"Uncle Nine, why do you say that?" Cao Yanran asked as she looked at Cao Shang.

"Alas. ”

Cao Shang sighed, and said to Cao Yanran helplessly: "Yanran, in the past few days, although the development of our Cao family has been very stable, this is mainly because of the infighting in Qinzhou. ”

"Qinzhou infighting?"

Cao Yanran was slightly stunned.

"That's right, it's Qinzhou infighting. ”

Cao Shang nodded heavily, looked at Cao Yanran and said, "The current Qinzhou just seems to be calm. In fact, there is constant friction within the Wei family alone.

Moreover, the Lin family also united some small families and began to step up their efforts to seize the territory. ”

"Isn't the Wei family already attached to the Chen family?" Cao Yanran asked with a surprised face.

"Yes, that's right. ”

Cao Shang responded, nodded and said, "But the problem now is that the Wei family is no longer the whole Wei family that it used to be."

The current Wei family is divided and lacks a co-master, and these side forces of the Wei family are not convinced by each other, and fighting is inevitable.

It's just that the only good thing is that with Chen Shao's deterrence last time, all those Wei family forces who have already expressed their stance of belonging to the Chen family, they don't dare to blatantly collude with other forces anymore. ”

Cao Yanran couldn't help frowning.

During this time, although she has been working hard to understand Qinzhou, she definitely does not know more about Qinzhou than Cao Shang.

She never thought that Qinzhou now seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

"Third uncle, I understand what you mean. ”

Cao Yanran thought for a while, raised her head and looked at Cao Shang and said, "The main reason why our Cao family has been able to develop steadily recently is because all the families in Qinzhou are fighting among themselves.

Once they finish fighting, they will inevitably set their sights on us. Because if the Cao family wants to restore its previous status, it will inevitably touch the interests of other families. ”

"Yanran, you are worthy of Chen Shao's secretary, and your thinking is really quick. ”

Cao Shang praised Cao Yanran with a smile, and then continued to say to her: "However, you are only half right. ”

"Am I only half right?" Cao Yanran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Cao Shang looked at Cao Yanran and said with a smile: "Yanran, the situation is actually far from being as safe as you think. Don't say wait until Qinzhou is completely calm. Even now, the Lin family has begun to clash with us. ”

What the?

As soon as she heard the news, Cao Yanran's eyes widened instantly.

"When did it happen?" Cao Yanran asked directly.

"I just received the message. Cao Shang said.

This!

Cao Yanran's expression became complicated, and she said as if muttering to herself: "Shouldn't it? It stands to reason that Uncle Jiu, didn't you just say that the Lin family is now busy snatching the Wei family's territory?"

"That's right, but the Wei family's territory is not easy to grab now. Because most of the Wei family's side branches have already attached themselves to Chen Shao. They do not dare to openly collude with other forces. ”

Cao Shang said carefully to Cao Yanran: "Because of this, the Lin family turned the muzzle of the gun and began to fight the idea of our Cao family. They also released a word, let us return to their Lin family as we did when we returned to the Wei family.

Otherwise, the Cao family will be destroyed at one time. ”

"How can it be!"

Cao Yanran roared angrily.

At this moment, she exuded a smell of majesty.

Seeing Cao Yanran's reaction, Cao Shang nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

"Uncle Nine, I've decided. "Every day

Cao Yanran suddenly looked at Cao Shang seriously and said, "I decided to send a message to Chen Shao tonight and ask him to come over as soon as possible." ”

"If Chen Shao can come as soon as possible, it will naturally be the best. But ......"

Cao Shang hesitated, looked at Cao Yanran with some embarrassment and said, "Chen Shaolin handed over this place to us when he left, wouldn't it be bad if we asked him for help so rashly?"

"I really have to wait until the Lin family attacks our Cao family, and then I will really be sorry for Chen Shao. Cao Yanran said bluntly.

She became such a secretary by Chen Duo's side, and she still had some understanding of Chen Duo's temperament.

Chen Duo has always been pragmatic.

No matter what happens, as long as you start from the actual situation, no matter how bad the situation is, Chen Duo will not be angry.

On the contrary, if you rush up for the sake of the so-called face, causing actual huge losses, it will really make Chen Duo angry.

After sending the news back to Gu Luo, Chen Duo wrote back and asked Cao Yanran and Cao Shang to hold on for a few days.

So, Cao Yanran and Cao Shang began to arrange defense.

At the beginning, Cao Yanran and Cao Shang, with the help of Yang Hong, made defensive measures against the Lin family that were relatively effective.

However, a few days later, the Lin family suddenly seemed to have an enlightenment.

Every time, they were able to see through the Cao family's arrangement, and then accurately attacked the Cao family's weaknesses, causing heavy losses to the Cao family.

"How so?"

In the office, Cao Yanran sat behind a large desk, dejected.

Today, we lost our troops again, and we also lost a piece of territory that the Cao family had just recaptured.

"Uncle Nine, am I not very bad. Cao Yanran lowered her head and said.

"It's not your fault, you've done a great job. ”

Cao Shang comforted Cao Yanran softly, and then said, "I think there may be something wrong with us internally." ”

Internal problems?

Cao Yanran raised her head and looked at Cao Shang in a daze.

Cao Yanran understood the meaning of this sentence very thoroughly.

"Uncle Nine, do you mean that there are people within us who are colluding with the Lin family?" Cao Yanran asked.

"Shh

Cao Shang made a gesture of silence, and then said, "Be quiet, beware that the wall has ears." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Shang deliberately lowered his voice and said to Cao Yanran: "I'm just skeptical, think about it." Before the forces of Chen Shao, the noble lady of the Wei family, came to help, although we were struggling to insist, the Lin family had never been able to take much advantage.

However, after the Wei family's forces arrived one after another in the past few days, our strength has increased a lot on the surface, but in fact, we have been being pressed and beaten by the Lin family. Why?"

Because of what?

What else could it be!

Cao Shang dialed it so little, Cao Yanran's heart was like a mirror.

"But how can we catch who the spy is?" Cao Yanran asked

"We can't catch it. ”

Cao Shang shook his head and said helplessly: "These leaders of the Wei family are good at martial arts, and they have powerful subordinates under them.

Even if Captain Yang is added, he may not be able to restrain them. ”

"What then?"

Cao Yanran was in a hurry!

She was not anxious for herself, but anxious for Chen Duo's assets in Qinzhou to be annexed soon.
