Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao has been under a lot of pressure lately.

Regardless of Lao Cao's character, but in terms of ability, there is really nothing to say.

Since the third year of Xiping, the twenty-year-old Cao Cao has made his debut with filial piety, and he has been disciplined and governed; ruling the powerful and seeking eunuchs; Cutting the yellow scarf, punishing Dong Zhuo, and having no achievements in martial arts. It can be said that on top of the official career, every mountain opens a road and meets a water to fill a bridge, no matter how big the hurdle is, it is just an opportunity for Cao Cao to make meritorious contributions, and there is basically no pressure at all.

But this merit is getting bigger and bigger, and the officials are getting higher and higher, and Cao Cao naturally wants more and more things in his heart.

Since being welcomed by Chen Gong, Bao Xin, etc. as Yanzhou pastor, with the help of the giant Wei family, who has the back of a wealthy family, Cao Cao vigorously rectified the state governance, Yuan Shao outside, and raised talents inside, and in less than half a year, Yanzhou in the land of the four wars was governed like an iron bucket, which was absolutely amazing, so that the world did not dare to underestimate it, and once increased Cao Cao's self-confidence.

Until, the idea of Qingzhou was marked.

I don't know what Fa Xiao Yuan Shao thinks, you want Qingzhou but you can't spare your hands for a while, our Lao Cao has food and time, he doesn't take care of his brothers, but he plays Lu Bu as the pastor of Qingzhou. The head was turned and smashed or something?

Even if Lu Bu killed Dong Fat, who harmed your whole family, and has a favor with you, but he doesn't have such a favor to repay the favor!

Who is Lu Bu? When the princes were discussing Dong, your old Yuan Gui was the leader of the princes of the 18th Road in Kanto, and he was not blocked outside the Tiger Prison Pass by himself. If it weren't for the eventual change, you, Lao Yuan, the leader of the princes, would really become the laughing stock of the world. Aren't you afraid that after Lu Bu stabilizes Qingzhou, he will stumble you behind your Jizhou?

Cao Cao really couldn't figure it out.

What made Cao Cao even more depressed was that Lu Bu seemed to be in conflict with him Cao Cao, as long as he got the slightest touch, Cao Cao often couldn't get down.

In the suburbs of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned the city and moved the capital, and all the princes were content with the status quo and refused to send troops. It stands to reason that this is in line with the righteousness, and it should be favored by God, and if it is not good, it can also make some benefits! But the result? If it weren't for Cao Hong, who had been inexplicably missing for a long time, I was afraid that Cao Cao's old life would have been confessed.

Well, at that time, it was both the enemy and the enemy. Our old Cao carelessly fell for your ambush, it is right to be defeated, victory or defeat is the common sense of soldiers, we are broad-minded and can see it.

But last time, you Lu Bu only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but only 7,000 soldiers, and when he was attacked by our old Cao's 40,000 army in three ways, and had become a turtle in an urn, he actually relied on that kid who appeared out of thin air, and through the strange means of not being a god or a ghost, he successfully escaped, not to mention, and our old Cao's vitality was greatly injured, isn't this luck too good?

Okay, that thing is not authentic, it should be regarded as being damned, Lao Cao, I am still broad-minded, and it will pass with a smile. No, don't you Lu Bu want to stabilize Qingzhou? Let's send you low-level officials to help, right? Your old Lu always wants to deal with the yellow turbans, let's help you call them over, that's interesting, right? Even if we Lao Cao have some other ideas in our hearts, we have done this, how much can you give us some face so that we can also make some benefits along the way? After defeating the invading enemy, he forced the important strategist Cheng Yu to disappear, and detained the two brothers of the Lao Cao family and the spokesperson of the Lao Wei family, the god of wealth in Yanzhou? How hurtful this is!

