Only the fact that her mind was too quiet really made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The black blade that had seen her most flustered, embarrassed, and ugly, who had all her secrets, and who knew all her thoughts, fell into a deep sleep for a short time, and never spoke again.

She should have enjoyed the tranquility, but she felt that her world was lonely as she stood in the noisy barracks.

However, this silence did not last long, and on the third day after Tai Shici and Zhang Liao left, a soldier reported that Mr. Xu Yuanzhi seemed to have something to do and wanted to come to the Chinese military tent to look for her.

…… But it's not serious.

"When I came all the way from Jingzhou, I was in a hurry and didn't bring my own tea cakes," Xu Shu, who walked in and sat down, said solemnly, "However, the tea I drank in the Chinese military tent last time was good." ”

"Sir, do you want tea? It's not a good tea," she said gently, "and I'll order the sergeant to send some to Sir." ”

Xu Shu's serious face seemed to suddenly collapse.

"I just want to come to the general's tent to ask for a bowl of tea," the strategist said this, as if he didn't feel that he had spoken clearly enough, "...... In fact, I have something to say to the general. ”

“…… Oh. ”

Talk and talk, why do you say you want to come to ask for tea, are cultural people so tactful?

But if it was according to this logic, she thought, what other reason did Chen Qun have to invite her to tea that day?

…… Probably not, because in the end he didn't say it.

…… Probably it was just to show off your own good tea cakes.

The sergeant boiled a pot of tea and brought it up, and Xu Shu poured a bowl for her and a bowl for himself.

The scribe held the bowl and took a careful sip, blinking his eyes as if with a little enjoyment before speaking.

"From Shu to the general's command, there have been constant wars, so I have never talked to the general."

“…… What is Qing Tan? ”

Xu Shu was dumbfounded again, but only for a moment.

…… Her new strategist's psychological quality is terrifyingly good.

"I just wanted to talk to the general," he said, with a straight face, "and I think today is a good time." ”

“…… Why? She was a little suspicious, "What does the gentleman want to talk about?" ”

"Talk about the general's description in recent days." Xu Shu said, "The general is comparable to Han Bai in terms of wisdom and strategy, and he is not inferior to King Xiang when he talks about bravery, but the general is not an immortal, so he always cares more about himself." ”

…… She subconsciously rubbed her face.

"Why don't I care?" She said, "You want me to heal my wounds, and I will heal them." ”

Xu Shu glanced at her.

"The general seems to be very thoughtful these days." He said, "Are you worried about Xiapi, or Qingzhou?" ”

"There are lords and three generals in Xiapi, the city walls are high and thick, and there is Surabaya under the city, it is extremely difficult for Cao Cao to besiege the city, I am not worried;" She said, "Qingzhou has a country to give up, Kong Beihai is willing to give power to him, plus Langya East China Sea is in the south, Donglai is in the east, all can be helped, Yuan Shao wants to attack Beihai, it is not easy." ”

These things were always repeated in her heart, and when Xu Shu asked, she blurted out almost without thinking.

So Xu Shu was stunned for a while.

"The general is a thoughtful and thoughtful man."

…… She is not good at being complimented, which is a little embarrassing.

"I'm not worried about the war," she said, "and as long as I keep winning, I'll always be able to defeat the thief—so, what is Sir worried about?" ”

Xu Shu's train of thought still seems to be very clear, but he throws up a very irrelevant question:

"What do the two generals, Ziyi and Wen Yuan, like in Su Rili, do the generals know?"

…… She thought for a moment.

"When Ziyi led the army, he didn't take the courage of one person, but whenever he had free time after camping, he always liked to go out hunting with a bow," she said, "and he loved to hunt." ”

"Well, what about General Wenyuan?"

"In addition to taking care of the war horse, his favorite thing is to eat soup cakes!" She immediately said, "I don't talk about touching the flour everywhere, and I often ask the cook to make it for me, but I don't like that thing very much, especially he likes to add vinegar to it......"

"What about the general?" Xu Shu asked, "What does the general have to eat and play, can he think of it to make himself happy?" ”

Her fleeting interest, raised a little by the pleasures of others, vanished in a moment.

Even the only smile left on her face was an empty smile.

"I don't have any hobbies, whether it's eating or having fun," she said, "Didn't the sage say, 'You can't grow, you can't follow your desires, you can't be satisfied, you can't be happy.'" ”

Xu Shu sighed, "The general's current appearance, don't say that he has seen any wealth and bliss, it is the field on the side of the road, and it looks easier than the general." ”

"Fugui, I've seen it in Shouchun City, but I don't think that makes people happy." She said, "And the roadside cottages, they are no easier than me, I know that." ”

The smile on Xu Shu's face disappeared completely, and she looked at her with a slightly frowning brow and the worried eyes of a seriously ill patient, and she couldn't see her whole body.

Just as she quietly reached for the mat, about to pick it lightly, the herald suddenly ran in.

"General! There was a scout report, Yu Ban led 5,000 infantry, and hundreds of cavalry, from the city! I'm about to pursue General Taishi! ”

She immediately stood up, "Report to General Guan first—also, pass the order to go down, pull out the village tomorrow and set off, and go north to encircle and forbid!" ”

"Yes!"

