Chapter 608: Greeting
On the other side of Cao Cao is the old man Cheng Yu who is eight feet tall like a bamboo pole, as for Xi Zhicai, he has died of illness, he has been in poor health since Cao Cao was shocked when he slaughtered the city in Xuzhou, and then he was hungry and tired, and finally he couldn't afford to get sick, Cao Cao heard that there was a good doctor in Zhang Liao's army, and he sent someone to find a doctor in Qingzhou, but before the doctor arrived, Xi Zhicai died of illness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The death of Xi Zhicai is a big blow to Cao Cao, who has always attached importance to talents, and Cheng Yu is the only one who is good at planning around him, he wants to recruit talents, but his current situation is too difficult to attract talents, plus Zhang Liao's recruitment order has spread all over the Kanto, with the banner of the Son of Heaven, and the reputation of Hedong Academy, he can't compete for talents at all, which is also one of the reasons why he chose to enter Beijing.
Cheng Yu looked at Luoyang City from afar, his emaciated face looked solemn, he actually didn't want Cao Cao to come to Beijing, but now they have no other way, he is not afraid of Lu Bu, but Zhang Liao is different, Zhang Liao's power is too strong, whether it is the right time, place and people, or the soldiers, horses, grain and grass completely crushed Cao Cao, and welcomed the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will continue to die in Yanzhou sooner or later.
……
In Luoyang City, in a house in Shangyuanli, Dong Cheng's expression was a little anxious, wandering back and forth.
A person came in outside, it was a kind of series, Dong Cheng asked urgently: "Zhang Liaoke is still outside the Middle East Gate?"
Chong Ji nodded: "He's waiting for Cao Cao."
A haze flashed on Dong Cheng's face, Cao Cao was summoned by him, and he was going to greet him in person, but when he was about to leave the house, he learned that Zhang Liao had brought someone to greet him outside the Middle East Gate.
Originally, Dong Cheng was most jealous of Zhang Liao's reputation, especially Zhang Liao's support from the people and scholars, so he set up a small plan to let his subordinates find some unrelated people to deceive Zhang Liao's relatives, and destroy Zhang Liao's reputation at the bottom little by little, in order to eat away at Zhang Liao's foundation.
Dong Cheng didn't expect that Zhang Liao's brother was just a tun chief, and he didn't expect that he only let his subordinates contact Song Ming once, and he was found out by Zhang Liao, which really made him feel terrified, and he didn't know what kind of hands and eyes Zhang Liao's secret was throughout.
In fact, what Dong Cheng didn't know was that Zhang Liao's intelligence ability was not so powerful, but when he saw Song Ming's expression that day, he casually deceived Dong Cheng.
And Zhang Liao did not take any action after that, but made Dong Cheng extremely uneasy in his heart.
……
After passing through the East Market, the East Gate was in sight, and he saw a group of people waiting in front of the city gate, Cao Cao sat on a horse, and saw a group of people waiting in front of the city gate from afar, and he saw a person he would never forget.
He couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly pointed to the city gate and asked Cao Hong beside him: "Zilian, see that the first person is Zhang Liao?"
Cao Hong took a closer look and exclaimed: "Lord, there is no doubt that it is him!" What is he doing here? And Zixiu!"
Cheng Yu stared at the young man standing there and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid he's here to greet the general, but this person is extraordinary."
Cao Cao squinted his eyes at Zhang Liao, who had also seen it, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I don't want Wenyuan to come to greet me, I should step forward and thank you."
"Drive!" He shouted, and the whip horse broke away from the procession, and galloped to the city gate alone.
"Lord!" Cao Hong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly patted his horse to follow, and the cavalry behind him also hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the two hundred horsemen were about to run, Cheng Yu hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" The general is just a friend,"
In front of the city gate, Zhang Liao waited there with dozens of people, and beside him was Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, who was quite happy to see his father coming.
Not wanting Cao Cao to rush out suddenly, the two hundred horsemen suddenly increased their speed, and a strong man who was guarding next to Zhang Liao immediately protected Zhang Liao with his own guards, with a fierce expression.
Seeing this, Cao Ang hurriedly said: "General Zhang, Commander Xu, my father has no malice."
Zhang Liao also smiled and said, "Zhongkang, don't worry, Cao Mengde won't be so unwise."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the cavalry behind him stop, and only the two horsemen in front of him galloped.
Zhang Liao smiled again: "It's the two Cao Mengde brothers who are here, Zhongkang should step aside."
The strong man retreated to Zhang Liao's side with his personal guards, but he was still vigilant and guarded carefully.
