King Wu Tiande, who suddenly arrived, forced Cao Ying to divide his troops, and Huang Shao's defeated army, who was hiding in Dingling City, was of course ecstatic, but the reinforcements immediately withdrew, and Huang Shaojun also said that King Wu Tiande could not resist Cao Jun and was forced to retreat, and was stunned and surprised, of course, he was disappointed, and he also scolded that there was no support army in the world that could be relied on, and finally saw that when Cao Jun suddenly retreated north, Huang Shao's army was inevitably confused, and he didn't know what happened.

The Yellow Turban thieves are not without talents, at least the Yellow Turban General who led the army to the death to protect Huang Shao and returned to Dingling guessed the reason, and suggested that Huang Shao send someone to the north to investigate, but the scout horse who went out of the city to reconnoiter did not go for long, and brought back the news of the fire in the north, Huang Shaojun only then understood the reason for Cao Jun's retreat, and once again cheered like thunder, and was grateful to the king Wu Tiande who did not know and helped him to the bone marrow, good man!

After a few repeated tosses from hell to heaven, King Wu Tiande's infantry brigade finally arrived outside Dingling City, and also sent the messenger Li Lang last time to inform the news, saying that it was the general who came to lead the army, but the military advisor Xiao Zhang Liang Lu Jing and Deputy Marshal Sun Tai under the command of King Wu Tiande, asked Huang Shao to go out of the city to meet, Huang Shao, who had been killed and injured by more than half of the main force, was of course overjoyed after hearing it, and immediately ordered to open the city gate and personally lead the army out of the city to meet the Lu army division.

"Wait, King." At this time, the yellow turban general who had saved Huang Shao and guessed that the gentleman's army was going to attack the back of Cao's army jumped out again, pulled Huang Shao's sleeve and reminded: "Please be careful, I don't know if the king has paid attention, although the team of this king Wu Tiande is dressed in yellow scarves, but the march and battle are very disciplined, strict discipline, unified action, and it is by no means an ordinary rabble, please act cautiously and find out the details of this King Wu Tiande." ”

"Uncle Zhi, King Wu came to the rescue, why are you so suspicious?" Huang Shao was a little unhappy, and scolded: "What do you mean when you say that King Wu's team is by no means an ordinary rabble?" Did I reject your suggestions to rectify military discipline several times, and you think my team is a rabble? ”

The yellow turban general was silent, so he had to shut up obediently, and Huang Shao no longer paid attention to him, left him in the city to guard the city, led a group of deputy marshals of the second king of the house, opened the east gate of Dingling and went out of the city, and went to meet with Marshal Sun and Lu Junshi who were already waiting in line outside the east gate, leaving the yellow turban general to shake his head and sigh on the broken city wall, and secretly scolded the loyalty.

Huang Shao and Sun Guan's meeting was very pleasant, the two not only speculated in words, but even the smell of fox on their bodies was almost the same, and it was naturally convenient and easy to communicate, and when he learned that the reason why King Wu Tiande did not appear was because he went to the north to contain the Cao army, Huang Shao was even more excited, and he was also very grateful, and hurriedly saluted Sun Guan and Lu Su to thank him, "Thank you Marshal Sun, thank you Lu Junshi, the whole army of Dingling Yellow Turban, all rely on the two and King Wu to live, I am really grateful." ”

"King Huang, don't be too happy." Sun Guan took the opportunity to threaten: "The Cao thief is powerful, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, even if our King Wu personally goes out, I'm afraid we won't be able to contain the Cao thief for much time, and the Cao thief may make a comeback at any time." ”

"Hasn't the grain and grass of the Cao thief been burned by King Wu?" Huang Shao, who had already been killed by Cao Jun, asked in surprise.

