Cao Shuo sat in the pavilion in the back garden of the White Horse Mansion.

After reading the silk sent from the prison, he smiled slightly and handed it to Pang Tong.

took the silk silk and looked at it, Pang Tong smiled: "Wen Chou can think about it, he really regards the prison as his home." ”

"Yan Liangwen and Chou are equally famous." Cao Shuo said: "In the past, my father-in-law mentioned the fierce generals under his command, and he also put them together, but I didn't expect the difference between the two personalities to be so big. ”

"After the Battle of the White Horse, Yan Liang was always depressed." Pang Tong said: "I didn't expect Wen Chou to come, but it cheered him up. ”

"Why did he brace himself and not think about running away one day?" Cao Shuo said: "These two people are interesting, they eat me and live with me, and they still want to run back to Hebei." ”

"What are you going to do?" Pang Tong asked.

"The prison is solid, they can't get out." Cao Shuo said: "But when you return to Shouchun, you must find ways to make them have nowhere to escape." ”

"The wood of the prison cart is not as strong as the one in the prison." Pang Tong said: "Let the two of them save up enough strength, it's really uncertain." ”

Pinching it, Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Find two blacksmiths from Baima to build two pure iron prisoner cars." ”

"Pure iron?" Pang Tong was stunned and said, "How heavy is that?" ”

"It's good to have two more horses." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that the cage is made of iron, and the bottom is still made of heavy wood. ”

"If you make a prisoner cart out of iron, even if they have the ability, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape." Pang Tong shook his head and smiled: "Yan Liangwen is not a stupid person, but it's a pity that I met my son." ”

"We came to Hebei this time, in fact, to make profits." Cao Shuo said: "Yan Liangwen is just the first wave of benefits I have reaped, and as the war progresses in the future, we will get more." ”

"Who else did Childe fall in love with in Hebei?" Pang Tong asked.

"All!" Cao Shuo said: "As long as it is someone who is captured by us, I plan to bring it back to Shouchun." ”

"There are indeed many Hebei staff and generals who are capable." Pang Tong said: "If you can really catch them all, even if you talk to Cao Gong in the future, Gongzi will be tougher." ”

"You're thinking too much!" Cao Shuo said: "A father is a father after all, and a son is a son after all. ”

"Childe's filial piety comes first, which is really admirable!" Pang Tong said with his fists clenched.

"That's right!" Cao Shuo seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Pang Tong, "Where is Liu Xuande?" ”

"According to Fire Dance's report, he fled back to Liyang." Pang Tong replied.

"Back to Liyang?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "Isn't he afraid that my father-in-law will treat him for the crime of being unfavorable?" ”

"Childe underestimated Liu Bei too much." Pang Tong said: "With Liu Bei's ability, isn't it easy to persuade Yuan Shao not to kill him?" ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "When I was in Xudu, I repeatedly tried to find fault and kill him, but I never found a suitable reason and excuse. My father-in-law was busy attacking the Cao family, and he didn't have the heart to mess around with him, and this time it seems that he may really escape! ”

"Liu Bei, I've seen it too." Pang Tong said: "This person seems to be honest, but in fact he is deceitful and has the appearance of a hero. I really can't understand why Cao Gong took him in in the first place, Gongzi repeatedly planned to kill him, but Cao Gong refused. ”

"How does my father know that Liu Bei is terrible." Cao Shuo said: "I didn't kill him when I was in Xudu, and now that he has fled to Hebei, he will definitely not stay for long." Once the war was unfavorable to the Yuan family, he would immediately abandon the Yuan family and flee elsewhere. ”

"Liu Bei has a skill, but no one else has it." Cao Shuo came up with such a sentence.

"What does Childe think he has that others don't have?" Pang Tong asked.

"He can carry other people's things into his arms when he has nothing." Cao Shuo said: "After taking advantage of the tricks, he still has the ability to find a reason to say that it was given to him by others, and the heirs who were supposed to inherit by those people will not end up with anything." ”

"Childe is talking about Xuzhou Tao Qian?" Pang Tong asked.

"Tao Qian was just pitted by him to be more bitter." Cao Shuo said: "Do you think he didn't want to take away the Cao family's inheritance when he was in Xudu? He is in Hebei, and he doesn't want to take the Yuan family's things for himself? ”

"When Gongzi said this, I also think Liu Bei is very hateful." Pang Tong said: "He may not have thought that Cao Gong's prestige in Xudu and Yuan Shao's foundation in Hebei. ”

"What Shi Yuan said is not right or not." Cao Shuo smiled slightly.

If we talk about foundation and prestige, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is not much worse than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the jurisdiction.

When Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, he still snatched the foundation from him.

But these things haven't happened yet, and of course he can't talk to Pang Tong.

"Something is wrong, please teach Childe!" Pang Tong clenched his fists and bowed, and said to Cao Shuo very humbly.

"It's all about people." Cao Shuo said: "My father has always been wary of Liu Bei, and everyone under his command saw that Liu Bei was not satisfactory in Xudu, and of course no one wanted to be close to him. Although he seems to be protecting Liu Bei, his father is always on guard against him. What kind of person is Liu Bei? Knowing that danger was imminent, how could he risk doing something that didn't help at all? ”

"Is Yuan Shao also on guard against him?" Pang Tong asked.

"Of course!" Cao Shuo said: "With such a big foundation of the Yuan family in Hebei, could it be that it was obtained at will? If Yuan Gong couldn't see what kind of character a person had, he would have been attacked by others for so many years, where would there be a big war today? ”

"When Childe said this, I think Liu Bei is not an ordinary person." Pang Tong said: "The Yanjin army was defeated, and the soldiers and horses of Wen Chou's department were almost wiped out, but the five hundred Yuan troops led by Liu Bei were unscathed. I can't think of how to return to Yuan Shao when I return to Liyang. ”

"Actually, I can't think of it." Cao Shuo said: "No matter what you think, Liu Bei is passive this time. Still, I think he will be able to convince my father-in-law to spare his life. ”

When Cao Shuo and Pang Tong were speculating about how Liu Bei would deal with Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, who had fled back from Yanjin, had already arrived in Liyang.

Before he entered the city gate, he was greeted by a group of people.

The one who took the lead was Yuan Shang.

Seeing Liu Bei, Yuan Shangpi asked with a smile: "Xuande Gong, General Wenchou went to Yanjin with you, and now that you are back, where is he?" ”

"Go back to the third son." Liu Bei clenched his fists and said, "I don't know where General Wenchou is......"

"You don't know, but my father does." Yuan Shang snorted coldly: "Father has been waiting for Xuande Gong for a long time, please come with me!" ”

Liu Bei responded, followed Yuan Shang tremblingly, and walked towards the Liyang Mansion.
