Chapter 120 Jagged killing, Cao Cao's beauty plan!
The Chu army has not yet arranged to attack the city, so Cao Cao and his party entered Qiao County without encountering any obstacles.
Cao Ren, the general of Cao's army, received the news of Cao Cao's return and led his troops ten miles out of Qiao County to welcome him:
"Welcome to the Marquis of Wei!"
"Welcome to the Marquis of Wei!!"
Yanzhou civil and military officials fell to their knees.
Cao Cao laughed on his horse and said: "I have you all, Qiaojun is as stable as Mount Tai!"
"Lord! Chen Qingzhi retreated immediately when he saw the Qiao County city wall was more than ten feet tall!"
"He is self-aware, Qiao County can definitely be defended!"
Generals such as Cao Ren and Cao Hong were all heroes of the moment and knew how to use troops.
Cao Cao nodded slightly: "The walls are strong and the country is clear, and we never go to war. You have done a good job. I already know it. I am here today just for the sake of Qiao County..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a young general walking out of Yanzhou Civil and Military Palace and stammered: "The last general... the last general... the last general.
.....Think......"
"Who is this person? How dare he come out in front of the Marquis of Wei and embarrass himself?"
"Then boy...can you speak!?"
"Who knows this guy?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him!"
The civil and military officials in Yanzhou listened patiently for a long time, but this young general didn't even finish his sentence.
Many people immediately cast disdainful glances at him.
"Speak slowly..."
Cao Cao chuckled and said, "What is your name and what are your thoughts? Tell me slowly after you return to Qiao County!"
The young man looked gratefully at Cao Cao who helped him to rescue him, but Qiqi Ai Ai said firmly: "The last general...Deng Ai!"
"Deng Ai!?"
Cao Cao and Deng Ai rode together and asked, "Do you seem to have a different opinion about Qiaojun?"
Deng Ai took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and said: "If the Marquis of Wei wants to defend Qiao County, he will die without a burial place!"
"oh!?"
Cao Cao's thick eyebrows jumped, and Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai next to him actually looked at Deng Ai in surprise.
The generals of Yanzhou were all rejoicing for Cao Cao's return.
It seems that with Cao Cao's presence, he can withstand the Chu army's crazy attack on Qiao County.
But this is not the case.
Qiao County in Yanzhou is located in the place where the Four Wars took place. If Liu Hao had temporarily put aside Yuan Shao and used an army of tens of thousands to drive out Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would have narrowly escaped death.
Cao Cao only had the land of Yanzhou and Sili, plus half of Yuzhou, but Liu Hao owned the land of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou!
Even most of the land of Yuzhou has been conquered by Chen Qingzhi!
"If you don't have immediate worries, you will have far-off difficulties!"
Deng Ai's eyes sparkled with stars. He finally stopped stuttering and said resolutely: "Marquis of Wei, defend Qiao County to your death. You can defend it for three months at most. You have to abandon Qiao County before the King of Chu reacts!!"
Chen Qingzhi's troops are as motionless as a mountain and as mobile as thunder!
Venomous snakes never show their teeth easily!
There is no siege now because Chen Qingzhi is preparing to gather all his strength and prepare to kill Qiao County with one blow!
Cao Ren and other generals who guarded the city conscientiously did not know this.
Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and other core advisers knew it.
Cao Cao was silent for a while, then suddenly he put his hands on his hands and laughed, patted Deng Ai on the shoulder, and said: "I have Deng Shizai (Deng Ai's cousin) to help me, so why worry about the big thing failing!?"
Cheng Yu and others also clasped their fists together on horseback to congratulate, saying: "Congratulations, lord, for getting another great talent!"
Cao Cao took the newly acquired Wen Yang, Deng Ai, and a group of civil and military ministers from Yanzhou. Instead of going home to take a look, Cao Cao went directly to the meeting hall of the Marquis of Wei Mansion and gave two orders: "First, Qiao
All the officials in the county prepared their families and rushed to Luoyang City overnight before Chen Qingzhi surrounded him!"
"Second, no matter what method I use, it will be of great use to me to find a beautiful woman with a beautiful country and a fragrant beauty!!"
After giving the above two instructions, Cao Cao's little eyes suddenly narrowed and he smiled calmly: "Man Boning (Man Chong), you have both ability and political integrity. I will leave it to you to prepare these two things, especially the second one.
Never neglect things!"
"My lord, I obey!"
Man Chong bowed low and exited the hall.
However, an old minister in the hall stood up and advised earnestly: "The hero of the Marquis of Wei is in this world, and it is a time of crisis. He is still looking for beautiful women to play with. I am afraid it will shake the morale of the army. It is very inappropriate. Please
The Marquis of Wei takes back his life!"
"Please Wei Hou take back his life!"
"Please Wei Hou take back his life!"
Many stubborn old officials under Cao Cao stood up, prostrated themselves in front of the audience, and tried hard to persuade him.
"hehe!"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "I didn't find this beauty for myself...but on the first point, do you have any objections?"
"My parents are here and I won't travel far away. I...will stay in Qiao County and take care of the clan!"
"The same is true for me. The old orders of the clan cannot be violated!"
This was obviously because they were afraid of the Chu army's attack. Among the disciples of the powerful families in Qiao County, there were still many people who were unwilling to go to Luoyang with Cao Cao.
After all, Liu Hao was targeting Cao Cao, the Marquis of Wei, and had nothing to do with their Qiaojun magnates.
Isn’t it flattering for Cao Cao to run away and follow his new and more powerful boss, King Chu?
"hehe!"
Cao Cao smiled slightly and didn't say much. He just waved his hand and said, "Today's meeting is temporarily suspended!"
Everyone in the hall dispersed in a hurry.
Cao Cao's face darkened, he raised his hand, called Cao Hong, and lowered his voice and said: "Zilian (Cao Hong's cousin), you are my brother, I can trust you completely. These people are cheating, and if a disaster is imminent, they must betray you and me.
....Do you know how to do it!?"
Cao Hong was greedy and violent by nature, so he obeyed Cao Cao's advice. He immediately understood and said with a ferocious smile: "It's better to kill such villains and confiscate all their wealth. Wouldn't it be a good thing!"
