Walking on the way to the outside of the camp, Liu Zheng could see the soldiers on the side of the road from time to time looking sideways at him, talking to each other.

The news of Liu Zheng's arrival had already spread that there was no movement in the sour jujube camp before, and after that, the army returned, and the news of Liu Zheng's self-defeat and the three generals who fought alone also became known.

Not long ago, Liu Zheng entered Liu Dai's handsome tent with many Taishou assassins, and everyone also saw it clearly, at this time, seeing that Liu Zheng did not stay in Liu Dai's handsome tent for a long time, he carried a roast chicken and led the horse out alone, everyone couldn't help but speculate, and some people sneered and gloated.

Faced with such a scene, Liu Zheng was prepared when he came in, and then walked outside quietly, still a little satisfied with his decision to cut his hair.

Originally, others would have noticed that he might still be a little face blind, but now that he has shaved his hair short, it is clear at a glance, and it is absolutely fine to leave a little impression in the hearts of those people, and as long as others remember him and become curious about him, the bold plan in his heart has the possibility of further implementation.

It didn't take long for Cao Ren to lead Zhang Mancheng and several guards to meet him.

Seeing Liu Zheng coming out alone, Zhang Mancheng glanced at Cao 'Cao' Qiao Mao and the others who were hurrying over behind Liu Zheng, dismounted and frowned: "My lord, this is"

"Kong Ling's aggressive 'force' people, too lazy to deal with them, asked for 'sex' to come out." Liu Zheng smiled, "You came here to make trouble for Yingchuan?" ”

"Not bad." Zhang Mancheng frowned and looked over, led the horse to Liu Zheng's side, and said in a cold voice: "I called my brothers back, do you want me to teach Kong Ling a lesson?" ”

"Go back and talk about it." Liu Zheng shook his head, listened to someone calling from behind, stopped, and saw Cao Cao Cao asking Cao Ren something, while walking over quickly, Qiao Mao came over first, hugged his fists and said: "Liu Gongzi, please go slowly, why don't you go to a camp in Qiao, Qiao will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Deran, don't pay attention to the matter of Fang Cai." I haven't seen my brother for a long time, so you have to give my brother a thin face. At this time, they stayed in the camp and we gave us a feast. ”

He looked at Qiao Mao, "Qiaodong County, you have just had so many people in and out of the camp, and you may not have rested at this time, why don't you go to my camp to gather?" Cao also prepared some light gifts for Deran, just for you to refer to in detail. ”

Qiao Mao glanced at Bao Xin, who came up, and Bao Xin hugged his fists, "Since Meng De invited first, you go first." Bao Mou excused himself to take a bath, and went to do it first, so as not to provoke the tongue of Qiaodong County, their brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they want to catch up with the old days, you haven't had a drink with Bao for a long time, how about you and I go to have a drink today? In the evening, we will hold another banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Gongzi. ”

Qiao Mao originally wanted to insist on inviting Liu Zheng, but when she heard this, she glanced at Cao Cao and Liu Zheng, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, Qiao Mou will go with Bao Jibei first." Liu Gongzi, today's dinner, don't refuse. ”

Seeing that Qiao Mao's eyes were a little meaningful, Liu Zheng thanked him, and watched Bao Xin Qiao Mao go away with Cao Cao, and then followed Cao Cao to the camp.

After Cao 'Cao' finished telling Cao Ren about the matter, Cao Ren pulled Zhang Mancheng away.

Passing by many camps along the way, Cao Cao' introduced the general deployment of the sour jujube camp, and when he could enter the camp tent, he asked Xiahoudun to personally handle it outside the door, and asked Xiahouyuan to go to find Xi Zhicai and others, and then walked to the cabinet and turned out the seven rolls of cloth inside, "Brother Wei raised troops in Xiangyi County before, and the Jin of Xiangyi County has always been famous, I thought you would come this time, so I left you a few volumes." When the time comes, you can make some clothes for your two siblings. The carriage is also ready, don't always ride a horse, when you go out in the future, there must always be a carriage to give you a long face, and the cover on it, just use these rolls of brocade cloth to ask me again. People who know the goods will also be afraid of your identity when they see it. ”

Now that there are troops and disasters in various parts of Shandong, Dong Zhuo issued a set of money a year ago, which caused the currency to depreciate, prices to rise, and hard currencies such as cloth, grain, and horses to be expensive.

