In the second year of Jian'an, in early summer, I put on my coat and walked around the streets and alleys of Xudu. The summer heat has begun to appear, but fortunately, Lao Cao also knows that summer is not an excellent time to use soldiers, so I have been able to have a summer vacation recently.

A year ago, as Xiyun himself said, he died. The drama came and went in a chic way, and he waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud, but it really made Lao Cao worried. The Central Plains is the time to use soldiers, how can there be no reliable military advisors? I also happened to have enough leisure, so I asked Xun Yu to introduce me to Lao Cao as a military advisor. At that time, I didn't have much opportunity to play in the first year of my tenure, and it made me feel like I was a prostitute for nothing (in fact, it was). However, in my spare time, I have a lot of experience in the study of the Taiping Essentials.

"Strategist, what should I do?" I met a middle-aged man who was not tall, but had more than enough martial arts, "Miaocai is," I looked at the two jars of wine he was holding, "Are you going to find a place to drink secretly?" "What do you mean secretly?" Xiahou Yuan glanced at me, "I just came back from the martial arts arena, and I haven't had time to call you yet! You take it!" He stuffed the wine into my arms without saying anything, "I'll call my eldest brother, you go to the old place and wait first." ”

Unlike most of the scholars under Lao Cao's command, I have a very good relationship with the Cao clan, or the Xiahou clan. Instead of generating a heavenly text with a group of stinky books, it is better to have a hearty drink with these bold people. For this reason, Brother Xun Yu also educated me, saying that if you say a strategist, you must have a strategist's Yazi, but he also knows that he can't control me, after all, I was recommended by him, and he still has to pretend to be admonished and persuaded for inappropriate behavior.

I held two jugs of wine in my arms and walked short into a dilapidated tavern in the middle of the city. "Eh, Guo Gongzi is here!" Xiao Er put down his work and welcomed me to an empty seat in the tavern, "How many people are there today?" "How many?" I smiled and said, "Let's watch and cook a few dishes first." You don't need to serve wine, it's ready-made. "I knocked on the jar.

"Miaocai, you really stinky brother. Before the person entered the tavern, the voice floated in first, "I haven't finished patrolling the city yet, so this makes the eldest brother know how bad!" "Brother Yuanrang!" I got up with a smile, "I'm still full of vitality as always." "Hey, Fengxiao," Xiahou Yuan's armor was still on his body, "I'm different from you two idlers! I'm on business!" "Brother!" Xiahou Yuan picked up the wine jar from the table with a wicked smile, "The wine of Qian County! I just stole it from the boss's mansion today." "Hmm... Hmm..."Xiahoudun opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, "This city patrol is indeed important, but Yu Ban is enough for one person, I want to... Want... I want to supervise you, you have drunk too much and ruined the reputation of our army!"

"Hey, it's so lively. "Xiahou Miaocai, are you stealing the boss's wine again?" Two figures came in from the door, "Go, don't talk nonsense." Xiahou Yuan flatly denied it, "How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air?" "Don't be verbose, those who see it have a share, if you want us to shut up, you will be full of wine!" The visitor replied unceremoniously. "Okay!!" Xiahou Yuan admitted, "Little Er, five pairs of chopsticks!"

The people who came were the brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong. Their relationship with the Xiahou brothers can drink together, but they will not prostitute together. Because I don't belong to their clan, the two Cao brothers are a little wary and alienated from me, not like the two Xiahou who can be heartless brothers.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the five of us have already gone up and started to brag. "When I was so old in Fengxiao," Xiahou Yuan's face was already red like a monkey's buttocks, "I spent the night with four singers one night, but I was tired?" "What do you mean when I was so old?" I listened unpleasantly, "Who do you look down on? I have no problem with five a night now!" "You are so weak, I don't believe it!" Cao Ren said, "If you talk like this, the Wenruo Protection Association will protest again!"

"Hmph, you all don't brag about it!" Xia Houdun had already taken off his armor and threw it aside, "I am the oldest, my bird is the biggest, I am not targeting anyone, I just want to express a meaning, everyone here, all of you are meowing to his younger brother!" "Oh?" A strong voice sounded from the door, "Then I am too?" "When..."Before Xiahoudun finished speaking, I kicked him hard from under the table and made him shut up. "Hehe..."Xiahou Yuan's wine woke up most of the time, "Boss, why are you here?"

"Hmph. "Lao Cao was in his early forties, and it was the most mature period of a man's time, "The wine I hid was stolen, and I can't find it yet?" "Hey, hey, hey..." "You five!" Lao Cao slapped the table hard, making the five of us tremble, "During the duty, come out to drink, and he meows to drink my wine? Don't you meow me when you drink my wine!" Lao Cao picked up the two wine jars and shook them, and the five of us stood at the table like punishments, not daring to make an air. "There's not a bite left? Forget it, it's okay to take a few of you, sit down," Lao Cao took the lead and sat down, "Man Boning! A seven-foot-tall man walked out of the back kitchen, motioned for Xiao Er not to stay in the lobby, and then sat down at the table with a smile on his face.

"I said Berning, I'll make you have this whole tavern for the purpose of feeding back information from all kinds of spies. Lao Cao's face ached, "It's not for drinking and bragging about these stinky brothers!" "Yes! Yes!" replied with a full face, "I will definitely kick them all out before you come." ”“... Sooner or later, a few of you will be angry with me to death..."Lao Cao was completely helpless, "Okay, let's get down to business!" He took out a letter and threw it on the table, "Just when you are spending all day drinking, I am about to be angry with Brother Yuan Benchu." The six of us got together and quickly read Yuan Shao's letter. There is nothing of value, in my opinion, it is a test by satirizing Lao Cao's defeat in Wancheng.

"My lord," Man Chong was the first to speak, "According to the report from the Hebei spies, Yuan Shao has been in constant friction with Gongsun Chan recently, and his subordinates think that this letter satirizes you is secondary, and the main thing is to test your attitude, and then decide whether to open fire with Gongsun Chan in an all-round way." ”

"Uh-huh," Lao Cao held his forehead, "But this guy has nothing to do in the past few years to mock me, who can bear this!, you guys, what about the good lord and the lord and the lord and the lord and the minister?" "We can die for the boss!" Xia Houyuan had a reasonable expression, "But who will lead the troops when we die?" He instantly smiled. "Haha..."Lao Cao glanced at him, "Let's say well, if we go to Yuan Shao to start a war, we can't fight." "In terms of military strength, it can't be beaten now. Cao Ren poured cold water on Lao Cao, "Moreover, Yuan Shao's territory is large, if he annexes Gongsun Zhan, we are not opponents." Cao Hong followed with a knife.

"Or we can take advantage of Yuan Shao's fight with Gongsun and give him a look from behind. Xiahoudun made a suggestion, "Don't be stupid..."As Lao Cao's military advisor, sometimes I still have to show myself, "We can stab the knife from the back of the buttocks, then we also have knives behind the buttocks, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and the like, all of them are spying on our territory." Surrounded by strong enemies, we need to carefully consider every step before acting. ”

"Feng Xiao, according to what you say, can't we only keep defending?" Lao Cao asked, "Lao Cao, the time has not yet come, now we can only wait for the situation to change." I replied, "Don't worry, there will be movement in Xuzhou." ”
