At the end of this day, Xi Yu and others harvested a large amount of prey.

Xi Yu ordered people to make a fire on the grass and put the prey on the fire for barbecue, and Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, who were generals, were very fond of this barbecue.

Xi Yu sat with Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others waiting, while Lu Lingqi leaned against a big tree, quietly and did not talk to anyone.

Not long after, Xiahoudun's brother Xiahou Lian came over, and this person was a general in the middle of Xiahoudun's army.

Xiahou Lian and his party also came to hunt today, they wanted to have a good time, but they never thought that Xi Yu and his party would also come here, Xiahou Lian originally left, but he felt that it was too embarrassing, so he stiffly flowed down.

After a day of hunting, the prey here was basically robbed by Xi Yu and others, and there was very little left, and only some rabbits were obtained.

When passing by, Xiahou Lian said, "After chasing the deer, I only hunted some young rabbits, how should I divide the dozen people in the clan?" ”

When passing by, Xiahou Lian said, "After chasing the deer, there are only two young rabbits, dozens of people from our clan, how should we share the food?" ”

Another person replied, "The people with foreign surnames actually entered the hunting ground, and the harvest is so rich, but this hunting ground is a place where clan relatives can enter, hey, it's really sad, it's a pity." ”

"It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to lose it, and it's okay if this young rabbit doesn't eat it."

Xiahou Lian was about to discard the two young rabbits, at this time, Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang happened to hear the conversation between Xiahou Lian and others, and Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang suddenly felt unhappy.

Dian Wei could also hear it clearly on the side, he was a violent temper again, and immediately said coldly, "I don't know which dog's dog is barking here!" It's a real noise! ”

"The hunting ground is so vast, hunting is based on their own ability, hehe, in the end only hit two young rabbits, I am afraid that I can't shoot eighty steps with a bow, but when I come again, I am greedy for other people's prey!"

"It's not impossible to want prey, wait until you come and kneel in front of the general, kowtow a few times, call your father-in-law twice, I can send you and other prey, how about it?"

"You rude man, who do you mean?"

Dian Wei laughed coldly, "Hehe, whoever is talking to me, who am I talking to?" ”

"Come and kowtow, my father-in-law will give you prey, come here."

After that, Dian Wei waved his hand at the two of them, what these two people said before, of course, Dian Wei could hear that he was deliberately referring to it, and he was clearly comparing the world to a hunting ground.

The intention is to imply that the drama is too much, so that the people of the clan can't tell the difference at all.

However, the meaning of these words is very vague, more annoying, not necessarily to provoke a fight, but he happened to meet a reckless man like Dian Wei, and there were only a few reckless people in the late Han Dynasty, and Dian Wei was one of them.

But if someone dares to say that the joke is not, he can't hear it, if he can hear it, he will definitely not let this person go.

"General!" Xiahou Lian immediately looked at Xi Yu, "I'm a general of Fenwei today, how can I be easily humiliated?" ”

"Joke, Lao Tzu is a dignified general! When Lao Tzu made military exploits in Jizhou, the Xiahou family was just guarding Yanjin! ”

For a while, Xiahou Lian and Dian Wei were very tense, and Dian Wei stood up even more, he was already as huge as an iron tower, so Xiahou Lian was immediately afraid.

After all, the generals beside Xi Yu are all fierce people.

"What you just said, is it what you think in your own hearts, or did someone deliberately teach you to say this?"

Xi Yu suddenly looked at Xiahou Lian and asked in a deep voice.

Huang Zhongli was not far away, and when he saw this, he immediately held the bow and arrow in his hand steadily.

Zhao Yun's eyes immediately showed a cold light, in this Huang family's hunting ground, if Zhao Yun and the others wanted to leave, even if there were another thousand eight hundred people, they would not be able to stop Xi Yu and Zhao Yun and the others.

Xiahou Lian just now was nothing more than a quick tongue, but now that the matter has come to this, if he leaves so gloomy, he will inevitably be punished when he returns.

Now in this situation, Xiahou Lian has to say something.

Otherwise, when the time comes, it will really be impossible to open his mouth, and it will be difficult to say it, and most of the elder brother Xiahoudun will scold him to death and let him go back to the Jizhou front.

