Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Cao Cao assassinated Dong, and I was abandoned

"How to sell!"

This is what Liu Bei cares about.

He didn't believe that Cao Shuo would give away for nothing, Cao Shuo never gave away for nothing.

"My lord knows that the envoy doesn't have much food in stock, so we don't plan to trade it with food!"

Liu Bei asked cautiously, "Then what are you going to use?"

Liu Bei thought about it, he didn't have much resources at all, and the amount he could exchange was not much. Although Yin Kui said that there were [-] war horses, the most he could buy was [-] horses.

Yin Kui said solemnly: "The south of Nanyang County is close to the Yangtze River. There are many shipwrights. One war horse is exchanged for one shipwright. If their families want to be with them, we are willing to exchange grain with you!"

Temptation, too tempting.

War horses are in short supply for any prince.

Food and grass is what they are most in short supply.

Liu Bei had no reason to refuse this condition.

Du Xi asked, "How much grain can that person exchange for?"

Yin Kui said: "My lord has always disliked trouble, no matter men, women, old or young, each person gets ten shi of food."

"Ten stones?"

Everyone was horrified, this is the amount of a year for an ordinary soldier, and for an ordinary family, it can even last for two to three years.

Among the princes, only Cao Shuo has courage and strength.

Liu Bei asked excitedly, "How many craftsmen does Marquis Wei plan to have?"

Yin Kui spread out his hands and said, "My lord didn't say how much I want, I'm in charge of everything, as long as the person Liu Shijun provides can pass our assessment, then I will take as much as I have."

Zhao Yan asked in surprise, "Still in the assessment?"

Yin Kui said with a gloomy face, "Could it be that you think you can fool us with just a few people?"

There was a burning pain on Zhao Yan's face, he really had this idea.

Du Xi asked: "After we are ready, how do we trade?"

Yin Kui said sharply: "Boldly send it to Luoyang, as long as it is under the banner of our army, Yingchuan County can pass freely!"

"????"

Everyone is full of black lines, this Cao Shuo is really getting more and more arrogant, he dares to be so arrogant when he enters other people's territory.

Liu Bei suddenly thought that the premise of all this seemed to be to do one thing for them.

"I don't know what we are going to do for Marquis Wei?" Liu Bei looked at Yin Kui eagerly.

"Our spies encountered danger in Chang'an, and were chased by Dong Zhuo's soldiers all the way to the mountains fifty miles north of Fengxiang City. The situation is very critical now. We want to borrow General Zhang to help us bring them out!"

"What?" Zhang Fei's tiger eyes widened, looking at Yin Kui angrily, borrowing him this time?

Liu Bei calmed Zhang Fei's emotions and asked, "How many people do you have, and how many people does the other party have?"

Yin Kui said seriously: "I want to make this clear in advance. When we left Chang'an, there were 140 of us, and the opponent had [-] cavalry. But after entering the mountain, we lost contact with them. How many soldiers and horses did the opponent send?" Entering the mountains, you don't know."

"Fuck me, [-] cavalry?" Liu Bei was horrified.

This is not asking them to pick up people, it is simply sending them to death.

Yin Kui said: "Mr. Liu, don't panic, the opponent was [-] at the time, but there are definitely not [-] who entered the mountain."

Liu Bei wiped off his cold sweat and said, "That must be at least several thousand."

"They're all pawns. In the mountains, they can't ride horses. Otherwise, wouldn't Wuguan become a display?"

The terrain of Nanshan is dangerous, and the surrounding mountains and forests are impassable for large armies. This is why Wuguan is an important pass.

The route Deng Zhan took was the most dangerous one in order to prevent the opponent's large forces from chasing him.

It's just that they have been out of Chang'an for three days, and Cao Shuo was worried about their safety, so he asked Yin Kui to make a deal with Liu Bei.

Du Xi said: "My lord, the terrain of Nanshan is dangerous, and the opponent will not send too many troops, and if the opponent crosses Nanshan, it will also be a threat to the west of our army."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Third brother, you lead a thousand elite infantry and go to the north of Fengxiang City to search."

Zhang Fei said with a depressed face: "Brother, do you want to let the second brother go?"

