~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In May of the fifth year of Jian'an, Huainan, ten miles northeast of Tushan Riverbank. The tidal flats are covered with lush cattails, and unknown insects and birds feed in the grass, making the grass blades rattle. The sound of heavy footsteps broke the silence of the riverbank, and there was a sneering sound among the grass, the water rippled, the birds fluttered their wings and soared, and the fish and insects rushed into the water.

Yishi, a patrol soldier wearing Cao Jun's uniform, was carrying a spear and a knife, and walked down the overgrown dirt slope more than ten zhang from the river bank with a depressed expression.

It's no wonder that these Cao pawns are listless, since it took three months for the coalition army to finally defeat Xiquyang and advance to Shouchun City, after two whole months, there was no advance at all. When the army besieges the city, it is the most taboo to besiege it, and the longer it lasts, the more demoralization hurts. At present, the morale of Cao's army is in a low state, especially the patrolmen patrolling the rear of Cao's camp.

The weather was hot and humid, and the patrol was the hardest, and when they arrived at the bank of the river, they threw down their swords and spears one after another, and rolled up their sleeves and trousers into the water. Wash your face, splash your body, rub your back, or simply strip naked and swim in the water.

Someone mentioned catching fish for barbecue, and it immediately got a unanimous response. So he went ashore to pick up his gun, stood in the shallow water and stabbed the fish, and after a while, he actually gained quite a lot. The Cao pawns were tossing and turning, when they heard someone shouting, "Look, what is that?" ”

When all the Cao army patrols heard the sound and looked up, they saw white sails hidden in the distance on the river to the east. Obviously, it was a boat, and it was normal to have sails and boats on the river, but ...... Too much!

Half a moment later, I could see it very clearly. A large field of white sails covered almost half of the river. The five building ships were lined up, the sails were full of wind, the oars were flying, and they were advancing rapidly against the current, and I don't know how many warships were following behind......

Cao Shu was dumbfounded, looked at each other, and suddenly let out a "monkey" scream, and one by one he burst out of the water with red stripes and wet drenching, and rushed ashore like a ghost. picked up his clothes and weapons, and ran desperately to Dangtu City, which was more than ten miles away.

Soon, when Cao Ang, the general of Tu Shou, led a hundred horsemen to gallop to the city, he saw that no less than 50 boats of all sizes had been moored in front of the river ferry. There were sturdy ships, troop sills, light ships, and a long line of grain ships.

As for the flag on the roof of the cabin, it made Cao Angwang change color - the red dragon flag of the Han Dynasty and the white wolf headhunting flag complement each other, and the wolf pupils inlaid with jasper. Under the fierce river breeze, it rolls like waves with the flag, and the green light flashes faintly, like a living thing.

Cao Ang's life was the saddest, nightmare-like years. It was in the shadow of this wolf flag that he spent his time. It can be said that how big the wolf flag is unfolded, how big is the area of his psychological shadow. Therefore, when I saw the wolf flag at first glance, my whole face was pumped. The joints of his hands turned white, his arms trembled, and he didn't know whether it was fear or anger. Or both.

At the same time as Cao Jun rushed to the shore, the hatch of the largest building ship opened widely, and a military general walked out, followed by dozens of followers.

But I saw that this military general was twenty-seven or eighteen, wearing a feather crown on his head, a wide forehead, heavy eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and two points of essence flashing. This person was no more than a medium size, but when he walked out of the cabin of the flying house wearing a tight-fitting rhino skin vest, a double halberd on his back, and a large bow, he gave people a sense of danger as a leopard coming out of a hole.

Cao Ang was sure that he had been in Luoyang for two years and had never seen this person, and the sense of danger was very strong - who was he?

"A certain Han dragon wolf army folded the captain Gan Ning Gan Xingba, according to the order of the Son of Heaven, the order of the general, led three thousand sailors, dozens of warships, selected the front to the south, and conquered the national thief Yuan Shu."

