Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 155 Liaodong Gongsundu

Cao Cao was busy taking advantage of the conflicts between Qing, You, and Bingzhou to let them consume each other, just like a vertical alliance.

It's a very clever strategy to kiss one faction, fight another faction, and pull each other.

And Cao Peng, at this point in time, took in the second daughter of the Zhen family.

Then the Zhen family was rebuilt.

With Cao Peng's help, rebuilding the Zhen family is easy.

Although it has experienced dilapidation, with the help of Cao Peng, the Zhen family is rising rapidly.

Cao Peng, who doesn't care about the military, puts his focus on doing business.

Among them, Erguotou's business entered Jizhou, and he used the Zhen family's business network to make a fortune.

Both Zhen Mi and Zhen Jiang are smart women. Under Cao Peng's teaching, they learned many ways of doing business.

With the rise of the Zhen family, these two women have also become Cao Peng's cash cows, and Cao Peng's personal wealth is increasing rapidly.

Just when Cao Peng was making a fortune, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei entered Liaodong.

This time, although it failed miserably.

However, Yuan Tan still has a determination to fight back.

At Liu Bei's suggestion, he decided to go to Liaodong to ask Gongsundu for support.

At the same time, he will unite with the Wuhuan people. Before that, his father gave the Wuhuan people great favors.

He knew the virtues of these people, as long as he gave them huge profits, they would definitely send troops to help him.

Yuan Tan and Liu Bei wanted to use the Wuhuan people to help them and fight back again.

Yuan Tan pointed to the deep valley in the distance, and said, "Xuande, the front is where Gongsun Du is stationed. I hope he can help us this time."

"The young master is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and this worship is only a temporary disaster." Liu Bei said with relief.

Thinking of Yuan Tan in this way, he glanced at the team behind him.

There were only dozens of people following him.

How high-spirited it was back then, how sad it is now.

Seeing Liu Bei and Yuan Tan talking about each other, Zhang Fei who followed behind shook his head.

He became more and more suspicious of the meaning of following Liu Bei.

Because he was depressed, he could only drink to vent his dissatisfaction.

It was going to be dark soon, but fortunately they rushed left and right and finally entered Gongsundu's city.

Gongsun Du gave Yuan Tan enough face, and personally entertained him with a banquet.

There are not only delicious food and wine, but also countless beautiful women with pipas in their arms.

During the banquet, Liu Bei and Yuan Tan were very excited.

Even Zhang Fei was almost infected by this atmosphere.

no way.

I didn't expect that Gongsun Du was such a flirtatious person.

In the banquet he arranged, the beautiful and fair-skinned woman was captivating.

Liu Bei temporarily forgot the pain of losing Guan Yu and the distress of his own failure.

Anyway, he should be flirting for a while.

Seeing Liu Bei's drunken state, Gongsun Du felt a little disgusted in his heart.

He had already heard that Liu Bei had become a notorious person.

But he came with Yuan Tan, and this is the land of Liaodong, so he pretended not to know for the time being, his notorious black history.

While playing vigorously, suddenly a captain came to Gongsundu and whispered something in Gongsundu's ear.

After Gongsun Du got up, he bowed his hands.

"I have some military affairs to do, so I'll excuse you for a while, please enjoy yourself!"

"Please, General."

After Gongsun Du left the banquet hall, he followed the captain to a hidden tent.

It turned out that someone from Cao Cao's side came over.

When Gongsun Du took a look at this person, he could see that his temperament was extraordinary.

I heard that Cao Cao's nephew, Cao Peng, had a Jinyiwei army under his command.

The strength is very strong, maybe this person came from there.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with your envoy here?"

Gongsun Du was very friendly and asked this Jin Yiwei.

Unexpectedly, the other party took out a handwriting and handed it to Gongsun Du.

Out of curiosity, Gongsun Du immediately opened the handwriting, and after carefully reading the content on it, his brows slowly frowned.

"Did Mr. Cao mean that you want me to tie up Yuan Tan and send him there?"

"Please convey for me that Mr. Yuan Tan and I are friends, and his father Yuan Shao has kindness to me, so it is inconvenient for me to do this."

Gongsun Du can still maintain such polite words, which is actually pretty good. In the handwriting he read just now, Cao Cao's words were quite arrogant.

In his opinion, Cao Mengde has already treated him as his subordinate.

Why?
Obviously, in the land of four continents, he dared to come here to make his own idea of ​​Liaodong before he had a firm foothold.

After hearing these words, one of them took out a draft imperial decree from his sleeve and handed it to Gongsun Du.

Gongsundu curiously ended up with this imperial decree.

When he opened it, he was shocked by the contents above.

"This……"

The content above turned out to be that Cao Cao played the emperor for him and wanted to make him Marquis of Liaodong.

Gongsun Du has always proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong, but he has not been recognized by the court.

Now the imperial decree was handed down by the imperial court, so this was why he was surprised.

Gongsun Du was not in a hurry to be happy.

Because he knew that Cao Cao had no friendship with him, why did he do such a thing for himself?
The so-called diligence for nothing is not a traitor or a thief.

He immediately wondered what Cao Cao meant?
Jin Yiwei said: "The prime minister said, as long as the Marquis of Liaodong arrests Yuan Tan, it will be a great service to the court, otherwise, he will be protecting the rebels!"

Gongsun Du was troubled, "Can you allow me to think for a moment?"

Jin Yiwei said: "Please come to Liaodong."

After thinking about it, he felt that it was only a matter of time before Cao Cao annexed all of Yuan Shao's territories.

It is indeed impossible to fight at this time.

If he took Yuan Tan in by himself, it would indeed become a hot thing.

Why don't you just hand over Yuan Tan, and then you can also please Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had no reason to send troops to fight him.

"Okay, please go back and tell the prime minister, I will find a chance to capture Yuan Tan, and then send someone to escort him to Jizhou."

……

When Gongsun Du returned to the banquet hall again, Liu Bei was the first to notice that his expression was different from before.

Liu Bei poked Yuan Tan with his hand, signaling him to look at Gongsun Du's face.

Yuan Tan was also puzzled, so he picked up a glass of wine.

"Marquis of Liaodong, I respect you!"

"Please……"

Seeing that Gongsun Du seemed absent-minded even when drinking, Yuan Tan asked:

"Marquis of Liaodong, why are you restless? But what happened?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, Gongsun Du felt that maybe he couldn't hide it anymore.

It's better to not do one thing and keep doing two things.

Anyway, even if he didn't do it himself, Cao Cao would not let Yuan Tan go.

Gongsun Du's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan suddenly felt bad, but he didn't know what happened.

Only Gongsun Du shouted sharply: "Come here, take down Yuan Tan and Liu Bei!"

The soldiers outside heard Gongsun Du's call, and immediately entered with swords.
