There was a hint of pain on Cao Cao's face, but he didn't show it.

After all, Sun Jian sent troops to help him defend against Liu Bian, and it can be said that there is no oil or water. If he also asks people to take food and grass, and military pay, I am afraid that he will turn his face immediately.

Cao Cao was already mentally prepared for this, he smiled and nodded: "There is no problem with this, of course, I won't let Brother Wentai suffer."

Zhou Yu continued: "Besides that, Jiangling will also be given to us. You can't eat meat on the front line, so we don't get any benefit at all, right?"35

Cao Cao's eyebrows twitched: "Jiangling is not my place now, if you have the ability to take it down, then I will naturally not have any opinion.

Zhou Yu laughed: "Gong Cao is really quick to talk, and his reputation is well-deserved. Naturally, there is no need for Duke Cao to worry about winning Jiangling."

"We have no problem, as long as Duke Cao is ready with provisions and salaries, we can send troops at any time. 39

Cao Cao said: "Time waits for no one, I hope Gongjin can go to the army as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and things here will not be delayed."

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded slowly.

Then there are some insignificant things, in a word, everyone is very happy to chat.

After Zhou Yu left, Xu You, who was originally drunk, regained his sobriety. At this moment, only Cao Cao and the two were in the hall.

"Ziyuan (Xu You's word), can't you send troops to help me at the beginning? Obviously Xuzhou is not the main battlefield, and it has been shrinking its troops since a few years ago. Except for the fortress, there are very few troops stationed in other places. .".

"The most important thing for us right now is to resist Liu Bian's southern invasion, otherwise, if I lose, will I be able to survive on my own?

Xu You shook his head with a wry smile: "Meng De, it's not that I don't want to help you, our friends for many years, if they could help, why wouldn't they help?"

"The person I trusted the most at the beginning was Ju Shou, but now I obey him, and my words are of little use."

"Now at the beginning, he has all his eyes on Xuzhou and Qingzhou, hoping to take advantage of the battle between you and Liu Bian."

Xu You's speech was also very jealous and resentful towards Ju Shou, who was valued by Yuan Shao. Obviously, he suffered a lot from Ju Shou's hands.

Cao Cao sighed, and for this reason, it was almost impossible for Yuan Shao to send troops.

Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Xu You with a different look on his face.

"Wenyuan, we have known each other for many years, and you know how Mr. Cao is. Since it's uncomfortable to stay there in the beginning, why don't you come to me? How about we celebrate the grand event together? 99

Xu You is also considered a talent after all, and Cao Cao naturally has a desire to recruit people who have the ability.

Xu You hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't treat me badly at first, how could I betray him like this?"

"Although our friendship is good, it is a personal friendship, and this matter cannot be brought up again."

What Xu You said was righteous and serious.

But as Cao Cao, who was familiar with him, he didn't care at all.

However, he did not continue to persecute. Xu You is a person who only sees interests. He saw that Cao Cao was in a very dangerous situation, how could he take the risk?

Cao Cao also understands this, but these things cannot be said on the table.

He sighed in disappointment: "It seems that Cao has no such luck!"

"Forget it!! Ziyuan, if you can help me, please do your best, I will not treat you badly! 35

Said that Cao Cao clapped his hands, and immediately came in a servant from outside, Cao Cao pointed at the wooden plate in the servant's hand and said, "I have a piece of work done by a famous pre-Qin master, you know that I am not good at these things, and Ziyuan If you study this way, why don't I give it to you!

Xu You's face was overjoyed, and there was even a greedy look in his eyes.

A masterpiece of the Qin Dynasty, is it worth a lot of money?

""々 Brother Meng De is too polite, how can we measure these things between you and me?

Cao Cao laughed: "This is a small gift, what is it?"

"So I'll be disrespectful, thank you Mengde.""

Xu You was even more overjoyed when he got the things from the previous dynasty, so he directly left.

When he just left, three people walked out from the corner room at the back.

It is Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Kuai Yue!

The three bowed to Cao Cao: "This Xu You is really greedy, although he is wise, his shortcomings are too obvious. 35

Cao Cao nodded: "Those with flaws are the best, he is like a chess piece I buried under Yuan Shao, and can play a huge role in critical moments.

"Let's not talk about him, what should we do next? Are we going to say hello to Liu Bei (Good Zhao) in Hanzhong?

"Isn't it just for today when we let him go?"

Guo Jia took a step forward and said with a smile: "The lord is right, it is time to contact him, Liu Yan has acquiesced in the fact that Liu Bei occupies Hanzhong.

"If Liu Bei can have a good relationship with Liu Yan, maybe he will be able to get his support.

"It's just right to ask him for help, although it's not very useful, it can finally distract Liu Bian.

Cao Cao nodded: "I have troubled a few gentlemen recently, and things must not go wrong!"

"Please!""

Cao Cao said very solemnly, and the three of them naturally showed a serious look.

"Don't worry, Duke Cao, we know which is more important..."
