Therefore, as soon as she returned to Xudu, Cao Lan killed a second-generation child of the Xiahou clan very easily.

The reason why he is unwilling to kill the children surnamed Cao, first, Cao Lan still can't bear it, after all, he hates people, such as Cao Hong, Cao Yu and Cao Ding, and even Cao Xiu, who are now in a high position in the Cao army, and he can't kill them, and the rest are the same Cao family sin as him, so he can't bear to let him kill such a person with the same surname.

But let him do it to the Xiahou clan, there was absolutely no hesitation.

Cao Lan killed the second generation of Xiahou's children, not only Cao Cao recognized it, but even Cao Pi recognized it.

This unlucky child is the younger brother of Xiahou Shang, Xiahou Yuan's nephew Xiahou Shang, whom Jin Hou mentioned to Cao Lan before, Xiahou Shu, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, relying on the power of his uncle Xiahou Yuan, and at the same time, because his brother Xiahou Shang was favored by Cao Cao and Cao Pi at the same time, he showed off his power in Xu Capital. However, because of his young age, there is no major fault.

Otherwise, Xu County Commander Manzhong would not allow him to be evil in Xudu, Cao Lan, who returned to Xudu, chose him as soon as possible, and chose an opportunity to lure Xiahou Shu to a beautiful widow's house, and after getting him drunk, he not only killed him, but even cut off his head.

Hearing this, Jin Hou nodded secretly, thinking to himself, if what he expected was correct, the reason for Hou Long's defeat this time might be on Cao Lan, no, it should be said that it was the killed Xiahou Shu.

However, Jin Hou did not say this sentence in public for the time being.

After Cao Lan finished talking about herself, she stopped and glanced at Jin Hou.

"You go on!" Jin Hou understood what he meant and commanded.

At this time, there is still Cao Lan, a bystander, who can tell the story of the defeat more clearly.

When Cao Lan heard this, she continued: "General Qiyuyamen, after the villain returned, Vice General Long has been living in seclusion to a few places where the soldiers are hiding according to your instructions before leaving, and sent scouts to look for fighters. Yu Ban found that his grain route was likely to be cut off, and he probably sent someone to notify Cao Thief on the one hand, and Xu Du on the other. After that, although the total number of baggage troops did not increase, it was still 5,000 people, but the generals who led the troops were very careful.

Therefore, Vice General Long has never dared to act rashly. But just seven days ago, a group of Cao troops suddenly appeared around our army, about 3,000 people. The villain was incompetent, and as soon as Cao Jun appeared, except for the villain's capital, almost all the baggage soldiers who had surrendered to the general before ran away. Our army was caught off guard, and with such a mess of surrendering troops, it was defeated.

General Yamen, in fact, in this battle, Vice General Long and Vice General Tiger have done their best, if it weren't for this, General, you wouldn't see so many brothers still alive to see you! Vice General Tiger was injured because he met the son of a member of the Cao Army, that is, Dian Wei's son Dian Man, his martial arts are definitely not as good as his father, but Dian Man is also born with divine power, and Vice General Tiger is weaker than his opponent in terms of strength.

Because he didn't understand the other party's ability in advance, the right arm of the tiger deputy general was discounted in one face. ”

"Humph! General Ben is not blind, so he can naturally see. When Jin Hou heard this, he snorted angrily, habitually touched his smooth chin, and asked: "The general of the Cao army who attacked our army, have you seen it, do you recognize who the other party is?" ”

"General Qiqi Yamen, start first, the general of the Cao army appeared, but at that time, the villain was still in a hurry to gather and wanted to prevent the soldiers from escaping, Xu is the deputy general's archery skills are too high, and when the villain led the remnants of the army to come out to fight, the general of the Cao army has not appeared again. I heard both lieutenants say that the troops were led by a very young general. Cao Lan replied truthfully.

"Bold Cao Lan, are you guilty?" After Cao Lan finished answering, Jin Hou suddenly said something that made everyone present confused, and he asked loudly.

"Villain......" Cao Lan was asked by Jin Hou, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hehe, don't you all understand? Hou Long, get up! For this defeat, there are two people in our army who have to bear this responsibility, the first is General Ben himself, and the second is Cao Lan. What everyone didn't expect was that Jin Hou first took the initiative to take the responsibility for the defeat, Dao.

"Let's talk about Cao Lan's fault first, Gongzi said that among the second-generation outstanding figures surnamed Cao and Xiahou, only those who are currently more prominent are Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Shang." However, he once again pointed out the responsibility that Cao Lan should bear in this battle, and finally asked rhetorically: "Cao Lan, do you understand now?" ”

At this time, Cao Lan suddenly realized, this time, he knelt down in front of Jin Hou's horse, kowtowed three times, and pleaded in a deep voice: "The villain is guilty, please punish the general!" ”

"Golden Tooth Gate, according to your meaning, the general of the Cao Army who led the sneak attack this time is Xiahou Shang, who Cao Lan killed his own brother." Liu Ji on the side also understood, and he interjected and asked.

"Yes, if I expected it to be true, it is Xiahou Shang. The reason why this general concluded that it was not Cao Xiu or Cao Zhen was because these two were now serving in the elite cavalry unit of the Cao army with Cao Chun, and they were busy helping Cao Cao and the lord fight in Jiujiang County, and they had no time to do anything in the rear. And the person who took charge of Xu Capital for Cao Cao was his current eldest son Cao Pi.

Xiahou Shang and Cao Pi were friendly with each other, his own brother was killed, coupled with the previous killing of Cao Hun, it is reasonable for Cao Pi to send Xiahou Shang to lead troops to clear the threat of our army to the rear grain of Cao Army. Gongzi once mentioned that on the surface, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are older, more favored, and have been in the army for the longest time, but in fact, among the second generation of the two families, the most outstanding is this Xiahou Shang.

General Ben said that Cao Lan had a presence in this battle, neither because he killed Xiahou Shu, nor because he did not manage those surrendered troops well. It's because after he killed Xiahou Shu, he didn't remind Hou Long to be careful of Xiahou Shang. Hou Long, did General Ben warn you that you must be careful of these three people. Since you know that Cao Lan killed Xiahou Shang's younger brother, why didn't you leave here with your troops as soon as possible? ”

"The last general is convicted." Hou Long knelt on the ground again and pleaded guilty.

"Guilty? I won't talk about Hou Hu, Cao Lan may not know Xiahou Shang. But what about you? Hou Long, in fact, you probably haven't realized what you are wrong about? Some of you may think that General Ben just heard the name of the enemy general and asked you to lead your troops to dodge, and you were cowardly before fighting, right? ”
