"Bang" loud sound, the poor case table in front of Boss Cao flew into the sky, and the pen and ink, bamboo slips and silk and other things on the case table also fell everywhere, so frightened that a Cao boss outside the door who was about to come in to do something fell on the steps, and quickly knelt on his knees outside the door and lowered his head, for fear that Boss Cao, who had killed Zhao Yan the day before, would not be able to vent his anger and catch himself as a punching bag.

Fortunately, Boss Cao can still know how to restrain his emotions, and he killed Zhao Yan on the first day just because Zhao Yan impeached Boss Cao for being arbitrary and disobeying the emperor's will, and Boss Cao had no choice but to kill him, so Boss Cao didn't jump up and yell, nor did he grab a punching bag and spread fire, but just sulked with a black face and gritted his teeth. The full pet who just came back from Jizhou, as well as Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu who were present, all knew Boss Cao's bear temper, and they didn't open their mouths to persuade them, just wait for Boss Cao to sulk enough before talking.

Sure enough, after sulking for a while with a straight face, Boss Cao really adjusted his emotions, and hummed and said, "Tao Ying thief, I really underestimated him again!" But it's nothing.,The letter hides such a chicken and a dog thief and other carving insect tricks.,It's not a big deal.,Just be careful in the future.。 ”

After humming insincerely, Boss Cao shouted again: "But this method is also worth learning, our army's military intelligence documents and confidential letters must also find ways to strengthen secrecy, don't give any enemy a chance to take advantage of!" ”

"No." Everyone agreed together, and then Cheng Yu cautiously asked: "Lord, about the matter of sending troops to Qingzhou, I don't know how the lord decides?" Yuan Shao asked our army to send more than 30,000 troops in the honor of the alliance leader to assist him in attacking Qingzhou, and if the lord flatly refused, he was afraid of ....... ”

Boss Cao's face was a little gloomy again, and after a little calculation, Boss Cao suddenly asked Man Chong: "Mr. Boning, when you left Jizhou, how did Yuan Shao handle Yuan Tan's affairs?" Yuan Tan secretly said that the matter of our army is not big, but it is not small, what kind of punishment did Yuan Shao give him? ”

"I was scolded by Yuan Shao, and then I was driven back to the plains that night." Full of dejected reply: "Yuan Tan's eldest son is also unlucky, that afternoon on the front line of the plain happened to come to the urgent report, saying that Tian Kai and Kong Rong formed a mutual insurance alliance, Tian Kai suddenly personally led the main force of Qingzhou to reinforce the county, Kong Rong's reinforcements are also on the way to the county, it seems that there is a first strike to attack the plain first, Yuan Shao is worried about the safety of the plain garrison and annoyed that Yuan Tan left the station without permission, scolded Yuan Tan a bloody dog, rushed back to the plain overnight to lead the army to meet the battle. It was already late when the pet received the news and rushed to see him off, Yuan Tan had already left Yecheng overnight, failed to meet with the pet, and did not leave letters or messages to me, and it seemed that he was already dissatisfied with our army. ”

"Tian Kai personally led the main force to rush to the county for reinforcements? Tian Kai was defeated in Linxi and the plains before, how many soldiers and horses are there? He personally led the main force to reinforce the county, and he didn't want the rear? Boss Cao was a little puzzled at first, and then immediately came to his senses and scolded: "Pottery thief! It must be the ghost of the pottery thief, so that Tian Kai doesn't have to worry about the pottery thief stabbing him from behind, so Tian Kai dares to find Yuan Tan Xiao'er first! This thief is simply shameless and scoundrel to the extreme! ”

"My lord, why don't you send someone to investigate it?" Cheng Yu suggested: "If we can find out the true evidence that the pottery thief secretly colluded with Tao Ji and even secretly supported Tian Kai, then wouldn't it be easy for our army to get away from the pottery thief Yuan Shao?" ”

Boss Cao was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, the first is not so easy to detect, and the second is that Tao Ying's thief has deceived people, and doing such a thing behind Yuan Shao's back must be careful and abnormal, and will not leave any real evidence for our army to investigate." ”

After vetoing Cheng Yu's proposal, Boss Cao turned his attention back to Yuan Tan's side and asked Man Chong: "Mr. Boning, let's confirm again, as far as you observe, does Yuan Shao have any plans to remove Yuan Tan?" Also, did Yuan Shangxiaoer ask Yuan Shao to replace Yuan Tan in command of the Qingzhou soldiers and horses? Did he replace Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou? ”

