Two days later, when Cao Cao personally led his army to Zhuyi, Yuan's army had already crossed the Jiangdong.

Cao Cao was greeted only by Xu Huang's eldest son Xu Gai and more than 100 remnants of the defeated soldiers, seeing the blood-soaked Xu Gai and the more than 100 remnants covered in blood, Cao Cao only felt a sense of disgust rising to the sky, it took so much effort, it took so much money, after all, he still couldn't leave Yuan No, after all, he still let him run?

Cao Cao forcibly held back the Jiao Hu in his heart and asked Xu Gai: "Where is my father?" ”

Xu Gai replied in a panic: "Back to the lord, my father was seriously injured and is recuperating in the camp. ”

"Take me to see it." Cao Cao waved his hand impatiently and motioned for Xu Gai to lead the way.

Xu Gai hurriedly took Cao Cao into the barracks that had already been burned by the fire, Xu Huang's line was not burned much, Cao Cao walked and walked away, and saw Xu Huang lying on the couch with his eyes closed at a glance, Xu Huang's armor and robe had been taken off, and a striking scar lay across his chest.

The skin and flesh of the wound turned out, and the blood leached out, which was very scary to look at.

A medical craftsman was treating Xu Huang's wound and cleaning it with salt water, but Xu Huang didn't even realize it.

Cao Cao's heart suddenly tightened when he saw this, since Yuan Wei entered Runan County, since he fought with Yuan Wei, the generals under his command can be [↑ It can be said that they have been lost one after another, first losing his most trusted general Xiahou Dian, then Xiao General Li Dian, and then his adopted son Cao Zhen, and now Xu Huang is also seriously injured, and his life and death are uncertain.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao gritted his teeth with hatred.

Damn Yuan No'er, it's really his Cao Cao's nemesis!

At that moment, Cao Cao asked the doctor: "How is Gongming's injury?" Is it dangerous? ”

Only then did the medical craftsman realize that Cao Cao had already made his way, and hurriedly got up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, General Gongming is seriously injured. But he is in great health. So there is no fear for life. ”

Cao Cao asked again: "Then why are you still unconscious?" ”

The healer replied, "But because of excessive blood loss." I'll wake up tomorrow. ”

Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, turned around and walked out of the line at the moment, and ordered Xu Chu to summon Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Cao Hongzhu to prepare for a meeting.

Cheng Yu first introduced: "My lord, everyone, Yuan Wei's army crossed Suishui from Zhuyi two days ago, and according to reliable information sent by Xuzhou, Yuan Jun has entered the boundary of Wuxian County in Pengcheng County, Xuzhou. And it was marching along the official road to Lu County, and the Xuzhou army did not send troops to stop it along the way. ”

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "The question now is, is it to cross the border to pursue?" ”

"Chasing, of course you have to chase, why not?" Cao Hong said, "Is it okay to let Yuan go or not?" ”

Cao Ren also said sharply: "Yuan Wei Xiao'er first killed General Yuan Rang, then General Man Cheng, and then Zidan, and this time he seriously injured Gongming. I, Cao, are already in the same position with him, not to mention that he fled to Xuzhou. If he flees to the ends of the earth and flees to heaven, we will surely kill him. ”

As soon as Cao Ren's voice fell, many children of the Cao clan also followed suit.

However, a group of scribes such as Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jie, were silent.

It is clear that there has been a disagreement between the civilian and military generals on whether to cross the border to pursue Yuan's army, but there is a serious disagreement.

