Chapter 76: Shock

Cao Cao smiled and looked at Xun Yu with approval, Wen Ruo deserved to be my son's room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Without him, I'm afraid this position would already be Yuan Shao's. Especially the trick of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is really amazing. However, the strange thing is that after he became the prime minister, he felt that Wen Ruo seemed to have less words, just doing things silently.

Sitting on the first seat on the left, Shangshu Ling Xun Yu, at this moment is looking at the nose and nose and the heart, without distractions, if nothing happens, he is sitting in danger, quiet as an Arhat sitting in meditation, silent.

Xun Yu also sensed that Cao Cao was observing him, but he pretended not to know. He has devoted his life to supporting the Han family, and he has become more and more disgusted with Cao Cao's actions, and his enthusiasm has gradually cooled, and his mood has become increasingly depressed.

Every day, in the dead of night, Xun Yu asked himself, where was the chivalrous and courageous young man Cao Cao who used Wang Yun's seven-star sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo and lead the princes of the Eighteenth Route to crusade against Dong Zhuo? Why did Cao Cao become Dong Zhuo's second? Could it be that it was wrong to follow the auxiliary Cao Cao?

But he has followed Cao Cao for most of his life, and has been on the thief ship for decades, but he can't help himself, he can't stop, he is physically and mentally exhausted, he can't do anything, and he has dedicated all his best youth talents to Cao Cao's career, and he can't go back.

He has helped Cao Cao turn the tide several times, but the incomparable smart Xun Yu has lost his way forward. It's sad! It's easy to seek others, but it's also difficult to seek yourself.

The future is uncertain, the ideal is boundless, the ambition is difficult to pay, and I don't know where the road is? Xun Yu was puzzled and had to be silent.

While Xun Yu was preoccupied, Cao Cao was also full of confusion.

As a generation of heroes, since the army began to suppress the Yellow Turban, he will win every battle, and he will be able to level the heroes. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, but they are defeated and returned in defeat, and the north under their rule is greatly damaged in terms of financial, material, military, and morale.

Seeing that it was hopeless to dominate the world in his lifetime, and his ambition was difficult to pay, Cao Cao suddenly felt exhausted, and his ambition declined rapidly.

In addition, Cao Cao, who was nearly sixty years old, had a sharp decline in physical strength, and his energy was not as good as before, Cao Cao, who had once proudly said that "the old man is in charge of a long way, and his ambition is a thousand miles", began to change his outlook on life, in addition to personally presiding over and handling major affairs, he began to consciously hand over all the complicated military and political trivial affairs to Cao Pi to handle the experience, with the intention of cultivating successors.

turned to immerse himself in brocade clothes and jade food every day, lingering among the wives and concubines, determined to spoil the spring of the world, taste the delicious food of the world, and occasionally steal fishy hunts.

When the mood is good, the poetry is flourishing, and a group of Jian'an literati call friends, linger among the mountains and rivers, chant poems against each other, the wind and snow, and the days are extremely pleasant.

Due to the great loss of energy due to the upheaval with Du last night, Cao Cao's uncompetitive eyelids slowly closed, and he continued to reminisce about Du's fleshy and beautiful body.

Witnessing Cao Cao's leisurely appearance, Xun Yu's nephew Xun Yu was like an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely, and he wanted to stop talking.

Xun You, as Cao Cao's chief staff officer, was in charge of Cao Cao's military affairs and was responsible for handling major military affairs.

In the middle of the night last night, after Xun You received Xiahou Yuan's urgent military information, he hurriedly reported to Cao Pi, but Cao Pi, who was ambitious and talented, had no countermeasures and did not dare to make a decision. Xun You wanted to face Cao Cao directly, but Cao Cao had already gone to bed, how dare he be alarmed, because not long ago, a guard was killed because he was shocked by his spring dream.

Xun You, who couldn't sleep all night, made Cao Yi inform the military generals of Wenchen to convene an emergency military meeting early in the morning, and now seeing Cao Cao sleeping with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but be anxious, fidgeting, and had to hum and cough in his mouth, intending to wake up Cao Cao.

