"?"

Cao Pi's brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly and he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zihe, we are operating in secret this time. Why did these people hear the news so quickly and came to plead for the Hu army, but something went wrong.

Omission?"

“What omissions are needed?”

Cao Chun shook his head and said, "These people have lived in Chenliu for many years and have long been entrenched. Although you and I acted secretly, we also brought hundreds of soldiers with us. This is equivalent to three hundred taels of silver here. How can we escape?"

Through their eyes?”

"What Ziheshu said is absolutely true."

Cao Pi nodded thoughtfully.

"But I never thought that they would come over, and your father probably didn't think about it either, otherwise he wouldn't have left this matter to you alone when he went to Guandu to supervise the battle."

Cao Chun said again.

"Why is this?"

Cao Pi said thoughtfully, as if he had already thought of something, but he still chose to ask for advice humbly.

"These people have been in the officialdom and noble families for many years, and they have become old foxes who can adapt to the changing circumstances. Even if they are not old foxes, there must be old foxes in their families. Their sense of danger is more sensitive than that of dogs."

Cao Chun continued, "So if we are really just doing a routine inspection and they come over to sell us favors, it would be okay for them to be familiar with each other, but we have brought hundreds of soldiers, and they must have smelled the danger, and even knew it in their hearts.

It was exactly what your father wanted, but you still rushed here under such circumstances, which is very unusual."

"What Ziheshu means is that my brother-in-law has bribed them?"

Cao Pi asked knowingly.

Cao Chun concentrated and said: "And it's not an ordinary bribe. They have undoubtedly tied their career and life to your brother-in-law. They would rather stand on the opposite side of your father to keep the Hu army. The only way I can think of is to make them

The only way they could reach this stage is because they had the control in the hands of your brother-in-law, which is why they reacted so abnormally."

"My brother-in-law is forming a secret party behind my father's back, and he deserves to be punished!"

Cao Pi looked angry, gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's true that he knows people but not their hearts. He never participates in war and political affairs, and he shows no desire for official power. It turns out that he is all pretending. If my father can teach me about this,

I know, I don’t know how disappointed I must be!”

"Anyway, let's put this matter aside for now."

Cao Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Now that the war is imminent, and your father is not in charge of Chenliu, if these people are determined to protect the Hu army, and you and I insist on going our own way, I am afraid that we will eventually cause a big mess. This pair of

It benefits no one."

"But from what I can see, these people are not here to care about the Hu army. After all, they are selling your brother-in-law's face."

"So the crux of this matter still lies with your brother-in-law. If you want to solve this matter smoothly, you cannot get past him in the end... You don't have to worry. Later I will use Fei Nu to truthfully report today's events to your father. This matter

The matter is beyond our ability and your father must wait until your brother-in-law comes back to handle it. He will never blame you."

In terms of force, Cao Chun, who commanded the most elite combat force in Cao Ying's camp, had no confidence.

In terms of momentum, Cheng Yu, Zhu Lu, Wang Qing... these three people together make Boss Cao have something to worry about. Especially now that the war is tense, Boss Cao undoubtedly needs to be more cautious in his words and deeds, let alone

Let’s talk about Cao Chun and Cao Pi.

"I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would have such energy. I really underestimated him before..."

When Cao Pi heard this, he also sighed with self-deprecation.

While talking.

Cheng Yu and Zhu Lu were already approaching.

The two of them had obviously passed their breath on the road. Cheng Yu, as a veteran of nearly seventy years, took the lead to step forward and salute Cao Pi and Cao Chun, and said with a smile: "I have met Mr. Cao, I have met General Cao, I have heard that Cao

Young Master Cao and General Cao led their people to Yongqiu early in the morning, but what happened? In fact, even if something happens, there is no need for Young Master Cao and General Cao to deal with it personally. They only need to send someone to inform the old man, and he will handle it on his behalf."

"I've met Mr. Cao, I've met General Cao."

Cheng Yu had already finished what he needed to say, and Zhu Lu didn't say much, but just stepped forward and gave a salute.

Unlike Cheng Yu and Wang Qing, Zhu Lu encountered a lot of resistance when he arrived this time. The biggest resistance came from his father Zhu Xun.

After Zhu Xun learned about this, he immediately realized that Boss Cao might want to do something to the Hu people's army. Although he did not know what the Hu people's army did on weekdays, he did not know what Boss Cao's idea was.

, but it is extremely clear that rashly interfering with this matter at this moment is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of Boss Cao. If not, it may not only result in the loss of official position, but also the direct annihilation of the clan.

Therefore, he firmly opposed Zhu Lu's coming to help, and mobilized Zhu Lu's biological mother and elders to stop it.

But who is Zhu Lu? He is a well-known stubborn person from all over the country. He has been lacking a clue in his mind since he was a child. In addition, he is now a Dian Nong Zhong Lang general who has some military power. In desperation, he actually ordered his wife to marry him.

