Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

"?"

Cao Pi frowned suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "Ziheshu, we are acting secretly this time, why did these people hear the news so quickly and came to intercede for the Huan army, but what happened?" Omissions?"

"Where do you need any omissions?"

Cao Chun shook his head and said, "These people have lived in Chenliu for many years, and their roots have long been deeply rooted. Although you and I acted secretly, we also brought hundreds of soldiers with us. This is equivalent to 300 taels of silver here. How can we escape Their eyes?"

"What Zi and Uncle said is very true."

Cao Pi nodded thoughtfully.

"However, I never thought that they would rush over, and your father probably didn't think of it either, otherwise, he wouldn't have left this matter to you alone when he went to Guandu to supervise the battle."

Cao Chun said again.

"Why is that?"

Cao Pi said thoughtfully, as if he had already thought of something, but he still chose to ask for advice humbly.

"These people have been in the officialdom and the gentry for many years, and they have already become old foxes who adapt to the wind. Even if they don't belong to the old fox, there must be an old fox sitting in the house, and their sense of danger is more sensitive than dogs."

Cao Chun continued, "So if we are really just a routine inspection, it would make sense for them to come here to sell favors and pretend to be familiar, but we have brought hundreds of soldiers, they must have sensed the danger, and even knew in their hearts It's exactly what your father wanted, but it's very unusual to rush over under such circumstances."

"Zi and uncle mean that my brother-in-law has bought them?"

Cao Pi asked knowingly.

Cao Chun said intently: "And it's not an ordinary bribe. They are undoubtedly tying their official career and life to your brother-in-law. They would rather stand on the opposite side of your father than keep the Huan army. The only thing I can think of that can make you The possibility that these people can do this is that they have the confidence to hold your brother-in-law, so they will react so abnormally."

"My brother-in-law is secretly forming a clique behind my father's back, he should be punished!"

Cao Pi showed anger, gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's true that he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. He never participates in wars and political affairs on weekdays, and he doesn't show the slightest desire for official power. It turns out that he is pretending. If this matter teaches my father I know, I don't know how disappointed I should be!"

"In short, let's let this matter go for now."

Cao Chun smiled wryly and said, "Now that the war is imminent and your father is not in Chenliu, if these people are determined to protect the army and you and I insist on going our own way, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in the end. No one benefits."

"However, as far as I can see, these people came here definitely not to care about the Huan army, after all, they are still selling your brother-in-law's face."

"So the crux of this matter is still your brother-in-law. If you want to resolve this matter smoothly, you still cannot get past him... You don't have to worry. I will use Fei Nu to report today's matter to your father truthfully later. The matter is beyond your and my ability, you must wait for your brother-in-law to come back and let your father handle it himself, he will never blame you."

In terms of force, Cao Chun, who leads Cao Ying's most elite combat power, has no confidence.

In terms of momentum, Cheng Yu, Zhu Lu, Wang Qing...these three together make Boss Cao have to be worried, especially now that the war is tense, Boss Cao undoubtedly needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds, let alone Said Cao Chun and Cao Pi two people.

...

"I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have such energy. I really underestimated him before..."

Cao Pi also sighed self-deprecatingly when he heard the words.

between speeches.

Cheng Yu and Zhu Lu had already come close.

The two of them had obviously passed through on the road. Cheng Yu, as a veteran nearly [-] years old, took the lead to salute Cao Pi and Cao Chun, and said with a smile: "I have seen Mr. Cao, I have seen General Cao, and I have heard about Cao Chun. Young Master and General Cao led people to Yongqiu early in the morning, but what happened? In fact, even if something happens, you don’t need Young Master Cao and General Cao to deal with it personally, you just need to send someone to inform the old man, and the old man will deal with it on your behalf.”

"I met Mr. Cao, I met General Cao."

Cheng Yu had already finished what he was supposed to say, so Zhu Lu didn't say much, but just stepped forward and gave a salute.

Unlike Cheng Yu and Wang Qing, Zhu Lu came here this time with a lot of resistance, the biggest resistance coming from his father Zhu Xun.

After Zhu Xun learned of this, he immediately realized that Boss Cao might want to do something to Huan Renjun, although he didn't know what Huan Renjun usually does, so he didn't know what Boss Cao was thinking about this move. , but it is very clear that rashly getting involved in this matter at this moment is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Boss Cao. If it is not done well, it will not only be a matter of losing his official position, but it may directly exterminate the family.

