Chapter 40: The Poisoner

Xi Zhicai is dying and unconscious.

Xiahou Yuan told Cao Cao that when they arrived at Hucheng Pavilion, they noticed that the garrison in the camp was lax, so they decided to fight quickly.

However, when they entered the camp, they found that it was an empty camp.

Not only that, but the camp was also full of fire-starters.

Xi Zhicai immediately realized that they had been tricked, so he wanted to evacuate the camp. But unexpectedly, an ambush suddenly appeared around the camp and fired rockets into the camp. As a result, the entire camp turned into a sea of fire, and when Xi Zhi broke through, he was shot two arrows by stray arrows. If it weren't for Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan desperately protecting them, maybe Xi Zhicai would have been buried in the fire.

Cao Cao, stunned!

I think that at the beginning, it was Wei Zi and Xi Zhicai who persuaded them, and in the end it was Cao Cao who made up his mind.

But in the blink of an eye, Weizi died, and Xi Zhicai was also dying......

The horror of war is even more obvious. Both of them had the idea of following Cao Cao to make contributions at the beginning, but who would have expected that they would become like this before they made an inch. Looking at Xi Zhicai's pale face, Cao Cao only felt a heartache.

"Send Mr. to Huanyong City immediately and make every effort to treat him."

Cao Cao took off his wet robe and put it on the unconscious Xi Zhicai.

Turning around, his face had become solemn.

Click, a silver snake flashed in the night sky, and the miserable white light illuminated his face even more terrifyingly, revealing a thick murderous aura.

"Miaocai, Yuan Rang, Zixiao, Wenze!"

"Whoa!"

"With the four of you, each commanding five hundred troops, chasing and killing Ding Chen."

"Yes!"

At this point, it is impossible for Cao Cao to show any warmth and generosity.

Weiz is dead, and he can still face it calmly.

But Xi Zhicai died...... After all, he was the mastermind. At this time, if you show any warmth, I am afraid that tomorrow morning, the generals around you will leave one after another. Cao Cao was a smart man and knew when to make what decisions.

As for Ding Chen?

It's just his life......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Being able to reunite with the yellow hoof, that is, the claw lightning flying yellow, Ding Chen was obviously very happy.

After he succeeded in the sneak attack, he rode the yellow hoof, led his troops to evacuate the Cao army camp, and joined Jia Xu.

The yellow hoof was very happy, and it felt inexplicably happy to be able to meet the little master again. Along the way, the yellow hooves kept running until the heavy rain poured down, so that it could be regarded as being honest, obeying Ding Chen's command, and slowing down.

At dawn, Ding Chen and Jia Xu joined forces.

However, he only saw Gao Shun and Hu Che'er, but Yang Aruo and the two hundred Xinding, as well as the six hundred people, were nowhere to be seen.

Ding Chen didn't care, and immediately ordered to retreat in the rain.

"Sir, how is the battle going on your side?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Ziyang doesn't have to worry, a big fire, how can it break Cao Cao's four or five hundred people." ”

"Sir is really clever."

Ding Chen praised from the bottom of his heart, but when he saw Jia Xu, he only smiled slightly, and didn't seem to take it to heart.

Indeed, if it weren't for Jia Xu's design, how could it have won a big victory today.

In successive battles, Cao Cao lost more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. For Cao Cao, it was definitely a huge loss.

"So where are we going next?"

"Okura!"

Jia Xu showed a look of fatigue and replied softly.

Aocang, located in the northeast of Xingyang County, was originally a huge granary in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, after a series of turmoil, the grain and grass in Aocang have long been emptied, and only an empty city remains. Arrive at Aocang first, and then wait for orders. I believe that Hua Xiong also knows the severity, and he will not deliberately trouble him because Ding Chen evacuated Hucheng Pavilion.

I heard that the Yang people are about the war, but they are very anxious!

It's just that Ding Chen noticed that Jia Xu's interest didn't seem to be very high.

He seemed to have something on his mind, and he was a little absent-minded along the way, and when he talked to Ding Chen, he often wandered, which made Ding Chen feel strange.

The sun is angry, and the clouds are open and the fog is gone.

It was an excellent weather that drove away the haze brought by yesterday's storms without a trace.

After walking for more than an hour, Ding Chen ordered everyone to rest.

"Lao Gao, what's wrong with Mr.?"

While resting, Ding Chen pulled Gao Shun aside and asked in a low voice.

Gao Shun had a blank expression on his face and said in a low voice: "I don't know either...... After repelling Cao's soldiers and horses last night, my husband asked me to lead my troops away. ”

Ding Chen couldn't get the result when he saw it, so he could only give up.

"Well, then you have a good rest.

We tossed all night, and everyone was very tired.

