"Yes, this time thanks to Brother Berwen."

Thinking of all the things in Wancheng today, Cao Chun still has palpitations.

Nearly, he died.

If Dian Wei hadn't been there, he would have been hacked to death by Zhang Xiu's pursuers and thrown into the crowd.

"Alas......"

Speaking of the reason, several people were a little at a loss.

"This time I was saved, in fact, it was the eldest brother's life," Cao Chun smiled bitterly, "When I begged him, I was still unwilling, and finally persuaded him many times to move the old lady out, so that I was willing to take the tiger and leopard to ride on the side, so as to make sure that everything was perfect." ”

"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to be saved, Zhang Xiu's 10,000 soldiers and horses in Dongying are not ordinary people."

"These are all tiger and wolf people who have followed Zhang Ji for many years in Liangzhou, if it weren't for the raid by the tiger and leopard horse, I'm afraid they would have arrived at the main gate of Wancheng, if so, ......"

Dian Wei and Cao Ang all fell silent.

If that's the case, it's really impossible to escape.

The enemy troops in front of him are still good to say, the enemy troops on both sides are coming, once they form an encirclement momentum, they can engulf him in an instant, how can one person block the tragic and heroic act of Zhang Xiu's pursuers.

"Uncle Zihe, at this moment, we should quickly inform my father of our whereabouts here, so that he must not be in a hurry, if he returns to the camp at this time, he will definitely stabilize his position, gather the soldiers and horses again, and then slowly retreat to Xudu."

"We can go back to Anding County first and wait."

Cao Ang had already calmed down at this time, although he had lost a lot of people in Wancheng, but fortunately, the key figures such as the general school had not been damaged too much.

The soldiers and horses are not yet defeated.

Especially when he was rescued by the forbidden place in the end, it was the most thrilling.

On the contrary, he killed Hu Che'er and other well-known generals under Zhang Xiu's camp, and this record will give Zhang Xiu another head-on blow, even if he can still hold the city, his morale will never be high.

At this time, Cao Ang understood what Xu Zhen had taught at the beginning, and he had a long-term vision.

There is also what Kong Ming once said, not suffering from Zhang Xiu's resistance, but suffering from its recurrence.

After figuring it out, many things also surfaced, and Cao Ang smiled bitterly, "Zhang Xiu's position can almost swim in three directions, and his real value is not who he kills or who he votes for." ”

"It's about the soldiers and horses under your command."

"Even if his own department has lost a lot of people, there are still more than 10,000 people who can follow loyally, and they will not be separated from each other, otherwise these Liangzhou people will be struggling in the Central Plains," Cao Ang analyzed the matter, making Cao Chun and other generals in the camp nod constantly.

Then it suddenly dawned on him that it was this kind of truth, Zhang Xiucai was able to have a lot of choices under consideration, no matter which path he chose, he could continue to talk.

"The strategist in Zhang Xiu's army, we caught it when we attacked the camp, and we were in the camp tent at this time, and I don't know how to place it."

Cao Chun waited for Cao Ang to finish saying this, and immediately spoke.

"Jia Xu, right?"

Cao Ang's eyes were slightly downcast, revealing a contemplative look, and said: "Zhang Xiu probably knew that his aunt was taken away that night, but he could hold back. ”

"In the city today, Zhang Xiu's eyes are furious, bloodshot all over, and he almost wants to fight with us, which shows that his revenge must be because of this matter."

"It must have been admonished by someone around him, indicating that this Jia Wenhe made a lot of layout arrangements from it, and almost let all of us die in Wancheng."

"Kill it!"

Dian Wei said angrily, at this time, the fierce face was full of impatience, it was calculated by this old bastard, it is estimated that Zhang Xiu is willing to make up his mind to revenge, so as to join forces with Youke and Liu Biao.

I almost can't go back to see the prince.

An old bastard.

Cao Ang immediately shook his head bitterly and said, "If I remember correctly, he still owes Brother Bowen a life, and now there are grievances in this Wan City, so it is better to bring it back and let the brother decide." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Cao Chun nodded immediately, then got up and hugged his fist at Cao Ang, and said, "Zixu, I'll go find where the eldest brother is, and tell me about the advance here." ”

"Good!"

After this battle, it is obvious that people have grown a lot, and they are more decisive in thinking about things, and they will not ask the elders in advance as before, but understand the truth of what should be done.

Here he is the eldest son of Cao Cao, so he should make up his strategy and take responsibility, and not let the people under his command follow and suffer and die.

Today, Cao Ang should be more cautious, not only in marching and fighting, but also in dealing with people and things, and recognizing people and observing the situation, he should be extremely cautious.

And this is not a matter of timidity, but of prudence in words and deeds.

It shouldn't be like my father.

Cao Ang still remembered that Brother Bowen once secretly praised that his father's temperament was called ...... Romanticism?!

It's very chic and arbitrary, like an old wine.

But it's often also a double-edged sword.

"Dian Wei, let's go back to Xudu first, and then my father's army will definitely retreat slowly, as for Zhang Xiu, let's talk about it later......"

