Chapter 653: Arrival (Plus 5)
Xu Chu went to convey Cao Cao's order, and after a short time, Xi Zhicai came to Cao Cao's camp. (ďź
Xi Zhicai respectfully bowed to Cao Cao, and then lifted his robe and sat down.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Zhicai, Zhongkang said that Wang Can sent an envoy and was rushing to the camp. At this time, Wang Can's envoy team should be ten miles away, and it will not be long before it will arrive at the camp. â
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai became vigilant.
He twisted his short beard under his chin and said, "Lord, I'm afraid it's really unkind!" â
Cao Cao asked, "What is Zhicai's opinion?" â
Xi Zhicai said: "In the past, Wang Can and the lord rushed to Chang'an, and their purpose was to take Chang'an and control the Son of Heaven. Now that the lord has the Son of Heaven in his hands, Wang Can can't snatch it back, he must only find other ways, and he guesses that Wang Can sent an envoy to come this time for the Son of Heaven. â
Cao Cao said: "Wang Can is not ambitious, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch me control the Son of Heaven." â
Xi Zhicai asked, "Lord, did General Xu say who is the envoy?" â
Cao Cao shook his head and said: "That's not true, I'll ask Zhong Kang to bring the Yizhou soldiers who came to report the news, and ask about it, since it is an envoy sent by Wang Can, we can only do things after we know the roots." â
Xi Zhicai hugged his fists and said: "The lord is wise! â
Cao Cao laughed, and immediately called Xu Chu in and asked Xu Chu to bring the soldiers who reported the news.
After the soldiers entered the camp tent, they were neither humble nor arrogant, saluted Cao Cao, and then stood in the camp tent without speaking. At this time, he was one of the ten wolf tooth soldiers brought by Lu Meng, and he was the one who knew Lu Meng's identity, and not only that, but he had a lot to do with Lu Meng.
Cao Cao saw that the soldier's expression was calm, and his face showed surprise.
An ordinary soldier was neither humble nor arrogant, and had courage, which surprised Cao Cao.
In fact, although the prestige of this person under Lu Meng's command is not as good as that of Dian Man and Huang Xu, he is also famous.
This person is none other than the famous thorny Zhang Hu, and he is also a person who can talk to Wang Can. This guy is a big thief, but he is afraid of Lu Meng, after Dian Man and Huang Xu joined, he added two more people he was afraid of, and he was also in awe of Dian Man and Huang Xu, after all, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion all worship the strong, and Lu Meng, Dian Man and Huang Xu are powerful in martial arts, which makes the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion admire.
Seeing this, Cao Cao had the intention to beat the soldiers, and shouted in a deep voice: "What's your name?" â
Zhang Hu raised his head and said, "Zhang Hu! â
After Cao Cao heard this, the dark Taoist looked good, his courage was good, and his name was bold enough.
He had a smile on his face, but it seemed to be a sneer, and said: "Zhang Hu, do you know that Huang Zhong cut off the arm of my general Xiahoudun, Zhao Yun injured my general Xu Chu, and Wang Can also imprisoned Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren. â
"Skills are not as good as people, it's all nonsense!"
Zhang Hu said coolly, with a look of disdain.
Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed angrily and said, "Okay, good, you are the first person who dares to speak like this, just at your words, you should be beheaded." â
Zhang Hu snorted and said, "The two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill them, what kind of ability is it to bully my small soldier?" â
"Hahaha......"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, feeling that the kid in front of him didn't know if he was really bold or pretended. But no matter what, there are really few people who can speak so unscrupulously in front of him! Cao Cao saw that he couldn't frighten Zhang Hu, and he didn't go around in circles, so he asked directly: "Zhang Hu, let me ask you, who is the envoy on the mission?" What is the purpose? â
Zhang Hu asked rhetorically: "Seeing that you are not confident enough to ask like this, you actually asked me to inquire about the situation, I am a small soldier, what do you know?" Our adults said that you are a Yanzhou pastor, and you will not kill me as a little soldier. â
He held his head high, thinking about Lu Meng's words all the time.
Be bold and be able to keep it secret!
Zhang Hu has been doing what Lu Meng said, although cold sweat has broken out on his back, he still remains calm and does not show the slightest flaw.
Cao Cao saw that Zhang Hu was simply a thorn, and when he heard Zhang Hu's last words, he was even more angry.
What is this, is it a trap for him?
Cao Cao wanted to interrogate, but he couldn't move the punishment. After all, Zhang Hu was a soldier sent by Wang Can, and he couldn't be tossed at will. Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai, expecting Xi Zhicai to ask.
Xi Zhicai sneered twice and sneered: "Isn't it just an envoy? Are you afraid that we will know who the envoy sent by Wang Can is? If he was worried that others would know his name, why did Wang Can send envoys? A person who doesn't even dare to say his name, I don't think there's any need to talk. â
When Zhang Hu heard this, he seemed to be very anxious, and said: "What is there to be afraid of, our chief envoy is named Lu Meng, and the deputy envoy is named Huang Xu, who is a little-known civilian official in the army. If you send General Zhao and General Huang, won't you be frightened? Two civil servants came to negotiate, enough is enough! â
This sentence was ordered by Lu Meng a long time ago.
In fact, this is also thanks to Lu Meng who visited Jia Xu, Li Ru and Guo Jia.
The three of them asked LĂź Meng to change his side to become a civilian official, and in order to let all the soldiers know, LĂź Meng deliberately let the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion under his command remember his current identity. Now, LĂź Meng is not the commander of the Wolf Tooth Battalion, but just a little-known minor civil official, so that it is easier to achieve his goal.
Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and he waved his hand to send Zhang Hu away.
After Zhang Hu left, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, "Zhicai, what do you think?" â
Xi Zhicai said: "Regardless of whether Zhang Hu's words are true or not, it is estimated that Wang Can has been prepared for a long time, and he did not plan to send important civil and military generals to come, but deliberately sent insignificant people, just to convey Wang Can's meaning. â
After Cao Cao heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, this is reasonable, but you have to be careful!" â
After a pause, Cao Cao said again: "Since the insignificance of the Wang Can send, there is no need to put them aside, and when they arrive, just go directly to the camp." â
Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "Lord, it's better to put it aside and scare them to make it easier to ask." â
Cao Cao did not object to Xi Zhicai's suggestion and proceeded according to the original plan.
About an hour later, the team led by Lu Meng arrived.
However, as soon as he arrived at Cao Cao's camp, Xu Chu led people to take LĂź Meng, Huang Xu, Dian Man and others to a camp tent and put them aside, ignoring LĂź Meng.
In this regard, Lu Meng had already prepared in his heart.
Just when LĂź Meng and others arrived, Xiahoudun also got the news, he learned that Wang Can sent an envoy, and he was about to kill him immediately, but fortunately Cao Cao issued an order to let Xiahoudun continue to recuperate from his injuries and not be allowed to leave the camp, so the incident was calmed down. As for Cao Hong, although he hated Wang Can, he did not take action against the envoys sent by Wang Can.
In the tent, Lu Meng sat quietly, his expression calm, without any panic.
LĂź Meng was like this, and the rest of the soldiers also settled down.
The group, without the restless soldiers, all quietly stayed in the camp tent and talked quietly. LĂź Meng found Zhang Hu and asked him about the situation, learned about Cao Cao, and prepared to meet Cao Cao.
With a general understanding, Lu Meng can know it in his heart.
