Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 467

In the silent big tent, Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and it was self-evident that they connected with each other.

Of course, there are also those upright military generals, such as Zhang Jing, Liu Yan, Wu Zhou and others who didn’t know it. The old love from the past, the second feeling is the ambition of the envoy to help the country, if you can't survive on your own and rely on others, please forgive me for not daring to serve the envoy anymore."

This statement was much more resolute than Mao Jie's attitude just now, Cao Cao was naturally ecstatic in his heart.However, under such a general situation, Xu Tuo and a few small officials still hesitated, Cao Cao's face darkened, knowing this matter, he could no longer force it.

At this moment, there was a burst of wild laughter from far to near, which seemed so incongruous with the tense atmosphere in the tent——Cheng Yu, who stood out from the crowd, entered the room, and swaggered to Cao Cao with lofty arrogance: "I heard that the envoy is back!" , Yute came to pay respects."

Cao Cao has long been accustomed to Cheng Yu's wildness, so he raised his hand and said, "Zhongde, please protect Dong'a and Fan County...what are you laughing at?" Cheng Yu bowed to Cao Cao again, "Mr. The things discussed are just ridiculous."

"Why is this?" Cao Cao knew what Cheng Yu was going to say in his heart, but deliberately showed a puzzled expression.

Cheng Yu raised his arms angrily, looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "In the past, there was a Tian Heng, who belonged to the family of the Qi State. Three brothers were kings. They ruled thousands of miles of Qi, and they had millions of people. They were alone with the princes in the south. After that, Gaozu won the world. , and coercion is to surrender captives. At this time, how can you be arrogant!"

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Of course, dedicating the country to others is the most humiliating husband. Tian Heng's suicide can also be forgiven."

Cheng Yu worshiped again: "Yu is a fool. He doesn't know the general purpose, but he thinks that the general's ambition is not as good as Tian Heng's. A strong man in Qi district is ashamed to be a minister of Gaozu. Now I heard that the general wants to send his family to Ye, and go north to serve Yuan Shao , with the general's intelligence and martial arts, you are not ashamed to be under Yuan Shao, and you are ashamed to be the general!"

Cao Cao finally laughed, but couldn't help reminding Cheng Yudao, "When people's hearts are scattered, Cao must only do this expedient measure."

Cheng Yu quoted the ancients to discuss the present, and was waiting for this moment, and said with heroism: "Husband Yuan Shao occupies the land of Yan and Zhao, and he has the heart to unite the world, but his wisdom can't help him. Can the general be able to be inferior? General With the power of dragons and tigers, can it be evil for Han and Peng? Although Yanzhou is disabled today, there are still three cities. There are no less than ten thousand people who can fight. With the general's supernatural power, Wen Ruo, Yu, etc., take them and use them. The career of the overlord can be accomplished. May the general be more concerned about it!"

These words undoubtedly made everyone see a glimmer of light and hope in the dark predicament.Those who hesitated couldn't help but gain some confidence, and they all knelt down when they heard the words, and said in unison: "May the general be more concerned!"

At this time, Cao Cao didn't care what kind of smile he was showing, and he stroked his beard and said, "Everyone's words are words of gold and stone, and Cao is deeply impressed. This time, he decided not to attach Yuan Shao or move his family, so he made plans here. Deal with the rebels to the end! Someone, quickly summon the Hebei envoys."

There is no need to upload it, Xu You heard it clearly from outside, and rushed into the tent, followed by the three Hebei generals.With a livid face, he bowed and said: "Since the envoy has made up his mind and is obsessed with obsession, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I will return to Hebei with the three generals."

"Go away, sir." Cao Cao pretended to be free and easy, and gave Xu You a cold look.

Xu You also groaned and turned around, beckoning the three Hebei generals to leave, but Zhu Ling suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Now you can go by yourself, the last general will not accompany you!"

No one had expected this change, but after everyone recalled Zhu Ling's life experience, they couldn't help showing admiration for Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling is from Qinghe. Since Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, he has been loyal and loyal, and has made many military exploits.In the past, Qinghe ordered Ji Yong to rebel in the city and seek refuge with Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao sent Zhu Ling to quell the rebellion.Ji Yong was terrified, and took Zhu Ling's family to the tower to threaten them. Zhu Ling looked at the city with a strong temper and wept: "When a husband is born into a family, how can he take care of his family again!"

At this moment, everyone could even think of the blood splashed on the top of the city and the rolling corpses that were pushed down.No one could understand how heartbroken Zhu Ling must have felt at that moment when he saw his own family's life being killed by the sword.Although in the end he captured Ji Yong alive and dissected him, but his family was farewell to him forever.

From then on, Zhu Ling hated the hostage-taking thing the most.Today, Yuan Shao wanted to take Cao Cao's family as hostages again, which reminded him more of what happened back then, and righteous indignation surged in his chest. He was extremely disappointed with Yuan Shao's pious person, and immediately decided to abandon Yuan and return to Cao.

Xu You was naturally surprised, and said in disbelief, "Zhu Wenbo...you...you..."

Zhu Ling raised that rebellious face and said: "There are many people in Lingguan, and there is no one like Cao Gong. This is the true master. Now that we have met, what should we do?"

"Okay! This statement must be passed on to General Cheqi!" Xu You was ashamed and did not forget to say: "You stay in Cao Ying, and I have nothing to say, but your soldiers must go back with me!"