In this way, since the words came to the present point, Xiahou Lian simply continued, "Of course, what I said just now is my heartfelt words, general, just now I just spoke quickly, and I should make amends and admit my mistakes, but there are some things that are unpleasant not to say. ”

Xi Yu immediately looked at Xiahou Lian.

This person has a rough figure, a flat face, relatively open and closed facial features, and a plump and wide forehead, which is indeed the appearance of a general.

Moreover, this Xiahou Lian's arms are slender and powerful, but his eyes are not very clear, and he is a little more cunning and lowly.

Xi Yu retracted his gaze from the distance of the hunting ground, and turned his head to look at the two generals of the Xiahou family in front of him who seemed to be complaining, but in fact they were arrogant with him.

"Hehe, tell me about it." Xi Yu sneered and said.

Xiahou Lian immediately hugged his fists and said, "A few years ago, in the eastern part of Jizhou, when we were in Qinghe County, our General Xiahoudun sent troops and horses to Qinghe to change the defense, so as to release General Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses, so that he could attack Hejian County. ”

"However, General Zhao not only drove away General Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses, but also seized the armor and grain and grass, and the lord already knew about it."

"I don't know what the general should do with this matter? In the following opinion, the lord must also be waiting for the general to report this matter, and the general should also know that General Xiahoudun is the brother of the lord. ”

"This incident has always been a pain in the heart of General Xiahoudun, who had not mentioned it before, and that was in order to ensure the victory of the Northern Expedition. However, in the eyes of our senior generals, this kind of armament and ordnance is by no means a trivial matter, and if we indulge in looting, it will inevitably affect the unity within our army. ”

Xiahou said honestly, and even glanced at Zhao Yun a few times, as if he wanted Zhao Yun to stand up and confront him.

Thinking of that time, his Xiahou Lian's soldiers and horses were pointed at by the Qingzhou soldiers and scolded his father and mother, which was very polite, and he Xiahou Lian and his own soldiers and horses suffered a great humiliation.

"General, there are still Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in Jizhou now, and this Jizhou is not yet completely stabilized," Xiahou Lian continued, "We still need to spend a lot of energy to drive away Yuan Shao's remnants, otherwise, Yuan Shao will never easily give up the land of Jizhou." ”

"If the general thinks about the unity of the soldiers and horses within the lord, he should inform the lord of this matter as soon as possible, and then return the corresponding armaments and materials."

"And that kind of thing?" Xi Yu then looked at Zhao Yun.

"There is no such thing, it is purely out of nothing!" Zhao Yun replied solemnly.

"General Zhao, you are also the commander of the First Army, An Neng is so open-mouthed, dare to do it but dare not be it?!" Xiahou Lian said with a cold face.

Zhao Yun glanced back at Xiahou Lian and said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, the person who came to ask for the land in the first place is named Jiang Qi. ”

"Yes, it's Jiang Qi!"

Zhao Yun then continued, "Hehe, so, that's right. ”

"The armament you said was snatched by Jiang Qi from Yuan's army, but after they came to Qinghe County, they were robbed by the bandits, we defeated the bandits in Qinghe County, and snatched the armaments back, this is the truth of the matter, why do you say that I, Zhao Yun, robbed Jiang Qi's armament?" Zhao Yun asked with a sneer.

"Isn't that right?!"

Xiahou Lian suddenly became anxious, and secretly hated in his heart: Okay, you Zhao Yun, the reason why you haven't reported it is because you haven't taken these armaments seriously at all?!

How is this different from bandits?!

didn't mention this matter at all, if it weren't for me Xiahou Lian asking today, I'm afraid that no one from now on would have mentioned this matter, and the previous armament would really not be able to come back.

However, the land of Xuzhou and Qingzhou is already very rich, and now there are nearly 70,000 more sets of armaments in the barracks!

In the eyes of Xiahou Lian and others, Xi Yu has so many reserve armaments, all of which are obtained by the people in the territory from mining.

Moreover, after the mining field is opened, a lot of gold and silver ore can be obtained, and Xi Yu is already very surplus in armaments, and the rest of the ore and other raw materials are naturally very much, how can he be poor and barren.

