Chapter 1122 Cao Cao kills three birds with one stone

Before the entire barracks was completely dismantled, Ren Jun finally came to Cao Cao's camp.Because he knew that the investigation of the case to this point was already his limit.Further down the investigation, it is not a case, but politics.

Ren Jun felt that politics was never something he could handle.And it was today that he suddenly understood why Cao Gong insisted on him to investigate this matter - he is a very measured person and knows how to stop in moderation.

At this time, Cao Cao was leaning on the couch, reading a book with relish, and the wine glass in front of him was still slightly steaming.So leisurely and comfortable, he really didn't see any signs of panic that Cao Jun was about to withdraw from Yanzhou.

"Boda, are you here?" Cao Cao put down the book and said kindly.

Ren Jun frowned slightly when he saw that the book Cao Cao was reading was the book "The Power of Kings Is Not Given by God" published by the Propaganda Department of the Majiali Ministry.However, the cautious mentality of staying away from politics made him quickly look away from the book, and said with a deep bow: "Ming Gong, my subordinates are incompetent. The investigation of the case can only bring about two inferences."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was obviously interested. Although he had already guessed this point in his heart, he was still very curious: "Tell me."

Ren Jun pondered for a moment. In this case, whether the mastermind was the Ma family or His Majesty, Cao Cao was in a dilemma: the news that the Ma family had acquired Youzhou had already reached Cao Jun's ears, and now Cao Jun had no strength to contend on the Jizhou battlefield.The only choice is to get rid of the hatred with the Ma family, and the two families will live in peace and seek development independently; and if the mastermind is really His Majesty, Cao Gong will not be able to do it.

In other words, among the insiders of this incident, only Ren Jun himself was in the most delicate situation, so he couldn't help but carefully consider some words.But Cao Cao seemed to see Ren Jun's worry, and said again: "Bo Da, but it's okay, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

Ren Jun gave a wry smile secretly, he couldn't stop this unconscious action at all-Cao Cao has always been an unpredictable person for Ren Jun, sometimes he is amiable, like an old friend for many years, sometimes he kills people without blinking an eye.

However, one thing is recognized, Mr. Cao is a smart man, and when talking to a smart man, it is best to tell the truth.From this, Ren Jun cupped his hands and said frankly: "Duke Ming, my subordinates infer that there are only two masterminds this time..." Ren Jun then unreservedly explained his investigation and inferences, even the ones he searched for. The token and other evidences were handed over to Cao Cao for review.

However, Cao Cao didn't even look at it. After listening to Ren Jun's report, he closed his eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's almost the same as I imagined. This kind of strife among princes and political conspiracy are the most exhausting and laborious. The Battle of Guandu is even more worrisome..."

Ren Jun nodded empathetically, and he very much agrees with this.However, at the same time, he also had a trace of fear in his heart.Because right now he needs a solution from Cao Cao. If Cao Cao can't say it at this time, Ren Jun understands that he, who knows too much, may be very dangerous.

Fortunately, Cao Cao saw Ren Jun's worries, and after thinking for a while, he asked a crucial question: "It seems that His Majesty is more suspicious... Then I want to know, if the Ma family Is it possible to imitate the token of the Red Eagle Cavalry?"

"It's not very likely," Ren Jun shook his head. His focus is very clear, and he only cares about conclusive evidence: "Not to mention that the Ma family has very little contact with the Yuan family, but to say that the shadow token of the Ma family and the token of the Yuan family The content of special metals is still somewhat different."

Ren Jun took out a piece of Yanzhou paper, took out the Majia shadow token and the red eagle riding token and drew two marks on it.Cao Cao saw that although the two tokens could draw marks on the white paper, it was obvious that the tokens of the shadow of the Ma family had deeper marks.

"Does this mean that the amount of metal doped in the two tokens is different?" Cao Cao immediately understood what Ren Jun meant, and quickly asked: "The tokens of the Red Eagle Cavalry and Jing'an Cao are mixed The portion is the same?"

