In the field on the south side of Cao's camp, three men dressed in the people's dark clothes were hunting pheasants and hares with bows and arrows.

In just over an hour, the three men hunted six or seven hares, and two pheasants.

In the Cao Jun barracks, an officer looked at the three men in the distance, his brows were always tightly wrinkled.

He has been watching since the three men came to the outside of the barracks.

If the three men were civilians hunting nearby, they didn't behave very similarly.

When the men shoot arrows, they are skillful, and the skills of archery alone are even more proficient than the full-time archers on the battlefield.

Moreover, while the three men were hunting, they also glanced at the barracks from time to time, which made the officer of the Cao army feel that he had no bottom in his heart.

"Tell the general, and it seems that there are spies outside the barracks!" Looking at the three men who were not very far from the barracks, the officer finally turned his head and gave an order to a soldier behind him.

At the officer's command, the soldier hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed in response, and turned to the general.

Not long after the soldiers left, a general of the Cao army rushed over.

When he arrived at the Yamen, he ignored the officers who had been observing the three men outside, and looked out at them, and said to the soldiers who followed behind: "Go and capture those three people, so that they can be tortured and questioned, who sent the horses!" ”

The soldiers answered, leading dozens of soldiers to rush out of the barracks.

The little general who came here was none other than Cao Xiu, who was almost killed by Lu Bu on the battlefield earlier.

On the battlefield, he is not Lu Bu's general! In the past few days, I was depressed, and suddenly I heard that there were several spies outside the barracks, and my heart was just right to use these spies to relieve my boredom, so I didn't even delay for a moment and came to the tooth gate.

Just glanced out at the tooth gate, and saw that there were three men in deep clothes hunting not far from the outside of the barracks, Cao Xiu almost didn't think about it, so he ordered the soldiers to capture those men.

Dozens of Cao soldiers poured out of the barracks, and the three hunting men saw that Cao Jun rushed out of the barracks, and had no intention of escaping at all, but honestly followed the Cao soldiers who surrounded them to Cao Xiu.

The pro-soldiers who led a team of Cao soldiers to escort the three men into the barracks arrived in front of Cao Xiu, hugged their fists and bowed to Cao Xiu and said, "General Qiyu, the spies have arrived!" ”

first waved his hand at the soldier, and then Cao Xiu put his hands behind his back, circled around the three men, and asked the servants: "Say!" Are you waiting for the spies sent by Lu Bu to spy on our army? ”

As soon as Cao Xiu's words fell, among the servants, the leading man grinned and asked him: "The general's words are quite funny, the city of Xuzhou is surrounded like an iron bucket, who has the ability to sneak out of the city to spy on the military?" ”

was asked by the man, Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at the man from head to toe, and said coldly: "Ordinary people don't know this, where are you waiting for the spies?" ”

"We didn't say it was the people!" What surprised Cao Xiu was that the man not only did not find a reason to shirk, but instead vetoed the identity of the people.

"So, that's a spy?" The man denied that he was an ordinary person, Cao Xiu showed a touch of pride on his face, turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "Someone!" Escort them down, and later General Ben will interrogate them himself! ”

"Wait!" The soldiers of Cao Jun on the side were about to step forward to escort the three men away, and the leading man said loudly: "We are not ordinary people, and we are definitely not spies!" If the general does this, he is not afraid that Cao Gong will blame him? ”

"Who are you?" When the man mentioned Cao Cao, Cao Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he looked at him again and asked, "Interrogating you and others, why does Cao Gong blame General Ben?" ”

"Look, General!" A faint smile appeared at the corner of the man's mouth, he reached out and took out an ink-colored sign from his arms, flashed it to Cao Xiu and said: "We are the tiger guards under the command of King Qin, and the army is short of food and grass, so I came to hunt in the wild on the order of General Zhao." The general was afraid that we would cause misunderstanding among your brothers by wearing clothes and armor, so he ordered us to change into people's clothes, and I didn't want to be captured by the general! ”

Hearing that the man said that it was the Tiger Benwei under the command of King Qin, Cao Xiu also had some entanglements in his heart for a while.

If these three men are released, the outside of Cao Ying will become a hunting place for Hu Benwei in the future, so that some scenes in the military camp will be seen through by Hu Benwei.

But if they are imprisoned, I am afraid that the Qin army lord will refuse to rest, and it will be even more troublesome to quarrel at that time!

As he was struggling, the officer who had found the three men hunting outside the barracks came up and whispered to Cao Xiu: "General, these three people can't be released!" ”

"Why?" The officer's voice was very low when he spoke, and Cao Xiu also asked him in a low voice.

