However, at this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry was still in the initial stage, although it participated in the campaign to conquer Xuzhou, but Cao Cao was not used as the main force, purely to pull out the training troops, not to mention the attack on Xuzhou, most of the battles were siege battles, and there was not much place for the tiger and leopard cavalry. When Liu Ze's cavalry attacked, the tiger and leopard cavalry were also arranged in the western camp, and there was no chance to meet at all.

"Since the beginning of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, how can it be able to defeat Liu Ze's habitual combat division." Cao Cao shook his head and said, he saw Guo Jia holding a letter in his hand, "What is this?" ”

"Oh, this is sent from Xuzhou-"

Cao Cao's face suddenly turned cold, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, haven't I already ordered that anyone who comes to Xuzhou to deliver the book will destroy the book and kill him?" Cao Cao's voice was extremely harsh, that is, Guo Fengxiao, if he had changed others, Cao Cao would have been furious.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Lord, you can't destroy this letter, which makes you even more unsuccessful." ”

"Why?" Cao Cao wondered.

"This book was written by Liu Ze, this person was sent by Liu Ze, lord, do you say that you should be beheaded?" It is estimated that Guo Jia is the only one in Cao Ying's camp who dares to speak to Cao Cao in this tone.

Cao Cao said silently: "Bring the book." Guo Jia handed over Liu Ze's letter, and Cao Cao opened it and looked at it, but saw that the letter read:

Brother Meng Dewu Taijian: Luoyang is goodbye, the sky is on one side, several years have passed in a hurry, and I have not been able to worship my brother's face, and I have not been able to serve. Recently, when he heard that his uncle Cao Houxu had passed away, Ze deeply regretted it, and knew that his brother was filial. Raising troops for the father's revenge is the filial piety of the son of man, but the father was killed, it is Zhang Min's unkindness, not Tao Gongzu's crime, the brother does not want to take revenge on the real murderer, and he is angry with the people of Xuzhou, slaughtering the five counties, and he is also the end of the book. Today, it is in trouble, and the chaos is in the hands of Dong Zhuoyu's party, and the remnants of the yellow turban are raging all over the world. The Han dynasty is in danger. The society collapsed, and I hope that my brother will first be in the urgency of the court and then have personal enmity, and withdraw the troops of Xuzhou to save the country. Xuzhou is very lucky! The world is very lucky! Brother Liu Ze nodded his head.

Cao Cao read the letter. He slapped the letter heavily on the desk. He snorted angrily and said, "Okay, he is Liu Ze, and he still has the face to call me a brother and a brother!" Since they are brothers, how do they know that this hatred of killing their father is not shared! Far from helping me get revenge. On the contrary, he helped Tao Lao Thief, and he was angry with me, and from then on, I broke off with Liu Zeen and didn't ask each other! Someone will behead him in the future, send the head to Xuzhou, and fight to the death with the old thief Tao tomorrow! ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "The lord is angry, the envoy sent by Liu Ze is an old friend of his subordinates, and he is willing to ask the lord to see the situation of his subordinates and forgive him for his capital crimes." ”

Cao Cao sighed slightly and said: "There are many scholars in Yingchuan, this person can have a relationship with Fengxiao, there must be something extraordinary, what is the name?" ”

"This person's surname is Xu Mingshu character Yuanzhi, young and good to learn fencing, and Jia studied in Yingchuan Academy, his real name is Xu Fu, in the last years of Zhongping, he tried to avenge and kill people, and walked away with his hair and face, which was obtained by the officials. When asked his name, he did not answer, but the officials were tied to the car and beat the drum in the city, so that the people of the city could know him, although those who knew did not dare to speak. And the companion stole and rescued him, but changed his name and fled, turned his knot to learn, visited famous teachers, and tried to talk with Sima Hui. ”

"Xu Shu's talent, how does it compare with Feng Xiao?"

"Only above Jia, not below Jia."

Cao Cao sighed: "However, all the wise men belong to Liu Ze, and they can't ask for it." Since Xu Shu has a friendship with Fengxiao, can you try to persuade me to return to me? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Yuan Zhi is straight and resolute, has strange festivals, has been chivalrous and righteous since childhood, and is jealous and hateful. Yuan Zhi is known for his talent, and I persuaded the lord not to kill him, but I was also afraid of ruining the road of loyalty. ”

Cao Cao groaned and said: "And pass on Xu Shu to come up, I will take care of it!" ”

Not long after, Xu Shu was summoned over, and Xu Shu calmly said: "In Xia Xu Shu, I have seen Cao Yuanjun." ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "Your Excellency came, have you ever heard that this duke has beheaded many heads, aren't you afraid of this duke's ghost head knife?" ”

Xu Shu smiled and said: "The two countries have exchanged troops, and they have not yet beheaded the envoys, Ming Gong is a town prince, and he should be famous for his faith, destroying books and beheading envoys, but it is just the act of a villain, and he foolishly thinks that Ming Gong will not do the things of a villain." ”

"Sharp teeth, do you want to follow Su Qin Zhangyi? This father is here to ask you, your lord Liu Ze is out of the same door with a certain department, and his friendship is irreversible, and he has always been called a brother and a brother, why did he not help a certain Xing Bing Xue revenge this time but helped the pottery thief, what is the reason? Cao Cao asked.

Xu Shu stood tall and calm. "Meng Degong's words, my lord came with troops this time, not to rescue Tao Qian, but to save Ming Gongye!"

