Day 2.

Cao Cao rode a tall horse to the courtyard where Liu Wei lived before his death.

He looked preoccupied, and his eyes flashed a little gloomy.

There is no other reason, mainly because I feel that Cheng Yu's plan is too cautious.

Cheng Yu said that if the general wants to compete with the princes of the world, he must first keep a low profile and save strength......

This did not suit Cao Cao's intentions, he was afraid that he would not be able to wait that long.

As soon as Liu Wei died, Cao Cao's heart also changed, and he was inexplicably more impetuous, and he couldn't wait to become strong immediately and trample the princes all over the world under his feet.

While thinking wildly, Cao Cao came to the gate of the courtyard, only to see that the gate was open, but there was no guard.

What's going on?

Cao Cao frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Someone!"

Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and shouted at the courtyard.

No one responded, except for the hot wind.

Cao Cao strode into the courtyard and chuckled in his heart.

Not good! The woman ran away!

But...... Where have all the guards in this courtyard gone?

Cao Cao's mind was in a hurry, but he couldn't think of a reason.

When he came to the main house, Cao Cao still didn't see a single figure, but saw a white silk hanging quietly on the beam.

Cao Cao's first thought when he saw Bai Aya was

- The woman is dead!

But how can a person not see a body when he dies?

Cao Cao's face was full of suspicion, and he walked around the house and didn't find anything, so he came to the backyard again, only to see two new tombs standing in the backyard.

Could this be the imperial ...... Liu Wei and the woman's grave?

Whose grave would this be for the two of them?

Those guards?

Cao Cao analyzed what happened in the past few days one by one, but he couldn't figure it out.

He felt that the only possibility was that it was those armorers.

But why are they all gone?

Could it be that he absconded in fear of sin?

Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, but he was faintly inclined to this possibility.

He simply didn't want to do this, the disappearance of more than 100 armorers was a trivial matter, and how to deal with the aftermath was a major matter. If people know how Liu Wei and Tang Ji died in Chenliu, then he Cao Cao will be unlucky.

Cao Cao walked out of the courtyard quickly, flew on his horse and returned home.

Back at the house, Cao Cao issued several orders:

"Search for the fleeing guards with all your might!"

"Send someone to the guarded hometowns and bring all their families!"

"Martial law in the whole city! Only in but not out! ”

……

Subsequently, Cao Cao found Cheng Yu again and told him about the guard's escape.

Cheng Yu glanced at Cao Cao and didn't say anything, just looked at Cao Cao quietly.

"Tell me, Zhongde, why did the guards escape? Will anyone get in the way? ”

Cao Cao was a little anxious, and couldn't help urging.

"Huh." Cheng Yu smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "General, it's better not to break some words." ”

What does that mean? Is it ......?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Cheng Yu, he knew that with Cheng Yu's intelligence, he had already guessed what he had done.

In Cheng Yu's view, there are two doubts in this matter: if Liu Wei, who was forced to death by the slain soldier Aliu, Cao Cao would never kill him so simply, he was likely to carry the bag for someone, and this person was likely to be Cao Cao; Then the guards would never run away for no reason, and perhaps the reason why they fled was because they did not want to follow in the footsteps of Ah Liu.

"Hey......" Cao Cao sighed and sighed, "I regret it now, and my intestines are blue." Zhongde, as soon as the guards escape, the news will inevitably leak, how should this be? ”

This speaks to the most worrying thing in his heart, which is what he is most concerned about at the moment.

"General, the matter has come to this point, there is only one way."

"What's the solution?"

"Spread the word to the world, and it will be said that the emperor and the queen were both killed."

Cheng Yu said lightly.

"Don't wait any longer?"

"We can't wait any longer, and we have to be quick, before the news leaks out."

Cao Cao frowned, and said helplessly: "I understand, but ...... I'm really unwilling, are you going to lie dormant like this? ”

"General, dormancy is not a bad thing, as long as the strength is strong, the general will definitely be able to come first and dominate the world."

Cheng Yu arched his hand and comforted.

"That's all it can be."

Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Yu to step back.

At this moment, a soldier shouted outside the door: "General Yu, Taishou Zhang Miao asks to see." ”

"Zhang Miao? What is he here for? ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu understood, turned around and sat down again, and said lightly: "General, Zhang Miao and Wang Kuang have been fighting to the death recently. Zhang Miao is here, he must be asking for help. ”

"Oh? Hehe......" Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand towards the door, "Teach him to come in." ”

"Yes!" The armor man turned to leave, the armor on his body rattling.

is just a soldier, but he is armed to the teeth, which shows Cao Cao's strength. He just didn't have as many troops as the other princes, and in terms of combat power, Cao Cao's army was much stronger than the other princes.

After a while, Zhang Miao walked in quickly, bowed to Cao Cao and saluted: "Brother Mengde!" Please save so-and-so. ”

In terms of official position, Zhang Miao is Chen Liutaishou, and his rank is still above Cao Cao, a military captain, but Cao Cao occupies more than half of Chen Liujun's territory, but Zhang Miao has no choice.

This can be seen that Cao Cao's strength is above Zhang Miao.

The troubled times have begun, and only strength is the most important.

Cao Cao squinted at Zhang Miao, slowly got up and came to Zhang Miao, and said with a false support to Zhang Miao: "Meng Zhuo, don't be polite. Hehe...... Are you in trouble? Come on, come on, sit down and talk. ”

Zhang Miao saw Cao Cao's unhurried appearance, his heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

He walked to the desk opposite Cheng Yu in three or two steps, bowed his hand to Cheng Yu again, and then sat down.

Cheng Yu returned the salute, just smiled slightly, and did not speak.

"Brother Meng De, Wang Kuang suddenly sent troops to attack a certain city. It happened suddenly, and he couldn't resist it for a while, coupled with Wang Kuang's dog thief who was as cunning as a fox, he had already lost more than ten cities in a row. If this continues, it won't be long before the dog thief will hit Brother Mengde's territory. ”

Zhang Miao said with a crying voice, and scolded Wang Kuang a few more words after speaking.

"Wang Kuang has such a big guts?"

Cao Cao didn't answer Zhang Miao's words, and asked rhetorically.

The battle between Wang Kuang and Zhang Miao, Cao Cao knew the reason, and it was not what Zhang Miao said at all.

Zhang Miao only occupied less than half of Chen's territory, and was next to Wang Kuang in Hanoi, and he had no way to take Cao Cao, so he hit Wang Kuang's head with his idea. Zhang Miao led the main force of elite troops, quietly drove to the border of Hanoi County, and suddenly launched an attack, but was defeated by Wang Kuang and returned.

Wang Kuang had such a good mouth, of course he refused to let go of Zhang Miao, so he began to capture Zhang Miao's territory......
