The back garden of the Handan official mansion, in the attic where Liu Wei lives.

A brazier was placed in the middle of the house, and the brazier burned with a crimson flame, and the flames jumped, spreading endless heat into the house, and the warmth of the house was melted, and the ice and snow outside the house became two very different worlds.

Standing at the window with his hands behind his back, Liu Wei looked out the window and was speechless for a long time.

The snow was still falling, and the gray sky seemed to be full of snowflakes.

The back garden of the official mansion has long been covered in silver, and the thick snow on the ground is like a heavy snow-white mattress, spread flat on the ground, and the sky is vast, and everywhere you can see, in addition to white or white.

The withered trees, also covered with snow, one of the sycamores near the attic, the leaves have all fallen, and the branches that are supported here and there are snow-white snowflakes, making it look like a silver tree made of sterling silver, tall with a bit of unusual enchantment.

Behind Liu Wei, Guan Qing stood with his hands down, glancing at him with worried eyes from time to time, but then he lowered his head again and looked at the ground under his feet.

At the door of the room, Deng Zhan clenched his fists and bowed down, facing Liu Wei. I don't know if it was because he was too nervous or because the temperature in the room was too high, but beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from his forehead, and his expression was unconcealable with nervousness.

"Seven hundred tiger guards, all of them are brave men!" Holding his hands and looking out of the window, Liu Wei didn't even look back, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "But in front of the trapped camp, it is so vulnerable......

Maintaining the posture of clenching his hands into fists, Deng Zhan bowed, and the cold sweat on his forehead had fallen down his cheeks to his neck.

Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Bian, raised his head, glanced at Deng Zhan, then turned his head to look at Liu Bian's back, licked his lips, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say a word at the end.

"General Deng, do you know where the Tiger Benwei was defeated this time?" Deng Zhan didn't speak, and Liu Wei was silent for a moment before he continued: "Is it that the skills of the Tiger Benwei soldiers are not as good as those trapped in the camp?" Or did the soldiers of the Tiger Benwei not take this drill to heart at all, and deliberately gave the trapped camp a chance to show off their might in front of the generals? ”

Standing at the door, Deng Zhan didn't even dare to wipe the beads of sweat on his face, and after a while, he muttered and said, "The last general thinks that it is neither!" ”

"Oh?" Before Deng Zhan's words fell, Liu Wei turned around, with an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked Deng Zhan: "Since it is not, then why does General Deng think that Hu Benwei is so vulnerable?" ”

Thinking of the drill of Tiger Benwei and the camp trapped outside the city, Deng Zhan felt a burst of shame. At first, the Tiger Benwei officer and the trapping camp officer fought alone, and the two sides were evenly matched, which also made Deng Zhan somewhat confident in the subsequent drills.

But as soon as the duel between the two sides began, Deng Zhan found that there was a world of difference between Hu Benwei and the trapped camp in the combat coordination.

The main force of the Luoyang Army, compared with today's heroic armies, is absolutely strong. After all, the trapped camp is a carefully selected elite under Lu Bu, after all, it is not an ordinary Luoyang army that can match. Hu Benwei, who had just been drawn from the main force of the Luoyang Army and had not yet formed a coordinated combat force, would not be their opponent.

For these, Deng Zhan is clear in his heart, but at the moment, he doesn't dare to say it to Liu Wei. Defeated, already defeated, looking for excuses to cover up failure, but just smearing more black on your own face.

"Tiger Benwei...... Collaboration doesn't work! Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, Deng Zhan hesitated for a long time before he said such a sentence.

Hearing Deng Zhan's words, Liu Wei nodded slowly, the expression on his face changed from gloomy to satisfied, and said to Deng Zhan: "Hu Benwei Xinjian, the reason why this king wants General Deng to train them personally is to make them forget their previous combat methods and form their combat style, so that they can attack the city in case they encounter a strong enemy in the future." ”

"The end is clear!" Although he didn't dare to look up at Liu Wei, he heard a little ease from his tone, and Deng Zhan hurriedly bowed down and responded.

"General Deng, go get busy!" Deng Zhan already knew where the defeat was, and Liu Wei didn't want to blame him more, so he waved his hand at him and gave him an order.

"The last will retire!" Standing in the house, Deng Zhan, who felt uncomfortable all over, got this sentence, as if he had received amnesty, hurriedly said goodbye and left the room.

Out of Liu Wei's residence, Deng Zhan just stood on the corridor on the second floor of the attic, he let out a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

When Deng Zhan left, Guan Qing, who was standing behind Liu Bian, said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, today's battle between the Tiger Benwei and the trapped camp is not unfierce, although the soldiers lost, it was not a fiasco. If the two thousand tiger guards rush up, I am afraid that the camp will not be able to parry......"

"What this king cares about is not victory or defeat!" Turning around, walking back to the window, looking at the goose feathers and snow flying outside the window and the eyes full of silver, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing: "What this king cares about is the lives of the soldiers. The trapped camp is not the strongest army in the world, and those who are stronger than it are very much stronger. If the Tiger Benwei can't defeat the camp with 300 people, what they will pay on the battlefield in the future is the price of blood! ”

Listening to Liu Wei's words, Guan Qing was silent. When she and Guan Hai were in the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army's tactics were to restrain the few with more people. I never counted how many people died, I only cared if the city was captured.

