Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 264 With a plan in mind, with a plan in mind, Zixiu is also a hero [8000 words for monthly ticket subscription]

Only one night passed.

The whole city of Ye became more and more tense.

Even if the next day is a sunny day.

But the people in the city still feel that there are dark clouds hanging over their heads.

A dignified and chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire city of Ye, as if he was out of breath.

In the streets and alleys, there are few pedestrians.

In the past, in the streets and alleys, there were endless streams of carriages and pedestrians, as well as shops full of vitality that opened on both sides of the road.

It's become a little lifeless today.

Because the news that Yecheng was about to face a strong enemy's attack and was in the middle of a storm had already spread thoroughly, it was inevitable that people would panic.

But in front of this situation.

They all spread all kinds of positive news in the county mansion, secretly used powerful means to control some local families, and completely covered up the information of the arrival of the two enemy troops from the south. After all kinds of efforts.

It was barely achieved.

Can be imagined.

If you let go of it, I am afraid that Yecheng will really be like a powder keg that has already been ignited, at the moment when the fuse burns out.

It exploded to pieces.

But this morning.

After retreating for a whole night, Cao Ang suddenly summoned all his direct descendants, including some high-ranking figures who belonged to the local area.

Such a large group of people.

Discussed behind closed doors in the study all morning.

The meeting was not over until noon.

No one knows what General Cao discussed with his civil and military ministers.

Everyone only knew that people such as Xun You, Zhang Liao, etc., after leaving the prefect's mansion, they all went in a hurry without knowing where they were going.

It seems that something is going to be arranged.

And if someone observes carefully, they will find that the expressions on the faces of those civil and military officials who left the prefect's mansion seem to be less dignified than before.

It looks a little easier!

of course.

Even so.

The big and small families in the city still don't trust Cao Ang, and there is really a proper solution.

Unless Cao Cao can really mobilize troops and turn hundreds of miles to save Yecheng from danger.

Otherwise, no matter how calm he is now, he is just acting for everyone to see, trying to make the city stable.

General Cao is probably staying in the prefect's mansion now, and he must have gotten angry in a hurry.

……

At the moment in the backyard of the Cao family.

Cao Ang is feeding the eagle.

While humming an unknown tune, he threw fresh mutton casually.

And the golden eagle, named Jiujiu by Cao Ang, moved swiftly and accurately, not missing every piece of fine grain.

Perhaps it is due to Cao Ang's non-stop daily nutritional feeding, coupled with the free-flying life of free-ranging.

Since its birth, the golden eagle, which has been inseparable from Cao Ang most of the time, has grown from a small baby bird to the size of an ordinary medium-sized bird.

Compared with others, the growth cycle is much shorter, and the unique white area at the base of the flight feathers and tail feathers is gradually becoming blurred and shrinking.

And in the process of releasing golden eagles every day.

Cao Ang also found that Jiujiu's flying temperament is gradually becoming more mature, stable and full of sophistication.

Just need to keep it for a few more years.

When this air overlord fully grows to adulthood, he will completely take over the airspace above his head when traveling with him.

Cao Ang didn't have the slightest doubt about this.

"Push!"

When Cao Ang was thinking so.

The golden eagle, who was enjoying the feeding leisurely, suddenly flapped its wings twice, and then stared sharply in the direction of the courtyard gate.

It sensed that someone was coming.

……

as predicted.

A maid trotted in front of Cao Ang very quickly, and after bowing and saluting, she spoke softly.

"My lord, Miss Zhen Jiang is here to visit!"

Cao Ang was slightly taken aback.

Then he waved his hand happily.

"Please!"

Not long after.

Following the sound of two footsteps of different severity, Zhen Jiang and her younger sister Zhen Mi appeared in front of Cao Ang as promised.

"My concubine sees the general!"

"Good afternoon brother!"

The two sisters have different names for Cao Ang, and Cao Ang also treats each other with different etiquette.

After bowing his hands to Zhen Jiang and inviting her to sit down beside him, he waved to Zhen Mi again, motioning for the little girl to sit beside him.

It was only when Zhen Mi approached that Cao Ang realized that she had been attracted by the golden eagle, and her eyes were fixed on the mighty bird standing on the stone platform.

