Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

Occupying the palace and obtaining a large amount of property, Zhuang Kui held a banquet here for several days.

After all, in Zhuang Kui's view, Shi Hu should fight Li Yuan and others now, and it's not time for him to make a move.

In the hall, cups of wine were mixed, and laughter and laughter were endless, until a burst of hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty is not good, the stone tiger has surrounded my Dian capital!"

"what!!!"

Chapter 118

The time went back to a few days ago, because Bo Wang Yuanfeng had already taken away most of the army, so when Cao Chao led a thousand elite soldiers to the city, Bo Guo surrendered readily.

He didn't even have the intention to struggle, but the speed at which he lay flat made Cao Chao gasp.

Are all people in Bo country so spineless?

Or are these guys holding back some bad water and wanting to bully me?

Cao Chao was very careful, and deliberately divided the troops into several parts, scattered outside the city to facilitate his support, and then carefully led his troops into the capital.

But after entering, I finally understood the reason.

All you can see are some dark and thin residents, rows of dilapidated wooden houses, ventilated and breathable...

As for the so-called Bo King's Palace, it is actually a bungalow not much bigger than an ordinary manor, with several dark and thin princesses, hundreds of old soldiers, more than ten old servants...

"..."

Cao Chao was dumbfounded.

That's it?

Who gave Yuanfeng the courage to be king here?

Simply outrageous!

……

Inside the "Royal Palace" of the Bo Kingdom.

Zhu Ying's voice wafted through the room.

"My lord, this subordinate just went to check the granaries and warehouses. The grain and grass are only enough for the army for seven days. As for the armor in the warehouse... nothing is better than nothing."

"It's careless!"

Cao Chao frowned.

We all know that the guys in Nanzhong are poor, but they didn't expect to be so poor.

"What is the opinion of the military division?"

Cao Chao asked weakly.

If Yuan Feng hadn't been killed already, Cao Chao would have thought of returning this broken place to the other party after getting some food and grass.

This ghostly place wants money, no money, beautiful women, no beautiful women, it's not as good as a town in Qi State, who cares?

Besides, taking over this Bo country means taking care of those poor people, which is simply an extra burden, okay?

This business is a loss to grandma's house!

At this moment, Cao Chao finally realized that it was no wonder that the Bo Kingdom was so weak that it was not wiped out.

It's so poor that no one else dares to provoke it, for fear that someone who is not good will be touched by it...

Zhu Ying didn't know Cao Chao's thoughts, and thought that the other party trusted her.

After pondering for a while, he said:

"For today's plan, should we use war to support war?"

"Oh?" Cao Chao's eyes lit up, this method is good.

After all, the system task is to unify Nanzhong as soon as possible.

"Military division may wish to elaborate."

"promise!"

Zhu Ying asked people to unfold a map of Nanzhong, and began to talk about it.

"According to the news from some people who fled from Qilan Kingdom, Dian King Zhuangkui captured Qilan Kingdom three days ago when Li Yuan sent troops and Lan Kingdom was empty."

"There is such a thing!" Cao Chao's eyes lit up.

This Zhuang Kui even occupied the capital of his eldest nephew, what a bad move.

Yes, he is a ruthless person!

"That's why my subordinates suggest abandoning Bo State immediately, and the whole army goes straight to the capital of the King of Dian!"

Zhu Ying pointed to a certain direction on the map and said excitedly

"The Kingdom of Dian is hundreds of times larger than here. It reaches Songming in the north and is adjacent to Mimo State; it reaches Qujing in the east and is adjacent to Laozhu State; it reaches Xiushan in the south; it reaches Longchuan River in the west and is adjacent to Kunming State. It is the most affluent place in South China.

"The population is 30, and the money and food are countless.

"If we can seize Dian Kingdom..."

Zhu Ying didn't go on, because he believed that Cao Chao had understood what he meant.

"Wonderful!"

Cao Chao slapped his thigh.

"In this way, we can lure Yuan Kui back to help quickly, and give him a spot to fight for help!"

"???"

Zhu Ying was stunned.

Brother, we two don't seem to be on the same channel.

Zhu Ying's original intention was that as long as the capital of the Dian king was seized, the army's money and food would be assured.

Unexpectedly, Cao Chao thought deeper than him, and immediately thought of dealing with Yuan Kui.

Although he didn't know what it was to fight for help, Zhu Ying was not a stupid person, and he could understand Cao Chao's meaning after thinking about it carefully.

"Sure enough!"

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up immediately, and he finally understood Cao Chao's overall plan.

If Yuan Kui knew that his capital had been captured, he would rush back in a hurry.

At that time, choose a hidden place to ambush, and nine out of ten will succeed.

Thinking of this, the way Zhu Ying looked at Cao Chao completely changed.

A great general!

Just saying it casually is a clever plan, even better than Chunshen Jun Huang Xie.

At this moment, Zhu Ying couldn't help looking forward to the future.

Taking refuge in the leadership of such a person, there is no guarantee that he will not be able to achieve a great cause in the future.

As the saying goes, it's a blessing in disguise, but at this moment, Zhu Ying is a little lucky to see Huang Xie's true face as soon as possible.

"What is the military commander thinking?"

"..."

Just when Zhu Ying was in a trance, Cao Chao's voice came from next to her ear, and she woke up quickly.

"My lord, the atonement, this subordinate was just thinking about food and grass."

"Don't think about it, empty the granary, and the army will set off tomorrow!"

With a wave of his hand, Cao Chao decisively determined the strategy.

"promise!"

"In addition, the military division has worked too hard during this period, and I decided to give you all the princesses of the Bo Kingdom.

"Don't work too hard for the military division today, save some energy and go back and enjoy yourself, wow ha ha ha!"

"..."

……

After dealing with military affairs, Cao Chao returned to the backyard.

It was getting late, and the girls happened to be dining here.

The atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Mrs. Shi has to take care of Cao Ang, so she usually doesn't come out to eat.

The startled salamander sips the porridge, keeps his eyes fixed, and looks indifferent to everything, full of iceberg beauty.

On the other hand, Ehuang and Nvying behaved elegantly and calmly. When drinking porridge, they always pursed their red lips lightly, showing excellent upbringing.

Li Yanyan blinked her tender and beautiful eyes from time to time, sticking her two slender fingers to the chopsticks, gently stirring the porridge in the bowl, not eating it, just playing like this.

"My husband is back!"

Xiu Niang was the first to discover Cao Chao, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of all the women were immediately attracted, and everyone looked at Cao Chao at the door.

"Everyone is here!"

Cao Chao ran to Xiuniang's side naturally, and sat down next to her, with his dog's paws naturally wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

He reached out and grabbed the steamed buns before the case and gnawed them down, but he kept glancing at the girls from the corner of his eyes.

Seeing that the looks of the women were the same as usual, Cao Chao felt proud for a while.

As the so-called Gongdou is no small matter, Cao Chao had to manage it deliberately.

This guy sits in a different seat every meal, Xiuniang for breakfast, Li Yanyan for lunch, and Ehuang's for dinner.

And it depends on whether there are any special circumstances. For example, when Nvying happened to have relatives visiting yesterday, Cao Chao specially adjusted the order.