"The time was too rushed, and it couldn't be burned, at most only half of Cao Ying's baggage and military supplies were burned." Lu Su interjected and said: "If it is not expected, after Cao Ying reorganizes his troops and horses, he will inevitably come south to attack your Dingling of King Huang, and then Chen Guojun of our King Wu, and the He Yi brothers and Gong Du and Liu Pi of Runan are also in trouble, and they will be Cao Ying's target sooner or later." ”

"Cao Ying wants to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army in our two counties of Ruying?" Huang Shao asked in surprise.

"Of course." Lu Su nodded and explained: "The locust plague in Yanzhou, the famine is serious, Cao Ying's army can only rely on human flesh to satisfy hunger, in order to rob the grain to survive the famine, Cao Ying will never let go of any Yellow Turban King who has food in his hands, so not only Huang Dawang you can't run away, but our Wu Dawang can't run away either, because Cao Ying must know that the grain of Chen Guojun has fallen into the hands of our Wu Dawang." ”

What Lu Su said was originally the truth, Huang Shao was not stupid, and naturally he would not fail to understand the truth that Cao Jun would inevitably use soft persimmons when he was short of food, so Huang Shao's face changed suddenly, and the other yellow turban thieves next to him recalled the tragic scene when they fought with Cao Jun before, and they were inevitably frightened and frightened. Lu Su observed his words and took the opportunity to say: "King Huang, there is another thing that I am very sorry for, in view of the fact that the Cao army is strong and difficult to resist the enemy, our King Wu has decided to retreat to Chen State, so as not to take advantage of the main force of our army to sneak attack our army's grain storage land Chen Guocheng. ”

"King Wu wants to withdraw his troops?" Huang Shao was completely panicked, and hurriedly asked, "Lu Junshi, Marshal Sun, why is King Wu in a hurry to withdraw his troops?" I have seen it just now, King Wu's cavalry fought very well, killed a lot of Cao thief soldiers, and burned Cao thief's grain and grass baggage, which has already frightened Cao thief, so why hurry to retreat? Why don't you stay in this Dingling City and join forces with our army to defend against the enemy? ”

Speaking of this, Huang Shao hurriedly added, "As for King Wu's grain and grass military supplies, please rest assured that Lu Junshi and General Sun are all on me, and they will definitely let King Wu's team eat and drink well, and if they defeat Cao thieves in the future, I will definitely repay King Wu heavily." The other Yellow Turban generals also had this thought, and they all opened their mouths to stay, begging Lu Su and Sun Guan to lead the army to stay and protect their lair.

"King, you have won the award, in my heart, in fact, our army is not the opponent of Cao Jun." Lu Su said a big truth, and said: "The reason why our King Wu was able to sneak attack Cao Jun's baggage team was completely because he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, got lucky, and faced the enemy head-on, and our army was still no match for Cao Ying. Therefore, King Wu has decided to withdraw the army to Chen Guocheng as soon as possible, and confront Cao's army with a strong city, so that there is a little hope. ”

"yes." Sun Guan echoed: "King Huang, we are all Yellow Turban Army, and it is supposed to help you retreat from the enemy, but if our main force leaves Chen State for a long time, and Cao Thief divides his troops to attack Chen State, then our grain land will be in trouble." So I'm sorry, we're going to have to withdraw our troops by tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

"Don't, don't." Huang Shao was even more anxious, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Marshal Sun, you are gone, what should we do?" ”

"King Huang, this is also what our King Wu wants to ask you." Lu Su took the opportunity to ask: "As the saying goes, brothers work together, their profits are gold, you and I are both Yellow Turban brothers, I wonder if King Huang is interested in joining forces with our army to fight against Cao Jun?" ”

"Of course I do." Huang Shao, who had already lost most of the main force, shouted excitedly, "As long as King Wu is willing to join forces with our army, I am also willing to form a brother with a different surname with King Wu and live and die together." ”

