In the early morning, the sky is silent, the night is about to disappear, and the dawn of the morning slowly awakens the sleeping creatures.

Outside the window is the dense branches and leaves, thick, green, so comfortable, a meter of sunlight shining into the window, Cao Chong squinted, and quickly opened his eyes.

Cao Chong got up in a daze, as if he had forgotten something in his head.

Long!

Cao Chong slapped his head violently, but there was a tearing pain in his back.

Forgot about ...... I, Cao Chong, am still a wounded!

Under the service of the little maid, Cao Chong put on Confucian clothes, and the hair on his head was tied into the appearance of an adult, and most importantly, Cao Chong's tiger head shoes were gone!

It was changed to the shoe style of the sons of the world.

Double-pointed head square shoes!

In layman's terms, it is a cotton shoe, with a forked toe and a bottom woven with twine, which is called a double-pointed toe square shoe.

Although the style is the same, the material under Cao Chong's feet is obviously better than others, and although it is not as good as the casual shoes of later generations, it is not much worse.

After everything was ready, Cao Chong stepped out of the door, only to find that Xin Xianying was waiting outside early!

Xin Xianying was wearing the clothes of ordinary Xu Du women, and the clothes that others wore to show her fat seemed to wear a trace of charm on her.

Cao Chong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward, but his mouth was also joking about Xin Xianying.

"Madame, I heard yesterday that you said you were resting, but?"

Xin Xianying lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were a little fluttering, but her face was also red.

Xiu'er hurriedly walked out on the side.

"Master, Madame was tired yesterday, can you blame Madame!"

Cao Chong nodded noncommittally, but his body was closer to Xin Xianying, and his tone was already so low that only Xin Xianying could hear it.

"Madam, tonight, I want you to look good for my husband!"

Xin Xianying's face suddenly turned into a red apple, and she looked up at Cao Chong, but there was some stubbornness in her eyes.

"But husband, your injuries are not healed yet, my mother said, you must refrain from it!"

"In the end, am I your husband, or my mother is your husband, who do you want to listen to?"

Xin Xianying stomped her feet, and began to have some opinions about Cao Chong in her heart!

Hum!

Aren't you going to do that shameful thing tonight?

I'm going to make you look good!

"That's it, let's go see my father and mother first!" Cao Chong didn't know the little Jiujiu in Xin Xianying's heart, if he knew, he probably wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

"Yes!" Xin Xianying gave Cao Chong a slight blessing, and Cao Chong took half a step short and followed behind him.

But as soon as Cao Chong arrived at Mrs. Huan's residence, he found that something was wrong.

Specifically, there is no Cao Cao in the room!

This is not scientific!

It stands to reason that this is a ceremony to receive a bride!

"Mother, what about father?"

Mrs. Huan first doted on Xin Xianying to her side, looked at Xin Xianying carefully, and directly ignored Cao Chong!

Cao Chong's face suddenly darkened, wouldn't he just marry a daughter-in-law, as for this?

Cao Chong didn't know Xin Xianying's influence in Xu Du, especially in the circle of noblewomen.

To put it simply, Xin Xianying is the representative of a good daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Huan can have such a daughter-in-law, and she also has face in front of other women, so she naturally loves Xin Xianying very much.

"Mother?"

Mrs. Huan finally set her sights on Cao Chong's side.

But she didn't speak to Cao Chong, but took Xin Xianying's hand and slapped it.

"Xianying, it's not that the lord has any opinion on you, it's really an urgent military matter, so you have to take the first step."

Xin Xianying smiled and behaved meticulously.

"Where is the mother, the old man is busy every day, what is the opinion of Xianying?"

When Mrs. Huan saw Xin Xianying answer like this, her smile became even bigger!

Sure enough, she is a good daughter-in-law, and having such a daughter-in-law is really a blessing that I have accumulated in my previous life!

Cao Chong was not jealous of Xin Xianying, but his expression began to change!

Urgent military affairs?

At this time, so urgent military affairs, only in one place, can alarm Cao Cao!

Freshno!

No!

Cao Chong's eyes flickered, but his heart sank suddenly.

And one more place!

Xiangyang!

Could it be that Xu Shu and their mission failed?

……

……

Syllable!

Cao Cao violently threw the bamboo slip in his hand and sighed violently.

Xun and Xun You glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the bamboo slip, but after looking at it for a short time, Xun's eyes widened.

"This, this ......" Xun You was dumbfounded, and couldn't even speak for a while!

Tens of thousands of troops, a few thousand left?

This is the biggest defeat in 10 years!

"Lord, this ......" Xun You turned his gaze to Cao Cao.

"What is this, since the battle has been lost, there is nothing more to say, go, call the Taizhong doctors and military advisors, it's time to formulate some military strategies!"

Xun Yuxun glanced at each other, and they all saw a touch of shock!

My lord, are you going to go on the expedition immediately?

After a while, Cao Cao's strategists all arrived at the Shangshutai lobby, and they were vaccinated by Xun in advance, so their faces were generally not particularly good-looking.

"Everyone, everything is known, what to do, you give me a charter!"

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows, his old eyes were slightly cold, but he took the first step and stood up.

"Lord, the minister has something to say!"

Cao Cao's eyes glanced at Jia Xu, but he didn't think so.

This Taizhong doctor, I guess he persuaded me not to go south!

"Lord, this defeat will greatly damage the morale of our army, Liu Bei, Liu Cong, and Sun Quan will inevitably increase their morale.

Cao Cao's brows were furrowed, but his tone was very unkind.

"The doctor's words are to persuade the prime minister to withdraw from the army and extinguish the heart of the southern expedition?"

Jia Xu shook his head, which made Cao Cao surprised.

What are you doing, old horseman?

"The minister's intention is not to retreat, but to attack!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao waved his hand and motioned for Jia Xu to continue.

"Our army is decadent, so we must kill the morale, otherwise, when the lord goes south, the morale will not be used!"

Cao Cao understood what Jia Xu meant, but he chose to remain silent.

"But anyone else has a plan?"

Cheng Yu looked around, glanced at Cao Cao again, stepped forward, and said: "Lord, the matter of losing the battle should be let go first, the first priority now is Xu Shu!"

Xun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to echo.

"Yes, Xu Shu's persuasion to surrender is indeed more important than defeat!"

Persuasion?

Cao Cao groaned, it should have been a matter of course for Xu Shu to persuade him to surrender, but now, things are different!

Tens of thousands of troops were killed by Liu Bei, Liu Bei's momentum was great, and on the side, the weakness of Cao's army was supported.

It turns out that you Cao Mengde are not tigers, nor are you something you can't deal with!

Then why should I surrender? Wouldn't it be better to be your own boss?