"Brother, is this your bird?"

"good."

After getting an affirmative answer, Zhen Mi stared at it curiously for a while, then suddenly picked up the food bowl from the table.

Then, self-taught, Jia picked up a piece of mutton, pretending to feed it to Jiujiu.

However, the golden eagle is proud by nature.

Except for being close to Cao Ang, the owner who has been raising it, he is dismissive of anyone else.

Therefore, Zhen Mi's gesture of goodwill not only did not get any response, but saw Jiujiu fluttering his wings for a while, then turned his head aside.

Look no further.

……

"Humph!"

Little A Mi who has been mercilessly neglected.

He couldn't help but snorted softly, then pouted his mouth angrily.

Under such movements, the delicate and round face looked like an angry dolphin.

See how cute the little girl is.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing softly.

"Jiujiu, come here!"

under the command of the master.

The bird of prey, which was originally arrogant and dismissive, flew over very docilely and landed on Cao Ang's shoulder.

Cao Ang patted the golden eagle's wings while touching Zhen Mi's head with the other hand.

Then he said earnestly to Jiujiu.

"Jiuzi, do me a favor, put away your paws, play with the little girl for a while, and I'll give you a big meal tomorrow!"

Like the red rabbit horse, this golden eagle is also an extremely spiritual creature, able to comprehend the meaning of Cao Ang's words to a large extent.

So after hearing such words.

Jiujiu let out two reluctant "cuckoos", and then landed on Zhen Mi's shoulder.

"Okay, Ami, take it to another place in the yard, and I'll have a few words with your sister."

After successfully achieving the goal.

Zhen Mi immediately narrowed her eyes, and showed a super-sweet smile to Cao Ang. The flickering of the little tiger teeth really made people feel good.

"I see, brother, you are so kind!"

…………

The little girl disappeared from the eyes of the two of them.

However, she could vaguely hear her giggling and coquettish laughter when she was teasing the golden eagle.

Wait until the sound fades away.

Cao Ang slightly suppressed the smile on his face.

Then he turned his head and asked Zhen Jiang casually, "I don't know Miss Zhen Jiang, why did you choose to come to my house today?"

Zhen Jiang still had that gentle appearance.

On the one hand, with gentle movements and elegant demeanor, he cooked slightly light tea soup for Cao Ang.

He said in a soft voice: "Didn't you just say it a few days ago, General, that if I have free time, I will bring my younger sister to your house more often."

"I'm just following your orders!"

Listen to this slightly playful words.

Cao Ang couldn't help shaking his head.

Although his heart was slightly moved, he still asked calmly as before.

"What I mean is that almost everyone in Wei County now knows that I, Cao Ang, are facing a great crisis. I don't know how many people are eyeing me."

"Although it seems that I can still support it now, it is very likely that tomorrow, a wave will completely overturn me, and the hard-earned Wei County will also be lost."

"And when I may capsize at any time, you still choose to come to visit me instead of retreating. This move is really unwise!"

……

Cao Ang's words were full of inductive meaning.

to be honest.

He was testing Zhen Jiang.

Let's use the current crisis that everyone knows to test out what kind of reaction she will have.

After all, only when we are in trouble can we see the truth.

And after hearing such a question.

Zhen Jiang didn't show much surprise, but calmly scooped up a bowl of tea soup for Cao Ang, and then replied in a soft but firm tone.

"Actually, my concubine came to visit today, not only to chat with the general, but also to ask you for permission."

Cao Ang raised his hand, signaling to continue.

"Before I came, my younger brother Zhen Yao asked me to tell you a word. Our Zhen family hopes to take advantage of this moment of panic to continue to expand."

"Since those big and small families in the county don't have enough trust in you, then our Zhen family will simply take over all the shops and properties they sold at a low price."

"It can be regarded as thanks to these families, adding strength to our Zhen family in the process of continuing to grow and spreading to every corner of Wei County."

Hear this.

Cao Ang's eyes suddenly flickered.

There is a trace of complexity in the eyes.

Where is this for development and growth.

He was clearly telling himself that the Zhen family had already decided to tie Cao Ang to death, even if a big crisis came, they would never let go of the tie, on the contrary, they would tie it deeper and deeper.

