When Cao Cao pressed the head of the shopkeeper, rested the dagger on his neck, and gestured to cut horizontally.

The girl finally couldn't resist it, she knelt down in a panic, and shouted, "Good man, spare my life, I was forced." ”

Han Fu, who was leaning against the door, looked over with a shocked expression.

What happened?

Did he miss some crucial news?

Cao Cao was obviously asking those extremely indecent words, why didn't this girl confess herself?!

"What does Yin De tell you to do? Don't be nervous, speak slowly, and honestly say that I won't kill you. Cao Cao's face softened a little, and said to the girl, "Don't try to cover up for Yin De, since I can find you, you can't escape." ”

"By the way, what kind of flower are you?"

The girl pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm Xinghua......"

Xinghua lowered her head, and after being silent for a few breaths, she said: "Yin De has a friend named Wang Ming, who is a ranger. He forced me to send a message to Wang Ming, asking him to tell Tao Fujun that the Langya Kingdom had been controlled by Cao Cao and Xu Shu, and that they had been using Tao Fujun. I also want to tell Tao Fujun that Cao Cao has gathered more than 5,000 troops, so that Tao Fujun can send troops as soon as possible, that's all. ”

"This old dog has quite clever moves." Cao Cao scolded.

He didn't expect that he would be able to deliver the message in such a way.

"How long has it been since the news got out?" Cao Cao asked.

"...... It's been two days. Xinghua glanced at Cao Cao quickly and said.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and glared at Han Fu fiercely, "You husband, misunderstand me!" ”

Han Fu: ......

He also found out yesterday.

"Do you know Wang Ming?" Cao Cao fiercely pulled the shopkeeper's hair and asked.

The shopkeeper's legs were frightened and weak, and he nodded his head twice.

"Where does his family live?" Cao Cao asked again.

The shopkeeper shook his head, and said with a cry in his voice: "Good man, I really don't know this, but he often comes to me, and I know what kind of person he looks like." ”

Xinghua recalled for a moment and took the initiative to say: "He doesn't seem to have a place to live in Langya, I remember when he mentioned it." ”

Cao Cao's face couldn't help but become solemn.

Trying to find someone who has no place to live is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He asked again, "Did he ever mention when he would leave Langya to report to Tao Qian?" ”

"Gone the same day." Xinghua didn't dare to look at Cao Cao, lowered her head and whispered, "He just came that day, we just haven't started yet, I'm worried that Yin De will really kill me, so ...... Tell Wang Ming about this first. ”

After Wang Ming heard it, he said that it was no longer safe here, and he had to hurry up and deliver a letter or something, and then turned around and left.

Cao Cao's face turned black when he heard this, and he pointed at Han Fu and scolded, "You thing that has not achieved enough and has more than enough to lose!" It's just that you were staring at someone, and you actually stared at it like this, it's really a bastard. ”

Han Fu knew that it was indeed his errand that was not safe enough, so he just scolded him.

"Gong Cao, it is imperative that we find a way to remedy it as soon as possible." Han Fu said.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, "The news has been sent, how can I remedy it?" ”

"Cao Gong?" The shopkeeper of the reverse brigade looked at Cao Cao in shock, "Are you ...... Cao Cao?! ”

Cao Cao raised his hand and smashed the shopkeeper with a fist, dragged him out of the door, and said to Han Fu: "Take them back to the palace." ”

“…… Good! Han Fu didn't know what Cao Cao was going to do when he brought these people back, but he didn't dare to ask at this time.

The three girls of Xinghua, who were already flustered, were so frightened that they couldn't even walk steadily, especially Xinghua, and the whole person seemed to lose her soul for a moment.

"What to do? Are we dead? Orchid asked quietly.

The lotus and apricot blossoms shook their heads in unison, their faces as pale as paper.

When the group returned to the palace, Xu Shu was waiting in the hall.

"Look at your faces, it seems that something not very good has happened?" Xu Shu asked while eating a leg of lamb in his left hand and a garlic clove in his right hand.

Cao Cao, who had a black face, threw the shopkeeper of the reverse brigade who was still unconscious on the ground, and said in a muffled voice: "Ask your chief, what good things he did." ”

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept over the three Xinghua behind Han Fu, and said, "As far as I know, Shi Chang doesn't seem to have the habit of being evil. ”

"We were given yin by Yin De, and he sent the news that we occupied Langya Country by going against the Bad Travel, and asked a ranger named Wang Ming to inform Tao Qian. I found Tao Qian sneaking in and out of this reverse brigade yesterday, and I suspect that he may have this purpose, but I didn't expect him to send the news out two days ago. Han Fu said dejectedly.

Xu Shu replied very flatly and asked, "Did he send a letter or a message?" ”

"Message." Han Fu said.

"What did you say?" Xu Shu asked while gnawing on the leg of lamb with garlic.

Han Fu looked at Xinghua, "Yin De asked you to pass on the message, and said it word for word." ”

"Just the ...... I just said," Xinghua said with a nervous expression on her face that was about to cry, "It is said that General Cao used Tao Fujun to recruit soldiers and horses, and also occupied Langya Kingdom, just these two things." ”

"Just those two things?" Xu Shu asked repeatedly.

