"Let me tell you a little bit."

Hearing this, the guard of the gate softened his face slightly, and said with his fists clenched.

"Thank you, sir." The knight naturally didn't dare to object, and bowed his head and said.

Soon after, Cao Cao's main book came out. The master was originally calm and relaxed, but after only a few words of conversation with the knight who came to the newspaper, his face immediately changed greatly.

"Follow me." After saying that, the master bookkeeper flicked his sleeves. Let the carriage be prepared, and take the two knights to Cao Cao's middle camp together.

Something so big has happened, what can I do?

You must know that Cao Gong only inspected the Yellow River today and selected a place to cross the river. But I didn't expect such a thing to happen.

There was such a big thing in the rear.

On the carriage, the heart of the master was in disarray.

Soon after, the chief bookkeeper took the chief officer among the knights and came to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Prime Minister, the rear battle has arrived." Outside the big tent, the master book whispered.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Cao was still talking to Jia Xu, looking very happy. After hearing the sound of the off-the-books master, I couldn't help frowning.

The voice was too low, and it seemed to be deliberately suppressed. In Cao Cao's opinion, this master book was a little too afraid of him.

However, I am also in a good mood at the moment. Cao Cao also did not care about this little thing. I couldn't help but say, "Take it in." ”

As for this rear battle report, Cao Cao didn't care much about it.

In Cao Cao's view, there were 50,000 elite soldiers guarding the city of Xudu, and 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhu Ling as a countermeasure. The grain road, as well as the Xudu, should be very safe.

If Zhao Yun's cavalry dared to take the lead, they would immediately hit them and lie down.

In fact, this is just Cao Cao's obscenity, but in his heart he guesses that the cavalry of Chu State will not fight in the Central Plains. Who would be stupid enough to take out 30,000 cavalry that had just been established for less than a year and rush to the Central Plains?

There are 20,000 iron horsemen of Zhu Ling, who can wipe out the invading enemy at any time.

"No."

Outside the door, the master bookkeeper said yes and walked in with a roll of bamboo slips. Behind him, followed by the knight.

"Prime Minister, this is the battle report from the rear." After coming to the big tent of the Chinese army, the master didn't dare to say a word, but just took a few steps forward and handed the battle report to Cao Cao.

The knight behind him was also very well-behaved, even bowing his head in fear.

How to withstand the wrath of the prime minister?

These two men are a master and a knight. Official positions vary from size to size, and even to people who are disgraced by the world. But at the same time in his heart, he was worried.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? Does he Zhu Ling eat dry rice? 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 cavalry, was actually defeated by Kou Feng's 30,000 cavalry. Lonely wants to raze his nine tribes, nine tribes. ”

The above is the report written by Xun or himself, Zhu Ling was killed, and hundreds of thousands of horses in the horse farm were stolen.

In the process of opening the bamboo slips, Cao Cao's expression was very natural, relaxed, and even a little slow. But when I opened the bamboo slip and saw what was written inside.

Cao Cao's face changed in an instant.

From relaxed and natural, it turned into red, red. It's like the color of pork liver.

Then it was green and white. Then it was white and then it was black, and then it was black and then it was red.

It's like watching a lantern, and it's ever-changing.

The expression on Cao Cao's face was so changeable, angry, incredulous, and monstrous hatred.

For the war mentioned in Xun He's report, the war losses were full of anger and disbelief. For Zhu Ling's failure, there is a great hatred.

The loss was not only the 20,000 elite cavalry capable of fighting well, but also the tens of thousands of war horses they rode. This is the most immediate loss.

The indirect loss was the 200,000 horses of all colors. Without them, Cao Jun's ability to supply war horses would have dropped by one-third.

And the fact that Chu has them is equivalent to having a steady supply of war horses.

How did this not make Cao Cao angry?

And all this is due to Zhu Ling's mistakes, in Cao Cao's opinion, his 20,000 iron cavalry against Zhao Yun's 30,000 Xinding of the Chu State will definitely be able to win a big victory.

Even if you can't win big, there should be a small win. There is simply no possibility of a win, defeat, or even a big defeat.

All this was because of Zhu Ling's command error.

Zhu Ling's Nine Clans really cheapened him.

Cao Cao is rarely angry, not to mention that his face has changed so many times, and the tone of his voice is so angry.

The main book, who had been following Cao Cao for a long time, trembled all over his body and quickly lowered his head.

The main book was so difficult to bear, not to mention the knight who sent the news, he trembled all over, and cold sweat flowed.

Even Jia Xu, who is always happy and angry, is not shocked by honor and disgrace, if he doesn't speak, others can treat him as a candle, and he couldn't help but open his eyes, looking at Cao Cao's changing complexion, and he was a little surprised.

What is it that makes this overlord of the Central Plains so out of shape?

He also threatened to kill the nine clans of Zhu Ling? Although Cao Cao is very easy to kill, he has even done a lot of things like slaughtering cities in his life. But when he treats his subordinates, he mainly buys people's hearts.

