At this time, Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou, what he saw was a piece of grass and trees, several miles of uninhabited, Dingtao, Guide to the front line as the most active place of the Jizhou army at the beginning, the people had long been taken away, Zhang Fan left after the ban gradually recovered the whole territory, but the loss of population could not be changed for a while, so it seemed very desolate, only a few soldiers in the town.

Cao Cao led the army back, Yu Ban immediately got the news, and led everyone to greet him, and the two met with great embarrassment.

When Cao Cao set out on the expedition, he was so righteous and heroic, and now although he has made some gains for various reasons, the situation is difficult to understand after all, and he seems to be a little wolf, and Yu Ban is even more anxious, and both of them are holding back a fire in their hearts, and they have nowhere to vent.

Cao Cao only stayed in Yanzhou for a while, explained some things about Yu Ban, and left Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu to help him control the overall situation, so he quickly rushed to Qingzhou to prepare to implement the predetermined plan.

From Shanyang to Rencheng County, Cao Cao did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and these states and counties were under his control and were very safe.

Along the way, he inquired in many ways, but no one found Sun Ce's movements, and the 200,000 Jiangdong troops were still stationed in Boyang, led by Jiangdong General Zhu Zhi, who was training soldiers and horses day and night.

"Zhu Zhi?" Cao Cao frowned, although this person is under Huang Gai and others, he is also a rare fierce general, if you want to take it, I am afraid it will not be easy.

But fortunately, Sun Ce hadn't rushed back yet, obviously he didn't dare to cross from Yanzhou, and he took a long detour, and he didn't know that Cao Cao would come back so quickly, so he lost the opportunity.

"That's it!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, he knew that although the Jiangdong Army was brave, it lacked a wise man, so he was very relaxed, and said: "The news from the front line did not spread back to Qingzhou so quickly, Zhu Zhi is afraid that he is still in the dark, we can open the city gate and let it hold a banquet for the lord, but it broke out during the banquet and defeated the 200,000 Jiangdong Army in Boyang City in one fell swoop!" If we can collect these warriors, the strength of our army will inevitably skyrocket! ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed his words, two days later they finally arrived in Boyang, Cao Cao rode alone to the city of Boyang, and smiled slightly: "Where is General Zhu Zhi?" ”

Zhu Zhi, who got the news, walked up to the city and was slightly stunned when he saw Cao Cao: "Isn't General Cao on the Jizhou front?" Why is it here? ”

Cao Cao smiled: "The front-line battle is quite fast, but the military food is insufficient, I will come back to raise some food and grass, and I will leave immediately!" ”

Zhu Zhi also laughed: "In this case, then I will set up a banquet for the general to welcome the wind, and wish the general a victory!" ”

The gate of Boyang City was opened, Cao Cao's face remained unchanged, but he secretly sneered in his heart, turned around and beckoned Xiahou Yuan and other generals, and led thousands of guards into the city together.

As soon as I entered, I saw the Jiangdong soldiers lined up, the armor was bright and shining, and everyone was brave and strong, and I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart: "The Jiangdong Tiger Army really lives up to its reputation, if these people can be taken under their command, why am I afraid of chaos?" ”

At that time, Zhu Zhi laughed and walked down: "General Cao, my Jiangdong Army is more powerful than your Yanzhou Army?" ”

Cao Cao's face was stunned, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but thinking of the purpose of this trip, he still nodded: "The Jiangdong Army is indeed majestic and mighty, unparalleled in the world!" ”

"When I take off your heads, these soldiers will be mine!" He added in his heart.

Zhu Zhi nodded with a smile, introduced Jiangdong soldiers to Cao Cao all the way, led him to the banquet venue, and did his best to boast along the way, saying that the Jiangdong Army was an invincible army with few in the sky and no earth.

Cao Cao was tired of it for a long time, so he reluctantly settled down, and went to the City Lord's Mansion with him to sit down for a banquet.

At the banquet, Cao Cao desperately poured wine into Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi did not refuse to come, obviously in a good mood, cup by cup, but the amount of wine was excellent, and it took a long time to get a little drunk.

Cao Cao let out a sigh, there was a murderous intent looming between the contraction of his eyes, his sense of Zhu Zhi was very bad, this person's heart for fame and fortune was too heavy, and he was proud and complacent, and his income was also a scourge, it was better to get rid of it, so as to prevent future troubles!

Raising his eyes and looking at Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan suddenly understood, stood up, the sword at his waist had already been handed, and approached Zhu Zhi with a sneer.

"Does the general have to dance the sword to cheer up?" Zhu Zhi was still smiling and looked at Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan was cold, and secretly said in his heart that this is really a wine bag and rice bag, Sun Jian is not blind, and he actually let him occupy such a high position at this time, so blind, no wonder he died at the hands of the villain.

"Dancing swords? Take your life! Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan shouted fiercely, the sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and wiped it towards Zhu Zhi's neck!

Xiahou Yuan thought that this hitter was coming, but he didn't expect to be deftly avoided by Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi looked over with a sneer, his eyes were clear, where was the slightest drunkness?

"Kill him!" Cao Cao was disturbed for no reason, and shouted in his mouth.

Xiahou Yuan knew that something was wrong, and immediately swung his sword forward, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren also rose up, and killed Zhu Zhi together, and they must kill him at the first time!

Zhu Zhi was not afraid at all, and the sword was already in his hand, blocking Xiahou Yuan's attack, at this time Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren had already killed, but before they could attack, there was a burst of applause in the ground, and a spear came out of thin air, blocking and shaking back the two of them!

Seeing the comer, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and he almost lost his voice: "Sun Ce? How did you end up here! ”

That's right, the person who made the move at the moment of crisis was Sun Ce!

Sun Ce looked at Cao Cao and sneered: "Why can't I be here?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly tightened, and at this time, a person turned out behind Sun Ce, wearing a brocade robe and a lupine scarf, heroic and sassy, it was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!

Cao Cao's complexion changed again and again: "This is impossible!" I've explored along the way, but I haven't found any signs of a large group of people! ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao's face turned pale instantly, and sure enough, Zhou Yu's feather fan shook lightly: "The team naturally didn't arrive so quickly, but Bo Fu and I quickly stepped up, and it was not difficult to hide from your guards!" ”

Cao Cao looked a little lost: "You know I'll come back?" ”

Zhou Yu laughed: "Why did I know that you would come back?" Originally, we just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, after all, soldiers are fast! I didn't expect to catch your big fish, but I was unexpected! ”

Cao Cao knew that he had been calculated, Zhu Zhi's expression just now was clearly delaying time, if it was not bad as expected, now they have been surrounded!

Sure enough, countless swords and axes suddenly poured out of the door, staring at each other, and the sneer on Sun Ce's face became stronger and stronger, and he shouted: "There is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