Take a break, eat something, and when Yang Aruo and the others arrive, let's set off again and strive to arrive in Aocang before the evening. ”

Gao Shun was not polite, said a word to Ding Chen, and returned to the trappers.

This guy is weird.

He doesn't like luxury, and he doesn't covet pleasure.

Eat and drink occasionally, but never drink heavily; Although he likes food, he never wants it.

has known Gao Shun for so long, Ding Chen has never even seen him looking for a woman. At his age, he should be the most impulsive. But no! Gao Shun's life is not much different from that of an ascetic. More often than not, he likes to be in the barracks, mingling with the soldiers, eating the same meals, sleeping in the same tents, and not complaining.

However, it must be precisely for this reason that the trappers were able to form combat effectiveness in such a short period of time!

Anyway, in Ding Chen's opinion, if it were him, he would never be able to do Gao Shun's point.

Thinking of this, Ding Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

He leaned against a tree and closed his eyes.

In fact, he was also tired.

Yesterday during the day, there was a fierce battle with Cao's army.

At night, he led his troops to attack, stealing camps and robbing villages.

Then, he led the soldiers and horses to retreat overnight, and marched until dawn.

Even if he was physically strong, he couldn't stand it faintly. Leaning on the trunk of the tree at the moment, fatigue welled up, making him a little sleepy.

"Ziyang, Ziyang woke up?"

I don't know how long I closed my eyes, Ding Chen suddenly heard someone call his name.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Gao Shun's square face with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Lao Gao, am I asleep?"

Ding Chen rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?" Yang Aruo, have they arrived? ”

"Something's wrong!"

"Huh?"

Gao Shun said: "Yang Aruo's department and six hundred Minzhuang were pursued by the Cao army on the way to retreat.

Yang Aruo was killed in battle, almost all the 600 people were wiped out, and the 200 recruits were also dressed in clothes, and only a dozen people ran back. ”

"What?"

Ding Chen was still a little dazed, but after listening to Gao Shun's words, he immediately sobered up.

He stood up and looked at Gao Shun in horror.

Gao Shun nodded with a wry smile, "Our rear army is gone." ”

"Can I tell you, sir?"

"Hu Che'er has already gone to report."

"What about those who have fled?"

"Rest over there...... originally thought that Cao Cao had been defeated one after another and was unable to pursue. I never thought that he would ......

This is a tough opponent!

No wonder he was appointed as a military cadet at the beginning, and he really had his cleverness. ”

Gao Shun was full of emotion, but Ding Chen's thoughts were confused.

He always felt that things were not as simple as Gao Shun imagined, as if something was not right.

To be honest, Ding Chen's impression of Yang Aruo was not particularly deep. Although Yang Aruo was also born in Nangong Guards, there are 800 Nangong Guards, and he has been in command for a short time, how can he establish a deep friendship with everyone?

The reason why Yang Aruo was able to be promoted was because he performed well among the trappers at that time.

Later, when he went out with Ding Chen, he was also very cooperative.

So when he heard the news of Yang Aruo's death, Ding Chen did feel sad.

However, Ding Chen also understood the truth of 'the general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud was returned'. If Yang Aruo died, he would be sad, but he would not be sad. The reason why he felt that something was wrong was because Ding Chen felt that something seemed strange about this matter.

He followed Gao Shun to see the dozen or so defeated soldiers, and after calming them down, he inquired about the situation.

It turned out that when Yang Aruo led his troops to retreat, he was pursued by Xiahoudun and others. Yang Aruo was caught off guard, although he wanted to break through to the death, but this time Cao Jun was ruthless, and he was not Xiahoudun's opponent.

In the chaotic battle, Yang Aruo was killed in battle, and his soldiers, horses, and people were strong, and the whole army was wiped out.

"Then Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, where are they now?"

"I don't know, after we escaped, we didn't notice that there were Cao soldiers and horses chasing after us."

"Well, have a good rest, we'll set off in a while, and when we get to Aocang, we'll be safe."

Ding Chen comforted him and asked Gao Shun to retreat with the dozen or so people.

"Lao Gao, pay attention to everyone's emotions, so that everyone must not panic."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out."

Ding Chen nodded, then turned to leave.

He found Jia Xu by the stream in the forest by the roadside.

But I saw Jia Xu sitting leisurely by the stream, barefoot, putting his feet into the stream, not slapping the water and splashing around.

Ding Chen had some hesitation in his heart.

But he still walked over and sat down beside Jia Xu.

didn't make a sound, just watched Jia Xu slap the water with the soles of his feet like a child, and the water splashed and sprinkled on his face.

"Whew!"

Jia Xu let out a long sigh, as if he was satisfied with the game just now.

"You're so patient."

As he spoke, he picked up the gray linen plain silk foot coat and put it on, and said with a smile as he put it on.