After all, the more fixed assets you take over.

Once Wei County under Cao Ang's rule is overthrown.

Then the Zhen family will lose everything completely, and the family that has finally improved will be reduced to ashes and wiped out overnight.

This is not a big gamble!
……

"Miss Zhen Jiang, why bother your Zhen family? Even if you maintain the current situation and don't advance or retreat, it's better than rushing forward!"

Cao Anglue said this with emotion.

However, Zhen Jiang still just smiled indifferently, and lightly brushed a strand of hair hanging down her cheek with her right hand, and pulled it behind her delicate ear.

Then his eyes fluttered and blinked.

"I don't think so."

"After all, at such a time, the small actions of our Zhen family will be able to gain the favor of you, General. This is a bargain with no profit at all!"

Straightforward and unabashed speech.

It seems to be full of utilitarianism and gaming.

But that's why.

That's how valuable it is to advance in adversity.

So after being a little bit stunned, Cao Ang couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "What a rich man who seeks wealth in danger, Miss Zhen Jiang is really sincere!"

"It's just that there is no profit at all. If you lose the bet, the price will be the family business accumulated by your ancestors for generations, and it will be lost in one day."

"This book is huge!"

It's just something that Cao Ang didn't expect.

Faced with his own words that were obviously praiseworthy, Zhen Jiang restrained his smile instead.

His facial expression suddenly became serious.

His face was full of seriousness.

"The general's words are ridiculous!"

"My concubine never thought that our Zhen family, approaching you at this time, is making a big gamble, and there is no so-called risk at all, and it is not based on the loss of a century-old foundation."

"Because in my opinion, the current crisis is nothing more than a small trouble for you."

"I believe that you will definitely win. These menacing enemies will eventually be wiped out, and this concubine is just waving the flag for the winner!"

"What's the danger?!!"

……

Cao Ang was a little confused by Zhen Jiang's confident appearance.

He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows.

After a little thought.

Just then hesitantly pointed at himself, and then asked with some doubts.

"You have so much confidence in me?"

Zhen Jiang licked her juicy, bright, cherry-like lips, and then said softly.

"Before I came, I only had five points of confidence in the general, but after I came, I have [-]% confidence in you!"

"Appreciate further details!"

Cao Ang became more and more curious.

Could it be that she discovered some details?
After Zhen Jiang stroked his train of thought.

Said with a smile like a flower.

"Early this morning, I heard that you, General, gathered your civil and martial arts team and discussed for a whole morning. When these people left, they looked very relaxed. This is completely different from yesterday, which is enough to show that the situation is serious. Changed."

"Besides, after discussing for a whole morning, if there is no result, it will be difficult for people who have the energy to cultivate their energy to be as stable as before, right?"

……

Cao Ang is now more and more satisfied with Zhen Jiang.

The things I asked her.

She can say four, five, six, it is a serious and reasonable analysis, and she uses her brain to think.

Rather than blindly blowing one's breath.

This is really commendable.

Moreover, after she observed the specific situation, the analysis and conclusions based on this basis were all extremely correct.

It can be said that resourcefulness is not shallow!
But so far, Cao Ang has not made a statement.

He just tapped the table lightly with his hand.

Then he asked meaningfully: "Then what if I am pretending to be calm and deliberately ordering Xun Gongda and the others to act relaxed and comfortable when they go out, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city?"

"Pfft!"

Zhen Jiang, who has always maintained a ladylike demeanor.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

While covering his mouth.

While pointing in the direction where his sister Zhen Mi ran away earlier.

"The general really knows how to joke!"

"I have never heard of anyone pretending to be calm. I would hide in the mansion and feed the birds leisurely. Besides, when I saw you just now, you didn't show any signs of anxiety and depression because of the approaching enemy."

"Under the combination of the two, I can conclude that the general already has a way to defeat the enemy, so he is so stable."

"Moreover……"

When it comes to here.

Zhen Jiang paused for two or three breaths.

White teeth bit her lower lip lightly, her pearly white teeth were silently stained with a trace of bright red rouge, on the contrary, she felt strangely alluring.

He hesitated for quite a while.

