065, Liu Bei's undercover agent
"Meet the General!"
Dian Wei and Gan shopkeepers and the guards bowed in front of the car.
"No need to be polite!"
Cao Xin jumped out of the carriage and glanced at the footprints on Dian Wei's body, "Win?" β
"Hehe, if I won, if the general hadn't asked me to detain him, I would have been sure to deal with him within fifty moves."
Dian Wei said with an iron fist.
Cao Xin laughed, Dian Wei has eaten well in the past two years, his body is stronger than before, and he trains every day, and his strength and kung fu are stronger than before.
In foot combat, except for Cao Xin, no one is invincible, and it is not a problem to clean up Zhang Fei.
Although Dian Wei is good at foot combat, he is average in terms of fighting generals, because his body is too heavy, he wears armor and holds weapons, he can't afford to carry a war horse, and his movements are slow, which is not as good as a first-class general like Zhang Fei.
"Cao Ziyu, why did you come at this time?"
Guo Jia shouted.
"Traffic jam on the road!"
Cao Xin smiled lightly, greeted Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and a few others, and walked in front of Liu Guanzhang and the others to greet them,
"Haha, Xuande Gong is not harmed, haha~ General Guan has a good complexion, haha~ Zhang Yide, you and his grandmother know that Taibai Building is my place, and she came over to spread wild, are you deliberately unable to get along with me?"
"Yes and what?!"
Zhang Yide glared and shouted in a thick voice, "Don't look at you as a bullshit General Pingnan, in the eyes of grandpa, you are still the thief who was beaten everywhere." β
"Yide, don't be rude!"
Liu Bei said lightly.
"Hahaha, it's okay, Zhang Yide, we were just tied last time, and General Ben didn't lose to you."
Cao Xin laughed.
"Hmph, if you hadn't run fast, I would have shot you earlier."
Zhang Fei pouted.
"Zhang Yide, General Ben doesn't debate with you about who is powerful, it's meaningless, listen to the reports of his subordinates, you drank five bottles of wine in the restaurant but didn't dare to admit it, when did you Zhang Yide become a laipi?"
"I only drink three bottles!"
Zhang Fei gritted his steel teeth and tilted his head to the side.
"Haha, General Ben has a way to check how many bottles you drink?"
Cao Zhen chin smiled.
"What's the solution?"
"It's very simple, use a knife to make a hole in your stomach, and then use a wine bottle to pick it up, and drink a few bottles, do you want to try it?"
β....β
Zhang Fei's eyes widened, he covered his stomach and took a big step back, Cao Xin's guy was also a little vicious, he really wanted to dig a hole in his stomach to catch wine, could I still live?
"General Cao, it was Yide who was drunk and remembered wrongly, and I am willing to repay the loss of the restaurant for Yide, please ask General Cao to forgive Yide for this experience."
Liu Bei bowed his hand and said.
"Haha, joking, Xuande Gong, General Guan, please sit upstairs."
Cao Xin waved his hand and invited Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhong Xuan and others to return to the restaurant.
"Cao Ziyu and Liu Xuande?"
On the side of the street, Cao Hong sneered, lowered the curtain, and asked the coachman to go to the prime minister's mansion.
"It's over! Time to go! β
The surrounding melon-eating crowd saw several leading actors leave, and they gradually dispersed.
Only a green-shirted literati crossed his arms and stroked his mustache, looking at the golden carriage from afar, with curiosity and doubt in his eyes.
"Whew! Are you trying to steal General Cao's carriage? β
The two Xu Du rangers came up and asked.
"I'm just looking!"
The green-shirted literati looked at the two and said.
"Haha, don't you dare to steal? Let me tell you, in the entire Central Plains, our eldest brother dares to steal General Cao's carriage. β
The two rangers said proudly.
"Oh, your eldest brother stole General Cao's carriage?"
"Yes, our eldest brother snatched General Cao's carriage and fought with General Cao."
"The result?"
The green-shirted literati said curiously.
"General Cao's martial arts are world-famous, and my eldest brother is naturally not an opponent, but General Cao thinks that my eldest brother's kung fu is good, so he invited my eldest brother to join the Langya Army, does the Langya Army know? The Langya army of 2,000 people, each of them is a hundred, in Nanyang three battles a day, defeated 30,000 Jingzhou troops, and later defeated 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses in Xinye, all of which are the credit of the Langya army, and my eldest brother was a quhou in the Langya army. β
The two rangers said proudly.
"The Langya Army is indeed a good fighting army."
The green-shirted literati nodded, he had also heard of Langya's achievements and was deeply admired.
"Alas, it's a pity~"
The two rangers sighed again.
"What a pity?"
The green-shirted literati asked.
