Great Military Division

Chapter 504 Cao Cao is shocked!Yuan Shao actually cast himself into the net?
"Ziyuan, where are we going?"

On the way to Qinghe, Yuan Shao looked at the wilderness and plain, and said curiously.

"Of course I'm going to find Meng De."

At this moment, Xu You is very happy, because he will soon complete the task.

"Zi Yuan."

Not to mention Yuan Shao, even Feng Ji didn't understand: "Let's go like this, can we really find Cao Cao? Shouldn't he be a groom now?"

"Yes."

Xu You nodded affirmatively: "Meng De is indeed a groom now, so we can't show up easily, so we need to find a confidant of Cao Cao to get in touch with him."

"So it is."

Yuan Shao suddenly realized and nodded, and immediately understood: "Does Ziyuan want to find Cao Ren? This direction should be the direction Cao Ren was stationed in."

"My lord has a good memory."

Xu You hurriedly nodded in praise and continued: "Cao Ren is Cao Cao's most trusted general. Now that Cao Cao has been fired and has become a groom in the camp, we must find Cao Ren before we can find Cao Cao."

Yep.

Yuan Shao took it seriously.

At least, there is nothing logically wrong.

Feng Ji put forward a different opinion: "Ziyuan, Cao Cao has become a groom, shouldn't we go directly to Cao Chun? He is the chief general of Cao Jun's cavalry battalion. When Cao Chun is found, Cao Cao is found."

"That's right."

"but."

Xu You did not hesitate to go back: "Do you know where Cao Chun is? The cavalry battalion is Cao Cao's main force. Usually, it is stationed close to the main business."

"However, once a war breaks out, the camp of the cavalry battalion is not fixed, even if it is still near the main camp. At this time, can we lightly venture into the dangerous land?"

Yuan Shao nodded slowly, and said softly: "That's right, what Ziyuan said is reasonable, even if we know the location of the cavalry battalion, we can't come easily, it's better to find Cao Ying instead."

"Cao Ren is indeed a good entry point. He is now the third main force after the Xiahou brothers. He usually has a good relationship with Cao Amo, and is fully qualified for this task."

Xu You bowed: "My lord is wise."

Yuan Shao exhaled and waved his hand: "Ziyuan, how long will it take us to reach Cao Ren's camp?"

"This"

Xu You frowned, and said with a puzzled face: "It should be soon, after all we have been away for a long time, according to common sense, Tang Mao should have dispatched troops by now."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long-lasting report suddenly sounded not far away.

Yuan Shao looked up.

But I saw a horse riding from Juechen, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "My lord, I found a soldier and horse in front of me. There is a word 'Cao' on the banner. I think it should be Cao Ren's soldier and horse."

Yuan Shao hurriedly asked, "Oh? How many troops does the opponent have?"

The scout replied, "About six thousand."

"Six thousand?"

Yuan Shao frowned, turned his head and glanced at Fengji: "Yuantu, do you have enough troops?"

Feng Ji nodded: "That's right, Cao Ren's army is five or six thousand, so it should be Cao Ren."

call-

Yuan Shao finally heaved a sigh of relief, he waved his hands and said, "Ziyuan, it's up to you, go to the camp first, and check Cao Ren's tone."

Xu You bowed his body and cupped his hands, without hesitation: "My lord, don't worry, just leave it to me. Find a place to hide it. I will definitely come back within an hour."

Yuan Shao nodded: "Okay, no problem."

Immediately.

Xu You turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Xu You leaving, Yuan Shao couldn't help saying with emotion: "Ziyuan is really a loyal minister."

Feng Ji Chang exhaled: "Yes, Ziyuan is indeed loyal to the lord."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to hide and send someone to keep an eye on it."

Feng Ji cupped his hands: "Here."

*****
"Slow down the marching speed?"

Cao Ren frowned, with a look of disbelief.

