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

Cao Shuo began to think hard. The relationship network of the former host was not complicated, and most of the contacts were Cao family members.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of where I had an old friend.

After a while, a middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, led by the guards, came to the lobby.

Chapter 92 Sun Ce Marriage

"The lower official said, "I have seen the General Hussars!"

The visitor bowed respectfully to Cao Shuo, Cao Shuo looked at him carefully, and said that he absolutely did not know this public enemy, even his predecessor 'Cao Shuo' had no impression of this person.

"Who are you? Pretending to be my old friend?"

"Shhhhh!"

The generals in the hall pulled out their weapons one after another, watching Gong Qiu with vigilance, saying that this guy dared to show up the old friend of the lord, it is simply hateful.

"Master Cao, have you forgotten? We are young!"

"Fat?"

Cao Shuo looked gloomy, you guys are already in their thirties, how dare you call me a kid?

Gongqiu explained: "My father is Jibei State Meritorious Cao Gongqiujiao, and he had a good relationship with your father back then. Since I was ten years older than you, I often took you and Cao Ang to hunt birds!"

Cao Shuo looked at Gong Qiucheng with black lines all over his head, and he finally remembered that Gong Qiucheng was the long history of Changsha County and Sun Jian's general!

"You don't have to hunt birds. What are you doing here? Sun Ce is still alive?"

Gongqiu explained with a smile:

"General Cao was joking. Mr. Bo Fu was alive and well, and Liu Biao threw away his helmet and armor when he beat him. He stayed in Xiangyang and dared not go out of the city to fight."

"Is Sun Jian's body coming back?"

Cao Shuo looked at Gong Qiucheng with a playful face.

"Uh……"

Gongqiu said that he dared not speak out now because Sun Jian's body was a sore spot for their entire Sun family army. After fighting for so long, they didn't know where Sun Jian's body was.

"Don't get too close, just talk about something, even if Cao Cao is here, you have to follow my rules."

"Bo Fu wants to buy a war horse from you!"

Gongqiu said that Cao Shuo was so ruthless, so he had no choice but to explain his reason for coming.

"Sun Ce, tiger father and tiger son, under normal circumstances, I don't sell horses for such heroes."

Gong Qiu asked: "General Cao provided the war horses of Yangzhou governor Liu Yao and Jingzhou Liu Biao. They are all heroes in the world, aren't they nobler than my lord?"

"It's true that they are governors of the state, but they are by no means the heroes I think. If they were heroes, why would they let Sun Ce hit the door?"

Gong Qiu said speechlessly: "How did General Cao sell us a war horse?"

If there was a second possibility, Gongqiu said that he would never come to Cao Shuo, a man who eats people and does not spit out his bones. He controlled the coast of the Yellow River, cut off the war horse business in the north, and asked his grandpa to sue his grandma if he wanted to buy war horses in the south.

"Even if you have horses, how long can you stay in Changsha?"

Cao Shuo looked at Gongchou meaningfully and said that Liu Biao was holding Sun Jian's body in his hand. If he used this to threaten Sun Ce to withdraw from Changsha before returning the body, Sun Ce would definitely agree.

But where he went after he got Sun Jian's body became a problem.

In the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce chose to join Yuan Shu, and then her mother took her younger brothers and sisters back to Wu County. Later, she used this as an excuse to exchange three thousand soldiers and horses with Yuan Shu's Jade Seal, and has since left.

"What does General Cao mean by that?"

Cao Shuo shook his head and did not answer, but changed the subject and asked, "How many war horses do you plan to have? What will you exchange for them?"

"This……"

It's difficult for the public enemy to say that Cao Shuo doesn't want money. Even if Cao Cao asked him to buy food and grass, he would exchange it with generals, beauties, and common people.

With my status as a small wig, I'm afraid I don't have the face to exchange money for war horses.

"I seem to remember that Sun Jian still owes me 20 stones of food and grass. I used the wounded soldiers and horses to offset a batch, and there are as many as [-] to [-]. You won't just renege on the debt just because Sun Jian is dead."

Gongqiu said that he was angry for a while, how could he forget this matter, they still owe Cao Shuo food and grass.

"Eighteen princes, now one Wang Kuang is dead. He has no children and no daughters, and has become headless, but Sun Jian is different."

