The so-called "a soldier dies for his confidant", and for Cheng Pu, he is not as simple as dying for his own father-in-law.

As for Sun Ce, it was still in order to let Cheng Pu regain his confidence, and also to let him understand that he believed in him, and he trusted him so much, so how could he have enough confidence himself. So he still left Cheng Pu to guard Linxiang, and others were more suitable than him-

Cao Cao once again asked the Yanzhou army to withdraw its troops, and this was his fifth day of attack, and it was also the fifth time that Mingjin had been attacked. This Xiangyang City is indeed difficult to attack, it is enough to block its own side for five days, but its own side still has not been able to capture it. It can be said that this was expected by him, but it was not expected.

Why did he say this, it was said that it was expected by Cao Cao, because with Cao Cao's eyes, he could naturally see that his side was going to fight under Xiangyang City, so he couldn't attack the city for a long time, which was actually what he expected.

As for saying that it was unexpected, it was because Cao Cao really hadn't thought about it, for more than five days, his own soldiers still failed to take Xiangyang, so he didn't expect this, he thought it would be three or four days, but the result was ......

Looking at Le Jin, who led the soldiers back, lowered his head, and then looked listless, Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to him: "Hahaha! Why is Wen Qian like this? The so-called 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', is it unacceptable? ”

Le Jin heard his lord say so. He raised his head and said, "Lord, my subordinates ......."

Cao Cao waved his hand at this time. said: "Let's go back and talk about it!" ”

With that, Cao Cao left the battlefield with everyone and returned to the camp of his Yanzhou army-

When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, after Cao Cao and everyone sat down one after another, he looked at his subordinates and said in his heart that his subordinates were not like him. You see yourself even if the siege is so blocked. I didn't show too much emotion. But some people's emotions are really not high.

As for this, Cao Cao is not just because he is the lord. It's also because of his personality that he's like this. As for his subordinates, there are a few who can't do this, so ......

No way. Cao Cao could only say a few words. And he said it simply, that means, as the lord and the leader of the Yanzhou army, he hasn't said what to do, why are you like this? In this way, he doesn't look like a subordinate of his Yanzhou Army at all, and he is very disappointed.

As a result, Cao Cao's words. It did play a role, after all, no one wants to let their lord say so.

I saw that some people were adjusted. Cao Cao said in his heart, it's a bit useful, or wouldn't it be in vain to say or do anything? ——

And after looking at everyone again, Cao Cao said, "Everyone, isn't it just a Xiangyang, why, just because the army is blocked, you are like this?" But it's okay at this time, you know how to adjust, and it finally didn't disappoint me! ”

As a result, as soon as Cao Cao's words fell, someone spoke out, saying that he had disappointed his lord and hoped that his lord would punish him. And Cao Cao waved his hand, saying in his heart that this matter could not be solved by punishment or non-punishment. It's about solving it fundamentally, and seeing how Xiangyang City is going to be broken now, it's only been five days now, and it's not unacceptable to me. But even if you don't accept it, what can you do, unless you withdraw your troops or attack other places to abandon Xiangyang, or you have to accept everything.

So if you think about it carefully, five days is not bad, but if Xiangyang is not broken on the fifteenth, then the things you bring to your side are basically not good.

So Cao Cao thought very clearly, instead of watching everyone like this, it was better to talk to them well, so he said at this time: "Everyone, you are so worried about the war, it is better to think more about how to break Xiangyang City?" ”

Cao Cao means that if you are depressed there, it is better to think more about how to break the city. Honestly, the rest is useless-

As a result, when I heard my lord say this at this time, a few people lowered their heads, and it was true, what my lord said was not bad at all. It's just a pity that even the two gentlemen can't do anything, and who else can have a good idea.

So everyone's eyes are focused on Xun You and Cheng Yu, which means, if you really pay attention, it can only be the two of you.

And Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at it like this, and both of them smiled bitterly in their hearts. The heart said that the two of them were not omnipotent, and Zang Ba, the main general of Xiangyang City, was not easy to match, not an ordinary general. The reason why the siege battle has not been cheap for five days has been inseparable from that Zang Ba Zang Xuangao.

Cao Cao saw everyone's movements, and he also knew what everyone meant, so he said again, "Don't go to Gongda and Zhongde, do you have no ideas?" ”

Cao Cao was at this time in his heart, if he wanted to say that the army should rely on strategists, and it would not work without strategists, this is certain. But if you really say that you have to rely on the counselor in everything, then you can't make much progress. Really, can't the generals come up with some ideas? Cao Cao didn't think that he must not be able to, so he still had confidence in his subordinate generals, after all, he couldn't rely on Xun You and Cheng Yu for everything-

None of the others said anything, but one of them did. "Cao Gong, Guan has some ideas, and I hope you can refer to them in detail!"

