In the hall of the Assassin's Mansion in Shanyang County, Cao Ming was anxiously waiting for the news, as long as the soldiers could hold out for three days, the reinforcements from Yuzhou would definitely arrive, and then let Dian Wei lead the troops to kill, and the rebels would definitely be dumplings.

"Sister has a good thing, the rebels have withdrawn!"

Cao Ang ran into the lobby with a happy face, he saw the rebels pulling out of the camp with his own eyes, and he saw that the situation was difficult and retreated.

"The enemy has retreated?" Cao Ming stared at Cao Ang suspiciously, would the eldest brother be amusing himself, Shanyang County is the most important place in Yanzhou, and the rebels should launch the fiercest attack, but they retreated without a sound.

Cao Ang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "At that time, I thought they were going to attack, but who knew that they were going to retreat, as if they were going to the southeast. ”

After Cao Ming listened to Cao Ang's description, he immediately stared at the map, this southeast direction is Xuzhou, could it be that they are going to fight Cao Cao.

"Why is my sister unhappy?" Cao Ang found that Cao Ming was not happy, but looked worried, could it be that the rebels had made other moves.

Cao Ming explained: "I just couldn't accept it for a while, after all, happiness came too suddenly. ”

Cao Ming originally wanted to lead the troops to rescue Cao Cao who was in trouble, but after thinking about it, it was very inappropriate to do so, because the cause of the Yanzhou Rebellion was Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's pot was still let him carry it, and he couldn't afford to lose his troops for him.

Cao Ang remembered one thing and said, "There is something I want to say, I want to lead the soldiers to help my father, and the affairs of this county town will be handed over to you." ”

Cao Ming refused: "I have issued an edict as the empress, and no one is allowed to leave the city without my order, including leading troops to support my father." ”

"Why? He's your father! ”

Cao Ang couldn't understand Cao Ming's decision, the rebels had already retreated, so why did they stay in the city.

Cao Ming asked, "Can you guarantee that the rebels won't turn around?" We only have 10,000 people in our hands, and they are all temporary defectors, in case they mutiniate again, you can be responsible? ”

Cao Ming knew that Cao Ang was a filial son, but depending on the actual situation, it was obvious that the rebels had an absolute advantage, and they would definitely suffer heavy losses if they rushed to send troops.

Cao Ang still insisted on his thoughts: "Even if I die on the battlefield, I will take someone to save my father and say goodbye!" ”

"Someone, tie him up for me!" Cao Ming didn't expect Cao Ang to be so stubborn, so she had to tie him up.

The two armor soldiers rushed in when they heard the sound, and found that the person to be tied up was Cao Ang, and they stood in place for a while and did not dare to step forward.

"Who dare?" Cao Ang thought to himself that his father had let him take charge of the county town, and these armor soldiers should not have the courage to step forward.

A soldier arched his hand and said: "Niangniang may not know, the lord handed over the big and small affairs to the son, and I am afraid that the generals will not accept it if he is rashly tied." ”

Cao Ming said coldly: "This is an extraordinary time, if the people in power are paranoid, I should be in charge of the affairs of the county, and I will not do it!" ”

"No!" The soldiers knew that Cao Ming had just collected 10,000 rebels, and now she was the hardest fist in the county, and they didn't dare to offend her with their lives.

"Stop!" At the last moment, Bian hurriedly ran into the lobby, and she heard the commotion in the distance, thinking that the two of them were making an awkward noise.

Cao Ming said angrily: "Madame is not embroidering in the house, what are you doing when you come to the lobby?" ”

Cao Ming thought to herself that the Bian family was an elder, and she had to give her face, so she would let Cao Ang go for the time being.

Bian smiled and said: "Didn't I come to persuade you to reconcile, Ang'er is the eldest brother and should be humble to his younger sister, on the contrary, Ming'er also has to take care of the eldest brother's face." ”

Cao Ming nodded and said: "What Madame said is indeed reasonable, brothers and sisters should be humble to each other, and I am afraid that my eldest brother will be hurt when I do this." ”

"It's all big brother who is impulsive!" Cao Ang calmed down and thought about it carefully, he was indeed impulsive just now, no matter how he said that Cao Ming's status was higher than his own.

Bian pulled Cao Ang and said, "Ang'er, come out, I made you a dress, you can try it on to see if it fits." ”

"Good!" Cao Ang knew that Bian had something to say to him, and this had a lot to do with Cao Ming, so he couldn't say it in person.

Cao Ming thought to herself that she was trying on clothes at this time, and she really treated herself as a child to play, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell.

The temperature in Shanyang County is suitable in spring, and it is the time to chat in the corridor pavilion, but Bian has something important to say.

Bian asked the maid to get refreshments, and then said earnestly: "There is one thing I haven't said, in fact, your father and Ming'er are father and daughter on the surface, but in fact, they both have their own forces under their hands, so you have to choose a camp for yourself." ”

"Madame, aren't you joking?" Cao Ang was a little surprised in his heart, this Bian's words were too outrageous, how could my sister have her own power.

