The caravans coming from the north seemed to have only gone as far as the Chenliu realm since Yuan Shu attacked Yanzhou, and no longer went east. Therefore, all goods were delivered at the Chenliu realm.

Of course, such behavior is understandable for the Bingbei caravan.

Would that caravan be willing to be deeply involved in the battlefield, taking the risk of being arrested by both sides at any time, randomly labeling it as a spy, and swallowing all the people and goods?

But if the delivery is done in Chenliu, then when the goods arrive at Cao Cao, they will change hands several times.

Last time, the war horses and weapons sent from Bingbei had not arrived at Cao Cao's place for a long time. If Cao Hong hadn't pursued them several times, there was no telling when they would arrive in Cao Cao's hands...

"What Zi Lian means..." Cao Cao knocked his head, feeling a little headache, and said, "...I also know it, but Meng Zhuo is a close friend of a certain person..."

Cao Hong looked at Cao Cao with some helplessness, and could only say: "My lord, how about this... I send another caravan to the territory of Chenliu? My lord knows that Duke Zhang may be unparalleled in chivalry, but he may not be a bad official.

!Although there is no difference in the number of war horses, most of them are rogue horses! The firearms and weapons are also of varying quality! This is either because the people from Bingbei are shoddy, or..."

Cao Cao raised his palms and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Lord!" Cao Hong shouted.

"Okay, I know..." Cao Cao stood up, smiled, walked to Cao Hong, patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, and said, "I know Zi Lian's heart... but don't mention it again.

...Okay, I have political affairs, so I will leave first... Next time there will be new Pingyang dishes, so I will come back..."

Cao Cao said nothing more. When he left Cao Hong's mansion, he smiled and waved to Cao Hong to go back. However, when he turned around, his smile shrank away.

Cao Cao even knew more about this matter than Cao Hong!

There is no problem with the caravan heading north.

The detailed work sent to Chen Liu has confirmed this. Whether it is equipment or horses sold from Bingbei, they are at least passable.

But with a change of hand, the good horse turns into a rogue horse, and the weapon becomes incomplete...

Of course Cao Cao wanted to find out what was going on, but before that, he was more concerned about Yuan Shao's attitude.

Zhang Miao sent an envoy to Jizhou. Although it was secretive, Cao Cao still found out. Of course, it is impossible to know exactly what Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao communicated.

Normally speaking, Zhang Miao's behavior is understandable.

Zhang Miao was Cao Cao's benefactor.

If it weren't for Zhang Miao, Cao Cao might not be what he is today. He might have been tied up, stuffed into a cage, sent to Luoyang, and his head was cut off and hung on the city gate.

If it weren't for Zhang Miao, Cao Cao wouldn't be able to recruit troops. Perhaps he could only look at the peach blossoms in his backyard at home and lament that he was untimely and unlucky.

"Meng Zhuo..."

Cao Cao looked up at the sky and sighed softly and longly.
