In the military tent, Xiahoudun's face was gloomy, and many generals next to him were also full of horror, for fear that this general would hold him accountable.

"An army of 18,000 built fortifications overnight in advance, but was routed by more than a thousand cavalry, how do you let General Ben face the prime minister!"

At this time, Xiahoudun's face was flushed and he looked extremely excited.

Below him, the general who was in charge of building the fortifications was also frightened at this time, and hurriedly explained.

"General! Since the last general received the construction of fortifications, he has not stopped for a moment, personally supervising and directing the construction of the rejection horse, but the time is too short, and it can only be like this overnight! ”

Hearing these words, the expression on Xiahou Xuan's face still did not ease, and after a sneer, he directly questioned.

"Humph! General Ben naturally knows that if you give you a few more days, the fortifications will naturally be able to be built, but if this is the case, will Lu Bu still charge over? ”

After an angry shout, Xiahoudun also said the reason why he was angry.

"What General Ben wants to ask is where are the soldiers and horses under your command when Lu Bu rushed through the rejection of the horse!"

Cao Cao's army has strict military discipline, and the general is responsible for resisting Lu Bu's cavalry.

But he didn't know where he was going when Lu Bu was charging into battle, causing the fortifications to be like paper paste, which was why there was such a rout, and naturally he was also responsible for this general.

After the general heard such a question, he was immediately full of guilt when he wanted to defend himself, and then knelt down and took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"The last general is not good for guarding the flanks, and I ask the general to surrender!"

Seeing that this general confessed his guilt, the corners of Xiahoudun's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and then he said coldly.

"According to military discipline, you should apologize with death."

As soon as he said that, the general's whole body trembled, as if he didn't expect Xiahoudun to be so ruthless.

However, after all, he was also a general under Xiahou Dun, and at this time, after knowing that he had indeed made a mistake and caused a huge mistake, he had no intention of explaining.

I saw that after he untied the sword, his face showed a little pleading.

"There is still a fifty-year-old blind mother at the last general's house, and I ask the general to take care of one or two, Hao Zhao is here to thank the general!"

After finishing speaking, I saw that this general bowed to Xiahoudun, and then pulled out the long sword in his hand to wipe his neck and apologize.

The long sword was unsheathed, and when it was about to swing towards the neck, suddenly a blue light appeared, and then a crisp sound was heard, and the saber in the general's hand was suddenly cut off.

In front of him, Cao Ang's face was even more frosty at this time, and he looked extremely unhappy.

"At present, the enemy is now, you don't want to introspect and destroy the enemy, but you just want to apologize with death, you still miss the fifty-year-old mother at home, if you let her know that you are afraid of sin and die, the neighbors can assassinate her in the future!"

At this moment, when the young general was about to wipe his neck and kill himself, it was Cao Ang who rescued this person.

And after the general heard Cao Ang's words, his face was also full of guilt at this time, and he hurriedly bowed down respectfully to him.

"The last general is willing to be a loyal minister and filial son, and I also ask the prince and the general to give the last general another chance, even if it is a horse pawn charging into battle, the last general will never complain!"

Although Xiahoudun on the side was extremely angry, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot at this time when he saw that this general was so strong and able to apologize with death, and saw that Cao Ang had the heart to save him.

"Humph! Do your own thing first, if the flank of my army is defeated by Lu Bu again, don't say that General Ben didn't give you another chance! ”

After saying a word, the general's face also showed ecstasy, and after thanking Xiahoudun and Cao Ang, he hurriedly continued to deploy military projects.

After this general left, Cao Ang's eyes flashed a little strange, and he said a word to Xiahoudun in a normal tone.

"Uncle, this young general seems to be a talent, if he can really make meritorious contributions, let him come to my side, it just so happens that I also need some blood around me to be a young and vigorous general."

In the past few days, Cao Ang has been following Xiahoudun's side, although he has not made great achievements, but he has also helped Xiahoudun a lot.

So when he heard his words at this time, Cao Ang naturally didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded and agreed.

"If the prince needs a general, you can let Xiahou Chong stay by your side, although this Hao Zhao has been in the army since he was a child, he is an outsider after all."

Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and he has now begun to take over the military power, which naturally means that he will take over Cao Cao's position in the future.

Xiahoudun, as Cao Cao's confidant general, also understands this, although there is nothing to talk to, but his attitude towards him is still extremely intimate.

Seeing this Xiahoudun courting him, Cao Ang also chuckled, and then asked tentatively.

"Hehe, Xiahou Chong is the eldest son of his uncle, does his uncle really not keep him by his side and cultivate him well?"

Listening to such an inquiry, Xiahoudun also chuckled and expressed his opinion.

"This kid has been by my side since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of the world, but it's too dangerous to follow me, if you can follow Childe's side, you can not only solve your son's worries, but also increase your knowledge."

Although Cao Cao is now in his prime, after the formation of a new generation of forces, Xiahoudun still has a very long-term view, and has long put his son by Cao Ang's side.

At this time, Cao Ang was employing people, and the more talents he had, the better, and he agreed after a smile.

"Since that's the case, then the son won't refuse."

In an instant, Xiahou Xuan, who was still extremely angry because of the rout of the army, also laughed with Le at this time.

It was at this time that there was a sound of hurried steps outside the account, and then a report was heard.

"General Qiyu, there's a secret letter from the prime minister."

As soon as he said this, Xiahoudun's face immediately became solemn, and he personally took the secret letter from Cao Cao and read it with Cao Ang.

On the basis of this secret letter, Cao Cao learned from the news from Chen Gui in Xiapi that it was estimated that in half a day, there would be a team transporting grain from Xiapi, and he deliberately asked Xiahoudun to ambush in advance, so as to get rid of this team transporting grain.

"Childe, Lu Bu broke through the defense line here not long ago, General Ben can't leave for a while, now the time is urgent, how about Childe take Xiahou Chong to ambush?"

Hearing that it was a team transporting grain, Xiahoudun was also extremely dignified, knowing that they must not be allowed to supply Xiaopei.

It's just that he really can't leave, so this matter can only be handed over to Cao Ang.

And Cao Ang also wants to really show his skills, so he naturally won't refuse at this time.

"Okay, I'll go and deploy troops to ambush in advance!"