Bian said seriously: "The reason why Pi'er and I were able to come back safely is because Yang Heng, the Mu of Yuzhou, led the troops to rescue, and this Yang Heng is your sister's henchman." ”

Cao Ang's hand trembled: "In this way, my sister has been hiding from my father, and I have to write to tell my father if it doesn't work." ”

Bian Shi frowned and said: "That Xizhong is already a lesson from the past, and you still want to follow in his footsteps, you can only swallow things in your stomach." ”

Bian knew in his heart that Xi Zhong threatened Cao Ming, so he died due to an 'accident', but judging from the current situation, she would not do anything out of the ordinary, and she could only pretend that she did not know about it.

"I choose my father!" Cao Ang didn't expect the truth behind it to be like this, but as the eldest son, of course he chose to help Cao Cao.

The next day, in the camp of Cao Jun, Cao Cao was staring at the map with a resentful face, and his most trusted brother turned against him, and it was even more infuriating that Chen Miao supported Lu Bu as the state pastor.

Cao Ren arched his hands and said, "Although we have withdrawn to the state border now, we have become a tired army, and once the rebels attack, our army will be defeated. ”

Cao Ren was worried that the rebels would take the opportunity to sneak attack, and now they are in a very bad state, and they are probably not the opponents of the rebels.

Of course, Cao Cao knew the form in his heart, originally this Xuzhou City was about to be obtained, but who knew that Liu Bei's men and horses were killed halfway, and all his plans were completely disrupted.

Cao Hong pointed to the map and said: "The only good news at present is that Shanyang County, the seat of governance, is still in our hands, and I heard that more than 10,000 rebels have defected to the battle, and it is estimated that eighty percent of them are Ming'er's ghosts." ”

After Cao Cao heard this, his hanging heart finally let go, this treatment was not thrown out of his expectations, maybe Ming'er really used a trick.

Cao Chun added: "According to the report from the spies, there will be a big move in Yuzhou, and I am afraid that they are here to meddle in this matter." ”

Cao Cao patted the table and said: "That Yang Heng was originally a descendant of Yang Chang, and he ran to be a thief in the middle of the road, but he didn't expect to become a hegemon in his power, and now he is bullying me Cao Cao's head, but it's angry!" ”

Cao Cao privately sent someone to check on Yang Heng and found that his family was extraordinary, and his clan brother was Yang Biao, the current Taiwei, no matter how you look at it, he is a person with great ambitions.

At this time, a soldier ran into the camp: "Report to the lord! The rebels have now attacked, and the leader is Lu Bu! ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao pondered: "Although we are a tired army, we still have the ability to fight, and he Lu Bu led troops to attack the camp, and we can fight a decisive battle with it." ”

Cao Ren arched his hand and said: "What if this is a trap, Lu Bu is followed by Mr. Gongtai, and he understands your tactics very thoroughly." ”

Cao Ren thought to himself that his opponents were all acquaintances, and he also knew his own tactics, and once he fought, it would not be unfavorable to his side.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "This tactic is flexible and changeable, even if he Chen Gong lives in my head, he will definitely not be able to guess my intentions." ”

Cao Cao only wants to fight quickly, so even if this is a big trap, he has to grit his teeth to drill it.

At this time, the border of Yanzhou was full of troops, and the banner of the battalion had a Yang character written on it, so there was no need to guess that it must be the army of Yang Heng of Yuzhou.

Yang Heng in the camp is counting the grain and grass, and at present, the elite soldiers in Yuzhou have been brought out, and the total strength has reached about 80,000 people.

Shangguan Qing took out a letter and said: "Niangniang added another letter today, saying that the crisis in Shanyang County has been lifted, let us stay where we are first, and wait until Cao Gong and Lu Bu finish fighting, and then let us help Cao Gong." ”

"Then let's do it according to my mother's wishes!" Yang Heng knew Cao Ming's intentions, she wanted to weaken Cao Cao's strength and prepare accordingly to seize the initiative.

A month later, there was a loud bang in Shanyang County, the source of the sound was the Thorn Shi Mansion, and the people thought it was thunder at first, but who knew that it was caused by man.

Cao Ming almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw Ma Jun's face with soot, it seems that this gunpowder has finally been made, but the power has not reached the standard of killing.

Ma Jun wiped his face and said: "Niangniang, the power of this black powder is good, but it takes some effort to make it, what are you going to use it for?" ”

Cao Ming replied: "Of course, I use ** to fight, otherwise why bother to study, I can't use it to light the fire." ”

Cao Ming thought that in this era, he couldn't make muskets and cannons, so he could only make some primitive and simple sky-shaking thunder, and use sky-shaking thunder to replace the stones on the trebuchet, presumably the power would definitely be greatly improved.

At this time, a soldier came over and said that there was a letter to be handed over to Cao Ming, and Cao Ming opened it to see that it was the latest battle report, which said that the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao had their own wins and losses, but on the whole, Cao Cao was slightly stronger.

Cao Ming thought to himself that Lu Bu was a brave and resourceless person, even if he had the help of Chen Gong by his side, it would be difficult for him to achieve a big climate, it seemed that it was time for Yang Heng to come out.
