Because it was not very far from Bishui Pass, Cao Cao and his party soon came to Bishui Pass, only to see that the door was closed, and on the wall, only three or three soldiers were on duty, but they were laughing at the wind and did not take it to heart.

Seeing someone coming, the armor soldiers restrained a little, and one of them shouted, "Who is coming?" ”

Before Cao Cao could speak, the irascible Xiahou Dun had already taken a few steps forward, stared at him like a clock, and pointed at the armor soldier who opened his mouth to ask and roared: "My general Cao is here, and if you don't open the door quickly, do you want to eat me!" ”

"It turned out to be General Cao Mengde Cao, rude and rude." The armor soldier replied with a smile, he didn't pay too much attention to it at all, the matter of Yuan Shao sending Cao Cao to Xingyang had already spread, and now when he saw Cao Cao only a few people, he suddenly had no awe in his heart.

But even so, the armor soldier still ordered the door to be opened, after all, Cao Cao is also a prince, if he ignores it too much, I am afraid it will cause the other princes to be unhappy.

After opening the gate, the armor soldier saw that Cao Cao and his party did not enter the gate immediately, and shouted impatiently: "Hurry up and go in, otherwise I will close the door." ”

"You ......"

Xiahoudun was suddenly like a lit powder keg, and wanted to scold, but Cao Cao waved his hand to stop him.

Cao Cao looked back at Xiahoudun, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't show any anger, and said softly: "You must know that the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, why should you care too much?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao turned his head expressionlessly, stepped forward on his horse, and went straight into the pass, and Mo Shuyan and the three of them also kept silent and hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun could only follow indignantly and rode his horse to follow, no longer looking at the stinky face of the armorer.

Quietly staring at Cao Cao's back, Mo Shuyan was impressed, if it was replaced by himself, being humiliated by such a small role, it would definitely be unbearable, and he would be quick after wanting to kill, he didn't expect Cao Cao to be so forbearing.

This may be the informality of those who achieve great things, Mo Shuyan thought secretly.

After entering the customs, Cao Cao took the lead, and everyone accelerated and went straight to the Allied garrison, as if they vented their anger in their hearts in galloping horses.

The news of Cao Cao's entry into the customs soon reached the ears of Yuan Shao, who was gathering the princes to discuss together.

After getting this news, Yuan Shao showed a mocking look on his face, and smiled at the princes in the camp: "Princes, do you know who entered the customs just now? ”

"I wonder who can attract the attention of the alliance leader?" Gongsun Chan said with a haha.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao took a sip of tea without hurry, and said indifferently: "Of course, it is our General Cao Mengde Cao, with four subordinates, who are coming here in a beautiful manner. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the princes were stunned for a moment, and they were all smiling, but they didn't know whether they were really smiling or fake.

Just as everyone was laughing, the tent door was wide open, Cao Cao just took Mo Shuyan and walked into the tent, while Li Dian and the three stayed outside the tent.

When the princes saw Cao Cao coming, they all immediately restrained their smiles, but Yuan Shao still laughed non-stop, took another sip of tea, raised the corners of his eyebrows, and looked at Cao Cao with flickering eyes and smiled: "Meng De is here, what is the matter?" If you want to borrow soldiers, I'm afraid that the leader of this alliance can't help you, so I can't lend you all the soldiers under him. ”

When Mo Shuyan heard this, he was very angry, this Yuan Shaoming knew that Cao Cao's soldiers were almost wiped out, and he proposed it so directly, it was simply a naked slap in the face.

But Mo Shuyan turned his face sideways, but he didn't see the slightest change in the expression on Cao Cao's face, it seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and the person Yuan Shao was referring to was not him at all.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't intend to speak at all, Yuan Shao didn't want to mention the matter again, so he could only gesture to Yuan Shu on his right hand with his eyes.

Seeing this, Yuan Shu smiled knowingly, instantly understood what Yuan Shao meant, nodded lightly to Yuan Shao, got up and said to Cao Cao: "General Cao, if the losses are really heavy, don't be embarrassed to say it, everyone is brothers, and there is still a vacancy for the position of commander under my account, which can be given to General Cao." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes froze, but he still didn't speak, but just glanced at Yuan Shu deeply and resumed his silence again.

Mo Shuyan on the side was quite puzzled in his heart, what happened to Cao Cao today, it was not like his style at all, he repeatedly endured the ridicule of the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu but did not refute it.

Mo Shuyan really wanted to help Cao Cao speak, but after all, his identity was Cao Cao's subordinate, and now Cao Cao had lost power, if he spoke first, if Yuan Shao intended to make things difficult, I am afraid that it would be difficult for Cao Cao to protect himself.

Maybe it was because he couldn't stand what the two Yuan Shao brothers did, or maybe it was because he hated Yuan Shu's refusal to allocate food before, Sun Jian sat on the seat and said coldly: "Yuan Shu, you humiliate the princes of one side so much, but do you have the idea of taking into account the princes here, is it possible that in the future, when our power is weakened, you will also mock us like this?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shu was speechless, and he still agreed with Sun Jian's statement in his heart, if anyone loses power, he will naturally be looked down upon by other princes, but now that Yuan Shaogui is the leader of the alliance, if he says it, I am afraid that he will be detached from morality.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was helpless and was commanded by Sun Jian, Yuan Shao hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, and said with a smile: "The words are serious, there is no need to make such a big fuss, this topic has been revealed." ”

Since Yuan Shao came out to make peace, Sun Jian was naturally not too tough, so he could only snort coldly and stop talking, Yuan Shu had a step down, and he hurriedly went down the steps to prevent Yuan Shao from making it difficult for him.

After solving this matter, Yuan Shao pointed the finger at Cao Cao again, slowly knocked on the desk with his right hand, put on a look of embarrassment on his face, and said to Cao Cao: "Brother Meng De, now your strength is indeed not as good as before, and you need a period of recuperation, why don't you retreat outside the border, rest and recuperate, and then make plans?" ”

As for this, if Cao Cao didn't answer again, he was afraid that he would make the princes look down on him, his expression changed, Cao Cao clasped his fists with both hands and looked at Yuan Shao, and said in a low voice: "There is the master of the Labor League who is bothered, and Meng De also thinks that it is time to go back to the customs to recuperate for a while, so he specially came here to resign." ”

"Since Meng De has this intention, it is even better, I don't need to come in person, just send a subordinate to make an announcement, why bother?" Yuan Shao was suddenly overjoyed, got up and said with a straight face.

Cao Cao's words instantly made Mo Shuyan beside him stunned on the spot, I asked Cao Cao to get out of Yuan Shao's control, and did not say that he wanted to retreat outside the customs to recuperate, in this way, what else can be improved.

Without waiting for Mo Shuyan to think about it, Cao Cao suddenly raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Yuan Shao quietly and said, "Before Meng De leaves, I still hope to settle accounts with the alliance leader." ”

After speaking, the camp tent was suddenly silent and silent.
