Chapter 321: Epistle (1)

Although Xiahou Dun's surname is Xiahou, he has the same blood in his body as Cao Cao, so it can be said that the two of them are originally a family and brothers.

When Cao Cao first raised his troops, the troops in his hands were insufficient, and he often lost battles, and he had been helping him silently stationed in the rear, and the person who silently helped was Xiahoudun, but Xiahoudun was so badly injured at the moment, if it was said that Cao Cao had no resentment at all, it was absolutely false.

In fact, the plan this time has been very thorough, Dian Wei, Xu Chu Lejin and Xiahou Yuan and the four of them went together to drag Lu Bu's pace, Lu Bu should not be able to run away.

Cao Cao also expected that when Cao Xuan heard that Lu Bu was under siege, he would definitely send troops to rescue, so he specially arranged for Xiahou Xuan to wait for Cao Xing.

However, he couldn't imagine that he would be killed, it would evolve like this, no one could care about anyone in the chaotic army, so he could only fight everywhere, Cao Xuan just shot Xiahou Xuan's eyes with an arrow in his hand.

Xiahou Yuan, who was angry, also ignored the obstruction of his own soldiers, and directly raised his knife to kill Cao Xing. Originally, with Xiahou Xuan's martial arts, it was also very easy to kill Cao Xing, Cao Xing's martial arts were not high, and he was not a very talented person, so it was logical that he would definitely die, who knew that Cao Xuan had really reversed.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao wanted to get angry, but he finally took two deep breaths and didn't show it, but at this moment the person behind him spoke.

"Lord, calm your anger, General Xiahou is so seriously injured, I am also ashamed, after I go back, I will definitely personally come to the door to apologize to General Xiahou, but now is not the time for us to blame ourselves, but we should think about what to do next, because only by defeating Cao Xing can we avenge General Xiahou!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao also completely suppressed the anger in his heart, and he looked back at Xi Zhicai and nodded with satisfaction.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai sat down separately, first of all, Cao Cao first reviewed his own mistakes, he was indeed too eager for quick success and quick profit, Cao Xian came to this point, how could he be killed so easily.

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he shook his head and said to Cao Cao, in fact, this is not Cao Cao's fault, no one thought that Cao Xing's life was so big, and at the most critical moment, he actually broke through to the point of the early stage of the sevenfold martial arts, and Xiahoudun was only at the point of the late stage of the sevenfold martial arts, only such a heavy realm was missing, plus Xiahoudun's eye was injured, so that Cao Xuan turned defeat into victory.

In the end, Xi Zhicai can only summarize, this may be the will of heaven, Cao's life should not be extinguished, no matter how strange the plan, Cao Xing cannot be killed. Therefore, Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao retreat to the next best thing.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but he didn't seem to understand what Xi Zhicai meant, but Xi Zhicai smiled and said.

"Lord, now in the seven counties of Chaoge, our army occupies four, and Cao Xing they occupy three, Cao Xuan has 30,000 soldiers in his hands, and our army has 40,000, no matter from which point of view, our army has an advantage over Cao Xing, but it has been fighting for a month without any results, but our army has lost a little more, the reason is only because Cao Xing has Lu Bu on his side!"

When Xi Zhicai said this, Cao Cao also reacted immediately, thinking about it, the fighting generals a month ago could give Cao Cao a big advantage on their side, but a Lu Bu ran out and messed up everything, so the reason why Cao Cao had a headache was because of Cao Xing, and the other reason was because of Lu Bu.

"Zhicai, I understand what you mean, but Lu Bu is the general of the tiger and wolf, and I have also asked the tiger idiot and the evil man, among which the evil came to tell me that if his martial arts want to catch up with Lu Bu, it may take seven or eight years of training, and I really can't find someone who can completely defeat Lu Bu in a short time!"

However, Xi Zhicai smiled when he heard this, and then shook his head: "Lord, we really can't defeat Lu Bu on the bright side, but we can use a little other method!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his eyes began to get brighter and brighter, and in the end, he and Xi Zhicai actually looked at each other and smiled, as if they thought of the same place.

In that battle, Cao Xuan injured Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun was seriously injured, although Cao Xing broke through and got rid of the fate in history, but I have to say that the battle had a very great impact on both Cao Cao and Cao Xing, both sides were very tired and needed a period of time to recuperate, so both sides did not move in this half month.

On this day, Cao Xingben started his daily military meeting in a hurry, Cao Xing's generals Wei Yan, Chen Hu and others were all present, and Jia Xu was also sitting next to him, of course, Lu Bu, who was the strongest in martial arts, could not be excluded, although Lu Bu's identity was somewhat special, and he was not under Cao Xing's jurisdiction, but this time he was here to help Cao Xing.