"Why?"

Ding Chen asked softly.

Jia Xu put on his footwear, put on his shoes again, and stood up.

"Without him, protect yourself."

"Self-preservation?"

Jia Xu was condescending, looking down at Ding Chen.

After a while, he sighed softly and said, "Ziyang, you are too young after all!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Do you know that you discovered Cao Cao's soldiers and horses this time, and defeated them one after another, and it will definitely reach the ears of the prime minister. With 800 people, but they have made miraculous achievements, the prime minister will be very happy. But in this way, you will also become the target of public criticism. ”

"I don't understand."

"Hehe, you really don't understand?"

Jia Xu pointed at Ding Chen and said, "The prime minister has risen from Liangzhou, with the clansmen as the core, and has achieved today's great cause.

The generals under his command are all related to the prime minister's family. Li Dao Guo Yan in that pass is Niu Fu's cronies; Fan Chou Li Ru has a close relationship. Another example is Hua Xiong and Wei Yue, who stand on their outstanding military exploits, and Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang, is also a friend of the prime minister.

You are Cao Cao's wife and brother, and you are already suspicious.

And now, you have made great achievements, how can you not be envied?

In this battle, if you retreat with all your body, you will inevitably be attacked. Now, if you lose your troops, you can only be regarded as a miserable victory, which will be much easier in comparison. Ziyang, you have to remember one sentence: the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and you need to be careful. ”

Ding Chen was expressionless and looked at Jia Xu.

"But Mr. just said that you are doing this to protect yourself."

"You are the commander, and you can't escape jealousy.

I'm a mere bookkeeper, and I've always been a philistine, and I just want to be with the light.

It's just that you pulled me on the horse, but it was not easy to get out.

Yang Aruo, after all, it is not what you and I believe, once he exposes me...... Hehe, Li Wenyou will not spare me first. ”

Li Wenyou is Li Ru.

Ding Chen listened to Jia Xu's words and seemed to have an understanding.

His mouth opened, but in the end he didn't say anything more.

Jia Xu is for himself, and at the same time for Ding Chen.

Now, the war between Tiger Prison Pass and Yangren Pass is scorching, but Ding Chen has repeatedly made military exploits, not to mention, and he has retreated with his whole body, which will appear that others are incompetent and will be jealous. Now, as Jia Xu said, he lost his troops and retreated to Aocang, which does not seem so obvious, and it is not easy to be suspicious. This is definitely a good thing for Ding Chen.

As for Yang Aruo......

As Jia Xu said, he is not anyone's henchman.

Gao Shun, who met Ding Chen in Luoyang Prison, can be described as friends in distress.

And Gao Shun is simple-minded, obsessed with military affairs, and doesn't care about other things at all, so there is no need to worry.

Hu Che'er is Jia Xu's fellow countryman, and Jia Xu recommended him to Ding Chen.

The relationship between the two can be imagined.

Among the people who know the depth of Jia Xu, only Yang Aruo is an outsider.

In this case, Jia Xu's choice of Yang Aruo as cannon fodder became logical.

This is a ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal!

However, Ding Chen didn't think there was anything wrong, half of what Jia Xu did was because he didn't want to expose himself and protect himself, and the remaining half was for Ding Chen's sake and for Ding Chen's safety.

How did this make Ding Chen attack?

Thinking of this, he stood up.

"Sir, you are the poisoner of the world."

"Huh?"

"It's just, how do you know that Cao Cao will definitely send troops to pursue?"

"I don't know."

Jia Xu smiled, "I just think that Cao Cao, according to what you said, is definitely not a person who will give up."

He has suffered so many losses, he will not swallow his anger, and he will definitely try his best to get back face...... If, if Cao Cao hadn't pursued, I wouldn't have taken care of you. However, I will still find a way to get rid of that Yang Ah a little. ”

Jia Xu's words were an understatement.

But in Ding Chen's ears, there was a trace of gloomy atmosphere.

He felt a little chill in his heart, looked at Jia Xu, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Jia Xu said: "Let's go, let's rest for so long, it's time to hurry." ”

"Sir, are you really going to ignore me?"

Ding Chen took two steps and caught up with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "Ziyang, guess? ”

"I ......"

Jia Xu was ahead and stopped.

Sunlight poured through the cracks in the branches and leaves and shone on his clear face.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Let's go, if I really don't care about you, I will definitely explain it to you in advance.

It's not early, we have to speed up, strive to arrive in Aocang before dark, and report to the governor to know. ”

I don't know why, after hearing Jia Xu's words, Ding Chen's heart was relieved.

He took two steps and caught up with Jia Xu, "If you really don't care about me, then I will definitely find a way to drag you into the water together." ”

After saying that, he also smiled......
