Cao Cao¡¯s abacus made a sound. At this moment, he was still proud that someone actually gave him 5,000 shi of grain for free.
"This is the written document, please sign it!" Liu Ke took out the paper and pen and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao¡¯s pupils shrank, the borrower turned out to be Dongyang Wanmin!
This is different from what was expected.
He can still find a way to pay off what he owes to Liu Ke, but he is not so thick-skinned when it comes to what he owes to the people.
On the other hand, Guo Jia was full of praise for his superior skills.
At this time, Cao Cao was unable to get off the tiger, so he finally signed. If we can't get over this current hurdle, it's hard to say whether it will happen again in the future.
Liu Ke looked at the IOU in his hand and was very satisfied. Even if Cao Cao doesn't return it, he can pass it on to future generations, and over time it will become a cultural relic.
From now on, there will be few opportunities to make Cao Cao, a great tycoon, bow his head.
Cao Cao returned to the camp and began to set up camp as well. Liu Ke's troops occupy an open space on the west side and are now organizing it in an orderly manner. Setting up tents and erecting fences was all done without Liu Ke's instructions. Efficiency and speed made Cao Cao envious.
Compared with Liu Ke's team, the thousands of troops and horses on their side are much worse, with average efficiency and loose military discipline.
"My lord, we can't just let it go!" Xiahou Dun said angrily.
"What can we do if we don't accept it? Repay kindness with hatred? Anyway, Liu Dingfang lent us food!" Cao Cao waved his hand.
"But, you have to pay back ten times!" Xiahou Dun was still unwilling.
"You also know that is true. With the current situation in the world, it is hard to say whether we can survive for another year." Cao Cao said.
Xiahou Dun stopped talking, and the relationship was finally settled.
The next day, Cao Cao was awakened by the sound of a trumpet, rushed out of the camp, and asked in a panic: "What happened?"
It was just dawn and the weather was relatively cold, so he couldn't help but sneeze.
"The Dongyang Army is out for exercise!" Xia Houyuan reported.
"They are indeed elite soldiers and strong generals, but why can't they be used by me?" Cao Cao said regretfully.
Liu Ke didn't care about the commotion of Cao's army. Half an hour after the exercise, he broke camp immediately after breakfast.
Along the way, they met many refugees. According to Liu Ke's instructions, each person distributed a steamed bun to them.
Liu Ke¡¯s good name began to spread far and wide, and when some young men expressed their intention to join the army, Liu Ke did not refuse. The national crisis was facing them, and they should do their part.
Liu Ke sent these people directly to Mi Fang. However, he repeatedly warned Mi Fang not to let them escort the food. Food is the foundation of an army and cannot withstand temptation.
Cao Cao's army followed Liu Ke, becoming more and more frightened that there was enough food to distribute to the refugees.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
Cao Cao¡¯s army has become synonymous with miserliness, and I¡¯m afraid it will soon become known to everyone.
¡°For fame and reputation!¡± Xiahou Dun said viciously.
Some of the stragglers were taken care of by Liu Ke, and there was no hope for them following behind.
The two armies had nothing to do with each other. It was not until they arrived at the big city of Xuchang that Liu Ke sent someone to invite Cao Cao to come to discuss matters.
"What does Meng De think we should do?" Liu Ke asked.
"Xuchang's defenses are still unknown to our army, so we cannot attack rashly," Cao Cao said.
If you say it, you haven¡¯t said it yet!
Liu Ke invited Cao Cao here just to gather information. Unexpectedly, this man was so petty that he refused to say anything.
"What do Liu Xiandi plan to do?" Cao Cao asked.
"Tomorrow our army will attack the city! The Yellow Turban Army is a chicken and a dog!" Liu Kedao said.
"Hey, Mr. Liu really thinks so?" Xiahou Dun listened and sneered and asked.
"Of course, with one go, Xuchang will be decided with three gongs." Liu Ke said confidently.
"There are 5,000 defenders in Xuchang City, plus the 10,000 troops brought by the bandit Zhang Mancheng, you have 8,000 people? Do you want to break through Xuchang?" Xiahou Dun sneered, until Cao Cao glared at him, then he retreated Went back.
"It turns out that Meng De has reservations! I'll try my best to squeeze out some food and lend it to you!" Liu Ke suddenly realized.
You still have the nerve to say it?
Cao Cao was secretly resentful and blamed Xiahou Dun for being too careless and being cheated out of his bargaining chip. He has been investigating Xuchang for a long time, which is not something Liu Ke can figure out when he first arrived.
"What else can Meng De say? Could it be that he is waiting for our army to suffer heavy losses so that he can conquer it?"Wait? Liu Ke said aggressively.
"Could it be that the Cavalry Commander surrendered to the Yellow Turbans?" Dian Wei said with a finishing blow.
"My dear brother, you are too worried. Let's do this. Our army will take the lead tomorrow." Cao Cao said.
"Meng De is righteous!" Liu Ke secretly laughed, as he could take the opportunity to observe the military strength in Xuchang City.
However, if the number of enemy troops is really what Xiahou Dun said, how could Cao Cao regain Xuchang with the 5,000 men in his hands?
There must be some unknown trick in it.
After Cao Cao left, Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid there is an insider in the city."
Liu Ke thought about it and thought it was very possible.
"What's the best way to practice filial piety?"
"It's easy at this time. The lord can directly lead the army to Changshe." Guo Jiadao.
Liu Ke thought for a while, since Cao Cao didn't tell the truth and dared to take the lead, there must be a way to capture Xuchang, and his troops staying here would have no effect.
Rather than helping Cao Cao hold down the enemy, it would be better to go directly to rescue Huangfu Song.
"However, this area is the territory of the Yellow Turban Army, so it is a bit difficult to hide it from the enemy.
It is precisely because of this that it can be unexpected. Think about it, the Yellow Turban Commander-in-Chief Bo Cai would probably pee in fear if an army suddenly appeared in the stable rear.
Liu Ke suddenly thought of a helper: the Yingchuan noble clan!
Yingchuan is between Xuchang City and Changshe, and the power of the Yingchuan gentry cannot be ignored.
Guo Jia volunteered to contact the nobles, and Liu Ke arranged for Tai Shici to accompany him. Dian Wei was originally going to go, but there was nothing he could do about it, because this guy looked so vicious and impulsive.
At night, Guo Jia fulfilled his mission and brought two famous people, Xun Yu and Xun You.
Liu Ke ordered people to prepare wine and food and began to welcome the two of them.
"I've heard about Liu Dingfang's name in Yangzhou for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a talented person." Xun Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Please sit down! I invite you two to come today. To be honest, I have something to ask for." Liu Ke said straight to the point.
"Fengxiao is my good friend. I have explained it along the way. This plan is feasible!" Xun Yu said confidently.
It turns out they are a pair of gay friends, and Guo Jia is such a tight-lipped person.
Xun You, who was sitting aside, was respectful and polite, but said nothing, which made people puzzled.
"General Huangfu has been trapped in Changshe for many days. He is in a stalemate with the rebels and has no way to retreat. Yu wants to send his servants to support, but his strength is meager. If there is a certain party to help on this trip, the siege of Changshe will be solved." Xun Yu said. .
The fight hasn¡¯t even started yet, so you have to share some of the credit?
If you wanted to rescue, why would you have gone there early
The gentry are really a strange race.
"However, Xun Yu was relatively open-minded. When faced with a national crisis, he still knew how to summon his servants. I'm afraid more nobles are thinking about how to preserve their family property. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
