"What is the military situation in Qingzhou, let's talk quickly!"

Cao Cao looked at the soldiers who were reporting the news and asked loudly.

Originally, the imperial court was ready to appoint Kong Rong as the assassin of Qingzhou, but because of Gongsun Zhan's sideways, he hijacked the envoy and took the four major states of Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou. Ordinary people may not know the reason, but some people who have reached a certain position understand the truth, so they do not recognize the identity of Gongsun Zhan. Now Qingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Chan, and Gongsun Chan also sent his general Tian Kai to serve in Qingzhou. Now that Qingzhou has a military situation, could it be that Gongsun Chan is preparing to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou?

In just an instant, Cao Cao vetoed the idea.

Gongsun Chan is now preparing for war with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, where is there still the strength to deal with him Cao Cao? Moreover, when Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu and some of Liu Yu's subordinates fled to the northern alien land, the northern alien race was still very convinced of Liu Yu and was very likely to send troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. Therefore, in any respect, it was impossible for Gongsun Chan to attack his Yanzhou under Cao Cao.

"Lord Qiyu, according to the report from Qingzhou's spies, Kong Rong of Beihai County led 10,000 troops to reinforce Tao Qian, and Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai led 15,000 troops to also reinforce Tao Qian. In addition, Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, went to Gongsun Zhan to borrow troops, and Tao Qian will be reinforced in the near future. ”

"Damn, I have never had a grudge against them, but now they have attacked me for no reason, and this revenge will be avenged sooner or later. ”

Hearing the news reported by the soldiers, Cao Cao was immediately furious.

If Tian Kai sent troops, it would be said in the past. Tian Kai was under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan had an alliance with Tao Qian and Yuan Shu; and he Cao Cao and Yuan Shao united, and attacking Cao Cao was equivalent to attacking Yuan Shao, and it was reasonable for Tian Kai to send troops. However, Cao Cao and Kong Rong have nothing to do with each other, but now they have also sent troops to reinforce Tao Qian, which shows that Kong Rong is going to do the right thing with him Cao, and people who have nothing to do with this matter are involved, how can Cao Cao not be angry? And that Liu Bei, when the Tiger Prison was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was still good to Liu Bei, but he didn't expect to come against him now.

The news from Qingzhou was transmitted by the spies, and Tian Kai and Kong Rong had also sent troops for a long time, and I am afraid that they would arrive within a day or two. For Cao Cao, he was not afraid of Kong Rong and Tian Kai's men at all, the key was that he was not comfortable in his heart, and he really wanted to lead his troops to destroy these two people and let them know the consequences of going against him.

Xun You seemed to know Cao Cao's thoughts, and hurriedly stood up and admonished: "Lord, although Kong Rong and Tian Kai's troops are not enough to fear, our army is now a little tired after many days of fighting, and the purpose of this expedition to Xuzhou has been achieved, there is no need to consume troops with them. Before, Kong Rong sent a messenger to send a letter to mediate between the lord and Tao Qian, and now the lord might as well sell his face to Kong Rong, so as to withdraw from the army. ”

Cao Cao is not a generous person, and a person who can say, "I'd rather teach the world to bear the world's people, and stop teaching the world's people to bear me," how big can his heart be? However, Cao Cao is a real hero, he can afford to let go, and he can still listen to the advice of his subordinates. Therefore, Cao Cao pondered for a moment and agreed to Xun You's advice.

Subsequently, Cao Cao sent Kong Rong and was invited by the messenger he had been hanging for several days, saying that he thought Kong Rong was right, and it was better to settle the dispute, so he Cao Cao withdrew from Xuzhou on the same day. Of course, Kong Rong and Tian Kai still kept in mind the matter of Kong Rong and Tian Kai's assistance to Tao Qian, and sooner or later he would take revenge.

At that moment, Kong Rong and Tian Kai were naturally overjoyed when they received Cao Cao's reply, and they did not want to go to war with Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao's troops were very strong.

As for Liu Bei, who went to Gongsun Zhan in Youzhou to borrow troops, of course he didn't know what happened in Xuzhou, and after borrowing troops from Gongsun Zhan, he slowly marched to Xuzhou. As for Liu Bei's arrival in Xuzhou, the battle was already over. Liu Bei did not leave, and found a place to camp in Xuzhou, saying that it was to prevent Cao Cao from attacking again. And Liu Bei borrowed the troops from Gongsun Zhan, of course Liu Bei would not return them to Gongsun Zhan so quickly, just like Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan in history, it is easy to borrow, but it is difficult to repay. From this point of view, it is really not wrong that Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Bang, both of them are the same scoundrels.