At that moment, Cao Cao asked: "Gongda Wenhe and Zhongde, what is your opinion?" ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "My lord, you need to be cautious when you cross the border into Xuzhou to pursue Yuan No. ”

Jia Xu also said: "Yes, my lord, Lu Bu is a disciple of the tiger and wolf, if the lord's army enters Xuzhou, no matter what the purpose, Lu Bu will inevitably regard it as a provocation to him, and he will inevitably gather a large army to meet him, so that Yuan can profit from it and easily get rid of the pursuit of our army, isn't it as Yuan wanted?" ”

Cheng Yu also said: "I also thought that I couldn't rashly cross the border to pursue. ”

Cao Ren disagreed, and said, "Lu Bu is just a puppet, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Cao Cao waved his hand to stop Cao Ren, and said to Man Chong: "Boning, I have to bother you to go to Xiapi again, it is best to persuade Lu Bu to send troops to intercept and kill Yuan No." ”

Man Zhong said: "I'm afraid that Lu Bu may not be able to send troops." ”

Cao Cao said: "It's man-made, Bo Ning should go quickly." ”

"No." Full of pets waved and took the order.

(Dividing Line)

Almost at the same time, there was some tension in Xiapi City.

Lu Bu glared at Hou Cheng viciously, and said sharply: "Hou Cheng, in vain I trust you so much, and that's how you repay my trust in you?" Huh? Five thousand Xiliang iron horses, you actually folded two thousand horses, why don't you die? You still have the face to come back to see me, come on, drag this waste down for me, cut it down! ”

Regarding the surprise attack on Xuchang, Lu Bu actually didn't have much expectations.

In Lu Bu's heart, it is good that the surprise attack on Xuchang is successful, but it doesn't matter if the surprise attack fails.

However, Lu Bu never expected that the five thousand iron horsemen brought by Hou Cheng would be broken in half!

These 5,000 iron horsemen are the hundred battle elite horses brought out by Lu Bu from the Bingzhou period, and if one dies, there will be one less, and now there are more than 8,000 horsemen under Lu Bu's command, and now one guy has let Hou Cheng bury more than 2,000, can Lu Bu not feel distressed?

The two pro-soldiers immediately pressed their knives and pushed Hou Chengcheng out.

Hou Cheng hurriedly turned over and knelt on the ground, and begged repeatedly: "The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life, which ...... the lord"

Lu Bu was unmoved, waved his hand again and again, and motioned for his soldiers to push Hou Cheng out and behead him.

Hou Cheng hurriedly changed the object of his request for help to Chen Gong, who was standing next to him, and said: "Mr. Gongtai, Mr. Gongtai, please see that the last general has been born and died for the lord for many years, say a few fair words for the last general, say a few words for the last general, sir, I beg you, I beg you......"

Chen Gong frowned and persuaded Lu Bu to say: "Feng Xian, Hou Cheng lost his master, and he should be beheaded for his crimes, but after all, he has followed you for many years, born and died, and has no merit and hard work, so you can spare him this time for the time being, so as to see the after-effects." ”

Lu Bu still respected Chen Gong's opinion, and he snorted at the moment and said, "This time, for the sake of Mr. Gongtai, I will spare your dog life for the time being, but there will be a next time." Punish both crimes! ”

"Mr. Xie Gongtai. Thank you for not killing. Hou Cheng kowtowed to Chen Gong Lu Bu like pounding garlic.

"Don't get out of here!" Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently. Hou Cheng fled and left Lu Bu.

Seeing Hou Cheng leave, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong again: "Mr. Gongtai, Zhang Liao has just sent the flying cavalry to report, and Yuan Wei'er's thousands of defeated soldiers have already entered Pengcheng, I want to personally lead the army to intercept and kill, in order to recapture the jade seal for the imperial court for the Son of Heaven, but I don't know, does Mr. think it is okay?" ”

"This is absolutely impossible!" Chen Gong said categorically. "The lord must not do this."

"Why is that?" Lu Bu was surprised and asked, "The jade seal of the country is the important weapon of the country, and how can Xiao Xiao covet it, I am the general of the Han Dynasty, Wen Hou, leading the Xuzhou Mu, and I should recapture the jade seal of the country for the Son of Heaven." ”

"Feng Xian, Feng Xian, do you really want to recapture the jade seal of the country for the Son of Heaven?" Chen Gong asked bluntly.

