Chapter 294: Cao Yuan (1)
It stands to reason that Sun Gan kept Liu Bei's two wives and should not be able to run far, and it was based on this concept that Cao Jun investigated this place, but it was disappointing that Cao Jun did not find any useful clues, and did not find any Liu Jun's actions.
This made Cao Ang and Cao Chun puzzled, they didn't know where Sun Qian had gone, this place was almost turned upside down by Cao Jun, but there was no trace of the enemy's whereabouts, could it be that the enemy army really flew away with wings, this ridiculous news, no one could believe it.
In fact, when the Cao army was closely investigating the Liu army, Sun Qian had already led the soldiers of the Bai'er elite soldiers to escape from the encirclement of the Cao army through the secret passage.
Although he escaped from the encirclement of Cao's army, Sun Gan's mood was not happy at all, because this battle was quite a loss of troops for himself, and it could be described as a loss of troops.
Not to mention the more than 1,000 people who stayed to contain the enemy, the 1,000 people led by Chai Rong alone were also wiped out by the Cao army, otherwise, how could the Cao army find their hiding place.
Now, Sun Qian has become innocent again, and he is even more miserable than when he first came to Huainan.
At that time, he at least had Chai Rong to advise him, and Ma Jun to share the pressure for himself, and now, the pressure of Yiqiē was on him, and he also needed to protect the two wives of the lord.
As soon as he thought that he had run out of food and grass, Sun Qian felt that he had a very headache, and there was no problem that he and the soldiers were hungry for a meal or two, but the wives of the lords were all daughters, how could they bear the pain of hunger.
However, now Huainan has no way to live, because Cao Jun has investigated himself so strictly, even if Sun Qian has the ability, he does not dare to act rashly. is still the same sentence, if you have something to do, it is a trivial matter, if you implicate the two ladies, even if you want your own life, I am afraid it will be difficult to repay.
Madame's life is heavier than Tarzan, and in comparison. The lives of himself and his soldiers were much lighter.
Sun Qian didn't know where his path was, and Cao Ang didn't know where Sun Gan was, and he searched for Huainan for several months, but the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion didn't find any news about Sun Gan.
In this regard, Cao Chun felt quite annoyed, he came to Huainan to suppress the bandits, but the bandits were indeed suppressed, but what they did was a tiger's head. He wiped out most of the enemy army, but the main character disappeared.
Sun Qian is the core figure in the banditry, if Sun Gan can't be eliminated, I'm afraid that the bandits will continue to prevail after he leaves, it is for this reason that Cao Chuncai has been stationed in Huainan for a long time, the purpose is to find the bandit leader Sun Gan and Liu Bei's wife.
However, it backfired, although the White Tiger Battalion searched for it with all its might. But it was of no use, and Huainan had been turned upside down by Cao Jun. But there was still no Sun Gan, and in the end, Cao Pi could only lead the team back to Xuchang City.
Du Chen didn't want to let the soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion come back so early, but if he didn't come back, he couldn't do it, Xi Zhicai had already sent the news, he said that Yuan Shao in Jizhou had begun to move. Although there was no drastic move, it was a warning sign.
Yuan Shao had already cleared the remnants of Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and he began to accumulate his strength after incorporating the entire Hebei into his territory, and in just one or two years, Yuan Shao's strength increased geometrically.
Hebei is a vast land. Kyushu in the world, it monopolized the fourth, took Hebei, Yuan Shao's strength is naturally growing very rapidly, which makes Cao Jun feel unprepared, although most of Yuan Shao's troops are recruits, but not all of them are new feet without combat effectiveness.
What's more, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, Hebei is so big, and there are a lot of human resources, how can Yuan Shao not have a family background, so even Du Chen doesn't dare to say that he can win against Yuan Shao,
In history, Cao Cao almost lost to Yuan Shao, although Cao Cao was indeed high-spirited when he sent his troops, but it cannot be denied that although he and Yuan Shao were inseparable, but in the overall situation, Yuan Jun has always been in the lead.
