Chapter 416: The Yellow Sea of Strange People
On the second day, Ma Zongheng suddenly invited Cao Cao to the tent to discuss matters, Cao Cao, Xun You and others heard this, and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that everyone had no plan to conspire, and this Ma Zongheng could still come up with a good plan?
So, Cao Cao and others were curious to go, and when they came to Ma Zongheng's tiger tent, they saw Ma Zongheng sitting on the head, Pang De, Hu Che'er and others would sit on the left seat, but the first person was wearing a wind and fire brocade robe, long hair shawl, looking debauched and uninhibited, unruly and untamed, and often with a smile on other faces, it actually gave people a kind of game world, and regarded the common people as chess of extraordinary wisdom.
In an instant, Cao Cao thought that he had seen Xi Zhicai, who was now guarding Xuchang.
"You are?" Cao Cao couldn't help but cast all his eyes on that person, and even ignored Ma Zongheng, and asked subconsciously.
The man slowly stood up, bowed his hand, smiled brightly, and said, "I have heard of Cao Gong's name for a long time, but Guo Fengxiao has seen Cao Gong." ”
"You are Guo Jia!?" Cao Cao had met Guo Jia, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, and Guo Jia had changed a lot in terms of temperament and appearance, so Cao Cao couldn't recognize him for a while.
"Hahahaha~~!! Luoyang farewell, in the blink of an eye for several years, Fengxiao's demeanor is better than before!! When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and walked quickly in front of Guo Jia as if no one was around, and stretched out his hand to grab Guo Jia, his face full of excitement.
Cao Cao's affectionate move suddenly made Pang De, Hu Che'er and other soldiers displeased, and they all frowned. After an incident two days ago, Pang De, who was quite respectful of Cao Cao, had no good impression of him, and even wanted to return the color!
Guo Jia did not refuse Cao Cao's kindness, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Cao Gong is so concerned, Jia Shi is flattered, I have heard about the recent war, and the unsuccessful lord of my family made Cao Gong laugh." ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, not only Cao Cao, but also Xiahoudun, Xun You, and Dian Wei who came with him all changed color, and their faces were full of horror and disbelief. I have never heard of anyone slandering their lord in front of others, and although the relationship between the two parties is an ally, they actually regard each other as potential enemies.
"You!" Pang De and Hu Che'er couldn't help themselves, and shouted angrily in unison. This can make Cao Cao's side change color again, which is good, they haven't sat down yet, but the other party is infighting, and they are going to fight.
"Enough, don't make jokes! Feng Xiao is right, if I can repel Lu Bu that day, I am afraid that our army will have forced Luoyang at this time! Ma Zongheng snorted coldly, and when Pang De and Hu Che'er heard this, although they were extremely angry, they could only sit down forcibly.
"Zongheng must not think like this, otherwise Cao will lose face. Lu Bu is brave and invincible, if it weren't for the vertical and horizontal blocking of him that day, I am afraid that I will lose Cao Hong's fierce generals first, and the deployment will be turned upside down by him. And I was even more ... Eh!! In the end, Cao Cao couldn't seem to continue, shaking his head and sighing.
"Hmph, this cunning thief will also show weakness." Ma Zongheng listened, and couldn't help sneering secretly, but his eyes quickly met Guo Jia's. It turned out that Guo Jiashi deliberately belittled Ma Zongheng in order to test Cao Cao's reaction, if Cao Cao, who had always had a heart for Guo Jia, intended to take advantage of this to show strength in front of Guo Jia. Guo Jia will start his own strategy with a plan.
However, at the moment, although Cao Cao showed weakness, Guo Jiazi also had countermeasures, so he smiled and said: "Lu Bu is a murderer who has been difficult to come out for hundreds of years, although Cao Gong's command is like a cloud, but he is also afraid that Lu Bu is not the enemy alone, Cao Gong is afraid of this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect his life, and because of the wrong report, he is in a hurry to withdraw, which is also human nature." ”
As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun, the two peerless generals, were suddenly unwilling, and they each yelled and shouted angrily.
