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

Chapter 172 Zhao Yun: Cao Peng, you are playing with fire
Liu Bei never thought that Cao Peng would let him take him to meet Liu Qi, the prince of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi excitedly walked out of the room and held Liu Bei's hand.

"Xuande, it's good that you're fine! I thought something happened to you?"

"My lord, you have to be careful. This time Cai Mao sent me to Jingzhou under the guise of your father's order. In fact, he wanted to kill me." Liu Bei said.

Liu Qi heard this, and said with some fear: "Cai Mao, are you really planning to do something?"

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Of course, my son, we still need to make a decision early."

"But the soldiers in my hand can't resist him at all, please teach me, Xuande, what should I do?" Liu Qi asked.

Liu Bei shook his head, "I have little talent and learning, so naturally I can't break the situation, but this time I invited a great sage for my son!"

Only then did Liu Qi notice Cao Peng and Xu Shu in the room.

"Haven't you asked your surnames yet?" Liu Qi asked respectfully.

Cao Peng said with a smile: "My lord, you are being polite. The two of us are disciples of Mr. Shui Jing. This time, we were invited by Xuande to help you!"

When Liu Qi heard it, his face turned pale with shock. He had heard of Mr. Shui Jing's name for a long time.

It's just that I haven't been able to meet this person, and I thought it was just a rumor.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shui Jing really existed.

Liu Qi cupped his hands, "Please teach me, gentlemen!"

Cao Peng said with a smile: "Young master, Mr. Shui Jing has received news from his disciples. Now that Cao Cao has ruled the north, it is very likely that he will go south. You can make plans early."

Liu Qi smiled helplessly, "I can't even protect my own life, how can I manage such a big matter..."

It's no wonder that he is so helpless, because his current status is in jeopardy, and he may be killed by the Cai family at any time.

The most urgent task at the moment is to resolve internal disputes first, and how can Cao Cao go south.

Cao Peng smiled, "My lord, you can't be small. You can use Cao Cao's going south to solve your own crisis."

"Please teach me sir!" Liu Qi asked sincerely.

Cao Peng smiled kindly and said, "Young master, this matter is actually very simple. You just need to be more motivated and tell your father that you want to station troops to guard Xinye City and be willing to serve as the first barrier for Jingzhou."

When Liu Qi heard it, he suddenly realized.

What Cao Peng said is indeed a solution.

However, everyone has heard that Cao Jun is fierce, can he stop it by himself?
"This……"

Seeing Liu Qi's hesitation, Cao Peng said: "My lord, don't worry, Mr. Xu and Liu Bei will stay and help you."

Liu Qi frowned, "Then..."

"Where are you going, sir?" Liu Qi asked.

Cao Peng smiled and said, "I have important things to deal with."

Liu Qi understood that this group of people was actually headed by Cao Peng, and they would do whatever Cao Peng said they wanted to do.

So he didn't dare to say much.

Cao Peng said what he said.

Time did not pass too long.

Cao Cao ordered Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan to lead [-] Cao troops southward and hoard them in Fancheng.

After receiving the news, Cao Peng left Liu Bei and Xu Shu behind, and took Zhao Yun to Fancheng by himself.

When he was leaving, he called Liu Bei to him, put his arms around Liu Bei's shoulder and said to him, "Xuande, follow me well, the benefits of drinking and dancing are indispensable to you."

Liu Bei asked suspiciously, "General, what is a disco?"

Cao Peng laughed, "In short, the benefits are indispensable to you."

Liu Bei could only smile wryly. Cao Peng pushed him into this situation. Does he still have a choice?
"Please rest assured, General."

Liu Bei was forced, but Xu Shu took it as a challenge.

He thought that Cao Peng left him because he wanted to test himself.

He was a little surprised that Cao Peng asked himself to help Liu Qi and defeat the army led by Brother Xiahou.

I can't help feeling that the forces in Cao Ying have already fought among themselves before they won the world.

But since he has chosen Cao Peng, he will go all the way to the dark.

For the time being, he regards the use of troops this time as a small test. If he can't defeat Brother Xiahou, then Cao Peng will probably doubt his strength.

Xu Shu was gearing up, while Cao Peng took Zhao Yun to Fancheng.

After entering the city.

Cao Peng saw Brother Xiahou, who had a ferocious aura all over their bodies.

Cao Peng found that the two treated him very delicately, and it could even be said that he had dismissed him.

After a few polite words.

Xiahou Dun said directly to Cao Peng coldly: "General, what my lord means, this time Jingzhou will be conquered, and my two brothers will be the vanguard. You can leave after you hand over Jinyiwei's intelligence network to us!"

After hearing this guy's tone, Cao Peng knew that this was the success of a villain.

But he smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Did the prime minister say where should I go after I leave?"

Xiahoudun said: "The prime minister appointed you as governor of Xuzhou, take office immediately!"

Governor of Xuzhou...

"In that case, I will take my leave!"

"The general walks slowly..."

Cao Peng left with a flick of his sleeves, Xiahou Dun smiled even more.

After leaving the camp gate, Zhao Yun grabbed Cao Peng's hand and said.

"General, I don't think this is what the prime minister meant!" Zhao Yun said.

Cao Peng asked with a smile: "Then who do you think this meant?"

Zhao Yun said without hesitation: "It must be the children of the gentry!"

Cao Peng wanted to laugh a little, and this kind of answer is naturally self-evident.

When he helped Cao Cao maintain his rule before, he offended those gentry too much.

Among the civil servants and military generals around Cao Cao, except for Guo Fengxiao who was born as a commoner, which one has no shadow of a nobleman behind him?

When he was entangled in these things, Cao Cao just sat by and watched, which made him feel a little chilled.

Of course, it is also possible that Cao Cao has nothing to do.

After all, the news that Cao Cao is going to become king has already spread.

Although the time to become king will not be now, but after unifying the world, Cao Cao will definitely compromise with the gentry.

Before Cao Peng killed a group of royalist ministers, in fact, he only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

There is also a clear stream in the court, and it is also a group of guys who support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

For example, Kong Rong is one of the representatives.

"General, shall we leave it at that?" Zhao Yun asked.

Cao Peng laughed and said, "If you can't bear it a little, you will make big plans. Let's go back to Xuzhou and see how capable Brother Xiahou is."

Zhao Yun didn't say any more, he seemed to have a little understanding of what kind of strategy Liu Qi was going to use.

This guy might be using Liu Qi to make Brother Xiahou lose the battle!

Brother Xiahou's defeat is equivalent to slapping those who opposed him, a slap in the face!

However, such an arrangement, in his opinion, is simply playing with fire.

In this world, only Cao Peng dared to play such a game of chess.