"If you can make Jia Xu surrender after you go back, let him persuade Zhang Xiu, maybe you can surrender the army without a fight, this is the best strategy, but you can't fight it again."

"Why?" Dian Wei asked with a glare, he wanted to know a reason.

Cao Ang said calmly: "Because Liu Biao will make a move, he didn't make a move before, but he wanted to sit and watch the tiger fight, and now he has lost both, if he continues to fight, Liu Biao will definitely cut off my back road and chase and kill my father again." ”

"Yes, we must not fight again, my father must be able to understand this situation, we need to go back to recuperate and recuperate, and then make a trip to the south."

"Eh, got it!" Dian Wei sighed, but he was still angry in his heart.

I almost died here.

is really angry, if he has the opportunity to come again, he will personally behead Zhang Xiu under the horse.

……

It was noon that day.

When Cao Cao woke up from his sleep, the generals of the Qingzhou soldiers immediately went to the main tent, met Cao Cao, and explained to him that when the news of the riot came from the camp at that time, Yu Ban discarded a large amount of baggage regardless of opposition, and ordered the light cavalry and the whole battalion of foot soldiers to go to Wancheng with all their might.

As a result, they lost their belongings, and they lost food along the way, and they were discarded in the middle of the road.

Now that Yu Ban has just returned, the food in the camp is gone, and the armor and baggage are all temporarily collected by other camps, so it is difficult to divide them.

They immediately came to ask Cao Cao for advice, whether to withdraw the army immediately and return to the territory of Yuzhou to divide again, or to discuss the crime of the forbidden soldiers and horses in advance.

After all, if it weren't for them now, they would have already started the return trip.

These generals and colonels in the Qingzhou soldiers are actually angry when they come to sue like this.

They didn't get a military order, but Yu Ban couldn't call the Qingzhou soldiers and horses.

Since the establishment of this army, it has only listened to the orders of two people, Xu Zhen.

Or Cao Cao.

The priority is naturally Cao Cao, after all, he is the one who really subdued the Qingzhou soldiers, and the original millions of Qingxu thieves and their homeless population were all placed by Cao Cao domineeringly.

As for Xu Zhen, he is completely grateful for his military strategy back then, which allowed millions of homeless people to have a bite to eat, and at the same time admired Xu Zhen's strict self-discipline.

Of course, Yu Ban couldn't shout, but in a hurry, Yu Ban directly asked the soldiers and horses to charge the camp and attack these Qingzhou soldiers, and after beating a few thorns, he mobilized the whole army and let them move together.

And he rushed as soon as possible, and didn't want any baggage.

As soon as he left, these Qingzhou soldiers immediately divided up their grain and grass, and then came to sue first.

Qingzhou soldiers are thieves, and they have become more and more cunning over the years, and they can still make the enemy feel a headache on the battlefield, and they are even more thorns in the army.

They estimated that only Cao Ren and Xiahoudun's soldiers did not dare to provoke, and the favorite to provoke was Cao Hong's soldiers, who could often make him angry like thunder.

And Cao Chun, almost all the tigers and leopards under his command are the elites selected by the Qingzhou soldiers here, and they have always been their own family, not to harm them, but to be proud.

On weekdays, Cao Cao has always spoiled this army of soldiers and horses, after all, they make trouble on weekdays, and when they really go to the battlefield, they are not afraid of death, and they have nothing to say.

But this time, Cao Cao just smiled, and then subconsciously shouted: "Ziyu-"

"Tsk...... Zi Xuan. ”

Cao Cao sat up, and let out a long sigh after his speech, at this time his mind gradually cleared up from his confusion, and after thinking about it, he understood various reasons, and said: "The general has all the grain, grass and baggage in the forbidden army, and ordered it to be the rear army, and ambushed along the way." ”

"Ordered Cheng Yu to lead the rear army to the front army, open the road first, wait for lunch, bury all the stove pits, and then cross the river and leave, destroy the bridge of the water, and leave it to Liu Biao to rebuild."

"My lord, then this matter ......"

A few generals still want to ask.

Cao Cao immediately showed a kind smile, "It's over." ”

This smile made several people feel cold in their hearts, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they hurriedly withdrew from the military tent.

After a while, Cheng Yu sent someone to report first, but did not find the corpses of Dian Wei and the eldest prince, and Wancheng closed the city gate and found no news.

And General Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry directly raided Zhang Xiu's Dongda camp at that time, and evacuated to the mountains after burning grain and grass, looting, and fighting for a long time.

According to the distance, you can follow the mountain trail all the way to Anding County in the north of Nanyang County, and then return to Yuzhou.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

I'm afraid I can't find it, now it's best to cross the water first, go to Anding County to meet Zihe, and return to Xudu as soon as possible, lest this news spread and let the Xudu clan know, and cause trouble again.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, now it was a last resort, and in addition to being sad, he was also worried about Bowen.

How confident and chic he was when he first came out, and how embarrassed he is now.

What was the situation that day......

At this time, there was no one in the military tent, and Cao Cao, who had always shown himself to be tough and domineering, also covered his face with his hands.

