"Ming Gong is back!"

Cao Cao smiled, nodded slightly, and took his hand, "Although I have returned, there are still foreign thieves who have not yet been settled." ”

His words quickly disappeared into the gate, but in the dim wind and snow behind him, the shadows of chariots and horses gradually came towards the camp.

Chapter 537

Snowflakes are drifting.

Zhecheng was originally sparsely populated, but seeing the gloomy sky outside, no one would think that the wind and snow would stop before the sun went down.

In such weather, no one could wait to go out to buy things, so the merchants in the market gradually packed up their goods, drove mules and horses, carried flat burdens, and went home with a sad face to listen to their daughter-in-law's scolding.

But a few hawkers came in and hurried out again.

Even the wife of the family told her children a few words, and after cooking some simple meals for Aunt Weng, she followed her husband out.

They pushed carts with stoves and pots and clay pots, and the soup that was not yet cold gradually overflowed with white mist, and they walked all the way through the snow and white fog until they came to the city gate.

The commander of the soldier came over with a grin.

"You're good."

"The villain heard that the commander had sent a dispatch, and he actually alarmed the nobleman's mansion," said the merchant very obediently, "so I have come to do my part." ”

The soldier had a strange look on his face, "Fool! With him, Sun San also instructed to move the lord of my family? ”

The vendor immediately lowered his head and handed over another bowl of soup.

Such snowy nights are very bitter, and if it were normal, the veterans on duty at night on the city walls would sneak away after bribing the officers to find a place to hide from the snow, leaving behind those recruits who had no money and no merit.

But today is different, in addition to the Jizhou soldiers, the city sergeant clan also sent hundreds of additional troops to the city wall, this awe-inspiring momentum rose up all of a sudden, no matter who looks, it is also a heavy city.

Although the momentum has risen, the strength of hardship and hard work is not even comparable to the Jizhou veterans, so some businessmen learned the news and moved carefully, added two scoops of water to the soup cakes that were not sold out on the market, pushed them over and re-burned the soup to make it fragrant, waiting for these private soldiers to buy it.

Seeing that the little officer was drinking very sweetly, the other soldiers also came over with a huff.

The merchant was busy collecting the money, and the woman was busy scooping soup for them, and asked curiously:

"If it is not the battle of the commander, then who can work you?"

The junior officer glanced at him, "Naturally, he is a real nobleman, and he is the lord of our Yanzhou for many years!" ”

The sun was setting.

Although Guo Jia shivered from the cold, he still insisted on rushing back and not spending the night in the camp.

"Praising and belittling the lord from outsiders is not the way of a minister," Guo Jia put his hand into his sleeve with a sincere face, "But Cao Gong is suspicious, and you have also heard of it. Cao Gongyi is often uneven, if Jiajin can't return quickly, he will have some suspicions. ”

She stared at him with interest, "Suspicious of what?" ”

Guo Jia turned his face away slightly, not looking at her directly, his cheeks seemed to be slightly red because he had just drunk two glasses of hot wine, and this expression was very strange.

"General, the general is invincible in a hundred battles, his conduct is noble, and now he is given the marquis of Langhuai, and he also leads the history of Jizhou Thorn, I don't know how many people in the world want to serve the general, but the general has been gracious to Jia, talking about this situation, Jia ......" He glanced at her quickly, and seemed to quickly look away.

…… She suddenly felt chills.

More allergic than her is Zhang Liaotai Shi Ci, who is all dissatisfied.

Gao Shun was more subtle, and directly opened the curtain.

Guo Jia looked outside the tent where the wind and snow were howling, and looked at her tentatively.

Lu Hangyu hurriedly waved his hand.

The extremely terrible shyness just now disappeared from Guo Jia's face, and he bowed dignifiedly, turned his head and walked out.

Of course, don't think about the treatment of sending this envoy out or something, this time I can let him go back with dignity instead of rolling all the way out of the gate, which is already the credit of Mrs. Bian's burqa.

…… But Guo Jia didn't seem satisfied, and just as she moved the box out of the case a few times and was about to put it on her body, the curtain opened again.

…… Guo Jia is back again, just when she just put on one sleeve.

She felt her face hot and swollen for a moment, and she wanted to draw her sword and slash this thing.

But Guo Jia obviously didn't come back to laugh at her, his expression was solemn like she had never seen before.

"General," he said suddenly, "I have a word, I don't know General Kenna?" ”

She regretfully pulled her arm out of her sleeve.

"Please."

"Cao Gong is sincere, and he really does not regard the general as an enemy." He said.

"This," she said, "I don't hear with my ears, I see with my eyes." ”

Guo Jia nodded after hearing this, and bowed again.

Some of the soldiers lowered the tent curtain again, and the footsteps at the tent door gradually faded away.

Although it was a serious meeting to discuss the military situation after the envoy left, she still asked Xiao Er and Xiao Wu to cook some soup cakes and bring them over, and everyone ate and chatted together in a dignified manner, it didn't matter how much they ate, the important thing was that there was more heat in the tent, for example, Sima Yi didn't move the bamboo chopsticks much, but would only frequently put his hands on the jar to keep warm.

"Don't you think Guo Jia was weird just now?" She scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it, and her whole body relaxed, "Didn't he keep talking about this when he came here?" ”

"He is right," said Tai Shici, "Cao Cao only has more than 5,000 troops, how can he defeat us?" ”

"Even if he really wins, he will definitely lose his troops, why bother?" Zhang Liao paused and looked at Xiao Wu, "Is there vinegar?" ”

Gao Shun didn't say anything, but when Xiao Wu came in with vinegar, he also asked for a spoonful.

