These people see Cao Cao as a mediocre talent, but the strength is several times that of her, but she herself will never dare to treat Cao Cao as a mediocre talent, even if she does not mention the reputation that Cao Cao left to future generations, just say that Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou before, and a little memory when he fought with him, she can feel extremely obviously that this person is a ruthless, shrewd, and control general who is definitely not inferior to the ban.

Fighting with a great military strategist with a strength several times her own, she didn't even know how many people the other party had left in Xiapi, how many people had brought out, and how many of them were hidden in the mountains near the left, where did she get the confidence to attack in an all-out way?

Of course, there is nothing difficult to convince a Mi Fang, she thought about it like this, and was just about to speak, Tai Shi Ci glanced at Mi Fang, and suddenly spoke.

"General, what Mi Zifang said—"

She was stunned.

"That's exactly what the officers and men in the army think."

"Not bad!" Mi Fang hurriedly added, "General, the Cao thief is right in front of you, if you don't break it at this time, when will you wait?" Even if tonight doesn't strike, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? ”

There was no emotion in Tai Shici's eyes, and she was still looking at her steadily, but she understood everything in an instant.

It was useless to convince Mi Fang alone, and the whole army was waiting for her order to attack.

Those captains, those partial generals, and the petty officers below, as well as the gongcao, their families may be in Qingzhou, but some of them are still in Xiapi.

No matter where she is, she needs to be rescued faster, faster!

Those who jumped off the walls did not have her family among them—they would have thought—but not necessarily without them!

Just think of their parents, wives and children soaking in the cold water of the river, and their hearts are like tormenting in a boiling kettle.

Therefore, Cao Cao used the method once and then no longer used it.

He naturally knew that this kind of urgency would only be a day or two, three days, five days, eight days and ten days, and it would always permeate the camp, and finally she had to give the order to attack.

The curtain suddenly opened, and the afterglow spilled into the tent.

A soldier probed his brain, "General, do you want to use some food?" ”

…… She hurriedly waved her hand, and when she wanted to make the little soldier retreat, Xu Shu suddenly stood up.

"General, let's eat first and have a good rest," he said with a smile, "Our scouts have been inquiring frequently for the past two days, and perhaps some news will come back tonight." ”

Mi Fang seemed to want to say something, but the miserable white boy had some eyesight, so he didn't urge her anymore, but turned his head to look at the plate held by the little soldier at the door.

"How does the general eat these?" He said, "I commanded them to kill a lamb and roast it for the general." ”

Lu Hangyu subconsciously touched his throat, I don't know if it was because he hadn't eaten much water and rice in the past few days, or because he was too stressed, and his throat hurt tightly.

"Forget it," she said, "just have a bowl of noodle soup to drink." ”

When everyone came out, Mr. Xu Yuanzhi seemed to pick up Jian Yong's character, and casually told a cold joke, "Maybe Cao Mengde is like a general now, and he is only willing to eat a bowl of noodle soup." ”

…… I don't know if Cao Cao's appetite is good, probably good, right? Seeing the strength of Yanzhou Jun jumping left and right, she felt that Cao Cao seemed to be in a stable state of mind, and he dared to do any tricks.

Anyway, she really didn't have much appetite, looking at the bowl of noodle soup, a plate of vegetables, and a plate of dried meat, she picked up the chopsticks, thought about it and put it down.

"Can't you eat it?"

…… She didn't notice that it was not the soldiers who brought her the noodle soup, it was Zhang Liao.

Ziyi was a step slower. Zhang Liao sensed her doubts and said this a little complacently.

“…… You are not my own soldiers, what are you doing with this kind of work? ”

She put her chopsticks down, changed the spoon, and decided to scoop a spoonful to taste.

…… Can't taste it.

…… And the hot soup touched the bubble on her lips, which gave her a pain in an instant.

Zhang Liaoting sat down opposite her out of sight.

"You haven't seen any worry these days, why are you foaming at the mouth like this?"

How do you say that?

Although everyone was curious about what happened in the tent that day, no one could guess.

…… Even if no one could guess, the words she had argued with Blackblade would gradually turn into a rumor that would sway the entire barracks.

Liu Bei is her lord, there is no doubt about it.

But he still doesn't have a son, which means that if Liu Bei encounters something unexpected on the way to rescue Xiapi, and she does exterminate Cao Cao, then there will be a huge power void in these states.

She has lost her black blade, she no longer has otherworldly combat power, and she can't take the lead and use herself as Xiang Yu - but will the soldiers believe it?

What will they think, what will the scholars of Xuzhou think?

Why was Lu Lian so invincible before, and now she is obviously facing Cao Cao, as long as she relies on her own courage to rush over, but she stops moving forward like this?

Is she seeking stability, or is she seeking a higher position?

