Cao Shuo decided to besiege Qi County and wait for Cao Cao's army.

The Huainan army in the city was ordered to defend to the death, and Zhang Xun and the others certainly would not rush into battle.

The two sides just confronted each other, and neither had any intention of attacking.

A few days later, Cao Cao's army entered the state of Chen.

As he was marching, a guard rode his horse to the front, clasped his fists and said, "Qi Cao Gong, Gongzi sent someone to send a corpse, saying that he must ask Cao Gong to go and check it in person." ”

It was Xun Yu who accompanied Cao Cao on the expedition.

Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao asked, "Does Gongda know what Zirong sent the corpse for?" ”

"Since Gongzi sent the corpse, there must be a reason." Xun You said: "Cao Gong might as well go and have a look." ”

Cao Cao took Xun You, Xiahoudun and other generals to the place where the corpses were parked.

When Wei Tu saw him coming, he made a big salute and said: "Gongzi broke the bridge in Chen State, Yuan Shu was afraid of Cao Gong's prestige, retreated to Huainan, and ordered Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Li Feng and others to guard Qi County......"

"I know all of that." Cao Cao interrupted him: "Say something I don't know. ”

"Gongzi led the immortal battalion to advance into the Chen State, and Captain Sima led us to march later, but someone conveyed the order of Duke Cao halfway and asked Captain Sima to suspend the march." Wei Tu said.

"Pass me the order?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at Xun You and the others.

Xun You and the generals were all at a loss, and they didn't know that there was such a thing.

"Sima Yi believes it?" Cao Cao asked.

"Back to Cao Gong! The military order has Cao Gong's seal, and Captain Sima has to believe it! Wei Tu pulled the silk silk from his bosom.

The guard took the silk silk and handed it to Cao Cao.

Taking the silk and looking at it, Cao Cao's brows furrowed.

He handed the silk to Xun You.

Xun You took it and looked at it, and asked Cao Cao, "Gong Cao, this ......"

Cao Cao interrupted him, looked at the corpse lying on the ground and asked, "He is the one who gave the order?" ”

"Exactly!" Wei Tu said: "Gongzi is convinced that Cao Gong will not convey such a military order, and it is really strange that this person committed suicide, so I asked me to send the body to remind Cao Gong." ”

"You go back and tell him, you don't have to remind me of anything." Cao Cao said: "Let him surround Qi County, don't leave Zhang Xun and the others." ”

Wei Tu retreated.

"This military order is not from the hand of Cao Gong." Xun You said to Cao Cao: "You can print a ribbon ......"

"The military order must be fake." Cao Cao said: "When did I use the seal ribbon when I gave a military order?" That is, Sima Yi, who has never seen the military orders I passed by letter, will be fooled. Fortunately, Zirong is fine, otherwise if I go back to Xudu, how can I explain to Ding Yao. ”

"The military order is fake, but the ribbon can be printed and not fake." Xun You asked, "Did you bring the Cao Gong seal ribbon with you?" ”

"When you are out on the road, what are you doing with a ribbon?" Cao Cao said: "Stay in Xudu!" ”

"That is, someone stole the Cao Gong seal ribbon." Xun You said: "Gong Cao should investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said to Xun You: "Send someone back to hand over the seal ribbon to Ding Yao and put it on her body, there should be no more fake military orders." ”

Xun You didn't speak again.

From Cao Cao's response, Xun You felt that he already had a suspicion target.

It's just that the ribbon is in the Cao family, and only the people inside the Cao family can touch it.

Cao Cao refused to talk too deeply in front of everyone.

So it's inconvenient for Xun You to say more.

Following Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao and then at Xun You.

Xun You glanced at him, and Xu Chu turned his gaze to the side.

"The corpse is burned." Swinging his hand, Cao Cao pinched his nose in disgust: "Zirong is really, this season people send corpses over, they all stink." ”

Cao Cao turned to leave, followed by Xun You, Xu Chu and others.

After a while, a fire appeared on the side of the road.

A few Cao soldiers threw the corpses on the fire, and soon a stench with a burnt smell spread.

Cao's army continued to march.

Xu Chu deliberately walked slower, and asked Xun You in a low voice: "Gongzi asked people to send back letters and corpses, obviously there are ghosts in the army, why didn't Cao Gong investigate?" ”

"The inner ghost is not in the army, but in the Cao family." Xun You whispered: "Zhongkang, don't ask more, lest Cao Gong feel unhappy!" ”

Xu Chu nodded, and then asked Xun You: "What Xun Gong means is that the Cao family has internal ghosts who want to harm the son." ”

Xun You also nodded.

"Isn't Childe very dangerous?" Xu Chu said: "Dare to steal Cao Gongyin's fake military order, it's really damned!" ”

"Zhongkang doesn't need to be in a hurry, Cao Gong will definitely investigate." Xun You said: "It's just that I won't check it with much fanfare." ”

While the two were talking, Cao Cao, who was walking in front, shouted, "Gongda, come over here." ”

Xun Yu stepped forward and asked Cao Cao, "What do you have to tell Gong Cao?" ”

"Who do you think would have done it?" Cao Cao asked.

"Cao Gong should already have a candidate in his heart." Xun You said: "I don't know what Cao Gong is going to do? ”

"What should I do with them if they find out?" Cao Cao asked Xun You.

"Fake military orders, intending to murder the second son." Xun You said: "What does Cao Gong think he should do? ”

"My own family, I can't do it!" Cao Cao said: "Why don't you forget it this time? ”

Xun You shook his head with a smile and said, "Gong Cao, if you forget it this time, there will be a fake military order in the future, and it happens to be in time for the war to be tight, what should I do?" ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Cao Cao said: "When you see Zirong, you tell him, go back to Xudu, and let him check it himself!" ”

"What if Childe finds out?" Xun You asked, "What should he do?" ”

"What do you think Zirong will do?" Cao Cao asked.

"If it's Childe's heart, I'm sure he will kill!" Xun You said.

Cao Cao was stunned: "Will you really kill?" ”

"Childe kills, when did you blink your eyes?" Xun You said: "But if you read it in Cao Gong, he will definitely not investigate it too deeply." However, Childe will always be concerned about this matter. ”

"What do you mean......" Cao Cao asked.

"Don't let Childe know." Xun You said: "Cao Gong arranged for someone to investigate, find out the truth and then make a decision!" ”

"Who do you think is appropriate?" Cao Cao asked.

"Li Mancheng." Xun You said: "He is upright, and he was the first to follow Cao Gong, let him check the severity!" ”

Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao said, "Don't tell anyone about this. ”

"Don't worry, Gong Cao, even if Gongzi asks, I will never mention half a word!" Xun Yu responded.

He was muttering in his heart, Gongzi asked if he could not say anything, as long as he told Xu Chu, there was nothing that Gongzi did not know.

Cao Cao led his troops to Qi County, and Cao Shuo had been stationed outside the county for several days.

The Huainan army in the city never moved, and Cao Shuo didn't bother to care about them, so he sent a horse to watch, so he stationed the army outside the city and waited for Cao Cao.

Just after nightfall, Cao Shuo came to Guo Xin and Wang Yan's tent.
