Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

"General Zilong, look who I captured alive!"

Deng Ai asked excitedly, pointing to the kneeling Cao Ang.

Zhao Yun looked up and down, but did not recognize who Cao Ang was.

"This man is Cao Cao's eldest son, the pseudo-Wei prince Cao Ang!"

"Cao Ang?"

Zhao Yun's eyes brightened and he said with surprise:

"I didn't expect that the traitor Cao would send his son to protect the food. What an unexpected surprise."

"Shi Zai, you have made a great contribution!"

Zhao Yun patted Deng Ai on the shoulder and laughed.

Deng Ai laughed loudly.

Zhao Yun glanced at the grain truck in front and asked:

"Shi Zai, have you checked these grain trucks to see if they are grain?"

"Of course it is."

Deng Ai nodded heavily, pointed his silver gun and said:

"All grain trucks carry real grain, not fake grain."

"My brother knows things like a god, but Liang Qi’s journey is fake!"

"This is Cao Cao's plan to build plank roads and save Chencang!"

The last trace of suspense in Zhao Yun's heart was lifted, and he breathed a sigh of relief. 30

Looking at thousands of grain trucks, Zhao Yun sneered:

"Let's rob the thief Cao of the 400,000 hu of life-saving food to see if he still has the confidence to defend Yecheng!"

"Shizai, let’s go back to the camp!"

The two generals looked at each other and laughed.

So Zhao Yun and Deng Mu led 10,000 cavalry to escort the 400,000 dendrobium grains and grass, and marched south back to the camp.

…

Yecheng.

Within the palace.

Cao Cao was standing with his hands behind his back, staring solemnly at the map hanging on the wall.

His eyes wandered between the two cities of Wu Shi and Liang Qi from time to time.

"By this time, our army should have clashed with the Yan army..."

Cao Cao muttered to himself, his face slightly cast into a shadow.

According to previous intelligence, nearly 10,000 Yan army cavalry had left the Yan camp in the south and bypassed Yecheng went north.

The scouts in the north also sent back intelligence, claiming that the Yan army, which was robbing food, was also moving towards the front line of Liangqi.

Various signs showed that Liu Bei would gather nearly 50,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Liangqi City. Nan Li attacked his"400,000 dendrobium grains and grass".

However, four days have passed, and Cao Xiu has not yet received any news of the battle with the Yan army.

This made Cao Cao a little worried, fearing that they were building a plank road openly and secretly plotting Chen Cang's plan. , will be seen through by Deng Mu

"That’s 400,000 bushels of grain and grass. It’s the lifeblood of Wei Dynasty. If something goes wrong,……"

Cao Cao's brows deepened and he became more and more worried.

"Father, don’t worry too much"

"Wen Ruo's plan of building the plank road openly and secretly plotting against Chen Cang is extremely ingenious."

"I thought that Deng Mu would be concealed this time and would never be able to find out."

"Maybe by this time the eldest brother had led the grain truck past Wu Shi and was on his way back."

Cao Zhi saw Cao Cao's worry and smiled and felt relieved.

Cao Cao's worries subsided a little, but he glanced at Xun Yu calmly.

Obviously,

Cao Zhi's relief was not enough to make him feel at ease.

Only Xun Yu Only then could he feel relieved.

After coughing a few times, Xun Yu slowly said:

"Deng Mu was indeed scheming, and his cleverness was far inferior to that of his ministers."

"However, I still have some confidence in this plan. I should be 70% sure that I can hide it from Deng Mu."

70% sure.

That's a lot.

The person I'm specifically targeting is Deng Mu, not any ordinary counselor.

"Okay, okay, with Wen Ruo's words, I will feel relieved."

"Come on, come on, hurry up and prepare a feast to welcome the wind for me, Ang'er."

The clouds on Cao Cao's face disappeared and he turned back to his seat.

The ministers began to get busy with the reception banquet.

Cao Cao completely relaxed and started planning how to defend Ye after receiving 400,000 bushels of grain and grass. City, win this protracted battle with Liu Bei.

Just when he was thinking about it, the Tiger Guard hurried in and reported Ma Chao's return.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and shouted:

"Ang'er and the others are back, what are you waiting for, announce now!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Cao was excited, but Xun Yu changed his face slightly, and a hint of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

If Cao Ang returns and the Hu Guards enter, he should be rewarded for the return of the crown prince.

But Hu However, Wei happened to report that it was Ma Chao who had returned.

Cao Cao did not see this subtle detail, nor did Cao Zhi, but Xun Yu had an insight into it and heard it.

This made him feel uneasy.

For a moment, he was disgraced. Ma Chao entered the palace sadly

"Phew!"

Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of Cao Cao.

This kneeling also wiped out the joy and expectation on Cao Cao's face in an instant.

"Meng Qi, what's going on with you?"

"What about Ang'er, why doesn't he come to see me?"

Cao Cao asked immediately, his tone of voice already showing uneasiness.

Ma Chao hesitated, as if he had difficulty speaking.

Cao Cao became anxious and shouted:"What's going on, tell me quickly!"[]

At this point, Ma Chao knew that he had nothing to hide, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"The crown prince and his ministers had just passed Wu Shi to protect food and grass, when they encountered the Yan army's cavalry attack."

"The ministers and others formed a frontal formation to block Yan Qi."

"Unexpectedly, the enemy army was so cunning that they unexpectedly ambush all the troops behind them and took advantage of the situation to break the infantry formation commanded by the prince."

"Our army was attacked from both inside and outside, and the whole army was in chaos. Even if I tried my best, I could not reverse the situation."

"His Royal Highness was captured by the enemy general Deng Ai!"

"All 650 of us, 400,000 husks of grain and grass, were snatched away by the Yan army!"

Ma Chao's voice was hoarse and he told the sad news in a tragic tone.

Cao Cao was stunned.

His body was as stiff as ice, frozen on the throne.

Cao Zhi was so shocked that his whole body was shaking, as if it were an icy abyss.

As for Xun Yu.

The calmness of sitting and watching the clouds rise disappeared at this moment.

The tea cup in my hand also fell on the table.

"The plan of building a plank road openly and secretly plotting against Chen Cang failed?"

"The big-eared thief actually saw through my plan and calculated that my food and grass were on the way to Wu Shi?"

"Is my 400,000 grains gone?"

"Ang'er was also captured by the big-eared thief?"

"This, this..."

Cao Cao muttered to himself, his voice was hoarse and panicked, and he was already in a state of despair.

He stood up unsteadily, stumbled down the steps step by step, and walked towards Ma Chao.

Ma Chao He looked at Cao Cao tremblingly and uneasily.

"Father~~"

Cao Zhi was terrified and trembling, looking at the absent-minded Cao Cao, not knowing what to do.

"God will kill me, Cao Cao——"

Cao Cao, who was lost in his soul, suddenly screamed to the sky.

Then he spat out a mouthful of black blood, staggered, and fell to the ground..