"Nope." Man Zhong replied in the affirmative, "Yuan Shangxiao'er did not make a similar request except for instigating Yuan Shao to order our army to send troops to Qingzhou. As for Yuan Shao, as far as an observation is concerned, although Yuan Shao does not like Yuan Tan, the eldest son, he still has a lot of trust in Yuan Tan's ability to command troops, so no matter how dissatisfied Yuan Tan is with our army's secret contact, he has not said anything like depriving Yuan Tan of military power. ”

"It's good if you don't have it." Cao Lao was overjoyed, and said with a cruel smile: "Tao Ying thief, you are indeed cunning and vicious enough, and you are unwilling to send troops to Qingzhou alone to be a coolie for Yuan Shao, so let Yuan Shang come forward to drag our army into the water, and let our army also go to Yuan Shao to die for nothing!" It's a pity that you forgot to instigate Yuan Shang's straw bag to snatch Yuan Tan's military power, and when you send troops to Qingzhou, Yuan Tan, who commanded the three-way alliance for Yuan Shao, can still make your team comfortable? ”

After laughing evilly, Boss Cao made up his mind on the spot, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Yuan Shao actually asked me to send 30,000 troops to help him attack Qingzhou, for the sake of Lu Bu before, I will repay him once, let Cao Ren send 30,000 troops to Qingzhou to help Yuan Tan, as long as I have a good relationship with Yuan Tan, I don't have to worry about losing too much money and food for soldiers and horses." ”

"Lord, wait." Guo Jia finally spoke, and reminded in time: "I don't know if the lord can find something very strange?" With Tao Ying's thief's deceit, how can he not understand that handing over his army to Yuan Tan's command is equivalent to sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth? How could he not understand what Cao Yuan Tao's three-way soldiers and horses would mean to him to fight against Qingzhou and instigate Yuan Shang to seize Yuan Tan's right to command the army? That being the case, why did Tao Ying make such a big mistake? ”

"Why?" Boss Cao's head was a little unbent for a while.

"It may be that you want to get away with it!" Xun Yu interjected and said in a deep voice: "Maybe the pottery thief is worried that Yuan Shang will do it too early, and our army is afraid of being harmed by Yuan Shang and dare not send troops, so only one of his teams will act as a coolie for Yuan Shao in the Qingzhou war, so he deliberately did not persuade Yuan Shang to snatch the military power, and even persuaded Yuan Shang not to rush to snatch the military power, and wait until our army enters the army, and then try to take away Yuan Tan's military power for Yuan Shang." ”

"Don't think of Yuan Shao as too stupid, changing the commander in battle is a taboo for soldiers, Yuan Shang has to be favored again, and it is not so easy to temporarily take away Yuan Tan's military power." Boss Cao shook his head, but after careful consideration, Boss Cao still made adjustments and said, "But it's better to be careful, in this way, didn't the pottery thief send troops after the wheat ripened at the end of April and the beginning of May?" It's mid-February, let Cao Ren prepare, send troops to Qingzhou in mid-March, first help Yuan Tan win a few battles, consolidate Yuan Tan's position as the commander of Qingzhou, and also take the opportunity to close the relationship with Yuan Tan, and then wait for the pottery thief to send troops to Qingzhou, we will have a good show. ”

Everyone sang a promise, ending the discussion on the matter of sending troops to Qingzhou, and it was at this time that Boss Cao noticed that there was a close attendant of his own kneeling outside the door, as if he wanted to present something, and when he opened his mouth to ask, the close attendant reported that there was a meteor from Nanyang to ask for a meeting, saying that there were 100,000 urgent Nanyang military intelligence that must be reported. Boss Cao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent Ma into the mansion to knock on him, but after a careful understanding, he found that it was a great thing - at least it was a great thing for Boss Cao.

The news of Cao Jun's detailed investigation is as follows: Zhang Ji, the remnant of Dong Boss who was entrenched in Chang'an, was unable to obtain food supplies because of the shortage of food and the hunger situation on the territory under his control, so he was forced to lead his soldiers and horses all the way out of Tongguan, and did not dare to provoke Cao Boss to continue to come east to plunder Luoyang, so he asked for the surname to go south to plunder Nanyang, Liu Biao's team in Nanyang was unable to resist, and in front of the hungry and red-eyed Zhang Jijun's team was defeated and retreated, and lost Danshui, Xixian, Nanxiang and Liguo and other cities one after another. At present, Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses have arrived in Shunyang, and the soldiers are very sharp.

