Chapter 945

Xu Du, in the city.

The palace of King Wei.

Today's Zhang Xiu lives in Cao Cao's Wei palace. He is now in Xudu, and his troops are already sweeping the rest of Yanzhou.

Since Cao Cao withdrew, Zhang Xiu took it for herself.

Took these places.

In order to gradually encroach on the state of Wei controlled by Cao Cao, especially in the areas under Cao Cao's rule, the people's life is still tolerable. Therefore, it is not easy for the people to attach themselves to the Qin Dynasty. Many officials need to be adjusted to weaken Cao Cao's influence.

All this needs to be arranged.

In the study, Zhang Xiu is looking at the news from the royal guards.

The news is all about Cao Cao.

Today, Cao Cao retreated to Taishan county and built fortifications in Taishan County, ready to resist Zhang Xiu.

Outside the study, footsteps came.

But Wang Yue came in in a hurry. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, Guo Tu, there is news about Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao, who has never taken action, has made arrangements."

With that, Wang Yue handed over the letter.

After receiving the letter, Zhang Xiu quickly scanned it, laughed and said: "this time, Guo Tu really sent another big gift. Last time, Guo Tu sent out the news of Yuan Xi's attack, so that Chen Dao could capture Yuan Xi alive and 3000 yuan soldiers alive. Now, Yuan Shao is ready to help Cao Cao. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "however, Yuan Shao did not send troops in, but arranged a team of soldiers to escort a batch of grain, weapons and horses to Taishan county. Obviously, it is because of the loss of Cao Cao's support. "

Wang Yue said: "Guo TU was forced to surrender at that time, but he must have been driven by the wind. If your highness can't win for a long time, he won't help us. But now, his Highness has won one after another to destroy Cao Cao, so Guo Tu also hopes to make contributions and gain his Highness's trust. "

Zhang Xiu said, "that's what it is."

After a pause, Zhang Xiu said, "come and call Zhao Yun."

The attendant outside the door, go to inform immediately.

Not long after, Zhao Yun entered the study, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "at the end, General Zhao Yun, meet your highness."

When Zhang Xiu heard Zhao Yun's address, she was not surprised. Whether it was Zhao Yun or Zhang Ren, she strictly abided by the rules and did not want to overstep them. Zhang Xiu said: "younger martial brother, there is one thing you need to carry out now."

Zhao Yun said, "Your Highness, please tell me!"

Zhang Xiu said: "just got the news from Guo Tu, Yuan Shao has arranged a team of soldiers to escort a batch of grain, weapons and horses to Taishan county. You mobilize 3000 Baima Yicong under your command to leave Xudu as soon as possible and go to the border of Taishan county to hide and prepare to intercept this batch of grain and weapons."

"Here it is

Zhao Yun's fist should be thrown.

After a pause, Zhao Yun said, "Your Highness, do you have more detailed information?"

"No!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said: "the specific route, the number of people on the other side, or even more information, is not available. Now there is only such a simple piece of news. "

Zhao Yun said: "the end will understand!"

"Go

Zhang Xiu waved her hand.

"Here it is

Zhao Yun turned and stepped down.

Wang Yue said: "Your Highness, if General Zhao succeeds in intercepting Yuan Shao's motorcade like this. At that time, will Yuan Shao doubt Guo Tu, which will have an impact on him? After all, today's Guo Tu is of great help to his highness. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "first, the royal guards of Daqin are well-known and well-informed. The news of Yuan Shao's escorting grain team is leaked, so it may not be suspected of Guo Tu's body. "

"Second, even if it comes to Guo Tu's suspicion, that's what Guo Tu should consider. If he can't avoid this problem, what can he do? "

"Third, even if Guo TU was dealt with, it would be OK. In the great Jin Dynasty, even people like Guo Tu were subordinated to the king. After the news is detonated, we can imagine how much influence it will have on the official circles of the Jin Dynasty. "

Zhang Xiu said: "so all this, do not have to worry."

"Your Highness is wise!"

Wang Yue bowed slightly and spoke respectfully.

In Zhang Xiu's eyes, however, there is a look of expectation. If Cao Cao gets Yuan Shao's support, and eventually all the grain and weapons fall into Zhang Xiu's hands, how angry would Cao Cao be?

Zhang Xiu is looking forward to it.

Yanzhou, Taishan county.

Cao Cao is now stationed in fenggao County, the seat of Taishan county.

Cao Cao's palace was also set up here.

Today, Cao Cao has joined Cao ang, Xun Yu, Xun you and others, and all the troops and personnel belonging to Cao Cao have gathered here. However, for Cao Cao, the most important thing was that the people under his command were in a panic.Many officials under Wei Guozhi were worried about being defeated by Zhang Xiu.

After all, Zhang Xiu is powerful.

In particular, the loss of Xu Du led to the loss of a lot of money. Even if Cao ang and others withdrew ahead of time and took away a large amount of money, food and weapons, they could not take all of them away, resulting in considerable losses.

Such a loss made Cao Cao lose a lot.

So during this period of time, Cao Cao's life was quite difficult. He was constantly transferring grain from all over the country. In addition, he was also recruiting soldiers to prepare to resist Zhang Xiu.

In the palace, Cao Cao is dealing with government affairs.

Today's Cao Cao is too busy to touch the ground, and there are so many things.

In particular, Cao Cao's temples are completely white and old. Originally, Cao Cao was ill, but now, his illness is more and more serious, his body is thin, although not to the point of being emaciated, but also his body is incomparably weak.

"Step on it! Step on it

A sound of footwork came from outside the hall.

But Cheng Yu hurried in.

Cheng Yu's face, brimming with a faint smile, said: "Your Highness, Yuan Shao arranged for people to send letters."

Seeing Yuan Shao's smile rising, Cao Cao said, "Mr. Zhong De's face is full of smiles. Is that good news?"

Cheng Yu replied, "Your Highness, we are in trouble. Although Yuan Shao did not take the initiative to send troops for help, Yuan Shao arranged for soldiers to escort a batch of grain, weapons and horses. There were 100000 stones, 30000 swords, 6000 sets of armour, and 3000 horses. It's not a heavy gift, but at this time, it's very important for us. It can be regarded as a timely help, which can temporarily alleviate our urgent need. "

When Cao Cao heard this, he also laughed and said, "it's true that weapons and armour are of great use, not to mention the 100000 stone grain and 3000 war horses. This time, Yuan Shao was generous. "

Cheng Yu stroked his white beard under his jaw and said, "once the state of Wei was in a desperate situation, the state of Jin, Yuan Shao's, would not escape. Yuan Shao did it for himself. "

Cao Cao nodded: "yes, but Yuan Shao is too short-sighted. If he unites with us and forces together, he may not lose if he directly fights Zhang Xiu. However, Yuan Shao is afraid of Zhang Xiu and thinks more about his second son Yuan Xi, so he is not willing to fight with Zhang Xiu. This time, Zhang Xiu just stationed a little troops in Hanoi County, which scared Yuan Shao not to act rashly. Today's Yuan Shao, even if he is not willing to be suppressed by Zhang Xiu, is scared to death. "

Cheng Yu said, "what your highness said is true."

Cao Cao sighed: "but now, we also have to organize defense fortifications as soon as possible. Zhang Xiu constantly sweeps all counties and countries in Yanzhou. It won't take long to return."

Cheng Yu said, "it's true!"

Cao Cao said, "go ahead, Duke Zhongde!"

"Here it is

Cheng Yu is no longer delay time, turned back, to deal with the matter in his custody.
