NOVEL FROG Chapter 31
In the city of Xuzhou.
Ever since Cao Jian led his troops to capture the city and reused Chen Deng, letting him preside over the posting of notices to pacify the people, the city that was originally in ruins due to the war soon returned to normal.
Not only did it not become as chaotic as Chen Gong expected, but it also had a brand new look!
Among them, it must be said that Chen Deng, a local tyrant, made great contributions!
What's more rare is that even the matter of the captives that Cao Jian specifically explained: a problem that was originally quite difficult, was also handled quite properly by Chen Deng!
In just one or two days, a few guys with ulterior motives among the thousands of captives were all caught!
After a severe punishment of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the remaining more than a thousand captive soldiers were encouraged by his ideological education and were successfully recruited by Le Jin on the spot!
In addition, all other affairs in the city, big and small, whether military, political, or civil, were handled quite beautifully by Chen Deng!
Even Cao Jian saw it, and couldn't help but secretly praised it in his heart:
"This Chen Deng is indeed a rare first-class talent in Xuzhou City!"
"No wonder in later history, after Liu Bei fled from Xuzhou, he always regretted missing this great talent.……"
With such a talented person to help him, Cao Jian was naturally happy to be a hands-off boss: he just spent a lot of time with Diao Chan and Du Shi without any shame or anxiety...
As for being hated by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu and others, and becoming the target of public criticism?
For Cao Jian, he didn't care at all!
The only regret might be that he failed to take advantage of the chaos in Xiaopei to kill Liu Bei in advance!
"That's all! Liu Bei's means of saving his life were already first-rate, and he was protected by two powerful enemies, Guan and Zhang, so it was normal that he didn't die.
Everything can only be done by human efforts and God's will. Let's wait and see if there will be another chance in the future.……"
"After all this commotion?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are probably hostile to me! It will be even harder to recruit them for my own use in the future.……"
Muttering to himself, Cao Jian seemed somewhat helpless about the latest intelligence he had received.
After laughing it off, he did not take it too seriously.
Immediately, Cao Jian picked up the secret letter that Guo Jia had secretly sent over and read it carefully:
"Second Young Master: Xiaopei's affairs are under control!
Madam Gan and Madam Mi, I have sent people to protect them according to your secret order!
As you said, both women are rare beauties in the world: one has skin whiter than snow, and the other is delicate and lovely.
When you see them with your own eyes, you will definitely not be disappointed!
I have already met them in advance for you, hehe……"
When Xin saw this, Cao Jian couldn't help but laugh and curse:
"Guo Jia is a guy who never wants to suffer a loss! He has already collected the interest for the feast before the person has been handed over.……"
He could even imagine the smug and frivolous look on Guo Jia's face when he wrote the word"hehe" in the letter!
Cao Jian naturally wouldn't blame this extremely smart friend in Cao's camp, who was even more rare to be able to hang out with him.
He simply laughed and cursed, and then continued to read on:
"Second Young Master, although Madam Gan and Madam Mi are good, they are still Liu Bei's concubines in name after all.
After Liu Bei escaped from Xiaopei, he has now openly surrendered to the lord, and is now on his way to Xiaopei with the army...
I was thinking, now that the Cao and Liu families are allies, some things are difficult to handle! What if the Second Young Master openly took the two ladies?
The impact would be too great, and it would not be conducive to the lord's recruitment of talents and stability; but if he gave up, or continued to keep them in Xiaopei?
The two ladies would return to Liu Bei's arms in a blink of an eye, which would ruin the young master's mood.……"
When Xin saw this, even Cao Jian couldn't help but feel a headache:
"This is indeed a tricky matter.……"
Despite his headache, Cao Jian believed that Guo Jia would definitely have a solution:
"I thought such a small matter should not be difficult for the genius Guo Fengxiao!"
He continued to look down while complaining in his heart.
Sure enough, he saw Guo Jiaxin's trick in the blink of an eye!
"This matter cannot openly hurt the harmony between Cao and Liu, nor can it let the second young master's efforts go in vain!
I thought about it and came up with a plan!
Isn't the main city of Xuzhou occupied by the young master now?
However, with only 5,000 soldiers, it must be difficult to defend it!"
"Xuzhou is surrounded by powerful enemies!
If Sun Ce of Jiangdong or Yuan Shu of Huainan learn about the situation in the city, they will most likely send heavy troops to seize it!
Even if we leave aside the external enemies, even Lu Bu himself will definitely not let it be occupied by us.
What's more, Chen Gong, who is under Lu Bu's command, is also very resourceful.
When they learn about the battle report and come to their senses,
I'm afraid they will immediately send troops to fight for it...
So in my opinion, we should immediately send troops to reinforce Xuzhou and help you defend it!"
"Xiaopei is close to Xiapi, and will face the greatest wrath of Lu Bu's side!
Xiaopei is a small city, and in the chaos of war, the two wives of Gan and Mi are in danger.
For safety, it is appropriate to send them to Xuzhou City with the reinforcements and hand them over to the protection of the prince.……"
"I will use the above words to cover up for you!
Madam Gan and Madam Mi will be escorted by General Gongming and 5,000 men and horses to Xuzhou City!
By then, the truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth will surely be able to deceive everyone.……"
"I racked my brains, but I can only help you so far!
As for how to properly place the person after sending her there?
And whether you can finally get the beauty back from Liu Bei politely and gracefully?
Everything is beyond my control, and it all depends on your methods.……"