Under such circumstances, Xi Yu still refused to return the armament, and Xiahou Lian felt that this was really excessive.

At this time, Zhao Yun tilted his head, looked at Xiahou Lian, and said in a deep voice, "If I hadn't defeated the bandits?" Will you report to the lord that this armament was robbed by bandits? ”

"However, when we defeated the bandits and harvested these weapons from the bandits, we naturally reported this as capture."

"In our report to the lord last night, we made it very clear that these armaments have nothing to do with you now, so why do you still want to say that we have affected internal unity today?"

Dian Wei also said very disdainfully, "That's it!" I can't even beat the bandits, and I still have the face to run to our general to ask for armaments, and I don't feel ashamed! ”

"When this matter spreads, I feel not ashamed for your Xiahou family, I was robbed by the bandits, and I didn't attack the bandits to get back the armaments, but I came to slander us?!"

"Do you really think my family has a good temper?" Dian Wei glared and continued, "However, my family does have a good temper and is generally not angry, but once you get angry, the consequences will be serious. ”

"Therefore, I advise you to get out of the way while my adults are not angry, or else...... Once the adults are angry, there will be no good fruit to eat! ”

"You...... You guys!! ”

Xiahou Lian never thought that he would be scolded by Dian Wei, his face suddenly turned red, and the whole person was even more annoyed, but Dian Wei and Zhao Yun's words were not all unreasonable, and Xiahou Lian also understood that they were at their own expense in this matter.

At this time, Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, "At the beginning, if Jiang Qi's attitude was better, I could have given him the armament." ”

"But this person is talking nonsense, saying that Lord Shixi is just a retainer of the Cao family, and then saying that these weapons and soldiers will be returned to the Cao family and the Xiahou family sooner or later!"

"I'm thinking, could this Jiang Qi be the Cao family? Or did he recognize General Xiahou as his father-in-law? Serving General Xiahou night and night? ”

"Hehe, if it's convenient, please ask General Xiahou Lian to go back and help me ask."

Hearing these words, Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia immediately glanced at each other, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts: I never thought that Zhao Yun, a kid, had been by his side all these years, and he often quarreled with Dian Wei, and now his ability to argue with others is very unusual!

Zhao Yun was so harmful at this time, but he didn't have any dirty words, which made Xiahou Lian speechless.

Xiahou Lian and the Xiahou family generals on the side heard the words of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun just now, but they were speechless at this time, so they had to withdraw from the hunting ground.

But the faces of the group were all surprised and angry.

As a few people left the hunting ground, in less than half a day, the matter of the hunting ground reached Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun is a very honest person, and he is extremely strict in governing the army, so he is very strict with himself and never hides his property privately.

Therefore, this armament is like timely rain for Xiahoudun, and now it can at least solve the urgent need to expand the army, and the officers and soldiers under his command can also get military reserves to replenish.

If, at this time, he Xiahoudun could not meet the basic needs of the soldiers under his command, then there would naturally be a lot of discussion among the recruits, and even worse, it was likely that he would be resentful and no longer willing to work hard for him.

Xiahoudun knew very well in his heart: for the general, the most desired situation is nothing more than that the soldiers under his command are willing to fight to the death for him, so that the combat effectiveness of the army on the battlefield can be fierce.

"That's what Xi Yu really said??" Xiahoudun looked at Xiahoulian and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, big brother, we just met Xi Yu by chance in the hunting ground, out of courtesy, I wanted to come up and say hello to Xi Yu, who would have thought to ......"

"Hey, I knew it was like this, why should I cause these troubles, I didn't expect that the impression of the drama master on us was so unbearable, I thought that there had been nothing in the past few years, and we treated each other with courtesy, and the old grudges should have been resolved."

Xiahou Lian thought about it a little, added a little oil and vinegar to the situation at that time, and tampered with what Zhao Yun and Dian Wei said a little, so that after Xiahou Lian heard it, he suddenly became angry in his heart.

"It's just too much of a deception! It's just, why would you talk to Xi Yu about such things?! Xiahoudun wondered.

Xiahou Lian's face couldn't help but change suddenly, but such details were clearly seen by Xiahoudun.

