Secretly glanced at Yuan Shao,

Finding that the expression on his face was cloudy and clear,

Feng Ji is very proud in his heart,

Yuan Shao said that it sounds good and is resourceful,

To say that it is unpleasant is that the roots of the ears are soft and indecisive,

Before Guo Tujin offered slander,

In front of Yuan Shao, he is very important,

Squeezed out a few of them,

Now that he has lost the battle, he will definitely not be able to turn over in a short time,

Feng Ji naturally wants to seize the opportunity to fight back,

Even if Guo Tu resurrects in the future,

Unable to compete with him any longer, he spoke:

"Our army only needs to put a heavy hand on the city pass and clear the wilderness, so that this army can have nothing to do, and it can even send a large army to encircle and suppress, but the lower officials think that the gains of encircling and suppressing this army outweigh the losses."

Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this,

Asked with some confusion:

"Wouldn't it be better to be able to completely annihilate or capture this army, how can the gains outweigh the losses?"

Feng Ji stroked his beard,

waited until Yuan Shao finished speaking before replying:

"There are three reasons, one of them, one of the main generals of this army is still the former commander of the White Horse Yicong Xiahou Lan, he has a bitter enmity with our army, even if he is defeated and captured, he will definitely not serve our army, the biggest possibility is to fight to the death with our army, the result is inevitably tragic, and if you want to encircle them, the lord needs to mobilize a large number of troops to be possible; Second, this army is Lü Bu's army, and the main purpose of this army is obviously only to hold back our army, so that our army cannot attack Yanzhou, and to facilitate Cao Cao's capture of Xuzhou. Third, once Cao Cao captures Xuzhou, not to mention that his strength will rise sharply, the next target will definitely be Jizhou, and the lord will fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. ”

Yuan Shaomo rubbed the beard on his chin and said:

"What does Yuantu mean to let me continue to send troops to Yanzhou?"

Feng Ji hurriedly followed with a sycophant:

"The lord is wise!"

Yuan Shao frowned and said:

"It's just that we have just lost 50,000 troops, and now it's too late to send other troops......

Feng Ji hurriedly said:

"Has the lord forgotten the troops of General Gaogan?"

"Gao Gan?"

Yuan Shao looked at Feng Ji suspiciously,

Immediately, a sudden look appeared on his face,

Yang Tian laughed and said:

"Hahaha, meta map clever plan! That Cao Apu would never have imagined that the army of high-ranking cadres would kill a horse gun, so he would definitely be caught off guard, hahaha, a clever plan! Coup! ”

Two days later, Yuan Shao began a large-scale clearing of the fortified wilderness in Wei County.

and guarding all the great ways,

Make a posture that you want to trap the army to death,

Although the army did not suffer a blow,

But it's not as good as before.

However, although the situation is starting to be unfavorable,

But for the time being, they are not in any danger.

For this situation, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are also happy to see it,

Their task was to delay Yuan Shao here,

Don't let him send troops south to Yanzhou.

However, to everyone's surprise,

But it is a high-ranking cadre under Yuan Shao,

Suddenly, he will go south to Yanzhou again.

Cao Cao leaned on the soft couch,

Holding his forehead with one hand and looking pained,

Recently, headaches have started to attack again.

Not far in front of him is a ding,

The cold air rises and rises,

Bring a little coolness to the house,

Recently, the war in Xuzhou has been going well,

Yuan Shao's army on the Yanzhou side has also left,

Cao Cao can be described as a spring breeze,

However, it didn't take long for

Yuan Shao's general Gao Gan actually killed a horse pistol,

Went south again to attack Yanzhou,

This time, because Cao Cao had not expected it in advance,

lost many territories one after another,

Fortunately, after all, the high-level cadres are running long distances,

Most of the sergeants and pawns were exhausted,

Therefore, there was no further south.

finally let Cao Cao stabilize the situation,

The war in Xuzhou therefore had to be suspended.

Two days ago, I also heard that Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei,

He died of drunkenness,

The murderers were his two lieutenants,

It is said that he has been beaten by Zhang Fei for a long time,

The two of them held a grudge,

Only then did he kill Zhang Fei after he couldn't bear it anymore.

In this day and age,

Due to the appearance of Lu Bu,

The three brothers Liu Guanzhang are far less famous than they are in real history.

