Chapter 762: Next Steps
The shopkeeper immediately replied, "I have good wine and good food here, and I guarantee that it will taste delicious and the price is fair." ”
"Tell me!"
The shopkeeper said: "I have a box of aged liquor here, which has been cellared for ten years and has a mellow taste; There is a pot of osmanthus honey stuffed peach blossoms, each bottle costs ten gold, absolutely good; There is also a daughter Red Five Altars. ”
He introduced them one by one, while Cao Ang listened carefully and occasionally commented on them.
After a while, Cao Ang put down the glass: "These wines are good, wrap them all up for me." ”
"Thank you, Childe, it's a hundred taels in total!" The shopkeeper said with a finger outstretched.
Cao Ang frowned: "Why is it so expensive?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Childe, I am the best restaurant in Nancheng here, and the price is naturally the highest." If you are too expensive, you can try it elsewhere. ”
Cao Ang was displeased when he heard this: "How can it be sold so expensive?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly: "Childe, this is the best price we have here." ”
Cao Ang shook his head: "I was able to win this time, but there was actually some luck. If it weren't for luck, if Liu Bei's main force retreated, I am afraid that I would be in danger. ”
After saying that, Cao Ang left.
Cao Ang laughed: "You underestimate Liu Xuande too much!" ”
He returned to Yanzhou, found Xun Yu, and told him that he had successfully occupied Nancheng.
Cao Ang said: "Liu Bei is so cunning and ruthless, he will definitely deploy heavy troops to prevent us from snatching grain and grass."
On the other side, Cao Ang stayed in Nancheng for four full days before leaving Nancheng.
Cao Ang smiled: "I guess! ”
The shopkeeper touched the cold sweat on his forehead and muttered, "This guy is not simple!" ”
Xun Yu was stunned: "Is there still fraud?" ”
Before leaving, Cao Ang suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "By the way, I remember that there are still a lot of grain and grass hoarded in the granary in Nancheng, right?" ”
The rich merchants and powerful people in Nancheng City have been looted by him, and Cao Ang has gained a lot.
During this period, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan both felt extremely aggrieved, they were top generals, and they were actually reduced to the duties of bodyguards.
"Huh? How did Childe know? The shopkeeper was surprised that there was indeed a lot of grain stored in the granary, not only grain, but also a lot of vegetables, grains, oils and other materials, which could be described as a mountain.
As soon as Cao Ang got the things, he immediately asked someone to carry the wine onto the carriage.
After Cao Ang got the information he wanted, he continued to the next target.
"By the way, lord, Liu Bei left a lot of grain and grass behind when he retreated, should we grab a wave?" Xun Yu suddenly thought of this stubble.
Although he said so, Cao Ang still paid the bill. After all, he took the initiative to buy wine, and he didn't say that he wanted to pay on credit.
Xun Yu nodded approvingly: "No matter what, the lord can be regarded as taking back a lot this time!" ”
Cao Ang glared at the shopkeeper angrily: "Hmph, it's really a profiteer." ”
Cao Ang walked around the city of Nancheng, and even robbed the rich merchants and giants of Nancheng. However, due to the escort of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, he also escaped smoothly.
Xun Yu was excited: "The lord is mighty!" ”
Although he must have left behind a large amount of grain and grass, we rushed forward rashly, and it was easy to be ambushed, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”
Xun Yu suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”
Cao Ang said: "But we might as well take advantage of the night to sneak attack Liu Bei's military camp, if we can catch Liu Bei, it will be even better." ”
Xun Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since the lord has this Yaxing, the minister obeys the order!" ”
Cao Ang prepared all his bags and left Yanzhou with Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and the others.
They went out day and night, all the way north to kill Liu Bei's military camp.
Because the road was slippery in the dark and the distance was long, there was a lot of delay along the way.
When they arrived near Liu Bei's military camp, they found that Liu Bei's tent was brightly lit, and a banquet was obviously being held.
Cao Ang frowned slightly when he saw this: "I don't know if it's a Hongmen banquet prepared for us!" ”
Xiahou Yuan sneered: "The more Liu Bei does this, the more I like it." ”
Xun Yu also agreed: "I suggest that we should be careful, and we can also use the same method to lure them, and then ambush them." ”
Cao Ang groaned for a while: "It's not proper! Liu Bei is cunning and changeable, we may not be able to eat him, so let's secretly investigate it first. ”
Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to agree to Cao Ang's suggestion.
Cao Ang and the others hid in the dark and observed for half an hour, but as a result, Liu Bei's army was heavily guarded and there was no loophole at all.
Xiahou Yuan said in a low voice: "Lord, it seems that we want to ambush Liu Bei, it's not realistic!" ”
Cao Ang's face was cloudy.
He could also see that Liu Bei's camp was heavily guarded, and it was very difficult for the group of people under his command to get close to Liu Bei's base camp unknowingly.
"Lord, there is a way for your subordinates!" Xun Yu said suddenly.
"Oh, tell me about it!" Cao Ang hurriedly said.
Xun Yu said: "Tonight, my subordinates personally took action to lure Liu Beijun's soldiers.
As long as a subordinate shows up, Liu Bei will inevitably send someone to hunt down and kill his subordinates.
When the time comes, the lord can take advantage of the chaos to get in and burn down the granary! ”
Cao Ang was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect Xun Yu to have such brave and invincible courage.
But after thinking about it, Cao Ang felt that this matter was quite risky, although Xun Yu was brave and invincible, he couldn't stand Liu Bei's army.
In case there are many masters in Liu Bei's army, or Liu Bei personally leads people to surround him, I am afraid that Xun Yu will be more auspicious.
So Cao Ang persuaded: "Wen Ruo, this matter is about life, you better think about it carefully." ”
Xun Yu insisted: "Please rest assured, there will be no danger to your subordinates!" ”
Cao Ang sighed, knowing Xun Yu's temper, dissuasion was ineffective, so he agreed: "Okay then." But be safe! ”
"Subordinates remember!" Xun Yu arched his hand and said.
Subsequently, Xun Yu left the army and went to Liu Bei's camp with a group of elite teams.
Xun Yu quietly approached the camp.
At this time, Liu Bei's base camp was brilliantly lit, and the soldiers were staggered, talking and laughing.
Liu Bei sat in the first place, looking complacent. He was accompanied by several beautiful women.
And everyone is wearing a tulle skirt, and a piece of white flowers is exposed on the chest, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Everyone, this glass of wine, a certain respect!" Liu Bei raised the wine bottle and signaled to everyone.
"Duke Xie Xuande!" Everyone stood up and complimented Liu Bei.
Liu Bei laughed and raised his head to drink the wine in his cup.
After drinking this glass of wine, Liu Bei suddenly said: "Today, I, Liu Bei, with the help of all the monarchs, successfully broke through Wancheng. Thank you for your hard work! ”
Everyone praised Liu Bei's wisdom and martial arts.
Just as Liu Bei was enjoying everyone's praise, a hurried shout suddenly came.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
"Archers ready, shoot them for me!"
In an instant, all kinds of roars and roars resounded in the sky, and the entire camp fell into chaos. (End of chapter)