Since he had decided to withdraw from Xuzhou, Cao Cao naturally would not delay, and directly ordered the army to withdraw from the camp and prepare for the withdrawal. At this time, Cao Cao also remembered something and summoned Cao Ren to his camp.

"Zixiao, just now I remembered one thing. At the beginning, in order to escape the rebellion of the eunuchs, my father took refuge in Taishan County. I had no reason with Tao Qian before, but I had nothing to do. Now that I am at war with Tao Qian, I am afraid that Tao Qian will embarrass my father. You are safer of all people, and I want you to take my father to live in Yanzhou. ”

"Brother, don't worry, I will take my uncle to Yanzhou safely. ”

Cao Ren and Cao Cao are brothers of the same clan, and they call Cao Cao their brother in private, and Cao Cao's father is naturally Cao Ren's uncle.

After the explanation, after the matter of Xuzhou, Cao Cao will be able to go back to Yanzhou to develop with peace of mind, and I believe that for a long time in the future, no one will come to provoke Yanzhou.

Cao Cao didn't know that it was precisely because he wanted to take Cao Song to Yanzhou that Cao Song was killed.

In history, Cao Cao's father was killed because of the leak of his whereabouts. Many people believe that Cao Cao did it on purpose, in order to have an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou.

Actually, this statement is really nonsense.

Cao Cao was a hero, not a brute, so how could such a thing be done? Cao Cao, as a hero, was very proud of himself, and if he used his father's life as an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou, this was not allowed by Cao Cao. If Cao Cao wants to attack Xuzhou, he can find an excuse at will, and he is guilty of using his father's life as an excuse?

Therefore, those who think that Cao Cao used his father's life as an excuse to send troops to Xuzhou are very dark in their hearts.

It is said that Tao Qian is the assassin of Xuzhou, and many people or things in Xuzhou are under his control. Cao Song was also a lieutenant of the imperial court, a high-ranking official only under the prime minister and the general. Moreover, there was no low-key statement that Cao Song took refuge in Taishan County at the beginning, and celebrities like Cao Song did not deliberately hide in a low-key manner, and it was absolutely normal to be known. Therefore, Tao Qian naturally knew that Cao Song lived in his own territory.

Originally, Tao Qian joined forces with Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shu, but it was just to keep his Xuzhou. Who knew that the alliance he participated in was so fragile that it could not withstand the attacks of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Afterwards, Tao Qian will naturally regret it. Since Cao Song is in his territory, of course Cao Song will deliberately make friends, and with the existence of Cao Song as an intermediary, Cao Cao should not be too embarrassed by him.

However, now Cao Cao wants to take Cao Song to Yanzhou, doesn't this cut off Tao Qian's back road?

According to normal circumstances, Cao Song lives in the territory of Xuzhou, and Tao Qian will not embarrass Cao Song. However, Cao Cao wanted to take Cao Song away, why did he take him away? Because Cao Cao had already regarded Tao Qian as an undying enemy, and he was afraid that Tao Qian would embarrass Cao Song, so Cao Cao wanted to take Cao Song away.

Tao Qian thought of this, Cao Cao had already decided to destroy him Xuzhou, so what else could he Tao Qian be polite about?

So, Tao Qian summoned Zhang Min again, and the two discussed, and after Zhang Min left, Tao Qian sneered in his heart, Since Cao Cao is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

……

Not to mention the war in Xuzhou, Yuan Chang, who was in Bohai County, was preparing for the military parade, but he heard a report from his subordinates that someone wanted to see him.

After the other party knew his name, Yuan Chang knew that the person who came was Mi Zhu, a big local tyrant.

"Haha, don't come from afar, I can't meet from afar, it's really rude. Yuan Chang said with a hearty smile, but he was secretly thinking about it in his heart.

If Yuan Chang's forces want to develop, then a very important condition is to have funds.

Although the villagers of the provincial village handed over to Yuan Chang the wealth that their ancestors had plundered for hundreds of years, the wealth was limited after all, and it would be used up sooner or later. Moreover, Yuan Chang's development is amazing, and any project requires a huge amount of money. For example, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Hundred Academies, and so on, which one of them does not need money? The villagers of the province have given a lot of wealth, but now they have already used one-fifth of it, and if this trend continues, the money will be used up in less than two years. If there is a war in the future, the cost of funds will be even worse. Therefore, Yuan Chang is now in great need of a talent who can make money for him.

Li Rui's Yuelai Restaurant is not for profit, the main purpose of Yuelai Restaurant is to find out intelligence, and there is not much money to be made.

