"Hmm!"

Sima Ju's face was full of horror, he was dragged out from behind Wen Chou, and with the help of several Cao Jun soldiers, he stuffed sackcloth into his mouth very roughly.

This is not like in film and television dramas, just sipping a piece of paper or holding a small cloth ball.

It was a strong and strong plug, so that it didn't break Sima Ju's mouth.

After making sure that Sima Ju could not commit suicide and utter any words, Zhang Liao was satisfied and ordered someone to tie him to the back of a horse.

That's all it takes.

Cao Angcai quietly looked to the side, his eyes and nose looked at his heart, like a statue standing quietly and ugly.

This guy was intimidated by himself.

Now I've become honest.

Seeing Cao Ang turn his head to look at him, Wen Chou even hurriedly replied with a smiling face, the difference in attitude before and after was huge, and he could be regarded as a master who was proficient in Sichuan opera face changing.

"General Wen, the thief has been caught, so you might as well get on the horse and turn around with me!"

"My father should be gathering troops right now, if I go back earlier, this little bit of people under my hands can be of some use."

Wen Scandal said and nodded.

But after a moment of hesitation.

rejected Cao Ang's proposal.

"General Cao, if you are in a hurry to return to Jinxiang City, then I am afraid you can only take one step ahead, the marching speed of the army under you is too slow, if you go with me, I am afraid there will be a lot of delay!"

When he said this, Cao Ang was stunned for a moment.

Everyone is a well-equipped and mentally excellent regular army, even if the marching speed is slow, how slow can it be?

But before he could speak.

Perhaps seeing the confusion in Cao Ang's eyes, Wen Chou immediately beckoned to Cao Ang, rode his horse in front, and led him to the position of the Chinese army.

As you keep walking through the dense forest.

Cao Ang soon saw the whole picture of the Chinese army.

Now he understood why Wen Chou said this, because what appeared in front of him was a heavy cart, and each cart was full of things.

All of them are tied up sacks of linen, and when you look at them, you feel as thick as a mountain.

And a big car like this, I don't know how many there are in the whole team, in short, Cao Ang looked at the position of the rear army, and he couldn't see the end.

Now he finally understood why Wen Chou was marching slowly, and he couldn't reach Jinxiang County before the end of the war, he really had to transport these big cars, so how could he not be slow when he traveled all the way!

"General Wen, what are these?"

……

Wen Chou turned over and dismounted, then walked quickly to one of the cars, and patted the sackcloth pocket with his hand.

"These are all grain and grass that the prince ordered me to send, from here on, all the carts will be loaded with grain and grass, and all of them will be new grain!"

As soon as this statement came out.

Cao Ang was taken aback.

I couldn't help but jump off the horse, took a bag casually, weighed it twice, and listened to the sound of corn rubbing against each other in the bag.

Cao Ang's eyes slowly widened.

"General Wen, my uncle's affection is too deep, and I am sincerely afraid!"

Wen Scandal immediately laughed.

He waved his hand nonchalantly.

Pretended to be heroic and said: "Zi Yu is serious, according to the original words of the prince, Yanzhou has experienced many wars one after another, and now it is ravaged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and now it can be said that it is in ruins. ”

"And Cao Gong has just become the pastor of Yanzhou, and he is quite unfamiliar with the people and things in Yanzhou, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient in the face of such a situation."

"Right now, Cao Chengcheng needs money, grain and grass to support this mess and get through the critical moment of the current crisis."

Speaking of which.

Wen Chou paused slightly.

Then he patted his chest heavily with his right hand, and put on a posture of righteousness and good buddy.

"Although my family's mansion is only a Taishou at the moment, and there is not much food in the treasury, but when I think of the deep friendship with Cao Gong, I feel that this favor cannot be helped!"

"Therefore, as soon as I gritted my teeth, I was ordered to rush here with these grains and grasses, and it doesn't matter if we save some food and frugality ourselves, no matter what, we must make your army go through the difficult and difficult moment!"

……

What Wen Chou said is called a sincere love.

If it's someone who doesn't know.

I'm afraid I really thought that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a fateful relationship, that is, they were desperate to be hungry, and they also wanted to feed the other person.

It's a pity that Cao Ang is not so easy to fool.

In the way of fooling people, he is the master of calling the ancestor as the ancestor, how can ordinary people jump in front of him.

Regarding these statements given by Wen Chou, Cao Ang almost didn't believe a word.

