Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 642 Cao Cao's Intuition

Before arriving at the outer city, Xu Chu's dull voice came from outside the carriage:
"My lord, it's Wen Chou, a lieutenant under the former general."

Cao Cao pulled the door curtain and took a look.

As expected, Wen Chou was tied up like a big dumpling and was held in Ma Chao's hand.
And there was Zhang Wu standing beside him, trying to comfort Kuai Yue with kind words?

The people are quite complete.
Even Cao Cao himself did not expect that the first night after returning would be so lively.

The moment Wen Chou saw Cao Cao, he struggled hard and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! I have something to say!!"

Ma Chao kicked him in the knee and said, "You bastard, you broke into the palace with armor on your body and detained an entire state without authorization. How dare you shout like that?"

Wen Chou looked back at Zhang Wu and saw that there was no anger on his face, so he continued:
"Kuai Biejia was not tied up by someone."

"It wasn't you? If it wasn't you who tied him up, then he tied himself up like that."

You know what, Ma Chao really got it right!
Wen Chou felt very angry. He had already determined that Kuai Yue was a villain who flattered the master of evil. Now, even if he said this, no one would believe him!

He could only snort coldly and turn his head away.

It's ok. Wen Chou didn't expect that the next moment, the 'villain' in his mind who was flattering and seducing the master came out by himself, bowed to Cao Gong and said: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report. I have tied myself up in front of General Wen Chou."

Cao Cao got off the car and helped Kuai Yue up, gently patting the back of the latter's hand: "Why is it like this, Yidu? Thank you for your hard work."

"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries."

Cao Cao then waved his hand at Ma Chao and said, "Alright, let this fellow go first."

"Here."

Wen Chou stretched his arms and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, a large number of troops from the two families have gathered in Luling in the south, and a war is imminent. The former general ordered me to return to Xiangyang to fight, but Kuai Biejia repeatedly blocked my way."

Cao Cao's voice was not loud, but it floated out coldly: "You are so anxious to ask for a fight, you dare to bring your weapons and armor to force your way into the palace."

"I am willing to meet your majesty and report the war situation at the front. I will die with no regrets."

"it is good"

Just as Cao Cao was about to raise his voice to say something, Zhang Wu stepped forward first and kicked Wen Chou on the back, sending him flying at least five or six feet away.

At the same time, this sudden change happened to interrupt what Cao Cao was about to say.

"Zhang Manzi, you! Cough~cough~cough~"

Wen Chou had already been exhausted after a fierce battle with Ma Chao, and now he was kicked by Zhang Wu and started coughing up blood.

"Humph, what do you mean by 'you'? What? You kidnapped my uncle and you're right?"

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward and knocked Wen Chou unconscious with three punches and two kicks.

Then he threw Wen Chou's already unconscious body to the ground and ordered Ma Chao: "Find a doctor, don't let him die, I still have a score to settle with him."

"Understood brother"

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhang Wu was not trying to injure Wen Chou at this time; he was clearly trying to save that stupid guy's life.

If Cao Cao had finished speaking just now, this guy would have died.

It can be said that Wen Chou was a brainless man. If he had just complained when Cao Cao questioned him, Cao Cao would naturally not have taken his life.

No matter how he acted, he ultimately did something that only a loyal minister would do.

But this guy is like a stone in a toilet, so smelly and hard.

It would have been fine if he just refused to give in verbally, but he actually criticized Kuai Yue to his face.

If it was really Kuai Yue who failed in his duty, would Cao Cao have just stood there and waited for him to come and complain? Moreover, Wen Chou had set a very bad precedent.

It would have been fine if he had acted like this before Cao Cao ascended the throne, but now that Cao Cao was the emperor, he would
Whether he was forced to do so or acted recklessly, what he did was ultimately linked to treason.

Of course, the mistake he made did not necessarily mean he would die. After all, he only brought 300 soldiers with him. Those who truly wanted to rebel would not act in this way.

"Father-in-law, this guy dared to kidnap my uncle, so I'll take care of him?"

Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently: "Since Ziqian is willing to do it for me, I will not ask any more questions."

Without waiting for everyone to catch their breath, Cao Cao suddenly raised his voice:

"Give orders!"

All the ministers and generals took half a step back, some clasped their fists, some bowed.

"Since the former general has requested to fight three times, I will allow him to cross the river to fight."

"Also, Kuai Yue, the former Biejia of Jingzhou, is appointed as the military supervisor of the Flying Tiger Battalion, with full authority to supervise the combat affairs of the Flying Tiger Battalion."

Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment, then bowed quickly: "I obey your command!"

The rank of a military supervisor of a battalion of soldiers is naturally much lower than that of an official in a state.

but,

Don't forget that at that time, no one without military merit could be granted a title of nobility.

Kuai Yue was not a fool, so he naturally understood Cao Cao's intention.

The benefits he could get after passing the test seemed to be far greater than he had imagined.

As for why it was the Flying Tiger Battalion?

Naturally, it was Cao Cao's temper after Lu Bu disturbed his interest.

"Don't you all think that Kuai Yue is a treacherous official who flatters the emperor? I have appointed a treacherous official as the military supervisor, and see what you will do."

"Order General Zhang Wu to temporarily serve as the Grand Commander of the Jinghuai Navy and to have full authority to dispatch the navies of Jiangxia, Hengjiangdu, and Huainan."

Zhang Wu picked up Zhang Xiao again and put him on his neck, then he casually clasped his fists towards Cao Cao and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I will take care of this matter."

"Order General Fu Bo Ma Chao to temporarily take over the post of Central Guard General, and prepare the troops in Xiangyang. Rest overnight, and then march to Jiangxia tomorrow."

"The last general takes command!"

"Okay, let's all disperse."

After dispersing the crowd, Cao Cao did not go back to spend the night.

Instead, he led Xu Chu to the front hall of the palace.

"Zhongkang, go and fetch that woman from before."

"The general will get the order!"

The daughter of Yu Shen, the counselor of Biejia Mansion?

It stands to reason that as Yu Shen was Kuai Yue's advisor, it is not impossible that he was a spy for the princes in the south of the Yangtze River.

But why is the woman called Yu Xiuli so nervous?
Cao Cao's intuition told him that things might be more difficult than he had imagined.

But now, before he pried open the woman's mouth, he didn't know where the storm came from.