"Good!" Boss Cao was immediately happy when he heard this report, and gloated and applauded and smiled: "Liu Biaopifu has a heavy army and refuses to surrender to me, he deserves this retribution!" Okay, good, the sharper Zhang Ji's soldiers, the better, it's best to fight directly to Xiangyang City, so that he can suffer more, and I just happen to reap the benefits. ”

"Lord, Liu Biao is hateful, but it is impossible to expect Zhang Ji to hit Liu Biao hard." Xun You opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Ji's team is rootless, relying on looting and supply, it is difficult to last, even if it is prosperous for a while, it will be consumed by Liu Biao's abundant money and food. And even if the Xiliang soldiers of the Zhang Ji thief army are strong, the dense water network around Jingxiang is destined to become the burial place of the Zhang Ji thief army, so it is unlikely that the lord wants the Zhang Ji thief army to pose a mortal threat to Liu Biaopifu, and on the contrary, if the Zhang Ji thief army is lucky to gain a foothold in the north of Nanyang, our army's Xu Du Chongdi may be threatened by Zhang Ji. ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't even have to be afraid of Lu Bu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, and I'm still afraid of him Zhang Jipifu?" Boss Cao sneered, and said: "If Zhang Jipifu wants to pose a threat to me, unless he joins forces with Liu Biao'er, but is this possible?" ”

"It's unlikely." Xun You also agreed with this, and said: "But the lord, this is a great opportunity for our army to form an alliance with Liu Biao, I don't know if the lord is interested?" ”

"Is it good to form an alliance with Liu Biao?" Boss Cao reacted very quickly, and immediately came to his senses, and said, "Gongda, doesn't he want to teach me to send Liu Biao and form an alliance to fight against Zhang Ji?" ”

"Not bad." Xun You nodded and said: "There are three advantages to this matter, one is that our army can take the opportunity to set foot in Nanyang and control the northern part of Nanyang to look down on Jingxiang; the second is to eliminate Zhang Ji's troubles and prevent this thief from entrenching Nanyang and threatening the safety of Xu Du; The third is to get through Liu Biao and wait for the opportunity to send Liu Biao to attack Huainan with a superior naval army, and effectively contain our army's mortal enemy, Tao Ying, to annihilate the thieves! ”

"Mr. Gongda has a point." Boss Cao patted his thigh and said happily: "Since Liu Biao has these three benefits, I should do it, and immediately send Xiangyang to contact Liu Biao, persuade Liu Biao to form an alliance with our army to fight against the rebels in the world, and then tell Liu Biao that as long as he agrees to form an alliance with me, I should send troops to Nanyang to help him eradicate Zhang Ji's rebels!" ”

"My lord, I went to Jizhou before I got nothing, and I also caused Qingzhou to trouble my lord, and I deserve death." Poor Mr. Man Chong took the initiative to ask: "If the lord does not give up, I am willing to go to Xiangyang again for the lord, make meritorious atonements, and persuade Liu Biao to form an alliance with our army to join forces to fight against the traitors in the world." ”

"Mr. Berning has said, the matter of Jizhou is my mistake in the thief's plan, what does it have to do with Mr.?" Boss Cao has clear rewards and punishments in this regard, and he doesn't like to push his subordinates like Yuan Sangong. But Man Chong resolutely asked for an order, saying that he must go to Xiangyang to atone for Boss Cao's meritorious service, and Boss Cao saw that Man Chong was resolute, so he did not insist on refusing, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Berning is willing to work hard, then Mr. Lao will go to Xiangyang." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Mr. Manzhong, who was eager to save face, was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted and thanked Boss Cao. But of course, if poor Mr. Man Chong knew that there was such a gentleman who happened to be in Xiangyang, maybe Mr. Man Chong would not dare to volunteer for this courage and take the initiative to invite this Ying.................................... At the same time in Xiangyang City.

"Three generals, please drink this cup to the full! The three generals eliminated the annihilation of the country and the harm for the people, exposed Jing Xiang's rebellious collusion with Cao thief's bad intentions, and finally made the ugly face of the traitor revealed to the world, and his merits were towering, which is difficult to reach in the world! Under the admiration, there is no respect, just invite the three to drink this cup, talk about the table in the next three generals full of respect, in the next courage, just do it first! ”

In this era, the people who can say such beautiful things without blushing and heartbeat, except for Deputy Director Tao, who graduated from our public servant school, are probably only our Yang Hong Yang Changshi. And after saying this, our Yang Changshi drank a full cup of wine bought with the blood and sweat of the people of Xuzhou on the spot, and poured the wine glass and there was not a drop left, and the three brothers Cai Xun, Cai Zhong, Cai and the three brothers who were flattered by our Yang Changshi smiled reservedly and raised a glass to Yang Changshi to return the salute, and then drank all the wine in the cup, and there was no drop left in the poured wine glass, and the four of them looked at each other and laughed. And after laughing, our Yang Changshi shouted again, "Play music, dance, and cheer up the three generals." ”

