[It's another busy day, so much in the morning]

Cao Shuo said, "Wen Yuan, Lu Bu is at the end of his rope. Without the four of you, he can't keep Bingzhou."

What Cao Shuo said is not unreasonable. There are only a few of them left around Lu Bu who can fight well. If they really can't go back, Cao Shuo only needs to send two generals to lead an army of [-]. down.

As for Lu Bu, Cao Shuo had people who were not inferior to him in martial arts, not to mention Cao Shuo's martial arts were superior to Lu Bu's.

Zhang Liao said: "Marquis Wei, my family and I are all in Bingzhou. If they surrender, I'm afraid Lu Bu will not tolerate them."

Cao Shuo heard the worry in his heart, but Zhang Liao was willing to let go, which was a good thing for them.

Cao Shuo looked at Zhang Yang and smiled, and said, "Your family will fall to Uncle Zhi!"

Zhang Yang looked terrified, is he going to be exchanged for the children of Zhang Liao, Wei Yue and others?

Cao Shuo doesn't like his ability?

Zhang Liao was puzzled and said, "Please let Marquis of Wei express it!"

"If I remember correctly, Uncle Zhi still owes me 20 shi for grain and grass. Although I paid back part of it at the beginning, there are still at least [-] or [-] shi for grain and grass that have not been paid off."

"This……"

Zhang Yang was very depressed. He thought that if he took refuge in Lu Bu's account, he would not have to pay back these accounts, but who knew he would have to continue to pay them.

Cao Shuo asked, "Can Lu Bu get out so much food and grass?"

Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Hao Meng, and Wei Yue were extremely embarrassed. Of course Lu Bu had 20 shi for food and grass, but he would not be fooled so easily if he gave away 20 shi for nothing for the sake of a surrendered general.

Cao Shuo continued: "Your family members, I will help you get them. If Lu Bu doesn't compromise, I will have no choice but to suppress the border. Anyway, I have enough soldiers and horses. It's okay to go to Bingzhou along the way."

Everyone laughed wryly, only Cao Shuo could say such domineering words, and now he had to stop by to attack Lu Bu.

Cao Shuo looked at Pang De and asked, "May General Ming know Ma Teng's current situation?"

I'm afraid Pang De didn't even know about the split between Ma Teng and Han Sui. He was far away in Wuyuan County and had been fighting with Jia Kui all the time. Ma Teng's information could not be sent to him at all.

Pound shook his head, and then said: "My lord must have taken down all of Shangjun by now, and is now attacking Xihe County."

"Come here, bring Yang Fu in!"

Cao Shuo did not rush to explain to Pound, but decided to use a fact to let Pound know that Ma Teng had returned to the strength he had two days ago.

"Yang Fu?" Pound narrowed his eyes, why is he here?

Yang Fu was brought in after a while, and he was very surprised to see Pang De here.

"Your official Yang Fu, I have seen the lord!"

Pang De stared at Yang Fu in horror, and asked, "Yishan, you actually betrayed General Shoucheng!"

Yang Fu said: "I was already mortal, it was Marquis Wei who saved me."

Pang De hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Yang Fu explained the incident to Pang De, and Pang De was in a cold sweat.

Unexpectedly, Ma Teng's plan failed and he broke up with Han Sui.

It was a bolt from the blue.

Pang De was stunned, and Ma Teng was now retreating to Wuwei, so how much strength did he have?

Isn't this back to the situation where he competed with Dong Zhuo for Xiliang two years ago?
Yang Fu persuaded: "Ling Ming, only by abandoning the darkness and turning to the light will there be a way out. Ma Teng's general situation is over. If Dong Zhuo sends troops to attack Xiliang, Ma Teng will definitely not be able to defend it."

Pound also faced this problem. His family was in Xiliang, and his cousin was also in Xiliang. If he took refuge with Cao Shuo, how would their safety be guaranteed?

Cao Shuo saw that Pang De's face was ugly, so he hurriedly asked, "Is Ling Ming worried about his family?"

Pang De nodded, it's not a bad idea to take refuge in Cao Shuo, not to mention Cao Shuo's strength is so strong, this big man will sooner or later become Cao Shuo's pocket.

"I can write a letter to Ma Teng to help him fight against Han Sui and Dong Zhuo, but on condition..."

Cao Shuo looked at Pound meaningfully. Ma Teng had no reason to refuse this condition. Pound was on his side, and he had to pay a price if he wanted to leave. Now he not only does not need to pay, but can also get some benefits. How can I refuse.

Pang De said respectfully: "If Marquis Wei can bring my family, I would like to surrender to Marquis Wei."

Yang Fu volunteered to stand up and said, "Your Majesty is willing to go to Liangzhou as an envoy!"

"This, I'm afraid it's not right!"

Cao Shuo looked at Yang Fu with a troubled look, he was Han Sui's man, if Ma Teng cut him off, he would lose a great sage.

Yang Fu said firmly: "The lower official has his own words, and he will definitely be able to complete this mission."

"Okay, since Yishan is so confident, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust."

Cao Shuo looked at the group of surrendered generals and said, "I want you to come to Luoyang with me. The main thing is to watch a big show. Dong Zhuo proclaims himself emperor at noon today. We just sit here and watch it. Invite the counselor."

"promise!"

After a while, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Han Hao, Wang Ling, Xi Zhicai, Xun You, Ju Shou, Xun Chen, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Zhuge Jin and others came to Cao Shuo's tent, waiting for news from Chang'an.

Zhao Yun came to Cao Shuo, and asked with a puzzled look: "My lord, did you call me here for more than watching a show?"

"Cao Cao will come to Luoyang soon. You and Cao Yang have been married for several months. It's time to meet you, old man."

Zhao Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "Do you still need to see him?"

Zhao Yun thought that seeing Cao Shuo would be the end of the matter.
