Collect the corpses, place the wounded soldiers, comfort the dead, and calm the hearts of the army, a tragic offensive and defensive battle was fruitless, and Cao **, as the chief general, was not idle.

The guards reminded and urged several times, but there was no response. It was easy to wait for the general of the first army, when the general had finished dealing with these trivial matters, but he still didn't mean to eat, but hurried to the back camp. Looking in that direction, it seems that it is not going to the camp of Mr. Fengxiao or General Dian, but to another place.

The guards were amazed in their hearts, and at the same time they quickly followed, wondering what it was and who could make the winner leave his injured beloved general, and he was not in a hurry to ask all the talented gentlemen, but came to such a remote corner?

The camp of nearly 100,000 troops, if not the whole army is gathered together, is a large complex of buildings that stretches for more than ten miles. From the middle army to the corner of the edge, if you only walk with your feet, it will take half an hour!

Walked and walked, until he reached the northernmost part of the camp, where the coolies and untrusted generals were stationed, and Cao ** stopped. Judging by the place where he stopped, it was obvious that he had come specifically for the owner of this tent.

The tent was lit with a lamp, and you could smell the rich smell of wine and the sound of people talking from afar.

The guards were even more surprised, you can't drink alcohol in the army, this is an iron law, unless you break the city to celebrate, otherwise even if you are like Mr. Fengxiao, you don't dare to make an exception. But I never thought that in such a place, there would be people who disregarded military orders?

Could it be that the lord came here on purpose, just to get a secret report, and is ready to catch a typical one to sacrifice the flag? But the art of war is cloudy: the defeated army should be commended. Today's battle can't be said to be a defeat, after all, the overall situation is still favorable to oneself, but after all, it was lost for a while, and this time doesn't seem to be a good time to take military discipline seriously, right?

Cao ** walked in a hurry on the road, but when he got to the ground, he was not in a hurry, he just stood outside the tent, as if he was attracted by the talk in the tent, and gestured to keep everyone silent. Of course, the guards did not dare to disobey the order, but curiosity was inevitable, and they all leaned forward and listened with bated breath.

It doesn't matter if you don't listen, when you hear it, everyone is shocked wildly, and their faces change drastically.

"A rabbit bites when it's in a hurry, let alone a tiger?" The high-minded talker's tone was full of disdain, and he also named Cao **, without any respect: "Meng De is a resourceful, a city government, and a vision, Xu Zijiang's evaluation is not wrong at all, but his biggest shortcoming is that he is too impatient and easy to get carried away." ”

"What do you mean by that?" A young man's voice followed, listening to his tone, not only did he not feel frightened, but he sincerely asked for advice.

"What else, in a hurry." The person who spoke before was not in a hurry to answer, and poured a sip of wine, and then laughed: "This is actually a matter of temperament, and what is the reason for temperament?" That's right, it's nothing more than identity! Dezu, think about it, who are the Cao family for two generations? Well, it doesn't matter, you don't have to say it, you can just know it in your heart......"

The guards trembled when they heard this, no one dared to go up, if they didn't dare to leave their posts without permission, I was afraid that they would swarm their heads and run away. Although it is not yet possible to confirm the identity of the person in the account, a rough name has already surfaced in my mind, Baume & Mercier! To be precise, it is a madman among Baume & Mercier!

The most terrible thing about this kind of people is that they dare to say anything, and how ugly they are. What does it say now? Expose the short wow! It's no different from slapping people in the face! In front of the Cao and Xiahou families, the most taboo is this topic, basically who says who dies, there is only one exception, that is, crazy birth.

There is no way, but most of the people who scold and are fierce are very famous, and it is easy to catch and slaughter, and the aftermath will be troublesome. At least one who is not elegant and does not pay attention to talents will not be able to run away. If it's more serious, maybe it will be called jealousy.

This is an era in which fame is almost synonymous with power, and who has nothing to poke this kind of hornet's nest?

The madmen in the tent can't live and die, and they are not afraid of death, but they are wronged by these soy sauce passers-by. The lord is not a soft-hearted person, he is angry here, and if he can't keep it, he will be on his own group of nobodies, this kind of thing, if you can hide, you must try to hide.

