Laozi of the Three Kingdoms is the Emperor

Chapter 296 Take a Gamble!
Less than a hundred miles away from Lingling County, Cao Cao is leading his people towards Lingling quickly.

This was originally his plan to appear unexpectedly. In Cao Cao's view, no one would have thought that he would appear in Lingling at such a time.

original.

Cao Cao just wanted to do something new with Liu Xie at the same time, but he didn't expect that the actions he made unintentionally actually took into account what you were going to do with Liu Xie.

When he received the news of the battle in Changsha City, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that Liu Xie was not as smart as he thought.

He can easily calculate what he wants to do by doing small tricks at will, which gives him a lot of confidence.

In fact.

After the last failure, Cao Cao once began to doubt himself, whether in front of this emperor, he could not gain the upper hand anyway.

After all.

Cao Cao still has a deep fear of Liu Xie from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps this kind of fear will always follow him, until one day his position and Liu Xie reach a balance, if this day can come...

When Cao Cao was less than tens of miles away from Lingling City, he suddenly received an urgent report from Xu Huang.

Cao Cao just glanced at it, and immediately ordered the army to stop. At the same time, he summoned Guo Jia and others to discuss with the fastest speed.

"My lord, what happened?" Guo Jia frowned, and asked Cao Cao who was in the carriage first.

To know.

What they were planning this time was the emperor, and they must not waste their time easily. Cao Cao suddenly stopped the army at such a time, and something important must have happened.

"I have a piece of good news to tell you, but this news is so good that it can kill you!" Cao Cao said word by word while staring at everyone present.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what Cao Cao meant by these words.

And they also really want to know what kind of good news is good enough to kill someone!

"My lord, please make it clear!" Guo Jia was silent for a moment, then bowed his hands to Cao Cao again.

"I just received Xu Huang. Huang Zhong's ambush in Changsha was very successful. They not only captured Yuwen Chengdu, who gave us a headache, but also Zhang Han, the leader of the shadow guards who made people fearful, and Li Guang, the archer under the emperor. , and tens of thousands of troops!"

"Huang Zhong not only captured them, but also brought these people to Lingling City, saying that he wanted to use these people in exchange for his son. Do you think this news is good news?"

After hearing Cao Cao's words, everyone present fell into a commotion.

Everyone's face was full of extreme shock, especially Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.

These two are the people who have the most information about Liu Xie and the others, so of course they know how important the few people Cao Cao just mentioned are.

Simultaneously.

The two also understood exactly what Cao Cao meant by these words.

If Huang Zhong caught one of them, they might not have any doubts at all, and would believe that Huang Zhong had followed them with all his heart.

But it's different now, only one Huang Zhong has captured most of Liu Xie's capable generals, is such a thing possible?

Not to mention the famous Shadow Secret Guard Commander Zhang Han, it is almost impossible for Huang Zhong to catch him just because of Yuwen Chengdu!

But the fact now is that these people were all arrested by Huang Zhong, and there are tens of thousands of troops!

If it must be the current situation, then there is only one possibility.

That is, Huang Zhong and these people are likely to be cooperating, and they want to get rid of Cao Cao in this way!

obviously.

The reason why Cao Cao said such words is to express this meaning!
"But my lord, there is one problem that doesn't make sense!" At this moment, Cheng Yu hesitated and stood up and said in a low voice.

"The news that we are coming is only known to Xu Huang. If there is something wrong with it, doesn't that prove..."

He didn't continue to say the following words. He knew in his heart that with the intelligence of Cao Cao and everyone, he naturally knew what he would say next.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even if Xu Huang is fine, others will probably know the news!" Cao Cao shook his head slowly, not agreeing with Cheng Yu's opinion.

"However, Huang Zhong's son is in the hands of the lord. For this son, Huang Zhong paid a lot of price. Is it possible that at this time, the other party will send his son to death because of cooperating with the emperor?" Cheng Yu seemed a little unwilling, and spoke again.

This time.

Both Cao Cao and Guo Jia fell into silence. They had to admit that what Cheng Yu said just now was very reasonable.

The reason why Huang Zhong was under their control with peace of mind was because they had each other's weakness in their hands.

If Huang Zhong really didn't care about his son's life or death, there was no need for him to cooperate with them from the very beginning.

more importantly.

The reason why they doubt Huang Zhong now is because the other party's contribution is too great.

But if you think about it the other way around, things can also have another explanation.

A person like Huang Zhong doesn't care about fame and wealth at all, he just wants to protect his weak son. For this reason, he tried his best and almost defeated all the people under the emperor, hoping to get his son back in this way!

The two results they are talking about now are their own guesses, but the consequences of these two guesses are completely different.

On the one hand, there are tens of thousands of troops and the right-hand man of the enemy, on the other hand, they can get nothing, and their work is in vain.

How to choose, in fact, after Cheng Yu said these words, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

"My lord...you still need to make a decision on this matter!" Guo Jia took a deep breath, looked at Cao Cao and said very seriously.

Obviously, Guo Jia also gave up his suggestion. This kind of critical decision still needs Cao Cao to make a decision himself!

"Go ahead!" After a long silence, Cao Cao finally took a deep breath and gave the order again.

Under such a huge temptation, Cao Cao still chose to believe in Huang Zhong!
not to mention.

They have brought tens of thousands of troops now, even if things change in the end, he has every chance to turn the tide.

Now that he already has a way out, he can take a gamble.

Just like what Cheng Yu said, what if Huang Zhong really did his best this time?

If this is the case, their confrontation with Liu Xie will undergo a fundamental change...
