"Since my brother likes to see Cao Jun's affection, why don't you go to Cao Cao? Although he is still young, his brother can be promoted from Xuzhou first, and then slowly promoted, and he will inevitably have a place in the future. ”

The two brothers of the Zhuge clan are very young now, but because of the war, they already have a good understanding of the world, and their families have migrated, the road is difficult and dangerous, they have seen through the warmth and coldness of people, and know how far the war has reached in the late Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang is even more young and old, and when they talk, they are basically the same as those who are twenty and crowned.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment.

Cai said: "Cao Cao is a domineering road in his heart, but the means of benevolence and righteousness are really unpredictable, and I don't go to Cao Di because I can't understand him." ”

"Under the command of the Cao family, there are already several ministers, and there is no place for the Zhuge clan for a long time, and the three heroes of the Xun clan have firmly occupied the main position, if they want to go again in the future, they must be twenty years later."

"At that time, the general trend of the world will change again, and I have to wait."

Zhuge Liang said suddenly, he was young and knew very well in his heart that now was not the best time to go to Xudu, and their Zhuge clan had lost the background of the connections.

This year is not the same as before.

Cao Cao's meritocracy must have come at a price.

For example, he said that whoever is talented is talented.

That means that the people who are promoted must be people from the Cao family, and they will be attached to a group, and if people with foreign surnames want to be promoted in the future, they must bow to the Cao family.

This is a hidden doorway, and the Zhuge family can see it through, so they still prefer to put their eggs in different baskets, in order to survive better in this troubled world.

Troubled times, for all the people of the Han Dynasty, are a huge sieve, and it has been the case since ancient times.

"Wait, and pay more attention to the northern occupation, if the battle between Cao and Yuan comes to an end, sooner or later it will be a matter for them to go south."

At that time, I was in the prime of my life, and I would wait for my master.

……

Xu Du.

Cao Cao's army went north and returned, and after arranging the deployment of soldiers and horses in Wancheng, he took Zhang Xiu's 20,000 soldiers, all of whom were old generals of the Han Dynasty and originally belonged to Zhang Ji.

Most of them were brought from Xiliang, and they were good at cavalry warfare, and they were all around thirty years old.

Experienced, but not weak.

In addition, they have excellent armaments, know how to fight in battle, and it is very convenient for them to practice in the future, which many recruits do not have.

Cao Cao had just returned.

Xun Or has already taken Wenwu to greet each other ten miles away in front of the gate of Xudu.

Among them, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao, Liu Bei and others are all listed.

When they heard the battle report of Wancheng, their first reaction was that it was impossible.

Here, Xu Du was still investigating the news of the assassination, and he was still inquiring about Xun Xiao's situation in many ways, but he didn't expect that he had already gone to Wancheng to make meritorious contributions.

Several of Cao's generals were leisurely and complacent.

His eldest brother won such a chic and wanton victory in Wancheng, of course, it was worth blowing for several nights.

Now the whole army knows what happened in Wancheng.

Such a strategy is like a ghost, it is simply not a way that people can come up with, before Zhang Xiu surrendered, he had insight into Zhang Xiu's strategy of deception and surrender, and personally led it.

With the plan of wanting to capture and indulge, let Wancheng be completely annexed.

In this battle, even Liu Xie, the son of heaven, sat on the couch and was silent for a long time, unable to say a word for a quarter of an hour, and even looked dull and worried.

If a person who is truly loyal to the Han family sees his appearance, he must think of what he is worried about.

It was sorrow, such a wise and courageous person, who used his soldiers like a ghost, and had insight into people's hearts as if he had inhuman powers, how could he get the great man back from his hands.

And this person has always been very respectful to the Son of Heaven, but he is unconsciously in control of everything in the court.

Terrible.

Outside the city gate at this time, several groups of people had completely different thoughts, each with their own joys and sorrows, Liu Bei was more envious, and took two sworn brothers to watch from afar.

"Second brother, third brother, Cao Mengde's battle, the reputation is more than the defeat of Yuan Shu back then, more wonderful than the capture of Xuzhou, although Wancheng is a small land, but it is the important place of Nanyang, and Nanyang is the northern barrier of Jingzhou."

"Now that he has completely taken Wancheng, it is equivalent to stepping into Jingzhou early."

"Big brother, this battle is really beautiful, Cao Sikong deserves his name, I'm afraid that there will be no second one in the world," Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed softly.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, immediately turned around and peeked at Guan Yu with a side light, and said quickly: "What is this called?" I mean, it's unbelievable, how can it really be so beautiful! There must be something we don't know! ”

"How can you listen to the results of this battle with this number of wins and losses? It must have been retouched! ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped and persuaded with a smile, "Haha, eldest brother, the second brother is just complimenting at will, why are you in a hurry." ”

"Me, am I in a hurry?" Liu Bei blinked.