Therefore, he resolutely opposed Zhulu's coming to help, and mobilized Zhulu's biological mother and elders to stop it together.

But who is Zhu Lu? He is a well-known stubborn guy from all over the world. Wei forcibly dispersed his father, mother and elders and rushed out of the house.

Before going out, his mother was still sitting on the ground and crying.

Although Zhu Lu couldn't bear it, he thought that Wu Liang, a noble man and brother, gave him what he is today. Now that the Huan army may be in trouble, if he just sits and ignores him, he will be like a pig and dog. How will he face Wu Liang in the future? With such a heart, he rode his horse and rushed out of the city gate, just in time to meet Cheng Yu who was also rushing out of the city to Yongqiu.

Before this, Zhu Lu was actually a little apprehensive.

But after seeing Cheng Yu, his heart immediately settled down a lot... The sky fell and there was a tall man to support him. Even though he, a cheap Zhonglang general, was still above Cheng Yu, in Zhu Lu's heart, Cheng Yu was still the same. Even the tall guy, he is an old man who has passed his ears, and he dares to stand up for the Huren army, so why should I be afraid?

"General Zhu, Cheng Taishou, it's not really a big deal. It's just a routine inspection under the order of Duke Ming, so I didn't bother you."

Cao Chun still returned the gift, and said lightly.

"So it is."

Cheng Yu also smiled, but looked at the Juma standing at the gate of the Huan army's garrison, and the heads of the Tuan army officers and soldiers hiding behind the wall, which pot was not open, lifted the pot, and asked with a frown. He said, "This...Young Master Cao, General Cao, just look at this posture, is there any misunderstanding?"

"?"

Cao Pi and Cao Chun were suspicious when they heard the words, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Didn't this old guy come to intercede for the Huan army?

If you come to intercede, shouldn't you try to downplay the conflict between the two sides, and then give them enough face, so that the two of them can withdraw with the trend, why deliberately bring up the conflict between the two sides?

...

Didn't he actually come to plead for mercy?

Seeing that Cao Pi and Cao Chun were hesitant, Cheng Yu stopped questioning them, and turned to look at Yin Jian, who was standing behind the horse with a guarded face, and said in a stern tone: "Yin Junhou, do you know What are the identities of the two generals in front of you?"

Yin Jian also didn't understand what Cheng Yu meant, but he could only reply politely: "If you go back to Cheng Taishou, the two generals have reported their families, one is the second son of Ming Gong, and the other is the captain under Ming Gong's command. General Cao."

"Since you know their identities, but it's difficult to cooperate with the two generals to supervise, what is your intention? Do you want to harm Yong Qiuhou!"

Cheng Yu reprimanded sharply.

"The end will not dare."

Yin Jian said he didn't dare, but he still replied very stubbornly, "The last general also acted in accordance with the regulations. The two generals came to supervise this time. This is really not in accordance with the rules. The general will be entrusted by Yongqiuhou to guard the garrison of the Huren army. If he does not follow the rules, he will be dereliction of duty. Please, prefect Cheng and the two generals don't make things difficult for the last general..."

"presumptuous!"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yu suddenly interrupted him with a yell, and cursed, "You kid is so ignorant, and you don't even think about who Yongqiu is now!"

"Yugong, General Wu is the Marquis of Yongqiu who was conferred by Duke Ming, and he is also in charge of the Liren army on behalf of Duke Ming. Duke Ming sent the second son and General Cao to supervise. How is that different from Duke Ming personally coming to supervise the inspection?" , Is it true that Duke Ming needs to submit an edict in advance when he comes to inspect his army?"

"If you stop them now, you are stopping Ming Gong. This is a capital crime committed by the next generation. You are so brave!"

"Privately, General Wu is now the son-in-law of Duke Ming, so the second son is General Wu's brother-in-law, and General Cao is General Wu's uncle. How is this different from a family? Does it mean that it is necessary for relatives to come to visit?" Can't you carry the handbook?"

"You are stopping them now to teach General Wu to cut himself off from relatives. How dare a mere subordinate interfere with Shangfeng's family affairs? How loyal you are!"

While talking, Cheng Yu gave Yin Jian a strange look.

At this time, Cheng Yu's back was facing Cao Pi, Cao Chun and others, so Yin Jian was the only one who could see this look, but it's hard to say whether he understood the deep meaning in this look.

