"The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely?" Zixuan is angry, and he doesn't admit that he lost the battle, not because he can't accept this reality, because he hasn't died yet, and the winner hasn't been seen yet.

"The strength of the moment is the strength, and the victory or defeat of the eternal is reasonable." Zixuan fell asleep on the railing with his eyes closed, he wanted to keep quiet and wait for the times to change.

Two days later, as Zixuan expected, Zixuan arrived in Xuchang, Cao Cao came to the camp, Cao Ren saw Cao Cao and saluted, "Prime Minister, the last general has brought him back." ”

"Good, well done." Cao Cao praised Cao Ren again and again, and Cao Ren continued: "It's just... Cao Cao, who saw him talking awkwardly, hurriedly asked, "Just what?" ”

Cao Ren waved his hand, and the two soldiers brought Zixuan up, Zixuan's hands were tied, and only his legs were left to move, Zixuan came to Cao Cao and was still neither humble nor arrogant, and did not kneel to Cao Cao, the two soldiers kicked Zixuan's knees,

Zixuan stumbled and fell to the ground, Zixuan did not give in, although his hands were tied, he still strangled the two to death, Cao Ren asked, "Zixuan, what do you mean by this?" ”

After a few days of getting along, Zixuan saw that Cao Ren and Cao Cao were different, Cao Ren was honest and loyal, and Zixuan's stubborn temper was also very good for Cao Ren's way, and their relationship improved.

Zixuan looked at Cao Cao angrily, "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated." Seeing Zixuan like this, Cao Cao smiled, "You lose, don't surrender quickly, I, Cao Cao, can't bear to kill you." ”

Zi Xuan sneered: "Would you rather die with a severed head than surrender to your knees?" Zixuan seemed to be going to die rather than surrender, and Cao Cao persuaded again: "Zixuan, it's not a shame to defeat me Cao Cao." ”

Zi Xuan thought to himself why Cao Cao liked Guan Yu, it was because he was a loyal and righteous person, he would rather die than surrender, how could Zi Xuan not be as good as Guan Yu, did he want to surrender like this enemy, and continued: "The military law says: 'If the army is defeated, it will be killed, and it will be taken captive' The husband killed himself, regarded death as home, and the merit was at that time, and his name was in the posterity, so why be afraid of death? ”

Cao Ren also persuaded Zixuan on the side: "Zixuan, don't be stubborn. ”

Zixuan didn't hear what he did, Cao Cao was still interested in Zixuan and then asked: "Zixuan, you are defeated by the army, even if I let you go back, then Liu Bei will not let you go, even if Liu Bei lets you go, it will be difficult to escape military law." ”

"Things are in the ears of people, how can those who are rotten know about them?" Cao Cao saw that Zixuan didn't know what was going on, and then said: "How shallow is the view of the footsteps? I want Cao Cao, capture Lu Bu in Xiapi, urge Yuan Shao to Guandu, chase Liu Bei to Longyou, and break Wuhuan in the white wolf...... Are you not worthy to be your lord? ”

Zixuan heard Cao Cao boast of his merits, took two steps, and chanted a poem: "Tongguan defeated Wangfeng and fled, and Meng De took off his brocade robe in a hurry. The sword cut the mustache should be mourned, and the price of horse ultrasound is sky-high. ”

Zixuan said about his defeat, I don't know what he would say? After walking a few steps, he turned around and continued: "When Puyang attacked Lu Bu, Wancheng fought Zhang Xiu's day; Chibi meets Zhou Lang, Huarong meets Guan Yu; Cut the beard and abandon the robe in Tongguan, seize the boat and avoid the arrows in Weishui. ”

Zixuan couldn't help but continue to say: "The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a thief; If the minister regards the king as a mustard, then the people of the world regard him as a thief. Zixuan tactfully scolded Cao Cao for being a national thief, look at what the old thief said.