"It's a pity that the selection standards of the Langya Army are too high, the first is the archers, to seven arrows in ten, the second is the infantry, to be able to pick up three hundred pounds of boulders, walk three steps, the third is fast, a stick of incense to run ten miles, the requirements are too high, we participated in the first two days, but unfortunately the results are not good, if you can join the Langya Army, the recruit period can receive consistent money every month, often can eat fragrant steamed buns, large pieces of pork, roast chicken, drink to burn knives, tsk, that day is really beautiful."
The two rangers wiped the corners of their mouths as they spoke.
"Can a soldier eat roast chicken and drink roast knives?"
The green-shirted scribe was surprised.
"What are you lying to, my eldest brother said that only by eating meat can he train his strength, my eldest brother has been in the Langya Army for more than half a year, and he is getting more and more powerful, which is why General Cao will give the Langya Army soldiers meat and drink wine if he is rich, and other armies are not treated so well."
"Langya Army?"
The green-shirted literati stroked his mustache, and suddenly several officials came from the street, he hurriedly turned his back, turned around again, and found two rangers staring at him with strange faces.
"In the next order, don't leave it at that!"
The literati in green shirts clenched their fists and quickly left Taibai Building.

"General Cao, the money is not rich for the time being, and I hope that the restaurant will be graced for a few more days."
In the restaurant, Liu Bei arched his hand and said.
"Xuande Gong doesn't need to be like this, you and I are acquaintances, so you don't have to care about a little money."
Cao Xin waved his hand and said.
"Thank you for the kindness of the general, but the fault of this matter lies with my Yide, and I should compensate."
Liu Bei insisted.
"Big brother!"
Zhang Fei squeezed his eyes, and said angrily, "Cao Xin said that there is no need to pay, what are you humble, Cao Xin is worth millions of yuan, and he sits in a golden carriage under his buttocks, and he doesn't care about these hundreds of small money." β
"Winged doesn't need to say much!"
Liu Bei shook his head.
Cao Xin smiled lightly, "Duke Xuande, the prime minister praised you as the pastor of Yuzhou, please go back to Xiaopei to convene the old department, why is Duke Xuande still staying in Xudu?" β
Liu Bei sighed lightly, "Xiao Pei was attacked by Lu Bu, the money and grain were lost, there was no money and no food, how could I recall the old department, I heard that Xu Du Tuntian had achieved something, harvested a lot of grain, and wanted to get along with Cheng to borrow some grain and grass." β
Cao Xin nodded, in these years, the war was fought with military rations, and the three armies went first before moving grain and grass.
Let the soldiers eat and drink enough, they will fight the battlefield, if they are hungry, it is useless to have a million troops.
But in these years, there were wars and turmoil, and there were years of famine, and no one was short of food and grass.
In the past two years, under the auspices of Zao Yi and Han Hao, Cao Cao began to recruit people around Xudu, build water conservancy, and harvest 30,000 stone of grain.
Although the harvest was good, Cao Cao was defeated twice in Wancheng and Huainan, lost a lot of grain and grass, and had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to eat and pay military salaries.
The grain harvested this year was simply not enough for Cao Cao to squander, which was one of the reasons why Cao Cao postponed his attack on LΓΌ Bu.
Cao Cao also has no food, and it is probably useless for Liu Bei to stay here.
"Xuande Gong, Cao Jun's life is not easy, if you want to borrow food, I'm afraid you will have to wait for some time."
Cao Xin sighed.
Liu Bei smiled, "Not really, the prime minister is magnanimous, and promised to borrow 30,000 stone grain and grass first to convene the old department." β
"The prime minister promised to borrow 30,000 stones? Haha, congratulations to Xuande Gong, with these grains and grasses, Xuande Gong will definitely be able to regroup and drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou. β
The corners of Cao Xin's mouth moved, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng was hopeless.
In Cao Jun's camp, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Dong Zhao, etc. all put forward the suggestion of killing Liu Bei, they thought that Liu Bei was a hero, with the posture of a hero, and should be killed to prevent future troubles, but Cao Cao resolutely did not want to kill this good opponent.
Cao Cao was able to destroy Liu Bei many times in his life, but he chose to give up.
He is not only good to Liu Bei, but also loves Wu and Wu, and is also very good to Liu Bei's generals.
For example, after passing five levels, killing six generals, and releasing water Guan Yu.
Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo took a child to kill in Cao's army, Cao Cao pulled his generals to watch the play next to him, and didn't want them to play, lest someone be too powerful and affect Zhao Yun's debut.
He also had a good impression of Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei stood on the bridge and rolled out, and Cao Cao immediately ordered Xu Huang to retreat ten miles from the forbidden Xiahou Yuan.
Based on the above reasons, Cao Xin has reason to suspect that Cao Cao is an undercover agent planted by Liu Bei in Cao's army.
Cao Xin lamented that if he had the opportunity, he must find out about Prime Minister Cao's psychological activities.
