"Lord Shangxian~~" Cao Cao respectfully bowed his hand to Ma Xiaoquan beside him.

Ma Xiaoquan had long known that Cao Cao would hold an emergency meeting in the middle of the night, so when Cao Cao sent his subordinates to call Ma Xiaoquan, he had already been prepared.

Seeing Cao Cao's anxious face, Ma Xiaoquan comforted: "Xiao Cao, the matter has come to this, it's useless for you to be anxious, what do you think now?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he howled loudly, and after a while, Cao Cao choked up and said, "Lord Shangxian Shangxian, I want to avenge my father!" ”

Cao Cao stammered, coupled with a crying voice, Ma Xiaoquan had a hard time listening, but Xun Yu on the side nodded one after another as if he had found a fellow practitioner.

Everyone saw that Cao Cao's feelings were not very stable, so they silently watched Cao Cao vent his feelings.

After a long while, Cao Cao stabilized a little.

"Everyone" Cao Cao, who is no longer crying, although he still snorts twice from time to time, at least he no longer stutters.

Everyone raised their heads and waited for Cao Cao to speak.

Cao Cao arched his hand to everyone, bowed to Ma Xiaoquan again, and said, "I'm sorry everyone, my feelings are a little unstable." ”

Everyone can understand Cao Cao's apology, after all, his own son was killed like this, and it would be painful for anyone to change him.

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Xiao Cao, since you want to avenge your father, you sue me, what do you want to do?" ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "I want to attack Xuzhou!" ”

When Xun Yu and Cheng Yu heard this, their brows furrowed slightly.

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, since ancient times, it is justified to send troops, if it is simply to avenge Lord Cao, I am afraid that it will be unstable from the beginning." ”

Cao Cao roared: "I avenge my father, what is there to fight steadily?" Am I just watching my father's tragic death? ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, what this Ying Shao said may not be true, please ask the lord to think twice."

Cao Cao waved his hand: "Think twice? Three or four fucking toes, Lao Tzu's father is dead, and he still thinks about a fart, Tao Qian, I Cao Cao and you are incompatible"

The more Cao Cao spoke, the more excited he became, and his subordinates persuaded him one by one, but Cao Cao didn't listen to the persuasion, that is, he wanted to send troops to attack Tao Qian.

Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and other generals all set their eyes on Ma Xiaoquan, and their eyes were full of please.

Ma Xiaoquan knew that at this moment, only he, the "Immortal Lord", could suppress Cao Cao.

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, laughed, and suddenly stretched out a kick and kicked Cao Cao to the ground.

Cao Cao, who was angry, just wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the pale red flames that had already ignited in the palm of the Shangxian Lord's hand, Cao Cao was stunned again. However, although his heart is cowardly, in terms of momentum, Cao Cao is still tough.

Cao Cao said: "Lord Shangxian, what do you mean by this? ”

"Whew~" Ma Xiaoquan blew out the flames in his palms and pulled Cao Cao up, "Xiao Cao, do you remember that the impulse I told you before is the devil?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and nodded honestly.

Ma Xiaoquan continued: "Since you admit it, why don't you listen to your loyal subordinates who persuade you? ”

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangxian, it's not that I don't listen, it's my father."

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand to stop Cao Cao from explaining: "It's not that you won't take revenge, what Zhong De said is right, since ancient times, there must be a reason for sending troops, can you really conclude that Tao Qian killed people just based on the words of Ying Shao's family?" ”

Cao Cao was silent.

Ma Xiaoquan continued: "So, this immortal thinks that you should take revenge, but what about this revenge, you have to find a reason, right?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded.

The generals couldn't help but sigh when they saw that the lord was gradually quiet, Cao Hong secretly cast a grateful look at Ma Xiaoquan, and the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan simply gave a thumbs up with both hands.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, pulled Cheng Yu out, and said to Cao Cao: "Xiao Cao, in fact, you want to beat Tao Qian, there is really a reason, Zhong De told me about this a few days ago, but Zhong De hasn't told you yet, I'm afraid you won't agree." ”

Cao Cao's affection was much more stable, he waved his hand and said to Cheng Yu: "Cheng Yu, you can say anything you have." ”

Cheng Yu bowed respectfully to Ma Xiaoquan and Cao Cao, and said: "Lord Shangxian, lord, I heard that there is a person named Que Xuan in Xiapi, who gathered a group of rabble and claimed to be the Son of Heaven, and that Tao Qian even secretly colluded with Que Xuan It is said that the two of them have captured several places."

Before Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Cao Cao grabbed Cheng Yu: "What you said is true?" ”

Cheng Yu nodded, pointed at Xun Yu and said, "Wen Ruo can testify, this news is still Wen Ruo's complaint to me." ”

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, Xun Yu at this time, blushing, not knowing what to say.

Xun Yu's original intention was not to let Cao Cao send troops to attack Tao Qian so quickly, after all, now that the foundation of Yanzhou is not stable, coupled with the endurance of the lord Cao Cao, who has repeatedly provoked the lord Cao Cao, if it wasn't for his own persuasion several times, the other side would have hung up long ago Of course, Xun Yu did not object to the lord attacking Xuzhou, Xuzhou is a strategic place, and taking Xuzhou is equivalent to choking the throat of many forces, this point, Xun Yu has long been analyzed by the lord Cao Cao.