Everything seems to be going according to plan.

Although she doesn't have many troops left, and they are all tired and wounded, with her there, she will definitely be able to break through the main force of Yu Ban, and the second master can take the opportunity to attack the city and take Huai'an back.

Just as he was thinking like this, Xu Shu also put down the tea bowl, got up and bowed to her silently, preparing to leave.

“…… Mr. ”

"General?"

"I know my husband is worried about me," she smiled, "but I'm not worried about anything, I'm just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that this battle has been fought for a long time, except for those of us, the only people who have traveled with me along the way are my brother Chen Yuanlong and the second general."

Except for them, every county she came across from Guangling was not their fellow travelers, and they needed to spend their energy and effort to exert grace and power to barely control it—and Leng Ding would be assassinated—so this feeling of loneliness was doubly clear.

She did not act for the sake of fame and fame, nor did she act for the sake of fame and fame, nor did she seem to receive much forceful, well-intentioned reward for their actions, and they must continue to fight alone between heaven and earth.

Naturally, the more tired you are on such a path, and gradually you will become exhausted.

But when these words were spoken, they had the meaning of complaining, so she was not prepared to say so.

But Xu Shu seemed to understand what she was thinking in an instant.

The look of anxiety and anxiety disappeared in an instant.

"Does the general think so?" He smiled and said, "It must be the general's mistake." ”

“…… How do I think it's bad? ”

"If the reputation of Liu Yuanjun and the general is not obvious, how can I come to the general?"

The scribe's eyes still had a gentle smile in his eyes, but his voice was as firm as a mountain, and it did not waver in the slightest.

"Mr. ......"

"Don't you hear that 'virtue is not lonely, there must be neighbors'?"

"I've heard it, but ......," she said awkwardly, "does the gentleman want to say something?" ”

…… For example, auspicious words such as "you are a good person, you have a good reward"?

"I'm not a Fang Shi, and I never speak proverbs," Xu Shu seemed to be amused, but his expression was still very serious, "Today's words, the general will soon be able to see in person." ”

Chapter 261

Does virtue work?

Can virtue be turned into a sword to fight for the Magi or the Saints?

Can virtue prevail against one of the best soldiers in the world?

One after another camp tents are located on the plain in the north of Xiapi City, they are neat and orderly, during which the flags of different generals are scattered, and the Xuanxi Daxu of Cao Cao, the general of Zhendong Feiting, is like a cold winter that comes early, with a cold and extremely powerful north wind, blowing into the hearts of everyone in Xiapi City.

But the owner of the legion, who was like a biting wind, had no awe-inspiring or ferocious expression at this time, and he was wearing half-worn leather armor, riding on horseback, and with hundreds of cavalry guards, plus a strategist, and was patrolling the Surabaya River.

He needs to go out of the camp to check the terrain for himself, and he also needs to calm his mind.

Cao Ren, who was guarding the Huaibei camp, was killed in battle, and the remnants of the soldiers were gathered by Cao Xiu and retreated to Runan first, where they joined him only a few days earlier.

For Cao Cao, who has no brothers, although Cao Ren is his younger brother, like his own brother, he fought with him in the north and south, and has made a lot of military achievements, even closer than Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, and is his indispensable right-hand man.

As a result, he briefly suffered a stroke and lay on the couch for a day.

But when he reappeared in front of everyone, Cao Cao's expression was so hard that he didn't change in the slightest.

In those dreams where his head was splitting, his memories were noisy and chaotic, his ruling territory was shattered, and his brother's appearance was bloody, in which he was filled with a thick mist, he was once again by Surabaya.

The dream was so real that he could smell the faint stench of decay under the damp mist, and he could hear the sound of corpses colliding against each other above the gurgling water.

He was right next to Surabaya, and the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children he had killed, even in this clear and chaotic dream...... The souls could only stare at him with mournful and angry eyes, and then slowly descend the river under his cold gaze, never to return.

…… He has paid a lot of costs along the way that he can accept, or can't accept, so he must not lose this battle at this moment, this battle next to Surabaya.

He broke Liu Bei's main force, and cut off the reinforcements of Guangling, Huainan, and Xiaopei, he must take Xiapi next!

Only by truly exterminating Liu Bei can we stop the steady stream of reinforcements from all over Xuzhou coming to Xiapi.

…… Only by truly exterminating Liu Bei can we stop those people who came from the southwest and still wanted to enter the city.

Cao Cao did not have a naval army, but Surabaya flowed through Xiapi, especially now that it was the rising water period, and the west gate and south gate of Xiapi were surrounded by Surabaya.

It was not easy to surround such a city, especially since he had to constantly divide his energy to intercept the county soldiers who came to the rescue.

The people of Xuzhou got a vacancy, so they continued to come to the next by the foot with a large bag and a small bag, some of them pushed a small cart to the side of Surabaya, and some of them took a boat from the upstream downstream, among them there were scholars, but more of them were barefoot Qianshou.

This is not normal.

This is a lonely city that is about to be besieged, even if those common people don't know the art of war, they should see the prosperity of his Yanzhou army!

Even if they couldn't see the strong posture of Yanzhou's soldiers—could it be that the slaughter of Xuzhou a few years ago was forgotten by them so quickly?!
