Chapter 634: Ten days of expedition will eventually meet the division
Cao Cao stayed around Xudu for a day to deal with this matter. According to her: "If this matter is not handled well, then how can I go out to fight with peace of mind?!" ”
Xu Sheng, Lu Qian, He Qi and Zhu Ling divided into four routes, directly swept several mountains around Xudu, and in almost less than an hour, they easily broke through the thief cottage, eliminating a total of 3,000 thieves and capturing thousands.
"On the periphery of Xu Du, there are so many thieves lurking unconsciously...... Cao Cao was speechless, this is still a place to the east, and several other directions have not been able to sweep over, God knows how many ambushes have been laid.
"Lord......" Wang Yong looked at her with an angry look and had to stand up, "Not far to the west is Yingyin, and there is almost no mountain to hide." To the south is Runan County, and if there is a problem, Gongda will also send someone to inform it; As for ...... to the north"
"I know that they are all in our sphere of influence, whether it is Zhongde or Gongda, I am very relieved of their ability. But why are there still so many thieves lurking around Xu Du even though they are in the rear, this is something I can't tolerate! Cao Cao clenched his fists.
"Lord, I've asked!" Zhu Ling came over at this time, "For example, the cottage of Zhoucang, mainly in Xuzhou, was driven to the border by Lu Bu, and then dispersed by General Xiahou, and finally gathered one after another in Chen State, and then it flowed around Xu County, which is understandable...... But a few other cottages, whose leaders ......"
"Honestly!" Cao Cao soon realized that something didn't seem right.
"The leaders are all Wenchen generals who defected to Liu Bei before, and many people saw that Liu Bei couldn't succeed on the road, so they left quietly, and in the end, they didn't get entangled, and they fell into the grass. Some of them learned that Liu Bei was going to be the commander of the Yuzhou Army, and they also sneaked away, and they didn't know where to gather and coerce a group of homeless people, so they fell into the grass. Zhu Ling replied.
That being said, this is only a superficial answer from these people. Dig deeper, then things won't be simple.
Liu Bei came at the end of the year, but Cao Cao was assassinated at the beginning of the year. Coupled with the fact that these people are here to fall into the grass, these coincidences add up, and it doesn't feel like a coincidence.
"Too much deception!" Cao Cao burst into a snort, then gasped for breath, "Okay, that's it!" The thieves were all put to death, and the accomplices were sentenced to three years of labor to atone for their crimes, whether they were forced or voluntarily fell into the grass! If there is a major evil deed, ask and behead it directly, and there is no need for another investigation! ”
"Yes!" Seeing that Cao Cao was so angry, Zhu Ling didn't ask, and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Cao Cao was very angry, in fact, everyone could see it, but except for Wang Yong and Guo Jia, no one knew why Cao Cao was really angry. It is estimated that these thieves were all arranged by a certain organization, and if it weren't for Zhou Cang, it is estimated that they would not have been exposed.
This group of people cooperated with Liu Bei in the autumn of Xu Tian to besiege the city, and after the edict of the cloth belt, Liu Bei left Cao Cao's command, and then during this period, there were thousands of men and horses immediately, and when the time came, it was good to counterattack Xu Du, go back to Xuzhou and drive the chariot away according to history, everything can run according to the original 'trajectory' of history.
Guo Jia glanced at Wang Yong, who nodded, and then walked in. The others could only watch silently, knowing that the relationship between the two was good, and it was estimated that he could only persuade Cao Cao now. It's just that Sima Yi is a little unhappy, unwilling or unwilling, envious, jealous and hateful, at this moment, he is also clenching his fists.
"Damn it!" In the tent, Cao Cao's anger was obviously still in a state of catharsis.
"Lord, look at the move!" Wang Yong immediately rushed over, and a hungry tiger pounced, and then turned into a black tiger to dig out his heart.
"Boy, what are you going to do?!" Seeing this, Cao Cao suddenly roared, kicked him down directly, and then stepped on it fiercely. As a result, when I came back to my senses, someone was already holding his head and curled up in a ball.
"It's really ......" Cao Cao was speechless, she could see that this guy was here to find a beating. But then again, after the beating, the whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, at least the unhappiness and dissatisfaction in my heart were reduced by more than half.
"Comfortable?" Wang Yong asked jokingly, he avoided the key point just now, although he was hit several times, but he was not a threat. Sometimes I really wonder if I am stronger again, and if I continue, I guess the head of the gun will not be able to poke in.
"I'm just dissatisfied!" Cao Cao sighed, "Why are they ......?"
"If they arranged it, then fine!" Wang Yong shook his head, "If you just guide some casually and cause such a result, then it is the most terrifying." In fact, you should also know that our enemy is so strong, and if we want to deal with it, we can deal with it unless we completely change the trajectory of history, and then unite from top to bottom and force it out in the shadows. ”
In fact, this can't be dealt with, but at least it can make the house of everything fall apart and remove the organization that is on the surface.
"Yes, we must hurry up and unify the world!" Cao Cao nodded, "We can't delay here anymore!" ”
This feeling that everything is arranged by others, and her own fate is not even under her own control, is what she hates the most, hates the most, and hates the most! But she found that she was not only in such a situation, but the key was that she had to tolerate it and bear it silently!
"Lord...... It's already afternoon, and it's too late to leave! Wang Yong reminded, "I originally prepared egg fried rice tonight, but you are so angry now...... How about an egg porridge? ”
"Just egg porridge?" Cao Cao was obviously not satisfied, "It's a little side dish or something......
"Then how about adding a plate of dried radish and stir-fried bacon?" Wang Yong thought for a while, "Do you want to add more flowers and chickens?" ”
"Don't say it, I'm hungry." Cao Cao thought about it and found that he was really hungry, "Go and prepare!" ”
"Okay, my lord, wait a minute!" Seeing this, Wang Yong was also a little relieved, and then said goodbye and left.
"That's right!" When he was about to go out, Cao Cao shouted, "Don't use this trick next time, just tell me well." I can control myself...... Probably. ”
"The subordinates obey the order,......" Wang Yong replied politely, and then officially left. He didn't know that after he left, Cao Cao regained his solemn expression and began to think.
He came out of Cao Cao's tent, and the others anxiously gathered around, who smiled and nodded, and then left. Looking at him covered in mud, Xu Shu was a little distressed, Cai Yan and Wen Ming were not surprised, and the others showed knowing smiles.
The next day, Cao Cao announced that he was advancing at full speed, but at a speed of 100 miles a day, and the vanguard army had to be responsible for scouting the surroundings to make sure there were no similar 'hidden dangers'.
It took almost seven or eight days to arrive in Qiaoxian County, which was about three days slower than expected.
"Subordinates see generals!" Liu Bei, the commander of the Yuzhou Army, led his subordinates and stepped forward to welcome Cao Cao's arrival. Liu Bei was the leader, followed by Guan Yu, Lu Su and Yu Ban, and Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and Cao Chun again. There are also many generals and lieutenants who have been promoted, so I will not introduce them one by one.
"I'm a little late, so I've kept you waiting!" Cao Cao, dressed in armor, smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
