Chapter 6: Morale Confrontation
The morning sun once again shone on the earth, standing on the head of the city Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief, although Cao Cao did not attack again, but this night, Lu Bu's spirit has been in a tense state, and now the city of Xiapi is in danger, the slightest mistake is the end of the city being ruined.

The feeling of exhaustion came up, but Lu Bu still straightened his waist, in this city, anyone can show decadence, but he can't, at this moment, he is the soul of the three armies, even if he shows a trace of exhaustion, he will shake the three armies psychologically.
In the distance, smoke began to rise in Cao Yingzhong, Lu Bu stood on the top of the city and looked out, for a long time, a flash flashed in his eyes, although he could not shake the behemoth of Cao Cao with the power in his hands at present, but it must not make them feel better.
"Hao Zhao, Zhang Guang." Lu Bu took a deep breath, his voice a little silent.
"In!" Hao Zhao and Zhang Guang stood up and looked at Lu Bu's eyes, flashing with admiration.
"Are you afraid of death?" Lu Bu looked at the two of them and suddenly asked.
"Don't be afraid!" Hao Zhao and Zhang Guang were stunned, and then puffed up their chests, their eyes flashed with a scorching light, and they almost roared angrily.
Nodding, Lu Bu pointed to the corpses under the city gate: "The two armies are fighting, the soldiers on both sides are their masters, and it is also the fate of the soldiers to die on the battlefield, but now that they have died in battle, General Ben can't bear to expose these soldiers to the wilderness like this, you two will clean up the corpses of these soldiers and send them to Cao Ying." ”
Hao Zhao and Zhang Guang's eyes lit up, and Lu Bu turned his head to look at the two of them: "Although the two armies are fighting, they don't kill them, but among them, there are Cao Cao's people Cao Hong, and the corpse of the general Le Jin, I don't guarantee that Cao Cao will not be angry with you because of this, this is gone, life and death are uncertain, I don't force it, you can choose to refuse." ”
Although it is an unwritten rule on the battlefield that the two armies will not fight each other, it is usually established under the condition that the strength of the two sides is equal, and now the strength of the two sides is clear, and Cao Cao is powerful, so he may not abide by this unwritten rule.
"The last will go!" Hao Zhao took a step forward, with a touch of firmness on his green face.
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Guang, but Zhang Guang was silent, Lu Bu nodded, the choice of life and death, Zhang Guang's choice is understandable, this is also human nature, patted Hao Zhao's shoulder and said: "Go pick someone, when you come back, I will invite you to drink." ”
"Yes!" Hao Zhao arched his hand and turned to leave.
Turning his head and looking at Zhang Guang with a look of shame, Lu Bu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to care, as Lu Bu's personal guard, at least in terms of loyalty, Zhang Guang is not low, but his personal choices are different, Hao Zhao is young, aggressive, and ambitious, and Zhang Guang is different, he has been following Lu Bu since Bingzhou, and now he is in his forties, and he has no ambition at all.
In this era, young people are still needed!
"Others, change guards!" Lu Bu looked at the other soldiers, these people had been here all night, and there were more than one hundred and twenty star warriors here who had consumed more than 2,400 achievement points from him, Lu Bu didn't want these people to lose due to overwork.
At this time, Gao Shun had already taken the soldiers who changed the guard to replace Lu Bu in the city, although Zhang Liao led the troops to rape countless enemies last night, but the physical and mental consumption was also a lot, even if Zhang Liao could hold on, but the soldiers who went out to fight could not go out, Lu Bu could only let Gao Shun replace Zhang Liao.
"Lord, you also kept watch all night, go back and rest." Gao Shun commanded the soldiers to change guards, and at the same time came to Lu Bu's side and said in a deep voice.
"No, I have to wait for someone." Lu Bu shook his head, looked at the bottom of the city tower, Gao Shun stood with Lu Bu, followed Lu Bu's gaze, but saw below, a young general was directing the soldiers to pick up Cao Jun's body, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask more, said goodbye, and went to patrol the city.
Soon, Hao Zhao had already placed Cao Jun's body on the car, and slowly marched towards Cao Ying, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a touch of calm, Hao Zhao is a military general he discovered, more importantly, he is young, and the space for future development is extremely wide, such a potential general, if he can, Lu Bu will never let him take risks, but Lu Bu has not many people available in his hands at the moment, he can't send Zhang Liao and Gao Shun out, even if Cao Cao doesn't kill them, it is very likely that they will be detained, Lao Cao is unscrupulous for talents, and would rather raise them without it, and will never let these talents flow out against him.
But he can't help but send, now he wants to compete with Cao Cao for time, fight morale, any chance that can shake the morale of Cao Jun, he can't let go, if Cao Cao really kills Hao Zhao, although it's a pity, but if he misses the fighter because of this, not even tomorrow, even if Hao Zhao has potential, what does it have to do with himself?
Cao Cao's military camp, Cao Cao's face was gloomy at the moment, Cao Hong attacked again last night, and less than a thousand of the five thousand soldiers finally returned, and the most important thing is that Cao Hong himself has not returned so far, although he tried not to think about it, but everyone knew that the probability of Cao Hong's survival was not high.
