However, when Cao Cao hurriedly returned, everyone felt disappointed. Xu Chu, the close general, was injured, and his expression was not the joy of victory.

Everyone was disappointed, but they didn't dare to show it.

"Come on, help Zhongkang down and treat it well." Cao Cao entrusted Xu Chu to one of the guards in the palace. A word of advice.

Immediately, he said to Xu Chu: "Take good care of your injuries and fight Zhang Fei again in the future." ”

"No." Xu Chu and the guards agreed together, especially Xu Chu, when he heard the cold light in his eyes, he was rarely injured.

Today is probably the heaviest one. Zhang Fei. Xu Chu felt that he had remembered this name in his heart.

Cao Cao gently patted Xu Chu's shoulder to soothe. A moment later. Turned and walked into the hall.

In the hall, the ministers immediately took their eyes back.

"This time, Lone was defeated. Thousands of elite soldiers were lost in the Koufeng camp. Thankfully, it won't be damaged. Cao Cao ignored everyone, and the big horse golden knife walked up to the top and knelt down, although he failed, but there was no discouragement on his face.

On the contrary, that breath of heart is considered to be out. The face is actually much better than before departure.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Ming Gong doesn't have to worry about it." Although Xun Or opposed Cao Cao's night attack, at this time, when he saw Cao Cao admit defeat, he couldn't help but say comfort.

"Haha, Wen Ruo doesn't have to care. There have been countless battles in his life, and defeat is really a common thing. Cao Cao let out a hearty laugh.

Seeing that Cao Cao had finally returned to normal, both the ministers and the generals present were relieved. The rational Cao Cao is a hero, and the Cao Cao who has lost his mind is a bursting bear.

The difference between the two is too great.

"The Kou Feng who is out of the army." Chen Qun raised his fist and asked.

"Let him go on his own. Since he didn't attack the city, would he stay here for a few years? You must know that if you hold for a long time, you will lose, and maybe one day you will come to a lonely place, and there will be a few more sneak attacks. and he uprooted his great battalion. So. He will go on his own. Cao Cao shook his head and said.

The recovery of his sanity made Cao Cao extremely calm.

Kou Feng was just trying to provoke him and ask for a decisive battle.

"No." Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and promised.

Although Cao Cao failed this time, the hearts of the ministers improved a little. After Cao Cao said a few words to his ministers, he "ordered them to go back."

After waiting for half the night, I was tired.

After everyone left, Cao Cao sat alone for a while. I went to Mrs. Bian's room in the inner courtyard.

Since these days, Cao Cao's temper has been hot, and he scolded Mrs. Bian for no reason. Let Mrs. Bian tremble. Cao Cao felt guilty.

When Cao Cao came in, Madame Bian was still waiting.

The news of Cao Cao's expedition, of course, she knew that she was "a little worried, so she waited until now."

"The Prime Minister is back." Although I was a little scared to face Cao Cao these days. But Mrs. Bian was still happy to see Cao Cao return safely.

got up to greet Huang, "These days, Lone has left you cold." Cao Cao sighed, and unexpectedly took Mrs. Bian into her arms, Mrs. Bian didn't expect Cao Cao to come to this hand, and she was relieved. Shyness again.

He glared back at a few of his personal maids. The maids smiled knowingly, bowed their heads, and walked out.

"Is the battle going well?" They hugged each other for a moment," Mrs. Bian asked in a low voice. Although it felt good to be hugged by Cao Cao, Mrs. Bian was more worried about the battle ahead, "The 130,000 army is stationed outside, and she really can't sleep well at night."

"It's going well, it's estimated that Kou Feng will retreat after a while." Cao Cao said with a smile.

Hugging Mrs. Bian's waist, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Mrs. Ding. But. At this moment, the sense of humiliation in Cao Cao's heart was much less.

Instead, I was thinking. If it was the first battle in Wancheng, he would not be so lustful, when he just descended to embroidery. It's because of the fame of the department. And ordered Zhang Xiu to be served.

made another stupid move, and sent someone to pay a lot of money to make friends with Hu Che'er, a fierce general under Zhang Xiu's tent.

There will be no Wancheng World War "middle-aged lost son and went to nephew." No Dian Wei.

At that time, I was not in a good mood" When I came back, I was left away by Mrs. Ding.

Now think about it, "That's the cause and the effect." He didn't ask Mrs. Ding for too many qualifications. Do you want her to be a widow for the rest of her life?

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, facing it very squarely for the first time, and regretting the incident in Wancheng.

However, to be honest, Zhang Xiu's kid is also quite capable. It took several conquests to take Wancheng, if it weren't for Zhang Xiu's ability and many military exploits, I am afraid that he would have been killed by him a long time ago.

Cao Cao is a relatively open-minded person. This will remind him of Zhang Xiu. There wasn't much hatred either.

Hugging Mrs. Bian tightly, Cao Cao's thoughts drifted far away. Suddenly, something caught his attention. Immediately, I felt that it was somewhat feasible.

Kou Feng was right, Cao Cao thought of Wancheng and Zhang Xiu through Mrs. Ding. Naturally, I thought of Zhang Xiu's excellence.

and the few times he failed, Cao Cao failed twice in Wancheng. One of them won first and then lost. Cao Cao remembered this incident very clearly, when he retired from the army, Jia Xu designed to chase him for the second time.

