Chapter 42 Cao Bao

Cao Bao (?-196), a general of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that he is Lv Bu's cousin and has no way to investigate. When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Cao Bao and Liu Bei attacked Cao in the east of Tan County, but were defeated by Cao Cao. Liu Bei, the late official, was the prime minister of Pi. He guarded Pi during the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu. Instead, he welcomed Lv Bu into the city and was killed by Zhang Fei.

Cao Cao withdrew from the army, and the people in the whole city were happy, but Cao Bao was angry.

"Old man, I, Cao Bao, have been following you for many years. You refused to pass the position of state herding to me. I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!" The voice is sad and full of resentment.

For a long time, Cao Bao suppressed his anger and shouted in a low voice, "In this case, if you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Come on, invite Tao Shang and Tao Ying to come to the banquet.

I have to say that Cao's subordinates acted quickly. A moment later, Tao Shang and Tao Ying came to Caofu.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Bao seemed to inadvertently say, "Alas, Tao Gong was confused by Li Feng's thief. How can the position of state herdsman be handed over to an outsider?"

Tao Shang and Tao Ying were silent and bowed their heads to drink muffled wine.

Cao Bao looked at his words and said, "The two princes are Tao Gong's flesh and blood. Anyway, you two have to inherit the position of state pastor!"

Tao Shang is the eldest son and the eldest son, and he is most likely to inherit the position of state pastoral. Hearing this, hatred flashed in his eyes and drank all the wine in the glass. Tao Ying was a little impatient to hear that he was the second son or a concubine. Even if Li Feng did not inherit the position of state pastoral, he had no hope. At this moment, he was very free and easy and quite indifferent.

Cao Bao has been in officialdom for a long time and can be regarded as a personal essence. He figured out the thoughts of the two princes in two words.

We were full of wine and food, and talked about some things about the wind and moon. All three of them were evil spirits in lust, and they had a sense of pity for a while.

It was getting late, and Tao Shang and Tao Ying left one after another. Cao Bao got up to see off the guests. When he arrived at the door of the house, he suddenly whispered in Tao Shang's ear and said, "The eldest son, please stay. Cao Bao has something important to discuss."

Tao Shang was stunned when he heard the words. When he woke up, he immediately walked to the hut on the pretext of pain in his abdomen.

Tao Ying was slightly drunk and impatient to wait, so he left first.

After Tao Ying left, Cao Bao hosted a new banquet to entertain Tao merchants.

During the banquet, Tao Shang couldn't help asking, "General Cao, I don't know what's important to hide from my second brother?"

Cao Bao's face looked cautious: "This matter is very important. It comes out of my mouth and into the ears of the prince. Don't let the third person know! Otherwise, you and I will have no place to die!"

Tao Shang was shocked and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"

Cao Bao rebuked his subordinates and ordered his cronies to close the door of the house and whispered, "I want to help the prince seize the throne!"

"What?" Tao Shang stood for a long time as if he heard the thunder.

Cao Bao whispered: "Li Feng is a thief, demagogic. When Tao Gong was critically ill, he defrauded him of the position of state pastoral; all the officials and ambitious people in Xuzhou were dissatisfied. Cao is not talented and is willing to eradicate Li Feng's thief and help him regain the position of state herdsman!"

Hearing this, Tao Shang's face was uncertain and full of hesitation. After a long time, it is still difficult to choose.

While waiting for a long time, Cao Bao sighed: "Alas, Tao Qian is outstanding. How could his son be such a waste? The matter of seizing the throne is related to life and death. If you agree, you will agree. If you don't, you shouldn't. How can you hesitate!"

was sighing, but he thought: "The more straw merchant is, the easier it is for me to control him when he ascends to the position of state pastoral. So it seems that this is a good thing." Thinking of this, Cao Bao's eyebrows gradually stretched.

After waiting for a long time, Tao Shang finally made a decision. He said to Cao Bao, "Zhu Mu is the father of the family and should not fall into the hands of outsiders. Please ask General Cao for advice."

Cao Bao was overjoyed and whispered, "Li Feng's thief, forced Tao Gong to be located in him; thinking about it, the imperial edict of appointment will arrive within three or five days. At that time, Li Feng took over the position of state herdsman and would definitely entertain the officials of Xuzhou. On the banquet, neglect of vigilance is a God-given opportunity. Now I am in charge of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, but I can secretly ambush the knife and axe hand; under the order of the prince, the knife and axe hand is exhausted, and I will definitely cut Li Feng's thief into meat sauce. As soon as Li Feng died, the prince was the eldest son of Duke Tao and the legitimate son. It was logical to inherit the position of state herdsman.

Thinking of the scene of commanding Xuzhou and competing for the world in the future, Tao Shang was moved. He raised his glass with trembling hands to let the mellow wine flow through his throat and suppress the greed and fear in his heart.

Chen Deng was drinking in the house when his confidant suddenly came to report: "Your Excellency, Cao Bao invited Tao Shang and Tao Ying to the two sons. The second son Tao should leave first; after the second son left, Cao Bao discussed with the eldest son Tao for a long time. It was not until the day was clear that the eldest son left Cao's mansion. Cao Bao was cautious. At the time of secret discussion, he retreated left and right. The doors and windows were closed, and our people could not approach them.

"Hum," Chen Deng sneered and said, "Mr. Tao expected it to be good. It seems that Cao Bao can't help but do it. Well, the eldest son... So it seems that the second son is still honest, and Mr. Tao will not be immortal." Speaking of the last sentence, his face was heavy and he sighed.