Gong Qiu said awkwardly: "General Cao, can you take it easy?"

"It's okay slowly, let's settle the previous account first, and then let's talk about the war horse."

"General Cao, our army is currently short of food, materials, and talents. There is no way to fulfill our promise!"

"Then you guys are talking nonsense, you lack everything, what are you doing here?"

"My lord wants to marry General Cao!"

Gong Qiu said that he had no choice but to use this trick. Before coming, Sun Ce had asked his sister to come with him. No matter what, he had to buy a war horse from Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo said disdainfully: "Cao Cao's daughter is here with me. Not only can she not get a grain of food or a war horse, but she has to send me her living expenses every month. Do you think that Sun Ce's baby sister is still in her infancy?" , what can I change?"

Cao Shuo clearly remembered that the Chibi War took place in 208, when Sun Shangxiang was less than 20 years old, and this year is only 190 years old, you fucking want to marry me?

Gong Qiu said: "I heard that General Cao adopted a adopted son, who is only two years old, who is about the same age as my lord's younger sister."

This is really a good thing and bad things spread thousands of miles away. How do you feel that the whole world knows about him and the Yin family.

"Oh? Are you going to marry my son?"

"Ok!"

"Not interested in!"

Cao Shuo resolutely refused, I am only 15 years old, and it is not a problem to live another 15 years!

Xun Yu said: "I heard that Sun Jian had more than one daughter. I don't know why Sun Ce chose the youngest sister? Could there be another plan?"

Ju Shou said: "Use the smallest one, there are many variables, and the profit is maximized. It's a good plan."

Dian Wei said indignantly, "Damn it, the marriage is done with children, thanks to him, Sun Ce, who figured it out, and is not afraid of ridicule from the world."

Gongqiu said that his old face was red when he was said, and he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and he knew it would not work.

Cao Shuo sighed and said, "For the sake of our being young and the friendship between me and Wentai, I will sell your face today and let Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang come to Jizhou as hostages for ten years. I will spare you food and grass.”

Gong Qiu said angrily: "Cao Zixiang, don't deceive people too much."

This fucking is not shallow friendship?It's just nonsense.

"Humph!"

Cao Shuo snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I don't mind preparing another [-] war horses for Liu Biao, anyway, Liu Biao has plenty of supplies."

"you……"

Gongqiu said that he suddenly felt that they shouldn't come to Cao Shuo to buy war horses. This is simply asking for their own death.

At this moment, Wang Ling hurried over and whispered something in Cao Shuo's ear, Cao Shuo looked at Gong Qiucheng in surprise.

"It turned out that a hostage has already been brought, so let's do it like this, the food and grass will be free for you, but you need to send Sun Quan to Jizhou within ten days, otherwise the interest generated every day will not be low."

"impossible!"

Gong Qiucheng looked at Cao Shuo in horror, this guy already knew that he was not alone.

"You don't think that a baby girl can offset 10,000+ stone grain and grass. If it's a boy baby, I can still consider it."

"We want war horses!"

"Then send another general, or one of his younger brothers or sisters."

"you……"

Chapter 93 Liu Bei's Careful Thoughts

Under the ridicule of all the civil and military people in Jizhou, Gong Qiu said that he left Jizhou. Not only did he fail to complete the task this time, he also took Sun Ce's sister into it.

Warhorse Liangcao saw nothing, not even Sun Shangxiang's fiancé.

Xun Yu said, "My lord, do you think Sun Ce can defeat Liu Biao?"

Cao Shuo said without hesitation: "No, although Liu Biao is not brave enough, most of the Jingzhou clan is biased towards Liu Biao, not to mention he still has the trump card of Sun Jian in his hand."

Xi Zhicai asked: "The lord wants to hurt both of them?"

"It's impossible to talk about both sides being hurt. Sun Ce is not that capable. Just now, Gongqiu said that they beat Liu Biao to the back of Xiangyang. If I remember correctly, according to Zhicai's information, Sun Ce's army is attacking Jiangling. The guards are Wenpin and Huang Zhong."

Ju Shou asked, "My lord, have you heard of these two?"

"Wen Pin's ability is about the same as that of Zhang Yan, and slightly lower than that of Zhang He. He can do both land and water battles. Sun Ce may not be able to take him down. What's more, Liu Biao has the Kuai family of Jingzhou as his assistant. It is even more difficult to win. Disaster!"

