Before you know it, it's the end of July.

"Alas, now that Zikang and Ben Chu are both standing still on the grounds of food shortage, then Yuan Highway is quite moving, but he is still in the process of recruiting and training, and by the time he can send troops, I am afraid it will already be winter." Cao Cao sighed as he looked at the information in his hand.

"Alas, if the Dong thief hadn't moved the capital to Chang'an, I'm afraid we would still be able to attack together, but now it's ......" Zhang Miao on the side shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh. Today's coalition army is completely different from when he called on the world at the beginning, even if he feels that Li Yi, who is as loyal to the Han family as he is, has begun to preserve his strength. However, Cao Cao did not blame Li Yi for this, because he felt that Li Yi was already very powerful.

With a mere annex to a state, more than 70,000 troops were dispatched, and now it has reached an army of 100,000 people. And obviously because of Liu Bao's rebellion, the Hu people in the state rebelled one after another, although most of them have been pacified, Li Yi can still stay in Hedong. In this case, Cao Cao himself, he absolutely did not believe that he could do it.

"Forget it, let's think about how to restore the fighting spirit of the others. There are banquets every day, and I'm afraid they are not in the mood to attack the revolving door for a long time. Cao Cao said helplessly.

Since the retreat to Xingyang, Wang Kuang and others have held banquets every day, obviously nothing has been achieved, and they don't know what they are celebrating.

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Miao was also a little helpless, he was friends with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and at the same time, he was one of the eight chefs in the past, and he was the first person to help Cao Cao contact the heroes. If there is anyone other than Cao Cao who wants to defeat Dong Zhuo Kuang and support the Han Dynasty the most, then it is undoubtedly him.

But now, he doesn't know what to do, "Can you just stay here and wait?" Zhang Miao thought irritably.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp, which immediately made the two of them frown, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the soldiers are starting to mess around too?! Cao Cao said angrily. Obviously, he thought that because of the banquets of many county guards, the soldiers under his command began to relax their vigilance, and it was even likely that those county guards rewarded the soldiers with drinks in order to have fun, and by the way, they could also win people's hearts.

Just as Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were puzzled, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the tent, and then, Zhang Chao walked in quickly and shouted anxiously, "Big brother! Mengde, something is wrong! Then Liu Dai and Qiao Mao fought! ”

"What?!" Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were immediately stunned when they heard this, and then, Zhang Miao couldn't help but scold, "What's the matter?!" That Liu Dai is also a member of the royal family, Yanzhou Assassin History, and that Qiao Mao is also the third duke, how can he ...... How could he do such a thing as Meng Lang?! ”

Just hearing Zhang Miao's words, Zhang Chao shouted anxiously, "Big brother, it's not that the two of them are fighting, it's that Liu Dai who directly led the army to attack the camp of Qiao Mao!" ”

"What?!" Hearing this, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were shocked again, and then, they heard "Bang!" But Cao Cao sat on the ground with a butt, his eyes were blank, and he kept muttering, "It's over...... It's completely finished......"

"Meng De, don't be discouraged, then Liu Dai's troops are not stronger than that Qiao Mao, I'm afraid that by now, the losses of the two armies will not be very large. As long as we try to persuade them, there is still a chance to appease the two of them. Hearing this, Zhang Miao didn't know the meaning of Cao Cao's words, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.

"That's right! There's still a chance! Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Cao Cao stood up abruptly and responded, and then strode out of the account. Seeing this, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao also hurriedly followed.

It's just that when the three of them arrived at the scene of the incident, the battle was already over. The only thing I saw was that the soldiers of the Qiao Mao Army were kneeling on the ground.

"What's going on?! Could it be ......" When Cao Cao saw this, he knew that things had developed in the worst direction, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, Wang Kuang and others standing beside him.

"I don't know...... By the time I got here, they were already fighting. When Wang Kuang and the others heard Cao Cao's words, they replied casually. It's not that they look down on Cao Cao, but their attention is all on the Qiaomao camp not far away.

"Then why don't you stop them!" When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately asked angrily. His tone was terrible, but when something like this happened, his tone couldn't be much better.

"Cao Mengde, pay attention to your tone!" Yuan Yi on the side immediately frowned when he heard Cao Cao's words, and responded angrily, "And we don't know what happened, how can we send troops to stop it at will?" One carelessness can dissolve the entire coalition army. ”

Well, Yuan Yi's words sound like there is a trace of truth, but to Cao Cao's ears, it is bullshit at all! If others sent troops to intervene to separate the two armies, would Qiao Mao and Liu Dai still dare to be enemies of the entire coalition army?

It's just that now is obviously not the time to continue to quarrel with Yuan Yi and others, so he directly broke in with his personal guards, accompanied by Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao. Seeing this, Yuan Yi and the others also hurriedly followed, although Cao Cao's words just now made them a little embarrassed, but they were still very concerned about this sudden infighting.

It's just that at this moment, I saw a person come out of the big tent, shouting something constantly, and then I saw those soldiers of the Qiaomao Army who were kneeling on the ground standing up one after another. After a while, the word "bridge" fluttering on the camp became the word Liu.

"This ......" Seeing this, Cao Cao and the others suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts, and at the same time, the speed under their feet increased again. It's just that when they entered the tent and saw the situation inside, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.

Qiao Mao, the dignified county guard of Dongjun County, one of the members of the coalition army, actually died in his own tent, and it was Liu Dai who killed him?

Seeing everyone, Liu Dai didn't panic, but just said coldly, "This Qiao Mao has humiliated me many times before, and after I refused to borrow grain from me last time, he dared to grab grain directly just now." Therefore I could not bear it any longer, so I led my army and slew him. ”

"This ......" Cao Cao and the others were immediately shocked when they heard this, but they did not doubt the truth of Liu Dai's words.

Relying on the fact that he is the son of the former Sangong Qiao Xuan, and at the same time, Qiao Xuan has a very good relationship with Li Yi, and Qiao Mao's usual personality is quite unlikable. Not to mention that Liu Dai sent troops in the past, he barely said anything good about his various threats.