Chen Liuxiangyi County's brocade cloth is famous, and Qingzhou Qi country brocade cloth is the most powerful items to use, just a horse, the original two or three thousand yuan or more, now the price is only afraid of being fried to nearly 100 gold, Cao "Cao" previously served as the minister of Jinan, he often bought the brocade cloth of Qi to Liu Zheng, at this time of the war "chaos", he did not sell the cloth to cash out to recruit troops and buy horses, but deliberately left seven volumes for himself, Liu Zheng was really moved.

However, Liu Zheng was not polite, put the roast chicken and washed his hands, then picked up a roll of brocade cloth and looked at it a few times, the brocade cloth was soft and gorgeous, he 'touched' it a few times, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De is so atmospheric, Liu has not prepared anything for this trip, but I don't know what to do." ”

"Let it go, when you set up camp, I will send you to the camp tent in a box." Cao "" smiled, "I'm also a courtesy." The few good horses you found for me earlier are all of the best grades, and a group of people have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and with this good horse, there is also an extra chance to save your life, which is much thicker than these things outside the body. ”

When Liu Zheng moved from Youzhou, he looked for a batch of horses in the horse farm and asked Zhang Fei and others to send them down to Cao Cao Cao and Sun Jian, Cao Cao got ten horses, most of them were good horses, and one of them was highly qualified and young.

Cao "" from this time, thinking about Cao Ang's appearance of Liu Zheng's "fan" brother, his face was full of smiles, and then invited Liu Zheng to sit on the couch, and after the guards brought the wine and food, he poured Liu Zheng a bowl of wine.

Liu Zheng took a sip and cut the roast chicken with a knife, but raised his chin, "That's not good, I have to return the courtesy." I heard that you got a dragon horse, the name is peerless, or a mother, why don't you wait for the day to come, give my family Qingyun to relieve their hunger, and give birth to cubs, and I can accompany your family to grow up with my family Shang'er. ”

"That's very good." Cao's eyes lit up, he could hear the laughter outside the camp, and when he looked at the tent of the camp, he saw Xi Zhicai, Zao Yi and Ding Chong walking in.

The three of them knelt on the side and greeted Liu Zheng, Zao You took the lead and smiled: "I have heard the name of Liu Gongzi for a long time, Brother Meng Cai brought the cavalry three treasures over before, and Zao Mou has been looking forward to it for a long time. Liu Gongzi"

"Don't flattery." Ding Chong took a bowl and poured himself wine, picked up the chopsticks and knocked on the table, "Liu Gongzi, can Ding eat together?" ”

Cao "" couldn't cry or laugh, and explained to Liu Zheng: "This guy follows 'sex', I know that you have always meant to eat together, and I want to come to see the wine and gluttony." It is really an inch. ”

"It doesn't matter. Sharing a table is close. Isn't it a great blessing for us to drink together and strategize? Liu Zheng waved his hand and stuffed the chicken into his mouth, "How is the Zhicai Five Poultry Drama practiced?" ”

Xi Zhicai was still laughing just now, and his face was bitter when he heard this, "Why is Liu Gongzi like a certain family?" He also sent Brother Zhongfu to "force" me to practice a certain family but a scholar, no matter how strong my body is, what is the use? I just want to do it when I go up to the mountain to fight the tiger and kill the enemy, and the lord won't let me. ”

Liu Zheng had the impression that Xi Zhicai died quite early, although he didn't know what the reason was, but when Xun Di came over before, he specially instructed Xun Di to supervise Xi Zhicai to practice the Five Fowl Opera.