"This ......" Lu Bu couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, of course he didn't really want to regain the jade seal of the country for the Son of Heaven, his real intention was nothing more than to take the jade seal of the country and keep it for himself. It's not that Lu Bu also has the same heart as Yuan Shu to be the emperor, but everyone has a greedy heart. It's a treasure that wants to be your own, not to mention the jade seal of the country?

"Feng Xian, how can I not know your thoughts? But no. Chen Gong said earnestly, "The jade seal of the country is a treasure on the surface, but in fact it is a great scourge, you see, Xianyang Sun Jian got the jade seal, not long after, Sun Jian was ambushed by Huang Zu, and then Yuan got the jade seal, and soon the army was defeated and died, and the two successive jade seals were not allowed to die well, Fengxian do you want to be a third person?" ”

"This ......" Lu Bu's face changed when he heard this.

Lu Bu really hadn't thought about this issue in depth.

Chen Gong said again: "Feng Xian, the jade seal of the country is a scourge, except for the heavenly family, whoever steals it will be unlucky, Feng Xian, you must not have a wrong thought." After a pause, Chen Gong continued, "What's more, Yuan Quan is Cao Cao's great enemy, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so the lord should not only intercept and kill Yuan Nuo, but also give him a gift out of the country." ”

"Okay, forget about the interception." Lu Bu was easily persuaded, and said, "But the gift is still exempt, forgive Yuan is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can he be worthy of my courtesy?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Feng Xian must not underestimate Yuan No, although this son is young, but he knows the soldiers and is tenacious, his achievements are limitless, Feng Xian is courteous to him today, and he can also form a good fate." ”

Lu Bu was surprised and said: "Mr. Gongtai actually thinks so highly of Yuan Xiao'er? ”

Chen Gong said hesitantly: "Can Yuan turn the tide when Yuan Shu has just died, defeat Sun Ce in Lujiang, and even tease Cao Cao's 200,000 army in Runan between applause, is it a fluke?" Such a young man, no matter how high he looks, how can he be underestimated? ”

"Mr. Gongru said it well!" Chen Gong's voice fell, and Chen Deng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Then Chen Deng's figure entered from outside the gate, first slammed at Lu Bu, and then waved at Chen Gong, and then continued: "As Mr. Gongtai said, Yuan can turn the tide when Yuan Shu has just died, and he can defeat Sun Ce in Lujiang, and even play Cao Cao in Runan between applause. It's too late to eradicate it. ”

Lu Bu listened to it and thought it was true, and said to Chen Gong: "Mr. Gongtai, what Yuan Long said is reasonable. ”

"What Chen Deng said is not true!" Chen Gong has a deep prejudice against Chen Deng, and he doesn't even bother to call him a word, so he directly calls him by name, and says, "As the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the strength comparison between the princes of all walks of life is constantly rising and falling, and the current enemy of my Xuzhou is Cao Cao, and Yuan and Cao Cao are mortal enemies, so Yuan should be left to think that he is the help of resisting Cao Cao, and how can he help Cao to eradicate Yuan No?" ”

Lu Bu nodded again and again, feeling that what Chen Gong said was also very reasonable.

Chen Deng said hesitantly: "Zi said, people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, Mr. Gongtai only knows if Yuan can be left to help, but he doesn't know that raising tigers will also be troubled?" ”

Chen Gong sneered again and again, and said: "Even if Yuan is a tiger, he is just a juvenile tiger cub, and Cao Cao is a vicious wolf with sharp teeth and claws, I want to ask, is it better to hunt and kill the tiger cub so that he is buried in the wolf's belly, or keep the tiger cub to fight with the evil wolf, and I will take the opportunity to make a profit?" ”

Chen Deng retorted: "Mr. Gongtai's words are not ...... to Liao."

Seeing that the two were clinging to each other and were about to quarrel again, Lu Bu hurriedly came forward to persuade him: "Okay, okay, don't talk about Mr. Gongtai and Yuanlong, the weather is just right, let's drink, drink." ”

At that moment, Lu Bu couldn't help but say, and ordered someone to set up wine