He is really not interested in such miscellaneous things.

Yin Kui said: "The afternoon before yesterday, my lord led [-] soldiers outside Hangu Pass, killing Dong Zhuo's [-] troops and fleeing in embarrassment. Dong Zhuo's army was vulnerable. General Zhang need not worry."

Zhang Fei said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I am not as good as Cao Shuo, or that I am afraid."

Chapter 293 Guo Jia offered advice, Cao Ang besieged Pengcheng

"Mr. Feng Xiao, our army has been stationed in Peiguoxiang County for several days, when will we be able to enter?"

Cao Ang came to Guo Jia's residence eagerly, and asked when the troops would be dispatched. He could hardly bear it anymore.

Earlier, Guo Jia asked him to stay in Xiang County to observe the situation, and he followed Guo Jia's suggestion.

It's been three days, and if he stays here any longer, he's going to go crazy.

Guo Jia persuaded: "Young Master, don't worry. I have already written to Zang Ba in Taishan County. I hope he can assist us in attacking Xuzhou. I think there will be a reply today."

"Zang Ba?"

Cao Ang looked surprised. How could he assist in Taishan County? Would he be allowed to attack Xuzhou from the north and attack Tao Qian from both sides?

Guo Jia explained: "My lord, our army only has 3 troops. It is impossible to capture Xuzhou. Cao Shuo's soldiers and horses must be assisted."

Cao Ang worried: "If we ask the other party to assist us before we encounter obstacles, will the other party agree?"

If he was stopped by Tao Qian's army on the way to attack Xuzhou, and Zang Ba was sent out of Taishan County to attack Langya County, he might be able to share the pressure with them. He hasn't sent troops yet, how could he be so stupid.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, just wait for the news!"

Cao Ang waited for another half a day, and when the sun was about to set, Guo Jia came to his house.

"My lord, the time is ripe. Zang Ba led [-] troops out of Kaiyang and stationed in Jiqiu County, fifty miles south of Kaiyang City. Tao Qian was worried that Zang Ba would attack Donghai County, so he sent general Cao Bao and counselor Chen Deng to lead [-] troops. The army, stationed in Tan County, Donghai County, guard against Zang Ba."

"Really?"

Cao Ang was very pleasantly surprised. Tao Qian had only a few generals, the army relied on Cao Bao, the navy relied on Lu Fan, and the others were unreliable. If Cao Bao was transferred out of Xuzhou, he would have a smooth journey.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Our army can send troops now!"

Cao Ang looked at Guo Jia respectfully, and said, "Sir, please order!"

When the two came to Dianjiangtai, Guo Jia ordered: "Xia Houde, you lead five thousand soldiers to attack the steroid hill south of Pengcheng."

"promise!"

"After the capture of Stero Hill, take advantage of the situation and move eastward for eighty li, and set up camp twenty miles west of Qulu County. You must make the camp about five times as large, so that the other party will think that you have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

"promise!"

Although Xia Houde didn't know why he did this, as long as it was ordered by Guo Junshi, he could only do it.

"Cao Xiu, you lead [-] soldiers to attack Liu County. There are more than [-] defenders in Liu County. It is impossible to attack by force. You set up camp ten miles outside the city, waving flags, beating drums and shouting every day."

Cao Xiu said: "Military Master, I can take Liu County down!"

Let him just beat the drums and shout, he thinks this is an overkill, and he doesn't pay attention to the mere five thousand guards.

Guo Jia's face turned cold and said: "The sword seal is here, hurry up and prepare!"

"promise!"

Guo Jia looked at Cao Ang and said, "My lord, we will lead an army of [-] in Wu County, [-] miles southwest of Pengcheng."

Cao Ang asked in surprise, "Military Master, aren't we going to attack Pengcheng?"

Several counties around Pengcheng were attacked, why keep Pengcheng, there are only [-] soldiers and horses in the city, and the guard Yuan Sui is even a civil servant, who doesn't know how to charge.

Guo Jia explained: "My lord, although a strong attack on Pengcheng can take it quickly, Yuan Sui, the prefect of Pengcheng, has prepared a lot of defensive equipment in order to guard against our army. If we attack by force, we will definitely lose a lot. We only have [-] soldiers Horse, it’s better to be safe.”

