The camp was safe, Cao Ren returned to his big tent, and Lu Su also returned to his Jiangdong Army's big tent, but they didn't know that at the head of Linxiang City, Huang Zhong, the guard general of Changsha, from the time their two armies came here until the two returned to the camp, he was all in his eyes. Although Huang Zhong really doesn't take it lightly, after all, they are not close, and he is not young at this age, and his eyes are not so good. But in general, Cao Ren and Lu Su, Huang Zhong can still distinguish between them.

Seeing the two leaving, Huang Zhong muttered to himself at the head of the city, "I'm not afraid that you will come, but I am afraid that you will not come!" Hahaha, now it's okay, the old man's knife is already rusty, hahahaha! ”

After speaking, he twisted his long hair in his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked at the large camps of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army in the distance. For Huang Zhong, of course he would not rob the camp, after all, there was no such time, and now he does not have this strength. But it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, so he naturally wants to take a good look. You can't go out of the city to see it for yourself, but at the head of the city, it's indispensable. Don't look at Huang Zhong's age, but his experience is indeed very rich, and he is conscientious and very serious-

Regardless of how capable he is and how strong his martial arts are, it is not ordinary to say that his seriousness is not ordinary. If you think he's old and easy to bully because he's old, then 8∵ is really a big mistake. I think in the romance, Xiahou Yuan didn't take Huang Zhong too seriously, but the final result is needless to say.

Cao Ren and they left. Huang Zhong then went down to the city, and he was now waiting for tomorrow's battle. Show off your skills. Huang Zhong didn't think he was so powerful, but he had to say it. Seeing opponents like Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army, he really had itchy hands! Even at his age, his aggressive nature has not changed. How to say it, don't look at how Huang Zhong usually speaks and acts, but when he saw the Yanzhou Army Jiangdong Army, he was indeed happy to see the hunt.

Just like Huo Jun was happy when he saw someone attacking the city, Huang Zhong saw that there was an opponent. Naturally, he was happy in his heart. After all, only in this way can it be shown that although he is old, he can still help his lord and help himself, and he is still of great use-

At his age, what he hated most was that others said that he was old, but this was a fact, so Huang Zhong heard others talk about his age. Then he would never say that he was young, but he would say that he could eat and drink as much as he could, and even more. Even on the battlefield, you can still kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and it will definitely not be less than any of you. On the contrary, there will be more!

That's what he uses to contradict others, of course. Someone who really understands him should be Huang Zhong's face anyway. It's true that he won't say he's old. It's Ma Chao, he basically won't say that Huang Zhong is either Hansheng or General Huang, and he rarely comes out with an old word. Yes, Ma Chao also knows that Huang Zhong is old, but he is indeed old and strong, and he doesn't know how many young people are better than him, which is not wrong at all.

A day later, Cao Ren ordered Niu Jin to lead his troops to test Linxiang, which was guarded by Huang Zhong. As for Guo Huai and Zhang Liao, of course, they are resting, and Lu Su also means the same. How to say it, even if he knows that this Linxiang must be more difficult to attack than Luo County, but it is better to let Guo Huai and Zhang Liao rest first, and then talk about the rest, this Niu Jin goes first, it's good-

Huang Zhong looked at the other party and sent a general to lead the troops, which made him feel that he was looking down on himself. After all, Huang Zhong knew that in the end, the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army broke Luo County, and Guo Huai and Zhang Liao were used to lead troops to deal with Gan Ning. As a result, when I got here, there was only one left, and it seemed that it was still not as good as the Niu Jin of Guo Huai and Zhang Liao.

Of course, Huang Zhong definitely didn't mean to look down on Niu Jin, this is definitely not, after all, he also knows that the other party is still capable. But if I remember correctly, Xiangnan and Yiyang before this were this Niu Jin who led the troops, and it was he Niu Jin who dealt with his unscrupulous son and Mi Fang, and it was him who dealt with him. Could it be that he is at the same level as his son and Mi Fang?

Huang Zhong is indeed not arrogant, but he still thinks that he is more than two people no matter how he says, he still has this confidence, but now, what about ......-

But Cao Ren and Lu Su still let Niu Jinshang, which really made me feel that the other party looked down on him, and treated himself on the same level as his son and Mi Fang. Of course, Huang Zhong didn't think about it so much, because in the end, Cao Ren and Lu Su really had no choice, so they let Guo Huai and Zhang Liao go up, otherwise, this "killing chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife" ah. can deal with Huang Zhong's Linxiang, they are not without this idea, but this is the first time, and they will not reveal all the hole cards at once.

Niu Jin led his troops to attack, Huang Zhong shouted at his soldiers, and then participated in the defense of the city. For him, this defending the city is indeed a rare time. After all, his father-in-law made himself the coach, which is indeed nothing unusual. But this defending the city, people have to really come over, just like now, they are guarding Linxiang, but the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, if they don't come, who will they find to fight?

So this is also such a time, if they don't come, they can really only wait here, I don't know when my lord can still use himself-

Cao Cao had already returned to Xudu from Youzhou, and at this time he received a battle report from the front, which is now Jingzhou. This was apparently presented to him by Zhu Zan. Of course, there are also some things that Tanma reported to him, so Cao Cao read what Zhu Zan wrote. I listened to Tanma tell him about the current war in Jingzhou.