Gan Ning, it turns out that he is the Bashu thief who came out of Nanyang! Cao Ang suddenly, a chill appeared from the inside out, it was time to come!

Cao Ang's mind was spinning rapidly, and he smiled reluctantly: "It turned out to be Nanyang Ganxingba, who has suppressed the name for a long time." ”

Cao Ang This is not a clichΓ©, Gan Ning has recently become one of the topics of Cao Ying's generals, of course, most of them have nothing to say.

Gan Ning also replied: "Cao Zixiu's name has been suppressed for a long time. ”

Cao Ang's face seemed to have been slapped in the face, it was hot and painful, of course he was also a little famous in Luoyang, of course, it was not a good name. In recent years, he has been working hard to wash away the stigma, but the effect is not obvious, and at this time, listening to Gan Ning's hidden response, he is naturally annoyed and angry.

However, the house arrest in the past two years has made Cao Ang's character more forbearance and city government, and the smile on his face has not diminished: "Brother Xingba is a guest from afar, if you don't dislike it, please go into the city for a while, and you can also let the dragon wolf rest and recuperate, and then replenish the fleet with water and food." ”

Gan Ning handed the big bow to his entourage, and smiled: "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest prince, it has been a thousand miles of bumps, and a certain family also wants to rest, but it is a pity that there is military affairs in the body, and I can't help myself." According to the lord's order, he must arrive in Shouchun today and submit a letter of persuasion to Yuan Shu. Hurry up, hurry up. ”

Cao Ang said that he could not "retain" Gan Ning and his fleet, so he could only express regret.

The dragon wolf army came, which was not something that Cao Ang could handle, so Cao Ang left more than 20 horsemen to monitor the naval warship and sent flying horsemen to report to Cao Cao under Shouchun City.

Gan Ning ignored it, and after the whole fleet had lunch, he untied the cable and set sail to continue westward.

An hour later, at the beginning of Shenpai, the dragon and wolf vanguard naval fleet arrived in the northeast of Shouchun almost at the same time as the fast cavalry sent by Cao Ang. It is more than 20 miles away from Shouchun, and it is also 20 miles away from Xiquyang, where Cao Cao is located.

Gan Ning ordered: "Dock the ship, and the whole army will be on alert." Send a letter to Cao Ying, asking the messenger to go ashore with me to meet Cao Gong. ”

……

Bagong Mountain, more than 100 years after another time and space, a famous battle took place, which can be called a classic of winning more with less. "The wind is loud, and the grass and trees are soldiers" originated from this. Of course, in this time and space, history has long been unrecognizable, and everything is different.

At this moment, on the mountain road of Siding Mountain, the main peak of Bagong Mountain, Cao Cao was walking slowly up accompanied by Xu Chu and a group of followers.

It was dusk, the sunset was like fire, and the clouds were like flames, shining on the faces and bodies of a group of people on the top of the mountain, as if standing by the bonfire.

Cao Cao saw it from afar, folded his sleeves and laughed: "Ziyuan, I'm here." ”

One of the people on the top of the mountain looked back when he heard the voice, and it was the imperial envoy who sent Huainan this time. Too often.

A smile appeared on Xu You's thin face, stretched out his hand to point at Cao Cao, and said with a smile: "Ah Hide, Ah Hide, I didn't expect you and I to meet here after nearly ten years of separation." Hahahaha! ”

Xu Chu was secretly angry, even if you are an envoy of the court and an old friend of the lord, it is extremely rude to call the lord by his nickname in front of everyone. If it weren't for seeing that Xu You was just a weak old guy, he would have made him look good...... Not. There is a bad breath!

Xu Chu's muscles tensed, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he glared at the source of evil qi, and saw a general wearing a feather crown, vigorous and powerful, and a fierce aura exuding from his body, staring at him tightly. When the eyes of the two touched, their pupils shrank, like tigers and leopards meeting on the mountain road. Fry the hair at the same time.

The two fierce generals competed silently, while the two old brothers Cao Cao and Xu Yu laughed and walked arm-in-arm, looking extremely affectionate.

