Cao Cao is angry, Cao Cao is really angry, this is too fucking bullying, Zhang Fei, you are a brave and unscrupulous old horseman, Lao Tzu besieged Xiangyang with an army of 100,000 for half a month, and even captured Mao. You fucking 20,000 horses, you easily captured Wancheng, and by the way, you ran around Xudu, intimidating the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which is too infuriating.

"Smack!" The celadon bowl fell to the ground, and the body was shattered. Cao Cao trembled, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his facial muscles twitched, and there were signs of a stroke.

"Report! General Cao Ren has arrived! The soldiers opened the curtain and bowed down.

"Please!" When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up with a "Teng", and at this time Cao Ren received the order into the account, bowed to the ground, and said: "I don't know what happened when the prime minister called?" ”

Cao Cao stepped forward, helped Cao Ren up, held Cao Ren's hand, and said, "Zixiao, it's good that you're here!" ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he asked puzzledly: "Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry?" I'm fighting hard in Fancheng! ”

Cao Cao pulled Cao Ren, sat opposite each other, and said: "Zixiao, don't go to Fancheng, Wancheng has fallen, you go and take Wancheng back!" ”

"What? Wancheng lost? When did it happen? Who did this to you? Cao Ren was shocked when he heard this, Wancheng is located in the rear of Cao's army, and it is a necessary place for the transfer of grain and grass in Xudu, and the fall of Wancheng is not a joke.

Cao Cao made a bitter face, sighed and said: "It's just the matter of two days ago, it was Zhang Fei who did it, Zilian is not Zhang Fei's opponent, so I have to send you!" "Cao Hong, the word is cheap.

Cao Ren thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister, it's no problem for me to go, but what about Fancheng?" ”

Cao Cao patted Cao Ren's hand and said with a smile: "Then you don't have to worry, let Zhang Jaw go over to Fancheng!" Zhang Jaw is a fierce general in our army, and he is used to fighting this kind of tough battle, and it is enough to deal with Liao Hua and Zhou Cang, who are young! ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren nodded, and said, "Since the prime minister has thought about it, what else can I say?" All right! I'll go to Wancheng and fight the ring-eyed thief in that Langzhong! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he said with a smile: "The one who can break the ring eye thief is none other than Zixiao!" ”

Cao Ren got up, respectfully bowed to Cao Cao, turned around and left. At this time, a person happened to open the curtain and entered, and when he saw Cao Ren, he quickly retreated to the side and arched his hand: "Humble to meet General Zhengnan!" ”

Cao Ren saw that it was Sima Yi, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhongda, is your father still well?" It's been a long time since I've been to the house! ”

When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes turned red, and tears fell down, Cao Ren was shocked when he saw it, my hand of Sima Yi, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

When Cao Cao saw it, he was also quite strange, got up hurriedly, walked down, and asked, "Zhongda, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sima Yi cried and bowed to the ground and said: "Prime Minister Qiqi, Xu Du has a letter, my father passed away ten days ago, please allow me to return to my hometown to worry!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked and said, "Sima Gong is also ......" Before he finished speaking, he was already in tears. The Sima family and the Cao family are world friends, and when Cao Cao was weak, he stepped into the officialdom, and it was Sima Fang who recommended Cao Cao at that time. Sima Fang and Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, were friends of the same generation, and Cao Cao always treated Sima Fang as a son and nephew. Now that Sima Fang died of a sudden illness, how could Cao Cao not be sad?

Cao Cao helped Sima Yi up, stroked his back and said: "Zhongda, Ling Zun died suddenly, this is what I didn't expect, now the war in Xiangyang is tight, I can't get out, you can take the first step, when I capture Xiangyang, I will return to Xudu and pay homage to Sima Gong!" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he thanked him: "Thank you, Prime Minister!" ”

Sima Fang's death made Cao Cao's already bad mood worse, and after Sima Yi left, Cao Ren and Cao Cao talked again, and then took the order and left.

After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao was alone in the big tent and sad, at this time a soldier opened the curtain and entered, knelt on the ground, and reported: "Prime Minister Qi, General Zhang Jaw has arrived!" ”

"Let him in!"

The soldiers came out with the order, and after a while, Zhang Jaw lifted the curtain and entered the tent, knelt down and saluted: "Open Jaw to meet the prime minister!" ”

Cao Cao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his eyes were a little red, he waved his hand, and said, "There are no outsiders here, no need to be formal, do it!" ”

"Prime Minister Xie!" Get up and sit down with your jaw open, your waist straight, and your eyes don't squint.

Seeing that his jaw was like this, Cao Cao shook his head with a wry smile. Zhang Jaw was originally Yuan Shao's general, during the battle of Guandu, because he was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao listening to Guo Tu's slander, he angrily returned to Cao Cao, and it has been nineteen years since he returned to Cao Cao in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD). But as a surrendered general, Zhang Jaw's identity is embarrassing, and he has always been cautious in doing things, for fear of making a mistake, every time he sees Cao Cao, he is also extraordinarily respectful, and he does not dare to have the slightest neglect, Cao Cao also understands, but it is not easy to persuade!

"Junyi, you know the news of the fall of Wancheng!" Cao Cao picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and asked. 儁乂 is the expression of the jaw.

He opened his jaw and bowed his head, and returned: "Report to the prime minister, I will hear about it in the end!" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "That's good!" I don't need to say anything more to you! I've already let Zixiao go to Wancheng, and after Zixiao leaves, you can go to Fancheng! ”

When Zhang Jaw heard this, he quickly got up and knelt down, and commanded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Seeing this, Cao Cao nodded, and said: "Jun Yi, you are brave and strategic, I can still rest assured, there are few soldiers in Fancheng, your task is to help me drag the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army in Fancheng, as for the rest, you don't have to care!" ”

Zhang Jaw nodded and said, "My subordinates understand!" After saying that, he turned around and took the order.

Cao Ren lit up 20,000 soldiers and horses in the camp, then bid farewell to Cao Cao, waved his army north, Wancheng fell, there was no room for hesitation, and Cao Ren's march was very fast.

Two days later, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have entered the territory of Nanyang County, Nanyang County is the northernmost county of Jingzhou, Wancheng is the county seat of Nanyang, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Xiu occupied Wancheng, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao in order to settle the matter, then gave Wancheng to Zhang Xiu, before the battle of Guandu, Zhang Xiu accepted the advice of the military division Jia Xu, led the troops to Shun Cao Cao, Nanyang County was owned by Cao Cao, until today.

Nanyang County was originally a large county in Jingzhou close to the Central Plains, but due to years of war, a large number of population losses, now it is "white bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles without rooster crowing", standing on the official road in Nanyang, both sides are abandoned land, occasionally you can see the white bones on the side of the road, some flesh and blood are still there, these are mostly poor people who died in war, plague, hunger, thieves, after death, there is no one to collect the body.

Cao Ren had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and in addition to sighing and shaking his head, Cao Ren also knew that he could do something. Suddenly, there was a corpse on the side of the road that had not yet decomposed, dressed gorgeously, and there was a carriage with a broken axle on the side, Cao Ren got off the horse, checked, and saw that he didn't know him, so he shook his head and said: "Seeing that you are also a rich and noble family, I can't bear to be in the wilderness after you die, so I'll do a good deed!" ”

Cao Ren ordered the soldiers to collect the body and bury it on the spot, and after burying it, Cao Ren bowed down three times, bowed down, and left.