Only then did Zhen Jiang seem to have made a major decision, speaking in a soft voice with an attitude of going all out.

"Besides, even without these things, I still firmly believe that with the general's extraordinary bravery and plans, he will be able to solve this situation safely!"

"As far as I know, the enemies you have faced along the way are all extraordinary people, but you, general, can often defeat them."

"Now these are nothing more than unknown people. No matter how fierce they look, I don't think they are the general's all-in-one enemy. After all, they are just stepping stones for you to declare your world-renowned reputation!"

……

Perhaps such straightforward words made it difficult for Zhen Jiang to speak, so the words just fell.

She hurriedly picked up the tea bowl in front of her.

With the act of drinking tea soup, he gently covered it with his sleeves, and a few strands of blush slowly rose on his cheeks.

Like this.

Cao Ang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The binoculars revealed a very different brilliance faintly.

hiss!
Girl, are you serious?
As a top acting master Cao Ang, most people show their acting skills in front of him, it's purely out of class.

Cao Ang could tell at a glance whether he was lying to cater to himself, or speaking from the bottom of his heart.

Anyway, from his experience.

Zhen Jiang, who was sitting opposite him at this moment, revealed sincerity in every move.

And after confirming this.

Cao Ang immediately made up his mind.

Don't care about these details anymore!
This girl has vision, has a big picture, and is quite resourceful and analytical.

There is absolutely nothing to say about appearance, it is the outstanding expression of the good genes of the Zhen family.

Now she has to count a little.

That is, in terms of personal preference, Cao Ang is also more willing to marry a wife who admires himself a lot.

All things considered.

Really didn't find any shortcomings.

So what's wrong with that?
……

After some careful consideration.

Cao Ang reciprocated.

Inserting a Dinghaishen needle into Zhen Jiang's heart, he spoke frankly to comfort her.

"Up to now, I will not hide from Miss Zhen Jiang, I do have some strategies to defeat the enemy now, including the enemies from the north and south, I am quite sure."

"Gongda and Wenyuan did get my approval and went to make their own arrangements."

"After Miss Zhen Jiang goes back later, you might as well tell your family members, so that you can rest assured. As for continuing to pay for the purchase at a low price, I also agree, but don't spend it too hard, you have to give it to me." The noble families in the county leave some leeway."

Zhen Jiang listened.

The stone in my heart fell down.

In fact, there was one thing she didn't tell Cao Ang.

Before coming here today, what my younger brother Zhen Yao asked her to do was to test Cao Ang's tone.

Then, based on the answers obtained, they can discuss again and decide whether the Zhen family's next route is to advance or retreat.

He never said that Zhen Jiang should directly express his opinion and continue to follow Cao Ang unswervingly.

The previous statement, as well as the various explanations that followed, were all her own assertions.

And the reason for doing so.

Not only did he see Cao Ang feeding the birds after he came to Cao's mansion, but he also felt that Cao Ang had a good chance of winning from the bottom of his heart.

Hence the decision was made.

But now judging from the results.

I bet right this time.

General Cao really has a plan in mind, and she has a good strategy in mind, and her move to raise the flag and shout before the situation is clear, may be rewarded with a lot of rewards.

……

While Zhen Jiang was thinking about it.

Suddenly, Cao Ang's voice was heard again.

"After Yuan Shu in the south is dealt with, I will ask my father to lead his troops to Wei County, and together with me, we will completely defeat the enemies from all sides."

"There happened to be some things at that time, we can sit down and talk together."

Hearing such words suddenly.

Zhen Jiangchu was a little puzzled at first.

But after some careful consideration.

With a keen sense of smell, he extracted a few key words, and there was a bang in his mind, and a thought suddenly came up.

The cheeks that had been flushed a little because of the words before were now dripping with blood.

Especially against the bright yellow dress.

Below the neck, the white and delicate parts that were exposed were also starting to heat up violently.

This……

This return is a bit too big!
The more Zhen Jiang thought about it, the more chaotic she became. She was still thinking clearly and organized, but now she became a mess.

He couldn't sit still in front of Cao Ang.

I always feel that if I look at Cao Ang, I will be easily captured by the deep meaning in his eyes.

"General... General, it's getting late, I'll take my leave first!"