"Are you hesitating," Zhang Liao stared at her, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you let me go?" ”

“…… What? She didn't react, "To what?" ”

"Go to the camp and try the reality." Zhang Liao said naturally, "If Cao Cao had premeditated, the cavalry would have a chance to escape, and then you would be able to convince the soldiers in the battalion." ”

"I don't need to try to know, Cao Cao is suspicious, and there must be arrangements in the camp."

"But the soldiers don't know, aren't you trying to convince them?"

…… This number of paths is very wrong.

"He's set up, how can he make it easy for you to escape?" She frowned, "This is extremely dangerous, it can't be like this." ”

Zhang Liao didn't seem to be moved at all, "Am I afraid of death?" ”

The sunset gradually dimmed, the fireworks in the camp became thicker, and it was very lively outside for a while.

But the tent has not lit up the lamps everywhere, only a small lamp on the desk, reflecting Zhang Liao's face.

He looked at her with a smile, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be no different from those on the way to Chang'an that year.

But with her good eyesight, she suddenly saw fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

It seems that he is less than thirty years old, but he still leaves a little trace of his career over the years.

"Wen Yuan," Lu Xuanyu didn't know why, and he popped out this sentence of emotion out of nowhere, "You're old." ”

The smile froze suddenly.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I first saw you," he replied dryly, and then suddenly straightened his posture and looked at her seriously, "and he hasn't married a wife yet." ”

…… Not married yet?

What is the use of telling her that she has not yet taken a wife, and she does not lack his rice......

She was about to retort casually, when she suddenly realized what he was talking about.

The string, which had been taut for a long time because of the war, seemed to have been touched suddenly.

…… But it's very wrong to talk about this topic at this time!

"This matter," she felt a little annoyance in her voice, "it can't be solved now!" ”

Zhang Liao seemed to want to laugh, but he held back, and looked away a little, and coughed twice very abruptly.

The firelight jumped and jumped, reflecting the light in his eyes.

But when he turned his face and looked at her again, the light that had just danced seemed to be just her delusion.

His dark eyes restrained all his emotions, very solemn and serious.

"An opponent like Cao Cao, whose strength is above mine, should not seek a way to win."

Her eyes widened suddenly, realizing that this had nothing to do with military books and strategies, but the experience gained by Zhang Liao, a general under Lu Bu, in frequent battles with Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

"Because Cao Cao won't give me such a chance." She said.

The general smiled and nodded.

"Not bad."

If this confrontation continues, her military spirit will go wrong before she can find a turning point, so she can no longer fantasize about a decisive battle that must be won.

She must face the brutal truth that this is a war that she needs to be prepared to lose, after abandoning her personal prowess.

It was already completely dark.

After returning to the camp, Cao Cao, who had taken a nap for a while, had already woken up, and some soldiers came into the tent to add charcoal fire to him, and then helped him to stay.

It's a bit top-heavy, and the headache isn't entirely good, but he tells himself that he must cheer up, maybe Lu Lian will attack the camp, even if he is prepared, he still can't ignore the changes that Lu Lian's personal bravery may bring.

Just as he was about to pick up the bowl and continue to drink a little noodle soup, Liu Ye walked in, and his interest was obviously very good, so he bowed when he entered the tent.

"My lord."

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Where did Ziyang come from?" ”

"I came to tell the lord about it," Liu Ye said with a smile, "After the autonomous public water flooded Pi, Xiao Pei was also flooded, and several dirt roads were flooded, leaving only the northwest and northeast roads that could still be ridden. ”

As he said this, he took out the stack of blood-stained silk books from his sleeve.

When Cao Cao unfolded those silk books, his pupils constricted for a moment.

These dozen riders left Xiaopei at different times and embarked on two roads, but what is written in the book is exactly the same -

They all wanted to report to Lu Lian and tell her that the Xiliang army was attacking Yanzhou, and now Xingyang had been lost, and Dong Cheng was approaching Juancheng!

What would happen to Lu Lian if she received such a letter?

Even if it's a mediocre general! Even if it's a fool! She will also spend it with Cao Cao with confidence!

Cao Cao threw all the dozen silk letters into the brazier, watched them slowly licked and licked by the tongue of fire, and turned into ashes with the unwillingness of the cavalry who risked their lives to deliver the letter.

"Ziyang's plan almost saved my life," he said with emotion, "If Lu Lian receives these silk books, my army will be closed!" ”

"This is not a matter of effort," Liu Ye said firmly, "but it is a clear proof that the Lord is favored by God!" ”

Cao Cao grabbed the scribe's hand and shook it vigorously, causing the other party's eyes to turn red with excitement.

Is this his compliment?

Apparently not! That's true! This is an ironclad fact!

Because the next day, when the two armies set up their military formations again and confronted each other, Lu Lian's army, which was located in the southeast and facing northwest, finally moved!

Under the sound of war drums, the army marched slowly forward!

Cao Cao's eyes widened under the Great Order, but he didn't speak for a long time, or the people around him repeated it in an extremely excited tone-
