Chapter 521: The Devil After Growing Up

Of course, Cao Cao is known as the hero of the troubled times, and he is determined to be in the world, and he knows very well that he will fight with Lu Bu sooner or later, of course, Lu Bu still has use value at the moment, and before the time came, Cao Cao did not make a move.

Therefore, Cao Cao quickly came to his senses, and came to Li Ru with Xun Yu, and personally promised Li Ru these two conditions. Li Ru wept and bowed three times for his deceased master, before bowing down to Cao Cao again.

Li Ru is known as the think tank of Xiliang, and his intelligence is so high that he will naturally not be far behind. Cao Cao even regarded him as second only to Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, and even higher than Xun You, who was extremely good at scheming.

After that, Cao Cao, who got Li Ru, immediately began to rectify the prisoners vigorously. Cao Cao first named Li Ru as the Marquis of Xibo, and also a former military advisor, and at the same time made a big reward. Xiliang learned that although some people were secretly extreme, they were more secretly envious. After all, the demise of the Dong family is imminent, and the current situation is not difficult to see, Sanfu may not be able to hold it in the end, even if Dong Min succeeds in holding it, they have become Cao Cao's prisoners, how can they go back to take refuge, and more importantly, Dong Min is not Dong Zhuo, his cruelty and cold-bloodedness have long had a notoriety in the deployment of the Dong family, rather than taking refuge in a tyrant and killing himself, of course, more people are thinking that it is better to take refuge in Cao Cao, a rising star.

And rewarding Li Ru and attracting the attention of a group of Xiliang captives was only Cao Cao's first step. Immediately, Cao Cao sent Li Ru to the captives and selected a cadre of generals, who not only pardoned his crimes, but also retained his original position. Those generals who thought that they had become prisoners and had no future heard this, as if they had suddenly returned to heaven on earth from the abyss, and they were moved, and some even shed tears on the spot, and immediately expressed their loyalty to Cao Cao. This is exactly Cao Cao's second step. Afterwards, the news spread, which had a great impact on the Xiliang prisoners, and some soldiers who were not greeted by Li Ru began to get anxious. Even some diehards heard that there was a prospect of reinstatement, but they didn't want to do nothing for a lifetime and waver.

Cao Cao, who was extremely good at guessing people's hearts, learned that the report was coming from the details, and knew that the time was right, so he first asked Li Ru to buy a cadre general in the army, and then gathered a group of Xiliang prisoners under the general stage in the school field in the city. Cao Cao led a cadre of civil and military affairs and Li Ru personally present, Cao Cao first made an inspiring and generous speech, those who had voted for Cao Cao, and Li Ru's generals heard it, and they all responded excitedly. The soldiers in the army saw that all the generals and schools had the heart to join Cao Cao, and at the same time, many people were also impressed by Cao Cao's unique majesty, so the prisoners surrendered one after another. Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he gave good wine and meat to the army, celebrated greatly, and ordered Xun Yu to take out thousands of taels of gold and distribute them to the army. After a month, the captives were gradually decided, and Cao Cao ordered Li Ru to personally supervise them, extract the essence from the captives, and select 20,000 elites. Cao Cao was so important, Li Ru was grateful, and it took another month to finally complete the task. Cao Cao also commemorated Dong Zhuo, and at the same time had the heart to appease everyone, and named this new army the Jackal Tiger Army. And it was commanded by Cao Cao himself!

The sky and the earth are vast, all things are silent, and the so-called rivers and mountains are all in the soles of the feet. This is how Cao Cao feels right now. But he saw that Cao Cao was standing under the hall of the hundred officials in the past and the Son of Heaven listened to the court. Cao Cao changed its name to 'Tianxiong Treasure Palace', which means the heroic talent of Tianzhong.

"Dong Zhuo is dead, it belongs to my Cao Cao's era, and it's time to be roomed." Cao Cao sighed lightly, and a pair of sharp and slender eyes flashed with a light like the essence of heaven and earth.

At this time, I saw a person walking forward, this person was young, with white eyebrows, ruddy lips and slightly thinner, a mole under the corner of his eye, his expression was indifferent, like a deep person who did not like to talk to people, and he exuded a wise aura all over his body, which made people dare not underestimate him.

"Gongda, you're here." Cao Cao looked at the man who was coming from the stairs and couldn't help but smile. That person is Xun Yu's nephew - Xun Yu is also.

Xun You was obedient, immediately stopped, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty has seen the lord." ”

"How?" Cao Cao asked lightly.

Li Ru seems to be extremely grateful to the lord, these days have been in order, and there have been some people who deliberately provoke his relationship with the lord, hoping that he can preside over the overall situation, reorganize the remnants of the Dong family, and rescue Sanfu. But he took them down one by one, cut off their heads, and sent them to the lord's place. ”

"Well, I know all of that. Apart from these, what other anomalies are notable about him? ”

If this is true, it is that he weeps for his dead Lord every night. And he is extremely cautious, and he doesn't seem to dare to let people know. ”

"Oh? Is this true? When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole body burst with momentum. Xun Yu's heart jumped secretly, although Cao Cao's martial arts are not high, but he seems to have an indescribable power, once he is excited, this power will arise spontaneously, people can't help but be frightened, and want to surrender for it, if you really want to explain this, or this is the legendary king's spirit.

