Cao Hong, Zi Lian.

This person's surname is fierce and impulsive, but he is a fierce general but not a general. But he was trusted by Cao Ying as a relative of the Cao family. In the early days of Cao Ying's army, Cao Hong and Cao Ren respectively led their troops to defect, which strengthened Cao Ying's momentum.

Later, Cao Ying pursued Dong Zhuo and lost his war horse, and it was Cao Hong who offered the war horse to provide Cao Ying with to escape. Cao Ying's achievements are what he is today.

Therefore, although Cao Hong is defective in ability, he is a confidant, humerus, and even a brother for Cao Ying. It was this time that Cao Hong led the troops south, and Cao Ying specially arranged for full favor to assist Cao Hong.

And now, Cao Hong is actually dead.

Cao Ying didn't expect this.

Cao Hong was only ordered by Chen Bing to curb Chen Sheng's development outside Guangcheng, and he had Man Chong as an assistant, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Li Dian as reinforcements.

It's going to fail.

At that moment, Cao Ying's face suddenly turned a lot gray, and his eyes flashed with sadness. With a slight tremble, he stretched out his hand and took the box containing Cao Hong's head.

After taking the box, Cao Ying trembled and stroked the box, and after hesitating for a long time, Cao Ying opened the box. At that moment, Cao Hong's head fell into Cao Ying's eyes.

The skull was clean, apparently anomalously cleaned. This gave Cao Ying a delusion, as if Cao Hong was just asleep, not dead.

However, the thin and barely visible lime on the skull let Cao Ying know that Cao Hong was dead. The reason why the skull has survived until now is because it has been invaded by lime.

Cao Ying stared at it for a long time, and finally closed the box and let out a sentimental sigh.

"If Gu thought of this ending, he would definitely not send Zilian to go."

A sigh was accompanied by a slight crystalline appearance. But Cao Ying's eyes were moist, and this was immediately felt by Cao Ying.

He laughed at himself and said, "Since Ang'er, Anmin, and Dian Wei, I thought that even if I faced the most severe and cruel situation, I would not be sad anymore. But I don't want to, but the reality is not necessarily like this. ”

As he spoke, Cao Ying reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, at that moment just now, Cao Ying was weak. When the tear stains were wiped away, Cao Ying was strong again.

I saw Cao Ying's momentum change, his eyes opened, his body straightened, and suddenly there was a momentum of not being angry and arrogant, emanating from Cao Ying's body.

This momentum made the leading knight in front of Cao Ying bow his head deeply, in awe.

The leading horseman saw Cao Ying for the first time, and he saw Cao Ying crying just now, and he actually felt a little disappreciative in his heart, even though he valued love and righteousness, and was sad about Cao Hong's death.

But shedding tears is detrimental to the image.

However, at this moment, the leading knight did not dare to think like that.

Such momentum is really worthy of being the lord of the Central Plains. When the dynasty is a big sikong, Cao Ying.

"You've been bitter all the way, go down and get the reward." Cao Ying's momentum not only changed, but his whole heart was also adjusted, he calmly looked at the knight in front of him, and did not forget to commit.

"No."

Feeling Cao Ying's calmness, the knight's heart was even more awe-inspiring, and he promised and left in a hurry.

The moment he walked out, the knight was covered with fine sweat. The huge momentum after Cao Ying's excitation is like drowning.

Moreover, it calmed down so quickly. Don't forget to soothe him such a villain.

Just thinking about it, the knight's heart trembled. Chen Sheng mourned even more.

Boy, you killed the general of Dasikong three times and twice, and some of you have suffered.

Cao Ying didn't know what the knight was thinking at the moment, but Cao Ying's thoughts coincided with the knight. First Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin, and then Cao Hong.

At this moment, the relationship between the two can be described in one sentence.

Heaven and earth cannot coexist.

"Come, summon Xun Yu, Xiahou Tang come to see you."

Cao Ying took a deep breath and shouted.

"No."

A guard outside the door said yes, and a moment later, hurried footsteps rang out. I believe that soon, Xun Yu and Xiahoudun will come.

"Zilian, Guding will not let you die in vain."

Immediately, Cao Ying closed the box and whispered. Then, Cao Ying sat down on his knees and closed his eyes.

Soon after, two people walked into Sikong Mansion, one of them was fair-skinned, had a three-inch beautiful beard, and had an elegant temperament. The other person has a bear's waist and a tiger's back, looks majestic, and is really a dignified man. It's a pity that he only has one look on his face, which damages his appearance. However, in this remaining eye, there is an abnormal essence, which is even as dazzling as the sun, and if you stare at it for a long time, you can even have a tingling sensation in your eyes.

These two people are Xun Yu and Xiahoudun.

"Wen Ruo, this time Meng Dezhao is in a hurry, do you know what happened?" Xiahoudun and Xun Yu entered side by side, his face was a little puzzled, and asked.

"I don't know what Ming Gong summoned me." Xun Yu shook his head and said, with some doubt in his eyes.