And after Cao Ang nodded in response.

Zhen Jiang didn't even ask Cao Ang to see him off, and quickly found Zhen Mi who was playing with the carvings in the garden next to her, and fled away as if flying with her sister.

Only Cao Ang was left standing there.

Some shook their heads dumbfounded.

………………

three days later.

It is located in Lecheng County, Hejian Country.

Yuan Shao was sitting high in the hall, while Xu You, Feng Ji and others sat around.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shao should stay in Nanpi County, Bohai County now, but after the armistice agreement in Nangong County, all the cities south of Chengping County in Hejian Kingdom have been assigned to Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.

Therefore, Yuan Shao has now set up a temporary command post in Lecheng County to digest and absorb all these counties as soon as possible.

At this moment Yuan Shao is sitting at the top.

He was playing with a letter box in his hand.

With a smile on the front, but silently, he looked at the crowd who were arguing loudly below.

"Your Majesty, Commander Wei must be saved!"

"As the saying goes, we are now facing the threat of Gongsun Zan's soldiers. If we lose the strong support of Cao Zixiu, our army will be completely at a disadvantage, and all the advantages we have gained before will be wiped out!"

"Whether Cao Zixiu is forced to withdraw from Wei County and give up his interests in Jizhou, or he is isolated and helpless, sticking to Wei County, resulting in a great loss of vitality, this is by no means good news for our army!"

"Once you really fall into such a situation, I'm afraid that you, Fujun, will become Jizhou Mu's plan, and you will really fall into the void!"

Xu You deserves to be the number one Cao Chuan under Yuan Shao's command.

The body is in Yuanying, the heart is in Cao.

as of now.

He still maintained his position of speaking for the Cao family and persuading Yuan Shao to favor the Cao family.

It's just that if some people agree, some people will oppose it.

This point is vividly demonstrated in Yuan Shao's forces with extremely fierce internal struggles.

……

"Ziyuan's words are really bad!"

"We all know the predicament Cao Zixiu is facing, and the importance of his existence to our army, but doesn't Gongsun Zan know?"

"Once the Gongsun army in the north gets the news, they may immediately lead their troops to the south. The purpose is to stop us and prevent the rescue of Wei County."

"If our army takes the risk of splitting up and going to Wei County, then Gongsun Zan will definitely take this opportunity to attack on a large scale. How can our army not suffer heavy losses?"

The speaker is Feng Ji.

These two are old rivals.

Now, the major factional struggles under Yuan Shao's command are also led by the two of them.

After all, these two were the veterans who escaped from Luoyang with Yuan Shao and went straight to Bohai County.

At the beginning of the start, it can barely maintain harmony.

But once a certain foundation has been established, as a senior figure, who has the most power and who has the most right to speak will have to be divided into high and low.

……

Facing Fengji's reverse persuasion.

Xu You snorted coldly.

"As far as the eye can see, between short inches, with a narrow view, you can only see the bottom!"

"Just for the sake of saving for a while, only thinking about the immediate gains and losses, how narrow-minded it is, if you really want to do this, you will only end up losing everything!"

"During the battle in Nangong County, you said you would not save Cao Zixiu, and now that Wei County is in danger, you also said you would not save it."

"In the future, when tens of thousands of cavalry from Gongsun's army head south in a fierce manner, who will come to help us? Is it only because of your mouth in Fengyuantu?"

Xu You sprays people in a set of ways.

There is no fear at all.

It's just that every time is also unambiguous.

With a big wave of his hand, he flicked his sleeves.

He also sneered and said: "If it can be saved, then naturally I will do my best, but it is already an irresistible situation, so why bother in vain?"

"The lesser of two evils."

"Rather than risking Gongsun Zan taking advantage of the situation to rescue Cao Zixiu, it is better to take the opportunity to win the Qinghe Kingdom and use the land of two counties to counter Gongsun Zan."

"I don't think it's impossible!"

The tip of the needle is against the wheat awn.

He didn't even give the others a half point to speak.

Just the two of them quarreling is enough for a day.

……

For most of the past.

Faced with the tit-for-tat situation of his subordinates, Yuan Shao must be in a dilemma, not knowing who to listen to and how to make a decision.

