In the Huaibei Wei camp, Cao Cao lay on the bed again, his head was covered with a white handkerchief, and he faintly felt that there was another sign of a head disease.

A letter from Xiahoudun was delivered, and the army was defeated and the camp was shocked, and Cao Cao was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

looked at the tent above his head in a daze, and the gold thread was embroidered as a dragon and a phoenix, vivid, but he couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

It is said that a toothache is not a disease, and it hurts to kill people, but compared to a head disease, it is not worth mentioning at all, and I feel a little sorry in my heart.

In the past three years, he has commanded Ruo Ding, invincible, although he has been through wind and frost, but he is also happy, and he is enough to be famous for future generations, why do you want to return to the dynasty and fight wits and courage with these big and small foxes?

"Zhou Gongjin Jiangdong Junjie, Minister Tuogu, how could he secretly collude with Liu Qi?" Remembering Sima Yi's previous admonition, Cao Cao sighed, "Hiss-"

Cao Cao covered his head in pain, as long as he thought about it for a moment, the back of his head felt like a river and a sea, which was the precursor to the onset of a head disease.

Zhengqiang made himself not think about military and political affairs, and suddenly the guards came to report, Jiang Gan returned to the camp and was waiting outside the tent.

Cao Cao sat up suddenly: "What kind of face does the son have to come to see Lonely?" ”

Just as he was about to scold the stick and beat it out of the camp, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he ordered someone to summon him into the tent, and when he saw Jiang Gan's dusty servants, he looked indignant and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Gan was heartbroken, hugged his fists and said: "King, a certain book has formed an alliance with Zhou Gongjin, and a letter was sent before, who knew that General Xiahou secretly transferred troops, and it was a big thing, and it fell short!" ”

On the way back, Jiang Gan received a reply from Cao Cao, and when he saw that he was named the Qingzhou Thorn History, he was even more angry and trembled, and cursed the eighteenth generation of Xiahoudun's ancestors several times along the way.

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Yuan Rang has been commanding the army for many years, don't you know how to advance and retreat?" It must have been because you were deceived by Zhou Lang and took it lightly, so you were defeated. ”

"I've seen Zhou Gongjin again!" Jiang Gan hurriedly entered the city for the second time, and Zhou Yu complained because he was annoyed that Xiahoudun had divided his troops to attack Beihai.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, muttered for a moment and said, "Since Zhou Gongjin has the heart of revenge, do you dare to go to Qingzhou again and promote this matter?" ”

Jiang Gan suddenly perked up, hugged his fists and said: "There is a letter from the prime minister, and I am willing to go." ”

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded slightly, motioned to Jiang Gan to the bed, and commanded in a low voice: "Gu suspects that Zhou Lang and Liu Qi are secretly colluding, you go this time, on the grounds of handing over Qingzhou, stay in the mansion, secretly listen to the news, if you can find evidence, there is another reward." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Gan tugged at his beard and frowned, although he felt that Zhou Yu would never turn his back on the enemy and defect to the enemy, but at this time, he was in a hurry to prove himself, and hurriedly took the order.

Cao Cao sat alone for a while, waited for the headache to be a little lighter, and ordered Cao Ren, Sima Yi and others to come to discuss the matter.

Cao Chunxian said: "According to the scout's report, Jiangdong Sun Wei has been defeated and left Lingnan, Sun Yu is still in Lujiang, Sun Fu and the two of them fought against Yu Ban and Zhang He in Yuzhang, and they have been defeated repeatedly, and they have retreated to Nanchang. ”

"Hmph, all the children of the Sun family, except for Uncle Sun, no one can fight!" Cao Cao suddenly became angry with the Sun family, gritted his teeth and said: "Yu Ban and Zhang He's betrayal of the master, I will kill them." ”

This was originally his confidant, but he became a confidant, and the more Cao Cao thought about it, the more angry he became.

If Liu Qi didn't have these two people, he could only transfer Guan Yu and wait until Jiangdong put down the rebellion, which would reduce the pressure on the Central Plains.

Now that he has no one to use, he is still attacking his allies, and under the elimination of the other, it is no longer possible to make up for it by supplementing a general.