Ha...... Ha ......, Cao Cao laughed loudly, the person in front of him is really not afraid of death, "Since I assisted the government, the country and the people have been safe, and the four seas have been peaceful......" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Zixuan interrupted him, "The dog eats people and eats without knowing how to check it, and it is painted with hunger but does not know the hair.... How can you make the country too peaceful and the people safe? ”

After saying that, Zixuan fell, it was not easy to hold on until now, Zixuan had run out of oil and the lamp had dried up, and he had no power to fight back. Cao Cao saw that Zixuan, who still had the strength to curse just now, fell down at this moment, so he asked, "What's wrong with him?" Cao Ren rubbed his hands together and said softly, "He was seriously injured and has not been treated. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder his face turned pale just now, and he was weak to speak, and blamed Cao Rendao, "Don't you send someone to heal?" ”

"No."

Cao Ren hurriedly went to the medical officer in person, and Xun Yu on the side said: "Prime Minister, he is the same person as Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, how can he surrender to Prime Minister?" ”

"Then use him to lure Ma Chao forward."

"No."

Cao Cao left the camp and took Zixuan to the prime minister's mansion, and a few days later went to visit Zixuan in person, and the military doctor saw Cao Cao coming and hurriedly saluted, "Prime Minister." ”

"How's he doing?"

Xun Yu's face was red, slightly hot, and pointed at Zixuan, "Prime Minister, this... ”

"Go down first."

The medical officer said, "Prime Minister, she is a woman. ”

"What?" The medical officer was so frightened that he knelt down, "Don't dare to deceive the prime minister, she is indeed a woman." Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, and immediately calmed down, "How is her injury?" ”

"It's fine, but it's a few days of recuperation."

"You go down first." - Cao Cao thought to himself, a woman has such talent, has such courage, dares to be my enemy, and has not been discovered for so long, it's not easy—

After a day, Zixuan woke up, and when he woke up, he saw that he was in a strange house, the quilts in the house were all satin, embroidered with patterns, and the furnishings in the house were very luxurious, giving Zixuan a strange feeling.

No, this is neither the house of the Ma Mansion nor the house of the Zhao Mansion, seeing two maids standing next to him, seeing Zixuan wake up and say, "Miss is awake, I will go and tell the prime minister." ”

The girl in pink on the side said, "Please change your clothes." The remaining girl in blue said.

Zixuan was very puzzled in his heart,--Miss? They know that I am a woman, Prime Minister, it is Cao Cao, it really takes no effort to come, no, you have to calm down, and after a while, Zixuan will dress up and wait for the Prime Minister, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave's name is Le Ting."

"Very good, Le Ting, I ask you a few questions to answer me honestly."

"No."

"Where am I now?" The woman replied, "Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Oh, then this is Xuchang." This is definitely not a place to stay for a long time, Cao Cao is not a good type, and his mansion is very dangerous for her as a woman.

"Miss Hui, yes."

"How many days have I been asleep?"

"I slept all day when I got home." - It took me five days from Luoyang to get here, I slept for a day, and for almost seven days Meng Qi didn't know my whereabouts, Cao Cao, what did he do with me?

Could it be that it is to fish Meng Qi, no, the first strike is strong-, Zixuan saw Cao Cao in the dressing, and hurriedly saluted him, "Minnuxuan has seen the prime minister." Zi Xuan barely squeezed out a smile, Cao Cao saw that Zi Xuan was stunned, and after reacting, he said, "You guys go down first." ”

"No."

Cao Cao gave him a false help and motioned for him to get up, "Haha, Zixuan? ”

Zixuan didn't dare to raise his head, "Yes, what does the prime minister command?" ”

"Your real name isn't Zixuan." Her tone became serious, "Prime Minister, the people's daughter is called Hong'er, and she is forced by life to dress up as a man. ”

"Oh, that's the case, then why did you defect to Sun Quan and Liu Bei many times."

"If I don't meet a confidant, they can't trust me and reuse me."

"What about me? From now on, I will live in this prime minister's house. ”

"It's... Prime minister. ”

"Okay, then I'm not too strong, just stay in the house."

