Guo Tu left Penglai, first took a warship to the vicinity of Donglai, and then changed to a small boat to dock. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Jun on the shore interrogated the reason, did not dare to detain him easily, and sent someone to send him to Yecheng.

From Donglai to Yecheng, the distance is not very close.

After walking for more than ten days, Guo Tu came to the outside of Yecheng City.

Looking at the towering city wall, Guo Tu felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.

Yecheng, which once belonged to the Yuan family, has now changed owners.

The one who accompanied Guo Tu to Yecheng was Zang Ba, who had earlier defeated the Yuan army in Qingzhou with Sun Guan.

"Guo Gong, please enter the city!" He gestured to Guo Tu.

Zang Ba didn't plan to escort Guo Tu personally.

Guo Tu landed in Donglai, and someone had already reported to Cao Cao.

Guo Tu arrived at Zang Ba's station, and Cao Cao's order also arrived at the same time.

Cao Cao ordered him to personally escort Guo Tu without the slightest delay.

Not daring to disobey Cao Cao's orders, Zang Ba led more than 100 cavalry to escort Guo Tu all the way to Yecheng.

Guo Tu came, but no one in the city came to greet him.

It wasn't until he entered the city that he came over more than a dozen horses.

The first person Guo Tu recognized.

It was Cui Yan, who had followed Yuan Tan's side earlier.

Seeing Guo Tu from afar, Cui Yan arched his hand and said: "A certain person came to greet him on the order of Cao Gong, because he was late for trivial matters, and I hope that Guo Gong will not be blamed!" ”

Guo Tu returned the salute and did not speak.

Seeing Cui Yan, he was full of anger and didn't fight anywhere!

Although he likes to slip around and shoot horses, Guo Tu decided to follow the Yuan family.

When Nanpi City was broken, he was ready to die.

Fortunately, Yuan Xu sent the Night Thorn to save him, otherwise he would have been a dry skeleton outside Nanpi City at this time.

Seeing that Guo Tu didn't respond, Cui Yan didn't say much to him, and said to the side: "Guo Gong, please!" ”

Without even glancing at Cui Yan, Guo Tu rode past him.

Cui Yan followed behind Guo Tu and did not come forward to talk.

Seeing this, Zang Ba frowned.

Cui Yan glanced at him, but Zang Ba's words came to his lips before he spoke.

The place where Cao Cao stayed was the Yuan family that day.

Liu Xie came to Yecheng, but Cao Cao did not build a palace for him.

Liu Xie and Fu Hou also lived in the Yuan family's mansion, but where they lived, many guards were installed, and no one was allowed to go there without permission except Cao Cao.

Guo Tu entered the Yuan family's mansion.

Looking at the familiar grass and trees, he was even more emotional.

The mansion is still the same as before, and even the grass and trees have not changed much, but the owner here is no longer his former lord, but has been replaced by Cao Cao, who has been an enemy of the Yuan family for many years.

Filled with emotion, Guo Tu looked left and right as he walked, as if he wanted to imprint every inch of the scenery here in his mind.

"Guo Gong!" After entering the back garden, when he arrived at Yuan Shao's former residence, Cui Yan said: "Cao Gong has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Without even looking at him, Guo Tu snorted softly.

was never treated by Guo Tu, Cui Yan was not dry, followed him, and walked towards Cao Cao's residence.

When he arrived outside Cao Cao's house, a strong man stepped forward to stop Guo Tu: "Guo Gong is missing, and Cao Gong is a certain person!" ”

This person Guo Tu also recognizes.

He was Cao Cao's bodyguard, Xu Chu.

Holding his fists and arching towards Xu Chu, Guo Tu said: "There is General Lao!" ”

Xu Chu returned the salute and entered Cao Cao's house.

Guo Tu has always ignored Cui Yan, but he is very polite to Xu Chu, not because he is afraid of Xu Chu, but because Xu Chu followed Cao Cao in his early years, it is not the Yuan family who surrendered to the past.

The two armies are conquests, each with its own master, and Guo Tu certainly will not have a bad feeling towards Xu Chu.