Some minor transgressions can be done with one eye open and one eye closed. Even if it is some people who betrayed Cao Cao, then returned to obedience, rebelled again, and returned to obedience, Cao Cao could let it go.

It's not that Cao Cao is generous, but because he can buy people's hearts.

Because Cao Cao knows that talent is the most important thing in troubled times. Therefore, generally Cao Cao would not kill the nine clans of his subordinates. Especially a meritorious man like Zhu Ling, and a person who died in state affairs.

It must have happened that something like heaven and earth must have happened that made Cao Cao so angry, so intemperate and tolerated.

Jia Xu opened his eyes, and the master and the knight were still worried. But none spoke.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, only Cao Cao's heavy wheezing sound remained. It wasn't until a long time later that the wheezing subsided, but Cao Cao's expression did not change back.

It's basically blue and white.

Seeing this, Jia Xu asked, "What happened in the rear that made the prime minister so angry?" ”

Cao Cao was also angry just now, so he lost his temper. At this moment, the anger in my heart gradually calmed down. But the breath of the whole person has become decadent.

smiled bitterly, and then Cao Cao looked at the main book, and the knight said: "Send an official document to Xun He to reassure him." Let's all go down. ”

"No." The knight was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

The clothes on their bodies had already been wet with sweat, and they were afraid that Cao Cao would be angry and kill them. Now that Cao Cao let them go, he naturally walked extremely fast.

Turn around and go.

Looking at the panicked appearance of these two people, Jia Xu was even more thoughtful. I'm afraid it's really big, big.

"What are you talking about, it's cool and cool, and now it's been robbed of the nest. In an instant, it may be Yuan Benchu's disaster. In the main book, after the knight left, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu stood up and bent over to take it.

At first glance, it is also a discoloration.

"Kou Feng's cavalry is so powerful?" Jia Xu lost his voice. This would not have been possible in the past, but this moment did happen.

It was Kou Feng's cavalry that broke the tradition, and everyone knew that the training of cavalry was the most difficult. The Guangzhi army, the most basic spearmen, if you want to train to become an ordinary elite, it is enough to use the last year.

The elite of a hundred battles can only be practiced by fighting bloodily. The cavalry was two years at the least, and three or four years at the most. If you want to become Zhu Ling's 20,000-strong iron horseman, it will take at least three or four years.

Plus dozens of wars of all sizes.

And now Zhao Yun's cavalry has been established for less than a year, and most of them are new, and they don't have the energy to fight any wars. Why did he kill Zhu Ling?

Now in troubled times, the situation has changed abruptly. Most often, the unexpected happens.

I think that when Yuan Shao seized Hebei, when Cao Cao was the weakest, he even had the idea of handing over the family to Yuan Shao as a proton. Who would have thought that more than ten years later, Cao Cao would become the overlord of the north?

But there's a trace.

Cao Cao is the master, and the civil and military officials under his account are also extraordinary people, so he can naturally defeat Yuan Shao.

However, Kou Feng's cavalry was nowhere to be found, so it got up and defeated Zhu Ling's 20,000 iron cavalry so smoothly. This kind of thing, Jia Xu can't keep calm even if he messes around.

It's too exciting.

"It's still Wen He has a steady heart." Cao Cao smiled bitterly again when he heard this. When he first watched it, he thought that Zhu Ling was incompetent, so he was defeated. But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was impossible.

Zhu Ling's character, Cao Cao doesn't like it very much. But he is a good hand at fighting, and he is second only to the five good generals. It is on an equal footing with Li Dian and others.

And the battle of the cavalry is also very simple and straightforward. According to Zhu Ling's ability, he should not be ambushed, or be subject to any conspiracy.

It is conceivable that Zhao Yun's cavalry must be too strong, beyond expectations, and Zhu Ling hated it on the spot.

Under his anger just now, he threatened to kill the nine clans of Zhu Ling, which was too much for Meng Lang.

"The state of Chu has a strong cavalry, which is basically impossible. But now that the facts are in front of us, we can't help but believe it. The Chu State has a strong cavalry, and with the hundreds of thousands of horses looted this time, the cavalry of the Chu State will be even stronger. This is already inevitable. In the future, I will fight a lot. Jia Xu sighed when he heard this, and said.

"What decision does the prime minister have in mind?" Immediately, Jia Xu asked solemnly.

Now the situation is not in Cao Wei, but in Chu State. It's really hard to go.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, and then, looking up to the sky, he sighed and said, "Lone really had a long and beautiful dream this time. It's a pity that dreams are always dreams, and now it's time to wake up. ”

This is Cao Cao's admission that he just discussed with Jia Xu to manage Yongliang, subdue Hanzhong, and thus compete with Kou Feng for the land of Shu, all of which were in a dream.

Flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water.

It's hard to achieve now.

When Cao Cao sighed, he also felt sorry for Jia Xu's strategy. It's a pity that Jia Xu, a peerless strategist, came up with a plan.

Able to divide Ma Teng and Han Sui.

But it's not for me

The ambition was so shattered by one of Zhao Yun's cavalry. At this moment, Cao Cao's mood is very, very complicated.
