Zhang He's defection made Yuan Shao lose completely, and Cao Cao also reused Zhang He, but he lost his most reliable friend, and he fought side by side with Gao Ran for many years, but Gao Ran died. The soldiers sent out to look for their families at noon today came back, and his entire family was killed.

Xu You came, brought a pot of wine and put it in front of Zhang He, and neither of them spoke, but just drank separately. After a long time, Xu You said in a deep voice: "Now the two of us are really sympathetic to each other!" ”

"It's a path we have chosen."

"Do you know that Yuan Shang has a dark team under him?"

"I know, but it's not detailed, please sir elaborate."

"This dark team is called the Ghosts, and it is responsible for gathering intelligence and assassination. Its leader, you and I have met, but I don't know the name, speaking of which, he and I did the same thing under Yuan Shao, except that I did things for Yuan Shao, and he did things for Yuan Shang. ”

"Is the gentleman also threatened by this man?"

"Yes, that's why I'm here to find General Zhang."

"If Yuan Shao is not destroyed, I am afraid that you and I will never have peace."

"As far as I know, Yuan Shao's life will not be long, and the most likely among Yuan Shao's sons to inherit his great cause is the third son Yuan Shang."

"Has Mr. ever investigated Yuan Shao in secret?"

"Naturally, I investigated, otherwise I wouldn't have said such a thing."

"Let's not mention this matter yet, does Sir have a way to deal with ghosts?"

"I have a lot of people who do similar things, so it's not easy to deal with, but General Zhang, you have to be careful, the darkness is pervasive."

As a lord, you need many things, and one of the most important things must be one: the loyalty of your courtiers. Loyalty can only be manifested in the moment of life and death, but Xu You and Zhang He surrendered to the enemy, and this behavior can explain a lot. may indicate that Yuan Shao is not as good as Cao Cao, and his subordinates return from the wind; It may indicate that those who surrender are like flies clinging to dung, ungrateful; It may mean that these people are just trying to survive; It may also be stated ......

Which one is possible? Guo Jia won't care, what Guo Jia has to do is to make these possibilities impossible, for those who surrender to the enemy, even if the lord doesn't give a special explanation, he will give special care, so at this moment Guo Jia is sitting in front of Zhang He and looking at Zhang He with a smile.

"General, do you want to get a dog?"

Guo Jia asked with a grin.

"The last general is stupid, I don't know what the military advisor means?"

Zhang He asked puzzled.

"I mean, if you want to sleep soundly at night, you'll need a couple of dogs."

"It's not a matter of keeping a dog in a barracks, it's enough to have guards outside."

"It is a wise move for the general to abandon Yuan and join Wei, of course, you are also a smart person, and smart people should not be sloppy with me."

Guo Jia looked at Zhang He with a smile, but he said it very clearly, it was very clear that he was going to say Zhang He, don't pretend to be stupid for me, it's useless to pretend to be stupid in front of me.

"What does the military advisor mean?"

"I was afraid that the general would not sleep well at night, so I specially brought four night dogs to the general to keep vigil for the general. Come in, all of you! ”

Guo Jia looked out of the tent when he said the last sentence and snapped his fingers.

Then four sturdy men entered the tent, all dressed in gray tights and with swords at their waists.

"Oh, it turns out that the military advisor wants to send a few guards to the last general!"

Zhang He said with a smile.

"Have you ever heard of night birds?" Guo Jia asked.

Zhang He shook his head.

"The Night Dog is a team I trained, divided into seven parts, one of which is dedicated to the safety of important generals. Considering the identity of the general, I specially arranged for four night dogs to be by the general's side. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile, he will be more attentive to this kind of general, and the dog he gives will be better.

"Thank you, Advisor, it looks like I can sleep peacefully at night."

It is impossible for Zhang He to refuse, because Guo Jia sent guards by his side, definitely not only to protect his own safety, I am afraid it is more about surveillance!

"Won't the general try the loyal dog I picked for you? How about not giving martial arts a try? ”

Guo Jia asked.

"No need, the military advisor arranged it for the last general, and the last general can rest assured."

The door of Cao Cao's military tent was facing the east, and Fu Zhi stood in the sun facing north, his thin body trembling a little, Cao Cao picked up his robe and walked in front of Fu Zhi to put it on himself. He stood motionless and didn't even look at Cao Cao, Cao Cao kept smiling as he put on his robe, he smiled and dressed him, he also hoped that this old friend would smile at him, but he didn't.

"Is it still cold, sir?" Cao Cao patted Frustrated on the shoulder and asked.

Fu Zhu finally looked at Cao Cao, but he didn't meet Cao Cao's eyes, just looked at Cao Cao's palm, he looked at the palm that was not too wide, and said, "Cold." ”

"I'm afraid that my husband is sick, so I will ask a military doctor for my husband." Cao Cao said.

"Butcher, the 70,000 soldiers in Hebei who were killed by you are cold, they are lying under the loess in another country, and their blood makes my heart cold."

He turned to the sun rising in the east, and looked at the sun without blinking, until his eyes were filled with tears.

