Just when Cao Cao's army was fighting in the western city of Xuzhou, and the battle flag was invincible. Cao Cao's old friend Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, a strategist who abandoned Cao Cao's group halfway, had been planning in the study for a long time, and finally the two left the city and went to the dense forest somewhere.
In the secluded mountain pass, the birds and beasts are restless. It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings. Now there is an extra group of centaurs in the col, although it is a little down, but the majestic aura exuded by this group of centaurs is terrifying. Their tired bodies were like candles flickering in the night, but there was a bloodthirsty look in their eyes.
This is a real veteran of a hundred battles sharpened from the sea of corpses and blood, they are a man who is hated but envied. When they were merging states, they rolled in a pool of blood with the alien races who had committed crimes in the south, and made the princes of the Eighteenth Route tremble in front of the Tiger Prison Pass. What kind of team is this? Why is it so terrifying? Because this group of centaurs is called the Wolf Rider of the State! And leading their bloodthirsty wolf pack is the unparalleled fierce general of this era - Yuhu Wenhou Lu Bu!
The tall and mighty Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with great interest, who also exuded a strange look, this is the sympathy between fierce beasts, this is a wonderful combination of heroes and ministers. Since then, the tiger has wings and can fly freely, and these two people have joined hands to stir up the bloody land of the Central Plains again.

Cao Cao sat in the county office a little calmly and casually ordered some chicken soup offered by Ximenqing with a wooden spoon, "I can't think of it!" I still underestimate you! Cao Cao pointed at Ximenqing with the wooden spoon in his hand with a little interest. Ximen Qing said again and again: "It should be, it should be!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No! You are wrong again! There is nothing in this world that should be! Blowing snow, Lone has assigned you the governor grain and grass, go! Ximen Qing bowed: "Obey the general's order!" ”
In this way, Ximenqing once again collapsed on the grain cart and began to transport grain, and he was tired of the scenery on this road. Ximenqing boredly sang his famous song: "The king asked me to patrol the mountains!" I turned the world around...... "The grain brigade is gradually becoming a little more lively." A small colonel rode a horse: "The master of Ximen is really talented, I just saw that this team of soldiers is not the kind of dead face in the past." Ximen Qing scolded with a smile: "Go, go, go!" Is there news from Yanzhou or Xuzhou? You don't have any news, so you just want to hear the news from me! ”