At the end of the war, Cao's army had run out of ammunition and food, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and they were unable to fight a decisive battle.
At this time, Du Chen was reading the official document in the Taiwei Mansion, and suddenly, a personal soldier walked in, and then handed Du Chen a secret letter.
Opening the secret letter, Du Chen read it carefully, and then, he put the secret letter on the table, showed a slight smile, and after laughing, Du Chen stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Cao Cao's messenger appeared in front of Du Chen, he saw Du Chen, hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and then explained his intention.
Du Chen came out to greet him, and after reading the secret letter, Du Chen knew that Cao Cao would definitely ask him to go to the meeting, so he didn't wait for the envoy to enter the house, he walked out first, he shook his hand at the envoy, and then walked out of the Taiwei Mansion.
In the conference hall, Cao Cao was sitting on the main seat, Du Chen looked around, and then smiled slightly, it seems that he is finally not the last person to come, and today he is much earlier than anyone else.
Seeing Du Chen, Cao Cao naturally laughed, he pointed at Du Chen and then said: "Could it be that the sun rises from the west today, Silang came the slowest in the past, why did you come earlier than everyone else in Silang today." ”
Du Chen smiled when he heard this, he looked up at the sky, and then said casually: "It's cloudy today, I can't see the sun, if I can see it, it may really rise from the west." ”
Cao Cao pursed his lips, he wanted to tease Du Chen, but he didn't expect to suffer in the end, he shook his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you doing standing outside, you haven't entered the house yet, how do you have to figure out where the sun rises today." ”
Du Chen walked into the conference hall, Cao Cao glanced at Du Chen, and then asked, "Presumably you also got the news, otherwise how could you come so quickly today." ”
"I can't hide anything from you." Du Chen shook his head, "Zhicai has already sent news that White Horse City has been completed, presumably Meng De just asked me to discuss this matter." ”
This time, Cao Cao smiled weirdly, he shook his head and shook his hands, "Haha, you guessed wrong this time." ”
Du Chen glanced at Cao Cao, and then said: "Yuan Shao's troops north of the Yellow River are about to move, presumably it will give you a headache now, except Yuan Shao, I'm afraid there will be no one else." ”
Not enough This time it was indeed a surprise to Du Chen, because Cao Cao shook his head again, at this time Du Chen was really puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine Cao Cao was selling in the gourd, it was not a matter of White Horse City, it had nothing to do with Yuan Shao, so who could make Cao Cao alarm everyone,
"You're talking about two out of three, and there's one more thing, see if you can guess this last thing." Cao Cao's expression was very weird, and he had always seemed happy to be able to make Du Chen deflated.
Du Chen frowned and pondered, but in the end he shook his head, he did have some eyeliner, but how could he compare with Cao Cao, he looked at Cao Cao, and then shook his head, "I still hope that Meng De will tell me, Chen really can't guess." ”
"Hahaha." Cao Cao laughed loudly, he laughed quite proudly, Du Chen rarely ate like this, Cao Cao was naturally quite proud,
Du Chen shook his head helplessly, he was very depressed, I don't know why Cao Cao had to look at his deflated appearance, but since Cao Cao wants to laugh, then let him laugh enough, after all, Du Chen rarely sees Cao Cao laughing so heartily,
After laughing, Cao Cao turned his head towards Du Chen and said, "Liu Bei has a whereabouts, he is a Taishou in Xinye." ”
Du Chen was slightly stunned, but then he was relieved, Liu Bei is a small strong man who can't be killed, in the past, Xuzhou was defeated, Liu Bei fled to Yuan Shao's command, coinciding with the Cao Yuan War, Liu Bei knew that he couldn't resist, so he ran to Liu Biao's command.
And because of his own savings, Liu Bei actually ran to Liu Biao's command so early, however, today's Liu Bei is not worth mentioning, there is no fierce general like Guan Yu Zhang Fei around him, who can assist him. (To be continued......)