"Okay, everything depends on the military division!"

In the prefect's mansion of Pengcheng, Yuan Sui was drinking and having fun.

A soldier ran in in a panic and said out of breath: "Report to the prefect, Cao Cao's army suddenly attacked Pengcheng, and Liu County in the north was surrounded by enemy troops. General Xia Houde broke through."

"what?"

Yuan Sui's drunkenness instantly sobered up a lot. Tao Qian asked him to lead an army of [-] to station in Pengcheng just to prevent Cao Cao from attacking Xuzhou.

Are they going to sneak attack on Xiapi country?

"Come on, call all the deputy generals!"

After a while, several lieutenants came to Yuan Sui's residence.

Dang Xian, Zhu Huan, Jing Shang, Qian Tong,

"Dang first, Zhu Huan, I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses. You will sneak attack Cao Jun's camp in Liu County during the night, and then assist the guards in Liu County to guard against Cao Cao's army."

"promise!"

Yuan Sui looked at Jing Shang and Qian Tong and continued: "The other party has taken Wu County and Steeqiu in the south, and will definitely attack Lu County and Qulu behind our army. You two will each lead [-] troops to support us. For the second county, you only need to stick to it, and I will ask the lord for help."

"promise!"

Yuan Sui dispatched troops and generals, and there were only [-] defenders left in Pengcheng, but for him, it was no problem to defend for two days. As long as Tao Qian sent reinforcements, he could defend Pengcheng.

Pengcheng Kingdom is the west gate of Xiapi. If Pengcheng is lost, then Xiapi will be in danger. Tao Qian will definitely send an army to defend Pengcheng.

A day later, Yuan Sui stood at the top of the city, looking at Cao Ang's army outside the city with a look of horror.

Looking at the scouts, he asked, "Where are our reinforcements?"

"General Qi, my lord sent Wang Lang to lead an army of [-] to support, but they stopped in Lu County and did not leave."

Yuan Sui asked in horror, "Why?"

"There are no less than [-] troops stationed outside Qulu City. General Wang Lang is worried that Xiapi will be lost. He plans to take a break and attack Cao Cao's army in Qulu."

"Then what do we do?"

Chapter 294

"Thank you Marquis Wei for sending someone to treat my father!"

Fu Shou bowed to Cao Shuo, Fu Wan's injury has healed a lot, maybe he will be fully recovered in a month.

"Miss Fu, you're welcome!"

While Cao Shuo and Fu Wan were chatting, Zhao Yu came in and said, "My lord, Lu Bu's envoy Jia Kui is here to see you!"

Fu Wan said in a low voice: "Although Marquis Wei is busy, Shou'er, send Wei Marquis off for me."

"promise!"

Fu Shou followed Cao Shuo all the way to Cao Shuo's big tent. Cao Shuo asked suspiciously, "Miss Fu, you can go back. General Fu still needs someone to take care of him."

Fu Shou blushed beautifully, and said coyly: "My father, let me follow Wei Hou from now on. He will have a doctor to take care of him, so there will be no problem."

Zhao Yu smiled at Cao Shuo, then pulled Fushou and said, "Sister, follow me!"

It is absolutely inappropriate for Fushou to follow Cao Shuo into the conference hall, so Zhao Yu can only take her to Cao Shuo's big tent.

"My subordinate Jia Kui, I have met Wei Hou!"

Cao Shuo asked, "Did Wen Yuan's family bring it?"

Jia Kui replied: "It's not only the family of General Wenyuan, but also the seal and ribbon of Hedong County!"

Cao Shuo took Yinshou and said with a smile on his face, "My father-in-law is really considerate of my son-in-law!"

Jia Kui's face darkened, I have never seen such a brazen person.

Is this understanding?Obviously forced to helpless.

After Jia Kui left, Cao Shuo called several generals and advisers to discuss the next move.

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "Zhicai, have you settled with Yin Kui?"

Xi Zhicai said: "It has been negotiated. Liu Bei agreed to help the lord search for Deng Zhan's traces. At the same time, he is recruiting shipwrights. Presumably, it will be ready in a few days."
