"Lord, there is a person who claims to be the captain of the cavalry under the command of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and there are 100,000 urgent matters to be submitted to the lord, and the last general will not dare to hinder him, so he has come to ask the lord to publicize it." In the territory of Nanyang, Yuzhou, Cao Ying, who was in high spirits and pursued Yuan Shu's rank when Yanzhou was empty, was discussing the strategy of Yuzhou with Cheng Yu and Xun You, who was newly recommended by Xi Zhicai, and was preparing to take Yuzhou into the pocket of Yuzhou after the Yellow Turban had been entrenched for several years in one fell swoop, but suddenly heard Cao Ren, who was able to guard the camp and patrol the night, report that someone from Xuzhou wanted to see Cao Ying.

"Xuzhou Tao Qian? 100,000 urgent? Cao Ying stretched his waist comfortably, rubbed his faintly aching head, and chuckled: "I got a report before, this Tao Qian is quite incompetent, holding tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers, and he was disturbed by the thousands of people who were entangled in Kan Xuan, and even went down to the East China Sea, Pengcheng counties and counties, and later even the Xuzhou Yellow Turban saw that it could be bullied, and they all looked at it, and Tao Qian was anxious, and he sent a letter of help to a certain person before, maybe he came to ask for help again, right?" ”

"Xuzhou has elite soldiers but no generals, these tens of thousands of elite palms in the world are in the hands of Tao Gongzu, it is not as good as thousands of rabble, it seems that the name of this Danyang elite soldier will be ruined in Tao Qian's hands sooner or later!" Cheng Yu said with a smile, since there were many defeats in the war with Qingzhou, Cao Ying's attitude towards Cheng Yu has not changed in the slightest, and he still looks at heart, which makes Cheng Yu inexplicably grateful to Cao Ying. Hearing the news of the people from Xuzhou this time, Cheng Yu smiled and said to Cao Ying: "I think if the lord has leisure, he might as well see him, but I only need to say that we are now weak and unable to help in time due to the war in Yuzhou, so after all, there are still tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers in Xuzhou, and the lord wants to get Yu, Xu and other places, and the resistance is always as small as possible, isn't it?" However, I am waiting for the situation to be able to open up the situation so smoothly in Yuzhou, to a considerable extent, thanks to the Xuzhou Yellow Turban who was besieged by several counties under the rule of Lian Po Tao Gongzu, otherwise since the fall of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, the Xuzhou Yuzhou Yellow Turban will definitely bring inconvenience to our actions. Therefore, Xuzhou must not be helped, and it cannot be rushed! ”

"Zhongde's words are reasonable, but what about Gongda's meaning?" Cao Ying's smiling Chong Cheng Yu nodded, quite agreeing with Cheng Yu's words, after the failure of the Qingzhou strategy, Cao Ying's strong man broke his wrist, and immediately lowered his posture decisively, in the name of his eldest son to study in the domestic Confucian Cai Yong, Cao Ang, the heir of Yanzhou, was sent to Linzi, called to study, but it was actually a proton, in order to be worry-free on the battlefield in Yuzhou. As long as Yuzhou is flat, Xuzhou will be the next target. This incident can just weaken Xuzhou's combat power on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can provide an excellent excuse for entering Xuzhou in the future, so Cao Ying was in a very good mood, and looked at Xun Yu, who was handsome and handsome next to him, and asked Cao Ying.

"I agree with Zhong Degong's suggestion that Xuzhou must help, but not urgently. If you turn a blind eye to the Yellow Turban in Xuzhou, it will damage the prestige of the Lord to some extent, which is really not beautiful; But Xuzhou Tao Qian is old, and the two sons are not successful, this rich state with a large number of Han will be coveted, and there are tens of thousands of Danyang elite soldiers for it, and it is easy not to force it. Slowly, the best way is to reap the profits. Xun You is not as rigid as his nephew Xun Yu, and his wisdom is superb but not rigid, so Cheng Yu's opinion is quite in line with Xun Yu's appetite, and he said: "But since Xuzhou is here, and there is something important to tell you, it is better for the lord to see him." After all, in the border of Xuzhou, in addition to my Yanzhou and Yuzhou, there are also Yangzhou Liu Xuan and ...... Qingzhou Lu Bu! ”