On the pu mat laid out by Xu Yu in advance, the two sat opposite each other. Start with three glasses.

After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao spoke: "It turns out that Ziyuan actually came with the navy, but when he was too much, he disappeared, and the dog was unknown. Otherwise, the has come to Huaishang to greet each other. ”

Xu You said with a smile: "Going down by boat, it is more comfortable than traveling by land, and there is a sailor escort. Feel more at ease. It's not just me, it's Liu Ziyang, and I'm also walking all the way, but they each have their own missions in Huaiyin and go their separate ways. ”

Mission! Cao Cao immediately noticed this keyword, paused the wine lord in his hand, and said slowly: "I don't know what the general's order is?" ”

Cao Cao did not say what the Son of Heaven had to order, but said that the general, and there was obviously a sarcasm in his words, implying that Ma Han arbitrarily arbitrarily exercised power and did not take the Son of Heaven in his eyes.

Xu You didn't answer, but just opened the package and took out a golden silk nanmu box.

In this compartment, the two fierce men glared at each other like bullfights, and the dialogue was as follows:

"It's Nanyang Ganxingba at your feet?"

"Exactly."

"Xu Zhongkang, a certain country, will build a yì for the next one."

"Gan listened."

"There is an old friend, who can be crowned with strength, and there is no pair in the world, and he is sorry to protect the Lord and die, and this king is a pair of big iron halberds. A certain thinks that he is the only one in the world who can carry a pair of iron halberds...... Hmm, do you understand? ”

"Understood." Gan Ning patted the double halberd on his back expressionlessly, "If you can take it off with your bare hands, Gan will no longer carry the halberd from now on." ”

Xu Chu squinted, stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked it, and said with a cruel smile: "Okay! He said just one good word, and his hand was stretched out.

At this time, Xu You's voice came from his ears: "This is the seal given by the Son of Heaven, Meng De, please take it." ”

Seals? Xu Chu was startled, his hand stretched out halfway and stopped, and Gan Ning's ready blow was also stopped.

Cao Cao didn't take the seal, only glanced at it from a distance, and laughed: "Ting Wei! As the secretary, the general really looks up to Cao. ”

Xu You arched his hands and said with a smile: "Presumably, when Ah Pu was the lieutenant of the northern part of Luoyang, he was not afraid of the powerful and killed the uncle of the eunuch Shuo with a five-colored stick. Leap to become one of the nine kings, over time, it is not difficult to become the third prince. Ah, congratulations. ”

When Cao Cao was young, he was promoted to filial piety and served as the lieutenant of northern Luoyang. As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he affirmed the ban, strict law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks, which were hung around the yamen, "Those who violate the ban will be killed with sticks." Shi Quan's eunuch Jianshuo's uncle Jian Tu violated the ban on night walking, and Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-colored stick. As a result, "the Beijing master has accumulated traces, and no one dares to offend", this is the most praised deeds of Cao Cao in his early years. And Tingwei is the official in charge of the national punishment, which is equivalent to the president of the Supreme Court, and it is quite commensurate to Cao Cao in this position.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and was silent, and when he raised his head, he touched Xu Chu's eyes that were staring at copper bells, and the latter shook his head vigorously and shook his hair like a fluff. Cao Cao smiled knowingly and faced Xu You: "Cao is a man, it is difficult to leave his homeland, and he has no intention of fame. ”

Yuzhou Mudu is willing to give up, and would rather be the Taishou of the county than enter the court, which is to retreat into advance.

Xu You took a sip of sake slowly, sighed, as if he was savoring, and smiled faintly: "Right now, it's just to persuade you, but by your tongue, if the general comes to persuade you, hehe...... Where did he think it would come from? ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed: "Will the general come in person?" ”

Xu You said leisurely: "In May in the south of the Yangtze River, the smoke and rain are like silk, the leaves are like frost, and the white deer are running to the plain, it is the period of the hunting meeting, do you think so?" (To be continued......)
