Wang Lei didn't take the look in Xu Ding's eyes to heart, his eyes turned and fell on Cao Cao, and said: "I heard that Brother Meng De is leading troops to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou, I don't know what the result is."

Cao Cao sighed lightly and said: "Thank you, Brother Xian, for caring about the many Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou, it is difficult to solve it for a while, and it is a long-term matter to exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou, it is difficult to achieve the effect for a while, not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

Wang Lei smiled and nodded: "The pattern of Yanzhou is too small after all."

When Cao Cao heard this, a light flashed in his narrow eyes

Wang Lei's words can be said to be something in his words

Cao Cao is thoughtful, and he is also a person who is moody and invisible, and said lightly: "Although the sparrow is small, Yanzhou is not as rich as Jizhou, and there are no outstanding people like Jizhou, but the victory is unanimous, and there is no internal friction in the outside world, which is more beneficial to me, and I don't have to be constrained in everything."

Wang Lei gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Meng De is really not simple"

Cao Cao said: "The virtuous brother is young, but it is not easy to take charge of the entire Jizhou"

Wang Lei said directly: "But Brother Meng De doesn't have any ideas about Qingzhou?"

Cao Cao had a puzzled look in his heart, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, why did Wang Lei not mention the matter of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan when he saw Wang Lei this time, but he kept holding on to Qingzhou

For a while, Cao Cao couldn't guess Wang Lei's thoughts

Cao Cao said with the same response, neither humble nor arrogant: "Yanzhou and Qingzhou border, I and Qingzhou are colleagues, both are officials appointed by the Son of Heaven, if I lead troops to attack Qingzhou, isn't this against the order of the Son of Heaven, I never think of myself as a moral saint, but loyal to the Son of Heaven, loyal to the Han family, will not be a chaotic minister and thief."

Wang Lei nodded and said: "Attacking Qingzhou to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves who are in turmoil is also loyal to the Son of Heaven."

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, Wang Lei, is this digging a pit for him to jump

This kid is very cunning and can't be fooled

Cao Cao said: "Many things in Yanzhou have not been handled well, how can I have the energy to take care of the affairs of Qingzhou, now Yanzhou has encountered a major event, Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan came to Ye County to participate in the discussion of Taoism and martial arts, but in the end, they were imprisoned in Ye County by the virtuous brother, resulting in the inability to return to Yanzhou, please be accommodating to the virtuous brother."

Wang Lei sighed lightly and said, "Brother Meng De, do you know what Cheng Yu has done?"

"I don't know," Cao Cao shook his head

Wang Lei felt a burst of contempt in his heart, Cao Cao, this guy is really thick-skinned

It is impossible for Cao Cao not to know about Cheng Yu's affairs, but now he pretends not to know

But this is also convenient for Wang Lei to make trouble

Wang Lei swept Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan snorted and said in a deep voice: "Brother Meng De, Cheng Yu participated in the Daoist and Martial Arts Conference, recruiting talents in Ye County, I have no objection, the talents in the world are all gathered under the command of virtuous people, as the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao help more and those who lose the Tao help less, and they don't serve me, it is my lack of virtue."

"It's just that the scholar is willing to work for me, but Cheng Yu poisoned and coerced the scholar to let the scholar slander me"

"It's irritating"

Wang Lei said angrily: "If it weren't for Brother Meng De's sake, I would definitely escort Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan to the venue of the Daoist Conference, and behead them in front of all the scholars of the Daoist Conference to eliminate the hatred in my heart."

Cao Cao sneered, this matter was indeed the fault of Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan

Cheng Yu was too reckless and not concealed enough

Cao Cao smiled with an apologetic expression: "Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan can save their lives, thank you for the help of the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother is kind-hearted, for the sake of the brother everywhere, thank you for the brother here, thank you for the virtuous brother"

Wang Lei waved his hand and said: "I have been friends with Brother Meng De for many years, this is not enough to worry about, I am angry that Cheng Yu is doing this, obviously wanting me to have a conflict with my brother, which is hateful and annoying."

"Yes is really hateful"

Cao Cao nodded again and again and followed Wang Lei's words

Wang Lei's expression gradually calmed down and said: "Cheng Yu has caused a lot of trouble for Brother Meng De, but after all, he is Brother Meng De's person, to put it mildly, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, I will not pursue these two people."

Cao Cao took a deep breath to calm his mood and arched his hand: "Brother Xian is reasonable, thank you for my brother"

"Someone is coming," Wang Lei commanded

A soldier walked in quickly, and Wang Lei ordered: "Bring Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan up."

"No"

The soldier bowed down and immediately went to carry out the order

It didn't take long for the soldiers to bring Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan to the hall, and when the two saw Cao Cao sitting in the hall, they all looked ashamed and hurriedly saluted

Wang Lei flicked his sleeves and said: "Mr. Zhongde, General Xiahou is thinking that you are Brother Mengde, from now on you are free."

"Thank you Wang Zhoumu"

Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan hated itchy, but they still thanked them respectfully

Wang Lei changed his words and said: "Brother Mr. Zhongde and General Xiahou have solved the matter, and then let's talk about business."

Cao Cao Zhengse said: "Brother Xian, please speak"

Wang Lei said: "Brother should know about Yuan Shao's latest motives in Bohai County."

"Know"

Cao Cao nodded, not shying away

Wang Lei said in a solemn tone: "The latest news, Yuan Shao once again summoned the army, planning to raise troops again, and in the face of Yuan Shao's attack, I still have to ask Brother Meng De for help."

Cao Cao thought in his heart that it was really difficult to refuse this time

Wang Lei let Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan go, Cao Cao owed Wang Lei a favor, and now Wang Lei immediately asked for help, Cao Cao had to say: "Brother Xian, what is the use, brother can help, he must do his best"

Wang Lei nodded and smiled: "Here's the thing, I plan to attack Yuan Shao with my brother, I will go to Jizhou to attack the past, sweep Yuan Shao's strength, then Bohai County borders Qingzhou, my brother can take the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou, enter Qingzhou, first exterminate the Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou, and then go north to attack Yuan Shao with me."

A hint of surprise appeared in Cao Cao's eyes, but he understood Wang Lei's thoughts in an instant

Wang Lei said this not to ask for help, but to form an alliance with him

With Wang Lei's current strength, Cao Cao knew that Wang Lei didn't need help, so what he meant was that I, Wang Lei, went to attack Yuan Shao, and you Cao Cao went to fight Qingzhou, and the two sides did not interfere, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge

It's just that Wang Lei changed his words

After Cao Cao figured it out, he said without hesitation: "Brother Xian said this, how can you not agree as a brother, please rest assured, Brother Xian, during your attack on Yuan Shao, I will never let the Yellow Turban Thief in Qingzhou interfere in the affairs of Jizhou again, and the Yellow Turban Thief in Qingzhou will be handed over to me."

The corners of Wang Lei's mouth rose and nodded: "Brother is really reasonable"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, like old foxes, everything was silent
