Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao paced back and forth a little anxiously, blaming himself for having few major generals, otherwise Zhiyuan would not be able to take the risk!

"Hey! This is all a mistake! I only hope that Zhiyuan can come back safely, Yanzhou doesn't want it!"

Cao Cao's decisive words warmed Guo Jia's heart, and he immediately put away his wolf nature, and solemnly saluted: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but please rest assured, my lord, Jia believes that Zhiyuan will never make fun of life!"

"Hmm~"

Cao Cao still listened to Guo Jia's comfort, thinking about Ning Rong's lazy temper and great ideals, he really believed it.

"Come here! Order Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Li Dian's subordinates to speed up and cut off all their food and grass within three days!"

"Here!" The orderly responded in a loud voice.

"I hope there is still time!"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh to himself.

……

Valley City.

Ning Rong sat in the central hall of the county yamen with an uncertain expression, the county magistrate and Zhu Bo and others looked at their noses and noses and their hearts, not daring to breathe, for fear of offending Mr. Ning.

In the nave, several servants carefully cleaned up the broken teacups. This was the sixth time in the past few days.

Outside the door, Lu Xun was holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hands, but he was too worried to read them.

Cao Hong rushed into the county office in a hurry, and seeing Lu Xun's expression, he consciously slowed down.

"Xiao Luzi, is your master still angry?"

"Yes! General Cao, hurry up and persuade the master. In the past ten days, fourteen tea bowls have been dropped. Boyan has never seen the master so angry!"

Lu Xun's small face was wrinkled into a ball, and he said worriedly.

"Don't say it's you! Even this general has never seen it before. It seems that... he was very angry with these aristocratic families!" Cao Hong left the door sadly. He has already figured out the situation these days. up.

"These people are really short-sighted. If Gucheng falls, how could they be spared! Hmph!" Lu Xun muttered bitterly.

"Hey! You are also a child of an aristocratic family, how could you forget this truth, come on...go in and have a look!"

Lu Xun's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Cao Hong's back for some unknown reason. He...what did he mean?Could it be that he already knew his identity?

Thinking of this, Lu Xun suddenly became a little uneasy. General Cao knew, and the master... did he know too?

Lu Xun was confused.

……

"Go down!"

Cao Hong waved his hands expressionlessly and ordered, and everyone quickly exited the lobby.

"Zhiyuan, are you still angry about the banquet that day?"

"... Sigh!" Ning Rong asked without raising his head, "Is there any news about the yellow scarf thief?"

"Well! The spies came to report that the yellow scarf bandit Zhou Cang personally led an army of 30 and surrounded him from all directions. The fortifications outside the city were also repaired as you said, but this man..."

"Cough! Rong overestimated these selfish guys!"

Ning Rong sighed and said, thinking of that day, he wished he could chop these people with a knife.

One by one, flattering and courteous, lest they fall behind!

But when it comes to borrowing troops to defend the city, there is instant silence, and all of them have turned into quail eggs.

Chapter 121

What... the family business is very small, and there is no family in the mansion!

What... There are only a few old slaves and a few maidservants in the mansion. If the general needs them, he is willing to donate them all.

fart!

It's all fart!

What does the young master want the old slave to do, he can't lift his hands, can't resist his shoulders, he wants to take care of the food!

Return the maid!Maid, you are tall!

The more Ning Rong thought about it, the more angry he grabbed the teacup on the table with a click, and smashed it out, the tea overflowed, and the teacup broke into pieces.

Cao Hong looked at Ning Rong's furious tantrum, thought of Cao An's secret report, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Zhiyuan, the largest families in Gucheng are the Wang family, the Li family, and the Sun family. The rest are miscellaneous The surname is a squire, a merchant, the Wang family is responsible for raising the price of grain this time, and everyone else is following suit!"

"The Wang family?" Ning Rong gritted his teeth and asked, "Which Wang family? The King of the South, the King of the North?"

Gucheng stands next to a mountain, connecting the Xiaoqing River in the west, and the west gate is mostly used for water intake. The busiest one is the east gate connecting the official road, and there are two hills in the north and south, the south one is called Xiaowang Mountain, and the north one is called Dawang Mountain. This is all because there are actually two big families surnamed Wang in Gucheng. Although they live in the same city, they have a bad relationship. The two big families are called the Southern King Family and the Northern King Family.

It is precisely because the gathering places of the two Wang families are different that Ning Rong asked this question.

"The dynasty of the Northern King's Patriarch is the most powerful person in Gucheng. Their family has thousands of servants, and there are hundreds of people in the Nursing Yard alone, and they control the largest grain traffic between the north and the south of Gucheng!" Cao Hong said slowly.

"Dynasty? Huh! It's this old stubborn who took the lead and let us fall into a passive position!"

Mentioning the patriarch of the largest royal family, Ning Rong would not get angry at all. He is in his fifties, in good health, smiling cheerfully from beginning to end, a typical old fox, the kind who is scheming.

"That's right! How far is the Yellow Turban from here?"

"Ah? Uh!" Cao Hong swallowed dumbly, why did he go to the Yellow Turban Bandits again?Isn't this thinking too jumpy?

"Ahem! The Yellow Turbans are still less than two hundred miles away, but...the Yellow Turbans don't seem to be in a hurry. They are moving very slowly, as if they are out for fun. It is estimated that... it will take another three days. to get there!"

Speaking of the movement of the yellow turban bandits, Cao Hong was most concerned. This was a 30-strong army. Once they surrounded Gucheng, it would be difficult for him to break out with his 3000 men.

"Three days? Good!"

Ning Rong frowned, and shouted bitterly: "Bo Yan, come in!"

"Master!" Lu Xun didn't understand why he looked at the confused Cao Hong, and turned to respect.

"Well...Bo Yan, you go to Cao An and ask him to prepare some steel knives for me, wrap them in red silk and satin, they must look exquisite and gorgeous, and then...let him choose dozens of soldiers, and the county officials will Accompany me, beat gongs and drums, and visit the heads of each family one by one with great fanfare, and I want everyone in the city to know that General Cao Hong will give them each a steel knife!"

Ning Rong was in high spirits, his eyes were full of respect, and when he lowered his head, a trace of disdain flickered across his mouth.

"..." Cao Hong was dumbfounded.

"..." Lu Xun was also confused.