When Cao Cao was running out of ideas, the house leak happened to rain overnight. You said that Lu Bu alone added to our blockage. You said that why did your Yuan family's junior second child take advantage of this time to bring outsiders to cause trouble? Still think Yanzhou is not chaotic? I think that we were also called the "Three Evils of Luoyang" in Luoyang back then, how much love there was at that time! Why are you old, first your brother Yuan Shao was not righteous, and now it's your turn again? In addition to having a little special fetish, our Lao Cao is not a bad person, how can he encounter these pickled things, and he will not let him have a good time, isn't this unlucky! And now that there are not many troops in Yanzhou, the good generals are left with the Xiahou brothers, Yu Ban Li Dian and others, and in the face of Yuan Shu's sudden 50,000 coalition troops, Cao Cao's Yali Mountain is big!

"My lord! Lord? In the middle of the governance, Mao Jue asks to see! Just as Cao Cao received one bad news after another and locked himself in the study of the Yanzhou Pastoral Mansion to adjust himself, a servant came to report the arrival of Mao Jue in Yanzhou.

"Filial piety? Hurry up, please! Mao Jue is known for being honest and upright, and he is a rare capable minister in Yanzhou, Cao Cao relied on him very much, and hurriedly ordered.

"Zhongde!? You're back? It's good to be back! Isn't there anything wrong with your body? Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't see Mao Jue when he came to the middle hall, but he saw Cheng Yu, whose hair was scattered and disheveled, and he was dirty and messy, kneeling straight outside the middle hall. Cao Cao's eyes flashed with anger, but there was a look of concern on his face, and he asked in a gentle tone. It seems that this mistake is not related to Cheng Yu's miscalculation, and is more concerned about Cheng Yu's physical condition in such a situation.

"Sinner Cheng Yu, thank you for your concern!" Cheng Yu has been lying on the ground, and he didn't notice Cao Cao's eyes, hearing Cao Cao's gentle words and comfort, his tall body trembled, and he said with tears: "The defeat of Jinan this time caused the two Cao generals to be captured by Lu Bu thieves, Wei Bodao is nowhere to be found, and he must also be in prison. Cheng Yu is willing to surrender to the law! ”

"This matter must be blamed on Zhongde, Zixiaozi and the two brothers are not in a good position to fight this time, in the final analysis, it is all caused by Cao's underestimation of the enemy!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, held Cheng Yu's arm and helped him up, made a big smile on his face, and said, "Sir, hurry up, don't say. In the future, I will have to rely on the wisdom of Mr., just this rescue strategy, and you also need to pay more attention to Zhongde! ”

"The grace of the lord, Yu Wan can't repay it!" Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao's words, stretched out his arm and knelt down at Cao Cao again, the younger fifty people couldn't cry for a while, but Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, and his sigh became heavier.

"My lord! Mr. Chung-tak! Under the guidance of the servants, Mao Jue walked all the way towards the middle hall, and happened to see this "touching" scene. Seeing the appearance of Cao Cao and Cheng Yu, apart from saying hello, he didn't say much.

"Xiaoxian, why is there such an urgency? Could it be that Yuan Shu has moved? Seeing Mao Jue's solemn expression, Cao Cao pursed his lips, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Yanzhou's troops may be short of food and grass?" Or did the Southern Hun thieves plunder a few more county seats? ”

"Back to my lord! Mao Jue is not here for Yuan Shu's business! Mao Jue cautiously glanced at Cheng Yu's figure, groaned slightly, and saluted Cao Cao: "It's news from Qingzhou!" ”

"Oh? What to say? Cao Cao now heard the word Qingzhou as if he was allergic, his narrow eyes narrowed even more, and he asked coldly: "Didn't Lu Bu see that I had something in Yanzhou, so he gave birth to the idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, right?" ”

"This ......" Mao Jue didn't respond to Cao Cao's words, but looked at Cheng Yu again, who looked down, as if he had some scruples, and didn't speak.

"Zhongde is not an outsider, filial piety is what he said!" Cao Cao had just deliberately moved Cheng Yu, so naturally he would not do embarrassing things such as asking Cheng Yu to avoid such an issue, and motioned for Mao Yu to continue.