"Same."

"Oh, in this case, there is no need to change the tokens of the Red Eagle Cavalry..." Ren Jun knew that Cao Cao was making a helpless joke, but he couldn't laugh.

"Boda, you don't need to be so worried." Seeing Ren Jun's moody look, Cao Cao waved his hands and said, "I said before that you and I are a family, and I won't have too many sinister thoughts about you." After a pause, Cao Cao also knew that these words were meaningless, and said again: "As you expected, how likely are Ma Chao and His Majesty to each other?"

"Ma Chao has a four-point chance of making a move, but Your Majesty..." Ren Jun will not talk about it later, this four-to-six probability is known to the enlightened child.

"Very good." Cao Cao fell into deep thought now, still lying casually on the couch, he was in a trance like a crouching tiger thinking about its prey, with a pair of deep eyes flashing with cunning and fierce light from time to time.It seemed like a long time, until Ren Jun felt the cold sweat behind him was about to drip into the ground, Cao Cao finally laughed.

"Zhicai, come out." Cao Cao clapped his hands and sat up straight.But Ren Jun was startled and couldn't help raising his head.

Xi Zhicai casually walked out from the screen where Cao Cao fell asleep, his face was still a little pale, but judging from his light steps, he was in a good mood.After bowing to Cao Cao, he said to Ren Jun, "Brother Boda, long time no see."

Ren Jun saluted politely, but he didn't understand what trick Cao Cao was playing.But Cao Cao didn't care about Ren Jun's presence at all, and said to Xi Zhicai with a smile: "You also heard what Boda said just now. The investigation has reached this point. From your professional point of view, do you need to continue the investigation? ?”

Xi Zhicai smiled, and replied lazily: "Duke Ming also has a plan in mind, why bother to ask?"

"So what should we do now?"

Xi Zhicai felt it was a waste to even speak this time, so he only spit out three words: "Scapegoat."

"That's right!" Cao Cao laughed again. This smile was full of a kind of domineering arrogance, and he was not at all separated because of his ambition. Bullhead!"

Ren Jun couldn't react for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood the meaning of Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai: Now the Ma family and His Majesty can't move, but the assassination of Duke Cao must be settled.Since neither of the two families can move, they must find a scapegoat to take the blame.

And at the moment, apart from Qingzhou Yuan Tan, who has the Red Eagle Cavalry defecting, who else is more suitable?

Although Mrs. Cao is tired up and down at this time, this handle can be buried.When the Cao family needs to annex Qingzhou, Jing'an Cao will be able to use this to make a very favorable public opinion offensive, and in one fell swoop all the unbearable anger of Jizhou will be poured into Qingzhou, which has been surrounded by the Cao family!

With Yuan Tan as the scapegoat, this incident came to an end with me, so I don't have to worry about my own safety.

Such a plan not only eased the hearts of his subordinates, but also avoided the direct confrontation between the Ma family and His Majesty that day, and temporarily hid the full advantage, laying a rough foundation for the next step of the Cao family's development.In a short period of time, Cao Gong came up with an ingenious plan to kill three birds with one stone and turn the world around. His wisdom really flowed like stars and moons, unfathomable.

"Boda, are you at ease now?" Cao Cao asked again with a smile, while Ren Jun knelt down to thank him.But Cao Cao didn't want to let it go, and said again: "Boda, I said, after this matter is over, I will give you the title of Marquis. After the army returns to Yanzhou, you can see your fief."

At this time, Ren Jun didn't know how to thank Cao Cao. After holding back the warmth in his chest, he was still grateful before leaving Cao Cao's tent.

But as soon as Ren Jun left, Cao Cao's face turned cold and stern, and asked Xi Zhicai quietly, "Where did Dian Wei really go?"

"good."

"Well..." Cao Cao stroked his short beard, and finally added: "Ma Mengqi is unstoppable, Dian Wei may not be able to win the battle alone, let Xu Chu go with him. There is no big thing to do here. Done……"
