Chapter 55: Flattened
Some people like to be cozy, while others are adventurous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cao Cao is the latter kind of person, like the rescue of the abolished emperor now, ordinary people may be nervous under pressure, will lose everything and do not do well, but Cao Cao is the more stressed, the calmer, and even enjoy the stimulation given under this pressure.
Cao Cao returned home alone, returned to the room after using the late breast, drove everyone out, and thought alone.
It was getting late, and Cao Cao didn't light candle wax, and a pair of small eyes under his thick eyebrows shone faintly in the night, as if there was a flame burning in the pupils.
Cao Cao also really attracted some soldiers during this period of time as a lieutenant in the West Garden, this time, Cao Cao considered again and again, and deliberately selected a group of personnel to participate, although there are not many, but it can be said that these people are either favored by Cao Cao, or by the Cao family, basically put an end to the possibility of rebellion.
Moreover, Cao Cao's banner of righteousness and the huge reward after the promise was fulfilled also stimulated the courage of these people.
The verbal promise of the future is that there will be some effect, but this is not comparable to the actual benefit of being able to hold it in his hands immediately, Cao Cao knew this very well, so in the past few days, he cashed out all the things that could be realized in his home, and exchanged them for silver money to reward these soldiers who were ready to fight with him, as the cost of settling in for these people.
Can those who achieve great things be stingy? The silver and heavy copper coins were carried into his arms, and the huge future benefits promised by Cao Cao himself, the two-pronged approach could ensure that these people would not drop the chain at the critical moment.
A few old people who have served for a long time in the family, Cao Cao plans to send out the city to do something tomorrow, and when the time comes, these people will have the opportunity to escape directly, of course, some people may come back, then it depends on the creation of these people.
After all, it is impossible for Cao Cao to inform these subordinates of the matter now, and it is already based on so many years of hard work to be able to make some arrangements.
As for those newcomers, younger subordinates and slaves, so be it, how can you take care of all the details if you want to achieve great things?
There was already some cold in the autumn night, but Cao Cao didn't feel cold at all, and the burning flame of ambition in his heart made him happy.
After carefully scrutinizing all the details of tomorrow again, Cao Cao went to the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a short time.

Next.
It was late then, and the smoke of the cooking stove rose from every household to prepare their own dinner.
Yuan Shu had dark circles under his eyes, looking at the plate of beef specially prepared for him in front of him, although he didn't have much appetite, but thinking about it, he didn't know when he would be able to eat the next meal, so he still grabbed a few pieces, and hurriedly chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed them.
This is a relatively dilapidated small courtyard in the south of the city near the city gate.
The south of Luoyang City is close to Luoshui, so it is a place for the distribution of goods, and it is also more chaotic and noisy, basically living here are some relatively poor people, belonging to the slum area of Luoyang City.
There were already a lot of people in the courtyard, some wearing cloth clothes, some wearing military armor, don't look at the number of people, but they didn't say a word, and they were quietly waiting for Yuan Shu's order in the courtyard.
These people are all Yuan Shu's private soldiers, and the earliest people have been following Yuan Shu for nearly six years, and the latest is more than a year. The offerings of Nanyang County that Yuan Shu obtained every year were basically spent on these people.
Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, it was all at this hour, why hadn't Cao Apu appeared yet?
It can't be an escape, right?
Damn it, how is this going to be?
The arrow is already on the string, can't it be withdrawn?
At that moment, a guard walked in from outside the door of the house, holding a letter in his hand, saying that someone had just arrived here.
Yuan Shu grabbed the letter, opened it twice, and opened it to look at it, only to see a few words on the letter, writing: "I have arrived, act according to the plan." The word "concealment" is drawn on the lower paragraph.
Yuan Shu wanted to scold after reading the letter, but he still held back, didn't he make an appointment to meet in this place? Now I wrote a few words and said that you have arrived, where are you? I didn't see anyone, and I still want to do what I want......
――But that's fine.
Yuan Shu snorted, originally worried that Cao Cao would find out that he couldn't work when he attacked Nangong with him, but now since Cao Cao refused to come, he naturally couldn't find any flaws in Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu subconsciously wanted to find a candle to burn the letter, but immediately stopped, rolled his eyes twice, and casually threw the letter under the table, stood up, and walked out of the door.
All eyes in the courtyard were suddenly focused on Yuan Shu, who had just walked out of the door.
Yuan Shu didn't say anything at first, but straightened the crown, and then bowed deeply to everyone in the courtyard, and a group of people in the courtyard also hurriedly returned the salute to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu straightened up and made a gesture to go, and everyone in the courtyard walked out of the front and back doors in groups, gradually blending into the street......
Yuan Shu and a few personal guards walked out at the rear, just now the private soldiers in the courtyard just went to take advantage of the chaos to seize the south gate and ensure Yuan Shu's retreat, and now he has to go to Zhang Xiao and join Zhang Xiao's armor to attack Nangong, although Yuan Shu knows in his heart that attacking Nangong is just a show, and Zhang Xiao and his people are also throwing out to attract firepower, but after all, if you want to do a full set, isn't it?
In a private house not far away, Cao Cao squinted through the slightly open window and watched Yuan Shu and a few personal guards go away.
Yuan Highway doesn't look like he's scolding me this time, but he's really going to do it?
It was only at this moment that Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shu had really gathered so many people to act, and his suspicion of Yuan Shu was slightly reduced.
Even if Yuan Shu has thousands of reasons, no matter how reasonable he says, Cao Cao has some doubts in his heart, after all, this kind of thing is not like eating a meal and drinking wine, there is room for redemption if he makes a mistake, this is a robbery of the emperor, although Liu Wei is only a deposed emperor now, but after all, it is the only one in the world?
Moreover, Cao Cao compared to Yuan Shu, in addition to having an advantage in the palace, is far from being at a disadvantage in terms of manpower, if he acts with Yuan Shu, if Yuan Shu suddenly changes, he will inevitably be caught off guard, which Cao Cao has to guard.
Who let Yuan Shu and Cao Cao be so incompatible before?
Now let Yuan Shu attack Nangong first to attract the attention of the city defenders, and then he will lead his hands to break through Yong'an Palace and take the abolished emperor Liu Wei away......
As for Yuan Shu's safety......
Cao Cao stood behind the window, bowed to Yuan Shu who was far away, and said, "Highway, this time it will be even if you and I have leveled it!" ”
After that, Cao Cao turned around and walked out of the private house, and led a few people straight to the Yong'an Palace in the northeast corner......
