Yuan Shao fled back north of the Yellow River and fled to Yecheng under the escort of the few hundred remaining Yuan troops.

Cao Cao led a large army across the Yellow River and captured the cities north of the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, the Yuan army held all the way along the way, and the Cao army advanced very hard.

Youzhou Yuan Xi and Bingzhou Gaogan, Yuan Shang and others led troops to intercept them, making the war stalemate.

In Guandu, Yuan Shao's army was defeated, and Cao Cao also knew that there were not enough soldiers and horses under his command, but Hebei was a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen, and it was impossible to take it for a while.

The supply line was too long, and in order to avoid falling into a battle to the death, Cao Cao ordered the army to withdraw to Xudu.

On the way to withdraw the army, Cao Cao asked people to bring the Yuan family who were captured in the battle of Guandu to the front.

The former staff and generals of the Yuan family surrendered to Cao Cao one after another, but they refused to obey the death.

In the tent, Cao Cao sat at the top, and Fu Zhi stood in front of him under the watchful eye of two guards.

"Fu Gong, you really refuse to follow me?" Cao Cao asked Xiang Fu.

"I have been favored by Yuan Gong for many years, and now that the Yuan family has failed, how can I bear to give it up?" Frustrated and said: "Cao Gong is kind, I understand it. ”

"In the battle of Guandu, if Yuan Benchu was willing to listen to the words of the frustrated prince, the result would not be what it is now." Cao Cao said: "If the words are not adopted, does Duke Fu really think that it is necessary to follow Yuan Shao?" ”

"As a staff member, it is impossible to be taken on board every suggestion." Fu Zhu said: "There are hundreds of staff members under the command of Cao Gong, and not everyone will be accepted by Cao Gong. ”

was frustrated, but Cao Cao was not annoyed.

He smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Fu Gong should go back and think about it, if you are willing to help me, Hebei will fall into my hands sooner or later, Fu Gong will make great contributions, of course I will not treat you badly." ”

"Cao Gong is kind, frustrated and respectful." Fu Zhu said: "As for serving Cao Gong, I don't dare to agree. ”

Fu Zhu never agreed to serve Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had no choice but to wave his hand and say, "Take Fu Gong down to rest." ”

The two guards escorted him out of the tent.

Not far from the tent, two Cao soldiers gathered together and whispered something.

"Childe is expected to kill the Cao Guild, let's wait here." One of the soldiers said: "But I see that Cao Gong is still very polite to him, and he has no intention of killing him at all." ”

Just looking at the back, I thought it was an ordinary soldier who spoke.

When you look at his face clearly, you will find that he is Chen Wu, the captain of the Fire Dance Battalion!

Liu Shuang, who was also wearing soldier armor with him, said: "Gongzi said that the Cao Guild would kill him, and he would definitely kill him, as long as the two of us were ready, when the Cao Gong was about to do it, we would steal the frustration." ”

"Did you say that Childe did a little too much this time?" Chen Wu said: "First asked General Lu to tie up Guo Jia, and then asked the two of us to wait here to steal the award. In case it is known by Cao Gong......"

"How could Cao Gong not know." Liu Shuang said: "The son wants to use frustration, once he shows up, all things will be clear to Cao Gong." ”

"Even so, Childe still dares to do this?" Chen Wu was stunned.

"Have you seen a few things in the world that Childe didn't dare to do?" Liu Shuang pursed his lips: "Our son-in-law's courage is not comparable to ordinary people. ”

"According to me, he also relied on Cao Gong's favor to dare to do this again and again." Chen Wu sighed and said, "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will cause a big disaster." ”

"Cao Gong loves talents, and Gongzi loves talents even more." Liu Shuang said: "Childe still has the ability, that is, to say that people who didn't plan to serve are willing to serve." ”

"Of course I know Childe's skills." Chen Wu said: "Stealing the frustration is not a big deal for the two of us, I'm just worried about ......"

"What's there to worry about?" Liu Shuang patted his arm: "Let's just stare here, there is a son on the top of the big things." Since we followed Childe, when did he let us carry things. ”

Chen Wu nodded, and he was no longer entangled.

Leaving Cao Cao's tent, he was not idle when he returned to the tent.

He quietly took out an unworn garment and wrapped the food brought by the guards inside.

The weather is already getting colder.

The food is wrapped in clothes, and there is no fear that it will spoil.

Changing into a new pair of comfortable shoes, he sat in the tent as if waiting for something.

When Cao Cao summoned him, it was already approaching dusk.

I didn't have to wait long in the tent before it got dark.

When it was getting dark, it was the perfect time to do something.

"Come on, I want to be respectful." Frustrated shouted out of the tent.

One of the guards entered the tent, clenching his fists and bowing his head towards the frustrated.

Standing up, he picked up the garment with the dry food.

"Frustrated Gong, do you still want to bring something?" The guard asked.

"I'll throw it away." Frustrated said.

"What does the frustrated prince do, just tell us." The guard said: "Don't work hard and do it yourself. ”

As he spoke, he was about to step forward to pick up the burden of frustration.

He hid behind him and said to the guards, "Of course I don't want people to see what's in it. ”

Although Fu Zhu was a prisoner, Cao Cao valued him very much.

The guard didn't dare to grab it, so he had to say, "It's good if the frustrated prince is happy." ”

Walking out of the tent, he was walking forward under the escort of two guards, and was met by a group of people.

It was Cao Hong who came with this group of people.

Seeing that Fu Gong was carrying a burden in his hand, Cao Hong stepped forward to stop him and asked, "Where is Fu Gong going?" ”

"I'll go to Gong." He replied.

After carefully looking at Fu Zhu from head to toe, Cao Hong asked: "Fu Gong is frustrated, do you still need to wear a pair of new shoes, and you also carry a burden?" ”

"The old shoes are torn, and there are some things in the baggage that I want to throw away." Frustrated replied.

"I'm going to see what Fu Gong brings, it should be fine, right?" Cao Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked Fu Zhi.

"Is my stuff a little inappropriate for the general to see?" Frustrated asked rhetorically.

"Don't forget that you're still a prisoner." Cao Hong said: "If the referendum votes for Cao Gong, it will be a different matter. Of course I'm not going to search for any more frustration stuff. ”

"Search!" Ignoring the obstruction of frustration, Cao Hong coldly commanded the soldiers behind him.

Two soldiers stepped forward and snatched the burden from Frustrated.

When opened, the contents of the dry food were revealed.

Standing in front of the burden, Cao Hong looked down at the dry food: "These are the dry foods?" I see that you are not going to throw it, but you are going to flee the barracks with these. ”

The matter was exposed, and Frustration turned his face to the side.

"Give me the frustration and send it to ask Cao Gong to send it." Cao Hong gave the order to the soldiers.

The two soldiers stepped forward to restrain him, and Cao Hong personally lifted the burden full of dry food.
