Chapter 869: Rumors of Cutting Yuan and Seeking Peace

"Faqiu, I'm glad to have you."

Cao Cao held Xi Zhicai's hand and looked moved.

10 million dollars, for the current Cao Cao, is really too timely.

In the face of Zhao Hui's threat, he looked optimistic, but in just a few days, there were many more gray hairs.

The urgency in his heart is only known to Cao Cao himself.

This money can allow Cao Cao to give full food and make weapons.

Newly recruited soldiers, their equipment is a big problem.

Sure enough, it's still a tomb robbery, and the money comes faster.

In just half a year, there was 10 million dollars.

Although there were several times when the tomb was excavated, the structure of the tomb was touched, causing the tomb to collapse and crushing many people to death.

But for Cao Cao, those people did not die in vain, and their deaths were valuable.

Because of them, Cao Cao had the capital to resist Zhao Hui.

"Serving the Lord, how hard is it."

Because of the mask, Xi Zhicai's voice changed a little, and even those who knew each other at the beginning could hardly hear his identity.

And Cao Cao is not calling his name now. Xi Zhicai is gone.

His family, Xun Yu Xun Yu and others, thought he was dead.

In this life, Xi Zhicai is not planning to appear in his true face.

He has already done such things, and if he recovers his true body, the name Xi Zhicai will also be stained in the end.

Even if he was forced by Cao Cao, no one would know.

Xi Zhicai, let him die of illness.

In the past six months, Xi Zhicai has also excavated the tomb in Yanzhou, there should be omissions, and in addition to other states, he estimates that this work will require him to sit for more than ten years.

Because it is necessary to keep the movement quiet, avoid being discovered during the excavation, and keep it secret, there are not many people who use it every time.

Even if the tombs of those kings were excavated, there were only a hundred people.

The team in the hands of Xi Zhicai is not very numerous.

Listening to Cao Cao's praise, there was no joy in his heart.

Xi Zhicai is long dead, he is now just a walking corpse who acts obediently, joy, sadness, anger, these emotions will not appear to him.

Every time the ancient tomb is excavated, it will make Xi Zhicai's whole person even darker.

Although he obeyed Cao Cao's orders and excavated the ancient tomb was also his suggestion, it was still difficult for Xi Zhicai to accept it when it really fell on him.

It's just that he is a smart man and knows the consequences of rejecting Cao Cao.

I only hope that his fake death can make this great causal sin not implicate his children and grandchildren, and let him bear all the consequences.

And looking at what Xi Zhi had only achieved for half a year, Cao Cao put aside the last bit of concern in his heart.

The money from the excavation of the tomb came quickly, and he had to continue for the sake of his great cause.

I can only say sorry to the owners of the large tombs that were dug up.

But Cao Cao definitely didn't feel guilty, his concern was just that he would be known and affect his reputation.

Excavating ancient tombs is very discrediting, if people know, then what is the difference between him and Dong Zhuo?

Among his subordinates, there will inevitably be many people who oppose Cao Cao.

Cao Cao excavated the graves of those people today, and after they died, would they also be excavated?

Think about how after you die, you will have to be dug up in a big tomb, someone will open the coffin, throw your body out, and take away the gold, silver and copper coins that accompany the burial.

No one can accept it.

In the city of Xudu, there are often sounds of fighting.

Corpses were thrown out of the city.

Full of pets and men and horses, they continued to search in the city.

As long as anyone who has entered the city recently, almost all of them have been monitored to varying degrees.

Although the fine works sent by Zhao Hui are all top-notch.

But Manpet is not a vegetarian, as Cao Cao's henchman, Manpet is very cool.

Those who fall into the hands of full favors almost do not end well.

There must have been those who were killed by mistake, but Cao Cao didn't care too much.

The dead people only came to Xudu recently, and they were alone, even if they died, they didn't come to investigate the trouble.

And after the hands, after the person is killed, the full pet can basically determine whether it is a detailed work.

The meticulous works sent by Zhao Hui are all masters, not only because of their espionage ability, but also because of their personal skills.

Everyone has undergone strict training, and ordinary people simply don't have the skills they have, so as long as they make a move, they can know whether the other party is Zhao Hui's fine work.

Unless they don't resist and stand and die.

But when these meticulous works were discovered, just seeing a group of soldiers surrounding their houses, they must have thought that their identities had been exposed, and the probability of them not resisting was very low, and they basically wanted to rush out, and if they really couldn't do it, they would commit suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.

Some of them don't have families, some have families, but they don't need to worry about their families.

If they do die, their families will only be better off than before, and they will not be left unlived.

"Prime Minister, although Yuan Tan has been closed these days, he smells the chickens and dances every day."

Man Zhong is sweeping away Xu Du's fine work, and at the same time monitoring Yuan Tan and other officials.

"Hehe, it's okay." Cao Cao laughed.

Yuan Tan spent more than a year in Xudu almost in ruin.

Now there is a chance to fight from Cao Cao, if there is no action, Cao Cao will be suspicious.

Yuan Tan's current behavior is normal in Cao Cao's eyes.

Practice martial arts diligently, go to the battlefield, and avenge blood.

This is what a son who wants to avenge his father should do now.

"There's one more thing." Full of pets.

Looking at the look of full favor, Cao Cao knew that it was not a good thing.

"What's the matter?"

"There have been rumors in the city recently that the prime minister will kill Yuan Tan and ask Zhao Hui for peace."

"Huh." Cao Cao sneered: "Where did the rumors first come from, maybe they found someone?" ”

If Yuan Tan is killed, it can be exchanged for peace, Cao Cao will not hesitate, he will directly send someone to send Yuan Tan's head to Zhao Hui.

Even if it may only be enough for a year of peace, it will be enough for Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao knew that this could not be.

Although Yuan Tan is the son of Yuan Shao, it is impossible to affect a war now.

If Zhao Hui really released this, it would just be one more reason to attack Yanzhou.

"For the time being, we haven't found the person who spread it first."

Man Chong shook his head, he has been staring at those suspicious people these days, and then personally led the team over to strangle them.

As for this rumor, when he knew about it, it had already spread on a small scale. It's a bit difficult to find the first source.

"Does Yuan Tan know?"

"It's closed these days, and I don't know about this rumor."

"Let's see how he reacts when he learns about the rumors." Cao Cao didn't really care.

If Yuan Tan cared and even listened to this rumor, he would really kill Yuan Tan first.