"It's true, for this reason, His Majesty made a special visit one night. Although Li Ru deliberately hid it, I obviously saw tears on his face, and there was still the smell of incense and candles in the house. I don't know what the lord thinks? Xun You said indifferently, but now he is in charge of Cao Cao's military system-goshawk. And he is the head of the goshawk.

"Xun Gongda listens to orders!" Cao Cao was obedient, his face was sudden, and he shouted coldly. Xun You's heart was shocked, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is here!" ”

"I order you to immediately remove the goshawk beside Li Ru, a loyal person like Li Ru should not doubt it, but believe it. Thankfully, I haven't caused a catastrophe yet! Cao Cao sighed. When Xun Yu heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he said hurriedly: "But this Li Ru has a bad reputation, so it's better to be cautious." ”

"Hehe, Gongda, your words are wrong. He has a bad reputation, but because Dong Zhuo is unbridled and flamboyant, and later he got carried away, he had to cater to his master, so naturally he would not have a good reputation. Well, I have my own measure, and I can't be wrong when I look at people. Cao Cao grinned, his eyes shining.

When Xun Yu heard this, he was full of admiration, and after he gave up his promise, he sank into a deep color, and said: "Shicai is in Sanfu and the goshawks in the Hedong area, there is information coming, it seems that my uncle's strategy has succeeded." The Son of Heaven is now under the protection of Zhong Xuan and others, and is rushing to Yicheng, and at the same time has made contact with Sun Jian. On the other side, Huang Pu Jianshou led the false son of heaven to the east of the river. Zhang Liao also took action, gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, and seemed to be going to meet the false son of heaven!! ”

"Excellent!! So what about that place in Jizhou!? Cao Cao couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were even brighter.

"As my uncle expected, Yuan Shao has sent his general Zhang Jaw to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to camp in Hanoi, I'm afraid he is also going to rob the fake emperor!" Xun You, who was originally dark-faced, couldn't help but laugh when he said this, and grinned.

"Hahaha~~!! Xun Wenruo is worthy of being a genius in the world~~!! In this way, I can go to meet the real Son of Heaven without worries~~!! The new era belongs to my Cao family~~! Hahahahaha~~!! Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of uninhibited and ambitious ambitions, which resounded throughout Luoyang City.

said that at the same time that Cao Cao was planning an earth-shattering plan. On the other side, it was said that Ma Chao gathered five or six thousand soldiers and hurried back to Fufeng City to rescue. How do you know that Yan Xing has already prepared, and the soldiers under his command are waiting for him, and when Ma Chao kills the city, the arrows in the city immediately fly up, and the falling trend is like a raging storm, endlessly. Ma Chao, who was anxious to retrieve Fufeng, ignored the persuasion of the generals, repeatedly killed the city, scolded and opened the door, and taught Yan Xing to go out of the city to fight. But Yan Xing's subordinates in the city only responded with bows, and shot Ma Chao wolf. Fortunately, Ma Dai and Jiang Jian arrived at the rescue in time. And Beigong Feng had to take care of Ma Yunlu, who had not yet recovered from the shadow of the storm, although he was anxious, but he did not dare to act without authorization, and then saw that the arrows in the city were falling faster and faster, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, and Fufeng City was impregnable, and it could not be broken for a while, and Beigong Feng was anxious to order the withdrawal of troops. As soon as the horn sounded, the soldiers of the Ma family on the front line had already lost their sharpness and hurriedly retreated. "Damn it~!! Who dared to give the order to withdraw the army without authorization, and give me back~~!! Ma Chao waved the flying dragon silver spear in his hand, hurriedly brushing away the rain of arrows, and at the same time roared with all his might.

"Second son, the enemy's arrows are fierce, our army has no siege weapons, only attacking with the flesh, it is undoubtedly a moth to the fire, it is better to withdraw first, and find another plan~!!" Jiang Jian, who was on the side, also waved a halberd in his hand, swept sharply, and shouted loudly.

When Ma Dai, who was on the other side, heard this, he immediately shook his spirits, and shouted urgently: "Brother Jiang is right!" If we don't withdraw our troops, our army will only suffer more casualties, and once the morale of the soldiers is low, they will be covered up by the enemy!! The consequences will be unimaginable!! ”

When Ma Dai said this, Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "That's right!" Listen to my orders and withdraw quickly~~!! ”

Ma Chao suddenly changed his mind, Ma Dai and Jiang Jian were overjoyed, and immediately escorted Ma Chao to withdraw, but in secret, Ma Chao secretly taught a plan, which shocked Ma Dai and Jiang Yin.

After a while, in the enemy tower in the city, a soldier rushed in with a look of anger and excitement, and saw a man on the high seat, with a cold and majestic face, exuding a vicious aura all over his body, like a demon general, holding the military book in his hand, calmly reading, and seemed to be not affected by the battle outside.

This person is the 'evil' Yan Xing who has succeeded in sneaking up on Fufeng, and even has the intention to take down the entire Liangzhou and dominate one side!

"Back to my lord! That Ma Chao has already retreated! Do you need to attack immediately? The soldier knelt down respectfully and said in a loud voice.

"Oh? This Ma Chao escaped earlier than I expected. Yan Xing listened, slowly put down the military book, and after sinking his color, he suddenly had a plan, and then taught this and so. When the soldier heard this, Lian was discolored, and he seemed to be extremely shocked by Yan Xing's strategy.
