Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 36 Deng Ai
Seeing that Liu Bei was about to be beheaded by the horse, He Yan quickly nodded on his forehead and left and right shoulders: "Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, let Liu Bei die here, and don't have any more accidents, Amen!"

But the counterfeit fighter still slapped He Yan hard...

On the edge of the distant skyline, a handsome flag embroidered with the word [文] appeared.

"Wen Pin was ordered by Liu Jingzhou to come to pick Liu Yuzhou as a guest in Xiangyang!"

"Dry!"

He Yan couldn't help swearing, and stared at the Jingzhou army who rushed over with a look of despair.

"..."

Cao Ren and Man Chong also collapsed in the same way.

I have been chasing Liu Bei for so many days, and I am about to succeed, so why does Liu Biao want to intervene at this time?
Compared with the bleakness on Cao Jun's side, Liu Bei's expression on his face was much lighter, and he quickly moved towards Wenpin.

Unwilling to reconcile, Cao Ren rode up two steps, and an arrow flew towards him about ten steps in front of him.

"Captain Cao! This is the border of Jingzhou, if you go any further, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wenpin, as Liu Biao's direct descendant, controls a large number of troops in Jingzhou, and he is not at a disadvantage in the face of Cao Ren at this moment.

"Liu Biao, Wenpin!"

Cao Ren's teeth were itching with hatred at this time, but he didn't dare to attack.

He was ordered by Cao Cao to calm Liu Bei and Liu Pi, not to attack Liu Biao.

Now that Cao Cao is confronting Yuan Shao at Guandu, for the sake of the overall situation, Liu Biao has no choice but to appease and not force him.

However, Cao Ren was still not reconciled, and shouted to Wenpin: "We are only arresting traitors for the court! We have no other intentions! As long as we take Liu Bei, we will naturally retreat!"

Wenpin naturally refused.

The purpose of his coming was Liu Bei, how could it be possible for someone to be taken away by Cao Ren under his nose?
"Lieutenant Cao, Liu Jingzhou, the traitor, will decide for himself!"

"If so, Liu Jingzhou will naturally send the traitor to the imperial court! If not... Liu Jingzhou will also explain to the imperial court!"

Wenpin's nonsense literature once again aroused Cao Ren's dissatisfaction.

However, he also knew that Wenpin was saving face for himself, so there was still some leeway.

Neither Cao Cao nor Liu Biao wanted to go to war at this time, nor did Cao Ren want Liu Biao to intervene in the battle of Guandu because of Liu Bei.

"Uncle Ren..."

At this moment, a fierce light flashed in He Yan's eyes.

Obviously, he wanted Cao Ren to go up and kill Liu Bei regardless of Wenpin at this time.

But Cao Ren, who always obeyed He Yan, rejected He Yan.

"Liu Biao has a hundred thousand armor, for the sake of Sikong's deployment at the front, we must not act on our will!"

In the past, Liu Bei and Liu Pi added up to only a few thousand refugees, and they did not play any decisive factor in the battle of Guandu, so Cao Ren can safely and boldly use He Yan's strategy, even if there are any mistakes, he can control the situation.

But when it comes to Liu Biao's level of influence, Cao Ren does not dare to let He Yan walk a tightrope in the middle.

He Yan was still not reconciled: "Liu Xuande's top ten Liu Jingsheng! If you don't get rid of him now, it will become a big problem in the future!"

Man Chong also persuaded at this moment: "Young Master He, no matter how great the threat of Liu Bei is, it is not as important as Yuan Shao in Hebei. You still have to know how to choose and choose."

He Yan bit his lip, looked at Liu Bei's figure getting further and further away, and lowered his head helplessly.

"Let's go back."

"Liu Bei's soldiers are all scattered now, so it's not that easy to start up again. What's more, with Liu Biao checking and balancing him, he won't invade Yuzhou like he did under Yuan Shao, and there will be no threat in a short time."

At least for Cao Cao, the current situation is considered good.

Using Liu Biao to check and balance Liu Bei may not be a good move.

Cao Ren put his hand on He Yan to comfort him.

"Besides, it's really not a good idea for me to wait for a few people to face the army of civil servants."

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If Wenpin is a little more courageous at this time, Cao Ren, Man Chong, and He Yan will probably all fall here.

Man Chong stepped forward to grab He Yan's reins and helped him turn the horse's head. He Yan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't until he was about to walk out of Xinye that He Yan turned his head and said, "Can only soldiers do it?"

When Cao Ren heard He Yan's murmur, his eyeballs also rolled up sullenly: "Yulang, do you want to take revenge?"

"Ok?"

He Yan was upset, and Cao Ren was equally upset.

"He, Liu Biao, protects people whenever he wants. Those who don't know think that Sikong is afraid of him!"

Cao Ren pointed to a few cottages on the edge of Xinye: "Why don't we move all these people to Yuzhou!"

To protect Liu Bei, you have to pay some price!
Population is the greatest wealth in troubled times, and Cao Ren has already set his sights on the people in this land.

Man Chong naturally applauded this proposal.

When it comes to plundering people, Man Chong is also an expert.

After the Battle of Guandu broke out, many Runan families took refuge in Yuan Shao and built Wubao on the site to resist Cao Cao.

Man Chong was not used to them, so he directly recruited 20 township braves, captured more than 2000 barriers, designed to trap and kill more than [-] leaders, captured more than [-] households and [-] soldiers, and completely pacified Runan.

Facing Liu Biao, even if it was impossible to rob so many people, Cao Ren still dared to rob thousands of households.

As soon as the infantry troops from the rear arrived, Cao Ren moved all five hundred households in several villages near Xinye to Yuzhou.

"Didn't Yulang also buy a thousand acres of fertile land? Why don't you move some common people to follow you to Xuchang, so that you don't need to find farmers and tenants?"

He Yan didn't refuse either, and directly took away two hundred households to let them follow him.

"Among these people...why are there so many people surnamed Deng?"

He Yan took the roster that Man Chong had compiled for him, and found that all the entries included the word "Deng".

Man Chong very appropriately said to He Yan: "As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Shang Wang Wuding named his uncle Denghou and established the Deng Kingdom. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Deng Kingdom was destroyed by the Chu Kingdom, and some of the descendants of the king He used the country's name 'Deng' as his surname. And his descendant Deng Kuang moved to Xinye, Nanyang."

A family that survived the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty for 400 years, no matter how impoverished it was, would be aristocrats with proven history for several generations. not difficult.

For example, the Chen family in Yingchuan, it is not only Chen Qun's lineage that can represent the Chen family in Yingchuan.Therefore, the foundation of the family is often much deeper than imagined.

He Yan read the roster while listening to the popular science, but he let out a little surprise when he saw the two words.

Man Chong didn't notice He Yan's abnormality until He Yan held up the roster and asked him to find this person.

"Deng Ai?"

"It's Deng Ai!"

He Yan smiled all over his face, and even the depression because of Liu Bei being rescued by Liu Biao has been diluted a lot.

"Uncle Ren is right, Liu Bei and Liu Biao can't save Liu Bei for nothing!"

"Everything in the world is a drink and a peck. There are some things that are really hard to say."
