Chapter Seventy-One: Beloved, Angelica
Walking through the camp strewn with corpses and banners flipped around, Cao Cao entered the military tent and saw Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and Dian Wei lying on three couches respectively.
Cao Cao saw Dian Wei straight in front of him, looking at him with a pale face, unconscious, and a pain in his heart like a knife, "How is he?" ”
The old military doctor, whose beard was white, whispered: "General Dian Wei was wounded by seven knives and twelve bullets, but he has a good foundation, and his breath has gradually recovered after applying medicine, and he will be fine after a few months of recuperation." ”
Hearing the military doctor say this, Cao Cao finally showed a relaxed smile, and then walked in front of Cao Ang and said solemnly: "What about Ziyu and An Min?" ”
"Their injuries are worse than General Dian Wei, especially the eldest prince, the blood is almost dry."
When the old military doctor said this, a look of admiration appeared on his face, and he nodded: "But it didn't hurt the vital point, and it was good to recuperate, and it should be fine in half a year." ”
At this point, Cao Cao was no longer burdened, he pulled Cao Ang's futon, carefully lifted it up, and then turned around and left the military tent.
"Let Liu Bei go to the Zhongjun tent."
"Whoa."
After the herald left, Cao Cao brushed his messy clothes, and the prestige of the imperial court could not be lost.
The noon sun was very dazzling, and the soldiers were all drooping their heads, or carrying the corpses to the deep pit dug outside the village, or holding the robes with broken hands and feet to find the military doctor, and everyone's faces were written with depression, but Cao Cao felt that this moment was extremely relaxed.
He didn't even know how many soldiers and horses Zhang Xiu had lost in his rebellion this time, but he didn't care.
After coming to the Chinese military tent, not long after, Liu Bei also rushed over.
"Liu Bei meets Cao Sikong." The bruise on the armor silently told Liu Bei's brilliant achievements last night.
Cao Cao walked up to him expressionlessly, circled around Liu Bei, and then looked him up and down.
This operation stunned Liu Bei, especially the blazing heat in the other party's eyes, which made him feel tight in the Kikube area.
Suddenly, Cao Cao took two steps back, patted his left and right clothes with both hands, and bowed respectfully towards Liu Bei.
"Sikong, this..."
Liu Bei was dazed for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Why is this?" ”
"Xuande."
Cao Cao breathed a long sigh of relief, and said earnestly: "You saved Dian Wei, saved Zixuan, and saved An Min, which is equivalent to saving me." ”
He patted his chest and signaled that he had all this in mind, "After returning to Xuchang, I will show that the Son of Heaven will worship you as the right general." ”
"Thank you Sikong, I just fulfilled my duties, and I didn't dare to take credit." Liu Bei immediately returned the salute.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and his eyes became clearer than before.
In the past, when he looked at Liu Bei, he always had a suspicion.
First, Liu Bei's surname was Liu, and he roamed around the princes of all walks of life under the banner of supporting the Han Dynasty and the Jing Rebellion;
Secondly, he felt that Liu Bei had a hidden ambition.
Therefore, he used it for Liu Bei and guarded against it.
use, is for the world to see; Prevention is to follow one's own heart.
After this incident, he felt that there was no need to take precautions against Liu Bei.
"Sit."
After Cao Cao patted Liu Bei's arm, he also sat back in the handsome position, Xu was to show his closeness, he took the initiative to ask Liu Bei about the matter on the military plane for the first time, "It is reported that Zhang Xiu led the remnants to go to Yucheng to join Liu Biao, Xuande thought we should do it." ”
Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Sikong, Wancheng has been lowered, the western barrier is in hand, the goal of this trip has been achieved, and I think there is no need to kill Zhang Xiu at the end of the strong crossbow."
Moreover, after this battle, our army was also injured and urgently needed to rest, so it was better to go first. ”
The words are sincere, the attitude is respectful, and I really think about you as a boss.
