Chapter 418: Detailed Discussion in the Accounts
Under Cao Cao's shouting, all the generals in the hall echoed and raised the wine glasses in their hands at Huaxing.
This grand celebration feast began at noon and did not come to an end until the sun set.
During this period, although Huaxing occasionally moved, he sat on his chair most of the time, chatting and drinking with the generals of the Chinese army.
At the beginning, Zhang Liao, Lu Lingqi and others were still a little emotional.
To think that the lord did not tell them the truth before is to distrust them.
But later, after listening to Huaxing's explanation and apologizing many times, the knot in the hearts of the generals was untied.
After a few glasses of wine, everyone's faces returned to their original smiles......
After the banquet was over, seeing that the people were almost gone, Huaxing got up from the chair.
was about to go back to the room to rest, but was pulled by Cao Cao and asked to accompany him to "go to the toilet".
Seeing that the other party's face was flushed, as if he had drunk a lot, Hua Xing helped Cao Cao to the toilet outside the meeting hall.
"Brother Hua, it is inconvenient to speak clearly in the hall just now. Actually, I brought you here because I wanted to ask about something. After entering the toilet, seeing that there was no one around, Cao Cao immediately returned to normal, and his drunkenness disappeared in an instant.
Huaxing, who was standing opposite, was surprised:
"Oh? What's the matter? Do you have to come here? β
"Well, Brother Wei wants to know, did Gao Shun and Yang Biao leave the city at your behest, or did they not know anything before?"
It is not unusual for Cao Cao to ask this question.
Because at the beginning, Gao Shun and Yang Biao's withdrawal of troops hit him hard, and he was extremely dissatisfied.
Although he won in the end, he still wanted to know if these two were acting in the first place, or if they really abandoned him.
But in front of everyone, Cao Cao will not ask easily.
In case the result is not satisfactory, it will inevitably hurt the harmony.
Therefore, he found an opportunity to bring Huaxing to the toilet and ask him face-to-face.
On this issue, Huaxing is of course well aware:
Gao Shun and Yang Biao left Xuchang before, and they were familiar with their personal wishes.
Huaxing stopped the two and persuaded them to come back on the way back to the city, and there was no talk of acting.
But for long-term considerations, after thinking about it, Huaxing still didn't tell Cao Cao the truth, but turned his head with a mysterious smile and replied:
"Hehe, aren't they all coming back to fight side by side with us? Why should Brother Cao be cranky? Hehe, let's go, it's so stinky here, if I stay any longer, I have to vomit......"
After speaking, Huaxing didn't give Cao Cao a chance to ask questions at all, escaped from the toilet with a smoke, and walked quickly towards Dong Bai and Diao Chan's courtyard.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Cao Cao invited the three commanders, Hua, Gao, and Yang, to the council hall to discuss the "sharing of spoils".
After this battle, the Xuchang coalition army can be said to have gained a lot: a total of more than 100,000 prisoners were captured, and more than 1,000 trucks of weapons, grain and grass.
In order to win people's hearts, Cao Cao was extremely generous, and when he came up, he proposed to divide it into four, one for each person.
The proposal was quickly approved.
Especially Gao Shun and Yang Biao, they really didn't expect Cao Cao to be so generous, and they all smiled.
After getting all the supplies, in the afternoon of the same day, the two of them led a long convoy to embark on a journey back to the city under the farewell of Hua and Cao......
After sending Gao and Yang away, Hua Xing first went back to the camp to find Hua Tuo and asked him to help look at the "gunshot wound" on his chest.
After a brief treatment, he returned to his military tent and ordered someone to summon Wu Fan into the tent.
Since showing his true face at the celebration banquet, Wu Fan has never worn a mask again.
As soon as she entered the account, she saluted Huaxing with a modern military salute, and said with a serious face:
"Wu Fan came to report! What are the captain's instructions? β
After seeing this familiar scene, Huaxing is heart warmed, and a real smile appeared on his face:
"Hehe, don't be so restrained, come, sit down and say. This time...... Thank you so much! β
"What do I have to work hard for? The most bitter person is still you, the Chinese team. Not only must he deal with the sinister Lu Pu, but he also has to help Cao Cao meet the enemy. Alas! If it were me, I really don't know how to deal with it......"
After sighing from the bottom of his heart, he heard Wu Fan say with a little curiosity:
"By the way, Captain, I would like to know how you came up with the plan to cheat your death? Also, when developing tactics, did you already anticipate how the enemy would move? β
"Hehe, do you really think I am Zhuge Liang?"
Hearing this, Hua Xing shook his head and explained:
"I just used the assassination to make Lu Pu mistakenly think that Cao's army was isolated, and finally used asymmetric 'intelligence' to catch the enemy off guard. To put it bluntly, it's just psychological warfare, not that I'm like a god. Most of the time, I also take it one step at a time. β
After finishing speaking, I saw Hua Xing wave his hand, and his voice changed:
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that, let's talk about you. Wu Fan, is it your real name or a pseudonym? How old are you this year? How did we meet? β
Although Wu Fan recognized Hua Xing on the day of the assassination, during this time, Hua Xing wanted to hide his whereabouts and think about strategies against the enemy, so he never had time to talk to Wu Fan in detail.
When he finally got free today, he planned to have a good chat with the other party.
"Oh, Wu Fan is my real name, twenty-four years old, three years younger than you. I was in the same class as you until you became the captain, and we've known each other for many years......"
Speaking of the past, Wu Fan lowered his head for some reason, and a little loss flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Huaxing was stunned.
After thinking about it for a long time, he asked tentatively:
"That...... Are we ordinary comrades-in-arms, or are we ...... Yes, a little bit of something else......"
Hearing Hua Xing's question, Wu Fan knew that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained:
"Team Hua, we didn't, we didn't...... That relationship. But it's not an ordinary comrade-in-arms, you are my senior brother, and we were both brought out by the same captain. β
As soon as he heard that it was the relationship between brother and sister, Hua Xing breathed a sigh of relief:
"Oh! Is that so? I thought it was ...... Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you really don't remember, don't mind! β
After smiling slightly awkwardly, Hua Xing asked again:
"Huh? Then who is our master, that is, the captain you are talking about? β
As soon as these words came out, I saw Wu Fan's eyes red with his head down, and tears fell unconsciously:
"He is, he is...... 5301 who have already died. β
β5301οΌ The man in black who stopped me twice? HeβHe's our master? β
"That's right! His name is Feng Guoen, and he is the former captain of Long Yan. However, due to his age, he gave up the position of captain many years ago, and you took over as the captain. Wu Fan choked up.
"No wonder his fighting moves are very similar to mine, it turns out that he is our master......"
Hearing this, Hua Xing couldn't help but have a sour nose, and a sad look welled up on his face.
"Last time in Lu Mansion, the master wanted to tell you the truth, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Lu Pu and died...... Fortunately, the Chinese team has avenged the master, otherwise the resentment in my heart will not be resolved for the rest of my life. β
Although it has been a long time, when he mentioned this matter, Wu Fan still gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger.