Wei forcibly dispersed his father, mother and elders and rushed out of the house.

Before leaving the house, his mother was still sitting on the ground crying and crying.

Although Zhu Lu couldn't bear it, he thought that what he was today was all thanks to Wu Liang, a nobleman and brother. Now the Hu army might be in trouble. If he just sat back and ignored it, he would be worse than a pig or a dog. How would he face Wu Liang in the future?

With such a heart in mind, he rode out of the city gate and happened to meet Cheng Yu who was also rushing out of the city to Yongqiu.

Before this, Zhu Lu was actually a little uneasy.

But after meeting Cheng Yu, he immediately felt more at ease... If the sky falls, there will be taller people to hold it up. Although he, a cheap lieutenant general, is still above Cheng Yu in rank, in Zhu Lu's heart, Cheng Yu is still

As for the tall man, he, an old man who has passed his age, dares to stand up for the Hu army, so what do I have to be afraid of?

"General Zhu and Governor Cheng, it's not really a big deal. They were just here for routine inspection on Duke Ming's orders, so they didn't bother them."

Cao Chun still returned the gift and said lightly.

"So that's it."

Cheng Yu also smiled and said, but then he looked at the Juma standing at the door of the Hu army's station and the heads of the soldiers of the Hu army hidden behind the wall from time to time. Unexpectedly, which pot was not open? He raised the pot and asked with a frown.

He said, "This... Mr. Cao, General Cao, look at this posture. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"?"

Cao Pi and Cao Chun looked suspicious after hearing this, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.

Isn't this old guy here to intercede for the Hu army?

If Ruolai begged for mercy, shouldn't he try his best to minimize the conflict between the two parties and give them enough face so that they could retreat easily? Why did he deliberately bring up the conflict between the two parties?

Didn't he actually come to beg for mercy?

Seeing that Cao Pi and Cao Chun were hesitant, Cheng Yu stopped questioning them and turned to look at Yin Jian, who was standing behind Juma with a guarded expression on his face. He spoke in a stern tone: "Marquis Yin, do you know?

Who are the two generals in front of me?"

Yin Jian didn't understand what Cheng Yu meant, but he could only salute and reply: "When I return to the prefecture, the two generals have already reported their families, one is the second son of Duke Ming, and the other is the captain of Duke Ming."

General Cao."

"Since you know their identities, but you can't cooperate with the two generals' inspection, what are your intentions? Do you want to harm Yongqiu Hou?"

Cheng Yu scolded sharply.

"The general will not dare."

Yin Jian said he didn't dare, but still stubbornly replied, "The general also acted in accordance with the rules. The two generals came to inspect this time. First, they did not submit the edict to Yongqiu Hou in advance, and second, they did not carry any clear instructions.

Duke Yongqiu’s handwriting, this really does not comply with the rules. The general was entrusted by the Duke Yongqiu to guard the Qian Army garrison. If he does not act in accordance with the rules, he will be derelict in his duty. Not only will he betray the trust of the Duke Yongqiu, but he will also be unworthy of the military entrusted by Duke Ming.

I ask the Governor Cheng and the two generals not to make things difficult for the generals..."

"presumptuous!"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yu suddenly interrupted him with a loud shout and cursed loudly, "You are such a ignorant boy. You don't want to think about the status of Yongqiu Hou now!"

"Yu Gong, General Wu is the Marquis of Yongqiu who was enthroned by Ming Gong, and he is also in charge of the Qian army on behalf of Ming Gong. Ming Gong sent the second son and General Cao to supervise, so what is the difference from Ming Gong personally coming to supervise?

, does it mean that when Duke Ming comes to supervise his army, he still needs to submit an edict in advance?"

"If you stop them now, you are stopping Ming Gong. This is a capital crime for the following people. You are so brave!"

"In private, General Wu is now the son-in-law of Ming Gong, so the second young master is General Wu's brother-in-law, and General Cao is General Wu's uncle. How is this different from the same family? Is it necessary for my relatives to come to visit?

Can’t you carry the oracle?”

"If you stop them now, you will teach General Wu to cut off his relatives. How dare your subordinates interfere in Shangfeng's family affairs? You are so loyal!"

While speaking, Cheng Yu gave Yin Jian a strange look.

At this time, Cheng Yu's back was turned to Cao Pi, Cao Chun and others, so only Yin Jian could see this look, but it was hard to say whether he understood the deep meaning in this look.

However, these words made Wang Qing and Zhu Lu nervous at the same time.

"this……"

The two looked at each other in confusion. They really didn't understand what kind of plane Cheng Yu was working on, and why instead of saying a good word for the Hu army, he went so far as to accuse Yin Jian.

Especially Julu.

He doesn't even know now whether he should continue to obey Cheng Yu's arrangement and remain silent, otherwise Cheng Yu might blame Wu Liang if this continues.