"Since King Huang is willing, then he will be blunt." Lu Su said calmly: "Our King Wu has explained, if King Huang is willing to form an alliance with our army to resist the enemy, then please ask King Huang to lead his headquarters to march east with our army and go to Chen Guocheng to join forces to resist the enemy." The city of Chen Guo is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there is the protection of canals and natural dangers, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, your two armies stick to Chen Guo, and they will definitely be able to hold on for a long time, and when the Cao army runs out of food or changes in the rear, the Cao army will inevitably retreat without a fight. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su also added, and said generously: "Of course, after King Huang's team arrived in Chen Guocheng, the grain and grass were also in charge of our army, and now the grain and grass in the five counties of Chen Guoyi County have fallen into the hands of our army, which is enough for our army and your army to hold out for more than four months." ”

"This ......" Huang Shao was a little hesitant, although Huang Shao's hundred people were willing to join forces with King Wu's team to fight the enemy, and he was also grateful to Lu Su and others for their kindness, but Huang Shao was not worried, so he didn't dare to agree casually.

"King Huang, are you worried that we will swallow you?" Sun Guan was a little unhappy, and said: "King Huang can go and inquire, my Sun Tai has joined forces with no less than ten Yellow Turban teams, whose team has he swallowed?" If King Huang is worried, then we haven't said what we just said. ”

"Marshal Sun misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Huang Shao hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Don't misunderstand Lu Junshi and Marshal Sun, you are such a righteous and thin cloud, how can I worry about you making an annexation?" I'm worried about another thing, I also have some grain, grass and baggage in this Dingling City, if I go to Chen Country with my team, these things will fall into the hands of Cao Thief. ”

"I see." Lu Su nodded, and said lightly: "King Huang, what's so difficult about this?" With the main force of our army here, I can cover you, can you just bring these grains and grass to Chen Guo together? ”

"Bring all the grain, grass and baggage to Chen Guo?" Huang Shao's face changed color, and he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and the yellow turban generals next to him also looked at each other, all of them had doubts about King Wu Tiande's intentions.

"King Huang, how is it?" Lu Su said again: "Wouldn't it be wonderful that your two armies concentrated grain and grass in Chen Guocheng, not only would Cao's army have no food to spare, but also that your and our armies would not have to worry about the lack of grain and grass. When Cao Bing retreats, the rest of the grain and grass are still yours of King Huang, all of them are Yellow Turban allies, and we don't have the habit of attacking friendly troops. ”

Huang Shao still didn't speak, Sun Guan was a little unhappy again, and said unhappily: "King Huang, what's the matter?" Reluctant to share a little food and grass for us? If King Huang is really reluctant, forget it, let's just go, anyway, we don't lack food. ”

Saying that, Sun Guan really turned around and yelled: "Rabbit cubs, pack up the guys and prepare to withdraw the army." The core Taishan thief soldiers brought by Sun Guan from Langya agreed one after another, got up one after another, packed their luggage and weapons, and put on a posture of preparing to withdraw the army - just waiting for Sun Guan to shout the withdrawal order, they immediately rushed up and slaughtered Huang Shao and his team.

"Marshal Sun, wait." Huang Shao was anxious again, hurriedly stopped it, and said with a sad face: "Marshal Sun, Lu Junshi, it's not that I'm stingy, it's that I have too much grain, grass and baggage, I'm afraid that I won't be able to transfer it for a while and a half." ”

"If you can't transfer, you have to transfer." Lu Su pointed to the dilapidated Dingling City and said to Huang Shao: "King Huang, I'm not talking about you, how good are you to repair the city wall?" Just this city wall, can block a few rounds of attacks by the Cao army? Having said that, I'm not afraid of the king, you are too careful, just this city wall, even if it is our team, there is no need to crash the car with a ladder, just by using a flying ladder ant, you can also attach the city with a round of charge! ”

Huang Shao looked back at his dilapidated lair, and then at the moat that had been filled by corpses, and hesitated even more in his heart. Lu Su frowned again and said: "King Huang, if you think that we are greedy for your grain and grass, then you are too careful, and you will not hide it, we are afraid that your grain and grass will fall into the hands of Cao Ying, then we will have to fight." If King Huang is really worried that we will covet your things, then you can keep them for Cao Ying to rob. ”