In the handsome tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, no one dared to speak at this time, Liu Bei stood quietly on the left side of Cao Cao, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, not expressing any opinion on the things in Cao Ying, the other generals were also gloomy, Cao Hong was greedy for money, but he was very generous to his friends, and all the generals in Cao Ying's camp had a good relationship with him, and everyone suppressed an unspeakable anger in their hearts.
"Newspaper~"
A junior colonel rushed in with a long voice, knelt on one knee, and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, there are generals of the Lu Bu Army outside the camp who came with the corpses of our soldiers, saying that they want to return our army. ”
"Who's coming?" Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a touch of coldness, and he said coldly.
"It's a young general, named Hao Zhao." Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice.
"I'm going to kill him!" Cai Yang snorted, carried a knife and ran outside the barracks.
"Stop!" Cao Cao stood up and snorted coldly.
"Prime Minister!" Cai Yang turned his head and looked at Cao Cao puzzled.
"The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, the other party will return the corpses of our soldiers, how can we break the rules?" Cao Cao walked out of the handsome position and said lightly: "Go, follow me to greet the corpses of the soldiers." ”
"Yes!" Cai Yang unwillingly clenched the big knife, followed behind Cao Cao, a group of generals followed Cao Cao out, Liu Bei opened his eyes, looked at Cao Cao's back, took Guan Zhang, the second general, and followed Cao Cao to the outside of the camp.
Outside the barracks, a large number of Cao soldiers had gathered, surrounding Hao Zhao and his party with more than 100 people, with unkind eyes, Hao Zhao stood at the front with a solemn expression, ignoring the hostile gaze around him.
"What a spirit!" Rao is Cao Cao is now depressed in his chest, and when he saw Hao Zhao, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he came out with a group of generals and strategists, and looked at Hao Zhao lightly and said, "You are Hao Zhao." ”
"Exactly." Hao Zhao turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "My prince and marquis have said that it is the fate of soldiers that the two armies are fighting and dying on the battlefield, but now that he is dead, he does not want these soldiers to expose their corpses to the wilderness, and he will send their corpses back at the end of the special order." ”
When the surrounding Cao Jun heard this, the anger in the eyes of Hao Zhao and his party was a lot lighter, indeed, it is normal for a soldier to die on the battlefield, this time it is Cao Jun besieging Xiapi, if Xiapi City is broken, Lu Bu is afraid that there will be more than one auspicious, do you still have to complain that people will be arrested if they are not restrained?
Many Cao Jun looked at the corpses on the carriages, and their eyes showed sadness.
Hao Zhao waved his hand, and four soldiers carried out two stretchers, on the stretchers, were the bodies of two generals, one of which was naturally Lejin, and it was still intact, but the other had been burned to a piece of charcoal, but it could be identified from the armor and weapons, this person was Cao Hong.
Looking at the two corpses, Cao Cao only felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Hao Zhao didn't seem to feel Cao Cao's killing intent, and said loudly: "These two should be your generals, and the last general is afraid that their bodies will be destroyed, so they will carry their corpses over on a stretcher alone." ”
"General Lejin?" Many Cao Jun exclaimed in a low voice.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Jun, who was in a commotion around him, snorted coldly, and looked at Hao Zhao calmly: "Young man, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"Why did the prime minister kill me?" Hao Zhao said with a puzzled face: "My prince often says that the general is a hero in the world, and since he is a hero, how can he not distinguish between right and wrong?" I will return the remains of your soldiers, even if I don't reward them, the prime minister shouldn't kill me. ”
Cao Cao's gaze fell on Hao Zhao, and the atmosphere became extremely dull for a while, Hao Zhao's heart was tense, but he still looked at Cao Cao strongly.
"Okay, hahaha!" Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was very abrupt, and the surrounding Cao Junwu generals were startled and looked at Cao Cao in confusion.
Hao Zhao didn't speak, just looked at Cao Cao lightly, the knuckles of the hand holding the reins turned pale because of the force, but his face was still a light and breezy look.
After a long time, Cao Cao stopped laughing, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Feng Xian has learned a lot after this battle, and he also knows how to use tricks, not bad, not bad, come here, reward 100 gold for this little general." ”
Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask questions at the moment, and soon, a guard came to Cao Cao's side with a tray, Cao Cao waved his hand, and the guard handed the tray containing gold to Hao Zhao.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Hao Zhao waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward and took the tray.
"How's the injury?" Cao Cao waved his hand and asked seemingly casually.
Hao Zhao's eyes shrank, these days, the four doors are closed, how did Cao Cao know that Chen Gong was injured?
Looking at Hao Zhao's changing face, Cao Cao smiled slightly, and didn't say much: "Go back, thank Feng Xian for me, I accepted his kindness, and when I break through Xiapi in the future, I will drink with him again." ”
"Farewell!" Hao Zhao nodded, hugged his fist at Cao Cao, then turned on his horse and slowly left with a hundred soldiers.