"Hiss ......" now Cao Ying seems to have Qingzhou syndrome, although he has reached a reconciliation with Qingzhou on the surface, and also sent Cao Ang Zhang Miao over, but after all, Lu Bu's previous surname has been demonized, Cao Ying also has to bear a mind, the news from Qingzhou, usually every three days, priority over the intelligence of other states and counties, because of the march problem in wartime, changed to five days to read, but also from time to time to ask. Even when people mention the name of Qingzhou or Lu Bu coldly, they will always think that it is unfavorable news from Qingzhou, and they often pour cold air and cold lips and teeth. However, the meaning of Xun You's words this time has long been something that Cao Ying has been worried about for a long time. Although it is doubtful whether it is from the perspective of intelligence or common sense is the analysis of Lu Bu's surname, Qingzhou has just recovered the whole territory, the people's hearts are unstable, the officials are unconvinced, and it is said that when the undercurrent is surging, it is indeed inappropriate and there will be no major military action. After all, the number of Lu Bu's elite soldiers is numerous. Although he has twice incorporated nearly a million yellow turban men and women, Cao Ying, who has dealt with the yellow scarves and has been paying attention to them, does not think that the so-called million yellow turbans have much combat power. Even if it is the so-called young and strong, it will not be a group of civilians who put down their hoes and picked up sticks, and if they do not have a long-term process of training and seeing blood, they will have no other use than to lower the combat power of Lu Bu's army out of thin air, and they will not be worried.

It's just that this land of Xuzhou is just as Xu You said, although there are also yellow turbans to make trouble, but under Tao Qian's governance, it is indeed quite rich, and it is indeed a place that Cao Ying has coveted for a long time, how can he allow others to get involved? In the south, Liu Miao of Yangzhou can't protect himself, so he can't worry about it; Qingzhou Lu Bu in the north is limited by its own defects, and there has always been some friction between Qingxu, and he will not interfere if he wants to, it is simply a great opportunity for us Lao Cao, only need an excuse, the land of Xuzhou is as easy as a hand!

"That's it, although it's getting late, since I'm stuck in the war in Yuzhou and can't help Xuzhou eastward, it's good to comfort and motivate me!" Cao Ying made up his mind and smiled at Cao Ren, who was waiting on the side: "Zixiao, let's pass on the person who claims to be Xuzhou to come to the tent to meet him." Gongda, Zhongde, you two also listen to what people say, and by the way, help someone play the side drum! ”

"No!" Cao Ren took the order and left, and after a while, he brought the person who claimed to be the commander of the Xuzhou cavalry into the camp.

"The former commander of Xuzhou Mu, Zhang Min, a native of Taishan, worshiped General Yanzhou Mucao!" The person who came was dressed in shabby clothes, and there was faint blood oozing out of his shoulders, and he was extremely embarrassed, and after seeing Cao Ying, he bowed to the ground without saying a word, and shouted with a sad voice: "Please mourn General Cao's Day!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Ying was also confused by the words of Zhang Min, who claimed to be the captain of the cavalry, and the word "original" in Zhang Min's words shows that this person is no longer a general under Tao Qian, could it be that Picheng, the seat of Xuzhou Zhizhi, was broken by the Xuzhou Yellow Turban, and Tao Qian was already dead? Unlikely, right? Even if Tao Qian is incompetent, after all, he was also a handsome man back then, and when Cao Ying was just starting out, he had already been appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou, and he guarded the side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and there were still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Danyang, could it be that there were other variables, so that Xiapi City, which could not be defeated quickly no matter how speculated, was broken by the thousands of rebels and the Yellow Turban Alliance? In addition, Zhang Min actually let himself mourn, what is the purpose?

"Presumptuous! That's all you say? After all, Cao Ying is a person who is extremely deep in the city, even if Zhang Min said strange words, it only made Cao Ying's eyes flash, and his face remained unchanged and asked in a deep voice.

"I don't dare to speak out against General Cao Huwei, but there is one thing I want to ask, General Cao still has an old father in Jiao County, and he recently wrote to General Cao to Yanzhou?" Seeing that Cao Ying was not moved by what he had just said, Zhang Min rolled his eyes and asked loudly.

