Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Chapter 42 Liu Bei thirsts for talent, Chen Gong is in danger

"In this way, everyone will act according to the plan, and the outcome will be determined in one fell swoop."

That night, Cao Jun was busy all afternoon, and the thousands of noodles he made were thrown into the four directions of the small town.

The spies heard that there was a rush of looting when the noodles were just thrown into the city, and the chaotic scene was quickly suppressed.

After that, the city was as peaceful as ever, and I don't know what happened inside.

At this time, Liu Bei also received the news, and wondered why Cao Jun threw so many noodles in.

"Xianhe can guess what Cao Jun intends to do with this move?"

Jian Yong shook his head, he really didn't understand why Cao Jun wanted to send food to Lv Bu who was in short supply, and he also sent cooked pancakes, did he want to stalemate for a little longer?
Unknown to Liu Bei and others, they sent someone to investigate.

Soon the spies came back to report the news they had found.

The spies wanted to get close to the city wall, but were blocked by Lu Bu's army, so they had to go to Cao's army to investigate.

Met a strange gentleman near Cao Jun's camp and got some strange words.

"My lord, the gentleman said that this is a benevolent plan, let us not act rashly, and just wait for a few days."

Of course Liu Bei knew that giving food to the hungry was an act of benevolence and righteousness.

The point is that Lu Bu is an enemy, and benevolence and righteousness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.Moreover, Cao Cao will not have the benevolence of women, what is the meaning of this move.

"Did that gentleman say anything else?" Liu Bei asked again.

"No, it's just that the gentleman is a little strange, and there are more than ten whistles and whistles around him, which looks quite extraordinary."

"More than ten bright and dark whistles!" Liu Bei was a little surprised.

Who is this person, how can there be so many guards.

And since the protection is so thorough, why did they meet outside the camp.

Could it be that an important strategist in Cao's army guessed that we would go back there to investigate, so he waited there early.

But Cao Jun did not hide anything about throwing pancakes into the city. We have already noticed it. Why is there someone waiting outside the camp?
All kinds of mysteries seem to be in a mess, and Liu Bei is surrounded by all kinds of dirty things. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Cao has a big conspiracy. Either he wants to deceive Lu Bu, or he wants to deceive Lu Bu and himself together.

Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei seemed to have some signs of confusion, so he interrupted Liu Bei's thinking.

"My lord, isn't it a little strange?"

Liu Bei woke up suddenly, and asked the spy again.

"You just said that Mr. is strange, why?"

The spy scratched his head, seemed to be phrasing his words, and thought for a while before answering: "That gentleman is not very old, but he does seem to have seen through the world, and the words he uttered are all strange words that he doesn't understand."

"It's like fishing is always interrupted, send him a Dongfeng express."

Liu Bei was puzzled and turned his head to look at Jian Yong, just when he saw that Jian Yong was still looking at him just now, and his eyes were also myopic and confused.

"Does Xianhe know what that courier means?"

"I've never heard of it, and there are no rivers or lakes here, where can I fish? I'm afraid this person is not here to confuse us."

"My lord, I think we should make preparations early, lest Lu Bu go crazy after breaking the city, and fight with us to lose both sides, and finally let Cao Cao win."

Liu Bei took it seriously, and immediately ordered the guards behind him to step up their patrols and investigate Lu Bu's situation in depth.

It also caused the soldiers and horses to wake up a little at night in recent days, and the whole army put their clothes together and went to sleep.

After explaining this, Liu Bei turned to Wang Xiang and Zhang Fei: "You two brothers, only you can stop Lu Bu in this battle, so the responsibility of capturing Lu Bu will be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, brother."

"I will definitely put that Lu Bu on my snake spear, and let Lu Bu know that my grandpa Zhang Fei is not easy to mess with."

Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei's coquettish remarks, and turned to Jian Yong.

"Xianhe, how is the situation in Xiapi?"

"No, Cao Cao is probably preventing us from attacking Xiapi. The entire city is impeccably defended. There is no chance at all. The same goes for other cities."

Liu Bei looked dejected: "In this way, we can only plan to live a long life after beheading Lu Bu and befriending Cao Cao. I just don't know how big Cao Cao's appetite for Yangzhou is."

Jian Yong was also frowning: "Cao Cao has many elite soldiers and good generals, and even his advisers are talented. Even if he conquered Xuzhou and Yangzhou at the same time, there are enough people to swallow the land of these two states."

Liu Bei was even more distressed when he heard the words. Why did so many talents go to Cao Cao?

After I, Liu Bei, become famous all over the world, I must imitate Cao Cao and recruit talents...

Liu Bei, like Mrs. Xianglin, was thinking in his heart, full of desire for talents.

"I don't know if the gentleman the spy met can be captured and used by me."

Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei strangely, and Liu Bei laughed.

"I'm just curious about who that gentleman is, hahaha, don't think too much about Xianhe."

"Returning to my lord, I didn't think much about it. I'd better go and see our army supplies, and my subordinates will leave."

Liu Bei...

-

In Xiapi City, in a small courtyard of ordinary people, a middle-aged man was staring at the sky in a daze, suddenly the man turned around and walked towards the corner of the courtyard.

Just outside the courtyard separated by a wall, a group of patrolling soldiers was passing by the road.

The middle-aged man lowered his head, trying to minimize his sense of presence, and he let out a sigh of relief after the soldiers left.

This person was Chen Gong who was hiding here. After Cao Cao broke the city, Chen Gong lived in this common people's house on the grounds that his home was robbed.

Chen Gong firmly believes that Lu Bu will definitely come back, not only because this is the base camp that Chen Gong and Lu Bu have already negotiated, but also because Diao Chan is also in the city.

With Diao Chan's alluring appearance, anyone who finds out will be taken captive, how could Lu Bu bear such an insult.

However, it has been so long, even if Lu Bu went to unite with Liu Bei, he should be back, why there is no news for so long.

Apart from Lu Bu's failure to attack the city, there was another incident that puzzled Chen Gong.

Cao Cao should have captured Zhang Liao, maybe Zhang Liao had already surrendered to Cao Jun, but why didn't Cao Cao search the whole city to find him.

It's not that Chen Gong is narcissistic, it's that Chen Gong knows how much Cao Cao hates him.

Just because Chen Gong stole most of Cao Cao's land in Yanzhou, and justified that so many people rebelled against Cao Cao, it was enough to make Cao Cao hate Chen Gong deeply.

Not to mention, when Cao Cao fought Yanzhou, Chen Gong defeated Cao Cao many times. I believe Cao Cao has already included Chen Gong in the must-kill list.

After thinking for a while, Chen Gong wandered around the yard again.

Chen Gong found that these few days of leisurely life made him feel better, and even the back pain that he had been sitting at his desk all year round was relieved.

What he didn't know was that the couple in the room at this time had already begun to suspect Chen Gong.

"Zhuzi, what is the background of that person? Although I gave you money, I don't know why."

The man called Zhuzi stopped moving his hands.
