Cao Bao was invited by Zhenrong, and he was happy in his heart, and returned to the house with a happy face.

His brother Cao Hong went out to greet him, and when he saw his brother's happy face, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What is the joy of my brother?" ”

The Cao family is a big family in Xuzhou, Cao Bao and Cao Hong are half-brothers, and they have a very strong relationship, and now both brothers are serving under Tao Qian, Cao Bao is the general of Xuzhou, and he is trusted by Tao Qian, and Cao Hong is the captain of the city gate.

Cao Bao nodded to Cao Hong in return, and then walked to the study together, and replied as he walked: "After everyone finished discussing just now, Zhenrong invited his brother to the mansion for a banquet in the name of his birthday!" ”

Cao Hong's face was overjoyed after hearing this, and he asked anxiously: "But what about Pi Rongye?" ”

Cao Bao smiled and nodded.

Cao Hong saw Cao Bao's confirmation, his heart was even happier, and he said excitedly: "That Zhenrong relied on the trust of the prince of the palace to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the three counties, but he secretly deducted a lot, filled his private pockets, and often heard people's words, he received believers in Xiapi, there were more than 10,000 disciples, and he often held rituals, which was extremely extravagant, and his greed for wealth can be seen!" ”

The two walked to the study and sat opposite each other, Cao Bao said: "The prince of the house is old, and after Cao Cao's fright, his body is not as good as before, and he is afraid of losing his life.

Chen Deng Mizhu and the two rely on their family power, and have always disdained to interact with their brothers, if my brothers want to gain power in the future, they must contact allies, and the two of them are really restrained, and Zhenrong is the best candidate! ”

Cao Hong couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and replied: "What my brother said is very true, he is kind and confusing, there are many disciples, and he has financial resources, if he gets his help, he will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Cao Bao also thought so in his heart, and immediately got up and said: "It's not early, I'll go and change my clothes, and then I'll go to the banquet, so as not to make Zhen Rong wait for a long time!" ”

"That's how it should be, brother!"

……

The sky is already dark, after all, it is wartime, and Zhenrong does not dare to be too presumptuous, so everything is simple.

When Cao Bao arrived at Zhenrong's mansion, he saw that Zhenrong was already waiting outside the door.

Cao Bao was surprised, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Mr. is so polite, it really flatters Cao!" ”

Zhen Rong said modestly: "General Cao is a distinguished guest, don't worry about it, please talk in the hall!" After speaking, he turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Cao Bao returned the salute, and then walked into the hospital with Zhenrong.

Entering the hall, the guests and hosts were done, and Zhenrong instructed the servants to serve a banquet.

When I was young, several young women, dressed brightly, entered with trays at each end.

The trays were filled with food and wine that had already been prepared, and the women arranged the food and drinks, and then got up and left.

Cao Bao looked at the beautiful woman who had been gone, and the greed in his eyes flashed.

Although it was only this time, it was falling into the eyes of Zhen Rong, who had been secretly watching, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.

Zhen Rong took the wine bottle first, and said with a smile: "I first came to Tan County, I didn't have many friends, today I am cheap, thanks to the general's appreciation, I will first toast a glass of wine to show my gratitude!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Bao also picked up the wine bottle and replied: "The two of us are under the same tent of the king, so we should be more close!" ”

The two drank the wine, and then exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Di Rong secretly looked at Cao Bao, saw that his face was slightly red, and his eyes were slightly confused, so he pretended to say casually: "I don't know what the general thinks of Cao Thief cutting Xuzhou?" ”

Cao Bao sighed when he heard this: "The strength of the Cao thief should not be underestimated, although there is a Lu Yi to help in the battle today, but his soldiers are few, I am afraid that he is not optimistic!" ”

Zhen Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied: "Koji Yi is warlike, in my opinion, if it is fast, it will be one or two days, and if it is slow, it will be three or five days, and it will inevitably clash with Cao Thief."

Today, the king of the palace said that he ordered the general to gather troops and horses to stand by, so that he could go out of the city to attack Cao's army.

At that time, the general and Koji Yi were attacked from both sides, and the Cao thief suffered from the enemy on his back, so he should not be taken care of, and the general will definitely win a big victory, which is really a great achievement! ”

Cao Bao waved his hand after hearing this: "Don't hide it, Mr. Cao is strong, I have fought with a few before, and I have never won, although I have the help of Koji Yi, but I am not optimistic, I really don't want to go out of the city to face the battle!" ”

After listening to this, Zhen Rong said pretendedly: "I respect the general very much, and I intend to help him, but because of the identity of the foreign general, and there are many disciples, if I join forces with the general, I am afraid of arousing the suspicion of others, it is really inappropriate!" ”

Cao Bao came this time to please Zhenrong and get close to him, he didn't want Zhenrong but intended to help him, he was overjoyed, and replied: "My deep trust in the palace monarch, you can go and say it!" ”

Zhen Rong shook his head and said: "The prince of the palace is benevolent, he will not be suspicious, but he is afraid of other people's gossip, and everyone will be golden!" ”

After speaking, Di Rong pointed in the direction of Chen Deng's mansion.

Cao Bao frowned slightly after hearing this, Cao Bao knew very well about Chen Deng's attitude towards him, but he dared not speak out, after all, the Chen family was in Xuzhou, and his strength was second to none.

And the Mi family is looking forward to the Chen family, and the strong alliance is by no means idle.

Cao Bao said drunkenly: "How is it good?" ”

Zhen Rong was secretly happy in his heart, but he said with a sad face: "However, the two of us are not relatives, otherwise we would not have this concern!" After speaking, he quietly looked at Cao Bao.

After arriving in Detan County, he overheard that Cao Bao had a daughter with a good appearance, so he had a dirty heart.

In addition, there is another point, Zhen Rong has long seen that Xuzhou will change hands, so he has a heart, and Cao Hong is the captain of the city gate, and he is in charge of going out of the city and entering the city.

Because of this, Zhen Rong lied about his birthday and invited Cao Bao to the banquet, just to achieve these two things.

Cao Bao was also sorry after hearing this, his brows were sad, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a happy face: "The two of us have the same temperament, what if we are both brothers?" ”

After hearing this, Zhen Rong frowned slightly, and pretended to sigh: "Although this matter is good, it is not feasible!" ”

Cao Bao was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Ji Rongmian said with regret: "The general also knows that I have doctrines, and one of them is that you must not worship with a different surname, so it is difficult!" ”

Cao Bao only knew that there were many disciples of Zhenrong, but he didn't know much about the specific situation, and he didn't know anything about the doctrine, and when he heard Zhenrong's explanation, he could only sigh regretfully: "If this is the case, I don't know what to do!" ”

Seeing that Cao Bao was still not in the trap, Zhen Rong rolled his eyes and said again: "It's a pity that although I have passed the age of standing, I have not married a wife, and I have no children, otherwise I can marry a general, even if I am a concubine, in this way, the two of us can be in-laws, no matter how suspicious others are, I can't say more!" ”

When Cao Bao heard Zhen Rong say this, his heart was moved, and he just wanted to say a few kind words, but suddenly he paused, thought of something, and asked, "Mr. really never married a wife?" ”

Zhen Rong was excited when he heard this, and pretended to be calm: "In the early years, I was dedicated to studying, and I had no distractions.

When the school is just completed, and the scarf thief is in trouble, he can't take care of it, and then he goes to Xuzhou, and he has the love of the prince, please rule Pi, but because of busy official business, it has been delayed so far! ”

Cao Bao's eyes lit up instantly after hearing this!
