Chapter 507 (1/2)

”Because of Cao Cao's success in persuading thieves, the general was lenient. This time, general Cao just picked up a bargain.” Jia Xu said with a smile.

If Liu Ye had not led his army to destroy Zhang Xun's army, Yuan Shu would not have escaped from Shouchun voluntarily. The 60000 army of Zhang Xun was the main force of Yuan's army, so Yuan Shu was forced to flee, and Cao Cao took advantage of it.

”Hehe, that's all I've said. Mr. Zhongde, please come back.” After Jia Xu finished, he stood up and went out.

”Mr. Wenhe, where is the general? I want to see the general. ”

Cheng Yu stops his face.

Jia said in a business way: ”the senior general assists his Majesty's prime minister in the military and political affairs of the whole country. Now he is very busy. Mr. Zhongde should not bother the general. He can go back and bring the news to general Cao.”

”How can we reward general Cao for his meritorious work in fighting against the rebellion?” Cheng Yu slightly angry way.

Jia Xu showed a slight smile and strode out directly. Before he left, his friendship reminded him: ”Mr. Zhongde, the general is really busy. I suggest you don't bother to please.”

As a special envoy of Cao Cao, Cheng Yu is naturally not satisfied with only getting a salary increase of 500 stones. Therefore, he does not go back these days, but wants to see Liu Ye and debate Cao Cao's merits.

With my brilliant tongue, as long as I see the general, I can certainly persuade him!

Cheng Yu tidies up his clothes and is full of confidence. Unfortunately, Liu Ye has not given him the opportunity. He just closed the door to thank the guests. Cheng Yu spent three days in the city of Runan, but he didn't even see Liu Ye. He had to take a carriage and go back to Huainan.

”Yu is ashamed!”

Cheng Yu bowed his head and said, ”Liu Yuqing's contribution to the expedition against Yuan Shu was counterbalanced by the fact that Liu Yuqing left the country without authorization. He only increased his salary by 500 stones in a symbolic sense.”

With a smile, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, ”it doesn't matter. You know Yu Qing very well. This guy will never suffer a loss. Now our army can easily get the land of Huainan. The harvest is not small. We need to consolidate and digest it.”

”Lord!”

Outside the door, there was a sound of footwork, and the actor rushed into the meeting hall from the outside, looking grim.

Seeing the actor's face, Cao Cao doubted, ”what's wrong with Zhi Cai? What's the news?” Among Cao's troops, Xunzi was in charge of government affairs and was in charge of the center. Cheng Yu was good at stratagem, while the playwright was the most intimate person of Cao Cao, in charge of the information exchange among Cao's troops.

”My Lord, I'm afraid that our army will fall into a quagmire in Huainan this time.” The actor's tone was heavy.

”What's going on?” Cao Cao said strangely: ”is it difficult for Liu Yuqing not to be willing to get Shouchun and prepare to send troops to pacify the southeast?” If this is the case, then it is really a great news. The bravery of Xiliang army and the reputation of Liu Ye are really the best in the world.

”No, sun CE and the LORD sent troops to attack Yuan Shu at the same time, while sun CE's emissary and Zhong De came to Liu Ye's army at the same time. Does the Lord know why Sun CE was granted the official post?”

”Is it?” Cao Cao seems to have noticed.

”Governor of Yangzhou!” ”Sun CE's army will surely go north and fight our army fiercely.”

”It's a clever way. There are really talented people around this general.” Cao Cao was both surprised and regretful.

”Since Sun CE is the governor of Yangzhou, Shouchun belongs to Jiujiang County, and Jiujiang county belongs to Yangzhou. Besides, sun CE is ambitious. Even if there is no governor of Yangzhou, sooner or later he will go north to fight with our army.” Cheng Yu analyzed.
