Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Chapter 140 Zhongde hides his heart, Dezu pleads guilty

"I originally came to Xudu to visit friends, but Xu Yuanzhi didn't know where he went and hasn't returned yet, so he stayed here temporarily. I wonder if Zhongda has heard of this person?"

"Oh, I've heard of it, is that the one who shouted to kill Cao thief on the Yuedan Review?"

puff~
Xu Shu didn't talk enough to Zhuge Liang, so when Sima Yi said seriously to kill Cao thief, Zhuge Liang really couldn't control it.

"Zhongda is serious?"

Sima Yi smiled more and more: "Naturally, hundreds of people are present, so how can I talk nonsense."

Zhuge Liang instantly understood Sima Yi's intentions, shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Why is Zhongda like this?"

Sima Yi showed a puzzled look on his face: "I don't know what Kong Ming meant by that?"

"I know Zhongda won't be an official at this time, and I don't want to sell myself so easily, you and I are the same kind of people."

Sima Yi's face gradually calmed down: "Kong Ming's words are really abrupt. I have no intention of becoming an official. How could I be like you."

When Zhuge Liang said that he was waiting for Xu Shu here, his meaning was clearly expressed, that he was waiting for an opportunity to inspect Cao Cao.

At this time, Zhuge Liang used himself as a guide, trying to trick Sima Yi out of his plan, but this man was so impeccable that he didn't fall for it.

"Oh? Since brother Zhongda has no intention of becoming an official, why do you want to live in seclusion here? Could it be that he is really fishing?"

"Hahaha, brother Kong Ming doesn't need to be hostile to me, I really have no intention of career."

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt that this person was too boring, and he had already exposed himself, but this person was still hiding. It seems that the teacher did not recommend himself to this person, just chatting about it.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to pull this person into the hype alliance, so that everyone can hype together, and then they will rise together, so that there is a support.

But since this is the case, there is nothing to talk about, and after a few perfunctory words, he served tea to see off the guests.

After Sima Yi left, he looked back at the small courtyard, and thought that Kong Ming was very interesting, as if he had seen through some of his intentions.

After sending Sima Yi away, the two never met again. After more than ten days of peace, Cao Cao returned to Xudu with a big victory.

Xun Yu, who was staying behind, was greeted ten miles outside the city by civil and military officials, and many people had already gathered here.

Soon the sky filled with banners first caught everyone's eyes, and then the dust raised by thousands of soldiers rolled and fluttered behind Cao Cao like a yellow dragon, which made the people who came to watch the scenery exclaim in wonder.

Seeing the smoke and dragon-like dust, many gentry thought their eyes were dazzled and rubbed their eyes several times, but it still remained the same.

If you think about Cao Cao's tens of thousands of soldiers fighting against Yuan Shao, who is several times his own, it seems that even God is on Cao Cao's side, so the sky in Xudu may change.

Some people began to retreat into the crowd, but they couldn't get away, so they had to hide in the crowd and watch Cao Cao getting closer and closer.

But when Cao Cao really came in front of the officials and the common people, everything was very harmonious, and even Cao Cao smiled at everyone.

So everyone breathed a sigh of relief. On the one hand, they thought that maybe the matter hadn't been discovered, and on the other hand, they thought that Cao Cao didn't want to be punished immediately after the war ended, so there was still time to operate.

After Cao Cao entered the city, he still went straight to the government office, and he also left a group of counselors behind.

At this time, Yang Xiu had already knelt outside the government office for two hours, just because Cao Cao had exchanged several letters with his uncle during the Northern Expedition.

Communication is not the point, the point is that Yang Xiu's uncle is Yuan Shao.

Therefore, these letters became very sensitive, making Yang Xiu restless all the time, and he never received a reply.

Of course, it might be because Yuan Shao had already started the war at that time, and he had no time to pay attention to him, but Yang Xiu always felt that Cao Cao's eyes were not right when he welcomed Cao Cao back to the city, and maybe Xu Duzhong was about to set off a bloody storm.

So he consciously came to plead guilty, even if the letter was not cleared, he had to clarify his relationship with Yuan Shao, so as to reduce the degree of suspicion in Cao Cao's heart.

During the time he knelt outside the government office, Yang Xiu kept thinking about this matter.

And as Yang Xiu knelt for longer and longer, what he thought in his heart changed from cutting off the relationship, to mitigating punishment, to completely giving up sophistry, and just wanted to find a way out after confessing.

After Cao Cao returned to the government office, he has been checking information with various officials, and has gone through the things that happened in Xudu during the time he was away.

Then the gains from the Battle of Guandu were simply processed.

It wasn't until after I was free that I remembered that there was still someone kneeling outside.

"Yang Xiuke is still kneeling outside."

Yang Xiu was Cao Cao's boss anyway, and of course someone was watching him all the time, so when Cao Cao asked, someone answered.

"Yes, still kneeling outside."

"How long?"

The guard estimated the time and replied, "It's almost three hours."

Cao Cao looked around, focusing on Han Ze's expression.Then he laughed: "Then let him in, let's listen to what he has to say."

The guard immediately went outside to summon Yang Xiu. When Yang Xiu saw the guard, he thought it was an angel descending to earth, and wished he could hold him and cry.

But when he tried to stand up, he failed. After several attempts, he finally gave up and looked at the guard anxiously.

"Please help me, it's really, really hard to get up."

The guard hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to help, after all, it was the master Bo.

However, even though he was lifted up, Yang Xiu lost feeling in his legs and was almost dragged into the lobby.

Seeing Cao Cao bowed down again, Yang Xiu felt relieved at this time, at least the lord is willing to see him, which means there is still salvation.

Yang Xiu even tried to comfort himself, at least he didn't have to worry about standing now.

However, Cao Cao threw him into the ice cave at the next sentence, and Yang Xiu even felt that his blood was completely cold at that moment.

"Yang Xiu, I heard that you want to plead guilty to me? It's the crime of collaborating with the enemy."

Yang Xiu quickly denied it: "My lord, please don't get me wrong. I don't dare to collude with the enemy. I just want to explain the family affairs to my uncle."

【Hehe, I believe you are a ghost, so I cut your hair in the first month, wouldn't it be able to directly destroy Yuan Shao. 】

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Han Ze from the corner of his eye.

Tai Ning is really not a mortal, not only can pinch and count, but also seems to be able to spell some spells.

Then what kind of spell can cut Yuan Shao's hair in the first month, and why must it be activated in the first month?
Cao Cao was almost distracted, but then he realized that this was also written in a script.

Shaking his head to get rid of these distracting thoughts, he looked at Yang Xiu.

"Since you said it was a letter from home, let's talk about what is written in it."

Yang Xiu was shocked, what did he write?Why ask what was written?Was the letter really intercepted?
So he didn't dare to hide it, and told his uncle Yuan Shao to settle down the relatives of the Yang family.

After Cao Cao heard this, he turned to Han Ze. On the way back, Han Ze had already informed Cao Cao that he had intercepted the letter.

It's just that the battle is in a hurry, and the letter has been kept in Han Zena. Cao Cao wanted to verify whether the contents of the letter were true.

However, when Goose saw Han Ze shaking his head, Yang Xiu was shocked.