"With me pawning evil, how did Lu Bu hurt half of my father-in-law!!"
"The ignorant scribe has no power to restrain the chicken, and he dares to make a big deal of nonsense here!!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and at the same time, his eyes showed a bit of fierceness, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand. Guo Jia was not afraid of Dian Wei and Xiahou Dun, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then Lu Bu and my lord fought that day and went away injured, but my lord was also seriously injured and did not fight, but it is understandable." But there are so many fierce generals under the command of Cao Gong, why do they not move? ”
"Sure enough!" When Cao Cao heard this, he woke up to Guo Jia's meaning. In fact, Cao Cao didn't want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he was afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, after all, Lu Bu was Lu Bu, even if he was injured, he was a demon who could not be offended lightly, and once he fought desperately, I am afraid that he would also lose both. Cao Cao's foundation had just improved, and he didn't want to hurt his vitality. Second, he has to be on guard against Ma Zongheng behind the pass, although Ma Zongheng doesn't mind on the surface, but who knows if he will stab him in the back? Once this happens, Cao's army will be destroyed. How could Cao Cao, who had always been shrewd and cunning, take such a risk?
Just as Cao Cao's thoughts turned, Guo Jia's eyes shimmered, as if he had seen through Cao Cao's thoughts, and said: "What Cao Gong is worried about, in fact, I can guess a few points." Now, don't you have a plan, I don't know if Cao Gong is willing to hear it? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes became even hotter, he was a little curious, and asked, "Please also say it quickly." ”
Guo Jia smiled, and then taught so and so. Seeing Guo Jia's quick speech, graceful demeanor, showing the wisdom of the ghost, he said it with one plan, which can be described as astonishing.
Even Xun You, who was full of resourcefulness, couldn't help but praise: "The ghost talent Guo Jia really deserves his reputation, I might as well be it." ”
"Xun Gong praised it falsely. But without further ado, if you want to act, it's better to do your best. Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
When Cao Cao and Ma Zongheng heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they even had a tacit understanding, and they said in unison: "Good! ”
So, at noon, Guanzhong was suddenly in chaos, shouting and killing sound repeatedly, and the sound of soldiers colliding was even louder.
After hearing this, he hurried back and reported to Lu Bu. When Lu Bu heard this, he would have been overjoyed if he had been in the past, but after two years of silence, Lu Bu, who had matured a lot, frowned at this time, and said: "The two thieves Cao and Ma are both insidious and cunning, and this may be a trick of the two. ”
When Gao Shun heard this, he also hit it off, and said with a shock: "The lord is very right. At present, the Lord Justice needs to rest, as long as it takes another three days, when the Lord can go to war and personally lead us, the morale of the three armies will inevitably be like a rainbow, and it will not be difficult to break the tiger prison!! ”
"But the Tiger Prison is the first male pass in the world, how can we break through it if we take it hard?" At this time, Cao Xing, who was sitting in the lower seat, couldn't help but say in a deep voice.
Gao Shun listened, sank his face, and said: "Actually, there is no need to rush into success, Dong Zhuo is now in Sanfu to transfer more than 100,000 troops, and our army, as an urgent task, is just to block the coalition forces of Ma, Cao, and Sun." Dong Zhuo didn't say anything, but he just hoped that I and the state army would fight with him! Lord, I don't know if I should say something! ”
When Lu Bu heard this, his evil eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I thought that Dong Zhuo had long been wary of the lord, and now he is just treating our and state armies as pawns to deplete the enemy's troops, but this is the case, why should we fight with them again? I thought that Jingzhou was rich, and there was a lot of baggage in the army, so why not go on an expedition, there are also a lot of thieves in Jingzhou, we can first set up a village on the mountain, collect the surrounding thieves, and then take Jingzhou, dominate one side, wouldn't it be good!? ”
As soon as Gao Shun's words came out, Cao Xing couldn't help but be excited, and said with joy: "General Gao's words are also good!" ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was unmoved, thinking of Diao Chan who held Dong Zhuo in his hand, his face became even darker, and he said coldly: "Now the time has not come." What's more, right now, I need to strengthen my reputation, so that even if I break away from Dong Zhuo in the future, I can recruit talents from all walks of life and establish a foundation. ”
The prestige of each side of the power is crucial, so many heroes and heroes take risks for it, but also in order to be able to grow their own forces faster in the future.
