1470 , to win over the allies
"Damn it, I knew he was uneasy."
After hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Hong gritted his teeth and suddenly became resentful to Yang Xiu.
"Be careful in everything, General Zixiao." Sima Yi told Cao Hong next to him.
"It's better to you Zhongda, I don't believe that Yang Xiu is so vicious." Cao Hong said to Sima Yi.
His tone was a little grateful, and he had already treated Sima Yi as his own.
Sima Yi was happy. He told Cao Hong that Yang Xiu’s intention was to provoke the relationship between Cao Hong and Yang Xiu. In the future, if he needed to deal with Yang Xiu, there would be one more allies on his side.
"There is no way, who made him trusted by the Chief?" Sima Yi said to Cao Hong, his tone deliberately with a hint of helplessness.
"Hmph, I must remind the Prime Minister to be careful of this guy, so as not to let him harm the Prime Minister." Cao Hong snorted coldly, very unhappy.
That's great, Sima Yi was even happier.
Cao Hong was very kind to Cao Cao and was Cao Cao's own family. Cao Cao would definitely pay attention to his words. Even if he ignored them once or twice, he would always work if he said too much.
"Yes, I hope General Xiao of my son and remind the Prime Minister more to avoid being deceived by villains." Sima Yi said lightly next to him. His voice was not loud, but his intention was very obvious.
"I'll tell the Prime Minister now that Yang Xiu is a villain." After hearing this, Cao Hong had the impulse to sue.
"General Zixiao, please wait."
Sima Yi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Now, the Prime Minister may think that you are doing something for no reason and taking revenge, but it does not have much effect. It is better to escort Liu Zhe's caravan first. You must not be careless in this matter, and I hope General Xiao of Zi should pay more attention."
Sima Yi's words are sincere. He hopes that Cao Hong will complete this escort mission seriously. After all, he does not want something to happen to his allies in his sense. He will use Cao Hong to deal with Yang Xiu in the future.
Cao Hong's favorability now is quite high, and he can still listen to Sima Yi's words. Moreover, Sima Yi's words also make sense, so he gave up the idea of complaining.
However, he was not very concerned about the task of escorting. He said carelessly: "It's just a group of merchants. What's so great about it?"
"They are Liu Zhe's people." Sima Yi said.
"So what about Liu Zhe's people? Are you not a lowly merchant?"
Cao Hong disdained and said to Sima Yi: "Look, if I go, they will definitely be able to treat me properly. Who dares to be arrogant in front of me?"
Cao Hongda looked down on the businessman from the bottom of his heart and did not think that this escort mission was a big deal.
Cao Hong left with this feeling, lit up three hundred people, and then headed straight for the caravan.
The caravan just crossed the Yellow River, and Cao Hong still needed to go north to find them.
Dingtao, where Liu Bang once proclaimed himself emperor, was quite close to Jiyin and Wuchao, and was also an important metropolis of the water and land transportation routes in the Central Plains.
The huge caravan that has always appeared here attracted the attention of people around.
"Wow, so many high-quality horses?"
"Whose?"
"It's Liu Taiwei's caravan."
Someone saw the flag of the caravan.
As soon as this said, everyone suddenly realized and no longer felt surprised.
"It turned out to be the caravan of Taiwei Liu, no wonder."
"Taiwei Liu is so powerful. A caravan with so many war horses at one time is so envious of people. How much money does this cost?"
"This is the first time I have seen so many war horses. Are you going to sell them to?"
"Is it sold to Prime Minister Cao?"
"No, even if Prime Minister Cao wants to buy it, the Grand Marshal wouldn't sell so many war horses to him, right?"
"As long as the price is high enough, I guess the Taiwei will sell it."
"Will Prime Minister Cao burst into blood?"
"You don't have to guess. It is said that these war horses are to be given to the two emperor uncles in Jingzhou." Someone is well-informed.
"What? Giving it? Who has such a big face?"
"Of course it's Liu Biao and Liu Jingzhou from Jingzhou, and Liu Bei and Liu Huang Uncle from Xinye. Apart from the two of them, who else is worthy of being so generous to Taiwei Liu?"
"Brother, tell me, why did the Grand Marshal suddenly give so many war horses to those two? Good, there are many war horses here, at least one thousand."
"One thousand five hundred horses, and they are all top-notch war horses." The well-informed man said the number of war horses.
"hiss..."
Many of the people here are businessmen, so they naturally know how much a war horse is worth. There are 1,500 war horses. At least the people watching here do not have the financial resources to buy it.
Therefore, after knowing the number of these war horses, many people's eyes turned red and they wanted to rush forward and take these war horses for themselves.
But when they saw the caravan's guards, they shivered and extinguished their greed.
These caravan guards are not vegetarians. If you dare to mess with them, just wait for death.
What's more, even if they can defeat these guards and steal these war horses, they will not be able to bear the revenge of Liu Zhe afterwards. The past examples are there, bloody examples.
"What are these birdmen looking at?"
