Chapter 71: Chapter Thirty-Five: Cao Cao's Doubts (2)
"Come here, bring General Wei Chen Ken."
After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao spoke.
"promise."
The guard outside the door agreed and immediately went to work.[
General Wei is one of the Nine Qings, and is one of the officials responsible for the palace guards. Others with the same responsibilities include General Hu Ben, Zhi Jinwu, Lieutenant, etc. However, he currently has real power and is placed in the palace for Cao Cao.
.Only Wei General Chen Ken.
Chen Ken was not of high origin, but he was Cao Cao's good friend in Qiao County. The two had a good personal relationship. Since Cao Cao became famous, Chen Ken has also changed his role, from a good friend to a loyal general.
After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he began to serve as general of the guard. It was obviously to protect the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but in fact he was Cao Cao's biggest eyes and ears. Chen Ken could not hide any troubles in the palace.
Cao Cao's orders were always efficient. Even if the other party was General Wei, it could be said to be more effective than the Emperor's orders. Soon, the guards led Chen Ken in.
"Ming Gong." After Chen Ken came in, he immediately saluted Cao Cao and said.
"Sit." Cao Cao nodded and pointed to the place where Xun Yu sat just now.
Chen Ken nodded and sat down.
"I came to you this time to ask what happened in the palace recently? Especially about Zhao Yun." Cao Cao asked.
"Zhao Yun?" Chen Ken pondered for a moment before saying to Cao Cao: "I am afraid that I know as much about this person as Lord Sikong."
"Tell me about it." Cao Cao insisted.
"This Zhao Yun protected the safety of the village when the Yellow Turbans rose. Later, at the request of the villagers, he led his people to defect to Gongsun Zan. He was elected as the captain. In the end, he may have foreseen that Gongsun Zan would be destroyed by Yuan Shao, so he resigned with an excuse.
I'm in the countryside. I've been white since then," Chen Ken said.
This bit of news was obtained by Chen Ken after he found out about Cao's intelligence network after knowing that Zhao Yun was appointed as the captain. Cao Cao must also know this.
"Yeah." Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, a little disappointed. He did know all this.
"Did something strange happen in the palace?" But Cao Cao still refused to give up and asked.
"There is indeed something strange. The prince's family was ordered to go to Hebei and brought back six pure white donkeys. This Zhao Yun was also brought back by the prince's family."
Chen Ken thought for a moment and said.
"Pure white donkey? Zhao Yun returned it with you?" Cao Cao had a thoughtful look in his eyes when he heard this. He really didn't know about this matter.
It's not that his network is insufficient, but because it is too small. The prince's family order is too inconspicuous, so no one will pay attention to it.
"By the way, the emperor also ordered the construction of a chariot, which was specially pulled by the six white donkeys. It was said to be a carriage for the prince." Then, Chen Ken remembered something strange again and couldn't help but say.[
Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that someone really wanted to use this pure white donkey. This reminded Cao Cao of the absurd and unruly emperor Xiaoling.
The absurd emperor who almost ruined the Han Dynasty.
The emperor's car was also pulled by six pure white donkeys. It was very dazzling.
"Is this prince really so proud of his favor? Perhaps he inherited the bloodline of Emperor Xiaoling and really has this hobby?" Cao Cao was quite confused.
But at least, this matter has some explanation.
It may be that after the prince's family ordered Fudian to go to Hebei, he saw that Zhao Yun was a warrior and recruited generals for the prince. At least, Zhao Yun was also a general under Gongsun Zan in the past, and he was probably capable.
This seems to have nothing to do with Jia Xu. But why was Jia Xu chosen to be the prince's young master? Cao Cao did not solve this doubt.