"Tell me the truth, there must be no deception, although I am not good at strategy, but I am by no means a stupid person, what kind of person are you, how can I not know?"

As he spoke, Xiahoudun walked to the weapon rack and took down the pear blossom gun.

Suddenly, this pear blossom big gun, the cold light flashed, the edge was exposed, Xiahou was fierce, and the three armies were brave, and he was notoriously tough.

Whoever provokes him to anger cannot be dissuaded, not to mention that he is the main general, and his own majesty has already completely surpassed everyone in the previous years.

Xiahou Lian was suddenly afraid, and he, who was originally kneeling on one knee, immediately knelt in front of Xiahoudun on both knees, and said loudly, "Big brother! I'm not trying to be embarrassed! ”

"It's just that I met the drama master who shot down a lot of prey in the hunting ground, and even snatched the prey we were going to hunt, so that we only hit a few young rabbits in the end, this situation is too embarrassing."

"I suddenly thought that my eldest brother was pressed by this drama before, and our Xiahou family was also pressed by ...... drama and others, I was angry at the time, and I couldn't hold back for a while, so I "

"That's why it's so ......"

Xiahou Lian's face was suddenly uncomfortable but strong.

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't tell the truth again, once he was asked by Xiahoudun, he would be punished more heavily.

If he told the truth now, he wouldn't have been punished too severely.

"You, alas......"

Xiahoudun's face sank, and he waved his finger at Xiahou Lian, who was kneeling on the ground, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he was very sad and angry in his heart.

His soldiers and horses under Xiahou Dun have been with him for seven or eight years, and many people have become veterans from recruits, although Jiang Qi is not a core general, but he is also a veteran in the army, and he was bullied at that time, and it is really difficult to say the past.

"I already know about this, but you'd better not provoke Xi Yu and the others again, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to save your life!" Xiahoudun was very worried.

Hearing this, Xiahou Lian suddenly became frightened, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, that drama, don't you dare to kill me easily, right?" I'm also from the Xiahou family! ”

Xiahoudun sneered helplessly, "Why didn't Xi Yu dare to kill you?" Let me tell you, if you push too hard, then Xi Yu will even dare me, and in this world, this Xi Yu will only listen to one person. ”

Moreover, this is still the emotion that is piled up with affection, and he will listen to it.

Then, Xiahoudun left in a hurry, and after a short time, he walked out of the barracks, rode on a war horse, and went straight to Xuchang City, and came to the government office.

Now Cao Cao will handle affairs in the government office during the day and return to the prime minister's mansion at night.

Although the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the government office can handle affairs, Cao Cao will still come to the government office during the day, because it is larger than the imperial palace and close to the palace where the Son of Heaven lives.

Not long after, Xiahoudun walked up a hundred steps of stairs, and there were soldiers standing on both sides, until outside the main hall, there were soldiers guarding, and after someone reported it, Xiahoudun knew that Cao Cao was carefully reading the books of various states and counties sent by Xi Yu.

Xiahoudun had no choice but to wait outside to pass him in from the inside.

After waiting for some time, someone brought Xiahoudun in.

"Mengde."

In Cao Cao's military camp, Xiahou Tang had saved Cao Cao's life and was the leading general among his clansmen, so he was already a very important figure around Cao Cao.

Over the years, he has had a close relationship with Cao Cao, and he has always called Cao Cao Mengde, and the two are like relatives.

Cao Cao had long been accustomed to Xiahoudun calling him like that.

"Yuan Rang, what are you doing here?" Cao Cao asked.

"There are indeed extremely important confidential matters, and I have to discuss them with you in detail."

"Oh, Wenruo." Cao Cao then looked at Xun Yu.

"Whoa!"

Xun Yu immediately glanced at Xiahoudun, and then called all the people on both sides of the room out, and then he walked out of the main hall and closed the door.

In this way, in the main hall, only Xiahoudun and Cao Cao were left.

But Cao Cao still carefully looked at the book sent by Xi Yu at this time, was familiar with the map sent by Xi Yu, and understood the cultural situation of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

Cao Cao has always been happy about this matter and has never stopped.

"It's just me at the moment, you have something to do, but it doesn't matter, I'll listen."

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
