As soon as Dian Wei's words were finished, Cao Cao was immediately excited.

He was still discussing with Xun You about the candidate who was sent to attack the pottery merchant at night and find out the other party's hypocrisy, and now this Liu Bei jumped out all of a sudden.

This is tantamount to being sent out of thin air.

After thinking about it carefully, this big-headed tall and fat and thin man is just right.

"Please come in, General Liu."

Dian Wei took the order and left, but when he was young, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei entered Cao Cao's handsome tent.

"Xuande Gong!" Cao Cao stepped forward with a smile and shook Liu Bei's hand, and said, "Why did you come so late?" ”

Liu Bei was a little stunned when he saw this, he didn't expect Cao Cao to treat him so enthusiastically.

But the stunned was only for a moment, but he saw Liu Bei's face showing his usual spring breeze-like smile: "I am busy with military affairs, so I didn't come to see Cao Sikong early, please don't blame Sikong." ”

"Where did Xuande Gong say, come! Sit! ”

Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to sit down on the side, opposite Xun You, while he sat in the main seat, and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei.

"Xuande Gong, I don't know what I am doing when I come here this time?"

Liu Bei arched his hand at Cao Cao, and said: "Brother Jingsheng is the leader of the alliance, there are a lot of chores, and now there is no good idea for the strategy of how to attack the pottery, but he doesn't have a good idea for a while. ”

Cao Cao touched the beard on his chin and said, "According to the Xuande Gong, how should we deal with the potter?" ”

Liu Bei sighed, his expression showed a hint of loneliness, and said: "I can't hide it, I have been thinking about it for several days, but I don't have any particularly good strategy, so I came to ask Sikong for advice in a daze." ”

Cao Cao was ecstatic in his heart, but he also showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "The potters are not short of money, iron tools, soldiers, or grain...... But it is extremely difficult to deal with, and it is extremely difficult to defeat the potter head-on if he wants to defeat the potter head-on. ”

Liu Bei sighed when he heard this: "Listening to Sikong's words, is there really no way?" ”

"There is a way, but I don't know if it can be done." Cao Cao said slowly.

"What's the solution?"

"Out of food!"

"Out of food?" Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

Cao Cao stood up and pointed at the pitu behind him: "The pottery merchant under the command of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, the daily consumption is huge, from the rear to Qufu transport, I think it may not be able to meet his daily military needs of these soldiers, he must have arranged a huge granary near here that can store a large amount of grain, as long as we can find out this place and burn it, then the pottery merchant army will be in chaos without a fight, and when the time comes, it will be the best opportunity for us to conquer the pottery camp." ”

Liu Bei stroked his beautiful beard and nodded while listening: "Cao Sikong's words are very good, but where is the pottery merchant's grain storage, but we can't find out now, so what can we do?" ”

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Cao thought about it, but only Xuande Gong could complete this matter for our coalition army." ”

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, but listened to him: "If you want to find out where the potters are stockpiling grain, only a night attack can find out the clues." ”

"Night raid?" Liu Bei frowned and said, "Why can a night raid find out where the potter's grain is stored?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "As long as we send people to attack the potter's camps, the potter's defense, the first thought must be to focus on protecting the safety of the grain store, he will definitely prepare troops and horses from Qufu, and secretly send to the grain store to help defend against attack, but if he really does this, it is actually exposing the location of his grain store, the world knows that the personnel of the school office under the potter's command are good at investigating, but they don't know that Cao's eagle snake man's investigation skills are not inferior to him, as long as the potter makes a slight move, The Eagle and Snake Mansion will definitely find out the truth. ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said, "Listening to Cao Sikong's words, do you want to hand over this matter to Beilai?" ”

Cao Cao laughed: "The opponent is a potter, and the one who does this must be a wise and brave general, in Cao's view, among all people, only Xuande Gong can be competent in this matter, and others are afraid that they will not be able to let the potters show their flaws." ”

If Cao Cao's words were used on others, he might have been fooled, but the person he was fooling now was Liu Bei...... A person who is the best at fooling others, where can he be easily fooled by others?

He pondered carefully for a while, and then said, "This matter is very important, and let Bei go back and discuss it with Brother Jingsheng." ”

Cao Cao smiled and nodded: "This is a big matter, and it is right for Xuande Gong to be cautious." ”

Liu Bei immediately got up to say goodbye to Cao Cao, and not long after his figure disappeared outside the handsome tent, he saw Xun You and asked Cao Cao: "This person, will he really go?" ”

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead lightly and said with a smile: "He will definitely go." ”

"Liu Bei seems to be quite shrewd, Ming Gong wants to use his ideas, he may not be able to see it."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "What if you see it?" If he sees it, he will definitely do it. ”

Xun Yu arched his hand: "Please also ask Ming Gong to explain one or two." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Liu Bei, on the surface, is a sincere gentleman, but in fact he is an ambitious figure, should you be willing to live under Liu Biao all the time?" The year before last, the crusade against Zhang Xian in Jingnan, the Eagle Snake Warrior brought back the news that this person was recruiting people's hearts in Jingnan and Jingzhou Army, erecting kindness everywhere, and popularizing people's hearts, which was really a wolf's behavior...... He won't let go of this opportunity, even if Cao is using him. ”

Xun You said with emotion when he heard this: "When it comes to the ability to recognize people, we are really far from being commonplace. ”

Cao Cao sat down slowly and said, "Now, we will slowly wait for Liu Bei and Liu Biao's letter." ”

……

After Liu Bei went back and thought about it carefully, he immediately made up his mind and went to meet Liu Biao, expressing his idea of stealing the camp.

Liu Biao was very surprised and said: "The pottery merchant's camp is not idle, and the virtuous brother's move is quite risky." ”

Liu Bei said to Liu Biao: "Although my move is risky, if I can use this method to find out the place where the Ming pottery merchant is stockpiling, I will die, but I will also die." ”

When Liu Bei said this, his expression was extremely sad, and his tears were falling, which made people couldn't help but be moved.

Seeing Liu Bei like this, Liu Biao immediately sighed and said: "Since this is the case, you choose some of the generals you want to do this, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it doesn't matter if the sneak attack is successful or not, but you want to come back safely." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly saluted Cousin Liu and said, "Be sure to remember my brother's words...... Then I will choose the captain Wei Yan, and the general of Zhenbei will be hired as a supplement, and I will also ask my brother to agree. ”

Liu Biao didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei immediately walked out of the tent and went to order troops, but he didn't go far away, but he heard someone behind him call him: "General Zuo, wait a minute." ”

Liu Bei turned his head to look, but it was Pang Tong who chased him out of the tent.
