In the early morning of the fourth day of the seventh month of autumn, Hua Fei, who was stationed in Gucheng, got up early and washed up, and was above the city tower full of fragrant flowers and plants, watching the iron horsemen of the self-army bathe in the warm morning sun and return in the crisp birdsong of "chirping".

"Lord, you probably did a bad job this time," Xu Chu on the side saw Ma Chao and Jiang Jiong leading the army back, and said with a big grin beside Hua Fei, "That Cao Jun didn't come at all last night, ha, hahahaha." ”

"I'm wrong, you're happy?" Hua Fei glanced at the schadenfreude general, and then said again, "I didn't say that Cao Jun would definitely come to steal the city last night, I just said that it was possible." ”

"Ugh!"

Xu Chu was stunned when he opened his big mouth, and then remembered that when Hua Fei arranged tasks for his brothers after collecting the army last night, he really said so.

But in the blink of an eye, he waved his thick arms and shouted: "No, no, I said the lord, you are too cunning!" ”

"Hey!" Hua Fei turned his head to look at Xu Chu in surprise and asked, "How dare you say that I am cunning?" ”

Xu Chu opened his mouth and shouted, if Hua Fei didn't know that he was a straightforward and uneducated old man, he thought he was scolding himself, what is cunning?

"Yes, you are too cunning to say this," Xu Chu still didn't notice his slip of the tongue, and still waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "What do you mean it's possible?" That is to say, Cao Jun came to ask you to guess correctly,

But if you didn't come, you wouldn't be mistaken, you just said that if you don't leak, you just came to Meng, people who have no culture. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said in an unhappy voice: "It's a shame that you still solemnly instructed Ma Chao, Jiang Jiong and Ma Tie, saying that if Cao Jun steals it, let them not act rashly,

Jiang Jiong and Ma Tie can only lead the army to find out the enemy's reality first, and Ma Chao must be ready to respond at any time without moving, so as to prevent the cunning Cao army from cheating. ”

Hua Fei understood that Xu Chu was just unconvinced because of the ambiguity of his words, and was about to explain him in detail, but suddenly thought that Xu Chu would not seek to be motivated but afraid that he would be difficult to take on important responsibilities in the future.

Nai Xian silently gently turned the slightly cool Buddha beads in his palm twice, and then said to Xu Chu with a smile: "Zhongkang, I said that it is possible that you are not convinced, right?" ”

Xu Chu looked at Hua Fei with some puzzlement, and didn't understand why his lordship suddenly became sluggish today, with his attitude and those words that came out, could he be convinced?

Thinking of this, he stiffened his neck and said in a loud voice: "If you say that this is right and right, and wrong is also right, then of course I am not convinced!" ”

"Since you're not convinced," Hua Fei said to Xu Chu with a smile still on his face, "Then I'll tell you something that will definitely happen to convince you, what do you think?" ”

Xu Chu didn't understand that this smile was not a good thing, but his eyes lit up with great interest, and he opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Well......" Hua Fei was trying to tease him, but he pretended to think for a while before he started to speak, "I want to say that soon, Cao Cao will send someone to ask to see me." ”

"Huh?" Xu Chu's eyes widened and he said in a high voice, "How is it possible, now Cao Cao is fighting with us?" ”

Hua Fei waved his hand and said, "You don't care, it may be impossible, I'll ask you if you believe it?" ”

"Don't believe it!" Xu Chu turned his head to Chong Huafei to the side, and put on a posture that you don't want to deceive me.

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Well, since you don't believe it, do you dare to make a small bet with me?" ”

"Bet?" Xu Chu immediately turned his head and glared at Hua Fei and asked, "How do you want to bet?" And what do you use to bet with me? ”

"Okay, you guy was almost sold by Fa Zheng last time, and he doesn't have a long memory, and now he really wants to bet with me?"

Hua Fei couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw his impatient appearance, but he said: "Just bet that Cao Cao will send someone soon, and if I lose, I will compensate you for a jar of good wine!" ”

"Good wine?" Xu Chu screamed with divine light, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of slander, opened his mouth and was about to agree, but suddenly and uncomfortably asked, "What if I lose?" ”

Hua Fei gently waved his hand and brought up a burst of light sandalwood, and said lightly: "Don't want you to do anything too difficult, just silently repeat the "Art of War" in front of me within a month." ”

Hua Fei said easily, Xu Chu also listened easily, but he waved his hand and repeated indifferently: "Oh, it turns out that it only takes a month to ...... in front of you."

