"Stop!"

"Where to go!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a "poof", the person who had fled before was hit by an arrow in the back, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

"Take it away!" Then two men with steel knives on their waists came to this person's side, sandwiched them between the left and the right, and quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"What's going on?"

A man who didn't know the truth touched his head and muttered.

"What's going on?" A man next to him said enthusiastically, "Didn't you see that it was the government's arrest just now!" To be able to be captured by them with bows and crossbows is naturally a crime. ”

"The most important thing is that I heard that someone is spreading rumors in the city and has been pursued by the government for many days, so I want to come to this guy."

"Rumors?"

"It just shows that the prince doesn't respect His Majesty, and it's a big rebellion!"

"Huh? How is this possible? Ming Gong allowed us to be fed and clothed, and the ancient sages were nothing more than that. And didn't you hear that Gong is a god descending to earth? Your Majesty is comparable to an immortal! ”

"Isn't it, that's why it's called a rumor!"

……

"My lord, the suspect has been arrested and brought to justice, please show me!" The previous two catchers had already brought people to the mansion.

"Ming Gong has an order, all the suspects are put into custody, and wait for General Chu to take them away. Now let's take it down and lock it up! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Such scenes have occurred in Jizhou, Hanoi and other places, and as few as one or two people have been arrested, and as many as seven or eight people have been arrested.

"So many people?"

When Gongsun Du received the news in Kaiyang City, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Cao Mengde actually has so many dead soldiers, there are more than 300 people here!" ”

Then, as if thinking of something funny, he laughed again: "It's time to jump to the feet after losing so many dead soldiers at once!" ”

As he thought, although Cao Cao didn't jump when he received the news, he couldn't help but burst into foul language-

"These bastards don't even have a single one useful! Not to mention the completion of the mission, not even a single escape, really deserve to die! ”

After scolding and venting the anger in his heart, Cao Cao finally calmed down.

"The prime minister has long known that there is a dark line of Gongsun Du in the cities under his rule, so he will be careful to hide it when he deploys troops, and now it seems that this prime minister is still careless, as Gongsun Du's territory, how can it be less! Maybe more, in this way, sending people to spread rumors and make trouble is equivalent to sending them to death! ”

Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, and he quickly figured out the trick, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "I still think things are simpler, look down on this old friend!" ”

"That's it! Since that's the case, let's have a good head-on fight and see who is more powerful! ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and then Jia Xu was recruited.

"Wenhe, how did the original appearance make you do?"

"Back to the prime minister, everything has been prepared, just waiting for the big war to start." Jia Xu said, with a lot of hesitation on his face.

Cao Cao nodded, glanced at him, and said without any waves: "If you have anything to say, just say it, why bother to swallow it." ”

Jia Xu's face suddenly turned straight, and he arched his hand: "Prime Minister, all the people sent this time are gone, I'm afraid that the plan in the north will not have much effect." ”

A trace of waves flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and then disappeared, and he nodded, but did not reply.

Seeing this, Jia Xu got up and bowed his hand, and then withdrew.

Within two days, Xixian Bei Ke was able to retreat directly, and East Xianbei was defeated, and the news of the loss of more than 100,000 yuan was brought by Jia Xu again. Jia Xu saw that Cao Cao was silent and had the heart to leave, but he didn't have the guts, thought about it, and persuaded: "Prime Minister, although Xianbei was defeated, in the end it still contained a lot of Youzhou troops, which is beneficial to us, and after this battle, Xianbei suffered heavy losses, and the Youzhou army will not be without any damage." ”

Cao Cao seemed to be convinced, nodded, and said: "Although Xianbei was defeated, Huang Zhong, the first military general of the Han Dynasty, made a move, which can be regarded as containing the great strength of the Youzhou army." ”

After a pause, he said: "It's just that Xianbei is defeated, and Huang Zhong doesn't have to guard the border all the time, if Gongsun Du has to delay time, wait for his arrival to fight with Benxiang, there are many disadvantages." I don't know if Wen He can lure him into battle? ”

Jia Xu naturally had some thoughts in his heart, but he shook his head and said: "The wisdom and courage of Ming Gong are rare in the world, and I can't imagine any way to lure him to attack." ”

Cao Cao was not embarrassed, but asked people to invite Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others over.