The coughing sound woke up Cao Cao, he slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and smiled: "Hehe, what's the matter with Gongda?" ”

It seems that Cao Cao is in a good mood today.

"Wake up the prime minister, and hope for forgiveness." Xun Yu hurriedly made a bow.

Cao Cao looked at Xun You, who was sweating profusely, and asked with concern: "Gongda, the heavy rain is sunny at the beginning, fresh and cool, why are you sweating so much?" ”

"The military situation is urgent, but I don't dare to wake up the prime minister, so I sweat profusely." Xun You replied.

"Ah, there's an emergency military situation? Why is Wen Ruo so calm? Cao Cao glanced at the ministers, saw that Xun Yu was as quiet as a mountain, and asked with interest.

Xun Yu, who was like an old monk, didn't open his eyes, and replied with a slight bow: "The prime minister is as calm as the sea, and he is not alarmed, Yu is just imitating the prime minister." ”

Xun Yu and Xun Yu are collectively known as "Yingchuan Shuangying". Among them, Xun Yu has made many achievements in strategy, planning, conspiracy, Kuang Bi, and lifting people, and Xun Yu has made a lot of contributions to Cao Cao's success, and is called "my son's room" by Cao Cao. Xun You has made great achievements in offering strategies and strategies.

"Yingchuan Shuangying" is all for my use, and I have this blessing, haha. A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

When everyone was depressed after the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao once said that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the key lies in the heart, as long as the fighting spirit is still there, there is a chance to make a comeback.

Xu Shu looked at Cao Cao with a face full of spring with cold eyes, and smiled secretly in his heart, the old thief is happy, it's too late for you to cry later.

When Liu Bei was defeated in Dangyang, Xu Shu's mother was unfortunately captured by Cao Jun, Cao Cao sent someone to forge his mother's letter to summon him to Xu Du, and Xu's mother committed suicide after scolding Xu Shu.

Xu Shu, who was deceived into returning to Cao, hated Cao Cao, although he was strategically brilliant and talented, he did not give advice to Cao Cao for life, and he was not an enemy of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Therefore, there is an allusion to "Xu Shu entered Cao Ying, without saying a word".

Seeing that Cao Cao was so leisurely, Xun You couldn't hold back any longer, and reported loudly: "Prime Minister, Xiahou Du Governor reported urgently, our army was annihilated by the rebels in the first battle of Dangyang, more than 2,000 people, of which ....." Xun You wanted to speak and stopped, looking up at Cao Cao's face.

"Ah, there is such a thing! What of them? Hurry up! Cao Cao's smile instantly turned into a sad face, and he exclaimed.

Among them, the tiger and leopard rode a thousand soldiers and were martyred. Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Zhang Jaw, and Xu Huang were injured by the thieves. Xun Yu stiffened his head and said, and at the same time asked the chamberlain to present a military report.

The hall was full of surprise, and everyone exchanged their heads and talked about it.

Cao Cao took the military newspaper and his hands trembled non-stop, and after reading it quickly, his face was pale, his expression was decadent, and his body that was hollowed out by wine finally couldn't support it, so he sat down in his seat, and the military newspaper slipped to the ground, hiding his face and sighing. Shocked everyone.

As we all know, whether a tiger or a leopard rider or a horse, is a baby bump, a person is one in a hundred people, and a horse is a good horse in a thousand miles. The equipment, maintenance costs, and training time of one person and one cavalry are more than 20 times that of ordinary soldiers, which means that more than 20,000 ordinary soldiers were lost in the first war.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao was as painful as if he had been cut off a large piece of meat.

Looking at Cao Cao's painful appearance, although Sima Yi's face was not well, but his heart was happy, Cao Cao's old thief couldn't imagine that you also have today! Haha, it's better to all die.

Thinking of the painful time when he was forced to lie in bed and pretend to be dead and sick for seven years, Sima Yi began to greet Cao Cao's beautiful wife and concubine again, gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, why don't the old thief die quickly?!

After a long time, Cao Cao finally slowly opened his old and dizzy eyes, and everyone clearly saw that Cao Cao, who was nearly sixty years old, had tears rolling in his eyes.
