Zhang Min, who did not believe in evil and did not put the imperial army in his eyes at all, after climbing the city wall and seeing the array of the Xiyuan army, his face gradually turned a little purple.

"This is the elite of the imperial army?" He asked Cao Ren with a slightly uneasy expression.

Cao Ren was a little amused in his heart, didn't he be ashamed to say anything, and even wanted to go for a while?

Why are you still reserved at the moment?

He tried his best to make himself serious and his face was heavy, nodded and said, "This is the West Garden Army that chased me here!" ”

"Brother Zixiao should know them well, right?" Zhang Min didn't mention the words of the city meeting for a while, and asked instead.

Cao Ren bowed, "Probably like my left hand understands my right hand!" ”

"Then this leading general, what are their drawbacks, Brother Zixiao should also know very well?" Zhang Min asked with a slightly excited expression.

Cao Ren basically heard what Zhang Min meant, and almost couldn't help but want to laugh.

Coughing lightly, he stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about the generals who lead the army first, the person outside the city is Zhang Ji, who was once a general under Dong Zhuo's account, and after surrendering to the imperial court, he has made many military exploits. In the battle of Liangzhou, this person's merit was second only to Xiahou Yuan, and he once used a huge Jingguan to frighten the Jincheng defenders out of the city and surrender. ”

"As for their evils, they are not good at attacking cities, and they are not good at defending them. The West Park Army is a sharp blade that takes the initiative to attack as soon as it is sheathed, and I have not seen any real opponents in their field battles so far. But the defense and siege, it was bad. The imperial court was also reluctant to use them to attack the city, and the things on each soldier could buy a two-entry mansion in today's Kyoto. ”

Zhang Min was taken aback, "The house in Kyoto is so expensive now?" ”

“…… It's expensive. Cao Ren smiled politely.

He seemed to be playing the harp to a cow.

Zhang Min muttered, "It's hard to imagine that a second-entrance courtyard in Kyoto is so expensive!" ”

The value of those things on the soldiers of the West Park Army, he swept over at a glance, and he could roughly guess seven, seven, eight, eight.

Good war horses, iron-clad blades, but they are all very valuable things.

Cao Ren: ......

Zhang Min's attention to this matter was far greater than the war, which Cao Ren did not expect at all.

"Indeed...... Quite expensive. He was not in a hurry, and said lightly following Zhang Min's words.

In the past two years, the imperial court has done countless major events one after another, especially the reconstruction of Taixue, the opening of the big examination and the trade of trade, which made the land price in Kyoto skyrocket all of a sudden. Nowadays, even the Sunset Pavilion is now a small town, let alone Kyoto.

Although the imperial court's war with foreign countries has never stopped, Guanzhong has maintained peace in the past two years.

Now even the bandits are about to be cleaned up by Zhang Xiong's ruthless man.

"This battle, Brother Zixiao will see how to fight?" Zhang Min seemed to finally remember that there was still a battle in front of him.

Cao Ren was a little reserved, and said politely: "I am now under the fence, and I will fight this battle as I am told by Brother Zhang." However, I suggest that you quickly send someone to ask for help from Tao Envoy, and at the same time defend the city, and do not take the initiative to attack. When I fled south, I didn't see any foot soldiers going south, so I should have gone to Benli City. ”

"And the soldiers and horses all the way, maybe just to chase and kill me, Liu Bei took the initiative to meet the enemy, and he was defeated."

Zhang Min was a little surprised, "Zixiao is too realistic." ”

Cao Ren smiled and didn't speak.

If I am not truthful, how can I deceive your trust?

Zhang Min almost did not hesitate to use Cao Ren's suggestion, and after arranging for soldiers and horses to defend the city, he ignored Zhang Ji's greeting of his ancestors outside the city, and directly turned back to the government office, inviting Cao Ren to continue drinking and dancing.

This style made Cao Ren almost depressed.

He felt a little sorry for his trick, which was a waste of money for such a thing.

"Brother Zhang, the soldiers are guarding the palace, but we are drinking and having fun here, I'm afraid it will damage the morale of the army?" Cao Ren couldn't help but say.

Zhang Min was holding a Lingyou in his arms, and he was playing seriously, and when he heard the words, he said indifferently: "Brother Zixiao, don't worry, we are here to drink and have fun, and the hearts of the soldiers will be determined, and there will be nothing damaging to the morale of the army." When the enemy army attacks the city, we will go up to the city wall and command the battle. ”

"Come on, come on, don't think about it so much, drink. Or do you want my sister to drink with you? ”

Cao Ren: ......

Looking at Zhang Min's profligate appearance, Cao Ren really felt pity for his deception.

Moreover, he even came in person.

The two drank for a while, and Cao Ren left under the pretext of leaving, ready to explain to his subordinates, seize the city tonight, and cut off Zhang Min's dog's head.

As soon as he walked to the second courtyard in front, he suddenly bumped into a servant head-on.

The courtyard was quite spacious, but the servant seemed to be blind and ran straight into Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was just about to scold, when he suddenly felt as if something was stuffed in his hand.

Before he could speak, the servant had already accused himself of sin and quickly left.

Cao Ren pinched the thing in his hand, which seemed to be a piece of paper.

He realized that there might be some news, so he didn't say anything, and turned around and walked into the latrine, which was opened.

"Zhang Min intercepted and killed Song, save his life!"

Seeing the contents of the note, Cao Ren gasped.

It turned out to be Zhang Min, the interceptor, who killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song.

With a strong killing intent in his eyes, he was just about to tear up the note and throw it into the latrine, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it into his mouth again.

