"Ming'er will pay attention, please rest assured father!"

Cao Ming's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cao Cao was going to hold himself accountable, but he didn't expect the other party to choose to give up, it seems that he still can't bear to do it.

Cao Cao felt helpless and said, "Okay, you continue to read, I still have important things to do." ”

After Cao Cao left the house, he went straight to the living room in the mansion, and now he felt uneasy in his heart, this snow wolf army was so loyal to Cao Ming, and he didn't think about himself as a state pastor at all.

Xi Zhong was studying the map in the living room at this time, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to come in angry, and it seemed that he had quarreled with someone.

"My lord, what happened to you?" Xi Zhong knows Cao Cao's temper very well, there is no major event, it will not be like this, it is because someone in the local area has rebelled.

Cao Cao stared at the map for a while, and then said puzzledly: "The direction of the Snow Wolf Army is Yuzhou, which is now a mess, even if it is 20,000 elites, it will not be even, and the Snow Wolf Army has no logistics supply, what do they rely on to make a living." ”

Xi Zhong said anxiously: "Why is the lord acting recklessly, even if he wants to plot Xuzhou, he doesn't have to be in a hurry, now 20,000 elites are considered to be in it." ”

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Can I give such an order, this is all an order from my daughter, I knew that she was so reckless and impulsive, I shouldn't have let her lead the troops in the first place." ”

Cao Cao now regrets his original decision, although Cao Ming will definitely not betray him, but it will be detrimental to himself if he is allowed to be reckless.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said to Xi Zhong: "You go to find twenty strong armor warriors, you must be the elite of the elite, preferably some people who know martial arts, let them show me the queen, and she is not allowed to leave the Assassin's Mansion for half a step." ”

"Twenty or twenty?" Xi Zhong was shocked in his heart, could it be that this queen is a monster, how could she send so many people to guard it.

Cao Cao admonished again: "If she dares to resist, you will say that it is my order, presumably she knows the importance in her heart." ”

"No!" Xi Zhong found Cao Ren with Cao Cao's orders, then selected twenty armor soldiers in the tiger and leopard camp, and led the armor soldiers to surround Cao Ming's courtyard.

Cao Ming was lying on the bed taking a nap, when he suddenly felt a noise in the room, and when he got up, he saw that it was Cao Cao's advisor Xi Zhong, who was holding the sword hanging in his room.

"What are you doing?" Cao Ming looked at Xi Zhong in confusion, and it didn't look like this guy was here to steal things, because he didn't run for money.

Xi Zhong took Cao Ming's sword and said, "Niangniang doesn't know, weapons should not be hung in this house, especially a woman like you." ”

The corners of Cao Ming's mouth lifted and said: "Sir, is it playing tricks on me, when I count to three in my mouth, I hope this sword can be hung back." ”

"Smack!" Xi Zhong turned around and was about to run out, but Cao Ming reacted immediately, and chased after him with the strength under his feet.

As soon as poor Xizhong stepped out of the threshold, he was caught by Cao Ming and pulled back, he finally understood what Cao Cao said, it turned out that the queen's skills were so good.

After Cao Ming closed the door of the house, he clenched his fists and said, "Why is Mr. so panicked, he is about to run away before he finishes two sentences, it is because there is a ghost in his heart." ”

Xi Zhong was shocked into a cold sweat and said: "Niangniang doesn't know, all this is the meaning of the lord, now the courtyard is full of armor, let's live in peace for a while." ”

Cao Ming opened the door suspiciously, there were indeed many armor soldiers standing in the courtyard, and all of them were strong Cao Jun's elites, it seemed that Xi Zhong was indeed not lying.

Cao Ming thought that Xi Zhong must have said something, and immediately asked: "You must have told him something, otherwise he has no reason to do it." ”

Xi Zhong nodded and said: "So far, I don't want to hide anything, I did make a statement to the lord, it is because of your reckless actions that the lives of 20,000 soldiers will be involved." ”

Cao Ming explained: "Since I dare to throw these 20,000 elites out, I have already thought of the next countermeasures, I don't know if Mr. dares to make a bet with me, just bet on whether this snow wolf army will take Yuzhou." ”

Xi Zhong is also young and vigorous, and agreed on the spot: "I should make this bet of Niangniang, I will bet that the Snow Wolf Army will definitely fail miserably, I don't know what Niangniang is going to bet on?" ”

Cao Ming thought about it for a while and said: "Gambling items and the like are too vulgar, why don't we bet on something new, and whoever loses will wash their feet for three days." ”

After listening to Xi Zhong, his jaw of surprise was about to drop: "This bet must not be beaten, if you let Niangniang wash your feet for you, wouldn't it be a capital crime." ”

Cao Ming said with a smile: "Mr. doesn't have to worry about the capital crime, this bet is so decided, if Ming'er really loses, she will definitely keep her promise and serve Mr. for three days." ”

Xi Zhongyi gritted his teeth and said: "Since Niangniang is not afraid of losing the bet, then I have no reason to be afraid, don't regret it when the time comes." ”

"Withdraw!" Xi Zhong gave orders to the soldiers, who put away their swords and withdrew from the courtyard, apparently intending to delay their imprisonment.

