Cao Cao's handsome tent.

Gongsun stood with his head bowed respectfully, followed by an entourage carrying two burdens.

"Why did General Gongsun think of coming up to see me?" Cao Cao asked Gongsun Gong.

"Return to Gong Cao." Gongsun Gong said: "I heard that Cao Gong came to the vicinity of Liaodong, and my brother specially ordered me to come and offer a generous gift, and asked Cao Gong to accept it with a smile. ”

"Generous gifts?" Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked Gongsun Gong, "I don't know what kind of gift the general sent?" ”

"It's Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's head." Gongsun bowed down and said: "I heard that Cao Gong crusaded against Wu Huan, mainly because he wanted to take down their heads, so my brother took it for Cao Gong and specially ordered me to send it over." ”

"As soon as Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang die, the Yuan family in Hebei will be finished." Cao Cao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that it was your Liaodong Gongsun family that ended the Yuan family. ”

"Cao Gong is a hero in the world, and he is also a great man." Gongsun Gong said: "Earlier, I also asked Your Majesty to canonize my father's official position. Speaking of which, our Liaodong Gongsun family and the Cao family have also been friends for a long time. Since he can do something for Cao Gong, of course it is incumbent! ”

"Zhong Kang, bring me the head and take a look." Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu.

Xu Chu agreed, and stepped forward to take the head from Gongsun Gong's entourage.

In front of Cao Cao and placed on the table, Xu Chu untied the burden.

What appeared in front of Cao Cao was indeed the heads of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

Cao Cao sighed: "What a beautiful scenery the Yuan family in Hebei used to be, I didn't expect it to fall into today's field." ”

"The Yuan family and Cao Gong are enemies, and they are to blame." Gongsun Gong said: "Liaodong Gongsun family, willing to return to Cao Gong!" ”

"The Gongsun family has this thought, and I am very grateful." Cao Cao said: "When I return to Yecheng, I will definitely write to His Majesty, and the general and Brother Ling will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you Cao Gong!" Gongsun Gong hurriedly thanked him.

When he asked to see Cao Cao, Cao Shuo, who returned to the tent, had a very bad face.

It was rare to see Cao Shuo showing such a face, and Chen Zhi asked him, "Childe, what's wrong?" ”

"Gongsun Gong came to see his father." Cao Shuo said: "He must have brought the heads of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. ”

Chen Zhi was stunned: "Will the Gongsun family of Liaodong attack Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang?" ”

"Why wouldn't they do it to protect themselves?" Cao Shuo said: "It was precisely because I didn't want to see Yuan Xianfu's head that I asked my father to resign and did not accompany me. ”

"Gongzi and Yuan Xianfu have a close relationship, we all know it." Chen Zhi said: "But the Yuan family in Hebei is the enemy of the Cao family, and there is no way. If it is not the Yuan family but the Cao family who loses, they will also not show mercy to Gongzi's subordinates. ”

"Actually, if I capture them, I will definitely kill them." Cao Shuo said: "However, when I think that the old man has gone, I always feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"Childe, don't think too much." Chen Zhi said: "The Yuan family is gone, and the north is also stable, and from now on, the Cao family will be able to devote themselves to the south, which is not a good thing for the son." ”

"The north is not yet secure." Cao Shuo said: "At least Liaodong and Xiliang and other places do not belong to our Cao family. ”

"Liaodong is just a small land, is it possible that you dare to be the enemy of the Cao family?" Chen Zhi said: "Childe is too worried......

"I don't think much of it." Cao Shuo said: "As long as there is no surname Cao there, we can't completely let our guard down. ”

"Childe means ......," Chen Zhi sensed something.

Cao Shuo said: "What I want to do is very simple, on the pretext that the Gongsun family killed Yuan Xianfu, send troops to Liaodong and take it over." ”

Looking at Cao Shuo in amazement, Chen Zhi asked, "Gongzi plans to crusade against Liaodong?" ”

Cao Shuo nodded and said to Chen Zhi: "I told Guo Zu earlier that once Sanhan made a move, let him lead the navy north. Recently, I have found that it is useless for the navy to go north too early, so I have been following the order without a summons. Now you send someone to Haixi, and let Guo Zu lead the navy to wait at Donglai Port. ”

"To crusade against Sanhan and Liaodong, I think it's more appropriate to use a land army." Chen Zhi said: "Although the navy has been established for a long time, they don't have much experience in conquest after all. ”

"It's because I don't have experience that I use them." Cao Shuo said: "A campaign can be prevaricated with no experience, if this campaign is said to be inexperienced, what use do I need the navy?" ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen arrived, and then he said, "I implore Gongzi to lead the navy north and bring our dragon pattern horse." ”

"The Dragon-Pattern Ride has been working hard lately." Cao Shuo said: "It's time for the soldiers to return to Shouchun to rest, and I plan to take the Flying Bear Camp with me this time." Although they are not as good as dragon horses on horseback, they can also fight on war horses. Although Sanhan and Liaodong are in the north, they are not nomads. Most of the Samhan people make a living from fishing, and they also cultivate the fields. In places like theirs, there are not many cavalry. Bring the dragon pattern to ride, but there is not much use. ”

Cao Shuo did not plan to lead the dragon pattern to ride out on the expedition, and Chen Zhi was inevitably a little disappointed.

He said to Cao Shuo: "We are next to Gongzi, but the Flying Bear Battalion has to be transferred from Shouchun. ”

"It's not very far from Shouchun to Donglai." Cao Shuo said: "The Flying Bear Battalion has not been on the battlefield for a long time, and it is time for them to sharpen their knives. ”

He then instructed Chen Zhi: "You send someone back to Shouchun and tell Wei Wenchang that he should lead the Flying Bear Battalion to Donglai and meet me in Donglai." Before I meet them, I still have to go to Yecheng. Count the days, but nothing will be delayed. ”

"I see." Chen Zhi responded.

At the same time that the Gongsun family of Liaodong gave the heads of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang to Cao Cao, Xun You had already arrived in Youzhou.

came to greet him in person, and when he saw Xun You, Tian Feng made a big gift: "I am really scared to have Lao Xungong go on a trip in person." ”

"Tian Gong doesn't have to be like this." Xun You replied: "I just took the order of the prince to send the population and livestock to Tian Gong." ”

Looking at the crowd and horses following behind Xun You, Tian Feng asked, "Why are there no horses?" ”

Grinning at Tian Feng, Xun You said: "Tian Gong is more greedy than Gongzi, with so many people and cattle and sheep, is it possible that he is still dissatisfied?" ”

"Not really." Tian Feng smiled and said to Xun You: "It's just that Youzhou is short of horses now, if the northern alien race comes, it will be difficult for me to coordinate and resist without cavalry, Xun Gong said yes or no?" ”

"Interracial?" Xun You said with a smile: "The Huns have long been afraid of being beaten by Gongzi, and the Wuhuan people are now also tossed by Gongzi and have no ability to enter the customs." I don't know what Tian Gong is worried about, where did the alien race come from? ”
