Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

This is... vulgar!

Unbearably vulgar!!

However, Xu You was not at all surprised that Cao Cao said this.

After all, in Xu You's eyes, Cao Cao was just... the descendant of a eunuch, a lowly creature.

Therefore, Xu You spoke with a look of joy on his face.

"Then I wonder if Aman can leave a written document so that I can send a fast horse to present it to my master."

As the saying goes, empty words are not enough.

What's more, Xu You also understood Cao Cao's character and would not believe what Cao Cao said. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask Cao Cao to put the alliance on paper.

"Why not?"

Cao Cao responded, then took a piece of Yangzhou paper from the table beside him, and with a wave of his hand, he wrote two documents, one to Yuan Shao and the other to Yuan Shu.

The content of the document, in addition to a large amount of space related to the relationship between the two Yuans, also expressed the intention to help the Yuan family seize Yanzhou. Not only would it lend 30,000 troops, but it would also take the initiative to guard the Xuzhou flank for Yuan Shu.

Xu You and Yang Hong took the document, read it quickly, and couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

This mission to Cao Cao was able to achieve such a smooth result. It will surely be a great achievement for Xu You and Yang Hong when they return to report.

During this period, Cao Ang, Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others intended to dissuade Cao Cao, but were stopped by Xun Yu with his eyes.

After Xu You and Yang Hong each took the documents and left with satisfaction, preparing to send a fast horse to take the documents back first, Xun Yu took the initiative to bow to Cao Cao.

"Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things must have been able to endure things that ordinary people could not endure. Now that the two Yuans are in power, it is not in your favor to fight for Yanzhou. It is indeed the best strategy to take the initiative to make friends with the two Yuans to ensure the temporary stability of Qingzhou and accumulate strength."

"Moreover, the alliance between the two Yuan states was only forced by the current situation. In reality, they are only superficially united, with many contradictions. When Yanzhou is acquired by Yuan Shu, the two Yuan states will inevitably have contradictions sooner or later. That will be the day for the lord to rise to power."

When Xun Yu said this, everyone present suddenly had a sense of enlightenment and they all bowed in admiration.

Cao Cao also showed some ease on his face and said, "The one who knows me best is Wen Ruo."

After a pause, Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu inadvertently, then spoke.

"Although the alliance with the two Yuans has been decided, the details still need to be negotiated between you, Xu You and Yang Hong."

Immediately, at Cao Cao's signal, everyone bowed and left.

Only Cheng Yu left the conference room, turned around, and returned to the conference room where Cao Cao was the only one left.

It was during this period when Cheng Yu left that several tables in the conference room were covered with sword marks.

In particular, the table used by Xu You was chopped into pieces by Cao Cao, as if he was venting his anger on the table as if it were Xu You.

"You barking bastard, I will definitely take your head one day!!"

Cao Cao shouted angrily, then put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and his expression quickly calmed down. This made Cheng Yu frightened and afraid, and he dared not look directly at him.

More importantly, Cheng Yu noticed that General Xiahou disappeared a few days ago. Coupled with the news that Cao Song and his family moved to Qingzhou, Cheng Yu had a vague guess.

"The lord may have adopted the plan I once proposed."

However, Cheng Yu did not dare to speak out, let alone ask about anything related to it. He just bowed his head and saluted. "What do you want, my lord?"

"Zhongde, come and sit down."

Cao Cao pulled Cheng Yu to a clean corner to sit down in a friendly manner, and then he asked.

"Just now I suggested Zhongde to stay because I wanted to ask about the preparation of military rations for the army."

Cheng Yu felt a little nervous and asked, pretending to be ignorant.

"My lord, are you planning to lend the rations to Yuan Shu's 30,000 troops?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and asked in a calm tone.

"Can the food supplies for an army of 100,000 be properly raised?" Cao Cao's answer almost indirectly confirmed a guess in Cheng Yu's mind.

Given the current situation, where can the 100,000-strong army be used? The answer is self-evident.

"One hundred thousand... maybe it's still a little short..."

Cheng Yu carefully chose his words, and seeing that Cao Cao's expression was slightly gloomy, he quickly replied.

"But as long as we borrow a little from fellow villagers during the war, it won't be a big problem."

"Okay, okay. I'll trouble Zhongde to take care of it."

Cao Cao forced a smile on his face, which made Cheng Yu feel a little chilly and awed.

There are people like Lu Bu who killed his father.

But in this situation, Cao Cao remained so calm and never revealed any flaws to the outside world. This is why Cheng Yu was in awe of Cao Cao's cold-hearted nature.

After watching Cheng Yu carefully retreat, Cao Cao narrowed his slender eyes and murmured.

"I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me... For the sake of Cao's cause, what does this matter?"

That night.

Xiahou Dun returned to Linzi under the pretext of inspecting the surrounding areas and reported to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao met with Xiahou Dun as usual, listened to his report on the progress of the suppression of bandits, and then let Xiahou Dun return home to rest as usual.

The next day, Cao Cao met with Xu You and Yang Hong again as usual, and began to discuss the details of borrowing troops and sending troops.

So, three days later.

Just as the details of borrowing and sending troops were being finalized, with only a few minor issues left, Xu You and Yang Hong were ready to finalize the deal with Cao Cao today.

Cao Ang, who was sent by Cao Cao to the border of Qingzhou to meet Cao Song two days ago, suddenly rushed into the meeting room in a panic, crying loudly.

"Father, something happened!"

Cao Cao first frowned in dissatisfaction, then shouted in a low voice.

"I am discussing important matters with two envoys. How dare you barge in so rudely? What's the matter..."

Suddenly, Cao Cao paused, his slender eyes widened, and he shouted at Cao Ang.

"Didn't your father send you to welcome your grandfather? Why did you come back alone..."

When he said this, Cao Cao visibly shook his body in front of everyone. He stood up and walked quickly down, looked outside past Cao Ang, and asked with some fear and anxiety.

"Aunger, where is my father? Where is my father?"

Cao Ang bowed his head to the ground, weeping and not daring to speak, he only said, "Please take care of yourself, father."

Cao Cao suddenly became furious, kicked Cao Ang, and asked, "Where is your grandfather? Answer me quickly."

Cao Ang answered while crying.

"Ang waited at the border for many days, but did not see his grandfather coming. He had no choice but to send scouts to Langya to inquire about the news. He learned that his grandfather had been attacked in a temple outside Dongguan County four days ago..."

"My grandfather and uncle were both killed. When the scouts found their bodies in the temple, they had been exposed to the sun for four days."

Suddenly, the grief and anger that had been accumulating in Cao Cao's heart for several days burst out at once. He spat out a mouthful of blood in public and shouted loudly.

"It hurts so much..."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao fell straight back and landed right on Cao Ang.

Everyone rushed forward, only to see Cao Cao's face pale as he fainted from grief and anger. (End of this chapter)
