Pang Tong didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Although I am ugly, I have a good heart, and the general doesn't need to be suspicious." ”

Cao Hong couldn't help himself at this time, thinking that those fields and properties were all in the territory of Wei State, and there were generals to take care of them, and he couldn't take advantage of it, so he didn't want to be embarrassed here, so he got up and said, "I want to go back and sleep in the cage." ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand in disgust, and after Cao Hong left, he was puzzled: "This land deed and land are all in Qian County, we can't reach it, what use do you want him?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Although it is useless to stay here, it may be useful to send someone to the lord." ”

Zhang Fei advised: "By the way, ask about the recipe of almond tea." ”

Pang Tong immediately sent someone to report to Liu Qi, and Zhang Fei blocked the news of Anhui County, ordered the soldiers to change to the Wei army's armor banner, temporarily hold the troops, and wait for the opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

……

At this time, the war in Huainan had changed, Huang Gai took advantage of Liu Qi's absence in Shouchun, and the old generals of Jiangdong combined, privately sent troops to attack Cao Ren's camp, and Sima Yi's plan, defeated back to the city, Cao Ren led the troops to besiege Shouchun.

When the news reached Suiling, Cao Cao laughed, these Jiangdong veterans really disagreed with Liu Qi, so the generals must be at odds, and if Liu Qi was not careful, he might even die in a mutiny.

was holding a banquet with the generals to celebrate the achievement, and suddenly an urgent report came from Xuchang, Zhang Liao's troops were defeated and captured, Xuchang and Guandu were lost, and Jingzhou soldiers were attacking the Central Plains in two ways.

Cao Xiu and the others were all shocked, but Cao Cao paused slightly, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "Guan Yunchang is brave and victorious in China, I am afraid that General Zhang is really invincible, and the Central Plains is in danger." ”

Cao Cao gently put down his wine glass, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although Wenyuan's martial arts are slightly inferior to Yun Chang, he is better at commanding the army, and Zidan leads the Xianbei cavalry to support, and Xuchang is strong, and Ande is defeated quickly?" ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "Guan Yu is assisted by Zhuge Liang, this person is scheming, and it is inevitable that he will be calculated."

"Even if Wen Yuan is defeated, he will never be captured, this must be Liu Qi'er who saw that the war was unfavorable and deliberately spread rumors to disturb the hearts of our army!" Cao Cao smiled coldly, raised his glass and said, "Don't worry, everyone, continue to drink and feast!" ”

Seeing that the crowd would regain their morale, Cao Cao suddenly became full of poetry and was about to recite a poem, but he saw a person crying and entering, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Prime Minister, you have to be the master for me!" ”

"Zilin, what kind of system is it?" Cao Cao was just about to get up, but was interrupted by Xiahou Nan, and said angrily: "How do you teach you on weekdays, how can you be so out of shape?" ”

Xiahou Nan's eyes were red, and he wept and said: "Prime Minister, it's not good to ...... big thing."

"Presumptuous!" Cao Cao patted the case and shouted: "The lonely general Dinghuainan, what's the big deal?" For the general to be calm, so panicked and gaffe, how can he take on a big responsibility? In vain, you studied the art of war and practiced with the lonely experience, but there was no progress, how can this be reasonable! ”

Before Xiahou Nan could open his mouth, Cao Cao thought that he was here to ask for military expenses to build a chain, and waved his sleeves and said: "Exit the whole crown and come back." ”

Xiahou Nan had no choice but to retreat to the door, wiped his tears, tidied up his clothes, walked into the lobby early, hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

"Hehe, this is like my Xiahou son!" Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction, stroked his beard and looked around, and took the opportunity to teach everyone: "When you are in the army, no matter what news, remember not to mess with yourself, so that you can make decisions calmly!" Since the rebels fought against Dong Zhuo, in addition to Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, how many times have they turned defeat into victory, and they are not afraid of danger, the knife hangs above their heads and their hearts are like stopping water, and Mount Tai collapses in front of them without changing their faces, so that they can become great things! ”

"The prime minister is decisive, invincible, invincible, and invincible, and he is our model!" The crowd praised in unison.