"What? How did you find out about this? Before Cao Ying could speak, Cao Ren, who was standing on the side, was taken aback at first, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Min's collar, and asked angrily. You know, Cao Ren is the brother of Cao Ying, and such secret things have not been concealed from him, since Cao Ying led the Yanzhou Mu, especially after reaching a reconciliation with Lu Bu in Qingzhou, he was worried that his old father in Peiguo Jiao County, Yuzhou would be disturbed by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and indeed wrote a letter, just before, Cao Ying also privately said to Cao Ren that he was about to return to his ancestral land, and he could pick up his old father who had not yet traveled to Yanzhou by the way. Therefore, Cao Ren knows the truth of this matter. It's just that Cao Ren is a little suspicious and angry, how can the original Xuzhou general know about such a secret thing? But no matter what, it will definitely not be the old lady of the Cao family, Cao Song, who has nothing to do.

"General Cao's Day is mourning! The old man is already, already ...... Alas......" Zhang Min burst into tears, with good acting skills, and said in a condensed voice.

"What? What kind of person is this person, who curses the boss like this, Zixiao, and pushes it out and beheads it! After Cao Ying heard Zhang Min's words, he was stunned, and his eyes flashed with anger, but he was not as emotional as Cao Ren, his face sank, and he shouted.

"General Cao knows this!" Zhang Min saw that Cao Ying didn't seem to believe what he said at all, and he was also anxious, in addition to Cao Ying, the "victim", who else in the Han world could avenge himself? At the moment, he couldn't care about all the tricks he had thought about before, and Cao Ying picked himself out, and hurriedly took out half of the jade that was cherished by Zhang Min during this period of time. If Qin Xu was present, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the other half of the jade that Qin Xu used to deduce the identity of the old man on the waist of the seriously injured old man?

"Huh? Where did this jade come from, you recruited it from the truth, and you will not die. Cao Ying's face became more and more calm, his lips were tightly pursed, his narrow eyes were narrowed, and his tone became more and more flat.

"General Cao! Don't dare to hide it from General Cao. When he was young, he was coerced to join the Yellow Turban Thief, and after being recruited by Tao Qian, the old thief was sent to his eldest son as a cavalry captain, and he wanted to reform and serve the Han Dynasty! Zhang Min said that he had already made up his own origins, and said with sadness and indignation: "However, the old thief of Tao Qian, although he is a gentleman, he is loyal to the country on the surface, and shepherds one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but secretly he has been doing the self-respecting plan of raising thieves and turning Xuzhou into his Tao Qian's things. Because he had made a big mistake and stooped to serve the thief, he was coerced by the old man Tao Qian to do more unrighteous things for him. And his eldest son, the potter, was even more willing to rob the way, and tried every means to dissuade him, but he was not accepted by him many times, but ridiculed him as a thief in the next day, and it was difficult to wash it for life. It is difficult to have ambitions under the road, hindering the strength of the Tao family father and son, so they have to bend down to serve. Just seven or eight days ago, Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Qian, regardless of the rebellion, Xuzhou Yellow Turban had the idea of Jing Cong, and Yuzhou Yellow Turban also had the intention of mixing and kicking, and even laughed that this is the time to take advantage of the chaos to get some benefits! Then he forcibly ordered the city to be opened, disguised as a rebel on the road to Langya on the outskirts of Xiapi City, and plundered a team of people who looked like everyone was traveling. It was to persuade God to have the virtue of a good life, so he only took the property, but the potter was so mad that he killed more than 40 members of his family, and the old man in the car died at the hands of the potter! This time, we robbed gold, silver, coins, pearls and jade, etc., with a value of more than 100 million, and when we saw that the old man had an extraordinary face, I secretly hid this half of the jade as evidence. Unexpectedly, after the potter inadvertently found a letter from the old man, he learned that this letter turned out to be a letter from General Cao to the old man! We were all in a state of shock, and we couldn't stop in panic. But the potter actually killed more than 20 people under his command, and finally wanted to kill the general with him. Fortunately, when he was young and frivolous, he also wandered in the market, and he understood some small tricks to confuse people, so he barely escaped with his surname and desperately came to sue General Cao! General Cao, please! ”

"Hmm! ......" Cao Ying's face was extremely painful, but he was silent according to the case, after all, this is Cao Ying's family feud, Xun You and Cheng Yu are outsiders no matter how wise they are, seeing that Cao Ying did not move after hearing this, he was wondering, or Cao Ren saw the abnormality, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Ying, who was holding his body. Xun You and Cheng Yu also saw that something was wrong, so they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.

"A certain wind has committed! Not! Temporarily put this person down and distinguish the truth of his words......" Cao Ying struggled and commanded, and then fainted to the ground! (To be continued.) )