It is impossible for Yuan Shao to wave his hand and transfer so much food to support him because of the situation.

Look at the grain carts standing here, with no end in sight, conservatively estimated to be hundreds, and even more is not impossible.

Yuan Shao has not yet occupied Jizhou, but only owns Bohai County, the richest county in Jizhou, and it is remarkable to radiate some surrounding towns.

With such a volume, taking out such a huge amount of grain and grass will definitely make Yuan Shao's flesh hurt.

Between his father Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, how can there be such a heavy relationship?

Besides.

Even if Yuan Shaofu is rival the country.

The grain in the warehouse is piled up until it rots and can't be eaten, and he will never do such a meaningless thing.

Isn't the time and labor cost of sending people all the way over expensive?

So Yuan Shao did it.

It must be something else!

……

From sending Wen Chou's handsome soldiers to support, to giving these grains and grass to solve the urgent need.

Every step in this seems so extraordinary, Yuan Shao is a little too proactive.

So in other words.

What he wants his father and son to do is probably not a simple matter.

Take Yuan Shao's current situation.

What will he do that needs his father Cao Cao, who is in Yanzhou, to help with himself?

Cao Ang couldn't help but think of a name.

Gongsun Chan!

Before Yuan Shao dominated Jizhou and then swallowed the four northern states, the biggest opponent he faced was Sun Zhan, the heroic male in the north who was entrenched in Youzhou.

General Baima's threat to Yuan Shao is too great, and his combat power is so high that Yuan Shao must be able to experience the feeling of being on his back.

Think about it a little differently.

If he was Yuan Shao, he would definitely have to find a way to solve the unstable factor of Gongsun Zhan, and no matter how bad it was, he would have to reach a balanced posture with him.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to sleep and eat!

So thinking about it this way, Yuan Shao sent Wen Chou over for a trip, and then wanted to ask his father and son to do something, most of which was to Shanggong Sun Zhan!

……

General White is indeed not a person to mess with.

Even from Cao Ang's current point of view.

He is absolutely not sure that he will be able to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and he can only say half and half to him.

Of course.

Just because it's hard to mess with doesn't mean you can't mess with it.

Cao Ang's next strategy was originally to go north to Jizhou, plant nails in Jizhou, and take advantage of the situation to completely muddy the water in the entire north.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, these will be his potential enemies, and sooner or later they will be fought.

Therefore, this batch of grain and grass sent by Yuan Shao, Cao Ang can receive it with peace of mind and without any burden.

After thinking clearly.

Cao Ang immediately bowed to Wen Chou.

The attitude is also a little polite.

Said quite solemnly: "Uncle Benchu thinks so much about my father and son, which really makes me feel deeply in my heart, and the elders don't dare to refuse." ”

"If I refuse, it will chill my uncle's heart, so I can only accept it with a cheeky face."

"There is just a word, and I also asked General Wen to tell my uncle on my way back to Bohai County, and he said that today's generous gift will be repaid after the next day!"

Such a sincere attitude towards Cao Ang.

Wen Chou was very satisfied.

For the next plan to unfold and ask for further help, I can't help but feel a little confident.

As the prince said.

If this trip can be successful, what is the value of those grains and grass, as long as they can solve the enemy on the side of the couch who is sleeping soundly, then the price paid today will be rewarded a hundred times more in the future.

……

After figuring out the matter.

Cao Ang naturally would not abandon Wen Chou and lead the cavalry to leave alone, which would be a bit too rude to do so.

Therefore, no matter how slow the march is.

He also took his soldiers with him, and walked with Wen Chou all the way, and the two chatted casually on the way, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

completely forgot the slight unhappiness that had been caused by Sima Ju before.

From the mouth of Wen Chou.

Cao Ang also successfully got a lot of words, and knew a lot of information about Jizhou that he had not yet mastered, and roughly figured out what kind of situation Jizhou Youzhou was at the moment.

Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Han Fu are all mixed up in the big quagmire of Jizhou at the moment.

In addition to these three forces.

There is also the Montenegrin Army in the northwest of Jizhou, which is also an extremely active force.

While Gongsun Chan was plotting against Jizhou, he was also confronting Liu Yu of Youzhou, and at the same time, he was under pressure from many parties, but he was still the strongest party.

Expectedly.

Once Cao Ang is also involved, then Jizhou will be completely messed up, and he may be hit behind, and he doesn't know who hit whom.

…………

Although the march was slow.

But the good news is that it's not far.