Liu Bei is not very famous now,

Therefore, Zhang Fei's death did not cause any sensation,

But for Cao Cao,

This is great news,

After Guan Yu was captured before,

has never given Cao Cao a good look,

I don't even give you a face,

After all this time,

Finally, I am willing to go out and contact with people,

Cao Cao attaches great importance to it,

A small feast for three days, and a feast for five days,

On the horse a gold, off the horse a silver,

Such a generous treatment made many Wenchen generals under Cao Cao's command red-eyed,

If Guan Yu was not moved, it would be a lie.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless,

Cao Cao's sincerity is full,

Guan Yu was also very hesitant in his heart,

Now it seems to be a little moved,

This time Zhang Fei was killed in battle, at the hands of his generals,

Cao Cao is thinking about making good use of this matter,

Let Guan Yu be willing to use it for him,

is thinking carefully,

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside,

"My lord, there is important information!"

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows,

He said in a deep voice:

"Come in and talk."

A handsome-looking military general walked in,

This man's name is Xiahuen,

not only looks like a talent,

is even more clever and clever,

Deeply loved by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw a smile on this person's face,

"What's important?"

Xia Houen hurriedly bowed down and replied:

"Lord, there are two people outside who ask to see each other, saying that they have a big gift."

"A big gift?"

Cao Cao was very puzzled,

looked at Xia Houen and asked:

"What are the names of these two?"

Xia Houen shook his head,

Carefully recalled:

"Those two people are of ordinary stature, they seem to be in the army, and they must have been in a hurry. However, the two of them looked very dodgy, as if they were dodging something. ”

Cao Cao listened to Xia Houen's description,

I was very satisfied with this man's careful observation,

Nodding slightly, he said:

"Let the two of them in!"

"Whoa!"

Xia Houen replied neatly,

Hurriedly turned around and left.

After a while, Xia Houen walked in with two people,

Cao Cao stared at the past,

The two of them look like dusty servants,

Cowering and vigilant,

One of them was a little bad at walking,

The other man was holding a large package tightly in his arms,

Seems to be very concerned about this.

After the two entered the house,

looked around the house,

After seeing Cao Cao, he was obviously a little stunned,

The man who was not good at walking turned his head to look at Xia Houen on the side,

Xia Houen seemed to know what he meant,

He opened his mouth and said directly:

"This is Lord Cao Sikong Cao, why don't you hurry up and salute?"

The two of them trembled when they heard this,

Turning his head and subconsciously glancing at Cao Cao,

Just happened to meet his eagle-like scrutinizing gaze,

Hurriedly knelt on the ground,

Authentic with a pestle:

"Fan Jiang (Zhang Da) has seen Cao Sikong and Lord Cao!"

"What, what? Who are you? ”

Cao Cao didn't react for a while,

hurriedly asked.

Fan Jiang hurriedly raised his head and clenched his fists and said:

"In Xia Fanjiang, this is Zhang Da, the two of us are here to defect to Lord Cao, and we still have a generous gift in our hands!"

Cao Cao took a deep breath,

He asked again:

"Are you the Fan Jiang and Zhang Da who killed Liu Bei's brother Zhang Fei?"

Fan Jiang heard Cao Cao point out that the two of them killed Zhang Fei,

His expression changed slightly,

But still bold to say:

"Lord Sikong, it's our brother."

While talking, he gestured to Zhang Da beside him,

Zhang Da reacted at this time,

Hurriedly handed the large package in his hand to Xia Houen's hand,

Xia Houen unwrapped the package,

After checking it, I found that it was a brocade box containing a human head.

After confirming that there are no dangerous hidden weapons,

Only then did it reach Cao Cao's hands,

Cao Cao's result brocade box at a glance,

I saw that the brocade box was covered with lime,

A huge human head in the center,

The head is full of leopard heads and eyes, and the beard is full of cheeks,

Although he has been dead for a long time,

Even the blood has dried up completely,

But those eyes were glaring,

As if he were not blind to death and glared at his enemies,

After Cao Cao saw it,

I also felt a chill in my heart,

He asked hesitantly:

"This, this is Zhang Fei's head?"

Fan Jiang nodded hurriedly and said:

"Cao Sikong Mingjian, this is the head of Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, Zhang Fei is the enemy of Cao Sikong, and the next two have always admired Sikong, and they can't come to serve at the beginning. That's why I seized the opportunity to cut off this person's head as a gift to meet Sikong, and asked Sikong to take in the two of us. ”

As soon as the words fell, Fan Jiang immediately kowtowed and said loudly:

"Fan Jiang has seen the lord!"

Seeing this, Zhang Da hurriedly followed suit,

Both of them lay respectfully on the ground,

Cao Cao looked at the two of them with a complicated expression,

If Guan Yu had not been captured before,

I can't say that I can keep these two people,

But now Guan Yu has finally changed,

At this time, these two killed Zhang Fei,

also came with the head to serve,

Isn't this adding to the chaos......