"No!? I'm in a hurry. ”

Guan Yu nodded blankly, "It's a little, it's a little anxious." ”

"No, no, no hurry."

"There's no hurry."

Liu Bei muttered a few words casually, and his mind calmed down, but what he said in a hurry just now could be regarded as a reminder to himself.

It's definitely not that simple, this battle is so hard that the book doesn't dare to write like this, why.

There is definitely something dangerous in the world that the world does not know.

While speaking, Cao Cao's carriage and horse had already arrived in front of Xun He's car, and Xun Or went directly to the door at this time and bowed down to greet him.

As soon as Cao Cao came out, he was stunned.

"Huh?!"

He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed unconsciously.

"What does Wen Ruo mean by this?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and glanced at the civil and military officials, this battle was too big.

I'm afraid that more than 100 officials came.

Even the generals of the army also came, and Jin Wuwei's guard of honor was still behind, and Cao Chun led Huang Feidian to wait under the city gate.

And then inward, it seems that there are people who are looking forward to it.

Is it worth the hype this time?

This Wen Ruo, who is on business on weekdays, and does not want to do things that hurt his life and money, why does he attach so much importance to it this time?

"Congratulations, my lord! Winning this battle, what you have done and what you have done in Wancheng are known to the people of Xu Du! These people, officials, lieutenants and lieutenants, have come of their own accord to admire your majesty. ”

"What!?"

Cao Cao's eyelids twitched suddenly, and his face twitched wildly.

I'm dripping mother!

All the people of the city know?

Still looking up at my majesty?!

Cao Cao felt that there was nothing more embarrassing than now!

"That's natural," Xun He also raised his head excitedly, his chest straightened, as if he was very proud, "I thought that a small Wancheng, the lord would take it when he went, and there was not much merit to boast about." ”

"But if you want to capture the plan of indulging in the past, and sacrifice yourself to forget about death, it really makes people sigh that the lord is worthy of being the male lord of the world, and he can even do such things, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being prosperous!"

"Okay, okay, Wen Ruo, don't boast." Cao Cao hurriedly waved his hand, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Good guys, it's all about it.

You keep a low profile and just pass the matter of Wancheng, and now Mrs. Zou is coming back with me!

My son Cao Ang knew everything about the time, and this boast was simply what was going on......

"How can you not boast?!" Xun He frowned suddenly, and glanced at Cao Cao a little strangely, "How can you not write about such a powerful thing?" This should be written into the history books to inspire the three armies and encourage the generals to learn from the lord! ”

"Hey, don't, don't ...... "Don't learn from me!"

You can't learn this special thing.

"The lord is a rare wonderful person in the past and present, and he can still do such a thing when he enters the city and surrenders!"

"You wait a minute!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and cold sweat came out, what you said gradually became outrageous, it couldn't be that Wen Bo told you something, you scold me here, right?!

"What did I do?"

Xun Or was stunned for a moment, and naturally blurted out: "Control people's hearts, play with Zhang Xiu and the palm." ”

Oh, I see.

I thought you knew I was playing with Zhang Xiu's aunt.

That's fine.

"Oh, Wen Ruo, just listen to me! There is no need to advocate it like this, just a Wancheng, there is no need to mention this matter, report to the Son of Heaven that Wancheng has won a great victory, and reward the soldiers and horses. ”

"Good, good!

”

Xun Or took a deep breath, his eyes were even more reverent, "The lord is not shocked by the victory or defeat, his mind is calm, he has won such a big victory, the whole territory is boiling and the center is not chaotic, he should be the male lord!" ”

"No, it's not ......"

Cao Cao jumped out of the car and grabbed him directly, then held his hand all the way forward, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is really not suitable for publicity, the Son of Heaven has just arrived in Xudu, this merit should be attributed to the Son of Heaven, and it shouldn't have much to do with me, I just did a little ...... Something that a big man would do! ”

I just made the mistake that men would make, why should I do this!

Cao Cao was roaring frantically in his heart, but he naturally couldn't say it, after all, this matter had been brought to this point by Xun Xiao.

I really thank you, Xun Xiao.

Xun Or was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, immediately paused and bowed, and said, "I understand, this is the work of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Oh, that's right."

Cao Cao patted him on the shoulder a few times.

"The mind of the lord is impressive."

"Hahaha, haha......"

Cao Cao laughed generously a few times, and then his lips squirmed, as if he was scolding someone.

