Cao Bianjiao shrank in fear when he saw his uncle getting angry.
Although he was usually fierce on the battlefield, he was still quite afraid of his uncle.
The curtain outside the big tent suddenly opened, and one of Cao Wenzhao's soldiers walked in from the outside.
"General, Governor Fu has sent an envoy."
Upon hearing this, Cao Wenzhao hurriedly stood up from his seat and said, "Quick, take me to greet Governor Fu's envoy."
With that said, he took the initiative to walk outside the tent.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Cao Bianjiao, who was still sitting on his seat without moving, "Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you come with me to greet Governor Fu's envoy? "
"Uncle, why don't you just go by yourself?" Cao Bianjiao stood up reluctantly and followed Cao Wenzhao out of the tent.
When the two men arrived, the messenger was already waiting outside the camp.
"I wonder who is the envoy sent by the Governor?" Cao Wenzhao looked at the group of soldiers and horses outside the camp, and his eyes fell on the leader.
The others were all dressed as warriors, but this man was wearing a long gown worn by scholars.
"General Cao is polite."
The scholar said hello to Cao Wenzhao, and at the same time handed the reins to the people beside him.
Cao Wenzhao didn't recognize the scholar in front of him, so he asked curiously: "I wonder who Mr. Sir is next to the governor?"
"Haha, let me introduce myself first. I am the counselor next to the Governor. Although this is the first time we have met, I have long heard of General Cao's reputation for being brave and good at fighting." The scholar introduced himself with a smile, while not forgetting to praise. Cao Wenzhao.
"Sir, thank you. Come on, let's go back to the camp first." Cao Wenzhao raised his hand to invite the other party to enter the camp. At the same time, he did not really believe him just because the other party said that he was Fu Zonglong's counselor.
Whether the other party dares to enter the camp is the first step of testing.
"Okay, let's go to the camp first." The scholar didn't see the slightest resistance and simply followed Cao Wenzhao into the camp.
The group soon arrived at Cao Wenzhao's tent.
The group of soldiers and horses brought by the scholar were all taken to other places for entertainment.
"I don't know, Mr. I came here unexpectedly, but what can I tell you from the Superintendent?" After entering the camp, Cao Wenzhao directly asked the other party's purpose of coming.
Regardless of whether the other party's counselor is real or fake, there must be a purpose for coming.
Before the scholar could sit down, he was questioned by Cao Wenzhao. He had to take out a secret letter and handed it to Cao Wenzhao. At the same time, he said: "This is the secret letter that the supervisor asked me to hand over to General Cao."
Cao Wenzhao reached out and took it.
There was no seal on the secret letter, so he stretched out two fingers and took out a piece of paper.
After opening it, I took a look at the contents inside, and then focused on the seal below.
After a long time, he frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to obey the commander's orders. It's just that I haven't seen the commander before. Based on this letter, the commander doesn't dare to send troops to other places privately. "
Cao Bianjiao on the side was curious about what was written in the letter that would make his uncle say such things.
However, he still adhered to his duty, even though his heart was the same as that of Cat Claw, he did not take the initiative to touch the letter in Cao Wenzhao's hand, but waited patiently aside.
"Haha, Ambassador Sun has indeed guessed it." The scholar smiled while holding his beard, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, General Cao. There are also things that Ambassador Sun asked me to bring."
As he spoke, he took out another letter.
Cao Wenzhao handed the last letter to Cao Bianjiao and reached out to take the new letter.
After reading the above content, I carefully observed the private seal above.
It was confirmed that the letter was written by Sun Chuanting himself.
A smile appeared on Cao Wenzhao's face, and he affectionately pulled the counselor in front of him to sit down. He said apologetically: "Counsellor Xue, please sit down quickly. It is the last general who has neglected the counselor."
In the letter to Sun Chuanting, he also learned that the Counselor Xue in front of him was brought by Fu Zonglong from Shuntian and was an absolute confidant of Fu Zonglong.
"I can understand General Cao's worries. Now that Ambassador Sun has given instructions, can General Cao send troops?" Counselor Xue looked at Cao Wenzhao in front of him with a smile.
But he knew in his heart that his boss still had a long way to go if he wanted to recruit this tiger general.
"No hurry, no hurry, Counselor Xue must have worked hard for coming all the way." Cao Wenzhao looked back and said to his nephew, "Jiao'er, go arrange a banquet. I am going to entertain Counselor Xue."
At this time, Cao Bianjiao also read the contents of the previous letter, and saw that he said excitedly: "I will make arrangements right now."
In front of outsiders, Cao Bianjiao always claimed to be the last general.
"There's no need to go to such trouble, General Cao doesn't have to prepare." Counselor Xue stopped Cao Bianjiao who was about to leave, and turned to Cao Wenzhao and said, "Soldiers need to be quick. If you delay for one more day, you may be attacked by tigers." If the thief finds Duan Ying, it is better to ask General Cao to send troops earlier, so as not to delay important matters."
After hearing these words, Cao Wenzhao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "The Pioneer Camp will be handed over to Counselor Xue."
"General Cao, go ahead and do your own thing. When General Cao returns, he will return it to Zhao intact." Counselor Xue gave Cao Wenzhao a guarantee.
Cao Wenzhao nodded, then turned to Cao Bianjiao and said, "Jiao'er, gather all the soldiers and servants immediately and bring three days of dry food. Hurry."
"Yes." Cao Bianjiao turned around and strode away.
After Cao Bianjiao left, Cao Wenzhao did not leave in a hurry, but accompanied Counselor Xue to talk in the big tent.
Facing Counselor Xue who was interested in winning over their uncle and nephew, the two of them had a very happy conversation.
But there is no actual content.
Cao Wenzhao did not immediately seek refuge with Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shandong, because of the other party's solicitation.
"Uncle, everything is ready."
About half an hour later, Cao Bianjiao came back from outside.
The army is always on the march, so dry food is basically ready-made, and even if it is not enough, it can be collected from the local area. In short, these soldiers and servants will not go hungry.
Cao Wenzhao stood up from his seat, faced Counselor Xue and said, "I'll leave this to Counselor Xue."
"General Cao, just go about your business. With your subordinates here, nothing will happen." Counselor Xue assured Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao nodded, took Cao Bianjiao beside him and strode away.
As for whether the remaining soldiers would be lured away by Counselor Xue, he was not worried.
As long as he holds his own soldiers and servants in his hands, no one dares to ignore them Cao's uncles and nephews. As for the remaining soldiers, they are ordinary soldiers. It doesn't matter if they are gone. They can recruit a new group at any time.
Soon, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew left the camp with more than two hundred and nearly three hundred cavalry.
