Under Fancheng, the fighting between the two armies of Cao and Liu was suspended.

Ten miles north of the gate of Fancheng, a temporary wooden pavilion was established at the expense of the defenders of Fancheng, and a table of wine and banquet was set up.

Here, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, wants to meet his old friend, Guan Yu, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion.

Guan Yu is quite awkward, I didn't say I wanted to meet, why did that bastard kid agree without permission?!

Zhang Xi is actually more awkward. If you don't promise to say it earlier, what can I do if you say that it is "inappropriate" to meet when the messenger leaves?!

I promised to go out, is it possible that I can regret it halfway?!

Guan Yu didn't want Zhang Xi to regret it, but there was a problem that Guan Yu had been thinking about. When they met, what should he call Cao Cao.

Cao thief, Cao Gong, or prime minister?!

Anyway, you can't call Cao Cao the King of Wei!

This title, no one in Liu Bei Group from top to bottom will admit it.

After all, the political basis of Liu Bei's group is "Kuang Fu Han Family", with Guan Yu's special identity, if Cao Cao, the king with a different surname, is recognized, then the political foundation of Liu Bei's group will be a complete joke.

But it's called Cao Thief, the second master is a little unspeakable, it's called the prime minister, and now he is no longer the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but a chaotic minister and thief.

So. Guan Yu struggled for a long time, and decided to call Cao Cao "Cao Gong".

Anyway, the two have been separated for more than ten years, and the relationship has long been dark.

Guan Yu thought so, but when he sat down in the pavilion and saw Cao Cao's car arriving from a distance, he still had a very complicated emotion in his heart.

There is a saying that Zhang Xi is right, the favor has been returned, and the love is still there.

However, seeing Cao Cao's obviously arrogant frame scale and unauthorized use of the Son of Heaven's honor guard, Guan Yu still looked unhappy, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

And Zhang Xima was standing beside Guan Yu at this moment, faintly looking forward to Cao Cao's arrival.

It's not that Zhang Xi has any good feelings for Cao Cao, it's purely because. Of the three lords of the Three Kingdoms era, Zhang Xi has already seen two, and Zhang Xi has not seen this Prime Minister Cao Cheng.

No matter what later generations say about Cao Cao, in this era, Cao Cao is an unavoidable figure after all, and Zhang Xi also has a very strong curiosity about him.

But a little disappointed.

Zhang Xi didn't see a domineering king, only saw an old man with half-white hair and beard, wearing ordinary aristocratic clothes in this era, walking out of the car with a kind and kind face, and came to the pavilion under the guidance of Cao Ren.

Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao's arrival with squinted eyes, probably because he saw that Cao Cao was not wearing the crown of Wei, but instead dressed in regular clothes, his mood improved slightly, and he did not continue to sit, and got up rarely to greet this man of the times.

Before Guan Yu could speak, Cao Cao smiled first and said loudly, "Yun Changgong, don't come to harm?!" ”

The line is still the same line, but this tone is a little less yin and yang, and a little more sincere.

Well, probably because Guan Yu is standing in front of him now.

Guan Yu arched his hand slightly, and said according to the title he had in mind, "Gong Cao, how are you doing after a long absence?!" ”

The two masters said hello to each other, but the two escort Cao Ren couldn't wait to step forward now, grabbed Zhang Xi and threw him to the ground, preferably to death and pull down.

After this battle, I am afraid that my name of "slipping away too much" will be like Zhang He's "mountain climbing general", how will I behave after it spreads all over the world? !

Cao Ren didn't kill people now, which can be regarded as good self-cultivation.

Probably noticing Cao Ren's appearance of wanting to eat people, Cao Cao frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Zhang Xi, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Xi noticed the change in Cao Cao's eyes, and also noticed that with the change of Cao Cao's eyes, the whole person had a completely different temperament.

When he greeted Guan Yu at the beginning, Cao Cao was really like an old man next door who came out to see an old friend, and he was very approachable.

But in a blink of an eye, Cao Cao's eyes looked at Zhang Xi, and suddenly Zhang Xi felt what it meant to be "looking at the wolf" and what it meant to be "not angry and self-righteous".

That's right, this is the temperament that Boss Cao should have, the old man next door or something, it's too inconsistent with the temperament of this hero.

Zhang Xi not only didn't think Boss Cao's current appearance was scary, but looked relaxed, thinking that this should be what Boss Cao should be.

Cao Cao was also surprised by Zhang Xi's reaction. Nowadays, there are few young people who can still be comfortable when they are stared at by themselves, let alone those who can smile at themselves.

"Junior, there is no virtue in your mouth. Zixiao is a veteran general in the army, and he is also a good general of the time, how can you and other juniors insult him at will? ! Cao Cao said in a tone of lesson, while glaring at Zhang Xi.

Although I think Zhang Xi has good courage, I have to say it. Nowadays, young people don't even have basic respect?!

Even if you don't know how to respect, but you don't understand the truth of being a person and leaving a line, and seeing each other well in the future?!

As soon as Zhang Xi heard this, he knew that Cao Cao was here for Cao Ren and Zhang Heming, but what does this matter to me?!

Although Cao Ren's name of "Slippery Side Taishou" is my original, Zhang He's nickname of "Mountain Climbing General" is not. You fought poorly, and your reputation was not good, so it's no wonder that future generations arranged you.