"No." After Cao Cao left, Hong'er sat on the chair weakly,--Cao Cao's generation of traitors, I have to be careful, I have to find out the terrain, gain his trust, one day I have to flee back, I want to see him - Kong Ming --, Le Ting came in, "Miss, the prime minister is holding a banquet in the mansion tonight, please prepare well." ”

Okay, there is another Hongmen banquet, Zixuan Hongmen has eaten a lot, so he is not afraid, "Okay, you go and help me find a Confucian robe." The maidservant on the side was a little embarrassed,

"Miss, this..."

"What, what's wrong? From now on, don't call me Miss, call me Childe. She didn't dare to offend Zixuan, so she had to agree, "No." ”

Zixuan has been thinking about why Cao Cao set up a banquet for no reason, is he trying to tell everyone and the world that I surrendered to Cao Cao, if I am taken hostage and brought Meng Qi forward, I should also write a letter, then I will strike first.

At this time, Zixuan picked up a hairpin and swiped it down towards his hand, and immediately the blood flowed, just as Le Ting came to deliver the clothes, "Ah, Miss, you are injured!" Wait until I'm going to the doctor. Hurry up and stop her, "Slow, what did you call me just now?" ”

"Childe." This is terrible, the medical officer knew at a glance how it was injured, how could they see it, "No need, go and help me find some gold sore medicine, don't look for a doctor." ”

"This..."

"Go."

"No." Zixuan simply wrapped the wound with a handkerchief after applying the medicine, and I must not let the doctor help me see it, nor can I let others help me with the medicine, so that I can pretend for a few more days.

Xun Yu has been wandering around the Prime Minister's Mansion since he came back, and he found Xu Chu and whispered, "The Prime Minister is going to hold a banquet in the Mansion tonight, do you know why?" General Xu Chu didn't understand anything, and replied innocently: "Isn't it because he repelled Ma Chao a few days ago?" ”

Xun Yu explained: "The prime minister brought back a Confucian student, and I heard that the medical officer said that it was a woman. ”

"What?"

"The prime minister will be more dangerous tonight than the night in the White Gate Tower, this woman is more charming than Diao Chan, and she is also resourceful and very scheming, and the prime minister is afraid that it is dangerous."

Xu Chu heard that the man was going to kill Cao Cao: "Then I'll kill her tonight." ”

"What if the prime minister is to blame?" Tested his mind but got a rock-solid determination, "I have not been afraid of the prime minister and I have been born and died for so many years, are you still afraid that the prime minister will blame?"

After saying that, he left, "Good general." Xun Yu looked at Xu Chu's departing back and gave a thumbs up.

In the evening, Zixuan attended on time, and saw Cao Cao sitting in the middle of the banquet, and an older Confucian sitting on the left, who was introduced as Xun Yu, and a military general sat at the next table.

It turned out to be Xu Chu, who had fought with Meng Qi, and there were three richly dressed young men sitting on the right hand, I am afraid that they were Cao Cao's sons, Zixuan sat at the second table on the left hand side, and listened to the maid next to him introduce that this is the second son, Cao Pi, "I have seen the second son." ”

Zixuan looked at him carefully, from his return, he was not a gentle person, difficult to get along with, I am afraid that he is as loyal as Liu Bei, and he is a hypocrite, but he can see a trace of viciousness in his eyes, I am afraid that he is more scheming than Liu Bei.

This is the third son, Cao Zhang, "I've seen the third son." I saw Cao Zhang with a sword tied around his waist, I was afraid that he was just a martial artist, so he didn't have to worry.

This is the fourth son, Cao Zhi, "I've seen the fourth son." "It's polite." I heard that he was very eloquent, but he was very romantic, and there was no one in his eyes, Zixuan sat down carefully after examining the three sons, refusing to say a word more, refusing to take one more step, for fear that there would be a mistake and Chi's life would be in danger.

The atmosphere in the banquet was solemn, Xun Yu, Xu Chu and others did not trust Zixuan, Cao Cao spoke, "Today's dinner here is to celebrate the repulsion of Ma Chao a few days ago, and second, to introduce Zixuan to everyone, he is already willing to stay and be my guest." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, Zixuan didn't move and drank alone, and suddenly stood up alone, "Father, I am willing to play a song to welcome Zixuan." "Seeing that it is the fourth son, Zixuan got up" Thank you to the fourth son. ”
