"Twenty boxes?" Cao Yu stepped forward and said,"Why did you take so long to open them?"”
The moon was already high in the sky!
Therefore, Cao Yu doubted Butler Li Fu's ability.
He was even wondering if he should go to the refugee market and hire another butler who was stronger than Li Fu.
The Bu Lian Master was stunned." Husband, it's forty chests!" he said.”
This time, it was Cao Yu's turn to be stunned.
"Not twenty?"
Cao Yu remembered it clearly.
At that time, there were only twenty boxes piled up in that courtyard.
Why did it double out of thin air when they reached home?
"The twenty gold silks, pearls, and jades were rewarded by the Prime Minister. What about the rest?”
Cao Yu asked.
"It was given to me by the old general of the Xiahou family."”
After hearing his wife's answer, Cao Yu was speechless.
The old general was in charge of logistics. How could he be so rich?
Could it be corruption?
"Put the box that the old general gave you in the side room.”
Cao Yu was getting more and more confused.
He had a feeling that this logistics manager seemed to have a lot of connections.
After thinking for a long time, Cao Yu had no idea.
"Forget it, let's go down and rest first. We'll count it tomorrow!”
Cao Yu waved his hand.
Only then did everyone disperse and close the doors of the hall.
The night passed.
Early morning.
From time to time, the sound of cocks and dogs barking could be heard from the city.
The sky was about to brighten.
Cao Yu stood up and went to the front yard.
Butler Li Fu had been waiting for a long time.
"Patriarch, do you want to continue counting the belongings?”
Cao Yu nodded.
Old man Li Fu immediately got to work.
After Cao Yu finished his breakfast, he finished counting his belongings and recorded them down.
Cao Yu bade farewell to his family and prepared to return to the camp along the river.
Not long after he stepped out of the city gate, someone chased after him.
He turned around and saw that it was the old general.
"Zixiu."
Cao Cao galloped over.
"I have arranged for two hundred elite soldiers and four agile maids to come to your residence.”
"How about we listen to Madam Zi Xiu's commands?”
Last night, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that Cao Yu only had an old butler and 88 servants.
After much consideration, Cao Cao decided to arrange another two hundred soldiers to guard the mansion.
He also chose four maids who had some skills to protect his daughter-in-law.
When he arrived at Cao Yu's residence, the butler Li Fu reported that the Lieutenant General had already left the city.
Only then did Cao Cao pursue.
"Thank you, old general."
Cao Yu really did not know what to say.
Even his own son might not receive such treatment, right?
He thought for a moment and said,"Old General, you are in charge of logistics, grain transportation, and supply. Don't make any mistakes."”
Otherwise, Cao Cao might not have spared him.
After all, Boss Cao had a precedent of targeting grain transportation officers.
Taking the head of the grain transport officer to stabilize the morale of the army was something that this Cao could easily do.
"Zixiu is worrying too much. Don't worry and return to the camp!”
Cao Cao laughed and rode back to the city.
Cao Yu shook his head and rode his horse towards the camp.
Hopefully, he was worrying too much.
……
Jiangdong Army Water Stronghold.
After Han Ze returned, he told Huang Gai about the past.
Huang Gai was shocked.
"If it wasn't for Mister's ability to argue, then you would have suffered in vain.”
He felt a lingering fear.
"Tomorrow, we can summon Cai Zhong and Cai He into the tent, and then do this…"
Han Ze suggested.
Huang Gai was overjoyed.
"This plan is brilliant."
The next day.
Cai Zhong and Cai He entered the yellow tent.
Huang Gai gritted his teeth." Zhou Yu is too proud of his talent to care about River East.”
"I'll assist Jiang Dong the Third, and I'll be ashamed to see the people of Jiang Zuo in the future.”
After saying that, Huang Gai slammed the table and cursed.
Han Ze quickly comforted Huang Gai." Be careful with your words, the walls have ears.”
Huang Gai lowered his head and remained silent.
Then, he let out a long sigh.
Cai Zhong saw that Huang Gai seemed to have the intention to rebel, so he asked tentatively,"Could it be that General wants to betray Jiangdong and join Cao Cao?”
Han Ze immediately turned pale with fright.
Huang Gai also drew his sword and stepped forward." The matter has been leaked. I have no choice but to kill you two to silence you!"”
"General," said Cai Zhong in alarm,"we were sent by the Prime Minister to feign surrender.”
Cai He also said,"If General and Mister have the heart to submit, the two of us will bring them in!"”
"Is that really the case?" Han Ze said happily.
The two of them hurriedly nodded, like chicks pecking at rice.
He was afraid that he would be killed if he was a step too slow.
Huang Gai looked up to the sky and shouted,"The heavens are helping me!"”
At this moment, Cai Zhong explained to Huang Gai,"I have already reported the matter of the General being humiliated to the Prime Minister."”
Kan Ze also took the opportunity to tell Cai Zhong and Cai He,"I have also written to the Prime Minister for you."”
So the four of them drank together and talked about the things in their hearts.
After that, Cai Zhong immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to secretly cross the river and deliver it to Cao Cao.
Kan Ze also wrote another book, only said that Huang Gai wanted to go, but did not get the opportunity.
If there is a boat coming, the bow is full of green tooth flags, it is the yellow cover to throw.
The two letters arrived on Cao Cao's table one after another.
After Cao Cao finished browsing, he hesitated.
Hence, he called Xun You over.
"Gongda, Jiang Zuo Huang Gai was humiliated by Zhou Yu.”
Cao Cao explained.
"I know that this person is pretending to surrender. I want to plan again, but I don't have a good plan.”
He wanted to ask Xun You for his opinion.
Xun You thought for a while and cupped his hands." Why don't you send Jiang Gan to the River East Stronghold to investigate the situation?"”
"Zhou Yu will definitely make use of Jiang Gan again. When Jiang Gan returns, the Prime Minister will ask him about it and then we will deal with him.”
At present, Jiang Gan still did not know that he had been repeatedly used by Zhou Yu and the Prime Minister.
It was good to send this person over.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately ordered Jiang Gan to continue on his boat towards the water stronghold of the Jiangdong Army.
Jiang Gan thought that the Prime Minister wanted to put him in an important position, so he immediately agreed.
A small boat sailed down the river and arrived outside Zhou Yu's water stronghold…
