Chapter 299: Secret Mission
In this regard, Huaxing is really grateful and surprised, and the mood is also extremely excited.
If it weren't for everyone in front of him, he really wanted to run forward at that time and give Xiahou Yuan a big hug to show the gratitude in his heart......
As for Zhang Liao and others, they are all happy at the moment.
Although at the beginning, because of Huaxing's actions, they lost the opportunity to form an alliance, everyone was a little frustrated.
But later, it was precisely because of Huaxing's selflessness that he infected Xiahou Yuan and others, and took this covenant back.
So inside and out, Huaxing can be regarded as making up for his merits, and everyone no longer complains about him.
There was talk and laughter along the way, and slowly walked towards the barracks with the moonlight......
More than an hour later, Hua Xing and the others returned to their camp.
Zhang Liao was just about to enter the account to rest, but was called to the military tent by Huaxing, saying that he had something important to discuss.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhang Liao asking with a confused face:
"Master, what's the matter? Our alliance has also been formed, and the Holy One has also been released, so isn't it left to go home and rest? ”
"Hehe, you are in such a hurry to go home, do you have a daughter-in-law waiting for you at home?"
After shaking his head and making a joke, he heard Huaxing suddenly lower his voice and said to Zhang Liao mysteriously:
"I called you, of course, for something important. You wait and call Zhao Yun and Lin Qi, and then order a hundred elite soldiers, and we will set off in half an hour! ”
"Huh? Is it really important? What's going on? ”
"Well, I'll tell you on the way, you go and arrange the soldiers first. Remember! This operation must be kept secret throughout the process. When selecting soldiers, also pick some trustworthy veterans, and don't leak the rumors. ”
Seeing that Huaxing not only had to keep his actions secret, but even the selection of soldiers had strict requirements, Zhang Liao subconsciously frowned and opened his mouth to guess:
"Master, you are so mysterious, you can't be going to do something bad, right?"
"Hehe, is it good or bad...... You'll find out later, go ahead and arrange it! By the way, by the way, call Tang Sheng to me again. ”
Seeing that Huaxing still refused to explain the reason, Zhang Liao had no choice but to give up the questioning and leave the military tent with doubts on his face......
A minute later, Tang Sheng, dressed in green clothes, appeared in the Huaxing tent.
Without waiting for him to ask, he heard Huaxing say bluntly:
"I'm going to take a hundred or so brothers out on a secret mission later, and I'll be back in a day or two at most. You'll have to cover for us and never let anyone notice our whereabouts. ”
"Huh? Secret mission? As soon as he entered the house, Tang Sheng was blinded by the other party.
"That's right! I'll tell you more when I get back. You start by saying, can you do what I ask? ”
Hearing Hua Xing say this, Tang Sheng couldn't ask about the task in detail, so he could only turn his words back:
"Well, the soldiers are better to say, if anyone asks, I will send them to another village to buy food...... Only you, General, if someone comes looking for me, how shall I answer? ”
"Hey, it's not easy? Let's just say that I am infected with wind and cold, and I can't see anyone. Whatever happens, you block it for me first, and then tell me when I return. ”
"Okay, my subordinates will do it."
Nodding, Tang Sheng suddenly thought of something again, and opened his mouth to ask:
"Huh? By the way, during this time, will we stay here and wait for you, or will we go back to the village first? ”
Soon, I heard Huaxing shake his head and reply:
"Staying will only make people suspicious, you must go back to the village as usual, and set off early tomorrow morning!"
******
That night, in the city of Xuchang.
After Huaxing and the others left, Cao Cao, who was tired for a day, also planned to go back to the house to rest.
But as soon as he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw a man dressed as a civil official standing outside the door.
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Xun Yu who had just said goodbye. Cao Cao immediately stepped forward, twisted his eyebrows and asked:
"It's Wen Ruo? Looking for me? ”
bowed to Cao Cao, and listened to Xun Yu reply:
"Xun still has a few things that he doesn't know, so he came uninvited to ask the general for advice, and I hope the general will not be strange."
"Oh? There is still something that Wen Ruo can't guess? Hehe, it's really rare. ”
Although Cao Cao was tired, seeing that the other party was coming, it was not appropriate to drive him away at this moment. I had to invite Xun Yu, who came alone, into the house, and sat on a chair to talk:
"If there is anything I don't understand, even though the truth is."
Xun Yu also saw that Cao Cao was physically and mentally exhausted, in order to save time, he skipped the greetings directly, shook his cuffs lightly, and asked straight to the point:
"There are two things that are not clear. First, his subordinates had already seen that the general intended to form an alliance with Huaxing. I can guess one or two reasons for this, and I also support the general's decision. But what I don't understand is that since the general has the intention of forming an alliance, why didn't he agree to the other party within Xu Tian's military tent, but he had to return to Xuchang to achieve this? ”
"Oh, that's what you say...... Hehe, you guessed it, I did have an alliance before. ”
After nodding his head to confirm Xun Yu's guess, he heard Cao Cao twist his beard and say:
"However, an intentional alliance does not mean that you have to agree on the spot, especially when you are imprisoned, Cao will never sign this contract with him!"
As soon as these words came out, I saw Xun Yu's eyes light up, and he seemed to think of something:
"Oh? Could it be ...... Are you worried that if you sign a contract in Xutian, it will make the covenant sour? ”
"That's right! If this contract is signed in Xu Tian, on the one hand, it will make people feel that the status of the two parties is unequal, which is not conducive to the future; On the other hand, after the generals in the army learned about it, most of them would think that this was an alliance signed by our army out of desperation, and not to mention that it would damage the prestige of the army, and the generals would not take it seriously. So even if I want to sign a contract, it can't be done in Xu Tian. ”
"Oh, I see." Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"Of course, in addition to that, I also want to take the opportunity to test the abilities of our future allies!" Speaking of this, I saw a faint smile suddenly cross Cao Cao's face:
"People say that Huaxing is brave and strategic, how powerful, but I have never seen it in person. Therefore, I really want to test this person to see if he has the courage to come to Xuchang to see him. After coming, do you have the ability to resolve this crisis! ”
As soon as the words fell, Xun Yu, who was sitting opposite, took a long breath, nodded and said:
"Oh, I see! It turns out that the test just now is not only a bet between you and the generals, but also the exam questions given by the general to Huaxing? ”
Seeing that Xun Yu guessed his intentions so quickly, Cao Cao immediately nodded and smiled:
"Exactly! If you want to ally with me Cao, it is by no means enough to be famous. If he doesn't dare to come to Xuchang, or if he is easily captured by us after coming, then I will definitely not form an alliance with him. However, judging from the competition just now, Huaxing and they really have some skills, relying only on the strength of four people, they can kill a hundred people, which can be regarded as completing this test of martial arts and mentality. ”