Others are all very quick, and wished they could go to Quliang the next day and take Yuan Shao's head, but their own general did the opposite and ordered to slow down the marching speed.

Do you dare to believe this?

Believe it or not, Cao Ren couldn't believe it anyway: "Are you sure? Did you make a mistake?"

The messenger was sure and affirmed: "General, this order is not for you alone, but for all the generals, not only you, but General Xiahou as well. How could you make a mistake?"

"What's more."

Speaking of this, the messenger added: "Before we came out, we had repeatedly confirmed it. It is this military order. Look, there is a general's seal on it."

"The villain may make a mistake, but this seal must not be wrong. This is indeed the general's order. There must be no problem. Don't worry."

Some military orders can be passwords, but some military orders must be written as evidence, especially such an abnormal military order like now.

Cao Ren took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

His eyes were fixed on the military order, neither the handwriting nor the seal could be fake.

Finally, Cao Ren agreed and waved his hand: "Okay, I understand, you can go back and tell the general, I don't have to worry here."

The messenger bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Reining in his horse, he turned around and galloped away.

Cao Ren put away the military order and moved his hand: "Come here."

The soldiers next to him rushed forward immediately: "General, what are your orders?"

Cao Ren sighed: "Not far ahead, set up camp, let's not leave today."

The messenger bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Here."

Then, he reined in his horse, turned around, and galloped out to convey the military order.

Soon.

Suddenly, an announcement sounded from the front:
"Report—!"

Cao Ren looked up.

But seeing, a horse came galloping, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "General, the former army found a spy. He said that his name is Xu You, and he came to find you, General."

"Xu You?"

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment.

He naturally knew what happened at the beginning, and he knew even more that Xu You was an undercover agent, and his eyes suddenly brightened: "Are you sure he is Xu You?"

"This"

Seeing the frowning appearance of the messenger, Cao Ren stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand: "Forget it, let someone bring him here. I will see it with my own eyes."

The messenger hurriedly nodded: "Here."

Immediately.

Dash away.

After a while, two soldiers came with Xu You.

Across the distance, Cao Ren recognized this cunning man with small eyes. It was none other than Xu You.

"Xu Ziyuan, is it really you?"

Cao Ren hurriedly got off his horse and went up to meet him.

"Yes."

Xu You nodded affirmatively: "It's my servant, how is the general now?"

Cao Ren didn't hesitate: "Very good, he's in Daying."

Xu You sighed: "That's good. I've brought Yuan Shao here. When are we going to meet up and settle the matter quickly? You don't have to go to Quliang's place, just leave it to Xu Rong and Zhang Liao."

"Great."

Cao Ren was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Leave this matter to me, and I will arrange it myself. If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I will definitely do it."

"Really there"

Xu You took a deep breath and said with certainty.

"It's what Ziyuan ordered."

Cao Ren hurriedly put down his posture and listened attentively: "The last commander must keep it in his heart."

Xu You said softly: "I coaxed Yuan Shao here, there are some things you have to keep in mind, and don't let your feet show, otherwise, if he walks away, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Cao Ren cupped his hands: "I also ask Ziyuan to make it clear."

"Is such that."

At that moment, Xu You briefly stated the ins and outs of the matter.

Following that, he explained some precautions to Cao Ren in detail.

After all, Cao Ren is a martial artist, and his actions are relatively rough. Xu You only finally felt relieved after checking it several times to ensure that it was correct: "That's all, the general can remember it."

Cao Ren patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Ziyuan. You've explained it so many times. If I can't remember it, I'd be too stupid. Don't worry, I've remembered it in my heart."

"very good."

Only then did Xu You feel relieved, and said softly: "Since that's the case, I'll find Yuan Shao after you set up the camp. During this time, you must make arrangements, and there must be no mistakes."

"kindness."

Cao Ren nodded: "Don't worry, I guarantee that there will be no mistakes, you just go."

Xu You cupped his hands: "In that case, I will take my leave."

