****************

The wind is bleak, and the earth is reckless.

Pieces of snowflakes slowly fell from the air and landed on Cao Cao's dark cheeks, bringing a chilling chill.

"It's going to be winter"

Cao Cao looked up at the snow slowly falling in the sky, and sighed to himself.

Guo Jia, who was standing beside him, kept trembling, wrapped around his clothes, and his teeth chattered passively.

"Ming Gong, it's cold outside, let's go back to the big tent, why stand here and suffer a living crime?"

Cao Cao shook his head lightly and said: "Lone is very chaotic now, I don't want to go in, standing here, my mood is still a little more comfortable, if you can't stand the cold, go back to the tent to rest first." ”

"Then Guo went in first and waited for Ming Gong's order."

Guo Jia was unceremoniously, turned around and jumped into the tent.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and then his face turned pale, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Be polite, take it seriously, you prodigal son, stand alone!" ”

Guo Jia turned his head with a sad face, looked at Cao Cao with a bitter look on his face, and said, "Ming Gong, I'm cold"

When Cao Cao saw him like that, he couldn't help but laugh angrily, and nodded at Guo Jia and said: "You prodigal son, you are addicted to wine-colored Yingyan all day long, but you have made your body bones so bad, you deserve to be frozen, and today will make you remember it for a long time." ”

Guo Jia snorted, laughed embarrassedly "hehe" twice, and said, "What Ming Gong taught is that Guo has been taught, so how can you let me go in to rest?" ”

Cao Cao touched the beard on his chin and said with a light smile: "It's easy to say, if you can relieve the sorrow in your heart for Lonely, you will naturally let you go in to keep warm." ”

"Hey, that's easy."

Guo Jia's complexion quietly changed, and the prodigal smile on Shicai's face unconsciously became extremely clean, and his whole face was full of wisdom, and he said in a low voice: "What Ming Gong is worried about is just that Liu Bei occupies the two counties of Runan and Yingchuan, and his strength has risen sharply, almost half of Yuzhou, and I am afraid that it will be a disaster." ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth rose slightly: "Those who know me, Fengxiao is not bad, today, although it is a group of heroes, and those who can come out, but the only one who can enter the eyes of loneliness is Liu Bei." This man has a firm mind and extraordinary perseverance, but because of bad luck, he has been wandering and wandering, and if he sits back and watch his strength expand and his wings are full, he will be a confidant in the future! ”

Guo Jia nodded when he heard this, and agreed with Cao Cao's opinion: "Liu Bei is indeed a good person, but among the heroes in the world, he is considered an outlier. ”

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Guo Jia and said, "What does Feng Xiao mean by this?" ”

"Although Liu Bei got the land of two counties, after all, he was a new army and horses, and the people were not convinced, and although his subordinates were brave, it was a pity that there were no resourceful people to make good use of it. This time he defeated Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, although his morale rose, but his arrogance was even worse, such as Ming Gong personally led the troops to the south, hehe, Guo asserted that a battle can be determined! ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said: "Feng Xiao's words, Gu also knows, what I am afraid of is that the northern Xinjiang is undecided, if I go south easily, Yuan Benchu's thief will not die, and he will raise troops to attack, but what should I do?" ”

Guo Jia's white clothes flicked off, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Ming Gong rest assured, Guo asked Ming Gong to wave his army south, it is expected that Yuan Shao will definitely not raise troops!" ”

"Why? Yuan Shao has a lot of merit, and although Guandu was defeated, he may not have the heart to fight back. ”

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said: "Yuan Shao is full of heart, arrogant, Guandu lost, his revenge is naturally certain, but he will never choose to send troops immediately, one is because Yuan Shao uses troops to behave, he doesn't like to use strange, now the weather is about to enter winter, even if Yuan Shao wants to take revenge, he is afraid of delaying the harvest in the coming year, the battle of Wuchao has greatly damaged Jizhou's grain reserves, with Yuan Shao's heart, he will never make a second use of troops, even if he wants to take revenge, at least after three months of agricultural rectification!" At that time, the Duke of Ming had already defeated Liu Bei with the momentum of thunder, and he would return to Xudu with the victorious army, which would not be wrong. ”…,

