Chapter 13: Cao Cao's Wooing
The cold wind of the night kept blowing the white tents, and the wooden bars around the camps were tightly surrounding several large tents. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General Cao, there is a person outside the door who said that the lord came to visit the lord, saying what is his name Qiao Xuan." The sergeant came to the big tent and reported to a school general.
"Got it, you go and entertain the good life, and I'll go and tell the lord."
"No!" The first soldier hurriedly ran back to the gate of the camp and waited for the order.
The colonel in front of the tent lowered his head and thought for a while, then opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, "Lord, Captain Qiao is here to visit." ”
"What? Isn't he following Sun Jian in the fight against the water pass? Don't? Cao Cao didn't care about his headache and continued to say to Cao Ren: "Zixiao, hurry up and welcome Qiao Lao for me." ”
"No!" Cao Ren held the sword behind his waist and turned out of the camp.
Cao Cao picked up the shoes next to the bed and put them on, poured another bowl of water to drink, and guessed Qiao Xuan's intention in his heart.
Soon, Cao Ren brought Qiao Xuan and the others to Cao Cao's tent, Liu Mang looked at the honest-looking Cao Ren, and knew that he was not as simple as he looked. Thinking of Cao Cao's defeat in the Battle of Chibi in Romance, Cao Renzhen's defense of Jiangling dragged Zhou Yu for a year, otherwise Cao Cao's hegemony would have collapsed long ago. Among the many generals on the Wei side, Liu Mang admired Cao Ren the most.
"General Cao Ren, the two young ladies of the Qiao family were frightened just now, I wonder if we can arrange a place for them to rest temporarily?"
"Oh! That's no problem. Cao Ren hurriedly summoned a guard to lead Er Qiao down.
The reason why Liu Mang broke up Er Qiao was really to take into account the poem that has been passed down through the ages, although Er Qiao is not a wife now, but I am not sure if Cao Cao is really only interested in wives.
"Please, two! The lord is already waiting for the two of them. Cao Ren said politely.
Entering the camp, Cao Cao was still wearing a white pajamas, which did not show that he disrespected Qiao Xuan, on the contrary, Cao Cao was very enthusiastic. Cao Cao, who was dressed in pajamas, gave people a very friendly feeling.
"Cao Cao, who was born late, saw Taiwei, and Cao suddenly felt a little headache, so he didn't go out to greet him in person, and I hope that Taiwei will not blame!" People often remember the people who helped them best when they are in a low place, and Cao Cao is indeed very respectful to Qiao Xuan.
"Meng De has seen the outside, although Qiao is now concerned about the Han Dynasty, he is no longer the captain of the Han Dynasty, but just Meng De's old friend." Qiao Xuan didn't put on the posture of an elder at all, but regarded himself as an equal generation with Cao Cao.
"Huh! It's Meng De, please take a seat. After Cao Cao asked Qiao Xuan and Liu Mang to sit down, he personally poured a bowl of water for the two of them to drink.
"Who is this hero?" Cao Cao heard the conversation between Liu Mang and Qiao Xuan as early as when Liu Bei arrived, and he had long admired Liu Mang's insight in his heart.
"Liu Mang and Liu Ziding are a guest in Qiaogong's mansion." Without waiting for Qiao Xuan to reply, Liu Mang preemptively answered Cao Cao.
"Huh! I know Qiao Gong very well, Zi Ding is not only Qiao Gong's guest, but also my Cao Cao's guest, when I have any need here, just ask. Cao Cao said with a smile.
Where could Liu Mang not understand what Cao Cao meant, this was inviting Qiao Xuan and himself to join him. I have to say that this is an excellent opportunity, and it is naturally a good tree to take refuge in the strongest Wei State of the Three Kingdoms. If this is just an ordinary Three Kingdoms world, Liu Mang will definitely agree without hesitation. It was only after seeing the battle between Huaxiong and Zu Mao that Liu Mang understood that the strength of the generals in the romance could not be compared with the generals here, if he hadn't been prepared a long time ago, prepared the horses on the side of the camp, and forcibly pulled Qiao Xuan away to run away in advance, maybe his life would be gone now. However, when he ran away, with the blessing of Xiao Qiao, he cut down a few You Yong, and Liu Mang's level was upgraded to level 3.
But level 3 is at most just the worst and worst soldiers, think about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei next to Liu Bei, the future five tiger generals of Shu Kingdom. Liu Mang has no bottom in his heart, it is not certain whether Cao Cao can beat Liu Bei, and before he finds out this, Liu Mang will not easily take refuge in any party.
