On this side, Xu Ding and Cao Cao really sent troops, of course, the total number of soldiers and horses did not exceed 40,000, but the banner was very mysterious, claiming to be an army of 400,000 on land and water, deliberately transmitting news to Guanzhong and Sizhou, and even Hedong and Hanoi next to it were also alarmed.

"Berkang, isn't our march a little slower!" Cao Cao found that this time the acting seemed to be excessive, Xu Ding really took him to crusade against Dong Zhuo, this is forty miles out of Chenliu County, and he will arrive at Xingyang Tiger Prison if he goes forward.

"Slow? Don't be slow, Meng De, our army of 400,000, of course the marching speed can't be too fast, otherwise Dong Zhuo's old thief won't recognize us. Xu Ding replied with a more serious face.

I......

Cao Cao's face twitched involuntarily.

Bokang, Bokang, you are not honest, so I will continue to act with you.

So the army continued to set out, and soon marched to the Tiger Pass.

The Tiger Prison has long since lost its momentum and become extremely dilapidated, and no one has repaired and rectified it for many years, and the weeds have grown taller than people.

The army set up camp, and soon Cao Cao came over and asked Xu Ding: "Bokang, tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

Cao Cao brought wine when he came, although it is not allowed to drink alcohol when marching and fighting, but Lao Cao knew that this time he was out for a walk, and there would be no battle at all.

Xu Ding took the wine and took a small sip in his mouth, Cao Cao's wine, he really didn't dare to compliment, if he changed Donglai's wine, he would definitely drink an urn happily with Cao Cao.

"Hmmm! What is the change in the north-south direction of Mengde, does someone have the idea of hitting your Yanzhou? Xu Ding showed a hint of cunning.

The reason why Cao Cao was willing to accompany him to act in this play was purposeful, not only to share the interests of the Black Mountain Army from him, but also to take the opportunity to check the forces in Yanzhou that were causing trouble, and to see if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would covet his Yanzhou and attack him.

This is a good opportunity, and if you don't take advantage of it, you won't be Lao Cao.

"Hehe, I can't hide anything from Berkang." Cao Cao smiled and said, "I can't see the problem for the time being, but some guys are really restless, I think there will be some results soon!" ”

Xu Ding nodded slightly, and then said: "So Meng De, we have to continue to advance westward, the Tiger Prison Pass is still too close to Chen Liujun, so it is difficult for others to start." ”

"Ahem! Bokang is almost there, I think it's okay for the troops to stop here, you tell your brother the truth, are you going to take over the Montenegrin army in Taihang Mountain. Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding with burning eyes.

This time you can't pretend to be crazy and stupid.

"Montenegrin Army, what Montenegrin Army, Meng De, don't make trouble, where did the Montenegrin Army come from?" Xu Ding shook his head like a rattle, and then showed a bright-eyed expression and said:

"Huh! Meng De, when you say this, I have a good idea, why don't we divide the troops? ”

"Ahem! Division? "Cao Cao is about to cry, why do you have to divide your troops every time you go out to fight with Xu Ding.

Xu Ding played this set too much, and he divided his troops at every turn.

Xu Dingdao: "That's right, it's the division of troops, just now Meng De, you reminded me, we divided our troops into Hanoi, and first attacked Hedong from the Yumai Keiguan Pass in Taihang Mountain, attacked Huayin in the southeast, broke through the pass in one fell swoop, and captured Dong Zhuo alive. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Then what kind of division method is Bokang going to use!" ”

"Of course it's the old rule, Meng De, you lead the foot soldiers to attract Dong Zhuo head-on, I will lead the cavalry and elite to make a detour to attack Hedong, you and I cooperate seamlessly, and it should be a good story!" Xu Ding said with a smile.

I......

Bokang, Bokang, you still haven't changed, this has not changed, it is still the same as back then.

Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Bokang, this time I said that I won't be separated from you, and I will have meat to eat with you, otherwise our army will run out of food and grass, and there will be no way to go north to Luoyang, and we will not be able to attract Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses." ”

Bokang, you can honestly admit it, you are here for the Montenegrin Army, and I don't want much, just give it to a population of 100,000 people, and you can't work in vain.

"Meng De, you and I can't all go to Hanoi to fight Hedong, so Dong Zhuo didn't see the flaws at a glance, and you didn't rush to Hangu Pass all at once, you can come slowly, the summer harvest has just ended, Meng De, it's not right for you to cry poor with me." Xu Ding shook his head and also refused.

Cao Cao will not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Montenegrin army, and the population affairs must not be allowed.

Cao Cao continued to cry and said: "Bokang, you have mountains of gold and silver, but I don't, my summer grain has all paid off my old debts, but I am not as chic as you, I expect to drink soup with you?" ”

Xu Ding smiled and pointed at Cao Cao, and finally had to say, "Mengde!" Meng De, are you afraid that I will not succeed in doing it alone, rest assured that I will do things, you can rest assured, I don't want to take half of the credit for attacking Dong Zhuo this time, so I still say the same thing, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, I will also give you a mountain of gold and silver, how about you buy white paper, mosquito coils, monosodium glutamate, flower water, folding fans, celadon and so on from me in the future, of course, you can not get these goods to my business scope for low-price vicious competition, how? ”

White paper, mosquito coils, monosodium glutamate, toilet water, folding fans, celadon and so on are all six folds to get the goods, to a good plan.

With this price advantage, he can send people to sell it to Guanzhong and Bingzhou, or his own Yanzhou, which is indeed a way to accumulate wealth through business.

Especially the white paper, the price was really high in the past, and now it is six folds, and with the printing technology recently announced by Xu Ding, you can also print newspapers and books, which can save a lot of money.

This is the exchange of interests, whether to choose the people of the Montenegrin Army or choose a trade route to get rich.

Cao Cao thought for a while and finally said, "Okay, Bokang, what are you talking about?" ”

"Haha, this is the right hemp, this is the bold Mengde I know." Xu Ding patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said, "Come, let's continue drinking!" In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, he did it. ”

Cao Cao's face twitched, but he still raised his glass and dried it up.

The next day, the army was divided into two parts, Cao Cao's troops remained in Xingyang, and Xu Ding took his soldiers and horses to the north towards the Yellow River.

Seeing that Xu Ding and the other army left, Liu Ye said: "Lord, this Weihai is really not willing to give an inch, and the interests of the Montenegrin Army are not willing to give in at all, which is really a bit overbearing." ”

Cao Cao said: "It's okay, Bo Kang at least let a lot of benefits to me, this time although I didn't get anyone, but I can get Donglai's in-demand goods at a low price, which is enough to reflect his sincerity, and the more he refuses to let us meddle in the affairs of the Montenegrin Army, it can only mean that he has talked about it with the Montenegrin Army. The beauty of man, how can I spoil the good deeds of Berkang. ”

Damn, what you said is even more shameless than Xu Ding, Liu Ye can be regarded as knowing the reason why Xu Ding and Cao Cao are so good, a raccoon dog.

"I just don't know how he wants to convince Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang won't be able to borrow the way, otherwise Yuan Shao won't bypass him." Liu Ye was half-staring, looking like he was watching a good show.

Now Zhang Yang is nominally Yuan Shao's subordinate, and Hanoi belongs to Yuan Shao's sphere of influence. Can Zhang Yang let Xu Ding go over, and can he let the Black Mountain Army go out of the mountain?

Cao Cao said with a smile: "You said that Bokang is sometimes very domineering, how can Zhang Yang put it in his eyes, just give it, if you don't give it, you will beat it, and if you fight, the people of Hanoi will be lost again, well, notify it, immediately transfer grain to Dongjun, guide the people to enter, and settle down." ”

Belch......

Liu Ye looked at Cao Cao with strange eyes, no wonder he agreed so happily, it turned out that he was targeting the people under Zhang Yang's rule.
