For a while, there was silence in the tent, and the falling needles could be heard, and after a long time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not make the slightest movement, except for the blink of an eye to prove that the two of them were alive, like stone statues, still and still.

This can make the three Zhang Lie on the side unbearable, this atmosphere, like a pair of hands, gradually clenched the necks of the three people, and continued to increase the force, making the three of them seem to feel suffocated.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew into the tent, which seemed to dilute the dull atmosphere in the tent.

On the main seat, Cao Cao raised his sleeve robe lightly, his eyes were like tigers, and he said in a cold tone: "If Cao's thoughts are true, according to the distance from Youzhou to Xingyang, according to the hurry, Brother Xuande should have arrived here before Cao's army attacked Xingyang, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lie and the three of them reacted instantly and understood everything in it, if it was really what Cao Cao said, then Liu Bei's thoughts were really a little unpleasant.

And Liu Bei, when he heard Cao Cao point it out, immediately did not hide it at all, and replied directly: "I did arrive before Cao's army attacked. ”

"Bang."

Hearing this, Cao Cao slapped the table and got up, his face was full of anger, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes, he thought that Liu Bei would hide it, but he didn't expect him to admit it directly, and he didn't have any fear at all.

"Liu Xuande, you are trying in vain to make the Cao army and the Xingyang defenders lose both, and now that you are in the Cao camp, are you not afraid of being in a different place?" Cao Cao said coldly.

After speaking, Cao Cao did not find the slightest cowardice on Liu Bei's face, as if everything had never been taken to Liu Bei's heart.

I saw Liu Bei holding his hands behind, holding his head high, and replied with an incomparably positive face: "If today, there are many princes, and sooner or later there will be a war, I can come to persuade Brother Meng De to withdraw from the army, it is already a benevolent and righteous act, how can I ask for more?" ”

Staring at Cao Cao's eyes full of anger, Liu Bei never flinched, even if he was in Cao Ying?

Zhang Lie and the three of them on the side had already retreated slightly, turned each other into horns, and quietly surrounded Liu Bei, just waiting for Cao Cao's order, they took Liu Bei down and waited for disposal.

However, in the end, Cao Cao still put away his anger, sat down on his own, his expression was calm as if he had changed a person, he returned to his indifferent appearance, and said softly: "Zhang Lie obeys orders." ”

At this time, Zhang Lie was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Cao Cao to change his face so quickly.

Seeing that Zhang Lie didn't pay attention, Cao Cao snorted coldly and said again: "Zhang Lie takes the order!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Hong, who was beside Zhang Lie, hurriedly bumped into Zhang Lie secretly, and Zhang Lie, who came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and returned on one knee, bowing his head to receive the order.

In this situation, Cao Cao didn't bother to worry about Zhang Lie, and directly ordered: "Send you to escort Brother Xuande back to Youzhou, and then escort Mr. Yunyi back to Chen Liu, take the best military doctor, and set off immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No."

How dare Zhang Lie refute anything, anyway, this assignment Zhang Lie himself wants to do.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Lie got up directly, turned to face Liu Bei, raised his left hand slightly, and motioned for Liu Bei to leave.

Sighing lightly, Liu Bei didn't stop, and turned around and left directly, since Cao Cao was determined not to let Mo Shuyan stay in Youzhou for a moment, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't do anything, after all, Mo Shuyan was also a person under Cao Cao's account.

After Liu Bei and Zhang Lie left, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong glanced at each other, and also found a reason to retire with interest, leaving only Cao Cao with an expressionless face in the camp.