"These people are hunting outside our army camp in the clothes of ordinary people, and no one can tell what their intentions are!" Leaning into Cao Xiu's ear, the officer whispered to Cao Xiu: "But they are soldiers under the command of King Qin, I am afraid that it is impossible to torture them, but they cannot be easily released!" At least put them in custody first, and wait until the main general of the Qin army comes to ask for someone and sell his favor! ”

Turning his head to look at the officer who was speaking, Cao Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and after pondering for a while, he still didn't dare to make an assertion, so he said to a personal soldier behind him: "You report this matter to Cao Gong, and see what Cao Gong says!" ”

The soldiers answered and ran away quickly.

Looking at the departing soldiers, until his back disappeared into the barracks, Cao Xiu said to the three men: "You wait and wait here, wait until Cao Gong falls, and then do the district!" ”

Cao Xiu sent someone to ask Cao Cao what to do, and although the three men didn't say anything, they sat on the ground very casually as if they were in their own military camp, fiddling with the hares and pheasants they had hunted.

However, in the small half of the tea, Cao Cao in the handsome tent received a report from Cao Xiu's own soldiers, saying that he had captured three tiger guards under the command of King Qin.

Knowing that there were tiger guards hunting outside the barracks, Cao Cao first smiled, then turned his head to look at Guo Jia, who happened to be in the tent, and asked Guo Jia: "What does Feng Xiao think of this matter?" ”

"Ming Gong has already seen the clues, why do you need to ask again?" As soon as Cao Cao asked, Guo Jia smiled and said to him: "In this way, the King of Qin sent this force to Xuzhou, and the intention is clear!" Our army will be able to fight a decisive battle with Lu Bu in Xuzhou City in a few days! ”

"Hmm!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "If Zhao Yun is just lining up behind our army, a certain person is still quite jealous of them, after all, the Qin army is strong, if he offends the King of Qin too early, it will be a rare benefit!" Now Zhao Yun can't wait to send people, in the name of hunting, intending to have soldiers and our army stir up. Zhao Yun led three thousand tiger guards to come, in order to control our army, so that our army was worried and did not dare to easily move troops to Xuzhou! ”

"Ming Gong is not bad!" Looking at each other with Cao Cao, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao with a smile: "It's just that you can't really turn against the Qin army right now, then Zhao Yun let the soldiers make trouble, and we won't give him a chance!" Duke Ming can send an order to immediately prepare a big car to send the hares and pheasants hunted by the soldiers of the Qin army back to the Zhao Yun military camp, even if he wants to cause trouble, he can't find the reason! ”

"Then follow the words of filial piety!" first nodded and agreed to Guo Jia's proposal, and then Cao Cao turned his head and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, prepare a big car!" Load the three prey hunted by the Qin army into the car and escort them all the way to the Qin army camp! ”

When Cao Cao ordered a car to escort the three tiger guards who had been brought to Cao's camp back to the barracks, Zhao Yunzheng was leading a group of people along the path in the direction of Cao's camp.

Originally, Zhao Yun planned to rescue the three tiger guards one day after they were captured, but after thinking about it, if Cao Cao saw the clues, things would be difficult to do, so he estimated that the servants had been captured, so he led a team of people to Cao Ying to dignitaries.

Just halfway through, it was still far from Cao Jun's camp, but Zhao Yun found a team of people in front of him.

Facing him was a group of Cao Jun, and Cao Jun's team also had an open-top carriage, and on top of the carriage stood the three soldiers who had been sent to hunt outside the Cao army's camp.

Seeing the three soldiers standing on the carriage, escorted by a team of Cao Jun, Zhao Yun was stunned, reined in his horse and looked at the Cao Jun who was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the Cao army had arrived at a place that was only more than twenty steps away from Zhao Yun, they rushed out of a fast horse from behind the Cao army.

On horseback was a blind general of the Cao army.

Riding his horse in front of Zhao Yun, the blind general of the Cao army arched his fists to Zhao Yun and said, "The last general, Xiahou Dun, has seen General Zhao!" ”

I had also heard of Xiahoudun's name, and when he learned that he was coming, Zhao Yun cupped his fists and saluted him back and said, "General Xiahou is not in the Cao Gong military camp, why did he come here?" ”

"Three soldiers under the command of General Zhao are hunting near our army's camp, Cao Gong learned that the general must be short of food at the moment, he was the master of the heart, but our army's food and grass are also quite insufficient, so he had to send a big cart loaded with prey, and the last general escorted him to the general's barracks!" Asked by Zhao Yun where he was going, Xiahoudun first replied, and then asked Zhao Yun rhetorically: "I don't know where the general is going?" ”

"Oh!" Xiahoudun said that Cao Cao sent him to personally escort the three soldiers back to the barracks, Zhao Yun knew that he couldn't cause trouble, although he was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face, but said to Xiahoudun: "There is really no food in the army, and the last general will send three or four hundred soldiers to hunt along the way, and at this time I want to see how they harvest!" ”

"It's great to think about!" Zhao Yun said that he was going to see the results of the hunt, and Xiahoudun grinned at him and said: "Gong Cao ordered the last general to escort all the way to the general's barracks, but I don't want to meet the general halfway, so the last general will return to his life first!" ”
