Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 124 Excited Cao Cao

Chapter 124 Excited Cao Cao

Hearing what Xun Yu said, Cao Cao took a bite of the vegetables and said while chewing.

"I know the reinforcements you want to say have arrived."

"Since the lord knows why we can still be so calm, our current situation is that Yanzhou can't enter and Zhili can't go back. If we wait for Bai Qi's reinforcements to arrive, we will really be finished."

Cao Cao cleaned the last few grains of rice from the bottom of the bowl, got up and handed a letter to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu stretched out his hands to take the letter, and his eyes lit up when he saw the contents of the letter.

"Is this a letter from Yuan Benchu ​​to the lord?"

Cao Cao nodded and signaled Xun Yu to open the letter and read it. Xun Yu was overjoyed after opening the letter and reading it.

"Yuan Benchu, are you willing to support us? And have you sent troops to the vicinity of Xinji County?"

Cao Cao licked the gap between his teeth, and said after finishing licking the rice grains between his teeth.

"Not only is it so long, Yuan Benchu ​​also promised to give me [-] shi of food and grass, which will arrive in three days."

"My lord, is it possible that Yuan Shao's generosity is deceitful?"

Facing Xun Yu's question, Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile, "No, as far as I know, Yuan Shao and Ye Xiao have a big enmity."

Cao Cao's words aroused Xun Yu's questioning. Facing Xun Yu's questioning, Cao Cao didn't hide anything and told Xun Yu that Yuan Shao asked Ye Xiao for credit but was insulted.

"Since this is the case, it makes sense for Yuan Shao to be so generous, but now I am a little worried about Runan Yuan Shu."

"I know what you mean. The Yuan family and Yuan Shao are the most capable, but the two brothers have always been at odds because Yuan Shao is a concubine. If Yuan Feng hadn't forcibly distributed part of the family wealth to Yuan Shao before his death, Yuan Shao probably has nothing now. "

Xun Yu put Yuan Shao's letter on the table, glanced at Cao Cao and said.

"Since this is the case, should we seek Liu Biao's help? If Yuan Shu sends troops, let him send troops to contain Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this suggestion and said.

"Although Liu Biao is the prefect of Jingzhou, the real power in Jingzhou is basically in the Cai family. Besides, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu have no grievances or enmities, so there is no reason for them to fight."

Xun Yu heard Cao Cao's analysis and said helplessly: "In this case, we can only wait for Cheng Yu's news."

Just as Xun Yu finished speaking, a soldier stumbled in.

"Report! The lord Cheng Yu is back."

"Hurry up please!"

After a while, a man in ragged clothes and dusty face came in. When he saw Cao Cao, he knelt down and cried.

"My lord, Cheng Yu has failed my lord's expectations."

"Zhongde, what's going on?"

Cheng Yu wiped away his tears and told Cao Cao what had happened. Cao Cao said angrily after hearing this.

"This Dai Yang, why is he so stupid!"

Just as Cao Cao and the others were talking, a soldier walked in again.

"Report! Wancheng Zhangxiu sent someone to see him!"

Hearing this, the three masters and servants present were all stunned. This embroidered piece Cao Cao had heard was the servant of Hussar General Zhang Ji. After Zhang Ji died, he had been allied with Liu Biao. How could he know about Cao Cao if he didn't have any contact with him?
"My lord, it's better to meet him, maybe Zhang Xiu has something to ask us."

Xun Yu came to Cao Cao and whispered, Cao Cao nodded when he heard what Xun Yu said.

"pass!"

After a while, Zhang Xiu's envoy came in. After entering the big tent, he looked at Cao Cao who was sitting in the middle of the big tent, and Cheng Yu and Xun Yu who were standing on both sides, and went forward to salute.

"Zhang Ran pays respects to Duke Cao."

"Please get up, please sit down."

Cao Cao spat out four words coldly, and Cheng Yu, who had wiped away his tears and adjusted his state, stood up and said.

"Wancheng is a hundred miles away from here. I don't know what's up with the special envoy?"

The special envoy didn't say anything but just took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Yu. After seeing this, Cheng Yu took the letter and handed it to Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao himself."

Cao Cao looked at the four big characters on the letter and slowly opened the letter, Zhang Ran in the audience said while Cao Cao was reading the letter.

"My lord's cousin Zhang Ji was killed by Ye Xiao's general Guo Ziyi in Yiyang. My lord cried bitterly for three days and three nights after learning about it."

The envoy shed tears as he spoke, as if it was his brother who died.

"I don't know what your master means?"

The special envoy wiped away his tears and said: "My lord hopes that Duke Cao can take action against Ye Xiao."

Hearing this, Xun Yu almost burst into laughter excitedly. Now that Cao Cao has Yuan Shao's support in front, it is only a matter of action in the rear. Originally, Cheng Yu was sent to lobby the local aristocratic family to disturb Ye Xiao's rear.

Unexpectedly, those aristocratic families were so vulnerable to be broken by Ye Xiao, and now Zhang Xiu came when they were worrying, it was like someone gave a pillow when they were sleepy.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao raised his head and said, "Go back and tell your lord that I have already fought Ye Xiao. As long as your lord is willing to send troops to Yiyang, I am willing to hand over Yiyang City to your lord as a condition."

After Zhang Ran got the reply, he left. After Zhang Ran left, Xun Yu stood up.

"My lord really helped me this time."

Cao Cao got up and nodded after hearing this.

"Order the three armies to attack Xinji in three days!"

"My lord, if we go well this time, we can wipe out Ye Xiao in one fell swoop. At that time, Yuzhou will be in the lord's pocket, and the world is just around the corner!"

Han Xin led 5000 people and Yue Fei's 5000 people to join forces with Bai Qi smoothly, which made Han Xin feel incredible.

"General Bai Qi, why do I feel so strange today?"

"Why did General Han say that?"

According to Han Xin's thinking, it is impossible for Cao Cao to see his army of 2 people entering Xinji. Since he can see it, why not stop it.

Just letting them enter Xinji City so generously, could Cao Cao be a fool?
"The reunion went so smoothly, except for the discovery of the enemy's scouts, there was no obstacle."

"Could it be that they're scared when they see so many of us?"

Hearing what Yue Fei said, Han Xin shook his head, and then he walked to the map.

"No, if Cao Cao was afraid, he should retreat, but Cao Cao didn't show any signs of retreating, could it be?"

Said Han Xin looked towards a place - Yecheng.

"It must be so, it must be."

Seeing Han Xin talking to himself, Bai Qi walked over and asked.

"What happened to General Han?"

"I guess Yuan Shao may come to support Cao Cao!"

Hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "How come, Yuan Shao has just occupied Jizhou at this time, how can he have the time to help Cao Cao?"

"It must be, otherwise why would Cao Cao let us in? Pass down the order, send more scouts, and pay close attention to the movements of Cao Cao's army!"

The grain and grass piled up into mountains outside Yecheng are being transported onto the ships by carts.