Then the tent was filled with a hot sour smell.

"If that's the case," she pretended not to smell, "Cao Cao really wants to be friends with me?" ”

"It's not necessarily a good relationship, it's just that he wants to use his posture so that the general will not be his enemy."

"But the general must also be careful," Sima Yi said coldly, "what if Cao Cao and Yuan Shao form an alliance again?" ”

"If that is the case, why did he leave the proton in the general's camp, and why did he send clothes to the general so respectfully?"

A few people chatted, she didn't say a word, snorted and cleaned all the soup cakes that were not too strong, and after putting down the bowl, she burped.

Now let's sort out the whole thing.

Did Cao Cao keep Cao Zhi in the camp to appease her?

She can reason backwards, if she is Cao Cao, the commander of the enemy army opposite has a friendship with him more than ten years ago to help save a few pigs, which seems to be not bad, but the grudge is gone, such as the sneak attack when Liu Bei was ordered by the court to beat Yuan Shu, such as sending Guo Jia to write letters everywhere to encourage the surrounding princes to be hostile to them, especially the commander on the opposite side has a moral cleanliness fetish, and he also killed a "Surabaya does not flow" in Xu Zhou.

Under such a premise, what would happen if she ran and sincerely begged the other coach to return her son?

…… It must be a lion's mouth! Even if you don't want money or food, why don't you come over in person to let the family beat up and get angry, even if you don't do it, give you some tricks, such as asking you to write an apology letter and then stamp it, and then copy one hundred and twenty copies wherever you go and post it, it's not just a matter of social death, it's a collapse of personality! In the future, if you ask the scholars for money and food, who will take care of you!

With her kind of can't think of any immoral strategies, revenge can only be thought of by people of this level, then she can also come up with these paths, what if she changes Sima Yi?

I'm afraid that I will carefully plan an action to ensure that Cao Mengde's dog head is cut off! If you can't kill it, and you know that your son has such a heavy position in your heart, then you can also kill your son!

So after thinking about it and deducing it again, she couldn't think of any mistakes.

Speaking of which, Gao Shun analyzed it again.

"The general is now several times more soldiers and horses, if Cao Mengde is eager to fight with the general, only Zhecheng may be able to try, but in a few days, the scouts only saw the Jizhou army supporting the city, heavily guarded, and did not see any soldiers and horses in and out, so they said that Yuan Cao had formed an alliance again, and Cao Cao refused to bring his thousands of soldiers and horses to charge for Yuan Shao."

"Burson has a point." She agreed.

"But with the current situation, if Cao Cao only wanted to delay the general's march, he did it."

…… This is also the reason why she can't chase Cao Cao.

Cao Cao always distanced ten miles and twenty miles from her, as soon as she turned around, he would run away, and it was an extreme waste of time to chase her, which made people suspect that this was Cao Cao's real purpose.

Everyone was discussing, and Zhang Liao continued to eat.

When he finished eating, he wiped his mouth and put the bowl down.

"When the snow stops, the army will go first, and I will lead a thousand cavalry to set up an ambush in Yangshan, if he really besieges with the Jizhou army, he will be made to throw away his armor and flee with the flag!"

In such a cold weather, it is indeed very suitable for eating some hot soup, but the food in Cao Cao's camp is even better than that of Lu Hangyu.

They eat antique soup.

Clever servants poured plates of dishes and thinly sliced meat into small copper pots, making one mouth-watering sound after another.

Some of them had been present in Lu Lian's camp, and had also been courteous in bringing pigs, sheep and wine, so they were very careful to laugh during the feast; There were also some of them that had never appeared in Lu Lian's camp, and their expressions were even more arrogant, and there was also a hint of scrutiny in their eyes when they looked at Cao Cao.

But apart from them, the young man sitting next to Cao Cao had a more grim expression, and he didn't even pick up the glass when Cao Cao raised the wine cup and motioned for everyone to drink it together.

"Cao Gong is clever," he said coldly, "Since the Battle of the White Horse, Cao Gong has not lost a single soldier, but the soldiers and horses in the army have been so majestic!" ”

Haoqiang and Zhuxia Hou Cao at the next place both changed their faces.

Cao Cao didn't have it at all, his expression looked extremely calm.

"It is worthy of being the son of Zhengnan," he said with a smile, "The loyal martyr is straightforward, and there is a festival that cannot be violated. ”

Such compliments did not make the young messenger flutter, and his gaze became more serious.

"How dare you make such a comment in front of Cao Gong?" He said, "I came from Yecheng in the next place, just for Cao Gong's words!" ”

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the dozens of scholars at the first place.

The person who sent him food and Lu Lian avoided his gaze, and the person who had never given Lu Lian a good face from beginning to end showed an excited look.

"Today, many families are here, Cao Gong might as well speak out!" Someone couldn't help but shouted loudly, "When will Gong Cao have a bloody battle with Lu Lian?" ”

Cao Cao looked around, still unmoved.

"Lu Lianguang's cavalry has three thousand......"

"In the next family is poor, often ashamed to be able to sit with the kings, today if Cao Gong has the heart to punish the thief, in the next wish to give a hundred good horses to the family!"

"I am also willing to repay the righteous army with my family!"

"I still have a few handfuls of rice at home, and I would like to take one and offer it to Cao Gong!"

The commotion seemed to roast Cao Cao on the fire.

But the hero's face was not embarrassed at all.

He stood up, looked condescendingly at his guests, and did not even give a single glance to the messenger sent by the judge, impassionedly, and with such a categorical slash:

"Accept your kindness, dare not be unsatisfied? Tomorrow the snow stops, and you will see that I am a land thief! ”
