"Xuande!"

Cao Ying greeted him in person outside the big tent of the Chinese army, took Liu Bei's hand very warmly, and talked while walking, looking very affectionate.

Cao Peng was ignored...... Liu Bei triumphantly entered the big tent with Cao Ying, Cao Peng stood outside the tent, stomped his feet, turned his head and left.

"Ah Fu, where are you going?"

"I'll go back to Haixi."

Cao Peng is really popular!

What do you mean by Cao Mengde?

Lao Tzu worked hard for you and sought justice for you, but the result was good, and you didn't even pay attention to me?

Since you don't like me, you only value Liu Bei. I'm sorry then, I'm not waiting...... I'll go back to my Haixi, and you can do whatever you like.

After being reborn, Cao Peng deliberately kept a low profile, but the arrogance in his bones could not be changed for a lifetime.

Don't look at his usual giggling, he seems to be very talkative. Now that it is more serious, even ten cows will not be able to pull him back.

"Ah Fu, you ......"

Dianman was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Cao Peng.

Unexpectedly, his hand just slapped on Cao Peng's shoulder, Cao Peng collapsed his shoulder, dragged his arm with his backhand, leaned back, and knocked Dianman to the ground at once. Dian Wei was dumbfounded, he used to think that Cao Peng was gentle, why did he become so arrogant today?

"Ah Fu, you stop."

Cao Pengli didn't pay attention to it, just walked out.

"Stop him for me."

Dian Wei hurriedly ordered, and the Tiger Ben army immediately swarmed up and blocked Cao Peng's way.

Cao Peng is really angry this time!

"If you regard me as if you were abandoned, what should you stop me from doing?"

"Ah Fu, if you are dissatisfied, you can tell Cao Gong later. Cao Gong found you, but you didn't say goodbye, what kind of system did you become. ”

"Cao Gong only values the unrighteous villain, and Ande has to put us in his eyes?

That Liu Xuande robbed my grain and grass and injured my troops. Cao Gong didn't even ask, he just cared about making out with the big-eared thief, what is the use of me staying here? ”

Cao Peng's voice was very loud, and it went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army.

To be honest, Cao Ying does value Liu Bei more. So just now, I unconsciously ignored Cao Peng's existence.

Cao Peng made such a fuss outside the big tent, and the people in the big tent of the Chinese army were all unconvinced.

Originally, Liu Bei had the upper hand and sat in the tent, still a little proud in his heart. What can you do if I rob you of your bread and smite your tribes? In the eyes of Cao Gong, you are just an ignorant child, and after making some contributions, do you think you can do whatever you want?

But now, he is sitting on pins and needles.

Cao Ying's face sank suddenly.

"Let that kid come in."

Cao Ying also felt that his face was dull, and shouted loudly.

Everyone in the tent couldn't help frowning slightly, as if they were a little dissatisfied with Cao Ying's move.

"Ah Fu, the lord wants you to report to the door."

"I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I report to the door? Could it be that it makes sense to rob other people's things, and I am working hard, but I don't even have a place to reason? Cao Gong treats me like this, I am not convinced...... In that case, I take my leave. ”

If you change someone, you might bow your head.

But at this time, Cao Peng could never bow his head.

He knew he had a point. If you take a step back at this time, all the efforts you have made before will be in vain. He just wants Cao Ying to know his existence and remember his existence. He wants to tell Cao Ying that there is no mistake in what he has done!

The pride in Liu Bei's heart was gone.

The eyes of everyone in the big tent cut over him like knives, cutting past, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Cao Gong, what is said today is really the fault of Bei.

If the preparation is not strict, it will cause such a disaster. Six thousand pieces of grain and grass, not a single cent of the preparation was moved, and he ordered someone to return it to Cao Gong. Please also forgive Meng Deduoduo, as for the little general...... Actually, there is nothing wrong, it's just that Beiping is too arrogant, so much so that it ...... Mengde, there are thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of preparation. Please don't blame the little general, otherwise it will be difficult to settle down in your heart. ”

"Eh, why should Xuande care, it's just a small misunderstanding, but it was made a big fuss by that kid!"

Cao Ying waved his hand, "Six thousand grains and grass, just stay at Xuande." It's just that I also ask Xuande to go back and restrain a lot so as not to travel to the pool again. ”

After that, Cao Ying shouted loudly: "Dian Wei, don't take that kid up yet." ”

Dian Wei got an order outside the tent and hugged Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, stop making trouble...... If you continue to make trouble, you won't be able to help Liu Xuande, but you will fold yourself in. ”

"I ......"

Dian Wei covered Cao Peng's mouth with his big hand, hugged him to the side of the small tent, and then pushed Cao Peng in, "Listen to me, I also know that you are wronged." But when the war comes, consider the overall situation. It's not that the lord doesn't want to punish the crime, it's just that Liu Xuande is also a masterpiece, and if he is pressed, he is afraid that it will be unfavorable to the battle situation. Ah Fu, listen to me, you stay here, don't make any more noise. ”

Cao Peng said angrily: "You are Dian Junming, have you also begun to know the overall situation?" ”

"I ......"

