The wind and snow are howling, Xu Du.

The snow fell on the house, this is the last day, the street from time to time can see the people in front of their own snow sweeping, acquaintance, or unfamiliar also at the end of the year and people to say hello kindly, this day the wind and snow finally stopped, the atmosphere of the upper level of Xu Du, also became urgent.

A figure strode out of the palace, between the eyebrows of the end of the square, full of serenity, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the palace gate, Xu Chu beckoned to let the carriage parked over there.

"A bunch of fools!"

Cao Cao glanced back at the imperial city behind him, whispered a word in his mouth, and sat in the carriage, the wheel slowly drove away, and a group of guards behind him followed with a hurry, he lifted the curtain and looked at the troubles of people coming and going, recalling that the group of civil and military officers in the court who were not close to him were asking when to deal with the Gongsun Zhi who killed Shang Shulang in the imperial city.

He stretched out his hand to roast on the small stove, and let out a white breath, "I really shouldn't have promised the white wolf, it's not the right thing to provoke." He muttered with a wry smile.

After a while, Cao Cao asked Xu Chu, who was riding a horse outside the curtain, "Zhongkang, what news is there from Shanggu County?" ”

"No ......"

Through the curtain, when the words of the urn outside came, Cao Cao frowned, and promised Gongsun to stop doing this play, and originally saved the meaning of watching his jokes, and for nearly a month, Shanggu County did not make any trouble, but he was annoyed to death in the court.

It's just.

"Since there is no news, then good news! I can't see a joke, I have to calm down from the court as soon as possible. Cao Cao sighed, opened the curtain and ordered the big fat man over there: "Go to the prison." ”

"Aren't you going home?"

Cao Cao waved his hand: "If you don't go back, it's a miasma to go back, just pass the white wolf together this year, you go to buy some meat, and then bring it over." ”

Having probably made up his mind, the curtain was lowered, and the carriage drove through the cold and windy street, turned the direction at the next intersection, and passed towards the government prison at the sound of the coachman shouting and pedestrians.

At the same time, inside the cell.

"Is there really no news from outside?"

Holding a skinned dog's leg and shaking it in his hand, Gongsun Zhi cut off a piece of meat and threw it into the boiling soup, frowned, said doubtful words in his mouth, put down the dog's leg, and licked the blood on his fingers.

"No matter what, there should always be some news, Dingyang, Huaxiong in the clouds, and Gao Sheng should not be able to sit still, and only Li Ru can sit on the side of Shanggu County...... Could it be that Cao Mengde deliberately hijacked the information? ”

At this time, in the room, the giant man who was fighting with Li Ke to eat meat, heard the lord's doubts, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he pushed away the wine handed over, "I'm going to be restrained." Then, Yao slapped on several cases, and his thick beard trembled: "Don't worry about the lord, if Cao Mengde really does this, the old dian will wait for the halberd to be in front of him, and the lord will go out of the city." ”

"It's not there yet, keep eating yours."

Gongsun Zhi threw the dog leg over, "Even if Cao Cao has that heart, now that Yuan Shao has not been eliminated, he will not dare to erect another enemy and imprison me, it will only make Shanggu County and even the five border counties fall into Yuan Benchu's hands, and then he will face even greater pressure." ”

Outside the house, footsteps sounded, the door creaked open, and when the damp cold wind of the prison squeezed in, a figure walked in carrying a large skewer of meat, laughing: "Just now I heard Gongsun mention my Cao Cao's name." ”

"Haha, I really said Cao Sikong, Cao Sikong has arrived." Gongsun Zhi also laughed, and went to put the fresh meat brought by the other party on the edge of the ding.

Over there, Xu Chu came in from behind, closed the door, and consciously sat at Dian Wei's table, three pairs of eyes stared at each other, and the big fat man pointed to a few pieces of white meat cooked on the table, "Can I eat it?" ”

"Let go and eat!" Dian Wei felt that this fat man had a similar smell to himself.

While talking at this table, on the other side, Cao Cao took off his cloak, shook off the snowflakes, sat down opposite Gongsun Zhi, took a piece of meat from the table at random, cut it into small slices and ate it in his mouth.

"Gongsun is happy here, Cao Cao can live outside!" He chewed the meat, threw the knife on the table, and said with a smile: "You want to deceive some people with evil intentions, but unfortunately in the end, there is no news at all, and the factions of the people under your command are chaotic, but they are also the same heart." ”

Gongsun Zhi wiped the grease on his hands and glanced at him, "A heart may not be, but there are always a few capable people who are helping to carry this matter, it should not be broken, which I didn't expect." ”

"So...... That's it. Cao Cao's smile gradually converged, and he narrowed his eyes: "Otherwise, the small fish didn't fall, but was dragged into the water by the big fish." ”

Here, Gongsun Zhi frowned and was silent for a moment, "You mean Yuan Benchu?" ”

"The news that you are trapped in Xudu will also be known over there." On the opposite side, the figure of the black regular clothes covered with leather fur, the big thorny raised one leg to press the seat cushion, put the elbow on the knee, and raised the fingers: "...... You have to know one thing, no matter whether your white wolf is really imprisoned here or not, Yuan Shao will definitely let go of this opportunity, and when the winter snow melts, he will inevitably take a bite. ”

His fingertips hung down, pointing to Gongsun Zhi, who was silent on the other side.

