"Why is this black-faced general of grandma doing so much? Startled, "Dian Wei saw Cao Cao gone, sat on the ground and cursed.

Zhou Yu glanced at the crown prince Liu Xie, and let out a long breath in his heart. This group of officers and soldiers looked like they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, how could the leader be really difficult to deal with, and he didn't remember Xiahoudun's words much in his previous life, otherwise he would definitely be able to guess that it was Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, who were known for their suspicion in history, but now they have escaped a catastrophe, and it is better to hurry up and get on the road when it is still early!

After walking for about an hour, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhou Yu looked back and saw that it was the two generals just now who ran back, Zhou Yu chuckled in his heart, thinking that it wasn't they who annihilated the Yellow Turban wrestlers in the manor, and found something, right?

"The strong man in front, please stay!" Cao Cao hurriedly urged the horse to run in front of Zhou Yu and the three to block the way, then jumped off the horse and walked in front of Zhou Yu and Dian Wei to salute deeply, and then continued: "In the lower Cao Cao, the character Mengde, was once the governor of northern Luoyang, and today he was dispatched by the general He Jin to lead the troops to chase down the bandits. Seeing that the three strong men talked and behaved very well, I wanted to invite the three of them to conspire to get drunk, I don't know what I thought? ”

As soon as Cao Cao - the word Mengde" heard this name, Zhou Yu was scorched and entrenched, and the one in front of him was a god-level existence in the Three Kingdoms period, and the advisors around him were like clouds and military generals like rain, occupying half of the Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Cao Cao's character Mengde, nicknamed Apu, was a native of Peiguo County. He was an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer, and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao served as the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later became the king of Wei, laying the foundation for the establishment of Cao Wei. After his death, he was nicknamed King Wu. His son Cao Pi was called the emperor, and he was posthumously honored as Emperor Wu, and the temple name was Taizu. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Cao Cao conquered the Quartet in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, eliminated the separatist forces such as Eryuan, Lü Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao, and Han Sui internally, and subdued the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, etc., unified northern China, and implemented a series of policies to restore economic production and social order, expand tuntian, build water conservancy, reward agriculture, attach importance to handicrafts, resettle the exiled population, and implement "rent regulation", so that the Central Plains society gradually stabilized and the economy took a turn for the better. However, Cao Cao's actions have been controversial in later generations, some people say that he is a white-faced traitor who stole the power of the Han Dynasty, some people say that he is a heroic emperor who ruled the world and conquered the world, and some people say that he is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and he died for the Han Dynasty. Anyway, there are different opinions, Zhou Yu was a fan of the Three Kingdoms and an admirer of Cao Cao in his previous life, and his goal was also to conquer the world and make the four seas surrender, in this case, seeing Cao Cao did catch Zhou Yu a little off guard.

"Cao Cao Cao Mengde, dare to ask, but use that five-colored stick to kill the uncle of Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent servants, Jian Tu, so as to make a name for himself Cao Duwei in Luoyang City? Disrespectful, disrespectful! In the next Zhou Yu, the word Gongjin, next to this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Liu Xie, and this is my eldest brother Dian Wei. Zhou Yu didn't plan to reveal his identity at first, but Cao Cao's character in history is still worth affirming, at least in the current Cao Cao, he is still loyal to the Han Dynasty and will not have ill intentions towards the prince.

"Ah-His Royal Highness the Prince, Yuan Rang came over to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and the last general Cao Cao came late to save the car and hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would atone for his sins, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Cao Cao pulled Xiahoudun and more than 20 followers behind him to kneel down to pay homage to Liu Xie.

"Hurry up, please get up—General Cao is serious!" The crown prince Liu Xie can still be a man, and hurriedly helped Cao Cao up.

Through Cao Cao's introduction to Zhou Yu, I knew that the person in front of him was the famous one-eyed general Xiahou Dun, and his force value was also quite high, and he could fight with the martial saint Guan Yu for fifty rounds without falling behind, and he was a little drooling for such a master Zhou Yu, but looking back, he had fooled Dian Wei into his hands, or left some people for Cao Cao, otherwise how lonely it would be if there was no opponent in this world!

