Time pulls back to a day ago.

Cao Cao was pacing in the mansion, still holding a kind of apprehension and worry, he was not afraid that things would fail. is really worried about Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, others can say that he can accept any loss, but only Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan can not have problems.

No one!

Candle Shadow hurriedly ran in, and before he could reach Cao Cao's face, he immediately shouted out, "Meng De, Yuan Rang and Miaocai are back!" ”

Cao Cao immediately stopped, looked at Candle Shadow fiercely, took a few steps, came to Candle Shadow, and pressed his palm on Candle Shadow's shoulder.

"What about people? How are people? Cao Cao asked anxiously, and there was unspeakable worry in his voice.

He obviously felt that something was wrong, if Xiahou Yuan Xiahoudun had nothing to do, he would definitely have come to him at this time, how could he let Candle Shadow tell him the news?

"It's fine." Candle Shadow shook his head, knowing Cao Cao's concern, he quickly explained: "Miaocai and Yuan Rang both have a lot of wounds on their bodies, Yuan Rang is more serious, I have already called a doctor from the city to treat their injuries." ”

"That's fine, that's fine." Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his heart.

It's okay if the injury doesn't threaten his life, he still trusts the candle shadow, after all, he is not a person who reports good news and bad news. However, Cao Cao still decided to take a look for himself, so that he could completely put his mind at ease.

"Candle Shadow, you come with me to see... See. As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao did not walk towards the outside of the house, because at the door, it was Xiahou Yuan who appeared.

There was a lot of bandaged white cloth on his body, and there was a strong smell of Chinese herbs, and the bleeding should have stopped. However, traces of blood can still be seen on the white cloth.

Xiahou Yuan didn't even wipe the filth off his face, and when he came here, his face was full of self-blame. The moment he saw Cao Cao, this self-blame was infinitely expanded, and he half-knelt down.

"Big brother, I'm sorry for you!"

"What's there to be sorry for? Miaocai, you get up for me. Cao Cao said.

Xiahou Yuan lowered his head, and when he heard Cao Cao's words, not only did he not get up, but his head lowered even deeper. If he was a little stronger, the eldest brother would not have been so seriously injured, and the private soldiers would not have suffered heavy losses, only one or two hundred people were left, and almost all of them were injured!

He saw the difficulties of recruiting these private soldiers at the beginning, as well as all kinds of inputs. These private soldiers, it can be said that they are the brainchild of their heart! It is an indispensable force, and with this power, there will be more room for maneuver in more times, but now, it is almost the same as nothing.

Xiahou Yuan was ashamed to death, he thought of what he looked like when he first set off, and he patted his chest with Cao Cao to promise. At that time, the eldest brother Xiahoudun was still standing by his side, did not speak, and was as calm as usual.

But, it's like a slap in the face.

Although the eldest brother Cao Cao didn't say any words of blame, the more this happened, the more ashamed Xiahou Yuan felt, and his face hurt hotly. Although no one was slapping him in the face, he could clearly hear the crisp sound of slaps on his face, one after another.

Disappointed, he lived up to the trust of his eldest brother!

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao, who was about to help Xiahou Yuan forward, stopped his movements and said coldly: "Get up for me!" ”

Xiahou Yuan still didn't answer, maintaining his current half-kneeling posture, motionless, and could feel that kind of fierceness.

"Get up." Cao Cao is extremely tough, from more than ten words at the beginning, to a few words later, to the current two words, the psychological changes are extremely fast.

"Is it a failure?" Cao Cao asked.

"No, but in my eyes, that's it." Hearing Cao Cao's question, Xiahou Yuan raised his head and replied.

"Oh, that's right." Cao Cao nodded, his gaze was like a knife, and he shot straight towards Xiahou Yuan.

"So, you're going to kneel like this all the time? Failure, a so-called failure in the eyes, will you Xiahou Miaocai be knocked down? Or are you Xiahou Miaocai originally like this, and you can't afford to fail? Did I missee you, or was this exactly what you were? ”

Cao Cao's series of questions made Xiahou Yuan speechless.

"It's not! That's not true. Xiahou Yuan replied loudly.

"Then you stand up for me."

"Stand up, stand up!" Xiahou Yuan muttered in his mouth, and Huo Ran stood up.

He was tall, and after standing up, he was more than a year taller than Cao Cao.

This kind of visual oppression is strong for any man, but Cao Cao looked at it without any change in his face.

"Tell me, what's going on?" He asked.

From the beginning of the apprehension, to now, Cao Cao's heart has stabilized. As long as Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are fine, other things are nothing at all, and it doesn't matter if those private soldiers are dead.