Cao Ren nodded: "Okay, it's hard work."

Looking at the back of Xu You leaving, Cao Ren heaved a sigh of relief: "I finally understand why the general ordered a slow march, haha, it's time for us to make meritorious deeds, this is fate!"

Immediately.

Cao Ren turned his head and commanded: "Come here, order the whole army, let's not leave, we will set up camp on the spot."

The soldier cupped his hands: "Here!"

*****
"Lord."

In a leeward place, Feng Ji was chatting with Yuan Shao: "I heard that Cao Cao is an old friend of yours, and he is many years younger than you. He is now the Tian Kui Xing of Nanyang. He has a high status, and it may be difficult to shake him."

"kindness."

Yuan Shao didn't question, but nodded: "Yes, Cao Amo is indeed in a high position now, and this kid has always been a master who does not suffer. If it is normal, it is indeed difficult to convince him."

"But now it's different"

Yuan Shao was full of self-confidence and said in a sonorous voice, "Emperor Nanyang is suspicious of him now, and he has also dispatched a prince to remove his military power and order him to be a groom."

"Humph!"

With a soft snort, Yuan Shao felt like he was in control of everything: "Cao Aman is originally a suspicious character. The more the emperor is like this, the more he will worry about whether he will lose his life someday."

"Perhaps, without us, he would consider retreating for himself, and once we appear, we will definitely become his first choice. As long as the price is sufficient, I believe Cao Aman will definitely not refuse."

Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, Feng Ji is equally clear about this.

I have to admit that what Yuan Shao said was indeed reasonable, but Feng Ji was still a little worried: "My lord is right, but we still can't take it lightly. Cao Cao is definitely not a person who makes choices lightly."

"Moreover, many of Cao's relatives are now serving in the Nanyang Army, and some people even settled their homes in Wancheng. If he really defected, these people would definitely suffer."

Yuan Shao didn't think it was a problem at all, instead he smiled lightly and said, "Don't you think this is an advantage?"

Feng Ji was stunned: "My lord, what does this mean?"

"It's simple."

Yuan Shao said with absolute certainty: "We are in the dark now. As long as we can persuade Cao Cao, we can make him deploy and arrange in advance. At that time, both internal and external efforts will definitely shake the foundation of Nanyang."

Fengji: "."

Yuan Shao's miraculous brain circuit is also an eye-opener for Feng Ji.

but
Before Feng Ji could refute, he heard a familiar voice not far away:
"My lord—!"

"My lord—!"

It's Xu You.

Yuan Shao and Fengji judged at once.

The two subconsciously turned their heads to look, and seeing Xu You smiling, they knew that Cao Ren had been dealt with.

Fengji frowned and couldn't help but be surprised: "So fast?"

Yuan Shao smiled: "Wouldn't it be better to hurry up? I'm already dying of anxiety."

"Zi Yuan."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and signaled Xu You to come over. Before the other party could speak, he hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"

Xu You quickly nodded and said, "Cao Ren has agreed to help introduce him, and he will set up camp later, so he is not going to continue on his way. According to what he said, the generals of the Cao clan are very dissatisfied with Nanyang's actions."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shao was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Xu You nodded: "Well, I heard that Bao Xin has been under surveillance because of his plea for Cao Cao. Once the war is over, he will most likely face the end of being dismissed from his military post."

hiss-!
Yuan Shao couldn't help taking a deep breath when he heard this: "Is it that serious?"

Even an outsider like Yuan Shao was very aware of the welfare of the Nanyang army.

Once Bao Xin is dismissed from his current military position, the corresponding welfare benefits will also be cancelled. It is conservatively estimated that at least the hidden value of hundreds of gold will be completely wiped out.

For Bao Xin, this is definitely a huge loss.

Xu You solemnly replied: "That's right."

Feng Ji sighed: "If this is true, it is reasonable for the generals of the Cao clan to be in danger. Maybe we can really persuade Cao Cao, not necessarily."