"The big husband does things and makes decisions immediately. So who is Liu Xuande? Don't you know? If Lu Bu is a tiger, Liu Xuande is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised. Cao Gong ignored many soldiers under his command, but only valued Liu Xuande, didn't it make us feel cold? The big-eared thief is more ungrateful than Lu Bu. If left unchecked, sooner or later he will surely become a confidant of the lord......"

Dian Wei was speechless, so he could only sneer and withdraw from the military tent.

The lord's actions today are only afraid that he is really angry with Ah Fu...... But if this matter is changed to me, I will not let go of that Liu Xuande.

What is —————————————————————— politics?

To put it bluntly, it is the most shameless, ugliest, and darkest in the world.

It's not that Cao Peng doesn't understand politics, it's just that he will never be able to learn the so-called 'thick black'. He just can't look past it, he just thinks that Cao Ying favors one over the other. We are the ones who occupy the western part of the sea, we are the ones who provide you with food and grass, and we are the ones who even help you in your wars.

But you have to value Liu Bei, who is impossible to attach to you?

Cao Peng could not have become a politician, which was destined by his surname.

However, his big fuss outside the big tent of the Chinese army made Liu Bei a little restless. After a few words of greeting with Cao Ying, he said goodbye and left.

When he left the big tent, Dian Wei happened to come in.

The moment the two staggered by, Dian Wei suddenly snorted coldly, and slammed into Liu Bei's body sideways.

"Xuande Gong be careful."

Dian Wei knocked Liu Bei to the ground, and made a kind appearance to help.

"This matter is not over."

He gritted his teeth and whispered in Liu Bei's ear.

Liu Bei secretly complained in his heart, but he could only force his face to be happy, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

thought that Cao Peng was just a teenager from an ordinary background. But now it seems that this Cao Peng's connections in Cao Ying are not small.

Dian Wei walked into the big tent and intervened to restore his life.

But Cao Ying's face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to be happy at all.

"Princes, Xuande is a relative of the Han family, although he is not a famous person today, he is also a powerful person. Is it wrong for me to value him and treat him with leniency? ”

There was silence in the tent.

"That's right, Cao Youxue does have merit, and he has indeed been wronged.

But now the war has not subsided, and Lu Bu has not yet calmed down. I should stabilize Liu Bei, so as not to be taken advantage of by that Lu Bu...... Isn't that right? Liu Bei, a masterpiece! Youxue's move today is inevitably a little ignorant of advance and retreat, and if you don't get it right, it will ruin the war in Xuzhou. ”

Xun You got up suddenly, "Sikong, although there is something wrong with Youxue, there is nothing wrong with it.

Lu Bu, the turtle in the urn, is not to be worried. But the lord, you treat Liu Xuande so well, you need to know that Liu Bei is even more than Lu Bulu Fengxian. ”

"Lord, you can besiege Xiapi today, relying on the soldiers to serve their lives, it is uncles, grandsons, Youxue and others, desperately striving to be the first, what does it have to do with Liu Xuande? At the beginning, when you didn't conquer Pengcheng, Liu Bei's subordinates pushed back and forth, only knowing that they were asking for burden, and the progress was slow; At that time, in this Huaisi land, it was Youxue who desperately dragged Lu Bu's hind legs...... Now, your army is surrounded by Xiapi, and Liu Bei is running faster than anyone else...... You can also see that you are so generous to him, but he doesn't care about you at all. ”

Cao Ying was silent!

"How's that kid now?"

He ...... Not very happy anyway.

However, the child's temper does not need to be taken to heart. If this kind of thing were to me, I might not feel happy. ”

Dian Wei replied cautiously, and Cao Ying couldn't help laughing.

"Junming, I won't bother with that kid...... However, the princes also think, am I too kind to Liu Xuande? ”

"Lord, you are too kind to them!" Cao Hong stood up and said loudly: "In my opinion, Liu Xuande is just a vain. ”

Cao Ying let out a long breath and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, what about Bonghyo?"

"Feng Xiao went out in the afternoon, saying that he wanted to see the terrain of Xiapi."

"If he returns, let him see me at once." Cao Ying pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Cao Youxue and his subordinates, let's go into the camp first, and for the time being, they will be under the command of Zilian." Zilian, you give me a good life to discipline that kid, how can the person who will be appointed as the captain of the agricultural capital in the coming year be so reckless and can't save the slightest thing? As for Liu Xuande...... I gave him six thousand pieces of grain, but it depends on how he behaves. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but know it.

Although Liu Bei got 6,000 pieces of grain, if he wants to work and not make any effort, I'm afraid it won't be so easy...... Cao Ying's cheapness, how could he Liu Xuande take advantage of it so easily? Next, if he doesn't attack Pi, he is afraid that he will not be able to say anything.

When the ———————————————————————————— was almost there, Guo Jia came back from outside.

As soon as he entered the camp, he heard that Cao Peng had made trouble in Liu Bei's barracks, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Cao Yingben had already fallen asleep, and when he learned that Guo Jia was back, he hurriedly got up again. After sitting down in the tent, he ordered a drink to be served, and then sighed.