"General Cao, Sun Jian is defeated." Since he couldn't answer, Liu Mang had to divert the topic.
"What? Sun Jian defeated? Even if he loses with Sun Jian's bravery, it is impossible to defeat so quickly? Cao Cao stood up in surprise.
Liu Mang hurriedly explained the matter to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao said straight that this Huaxiong is not easy to deal with, "Go, follow me to the princes' discussion camp, they are still discussing the matter of defeating Dong at the moment." ”
Cao Cao was about to leave the camp after getting dressed, and Liu Mang behind him called Cao Cao, "General Cao, I will stop Wuchenghou later, don't let him fight with Yuan Shu." ”
Listening to Liu Mang's brainless words, Cao Cao was very puzzled, but the matter was urgent. Sun Jian is defeated, Hua Xiong will definitely take advantage of the victory to tackle the key problems, and he must discuss with the princes as soon as possible.
As Cao Cao entered the big tent together, the princes were discussing what to discuss and what to do, and they were watching the song and dance performances and bragging. Cao Cao walked towards Yuan Shao and whispered a few words in his ear, and Yuan Shao immediately changed his face and asked the maiko to retreat.
But before Yuan Shao could speak, Sun Jian, who was covered in blood with anger on his face, rushed in, pulled out his knife, and shouted: "Yuan Shu'er is killed!" ”
Yuan Shu didn't know what Sun Jian meant in his heart, and when he saw Sun Jian slashing at himself with a knife, he immediately overturned the desk in front of him and hurriedly hid behind Yuan Shao.
"Hold him up!" Yuan Shao's face was unhappy, he had just learned the news of Sun Jian's defeat in Meng Dena, and he hadn't held him responsible for the defeat, so he gasped first.
More than a dozen soldiers immediately rushed out and framed Sun Jian and suppressed him.
"Wu Chenghou, what do you mean by this? I haven't held you accountable for defeat, so why did you come up and fight and kill? Yuan Shao still asked withholdingly.
"You ask Yuan Shu!" Sun Jian looked at Yuan Shu's eyes, and continued angrily with a look of eagerness to eat Yuan Shu: "Yuan Shu'er cut off my grain and grass, my army burned the grain and grass for this trip because of the sneak attack by Huaxiong, I left and sent people and horses back to replenish the grain, who knew that Yuan Shu delayed for no reason and did not send me grain and grass." If my army could replenish the grain and grass in time, how could it end up like this, my brother Zu Mao died in the battle for covering me! Yuan Shuxiao'er, you take your life! ”
The more Sun Jian said, the more angry he became, this grain and grass was handed over to Yuan Shu for management when he was in the alliance, although the grain and grass he brought with him on this trip was burned, but what he wanted back was only the grain and grass he brought from Changsha, why did Yuan Shu not send it?
"Brother Wentai is angry, if you have something to say!" Cao Cao then remembered Liu Mang's words when he came out of his camp, and hurriedly came out to persuade him.
Yuan Shao actually wanted Sun Jian to cut Yuan Shu's goods, but as the leader of his coalition forces, it seemed that he had to help this unsuccessful younger brother wipe his ass.
"Highway! What's going on? ”
"I, how do I know?" Yuan Shu knew that he had played big this time, and he wanted to take this opportunity to teach Sun Jian a good lesson, who told him that he only had Yuan Shao in his eyes, and he didn't take himself in his eyes at all. Who knew that Sun Jian would be defeated so quickly, and he also killed Zu Mao, and scolded Hua Xiong in his heart for being too cruel and causing himself to carry such a big pot.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's eyes were not good, Yuan Shu had no choice but to rely on the end, "Recently, I have been unwell, and I have handed over all the food supervision to my subordinates, and I blame me for not using people well." Come on, behead the grain governor for me!" ”
Yuan Shu glanced at a few of his subordinates, and was dragged out of the barracks and cut down without waiting for Ji Ling to react.
"You, you..." Sun Jian was so angry that he repeated these three words in his mouth, and secretly said in his heart that this Yuan Shu was too fucking shameless, and he pushed the responsibility away.
"Wentai, please take care of the overall situation!" Cao Cao pressed Sun Jian's hand and whispered as he pointed at Yuan Shu.
"Humph! If we wait for more than 500,000 troops to work together, why should Dong thieves be afraid? Farewell! After speaking, Sun Jian left without looking back, leaving only the princes who had their own thoughts.