The Yellow Turban generals were all scared of being killed by Cao Jun, and they heard Lu Su make sense, so they persuaded Huang Shao in his ear one after another, persuading Huang Shao to accept Lu Su's suggestion, and it was better to wait for Cao Bing to return to Wu Tiande with some money and food, which was better than being robbed by Cao Jun. Under the words of everyone, Huang Shao finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Marshal Sun, Lu Junshi, I will take the team to transfer the grain, grass and baggage to Chen Guocheng, and join forces with you to fight the enemy, but along the way, I have to ask you to protect our army's grain transportation team." ”

"Please rest assured that King Huang will do our best." Lu Su smiled and said with a smile: "If your army's grain and grass fall into the hands of Cao Thief, it is not your army that is unlucky, and we will also be unlucky." ”

Although he was a little worried about whether King Wu Tiande could keep his word, Huang Shao had no choice but to agree to Lu Su's request, and decided to take the remnants of the defeated army to transfer the grain and grass to Chen Guocheng, because Huang Shao knew very well that even if he didn't agree, King Wu Tiande did not attack himself in anger, and his remnants of the defeated army could not stop the siege of the Cao army, and the grain, grass and gold silk that he had finally snatched would still be robbed by the Cao army. It's great that in the future, a little more blood will be given, and it will be better to repay King Wu Tiande with more grain, grass and gold silk, than to be swallowed by Cao Jun even with a belt and bones.

After holding this idea and returning to Dingling City, Huang Shao immediately ordered the food and gold silk hoarded in the city to be loaded into trucks and transported to Chen Guo for hoarding, and the insightful Yellow Turban General was also silent after learning of Huang Shao's decision, because this Yellow Turban General also understood that even if Huang Shao did not make this risky decision, he could not stop Cao Jun from going and returning, that is, the infantry team of King Wu Tiande outside the city could also break through Dingling in a short period of time, kill people and seize food, instead of needless struggle, it is better to gamble, The gambling friendly army can be a little more merciful, and after eating meat and drinking soup, it can also leave a little scum for the Yellow Turban Army. Therefore, the yellow turban general no longer spoke against it, but honestly carried out the order and organized the soldiers and people to load the grain into the truck.

Fortunately, the team under the command of King Huang of Dingling did not fight much, and the manpower was very sufficient, especially the hungry people who helped the idle were thousands, as long as they gave a bite of food, they could do any work, so it was only one night, and the grain and gold silk in Dingling City had all been loaded, and began to march eastward under the protection of Sun Guan's team, and the mighty transfer to Chen State, those hungry people who helped idle people also followed all the way, scrambling to help transport, shoulder-to-shoulder resistance as cattle and horses, just to exchange for a bite to eat.

Tens of thousands of Dingling soldiers and civilians transported grain and grass to transfer baggage, such a big movement, of course, it is impossible to hide the eyes of Cao Jun's scouts, after the news flew to Cao Ying, Cao Boss was of course furious, immediately led the army out of the camp, led the army south to rob the grain, but Cao Jun went south and did not go out of the five miles, and the gentleman army dressed as a yellow turban thief came out from behind a dirt mountain like a ghost, and blocked Cao Jun's way with a battle queue. When Cao's army hurriedly lined up to prepare for battle, Lu Bulu Fengxian, the commander of the gentleman's army who had just overshadowed Yu Ban's younger brother yesterday, shot out of the battle again and went to the front of the battle to fight.

"Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is here, who dares to fight me to the death? Cao Jun thief, who dares to come out and eat my halberd? ”

Wielding a wooden halberd that was obviously made temporarily, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, formerly known as Lu Cheng, were violent, shouting and scolding the general of the Cao army, but the Cao army team, which had already suffered two big losses, refused to be fooled this time, in addition to the tense formation, there was also the rapid push of the long shield to the front to prevent arrows, and the cavalry tactics of arranging a strong crossbow to suppress the gentleman's army. At the same time, there were also generals of the Cao Army who scolded behind the long shield, "Shameless thief!" Don't think we're going to be fooled! If you have the courage to go to a place where there are no hidden arrows to fight for 300 rounds, I won't be called Li Mancheng if I'm afraid of you! ”

Even the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was made of wood, of course, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian did not dare to fight a fair battle with Li Dian, but continued to scold, provoking the generals of the Cao army to fight, but the Cao army had already suffered enough losses, not only was he not fooled, but Lu Fengxian got a little closer, and immediately a strong crossbow shot out, which frightened Lu Fengxian to run back to the horse, and fled back to the main camp with a rolling face, crying and mourning in front of Tao Ying to give the order, "Childe, the last general is incompetent, Cao thief refuses to fight, please forgive Gongzi." ”

"It's okay, I don't blame you." Tao Ying smiled and said, "If the enemy will still be fooled, then he won't be called Cao Ying, you can return to the team." ”

Lu Fengxian returned to the team honestly, Tao Ying thought about it for a while, checked that there were no flaws in the fake beard on his face, and then personally patted the horse out of the battle, and shouted loudly in front of the formation: "Meng Degong, Meng Degong, please come out and answer!" ”

After a while, Boss Cao, who was dressed in a red robe, appeared under the flag gate, and said with a loud sneer: "Wu Tiande, King Wu, what advice do you have?" ”

"I don't dare to advise, I just want to make a deal with Meng Degong." Tao Ying smiled and said loudly: "Meng Degong, what are you going to do with the troops, I know very well, but I put my words here, the grain and grass and military supplies in Dingling are already mine, Meng Degong, you don't want to snatch a grain and a five-baht coin, so please Meng Degong, you'd better not make up your mind about the money and grain in Lingling, and collect the troops and return to the camp as soon as possible, so as not to hurt the harmony of the two families." ”

Boss Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at the gentleman's army behind Tao Ying with a horsewhip and said with a laugh: "Qianshou Dian Slave, just with your **100 cavalry, you want to stop me from seizing Dingling's money and grain?" Thou art not afraid to say big things and flash your tongue? ”

"Whether I'm talking big or not, Meng Degong, you know better than anyone else." Tao Ying also laughed and said: "Within two days, I will fight three battles with you, how dangerous my team is, Meng Degong, you are proficient in the art of war and familiar with Tao Strategy, you shouldn't know, right?" Yes, head-to-head duel, hand-to-hand combat, I'm not your opponent, but will I give you such a chance? If you can't catch up with me, if you can't beat me, what's the use? ”

Boss Cao was dumbfounded, and then laughed unconvinced and said: "Yes, I can't catch up with you, I can't beat you, but I can catch up with your food team and defeat your infantry, and that's enough." ”

"Meng Degong, don't be stubborn." Tao Ying said with a smile: "You chase my grain team, fight my infantry, I will copy your back road, attack your camp, even if you grab the grain in Dingling, I also have a chance to snatch it back, or simply burn it alive, and even before you can grab the grain, burn all the grain with one fire!" Anyway, Chen Guojun's grain has fallen into my hands, I am not short of food, I am not very urgent need for this Dingling food, Meng Degong, you are short of food, you can't rob grain and grass in a short time, your army can only eat bark, grass roots, and human flesh. ”

"Thief!" Boss Cao scolded, and for the first time, he found that there were people in this world who were more scoundrels than himself.

