Jiyin County Government, Dingtao ......

"Bang!" There was a loud noise in the council hall of the General's Mansion, and it was the sound of bamboo slips slamming on it.

Cao Cao, as the initiator, stood angrily with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and his voice was full of unimaginable coldness. "Four thousand elite cavalry, more than 1,000 people attacked the enemy at night, and under the defenseless form of the other party, not only did they have no results, but they were defeated and retreated, which ...... This...... This is a ridiculous joke! ”

With only the word anger, it is difficult to describe Cao Cao's excited mood, he has always been calm and calm on weekdays, and rarely shows his feelings like this, and now his expression is enough to show that he has been at the extreme of the outbreak. This is very terrifying, the last time he was so angry was when the army attacked Xuzhou, because of Lu Bu's sudden seizure of Yanzhou.

At such a time, none of the ministers in the hall dared to make a sound, for fear of angering him, and the silence in the council hall was terrifying, dull and depressing.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's ability to control emotions is also very strong, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, which quickly calmed his brain, and then waved his long sleeves heavily and sat back in place, but the sound he made was still extremely cold.

"Xiahou Yuan let the night attack on the enemy camp was defeated, Man Boning attacked the city and fell into a desperate situation, Li Mancheng chased the poor and was ambushed, plus Xiahou Miaocai's quick success! Our army has four generals and more than 10 adjutant generals, and their strength is three times that of the enemy, occupying the right time, place, and people, but not only does no one have a lonely share of worries, but they have lost the impregnable counties of Yingyang and Zhaoling, lost more than 6,000 elite knights, more than 5,000 elite foot soldiers, and lost hundreds of millions of money, food, and materials......

Speaking of this in one breath, Cao Cao's tone paused slightly, and he closed his eyes angrily. "What a brilliant achievement? What a shocking battle? What a shining miracle? Presumably, it must be famous for centuries, famous in history, and praised through the ages! ”

If on weekdays. Such words must have made the ministers laugh early. But no one could laugh now. I didn't dare to laugh, and I didn't even dare to answer.

The people who can sit here are all capable ministers in the world, and they know more or less about some of Cao Cao's personalities, and if they answer now, there will be absolutely no good results, so they can only wait for Cao Cao to slowly calm down and then make plans.

Cao Cao didn't mean to let everyone answer. poured out the anger in his heart. "Shame! Shame! ”

It's just that, with these two sentences of reprimand, everyone can obviously see that the cold on his face has subsided.

"Xiahou Yuan made a surprise attack on the enemy camp, since the enemy camp is not chaotic, why not retreat quickly, but fight with it? There can be long-distance attacks in the world, and the reason for fighting the enemy for a long time with a tired army is a big mistake? ”

"Li Mancheng attacked Shangqiu Village, since the enemy army has retreated, the movement is unknown. How can you chase down the poor in the middle of the night? ”

"Man Boning joined the army for Yingchuan and Runan counties, and he was responsible. If we do not find out the situation of the enemy on all sides, we should be cautious and cautious if we have not reported back for a long time. I have repeatedly instructed in my previous decree that if the yellow scarf has been lowered, then retreat quickly and let Wang Xu do it, can't you understand the truth in this? Without accurate information, how can troops be hastily dispatched? ”

After reading everyone's mistakes one by one, Cao Cao didn't reprimand anyone again, but ordered quickly: "In addition to Cao Hong, the four generals Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Manzhong, and Li Mancheng will be demoted by one level and fined for half a year. ”

Hearing this, the ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts relaxed, it seemed that although Cao Cao was angry, he did not really mean to punish a few people.

It's just that this defeat is a huge loss, someone must be responsible, and several generals on the front line have made mistakes, so naturally they can't run away.

