Chapter 137: Rainy Night

The spring rain finally fell, and the light rain fell on the barracks and brought a chill.

A horse dragged a cart full of turnips over a puddle of muddy water, splashing countless mud spots on the trouser legs of the patrolling Cao soldiers, causing the surrounding people to shout and curse, this is just a normal corner of the barracks. The raindrops were heavy, and the two braziers lit by the big tent of the Chinese army were crackling and burning, and the officers and men sitting on both sides were smiling, and with a majestic and gentle voice, the smiling faces became serious.

On the left, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong exchanged expressions, and occasionally whispered a sentence or two, obviously not expecting such content to be in the back of the letter. Behind the long case, Cao Cao squinted his eyes, looked at everyone, and asked in a rather curious tone: "...... If it were you, how would you treat it? ”

"Lord, Gongsun stopped killing Liu Yu in front, it can be seen that he is no different from a tiger and wolf like Lu Bu, and accepting him in will damage the reputation of the lord." Li Dian got up and bowed his hand, spoke for the first time, then looked at the first silent figure in front of him and waved, then retreated and sat down.

Cao Ren, as a general in the Cao camp, is brave and fierce, and must be the first in every battle, but he has always been calm in doing things and speaking, and when he saw his eyes over there, he arched his hand and said: "...... Qi Yu Lord, the last general agreed with what Man Cheng said, Zi and Neng Hui, as a brother is very happy, but Na Gongsun stopped entering Yanzhou, but he will offend Yuan Shao, the lord and Yuan Shao are friends, one south and one north form horns, if it is against the eye, Yanzhou will become a place of four wars, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Although the people in the tent, such as Le Jin, Xiahou Yuan and others, did not speak, they also agreed with what Cao Ren said. Seeing everyone nodding, Xiahoudun puffed out his eyes and patted his thigh: "Meng De, you see that everyone doesn't agree, just take Zihe back, and drive the wolf back, our battle here is not over yet, and the province will cause more trouble." ”

Cao Cao pursed his lips and did not express his position, but simply waved his hand at them: "You all go down and have a good rest, there will be a war tomorrow, and the generals must not slack off." ”

"Yes!"

The Great Tent was shaken.

After everyone got up and left, Cao Cao called the figure in the corner who was also about to leave, slowly put on a big coat, drank the steaming warm wine on the table, and patted the man on the shoulder: "Fengxiao, follow me in the camp." Then he lifted the curtain and came out, and the guards on both sides wanted to keep up but were waved back by him, and the two figures walked in the camp one after the other.

There were soldiers who lit bonfires in the light rain to ward off the spring cold, and patrolling soldiers walked through the rain curtains, and many people looked at them. Cao Cao, who was walking in front, also looked at them and nodded, and the soldiers also responded flatteredly.

"Fengxiao, do you know what is my greatest ambition in this life?" He walked in the rain with his hands in his hands, looking at the busy camp in the rain with a literati atmosphere, and sighed.

Behind him, some thin young men looked bad and faintly pale, and then shook their heads: "I don't know." ”

"You, you drank too late last night?" Cao Cao withdrew his gaze from the hazy rain scene, turned his head to look at him, and continued to walk: "...... This matter, I only mentioned it to Zihe in the past, I wanted to conquer foreign races all my life, and hit the west, and after his death, the tombstone wrote the tomb of General Han Zhengxi and Cao Hou, but ...... If the world is chaotic, it will not be possible to achieve its wish. ”

Guo Jia lowered his head and smiled, followed behind and said, "The lord mentioned this matter at this time, I'm afraid it's for the sake of that grandson." ”

The figure walking in front stopped, looked at the rain curtain drawn from the sky, and fell into his eyes: "This person killed his clan relative Liu Yu, but there is a stain on his body, but this world is ...... Hahaha...... How can there be any clean people! Cao Cao smiled suddenly, and let out a sigh, "...... Gongsun stopped fighting with foreign races on the grassland, which is actually what my Cao Cao yearns for...... If such heroes are forced to die, my heart ......"