Sima Yi offered advice: "Although Danyang Shanyue was suppressed by Eastern Wu and Huairou, there is the Peng clan in Poyang Lake, and it is not compatible with the Wu army, why not tempt the prime minister?" Previously, Peng Hu and others were murdered by Liu Qi and Zhou Yu, and they will definitely raise troops to take revenge. ”

Across the Jianghuai land, Cao Cao was also out of reach at this time, and immediately sent someone to contact the Poyang Lake sect thieves, and promised to send troops to assist Sun Fu with high-ranking officials, which was delayed for a while.

Cao Ren said: "Sun Yu is wandering in the Lujiang River, and he will suspect that Sun Quan will give up power, and Zhang Fei is eyeing him, so he does not dare to act rashly. ”

"I don't know the reality of Jiangdong today, and I'll discuss it when Yang Dezu returns from mourning!" Cao Cao rubbed his forehead and said: "I ordered Jiang Gan to return to Qingzhou again, not only to monitor Zhou Lang, but also to transfer the tiger from the mountain, and when he goes south to Guangling, get rid of the Wu soldiers in Qingzhou in one fell swoop, what do you think?" ”

Cao Ren nodded and said: "Prime Minister's plan is very good, Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses are in Qingzhou, like a fish in the throat, not vomiting or unhappy." ”

Sima Yi said: "Zhou Gongjin is well versed in strategy, since he has sent troops to attack General Xiahou, the prime minister has formed an alliance with him regardless of his previous suspicions, I am afraid that he is already wary!" If he used a false way to kill Xuzhou, but secretly contacted Liu Qi to seek Xuzhou, wouldn't it be self-defeating? ”

"False Journey?" Cao Cao's eyes were slightly cold, and he pulled his beard and sneered: "How can the lonely Marquis be confused by wealth? ”

When discussing the military situation, the soldiers came to report that Yang Xiu had returned to the camp, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered someone to bring it in, and when he saw Yang Xiu's face full of red light, he couldn't help but feel refreshed: "How about Dezu's trip?" ”

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Yang Xiu bowed and hugged his fists, seeing that there were a lot of people on the left and right, and he didn't rush to answer, but first mentioned a food box: "Then Liu Qi heard that the prime minister had never tasted pineapple cake, and when he left, he gave another box, please be sure to taste it." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked at the food box, saw that Cao Chun's eyes widened, waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, and asked, "So it seems that Liu Qi is not suspicious?" ”

"Not bad!" Yang Xiu saw that there was no one left and right, untied his bun, and actually took out a ball of cloth from his turban, "This is Sun Quan's own blood letter, it is held hostage by Liu Qi, and he can't help himself, if the prime minister can help him recover Jiangdong, he is willing to surrender to Wei." ”

Listening to Yang Xiu's advice, Cao Cao sighed: "Sun Zhongmou's son of a guinea dog, and his son should be like Sun Zhongmou Liu Bowei!" ”

After reading the blood book carefully, he nodded and said: "This book came just in time, I want to invite Dezu to go to Lujiang again, tell him the truth about seeing Sun Quan, and agree to discuss Liu Qi together, what do you think?" ”

Yang Xiu was overjoyed and said: "I am willing to go." ”

Cao Cao said: "Let's rest for two days, and it's not too late to go." ”

Yang Xiu hugged his fists and said: "The military situation is urgent, the war is in full swing, now is the time to make meritorious contributions, all the soldiers are bloody to kill the enemy, why are you afraid of the hardships of the wind and dust?" ”

"It's good to be young!" Cao Cao was greatly pleased, as if he saw his shadow from Yang Xiu, opened the brocade box and said with a smile: "This crisp is rewarded to you." ”

Yang Xiu was flattered, but waved his hand again and said: "I was smart and divided the cake before, but this time Liu Qi sent it all the way, how dare I use it again?" ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Since Liu Qi gave it to me, it will belong to me, so what's the matter if I give it to you again?" ”

"Thank you Prime Minister for your kindness!" Yang Xiu was overjoyed, but he swallowed the pineapple cake in two or three bites, enjoyed it with a face, and thanked him.

Cao Cao stared at the box of crisps and hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but take out a piece, his eyes widened after just one bite, even if it was a palace meal, there had never been such a delicacy.

"It's worthy of Mrs. Sun's own handmade," Cao Cao licked his lips, suddenly felt that the headache had been reduced a lot, leaned in front of the brocade box and sniffed deeply, and said with a low smile: "Babble, the fragrance is still there-"
