Chapter 403: Cao Cao's Arrangement

Soon after, Li Cheng visited, there was an urgent matter to find Liu Zheng, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sent the two away, and asked Xiahou Yuan to bring a thousand people to help, Xiahou Yuan walked into the camp tent and couldn't wait: "Lord, I don't know if you have anything to do with Liu Gongzi about the cavalry?" ”

For horseshoes, saddles and stirrups, Xiahoudun attached great importance to them.

In fact, when Xun Di and Xiahou Sheng came over, Cao Cao sent people to Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin to see them, and later shared the design drawings with many Taishou and the two assassins.

It's just that the situation is a little more complicated than he thought.

When they saw the blueprints, some people rejected it, some people were silent, and some people regarded it as a treasure, but in the end, everyone put the topic aside as if it had never happened.

Yuan Shao's side has also passed, these three things should have the effect on the cavalry, but how many effects still need to be tried, out of Dong Zhuo's consideration that he has an extra chance of victory if he doesn't have it, he ordered everyone to keep it secret. After that, in response to Liu Zheng's favor, Yuan Shao did not talk to many leaders of the alliance in detail, Cao Cao' mentioned it to him a few times in private, and Yuan Shao also waited for Liu Zheng to arrive, and would take care of him, but he had just become the leader of the alliance, and the alliance army was now uneven, so it was impossible for him to openly support Liu Zheng openly.

Cao Cao knew Yuan Shao's difficulties, and guessed that Yuan Shao might have other selfish intentions, and he would no longer build things after that, but secretly, he had no foundation for himself, and even relied on Bao Xin and Zhang Miao for iron smelting and equipment.

This time Liu Zheng came over, and happened to meet the Cao family and the Xiahou family who wanted to Tuntian, of course, this Tuntian is not Mintun, but Juntun, which is also related to equipment, Cao "Cao" happened to be in the letter with Liu Zheng, now that Liu Zheng should be, he thought about Liu Zheng's attitude, and said with a smile: "This matter Deran has agreed, together with the matter of Tuntian at home, Dezu will deal with it, don't worry." Besides, let a few of them mess around. They follow you and me, grow slowly, follow Deran, and can adapt to the battlefield in advance. ”

After all, Cao "Cao" is not the prime minister of the government and the opposition later, at this time, his strength is the worst in the allied army, and even Liu Zheng, who is not popular, is more profound than him, he trusts Liu Zheng, and also feels that Liu Zheng's military camp conditions are better than his own, since Liu Zheng has the heart to accept, he naturally hopes that Xiahoudun and others can try to accept the fact that his generation has more contact with Liu Zheng - in this regard, in fact, as long as Xiahoudun agrees, Cao Hong, Xiahouyuan and others will not have much problem.

Xiahoudun nodded when he heard this, and did not refute Cao Cao's decision to let his juniors follow Liu Zheng, Cao Cao's mind was relieved and looked at Zaoyi, "Dezu, you have to be prepared, you may have to leave for Qian County in the near future, once Deran has arranged it, I will inform you." ”

"No, the lord was afraid that Dezu would be called away by Liu Gongzi so he let him go in advance, right?" Ding Chong had already sat on the couch again, with a playful look, and a half-full wine bowl in his hand, looking drunk.

Get up, most of Cao's 'Cao'' subordinates are relatives and friends, except for Xi Zhicai, Zao Yi, and Shi Lian, who joined him as a guest, even Ding Chong is also the brother of Cao's 'Cao's main room Ding's clan.

In such a situation, even if everyone considers themselves retainers, it is impossible to be so serious, not to mention that today's official positions are all false, no one takes it to heart, Cao "Cao" has always liked to joke and be uninhibited, so that in private, a group of people are unruly.

Zao Yi also sat back, picked up a few dried fruits and peeled them, "Ming people don't talk secretly, Brother Youyang thinks Zao is a capricious person?" ”

"Look at your flattery, if I don't stop it, you will have to stop. There is also the matter of Mintun before, but he Liu Gongzi has already done it, and the harvest is good, which coincides with your thoughts. If Liu Gongzi really wants to recruit you now, won't you be tempted? Ding Chong held the wine bowl and said with a smile.

