[Army. 】

[It's the Yanzhou soldiers and the Qingzhou soldiers, two armies,] the black blade corrected it, [Liu Bei is the same, he also wants to control his own Jizhou soldiers, as well as the Danyang soldiers that Tao Qian allocated to him. 】

"It's like one day I had two black blades," she agreed, "I'll have to be careful with their relationship. 】

[........................] The black blade seemed to pretend not to hear, and it seemed to sneer, but in short, it continued to ask the question, [Since you think of this, then you say, what will you do?] 】

[My lord has Tancheng to rely on, Tao Qian didn't ask him to break Cao's army, as long as he can keep Tancheng,] she said, [So he is not in a hurry to fight. 】

[Not bad.] 】

[Cao Cao came from afar, fighting alone, but his strength surpassed Liu Bei, if he sought stability, judging from the current situation, Tian Kai did not move, Yuan Shu did not move, he was almost invincible. She said, "If I were Cao Cao, I wouldn't be in a hurry. 】

[Then do you think Cao Ying can be attacked? ] 】

She was silent for a moment, "Not tonight. 】

[Tomorrow? 】

[Then I'll have to take a look.] She said, "I can wait anyway." 】

Black Blade seemed to laugh, [Don't you think this kind of waiting is very painful? 】

Is this kind of waiting torment?

She stood on Chang'an City, waiting for sunset after sunset, waiting for the Xiliang army to retreat, which was even more tormented than now.

So she answered it frankly, "I can't help it. 】

"Lang Jun?" Li Er looked at her cautiously, "What the hell?" ”

She came back to her senses, "No, we'll have to wait. ”

Li Er hugged his head in pain, squatted down, chirped quietly in the night wind, and even whimpered.

【…… What's going on? She was a little stunned, "Why is he more tormented than me?" 】

Such days lasted for five or six days, and it was a very painful thing for both sides.

At the beginning, Cao Cao would send many scouts to search for traces of this army in the swamp, but this swamp was so wooded that the locals were easy to get lost, let alone these Yanzhou people who came from afar.

But just because they can't find this army doesn't mean it doesn't exist! In particular, it only stared at it from afar, and never approached hastily, which almost drove a few grumpy generals out of the army.

"Brother, my injuries have healed," Cao Hong said, "How about I lead two thousand Qingzhou soldiers into Daze to find out?" If it's just a bluff, I'll kill them all! ”

Cao Cao's gaze moved a little down from his cousin's face and landed on his well-dressed chest, and Cao Hong immediately realized it, and a wave of shame and anger welled up in his heart, making him can't help but be a little louder.

"If it's really him! I will kill him with my own hands!" ”

“…… What are you going to do to kill him? ”

Cao Hong blinked.

"Brother asked me to bring those 500 long card soldiers, and then bring the 300 ......"

The younger brother is a good brother, but it costs a bit money, and dozens of pounds of long cards are carried into the swamp, what is that scene? If the long-card soldiers are not allowed to be used, those crossbowmen rush into Daze, won't they be completely annihilated?

Cao Cao comforted him a few words, and finally spoke.

"I have sent someone to Yuan Shu's office, and there will be news in the past two days," he said, "If that young man is really 'lacking in swords' and has led thousands of men here, what if I will temporarily abandon Tancheng and return to the East China Sea, and cut off his way back?" ”

If he is not, then it is Liu Bei's tricks, he can ignore it and go all out to break the alliance between Liu Bei and Cao Bao!

He was indeed able to break through them one by one, first breaking this support army, then breaking Liu Bei, and finally capturing Tancheng.

"General——! The herald hurriedly ran in from outside the tent, "There is a letter!" ”

Cao Cao nodded to his cousin, then beckoned the herald to come over and hand him the letter that had arrived on a flying horse.

He was still very cautious when he took the letter, but after reading the outer cover, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at Cao Hong easily.

"It turned out to be Wen Ruo's letter, and he has traveled thousands of miles, so he has to pay attention to me here."