In today's era, there are many famous businessmen, such as Mi Zhu, Lu Su and so on. Lu Su is a strategist, but his ability to make money is not bad, but Lu Su's strategist can be higher than his ability to make money. Moreover, Lu Su is in Jiangdong, which is more difficult. Mi Zhu is in Xuzhou, and his status is not low, and it is difficult to get Mi Zhu to his Bohai County. Who knows, Mi Zhu actually sent it to the door by himself.

Of course, Yuan Chang also understands that according to the development of history, Mi Zhu should have met Liu Bei, Mi Zhu should have a very good impression of Liu Bei, and if he wants him to take refuge in himself, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult!

"Zhu came uninvited, Yuan Taishou should not be blamed, how can Yuan Taishou be like this?"

As a humble gentleman, Mi Zhu is kind and not good at intrigues. Therefore, for the first meeting, Yuan Chang's hearty personality naturally made him feel good.

"Where, where! Zizhong spread the name of benevolence in Xuzhou, I have admired it for a long time, and I have never seen a real person, but when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its name. ”

Yuan Chang is good at pulling relationships, and he only said one or two sentences and directly called people Mi Zhu's words. After Mi Zhu praised him, he looked at the few people behind Mi Zhu, and his face was a little interested.

There were three people standing behind Mi Zhu, one of whom had a squirrelous face and nostrils facing the sky, as if he was the eldest and the second. Although he didn't know who this guy was, Yuan Chang knew that this guy was Mi Fang just thinking about it. And the person behind Mi Fang, although he was dressed as a man, with Yuan Chang's eyes, he naturally saw at a glance that the other party was a woman. As a woman, she can follow Mi Zhu's side, she is still so young, she thinks it is Mi Zhu's sister, the Mi lady Mi Zhen who committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in history. From Yuan Chang's eyes, Mi Zhen is a beauty, if you calculate it with a full score of 100 points, Mi Zhen is at least 90 points or more. In today's era, those who can be counted as full marks, I'm afraid that no one else can do it except Diao Xiuer.

Of course, Mi Fang and Mi Zhen are not the people who interest Yuan Chang the most, but the one who interests Yuan Chang the most is the one standing at the back. This person was dressed as a servant and seemed to be Mi Zhu's subordinate. However, the aura on this person's body made Yuan Chang frightened, he was definitely a fierce general, although he was a little worse than Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, but he was only weaker, and he was definitely a fierce general who exceeded the level of a first-class general. How could such a character be Mi Zhu's subordinate?

It's not that Yuan Chang looks down on Mi Zhu, in fact, Mi Zhu is just a businessman, and he may have a lot of customers. However, if a fierce general like this does not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, how can he be a doorman?

Yuan Chang's guess was not wrong, this guy was indeed not an ordinary person, but Tai Shici, who followed Mi Zhu to Bohai County.

Didn't Tai Shici come to Bohai County to join Yuan Chang, how could he dress up as Mi Zhu's subordinate?

Tai Shici promised to come to Bohai County to take a look, but he didn't say that he would take refuge in Yuan Chang. Therefore, Tai Shici came to Bohai County this time to investigate whether Yuan Chang was the master in his mind. In order not to be too conspicuous, Tai Shi Ci disguised himself as a subordinate of Cheng Mi Zhu. In this way, you can better see Yuan Chang's character, if it is worth taking refuge with himself, he will tear off his disguise and take refuge in Yuan Chang; if it is not worth it, he can only say sorry to Cheng right and wrong, and go to his fellow countryman Liu Xuan.

When they met for the first time, Tai Shici had a good impression of Yuan Chang, at least he was quite gentle. It's just that such a character will inevitably be less murderous, and in today's war-torn era, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Of course, since Tai Shici came to inspect Yuan Chang, he would not have made a decision so quickly.

Seeing Yuan Chang curiously looking at the three people behind him, Mi Zhu hurriedly introduced himself to Yuan Chang.

Mi Fang and Mi Zhen were the same as Yuan Chang guessed, as for the person who made Yuan Chang the most curious, he didn't expect it to be Tai Shici. As for Tai Shi Ci, Mi Zhu didn't introduce too much, just simply said that it was his guard Tai Shi Ci, and there was no follow-up. It's really good for a subordinate to be mentioned by name. According to Mi Zhu's true thoughts, he didn't want to introduce Tai Shi Ci to Yuan Chang, because he knew the purpose of Tai Shi Ci's coming to Bohai County. However, Tai Shici is not his subordinate, he still has to be introduced.