"No!" Seeing Cheng Yu's gratitude to Cao Cao's words, Mao Yu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the lord, there is news from Qingzhou, three days ago, after Lu Bu learned about Yuan Shu, he had already sent an envoy to Chen Liu!" ”

"Lu Bu? Have you ever heard that Lu Bu's envoy is here? Doesn't this guy take advantage of this great opportunity to take revenge on us, but why should he send a messenger at this time? Do you want to humiliate me? With Cao Cao's understanding of Lu Bu, it's not that Lu Bu can't do this kind of thing. Cao Cao's face turned a little blue, but because of the presence of the two subordinates, he could only secretly gasp for breath and ask casually.

"The source is not high, and the clues obtained are limited, but according to him, it seems that he has something to do with the return of the two generals Cao and the Wei family!" Mao Jue replied. Because Cao Cao got Cheng Yu's plan, the officials sent to Qingzhou to "assist" in the administration were basically Yanzhou civil officials from Qingzhou who were loyal to Cao Cao selected by Mao Jue, and Mao Jue also assumed the function of part of the intelligence transfer station.

"What? Return Zixiao and Zihe? Lu Bu is crazy? Zhongde, let's see what Lu Bu's intention is? Cao Cao felt that he couldn't understand Lu Bu's thoughts. It stands to reason that he provoked Lu Bu so many times, and with the impression of Lu Bu's brutal and brutal character, it was easy to capture the two generals who were Cao Cao's brothers in the same clan, even if he didn't bring the sacrificial flag during the expedition to Yanzhou, he would at least be imprisoned until death. Why do you have to return it so easily? Cao Cao felt a little confused for a while, and asked Cheng Yudao, who was also confused beside him.

"The two generals Cao are guarding together, are they okay?" Cheng Yu frowned, and couldn't figure out what Lu Bu's intentions were, so he asked urgently.

"It is reported that the two Cao generals were detained in Jinan and guarded by the flying cavalry battalion under Lu Bu. But in addition to being beaten a few times on the street, Wei Jiaziwei's life was worry-free! Mao Jue didn't care much about Cheng Yu's tone, and calmly explained what he said and discussed, and bowed to Cao Cao and wanted to leave.

"Wait! Brother Xiaoxian! In a hurry just now, it was Yu who was rude! Don't be surprised by filial piety! Cheng Yu is just Shou Zhang Ling, but he just spoke in a commanding tone to Mao Jue in Yanzhou, and he also knew that he had lost his words, and immediately apologized to Mao Jue in front of Cao Cao. But there was a doubt that always lingered in Cheng Yu's heart, and he couldn't help but stop Mao Yu from speaking.

"Zhongde is much older! It doesn't have to be this way! Seeing Cao Cao beside him, Mao Jue also knew that Cheng Yu was like this, so he didn't bother with Cheng Yu much, stopped and asked.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Cheng Yu arched his hand to Mao Jue, and asked eagerly: "I don't know if Brother Xiao Xian has any news, who Lu Bu sent to Yanzhou this time?" ”

"It seems to be surnamed Qin! I heard that he is still Lu Bu's son-in-law! As for the specific situation of this person, I don't know. Mao Jue said indifferently. As the chief political officer of Yanzhou, Mao Jue's mind has always been on how to govern Yanzhou. In addition, he adheres to the way of his ministers and generally does not participate in military operations, and the failure of Cao Jun's two operations was also deliberately concealed, so even if Mao Jue had heard of Qin Xu, he didn't know much about Qin Xu's age after learning about it.

Mao Jue didn't expect that he just said a surname, which caused Cheng Yu and Cao Cao to blurt out. Cheng Yu's eyes were full of evil fire, and Cao Cao even subconsciously lifted the corners of his clothes......

"What? It turned out to be him?! ”

"This shaft dares to come, please kill the lord!!"
