Cao Cao: Zian Is Really the Unfilial Son of the Cao Family! (Evaluation votes)
Runan County, Ruyin City.
Cao Cao appointed Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin as generals, leading 50,000 infantry and more than 8,000 cavalry.
As the tens of thousands of Cao soldiers marched forward, they finally reached the edge of the battlefield.
Seeing Cao Ren coming up to welcome him, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh proudly.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen Zixiao for months. I didn't expect Zixiao's art of war to advance to such a level.”
"Even Ru Yin City has been breached, which saves us a lot of trouble.”
Cao Ren cupped his hands in embarrassment.
"This, I don't dare to take credit. It's all thanks to Zian and the others that we broke through Ru Yin City.”
"Hmph, I didn't know that brat. It's already good enough that he didn't cause trouble.”
Cao Cao waved his hand, thinking that Cao Ren was asking for credit for his disappointing son.
Guo Jia and Xun You, who had come with the army, also smiled faintly.
It seemed that his lord really cared about this son of his.
Cao Ren's forehead was covered in sweat, and he didn't know how to tell Cao Cao.
As Cao Xuan had already left the camp, he quickly helped Cao Cao to lead the horse.
"My lord, this Ru Yin City was indeed taken down by Zi 'an and the others.”
"I'm not lying. Zi 'an asked me to help him feign attacks for several days, causing the defenders of Ru Yin City to be exhausted.”
"Xiahou En took advantage of the night to enter the city and open the gates. Xiahou Hui led his army into Ru Yin City, and not only did he take it, he also captured Chen Ji and Chen Lan.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"There is a bit of a strange art of war, but in the end, it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall.”
"Zixiao, you should be the clearest about what Yuan Shu's subordinates are like.”
"That Chen Ji and Chen Lan are as timid as mice and will definitely open the city to surrender.”
Although Cao Cao said so, everyone could see the joy on his face.
A group of people followed Cao Cao into Ru Yin City.
Just as Cao Ren was hesitating on how to speak, Cao Cao suddenly pointed at a place in the city.
"Zixiao, are those Yuan Shu's surrendered soldiers? Not bad, not bad. We can expand our forces again.”
"Eh? The grain in Ru Yin City was actually stored outside.”
"Could it be that you stabbed Yuan Shu's granary? Zixiao, you've done a great service this time.”
"Hahaha, I was worrying about food and fodder. Using the bandits 'resources to strengthen my army is very good!”
Cao Cao was delighted, but Cao Ren didn't say anything.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Cao Ren, who had a troubled expression on his face.
He couldn't help but ask,"Zixiao, why aren't you happy about the big victory?"”
"This…"
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and looked like he was going to risk everything.
"Big brother, let me be frank."
"Ru Yin City doesn't have any resources at all.”
"As for what you've seen, it's all true."
"It's all Zian's fault."
"Eh?"
Cao Cao had yet to react when he heard Cao Ren say,
The confusion on his face became even more apparent. He asked in confusion,
"Oh, that's a good thing. Wait, what did you say? It's not Yuan Shu's."
"Where did these surrendered soldiers and supplies come from?”
Cao Ren nodded with a bitter smile.
"Indeed not."
"What exactly happened? Hurry up and tell me!”
"Cao Zian, that bastard, did he get into trouble again?”
Seeing Cao Ren's troubled expression, Cao Cao couldn't help but curse.
Xun You and Guo Jia also exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a trace of doubt.
Not Yuan Shu's? Could it be that it was a bandit or a landlord?
If it was the former, Cao Ren wouldn't have such an expression.
It was likely that this arrogant Second Young Master had robbed some prestigious family.
"Eldest, Eldest Brother, after we took down Ru Yin half a month ago, Zian, he…"
"He has already left the camp without permission. I ordered people to chase after him but to no avail. As for these troops and rations,"
"I've asked carefully. Zian seems to have robbed Liu Bei's granary.”
Cao Cao was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, Cao Ren, who was quick with his hands and eyes, helped him sit properly.
He was so angry that the whip in his hand kept trembling as he cursed.
"Rebel! This unfilial son had actually robbed Liu Bei of his rations!”
"How do you want me to explain this to Envoy Liu? What an unfilial son. Do you want the entire world to curse me, Cao Cao, for being a traitor?”
"My lord, do not be angry!"
"General Cao Ren, quickly find a place for the lord to rest.”
A moment later, inside Ru Yin City Lord Manor.
Cao Cao sat in the main seat of the hall, one hand on his forehead.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials gathered together, but no one dared to speak first.
After a moment of silence, Cao Cao murmured,"
"Where is that unfilial son now?”
Cao Ren quickly stood up, feeling so awkward that his scalp went numb.
"I don't know for the time being. I only know that Zi 'an captured Yong City and there has been no news since.”
Xiahou Dun also stood up and cupped his hands at Cao Cao."
"My Lord, although Zian was wrong this time, he had done a good job in conquering Ru Yin. It's better to find him first and deal with him later.”
Cao Cao grunted. He didn't give any face to anyone.
"Are you afraid that Liu Xuande will eat them? If that's the case, I have to thank Liu Bei for helping me discipline this unfilial son.”
"This..."
"Humph, Liu Xuande is known for his benevolence and righteousness. He won't kill a few people because of this.”
Seeing Cao Cao like this, even Xiahou Dun did not dare to say anything.
After a moment of silence, Xun You stood up and said.
"My lord, this time, we should focus on conquering Yuan Shu and subduing Yuzhou.”
"I've also learned a little about the Second Young Master's matter. Other than some casualties, he didn't have any major conflicts with Liu Bei.”
"It's not that there's no room for relaxation. The most important thing now is to send troops to attack Huaibei as soon as possible.”
"If not, there will be a rift between us and Liu Bei. It will be hard to avoid people suspecting that we have bad intentions. When the allied forces against Yuan Shu collapse, there will be a risk of defeat.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a moment before sighing,"
"Forget it, forget it. I'll explain to Liu Bei after I capture this unfilial son.”
"The army should immediately move towards the north of the Huai River.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone hurriedly greeted him in unison.
When everyone left, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth suddenly curled up slightly.
His eyes lit up for a moment before disappearing.