Cao Cao went on an expedition to Xuzhou, and Yanzhou was left to Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to guard, and he was extremely relieved.

Therefore, Cao Hong's mood was also relieved, and he felt that Xun Yu must have reported something trivial to him, and he even began to empty his mind and think of his own affairs...... For example, he had to think of a way to fight the swordsman again, this time......

Cao Cao stood up suddenly.

Expressions of anger, horror, hideousness, and pain intertwined on his face, which Cao Hong rarely saw, so he lost his words for a moment.

But Cao Cao immediately gave an order, "Pass the order down, and raise the account immediately!" ”

“…… Brother? ”

Cao Cao's distorted expressions had gradually been suppressed by him, but there was still uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

"Lu Bupifu......" he let out a roar from his throat, "I swear to kill this fang...... I swear to kill this fang! ”

Chapter 119

Xun Yu wrote a lot in his letters, such as Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rebelled, and welcomed Lu Bu to take Yanzhou, which was menacing; For example, the counties should respond, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu can only defend Juancheng, and Xiahou can only defend Dongjun. Although at first glance, it seemed that this was an attack from Lu Bu, but after Cao Cao calmed down, he immediately noticed that there were many things wrong, and it could even be said that Xun Yu had already written something on paper - this was not a conspiracy of a few people, but a conspiracy of the entire Yanzhou family, the conspiracy of the Yanzhou family!

Since he killed Bian Rang for false accusations last year, the Yanzhou family has been in danger and has been resentful of him for a long time.

A long time later, there was still this paragraph in the text of the crusade against Cao Cao, "Shilin is angry, people are angry, one husband fights, and the state is in unison", in the eyes of Yanzhou people, they welcomed Lu Bu in, not to welcome the liukou, but to welcome the righteous teacher! They want to take advantage of Cao Cao's time in Xuzhou, 600 miles away, to destroy the foundation he has worked so hard to create in one fell swoop!

Even more terrible than the family joining forces to betray him was that the most elite army under his command was made up of Yanzhou people—they were loyal to him, but most of their parents, wives and children fell to Lü Bu at this time.

Of course, he also has a large number of Qingzhou soldiers, and the conquest of Xuzhou mainly relies on this army of soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao also knows very well that he cannot rely too much on the Qingzhou soldiers, and these newly attached Yellow Turban remnants follow him for the sake of the golden silk and follow him for victory.

Once he showed his defeat and fell into embarrassment, he couldn't count on the Qingzhou soldiers.

Therefore, when the generals came, they saw a commander who was a little troubled, but generally quite calm.

"Wen Ruo wrote to me," Cao Cao said, "it has not rained in Yanzhou in February, and there is a fear of a severe drought this year, and although the military rations are still sufficient, I do not want to affect the people of Yanzhou for my own sake." ”

He sighed like this, and the generals also started to talk about it.

The years have been really bad in the past few years, a year of drought, a year of floods, and a year of great epidemics, and Hanzuo may really be at the end of the year, so that such a disaster has come. Either way, it's a real annoyance.

Therefore, Cao Cao frowned, sighed, and said the next decision, and the generals felt very natural.

"Now that the military rations are available, we can indeed go back."

"I haven't seen my boy in months." Someone whispered like this.

"And this time I broke five cities in a row, and I gained a lot," someone also whispered, "It's worthy of the soldiers." ”

"Six hundred miles of grain road, is it because of the embarrassment of Wen Ruozhongde, so he complains like this hahaha."

When the generals talked like this, Cao Cao did not stop it, so Xi Zhicai glanced at Cao Hong very concernedly.

This is very strange, he thought, General Cao Hong has always been the style of "fighting to feed the war", and when leading the army to fight, he must roughly sketch the counties through which he passes, so even if Yanzhou is in a severe drought this year and the supply of military food is difficult, Cao Hong should also suggest staying in Xuzhou and collecting all the autumn grain before leaving.

Why is it that now that Meng Degong ordered to return to Yanzhou, Cao Hong did not say a word?