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and said, "This is reasonable. ”

Second, Yuan Shao's military methods are correct, believing in suppressing people with power and not going sideways. If Yuan Shao wants to take revenge, he must be afraid that the morale of the generals will be low and he will have to practice, so it will take some time. ”

Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "Is there anything else? ”

Guo Jia was not in a hurry, and continued: "Third, among the strategists under Yuan Shao's command, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Trial and others have their own gaps on weekdays, and they do not obey each other, and now that Guandu is defeated, after returning to Yecheng, Guo expects that some of them will inevitably take advantage of this defeat to cause a big incident, suppress and instigate back and forth, and blame each other in open and secret battles, these people are all important towns that Yuan Shao trusts on weekdays, with Yuan Shao's nature, I want to smooth them out, hehe, I'm afraid it will take a while, Ming Gong, with these three things as a guarantee, Isn't the few months vacated enough for the Ming Duke to levy Liu Bei? ”

Cao Cao pondered for a while, and a smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth, and then it overflowed into a bold smile.

"Ha Lu haha, yes, Feng Xiao is really Lone's think tank, Yuan Shao and his subordinates, but they are really seen by your kid as thoroughly, God bless Lone to be this good talent and good friend, just do it according to Feng Xiao's intentions, but in order to avoid omissions, Lone still decided to place the Shuai Qi in the important town of Baimadu, thinking that it was a false and real plan to deter the Yuan army in Hebei, so that it could be foolproof."

Guo Jia flicked the snow on his sleeves, bowed his hands and said: "The lord's move is very good, this time to pacify the battle of Liu Bei, Guo will definitely carefully design to help Ming Gong recover the land of the two counties, capture Liu Bei alive, and go to a big trouble for Ming Gong." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand when he heard this, and said: "That's not necessary, for Liu Bei, Lone really wants to fight directly with him, and he doesn't need the help of others to plan Fengxiao. ”

"Huh?"

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this, and his serious face suddenly became prodigal again: "Ming Gong won't let me go, so what should Guo do?" You don't really want me to be idle, do you? ”

Cao Cao touched his beard: "Guangling Taishou Chen Deng wrote a letter to Gu the day before yesterday, saying that the land of Xuzhou, since this year, the martial arts are not strong, morale is slack, and it is difficult to raise soldiers, and there is a tendency to retreat along the river, you are not in good health recently, so don't go with the army to fight, you might as well go to Xuzhou for Gu to go around, and by the way, point out the Taishou of each county, and teach them how to train soldiers and horses, so as to be called in the future." ”

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was looking at his poor body and bones, and didn't want him to be overworked, so he took advantage of his son to take a small vacation.

While his heart was moved, Guo Jia shook his head stubbornly: "Ming Gong, Guo is a military priest sacrificial wine, the army goes out to fight with the army, there is a reason not to go to war with the army, inspect the affairs of Xuzhou, and hope that Ming Gong will send someone else to take care of it, Guo is not that material." ”

"Presumptuous, the lonely general, you prodigal son dare not obey? Hugh says all that nonsense, tomorrow you will pack up your things and set off, and I will send elite soldiers to protect you. ”

Guo Jia still wants to fight again: "But"

"Okay, Hugh has to say more, that's it!"

************************

A few days later, Yuan Shang and his group finally stepped out of the boundary of Yuzhou, along the tributaries of Surabaya, and came to the vicinity of Lucheng in Xuzhou.

Lucheng is not tall, but compared with the city of Yuzhou, it is obvious that there is a different atmosphere, looking at it from afar, the soil of the city wall is soft, short and low, although there is no solid and majestic atmosphere, but there is more quiet and serene tranquility.