He is more than eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, it is Xu Chu, after Zhang Liao issued a recruitment order in the past two years, he went to the Quartet to inspect, he got Dian Wei, how could he forget Xu Chu, before only because he had no time to doppelganger, but this time he deliberately went to Qian County, please come out of Xu Chu.
Xu Chu also heard about Zhang Liao's reputation, and saw that his dignified hussar general actually came to invite him, that is, he was moved, and after a conversation, he took refuge in Zhang Liao, and he became Zhang Liao's new personal guard commander.
Cao manipulated the horse to gallop closer, twenty steps away, flew off the horse, strode towards Zhang Liao, and laughed: "Wenyuan don't come to harm?"
Zhang Liao handed over the sword to Xu Chu, and also laughed to greet him: "Meng De's demeanor is still the same!"
Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao untie the sword and people, and also threw the long sword at his waist to the ground, and Cao Hong, who was closely following him from the horse, knew Zhang Liao's strength, and said urgently: "Lord!"
Cao Cao saw that the guards behind Zhang Liao seemed to be about to act, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said loudly: "If Wen Yuan wants to harm me, he killed me as early as Xingyang, why wait today."
He had already come to Zhang Liao, ignoring the salute of his eldest son Cao Ang, but bowed to Zhang Liao: "the hussar general."
Zhang Liao held him and smiled: "Mengde, in the past in Xuzhou, I did have the heart to kill you."
Cao Cao was taken aback, seeing that Zhang Liao seemed to be laughing, his eyes rolled, and he shook his head again and again and sighed: "In the past, although Xuzhou had the intention of avenging my father, it was also my fault, and the injury of the two arrows made me repent, and I regretted it, and I often sat up in a dream, ashamed!"
Zhang Liao smiled and didn't expose Cao Cao's words, but what he didn't know was that Cao Cao's words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, and there was indeed a shock in the dream, but it was not guilt, but the scene when Zhang Liao chased and killed him in a dream, and he had palpitations.
On the side, Cao Hong saw that Zhang Liao had no intention of harming each other, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, respectfully saluted Zhang Liao, and reminisced with Cao Ang.
Zhang Liao nodded at Cao Hong, looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile: "Meng De has a strategy and a good plan, and now Meng De has returned to the dynasty, which can help me to support the community and secure the world together."
Cao Cao hugged his fists and said, "It should be like this."
At this time, Cheng Yu caught up behind, dismounted and saluted Zhang Liao, and said expressionlessly: "The hussar general has good means, and he has nowhere to settle down."
Zhang Liao saw that the old man had a posture of asking for guilt, and said with a smile: "It's Dong Ah Cheng Zhongde?"
Cheng Yu's expression was quite arrogant: "Exactly, I don't want the hussar general to know my name."
Zhang Liao nodded: "I heard that Rushan is a dried man, I don't know if it's delicious?"
Vomit! On the side, Cao Hong's face immediately turned pale.
Cheng Yu's expression remained unchanged: "It's just hunger, if you don't do it, tens of thousands of people will starve to death, it's not like the general hoarding grain and grass, taking advantage of the fire to rob, and not saving him when he sees death."
Zhang Liao shook his head: "Before the battle of Xuzhou, I said that there was a catastrophe, and I persuaded you to suspend the army, but I didn't comply."
Cheng Yu snorted: "General Zhang put Lu Bu in Jianghuai, how can he not fight?"
Zhang Liao was too lazy to argue with him, Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou at that time, and Lu Bu was still in Hanoi, so what did he have to do with him.
However, Lu Bu did disappoint him a little,
Duan Xuan, Zhang Yang, and Bao Xin have all entered the court, but after the defeat of Lü Bu Yanzhou, he would rather enter Xuzhou than return to the court, which shows that he is still ambitious and politically immature.
He packed up his thoughts, grabbed Cao Cao and said: "Meng De is running all the way, he must think of his wife and children, I will go back to the house with my son to rest today, and I will set up a banquet to entertain me in the future, and I will play it again to the Son of Heaven."
Cao Cao saluted Zhang Liao: "It's so good, don't hide it, I think about my wife very much."
Zhang Liao laughed, Cao Cao made him appreciate this, Cao Cao was far better than Liu Bei in treating his wife and children.
……
Cao Mansion, Cao Cao entered the mansion gate, and when he saw the mansion door closed behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Cheng Yu on his side: "Zhongde, Fang Cai asked Zhang Liao, it is very dangerous."
Cheng Yu looked calm: "I am testing Zhang Liao'er, if he asks me about the crime, the general will be in danger of returning to Beijing this time, and now he ignores me, which shows that he has no intention of harming the general at this time."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was greatly moved.
Cheng Yu said again: "When I see Zhang Liao today, I know that he is extraordinary, the general has a great enemy, Zhang Liao is not dead, and the general is not safe."