His confusion was answered after the account was dispersed.

Naturally, the promotion of the account is not just to announce this decision, now that the troops are in Tancheng and hold on to Liu Bei for a few days, how to withdraw the army safely and not be disturbed by the enemy, this is the most important thing.

The rear army was transformed into the front army, and various deployments were made, and after the generals received their orders, they came out one by one, and Cao Cao left this very important strategist alone.

…… Not only that, but he even sent out the rest of the guards in the tent.

…… He even ordered the curtain tent to be lowered, and in broad daylight, the tent of the Chinese army was tightly closed.

After issuing this series of somewhat strange orders, Cao Cao beckoned to Xi Zhicai.

The scribe stepped forward with a little hesitation, and when he saw his lord leaning on the table behind the handsome case, he didn't know what he was thinking, and a tear fell.

…… And the tears fell.

…… Then he was wiped away by the lord vigorously!

…… The forty-year-old commander is crying!

"Meng Zhuo bears me!" He shouted angrily, "At the beginning, he bluntly said that he was wrong, and he wanted to kill him quickly, but I saved him!" Why do you lose me! ”

As a strategist beside Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai naturally understood who the "Meng Zhuo" the lord was talking about.

Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, the word Meng Zhuo, is a friend of Meng Degong, less famous for chivalrous deeds, it is rumored that he can scatter all his family wealth to help the poor, so he is regarded as a friend by Meng Degong and Ben Chu Gong, what kind of friend is this "friend"?

Last year, Meng Degong went to Xuzhou for the first time, and he was not sure of Tao Qian's victory, so he was quite apprehensive, and when he traveled, he instructed his family:

"If I don't return, you will go to Meng Zhuo, and he will treat you well."

The words are still in the ears, and the times have changed.

So Xi Zhi guessed what happened in Yanzhou, and also guessed the reason why the lord immediately withdrew from the army.

But before the lord could agree on a plan with him, he had to grit his teeth and say another cruel word.

"Lu Bu is this fang, I don't know how to charm people's hearts, and it confuses Meng Zhuo!" He said fiercely, "When I return to Yanzhou, I will-"

Cough.

If Lu Hangyu heard Cao Cao's words, or the black blade heard this, he would feel that he was thinking too much......

After all, Lu Bu is not a master of communication with a lotus tongue.

But it seems that saying something like this will only hurt Boss Cao's heart even more...... Come to think of it, this group of Yanzhou people would rather have a dog that can choke people with an open mouth and a half-dead red rabbit! Don't want the eloquent Boss Cao! How did this provoke people! At least to the extent of sin to death!

Anyway, Lu Hangyu, who was squatting on the mountain waiting for Cao Jun to attack, discovered something strange on this day.

It is not surprising that Cao Jun had to cut down trees around the perimeter when they set up camp, one to repair the fence and the other to cut a fire barrier. But after a few days of camping, the soldiers began to cut down trees on a large scale, which was very abnormal.

Even if it is to build a ladder to storm the city, it will have to be done when it is about to go to the city, and now that Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city have not been killed, how can it be possible to build siege equipment?

She asked the soldiers to continue to hide behind, and she quietly moved forward, touching the vicinity of Cao Bing's camp......

These cut down trees were built with many "herringbone" racks, which were crossed by horizontal logs, and then the head of the spear was threaded on the rack, so that the tip of the spear was pointed outward, and it was arranged in a line outside the camp, which was called "antlers", which was not unusual, and was laid out outside the camp to prevent cavalry charges.

…… But it's particularly neurotic to appear here.

This camp was built in a swamp, which means that the vicinity is full of soft mud, stagnant water, and green moss, and it is very uncomfortable for Cao Bing to camp here, but it is not easy to attack this camp, especially the cavalry - what kind of cavalry can attack in the swamp!

…… Is this because the soldiers are afraid that they will get sick, so they cut down trees and tie their antlers to exercise? She thought.

Think again," said the Black Blade, "What you see is not necessarily what you see. 】

[For example?] 】
