Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer, you dare to steal my horse!

Chapter 54 In order to confuse Ma Teng and others
After several days of long journey, Bai Chuan and his party finally arrived in Xudu.

As soon as they arrived in Xudu, they saw a group of people lined up in two rows at the gate of the city.

The leader was a rather skinny-looking civil servant with a goatee and a serious complexion.

This person should be Xun Yu.

And there is a person standing beside him, wearing a light armor worn for hunting, who looks about 30 or [-] years old.

This person is most likely Cao Pi.

"Young Master, General Cao, Mr. Bai."

As soon as the crowd arrived, Xun Yu smiled indifferently and bowed.

"Second brother, long time no see!"

Cao Zhang stepped forward, patted Cao Pi on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

Cao Chun cupped his hands in return and said:
"Unexpectedly, Xun Lingjun would take time out of his busy schedule to come and meet me."

Xun Yu smiled lightly:
"The general and Mr. Bai led the tiger and leopard cavalry to help. If you don't welcome them, wouldn't it appear that you are ignorant?"

Bai Chuan followed up, saluted and said:

"I've seen Mr. Xun Ling, I've seen Young Master."

A slight smile appeared on Xun Yu's face, and said:
"I've heard of Mr. Bai's name for a long time, and he became famous in Xinye!"

"Unexpectedly, the person who can easily see through Crouching Dragon's scheme is so young!"

"It's really scary for young people!"

Cao Zhang on the side smiled and said:

"Mr. Xun Ling, please don't be fooled by your appearance."

"He is scheming, cunning, and..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi suddenly coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Ziwen, don't be so rude to your husband."

Cao Zhang was a little confused at once, and said in a puzzled way:

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"Is it okay for me to praise Mr.?"

Cao Pi helplessly rubbed his forehead and said:
"These words you said are not words of praise..."

"On weekdays, my mother will let you read more books, but you are lucky, you don't learn and do nothing all day long!"

After Cao Zhang disrupted the situation, everyone couldn't laugh or cry, and the embarrassing situation eased a lot.

"Never mind him, if you want me to tell you, let's not be polite."

"Second brother, we have come all the way here, why don't you set up a banquet and clean up the dust for us?"

Cao Zhang waved his hand, not paying attention at all.

Xun Yu smiled lightly and said:

"Don't worry, my lord, the officials have already made preparations, and invited tigers and leopards to ride into the city."

"I'll eat and talk while we wait!"

"It's time to thank Xun Lingjun."

Bai Chuan smiled politely, and led the tiger and leopard rider into the city slowly.

During this period, Bai Chuan had been secretly observing the reactions of the two of them.

In fact, Xun Yu's reaction was not bad, he didn't show anything, it was just a welcome.

On the other hand, Cao Pi has been looking at himself.

It seems that my guess should be right.

Sima Yi must have said something to Cao Pi.

It's just that I don't know whether Cao Pi wants to win him over or regards himself as an enemy.

After entering Xudu, the prosperity of Xudu surprised Bai Chuan.

Compared to Wollongong, compared to Jingzhou, Xu Ducai is more like a big city.

The streets are full of hawkers, and the guards in the city are constantly patrolling.

The whole place is filled with the atmosphere of living and working in peace.

Compared with the lifeless Jingzhou, I don't know how much better it is.

It seems that under the management of Boss Cao, the common people really live and work in peace and contentment.

Bai Chuan couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Everyone in the world says Cao thief is a traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty.

But if there is no Cao Cao to pacify the world, how can the people live such a stable life?
I'm afraid they will starve to death everywhere, and the lives will be overwhelmed.

Everyone marched all the way to Xudu's barracks.

Sure enough, Xun Yu had already set up a banquet here, waiting to welcome the tiger and leopard riders.

……

After some courtesy, everyone sat down.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere seemed harmonious.

At this time, Cao Chun said straight to the point:
"Xun Lingjun, I don't know how the war in the north is going at this time?"

"Then Ma Teng can move?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said:

"I've been sending spies on Maarten."

"In the past few days, Ma Teng has been fighting with Han Sui, and it seems that he will never die."

"Instead, the Huns are ready to move."

"In the past few days, several villages on the border have been looted, and the people are in dire straits."

Having said this, Xun Yu couldn't help but sighed faintly.

Cao Zhang widened his eyes and said:

"what?"

"A mere Hun, dare to disturb my border?"

"Xun Lingjun, why don't you just send troops to teach them a lesson?"

"Let them know that we are not easy to mess with!"

Cao Pi shook his head and said:
"Ziwen, the one we should pay the most attention to now is Ma Teng from Xiliang."

"As for the Xiongnu, it won't cause much trouble."

"It's not too late to deal with them after Ma Teng is dealt with."

After finishing speaking, Cao Pi suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Chuan and said:

"I don't know what Mr. Bai intends to do when he comes here this time?"

Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said a word coldly:

"kill!"

kill?

Who to kill?
Everyone couldn't help but looked at Bai Chuan full of doubts.

Cao Pi was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Bai Chuan would give such an answer, he couldn't help but said in doubt:
"Sir, do you want to send troops to attack Ma Teng first?"

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:
"Ma Teng is the most impatient."

"As long as the Southern Expeditionary Army does not start a war with Jiangdong, Ma Teng will not dare to think about the Central Plains."

"Now that the prime minister is training sailors, I have at least two months to wait."

Xun Yu's expression froze slightly:
"Could it be that Mister wants to kill the Huns?"

Cao Pi shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid there is something wrong."

"Although it's good that Ma Teng is waiting for his father's Southern Expeditionary Army to attack, he pays more attention to our movements."

"If I wait to send troops to exterminate the Huns, it's hard to say whether Ma Teng will suddenly attack."

Bai Chuan shook his head and said:
"The people on the frontier are also my Zhongyuan people, and they are also descendants of China."

"If the hearts of the people on the border are chilled, how can the people in the Central Plains feel at ease?"

"The will of the people is the most important thing."

Cao Pi was a little puzzled and said:

"Sir, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"It is true that people's hearts are important, but if Ma Teng knows about our army's movements, he will definitely not let it go."

"If he is really acting, if the Xiliang iron cavalry army is approaching, how should we resist?"

"Don't lose the big because of small things!"

But Bai Chuan glanced at Cao Pi:
"Why are you so sure, son, that Ma Teng knows the true strength of our army?"

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment:
"Father led an army of nearly 80 troops to march south. Ma Teng is a shrewd man, and he will definitely be able to guess how many soldiers and horses are left in the north."

Bai Chuan shook his head and said with a slight smile:

"This time the prime minister's expedition claims to be 100 million people, but in fact there are not so many people."

"Young master, do you know the reason?"

Cao Pi said without thinking:

"Of course it is to deter the people of Jiangdong."

"I'm afraid not."

Bai Chuan was determined, and continued:
"This is just one of them. The reason is to confuse Ma Teng and others."