However, these words made Wang Qing and Zhu Lu nervous at the same time.

"This……"

The two looked at each other, and really didn't understand what kind of plane Cheng Yu was doing, why instead of saying a good word for the Li army, he went so far as to accuse Yin Jian of the crime.

Especially Julu.

He doesn't even know whether he should continue to follow Cheng Yu's arrangement and keep silent, otherwise Cheng Yu might place the blame on Wu Liang if it goes on like this.

"?"

Cao Pi and Cao Chun also looked at each other.

For the time being, they don't understand exactly what Cheng Yu is here for, but it sounds like these words are completely aimed at them...

"Uh……"

Yin Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally saluted and said in a gentle tone, "What Cheng Taishou taught me is that it's only because the general is stupid, he didn't expect this relationship, and the general knows his mistake."

...

"If you know your mistakes, you must correct them!"

Cheng Yu continued to say in a deep voice, "Since you acted according to the rules before, the Second Young Master and General Cao are too numerous to be lazy to argue with you, a warrior, but this inspection is an important task in the army, especially now that the situation is tense. You can't delay, you quickly move away to welcome the second son and General Cao, and then I will personally accompany the two generals to complete the inspection, you just cooperate well, if you dare to evade the slightest, I will immediately Lead Chen's remaining garrison to attack the Tuan army's garrison, and vow to take your head off!"

After the words were finished, Cheng Yu immediately gave him another look, for fear that Yin Jian still didn't understand what he meant until now.

"This……"

However, Yin Jian was still a little confused.

Not only him, but also Wang Qing, Zhu Lu, Cao Pi and Cao Chun. Why did this place become the home field of Chen Liu's garrison unknowingly, as if he was Cheng Yu who came to deal with the Huren army secretly?
at the same time.

Cheng Yu had already turned around, looked at Cao Pi and Cao Chun with a smile, and immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Please, two generals, the three of us will enter the garrison of the Huren army together for inspection. There is no need for the guards to follow in, I know the military strategy of Marquis Yongqiu, and I can assure you that the Huan army will never dare to disobey orders."

three people?

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly understood Cheng Yu's intentions.

If he, Cao Pi, and Cao Chun were the only ones who entered the Huan army's garrison to conduct inspections, the Huan army would not have to worry about the tiger and leopard cavalry waiting for an opportunity to seize the camp, and naturally there would be no risk.

In addition, Cheng Yu himself was also a witness. Since Cao Pi and Cao Chun were acting in secret, of course they would not do anything wrong in front of him.

But this is not the point.

The point is that Cheng Yu is too cunning.

Although he personally knew that he was here to rescue the Huan army, but he never said a word in favor of the Huan army from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, he was reprimanding Yin Jian from the very beginning, and sent all the felony and capital crimes to Yin. Jian's head was covered, and he looked like a loyal minister who was wholeheartedly devoted to Cao.

Even if Boss Cao really wanted this secret operation, and Cao Pi and Cao Chun reported the matter truthfully after they went back, he never left any excuses, so it is difficult to be included in the ranks of the Huan army.

It is not only good for oneself.

It is also a matter of loyalty to the emperor.

It also solved the difficulties of the Huan army.

Such killing three birds with one stone, this is his most brilliant place!
Moreover, the Huren Army cooperated with the so-called "supervision" this time. Neither Boss Cao, nor Cao Pi, nor Cao Chun could make use of this incident. At least it gave Wu Liang and the Tuan army some leeway.

"High! Prefect Cheng is really tall!"

Even Zhu Lu, who is always short-sighted, has already figured it out. While casting admiring glances at Cheng Yu, he is glad that he just followed Cheng Yu's arrangement and didn't say anything hot-headed to Cao Pi and Cao Chun. Confused words.

"Oh, I'm confused..."

Wang Qing regretted it, why didn't I think of this, if I knew I was a step late, it would be good to go with Cheng Yu.

But fortunately, he only had time to say a word to Cao Pi and Cao Chun, and the words were innocuous, not particularly annoying.

the other side.

"The last will obey!"

Yin Jian finally understood, and immediately ordered someone to move the rejected horse away, and even opened the gate of the Tuan army's garrison, and the Tuan army soldiers stood neatly inside the gate and greeted them with a military salute.

"..."

Cao Pi and Cao Chun had no choice at this moment, so they could only nod and smile at Cheng Yu, and said "please" helplessly.