Cao's "" used to be a kick, "Ding Youyang, you don't sow discord." Fang Cai Deran is here, and he still comes up to drink, what kind of system has it become? Still drink, believe it or not, my military law disposed of it! ”

"Don't you two also sing about wine, what is life? Am I not allowed to get drunk when I have alcohol? Ding Chong hid aside with the wine bowl, drank the half bowl of wine again, put down the bowl and sipped the wine on his thumb.

That appearance made everyone cry and laugh for a while, and Cao "" laughed and scolded: "Sooner or later, I will die on wine!" ”

"Lend you good words." Ding Chongtian responded shamelessly, turned his head to look at Zaoyi, "That poem is also the beginning of Liu Gongzi, good poem, right?" Tempted? ”

Zao only smiled, but then nodded and looked at Xi Zhicai, "Brother Zhicai, do you have this intention?" I think Liu Gongzi is knowledgeable, courageous, and strategic, since he has the heart to recruit the lord, I might as well persuade the lord to join him together. Charcoal in the snow is better than icing on the cake. ”

Convince yourself, instead of going to work in private, indicating that Zao Yi wants to continue to follow him, Cao Cao Cao listened to it and was extremely satisfied with Zao You's attitude, and he was also grateful for Zao You's unwavering abandonment.

To be honest, he knew that Zao Yi was secretly recruited by many people, and as the only strategist who joined him during this time, Zao Yi never wavered, which was the greatest affirmation of him.

However, at this time, Zao Yi was serious, and he couldn't help but sit down, and said with his eyebrows: "It's really fake, Dezu also thinks that it is wise for me to wait to help De Ran in the past?" ”

Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao '', and smiled disapprovingly: "Why bother doing this? Do you think you are comparable to the Xun family, or can you fight the people who came out of his private school? By his side, I don't know how many people are here, you and I have been icing on the cake in the past. Now following the lord, the future is already great, and supporting the lord to rise to the top can show the ability of you and me. Let the lord also serve Liu Zheng...... It's not wise. As long as Liu Gongzi is not the third prince and nine kings today, a certain family does not agree. ”

Seeing the seriousness of Cao 'Cao' and Xi Zhicai, Zao's face was stagnant, "Laugh, you guys are suddenly so serious, so that Zao doesn't know how to deal with himself......"

Ding Chong laughed, thought about it, took a sip of wine and collected his face, "When I saw it today, Liu Gongzi didn't know that it was a big move." Ding didn't know the details of what he said about the letter with the lord, and if the lord didn't, Ding wouldn't ask. It's just that...... Get along with Liu Gongzi here, you and I have to be safer. I always feel that something big is going to happen to him if he goes on like this......"

"Didn't he come here to play by himself?" Xi Zhicai's eyes stared deeply at Cao Cao's ''.

Cao "" his face was stunned, and he was hesitating whether to tell them the true purpose of Liu Zheng's arrival now, when Cao Hong suddenly rushed into the camp tent in a rage, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, the scout is here to report, Feng Ji's letter has been sent, and I have sent someone to follow the messenger." Kong Ling did not clash with Liu Gongzi, and left a thousand parts here under the command of Liu Dai, and had already waved his army south. Also, Zixiao's men reported that when Liu Gongzi's troops were running south, they seemed to have caught a few assassins, and those assassins were all looking for them with the people sent by the Yingchuan Taishou. ”

I don't know which thing is extremely important, Cao Cao's spirit was lifted when he heard this, "Okay! ”

He thought about it, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan also walking in, he said in a deep voice: "Youyang, you go to Qian County with Dezu." Miaocai, you will personally go to the Deran camp to find Zihe and Yuancai later, and ask the two of them to escort Dezu Youyang there, and then the two of them will personally lead people to investigate those few monks. Remember, everyone who comes into contact with those who come into contact with them, keep an eye on them! "Zihe is the character of Cao Chun, the younger brother of Cao Cao's clan and Cao Ren's own brother, and it is far from the word of Xiahou Lian.

