Chapter 402 Cao A's Concealed, You Must Make the Decision for the Xu Family
Chapter 402: Cao Ah Man, you must make the decision for the Xu family in this matter
Yecheng, Yamen.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
The cheerful laughter spread throughout the government office, and Cao Cao's devilish laughter spread one after another.
To be honest, he is really happy...
I just rushed back to Yecheng last night and heard the news of Youzhou's surrender early this morning.
Just as Brother Yi expected, Yuan's second brother, Yuan Xi, and Yuan's third brother, Yuan Shang.
In Youzhou, the two of them were thinking about being a monk and hitting the clock, but the generals under him, under Yi Xiaotian's series of plans and Cao Cao's series of operations, were very eager to live a good life.
This is not…
On a dark and windy murderous night, the generals of Youzhou, Jiao Chuo and Zhang Nan, rebelled, and together with them, the officials of the entire Youzhou became blood allies and worked together to serve Cao Cao.
Youzhou was captured without bloodshed.
At this moment, the situation in the entire north was completely stabilized. Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, together with Jizhou that was already in his hands, Cao Cao realized his dream of controlling the four states.
The only fly in the ointment is that the good brothers of the Yuan family escaped and fled to the Wuhuan tribe with their trusted troops...
"well…"
Every time he thought about this, Cao Cao always felt a little regretful.
Cao Cao is not a generous person. His heart is neither black nor white, and there is no gray area. Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are now his sworn enemies.
Even if they fled to the ends of the world, Cao Cao would not let them go.
Now... Cao Cao has begun to think about how to further eliminate them. He is even thinking about whether Wuhuan in the north and Gongsun Kang in Liaodong can also be beaten to the point of kneeling and singing "conquer"?
Of course... when it comes to formulating the general strategy, Cao Cao still plans to make detailed plans with Brother Yi.
Besides...the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are not alone in the North.
Neither Wuhuan, a foreigner in the north, nor Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, can save fuel. Going deep alone and traveling long distances to conquer them is taking risks.
Also... Cao Cao was too unfamiliar with Wuhuan and the terrain of Liaodong. If he marched rashly, the probability of failure was very high!
It seemed that neither the right time, place nor people were on Cao Cao's side.
With this in mind, Cao Cao thought about riding directly to Youjian Villa to have a good bargain with Brother Yi...
By the way, I wanted to know what he wanted to do after spending a lot of money to buy the barren mountain called Broken Finger Mountain.
Could it be that there is a deviation in vision?
hehe…
Once this question was raised, Cao Cao himself laughed.
After all, it was Zhuyu who came first. Brother Yi's vision and insight have never failed before, and this time it will definitely not be unexpected.
"Cao Gong."
But at this moment, Jia Xu slowly walked into the government office hall. When he saw Cao Cao, he first saluted and then cupped his hands.
"Just now Xun Lingjun sent an urgent document. I've read it. It's because something happened in Xiapi City."
Jia Xu's face became solemn. "The mountains where the iron was mined in Xiapi City were flooded by flash floods. In a short period of time, the iron was no longer mined! Naturally, it was also impossible to transport the iron to Youjian Villa for forging and refining refined steel.
"
Speaking of this, Jia Xu frowned slightly.
"In the past few years, we have fought against the Yuan family. The steel spears and steel halberds of Youjian Villa have made a lot of contributions, but... we have also suffered a lot of losses on the weapons. Now, there is a lot of iron and steel mining in Pi City.
If we are blocked, I am afraid that Youjian Villa will not be able to deliver new steel guns and steel halberds on time, which will be very detrimental to our next strategic deployment."
Hearing this…
Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened.
Others don't know it, but he knows it best. In the battle of Guandu, his 70,000 men dared to harden Yuan Shao's 700,000 men. In addition to the bravery of the soldiers, they relied on the hundreds of refined steel forged at Youjian Villa.
The perfect halberd and spear...
For several years, these steel spears and steel halberds accompanied Cao Cao almost throughout his journey to the northern border. With their help, he was invincible and invincible.
Suddenly, there was a problem with the supply of iron and iron, which was really a big trouble!
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Cao Jun, who is used to using this magic weapon, suddenly brought up an ordinary weapon. Whether he is used to it or not, the combat effectiveness will probably drop several steps.
?
call…
Cao Cao exhaled helplessly, waved his hand, and turned to look at Xu Chu. "There is no other way, just use as many as you can... By the way, I heard that Zixiao even gave Brother Yi some of the steel spears and halberds.
I'm afraid a blacksmith shop won't be able to hand over this batch of arms in a short period of time. Marquis of Guannei, go and tell Xia Zixiao and ask him not to rush Brother Yi. For the supply of weapons, find a way from other places first.
"
An act of desperation…
Although there are no magic weapons, this battle will still be fought, but the losses will probably be more than double what they were before.
Every time he thought about this, Cao Cao felt a little sad.
Unexpectedly, a trivial supply of iron and steel can have such a profound impact on the battle situation.
"Well..." Xu Chu beside him nodded, silently noted it down, and planned to walk out of the office to find General Cao Ren.