And with Liu Bian, so far, Liu Bian has never launched a strong attack on any city. The strategy adopted was either to cause trouble and profit from the enemy's intentions, or to take advantage of the situation and take the city in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this that although the soldiers of the Luoyang Army have experienced countless battles, they have never suffered too serious casualties.

The whole Jizhou is snowing heavily, but in Yanzhou, which is not far from Jizhou, the sky is just a haze, and not even a single snowflake has fallen.

Riding on horseback, Cao Cao led a group of generals to gallop across a field outside Puyang City.

In the grass-filled wilderness ahead, a hungry fawn came out to hunt for food, startled by the sound of horses' hooves, and jumped out of the grass.

Seeing the fawn jumping up, Cao Cao hurriedly took out his bow and arrows, put the arrows on the bowstring, and shot feathered arrows at the fawn.

The feather arrow "swished" and flew towards the fawn, but due to the strong wind in the wilderness, the flying feather arrow was blown off by the wind, and happened to pass a little over the tail of the fawn.

was almost shot by Cao Cao's arrow, and the fawn was frightened, spread its four hooves, and jumped into the distance.

At the moment when the fawn had just jumped up and was about to flee into the distance, General Yanzhou, a member of Cao Cao's horseback riding his horse, put the arrow on the bowstring and shot a feathered arrow at the deer that was jumping and fleeing.

With a soft sound of the bowstring, the feathered arrow stabbed like a bolt of lightning towards the deer that was jumping and trying to escape. Including Cao Cao, almost everyone could see the trajectory of the feather arrow flying out, and the little deer fell to the ground with four hooves.

"Good ride!" Seeing that the fawn was shot to the ground, Cao Cao shouted and praised it, and rode his horse quickly to the place where the fawn fell.

When they arrived at the place where the fawn was shot, a soldier of the Yanzhou army who followed Cao Cao and the generals turned over and jumped off the war horse, ran to the body of the fawn, lifted the deer, which had lost its breath, and shouted to Cao Cao: "An arrow pierces the throat!" ”

"Yuan Rang really makes a good bow!" After the soldier shouted, Cao Cao turned his head and praised the general who had shot the arrow.

An arrow pierced the throat of the fawn, and it was a burly officer with a pair of eyes that were shining, giving people a sense of not only courage but also a sense of strategy.

This person's surname is Xiahou, and his single name is a single name. When Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled back to Chen to recruit troops against Dong, he had already followed Cao Cao.

Hearing Cao Cao's praise of him, Xiahoudun hurriedly clasped his fists on horseback and bowed down, and said to Cao Cao: "The reason why the last general shot this deer with an arrow was because Ming Gong had shocked it before, and it was out of proportion, so that the last general could be shot." This deer is calculated, it should be shot by Ming Gong! ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" As soon as Xiahoudun's words fell, Cao Cao raised his face and laughed twice, and said to him: "Yuan Rang thinks that he regards a certain person who loves to listen to flattery, so he pushes the gong, isn't he despising Yu?" ”

was covered by Cao Cao with a big hat that despised him, how did Xiahoudun suffer from his sin? He hurriedly turned over and jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Cao Cao's horse, knelt on the ground, and said to Cao Cao with his fists: "The last general has no mouth to hide, and he really deserves death!" ”

"Get up!" Riding on horseback, he raised his hand towards Xiahou Xuan, Cao Cao turned his head and said to the generals and strategists who followed him: "You wait to hunt with a certain winter, but whenever you see prey, just go and get it!" I will never rob you of the credit! ”

"No!" The people who followed Cao Cao heard him say this, and hurriedly responded with their fists hugged.

The generals couldn't wait to show themselves in front of Cao Cao, and they scattered in search of prey, and only a few Wenchen remained by Cao Cao's side.

When the generals dispersed, Cao Cao looked up at the gray sky and said as if to himself: "The clouds are so thick, I think it's going to snow!" ”

"Ming Gong!" Before Cao Cao's words fell, Xi Zhicai, who was following him, stepped forward and said to him: "In the Jizhou area, it has been snowing heavily for several days. A few days ago, the scout reported, Guan Yu led the army to break through Dongpingshu, and the general Zou Dan under the command of Gongsun Chan abandoned the city and lost, and now Gongsun Chan has become the target of everyone, and wants to come to the spring, but in the summer, Jizhou will ......"

"Ahem!" Before he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai covered his mouth with one hand and coughed violently for a while, and his face turned purple and swollen when he coughed.

"Right now, the wind is cold, Zhicai really shouldn't come with a certain today!" Seeing that Xi Zhicai was coughing badly, Cao Cao said to him with great concern: "Today's hunting is over, I will return to Puyang, and Zhicai will be raised for some time." ”

"Might as well!" After coughing for a while, Xi Zhicai wiped his lips with the palm of his hand, and said to Cao Cao with red cheeks: "Li Dao and Guo Yan have been fighting in Chang'an City recently, because they are not satisfied with each other. Although the two sides have not yet met each other, the war is also on the verge of breaking out. In the spring of the next year, the two will definitely attack each other, and at that time, the king of Luoyang and Yuan Shao's army are fighting with Gongsun Zhan, and Ming Justice can raise troops to fight against Li Dao and Guo Yan......"