When Cao Xing and Gao Shun heard this, they couldn't help but secretly look at each other, knowing that Lu Bu still had no intention of leaving, and both of them couldn't help but show a little disappointment.
So, another day passed. Early tomorrow morning, there was a report from Xi Zuo, saying that Ma Zongheng had withdrawn the camp seven or eight miles away last night, and it seemed that he was beginning to guard against Cao Cao. When Lu Bu heard this, his expression was shocked, thinking that this was a good time, and he immediately summoned Gao Shun, Cao Xing and other generals to discuss.
"Ma Zongheng has withdrawn from the camp? Isn't there really a gap between this horse and Cao? Cao Xuan said suspiciously. Gao Shun listened, but he was also shocked, and said: "The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, this is worth a try." If there is a gap between the two, it will be a great benefit to our army! ”
"How does General Gao think he should be tempted?" When Cao Xuan heard this, he was not excited, and hurriedly asked. Gao Shun cast his eyes at Lu Bu, saw Lu Bu bowed his head a little, and motioned for him to speak, then he shook his spirits and said in a condensed voice: "Cao Cao didn't save Ma Zongheng when he saw death before, but if our army attacked, if there was a gap between the two, Ma Zongheng, who was far away, would have a reason not to come to the rescue." Otherwise, no, Ma Zongheng will fight back and forth and take the opportunity to attack. Our army is secretly prepared, but seeing this, it is necessary to withdraw as soon as possible. ”
"Well, you're very nice, just what I want!" When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded heavily, and suddenly stood up like an evil god-like body.
"My lord! What are you going to do!? Gao Shun's face couldn't help but change, and he asked anxiously. Lu Bu glanced at Gao Shun lightly and replied: "That Ma family child is not an ordinary person, but if he comes to attack at the expense of being injured, you two can't stop it, let alone the evil under the command of Cao Thief." ”
"But the lord's injury has not healed, and Huang Lao said that within five days, you can't fight without permission! He even said that he would be forced to die! Gao Shun frowned, but he was also afraid that Lu Bu would force himself.
"Hmph, a doctor who walks on his feet, he doesn't know the overall situation, humble rats, why do you point fingers at the lord!! If he dares to stop me, I will!! Halfway through Cao Xing's words, a terrifying and ferocious murderous aura suddenly erupted, Cao Xing suddenly felt cold, and the fur around his body instantly shrank together, and he didn't dare to move.
But when he saw Lu Bu walking slowly, when he passed by Cao Xing, the cold voice seemed to come from Jiuyou.
"Hmph, next time, but let me hear that you dare to insult Huang Lao, I will kill you."
When Cao Xing heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The lord forgives the sin, and the last general will never dare to be presumptuous again." ”
Half a time later, the army had been reorganized, but Lu Bu was not seen for a long time. In a tent, Lu Bu, who was supposed to be in command of the three armies, came to see an insignificant person.
"Eh, Lu Bu is Lu Bu, he will never succeed if he is ruthless and martial. Lu Bu, why don't you understand!? Huang Hai sighed in a low voice, shook his head and said with a little loneliness.
"This battle is very important, my wife was captured by Dong Jackal's old brute, I must do my best to defeat the tripartite alliance of Ma, Cao, and Sun, take the Central Plains to the old brute, and exchange it for my wife!!" Lu Bu's face changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, a pair of unruly evil eyes were full of terrifying fierce light.
"Could it be the beauty who lost her memory last time!?" When Huang Hai heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim. When Lu Bu heard this, he saw the shocked look on Huang Hai's face, hesitated for a while, but nodded.
"Confused!! Confused!! Didn't the old man tell you at the beginning, this woman has an ominous face and can charm all beings, but none of the men who approach him will end up. You almost died for her, why don't you know how to learn your lesson!? Huang Hai said bitterly.