Cao Shuo didn't think that Sun Ce could defeat Liu Biao by simply recruiting some troops. Liu Biao was not comparable to Liu Yao.

Tian Feng asked: "The lord mentioned Huang Zhong just now, I don't know what the lord thinks of this Huang Zhong!"

Cao Shuo thought about it. Huang Zhong should be around 40 years old now, which is his peak period. As for whether it is the early stage or the late stage, it is hard to say.

At the age of 58, he was still in an inextricable fight with Guan Yu. If Huang Zhong hadn't had a problem with his horse, he might have lasted a hundred rounds.

Now 40 years old, it is very likely that he has just entered his peak age, and belongs to the category of late bloomers.

"It is said that this man has extraordinary martial arts skills, superb sword skills, and even more excellent archery skills. I am afraid that no one else in our army is his opponent except me."

"what?"

The generals did not expect that Cao Shuo would give Huang Zhong such a high evaluation. Where did Liu Biao recruit him?Isn't Zhao Yundian and Wei his opponent?

Zhao Yun said unhappily: "How does my lord know that I am not as good as him?"

Cao Shuo said: "Zilong has more room to grow than him. He has already entered the peak period. Maybe he is on par with Lu Bu."

"what!"

"how is this possible!"

This time, not only the generals were shocked, but also all the counselors. It was not weaker than Lu Bu's force. How many people are there in this world?

"This person is relatively low-key, and he rarely competes with others. Under Liu Biao, he is just a general."

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Shuo in surprise, thinking, where did the lord get the information, his Jin Yiwei had no information about Huang Zhong.

What I, the head of intelligence, has failed too much, and I still need the lord to collect information by myself.

Xun Yu said meaningfully, "It's no wonder my lord doesn't like Sun Ce. If Sun Ce confronts such a person, it will be a disaster."

Cao Shuo explained: "This man doesn't have a serious intention to kill, unlike Lu Bu who is eager to win, even if he confronts Sun Ce, he will not make things difficult for him."

Everyone sighed, they didn't expect the lord to know Huang Zhong so well. Could it be that the lord is interested in him?

A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Shuo's mouth, he gave Xi Zhicai a meaningful look, and said, "This person has a weakness!"

"weakness?"

Everyone looked at Cao Shuo in surprise, hoping that he would tell him quickly. Since he has a weakness, it is extremely easy to kill or recruit.

"His son has been weak and sick since he was a child!"

Cao Shuo explained this sentence, and Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and he made up his mind.

Cao Shuo gave him the prescription, but he just took it a few times with the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect his health to really improve. This made him surprised that his lord was also good at medicine.

His illness has troubled him for many years, Cao Shuo just showed him casually, and he was cured. He didn't believe that Cao Shuo studied it by himself.

"The subordinate understands, I will make this matter beautiful for the master!"

Xi Zhicai thought to himself, since Lu Bu is not willing to take refuge for the time being, it would be fine to get a copy of Lu Bu, it doesn't matter if there is Lu Bu or not.

"Sun Ce is too strong. The so-called too strong is easy to break. I don't think Sun Ce will become the enemy of our army, or he will not live until then."

Cao Shuo's analysis made everyone stunned. He just inherited his father's business, and the lord predicted that he would not live long. What a great hatred.

"My lord, I don't think Liu Bei can let him be the governor of Yuzhou!"

Xun Yu advised again that Liu Bei's threat was greater than Yuan Shu's, and he had two generals who could defeat thousands of people under his command. If he got another strategist who was good at strategy, wouldn't it be soaring into the sky.

Since ancient times, there have been talented people in Yuzhou, the Yellow Emperor was born here, Xia Yu established his capital in Yingchuan, Lu Buwei in the Warring States Period, Zhang Liang and Chao Cuo in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and now the four major families in Yingchuan, only the Xun family is loyal to the lord.

Even if Chen Qun is added, there are only two families. As long as Liu Bei randomly climbs into one family, he can gain a firm foothold in Yuzhou.

Moreover, there are many hermits in Yingchuan, and there are many ancient geniuses. He felt that Cao Shuo's move was too dangerous, and he made himself a big enemy for no reason.
