"Oh? It turns out that you are not in Wu County, let me guess, the only thing that can make you dispatch must be the war, where did the battle start? ”

"The Imperial Court?"

Cao Cao seemed to be very interested in guessing, and first asked the court tentatively.

But he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, it won't be the imperial court, the plague was rampant some time ago, I heard that the imperial court has to rely on you to be able to treat those plagues, it shouldn't be wise to go against you at this time."

"That's Yuan Shao?"

Cao Cao himself rejected his own speculation, and then said another person.

"Yuan Shao has some possibilities, there is a shortage of food in winter, and he has a lot of soldiers and horses, but can his people fight with you? Didn't you attack Qingzhou? ”

"It shouldn't be, even if Yuan Shao is short of food, he can't grab any grain when he goes to Qingzhou, but it is more appropriate to rob the grain and grass of Jizhou in the imperial court, or to rob and annex the state."

Cao Cao guessed, but felt that he couldn't guess, but he still shook his head.

"Can't guess."

"Of course you can't guess Brother Mengde, because the person I went to deal with was not a Han person, but a Funan country in the southern extreme south."

"Funan?"

When Cao Cao heard these two words, he immediately frowned.

Although there are some contacts between Funan and the Han Dynasty, they are not state-to-state exchanges, and most of them are private business transactions between the people themselves, so although the country has been established for a hundred years, Funan is not very well known to many Han officials.

Although Cao Cao was an important minister of the imperial court, he still knew very little about things outside the Han Dynasty.

"Well, in the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, there is a country called Linyi State, which was established by some rebels of the Han Dynasty a few decades ago, and when I ruled Jiaozhou a few years ago, I put down the rebellion of the Han Dynasty and recovered some of the territories that originally belonged to the Han Dynasty."

"However, those remnants of the Linyi country did not give up, they colluded with foreign races and continued to disturb my frontier, in order to settle it once and for all, I made up my mind to lead tens of thousands of troops to expedition to Funan, which was delayed for more than half a year."

These words, coming out of Liu Zheng's mouth, may make people laugh, but when Cao Cao heard it, he admired Liu Zheng very much.

Because Cao Cao is also a Hanchen who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, at least now he still has a strong loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

When the northern aliens invaded, Cao Cao did his best to pull out the cavalry under his command and drive the northern aliens out of the territory of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that Cao Cao is also thinking of killing those who are not of my race.

At this point, Cao Cao and Liu Zheng have the same attitude.

"Brother Liu, in this matter, I have to say, you have done a lot, those who are not of my race, their hearts must be different, and it is the most correct to be able to kill them all, so that they can be remembered for decades and dare not mess around."

"Well, let's not talk about this, let's talk about you, Brother Mengde. How have you been in the past six months? ”

Of course, Liu Zheng knew that Cao Cao had not had a good time in the past six months, but as a concern, he still asked like this, otherwise the topic would not have been able to develop.

said that he was good, Cao Cao's face immediately turned wrong, and he smiled bitterly.

"Brother Liu, you locked me up here, and asked me how I am, don't detain me anymore, give me a good time, or if you don't want to kill me, just let me go, it's not a way for you to lock me up here."

"Mengde, it's not that I don't want to let you go, it's that your threat is too great. You also know that if I let you go, it will be difficult for me to catch you if you raise troops again in the future. ”

"I didn't expect my Cao Cao to be such a big threat in the eyes of Brother Liu, I don't know if I should feel honored."

"That must be, the heroes of the world, only Mengde and Zheng'er."

When Liu Zheng said this, it was obviously something that Cao Cao didn't realize, and his gaze when he looked at Liu Zheng again became a little complicated.

From Liu Zheng's words, Cao Cao can know that Liu Zheng really takes him very seriously, but now it seems that there is only one way to surrender.

However, Cao Cao still has more backbone and doesn't want to be a surrenderer, so he endured it and didn't say the words of surrender.

Liu Zheng saw the trace of complexity in Cao Cao's eyes, and pretended to sound something at this time.

"By the way, Brother Meng De, there is a person I think is necessary for you to meet."

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"He said his name was Cao Ang."

"Come on, bring people in."

When Liu Zheng said the word Cao Ang, Cao Cao's face sank, and immediately the expression on his face was a little wrong.

Especially when Liu Zheng said that he brought people in, it made Cao Cao's body tremble even more. A young man of twenty years old walked in from the outside.

The young man, dressed in prison uniform, was escorted into the courtyard by two guards, and as soon as he entered, Cao Cao's expression changed drastically.

"Ang'er!"

"Father!"

When the father and son met, their emotions were extremely moving, Cao Cao rushed to Cao Ang's side quickly, and Cao Ang also pounced in front of Cao Cao at this time.

The two hugged each other, Cao Cao had more feelings for his son, especially Cao Ang, who was the most favorite of Cao Cao among his many sons.

"Brother Meng De, it turns out that this person is really your son, a few days ago, my subordinates caught a group of thieves in the city, I wanted to kill him, but he said that he is your son, as a friend, I didn't kill him, I want to let you recognize it first, in case it is really your son, I can sell you a face, let him go."

Liu Zheng didn't want to use such a means to get Cao Cao to take refuge in himself.

However, Cao Cao obviously had no intention of surrendering himself, so he could only make this decision.

Cao Cao, Cao Ang's father and son met, and after their emotions calmed down, when they heard Liu Zheng's words, Cao Cao also turned his head and thanked Liu Zheng first.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for taking my child's life."

"You're welcome, since it's Brother Meng De's son, that's the virtuous nephew, then let him go back, someone will take Cao Ang back to the prison and lock him up."

Liu Zheng's face became flat.

How smart Cao Cao is, you can hear Liu Zheng's meaning from Liu Zheng's words, since he is not his own person, then Cao Cao's son will also follow Cao Cao to suffer.

Cao Cao can ignore his own safety, but with his own son suffering with him here, Cao Cao will still think about it more.

"Brother Liu, slow down!"

"Oh? What else does Brother Meng De have to say? ”

"I want to say, it's not a way for Brother Liu to keep me locked up here, let's talk about how to release me, this topic."