Cao Cao took a look. The person who spoke was Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, who had superb martial arts, but now he is still the Hedong Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who has not worshiped him.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha!" Well, the spirit of Yun Chang is commendable, everyone, you should learn from Yun Chang! Although our army has Gongda and Zhongde today. But we can't rely on them for everything, can't we come up with some ideas ourselves? Look at Yun Chang, don't care what he has to say. Anyway, it's worth your example! ”

When they heard their lord say this, a few people were just not very happy. After all, although Guan Yu also worked under the Yanzhou military tent, to be honest, most people still looked down on him. After all, he didn't really worship Cao Cao as the Lord. So in the eyes of many people. Then it's definitely not your own person.

So when they heard their lord praise him, some people were naturally unconvinced. But what if you don't accept it, at least people can say something, don't care if it's right or wrong, it's better than yourself and others anyway. His lord let everyone speak freely, but when he saw who spoke, it wasn't him Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who wanted to say it-

And at this time, Guan Yu looked at it like this, and the expressions of several people in the tent. He smiled bitterly in his heart. To say that Guan Yu was not afraid of Cao Cao's subordinates, but he listened to Cao Cao's words just now. Seeing the expressions of several people again, he also knew that this Cao Cao Cao Mengde, this Cao Gong, I don't know whether Lu Dao was intentional or not, and he pulled a lot of grudges against himself. Of course, Guan Yu is not afraid of these things, but is it troublesome, the less the better, isn't it.

But Guan Yu didn't think about it carefully, in fact, from the day he didn't worship Cao Cao as the lord, until now, he won't have less trouble, but now there is not much reality. After all, almost everyone under Cao Cao knows the truth, don't look at Guan Yu Guan Yunchang did not worship the lord, but he was a celebrity in front of his lord. And his lord is also very important to him, and his person is superb in martial arts and has made many military exploits, so generally no one will do anything to Guan Yu.

And after Cao Cao glanced at everyone at this time, he said again, "Yun Chang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, let everyone listen to it carefully, and let's refer to it together!" ”

After speaking, he gave Guan Yu a gesture of please, which means that you can say it now. And when Guan Yu saw it, he quickly nodded and promised-

At this time, I heard Guan Yu say: "Cao Gong, everyone, now the Liangzhou army still has an advantage, I don't know what you think, is this so?" ”

Everyone said, isn't this all nonsense, who can't see it? However, everyone didn't say anything, but their expressions couldn't be more obvious, and after Guan Yu saw it, he just smiled, and then he said again, "Then according to Guan Mou's meaning, our army will retreat first!" ”

When the people heard this, what did their hearts say? Do you want to withdraw your own troops? A few people opened it in one round, and Cao Cao saw that the big tent that was quiet before was a little noisy at this time, and he slapped the table, "Quiet!" Look at you, you are all generals in the army, what kind of system is it to be so noisy in the big tent? ”

Although Cao Cao is not a child of a big family, he is also a representative of Haoqiang, so the etiquette that should be necessary must be indispensable. So when he saw that the people were making some noise in the big tent, he was a little angry. The heart said that when you go to attack the city, there is nothing you can do about the city that others are guarding. If you are asked to say something, you can't say anything.

It's not easy, Guan Yu said a few words, but the result is not finished, you are working hard at this time, what is the reason? ——

And as soon as everyone saw that their lord was really angry, they immediately became dumb, and there was silence in the big tent at this time, and even the sound of panting could be heard clearly. In fact, everyone really knows their own lord, and they can see that their lord was really angry just now, so no one dares to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time, unless they don't want to live. Who doesn't know the temperament of his lord, if you really provoke him, no matter who you are, even if you don't die, but you can't get better.

And who is his lord, after so many years, everyone really knows the Tao very clearly, so under the Yanzhou military tent, Cao Cao's subordinates, if you want to say that there are few who are not afraid of Cao Cao. That is, Guan Yu, he can still be a little closer, he is not very interested in Cao Cao, and others really can't do what Guan Yu does.

So at this time, after Cao Cao slapped the table and drank a word, there was no sound in the big tent immediately, and at this time, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "The lord is angry, and please pay attention to the body!" The generals were also worried about the war just now, so please don't be angry! ”

At this time, Cao Cao's face sank like water, looking at Cheng Yu, and after a while, he said, "I don't have anything to do, since you don't say anything, then let's listen to Yun Chang continue!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything else, so they could only say in unison, "No! ”——

Cao Cao looked at everyone's attitude at this time, and this can be regarded as a relief in his expression, after all, the previous situation really made him very faceless. Looking at Guan Yu's expressionlessness, he knew that although he had no expression, he didn't necessarily laugh at himself in his heart.

For Cao Cao, Guan Yu didn't worship himself for a while, and he didn't worship himself as the master, which was not unacceptable to him. But he can't stand it and people laughing at himself in his heart, if that's the case, then don't expect him to really belong to him when he can really belong to himself, really. With Guan Yu Guan Yun's ability to grow his own people, wherever he goes, he will be important, so people don't necessarily have to hang themselves on the tree of their Yanzhou army.

Cao Cao still doesn't understand this, so he has not only been good to Guan Yu, but has also always been committed to making his people truly belong to himself and truly worship himself as the Lord. (To be continued......)