Yang Changshi's personal soldier captain Li Lang issued an order, and the silk and bamboo immediately sounded, and the twelve girls in colorful clothes with outstanding posture also walked out of the back hall, first saluted the three brothers of the Cai family, and then danced in the sound of the sheng reed, the twelve girls are all dancing beautifully, and everyone is graceful, and they are constantly teasing the Cai brothers, so that the three brothers of the Cai family are salivating and full of praise. The youngest Cai He couldn't help but say to Yang Changshi with a fake smile: "Mr. Zhongming is so beautiful, there are so many moving beauties in the team, the six beauties that Mr. gave to my eldest brother last time are already rare and stunning, I never thought that this time I would call out so many beauties, and none of them were under the six beauties last time, it is really ......, it is really enviable." ”

"The four generals have won the award, what kind of rare beauty are they?" Yang Changshi said with a smile: "But the singing and dancing of these dancing girls have to be guided by masters, far better than the fun of the teaching workshop, if the three generals don't think they are ugly, they want to send these twelve dancing girls to the three generals, I don't know if the three generals are willing to accommodate them?" ”

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Cai Xun's three brothers were overjoyed, and Cai Xun also pretended to be modest and said: "After Mr. came to Xiangyang, Brother Cai has been blessed by Mr. Cai, how can he still receive the dancing girl given by Mr.?" ”

"The three generals don't have to be polite, these dancing girls can serve the three generals, which is also their blessing." Yang Changshi waved his hand generously, and said very modestly: "In fact, Hong is also generous to others, these dancing girls are actually Huainan Yuan Shu's house tricks, after the Shouchun City was broken, my lord Tao made Jun want to keep it, this time in the next envoy to Xiangyang, my lord has long admired the name of the three generals and General Cai Mao, and hated not to see each other, and there was no respect, and saw that the appearance of these family tricks singing and dancing were quite passable, so I let the next together to Xiangyang to send the three generals and General Cai Mao, to talk about the meaning of respect. ”

"It turned out to be a gift from Tao Envoy." The three brothers of Cai Xun suddenly realized, and then said pretendedly: "Since it is a gift from the envoy, if you refuse to be disrespectful to the Tao envoy, then we will not be polite, and I hope that when Mr. Zhongming returns to Xuzhou to meet the envoy, he must thank the envoy for us, and then ask Mr. Tao to make the envoy clear, but there will be a dispatch in the future, and a certain will serve the work of dogs and horses, in order to repay the envoy for his great kindness." ”

"The three generals are polite, just a few dancing girls, so dare the three generals thank you like this?" Yang Changshi was very polite, and Cai Xun, Cai Zhong, Cai and his brothers thanked him again and again, and they laughed together so that their faces were wrinkled.

After a moment of dancing, the twelve girls stepped forward to toast, and the Cai Xun brothers smiled and did it with Yang Changshi, and then the twelve girls sat and drank with Yang Changshi's order, and shared the table with the Cai Xun brothers, and fed the wine and beat the back and rubbed the legs, until the Cai Xun brothers were almost soft in their bones, our Yang Changshi turned the conversation to the topic again, and asked the Cai Xun brothers: "Hong dared to ask the three generals, since Huang Zu's anti-love has been revealed, I don't know when the three generals and General Cai Mao plan to tell Liu Fujun the truth, What can be done to prevent it from happening? ”

"Don't worry, sir, there will be news tomorrow." Cai Xun said with a smile: "Originally, my brother planned to play my sister-in-law immediately, but considering that Huang Zu Pifu is a heavy minister of Jingxiang and has won the trust of my sister-in-law, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my brother-in-law to adopt it, so my brother went to see my sister first, and asked my sister to blow the wind in front of my sister-in-law tonight, and then ...... tomorrow, hehe." ”

"General Dejun is a good plan!" Yang Changshi clapped his hands and laughed, and the Cai family brothers also laughed together, and after finally ending the wild laughter like a group of demons dancing, our Yang Changshi took the opportunity to say again: "Three generals, after overthrowing that Huang Zu Pifu, why don't the three generals try to seek the position of Jiangxia Taishou?" Jiangxia has abundant money and food, many soldiers and horses, and it is an important town in Jingxiang, so isn't it interesting for the three generals? ”

The Cai Xun brothers smiled very ambiguously and mysteriously, the reason why their brothers willingly helped Yang Changshi try to bring down Huang Zu was not only to covet Yang Changshi's money and beauties, but more importantly, to covet Jiangxia Taishou under Huang Zu's buttocks. And our Yang Changshi is best at observing words and emotions and figuring out his intentions, seeing that the Cai family brothers smiled so ambiguously, he suddenly understood and laughed ambiguously with the Cai family brothers.

