Chapter 096: Liu Bei's Request to Fight
Since Cao Peng agreed to accept them, he would naturally help with what they asked for.
In fact, he could have swallowed the two women without giving anything.
But, he is not such a person.
The only compassion in my heart still exists.
Cao Cao didn't care about his lenient handling of some matters about the Dong family and the Fu family.
Because, news just came from the front line, Cao Cao's nerves were tense.
Yuan Shao had defeated Gongsun Zan, annexed the other party's territory, and incorporated the other party's army and horses. He had already consolidated his troops and pointed the sword straight at Cao Cao.
A signal of a war has been heard.
Cao Peng received detailed information from Man Chong's Jinyiwei and immediately fell into a busy state.
That day, he came to Cao Cao with the sorted information, but met Liu Bei in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It turns out that this guy, Big Eared, is quite conscientious.
After hearing about Gongsun Zan's defeat, he thought that he had received a lot of favors from him before, so he came to Cao Cao to inquire about some information.
After Cao Peng arrived, he nodded to Liu Bei and reported to Cao Cao: "The Jinyiwei has obtained important military information!"
After hearing this, Liu Bei planned to say goodbye and leave, but Cao Cao stopped him.
"But it's okay to say that Xuande is not an outsider either."
Cao Peng glanced at the corner of his mouth and thought to himself that this old Cao seemed to have been fooled by Liu Bei's god-level acting skills again.
However, this time, there were all kinds of changes in the robbery. Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and Ma Teng were all dead.
It actually prevented Liu Bei from being involved in this incident.
Since Cao Cao didn't mind, there was nothing to say.
"The news came from the Jinyiwei that Yuan Shu was too arrogant and dissatisfied with the military and civilians in Huainan, which aroused public anger and could no longer gain a foothold. He sent someone to secretly contact Yuan Shao, wanting to send the jade seal out, only asking Yuan Shao to save him.
That guy Yuan Shao was greedy for the jade seal and actually agreed to Yuan Shu's surrender."
After hearing the news, Cao Cao frowned.
He is a military expert, so he naturally knows the truth.
If Yuan Shu led the remnants of his troops and Yuan Shao joined forces, then Yuan Shao's power would be even greater.
It is imperative to intercept Yuan Shu.
Liu Bei also thought of the key point, and he also thought of a more important thing.
Being by Cao Cao's side is like accompanying a tiger, which is very dangerous.
It’s better to find a way to escape.
So, Liu Bei bowed and said, "Prime Minister, Yuan Shu's defeat this time must pass through Xuzhou. I am willing to lead an army to fight him for the Prime Minister!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao thought Liu Bei was quite good at doing things.
So he said, "It's great that Xuande can share my worries. I'll give you 50,000 troops and set off the next day!"
Cao Peng, who had already had insight into everything, did not say a word in the process.
Because he knew that even if he told Cao Cao that Liu Bei would definitely rebel, Cao Cao would probably not believe it.
This is not his imagination out of thin air, but real.
In the original history, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu strongly advised Cao Cao not to let Liu Bei take charge of the troops, and they all said that once Liu Bei takes charge of the troops, it would be uncontrollable.
But Cao Cao not only refused to accept it, but also told the two that Liu Bei was a gentleman, and you judged the gentleman by the heart of a villain at this time.
As a result, after Liu Bei defeated Yuan Shu in the end, he detained the military horses.
Cao Cao knew that he had made a mistake this time and was deceived by Liu Bei, but he still wanted to suffer with face and did not admit his mistake at all.
"Anmin, I see that your expression has always been a little wrong. Do you have anything to say?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao, a scheming guy, could see that Cao Peng had something in his mind.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "I was just thinking that although Liu Bei asked for his order to go to war this time, although his uncle agreed to him, he might not let him lead the army alone.
I happened to be in the city recently and my body was rusting. I wanted to go with him!"
"You?!" Cao Cao didn't expect that Cao Peng would want to go to war with Liu Bei.
"Now the work of the Jinyiwei is in a tense time. Can you leave?"
"It's okay, Man Chong and Chen Qun will definitely be able to do this job, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry now also needs to go to the real battlefield!"
Since Cao Peng said this, Cao Cao also felt some truth and agreed to go with Liu Bei.
When asked which general needed to accompany him, Cao Peng suddenly thought of Dian Wei.
I heard before that Dian Wei's injuries have healed and he has returned to the army.
Why not just call him together!
Goodbye Dian Wei, Cao Peng felt mixed feelings.
This person who has had a relationship with him or her has been considered a person who has had a relationship with him or her.
Cao Peng asked on his own initiative: "How is the injury?"
"The rest is nothing serious, but this arm always feels like you can use force as much as you used to!" Dian Wei said with a wry smile.
It seems that falling from the cliff still caused him some difficult to heal.
Cao Peng thought for a while, then said, "This is the pill I got by chance, you can take it!"
Cao Peng handed Dian Wei a tiger and leopard body refining golden elixir.
After Dian Wei took the golden elixir, he put it in his hand and looked at it for a while.
I was a little surprised, but without hesitation, I swallowed the golden elixir directly.
Afterwards, Dian Wei felt that there was a powerful force in his body that was about to burst out.
Under his muscles, the sound of bone shaking appeared.
"General, this is true!"
The joy is beyond words.
You should know that at his level, it is even more difficult to improve his strength at the slightest. However, because the effect of the pill just now not only completely restored his residual injury, but also made his martial power value reach a higher level.
If his previous peak strength and Lu Bu were in the battle with him was four or six, then now he can completely suppress Lu Bu.
"Okay, have a good rest! We will go to war the day after tomorrow."
Cao Peng patted his shoulder, leaving him a bottle of Erguotou that had just been brewed, and planned to leave.
"Wait, little general!" Dian Wei stopped him.
Then he handed a fragment of some weapon into his hands.
Cao Peng took the black fragment from Dian Wei's hand and was shocked.
Sure enough, Lu Lingqi still used this thing.
Dian Wei knew the truth, but he remained silent.
Others may not know the true face of Lushan, but Dian Wei cannot not know it.
Because in Wancheng, he had suffered losses because of this thing under Cao Peng's hands.
It seems that I owe him a favor.
When men don’t say thank you for your kindness, they will remember everything in their hearts.
Before leaving, Cao Peng planned to go to a place, which was Diao Chan's residence.
Because of Lu Lingqi's affairs, Diao Chan was in a bad mood during this period.