Zhang Xi was immediately dissatisfied and wanted to say something. was preempted by Guan Yu.

"Cao Gong is here, is he trying to deal with juniors?!" Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes narrowed, and at the same time, he glanced at Cao Ren again, and said angrily, "On the battle array, each depends on means." Zhang Junyi lost to my third brother in Brazil, and in the past, some people pretended to be generals, but they lost to a junior, and finally fled in embarrassment. Isn't that unbelievable?! ”

Cao Ren felt that his lungs were about to explode, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat the thing in front of him, Cao Ren would definitely ask to fight Guan Yu alone.

It was Cao Cao, looking at Guan Yu, his momentum was put away again, and he said with a smile, "Yun Chang is not annoyed. Seeing each other today is a gathering of you and my old friends, not to mention the matter of the military formation, and not to disturb the Yaxing of you and me because of such small things. ”

Yes, Cao Cao said so, Cao Ren felt that he had better hold back his anger.

Today, Cao Cao came, not wearing a crown suit, just dressing normally, which itself shows the attitude of reminiscing, Cao Ren will not find himself bored to go against Cao Cao's ideas.

Zhang Xi stopped talking, and Guan Yu came forward to guide him, and the four of them sat down on both sides.

Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu, Guan Yu looked at Cao Cao, and both of them were full of emotion.

Zhang Xi looked at Cao Ren, and Cao Ren looked at Zhang Xi, who didn't like anyone.

"Yun Chang, it's been nearly twenty years since you and I parted, right?!" Cao Cao suddenly spoke and asked.

Guan Yu frowned slightly, calculated in his heart, and then said, "It's been a long time."

"When we were separated in the past, but I didn't expect to get together today, it's already like this!" Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu with a sigh, raised his wine glass, and said, "Say goodbye today, but I don't know when I will see you again. Yun Chang, please drink this cup to the fullest. ”

After speaking, Cao Cao drank it all first, while Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally drank it all.

Cao Ren and Zhang Xi are still staring at each other.

"I still remember the past when I was in Xudu, I got together with Yun Chang, every time I was happy, I thought of Yun Chang in the white horse alone and beheaded Yan Liang, every time I sighed, I thought of Yun Chang hanging the seal and sealing the gold and leaving, and I sighed every time. But I didn't think that now goodbye, Yun Chang has already possessed Xiangfan, and the world is unpredictable. Cao Cao continued to sigh, and by the way, he took another drink to himself.

Guan Yu was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Zhongkang's body, it has been restrained, and it will be returned to Cao Gong tomorrow." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, then was silent for a while before he smiled and said, "Yun Chang has a heart, I'm sorry, Yun Chang, I'm old, I'm old, I always like to think about some things in the past, and I chatter, but it makes the world laugh." ”

Guan Yu didn't laugh, because he knew that Cao Cao was also a human, not a simple symbol, but a human being, and he had a human side. Although such a person is very inconsistent with Cao Cao's personality, it is in line with the essence of human beings.

As for Cao Ren and Zhang Xi. The two were still glaring at each other.

Next, Cao Cao and Guan Yu continued to reminisce about the past, without mentioning the current confrontation between the two armies, only talking about some old things in the Xuchang period, and the two recalled the past, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

On the other hand, the two escorts around him did not mean to enliven the atmosphere at all today, and they were still glaring at each other, expressing their contempt and anger for each other.

Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help frowning, and said to Cao Ren, "Zixiao, you are an elder, you should be tolerant of people, why bother with a junior?!" ”

"Yu Wei." Cao Ren said instinctively, but when he looked up and saw Cao Cao's eyes, he swallowed the title and said, "Brother, it's not that the younger brother wants to deal with the junior, it's just this person. The words are too vicious, and the younger brother is now over fifty years old, if he bears such a reputation to live. How do you look up and see people?! ”

Cao Cao said dissatisfiedly, "Above the military array, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. If you lose in the military formation, then you will win it back in the military formation. Although you are over fifty years old, you are not a dying old man, you must know that the old man is in waiting, his ambition is thousands of miles, and the strong man is in his twilight years, and his ambition is not endless. If you accept your fate, it will be a shame. ”

Cao Ren bowed down to receive the order.

On the other side, Guan Yu also frowned slightly, and said to Zhang Xi, "Yuan Chang, even if this matter is not your fault, Ran Zixiao is also an elder, you should make a toast and apologize." ”

Guan Yu means, although Cao Ren's level is not good, he deserves this reputation, but people are always older than you, just because of his age, let's just reluctantly admit our mistakes.

Zhang Xi didn't care, he toasted Cao Ren with his wine glass, but Cao Ren was unhappy when he heard Guan Yu's meaning, what had become of him? !

Only rely on the old and sell the old mediocre people?!

Cao Ren wanted not to drink it, but. Forget it, today's occasion is not right, and when there is a chance in the future, we must seek justice on the battlefield.

After Cao Ren finished drinking, Cao Cao also nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Cao Cao turned his head to look at Zhang Xi, and was silent for a while before he said, "Liu Xuande, how can he be able to attract the world's heroes to yearn for Zhang Yuanchang, the old man heard that you are from Yingchuan, the people of Yingchuan, and the old man is willing to use it, but why did you abandon the old man and go to Liu Bei?!" ”

That's a question. It's hard to say.