Cao Cao's paused and looked at Cao Hong, "Zilian, you take my letter and secretly take someone to Hanoi, and go to Lugut Mountain near Chaoge to visit Zhang Yide, the third brother of Yu Poison and Deran." Then inquire about the situation in Hanoi over there, and if you find out the news of Yuan Benchu's arrival in Hanoi, you can quickly order someone to report it. ”

He paused, "Well, stay there for now, wait for my news." Remember, everything is hearty, and also, you must not send someone to look for "color" fields, even if the uncle in the family does not "expose" his whereabouts to irrelevant people, military law will deal with it! ”

Cao Hong is famous for his love of collecting money, geese pluck "hair", beasts leave skin, Cao's "" is serious, but everyone can't help laughing.

Cao Hong made a fool of himself in public, and his face was bitter, but then he also looked at Xiahoudun and others, and hesitated: "Lord, will you be too cautious?" I've already sent someone to follow Feng Ji's people, what should I do when I go to Hanoi again? He didn't matter where he was, what did he have to do with us. I'll wait for the right time, and then I can send troops westward? As for Yu Poison Zhang Yide, it doesn't hurt to ask someone to bring a letter, right? ”

Cao Hong has been following Cao Cao's orders recently, sending people to closely monitor the situation in the Fengji military camp, and is also investigating Yuan Shao's whereabouts.

According to Cao Cao's judgment, Yuan Shao's secret Chen Cang is very likely to be fake, perhaps he is hiding in the shadows and monitoring every move of the allies at all times, so as to profit from it, Cao Hong also knows that Cao Cao's crusade against Dong Zhuo is very serious, but for Yuan Shao's whereabouts, he also feels that the risk is quite large, in case of leaking 'exposure', it will make Cao 'Cao' be suspicious of Yuan Shao, which is not a wise move.

Cao "Cao" shook his head, "Yu Poison Zhang Yide's matter was privately asked by me to do it, and Deran didn't know." I just want to ask Zhang Yide if he knows that Deran has also made allies. wants you to go over, but also to value your ability to know and rao, and let you see with your own eyes whether Zhang Yide is lying. As for paying attention to Yuan Benchu...... It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to take care of Shandong's affairs, and now that Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe is dead, he can't do without a Thorn History, right? If you think about it, who is in charge of this? Da Sima will never overstep his bounds, Gongsun Chan is now pacifying Qingzhou with Liu Bei and the Montenegrin Army, once your Gongsun Chan comes, if he is also under the command of Yuan Benchu, will Yuan Benchu "interfere" in this matter? He even gave us the general, is it difficult to ask for a Qingzhou Thorn History, and even Qingzhou Mu? ”

Cao Hong suddenly realized, Xi Zhicai and Zao Yi looked at each other, and said with a smile: "With the lord like this, what more can the husband ask for." ”

Cao Cao laughed, but after a while, he looked out of the tent with a faint smile, "Don't lift Cao." Now I am not the only one who pays attention to Qingzhou and Yuan Benchu. Besides, it is impossible for me to "intervene" in Qi Zheng, the only thing I can do is to prepare in advance, and when the time comes, I can choose whether to really oppose them with Deran, take advantage of the situation to destroy these people with ghosts, or take into account the overall situation, endure humiliation, and wait for the day when I can help the Han family and unify the Central Plains. ”

……

On the other side, in the camp five miles south of the sour jujube camp, Liu Zheng leaned on a cart and listened to Li Cheng's situation, "I understand, just like the lord is the only one, Liu Pet threatened that you are his subordinate, and the five assassins he chased and killed this time were also sent by him, and they originally wanted to send them to the alliance themselves from Yingyin." My lord, should we hand them over to the Confederate forces to show their innocence? ”

"What to deliver. There were only three people I came out to keep, which shows that those guys didn't even think to treat me well. What am I doing with my shy face? Liu Zheng pouted.

