"Cao Mengde! You give my son back—"

"Give me back!!"

"I only know that let the whole world know that your Cao Mengde love is as fate, but your son is gone, you haven't even avenged him, so you ran back, and you are not afraid of your son scolding you as a father in your dreams!"

Autumn has arrived, the courtyard came from Ding's cry, the sun moved on people's shoulders through the mottled spots of light in the gap, Cao Cao walked in the shade of the yellowing tree with his hands, since the battle of Wancheng, in the blink of an eye, two long months after Cao Ang's death, Ding couldn't stand the blow of his son's departure, washed his face with tears all day long, as long as he saw his husband would cry and scold, often down, Cao Cao became more and more bored, plus to control the situation in the DPRK and China, there was even a tiger lying in the east, in recent days, the nerves have also become sensitive, suspicious, and killed a lot of anger, Or suspicious people.

Leaving Ding's yard, the crying was far away, Cao Cao returned to the front yard with a calm face and turned around, no one around rushed to disturb him, even Guo Jia, Xun You and others were far away, and soon, he came to the mansion to deal with business, turned over half, and threw it to the side irritably.

“…… Zi Xuan. ”

Cao Cao murmured softly, staring at the long case intently. Outside the hall, Guo Jia stepped over the threshold and came in, and at the same time asked his subordinates to bring warm wine and sat down on the side: "It's been two months since the eldest prince, and the lord should put it down." ”

"Fengxiao, don't come over to talk about this, I have my own considerations." Cao Cao glanced at the young man, and after saying a word, he reached out to serve the wine.

Outside, there were patrolling footsteps, and the autumn light dimmed slightly in the clouds. Guo Jia looked at the steaming heat in the chuckle, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and reached out to get the wine: "Just now, the news came, the white wolf is out of Taihang, has arrived in Hanoi, and will arrive in Xudu at the end of the month." ”

Over there, stopping at his lips, Cao Cao hesitated, then raised his head and gulped down, "He's here to avenge Ziyu?" As he spoke, the wine was thrown on the table, and when a servant came to fill it, he finally smiled a little: "You gave him a letter, it has always been taboo to secretly communicate with each other, be careful that the knife will be on Fengxiao's neck one day." ”

"If the lord is willing to take it, then take it."

Guo Jia listened to his words, did not feel afraid, still kept smiling, took the wine jug from the servant's hand, poured it, and said: "Externally, the white wolf does say that he is avenging Ziyu, but he will not be so stupid, if he really comes to take revenge, why only bring cavalry, not foot soldiers." ”

"Hahaha...... The white wolf's mind is indeed too shallow. Cao Cao swept away some of the gloom, he looked at Guo Jia for a moment, "Since the white wolf is here, let him come over, just let him bring people back, and add officials to the knighthood by the way, his subordinates are not big in official positions now, but there are many people who have led them, and they have seriously overstepped." ”

"That's right." He suddenly remembered the question, "How many people are coming from the white wolf?" ”

Over there, he replied truthfully: "More than 10,000 rides." ”

"This Gongsun stops ......" Cao Cao stood up, took a few steps with his hands, and took a breath: "....... I want to keep me awake, 10,000 cavalry...... The order went down and vacated Yu Ban's military camp, which was far away from Xudu, and the white wolf's cavalry came and camped there. ”

"What about General Yu and his subordinates?"

"Let him and Cao Ren make do with it for a while, so that we can sleep peacefully."

Guo Jia smiled a little when he heard this, and looked at the figure walking around: "The lord is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well, more than 10,000 rides, there must be no baggage, and he will probably rely on Xu Du to supply him." ”

“…… This grandson still can't change the character of a horse thief......" Cao Cao's tone was not annoyed, but he scolded with a smile: "Cao Chun is influenced by this guy, and the tiger and leopard riders who practice are the same as bandits, this time the white wolf is over, I have to let him practice the tiger and leopard riding, eat mine, sit on mine, and I should always teach some cavalry the way." ”

Compared with the joke-like relaxed words here, the same news came to Xu Du, most of the ministers in the court were a little surprised, for this unfamiliar name, once and occasionally in Chang'an, I heard it once or twice, only to know that it was the concubine of the white horse Gongsun Zhan, but I didn't expect the other party to have such a close connection with Cao Cao, and this time, it was with tens of thousands of cavalry, for the Central Plains, which has always lacked horses, it is not only a very terrifying number, but also an immeasurable combat power.

Since the ministers were coerced and deceived into moving the 'Son of Heaven' to Xudu, in many things, they have seen little by little that Cao Cao is not much different from Guo Yan and Li Dao, and the only difference is that he is much gentler. When this news entered this city full of unwillingness, resentment, and flattery, many people hesitated, frowned, and began to run and discuss some ideas that popped into their minds.

At the same time, Shang Shulang, named Wei Qi, hurriedly walked into the palace, away from some of the eyes cast by him, and suddenly walked towards an inconspicuous small door in the side hall, and then pushed it open, and there was already a woman waiting there who had received his news inside.

"Gongsun Zhi is coming to Xudu."

"Oh?" The woman responded softly, a few lights in the room were quiet, the light of the flame rippled into a warm yellow, shrouded in some ambiguous atmosphere, the weather had not yet turned cold, Ren Hongchang, who was wearing a long skirt in the palace and covered with a purple tulle, sat quietly behind the long case, and the rustling of writing came from time to time in his hands, and the mysterious and enchanting looked quiet.

