Xiahou Chong fell into an indescribable state, which resembled a state of paranoia, in which he just insisted on one thing, and the same thing was said over and over again in his mouth, and his head seemed to have been cut off from the outside world, and no matter what others said, he could not listen to what others said.

Dong Wan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Xiahou Chong's demented appearance, no wonder, when he first heard this set of theories, it took a long time to slowly accept it, for a person with Xiahou Chong's character, at first hearing these words, his heart will definitely be greatly impacted, and it is more difficult for him to accept this statement at once, and it is estimated that he will need more time to digest it slowly.

It's just that now that time is in a hurry, where is there time for him to slowly digest and slowly realize, he has already said everything that should be said, but it has not had the expected effect, and this time, Dong Wan doesn't know what to do. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cao Hong and cast a look of help at him.

As soon as this old man came up, he scolded Xiahou Chong, not only did he not help, but he also helped to add to the chaos, and now he is helpless, and he will see if he has any other way to go to the doctor when he is in a hurry.

Cao Hong saw the performance of Dong Wan and Xiahou Chong, and he was also very anxious. At first, he saw that Dong Wan was right, and he was very happy in his heart, and even he felt very reasonable about Dong Wan's words, as if he betrayed the Cao family and surrendered to Shu Han is not only a shameful bad thing, but a good thing worthy of praise.

However, what made him anxious was that no matter what Dong Wan said, Xiahou Chong just refused to surrender, even if he felt that in fact, Xiahou Chong had already approved Dong Wan's statement, but Xiahou Chong still refused to surrender.

This is really a strong man who can't be pulled back by nine cows, Cao Hong has been leading the army for a long time, and he has seen a lot of such strong people in the army, he knows the character characteristics of this kind of person, and knows that even if he says anything now, he can't change his mind.

However, the situation is urgent, and they cannot afford to waste much time. Zhang Bao only gave them two hours, and asked them to persuade Xiahou Chong to surrender within two hours, otherwise, they would launch a strong attack and completely wipe out the 50,000 Wei reinforcements.

Cao Hong knew very well why Zhang Bao was in such a hurry, because the reinforcements of Wei were definitely more than this way, if they did not quickly solve this reinforcement, and wait for several other reinforcements to rush over and form a situation of encirclement of the Shu army, then even if the Shu army was powerful, it would have to be hated on the spot in the heavy encirclement of several times the force.

In fact, what Cao Hong didn't know was that in addition to this reason, Zhang Bao was in such a hurry, and there was another important reason, that is, after a series of battles, there was not much gunpowder left in the army.

When there is enough ammunition, even if he is surrounded by enemies several times his size, Zhang Bao will not have any worries, because as long as there is enough ammunition, it is impossible for the cold weapon troops of the Wei army to stop the footsteps of the first division, and the first division can leave if it wants, stay as long as it wants, and go wherever it wants, and there will be no problems at all.

However, if he fell into the heavy encirclement of the enemy army when he ran out of ammunition and food, the situation would not be good, which was the main reason why Zhang Bao wanted to quickly solve the Wei reinforcements along the way. As long as this reinforcement is destroyed, it can continue to fight the Wei army for a time difference, and when the next reinforcement arrives, the Shu army's northern route army is still facing the Wei army with only tens of thousands of people, even if there is no ammunition at that time, with the strong field combat ability of the Xianbei cavalry, it is not difficult to deal with.

Cao Hong was anxious to complete this task, not because he was worried that the Shu army would launch an attack and wipe out the 50,000 Wei troops, not to mention that he had surrendered to Shu Han now, even if he was still a minister of Wei, he would not pay much attention to the 50,000 Wei army.

The reason why he was anxious was because this could be said to be the first task given to him by Zhang Bao since he surrendered to Shu Han (he had volunteered to lead the way and deceive the city gate before, in order to kill Chang'an as soon as possible to save his family), if this task could not be completed well, it would be too embarrassing, and it would also leave a bad impression on the emperor and Shangguan in the future.

As a person who has just joined the service, of course he doesn't want to do this, but now this seemingly simple task has encountered an unexpected difficulty, the object of their persuasion is not in the oil and salt, and even completely closed their hearts and does not accept information from the outside world.

This is like those patients who are clenched and in a deep coma, and the decoction cannot be poured into it, how to cure the disease? No matter how eloquent Dong Wan and Cao Hong are, no matter how many persuasive words they think of, they are completely useless at this time.

Xiahou Chong is like a peerless swordsman, he has no tricks to win, but he blindly relies on brute force to smash people, and Dong Wan and Cao Hong naturally have no way to crack his tricks. Cao Hong and Dong Wan stared at each other for a while, seeing that the time given by Zhang Bao was up, they still didn't think of any good solution.

It seems that in this case, there is no good solution for the powerless literati, but fortunately, Cao Hong is not a literati, he is first a businessman, and then, he is also a warrior and a general.

Like Xiahou Chong, he is a general who has led troops to fight for a long time, and he has much longer and more experience in leading troops to fight than Xiahou Chong. Since he is also a warrior and a general, his temper also has certain similarities with Xiahou Chong.

This is also the reason why he had a big quarrel with Xiahou Chong as soon as he came, because everyone is a hot-tempered person, and the two did not smell like each other, nor did they hit it off, but they were about to break out, just a little bit.

Cao Hong didn't say much after arguing with Xiahou Chong at the beginning, and now, when the negotiations were in trouble, Cao Hong had to use his brain, which was full of business experience, to find a way. However, from a business point of view, he didn't think of any good way.

Gradually, he became impatient, then irritable, and his martial nature began to be revealed. At first, he could still suppress his anger, but there was silence on the scene, which made the atmosphere particularly depressing, and Cao Hong's anger became more and more difficult to suppress, and in the end, he finally broke out.

He pulled out the sword hanging on his waist with a "bang", put it on Xiahou Chong's neck, and scolded in his mouth: "Rabbit cub, stubborn, you don't even listen to your uncle's words, today the old man will teach you a good lesson on behalf of your father." ”

Although Cao Hong was not treated well by Cao Pi, he was a member of the Cao clan, had a marquis, and still had a certain status in the Wei State. The relationship between the Cao family and the Xiahou family is very close, so Cao Hong and Xiahou Chong originally knew each other, and the two families also had contacts, so Xiahou Chong's personal soldiers also knew Cao Hong and knew that he was an important person.

So, when Cao Hong entered the big tent to see Xiahou Chong, his own soldiers did not remove his sword, and they did not believe that the general's uncle would be unfavorable to the general. The momentary negligence of the pro-soldiers gave Cao Hong an opportunity.
