Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 253 Yuan Shao's thoughts (2)

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Cao Cao's expression darkened immediately.

"Besides, I think Brother Meng De also knows that there is a reason why Brother Benchu ​​is so disinterested in welcoming the Emperor back. For this reason, you must be as bright as a mirror, right?" Zhao Lei laughed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Cao Cao said blankly.

Zhao Lei glanced at Cao Cao with a smile, but shook his head instead of answering Cao Cao's words, because he saw many soldiers of Yuan Shao's army coming here, so Zhao Lei said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, this is not a place to talk. You’d better follow me back to my place before we talk about it!” After speaking, Zhao Lei grabbed Cao Cao’s hand, and without waiting for Cao Cao’s reply, he rushed straight to the camp of Yangzhou soldiers.Although Cao Cao didn't understand what Zhao Lei wanted to say, it seemed to be a very important matter now, so he didn't resist and let Zhao Lei pull him away from Yuan Shao's camp.

Soon, when they arrived at the camp of the Yangzhou soldiers, Zhao Lei ordered the soldiers of the Yangzhou soldiers to be on strict alert, and called Zhang Han and Zhao Yun, and then took Cao Cao directly into his tent.After entering the big tent, Zhao Lei turned his head and made a gesture of invitation to Cao Cao, and said with a smile, "Brother Meng De, don't worry, sit down and have a drink! Hanzi and Zilong will be here soon."

How could Cao Cao want to drink water now? He just shook his head and said, "Oh! Zihan! Don't be a fool anymore. Tell me what you have to say! I'm dying of anxiety if you don't look at me." What are you waiting for Zizhou and Zilong!"

Just as Cao Cao was speaking, Zhang Han and Zhao Yun were walking into the tent with their shoulders crossed.

"Brother Meng De, what did you say just now! Come on, come on, you have to punish yourself three times for this sentence!" Zhang Han joked.

Cao Cao was not interested in continuing the joke with Zhang Han, but turned around and continued to question Zhao Lei.

Regarding Cao Cao's persecution, Zhao Lei smiled lightly. Although Cao Cao is still somewhat selfish, he is loyal to the Han family. A generation of traitors!Thinking of this, Zhao Lei put aside the question for now, dragged Cao Cao to sit in the tent, and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Brother Meng De! To tell you the truth, I know why Dong Zhuo retreated! I also know why brother Benchu ​​did so. I don’t want to welcome back the current emperor!”

"What?" Hearing Zhao Lei's series of answers, Cao Cao was immediately stunned.Cao Cao stared fixedly at Zhao Lei with staring eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the expression on his face, but he couldn't find the problem no matter what, and finally asked with a face full of disbelief: " Zihan! I, did I hear you right? How do you know why Dong Thief retreated? This, this. How is it possible?"

In fact, Cao Cao didn't believe it at all, because Zhao Lei always carried a lot of mystery, and always gave people a feeling of knowing everything.However, judging from the actual situation, he did not believe that Zhao Lei knew the reason for Dong Zhuo's retreat. Since the last battle at Hulao Pass, Zhao Lei has been staying in front of Hulao Pass like other princes.Especially in the last battle, when Zhao Lei defeated Lu Bu and helped the Allied army break through with his own strength, this kind of strength has already attracted the attention of the princes from all walks of life. Even Cao Cao sent many people to secretly monitor Zhao Lei. Yangzhou soldiers.But these days, Zhao Lei has never found any contact with the outside world!Now even Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, doesn't know the reason for Dong Zhuo's retreat, how does Zhao Lei know?
Zhao Lei smiled and seemed to have read Cao Cao's thoughts, and said slowly: "Actually, I came from Yangzhou this time. When I was about to arrive in Chenliucheng, I secretly dispatched a 1000-man army to bypass Sishui, Hu Take advantage of the two barriers, carry out a surprise attack from Henan County to the south of Luoyang!, and take advantage of the time when Dong Zhuo led the army to attack Luoyang!" Zhao Lei did not intend to hide this news from Cao Cao and other princes, after all This matter can be found out as long as someone with a heart checks it out.

This news completely stunned Cao Cao!Raid Luoyang?God!Did I hear you right?Cao Cao couldn't believe his eyes!Although Zhao Lei's commanding ability and prestige were already valued before, he never expected that Zhao Lei would still be able to give himself such a big surprise now!As for Cao Cao's surprise, Zhao Lei also knew it well, but immediately pretended to be annoyed, and said: "It's a pity that I don't have enough soldiers and horses, only 1000 people. If there are more troops, I can take them directly." Luoyang City, cut off the retreat of Dong thief! Haha, but that is not called a sneak attack. And I originally planned to take this opportunity to rescue the emperor, but I didn't expect Dong thief to be so cunning and bold, and even kidnapped the emperor to fight!"

As for Zhao Lei's words, how much was true and how much was false, Cao Cao was naturally very clear, and immediately said: "No wonder Dong Zhuo would withdraw his troops. It turns out that you sent people to attack Luoyang to destroy Dong Zhuo's money and food in Luoyang, so that the army will be destroyed. Dong Zhuo had to retreat."

Seeing Cao Cao expose his political rhetoric on the spot, Zhao Lei didn't feel too embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hehe, brother Meng De's eyes are bright, that's exactly what happened."

After all, Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly accepted this fact.Cao Cao had no doubts about Zhao Lei's words, because he knew Zhao Lei well, and he would never lie about such things out of nowhere.After thinking for a while, Cao Cao raised his head, looked at Zhao Lei with a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile, "Zihan, Zihan! You've made it hard for me to hide it from me!"