Cao Cao's eyes rolled,

I already have a way to deal with these two people in my heart,

The style of painting changed, and suddenly his expression became extremely angry.

Cao Cao stood up suddenly,

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the two people in front of him, he shouted:

"You and other people who kill the Lord and seek glory, dare to deceive me!"

Fan Jiang and Zhang Da looked at each other,

Some people don't understand what medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd,

Fan Jiang shuddered,

Immediately realize that something is wrong,

Hurriedly lay down and kowtow like pounding garlic:

"Lord Sikong, Lord Sikong, we are wronged, the villain is wronged......"

Cao Cao didn't give the two of them a chance to plead their arguments at all,

Shouting out the door:

"Someone! Drag these two guys down for me! ”

As soon as the words fell, several soldiers with big shoulders and round waists walked in quickly,

dragged the two men, who were still in a daze, out.

Cao Cao ignored the few people who went away,

lowered his head and looked at the head of Zhang Fei, who was not blinding,

sighed softly,

Close the brocade box casually.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao straightened up,

said to Xia Houen beside him:

"Come with me to General Guan! Take those two guys, and this head. ”

Xia Houen hurriedly put away the brocade box carefully.

Cao Cao came to a single-family courtyard,

The atmosphere of this courtyard is built in luxury,

It was once the residence of a dignitary,

He spared no expense to build this place,

However, during the Yellow Turban Uprising,

The one who was dismembered and died by the rebels,

But the courtyard has been preserved intact.

Cao Cao originally lived here,

I love this place very much,

However, after capturing Guan Yu,

Cao Cao vacated directly,

This place is used as Guan Yu's residence,

In the name of captivity,

In fact, Guan Yu is reluctant to see people,

There is no shortage of food and drink in the courtyard,

And Cao Cao also specially arranged for many innocent servants to serve,

Don't let anyone come and disturb you on weekdays,

Even if Cao Cao himself wanted to come,

At the door, it is also necessary to be notified by the subordinate,

Even if it is to treat Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty,

Cao Cao is nothing more than that.

The next man went into the hospital to report,

It didn't take long for Guan Yu, dressed in casual clothes, to come in a hurry,

Although dressed in casual clothes,

But the look is very good,

Apparently life here is not boring.

"Lord Sikong, I said earlier that Lord Sikong doesn't need to be so polite, and he is in trouble."

Cao Cao waved his hand and did not respond,

His face was very heavy,

Seeing that Guan Yu's brows furrowed slightly,

Here for so long,

The first time I saw Cao Cao look like this,

"Sikong-sama, but something is worried?"

I heard that Guan Yu took the initiative to ask,

Cao Cao's expression relaxed,

It seems that the efforts of this time have not been in vain,

Guan Yu is still starting to pay attention to himself,

I am more confident in the intention of this time,

Cao Cao lowered his voice and said:

"Yun Chang, let's go in and talk."

Guan Yu had a bad premonition in his heart,

Lead the way in front to the courtyard,

Cao Cao followed him,

After the two of them entered,

Xia Houen escorted Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, who were tied into zongzi, and followed.

I deliberately didn't let Guan Yu see them before,

Although the two of them still don't understand what happened,

But I also vaguely guessed that what was waiting for them would not be a good thing,

At this moment, the two of them can't help but regret it,

Why did you come to Cao Cao?

After entering the inner house,

Guan Yu asked Cao Cao to sit down,

A beautiful woman next to her poured tea for the two,

This woman was also Cao Cao's concubine gift to Guan Yu.

Obviously, Guan Yu is quite satisfied with this woman,

Cao Cao was proud in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face,

He waited until the woman had left the room.

Only then did he say to Guan Yu in a deep voice:

"Yun Chang, your third brother, is dead!"

"What!"

Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes widened,

The tea cup in his hand was immediately crushed to pieces,

I closed my eyes and took two deep breaths,

Guan Yu opened his eyes again,

glanced at Cao Cao coldly,

The tone immediately became much more distant:

"I want to congratulate Master Cao, my third brother is extremely brave, and it is as easy as finding the head of a general among thousands of troops. Without him, Lord Cao would have a lot less resistance to occupy Xuzhou! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately understood that Guan Yu had misunderstood,

But it's also very logical,

Although Cao Cao did not restrict Guan Yu's freedom,

But he was not allowed to have access to information from the outside world.

Naturally, I don't know the cause of Zhang Fei's death.

Cao Cao hurriedly said:

"Yun Chang misunderstood Cao this time, if he killed the three generals on the battlefield, Cao would admit it even if Yun Chang was jealous, but ......"

Cao Cao didn't continue,

Instead, he took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Guan Yu.