Xinghua was so frightened that her eyes were full of steam, and she couldn't stop nodding and said, "Just these two things, the little woman doesn't dare to lie to the general." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Shu said with a chuckle.

Cao Cao, who couldn't sit still in anger, jumped up and shouted loudly, "Nothing matters?!" ”

"It really doesn't matter, we guarded the palace for King Langya, and helped Tao Fujun attack the Yellow Turban Army, and reorganized some parts, which is all reasonable." Xu Shu nodded and pointed to the Xinghua people, "It's better to take them out first." ”

"Good!" Han Fu responded.

在韩馥带着几人离开之后，徐庶这才说道：“需尽快将粮食运出去，做好接战的准备！ ”

Cao Cao looked sideways, "Didn't you just say that it mattered?" ”

"Maybe some of these people are Yin De's henchmen, send some news out, in case you can fool Tao Qian." Xu Shu smiled and said casually, "Doing things casually may buy us a little time." ”

"Don't be delusional, Tao Qian was already wary of us, if he learned that our army took the opportunity to raise soldiers and horses with his money and food, he would definitely not give up." Cao Cao said.

"Actually, General Cao really doesn't have to worry for the time being, Tao Qian is anxious to deal with Yuan Shaodu now, but he doesn't have time to target us. That is, from now on, we will no longer be provided with food and grass for our army, but for us now, there is no delay. Xu Shu sat down, took out a short knife and carefully scraped the tendons on the leg of mutton, and said.

Cao Cao bowed, "But you still have to prepare early." ”

"Hmm." Xu Shu agreed, "Present to the imperial court, explain the affairs here, and ask General Cao Ren to be ready to send troops to support us at any time and consolidate the four counties of Langya Kingdom." At the same time, you can ask how the imperial court's western expedition is going. ”

"Regardless of whether the imperial court wins or loses, once there is a result, Yuan Shao will inevitably stop continuing to attack Xuzhou."

Xu Shu's analysis finally calmed Cao Cao's irritable heart, he took a sip of water, and said: "If the imperial court wins the westward expedition, Yuan Shao is worried that he will be beaten, and he will rein in his edge and consolidate the territory he has occupied. ”

"If the imperial court is defeated, Yuan Shao should march into Yanzhou, right?"

"Exactly." Xu Shu said, "So General Cao, don't blame Shi Chang, the two men transmitted the news through evil behavior, which is really hard to think, he can find out in time, I feel that it is already incredible." ”

"He did a good job, at least he found out in time, and I was also angry." Cao Cao didn't expect Xu Shu to go around in such a big circle, and he still remembered to intercede for Han Fu, so he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, he didn't think about what Han Fu would do.

"However, Yin De can't stay."

Xu Shu bowed, "I was also about to talk about this, since the purpose has been exposed, it will be very detrimental to us if he continues to stay in Langya, and sooner or later it will become a disaster." ”

Cao Cao picked up the horizontal knife that he had placed in the corner of the wall and tried the blade, "I'll personally send him on the road!" ”

"Yinde, Yinde, this name is not a little good."

Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder, the name of the person is still okay, the surname is Yin Mingde, that is, it is a little unpleasant to listen to.

I don't know who took it.

……

When Liu Wei was in Ji County, he received information from the Zhenfu Division about Xuzhou.

Liu Yu knelt cross-legged in Liu Wei's spacious car, and meticulously drew the places occupied by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Xuzhou on the map, "Your Majesty, that's roughly the case." ”

"General Cao relied on Tao Qian's supply of money and grain, and quietly annexed the four counties of Langya near Taishan County, Yuan Shao occupied the nine cities of Langya and the two cities of Donghai County, and the army was in Donghai Li City at this moment."

Liu Wei looked at the map and couldn't help but smile, "Yuan Shao, is this giving me face?" ”

The four cities of Langya, which Cao Cao secretly occupied, were all close to Taishan County.

Like Linyi, Hecheng is less than 100 miles away from Taishan County.

"Your Majesty, no, both Linyi and Yangdu were occupied by Yuan Shao, but they were repelled by General Cao. Now it is still occupied by Tao Qian on the bright side, but all the soldiers and horses have been subdued by General Cao. Liu Yu explained.

Only then did Liu Wei understand that he really almost thought that Yuan Shao was worried about alarming the imperial court soldiers and horses in Taishan County, so he crossed these places and gave Cao Cao an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Cao Cao and Xu Shu's tactics are not bad, and they take advantage of the fire to rob and fight for a very second." Liu Wei praised.

Liu Yu quietly supported his forehead, the monarchs and ministers are all unscrupulous masters.

"Ordered the people of the Zhenfu Division in Xuzhou, pay more attention to the men and horses on both sides of Yuan Shao and Tao Qian, and pass information to Cao Cao in time. In addition, let Cao Ren divide his troops and station in Taishan County, just in case. Since Cao Cao has taken advantage of the chaos to bring back the land of these four counties, the imperial court should defend it. Liu Wei said.

Cao Cao and Xu Shu are robbing while the fire is taking advantage of the fire, and they are fishing in troubled waters, which is really not bad.

"Yui!" Qin An responded and quickly drafted a decree.