Xu Chu entered the house, but folded it out again after a moment.

He clenched his fists and said to Guo Tu: "Cao Gong is invited!" ”

"There is General Law!" Guo Tu thanked him and entered Cao Cao's house.

Cao Cao sat behind a low table, seemingly casually flipping through a book.

Hearing someone enter, he looked up.

Seeing that it was Guo Tu, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and asked him, "Guo Gong is not by Yuan Xianxin's side, why did he come to Yecheng?" ”

"It was on the order of the fifth prince that he came to see Cao Gong." Guo Tu bowed his hand and said, "I heard that Cao Gong recently ordered to block the Qingzhou port, I don't know what it means?" ”

Speaking of Qingzhou Port, Cao Cao stroked his beard and said: "There are many pirates in the East China Sea, and it is also for the peace of the people. ”

"The fifth prince occupies Penglai, and Cao Gong is not ignorant!" Guo Tu said: "Earlier, Duke Cao and the fifth prince attacked each other, and if the port was blocked, the prince would have nothing to say. Now that Gongzi has ceded Hebei, and Cao Gong has also signed a peace treaty, why did he do such a thing? ”

"So-and-so has said it!" Cao Cao said: "The blockade of the port is because there are many pirates, and they are counting for the people!" ”

Before Cao Cao spoke, Guo Tu raised his face and smiled.

"What is Guo Gong laughing at?" Cao Cao asked.

"The five princes occupy Penglai, the pirates have long been exterminated, in the East China Sea, there are no soldiers except Penglai soldiers, how can they disturb the people?" Guo Tu said: "If Duke Cao and Gongzi do not make a peace treaty and block the port, Gongzi can send troops to break it. Now that the peace agreement is in place, the son has the intention to send troops, but he refuses to lose his faith. But it is Cao Gong, who made a peace treaty before, and then did something to cut off people's back roads, isn't it shameful? ”

was robbed by Guo Tu, and Cao Cao's face was a little ugly.

He frowned, and stared at Guo Tu angrily: "Guo Gong is here, could it be that Yuan Xianxin intends to declare war on someone?" ”

"Cao Gong, don't misinterpret the meaning of a certain sentence!" Guo Tu said: "Gongzi has no intention of going to war, he only hopes that Cao Gong will open the Qingzhou port, at least allow Penglai merchant ships to come and go." ”

Pinching his chin, Cao Cao said: "Yuan Xianxin occupies Xuzhou, and the Penglai merchant ship wants to go ashore, but from Xuzhou, why do you want to open the Qingzhou port?" ”

Guo Tu said: "Merchant ships have to take a long detour from Xuzhou to Bingzhou and other places, and even Yanzhou has to pass through Yuzhou to arrive. In this way, not to mention the time it takes, the caravan is also several times more expensive. When a businessman walks, he has to calculate the cost, but Cao Gong can't be compassionate? ”

"Open the port, it's cheaper Yuan Xianxin!" Cao Cao said: "It's not good for a certain person at all, and it doesn't ...... at all."

"How can it be good?" Guo Tu interrupted Cao Cao: "Dare to ask Cao Gong, what do you need to domesticate soldiers and horses now?" ”

"Copper coins!" Cao Cao said without thinking about it.

"What Cao Gong said is very true!" Guo Tu said: "Domesticating soldiers and horses is a copper coin, and now the high-ranking cadres of the state have not surrendered to Cao Gong, and Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang of Youzhou are also leading the army to block Cao Gong. As for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Sun Quan in Jiangdong, although he did not go to war with Cao Gong, he was an enemy sooner or later. Let's ask Cao Gong, in the world, is there still a place for businessmen? ”

"Guo Gong is ......" Cao Cao still hesitated.

"Cao Gong opened the Qingzhou port, and after the Penglai merchant ship landed, it will definitely sell goods to local merchants!" Guo Tu said: "In this way, the merchants of Cao Gong can sell the goods, and they can also get what they need from the Penglai merchants!" (To be continued.) )