Seeing Cao Cao's return to normalcy, Xun Yu in the hall was finally the first to speak. "The lord is angry, since this matter has happened, it is necessary to immediately resolve the defeat of Yingchuan. Now Wang Xu led his troops to attack Linying, our army was defeated one after another, morale was low, his heart was afraid, and Linying's food was also insufficient, and he was afraid of mutiny for a long time. ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded slightly, in fact, he also knew it, but he was just angry in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he had already decisively ordered: "Cao Chun, happy to enter!" Order the two of you to lead 4,000 tigers and leopards and 10,000 tigers and leopards to Yingchuan! ”

"If Sergeant Wang Xu is still there when you arrive, you don't need to fight with him, you just need to make a big fanfare, and he will retreat! If it has already evacuated Yingchuan, then immediately stationed in the father city, Xiahou Yuan led his troops to Zhaoling! ”

"No!" The two of them immediately took the order and left.

Cao Cao then looked at Cheng Yu, who was sitting upright, and said in a soothing tone: "Zhongde, the safety of Yingchuan is very important, it is the gateway to resist Jingzhou, so you will personally take on the post of Yingchuan Taishou, and hope that you will do your best to rectify Yingchuan, accept the hearts of the people, and if you need help, you can send someone to report at any time!" ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Cheng Yu didn't say anything more, and gave up.

Cao Cao was a very wise monarch, and now was the time of his rapid expansion, and he did not care too much about the victory or defeat of this battle, and quickly turned his attention to other matters in Yanzhou and Yuzhou......

The wind is always so unpredictable, always releasing an indescribable charm, or whistling, or caressing, or mourning, or heroic, constantly recording and telling the world's qiē, including emotions!

Wang Xu stood quietly on the hill, flying in white, standing with his hands in his hands, and a boulder under his feet set off his figure tall and distant. The eagle-like gaze looked at the Central Plains in the distance, full of undisguised longing.

Ling Wanqing had just received the news from the fast horse and rushed here, but she saw that arrogant figure, tall and strong, as if she was standing in the past!

Her pace slowed down little by little, slower and slower, slower and slower, and finally stopped in place, and suddenly forgot what needed to be reported, forgot the spy shadow, forgot all the qiē, and only the figure in front of her lingered in her mind!

The wrinkled eyebrows gradually dispersed, and the charming eyes that exuded infinite temptation gradually became blurred, at this moment she was crazy, just so obsessively looking, in love, and confused!

If someone else is here, I'm afraid I can't believe it at all, this is the spy commander who is known as the ghost-faced snake heart!

At this moment, she has no charming mask, nor is she ruthless and cold, she is just an obsessed face as young as a young girl, the breeze lifts the hair on her forehead, and a faint flush appears on her white and tender face. Gentle as a budding flower. Blooming with endless shyness and beauty!

Pity. No one appreciated this scene, even Wang Xu, who had his back to her, couldn't bear it, maybe it was because the things he was thinking about were too heavy, he didn't look back, he just asked lightly: "Wanqing, is there something wrong?" ”

"Huh? Oh......" Ling Wanqing woke up suddenly, and the blush on her face immediately subsided, recovering her usual charm. "Lord Qi. There is an urgent report from Jiyin County! ”

"Read!" Wang Xu's voice was still very indifferent.

"The main force of the Cao army is dispatched, about 4,000 elite tigers and leopards are riding, and 10,000 tigers and leopards are rushing to Yingchuan!" Ling Wanqing replied leisurely.

Wang Xu took a deep breath and asked, "Who is in charge of the troops?" ”

"Due to the rush of time, I can't find out who is in charge of the troops, and I only know the number in the report at present!" Ling Wanqing replied.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, didn't say more, and didn't mention Cao Jun's matter again.

After being silent for a long time, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Ling Wanqing: "Wanqing." Come up and sit? ”

"Huh?" Ling Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but did not react.

Wang Xu then teased: "What? Ling Damei is not willing to sit at the same table with me, a rough man? ”

The lord laughed. How could a subordinate have such an idea? Ling Wanqing smiled softly, but she was also generous enough to jump onto the boulder.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then sat side by side on the boulder.