At this time, Cao laughed, but after a while, he also smiled and said, "Trivial things, later." Deran, what do you think of the correspondence between me and Zhongfu before? Is it really as Miaocai said, ready to be inseparable from Cao? ”

Liu Zheng's face was pale, "It's not good." But I can give you advice on other things. Keep an eye on the two to see who is behind them. Also, what your uncle has done, you can do it, and Liu will also inform your brother to fully cooperate. As for the allies, Liu is not good, but I found an ally, and if nothing happens, I should be able to cooperate with me inside and out. When the time comes, I really want to fight you, and it's not that I don't school."

Cao Cao Cao Xun Di previously mentioned three major events in the letter.

The first thing is that there is a priest at home. This aspect is mainly because Liu Zheng has always been more mindful of the speculation of Gan Shi in the past, and has always been vigilant against the possible "chaos" of Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others in the Central Plains.

After that, he found Zuo Ci and found that it was Liu Bei's person, and Liu Zheng also inquired about Tai Ji's whereabouts from Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the letter, especially on Sun Jian's side, Liu Zheng emphasized that he had searched for it, and the main purpose was to find Yu Ji, confirm whether he was involved in the Yellow Turban 'chaos', and even dig out the power he might have behind him.

But Liu Zheng would never have imagined that one day he would get Yu Ji's whereabouts in Cao Cao's letters. This matter, Cao "Cao" will mention it in the secret letter, mainly because Liu Zheng has been talking to him in an extremely serious tone in his previous letters, and he also frequently mentions it, plus what happened after Yu Ji and Zhang Jiong appeared is extremely unbelievable, in the case that Liu Zheng has more contact with Fang Shi, Cao "Cao" naturally wants to ask Liu Zheng to help figure out whether there is a conspiracy in it.

To a certain extent, it can be a coincidence that Cao Cao's family encountered Yu Ji and Zhang Jiong.

But there were many coincidences, and the involvement of Fang Ji and other scholars had to make Cao Cao vigilant.

First of all, Xiahou Sheng was seen as that kind of treacherous fate, so that Xiahou Sheng chose Liu Zheng, and then the Cao family and the Xiahou family were made into princely courts, causing the two families to begin to prepare in this regard.

The two things together, that is, the Cao family Xiahou family and Liu Zheng are linked together, at the same time, the two families want to achieve the princely court, this ambition is tantamount to rebellion, rebellion needs to find someone to shelter, that is, to put aside the law of rebellion, the two families want to make contributions, they must need to spend more effort on Cao Cao's 'Cao', and Cao 'Cao' wants to make contributions, they also need to rely on, and this dependence The final choice is Yuan Shao and the Runan Yuan family behind him!

Further, Yu Ji and Zhang Jiong's words made Cao "Cao" and Liu Zheng become closely related figures, and Cao "Cao" was under Yuan Shao's command, as long as "Cao" was done properly, Cao "Cao" could dig the Xiahou family and the Cao family, as well as Liu Zheng to Yuan Shao's side.

Originally, Cao "Cao" is not without such intentions, but he has always been pragmatic, does not believe in physiognomy, if it was not for the sake of being an official, he would not have forced Xu Shao to give him a face-to-face comment, after Xu Shao's evaluation, he had a further springboard, and also forgot the words of "'traitor' and loyal minister". Moreover, he knows that the true meaning of physiognomy is to give people a reference, and he can't do it really, even the most commonly used word in the Book of Changes is "if", the more he is straight, the more he doesn't believe it, Yu Ji Zhang Jiong can be famous for his physiognomy, which must be strange.

Not to mention that before Yuan Shao left Hanoi, he would carve a jade seal in private, wanting to make Liu Yu the emperor and set up another court with him, Cao Cao was really murderous to Yuan Shao, so he was also sensitive to Fang Shi's affairs.

The second is that the Cao family and the Xiahou family are preparing to officially tuntian.

Cao Cao's "Cao" already knew about Liu Zheng's Tuntian, but he actually didn't know how much work Liu Zheng had spent on this matter and how many achievements he had achieved, and he had no soldiers and no generals before, and he didn't need to raise many people, so Tuntian was originally doing this extra thing.

This time he recruited 5,000 people, and he was so worried about the cost of grain, grass and equipment that he felt the need to ask Liu Zheng about Tuntian.

