Dongguan County garrison general Cao Bi and Cao Haese were Cao Bao's clansmen. He relied on Cao Bao's nepotism to get the position of garrison general. This was a status and power that countless people could not achieve. Cao Hu also showed the nature of the Cao Bao clan.

He didn't do anything else while he was in office. He did corruption and bribery very well. In just a few years, he made a huge fortune. This guy almost dominated all kinds of industries in Dongguan County. This guy is still very lustful.

At this time, several brothels were specially built, making Dongguan County the most desirable place for lustful people from all walks of life in Xuzhou.

If Guan Yu had not occupied Beihai and Dongguan County was close to Beihai, he would have wanted to continue to stay in Dongguan County. As early as when Guan Yu occupied Beihai, Cao Hu sent a large number of gifts to Cao Bao, hoping that he could be transferred to the rear.

, but every time it comes to nothing.

This time Cao Hu felt troubled because Guan Yu led his troops to attack Dongguan County. Guan Yu led his troops to attack Dongguan County. Although this man did not have much ability, he had a little self-awareness. He knew that he could not defend Dongguan.

He immediately sent someone to ask for help from the Xuzhou Administrative Office. This time, there was a reply from the top leader of Xuzhou, but it was not good news such as allowing him to retreat, but asking him to stand still and wait for help. Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei, Lord Liu and Cao Hong

The general will lead the army to come. If Dongguan is captured by Guan Yu before the army arrives, then he does not need to come back alive and will directly come to see him.

Cao Hu felt a chill on his neck. He knew that this was no joke. Back then, Liu Zhoumu in Xuzhou was bullied badly by his family leader Cao Bao. He might not dare to do anything to Cao Bao, but to deal with a cat and dog like him, a city defender would be negligent in his duties.

For this crime, his entire family could be killed.

In desperation, Cao Bi had no choice but to bite the bullet.

It's a pity that Cao Bi, the garrison general, is an idiot. How can his subordinates be so good? He is usually good at bullying the people. If he wants them to go to the battlefield to fight, isn't that just giving food to his opponent?

Cao Bi decisively chose to defend, at least he would not be broken by Guan Yu's wave.

Unfortunately, Cao Bi underestimated Guan Yu and overestimated the troops under his command. Guan Yu conquered all the cities in Dongguan County and directly reached Dongguan City, the seat of Dongguan County.

Guan Yu quickly surrounded Dongguan City, and then discussed with Guo Tu and Hou Cheng how to quickly break through Dongguan City.

"Is there any information about the defender of Dongguan City?" Guan Yu asked.

Hou Cheng took out a piece of information and after reading it, said: "General Guan, the general of the Dongguan City garrison is Cao Bi, a member of Cao Bao's clan. This person does not have much ability, but he is very good at corruption and bribery."

"It turns out to be waste! Then there is no need to discuss it and start the attack immediately. Reinforcements from Xuzhou will arrive soon. Our army must break through Dongguan as soon as possible!" Guan Yu issued the attack order on the spot.

Guan Yu's army began a large-scale attack on Dongguan City.

Dongguan City is a very strong city. If it is defended by a capable military general, it is not that simple to break through Dongguan City. But Cao Bi is a timid guy who is afraid of death. This guy has not yet been seen in Guan Yu

When the war started, he was frightened to death by the murderous aura among Guan Yu's troops.

Now that Guan Yu launched a large-scale attack, Cao Bi knew that he could not hold it at all, so he decisively chose to surrender in Kaicheng. This Dongguan County was not Cao Hu's one-note speech, and there were many people who opposed the surrender. The prefect Cheng Li and Cheng Zian were opposed to it.

The most fierce one, he climbed up from a humble family. Although he had no power or background, he had a bloody spirit that was not inferior to that of a military commander. Of course, Cao Bi could not let this troublesome civil servant block his way of survival and pulled out his weapon on the spot.

The knife chopped off the backbone of the prefect, and his head was used as a certificate of surrender. The prefect was killed, and everyone else became a coward. It is a good thing to have blood and backbone, but it is in vain if you lose your life.

The soldiers of Guan Yu's army, who were holding their breath and preparing for a massacre, were stunned by the actions of the defenders. How could you do this? Don't you know that simply surrendering like this is very unambitious?

For Guan Yu, it would be great if he could capture Dongguan City without spending a single soldier. So he accepted Cao Bi's surrender.

"The guilty general Cao Bi led Dongguan City to greet the king." Cao Bi decisively knelt down in front of Guan Yu. Cheng Li's head was treated as a meeting gift by Cao Bi.

"Well, get up." Guan Yu despised people who surrendered without a fight.

Cao Bi didn't care about this kind of thing at all. He very diligently brought Guan Yu and others into Dongguan City. The garrison generals chose to surrender. Of course, the defenders of Dongguan City all laid down their weapons. Guan Yu's troops soon

Taken over the defense of Dongguan City.

As soon as he walked into Dongguan City, Guan Yu felt that something was wrong. Generally, cities are full of residential buildings and shops, but there are very few residential buildings in Dongguan City, and most of them are restaurants, brothels, and gambling stalls. There are also restaurants on the brothels.

When the beautifully dressed woman saw a large number of soldiers, she shamelessly flirted with Guan Yu's soldiers, which made the soldiers who had never seen many women feel itchy in their hearts.