Ordered to separate Liu Biao and Huang Zu as Deputy Director Tao to eradicate the danger and hidden dangers, and finally waited until it was only one foot away, our Yang Changshi did not dare to be too lazy in business, and got up early the next day, and came to the door of Jingzhou Assassin's Mansion early to spy on the news, but because our Yang Changshi is only a messenger of Xuzhou, he is not qualified to participate in the Jingzhou meeting, so he can only wait in the guest room. But fortunately, the former lieutenant of Jingzhou, who is responsible for the security of Jingzhou's Thorn Mansion, happens to be Cai Zhong, the third elder of the Cai family, so our Yang Changshi was also able to enter the VIP room, and waited with tea in the VIP room.

Our Yang Changshi's butt was not hot in the VIP room, and two men and one woman swaggered in outside the door, and three distinguished guests came in, seeing Yang Changshi sitting in the room, he didn't care, the two middle-aged men just nodded to Yang Changshi, and then led another girl to sit on the other side of the room, sat down and talked in a low voice. Yang Changshi was a little curious, and when he looked at the three of them carefully, he found that the two men were in their forties, and their clothes and appearances were nothing special, while the girl was petite, wearing a veil on her face and not being able to see her appearance and age, which looked very mysterious.

Bore, when Yang Changshi listened carefully to the conversation between the three of them, he found that the three of them were discussing the plague in Nanyang County in a low voice, and one of the younger middle-aged men kept saying some sentences related to medical skills, and seemed to be very proficient in medicine, and also concluded that the plague prevalent in Nanyang was a severe case of typhoid fever, and at the same time worried about the lack of medicine and the difficulty of prevention.

Our Yang Changshi doesn't know medical skills, but he has a little experience in preventing typhoid fever, and when he heard that the slightly younger middle-aged man was worried because there was no good way to prevent typhoid fever, he couldn't help but interject a sentence, "The simplest and most effective way to prevent typhoid fever is not to drink raw water, don't eat raw and cold food, drink boiled water, cook the food before eating, so that there will be no problem." ”

As soon as Yang Changshi said this, the two men and one woman naturally stopped talking, turned their surprised eyes to Yang Changshi, and the middle-aged man who was proficient in medical skills asked in surprise: "This gentleman, is this really effective?" ”

"Of course it works." Yang Changshi replied confidently: "My father-in-law once said that typhoid fever is caused by typhoid bacilli in the diet, but if the drinking water is boiled and the food is cooked, all the typhoid bacilli in the diet can be killed, and people can no longer be infected with typhoid fever." In addition, the reincarnation of the grains of typhoid patients should also be buried deep underground to avoid polluting drinking water, and the latrines should be regularly disinfected with quicklime, so as to eliminate the source of the spread of the plague. ”

"Typhoid bacillus? What's that? I hope that Mr. will give me advice. The middle-aged man who was proficient in medical skills was even more surprised.

"This ......." Yang Changshi was a little embarrassed, but the words had already been spoken, and Yang Changshi could only reply stubbornly: "I don't understand very much, it's my lord who taught me, my lord seems to say so, typhoid bacillus is a medical term in Daqin (Rome), and it is also a ...... that can make people sick, and the bacteria that get sick can't be seen with the eyes, so you must use ......, use a special tool ......, what tool?" Oh yes, I remember, a microscope, you have to use a microscope to see. ”

"Excuse me, sir, what is a microscope?" This time it was the veiled girl who asked, and her voice was both extremely curious and very crisp and beautiful.

"What is a microscope?" Yang Changshi was even more embarrassed, and recalled for a while before he said: "It seems that the lord said that it was something like a telescope, but it was much more difficult to build than a telescope. ”

"What is a telescope, sir?" The veiled girl asked more curiously.

"It's an amazing thing that allows you to see things from afar." Yang Changshi, who had played with a telescope before, answered quickly this time, and said very proudly: "In fact, there is also a telescope below, which was personally rewarded by my father-in-law, and there will never be more than ten people in the world who can have such rare treasures, including the following!" ”

Before Yang Changshi's words were finished, the girl had already rushed over with a gust of fragrant wind, and asked happily and nervously, "Sir, where is your telescope?" Can you let the little girl see it with her own eyes? ”

"Sorry, I didn't bring it." Yang Changshi stretched out his hands and replied: "The telescope is the top secret of my Xuzhou army, and even if you are the governor of Xuzhou, you can't take it out of the barracks at will." ”
