Chapter 60: Halfway to save Cao Cao

Xu Ding's marching speed was not fast, Yuan Shao was a little anxious, and urged the horse to come over and said: "Xu Fujun, can you march faster, so I don't know when I can get to Ruyang, Ruyang is in great danger, and I ask Fujun to pay attention to it." ”

Xu Ding said seriously: "At the beginning, the speed of our army was fast enough, after all, it was not cavalry, and it was impossible to reach Ruyang all at once. ”

Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and others also echoed Xu Ding.

Yuan Shao is very familiar with Cao Cao, he is a partner who has played since he was a child, and he still trusts the Cao family very much, and when he saw Cao Hong and others saying this, he didn't urge.

In this way, the army continued to hurry, and walked for another day, and at night, Xu Ding was ready to let the army rest, and tomorrow was on the road, when the front detective came back and reported: "Fujun! The Yellow Turban bandits were found ahead, and the thief army was besieging a group of Han troops from the north. ”

Xu Ding asked people to find Yuan Shao and asked, "Originally, where is the front?" How far is it from Ruyang? ”

Yuan Shao said: "In front of Xihua City, there are still forty or fifty miles away from Ruyang City. ”

"In this way, the yellow turban here is not the main force of Peng Tuo, and the people who encountered them are not the main force of the army of General Huangfu and General Zhu." After Xu Ding finished analyzing, he drew his sword and said: "The whole army will assault and assist the besieged Han army." ”

The whole army lined up, then ran at full speed, and soon saw the two sides of the war.

"Kill!"

Xu Ding put his sword back into the sheath, waved his iron spear and smashed into the enemy's army, followed closely behind by Dian Wei and others, killing and killing, tearing the rear of the yellow scarf at once.

After several rushes and killings, the Yellow Turban Army was killed in scattered pieces and fled one after another.

"Thank you guys, if it weren't for you, Cao Cao would have died here." Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and ran away, the general of the friendly army urged his horse to come over and thank.

Xu Ding was stunned, he didn't expect that what he saved was this army that turned out to be Cao Cao's troops.

Cao Hong and Xiahoudun's faces suddenly showed joy.

But the first person to reply was Yuan Shao, who saw him laughing, stepped forward with his sword and said, "Hahaha...... Meng De didn't expect it to be you, I really didn't expect it. ”

Cao Cao saw that it was Yuan Shao, and he was also overjoyed: "It turned out to be the beginning, it is so grateful to the beginning, if you weren't in a hurry, now I would be a headless corpse." ”

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Cao Hong and Xiahoudun stepped forward to ask Hou, and Cao Cao was even more surprised when he found the two, but a trace of doubt flashed on his face.

Aren't the two of them in Qian County?

How could he be mixed up with Yuan Shao.

Why don't you say that Cao Cao is a suspicious person!

After all, Yuan Shao is a person from a great family, and he is naturally a little exquisite, so he took the initiative to give his birth to Cao Cao, and explained: "Meng De will introduce to you, this one is Xu Fujun of Donglai County, and your two younger brothers have followed him to kill the enemy in the army. ”

Cao Hong and Xiahoudun both said: "Big brother, this is our Bokang from the same county, this army was brought by him from Donglai, and he helped us solve the crisis in Jiao County not long ago." ”

Cao Cao's face showed surprise when he heard this, and at the same time, his eyes flashed with fine light.

Xu Ding knew that there was a celebrity in his hometown, and he had heard of it, not to mention that the Cao family later wrote to him to tell him that the Cao family had a good relationship with the Xu family.

Xu Ding looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao himself was not good-looking, small and short, not outstanding at all in appearance, and even ugly.

But as the old saying goes, people can't look good, Cao Cao's talent is obviously inversely proportional to his appearance, it is simply Ma Yun of the Three Kingdoms.

"You are Cao Mengde, I have heard a lot, I don't want to see you here, it's really where you don't meet in life, it's interesting and interesting!" Xu Ding opened his mouth and said.

Life is so unpredictable, and a mistake actually saved Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled and said: "I have only heard of Bokang's name before, and I have admired it with my scriptures, but now when I see it, Bokang's talent is really unmatched, and I have thanked Bokang for his great kindness." ”

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Meng De doesn't have to be polite, you and I Cao Xu are neighbors, they have friendship with each other, and they will know each other, and it is common to help each other, not to mention that they are also the court, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and for the sake of the people, why do you need to say thank you." ”

"Hahaha, Bokang is refreshing, let's go, let's drink and talk happily today, we must have drunk it happily." Cao Cao's affection for Xu Ding increased greatly, and Xu Ding's words were too much for his appetite.

The crowd was not hypocritical, gathered the soldiers and horses, and then entered Xihua City.

There are a lot of materials in the city, and the drinks are enough, to celebrate, Cao Cao listened to Xu Ding's achievements along the way, nodded in admiration and envy.

"So, with Bokang, I can lie down and get military merits." Cao Cao made a joke, and then said:

"There's one thing I want to say, but I'm embarrassed."

Xu Dingmi looked at it, raised his glass and said: "Since Meng De is embarrassed, it's best not to say it, after all, the army brought by Meng De is the northern army of the imperial court, and it is easy to make an uneasy decision in the army, so it is not as free as my Donglai County soldiers." ”

"Bo Kang reminded me that it was Meng Lang."

It turned out that Cao Cao wanted to transfer Cao Hong and Xiahoudun to his subordinates to lead the battle, so that his troops would also have fierce generals available.

However, as Xu Ding said, the troops he brought were standard troops set by the imperial court a long time ago, and indiscriminately adding cronies was easy to cause dissatisfaction in the army.

Xu Ding's Donglai troops are dominated by Xu Ding, he holds the ownership, can be regarded as a semi-private arm, and can recruit soldiers at will.

"By the way, Mengde, why are you here?" Xu Ding asked with some curiosity.

Other people were also puzzled, why did Cao Cao come to Xihua City.

It stands to reason that he came out of Luoyang to support Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

When he mentioned this, Cao Cao sighed:

"Bokang, you don't know, I was ordered to support the Changshe, but as soon as I entered Yingchuan, I received the news of a big victory.

By the time I arrived at Changshe, the two generals had already led their troops south to attack Zhaoling, and then I received an order from General Huangfu to flank Xihua from the eastern front.

I didn't expect to be surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army as soon as I arrived in Xihua City, but fortunately you showed up in time, otherwise everything would be over. ”

"I see, so the main force of Peng Tuo's Yellow Turban Army should not have attacked Ruyang, but instead fought a decisive battle with the main force of the imperial army." Xu Ding learned something about it.

However, Cao Cao continued: "The situation of the Yellow Turban Thieves is not clear, I don't know if they all went to Zhaoling. ”

Yuan Shaosheng was afraid that Xu Ding would change the direction of the march, so he hurriedly said:

"In that case, let's go to Ruyang first tomorrow, solve the danger of Ruyang, and go to Zhaoling in the Xingxing Circle, so that the main force of the Yellow Turban can be surrounded."

Cao Cao looked at Xu Ding, Xu Ding's troops had combat effectiveness, and he must act with Xu Ding, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be the opponent of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu Ding thought for a while, and said half-jokingly: "It's feasible, let's go to Ruyang first, I originally came to help Ruyang, if I change the route halfway, I'm afraid I won't agree to it at the beginning, and I won't be able to get 100 million yuan for sending troops." ”

Cao Cao laughed, and Yuan Shao also chuckled with a hint of embarrassment.

Xu Ding reminded him to remember to pay, otherwise he would publicize it widely and let everyone in the world know.

At that time, the reputation of the Yuan family will inevitably plummet!