…
At this moment.
"How can this not make sense? How can it not make sense..."
At the gate of the government office, shouts and roars came out one after another...one louder than the other, and each one louder than the other... "Are there any etiquette? Are there any rules?"
It turned out that Xu You and Xu Yuan broke into Cao Cao's government office angrily.
When Xu You heard that Cao Cao had returned, he was filled with anger and rushed over early in the morning filled with righteous indignation.
Since his great achievements in the Battle of Guandu, in the whole city of Ye, in the whole north... no one would let Xu You, and no one would be afraid of the Xu family.
The Xu family had always only allowed him to bully others and treat others as fools, but this time, he was simply... treated as a fool and played with by applause.
It's tolerable, but it's intolerable.
Immediately, Xu You came to seek justice from Cao Cao.
After all, although he didn't have much ability, he was a hero. If it weren't for him, Xu You, who brought Cao Ying's Wuchao garrison the pass code? Could Cao Cao have defeated Guandu? Could Cao Cao have entered Yecheng?
I was bullied, humiliated... There was no need to look for others, it was useless to look for others, I simply came to Cao Cao directly...
Well…
Cao Cao was a little confused, what happened to Xu You? He was so angry early in the morning?
Speaking of which, because of Xu You's great meritorious service, Cao Cao turned a blind eye to his misdeeds and even his unreasonable behavior, even though he was displeased with it. But... the Xu family's uncle and nephew who were always used to bullying others?
Being bullied by others? And you come here to ask Cao Cao to make the decision? How new is this!
"Brother Xu, sit down and speak slowly...what happened?" Cao Cao asked politely.
"snort…"
Unexpectedly, Xu You immediately changed his face. He snorted coldly, and then shouted loudly. "Cao Amo, you must make the decision for me in this matter!"
"Deceit, my Xu family was deceived by that little bastard named Yi from Youjian Villa. This is clearly deceit and deceit! Yi Xiaotian has taken advantage of him by force and has no justice or humanity. He has already bullied me, Xu You.
On the head."
Xu You was not polite and sat directly on a bamboo chair, patting the papers and shouting angrily.
call out…
Cao Cao was confused when he heard Xu You's words.
However, he still extracted some key information? It was Brother Yi who bullied Xu You? Hey... In my impression, didn't Brother Yi just spend 30,000 gold to take over a piece of the Xu family's barren mountains that could no longer be barren? Because of this.
Son, Brother Yi is almost becoming the laughing stock of Yecheng.
Who is bullying whom? Why is Cao Cao so stupid that he can't tell the difference?
"Mr. Xu, please speak slowly. You have to tell me the whole story in detail, right?" Cao Cao frowned, but his tone was gentle. "Don't raise your voice when you are justified!"
"Cao Ah Man, I don't care, you have to make the decision for our Xu family!"
Xu You emphasized again and then began to describe his grievances in detail.
"I, Xu You, was robbed by Yi Xiaotian. Yes, it was robbed by force... That Broken Finger Mountain belongs to our Xu family and is worth millions of gold, but... But that Yi Xiaotian, he simply took it away.
I, Xu You, treated our Xu family as idiots and fools, and took away a mere 30,000 gold. This was not only an insult to our Xu family, but also an insult to you, Cao Ah Man’s benefactor! Yi Xiaotian didn’t take me
If Xu You takes it seriously, it means that you, Cao Ah Man, are not taken seriously. This is openly humiliating me, but actually it is humiliating you... Cao Ah Man, what do you think you should do about this!"
I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to it or what.
Cao Cao’s nickname was mentioned everywhere in Xu You’s words - "Cao Ah Ma"...
At this moment, not only Cao Cao showed displeasure, but Xu Chu and Jia Xu also frowned. How could Cao Sikong's nickname come out of his mouth like this?
Xu Chu was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked as calmly as possible with a wisp of beard.
"Mr. Xu, I remember isn't Broken Finger Mountain a barren mountain? Thirty thousand gold is already a lot, so how can you say it's worth a million gold? How can you say that the owner of Youjian Villa is deceiving you?"
As soon as these words came out...Xu You was furious.
He suddenly got up and even broke the tea cup on the document.
The whole person looked furious... "Thirty thousand gold? Humph, three hundred thousand gold, they are all cheap. Cao A'hao, Cao A'hao, I'm afraid you don't know, the iron iron dug out from Broken Finger Mountain is still the best
The good iron is even better than the one in Xiapi City... I have checked it out and it is absolutely true, Yi Xiaotian is secretly laughing and taunting me!"
Huo... Bintie?
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and Jia Xu all frowned?
What? Did Brother Yi dig up iron from that stupid Broken Finger Mountain?
It's still the best, even better than Xiapi City. Doesn't this mean that... he has solved Cao's army's urgent need to supply weapons?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and Jia Xu's eyes widened as big as copper bells.
"Mr. Xu..." Cao Cao tried hard to calm down the throbbing in his heart, and he quickly asked. "You said that good iron and steel were dug out from Broken Finger Mountain? Is this true?"