After tidying up his demeanor and calming down a little, Cao Ren left the latrine.

Then he found Feng Huan and clearly ordered Feng Huan to take people to the city to help the Xuzhou army defend Fu Yang.

Secretly, he explained that he attacked the camp at night, and he should work together to take Fu Yang.

On the way back, Cao Ren remembered the previous servant again.

If nothing else, it should be the person of Yuntai Zhenfusi!

This is the most likely possibility that Cao Ren thinks, and Cao Cao's methods are unlikely to be so meticulous.

When Cao Ren finished all this and went back again, Zhang Min was already a little drunk.

"Brother Zixiao, what are you doing?" Zhang Min leaned on the Lingyou, who had a very strong family background, and looked at Cao Ren in a daze, "Do you want to be unfavorable to me?" ”

As soon as his words fell, dozens of armorers armed with sharp blades instantly poured out of the door.

This made Cao Ren's heart feel much more down-to-earth all of a sudden.

"I just forgot to order my subordinates to go to the city to guard, if there is no order from me, even if the battle has already started, I am afraid that they will still watch the excitement in the city. It inevitably caused unnecessary misunderstandings, so I confessed. Cao Ren said.

Zhang Minmi's eyes widened and he smiled drunkly, "Does Brother Zixiao look down on me?" ”

"Why did Brother Zhang say this?" Cao Ren asked in surprise.

Zhang Min's attitude at the moment was similar to the two of them before, which made him suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but start to suspect that all of Zhang Min's previous actions were pretended, just to deliberately paralyze him.

"If you don't look down on me, why does Brother Zixiao refuse my sister's kindness again and again? The women are ready to get married, but your big husband pushes and pushes him, taking care of him left and right. Do you really want to, or do you ...... Something else? Zhang Min shouted, and his face suddenly filled with fierceness.

Cao Ren: ???

At this moment, Cao Ren really has a swear word, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

But he quickly calmed down.

Zhang Min's behavior at the moment undoubtedly proves that in fact, this guy with his own fierce appearance did not trust him from the beginning. His so-called sister is not necessarily true, but using this woman to test him must be true.

"I'm just worried that I'll let down my beloved, if Brother Zhang insists on marrying Ling Mei to me, I have no reason to refuse!" Cao Ren said.

It's just a woman, what's unacceptable!

"Good!" Zhang Min laughed, "I really didn't misunderstand Brother Zixiao, Brother Zixiao can be so affectionate and righteous to Cao Cao, how can he be a person who disappoints his allies." Don't say much, later Brother Zixiao and my sister-in-law will marry, and I will go to war! ”

"In Fu Yang, how can it be Brother Zixiao's turn to fight, won't it make the world laugh at me?"

This sentence made Cao Ren instantly affirm his judgment.

Zhang Min really didn't trust him, and he was using that woman to test him.

But what he was a little puzzled about was that he could be tested by using a woman to test him.

This actually seems to be giving him a favor, right?

Even if it was Zhang Min's own sister, it didn't seem to be necessary.

He couldn't figure it out, he was puzzled!

"The matter of getting married, do not delay the war." Cao Ren arched his hand and said: "Fang is my abruptness, I shouldn't have made an initiative to order the soldiers to go to the city to help defend it, and then Brother Zhang has something to order." ”

Zhang Min waved his hand to repel the armor soldiers who rushed in, and said with a smile, "I love to hear this!" ”

"I'm a little nervous when the soldiers outside the city are raging, haha. My sister is cowardly by nature, and I ask my filial brother to treat her kindly. ”

Cao Ren had no choice but to nod his head and agree.

The last time I encountered such a ridiculous thing was when he was a teenager.

At that time, his behavior was not good.

Once, he saved a luxury family from a bandit, but because of his bad reputation in the local area, the man thought he was robbing. Cao Ren didn't say much nonsense, and grabbed it.

Zhang Min personally took Cao Ren to the courtyard that had been prepared a long time ago, and after a simple sacrifice, he went directly to the cave room.

This marriage was married, until he sat on the edge of the couch with the girl and looked at each other, Cao Ren's mind had not yet sobered up.

Made, I can't figure it out at all!

After leaving, Zhang Min ordered someone to guard Cao Ren's newlywed courtyard, and hurried to the city wall.

Where is there still half a point of drunkenness, and the whole person is as if he has not drunk at all.

"Sir, can the enemy forces outside the city move?" After Zhang Min went to the city, he asked a Confucian scholar in a green shirt.

The man in the green shirt, with a white face and a beard and an elegant temperament, turned around and said, "Zhang Jixu is tired of scolding, and he has set up camp outside the city. However, this thief was cunning, and he set up the camp just two arrows away, which was a deliberate attempt to lure our army out of the city, and the general was not allowed to move without permission. ”

"It's okay, I'm not that impulsive!" 张闿说道。

"General, is Cao Renke settled?" The blue-shirted Confucian asked.

Zhang Min sneered, "At the beginning, I didn't agree, but I was coerced by me, so I obediently complied, and now I have a cave house, Mr. rest assured." ”

"Well, Cao Ren was trusted by the emperor when he was in the imperial court, and now he is Cao Cao's right-hand man. If the war is not too urgent, the general can test Cao Ren's preferences, high-ranking officials and golden beauties, as long as he likes it, we can find a way for him. The blue-shirted Confucian said.

"But what if he takes something and refuses to do it?" Zhang Min asked.

The green-shirted Confucian sneered, "It's all done like that, if he still refuses to serve, then he can only kill." ”