"Wanqing, do you think the Central Plains is beautiful?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"Beautiful!" Ling Wanqing didn't hesitate, but at this moment, I was afraid that no matter how she asked her, she would say this, because it was her heart that felt sweet.

Wang Xu showed a look of reminiscence, and chattered: "Yes! It's beautiful, my hometown in this life is also over there, I still remember that there is a big tree in the mansion of the king of Shanyang, I used to read under the tree, and I didn't think it was very special at the time, but now I miss it so much, and I don't know if it's still there! ”

Hearing this, Ling Wanqing suddenly fell silent, her eyes were a little dazed: "I remember when I was a child, there seemed to be one in my yard, and at that time my parents often teased me under the tree, but unfortunately I can't even blur what the tree looks like now!" ”

Wang Xu was also silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Where is your home?" Check back in the future! ”

"I don't know!" Ling Wanqing shook her head sadly, suddenly bent her slender and round legs, clasped her hands on her knees, buried her head between her legs, and curled up: "I only remember that one day my parents suddenly hugged me, and left the house with more than ten people who seemed to be domestic servants, running, running!" Keep running! I don't know how long I ran, but then they died, and it was the master who saved me, and then sued me who was the enemy, but never said where my home was! ”

Looking at Ling Wanqing's delicate appearance at the moment, Wang Xu suddenly felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help but say out loud: "Wanqing, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family!" ”

Ling Wanqing's body trembled inadvertently, and then shook her head: "I don't want it!" ”

Wang Xu smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this? Isn't it good to meet a good man and try to open his heart? Must live alone? ”

"No!" Ling Wanqing was extremely resolute.

"Hey!" Wang Xu didn't say anything more, sighed, and looked into the distance. "You have been with me for so many years, conscientious, running back and forth, are you tired? If you are tired one day, sue me, I will make an exception to allow you to leave office and live freely within the confines of Xiangyang, I believe you! ”

When Ling Wanqing heard this, she was suddenly very excited: "No, absolutely not!" I'm going to stay in the spy forever, I'm going to stay in your ...... forever."

The word "you" in the back was very vague, she couldn't hear it clearly, and she didn't have the courage to say it, so she suddenly softened and said as if pleading: "Lord, will I be asked to leave the spy forever?" Don't chase me! ”

Wang Xu didn't expect Ling Wanqing to react so much, he just felt sorry for Ling Wanqing. "How so? I'm just saying that on the premise that you are willing, if you want to talk about it, I am reluctant for you to leave the spy shadow, and it is complicated for you to leave the spy shadow, I don't dare to let you leave Xiangyang, what if someone else arrests you, one-third of the high-level of the spy will be exposed! ”

"That's not going to happen, I won't say it even if I'm dead!" Ling Wanqing hurriedly spoke, but then said incoherently: "But I won't leave the spy shadow, never!" ”

Wang Xu smiled slightly and said with pity: "As long as you like it, then let it be!" ”

Ling Wanqing didn't speak again, but suddenly felt very cold, very cold, and didn't know where she got the courage, and suddenly said softly: "Lord, can I borrow your chest?" It's a little cold! ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, but then relieved, thinking that Ling Wanqing was because of the fragility of her heart, and she had no one to rely on and no home, so she led such a request.

After all, Ling Wanqing has always rejected all men, has never kept silent about feelings, used a charming mask to cover himself, and rarely showed any true emotions, extremely good at disguise, he can't read minds, how can he understand so much.

Soon he naturally opened his arms and quipped: "You can use it at any time!" ”

"Thank you!" Ling Wanqing murmured softly and snuggled into Wang Xu's arms.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, her breathing was getting faster and faster, her face was flushed, and she was suddenly glad that the impulse just now, although it was only for a moment, and it was even unusual, but she didn't care!

It's a pity that Wang Xu can't see her ruddy and happy smile!

The two of them just sat quietly, without saying anything, and the figures blending with each other stretched long, very long...... (To be continued......)