Cao Cao just laughed a few times when he heard it, how to do it, he had a plan in his heart, and he wanted to imply to Liu Bei that we would be people in the same boat in the future, and anything could be discussed.
Mental tricks, Cao Cao played quite slippery.
"What Xuande said is reasonable, okay, according to what you said, after the army is ready, choose a day to return to the east."
"It's a no-brainer."
After a dry exchange, Liu Bei retreated.
Cao Cao sat alone in the tent, and his mood changed from relaxed to heavy again.
Being alone can always make a person see their hearts more clearly.
He is concluding, this time, if he is not too floating, it should be an opportunity for his strength to skyrocket.
In the blueprint of the plan, it should be to return to the capital with a victorious army, take Xuzhou in one fell swoop after the strong army, and then go north to face Yuan Shao.
"Careless, careless..."Cao Cao muttered to himself, both annoyed and introspective.
This is a bit miserable, and we must remember today's lesson.
While he was reflecting on himself, Cheng Yu walked in, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and his expression was a little dignified.
Cao Cao didn't even bother to ask, and directly snatched the bamboo slip from his hand and checked it.
Suddenly, his eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
"Good means, good design, and good birth Lin Yunwen actually used only a few dozen horses to defeat Liu Xun's 20,000 army head-on, this son's talent is majestic in the past and the present."
That's right, even Yuan Shu was played with by him, how could Liu Xun be an opponent.
But you can't lose so quickly, right?
Expected, unreasonable...
Cao Cao was in a mixed mood, he had just suffered a big defeat, but Lu Bu became stronger step by step with Lin Mo's assistance.
If this continues, this tiger at the end of the road will sooner or later become a dragon that overturns the river and the sea.
If Yunwen was by my side, I am afraid that I would not have today's fiasco, Cao Cao sighed for no reason.
He looked at the southeast in a daze, thinking to himself when his beloved would return.
Beloved, Angelica...
......
In Anhui County, outside the General's Mansion, Lin Mo clasped his hands on his chest and watched the people move bundles of sugarcane into the mansion.
Lu Lingqi on the side was puzzled: "Have you finished eating so many Zhuzhe?" ”
"If you can't finish eating, you can still use it." Lin Mo picked up a sugarcane, directly tore the skin and chewed it.
It's ok, it's quite sweet.
"With?"
Lu Lingqi took a sugarcane and looked it up and down, "How to use it?" ”
"I'll teach you later."
Lin Mo sold it, and then said with a smile: "You can try it too, men are the same as sugar cane." ”
Lu Lingqi's beautiful eyes frowned slightly, picked up one and ate it, but she didn't know what to do, "What's the same." ”
Lin Mo chewed and said, "It's quite sweet at first, but as the water loses, in the end it's just a mouthful of dregs." ”
The contact time is not short, she knows that Lin Mo will jump out a few words from time to time, but she still understands this sentence, and immediately sneered: "If you are like this, I don't know if there will be scum left." ”
Lin Mohu's body was shocked, this tough girl is really scary, she can't be provoked, she can't be provoked.
Lu Lingqi, who felt boring, went in directly, she wanted to see how much sugarcane was stored at home, and vaguely remembered that this was already the fifth car, she didn't understand why Lin Mo made so much sugarcane.
Seeing that all the unloading was finished, Lin Mo also finished eating the last part of the sugarcane, patted the scum on his body and was about to go in, but the coachman cautiously leaned over and stuffed a bag into Lin Mo's hand.
"Lord Sikong said, his mind is in it, and he will always be waiting for you in Xuchang."
Cao Cao's people?
Lin Mo's first reaction was not to open the bag, but to be shocked by Cao Cao's pervasive meticulous work.
This kind of work of delivering letters generally has to be done by cronies, who would have thought that the harmless coachman in front of him was Cao Cao's insider.
Lin Mo involuntarily glanced at the surrounding people, and even the passers-by who came and went, as if everyone had a sense of undercover, and there was a chill behind him.
After he shuddered, he ran in and saw what gifts he could give himself.