Soldiers can be recruited again, and the money and food spent can be earned again, but some people are gone, they are gone, and they will not appear again. So, what is really worth preciously is the person you think is precious.

"The Liangzhou cavalry has retreated, Dong Zhuo should also be injured, and for more specific situations, someone will investigate, but the news has not been passed back yet." Xiahou Yuan didn't know why he felt scared when he came into contact with Cao Cao's emotionless gaze, and now he became much more honest.

"That's right." Cao Cao's expression remained unchanged and he pondered.

He asked again, "How is Yuan Rang?" ”

Xiahou Yuan's situation, in fact, from the mouth of the candle shadow, from Xiahou Yuan's current state, Cao Cao can also deduce something. There should be a few major injuries, and there will be many small injuries, but none of them will be fatal, otherwise Xiahou Yuan will definitely be in another state now.

That's why he put the question about Xiahoudun in the second place to ask, not because he didn't care, but because he already knew.

"Big brother, he's still asking the doctor to treat the wound, and he shouldn't be able to come in a short time." When it came to Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan became a little depressed again.

He was very annoyed, annoyed why he was so slow in the first place, and didn't go to his eldest brother Xiahoudun to fight side by side. It is precisely because he is slow that the eldest brother Xiahoudun will suffer so many injuries, and those wounds and pains should have been borne by him together.

"So, what's there to be discouraged about?" Cao Cao asked.

"I... I don't know. Xiahou Yuan opened his mouth, but in the end he spit out these words.

"Is this called failure?" Cao Cao then asked.

Xiahou Yuan nodded, he thought, this is failure, failure is exactly like this. made him feel powerless and wanted to reverse it, but he had no way to change it, so he could only watch the established facts appear in his eyes.

"If this time it's called a failure, and it makes you like this, what about the next time? The next time, if there is another failure, do you have to give up resistance? Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, and he could see the chagrin in Xiahou Yuan's eyes.

In fact, he had the exact same chagrin. Letting him stay in Luoyang City, waiting like this, is really one of the greatest tortures in the world. What kind of son of a daughter, he can't sit down, he Cao Cao is not worth a thousand gold, and he won't sit all the time, and he won't even move.

He will be brave and ruthless, he was holding a stone at the beginning, and he was invincible in the street battles in Luoyang City! He can kill, a green sword, where the sword goes, blood flows! He is a commander, not only the commander of the soldiers, but also the one who rushes to the front when killing the enemy!

Like him, how could he be willing to sit in the middle of the house, waiting for an unknown result to appear? But he sat down until now.

Xiahou Yuan's anger is big, isn't his Cao Mengde's anger big?

"Failure, since you know why you failed, then after this failure, next time, failure will not be allowed! There's no time to be upset, and when you're upset, you don't know how many opportunities are slipping through your hands. Those hours may be insignificant, but they add up to the power to change the outcome! ”

"You can kneel, you can cry. But I hope that after you kneel down and get back up, your waist will be so hard that no one can break him! After this tears, the next tears, I hope, will be accompanied by the blood of the enemy! ”

Xiahou Yuan was thrilled by Cao Cao's words in just a few words, and a strong fighting spirit appeared on his body, and he fluttered. He straightened his waist, and the chagrin and regret in his eyes all disappeared at once, because, next time, there would never be such a situation!

"Oh, yes." Cao Cao suddenly remembered that he still had a question he hadn't asked, the situation of those private soldiers. He used his private money, plus the money from the clan, how is the private army he built now?

If he really died, then his heart would really bleed. Those money, but he finally saved it, and he was going to buy the money from Ying'er, as well as the money from the clan, and it took a lot of effort to come out!

"What about the casualties of the private soldiers?"

Rewind time to the present day later.

"What is the current situation in Luoyang City?" Yun Ting was also asking the Oneiroi question, a completely different question.

The loss of Cao Cao's private soldiers, Yun Ting only felt slightly guilty, and disappeared without a trace after a while. Anyway, the person is not his, and the money spent is not his, so he will not have any feelings.

How can you feel pain when you pluck the hair on someone else's body?

In other words, the losses on the side of Zhan Feng Zhan Maniac are also quite serious, and there are cats and others who died in that battle, and the strength will definitely not be able to recover in a short period of time.

Will Dong Zhuo still enter Luoyang City?

Yes, it's just a matter of what state you will enter Luoyang City. What Yun Ting is worried about now is that Dong Zhuo has made various preparations, and in the future, there will be other troops coming one after another.

"What do you care so much for?" Oneiroi glanced at Yun Ting with disgust.

"Luoyang City may not be able to operate without anyone, but without you, it will still operate the same."

This... Yun Ting felt a pain that pierced his heart.