And tonight he attacked Kou Feng's camp at night, will Kou Feng relax his guard? At least, the generals under Kou's tent are always a little derelict in their duties.

For example, Zhang Fei, this person Cao Cao knows that he is a fierce general. But there is also some recklessness. Back then, Xuzhou was taken by Lu Bu because of Zhang Fei's negligence.

Besides, listening to Xu Chu, Zhang Fei was also injured.

With a little thought, Cao Cao was able to begin calculating the feasibility.

Mrs. Bian felt Cao Cao's hands getting tighter and tighter, as if she was about to break her waist. At first, I could hold back, but after a while, I couldn't stand it.

, "Prime Minister." ”。 Mrs. Bian said to Cao Cao with a little pain.

"Something came to mind...... Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this, lowered his head and suddenly saw Mrs. Bian's painful face, and couldn't help but apologize.

"It's okay...... Mrs. Bian shook her head and paused. asked intimately and obediently: "What did the prime minister think of?" ”

, "Maybe you don't need to let Kou Feng retreat, just defeat him and leave...... Cao Cao said to Mrs. Bian with a smile. I didn't say it all the time, I just said maybe.

This matter still has to be discussed with the advisers, especially Jia Xu.

Mrs. Bian was taken aback, but she was even more happy. Although she does not understand military affairs. But I also know that there is a huge difference between Kou Feng's self-retreat and Cao Cao's defeat of Kou Feng.

"Madame, go to sleep." Lone still has to go...... Cao Cao thought about it in his heart and felt that it was still feasible. I couldn't help but say to Mrs. Bian.

"Prime Minister go." Don't blame it. ，。 Mrs. Bian said softly.

Cao Cao nodded, let go of Mrs. Bian, and strode out.

After returning to the hall, Cao Cao planned to send someone to find Jia Xu. But when I thought about it, Jia Xu had just gone back. Again. It also takes a little time to go back and forth.

It's still late at night, and there's a chance to do it again. It would be a pity if it was delayed in vain.

Thinking about it, Cao Cao found a guard and said: "Go to find Xiahou Shen, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin" and ordered them to prepare 10,000 soldiers and horses to be on standby at any time......

The guard was taken aback, why did the prime minister just come back, and he was going to go out of the city to fight again? But. Although surprised. But he's a little guard. Of course, I didn't dare to say anything. Say yes. The three generals were quickly informed.

After the guards left, Cao Cao ordered someone to get a war horse, rode out of the prime minister's mansion, and went straight to Jia Xu's mansion.

Jia Xu is a person who is obscure by nature. He is now in a very high official position, and he is especially trusted by Cao Cao. But his conceit is not Cao Cao's lineage.

Therefore, if Cao Cao did not ask him for advice, he would not take the initiative to answer. The place where he lives is not a high-level mansion, but a medium-to-low mansion.

Like the usual rich people.

He married his daughter. Marry a daughter-in-law. They are also looking for those who are very low-ranking people. Taoguang has been obscure so far, and it can be regarded as a generation of strange people.

When Cao Cao came to look for him, not long after Jia Xu came back, he planned to sleep next to his wife after his clothes were loose. Jia Xu Taoguang is obscure. Personality is calm and extreme.

There are only a few wives and concubines by his side, and his wife is not stunning, plus she is old and decrepit. But Jia Xu never gave up.

When people came to report, Cao Cao came late at night. Jia Xu was also taken aback. Immediately, Cao Cao's intentions were guessed. The army was defeated, and he came here late at night.

There was nothing else but a rematch.

Jia Xu smiled apologetically at his wife who was woken up next to him, and said, "The prime minister is here...... After saying a word, Jia Xu walked out.

When Cao Cao came here, he naturally would not be shut out. The subordinate had already been invited into the hall, and Jia Xu went straight to the hall.

In the hall, Cao Cao sat on the top of the throne. Seeing Jia Xu walking in, he couldn't help but smile a little. asked, "Didn't bother Wenhe, right?" ……

, "The prime minister came just in time, and he hasn't slept yet...... Jia Xu owed to Cao Cao and said with a smile. said. He walked straight to a seat next to him and sat down on his knees.

"I don't know if the prime minister is visiting late at night, do you want to fight again?" ，。 After sitting down, Jia Xu took the initiative to ask.

, "The one who knows me is also ...... Cao Cao said so. But there was no surprise on his face. said. Cao Cao pondered for a moment and asked Jia Xu, "I don't know if Wenhe can remember the battle of Wancheng?" ……

In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao lost too much. Jia Xu Taoguang is obscure, and it is also because of this.

He suddenly mentioned Wancheng, and Jia Xu's heart fluctuated slightly. However, it calmed down in an instant. He knew that Cao Cao was not the one who settled accounts after the autumn. Looking at Zhang Xiusheng now, you will know it.

And Jia Xu Tao's obscurity is just due to his nature. Since it's not a post-autumn reckoning. Pi is the battle of Wancheng, which is somewhat related to tonight.

Jia Xu couldn't help but squint his eyes and think about it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and asked Cao Cao, "Paint a tiger according to a cat?" ……

"Lone really wants to paint a tiger like a cat, I don't know what the text and meaning are?" ，。 Cao Cao smiled and nodded in acknowledgement.