Therefore, Cao Ang and Wen Chou, after all, arrived outside Jinxiang City before the sun set.

And after passing through the wilderness north of the city.

Cao Ang was a little surprised to find that the battlefield had almost been cleaned up at this moment.

The previous 100,000 rout captives had all been received at this moment, and except for a few corpses outside the city that had not yet been cleaned up, they had generally recovered to their basic appearance.

Is Lao Cao so efficient?

After dividing several forces one after another, he was able to clean up his hands and tails so quickly, and he can only say that Jiang is still old and spicy, worthy of being an old comrade!

Just a moment later.

Cao Ang realized that he was wrong.

It is not that his father Cao Cao is efficient, but that two new forces have appeared on his side.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and Taishan County Taishou should be Shao.

……

Jinxiang County Yazhong.

Everyone sat together.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, staggering, singing and dancing, silk and bamboo orchestra, it looks so happy.

Participating in this banquet, in addition to Cao Cao, who was the pastor of Yanzhou, also included Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Ying Shao and other Yanzhou county guards.

Of course, it's not just these high-ranking Yanzhou officials.

At this moment, representatives of local families who are in Jinxiang County and have a certain status also attended the banquet.

And Cao Ang and the ugliness he brought.

Naturally, he was also seated.

Sitting in his position at this moment, Cao Ang was drinking a little wine casually, while looking at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although he was wearing the armor of a general, he looked quite like a scribe, and between his words and deeds, he could be called elegant.

Everyone has seen each other before.

This person is Taishan County Taishou Yingshao.

This trip led thousands of elite soldiers, starting from Fenggao County, Taishan County, after converging with Baoxin in Jibei Kingdom, and then all the way through Dongping Kingdom, and finally arrived in Jinxiang County today, just in time for Cao Cao to lead people to clean up the battlefield.

To talk about Bao Xin and Ying Shao.

Cao Ang was really powerless to complain about them.

It's a coincidence!

I really don't know if everyone discussed it together, or what, even with Wen Chou, the three of them came in a hurry after the end of the war.

As if he didn't come to war.

I came here to wash the floor.

If you can come over earlier, what kind of strategy is needed, sneak attack directly from behind, and under the flanking attack from front and back, the Yellow Turban Army collapsed on the spot.

……

"General Cao, when I was about to leave, the prince of the palace explained a lot of things, all of which I wanted to convey to Duke Cao."

"After the banquet is over later, see if you can make it convenient and arrange it for me a little, so that I can meet Cao Gong in private!"

Listening to Wen Chou's request.

Cao Ang nodded happily.

"This is the proper meaning, but at the moment, all of you are too guarded, and after the banquet is over, I am afraid that you will have to discuss it first."

"You can only spare time later."

Since it is asking someone to do something, of course, it is mainly other people's time, how can Wen Chou say more, he agrees very obediently, and then drinks and watches the dance leisurely, and no longer says anything.

After three rounds of drinking.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rest of the people were not here, Cao Ang picked up the wine glass and came to his father Cao Cao leisurely.

pretended to toast, but in fact, he lowered his voice and asked in Cao Cao's ear.

"Father, what is the situation with Ying Shao?"

Cao Cao, who was still a little drunk, came to his senses in an instant after hearing Cao Ang's inquiry, squinted his eyes and glanced around.

Then he said quietly: "There is a lot of respect on the face, but if you look closely, you can see how unconvincing it is in his heart." ”

Cao Ang understood.

Although this guy respects his father Cao Cao on the surface, he has never seen the power of the Cao family, at most he has only heard rumors, so he can't talk about it.

At the same time, this guy should still have his own ideas, and he may not be willing to include himself in the Cao family's political system.

It's normal to have such thoughts.

But how could Cao Ang do what he wanted?

Although Taishan County is not a large county in Yanzhou, it is definitely an indispensable part.

In addition to a large number of mineral resources in the territory.

More importantly, Taishan County connects Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and is an important springboard to these two states, so from this moment on, it must be firmly in the hands.

Gain control as soon as possible, and then provide great convenience for the next to spread influence to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"Father, while Uncle Meng Zhuo is here, let's press him later!"

……

Cao Cao nodded happily.

With a slight movement of his chin, he raised it in the direction of Wen Chou, and asked with some doubts.

"What is the origin of this surnamed Wen?"

A cheerful smile appeared on Cao Ang's face.

Make a downward swing with your right hand.

"That's a big fat sheep!"