"You dare!" Since Zhu Ling rebelled, he knew that if he wanted to rebel, he would rebel completely. He stared at the big copper bell and roared: "If you dare to move one of the soldiers in my camp, I will destroy you!"

After all, Xu You is a literati, and I was really afraid that a rough man like Zhu Ling would kill someone with his eyes, so he had to cup his hands and say, "You, you...you can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, Xu You was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, Outside the tent, two more people came hand in hand with smiles. When Cao Cao thanked Zhu Ling, he looked up and saw that it was Li Gan who had brought Wan Qian back.

Although Li Gan was a mighty and mighty Yanzhou giant, he was close friends with Cao Cao's confidant Bao Xin, and seeing Cao Cao's courageous conquest after entering Yanzhou, he devoted himself to Cao Cao.It's just that the Li family has a great career, and Li Gan has not reached the point where he can influence the whole family. As a result, after Lu Bu entered Yan, the Li family was completely divided into two factions.One faction headed by him served Cao Cao, while the other faction headed by Li Feng became Lu Bu's subordinate.

However, not only did Cao Cao feel jealous of Li Qian because of this, but he also valued Li Qian's loyalty even more.Especially Li Dian, Li Qian's nephew, a young man who had not yet been crowned weak, became a pillar-like figure in Li's hometown.

As for Wan Qian, he is a famous person in Yanzhou. The reason why Cao Cao was able to transform Yanzhou into his own power within a year is inseparable from Wan Qian's great help.However, during the conquest of Xuzhou, Cao Cao killed Bian Rang who had a personal relationship with Wan Qian. Wan Qian was like Zhu Ling at that time, and left Cao in despair.Unexpectedly, at this time, he followed Li Gan into the tent again.

"Wan Zhizhong, you are..." Wan Qian is highly qualified, and he is really qualified to be respected by Cao Cao, and he is worthy of his old position.What's more, there is also a trace of Cao Cao's inexplicable surprise.

Wan Qian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm old and shameless, and I'm back to take refuge in you again."

Cao Cao suddenly felt ashamed: "In the past, I killed the three of Bian Rang, and Wanzhi won you..."

Wan Qian waved his hand: "I don't want to mention the past. Although the emperor killed a few scholars, he didn't harm the people of Yanzhou innocently? On the contrary, he selected officials and loved the people, but the one person brought by Lu Bu in Bingzhou expropriated Indulging in excesses, is the difference between you and the envoy? I am willing to come back and assist the general to quell the civil strife. Although the old man cannot fight, but after a long time in Yanzhou, he can still persuade several counties by showing off his old face."

Li Gan also said at the right time: "I, Li family, still have food and grass in the village in the Cheng family, and I would like to go there personally and tell the people of the clan to join the general."

"Good! Good! Good!" Cao Cao stepped forward and grabbed their hands, "With everyone's help, how can the difficulties in Yanzhou be injustice?"

Cheng Yu saw that these two men were stealing the limelight from him, so he interjected, "Your Majesty, we are poor and have no food here. I have already prepared food and grass in Dong'e for the soldiers to use. Why don't we lead the troops to Tun Dong'e!"

As soon as this remark came out, some people were awe-inspiring.Cao Cao didn't know, but some people had heard about it. Because of the lack of food and grass in Dong'e, Cheng Yu became vicious, killed the rebels in the county, and dried the meat to fill the army's rations!The thought of cannibalism made everyone look ashen, but at this time Cao Cao was determined to continue fighting in order to maintain his strength, and no one dared to break the window screen.

As a result, the original decadent atmosphere in the big tent was swept away no matter what.Just as Cao Cao was enjoying Trent's flight, he saw that Xu You hadn't left in the corner, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.Seeing this, Guo Jia got up and said, "Your Majesty, since the decision has been made, can we go down and make preparations separately?"

Cao Cao nodded silently, and everyone left knowing each other.Finally, when only Cao Cao and Xu You were left in the camp, Cao Cao sat down on the main seat with relief, and asked, "Ziyuan, this time there is a big piece of information to sell to Ah Man? You see, too. Now that I am poor and alone, I have no time to take care of myself, and I am afraid that I am no longer your benefactor."

Xu You naturally heard that Cao Cao was mocking him when he reported Yuan Shao's conspiracy to Liu Yu in Youzhou, but he didn't take it seriously at all, and smiled with a trace of merchant-like cunning: "Ah Man, I'll stay this time. It’s not for private matters, it’s for the general’s official business.”

"Oh?" Seeing that Xu You was not greedy for money, Cao Cao couldn't help being very interested.

"What you are worrying about now, Aman, is probably not Lu Bu in Puyang, but two or two Han armies in Yanzhou. If the chariot and cavalry generals can make the two armies of the Han Dynasty unable to advance or retreat, I wonder what Aman is going to do?"

Cao Cao smiled wryly, knowing that the world would not lose a piece of fat.Quietly recalling Lu Bu's heroic appearance on the battlefield, he couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that Yuan Benchu ​​still miss Cao's family?"

"No, if Cheng Yu, Li Gan, and Wan Qian hadn't been accounted for before, the chariot general would naturally want to go back to his cage. But now..." Xu You's smile gradually hardened, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his mean and cunning face. Murderous Intent: "Right now, it's true that one moment is the other moment!"