Guan Yu knew what brothels and gambling stalls were about, and at first he thought it was normal that there were several brothels. But when he walked all the way to the prefect's mansion, he saw that there were brothels, gambling stalls, and restaurants on both sides of the road. This was something wrong.

After entering the prefect's mansion, Cao Bi respectfully handed all Dongguan County's household registration and other information to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu couldn't understand this, so he handed it to Guo Tu who was next to him. After Guo Tu looked at it for a while, he realized something was wrong. The population of Dongguan County is not the largest among Xuzhou, but the taxes of Dongguan County have always been

Ranked among the top, and the business in Dongguan County is not very developed. Guo Tu is a little confused.

"General Cao, why is the tax revenue of Dongguan County so much higher than other places? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be?" Guo Tu asked.

When Cao Bi heard this, he was very happy. This was really his contribution.

"Reporting to your lord, this Dongguan County is not much different from other counties in Xuzhou in terms of land and population. It can have such a large amount of taxes mainly because of the contribution of side businesses." Cao Bi said.

"I see, it seems that General Cao is still a talent." Guo Tu just saw a lot of brothels, gambling stalls, and restaurants in Dongguan City, and he understood.

Cao Bi was a little carried away by Guo Tu's praise, and continued: "Sir, I am not bragging about myself. When I first came to Dongguan, the situation here was incomparable. All industries were depressed and it was simply too backward. For the sake of

Increasing taxes could not increase the burden on the people, so they took advantage of Dongguan County's geographical advantages and continued to develop side businesses. The entire Dongguan was built into the most distinctive place in Xuzhou. There was an endless stream of literati, poets, merchants and officials, and today's

It’s a grand occasion. To be honest with the two adults, the general also has several side businesses. If there are two adults who are interested, the general can arrange the best for them. It cannot be said that the country is beautiful and fragrant, but there is no one in Xuzhou.

Comparable, I guarantee that both adults will be satisfied."

What Cao Bi said is true or false. He has not increased taxes on the people, and he has increased them a lot. Otherwise, where did his wealth come from?

Guan Yu's red face turned gloomy. This guy actually regarded him as a lecherous person, and he even shamelessly described this messy thing as a side job.

Cao Bike didn't know that Guan Yu was already angry. The key was that Guan Yu's red face could not tell anything. He continued: "Of course, these side jobs will be contributed to the government every day, and these contributions will naturally be distributed by the adults and generals.

Over the course of a month, this contribution will be considerable."

Guo Tu understood. This guy was using this to make money. It seemed like this guy was very smart.

"Asshole, as a general you don't think about military matters, but you specialize in doing these casual things, what's the use of leaving them! Come here! Push them out and chop them!" Guan Yu was furious and slapped the table. This guy is...

Putting corruption and bribery on the table.

"General Guan, please spare your life." Cao Bi knelt on the ground and kowtowed. His flattery hit the horse's leg. Guan Yu was not good at this, and this would cause trouble.

Guan Yu's soldiers came in and were about to drag Cao Bi out. Cao Bi now knew that he was afraid and shouted: "Spare my life. I am willing to dedicate all my family property. I just ask the general to spare my life."

But Guan Yu's attitude was firm and unmoved.

"Slow down!" Guo Tu suddenly said something, which made Cao Bi feel hope for life.

Guo Tu whispered in Guan Yu's ear: "General Guan, this person may still be useful."

"What's the use of keeping this kind of waste?" Guan Yu didn't think that people like Cao Bi would be of use.

Guo Tu said with a smile: "General Guan may not know that people like Cao Bi are of no use in our hands. We are afraid of dirtying our hands if we kill them. But it is different when we get to Sili Colonel Li. I'm here.

I suggest the general send this person to Mr. Li, maybe he can be put to good use."

Guan Yu knew what Guo Tu was talking about. Li Gui was in charge of the "Anbu" of the intelligence organization. The core authority level knew everything. There were all kinds of people in the "Anbu", but one thing was that they were very loyal and would not betray Liu Yu.

, Guan Yu was very worried about Cao Bi's loyalty and said: "Master Li's side is very important. This man's loyalty..."

"General Guan, let Mr. Li decide whether he is loyal or not. After all, he is much better than us in this regard." Guo Tu didn't care. The "Anbu" had many methods, so he was not worried about this problem.

Guan Yu nodded, agreeing.

Cao Bi, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't know what Guo Tu and Guan Yu were talking about, and was very anxious.

Guan Yu said to Cao Bi: "Since the military advisor intercedes, I will spare your life!"

"Thank you, General Guan, and thank you, military advisor." Cao Bi breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't have to be beheaded.

"General Cao, I see that you are a talented person. I have given you a future and wealth. What do you think?" Guo Tu said seductively.

Cao Bi thought that he didn't want him to go back to Xuzhou to do fine work, right? This was not possible. If he went back, Liu Bei would be the first to kill him.

"Military advisor, the villain's master has offended Liu Zhoumu. This villain welcomes the king respectfully. He will definitely be punished when he returns to Xuzhou. When the time comes, the villain's life will be small. It will be bad if he misses the strategic plan of the military advisor and the general." Cao Biku

Said with a straight face.

Guan Yu was really blind, this guy was really greedy for life and afraid of death.

Guo Tu corrected him: "General Cao, you misunderstood. I am not asking you to go back to Xuzhou. I am asking you to go to Master Li, the captain of the Sili School in Luoyang."

"Seriously?" Cao Bi asked.

"Sure enough!" Guo Tu replied affirmatively.