"Meng Degong, you are very unlucky." Tao Ying was not angry, but continued to laugh and said: "If it is a natural danger in Shu Dao, or in the Jiangnan Water Town with dense rivers and lakes, then my cavalry of less than a thousand is not your opponent at all, and you can easily defeat me or even annihilate it." But unfortunately, this is the Runan Plain, in this wasteland with open terrain and few mountains and few forests, my army is an insoluble existence, only I fight you, and you can fight like this, you can fight there if you want, drill if you have a hole, run away if you don't have a chance, no matter how strong your force is, it's useless if you can't catch up with me, so Meng Degong, you'd better calm down and make a happy deal with me. ”

"Thief, you are rampant, when I retrain a cavalry, your time of death will come!" Boss Cao scolded angrily.

"I believe this, with Meng Degong's talents, it is not difficult to imitate a cavalry like me." Tao Ying laughed calmly, "But it's still a pity, if you want to create such a cavalry, it is by no means an overnight thing, I have practiced this cavalry for a long time, and I have only learned the essence of my tactics. What's more, your war horses are basically dead or robbed by me, and you don't even have war horses, so how can you form a cavalry? ”

"Shameless thief, you still have the cheekiness to speak!" Boss Cao scolded angrily, and then Boss Cao waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Then you say, how do you plan to trade with me?" ”

"Meng Degong is really a hero in the world, and he can afford to put it down." Tao Ying applauded, and said with a smile: "Then I can just say, the deal I want to make with Meng Degong is, Meng Degong should not rob my Dingling grain team, and I will not make trouble for you, let you go to copy He Yi's lair, rob their money and grain, the money and grain of Dingling and Chen Guo belong to me, and the money and grain of Runan and other cities in Yingchuan belong to you, don't offend each other, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

"Huh." Boss Cao laughed out loud and said with a sneer: "Then aren't you too advantageous?" The main force of the Yellow Shao Demon Thief, but I defeated it. ”

"For this, I should thank Meng Degong." Tao Ying also sneered, "But Meng Degong also don't forget, if I go to Runan to make trouble for you again, will you be able to successfully win the money and grain in the hands of Brother He Yi?" Or that sentence, I don't really need the food in Dingling and Runan, it's amazing that the fire is all burned, and I still have food to feed the army, but what about you, Meng Degong? What do you take to raise an army to make a living, and what do you take to fight against Lu Wenhou? ”

"Thou art a thief, brazen, and your heart is like a femme fatale!" Boss Cao raised the horsewhip again, pointed at Tao Ying and scolded again, and then Boss Cao waved the horsewhip and said loudly: "Okay, I can promise you, but I have one additional condition." ”

"Meng Degong, please speak." Tao Ying replied with a smile.

"Align with me." Boss Cao said lightly: "I return to Yanzhou, and after restarting the war with Lu Bu, you must also start a war with Lu Bu and help me recapture Yanzhou." In exchange, I will turn your enemies into friends, and I will no longer hold your father accountable for killing my father. ”

Finally, it was the turn of Deputy Director Tao, who was dumb, and after a long time, Tao Ying tore off the beard on his face, and said with admiration: "Ming Gong has good eyesight, and he can see through the makeup of his juniors after almost two hundred steps." ”

"It's not seen but heard." Boss Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "Although you have been using Yan Zhao's accent, I can hear that your accent is pretending to be - who needs to disguise the accent in front of me, of course it is someone I have seen and don't want me to recognize, and then recall your body shape, it is not difficult for me to guess that you are the second son of Tao Yingtao who once jumped over the oil pot in front of me." ”

"Ming Gong is talented, I admire it." Tao Ying complimented him convincingly, and then arched his hand and said: "Ming Gong, the conditions you put forward just now, I can't agree to it, Lu Wenhou is kind to Xuzhou, although he is not a sage, but he also knows that if he has kindness, he will repay it, and Ming Gong will join forces to attack Lu Wenhou, I can't do it in the next, please forgive Ming Gong." ”

Speaking of this, Tao Ying added, "But Ming Gong also rest assured, in order to repay Ming Gong's mercy, you can also promise Ming Gong that when Ming Gong and Lu Wenhou are at war, they will never send troops to help Wen Hou, fair and neutral." ”