Yuan Chang was stunned in his heart, how could Tai Shi Ci run to Bohai County? Moreover, he was also disguised as Mi Zhu's subordinate? Knowing that it was Tai Shi Ci, Yuan Chang was even more sure that he would not be Mi Zhu's subordinate, and it was obviously disguised to be dressed like this. According to the trajectory of history, Tai Shici should go to find Liu Xuan, how could he appear in front of him with Mi Zhu?

Countless thoughts flashed in Yuan Chang's heart, but he didn't expect Tai Shici to come to him because of right and wrong.

Of course, Yuan Chang had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show them. Since Tai Shi Ci hid his identity, he must have his purpose, and Yuan Chang remained silent, but wanted to see what Tai Shi Ci came to his Bohai County for.

"Haha, Zizhong, your two younger brothers are special. One walks without looking at the ground with his eyes, and the other looks delicate and lovely, but looks like a daughter; of course, Zizhong, your guard, is even more eye-catching, and the centurion and the lieutenant in our army are afraid that they are not so imposing, and Zizhong can get such a guard, which is really enviable. ”

Yuan Chang didn't regard himself as an outsider, and commented on Mi Fang, Mi Zhen and Tai Shici in one go.

"Humph!"

Mi Fang snorted dissatisfiedly, Yuan Chang meant that his nostrils were facing the sky, he was too arrogant, and he was not an idiot, how could he not hear the meaning of Yuan Chang's words. As for Mi Zhen, she glared at Yuan Chang angrily, she was already dressed up perfectly, how could Yuan Chang still see her daughter's body?

As for Tai Shici, his expression remained unchanged, and he still appreciated Yuan Chang's eyesight.

Subsequently, Yuan Chang summoned Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others to get acquainted with Mi Zhu and them. Ye Gucheng's five people didn't call, they usually helped Yuan Chang find the Mo family's son, and they didn't manage the affairs of Bohai County, but they were not in a hurry to get to know Mi Zhu and them. As for Lu Bu, he is an ally with Yuan Chang, and he is usually the same as his uncle, and Yuan Chang doesn't bother to call him. And Lu Bu is almost the time to go to Hanoi, and when the military parade in Bohai County is over, Lu Bu can go on the road. When the time comes, Lu Bu will go to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to stir up the situation, so that Cao Cao and them will have a headache, and he will be able to develop slowly.

"Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao!"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

"Chen Liudian Hongfei!"

After Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei appeared in front of Mi Zhu and several people, Mi Zhu was surprised in his heart, as a businessman, his eyesight must be good, just at a glance, he could see that these three people were extraordinary. Guo Jia's momentum was not obvious, his face was as calm as water, and he was obviously a strategist with great wisdom; Zhao Yun and Dian Wei were amazingly imposing, not weaker than Tai Shici in the slightest, and they were obviously strong generals.

And Tai Shici, as a military general, was even more aware of the amazing momentum emanating from Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, which was even more surprised than Zhi Mi Zhu. He wondered, Yuan Chang seemed to be very ordinary, how could there be such a powerful general? At the moment, Tai Shici was even more interested in Yuan Chang, and secretly decided to observe Yuan Chang more, but he wanted to see what attracted Yuan Chang.

"Zizhong, Fengxiao is the lord of my Bohai County, Zilong is the county lieutenant, and Hong Fei is the deputy county lieutenant, you can find them for anything. If you want to eat, drink, and be merry, just come to me. ”

Hearing Yuan Chang say this, Guo Jia and their faces looked helpless, and Yuan Chang, the shopkeeper, seemed to be too irresponsible. And Mi Zhu and a few people were surprised, they didn't expect Yuan Chang to be such a character.

"My lord, the military parade has been prepared, I can invite a few guests to visit my military parade in Bohai County before talking about other matters. ”

Zhao Yun is the person in charge of the military parade, and there is no need to say this kind of thing now. However, Zhao Yun noticed that Tai Shici was extraordinary, and the appearance of such a character in Bohai County made people wonder. And Zhao Yun, although he didn't understand the purpose of Tai Shici's appearance in Bohai County, he thought that it would be a good idea to recruit the other party and let the other party see the strong strength of Bohai County.

"In that case, Zizhong, how about you visit my military parade in Bohai County together?"

Mi Zhu was not in a hurry to return to Xuzhou, and immediately arched his hand and said: "In this way, I will bother Yuan Taishou!"

"Yuan Chang boy, what's the big deal with you, you didn't even talk to my father!"

At this moment, a coquettish cheer sounded outside the door, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