……

"Ahh

On the outskirts of Xudu, a small lake where the tributaries of Yingshui merge.

Xun Xiao traveled in the mountains and rivers here, and at the same time communicated with Tao'er, and he had not received a single letter in the past few days because he went south to Wancheng to save Dian Wei.

As soon as I came back, I immediately received three or four letters, which seemed to have been written in one go.

It is full of thoughts, panic, and worries, and the interval is less than seven days, I am afraid that it is really anxious, and even the letter says that I dreamed of him.

Bloodied by the war, very worried.

Xun Xiao was writing a letter, and Jia Xu was sitting and watching.

The cloudy eyes glanced over from time to time, I don't know if it was a personality problem, he always felt that Xun Xiao would write bad things about himself in the letter.

"Prince, what is this writing?"

Jia Xu asked with a smile.

"Write a letter to my wife who has not been at home."

"Oh," Jia Xu suddenly felt comfortable.

"She's worried about me, and besides, do you believe in a heart?"

"I don't believe it." Jia Xu chuckled.

"Believe it, people, you have to believe in some mysterious things, otherwise it will be too boring. When I went to Wancheng, Tao'er seemed to be in a hurry, and immediately felt it, but I didn't mention it at all in my previous letter. ”

"Could it be that the letter was intercepted," Jia Xu's lips moved, and he had already begun to regret it, he knew that I couldn't afford this topic, and this kid didn't listen to me at all.

"Therefore, I will also reply to the third letter now, informing me of the matter of Wancheng, now the name of the lord has spread all over the north and south, the wonder of this battle is amazing, and it should be known to Jizhou."

"Alas, it's far away in Jizhou......" Jia Xu remembered that his wife and children were also still at Zhang Yang's place, if only they could be picked up for reunion, "The prince is so affectionate, it reminds me of my family, and I don't know how they are doing now." ”

"If Tao'er receives the letter, she can feel a little more at ease, at least she doesn't have to worry so much."

Jia Xu: "......"

Listen to me.

Or let me go.

I'm numb, what are you doing with me tied up!? Fishing with you?! You don't fish yourself, I make my mind heavy and miss my family.

You don't even talk to me!

You're full of evil!

Jia Xu was feeling uncomfortable when Dian Wei suddenly rushed over from the edge of the woods.

"Prince! I've finally caught it! ”

"Caught!"

Xun Xiao glanced up at Dian Wei, but he was a little surprised, and finally caught it?

"How big is the fish?"

"No, catch someone!"

Wang Er, who came with him, patted his chest and gasped, and said angrily.

"General Dian Wei has caught everything except fish, and today he actually caught someone, it's amazing."

Oh.

Xun Xiao sat down very quickly again.

You're a true old fisherman.

"Let's go and have a look."

Xun Xiao followed, followed Dian Wei's pace, and saw a person lying by the river halfway, choking on water and coughing at this time, with one hand on the ground, which was very difficult.

The man was dressed in a black robe, and his hair was completely soaked, covering half of his face.

Xun Xiao walked closer and took a look, and then asked, "What's wrong with the fellow, did you meet a bandit?" ”

The man coughed a few times in succession, then looked around, saw Dian Wei's strong body, thought about it, and didn't say anything.

He said quietly: "Running for your life and going down the river is a good way out." ”

"I almost died underwater tied up with a fishing line."

Dian Wei: "......"

Xun Xiao gave him a blank look.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

The black-robed young man, shivering with cold, was helped to the fire.

Drinking Xun Xiao's fine wine here, he sighed.

"That's cool, that's how you drink on weekdays?"

"yes."

Xun Xiao showed a kind smile.

"You," the man pointed at him, and said quite freely, "You are the son of Xu Dunei, right?" ”

"This is our prince."

Dian Wei said angrily.

"It's still a prince, he became a prince at such a young age, and he has made meritorious deeds, I'm afraid that he has the merit of Chen Lang in Xuzhou and the life of Cao's son."

"You're a nice guy, you're kind."

The black-robed man spoke very impulsively, and a sense of emptiness arose spontaneously.

Drink the wine and pour it in, informal, and the bearing is not an ordinary person, Xun Xiao feels familiar, but for a while he can't remember where he has seen it.

"Dare to ask, why was he chased and killed, and why did he come to Xudu again?"

"Whoever has come to run," he said angrily, "I will go to that one, and if I have the temperament of you, a prince, I will burn high incense." ”

"That kid has been bad since he was a child, and now he happened to pick up the big brother's cheapness and became a prince, hum ......"

Xun Xiao: "......"

Hum.