Because of his bad background, he was very eager to prove himself, when he entered the East County, he was eager to integrate resources and train a new army in order to compete with Qingzhou. Bian Wenli and the others just said a few words, and he became so angry that he blatantly committed murder, in the final analysis, it was not that he was extremely vicious, it was nothing more than inferiority and did not dare to face the reality. ”

The speaker's tone carried a sense of loneliness and sadness: "It's the same this time, obviously he has the trump card in his hand, but he can't even wait for two or three days, and he wants to attack the city." Although there are few soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's command, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, coupled with Lu Bu's bravery, under the urgency and desperateness, not to mention these miscellaneous soldiers who besieged the city and accepted the rebels, even if they are the elite of Qingzhou, they will suffer the same loss. ”

Hearing Bian Jean's name, the guards finally remembered the identity of the speaker. After many years, the only one who still wants to seek justice for Bian Rang is the only one who first attached Zhang Miao, then voted for Lu Bu, and finally came to Chen Gongtai, who was a mixed son under the command of the Qiu family.

Although this person's view is quite narrow, the last sentence is not wrong. Dealing with Lu Bu was originally a matter of delay rather than urgency, and if this tiger was forced to be in a hurry, even if he could take it, he would have to suffer heavy losses, wouldn't he?

Before the words fell, Cao ** suddenly moved, and as soon as he opened the tent door, he broke in directly.

"The words of the public station are still so sharp, but there is something unclear about Lonely......" I have to say that Cao **'s city is indeed deep enough, and he was exposed and despised by Chen Gong, he was not angry at all, but continued to discuss it directly.

"Since the public platform looks at the general trend of the world and the characters are like the patterns in the palm of the hand, how can we not know that our army seems to be safe and dangerous now, and we can't afford to delay the time? Wei continued to snake and mouse at both ends, the intention is unknown, our army has besieged the city, siege the city for more than eight days, but he has not moved, is it necessary to wait until Wang Yu's soldiers arrived, the Qingzhou army surrounded on all sides, he made a painful decision, abandon the darkness and turn to the light? ”

"Aren't you happy to have a guest from afar?" Cao ** suddenly appeared, but Chen Gong was not surprised, there was no embarrassment of being broken by saying bad things behind his back, but he smiled and invited him: "Meng De, you came just in time, today is the end of the war, I know that you are coming here, so I set up a table of thin wine, and invited two or three good friends to wait here, so I didn't live up to my good intentions." ”

As he spoke, he introduced the other people present, it turned out that the young man who spoke out earlier was the son of Yang Biao of the Fourth Taiwei Family, and the other two who were silent were the Peiguo famous brothers Ding Yi and Ding Xuan.

These people all came with hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and Cao ** brought them out, but he took a fancy to their family background and reputation, and it was the first time for them to meet each other.

Cao ** is a pragmatic person, if the overall situation is decided now, he is about to sweep Hebei and dominate the world, he may still have the heart to be perfunctory with these sons. But now he is worried about the military situation, how can he be in the mood to talk to a few idle people.

He frowned, a chill in his voice.

"In the past, it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, but now is definitely the time to help each other! Gongtai, don't forget, if Wang Yu wins the world, let alone Bian Wenli's deceased, I'm afraid that the world's wealthy families will be swept away! Do you want your children and grandchildren to study and practice martial arts with the grass people? What open auditions do you participate in? If you don't win the selection, at most, you can only be like Kong Wenju and You Zhengping, who are raised and offered as statues of gods, and have no real power in your hands? ”

This sentence seemed to hit the heart of Chen Gong, he was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, the uninhibited and indulgent meaning in his tone had faded a lot.

"I know what you mean, but the facts are here, and if you don't start from the inside, you can't quickly break through Lu Bu. In fact, when you were in Puyang, you were too anxious, if you didn't do it at that time, wouldn't it be now...... Okay, I know you're impatient to hear this, so I'll talk about something practical......"

Chen Gong paused for a moment, sold a pass, and observed Cao **'s expression, and then smiled and spit out the answer: "Actually, today's siege battle is not useless. Previously, General Wei was slow to move, not because he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Now that there are people in the city staring at him, he can't move an inch at all, not to mention that he doesn't move, even if he does, he will only die in vain. ”

"You mean ......"