"of course can!"

Xu You was sure and affirmed: "Cao Ren is already like this, let alone Cao Cao who is a groom."

Yuan Shao was also full of confidence: "Don't worry, I will pay the full price! Ziyuan, how do we arrange it now?"

Xu You leaned forward and cupped his hands: "The general thought that we should live in Cao Ren's army, and then let Cao Ren try to take Cao Cao over, and we can discuss it together."

"No!"

Without waiting for Yuan Shao to answer, Feng Ji immediately denied: "It's too dangerous to do this, if the lord is exposed, it will be difficult to ensure safety, don't forget, now Cao's army is not only the generals of the Cao clan, but also the exam class. The officer who came out."

"This"

Although Xu You expected that it would be difficult, he did not expect Feng Ji to be so thoughtful.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed, although Cao Cao is the chief general, and although the generals of the Cao clan are the main battalions, Tang Hao can control the entire army, which has proved that there are many forces loyal to the imperial family, we can't do this. adventure."

"How is this?"

Yuan Shao turned his head to glance at Xu You, and said softly, "Ziyuan, go communicate with Cao Ren and ask him to send us to Cao Cao's place, and then make an appointment to talk in detail."

Feng Ji nodded his head: "If that's the case, it's okay to think about it, at least it can guarantee safety."

Xu You paused, nodded and nodded: "Okay, after Cao Ren set up his camp, I'll make another trip to test my words. Others don't know where Cao Cao is, but he must know."

Yuan Shao patted Xu You on the shoulder: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"where."

Xu You hurriedly handed over: "This is what subordinates should do, so why bother."

Having said that, Xu You was actually very upset.

If Yuan Shao enters Cao Ying, it will basically declare victory and the task will be completed.

But now, Yuan Shao suddenly wanted to do this, which undoubtedly added a difficulty to the task.

But it didn't matter, Yuan Shao, who had already entered Cao Ren's surveillance range, had no chance of escaping.

*****
Qinghe.

Cao's army camp.

Central Army, big tent.

In front of the cowhide map, Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map with his eyes, and sighed: "Xu Rong's movements are really fast. If he guesses correctly, he will compete with Zhang Liao."

"Yes."

Cheng Li was also full of emotion: "Even I didn't expect Xu Rong's reaction to be so quick. It seems that he is definitely going to win Yuan Shao's head."

"Xu Rong?"

Tang Mao chewed on the name repeatedly, and said softly: "He is over half a hundred years old, an old man, how long can he flop? I think his move is just for honor, and he has no further ideas."

"kindness."

Cao Cao nodded, and said with deep conviction: "The father of the country is right. Once the imperial court unifies the whole country, it will inevitably expand outward. People who are over fifty years old will eventually be unable to bear it."

"Regardless of Xu Rong's performance, maybe this time will be the end of his military career. It is reasonable to want to retire honorably. His Majesty may give him a knighthood so that he can take care of himself for the rest of his life."

"But Zhang Liao."

Cao Cao frowned and took a long breath: "Not only is he young, but he is also extremely capable. The most important thing is that his relationship with His Majesty is incomparable to Cao."

"If Yuan Shao's head is taken by Zhang Liao, perhaps the General Zhengxi may not be my Cao Cao. Now we can only see how Your Majesty chooses."

Cheng Li comforted: "Don't worry, General, the matter has not yet been settled."

Tang Mao also followed suit: "Yes, Meng De, don't worry, I thought His Majesty was more inclined to you."

Cao Cao smiled lightly: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just analyzing objectively. Even if Zhang Liao wins Yuan Shao's head, I, Cao Cao, may not be defeated. I believe in His Majesty's vision."

"kindness."

Tang Mao nodded: "Is that right? Let's just wait with peace of mind. Your Majesty will make his own decision."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around: "Your Majesty's lofty aspirations, is it something Cao can guess, wait slowly."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded from outside the tent.