Looking at those gray and half-pale city walls, Yuan Shang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

According to Zhang Jaw's description, when he arrived near Lucheng, it proved that Qingzhou was not far away, Cao Cao was now concentrating his forces to prepare to go south to conquer Liu Bei, and he had no time to take care of them, the local garrison was not strong, and he didn't dare to do anything to them, and he could finally go home. …,

Since the fight crossed over to the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shang's experience has been smooth and smooth, but in fact, it can be described as a difficult step, and a little carelessness will lead to a catastrophe.

But no matter what, from Guandu to Wuchao, from Yanzhou to Runan, Yuan Shang felt that he had learned a lot and learned a lot.

A few miles outside the west gate of Lucheng.

Yuan Shang ordered his subordinates to camp and rest in the hidden woods, after all, they had been running for a few days, and everyone was in a hurry, and it was inevitable that they would be tired.

It's easy to say that a tough guy in the army like Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran is good, but people like Deng Chang's family of three and Xiahou Juan who are not good at military travel are obviously a little unbearable.

Therefore, proper rest is still necessary

Xiahou Juan has followed the army north in the past few days, not only did he not panic, but he also had a somewhat casual attitude.

It's just that in the entire army, except for Yuan Shang and Deng Lao'er, no one can play with her, and Yuan Shang has to command the whole army from time to time, and Deng Lao'er has to take care of his wife and children at all times, and he can't accompany her to have fun, so Xiahou Juan feels a little empty and bored from time to time.

Slowly, she shifted her gaze to Lu Lingqi.

In the entire team, except for Deng Chang's wife, only Lu Lingqi is a woman like her, and she is of the same age.

So naturally, Xiahou Juan had a desire to get close to her. But Lu Lingqi's personality is too cold, and Xiahou Juan has never found any opportunities.

It wasn't until today, when the whole army camped and rested, that Xiahou Juan saw a little opportunity

Holding the skin bag and pouring some water into the stream, Xiahou Juan cautiously came to Lu Lingqi, who was sharpening wooden strips with a knife, gently handed the water bag over, and called softly: "Aba"

Lu Lingqi's cold gaze lifted slightly, and fell on Xiahou Juan's face, which immediately frightened her and wanted to retreat timidly.

But the hesitation was only for a moment, and Xiahou Juan finally smiled lightly, sent his hand over again, and said, "Abba Aba." ”

Lu Lingqi frowned and looked at Xiahou Juan puzzled: "What do you mean?" I don't understand."

Not far away, Yuan Shangzheng was wiping his armor with an old strip of cloth, looked up when he heard the sound, and then smiled: "Can't understand such a simple thing?" They want to ask you for water. ”

Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand to take the leather bag in Xiahou Juan's hand, and said lightly: "Thank you." ”

Xiahou Juan's face instantly showed a lovely smile, which was brilliant and pitying.

Yuan Shang shook his head helplessly while wiping his armor: "What a fool, can't you see that people are showing favor to you because they want to make friends with you." Just saying thank you is over, there is no sincerity at all. ”

Xiahou Juan's face was slightly red.

Lu Lingqi wiped her mouth, her face was indifferent: "I don't know how to make friends, and I've never had friends, let alone friends." ”

Yuan Shang sneered when he heard this, shook his head and said, "You don't even have a friend, you are really pale in the past twenty-eight years." ”

"It's just you." Lu Lingqi snorted and glanced at Yuan Shang dissatisfied.

However, Xiahou Juan was innocent and romantic, drew a circle in mid-air with both hands, and then pretended to prune to his mouth, pointed Lu Lingqi with his fingers, and then nodded himself, and then slapped his palms happily and said with a smile.

"Aba, Aba, Ababa."

Lu Lingqi was stunned, turned her head and asked Yuan Shangdao: "What does she mean, can you understand?" ”

Yuan Shang held his chin, shook the dirty cloth in his hand listlessly, and said: "She said that the feelings are deep, a mouthful of stuffiness, shallow feelings, lick it, the feelings are thick, not enough to drink, the feelings are iron, drink blood, thousands of mountains and rivers are always love, gathering and scattering are also destined, it doesn't matter if you don't make friends, you will drink a jar of damn it!" ”

Xiahou Juan smiled and nodded again and again, and gave Yuan Shang a thumbs up.