The crowd came quickly, and Cao Cao was not verbose, first mentioning the news that had been sent back, and then asking the same question to the crowd.

Everyone couldn't think of a way, but more people were better, and they discussed it together for a long time and gave suggestions-

"If you want to make Ming Gong attack, you may be invited to fight by the Prime Minister's letter!"

"Huh?"

Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then said with great joy: "A leaf obstruction, a leaf obstruction!" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao picked up the pen and sent it to Kaiyang with his confidants.

Within two days, Gongsun Du received Cao Cao's letter and showed it to everyone, saying: "You see, Cao Cao can't help it. ”

"Hahaha~"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Guo Jia joked: "Xianbei was defeated, all the people who spread rumors were arrested, and all the plans were put into water, how can Cao Mengde not be in a hurry!" Hahaha! ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed again.

Chen Deng said again: "Besides, General Huang is the first military general of the Han Dynasty, and at this time, he will break Xianbei, if he takes advantage of the situation to go south, I'm afraid our Prime Minister Cao Cheng won't be able to bear it!" ”

"Ahaha......"

Laughter resumed. If you want to say that this Huang Zhong broke Xianbei, where to start?

But it was to say that Ke was the most high-minded, Huang Xu led the troops to pursue, returned one hundred and twenty miles, and the other side was treacherous, and he fled first. The two converged hundreds of miles north of Qiangyin City, preparing to collect the defeated army, reorganize the army and horses, or rebound Hanshan, or ......

However, Huang Zhong received news from the members of the Netherworld Reserve and waited here for a long time, waiting for his work to carry out a surprise attack on the Xianbei army, which was still in chaos. shouted the name of Huang Zhong again, and for a while, everyone who had heard of Huang Zhong's name left in a panic.

The Xianbei army is defeated again!

After that, Huang Zhong led the troops to pursue for a day and a night, and the Xianbei army lost most of the party.

Gongsun Du raised his hand slightly, and everyone laughed immediately.

"So, do you think we're going to fight?"

"Of course it's time to fight!" It was Zhang Fei, who had always been belligerent, who spoke.

"That's right, my subordinates seconded it!" When the rest of the generals saw that someone was taking the lead, they hurried to follow, especially Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals who had been plotted before.

Gongsun Du didn't say anything, just looked at Guo Jia and Chen Deng, who came a few days ago.

Speaking of which, it was also at this time that Gongsun Du remembered that Chen Deng had helped Liu Bei and Cao Cao to capture Xuzhou, and felt that if he wanted to take Xuzhou, he had to help him, so he hurriedly transferred him.

Guo Jia didn't hesitate, got up and said, "Duke Ming, my subordinates think they should respond." One, we're actually ready, just waiting for the moment to strike the fatal blow; Second, since Cao Cao invited him to fight, if he didn't, he would probably be laughed at by the world; Third, Cao Cao invited to fight at this time, when he was worried, if he responded, he could lower his vigilance, which can be said to be the right time. ”

"Okay, as Feng Xiao said, spread the news of a certain battle."

Gongsun Du clapped his hands and said, then looked at Chen Deng again, and said, "However, Cao Cao is extremely cunning, and the matter of Xuzhou still asks Yuanlong to bother more!" ”

"Ming Gong's words are serious, and his subordinates will do their best to seek Xuzhou for the Lord." Chen Deng got up and hurriedly responded.

Soon, the news of Gongsun Du's battle reached Cao Cao's ears, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wenhe, immediately send more people, and the prime minister must know every move of the Youzhou army, how far it has traveled every day, where it has been in the village, and then how to seize which cities."

"Yes, Prime Minister." Jia Xu's face was expressionless, but his heart was full of helplessness.

Two days later, Gongsun Du led his army south from Kaiyang City and captured Tan County, the city of Donghai County, in one fell swoop.

In the following two days, several cities such as Zhuqi, Licheng, and Qu County were taken down, and half of Donghai County was gone.

Half a month later, Gongsun Du took the entire territory of the East China Sea, and the trend of going south was immediately stopped.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be anxious, but he also understood that this practice of sitting back and watching the other party take the East China Sea made him suspicious, and he wanted to send people to increase his defense, but he was worried that he would add to the snake, so he could only be secretly anxious.