Cao Cao was silent, if he could not kill, he would not kill, after all, it was 70,000 living human lives, he had killed many people over the years, but he did not like to kill. It's just that there is no surplus grain and grass in the army to supply 70,000 soldiers to eat, if there is no supply of food and grass, sooner or later chaos will arise, if the soldiers are released back, isn't this battle fought in vain? Cao Cao is not stupid, so he has to be killed. Cao Cao turned his back to Fu Zhu, and said secretly in his heart: Is it so difficult to say a descending word? Is Yuan Benchu, who was defeated by me, so worthy of your allegiance? Is there anything that my Cao Cao's hand can't grasp? Impossible, I'll wait, I'll wait for you to descend.

"Xu Chu! Send Mr. back to the account. Cao Cao said loudly.

Xu Chu walked into the tent door and made a gesture of invitation to Fu Zhu.

Fu Zhu turned to look at Cao Cao, and at this time he really wanted to see what the expression on Cao Cao's face was, but Cao Cao had his back to him. Fu Zhu took off the robe that Cao Cao put on for him, put it on Cao Cao's shoulder, and walked out with Xu Chu.

Cao Cao had been standing, the robe on his shoulders slowly slid to the ground, and it was a long time before he bent down to pick up the robe on the ground, and then he looked through the tent door to the east, the sun had disappeared from his field of vision, but the sun was still there.

The sun was still there, Yuan Shang stretched out his hand, letting his hand soak in the sun, but all he felt was the biting coldness. He laid out a big picture, he arranged every chess piece in the right position, he wanted to defeat Cao Cao in this battle and at the same time cut off the power of his eldest brother Yuan Tan. But he failed, the war is ever-changing, the chess pieces will change color in the process of waiting, the black chess pieces will become white chess, and the surrender of Xu You and Zhang He is something he did not expect, so his plan failed, and the defeat was a mess.

Yuan Shang thought carefully about the chess game he had laid out, and each of his chess pieces was in a good position, why did he fail? Sun Ce's assassination caused Jiangdong to not reinforce Runan, which indirectly led to the defeat of Liu Bei and Liu Pi. Is the opponent too smart? Or are you not smart enough? This defeat wiped out almost all the Hebei soldiers and made his father Yuan Shao's hair gray. When the remnants of the army crossed the Yellow River and counted the soldiers and generals, Yuan Shang found that there were many people missing, among whom was the most important frustration. Fu Zhu did not escape, Yuan Shang was very heartbroken, Fu Zhu was a person he admired, like this kind of person Yuan Shang definitely did not want him to be used by Cao Cao. Therefore, Yuan Shang explained to Shangguan Qian and asked him to rescue Fu Zhi from Cao Ying at all costs. It is not difficult to enter the Cao camp according to Shangguan Qian's ability, but it is not easy to rescue people from Cao.

Shangguan Qian didn't nod his head as before, but asked what if he couldn't bring it back?

Yuan Shang was silent for a long time, stretched out his finger and pointed to the Yellow River.

It was getting dark, the campfire in the barracks had been lit, and he sat quietly. The brows are tightly locked, and they can't be opened. The soldiers standing outside the tent to guard him sang the folk song again, but this time the song was changed, and it was different from the one sung yesterday.

Black Bull, White Horse!

Whispering,

Half-truths.

said he was homesick,

Sad at night!

I can't sleep,

Three years of exile.

Always talking in a dream,

It's even more hurtful.

Frustrated as he held his breath and listened to the song, his frown slowly soothing, and the song lit up hope in his eyes. He listened as the soldier sang three times in a row, and when he heard hope in the song, he got up and went to the tent door and asked the soldier, "Why is the song sung today different from yesterday?" ”

When the soldier saw that the man who had been silent and did not speak suddenly opened his mouth and took the initiative to speak to him, he was slightly stunned and said, "This song is sung by others." ”

"Who sang it?" Frustrated asked.

"It's the horseman who feeds the horses in the camp, and he can sing a lot of songs, and I think it sounds good, so I learned to sing it." The soldier said with a smile.

"Well, this is the song of my hometown." After speaking, he walked into the tent again.

Frustration understood, this was the horseman who deliberately let the soldier learn this song, and sang it to him, this song sounded no different from ordinary songs, but Frustration would know the secret when he listened to it. If you write down this song and read it every other word in the first column, it is: Three watches in the middle of the night. Not many people know the meaning of the black bull and the white horse, and Fu Zhu is one of them, Ju Yi is nicknamed the black bull, and he was Yuan Shao's right-hand man, and he once led the leader to defeat the white horse Gongsun Zhan. "Whispering, saying that he is homesick and can't sleep! Always talk in dreams" means that since you want to go back to Hebei, don't sleep tonight, go to the stables to talk.

Although this song is very cleverly written, the first sentence of the lyrics can only be understood by Frustration, and the first sentence wakes up Frustration, and then tells Frustration not to sleep at night, and in the middle of the night, someone will meet you in the stable, and then you can ride a war horse and go home smoothly.