On this way, Ximenqing traveled in order to alleviate the loneliness on the way to transport grain, but he was still frightened near Zhencheng. A fast horse reported an important piece of information to Ximenqing. Lü Bu colluded with a series of officials in Yanzhou, and staged a move to seize Puyang on the night when he couldn't see his fingers. Now his brother-in-law Wei Xu is coming to Zhencheng with a group of soldiers and horses, Ximenqing hurriedly sent fast horses to Xuzhou on the one hand, and sought support in the direction of Dongjun on the other, while directing the grain brigade to accelerate into Zhencheng.
Zhencheng sits on a flat piece of land, and there is no favorable terrain around it that can be ambushed. He also learned that Wei Xu's soldiers and horses were the elite of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and in the face of such an enemy, Ximenqing deeply understood that facing the enemy head-on was to send a blood to Wei Xu's merit book. I squatted on the ground helplessly and drew a circle to the left and a circle to the right, and for no reason my lower abdomen was tingling. Pregnant! Just use this! The stomach pain gave Ximen Qing an unpredictable inspiration, and the soldier next to him looked at the master of Ximen with a wicked smile on his face.
Wei Xu is also a powerful guy, at least he has no problem leading the team. Commanding the troops to arrive near Zhen Cheng very efficiently, and set up camp and arranged many sentry posts, after everything was done, he rested in his big tent and recuperated his spirits, preparing to give Zhen Cheng Cao Jun a thunderous blow the next day.
Wei Xu didn't sleep long before he heard the sound of the golden drum that was different from the one commanding the soldiers and horses on weekdays, and said angrily: "Which king and eight lambs used the golden drum in vain and tied it to this general!" The person didn't come in, and the strange fragrance first attracted Wei Xu's attention with the wind that poured into the camp. Wei Xu shouted: "What the hell is going on? The gatekeeper entered and reported loudly: "Back to General Wei, it is the old lady of the Hou family of the Zhencheng clan Hou Jihou who specially sent his son-in-law to visit him when he learned that the army of Wen Hou was coming!" ”
Wei Xu said disdainfully: "See! Ximen, who was dressed in gold and silver, walked in with a smile. Lang said: "Dongmen Sang, the son-in-law of the Hou family of Zhencheng, visited General Wei Huwei!" Wei Xu glanced at Ximenqing: "What is the important matter of sir?" Ximenqing clapped his hands, and immediately six sturdy servants carried a square tripod. What was permeating the wind before was the smell of the objects in the ding, and the overflowing smell attracted the coveted by the soldiers.
Wei Xu took a deep breath and pointed at Fang Ding slightly, "What is this?" Ximen Qing immediately smiled and said, "General Wei asked a good question!" This is a new dish made of roosters from Zhencheng City, carefully selected and carefully fried - Hero Chicken! This heroic chicken is not a heroic character can not be enjoyed, I heard that the world's first general Lu Junhou conquered Puyang, and our Zhencheng is about to be under the jurisdiction of Lu Junhou, so he specially knelt in front of the temple of Grandpa Stove and begged for nine hundred and eighty-one hours to get this food. And we ordinary people don't know the taste of Lu Junhou, so we took the liberty to send it to General Wei, the first general under Lu Junhou, to let General Wei check and taste it and give some advice! ”
Wei Xu smiled slightly: "That's it!" That general gave you a face to the people of Zhencheng! Then he walked to the front of the ding, twisted a chicken leg and asked, "The meat is meat!" Why is it still wrapped? Ximen Qing said again: "The general doesn't know, this is wrapped in the essence given by the grandfather of the stove god." The meat is meat, wrapped in vegetarian meat and carefully fried in lard. Otherwise, how could you get such deliciousness! After hearing this, Wei Xu nodded his head and gnawed on it, and after a while, the first layer of his face was killed. When Wei Xu continued to eat a piece, he scolded: "How is this, why is it so fishy!" Ximen Qing said again: "This is almost to the wonder of the hero chicken, but it is still the same!" Left and right on the drink! The muddy jar was brought up. Ximenqing yelled: "Heroes cherish heroes, how can you not drink!" Big gulps of wine, big mouthfuls of meat. The emperor also asked if there was any! ”
Wei Xu, who gradually went up, drank wine and ate meat in the big tent and became more and more talkative, and Ximen Qing said again: "The general is a strong man, the general is fierce, the general is strong, the general drinks hero wine, and the strong man must take a sip." The general pulls the hero's chicken, and the strong man drinks chicken porridge! Wei Xu came up and yelled: "The soldiers of the whole army listen to the order, and the good intentions of Zhen Cheng's father cannot be disappointed!" The chicken porridge sent by Zhen Cheng has to be drunk by General Ben! ”
Finally seeing that Wei Xu and Lu Bu's soldiers had finished drinking, eating up the meat, and drinking the porridge before they were about to leave under an excuse, Wei Xu drunkenly grabbed this Ximen Qing and said: "You are very good!" Ben will reward you with the beauty of a fire head army leader! Ximenqing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's reward, but there is still Cao Jun in this Zhen City, isn't it?" With us in Zhencheng, as long as this and this is so, so, and so, the general will be in Zhencheng County without much effort! Wei Xu patted Ximenqing's shoulder again and again and said, "You are really good!" When General Ben takes Zhencheng, he will make you the head of the fire army! General Ben wants you to make chicken porridge for your sons every day! ”
Early the next morning, Ximen Qing wore armor, hung a sword at his waist, and rode on a yellow horse with a spear in his hand, and led the Cao army grain transport team and the Zhen city defenders to kill Wei Xu's troops majestically. Where in that tent could anyone stand up? In just one round, Wei Xu's department was easily taken.

After only a few days, Cao Cao's camp got the news of the Yanzhou base area. Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord, let Old Man Tao Qian help us take care of it for the time being!" We should go back to Yanzhou to meet that tiger. A soldier came to report: "On the northeast and northwest mountain passes of Xu County, there is a Beihai phase Kong Rong, and the plain orders Liu Bei's banner, and the plains order Liu Bei has a letter here." Cao Cao took Liu Bei's letter and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, it's okay!" Just add a little more name to those people! It's important to go back to Yanzhou! Feng Xiao, you will reply to that guy who sells his reputation! ”

Cao Cao and his guests were the guests of honor, and on the table was Ximen Qing's new dish - hero chicken and chicken porridge. Cao Cao said with a smile: "It was these two new dishes that allowed our grain transportation team to annihilate Wei Xu's department, and captured more than 300 good horses and a dry Lu Bu army's clothing and armor. Blowing snow is getting better at business! Guo Jia also nodded slightly. Ximen Qing thanked him: "The lord, Guo Junshi, and the generals, Zhencheng has fertile land and is a rare and high-yield land." This group of soldiers and subordinates of the state have the audacity to ask you to come down, as long as they cultivate here for three years, they will definitely fall under the command of the lord. ”
Guo Jia nodded slightly: "Blowing Xue makes a bit of sense, the lord might as well let Blowing Xue serve as the commander of Zhen Cheng and guard this side of the land." Cao Cao pondered: "Blowing snow for Sima of other departments, Zhen Cheng ordered to cultivate and guard this place!" And oversee the food and grass of the army! Ximen Qing bowed down to receive the order. Cao Cao walked majestically to the middle of the hall and raised the golden wine bottle in his hand and said, "Everyone drink this cup to the full!" Let's go meet the tiger who doesn't know the might of our army! Everyone drank all the wine in the cup, and followed Cao Cao's steps out of the county office to look at the poignant sunset.