Cao Cao knew that Ma Chao had already entered Jiangling, and Cao Ren and Lu Su had gone to Changsha. on this. This was what he expected, but it was still a little different from what he thought. In his opinion, this side has fought with the Liangzhou army twice, and it has lost twice, which is not only a matter of face, but really, he is too disappointed.

In Cao Cao's view, this is his own side, plus the Jiangdong Army. Coupled with Liu Bei's side, together, and not the opponent of the Liangzhou army, does this mean that his side is really inferior to the Liangzhou army? He had such an idea in his heart, but he would definitely not admit anything. Even if he thinks in his heart that his own side is not as good as the combat strength of the Liangzhou Army, he can't say a word on his lips-

Cao Cao asked Tanma to go down, and let him order: "Come here." Go and invite Wenruo, Gongda, and the three gentlemen of Zhongde to come! ”

"No!"

Cao Cao had a lot of subordinates, so it was impossible to let everyone come, so it was enough to let the three most important strategists come. He had something to ask them.

After a while, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu came over together, they were busy with their own affairs, but when they heard that their lord was looking for them. So he hurried over. I know that there is something important, otherwise my lord would not be able to find him at this time.

"You guys, please be seated!"

"Thank you, lord!" The three of them said in unison.

Wait for the three of them to sit down. Cao Cao handed over Zhu Zan's report to Xun Yu. Let them circulate it one at a time. After all, it's better for them to watch it first, and then talk about it themselves-

The three of them were circulated in turn, and finally Cheng Yu finished reading it, and then Cao Cao said to the three: "Our army and the Jiangdong army were defeated twice in a row, and then Ma Mengqi led the troops to Jiangling, and Zixiao went to Changsha ......"

Cao Cao briefly told the three of them, and there were some written by Zhu Zan, and of course there were also those he didn't write. After all, Zhu Zan also knows that this thing that he reported to his lord is too detailed, not good, and too little, it is definitely not good, so of course he must master such a degree. After all, the writing is too detailed, this Jingzhou still has their own exploration horses, what else can they do? As for saying that there are fewer evils, it is even worse, and then the lord may think that he is not doing things well.

So Zhu Zan's idea is actually quite right, Cao Cao is still quite satisfied with him, and what he did, Cao Cao thought it was just right.

After that, Cao Cao said: "I don't know what you think of the current situation? ”

Hearing their lord's question, the three of them thought for a while, and then heard Xun Yu say: "Lord, dare to ask the lord, I don't know what the lord thinks now?" ”——

Speaking of course, Xun Yu knows the character of his lord, but to be honest, he can indeed be regarded as a person who dares to speak more in Cao Ying. Xun Yu is indeed bold in front of Cao Cao, which is not bad at all. Of course, he dared to speak out, not that Xun Yu didn't have any worries at all, but he felt that in many cases, it was really necessary to explain what he said, otherwise, no one would dare to tell the truth, then it would be too boring, and it would delay things.

As soon as Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, based on his understanding of his people, it seemed that there was something in his words. Immediately, he seemed to think of something, but Cao Cao still said: "Now Liu Xuande is in decline, although Jiangling is also a good city in the world, there are tens of thousands of horses in the city, and even the original Jingzhou army is there, but it may not be the opponent of the Liangzhou army." I'm worried that this Gangneung will be lost after a long attack! ”

When the three of them heard their lord's words, they nodded slightly, in fact, what their lord said, why didn't they think about it like this. But in the current situation, how do you let your side do it, whether to continue to send reinforcements, or ......-

Xun Yu also nodded slightly, but he still asked, "So does the lord want to continue to send reinforcements?" Or ......"

Cao Cao heard this, and then said: "Wen Ruo's meaning, in addition to continuing to send reinforcements, is there any other way to rescue Liu Xuande?" ”

Xun Yu smiled, "The lord doesn't want to?" Maybe ......"

When a few people heard this, they all understood, and when Cao Cao heard this, he thought for a moment, and then he still asked: "Wen Ruo, Gongda, and Zhongde, what do you say, how should it be better?" ”

Obviously, Cao Cao handed over the decision to the three of them for the time being, at least at this moment, he didn't think about how to do it.

Xun Yu didn't speak, but Xun Yu spoke, "Lord, from the perspective of my subordinates, you can give it a try if you say what Wen Ruo said, and now the situation of our army is so better!" ”——

After Cao Cao heard Xun You finish speaking, he didn't have any expression, and he didn't say much, but he looked at Cheng Yu, at this time Cheng Yu understood that his lord was letting him speak, so he gritted his teeth, and then said: "Lord, his subordinates seconded it!" ”

Obviously, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu all agreed to do this, and Cao Cao saw that all three agreed, so this matter can only be like this. Didn't I say I didn't agree, originally, wasn't the original arrangement just for the future? At this time, it's earlier than you think, but as long as it can work, then it's better than anything else, isn't it?

Cao Cao is a person who makes decisions on the spot, but he is not like Yuan Shao, he is scheming and indecisive, he feels that everything is right and everything makes sense, but in the end, it is difficult to decide anything. Of course, this can also be said that Cao Cao's people have made decisions for him, and there are many times when they are consistent, which is good. (To be continued......)