……

The sky was gloomy and snowfalling, outside Xuchang City, a team from Xuzhou hurried to hurry, and finally came to the city gate on the day of the New Year, but hesitated a few times, Liu Bei looked at the wall under the snowflakes, as if considering some rhetoric.

"Big brother, send a letter to Cao Cao quickly, the three of us brothers can't spend the night on horseback at this juncture." Zhang Fei shouted and came from behind, "After this year, I borrowed soldiers, let's fight back, sister-in-law, they are still at Lu Bu's house!" ”

Lifting the green dragon knife, the general of the jujube red horse looked over, lowered his face and drank lightly: "Third brother, Hugh talks to my brother in such a tone." ”

"It's the truth!"

Zhang Fei glared back with big eyes like copper bells, and pointed at the city in front of him: "It's all here, and I'm hesitating, I'm so unhappy, I can really die in a hurry." ”

"Yi Dexiu wants to bury me." Liu Bei glanced back at him slightly, he couldn't see the expression on his face, he sighed: "Brother Wei is just thinking about how to speak when he sees Cao Sikong, and now he is almost thinking about it, send someone into the city." ”

On horseback, Zhang Fei's rugged face showed joy, "This is a good brother!" Immediately, a fast horse was sent to gallop into the city with Liu Bei's token.

Soon, it was getting dark.

………

In the cell, the words continued.

“…… Yuan Benchu wanted to take a bite? Gongsun Zhi nodded, his fingers clicked on the table, "Go to Youzhou to attack the army in Dushan, the distance is too far, he is afraid that I will get out of trouble halfway and miss the opportunity, so I will definitely not attack there......" His fingers dipped in wine and pulled to the left, "Although the mountain road is dangerous, the location of Shangdang County is definitely a must-take, and after taking it, it can not only connect the two states of Hebei and Hebei, but also hinder the business road of Shangdang County to attack the Central Plains." ”

"Looks like you've been expecting it for a long time."

"I've thought about it a long time ago, if he Yuan Shao really dares to go up to Taihang Mountain, the Montenegrin Army in Shangdang County is not the same group of mountain bandits as it was at the beginning." Gongsun Zhi smiled, took a sip of the bowl of wine and poured it down, and put it down with a snort: "On the battle at the foot of the mountain, he will suffer a lot." ”

"By the way, when will that Ren Hongchang give it to me?"

"Not for the time being, she still has her use, and when it's useless, I'll personally send someone to you and dispose of it at your disposal."

Cao Cao was about to continue, when there was a knock on the door behind him, Xu Chu wiped the greasy lips, went over to open the door, and the cell head bowed outside the door, "Yu Sikong, someone outside came to report, saying that Xuzhou Liu Bei came to visit." ”

Gongsun Zhi frowned: "Liu Bei? ”

"This person, I've heard of it, it's not famous, Tao Qian's old man died a few days ago, and he gave Xuzhou to him, which made me sulk for a long time." Cao Cao said with a smile, and waved his hand at the cell head outside: "Arrange for him to live in the post house, and I won't see anyone today." ”

"Wait."

After the long case, Gongsun Zhi raised his hand: "It's better to let him come over too, just get together to cook wine and talk about heroes." ”

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth rose to reveal his white teeth.

**********************

"Cao Sikong will be ready now?"

The three Liu Bei brothers, who had just stayed at the inn, were a little surprised when they received the people who came to lead. Guan Yu closed his phoenix eyes slightly, and held the Qinglong knife leaning against the wall in his hand, "Brother, don't be afraid, I will go to the banquet with my brother with my third brother." ”

The black-faced man also took the snake spear and nodded.

Soon, the three of them followed the lead out of the post house, at this time it was already dark, and they were not familiar with the streets of the city, so they entered the government prison in a daze, and at this time there were heavy soldiers outside, and they stayed inside, seeing everything clearly, Zhang Fei muttered: "Damn it...... This Cao Cao really invited us to dinner, but it was still a prison meal, so he simply beat us out. ”

"The three of us have not unloaded their weapons, if they don't go to prison, Yi Dexiu will be reckless."

Among the three, Liu Bei, who was walking in front, comforted the brother behind him without joy or annoyance, and after walking through a narrow passage, a guard came over to let them unload their weapons, Zhang Fei spread out his empty hands: "Brother, you shouldn't speak, now you don't even have weapons......" The words stopped abruptly, he sniffed his nose, "This is dog meat, and he is really eating, does Cao Cao like to eat New Year's dinner in prison?" ”

"Yi Demo wants to say it again, just go and see."

The three brothers, vigilant, still took a step towards the door where the light was cast, and strode over.
