I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

Because of helping Cao Cao capture Lv Bu meritoriously.

Appointed as a general by Cao Cao, he has always been under Cao Cao's command.

Last year, during the attack on Nanpi, he sneaked into the city secretly, and still used his unique skill, stealing horses!

Successfully lured the horses in Yuan Shao's stable out of Nanpi City!

Taking Nanpi City for Cao Cao can be regarded as a contribution.

So Cao Cao rewarded him to be the prefect of Nanpi.

The annual tax money is not bad at all to Cao Cao!

However, under the leadership of Hou Cheng, Nanpi City has become more and more impoverished!

General Zhang Liao came here to beg for food before, and saw the depression of Hou Cheng's mansion!

He could only shake his head.

I think it's really not easy for Hou Cheng.

"After all, in Nanpi City, which is in such a dilapidated state, the tax money paid by the prefect Hou Cheng is not bad at all, which is embarrassing you. This general cannot bear to beg for food!"

Instead of mentioning the matter of begging for food, Zhang Liao handed over a bag of coins to Hou Cheng!

……

On the way Cao Xiong and his party rushed to Nanpi City, Xu Chu told the story of Nanpi City in detail.

Cao Xiong shook his head slightly, thinking that this matter is not that simple.

On the other hand, Lingju didn't say a word, but the sparkle in his eyes could be seen everywhere.

All the generals of Huben thought that someone accidentally provoked this little brother?

Cao Xiong knew that Lingju was eager for revenge.

He patted Lingju on the back.

The Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong signaled that she didn't need to do this!

Looking into Cao Xiong's eyes, Lingju felt relieved.

With Cao Xiong by her side, she always has more confidence!

Five days later, a group of people walked outside Nanpi City.

Find a tavern and rest for a while.

The group ordered a lot of food and drink, Cao Xiong ran over to a bag of coins, and if there were more, they would be rewarded.

The store has never seen such a generous customer, and it is also very enthusiastic.

Seeing that Cao Xiong wanted to chat, the store owner moved a small stool and sat beside Cao Xiong.

"Guest officer, feel free to ask anything, we are all too familiar with Nanpi City."

Hear what the shopkeeper said.

Cao Xiong asked: "Brother inn, do you dare to ask if our Nanpi City is rich? How is the prefect Hou Chenghou? What is the opinion of the common people?"

"This one!"

The little brother in the shop seemed to have suddenly opened up the chatterbox.

"Master Hou Cheng, that is a good official! He is very poor, and our people support him, and he often uses his salary and silver to help the people.

Once, in order to help the people who were looted by bandits, he sold his big house, and now he lives with his wretched wife in a dilapidated small courtyard. "

what!

Hearing this, Cao Xiong was a little puzzled, did such a good official still exist in the Three Kingdoms period?

Why does the more I listen to it, the more incredible it becomes?

If memory serves me right, this Hou Cheng used to be a Yellow Turban Army!

After the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, what they should have done was to rob houses, right?

Become a prefect now?

Ideological awareness has improved?

and many more!

Cao Xiong suddenly noticed the bandits who plundered the people mentioned in the words of the store boy.

"Brother shopkeeper, the bandits you just mentioned robbed the people? Our Nanpi City is protected by officers and soldiers, and the prefect Hou Cheng is so clean and capable? How could there be bandits?"

"Alas" I heard Cao Xiong ask here.

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "Guest officer, you don't know that Nanpi City has a radius of [-] kilometers, and there are more than [-] waves of bandits in one year! Our prefect Hou Cheng is made of iron, and we can't take care of the west even if we take care of the east." where!"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's expression really felt sorry for their Nanpi prefect.

Cao Xiong thought for a moment!

"In one year, more than forty bandits appeared in a prefect city with a very good reputation? Is it very strange?"

Chapter 219

Tatata!

While Cao Xiong was chatting with the store boy. ,

The sound of hoofbeats came from afar.

"It's over! The bandits are here!" The store owner hurriedly closed the door of the restaurant.