In this regard, it is also the price of soaring, but the Han law stipulates that the tax must be paid in money, and the hard currency of grain, grass and cloth must be sold cheaply in exchange for money and then handed over, and now this hard currency is still rising in price, and the price increase is very large, Cao "" some painful things are not worth selling, can not be used on the blade, plus the Cao family Xiahou family has been Yu Ji, Zhang Jiong and others opened their ambitions, and they have the intention to recruit troops to expand their strength, he can't stop it, fortunately, this matter is promoted, as a long-term solution.

The third thing is about the Confederates.

In addition to the allied army passing Cao Cao's strategy and planning to attack Dong Zhuo according to the plan, Yuan Shao and others proclaimed themselves generals and were suspected of setting up another court, including Yuan Shao and others who privately recruited Cao Cao's military generals, and even Xun Di was visited several times, making Liu Zheng wary of his subordinates being rebelled.

At this time, Xi Zhicai, Zao Yi, and Ding Chong were there, and Liu Zheng naturally didn't want to mention the things that Yuan Shao and others had privately recruited, but the rest of the things also gave the answer.

Cao "" couldn't cry and laughed: "You are not authentic!" While helping me, you want to fight me, this is not to take Cao in your eyes. ”

"A certain family is more curious, who is the person who should be in Gongzi Liu?" Xi Zhicai deduced Cao 'Cao's arrangement' from Liu Zheng's answer, thinking that today was the time to know the answer, and said curiously.

Cao "Cao" knew what was going on in Liu Daishuai's account, and frowned, "Is it really King Chen and Liu Pet?" ”

"King Chen?" At this moment, Ding Chong had already drunk three bowls of wine in a row, his face was slightly drunk, and he frowned: "King Chen is not easy to match. ”

Liu Zheng took a bite of food and said with a smile: "This is Liu's talisman when he is alive and dead." Why do you want to reveal it to you thieves? As for King Chen, isn't he easy to follow, but I'm the one? ”

"Haha, you're arrogant. However, I, the thief, have helped you a lot today. You can also see that the Confederates have their own thoughts, who is close to whom, but there is a lot of information. If you don't ask Cao Mou, the allies will not help you in the future, you will lose your horses, and Cao Mou will be chilled by you, but I will not save you. Cao laughed.

Liu Zhengfang had just learned from Zhang Mancheng about the nonsense of the younger generations of the Cao family, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yes, you can come." Anyway, Zixiu wants to join me, so I agree, I will accept as many people as you come, you have to really disobey me, and he will send them back one day. ”

Cao "" was stunned for a moment, and then said with a look of surprise: "Do you really want to accept it?" Cao Cao's didn't feel that his training was worse than Liu Zheng's, but Liu Zheng's command had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his men and horses were all new soldiers, so it was inevitable that a group of people would not be able to save their lives when they went to the battlefield, and he also hoped that those people could adapt to Liu Zheng's troops in advance, and they could also check and fill in the gaps, so that the two Rao tribes were more perfect.

"Those who come will not refuse." Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows vigorously, his expression was proud, and then he glanced at Xi Zhicai, Zao Yi, and Ding Chong, and said with a smile: "Moreover, I will take the initiative to attack." Look at it, none of the people who singled me up before can escape. If it were possible, I would dare to take you under my command! ”

Of course, Cao "Cao" knew that Liu Zheng had some laughing ingredients, but most of his attitude was very serious, and he suddenly looked right, "This matter is extraordinary!" Have you made up your mind? ”

"That's it. I'm just here to have fun. Liu Zheng laughed, poured a bowl of wine, drank it all, and then said with a shining eye: "I think about it!" These birds play with me, and I play with them. With the ZTE sword in hand, who is afraid of whom? This time, it is to pull all their subordinates and generals over, and if they don't do it, they will be so suspicious that they dare not use it! Want to fight? It's time for military training! Anyway, my life is cheap, see which one doesn't want to die and fight with me! ”

With a "bang", the porcelain bowl slammed on the desk, and Liu Zheng said loudly: "This time I don't punch holes, I leave my face here, just to make him upside down!" Look at these birds, do they dare to have different hearts! ”