"Wen Ruo is still a scholar's order, and most of the correspondence goes through Wen Ruo's hands. If you don't even know Wen Ruo, I'm afraid it's an urgent matter. Most likely military, could it be that something happened to Wancheng? Xiahoudun frowned and said.

"Probably." Xun Yu said.

As they spoke, the two of them had already traveled many roads to reach the study.

After arriving here, the two of them tidied up their clothes and groomed together, and then walked in with their chests straight.

"Mengde, what's wrong?" After entering the study, both of them were taken aback, and Xiahoudun asked urgently. I saw that Cao Ying's momentum in front of him was very amazing.

In the process of waiting, Cao Ying closed his eyes, and as time passed, the sadness and killing intent in Cao Ying's heart continued to brew, which made Cao Ying's entire momentum rise countless times.

The momentum of Cao Ying at this moment is really difficult to describe in words. His chest heaved and his breathing was heavy, and this kind of heaviness was very strange.

It seems that every time you swallow, there is a murderous air flowing out of the sky.

It's like a tiger waiting before hunting, full of murderous waiting. And since Cao Ying ran rampant in the world and sat on the Central Plains, there have been few such moments.

Therefore, Xiahoudun let out an exclamation.

Xiahoudun's exclamation made Cao Ying open his eyes, and at that moment, Xiahoudun and Xun Yu seemed to have an illusion, as if they were in a sea of corpses and blood, it was a suffocating breath.

"Gollum."

Even if the fierce general Xiahoudun and the wise man Xun Yu were all different at this moment. Xiahoudun swallowed a mouthful of saliva slightly, while Xun Yu staggered his gaze slightly.

The two of them were shaken by Cao Ying's momentum.

The shock in the hearts of the two of them was even more incomprehensible, what happened to make Ming Gong (Meng De) look like this.

"Mengde." Xiahoudun couldn't help but scream again.

"Zilian is dead." Cao Ying opened his mouth and said, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the wooden box with Cao Hong's head on the case in front of him, standing here.

Cao Ying's eyes showed a little sadness again, but then they were replaced by a murderous aura.

"What? Zilian? ”

"General Cao Hong?"

Xiahoudun and Xun Yu all let out an exclamation, revealing an incredulous gaze. Like Cao Ying, the two didn't expect that Cao Hong would actually fail, and if he failed, he would just give away his surname.

"Zilian."

Only a moment later, Xiahoudun suddenly shed a line of hot tears in one eye, howled miserably, pounced, he opened the box, took a look, and then hugged the box in pain.

"Zi Lian, Zi Lian, ahhh Xiahou howled and cried.

The relationship between the Cao family and the Xiahou family is very good, and the ability is outstanding such as Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others, and the friendship is very deep.

Xiahoudun is older, and Cao Hongnai is a younger brother. The feelings can be imagined, and Xiahoudun does not have the kind of forbearance of Cao Ying, for a while, it is really out of shape.

However, it is also true feelings, no one will look down on Xiahoudun because of this, not only that, but the man who values love and righteousness is appreciated.

"Mengde, you can raise troops yourself." After crying for a while, Xiahou suddenly wiped away his tears, and said to Cao Ying with a blood-red eye.

"I summoned you and others for this purpose. Alone soldiers, you are responsible for guarding Xudu. Cao Ying nodded and said, his expression extremely cold.

"But Ming Gong, now this grain and grass is still a little insufficient."

Xun Yu was awe-inspiring by Cao Ying's momentum, but he still stood up and spoke out about the current difficulties. At the beginning, he discussed with Xun Yu and Cao Ying that it would take two months for the grain to go out, but now it is only a little more than a month.

"Deal with it first."

Cao Ying did not waver when he heard this, and said.

"No."

Xun Yu felt Cao Ying's determination and had to agree.

"It's tricky." It's just that Xun Yu sighed in his heart. Now that Cao Ying has sent troops early, the food must be insufficient, so he has to step up his efforts to find a way to replenish the food.

"Order, order 20,000 elite soldiers outside the city to assemble, and set out in three days."

"Ordered Yousi to prepare for the funeral, and to bury Zilian with the etiquette of the princes."

Immediately afterwards, Cao Ying issued two more orders in a row.

With Cao Ying's order, the dispatch of troops was set to be three days later, and with the replenishment and assistance of Cao Ying's 20,000 elite soldiers, the number of Cao troops in Nanzheng Wancheng reached an astonishing 46,700 people.

It is already foreseeable how much pressure Wancheng will be under.

"No."

Xiahoudun and Xun Yu agreed together, and then said goodbye and left, the matter was very big, so the two of them left in a hurry. Soon after, the entire Xu capital shook.

20,000 elite soldiers outside the city, Cao Hong's death.

The next time, Cao Hong was buried with the rites of the princes, and Cao Ying was present in person. After three days, 20,000 elite soldiers were assembled, Cao Ying wore armor and rode horses, with Xun Yu and Cheng Yu as military advisors, and marched south to Wancheng.

The big war is imminent.