After Cao Ming saw this scene, her hanging heart finally let go, but this incident also reminded herself that Cao Cao did not absolutely trust herself, and maybe there would be differences of opinion between the two in the future.

The invasion of the Snow Wolf Army was silent, but it also attracted the attention of all parties, and the temperature in Yuzhou instantly burned to the boiling point.

Two months later, in the Jizhou Assassin's Mansion, Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the letter, which said that there was a thief army in Yuzhou, and he did not indicate which force he represented, anyway, he fought when he saw other officers and soldiers, and also robbed the convoy transporting military rations, and his behavior was very bad and shameless.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao said: "Recently, there has been a team similar to the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, should we send troops to crusade against them, I heard that many people have suffered losses in their hands." ”

Xu You thought for a moment and said: "Lord Qiqi, I have heard a little about the thieves in Yuzhou, it is said that these thieves have their own affairs, and their spheres of influence are all over Yuzhou, and the tactics used are very peculiar, they all use night attacks or sneak attack tactics, and never come into direct contact with the official army. ”

Yuan Shaohu doubted: "What's the difference between this bandit, Yuzhou is enough to settle it, why do you want to ask the states for help?" ”

Xu You said in an admiring tone: "After these thieves robbed the military rations, they distributed them to the people in addition to their own use, and even helped the people build houses and repair canals, and the people said that they were sent from heaven, and it was unheard of to train people who could train such an army, no wonder the local counties were in a hurry, this momentum was uncontrollable!" ”

Yuan Shao patted the case and said: "Aren't these thieves messing around, not to mention robbing the army food, but also distributing it to Diao Min, informing the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, ordering them to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Yuzhou, and be sure to eliminate this gang of thieves." ”

In the camp of the Snow Wolf Army, Shangguan Qing was studying the map, and Yang Heng next to him complained: "Sir, I don't understand, we have been fighting for a month, and we haven't even taken a county seat until now, but we have taken a lot of broken villages." ”

Shangguan Qing shook his head and smiled: "You only have the cities in Yuzhou in your eyes, but you haven't found that the land in Yuzhou is ours, and now no matter who enters or leaves Yuzhou, it depends on the mood of the two of us." ”

Yang Heng suddenly understood: "If we don't occupy the city, they won't be able to figure out our location, who would have thought that the Snow Wolf Army is hiding in the village and living with the people, this trick was come up by Mr." ”

Shangguan Qing waved his hand and said: "This is the queen's mother's trick, I only recently discovered the mystery, not to mention that this trick is simply amazing, we help each other with the people, with the help of their identities to wait for the opportunity, even if the enemy is several times more than us, there is no way to take us, so that we can develop more soldiers, I believe that it will not be long before the Yuzhou government will have to be evacuated." ”

Two days later, there was a large army marching on the official road, and it could be seen from the word Yan Wen that they were the army sent by Yuan Shao.

Yan Liang rode a horse and looked at the surrounding mountains, and then said to Wen Chou beside him: "The lord asked us to fight the thief army, but now there is not even a shadow of the thief army. ”

"I don't know what to do!" Wen Chou has led his troops to fight for many years, and he has never had the situation he has today, and he doesn't even know the position of his opponent.

"Report! Big things are wrong! A sentry galloped over on horseback, with a slight panic on his face, as if something had really happened.

Yan Liang saw that the sentry came from behind, and thought to himself that there must be a problem with the grain and grass, but he arranged a heavy escort, so there should be no mistake.

The sentry voice trembled: "Originally, we were escorting grain and grass, but we met a large number of fleeing people, they stopped the convoy and did not let them go, we planned to drive them away by force, whoever wanted to be a thief army mixed in it, they and the people rushed up and defeated us, and then the grain was divided among the people, and the grain that could not be taken was burned." ”

"Retreat!" Yan Liang felt that there was no need to fight anymore, he had just entered Yuzhou and lost a month's worth of food, and if he continued to fight like this, these 30,000 people would have to starve to death.

"What kind of battle is this!" Yuan Shao looked at the battle report with an angry face, the 30,000 army didn't do anything, and let people withdraw after grabbing the food.

Xu You shook his head with a smile and said: "I think General Yan did the right thing, after all, the thief army is in the shadows now, if it forcibly enters the hinterland of Yuzhou, it is likely to be ambushed by the other party, and I have a plan to solve this matter." ”

"Sir, say it!" Yuan Shao has no temper now, this thief army is so cunning that people can't even catch a single hair.

Xu You nodded and said: "I think that if you simply list the leader of the thief army as Yuzhou Mu, this will drive them out of the shadows, and then find a reason to deal with them." ”

Yuan Shao accepted Xu You's suggestion: "I can only do this now, I want to see what kind of immortals they are." ”