"Good, then it's decided!" Boss Cao waved his hand in a dashing manner and shouted: "Master Tao, go and take your grain back to Chen State, I promise you to immediately collect the troops and return to the camp." But the grain and grass in the cities of Runan County and Yingchuan County, you can't touch a finger again, let alone make trouble again, and ruin my big things. ”

"Of course." Tao Ying said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, there is no shortage of food in Xia, it doesn't matter if there is more or less, and I don't want Ming Gong to be broken by Wenhou because of lack of food, then the five counties of Xuzhou may be even more dangerous." ”

"Boy, to tell you the truth, I really regret it more and more now, why didn't I cut you down with a knife in the first place?" Boss Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, "I just borrowed your hand to contain Liu Bei, I never thought that Liu Bei, a tiger, was restrained, but he raised a dragon." ”

"Good people are rewarded." Tao Ying replied with a smile: "Maybe one day, the Ming Guild will be glad that it was left behind in the first place. ”

"I hope there will be a day." Boss Cao laughed again, Tao Ying also laughed, after laughing, Tao Ying immediately ordered the troops to retreat, and Boss Cao ordered to collect the troops and return to the camp, no longer go south to rob grain.

As soon as he walked away, Xun You, a staff officer of the army, immediately came to Boss Cao's side and asked in a low voice, "Lord, have you really decided not to rob grain anymore?" Although Tao Ying's cavalry is difficult, his infantry is far from being the opponent of our army, is it too much of a pity to give up? ”

"Tao Ying has been prepared, it is difficult to rob grain, and Tao Ying is not short of food, if it really ignites the grain, then our army will go to the general trend." Boss Cao replied coldly: "I promised him to divide Ru Ying's money and food equally, but I just slowed down his heart, and when he was unprepared, I immediately sent troops to raid, take his money and food, and behead him!" ”

"Tao should be deceitful, far beyond imagination, if you are prepared, what can you do?" Xun You asked again.

"If he is prepared, then I will go south to rob the money and grain of Runan." Boss Cao laughed even colder, "When the money and grain in Runan are in hand and the urgent need is alleviated, I will return to Chen Guo to attack the county town of Chen Guo and take away his Chen State grain!" ”

……

At the same time, in the ranks of the gentlemen's army, Tao Ji also came to Tao Ying's side and asked, "Second brother, is it really just that?" Cao Ying'er and I don't share the sky in Xuzhou, how can I share Ru Ying's money and food with him? ”

"He must be stabilized for the time being." Tao Ying replied in a low voice: "Although our gentleman's army is not afraid of Cao thief, but the infantry is afraid of him, if he forcibly robs the grain at any cost, even if we burn all the grain with one fire, it will be a pity." Only under the pretense of dividing Ru Ying's money and grain equally, temporarily stabilizing Cao Thief, and when the grain and grass in Dingling are transported back to Chen State, our Junzi Army will immediately go south to Runan to find a way to burn all He Yi's grain, and not a single grain will be left to Cao Thief! ”

Tao Ji suddenly realized, and hurriedly flattered and patted himself with great joy, Tao Ying shouted again: "Don't be too happy too early, we want to stabilize Cao Thief for the time being, why don't Cao Thief want to stabilize us?" This thief is cunning and abnormal, someone once asked him to surrender, he pretended to agree, and then attacked the enemy unprepared and robbed the camp overnight! Therefore, before transporting the grain from Dingling back to Chen, we must not be the slightest bit lax! ”

Tao Ji hurriedly agreed, and Tao Ying shouted again: "Besides, immediately send someone to contact the military advisor, ask him to release the carrier pigeon, and inform Xuzhou that the Cao thief is in Runan, and let Chen Yuanlong find a way to reveal the news to Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu go to find trouble in the rear of the Cao thief!" ”

(To be continued)
