Chapter 377 – Chen Qun, the Mole
May 5th, 190 A.D.
Qiao County.
Cao Cao received the news about Tong's northern campaign. He turned to Pu Jing.
"Can we attack Yuan Shao now? Zhang Tong isn't a person who will wage wars on two fronts, right?"
Pu Jing nodded, "Indeed. Zhang Tong is a cautious person, so he won't attack us. It's time for us to rush east and end Yuan Shao."
Cao Cao laughed, "Good. Let's tell Xiahou Yuan to be prepared. We'll take Xiaopei first! Should I mobilize other units in Jibei and Chenliu?"
"Jibei can attack Langye, but Chenliu has to remain there. We need those troops to intimidate Xiao Wu and Zhang Liao that we are defending the border cities even though we are allies. It will stop Zhang Tong's subordinate from moving on their own."
"Wait, Zhang Tong doesn't hold absolute control over them?"
"I suspect not. Zhang Tong has given back authorities to his men. I think it was because of Te Langpu's system."