After meditating for a moment, Chen Deng said, "Come on, please invite Mr. Mizhu to have a banquet."

Mi Zhu received Chen Gong's invitation and did not dare to neglect it.

Within't wait for Mi Zhu to take a breath, Chen Deng said to himself, "Cao Bao has made a move!"

"What?" Mi Zhu was shocked and immediately asked, "Which son is it, the eldest son Tao Shang or the second son Tao Ying?" Or are both sons involved?"

Chen Deng frowned and said, "According to the signs, it should be the eldest son Tao Shang. For the sake of caution, I have sent someone to secretly monitor the two princes.

"It's so good," Mi Zhu sighed: "I didn't expect Tao Gong to be dead, but he still can't live in peace."

Chen Deng asked, "In my opinion, when will Cao Bao's rebels take action?"

Mizhu thought for a little and said, "It must be the day when the edict arrives!" In ordinary days, General Li has an iron armored warrior to protect himself, and Cao Bao has no chance at all. Only when you invite large and small officials in Xuzhou will there be opportunities to take advantage of it.

Chen Deng smiled and said, "The heroes think alike. It seems that it's time to use the killing moves left by Mr. Tao!"

"Well," Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Would you like to give General Li a voice to remind him?"

Chen Deng laughed: "Do you think General Li knows nothing about this? Guo Jia, Chen Gong and Cheng Yu under his command are all talented people. How can they be unprepared? I'm afraid General Li is waiting for us to do it!"

=============================Separator===================================

"Lord, Cao Bao has made a move."

"Hum," Li Feng sneered and his murderous face flashed away: "Sure enough, as expected by the military division, he couldn't help it!"

"Second brother, do you want to..." Liao Hua gently scratched his neck and cut his throat.

"No," Li Feng shook his head, and a murderous look appeared on his face: "Let's put a long line and catch big fish; simply make them noisy. I'd like to see how many opposition forces there are in Xuzhou!"

Guo Jia also said, "Cao Bao's name is not right, and his words are not right; if he wants to take action, he will definitely pull the two sons of Duke Tao. If we take action, I'm afraid it will make people laugh at by the world, saying that we have just received the favor of Mr. Tao, and we will immediately kill his children and forget their kindness!"

"But..." Liao Hua still wants to persuade again.

"Don't worry," Cheng Yu said, "There are a lot of wise men in Xuzhou, and they won't let Cao Bao mess around; I just need to watch the play, and someone will deal with him!"

Chen Gong also said, "Although that's the case, it's better to be careful. At the banquet, you must wear close-fitting inner armor, take the blade with you, and don't slack off.

"Well," Li Feng nodded and turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you are cautious. During the banquet, 300 elite soldiers are hidden in the city master's mansion, just in case."

"Zhao Yun is in command."

"Well, count the days, the imperial edict should come!"

=============================Separator=============================

Cao Cao was angry and attacked cruelly. Many of the conquered counties have been slaughtered and deserted. In desperation, Li Feng had to urgently transfer 200,000 Qingzhou yellow scarves from Runan to enrich the population of Xuzhou.

After a lot of tossing, Li Feng was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground and almost fainted.

"What?" Li Feng was shocked: "Liu Bei went to Xichuan?"

The detective replied, "It was Liu Bei who abandoned the position of Pingyuan County Magistrate and was invited by Liu Yan to go to Xichuan. Accompanying him were his adopter Guan Yu and the master book Jian Yong.

"How long has he been away?" Li Feng asked urgently.

"Half a month."

Alas, there is no chance to kill halfway. Li Feng frowned, and Liu Bei was a handsome man. At this moment, he was unknown, just because there was no excellent counselor. In the land of Xichuan, thousands of miles of fertile fields, the people are rich, and there are also wise men such as Fazheng and Zhang Song. When Liu Bei enters Sichuan, it is the dragon that returns to the sea, and the tiger enters the mountains and forests. After a long time, it will become a big disaster! If Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and other heroes in the Central Plains can suppress him for a while; but in Xichuan, Liu Yan is already old, how can he subdue Liu Bei in his prime?

Oh, it's negligent, it's really negligent!

While Li Feng was regretting, another bad news came. Sun Jian attacked Jiangdong and killed Liu Yao, and there was a faint tendency to unify the six counties in Jiangdong. Fortunately, when Sun Jian sent troops to Jiangdong to rule the emptiness, Liu Biaoling made a sneak attack on Changsha.

Wenpin was proficient in military tactics and bravely; in just half a month, he broke through the whole county of Changsha. In the chaotic war, Sun Jian's descendants fought hard to keep the whole family from breaking out of the siege and successfully escaped from Changsha.

Li Feng secretly hated: "Water army, water army, where can I get a water army!"

Li Feng has long been greedy for six counties in Jiangdong, but he has no water army in his hand, so he can only watch it!

Although Zhang Fei is unstoppable on land, once he gets on the boat, he immediately becomes a soft-footed shrimp! Taishici and Zhao Yun are better. They can fight water, but they don't know how to train the water army! Li Feng is now a prince. There are a lot of talents under his rule, but there is no one who can practice the water army. I really hate Li Feng's teeth! At this time, Li Feng understood why he would tolerate Cai Mao and other villains to lead the navy with Cao Cao's heroic talent.

While Li Feng was fierce, Guo Jia walked into the door and said, "Lord, the edict has arrived!"

Good show, it's the beginning!