Hearing Wei Qi's hurried words, she slightly curled her slender eyebrows, her writing hand stopped, and her rosy lips opened slightly: "You don't want to be calm and calm in the past, you should be confident, after all, our opportunity has come." ”

"How to calm down!" Wei Qi found a seat nearby and sat down, knocking on it with a bang: "I know this is a good opportunity, but how many soldiers and horses that wolf brings, do you know?" It's clear that the opportunity is right in front of you, but there's no way to start. ”

Ren Hongchang raised his head slightly, "How much did you bring?" ”

"More than 10,000 rides! All of them are his elites in the north, put them in Yanzhou, who can be his opponent in the field! Wei coveted the angry Yao Yao knocked on the table a few more times, grabbed the wine and poured it, and drank it in a big gulp, "Even if you enter the city, there will be hundreds of people following you at any time, not to mention that he has a close relationship with that Cao Cao, and it is difficult to take revenge." ”

The woman seemed to have finished writing, gently put down the pen, stretched out her arms lazily, stretched out her curly legs out of her long skirt, and leaned down: "You readers, it's not good to read too many books, everything pays attention to rules, there are many ways to take revenge, and they don't all rely on the conspiracy of many people or wearing around." ”

"Don't forget, this is Xu Du, he doesn't dare to kill people indiscriminately, but what if he kills people in the court? Cao Sikong still needs to maintain the majesty of the imperial court, what do you say will happen next? ”

"But he has 10,000 cavalry!"

"So what, will Cao Cao let so many soldiers and horses be stationed near Xudu?"

Wei Qi suddenly understood that this was to take advantage of the situation, and couldn't help but nod and smile.

Ren Hongchang also laughed: "Shang Shulang just rest assured, as long as he enters the palace and meets His Majesty, everything will be handled by the concubine." ”

"It turns out that the imperial chief has already had a belly case, so I'll wait and see!" The young man arched his hand, and the whole person relaxed, and he got up and said goodbye and left.

Ren Hongchang stared at his back as he opened the door and left, his smiling face gradually faded, and he got up and snorted coldly: "....... Scholar. Flick his sleeves and drag his long skirt back to the inner palace.

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

In Hanoi County, Wang Kuang was the first to receive the news that the wolf was coming again.

At this time, he was hurrying back to Zhixian from outside.

"The newly trained army should be able to stop this person." A new strategist said next to the hurried figure: "He is a cavalryman, but he can't be allowed to use our Hanoi County as his own backyard so unscrupulously." ”

"It's time to boost morale." Stepping up the stone steps, Wang Kuang dragged his somewhat fat body and looked back at him: "Then what plan do you have to break the enemy?" ”

"Go out of the city and fight, provoke him, and lead to a siege."

As he was talking, a violent horse's hooves shook outside the city, Wang Kuang led the generals to hurriedly climb to the top of the city, his pupils shrank suddenly, it was a piece of raised dust, connecting the heavens and the earth, and the figure of the war horse that could not be seen at a glance galloped from afar, and the rumbling horse's hooves trampled on the ground, even standing on the head of the city, the soles of the feet could feel the tremor.

A huge white wolf, moving between the field of vision amid horns and wolf howls.

Wang Kuang looked behind him, a little trembling strategist, and waved his hand to the guards beside him: "Drag him down for me and cut him down, do your best." ”

At this time, a soldier shouted: "Taishou, there is a rider coming from the opposite side." ”

The strategist was being dragged down, Wang Kuang frowned and looked at the rushing horseman, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the guard, probably thinking that if Gongsun Zhi forced him to surrender, he would still be able to make suggestions to defend the city together.

Thinking about it, under the city wall, the wolf rode his horse and stopped not far away, and shouted to the city: "The leader of my family asks the Taishou to provide some dry food." ”

Hearing this, Wang Kuang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the strategist who was also relieved, and waved his hand: "It's better to drag it down and kill it." ”

"I ...... Grass ......" The strategist opened his mouth slightly, and was dragged away before he could speak.

Soon after, several carts carrying dried meat, preserved fruits, and most of the dried food of the cake were transported to the barbaric cavalry team, and Wang Kuang stood at the head of the city and watched the other party take these things, and then returned to the mansion with ease, and continued to live a peaceful life.

Time, November 30, at the end of the month, the southbound 10,000 horsemen crossed the Yellow River and came to Cao Cao, who was twenty miles north of Xudu, and went out of the city to greet him, looked at the huge cavalry team on the galloping field on horseback, and put down his hand: "Only the many pastures in the north dare to raise cavalry as unscrupulously as Gongsun." ”

After a while, the cavalry that had stopped running formed a phalanx, and only a few hundred horsemen came towards this side, and the familiar figure gradually became clear in his sight.

Cao Cao and the family generals around him, such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Cao Ren and others sat on horseback, and when they saw the horse team coming, their faces became solemn from the beginning of the discussion, and they straightened their waists and chests steadily, and in front of hundreds of people opposite, the figure headed by a red cloak and plush iron armor exuded an iron-blooded atmosphere, and the roaring cavalry behind them also made people dare not despise it.

"The white wolf is coming." Cao Cao smiled and said to the people behind him, and slowly greeted him with a horse's belly.

The two sides were close to each other, but a few zhang away, Gongsun Zhile stopped his horse, and when he turned over and dismounted, hundreds of horsemen behind him and Dian Wei Li Ke also turned off the horse. Cao Cao looked at the neat and smooth movements, and couldn't help but be a little envious, he got off the horse and stretched out his arms towards the figure who came over, and Gongsun Zhi also stretched out his arms to meet him.

The two hugged and laughed.

"It's time for me to change my name to Sikong."

"Gongsun wants to be promoted, it's okay to say it, I'll go to the court tomorrow to seal one for you, but today I have set up a banquet in the mansion, Gongsun is the first time to come to Xudu, no matter what, tonight I want to give you the wind and dust!"

"Sleeping in the open all the way, just open your belly to eat."

Gongsun Zhi raised his hand, and then the two rode into the city side by side.
