Cao Yu's so-called 'killing three birds with one stone' was truly a great insult.
The first bird was the defeated Lu Bu, and the second was Dong Zhuo, who was about to be instigated by him. The most pitiful one was actually the big bird of the alliance army.
Cao Yu had let Lu Bu go so that he could continue to stop the dukes.
Everything was about timing.
This was even more necessary to break through!
He had already written the script.
……
Back to camp!
Since Li Cunxiao's mission was completed, Cao Yu did not want to continue messing around with the dukes.
After all, he still wanted to face so many hesitant gazes. At first, Cao Yu had planned to go in and watch the show, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave the rest to his father.
He brought Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun back, but Cao Cao was caught in the crossfire of the dukes just as he had expected.
Yuan Shao was holding a cup of tea, his face filled with joy from defeating Lu Bu, but at the same time, he was filled with endless doubts.
This Old Cao is really something!
The person who had defeated Hua Xiong before was Zhao Yun, but that was Gongsun Zan's original subordinate. It could only be said that it was a coincidence.
But this time, Li Cunxiao, he couldn't explain it, right?
Could he say that it was a mistake?
"Meng De, I didn't expect that the brave general who defeated Lu Bu was hiding in your tent.”
"Why didn't you invite him out earlier?"
Yuan Shao's tone more or less carried a bit of resentment, clearly telling him to figure it out himself.
If he couldn't explain it, he definitely wouldn't be able to make it today!
……
Not only Yuan Shao, Ma Teng also stood up with a half-smile, his tone extremely strange.
"Meng De, it was you who failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the past, but was able to escape Luoyang safely under Lu Bu's pursuit.”
"At first, I thought that it was God's blessing. Now, it seems that you don't need God!”
Cao Cao was speechless. What kind of experience was that?
However, he was glad that Cao Yu was not around.
If this child was here, he would probably be the one in trouble.
This was what it meant to be a father.
He had the heart of a loving father.
After a pause, Cao Cao suddenly smiled.
The more awkward it was, the more he laughed.
"Alliance Master, Shoucheng, everyone."
"Actually, that matter back then was really just luck. When I escaped to Luoyang, I relied on Dong Chan's token.”
"Lu Bu chased me because he came out late.”
"It has nothing to do with the person today!"
Yuan Shu raised the corner of his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up."Nothing to do with it?"
"Meng De, I believe you. When you were young, you were a cruel official. The bandits in the area under your jurisdiction were skinned and pulled out by you one by one.”
"Assassinating Dong Zhuocan is not a problem for you.”
……
The so-called " cruel officials " were officials who used severe punishments and harsh laws in ancient times. It was one of the strategies used in history to crack down on gangs.
Cruel officials specialized in fighting against despots, and their achievements were mostly outstanding, especially in strengthening public security. It had three characteristics. First, it was relatively clean. Second, they were fond of using heavy laws and were not afraid of the strong. They dared to deal with those who did not obey the law, especially the wealthy and noble families. Third, almost all of them did not end up well.
Therefore, cruel officials were not a bad word. As for Cao Cao, as Yuan Shu had said, he was ruthless when he was young, but he was smart. He felt that his achievements were almost enough and immediately changed his profession.
Fast and successful.
This was also one of the key reasons why Dong Zhuo had chosen him.
……
Yuan Shu had put in a good word for him, but Cao Cao didn't dare to lower his guard. Everyone knew that Yuan Shu had lost a lot of food. For his own personal gain, he had even disregarded Sun Jian's life and had taken away his rations.
Then what more could Cao Cao do?
Why did she have to speak up for him?
As expected, Yuan Shu's words were only pleasant to hear in the first half. After a pause, the meaning changed.
"But Meng De, you have to say something about what happened today, right? That general could have defeated Lu Bu, but you didn't send him out earlier.”
"Losing troops and weakening our strength?”
"You're not that kind of person, are you?"
Yuan Shu's sarcasm was vividly reflected at this moment.
Cao Cao really wanted to give him a good beating.
What are you saying!
……
Just now, he felt as if he was being stabbed in the back, but now, with Yuan Shu's words, he felt as if he was being pointed at by thousands of people.
If it were anyone else, they would have already panicked.
Of course, Cao Cao was no exception. However, he had actually settled down.
They didn't want to get better!
Then it was all very good.
If you guys are fooling around, can't I just show you my skills?
Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao spoke.
Although the smile on his face did not change, there was an additional layer of indescribable obscurity and straightforwardness.
"Everyone, I know that all of you must be thinking that I, Cao, am hiding something.”
"But I can tell you that it's not like that.”
"Because before I sent this general out, I had already prepared a coffin for him!”
"If any of you don't believe me, I don't mind sending the longevity material to your tents for testing!”
……
Damn it!
Isn't this nonsense?
As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the vassals looked askance at him.
It was obvious that he was talking nonsense, but they didn't dare to say anything. If they questioned him now, Cao Cao would really get a coffin to block the entrance of their barracks. That would be unbearable.
Coffin, promotion and wealth.
Although the meaning of the folk was good, it was still a Dark Artifact after all. Who would want to be tainted by this bad luck?
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Just this?
They didn't say anything, but Cao Cao had an unreasonable attitude.
He walked to Yuan Shu in two steps and said with a wicked smile,"Gong Dao, why don't I send it to you for a test?”
Yuan Shu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't! Meng De!"
"I've already told you!"
Cao Cao smiled and turned to Ma Teng. This time, Ma Teng reacted faster.
He immediately beat him to it and shook his head."Meng De, I believe you!”
Cao Cao didn't say anything else. He lightly glanced at Yuan Shao, which shocked him. Fortunately, Cao Cao didn't make things difficult for him.
Leave a line, so that we can meet again in the future.
Today's alliance army still had to be led by Yuan Shao. He needed to take care of his superior's face.
Following Cao Cao's reckless actions, the dukes also let this matter pass, at least on the surface.
On the other side, Cao Yu was leisurely talking to a mysterious man in black.
……
In Cao Yu's barracks!
When he returned, this person was already waiting in the camp. Although it was 10 in the day, the person was wrapped in a black robe.
His face was still covered by a mask, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
Of course, if one were to pay close attention, what was displayed in the gaps of his black robe was another exquisite embroidery. A monster with a dragon's head and a fish's tail was writhing in the waves, wrapped in brocade clothes!