"The helper he needs has been sent in while he is in chaos, and then he just needs to wait patiently." Chen Gong smiled leisurely, looking like a bamboo in his chest, "If you don't come out of this or two, there will be good news!" All you have to do is get ready to go into town! ”

"I see, thanks to the public station this time!" Cao ** was overjoyed, turned around and wanted to leave, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped, thought about it, turned around and said: "All the things before, it was not as good as what the public station said, but it was too lonely and eager." The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and there is still more to rely on in the future. ”

"Well said, well said!" Chen Gong seemed to wave his hand casually, but in fact, he was already full of ambition.

The grudge between him and Cao ** began with the death of Bian Rang and other friends on the surface, but in fact it was a battle of will. He relied on his old friendship and the credit of Fengying when Cao ** entered Dongjun, and he always felt that his status should be very high.

As a result, after Cao ** gained a firm foothold, celebrities from all over the world came to vote, and directly ranked this arrogant and hard-working Chen Gongtai outside the top ten, how could he endure this evil breath? Later, Cao ** listened to the advice of Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, and insisted on killing Bian Rang to clean up the local forces in Yanzhou.

This feud seems to be not small, but in fact, it is not difficult to resolve it, it is nothing more than Cao ** to be soft and apologize.

If it is in a hurry to be complacent, Cao ** may not be able to save this face, but now that it is in danger, Cao ** can't take care of it much.

In history, Chen Gong rebelled against the water and assisted Lu Bu to deal with Cao **, which almost brought disaster to Cao **. Now that he is familiar with Lu Bujun, he is helping Cao ** deal with Lu Bu, and naturally he is also recruiting blood, so Cao ** can't rely on it.

It was not only Cao ** who was shocked by Chen Gong's strategy, but Wei Xu was almost frightened.

"Gong Cao asked me to bring you a message, as long as you lead the troops anyway, you will immediately be the Marquis of Xiuwu in the current dynasty, and the commander of Fengche will ......"

Wei Xu didn't pay attention to what the other party was talking about, looking at the old man who appeared in front of him for no reason, his eyes turned black: "Old Hou, how did you get in?" Do you know how dangerous it is right now? What Wen Hou hates the most is you and Gongtai, once you are caught, the five horses are light, and you have to be cut with a thousand knives! ”

Hou Cheng smiled and replied nonchalantly: "It's not easy, just don't let him catch it." That tiger is now unable to protect itself, how can he think of dealing with us? As for how you got in, wouldn't it be simpler, just pretend to be dead, and then take advantage of the chaos to get in, how much more will it take? As he spoke, he pointed to his coat.

It has not been long since it entered the troubled times, and the forces of all parties are still the Han army, and the military uniforms, formations, and military music orders are all based on the configuration of the Han army, with slight changes.

A special one may only be the Qingzhou Army, the soldiers' uniforms are specially customized, and the main color is also red, the same as the Han Army, but the specific style is much worse.

Therefore, for people like Hou Cheng, who are very familiar with the officers and regulations in the army, it is just a piece of cake to fish in troubled waters. Especially in today's offensive and defensive battle, a dragon battle was also staged, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Hou Cheng almost swaggered into the city.

"It's useless for you to come in!" Wei Xu didn't care about tangling with these specific processes, sighed, and said: "The conditions promised by General Cao are good enough, but it's not that I don't want to do it anyway, I really don't have a chance!" You don't know, others are okay, it's that Wei Yan is the most deadly, except when he is fighting, he almost comes to my side when he has nothing to do! ”

"You've probably heard of that man's reputation, it's a guy who picks on the bones! If he was alone, there might be a way to deal with it, but there were dozens of guards around him who were from the Hidden Mist Army, and they were especially good at spying on them...... You're lucky enough to get in, that guy is a little injured, and he can't take care of this side for a while, and wait for him to recover...... Alas, in short, you came to the wrong place this time! ”

Wei Xu babbled and complained, but Hou Chengcheng listened so quietly until he couldn't say anything new, then he patted the other party on the shoulder and said seriously: "Brother, I know all the hardships you said...... How do I know? Don't forget, Gongtai is also a figure who can be called the world's top wise! What's not to guess about this? ”

Wei Xu was stunned for a moment, and stammered: "Lian...... Can you even expect this? Is Gongtai going to become a god? ”

"The immortals can't say it yet, and the half-immortals are so-so." Hou Chengda grinned and said: "Wang Yu advocated killing you at the beginning, Lu Bupifu was a ruthless person, if it weren't for the face of his wife, your bones would have been cold." Then Wei Yan is Wang Yu's loyal dog, are you just in the army to help in the war? ”

He swaggered on the throne and sneered: "I'll tell you the truth, even if you don't fight back this time, when Wang Yu is completely powerful, there will be no good fruit for you to eat." The king thief is not very old, and his heart is small, do you count the people who have made enemies with him over the years, how many of them can get a good death? ”

Wei Xu thought about it, and he was also cold. Wei Yan came to help, and he really had the intention of keeping an eye on himself, but now that he is being stared at so closely, will there be any good fruits to eat in the future?

