Chapter 080 The beginning of the hunt
Cao Peng had no intention of going back to process the official documents today. He wanted to go and see the little girl Mi Zhen.
Since she was brought from Xuzhou, Erguotou's business has been handed over to this girl to help manage it.
Cao Peng came to a tavern.
This tavern is called Zuixianju, and Erguotou, which is famous all over the world, was produced here.
His first pot of gold provided here for Cao Peng later became a money printing machine, which continuously enriched Cao Peng's pocket.
However, the rational Cao Peng did not always put this industry in his own hands, but instead took the initiative to find Cao Cao's cooperation.
He gave all the benefits brought by Erguotou to Cao Cao.
In this way, Boss Cao won the benefits, not only had a very good impression of Cao Peng, but also gave all the support he could to expand the Erguotou business.
Boss Cao is a greedy person who likes to make money.
After all, if such a large army needs to be maintained, money will not be enough at any time.
Boss Cao was either worried about food and money, or on the road to worry.
It has become the norm to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall on money and grain. He has no choice but to borrow the head of the grain official.
Just like in recent times, despite being slandered, he did not dare to kill some ministers and ministers.
Because these ministers and ministers have a close relationship with the major gentry.
The war with Yuan Shao was about to begin. At this time, Cao Cao did not want to offend these gentry members, otherwise food and grass would become a big problem.
As soon as Cao Peng entered the tavern, he saw a pretty Mi Zhen looking through the account book attentively.
Of course, she will take what Cao Peng has given her seriously, let alone Cao Peng's property.
Mi Zhen was suddenly hugged, and her warm and strong hands made her very familiar with her.
"Husband?!"
"Why are you here?"
Mi Zhen turned around and saw Cao Peng's face, and was very happy.
Cao Peng smiled faintly and gently scraped her nose with his hands.
"Of course I'm here to see you. I'll go back and rest so late. Why are you still here?"
Mi Zhen said in a gentle voice: "It's almost done. I'm going to go back after finishing my work."
Cao Peng hugged her affectionately and spoke for a while.
At this time, someone stumbled in. After a closer look, he found that this person was actually a shopkeeper of Zuixiangju.
Mi Zhen immediately jumped up from Cao Peng in shock, and immediately changed from a shy little wife to a capable temperament.
She asked, "What's wrong?"
The shopkeeper raised his head, looked at Mi Zhen, and also saw Cao Peng.
He hurriedly said, "General Cao, our caravan has been robbed!"
After saying this, Cao Peng frowned immediately.
Now Erguotou's business is spread all over the world, so there are caravans and horse gangs to help with transportation.
Even if the world is not peaceful, such a thing should not happen, because they are under the banner of Cao's army.
The caravans will not take those more biased paths, so there is no possibility of being robbed by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, so it can only be intentional by a warlord.
Cao Peng used Zuixiangju to do not only the Erguotou business, but also took the opportunity to arrange a network-like intelligence organization.
These things are all in hiding. Could it be that someone has noticed his intention?
The discovery was a little too fast, which was beyond his expectations.
He felt that a greater possibility was that there was a problem inside and someone reported to Yuan Shao and others!
Cao Peng originally wanted to take a break, but after something like this happened, he was eager to know the truth.
So, I returned to the mansion where I handled official duties.
Chen Qun was responsible for helping him analyze information and collected a lot of information.
He slowly pieced together some fragmented news, and the answer was about to come out.
To his surprise, Yuan Shao's army did this.
"General, I think someone must be staring at our every move in the dark, so he realized what we used to train our meticulous works." Chen Qun said.
Cao Peng nodded, "Long article, your analysis makes sense. I think so too, but many things are still unclear now, so don't guess it."
In such an atmosphere, Xu Tian’s hunting has been postponed for another seven days.
Cao Cao finally ordered Xutian hunting.
This time Cao Peng did not stop him because Cao Peng knew better than anyone else that Cao Cao’s real purpose of hunting Xutian.
Before going to war with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao needed to test how many people were loyal to him.
If he becomes king, will he play a role in winning people's hearts?
Even if it increases the odds of winning, it is very important for him now.
On this day, Cao Cao rode his BMW "Clawed Huang Fei Electric Horse" and gathered soldiers from various battalions. The movement shocked the entire Xu Ducheng.
Cao Pengli faced the battle outside and looked at the huge momentum, but his face was a little serious.
Cao Peng said to Dian Wei beside him: "I can't go there if Xu Tian hunts over there. You must protect Sikong!"
Dian Wei nodded without asking much questions. Cao Peng had to deliberately avoid participating in Xu Tian hunting this time, so there must be his reason.
After Dian Wei led his troops to meet with Cao Cao, Cao Cao looked around and found that Cao Peng was not there, so he asked:
"Why didn't Anmin come?"
Dian Wei replied: "Report to the lord, the general said he would go and supervise the training progress of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."
Cao Cao nodded without asking any more questions. He had visited this tiger and leopard cavalry once and had a bit of the momentum of a tiger and wolf army.
Now it is the critical time for this cavalry training, and Cao Cao is also looking forward to the war with Yuan Shao, when this powerful cavalry can wipe out the world for him.
The army left the city in a mighty manner, and there were 100,000 people!
This time, a large-scale hunting was carried out in Xutian, and the army lined up the yard and surrounded it for more than 200 miles.
Cao Cao and Liu Xie walked together, and Cao Cao's horse faintly overwhelmed Liu Xie's horse.
Those who followed Cao Cao were his confidant generals Dian Wei, Cao Ren and others, and all the civil and military officials followed far away.
Dong Cheng looked at the sun in the sky. He guessed that at this time, Zhong Ji should have joined Cao Pi!
People with big goals like him naturally cannot move in the city, so they can only leave it to Zhong Ji to do it.
After all, no one would notice that such a small person did not participate in the hunting.
Zhong Ji was now in front of Cao Pi, and he felt a little funny. This young man was indeed a bit timid.
