The Runan Yellow Turban calmed down quite quickly, and Cao Cao did not make any more significant achievements during this time.

Cao Cao, who was sitting in the military tent to deal with military affairs, suddenly had a pain in his head for no reason, he felt as if he had missed something, but there was no way to be sure.

Putting down the pen and reaching out to rub his temples, Cao Cao wondered if it was his recent lack of sleep.

"Mengde, there's news from the court."

A figure scurried into the tent from outside the tent, bringing in a gust of wind, which soothed Cao Cao's headache a little.

The person who came was Xiahou Dun, who has always been mature and steady, but his expression today is a little resentful, this situation is still rare, Cao Cao did not blame him for his recklessness in coming, but was more curious about what the news from the court was, which would make Yuan Rang so dissatisfied.

Although Cao Cao has a lot of generals now, there is still a relative shortage of talents, and more important things like delivering news can only be handed over to Xiahoudun to do.

Others are either too qualified, or they are not stable enough, and if they think about it, Xiahoudun is more suitable.

So now Xiahoudun is still leading the army and serving as the center of the news network, and when there is a suitable candidate, he will still unload Xiahoudun's burden.

"Yuan let me not be anxious, sit down and speak slowly."

Cao Cao moved his ass out of the way a bit, making room for Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun, who was panting, sat down and slowed down before telling Cao Cao the news he had received.

"The Liu Bei Liu Xuande we saw at the banquet last time was sent by Dong Zhuo to escort the prisoners, and I don't know what shit luck I stepped on, but he was able to face the saint!"

The more Xiahoudun thought about it, the more outrageous it became.

"Just by virtue of the identity of the Han clan, the emperor will give him a general who is more than two thousand stones, and there is a place to guard, it is really partial! Meng De, you govern well, and you have made such great military achievements, but you still haven't given you a general! I am! Hum! This emperor really doesn't know talents! ”

Xiahoudun felt aggrieved in his heart, Cao Cao has been with him since his debut, Cao Cao's governance of the place, the handling of various government affairs, and the talent and talent of marching and fighting are all excellent in his opinion.

Every time Cao Cao was promoted, he took it for granted.

This time to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao's achievements are also great achievements that he thinks, but how can he let an unknown descendant live for the latecomer.

In particular, Xiahoudun saw the arguments related to the Han clan in the news, and was even more sure that Liu Bei relied on the name of the Han clan to get this treatment, but Cao Cao, a meritorious minister, was still left out in the cold, and he was naturally angry in his heart.

"Harm ......"

Cao Cao smiled and patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, only to know that his brother was angry for himself.

"It's okay, I have also heard of Brother Xuande's deeds, 500 Xiangyong broke the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, and he is also very brave, and he is often the vanguard in the Jizhou battlefield, and he never shirks when he charges into battle, and he will be a pillar of the country in the future, Yuan Rang does not need to be so angry."

Cao Cao thought about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he continued to appease Xiahoudun.

"This is just a relatively early exchange of merits, and when our class teacher returns to the court, I believe that the court will also have a reward."

Continuing to gently pat Xiahou Dun's shoulder, the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"However, Yuan Rang, you tell me the details of the news that came."

I have to say that although the force is still very weak, Cao Cao's people still inquired about it from a few words at the court meeting, and the key points were not missed.

Cao Cao quietly listened to some of Liu Bei's words in the court.

"Something isn't right......"

Cao Cao suddenly fell into deep thought, and he had a hunch that Liu Bei's behavior was something that someone was guiding him, not something that Liu Bei himself would choose to do.

Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Bei, after knowing about them, Cao Cao still got to know the three brothers more or less, and always paid attention to talents, which was a common thing for Cao Cao.

Suddenly, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something.

There were some coincidences, but it wasn't unrelated, and it seemed to have been unexpected by Cao Cao.

"Yuan Rang, do you remember when Chen Chen escorted those professors back from Yingchuan?"

That premonition became stronger and stronger, and Cao Cao was uneasy.

"Huh?"

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, wasn't he still talking about Liu Bei? Why did you suddenly get involved with that little boy?

"The son of the Chen family separated from us ten days ago and set off from Yingchuan to return to Luoyang."

"When did you arrive in Luoyang?"

Cao Cao asked, his premonition so strong that the headache he had just relieved was a sign of recurrence.

"According to the guards who returned home, it was about four days ago."

"Then when did Liu Bei go to court?"

"Just the day before yesterday."

Xiahoudun tried to relate what Cao Cao asked, but found nothing wrong, and he felt that Cao Cao's state was a little strange.

Based on what I know about him, this state seems to rarely appear in Cao Cao, and this feeling seems to be ...... Chagrin?

"Chen Chen and Liu Bei have ever met?"

Cao Cao slowly asked what he had guessed, he had no reason or evidence to suspect that the person who helped Liu Bei make a plan was Chen Chen, but his heart was telling him that this was possible, and the possibility was extremely high, this was his intuition.

"The son of the Chen family met Liu Bei on the way back to Luoyang, and then the escort team went back to Luoyang with Liu Bei's prisoner army, and they said it was safe."

Xiahoudun thought about it and remembered this detail, but he felt that what was there, it was still good to rub other people's guards, at least he would not encounter problems to reduce his own soldiers.

"Ahem......"

Cao Cao coughed suddenly, he felt that he should have missed something, he had always been very confident, but he didn't expect that he had broken his head in Yingchuan Academy in order to find talents, but talents were actually by his side.

He suddenly recalled that when Chen Chen stayed with him, his thoughts at that time seemed very strange.

He felt as if there was a sense of inducement that made him despise Chen Chen, and despise this person who should not be despised.

Cao Cao's intuition told him that Liu Bei was able to get such a reward and treatment, and it had nothing to do with Chen Chen.

Because Liu Bei didn't have anyone who looked like a literati to give him advice when he went to the banquet, it was impossible to pick up a strategist on the road after escorting a prisoner car once, right?

As a result, he still sent him Chen Chen?

Cao Cao suddenly regretted why he didn't continue to tie Chen Chen up in the army on the grounds of insecurity, and then bring him back together when he was victorious, even if Chen Chen was not the one who gave Liu Bei advice, Cao Cao would not lose anything by doing so.

Cao Cao: I'm a dog, I give talents to others!

Liu Bei: Hehe, I'll get one point first, but ..... Lao Cao, do you look down on me? Why can't I be my own thoughts?

Cao Cao: Just you?