However, he still did not rush to give a clear answer, because today's battle is a little strange no matter how you look at it. Cao ** besieged the city for nearly ten days, and attacked it a few times at the beginning, but he never went all out, probably because he was still worried about casualties. But today he suddenly threw out all his blood, who doesn't know that Dian Wei is the number one fierce general of the Cao army, and he brought all the dead guards of Cao **?

Since the first rebellion, Wei Xu's past bravery has been gone, and now he is bent on the glory and wealth in the future, even if he can't get it, he just wants to keep his surname.

Cao ** suddenly became anxious, could it be that the battle situation has changed again? If Wang Yu finally gains power, then where to go now, you have to think carefully.

Hou Cheng and Wei Xu are also old friends, and with Chen Gong's reminder in advance, by observing each other's expressions, they can guess his heart.

"Brother Wei, I know what you're thinking. You may think that Cao Gong is no longer good, but don't say anything else, you should always know a little bit about the overall situation now, right? Even if Cao Gong couldn't take Lu Bu and retreated gloomily, it was always right to contain the two main forces in Qingzhou, right? Well, and the trolls. ”

"Sun has 30,000 tigers under his command, many veterans who are good at water warfare, and General Miaocai also has 20,000 elite soldiers, what is there in Qingzhou? Chen Dao, Wang Mo, and the unweaned doll of the Lu family, these scraps command more than 30,000 militiamen? Can you stop it? Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong still have some combatable soldiers in their hands, but less than 20,000 people can survive to death, isn't this strength and weakness clear enough? ”

"There is no need to hide some things from you, that's right, Wang Yu has already come, and with his beacon spirit horse, he has already tackled the key problems in Baichengkou. But don't tremble too early, Cao Gong is like a god, and he has already laid two elites there, how easy is it to break through? ”

"Even if there's a whatever, it's nothing. Gongtai has long seen that the Qingzhou Army was not fooled before, it was not that they stabilized their position, but the generals couldn't trust Jia Wenhe, and they all supported their troops and fought for themselves. That Yu Ban is a lump of wood, he doesn't know how to be flexible at all, and he was tricked by Cao Gong, so he let the eldest prince take tens of thousands of old and weak to contain it. Na Jia Wenhe was even more like a headless fly, bumping into the east and west, but no one paid attention to him. ”

"Even if Wang Yu really arrived with a horse, it would be 10,000 horsemen against 80,000 troops, even if the wind and fire cavalry was all covered in iron, could they go against the sky? Maybe who's going to save whom. ”

"In short, Brother Wei, we brothers, what we can say and can't say, I will tell you everything, you think about what to do. If you plan to be loyal to the end, brother, I'm here, you just have to tie it up and make contributions, otherwise, you have to do it as soon as possible! It's been a long time, and you're not a human on either side! ”

Wei Xu's face turned red and white, changing endlessly. He is not a very decisive person, in the past, he was only Hou Cheng's horse, but now that Leng Ding meets the deceased again, his mind will come alive.

After hesitating for a while, his wandering gaze finally fell back to Hou Cheng, and asked in a deep voice, "But how are you going to pass Wei Yan's level?" That guy wasn't an easy one to deal with. ”

"It's simple, you don't need to deal with him at all."

As soon as he heard this, Hou Cheng knew that it was done, and he smiled and said, "Don't forget, he's staring at you, not me, isn't it just right to give him a blow?" I am also familiar with the powerful people under you, and it is effortless to command, plus I am still a little old in the army, isn't this easy to handle? I've got a plan here, and you can come here......"

The blood of loyalty has not yet cooled, and the flower of conspiracy has bloomed, like an invisible black hand, strangled towards this city that has always stood tall under the storm. (To be continued.) )
