Chapter 518: Cao Cao's Spider Silk
"Ziyuan, this time thanks to your people for providing information."
In Puyang City, Cao Cao looked at a scribe beside him and said with a smile.
"Cao Gong is serious, this is just a meeting gift from Ziyuan to Cao Gong."
Xu You said with a smile after listening to Cao Cao's words, but having said that, he could still see the pride and pride on Xu You's face.
"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, if it weren't for Ziyuan, how would I know that this Liu Wei actually restarted the big one to explore the intelligence of the world."
Cao Cao looked at Xu You and then sighed and said, as if he hadn't seen Xu You's pride.
"Actually, at this time, I also learned by accident, I originally planned to be loyal to that Yuan Benchu, but unfortunately the spider silk was not successful, and this Yuan Benchu was so unbearable."
Xu You looked at Cao Cao and then said with a smile, and even when he said later, he still had a little disdain for Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao smiled and didn't answer, of course he knew what Xu You said, and naturally it was the collective name of the intelligence officers in Xu You's hands.
And Xu You's metaphor is also obvious, that is, he hopes that his intelligence can find any clues, and it is also like a spider's web, covering all useful information.
"Ziyuan, there is something I don't understand, I don't know if I can solve it?"
After a while, Cao Cao looked at Xu You on the side and said with a smile.
"Cao Gong wants to ask me why I have such ability, why don't I just serve His Majesty directly?" Xu You smiled after listening to Cao Cao's words, and then asked directly.
"Not bad." Cao Cao saw that Xu You knew what he thought, but he didn't deny it, and nodded directly in acknowledgement.
If smart people can't be honest with each other at this time, they will appear to be stupid.
"Your Majesty already has a big one, so even if I am like, it is just icing on the cake."
"But my spider silk is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow for you Gong Cao, this icing on the cake and charcoal in the snow, how is it compared, which is more important, why do I need to say more?"
Xu You looked at Cao Cao with a confident look on his face, and looked at Cao Cao and said.
"Haha, that's what Ziyuan said." Cao Cao also laughed out loud after hearing Xu You's straightforward words.
Indeed, Xu Yu's intelligence network is very important to him.
But it is precisely because of this that he also understands Xu You's shortcomings but is still willing to value him.
Compared with Xu Yu's own talent, spider silk is something he values.
"Gong Cao, the information has been sent back, and Liu Wei has already set a wedding date."
While the two were talking, a soldier walked in and spoke.
"yes, got it." Cao Cao also nodded after hearing this.
The speed of this spider silk is really not to be underestimated, and when his letter was delivered to Jinyang, it was only two days ago.
However, the information of the spider silk was transmitted back from Jinyang so quickly.
"It seems that Gong Cao should personally go and give a big gift to our Majesty."
Xu You looked at Cao Cao, who was a little stunned, and at this time he was even more proud and said with a smile.
After listening to Xu You's words, Cao Cao's brief surprise was also put away, and then he looked at Xu You very happily and nodded, "What Ziyuan said is even more in line with me, if you don't do this, why don't you go with Ziyuan?" ”
"Since Cao Gong invited, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xu You said with a smile, it seemed that he was not surprised that Cao Cao made such a decision.
"In that case, then we have to prepare to leave tomorrow, otherwise we won't be able to catch up, so it would be rude."
After Cao Cao said this, he and Xu You looked at each other and smiled.
……
Xiliang, at this time, Ma Teng's mansion also ushered in a person, but naturally he received the news of Liu Wei's wedding, but the person sent by Han Tunnel.
Now Huan Yuhuan has officially sent troops to Han Tunnel, not only that, but Han Tunnel has also been defeated several times, looking like he is retreating one after another.
"Dad, the person sent by Han Tunnel to ask for help is already waiting in the hall." In the inner hall, Ma Chao said to Ma Teng after taking the people from the Han tunnel to the lobby.
"yes, got it." Ma Teng sighed and spoke.
"Dad, are you still thinking about Uncle Yu's old love?" Ma Chao saw Ma Teng sighing, and asked directly.
"That's just one of them." Ma Teng replied lightly after listening to Ma Chao's words.
After hearing this, Ma Chao suddenly became a little puzzled, "Is there any other reason for that?" ”
After Ma Teng heard Ma Chao's words, he didn't answer directly, but smiled and asked, "Chao'er, what do you think is your uncle's situation at this time?" Does he know that we won't send troops? ”
Ma Chao didn't expect that his father not only didn't answer his own question, but asked himself in turn.
But even so, Ma Chao replied after thinking about the question Ma Teng asked.
"The Qiang people fought bravely, and now that my uncle is losing and retreating, the situation is naturally not optimistic."
"As for whether my uncle knows whether my father is willing to send troops, maybe my uncle thinks that my father is a person who misses his old love, and maybe he will send troops to help him in the past."
Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng, and then said his thoughts.
After Ma Teng heard Ma Chao's words, he shook his head directly, and then smiled, "Then you mean that now it's just your uncle's end of the road, and he can't succeed in his dying struggle?" ”
Ma Chao nodded, just about to say something, isn't it?
However, before his words came out, Ma Teng had already taken the initiative to speak again.
"If you think so, then you are very wrong, in this troubled world, interests are the most important, so your uncle will not be unclear."
"Besides, even if I value affection, but your uncle may not be now, because this time is different from the past, and it has changed since the day your sister got married."
When he said the back, Ma Teng also sighed a little, or said that he was helpless.
"What you see now is only on the surface, and if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that although your uncle was defeated, he did not suffer any major damage."
Ma Chao was very surprised after listening to his father's words, "In that case, why did my uncle send someone here." ”
In Ma Chao's view, since this is the case, there is no need for Han Tunnel to do this kind of thing that he knows cannot do.
"Because what he wants is an attitude from us, even if it is a refusal to send troops?"
Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao and said, this is the intention of Han Tunnel to send someone here, and this is also the most headache for him.
Soon Ma Teng told Ma Chao all the intentions and stakes.
Ma Chao's face also changed after hearing this, and he didn't expect that it was just such a simple thing in his opinion.
But I didn't expect that under Ma Teng's analysis, there were so many intentions in it.
"So, what are you going to do, dad, if you refuse, wouldn't it be the right thing to do?"
"But if we agree, we have already promised Your Majesty, and it will be impossible to send troops."
Ma Chao looked at Ma Teng and said in embarrassment.
"For today's plan, it can only be delayed, you will go out later, and say that your father is unwell and cannot see guests for the time being, and the decision will be made later."
"At the same time, you sent someone to Chang'an overnight, and then told Xun Yu about this, he is the person sent by His Majesty to sit in Chang'an and control Xiliang, and there must be a way."
Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao, and then hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, Daddy, I'll do it, boy." After Ma Chao listened to Ma Teng's words, he immediately spoke.
Looking at the back of Ma Chao turning to leave, Ma Teng couldn't help but sigh again, "This day, after all, is still here." ”
After Ma exceeded the hall, he naturally looked at the man and excused himself according to what Ma Teng had just said.
"How so?" The man was also surprised when he heard this.
"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, this matter is indeed sudden, you wait for a few days, presumably my father's health will be better at that time." Ma Chao replied.
Naturally, the man couldn't say anything when he saw it, so he left even then.
After the man left, he directly told Pang Tong about the matter.
"Sure enough, as I expected, but this is not bad, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck."