Cao Cao laughed angrily: "Kill my sergeant and help the thief defend the city, is this what Your Excellency said to save Cao?" ”

"Ming Gong is not in a hurry, let me speak slowly. Cao Taigong's death was not at the behest of Tao Gongzu, but Zhang Min was greedy for money and unkind, killing people and overselling goods, which had nothing to do with Tao Gongzu. Ming Gong didn't want to arrest the real murderer, but he was angry with the people of Xuzhou, burned and plundered, and slaughtered the five counties, and the gods and men were angry. When my lord heard of Ming Gong's violent deeds, he was deeply worried, and traveled thousands of miles south to Xuzhou, just to advise Ming Gong not to kill. The world is valued by the people, if the Ming Gong repeatedly perverse, will be desperate for the people's hope, lose the hearts of the people, lose the hearts of the people, how to talk about governing the world. If you can't kill the enemy, even if Ming Gong kills all the people of Xuzhou, you can't sue Taigong for the spirit of the sky. Xu Shu said leisurely.

"I also know that Zhang Min is the main culprit, but this thief has escaped without a trace, the world is so big, how can I find it? Although Tao Qian is not the mastermind, he indulges his subordinates and mutilates my father, which is also a crime that cannot be punished! Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said.

Xu Shu smiled and said: "If Ming Gong gets Zhang Min, can he withdraw the troops of Xuzhou?" ”

"This ...... Could it be that you can find the thief? Cao Cao will be skeptical.

Xu Shu lightly slapped three palms, and the entourage who followed him dragged a sack in, untied the mouth of the bag, and a person was revealed inside, tied tightly like a zongzi, and the mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, not only could not move, but even shouted could not shout.

"He's Zhang Min?" Cao Cao looked at it carefully and said suspiciously.

"It's like a fake!"

"How do you testify?" Although Xu Shu swore that Cao Cao didn't know Zhang Min, and there were too many things to do, it was hard to guarantee that Liu Ze would not find someone to impostor casually.

Xu Shu said: "This is very simple, in the Ming Gong camp, when there are soldiers who escorted Cao Taigong in Fei County that day, call one person to come over and identify it, and you can know the authenticity." ”

Cao Cao suddenly realized that it was his personal guard entourage who escorted Cao Song that day, and he was around the camp at this time, so he ordered someone to call someone over. The guard soon came, Cao Cao pointed at Zhang Min, and said, "Go up and see, who is this?" ”

The guard stepped forward to take a closer look, and suddenly cried: "Lord, this is the thief Zhang Min who killed the prince." ”

"You're really not mistaken?"

"Lord Qiqi, even if this dog thief turns into ashes, I can recognize him, it is he who killed the whole family of the Taigong in the Feixian Mountain Temple, robbed the property, please ask the Lord to cut this dog thief with a thousand knives for the Taigong to take revenge!"

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the guard to step back, staring at Zhang Min deadly, his eyes could breathe fire, Zhang Min was bound and couldn't move, but it was obvious that his body was trembling.

"Come on, prepare the mourning hall, my father wants to cut out the liver and heart of this dog thief to sacrifice the spirit of the prince in the sky!" Cao Cao gave an order, and immediately a personal soldier lifted Zhang Min out, Cao Cao turned back to Xu Shu and said: "Please Mr. Yuanzhi go back to pass on Runde, just say that Cao was able to kill the culprit today, thanks to Runde's merits, and express my gratitude to Runde on my behalf." ”

Xu Shu responded with a smile and said: "Since the Ming Lord was able to slash the real murderer and comfort the Taigong's spirit in the sky, this old feud has also been resolved, I wonder if the Ming Duke can consider withdrawing his troops?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows furrowed, and he muttered undecided.

Guo Jia laughed and said: "Yuan Zhi's words are wrong, for several years Tao Qian and Huainan Yuan Shu have formed an alliance, intending to invade Yanzhou, although we have not met each other, but it is also hostile and hostile. ”

Xu Shu smiled slightly, Cao Cao Xingbing Xuzhou, obviously hated, but in fact, he had the heart of annexation, they had this idea, Xu Shu naturally knew it, even if Tao Qian was not at fault, Cao Bing was so prosperous, how could he stop without a little gain, Guo Jia's meaning was very clear, Tao Qian at least had to cut the land and pay compensation.

"Tao Gongzu is gentle and pure, shepherded Xuzhou by holy orders, fulfilled his duties, did not dare to slack off, and governed Xuzhou still feels powerless, how to covet other people's states and counties. The alliance with Yuan Shu is just a false meeting with a snake and a twisted intention, aiming to protect the territory and the people, but there is no intention of annexing Yanzhou. Where is Langya? One of the counties of Xuzhou, under Tao Gongye, Cao Taigong has been in Langya for many years, Tao Gongyan can not know, if he has an enemy, he will kill his life early, why wait until today. The former Taigong left Xu to go to Yan, and Tao Gongzu set up a banquet to accompany him with hospitality, but it was only the use of non-human beings that caused a tragedy. ”

Guo Jia was also smiling and was about to speak, when the Chinese officer hurried in, looking panicked, but he saw that outsiders were present and did not speak. Guo Jia took the report from his hand, only glanced at it, his expression changed suddenly, and then, he forced a calm smile at Xu Shu and said: "Yuan Zhishao sit down for a while, I have something to discuss with Gong Cao." ”

Xu Shu has known Guo Jia since he was a child, and knows that this person's courage and intelligence are extraordinary, and what can make Guo Jia shrug off must be an extremely heavy military situation, so he bowed his head slightly at the moment and said: "Brother Fengxiao, please." ”

Guo Jia pulled Cao Cao to the back account, Cao Cao also felt Guo Jia's unusual expression, it must be related to this military intelligence report, faintly he also felt that something big had happened, and said in a deep voice: "What is the report?" ”

Guo Jia said with a solemn face: "Yanzhou 800 miles expedited flight report: Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou and entered Puyang!" (To be continued......)