only repeated this, but then he bit his tongue violently and stared at Hua Fei with wide eyes, and only after a while did he stammer: "Lord, you, you, you let me write that silently, what about "The Art of War"?" ”

"That's right," Hua Fei also said with wide eyes, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" ”

Xu Chu slammed his neck, waved his hand at Hua Fei categorically, and said, "Then I don't gamble!" ”

"Don't," Hua Fei hurriedly stretched out his hand to Xu Chu and said, "It's not easy to have time to play with you, why don't you gamble?" ”

"Don't gamble, don't gamble, resolutely don't gamble." Xu Chu shook his head straight like a wave drum and said, "I have quit gambling a long time ago." ”

But in my heart, I secretly said, just kidding! Then "The Art of War" Lao Xu Du can't fully recognize the words, and I still have to write silently? Then you can't just ask for Lao Xu's life?

Seeing this, Hua Fei didn't come to force him, but Shi Shiran said with a negative hand: "Do you gamble on two good wines?" ”

"Don't bet!" Xu Chu was unmoved.

"Three altars."

"Hmm...... Can't bet. ”

"Four altars."

"This and this, I still don't bet." Xu Chu clenched his fists loudly.

Hua Fei immediately raised the cost again: "The last time, Wutan!" You have to think clearly, I said that a good wine is definitely a good wine, and the wine flavor is guaranteed to be mellow and thick. ”

The green tendons on Xu Chu's head jumped wildly, but he bit his lip and didn't say a word, and at this time, Ma Chao led Ma Tie and Jiang Jiong up the city wall with his armor piercing.

As he hurried over, he asked the two of them in a loud voice, "Lord Gong, Zhong Kang, what are you two talking about?" This is five jars and good wine? Could it be that the lord wants to give wine? ”

"Lord, I bet with you!"

Xu Chu saw Ma Chao's arrival, and knew that this product was also a good wine, but he was worried that he would rush to open his mouth like a gamble with Hua Fei, so he agreed.

But suddenly thinking that something was wrong, he opened his mouth with wide eyes again and said hurriedly: "Slow, my lord, what you just said is an uncertain word soon, you can't be fooled." ”

"Okay," Hua Fei waved his hand confidently, "just take today as the deadline, if Cao Cao doesn't send someone before sunset, then I will lose." ”

Xu Chu hurriedly stretched out his palm and said loudly to Hua Fei: "Deal!" ”

Hua Fei swore with a smile and high-fived him, and Ma Chao asked curiously on the side, when he learned about the bet between the two,

Nai was shocked and patted his thigh with his hand and said: "But let Zhongkang go first, so the gambling method is said to be five altars, and you only need one altar to dare to bet with the lord." ”

"Oh?" Ma Chao has recently made great achievements and is young and malleable, Hua Fei is intending to cultivate him, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Meng Qi, you also want to bet?" ”

"Bet," Ma Chao hurriedly stretched out his palm and said urgently, "How can you not gamble on this kind of winning bet?" ”

Hua Fei glanced at him with a smile before he said, "Okay, I'll make a bet with you, and the bet is the same!" ”

Ma Chao was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly high-fived Hua Fei, and just as a soft sound of "pop" came out, a guard suddenly shouted the word "report" and ran up the city wall.

"Isn't it? Cao Cao sent someone so soon? ”

Xu Chu and Ma Chao were both startled and asked at the same time.

The guard who came to call the police was stunned when he heard this, but he shook his head and said to Hua Fei: "My lord, Yang Ren, the general of the right Andong, has been ordered to lead his troops to enter Donghan Guguan, and at the same time, a letter from Fa Zheng, the general of the right army division of Chang'an, is sent to ask the lord to take a look. ”

"Whew!"

Xu Chu and Ma Chao put their hearts back in their chests and let out a sigh of relief, Hua Fei took the letter and opened it to look at it, but it turned out that Fa Zheng had already ordered his subordinate governor - Ma Xiu to form 5,000 Tuntian Army and garrison it in Xihan Valley Pass.

At the same time, Xu Shu and Tai Shici had already set off from Jingzhou to Chang'an, and Fa Zheng asked for instructions on whether to send Pang De's troops, who had already been prepared, to Liangzhou via Zhuqiang as originally planned?

Hua Fei was confident that he was looking forward to and complaining about Xu Shu, because Xu Shu did not explain what the results of his trip to Jingzhou were to recruit talents?

But they fell into contemplation because of Fa Zheng's instructions, and as for Xu Chu and Ma Chao, they were both looking forward to the sun that had just risen, hoping that it would set down earlier, because it was too difficult for the two of them to write "The Art of War" silently.
