Chapter 339: Return Journey
Cao Cao sat on the handsome chair, and Zhang Zhen sat sideways to accompany him. Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran walked in. Seeing Cao Cao and Zhang Zhen, Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran immediately knelt down and kowtowed, claiming to be a general. But what is embarrassing is that it is Zhang Zhen who kneels in Gao Ran, and it is Cao Cao who kneels in Chun Yuqiong. These same words gave two names, which raised the air of the entire tent to a critical point. Several Cao Jun officers had even quietly reached for the hilt of their swords.
Zhang Zhen and Cao Cao were very embarrassed by Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran. It's not to reach out and help each other, and it's not to help. Chun Yuqiong and Gao Ran are also complaining about each other in their hearts, making this kind of joke, even if they surrender one day, they will not be valued.
Xun Yu smiled: "The two generals, please get up, I invite you to come today because the lord has something to ask the two, and the two generals don't have to be formal." ”
Cao Cao hurriedly took Xun Yu's words: "Yes, yes, yes, come here, show the two generals to sit!" ”
Zhang Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, turning his head to look at Jia Xu behind him. Jia Xu is still the kind of person who doesn't care about the world. It's a good show today, see how Cao Cao ends.
Cao Cao said with a smile: "The two generals may know that Yuan Shao's army has been defeated by me, Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng, and now the two of them are besieged by our army and Mount Tai, I don't know what the two generals plan to do in the future?" ”
Chun Yuqiong immediately stood up and said: "Yuan Shao is scheming, he can't listen to his loyalty, and he will eventually be defeated this time if he insists on going his own way, and now he is at the end of his rope, please take him in." ”
"Hahaha......" Cao Cao laughed: "General Chun Yu is really a general, I used to hear that Yuan Shao has four great strategists, and Wu has Hebei Four Court Pillars, it's a pity!" Yuan Shao didn't know how to make good use of it, but he fled from the dead, and Chun Yu returned to my account as a general, so he really helped me! Hahahaha......! ”
"Thank you, Lord Gong, take it in!" Chun Yuqiong returned to her seat.
After asking Chun Yuqiong, Cao Cao said to Gao Ran again: "What are General Gao's plans, is he going to go back to the mountain to fight me again, or is he going to learn from General Chun Yu and be a handsome man who understands current affairs?" ”
Gao Ran thought for a while, glanced at Zhang Zhen, stood up and said: "Lord Cao, forgive me, since I let me meet General Zhang here, I have already passed, except for Yuan Shao, General Zhang is the second lord in my heart, and now that Yuan Shao has failed, I am willing to take refuge under General Zhang."
Gao Ran immediately knelt in front of Zhang Zhen, and without waiting for Zhang Zhen's reaction, he bowed his head and bowed: "Subordinate Gao Ran, meet the lord!" ”
The audience was in an uproar, this kind of way of being an official should be pasted up or the young cherry blossom in the world as a scholar, even if it is a military general, he always hopes that the lord can look at himself differently, and it is already good if he does not come to the door to invite himself, how can there be such a high view that the latter is hard-skinned.
Zhang Zhen also encountered this situation for the first time, and was a little stunned. Jia Xu hurriedly stabbed him gently. Zhang Zhen woke up like a dream, and hurriedly helped Gao Ran up: "General Gao is polite!" Hurry up, please! ”
Don't look at such two simple actions, this has already announced that Gao Ran is already Zhang Zhen's person. Cao Cao looked at Gao Ran with a dark face, angry and silent.
Xun Yu smiled: "Okay, well, the lord and General Zhang came to Mount Tai together, and they got a general together, which is really gratifying, this is exactly what it means, what it means!" ”
Since Gao Ran had already worshiped Zhang Zhen, Cao Cao didn't want to do anything more, suppressed the anger in his heart, glared at Gao Ran a few times, and said, "Congratulations to General Zhang, congratulations to General Zhang!" ”
"Rejoice, rejoice!" In the blink of an eye, the two went from enemies to brothers.
Cao Cao pulled Zhang Zhen over and said in a low voice: "Since you have won the general, then those elite soldiers and flying herons that Yuan Shao left in Mount Tai don't make up their minds, right?" ”
Zhang Zhen smiled: "This is good, good, I should give up, but Gao Ran took refuge with me, my cronies probably shouldn't stay in Meng De's military camp, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to Meng De in the future, do you think you should let General Gao take it away?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "This is natural, natural!" Hehehe! ”
Return to your tent. Jia Xu changed the normal state of not caring about himself, and said with a firm gaze: "Lord, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, today because of General Gao's matter, there are already many people in Cao's camp who have a list of intentions for the lord, so it's better for us to leave early!" ”
Zhang Zhen nodded: "I also found out, but the cluster is not suitable to stay for a long time, go and find the high cable!" ”
Gao Ran came in quickly, and without waiting for Gao Ran to speak, Zhang Zhen grabbed Gao Ran: "General Gao, you may have seen it today, I can't stay long, you don't want to stay any longer, you immediately go back to the camp account, find your old department, let them disperse and break through, and go to Jizhou Bohai, remember that this matter cannot be publicized, I will go to find Tian Feng when I arrive, I have my own arrangements!" ”
"No!" Gao Ran didn't ask anymore, and promised to turn around and leave.
Jia nodded: "This person is loyal, I look at this loyalty that Yu Qiong has never looked up to, congratulations to the lord!" ”
Early the next morning, the people sent by Cao Cao to find Zhang Zhen returned, but they only brought a letter. Cao Cao hadn't read the letter yet, Chun Yuqiong hurried over, knelt down and said, "Lord, it's not good, in the middle of last night, more than half of the soldiers disappeared, and I only found out this morning!" ”
"What?" Cao Cao was furious: "What's going on? ”
Chun Yuqiong said timidly: "Yesterday the lord drank too much at the banquet, and went back to sleep, and when I got up this morning, I found that the sergeants were less than half, and I didn't find anything when I looked around!" Please, the Lord punishes you! ”
Xun Yu asked, "Are those less chatty sergeants all Gao Lan's old department?" ”
Chun Yuqiong nodded hurriedly: "It's the old department of Gaolan!" ”
"Lord!" Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "If my guess is right, Zhang Zhen's letter is probably a farewell letter!" ”
Cao Cao opened the letter left by Zhang Zhen and took a look at it, and he smiled: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I was still scolded by Zhang Zhenyin!" Hahaha......! ”
……
In Youzhou's Thorn History Mansion, Yuan Xi took Yuan Tan's hand: "Big brother! Among my father's sons, you are the only one who still has soldiers and horses, but unfortunately my father is confused! Hearing that the news has come out from Yecheng, Yuan Shang is preparing to stand on his own while his father is seriously ill, Yuan Tan is already preparing to raise troops in Youzhou, brother, you can't watch Yuan Shanghu come! ”
Yuan Xi smiled faintly: "I don't have that heart now, this war has made me see clearly, I can't do anything about this dispute, I haven't retreated yet, I will fight first, it won't take a few months, Jizhou will change hands, and then my brother will go to the eldest brother's door to beg for food!" ”
Yuan Tan said with a smile: "Brother, if there is a mouthful of the eldest brother, you will have half a mouthful!" ”
"Brother Xie!" Yuan Xi immediately got up to give Yuan Tan a big salute. Yuan Tan hurriedly pulled it. Zhu Ling suddenly barged in and whispered a few words in Yuan Tan's ear. When I heard it, I laughed: "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go second brother, go with me to have a look!" ”