"Report - General Cao, General Cao Ren has completely annihilated the rogue in the manor, and captured three live mouths, General Cao learned from the live mouth that the three people in front of him ran out of the manor, and asked the small general to intercept them. It seems that you are really a god! The team leader who came to report the battle situation saw that Zhou Yu and the three had been taken down by Cao Cao, and hurriedly patted Cao Cao's ass.

"Shut up, General Ben knows, this is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince we are looking for, and he quickly ordered General Cao Ren to come to converge, and General Cao Hong has any news from there? If not, let General Cao Ren send someone to investigate-" Cao Cao's face changed and he scolded this squad leader loudly, afraid that he would accidentally say something rebellious and try to cause trouble for himself, and he knew the abilities of Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, and there was no news so far, and he had a faint sense of foreboding.

"Brother Meng De, your face doesn't look good! How many will you leave for Luoyang? Zhou Yu saw that Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were also converging, and knew that he should leave for Luoyang at this moment, but found that Cao Cao's face was a little gloomy.

"Brother Gongjin Xian, I really don't hide that I came out with three hundred soldiers and horses, and the current one hundred people are to search for the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you, and the remaining two hundred people are taken by my other two clan brothers, Cao Hong and Xiahou Yuan, to set up an ambush at the narrow exit of Baiyun Lake to intercept the money and food that was stolen by the gang of thieves of the old demon of Montenegro, how do you know that there is no news yet? There must have been an accident, and it looks like we need to see them first. Cao Cao explained carefully.

"Okay - I'll talk to His Royal Highness the Prince, let's set off to look for it, and then go back to Luoyang!" Although Zhou Yu said this, he couldn't help but admire Cao Cao in his heart, the plan he designed was seamless, he could not only sell the Yellow Turban Sect a favor, but also let the prince and him return to Luoyang silently. But Cao Cao accidentally saw through this strategy, which shows that either Cao Cao is resourceful and high-minded, or Cao Cao still has capable people under him.

......

"I warn you to lay down your weapons quickly, and surrender immediately after handing over your money and food—or this general will not care what part of you are!" It is regarded as a thief who kidnaps the prince and should be killed-" Yuan Shu shouted loudly at Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong.

"This general can't agree to the general's request, and the general order we receive must be handed over to General Cao in person. Otherwise, if anyone dares to take a step forward, ask the big knife in the hand of a certain family first! Xiahou Yuan said to Yuan Shu without changing his face.

"Bold-Cao Mengde would dare to talk to me Yuan Highway so hard, he doesn't dare here, let alone he is not here! Someone has come - I have gone up and unarmed their weapons. Bring it back to Luoyang and wait for the return to the general to make a decision! Yuan Shu didn't take Xiahou Yuan's little soldier in his eyes at all, and commanded the soldiers and horses to surround him.

Yuan Shu's army was just about to start, and a group of men and horses came behind with Yuan Daqi and Baozi Daqi, surrounded in a semicircle.

"Highway, what's going on? These soldiers and horses are not your people? What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhou Yu? Yuan Shao pretended not to know the situation and asked Yuan Shu.

"Hmph-we were tricked by thieves, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhou Yu are fake, and there are two impostors tied up next to them! The soldiers and horses in front of them belonged to Cao Mengde, they took the lead in intercepting the money and food, and killed some thieves! I was about to ask them for their things back and the corpses of the thieves. Yuan Shu didn't give Yuan Shao any good looks, and secretly scolded Yuan Shao in his heart for coming at a bad time, isn't this here to compete with him for credit? And he has more soldiers and horses than himself!

"Hehe-it means that you didn't save His Royal Highness the Prince, and you lost the money and food? Looks like I'm here just in time! Yuan Shao laughed, turned his head to Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong and said, "I am Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde are friends, why don't you hand over the money and the body of the thief to me?" When I see Brother Meng De, I will explain to him that he will definitely not blame you! How is it? ”

"I'm really sorry General Yuan, the last general can only wait for General Cao's order, since you are General Cao's friend, why don't you send someone to inform General Cao!" Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong glanced at each other and said without changing their faces.

"So that's the only way to do it? Highway, you and my brother do it together, and the credit is half of each, what do the two generals think? Yuan Shao's face suddenly sank, but he didn't expect to give himself face.

"Okay - do it!"

"Listen to Brother Yuan!"