"My lord, but I'm worried about the actions of Youxue in the afternoon."

"This little guy is really restless, something so big happened, he didn't report to me first, but took the trilogy to trouble Liu Bei."

"My lord, this is a good thing."

"A good thing?"

"If not, then how can Liu Xuande work hard?"

"But ......"

"Lord, the more Cao Peng is like this, the more it shows that he is open-minded. As for the pride in his achievements, it may not be, I am afraid it is more because he thinks about the Lord and the public. Liu Xuande robbed the lord of grain and grass, if he didn't make a fuss, how could you fall with your stick? ”

Cao Ying smiled!

"Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye."

That's right, Liu Bei robbed the grain and grass, but Cao Ying couldn't blaze it blatantly.

But with Cao Peng's trouble, although Cao Ying did not blame Liu Bei, he was vicious in any words that were blamed. Liu Bei could only desperately attack the city, and could no longer find an excuse to shirk. At the same time, Cao Ying can also take this opportunity to get a generous, Lixian corporal's name, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. It's just that Cao Ying's thoughts can't be told to others, only Guo Jia guessed what he thought in his heart.

"However, Cao Peng is right, Liu Bei's harm is especially bad."

"What should I do?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "Tigers can hurt people, just because they walk in the mountains and forests." If you are trapped in a cage, you can only be watched, and it is difficult to do harm.

After this battle, the Lord could take the opportunity to take him to Xudu.

When he arrives in Xu Du, what can Liu Bei do even if he is powerful? At that time, the lord will not even need to spend a single soldier, just an edict, and he will be able to make his head in a different place. If Liu Bei is outside, he is a man-eating tiger, if he is in Xudu, what is the difference between him and cats and dogs? ”

When Cao Ying heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and laughed.

"What Feng Xiao said won my heart."

Guo Jia's face turned grim, and he said softly: "Lord, there is one more thing that needs to be known to the lord." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I have a plan, but I can break Pijian City."

"Oh?"

Speaking of which, this plan also depends on Cao Peng's reminder.

Cao Peng once joked with Yuande and Mingli, saying that Xiapi is surrounded by water on all sides, and it can be broken in one fell swoop. I checked the terrain in the afternoon and found that this time Pi was exactly what he said. Out of Xiapi, it is a depression, there is Yishui Surabaya through it...... Now, it is the middle of winter, and the river is not in a hurry. Why don't you take the opportunity to build a dam to store water, and when the time is ripe, the water will flood Pi. When the time comes, no matter how high he is in the city, he will not be able to use it. ”

"Build a dam to store water, and flood it?"

Cao Ying was overjoyed, but then smiled bitterly: "You said that this Cao Peng is sometimes reckless, and sometimes scheming.

This kid's virtue and talent are not weak, to be honest, I think it seems a little aggrieved to let him stay in Guangling......"

Guo Jia said: "It is precisely because of his uprightness that he needs to be tempered." ”

Cao Ying hesitated, "Then let him stay in Xiapi for the first time and be temporarily assigned by Zilian."

Isn't it to build a dam to store water? Let Zilian be responsible for this matter...... Pass on my order, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, to storm Xiapi, and not to give it a chance to breathe. ”

said that it was not to give Lu Bu a chance to breathe, but it was better to say that it was to cover the construction of a dam and store water, so that Lu Bu could not perceive it.

In this way, Cao Peng stayed outside Xiapi City as he wished, and he worked under Cao Hong's account, so he seemed very comfortable.

He and Cao Hong are partners, and the prosperous gambling house in Luoyang can now be described as making money.

Cao Hong naturally did not treat Cao Peng badly, and appointed him as the Sima in the army, pretending to join the military, and was responsible for the vigilance of damming and storing water. Although it is called Cao Hong's tribe, it is actually like leading an army by itself. In addition to chatting with Cao Hong every day, Cao Peng pays more attention to the Xiapi battle situation.

On November 15, Lu Bu suddenly killed Xiapi, carrying Lu Lan on his back, wanting to break out of the encirclement.

didn't want to be noticed by Liu Bei, so he led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to stop him. Subsequently, Xiahoudun, Xu Huang and others dispatched one after another, and finally made Lu Bu return in vain and retreated to Xiapi again. In this battle, Liu Bei suffered heavy losses. Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were injured and were unable to continue the siege.

Subsequently, Cao Ying ordered Liu Bei's department to retreat from the south gate and Cao Hong's department took over.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, except for his 'Bai Wei soldiers', all became Cao Hong's subordinates. Although Liu Bei was reluctant, he had no choice but to give up his soldiers and horses, take his troops, and retreat to the camp of the Chinese army at the North Gate, waiting for Cao Ying's dispatch.

Cao Ying lightly dissolved Liu Bei's military power, which made Cao Peng full of emotion.

However, he was more concerned about Xiapi's condition...... Because he knew that Lu Bu broke through the siege in order to get Yuan Shu's reinforcements. If the breakthrough failed, Lu Bu no longer had any hope. Next, what awaits Lu Bu is only destruction, and Cao Peng will follow suit and take action!
