Volume 1 Descendants of the Dream Chapter 45 Pain
Seeing Cao Cao's arrangement, Jia Xu didn't speak. Regardless of whether Zhang Lu's surrender was true or not, as long as Cao Cao stayed in the camp, his safety was first guaranteed. The strength of Hanzhong is only 40,000 at most, but Xiahou Yuan has 60,000 soldiers in hand, so there should be no problem whether he advances or retreats.
Then Cao Cao began his tear-jerking verbal offensive, and after he moved him with affection and understood it for half an hour, he finally let Zhao Yun go contentedly.
"Come on, take General Zhao down to rest!"
Zhao Yun knew before he came that he would definitely not be able to leave tonight, so he calmly accepted the military tent arranged for him by Cao Cao. Soon after Zhao Yun entered the military tent, he snored loudly, apparently asleep, and the people who were spying on him finally relieved themselves to report to Cao Cao.
"Wenhe (Jia Xuzi), do you still have doubts?" Cao Cao waved his hand and retreated from the soldiers who had come to report Zhao Yun's situation, he had been on the road for a day, and now he was also feeling very sleepy.
"The lord will go back to the tent to rest first, let me think for a moment, and if there is anything wrong, then report it to the lord!"
Jia Xu looked at the sky, it was almost time, so he decided to leave it alone to think carefully. As a qualified military advisor with professional qualities, it is necessary to understand the strategic intentions of the enemy, so that the battle situation can be controlled by one's own side. He always felt that all this was too sudden, too smooth, if Hanzhong had decided to surrender a long time ago, why did he still stop General Xiahou at Yangping Pass? Could it be that they were afraid that General Xiahou would not accept their surrender? That's why they resorted to all kinds of delaying tactics, until Cao Gong appeared, and then sent someone to ask for surrender?
No, during the battle of Yangping Pass, if Hanzhong wanted to surrender, it should have sent someone to contact General Xiahou long ago. However, they didn't try it once, but instead used all their tactics to defeat Xiahou Yuan. After this battle, the number of our soldiers killed and wounded was close to 30,000, and they abandoned the Yangping Pass, so we had to stay behind 10,000 soldiers. As a result, the total number of our troops has changed from 200,000 to 160,000, which is already a significant loss if you calculate carefully. There's got to be a problem, there's definitely a problem, but he can't figure it out. Jia Xu's heart was in turmoil, and he unconsciously walked out of the big tent and wandered alone in the barracks.
Cao Cao was just about to enter the account to rest, but when he saw the strange expression of the guard outside the tent, he couldn't help but scold loudly:
"Why are you acting like that?"
When the guards heard Cao Cao's reprimand, they directly knelt in fright.
"Lord, no, nothing, only, just now the messenger of Hanzhong sent you two large boxes of gifts, I vaguely heard movement in the box outside the tent, like, like ......"
"Like what?" Cao Cao was quite annoyed when he saw the guards talking in a hurry.
"It's like a woman's voice!"
The guards finally had the audacity to say the last words. When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He hurriedly coughed lightly, revealing a serious look.
"Those are just two boxes of treasures and calligraphy and paintings sent by Hanzhong, you must have been running around for days and days, and you were too tired so you heard it wrong. I don't need you to stand guard tonight, and go back to rest! ”
"No!" The guard was overjoyed, and he ran back to his tent to sleep with joy, regardless of what was in his box.
Cao Cao entered the tent, and sure enough, he saw two large boxes, he quickly opened the boxes, and saw two young women who were as thin as sand and looked exactly the same, facing him with eyebrows.
"My lord, why did you come back, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time!"
The sudden tactful and arrogant groan made Cao Cao swallow his saliva. He had seen a lot of women, and it was the first time that such stunning twins had been born. The two identical transparent bodies wrapped around him, and the appearance of Ren Jun picking suddenly made the flame in Cao Cao's heart rise to the top. In the exclamation of the two women, Cao Cao hugged left and right and ran to the bed!
Jia Xu pondered the problems of Hanzhong in the camp, and unknowingly came to Cao Cao's camp. When he saw that it was dark in the tent, he thought that Cao Cao had fallen asleep, so he planned to turn around and leave. However, the moment he turned around, he seemed to hear a strange sound coming from inside the tent. He couldn't help but approach the tent and listen carefully, and after a moment he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted into the tent:
"My lord, my subordinates learned of Zhang Lu's treacherous plan, and I came to report it!"
Cao Cao was on the rise, when he suddenly heard Jia Xu's shout from outside the tent, which frightened him and made him tremble, and he couldn't care about the two little goblins beside him, so he hurriedly put on his coat and walked out.
"Strategist, you haven't slept so late, hehe!" Cao Cao felt very embarrassed when he saw that he was broken by Jia Xu, and suddenly felt like he was caught in bed.
Jia Xu is also a person who understands, he knows best what to say and what not to say, at this moment he can only skip the fragrant plot in Cao Cao's tent and go straight to the point.
"Lord, my subordinates think that Zhang Lu has no intention of surrendering, I'm afraid that General Xiahou will be in danger here!"
"Why did the military advisor say this!" Cao Cao was thinking about sending Jia Xu away quickly, and continued to go back to linger with the twins in the tent, so he didn't have time to listen to Jia Xu's words carefully.
"When General Xiahou attacked Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu had no intention of surrendering. As soon as we arrived in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu sent someone to ask for surrender, which was too contrasting. Therefore, his subordinates think that Zhang Lu is definitely not well-intentioned! Jia Xu still didn't understand Zhang Lu's specific plan, he just knew that this must be a game, especially when he found out that there was a woman in Cao Cao's tent, he was even more sure of this speculation!
Cao Cao saw that Jia Xu had just said that it was just his own conjecture for a long time, and soon he lost interest in listening to it anymore, he patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, and then showed a concerned look.
"Wenhe, you've worked hard these days, go back and rest first, and talk about it tomorrow."
Cao Cao said, turned around and was about to go back to the tent, but was pulled by Jia Xu. At that moment, Jia Xu was also shocked, he has always paid attention to survival and self-preservation, but he didn't expect him to make such an outrageous move tonight. But the matter has come to this point, and Jia Xu can only continue to suggest stubbornly.
"Lord, do you remember the battle of Wancheng?"
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao's face changed instantly, in the battle of Wancheng, he killed his eldest son Cao Ang because of his greed for beauty, and his confidant Dian Wei died in battle, which was the biggest pain in his life, and it was better than the fiasco of the Battle of Chibi. However, the person who caused him this pain was Jia Xu in front of him.
Jia Xu served under Zhang Xiu in Wancheng back then, and it was the strategy he gave Zhang Xiu that caused Cao Cao to suffer all his life. The war was cruel, and each was its own master back then, so Cao Cao didn't hate Jia Xu for killing his son and beloved general, and finally Cao Cao calmly accepted the surrender of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. It's just that now it was mentioned by Jia Xu himself, and the anger that Cao Cao had suppressed for many years in his heart finally couldn't help but explode.
"So you Jia Xu think, tonight my Cao Cao will fail again because of lust? Hum! If I don't enter Hanzhong City, how can he bear me even if he surrenders? ”
Cao Cao said, ignored Jia Xu, turned around and entered the tent.
"Lord, lord, what if the object of Zhang Lu's plot tonight is not you, but General Xiahou?"
Jia Xu shouted again into the tent, but the sound of a woman's moans came from inside. He sighed, took three steps back, gave a long swipe at the tent, and then turned away.