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said to Xiahou Nan, who had a sad face: "What does Zilin have to tell you?" ”

Xiahou Nan took two steps forward and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister, Xuchang is lost!" ”

"Nonsense!" Cao Cao said angrily: "This is a rumor, and you can't tell the truth from the false? ”

Xiahou Mao stomped his feet and said: "This matter is true, Zhang Wei, the housekeeper in my house, has just fled to the army, and I saw with my own eyes that he was falsely accused by the old thief who was full of favors, and he was beaten all over his body......

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and he muttered, "Xuchang...... Really lost? ”

Cao Chun hugged his fists and said: "Prime Minister, it seems that the news of Xuchang is not a rumor. ”

Cao Cao was shocked, his eyes became a little hollow, he suddenly felt a splitting headache, his eyes were black, and he screamed and passed out.

The generals were shocked, and hurriedly sent the doctor for treatment, Xiahou Nan stood there in amazement, thinking that it was just my house slave being beaten, and he just wanted to vent his evil anger, why was the prime minister so angry?

After a while, Cao Cao woke up and cried: "Yun Chang, Yun Chang...... Yun Chang mistook me! ”

Cao Chunyan said: "Now that Xuchang is lost, the Central Plains is shaking, and I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable, so I will return to Yanzhou as soon as possible to preside over major events." ”

"If Lone goes at this time, the Huainan War will be wasted!" Cao Cao restrained his mind and said: "Liu Qi is in Huainan, and he is at odds with the Jiangdong generals, if he can be trapped and killed here, the situation can be reversed." ”

Cao Chun hurriedly said: "Now General Zhang is captured, Guan Yu is moving eastward, the Central Plains is terrified, who can stop his sharpness?" ”

Cao Cao said: "Quickly adjust the Yuan to return to Yanzhou, add the governor of Henan, command the generals, order Sima Yi as a military advisor, deploy the defense line, wait for the lonely Huainan, get rid of Liu Qi, and then go north to support." ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly reminded when he heard this: "Zhou Yu's intention is not clear, General Xiahou is guarding Mount Tai and is trying to take Qingzhou, how can he be transferred?" ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Zhou Gongjin is still on the way, at this time, you can't rashly send troops to Qingzhou, you can adjust Zang Ba to return to Mount Tai, just in case." ”

Cao Xiu said worriedly: "The Jiangdong Navy is heavily guarded, and the two armies are unable to hold each other today, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while." ”

"Help me up!" Cao Cao beat his spirits, got up and came to the case, pointed to the map and said: "Huang Gai's troops are frustrated, there will definitely be discord within Jiangdong, and there will be changes soon." Zilian soldiers entered the Lujiang River, there is no news so far, presumably everything is going well, just wait for the Lujiang soldiers to come out, Huainan is in chaos, Jiangdong people are different, Liu Qi'er died nine times. ”

"Prime Minister!" Cao Xiu suddenly realized, "The trouble of the world is only on Liu Qi today, and we are determined to destroy this thief." ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Chun to send an order, transfer Xiahou Dun and Sima Yi to rush back to the Central Plains, continue to inquire about the news of Xuchang, and send people to urge Cao Hong to send troops as soon as possible and settle Huainan as soon as possible.

Xiahou Nan stood stupidly at the foot of the hall, waiting for the generals to go and get busy, before he stepped forward to complain: "Prime Minister, that Man Boning came to my house to take people for no reason and tortured them, this is obviously not taking me seriously, this person is really ......."

Cao Cao knew that Man Chong was a cool official, and sometimes he was overkill, but at this time, he was upset and said unhappily: "Xuchang has been lost, and you are still chattering about this and other things?" ”

"That's not what the son-in-law meant!" Xiahou Nan hurriedly explained: "As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Manpet is so arrogant, if he doesn't give me face, that is, he doesn't give the prime minister face, how can he be spared?" ”

Cao Cao said angrily: "The country is in danger, and it is the time to employ people, you can't tell which is more important, domestic slaves and capable officials?" ”

"The son-in-law doesn't dare!" Xiahou Nan lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he would be a high-ranking official and dignitary if he made a meritorious career, which was awe-inspiring, but now he was bullied by a county order, and the face of the Cao family and the Xiahou family was not important?