But today he is completely different.

Even though Xu You and Feng Ji quarreled fiercely, Yuan Shao was still cheerful, as if he was sitting on the Diaoyutai and quietly watching the world's affairs.

Until the two of them quarreled and didn't want to quarrel.

When they all turned their eyes to his lord.

Yuan Shaocai said in a leisurely tone.

"Ziyuan, Yuantu, you two are sticking to each other's opinions, but no matter whether it is to save or not, you both believe that Cao Zixiu alone will never be able to defend Wei County."

"I don't know if it is or not?"

Yuan Shao's attitude made the two slightly puzzled.

But he still nodded yes.

"As the Fujun said, the black mountain bandits on both sides have an army of hundreds of thousands, and even if less than two or three out of ten of them are capable of fighting, this is still a huge force."

"In addition to the news brought by our army spies, Zhang Yang and Yu Fuluo still have more than 1 troops, and they are eyeing Yecheng."

"In addition, Cao Mengde, the shepherd of Yanzhou, has been dragged down by Yuan Gonglu. Cao Zixiu has limited troops. No matter how brilliantly he uses them, it will not change the fact that his troops are scarce."

Xu You and Feng Ji had a rare unification of opinion.

However, after hearing this statement.

However, Yuan Shao suddenly burst into laughter, and the laughter resounded inside and outside the hall.

……

After a long while.

Yuan Shao's laughter stopped.

Looking at the bewildered and bewildered looks of the people on the left and right.

Yuan Shao said with a smile.

"It's absurd!"

"You all despise Cao Zixiu too much!"

"If you want to come to a young hero, how can you become helpless and fall into an incomprehensible danger because of some ringworm and scabies?"

"In fact, his foresight is far beyond your expectations!"

Speaking of it.

Yuan Shao opened the letter box in his hand, threw the letter he had read on the table, and then raised his hand to signal the left and right to come forward and read it.

The letter is short.

Only a few lines of text.

Therefore, Xu You and others almost glanced at it.

And it was just such a glance that made their complexions a little more exciting.

Even Feng Ji, who opposed sending troops to aid Cao Ang, still had twinkling eyes at this moment.

……

"What a Cao Zixiu, after much deliberation, he actually overlooked this one. If he can hold him back from the south, I'm afraid there will be something to be done!"

"High, it really is high! Cao Zixiu is worthy of being known as a living heaven and man, he is not chaotic in danger, and he is not panic in danger!"

"My lord, I think this method is completely feasible. Without our army's efforts, it can resolve part of the danger for Wei County. This is beneficial to our army and has no harm!"

Everyone you speak, I speak.

They all agreed with the contents of the letter.

And Yuan Shao stood up suddenly.

With a wave of his hands, he shook the sleeves of his robe, and said boldly.

"Don't worry, everyone. I've already thought about this matter. Cao Zixiu must be rescued. We won the entire Jizhong plan, and he is indispensable!"

"I've already finished writing the letter. I'll pick the best horses in the army later, and change trains day and night, non-stop, so as to deliver the letter to its destination in the shortest possible time!"

And after giving the order.

A cold light suddenly flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.

Then the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a cold smile, and he said with a bit of murderous intent.

"I think Gongsun Zan is still enjoying himself right now. You must be jumping around in a hurry, but we don't know that everything is under our control!"

"Give me an order, and the army will immediately assemble and deploy defenses in Lecheng County and Chengping County. Give me a posture of parrying with all my strength and intending to go west to support."

"Let's play with Gongsun Zan from now on. I'm looking forward to him trying his best to obstruct us, but in the end it turns out that it's useless. Wei Jun's crisis is still easily resolved."

"At that time, how wonderful was his face? I really want to see it with my own eyes!"

speak here.

Yuan Shao even burst out laughing.

Perhaps it was also during this period of time that Gongsun Zan had pressed him too hard, and he was always aggrieved.

Even if he had won the battle in Nangong County, he still didn't enjoy it very much.

As a result, Yuan Shao would show such a gaffe once he found the time to counter pressure.

No matter what.

A quarter of an hour after the meeting ended.

A few fast horses set off from Lecheng County and galloped all the way to the southwest.

……