And after the last incident, Cao Xing did not hold Lu Bu responsible, and Lu Bu was also guilty, so he completely stopped, anyway, now there is no Cao Xing's military order, and he will never dare to rely on his prestige to ask others for soldiers and horses.

But just as the meeting was in session, a scout suddenly came to report.

I saw that after the scout walked in, he first saluted Cao Xuan with his fists, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Xing: "Lord, this is a letter sent by Cao Cao!" ”

"Oh, has this Cao Mengde recovered so quickly!" Cao Xing didn't think much about it, he took the letter directly in his hand, and then read the contents of it, but the more Cao Xing looked at it, the more suspicious he became.

Originally, Cao Xing thought that this was a war letter, like the two armies fighting and having letters, that is actually a very normal thing, for example, tomorrow is a good day, the generals of both sides exchange letters, and decide to have a battle tomorrow, this can be regarded as a kind of yang strategy, and it is also a commonly used method in military warfare.

Therefore, Cao Xing subconsciously thought that this was Cao Cao's war letter to him, after all, so much time had passed, but what Cao Xuan didn't expect was that he read the letter completely from beginning to end, and as a result, in the end, Cao Xing didn't see Cao Cao's intention to fight, and Cao Cao actually started a family affair with Cao Xing throughout the letter.

For example, Cao Cao's first sentence asked that Cao Xing's current health is good.

Looking at this letter, Cao Xing was very puzzled, but this was not military intelligence, and Cao Xuan didn't bother to show it to the generals, so he put it away directly, and then continued to discuss the military with many generals.

However, on the second and third days, Cao Cao's letters came one after another, and the content of each letter had nothing to do with the war, it was some common topics, as if Cao Cao had forgotten the war, and he and Cao Xing were now friends who had not seen each other for many years.

On this day, another letter was sent to Cao Xing's hand, Cao Xuan was not impatient, opened it again, smiled, and stuffed it into his arms again, but what Cao Xuan didn't find was that the generals below, although most people were puzzled, but there were two people whose expressions were very abnormal.

First of all, Jia Xu forgot the letter in Cao Xing's hand, and stood in place without speaking, followed by Lu Bu, Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing's brows and frowned, and wanted to ask something, but the words finally swallowed back when they came to their mouths.

When this military meeting ended, all the generals went back, but Lu Bu stayed, Lu Bu looked at Cao Xing and asked directly, what did Cao Cao write in the letter?

However, Cao Xing laughed, laughing and saying that it was nothing, let Lu Bu not be careful, just go back and have a good rest, no matter what Lu Bu said, Cao Xuan was unwilling to take it out, and in the end Lu Bu could only walk back suspiciously.

After that, Jia Xu came out of the screen behind the big tent, and he watched Cao Xing report a punch.

And the smile on Cao Xing's face was immediately put away, he forgot to glance at Jia Xu and said, "Where is Che Wu now!" ”

During this period when there was no war, Cao Cao did the same thing as Cao Xing, holding a military meeting every day, but on this day, Cao Cao did not end his military meeting, and directly asked everyone to wait here, and it didn't take long for him to wait. I saw a scout hurriedly run into the military tent, the scout looked at so many people in the military tent, and seemed to not know how to speak, while Cao Cao smiled indifferently and waved to the scout.

"You don't have to be so careful, all the people present today are my henchmen, if there is any movement on Cao Xing's side, tell me the truth!"

Since Cao Cao said so, the scout was not so worried, I saw him arch his hand to Cao Cao, and then said.

"Lord, the spies we planted in Cao Xing's military camp reported back that today he saw Lu Bu outside with his own eyes, and walked out of Cao Xing's military camp with an indignant face, and this situation has lasted for many days, it is said that Lu Bu's heart has been very dissatisfied, and he also heard Lu Bu's tantrum from Lu Bu's military tent from time to time, it is obvious that the gap between Cao and Lu Bu has come out!"

Cao Cao applauded when he heard this, and the drama next to him also laughed. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the divisive strategy used by Xi Zhicai, knowing that Cao and Lu Bu have a good relationship, since this is the case, they will destroy the relationship between the two of them, as long as Lu Bu leaves, I believe that it will be much easier to deal with a Cao Xing.

However, at this moment, another scout suddenly hurried in, only to see that the scout also held a letter and handed it to Cao Cao.

"Lord, this is a letter from Cao Xing, please take a look!"
