liu Bingzhou's main wife will have as many armors and weapons as she wants. Three? The Hedong Wei family will be grateful to their feet, with their support, they will have soldiers, food, armor and people, and it will not be a problem to sweep Hedong."

What Cao Cao said was that Mrs. Guo was so anxious that he didn't care about the friendship between the princes. Lucheng armored equipment is the best in the world. If he has enough armored equipment, he can form an army of tens of thousands. By then, Hedong County will not be able to get something in his pocket.

Mrs. Guo controlled the joy in her heart, and said: "What if Xiliang or Lucheng aggressively attacks XX?"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard the words, Guo Tai was puzzled: "Why is Cao Yueqi laughing?"

Cao Cao said: "It turns out that the famous Captain Guo is afraid of Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo! Hahaha!"

Mrs. Guo was laughed at for no reason, the Kwantung princes were all afraid of the Xiliang army like a tiger, and the Lucheng army beat the Xiliang army with no power to fight back. Why couldn't he be afraid of both?
Seeing Mrs. Guo's face turning blue, Cao Cao stopped laughing and said, "Lieutenant Guo, do you know what the cavalry are most afraid of?"

Mrs. Guo nodded and shook her head, he was a little confused about what Cao Cao meant.

Cao Cao said: "Why is there no cavalry in Jiangdong? Firstly, horses are expensive, and secondly, Jiangdong's water network is dense. Why is there no cavalry in Yizhou? The mountain roads are rugged and horses can't walk. When the two armies came, Guo Xiaowei entered the Luliang Mountains. I don't believe it." The horses of the cavalry can enter Luliang Mountain, or Guo Xiaowei has no confidence to go around Luliang Mountain."

Mrs. Guo has been in the Baibo Valley for several years, and she has already studied the Luliang Mountains thoroughly. He was just shocked by the prestige of the Xiliang Army.

"Cao Yueqi, wake up the dreamer with one word!"