In the field of vision, not far away, Cao Ang Xia Hou Heng looked at himself with his shoulders on his back, what is it, in the distance, Cao Ren and Zhang Mancheng with a group of people are counting the materials and arranging tasks, Liu Zheng is gnawing on the "milk" pigeon that came from Cao's "Cao" camp tent, and said in a deep voice: "You entertain those five people, go back and ask, if they want to stay, you treat us, and then ask about their family situation, and leave the matter of finding out the truth to Nuxun to arrange." As long as the situation in the family is true, keep them. Otherwise, give them some dry food and let them go back to see Liu Pet. Remember, be sure to entertain well. ”

Li Cheng was stunned, Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Those who can be sent here also have some force, why don't you leave a line for later use?" You ask Che Huan to take someone to do this, and let him go south as well, and find Nuxun to get a sum of grain, grass, jewelry, and horses, and I will be of great use here at that time. ”

Li Cheng's expression was stunned, "Kong Ling is going south, Liu Pet is also in Yingchuan, if Che Huan rashly comes up with these things, will he be robbed by them?" ”

"Beat the banner and tell them that if someone robs at that time, throw down things and run, don't ask who it is, come back and tell me directly, we just take the opportunity to make trouble."

Liu Zheng thought about it, and said: "When I sent someone to find Nuxun, by the way, let her write a letter back to Youzhou." The situation of the Allied Army is similar to what we deduced before, let her take Document No. 2 out and summarize some letters, and then let Brother Wen Ruo help me and other staff officers. Also, Uncle Li is so meticulous, I have to bother my uncle to write a letter to us. Oh, I also have to bother my brother to accompany Zilong to have more contact with Uncle Li. ”

"It's okay. In the past, my father was not there for the duel between Uncle Shi and Li Zixian Taishan, but I also heard about it. He Li Shujie is quite open-minded and should be able to make friends. ”

"Then move around more and send something back and forth on weekdays. Also, Zhang He's side, you also told Zhang Mancheng to let him move around more, or send someone to move around and let him watch the ...... As for Dian Wei, I'll do it myself. The rest of the hot grain grass jewels arrived again. ”

Li Cheng was stunned when he heard this, "The lord means ......"

"That's right, it's to bring people over...... You tell your brothers that we will be very dangerous this time, and let them stay vigilant when they arrive at the camp. You don't need to be specific, just train. Also, if any of them are co-opted in private, you can say hello and let them tell me. You can go as long as you want, and I won't delay their future. Of course, make friends with Zhang Man, and let him call someone to replenish the number of people at any time. The bottom line is four thousand, and when it is almost four thousand, let him send people to the states of the letter...... Well, if those who have secrets want to leave, let them talk to me personally. ”

Li Cheng nodded, "Understood." ”

Looking at Cao Ang's green face, Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Li, I didn't receive a letter from Brother Xianhe in Yingyin before, and I never replied. In the letter, Xue really wanted to come, and the two brothers of the Wen family also thought that they could come over and help me alone, do you want to bring Xue? ”

"It's okay for you to put the snow in Yingyin, why do you take it with you? This head can't be opened, and once it is opened, Lilang may not want to come over. Those two sons are already good at adding "chaos", and once they go out, many juniors, I don't know how many people are coming, and we must not "mess up". Li Cheng became a little nervous.

"Set up a young soldier and let these people follow Cao Zixiu and them. In the future, we will have a lot of contacts with the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and the younger generations will always have to contact and support each other. Liu Zhengzhi, seeing Li Cheng's hesitation, reacted, and said with a dry smile: "Forget, I said, you have to break your legs." I'll discuss it with Brother Wen Ruo and Nu Xun first. More specifically. Then I'll let Wen Zhongye come over first...... Well, I also have to ask Zhao Hong, Liu Pihe Man's gang stayed in Runan County, did they really have no chance to recruit them......"

Liu Zheng, Che Huan suddenly came over with the two of them, "Lord, Fan Ziling and Mr. Tian have arrived!" ”

Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said to Li Cheng: "Brother Li will go to work first, there will probably be nothing to do in the next few days, with Brother Meng De taking care of you, you all go to socialize for the time being, let everyone feel free, just loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and other things, wait for changes." He turned his head to look at the old man who was following Che Huan, and then looked at Fan A, ran over with a look of surprise, and arched his hand: "The two of you are visiting, forgive Liu for missing the welcome!" ”
