Cao Cao had already made up his mind, and only then would a liar go to such extreme lengths to prove that what he said was true.
Guo Ming had no such intention, which means that he was not the one who lied.
Since the person who lied is not him, and the same thing is said completely differently, it can only mean that the person who lied is Ma Teng.
"My Lord Guard, you gave me such a move as soon as you came up. What do you want me to do?"
Cao Cao stood up, walked around his tree bank, and looked at the clear sky outside.
He seemed to have an idea.
On the same day, Ma Teng received a letter saying that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty felt that the palace confinement was unstable and hoped that Ma Teng could stay in Xudu for three months.
However, Xiliang's military affairs could not be delayed, so he asked his son Ma Chao to temporarily take over the post of general of Xiliang. After giving him a banquet for three days, he returned to Xiliang.
However, after Cao Cao issued this edict, he called Cao Ren over.
He said something in Cao Ren's ear. Cao Ren's eyes moved and he nodded in agreement.
A man in black left Xudu that night carrying special medicine and headed for Xiliang.
Mrs. Ma Teng disappeared overnight a few days later, and was found in her bed by Han Sui.
The lady was completely naked and dead.
Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others surrounded Han Sui's house and cursed and beat him. Han Sui closed the door and did not dare to go out. He only waited for Ma Chao to come back.
However, Ma Chao doesn't know these yet, and neither does Ma Teng.
Xiliang is unstable, and Cao Cao is more stable.
Ma Teng himself didn't care about the past of several young people, so it was easier for him to cause trouble.
Cao Cao just looked at Cao Ren's reward and was secretly happy.
Guo Ming told him that the others could be postponed, but there was only one person who needed to be dealt with quickly.
That is Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu unexpectedly appeared in the woods on the outskirts of the city, completely beyond Guo Ming's expectation, and even more unexpectedly by Cao Cao.
It was simply unbelievable that he could kill so close to him without making a move.
If the person who came to report the crime was not Guo Ming, Cao Cao really thought that Tong Fei was colluding.
But now, it can be completely ruled out.
Zhang Xiu has been doing quite poorly recently.
The attack on Ruyang and other places suffered repeated setbacks. There were barren mountains and wastelands everywhere, and no one could even be seen.
Yuan Shu didn't care about the locust plague at all, but only caused people's resentment to boil, and there was no one for thousands of miles.
Zhang Xiu couldn't raise food and grass locally, and couldn't find soldiers, so he had to return to Wancheng.
Sitting in the city of sleep, he sent letters to Liu Biao several times asking for military rations.
However, Liu Biao persuaded him to abandon Wancheng and move to Xinye and other places.
It can also be a little closer.
How could Zhang Xiu abandon his own territory so easily and go to someone else's territory?
Jia Xu didn't agree with him either.
But Jia Xu had no choice for a while.
After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and even a first-rate counselor can’t do anything to deal with it.
This severe drought has already occurred, and even Wancheng has been affected.
Zhang Xiu was at a loss for a while.
These are only known to Cao Cao.
It seemed that Zhang Xiu had some moves that he didn't know about.
"Zhang Xiu? Okay, then I will meet you again."
This is the third time Cao Cao wants to attack Zhang Xiu. This time it is not a big move, because Zhang Xiu is basically worried about foreign troubles.
But there is something different about this expedition, that is, there are three more young generals under Cao Xiu's account in the military camp, one is Cao Pi, the other is Cao Zhang, and the other is Cao Zhi.
It was the first time for these three people to go on an expedition.
Cao Cao was extra cautious and incorporated these three people into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and also gave them to Cao Xiu to take care of.
As for himself, he took Xu Chu and Dian Wei forward and handed over the entire Xu capital to Xun Yu and Xiahou Dun.
As usual, Guo Jia followed him to make suggestions.
Guo Ming personally led the troops in the rear and was responsible for transporting grain and grass.
"It's the job of the grain inspector again. Let's go. There's nothing to fight on this way anyway."
Guo Ming sighed.
Bai Qi is responsible for the overall deployment, and Xiang Yu and Gai Nie are responsible for pressing forward and backward.
Guo Ming is only responsible for one thing, and that is to be in the rear camp of the Chinese army with Tong Fei, ready to provide food and grass at any time.
At this moment, Cao Cao's troops and horses are completely different from Cao Cao's troops and horses at that time.
What's more, in this expedition, Cao Cao was not facing Liu Biao, but Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu was still hungry.
After Cao Cao's soldiers arrived here, Xu Chu, as the vanguard, directly attacked the two counties.
Guo Ming and the others successfully drove into the county seat, and then drove directly to Wancheng.
Seeing this again, Guo Ming was filled with emotions, and so was Tong Fei.
"Brother, do you think my senior brother can avoid it this time?"
"sure."
Guo Ming nodded without thinking.
"Are you so sure?" Tong Fei was surprised.
"I'm not sure about him, I'm sure about Jia Xu, the military advisor beside him. He has always been full of ideas in his life."
"Mr. Wenhe, yes, that's right. He will definitely be able to find a way to let senior brother get through this situation safely."
"If it doesn't work, just go over there first and then come back. Isn't that the end of it?"
"That won't work!"
Although Tong Fei is a child at heart, after this period of time, he still knows what it means to have face.
He is now Guo Ming's, and it is impossible for him to vote for anyone else.
After all, some things can only be done again and again, not three times. Even if Guo Ming allows him to jump around, Cao Cao does not allow him.
"Master Marquis, the Prime Minister invites you."
A soldier came over to deliver the order.
"Prime Minister wants to see me?"
"yes."
"Take it away."
Guo Ming thought of many reasons why Cao Cao wanted to see him. He never expected that before he entered the camp, he saw an injured man first.
The man was naked from the waist up, with a white cloth wrapped around his shoulders.
Although it has been bandaged, there is still a trace of blood oozing from inside.
It’s actually Xu Chu!
"Huhou, what's wrong with you?" Guo Ming went up and asked.
"Oh, don't mention it. You go to see the Prime Minister first, and we'll talk about it after we come out."
"Fengde, come in!" Cao Cao walked to the door of the camp and greeted Guo Ming.
Xu Chu was injured while fighting Wancheng.
Knowing that Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack, Zhang Xiu naturally went into battle himself.
Guo Ming knew what he was capable of.
But I didn't expect that the one who defeated Xu Chu was actually a young general in silver armor, holding a silver gun and riding a white horse.
"Zhao Yun?"
"Yes, Zhang Xiu was supposed to go into battle, and Xu Chu went to meet him, but the young general over there came up. Cao Zhang stepped forward and hit him without knowing the importance. Xu Chu was shot by the young general in order to protect Cao Zhang."
No wonder.
Xu Chu's fight against Zhang Xiu was originally between four and six, and the fight was a showdown.
Zhao Yun came to help Zhang Xiu, but Cao Zhang would never be able to withstand him if he didn't go to the top.
Unless Dian Wei or Zhang Liao comes forward, no one in Cao's camp can withstand it.
After all, Zhao Yun's original martial arts can now be said to be the best in the world, and his archery skills are superb.
