Tempted?
Of course Cao Cao was tempted!
Although he had obtained a lot of money and food in Runan, Cao Cao was still short of money!
All the soldiers under his command had to be heavily rewarded, otherwise, how could they maintain their exuberant fighting strength?
Although Cao Cao guessed that Zhao Mu was up to no good, he also knew that Zhao Mu would not reveal his intentions before he received any benefits.
Thinking about the money and food that Zhao Mu had promised, Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said,"Alright, I'll give you this military order! I'll allow you to do as you please!"
He paused.
"Jinglue, Qinghe is not young anymore. When are you going to give the betrothal gifts?" Cao Cao asked. I don't have high requirements for betrothal gifts. Just give me the remaining half of the money and food.”
Even Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai couldn't bear to watch anymore.
This betrothal gift was not demanding?
"Indeed, Qinghe isn't small anymore!" Zhao Mu smiled calmly. After the chaos in Yanzhou is over, I will give you the betrothal gifts. I will follow Cao Gong's request and give you the remaining half of the money and food, but only after the chaos is over.”
He actually agreed?
This time, not only Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, even Cao Cao was shocked!
Very quickly.
Cao Cao reacted and reminded him,""Jing Lue, you asked for the military order to act according to your own will.”
"Cao Gong, do I look like someone who would mess around?" Zhao Mu's eyes were filled with innocence.”
Pie won't fall from the sky. I think you look like it! Cao Cao secretly despised him.
Intuition told Cao Cao that Zhao Mu would definitely cause trouble, but when he thought of the remaining half of the money and food, Cao Cao held back.
After a pause, Cao Cao decided not to dwell on this problem anymore. He pointed at Xu Chu at the door and said,"Jinglue, what's with Xu Chu?”
"Oh, he's just a fierce general. I just happened to meet him. If I didn't go, Cao Gong would have met him.”Zhao Mu answered without hesitation.
Merely?
Was that called trifling?
How could a fierce general who could drag five bulls down be described with just two words?
My valiant general!
Cao Cao's heart was bleeding!
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai didn't understand Zhao Mu's words, but Cao Cao did!
If Zhao Mu did not go to Qiao County, Cao Cao would have met Xu Chu himself. Do you have any objections?
Taking a deep breath, Cao Cao forced a smile.
"Jing Lue, I lack a guard.”
"You have Dian Wei!"
"As the saying goes, two fists can't fight four hands!”
"You have Dian Wei!"
"Xu Chu's bravery should not be buried. I can give him an official position and make him a general.”
"You have Dian Wei!"
"A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he not be famous among the vassals?”
"You have Dian Wei!"
"I'm your future father-in-law. Can't you just give up on me?”
"You have Dian Wei!"
"Can't you change your reason?"
"Then, exchange it with Dian Wei?"
Zhao Mu blinked his eyes. His meaning was clear.
Even if you're my father-in-law, there's no way I can get Xu Chu, who I've worked so hard to get!
Unless he exchanged it with Dian Wei!
Cao Cao was so angry that his short beard was floating.
This kid, the fierce general who intercepted me, is still so righteous!
Damn it!
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai had already moved to a corner. It was not good for them to get involved in this matter.
On the contrary, Guo Jia, who was behind the curtain, was smiling.""I didn't expect that the 'treacherous, suspicious, vicious, and cruel Cao Gong' that Jing Lue spoke of had such an interesting side to him!”
"Jing Lue, are you deliberately saying this because you don't want me to be an official of the Duke of Cao?”
"Interesting!"
In the end.
Cao Cao was still unable to take Xu Chu away from Zhao Mu!
However, before he left, Cao Cao specially gave Xu Chu a short dagger. His intention to recruit him was self-evident!
After Cao Cao left the restaurant, Guo Jia came out from behind the curtain.
"Jing Lue, it seems that you have long expected the rebellion of the Yanzhou scholars. Or perhaps, you even know who is persuading Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou?”
"This time, you want to take advantage of the chaos in Yanzhou to secretly send troops to Yanzhou?”
Guo Jia hit the nail on the head and exposed Zhao Mu's thoughts.
"Haha!"
Zhao Mu drank his wine and laughed, not refuting Guo Jia's guess.
"Brother Fengxiao, you're really smart. You can even guess this?”
"When the opportunity comes, are you interested in accompanying me to Yanzhou?”
"I also want to see if your method of fighting the enemy is worthy of its name!”
Guo Jia shook his head, a hint of curiosity in his eyes."If you don't tell me anything, how can I fight the enemy? Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. At least let me know who our enemy is!”
"There's no harm in telling you.”Zhao Mu's expression turned serious." The traitor is Zhang Miao of Chen Liu!" he said.”
Zhang Miao?
"How is that possible?" Guo Jia was shocked. Although I haven't served Cao Gong, I know that Zhang Miao and Cao Gong are good friends who can entrust their lives to each other!”
"How could Zhang Miao betray the Duke of Cao?”