Before it was completely closed, a pair of big hands pushed the door open with a bang.

"Little bastard, if I don't come and you don't close the door, why are you hiding from me on purpose?"

A tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a fierce look on his face, rushed in first.

As soon as he entered the door, he yelled and cursed.

Xu Chu moved slightly, intending to make a move, but Cao Xiong signaled to wait.

"boom!"

The fierce little bandit leader overthrew the shopkeeper to the ground.

Give me the money.

While speaking, he showed his two shining kitchen knives.

Cao Xiong asked Xu Chu in a low voice:

"Now, is the bandit threshold so low? One person can get into the industry with two kitchen knives?"

Xu Chu smiled "haha".

"It's the first time I've seen such a petty person!"

Xu Chu's rough laughter attracted the attention of all the bandits.

Only then did they notice that there was still a group of people eating in this tavern.

Except for the two handsome sons at the head, the rest, judging by their looks, are big and three rough. Compared with my own group of people, it is obvious that they are more suitable for the profession of bandits.

At least the weapons they are equipped with are short knives, while my side is all kitchen knives!

At that moment, the bandits stopped where they were, as if they were waiting for something?

What are you waiting for?

What is waiting is slang, code words!

According to the analysis of the little bandit leader, most of the people on the opposite side are also in the same class!

Cao Xiong also wanted to pretend to be their companions.

Infiltrating into them like this, they can search carefully for the rise of the Nanpi bandits!

However, suffering from not knowing code words.

At this moment, Liu Bang in the live broadcast room issued a super barrage.

Liu Bang: "Anchor, I am very familiar with this black and white language, tell me about it!"Storage is no problem. 』

It turns out that Liu Bang has been generous and generous since he was a child, and he is happy to make friends. Whether it is a bandit or a butcher and a groom, all of them are his brothers who have died.

Liu Bang: "! ! 』

After Cao Xiong heard this, he found it interesting.

Learned to say: "There is a chicken hanging in the sky in the north. If the green forest does not deceive the green forest, if the green forest deceives the green forest, it will hurt the green forest and be kind!"

The meaning is: We are all bandits in the north, don't hurt your peace!

The bandit leader laughed out loud when he heard this.

Sure enough, his guess was right.

Met a colleague.

"Where did you come from?"

Cao Xiong followed Liu Bang and continued: "I can't be called a man, let's eat at Cao Wuye's place!"

The little bandit leader asked again: "Are you passing by or waiting?" (Do you have something to stay for a while?)

"I want to see your shopkeeper!"

The little bandit leader sized Cao Xiong carefully.

Seeing that he is fifteen or six years old, he looks handsome and handsome, and his clothes are very luxurious.

The opening of the mouth is slang, very skillful.

Beside him was a handsome Junsheng who was probably accompanying him.

There are also a group of burly men protecting them.

This young master is probably the young master of some mountain!

The fifth master Cao he mentioned was rarely heard of.

However, judging from the aura of these big men, it is not easy for Cao Wuye to come to think of it.

"Follow me to see the shopkeeper!" said the little bandit leader.

Turning around and walking out of the wine shop, he greeted a group of bandits to mount their horses and head west.

There is a rule among bandits that if visitors from other hills come to visit, they must be treated with courtesy!

Since Cao Xiong showed his identity, the little bandit leader naturally wanted to take him up the mountain.

Chapter 220

Xu Chu wanted to stop Cao Xiong.

After all, the purpose of their trip is to come to Nanpi City to beg for food, and it is better to have less than one more thing.

But the fifth son, Cao Xiong, was very interested in going up the mountain to pay homage to the bandits, so he took the lead and chased after him.

Xu Chu, Lingju and Huben's army could only chase after them.

How did they know that the fifth son Cao Xiong was already suspicious.

The failure of the generals sent before to ask for food may have a huge relationship with the rise of this large number of bandits.

Simple conversation along the way.

Cao Xiong knew that the little leader of the bandits was named Lei Gong, and he was the third master in the village on the top of the mountain.