Turning around, he patted his chest vigorously.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Restlessβ€”"

A team of soldiers passed over from this side, Guo Jia bowed to the heroic man over there in the rain, straightened up, and said: "Lord, in fact, accepting Gongsun Zhi and offending Yuan Shao is not doing more harm than good, Yuan Shao led Jizhou at the beginning, and after the rebellion of Montenegro, in fact, the foundation is not stable, the people's hearts are uncertain, and the armor is not fine, what is the difference with the lord now?" If you accept Gongsun Zhi, but it has the effect of buying bones with a thousand dollars, people who have never met talents in the world will also see it in their eyes and will come to work. ”

"All the generals in the army are not optimistic, but Feng Xiao has the same idea as me." Cao Cao looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Although Yuan Benchu was my childhood friend, now everyone has their own positions, it is inevitable that they will not fight each other in the future, tear it up, tear it, if you can get Gongsun Zhi, just like the champion of Han Wu, I won't lose it......"

When he said this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Even if you tear your face, at most there will be a feud, Yuan Benchu and his advisers will not dare to go south at will, don't forget that there is still a White Horse General in Youzhou, and now at the moment, the main focus should be on this Yellow Turban Army from Qingzhou." Guo Jia said in the rain, his voice lowered: "...... The lord is now the lord of Yanzhou, don't eliminate this yellow scarf prematurely, when it slowly advances, enter Qingzhou ......"

Over there, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out, Cao Cao pointed at the young scholar, and laughed: "Wen Ruoguo doesn't deceive me, you have a plan in your chest, and driving away the yellow scarf is just an excuse to enter Qingzhou, at least you have to eat a part of it....... so decided." ”

In the distance, Le Jin and Li Dian, who were checking the armaments, came over, looked at the two figures talking and laughing in the rain, and glanced at each other, quite surprised.

Cao Cao is an inscrutable person, sometimes enthusiastic as making friends, and talking about everything. Sometimes he kills without blinking, sometimes he is suspicious by nature, but he is heroic and hot-blooded, but in the same way, this is a charming person.

The two of them who were talking and laughing in the spring rain said a lot, and with the rain curtain went up to the night sky, the wind blew, and the raindrops drifted to the north, and the spots hit the same black. The carriage stopped in place, surrounded by the guards silently, in the carriage, Yuan Shao put down the map, the candle flame reflected the frowning brow, and then looked at the person in front of him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ During the day, Gongsun Zhi suddenly turned east, thinking that he had an insight into the ambush you had set up, but he did not go north to join Gongsun Zhan, but went east, what do you say he wants to do......"

In the carriage, the flames flickered with the air flow of the speech, Guo Tu was shocked, and his neck was tightened, but Feng Ji next to him spoke first: "...... Today, General Zhang came with news, he completely destroyed the Black Mountain thieves, but when he found Zhang Yan, the other party's body had been separated, and he had been dead for a long time, Ji suspected, Gongsun Zhi used us......"

"Utilization?" Yuan Shao's fingers knocked on a few cases and smiled, and then retracted, "It's quite true that Gongsun Zhicai can fight with Lu Bu, but if you want to talk about strategy, I'm afraid it won't." ”

"It's not a matter of ploy." Feng Ji thought for a while, and raised his face: "At the end of last year, he moved to the people of Montenegro to Shanggu County, and he already had an idea in his heart, first encouraging Zhang Yan to start a war with my Jizhou, not to attack Jizhou, but to take those people, but Zhang Yan's reputation in Montenegro is too high, and he will not lose it in the future, so this year's war, he participated, I am afraid the most important thing is to want Zhang Yan's life, not to fight side by side as an ally." ”

"It's really a bad wolf, but what's the use of saying this at this time?" Yuan Shao glanced at him, and his fingers tapped lightly, "The top priority now is to intercept this scurrying wolf, so you can give birth and think about it." ”

"Yes!" The two exited the carriage.

Yuan Shao got up and walked out, stood on the carriage, looked up at the cold silk thread hanging down from the sky, and whispered a few words: "...... What the hell are you doing in the East......

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

Gongsun Zhi, who was also looking at the sky, had just finished a battle.

A group of county soldiers chasing from Guangchuan were charged by several people, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, and fled back to the city in embarrassment. In fact, Gongsun Zhi was not happy to kill an inconspicuous army, this time he went east sharply, and then went south, to Yanzhou, and encountered more cities on the way, if Yuan Shao's generals were to perceive the intention in advance, it was very likely that the two ways to go south and north would be blocked, and the cavalry in their hands would also be trapped in the hinterland of Jizhou and not allowed to escape.

Thinking of this, he slashed at the body of the tree and splashed sawdust.

"It's useless to think so much, I'm a cavalryman...... Unless Lu Bu comes to ......"

Lu Bu...... An idea flashed through Gongsun Zhi's mind.
