Cao Cao was busy taking advantage of the conflicts between Qing, You and Bingzhou to let them consume each other, just like a united state and a united state.

It is a very clever strategy to kiss one faction, fight another, and pull each other.

Cao Peng, at this time, took two daughters from the Zhen family.

Then the Zhen family was rebuilt.

With Cao Peng's help, it is easy to rebuild the Zhen family.

Although it has experienced dilapidation, with the help of Cao Peng, the Zhen family is rising rapidly.

Cao Peng, who did not care about military affairs, focused his focus on doing business.

Among them, Erguotou's business entered Jizhou, and he used the Zhen family's business network to make a fortune.

Zhen Mi and Zhen Jiang are both smart women. Under Cao Peng's guidance, they have learned many ways to do business.

With the rise of the Zhen family, these two women have also become Cao Peng's money cows, and Cao Peng's personal wealth is increasing rapidly.

Just when Cao Peng made a fortune, Yuan Tan and Liu Bei entered Liaodong.

This time, although it was a complete failure.

However, Yuan Tan still had the determination to fight back.

At Liu Bei's suggestion, he decided to go to Liaodong to ask for Gongsun Du's support.

At the same time, he will unite with the Wuhuan people. His father had given the Wuhuan people great favors before.

He knew the virtues of these people, and as long as they gave them great benefits, they would definitely send troops to help them.

Yuan Tan and Liu Bei wanted to use the Wuhuan people to help them and fight them back again.

Yuan Tan pointed to the deep valley in the distance and said, "Xuande, Gongsun Du's station is ahead. I hope he can help us this time."

"Young Master is a dragon and phoenix among people. This worship is just a temporary crisis." Liu Bei said comfortingly.

Thinking of Yuan Tan, he glanced at the team behind him.

There were only dozens of people following.

How full of energy was back then, how sad it is now.

Seeing Liu Bei and Yuan Tan talking quietly, Zhang Fei, who was following behind, shook his head.

He increasingly doubted what the meaning of following Liu Bei was.

Because he was in a bad mood, he could only drink to vent his dissatisfaction.

It was about to get dark, but fortunately they finally entered Gongsun Du's city.

Gongsun Du gave Yuan Tan enough face and personally held a banquet to entertain him.

Not only are there delicious wine and food, but there are also countless beautiful women holding pipa.

During the banquet, Liu Bei and Yuan Tan were very excited.

Even Zhang Fei was almost infected by this atmosphere.

no way.

I didn't expect that Gongsun Du was such a romantic person.

During the banquet he arranged, a beautiful and fair-skinned woman was fascinating.

Liu Bei temporarily forgot the pain of losing Guan Yu and the trouble of his own failure.

Anyway, he should be romantic first.

Gongsun Du looked at Liu Bei's drunkenness and felt a little disgusted.

He had already heard that Liu Bei had become a notorious man.

But he came with Yuan Tan, and he pretended not to know about his infamous dark history.

It was just a rush to play, but suddenly a captain came to Gongsun Du's ear and whispered something.

Gongsun Du stood up and bowed.

"Some military affairs need to be handled. I will lose my companion for a while. Please enjoy it for both of you!"

"Please give me a gift, General."

After Gongsun Du left the banquet hall, he followed the captain to a hidden tent.

It turned out that someone from Cao Cao came over.

When Gongsun Du saw the person he saw that his temperament was extraordinary.

I heard that Cao Cao's nephew Cao Peng had an army of Jinyiwei under his command.

He is very strong, maybe this person comes from there.

"Is there anything wrong with you here?"

Gongsun Du was very friendly and asked the Jinyiwei.

Unexpectedly, the other party took out a handwritten book and handed it to Gongsun Du.

Curious, Gongsun Du immediately opened the handbook, looked carefully at the contents, and his brows slowly frowned.

"Mr. Cao's meaning is that I want me to tie Yuan Tan and send him over?"

"Please convey on my behalf that Mr. Yuan Tan is friends with me. His father Yuan Shao has been kind to me, so I am not inconvenient to do this."

It is actually good that Gongsun Du can keep such polite words. After reading this handwritten book just now, Cao Cao's words were quite arrogant.

In his opinion, Cao Mengde had already called him around like his subordinate.

Why?

It is obvious that he has not yet gained a foothold in the four continents, so he dared to make his own idea of ​​Liaodong.

After hearing this, he asked someone to take out a draft imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Gongsun Du.

After Gongsun Du was curious to achieve this imperial edict.

When he opened it, he was shocked.

"this……"

The above content turned out to be Cao Cao reported to the emperor, wanting to entrust him to the title of Liaodong Magistrate.

Gongsun Du always proclaimed himself the Marquis of Liaodong, but it was not recognized by the court.

Now this imperial edict was personally sent by the court, so this is why he was surprised.

Gongsun Du was not in a hurry to be happy.

Because he knew that Cao Cao had no friendship with him, why did he do such a thing for him?

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

He immediately doubted what Cao Cao meant?

The Jinyiwei said: "The Prime Minister said that as long as the Marquis of Liaodong arrested Yuan Tan, it would be a great contribution to the court, otherwise it would be a cover for the rebels!"

Gongsun Du looked embarrassed, "Can I let me think for a moment?"

The Jinyiwei said: "I'm waiting for a visit to Liaodong."

After thinking about it, he felt that it was only a matter of time before Cao Cao annexed all of Yuan Shao's territory.

It is indeed impossible to compete at this time.

If you take Yuan Tan in by yourself, it will indeed become a hot thing.

It would be better to hand over Yuan Tan and please Cao Cao at that time.

Cao Cao had no reason to send troops to attack him.

"Okay, please go back and tell the Prime Minister, I will find an opportunity to take Yuan Tan and then send someone to Jizhou."

...

When Gongsun Du returned to the banquet hall again, Liu Bei was the first to discover that his expression was different from what he had just now.

Liu Bei poked Yuan Tan with his hand and signaled him to see Gongsun Du's face.

Yuan Tan was also puzzled, so he picked up a glass of wine.

"Marquis of Liaodong, I respect you!"

"please……"

Seeing that Gongsun Du was absent-minded even if he drank, Yuan Tan asked:

"Why is the Marquis of Liaodong, why are you upset? But what happened?"

Hearing Yuan Tan’s question, Gongsun Du felt that he might not be able to hide it anymore.

It’s better to do it without stopping.

Anyway, even if he doesn't do it, Cao Cao will not let Yuan Tan go.

Gongsun Du's eyes turned cold and he glanced at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan suddenly felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what happened.

Gongsun Du shouted sternly: "Come here, take down Yuan Tan and Liu Bei!"