Hundreds of people in Zhang Xiucheng were chasing, and Dian Wei and Zi Wei were killed in the end, and only a few dozen people remained, so I am afraid that they really can't leave.

Don't leave anything to chance.

In fact, in order to soothe the guilt in his heart, Cao Cao had already sent the knighted recital to Xudu, so that Dian Wei could be crowned marquis, and after returning to Xu Du, he would mourn Dian Wei and posthumously be crowned.

If there was no marquis, the nickname could not be added, and Cao Cao was even ready to use "loyalty" to interpret Dian Wei's life.

But several times I was ready to take it back halfway, but it was troubled for a long time.

"Ordered Cheng Yu to march, let's go back to Xudu."

Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief, got up to clean up his mood, and told the guards on the left and right that the army would make lunch and prepare to march away after a quick full-stomach.

After going back, those who have made meritorious contributions this time should be rewarded, and those who have been compromised should be compensated, and they will have to recuperate for a long time, and there will still be setbacks in the end if they lose the battle.

I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to restore the vitality and strength of the army, and it is just right to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the internal affairs in Xu Du.

……

Seven days later.

In the imperial city of Xudu, on the outskirts of the imperial city, Xu Zhen established the camp of Jin Wuwei, which was close to the armory in the imperial city, and re-established the place to handle official business.

And in the army, elite people were selected, with excellent conduct, and the younger people came to Jinwuwei because of the young volunteers of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan, and they all enthusiastically came to vote, wanting to enter the Jinwu.

Among the many young talents, Xu Zhen selected a person who was good at sword dancing and skilled in melee martial arts, named Xia Houen, who was the deputy of Jinwu in front of the emperor and commanded 500 guards.

The number of people can be compared to the Qu military marquis, and it is not prominent, but the people who guard are completely different, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Zhi Jinwu can almost take the lead in selecting armaments and honor guard horses.

Armor, weapons, and even war horses must be selected with good appearance and meticulous manufacturing, so the oil and water are still very large.

It was someone from Xiahou's family who was elected as a deputy, and Xiahoudun also had face on his face, and across Chen Liu, he wrote a letter to Xu Zhen on the bank of the Puyang River to express his gratitude.

He has always liked Xu Zhen very much, and he still owes Xu Zhen a favor in this life, plus the two are the same kind of people.

They don't keep their own belongings.

Hence the appreciation.

Tonight, the camp was surprisingly quiet.

The guards on duty patrolled the imperial city, and Xu Chu led the team, so he left early.

The rest of the guards were all watching nearby, such as Wang Meng, Qi Yue, Xu Ding and others, all of whom led troops to garrison outside the main tent, and at the same time told idlers not to enter.

Xinding was not allowed to explore at will, and the entire camp was almost stationed, except for one person on the school field, who was escorted to run in circles in a spacious area.

And in the gorgeous tent paved on the red carpet, Xu Zhen and Zhuge Liang were looking at the people below.

It was very quiet for a while, with hardly anyone talking.

Dian Wei stood in front of you, his head bowed like a child who had done something wrong, his hands in front of him, and his broad shoulders slightly tucked.

Xu Chu didn't see this scene, otherwise he would have to show a sincere smile next to him and keep staring at Dian Wei.

At this moment, Dian Wei was standing restlessly, and he always felt that his heart was hanging, as if he was falling into a bottomless hole, and he didn't know when he would land.

Maybe the prince landed as soon as he opened his mouth.

But he just didn't open his mouth, and kept holding a spring and autumn book to read, as if it was very attractive, but it was impossible to read the book at this time.

Isn't this deliberately embarrassing!

Your love is coming back, why don't you come over and hug each other tightly?!

If it's not good, you should throw away your shoes and run to greet them.

Why are you still pretending to be reading?

But Xu Zhen didn't speak, no one dared to take the lead in speaking, Zhuge Liang was checking official affairs and watching the recent handling information of government officials to learn.

So the scene froze.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Zhen finished reading the last word of Spring and Autumn.

Think about it for a while.

A pleasant prompt sounded in my ears.

[You have read "Spring and Autumn" sixty times, and you can see its meaning, self-discipline +200, and additional bonus intelligence +2]

[Intelligence: 90]

At this moment, Xu Zhendeng felt that his mood was clear, and his thinking was suddenly broadened!

"Ninety is a watershed."

He said secretly in his heart.

At this time, when he read the books again, Xu Zhen felt that every word was clearer in his mind, and his thoughts were unimpeded.

For more than a month, I brushed my life during the day and read the Spring and Autumn Period at night, this book, which basically explained the truth with historical stories, was rewritten by Confucius, and actually implied more philosophy.

The ability of any attribute, once it reaches ninety, is manifested as "different from ordinary people".

Xu Zhen can already feel it very clearly.

Because now, he just has one more ability that is "different from ordinary people".

When the force was ninety before, it also had the same strength and strength that was "different from ordinary people".

"Haha! Awe! It's good to be back! ”

Xu Zhen was in a good mood at this time, and immediately slapped the table and got up.

Dian Wei directly slammed his fist, almost fell to the ground, and said in great panic: "I was wrong!" Prince!! ”