Cao Cao didn't know Xun Yu's thoughts, he stepped forward, grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "Those who know me, Wen Ruoye!" Pass my order and prepare ordnance supplies"

Cao Cao walked out of the camp in high spirits, leaving a group of civil and military officers looking at each other.

After a long time, Xiahou had the courage to ask Ma Xiaoquan: "Lord Shangxian, why do I think that the lord doesn't seem to care about the death of Lord Cao?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan is not easy to answer this question.

Because history does not say whether Cao Cao values the father-son relationship between him and Cao Song, Ma Xiaoquan decisively chose to remain silent.

When everyone saw that the immortal lord stopped talking, they felt bored, and after a while, only Cheng Yu and Ma Xiaoquan were left in the camp.

Cheng Yu looked around and made sure that everyone was gone, so he handed over to Ma Xiaoquan and said: "Lord Shangxian, in fact, I think the lord has long coveted Xuzhou." ”

Ma Xiaoquan snorted and smiled, but did not answer.

Cheng Yu continued: "But I think the lord is going to lose this lie!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan still smiled and didn't answer.

Cheng Yu analyzed: "The main public grain and grass are insufficient, I'm afraid I can't fight for a long time!" ”

At this time, Ma Xiaoquan opened his mouth and asked Cheng Yu: "Since you can see it, why do you want to provoke your father-in-law to attack Xuzhou?" ”

Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Lord Shangxian doesn't know, today, there are Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Hebei, Zhang Yang in Hedong, and Yuan Shu in Huainan, none of them are easy to mess with, and Tao Qian in Xuzhou, compared to these people, is the best fight, if you are a Shangxian adult, do you think you should seize this opportunity?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "What a smart Cheng Zhongde, that's right, if you were an immortal, you wouldn't let go of this opportunity, but this immortal doesn't participate in your world disputes, so this immortal is just talking." ”

Cheng Yu smiled: "Lord Shangxian, in fact, you have already calculated that the main guild has failed, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan was shocked, and said in his heart: I can't count it, but Cao Cao's first attack on Xuzhou in history did retreat because of the lack of food and grass, and Cheng Yu is really smart.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, just smiled.

Cheng Yu said: "Lord Shangxian, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Say it, in front of me, you can say anything, you don't have to hide it?" ”

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'm thinking, one day, if Lord Shangxian stands on the opposite side of the lord, then wouldn't we?"

When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he laughed: "Cheng Zhongde, Cheng Zhongde, you are really smart, but don't worry, what should you do, this immortal is free to measure, of course, if you or Xiao Cao, or other people want to do anything to the family members of this immortal, this immortal will definitely not let you go, this is the bottom line of this immortal." I believe you also know that this immortal sword and gun are not afraid, and they are also immortal, and it is still very easy to kill a few people or a few people."

Cheng Yu also learned a lot about Ma Xiaoquan's ability to resist fire, in addition to seeing some of it at the previous moment just now, from the mouths of Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others.

Cao Hong once said that the flame in the hands of the Immortal can burn a person alive.

Cao Ren said even more exaggeratedly, saying that Lord Shangxian could throw fireballs in the air and burn people to death from a hundred miles away

Regardless of whether what Cao Hong and Cao Ren said is true or not, Cheng Yu still has scruples, after all, he is a mortal and a courtier, as a mortal, as a courtier, he should know what it means to be flexible and what it means to seek perfection.

Therefore, as soon as Ma Xiaoquan's words fell, Cheng Yu arched his hand and compensated Ma Xiaoquan, and promised that no matter what the Shangxian Lord does in the future, he Cheng Yu will unconditionally stand on the side of the Shangxian Lord, of course, except for betraying the lord Cao Cao.

Ma Xiaoquan admired Cheng Yu's superiority, and at the same time secretly sighed that when he was expelled from the army, why didn't he know how to be flexible, otherwise, he should still stay in the special forces brigade

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and walked out of the camp. Outside the hall, one of Cao Cao's cadres has already begun to reorganize the ordnance in full swing.

Early the next morning, Xiahoudun reported to Cao Cao that the ordnance had been sorted out and he was waiting for the lord's order to set off.

Cao Cao immediately announced the order: with Xiahoudun as the vanguard of the front, responsible for the raid to open the way; With Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren as the two wings, responsible for the surrounding situation, Li Dianle entered the palace; As for Cao Hong, due to the hard protection of the Xingyang Breakout Battle (chapters 36 and 37 of the first volume), Cao Cao arranged him by his side; As for Cheng Yu and Xun Yu, Cao Cao ordered them to stay in Juancheng (this Nian juan).

After Cao Cao finished deploying, he respectfully came to Ma Xiaoquan's side, and arched his hand: "Lord Shangxian, how is my arrangement?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Not bad, Xiaocao, you are doing very well, okay, there is nothing wrong with this immortal, why don't you go with you to see, what do you think?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "It's an honor to have Lord Shangxian stoop to walk with me!" ”