Tang Mao and the others looked up.

But seeing, the guard lifted the curtain and entered, stepped forward quickly, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Master, General, Cao Tai has something to see."

Cao Cao frowned: "Cao Tai?"

The guard nodded: "Yes, it is the son of General Cao."

hiss-!
Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment: "What is he doing here?"

"This"

The guard shook his head: "Cao Tai said he had to see the general before he would tell, and he also brought his father's autographed letter."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, knowing that he was here under the orders of his father, and waved his hands quickly: "Let him come in."

The guards cupped their hands: "Well."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the tent.

Not long after, Cao Tai came to the big tent, bowed his body and bowed his hands: "Guo Zhang, general, military adviser, the boy is here at his father's order, there is an urgent report!"

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Present your father's autographed letter."

Cao Tai nodded: "Here."

Immediately.

He took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao tore open the envelope, opened it to browse, and stared at him like a bell, gasped hissingly: "Yuan Shao, this guy actually got rid of most of them and entered Qinghe alone?"

"what?"

Suddenly, Cheng Li was taken aback.

The head of the state, Tang Mao, was even more taken aback: "Yuan Shao actually went to Qinghe?"

In the next moment, everyone's eyes focused on Cao Tai, as if they were expecting his answer.

But see, Cao Tai nodded affirmatively: "Yes, we have arrived at Qinghe. However, Yuan Shao is afraid of going on a business trip. He is not in the camp yet. He hopes that the general can come out and have an interview with him."

Stepping through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it!
Happiness comes so unguarded.

Cao Cao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I can interview him to dispel his doubts, so I can choose here."

Afterwards, Cao Cao turned to look at the map, and said softly, "I chose Yuancheng not far from the south bank of the Qinghe River. The targets there are small and it is not easy to arouse suspicion. Yuan Shao will definitely agree."

"Origin City?"

Cao Tai kept it in mind, and nodded slowly: "Okay, since that's the case, my nephew will go back first. Three days later, my father will take Yuan Shao and others to Yuancheng."

"kindness."

Cao Cao nodded and exhaled: "Anyway, he is a good friend. How could his head fall into someone else's hands? It should belong to me, Cao Cao."

"You go back and tell Ling Zun that the duck to the mouth is absolutely not allowed to fly away. It must be monitored for twelve hours. If he notices something wrong, he will be arrested in advance, understand?"

Cao Tai bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, general, my father will live up to his high hopes."

Only then did Cao Cao feel relieved: "Okay, since that's the case, you can go back and don't show your feet."

Cao Tai nodded: "Here."

Say it.

Bow down and leave the tent.

"Hahaha!"

In the next second, Tang Hao, Cao Cao and others looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

Especially Cao Cao, who couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I didn't expect Yuan Shao to come to the door on his own initiative. This guy Xu You really has two strokes."

"Yes."

Cheng Li sighed, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "I never thought that Yuan Shao would appear in such a way. He used the army as a bait to escape the golden cicada and come to Qinghe."

"It seems."

Cheng Li smiled lightly: "Our performance during this period of time is quite good."

Tang Mao let out a long breath, feeling relieved: "As long as I catch Yuan Shao, my mission will be considered complete. This period of time is not very easy. When I go back, I must make up for it."

"Thanks for your hard work, Master."

Cao Cao hastily cupped his fists and thanked him: "Cao is able to capture Yuan Shao, thanks to the merits of the country's father, don't worry, Cao knows what to do?"

Tang Mao waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Meng De, I didn't mean that, please don't get me wrong, I really feel tired and my body is not as good as before."

Cao Cao smiled lightly: "Don't worry, my father. Cao knows about His Majesty's temper and bribed you. How dare Cao, I think His Majesty will reward the father of the country."

Tang Mao pinched the goatee under his jaw: "Tang is enough, don't ask for favors!"
