Walking into Pengcheng, there is far from the lively scene imagined, and the pedestrians on the bluestone-paved main road are deserted. The autumn wind was howling, blowing up a lot of dry thatch, and there was a desolation and depression everywhere.

In order to avenge his father, Cao Cao marched east and attacked Xuzhou.

Along the way, several cities were slaughtered, and the defenders from all over Xuzhou were killed after surrendering. In addition, hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians did not escape the doom, and were killed by Cao Cao, and Surabaya was not shed.

The tragedy of this killing incident is no less than that of Xiang Yu, Bai Qi and others who killed the other party's soldiers in the past. Cao Cao not only killed the common people, but also their chickens and dogs.

At that time, there were almost no people in Xuzhou, and no chickens and dogs could be heard.

The people of Xuzhou naturally hated Cao Cao very much, and at first they learned that he was stationed in Pengcheng, and almost no one was willing to come to him, which was simply desolate and miserable.

It was not until later that Cao Cao issued a letter of guilt, repented to the people for his mistakes in the past, repented of his mistakes, and made many decrees to benefit the people, which made Pengcheng gradually regain some vitality.

After inquiring about the location of the county government, Liu Wei walked here with Chenlong.

At the entrance of the county government, next to the stone lion at the bottom of the stairs, there were four Cao soldiers guarding here.

Seeing that Liu Wei wanted to climb the ladder, the four of them immediately set up weapons and stopped him, and shouted: "Stop! Who are you? Don't look at what kind of place this is, is it something that you and other small people can trespass! If you don't want to die, just get away from Lao Tzu! ”

Hearing this, the white-shirted man standing behind Liu Wei had cold eyes, a ghostly figure, and two arrows stepped forward, and before he could see how he moved, one of them was hit in the abdomen by him, and the pale yellow bitter bile water erupted from his mouth, and then the whole person was paralyzed like mud.

At the same time, the man quickly swung sideways, and slammed his fist upwards on the chin of a person next to him, driving his entire body to soar into the air, and after rotating seven hundred and twenty degrees in the air, he fell heavily to the ground, and without even saying a word, he passed out directly.

The remaining two were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they were almost about to hold the weapon in their hands unsteadily, and their hearts were terrified: where did this monster come from, it was not a level of combat power at all!

"Chenlong."

Seeing that the man was still about to make a move, Liu Wei shouted lightly.

When the man in the moon-white shirt heard this, he spared the remaining two and retreated behind Liu Wei, with an indifferent expression in his eyes, as if nothing had happened just now.

The first time he came to Pengcheng as a guest, Liu Wei didn't want to provoke trouble, and he didn't want to slap Cao Cao's face and make both sides unhappy.

"Go and tell Cao Mengde, just say that the old man is visiting."

Liu Wei said lightly, playing with the white jade wrench on his thumb, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

The remaining two soldiers had long since lost their initial arrogance, and they didn't dare to delay for half a minute, so they ran and climbed along the stone stairs and went straight to the mansion to report.

At this time, Cao Cao was holding his chin and studying the future development strategy in the lobby.

According to the latest news, Lü Bu personally led the army across the Turbid River and stationed in Puyang, and ordered Liyi to train recruits in Fanyang.

According to this calculation, at least for a year and a half, Lu Bu should not take care of Xuzhou.

In this way, Cao Cao was given a chance to breathe, and he could also make good use of this time to recuperate and recuperate. Lü Bu took Yanzhou from him, and Cao Cao naturally wanted to recapture it with his own hands.

"Lord, there are two strangers outside, claiming to be your old friends, saying that they want to see you." The soldier ran into the hall and shouted anxiously.

"Have you ever reported your name?" Cao Cao's eyes were taken away from the bamboo slips, but he did not look up, picked up the pen from the side, and made a simple mark on the bamboo slips.

"No, but the two looked young and dressed in ordinary clothes. The younger one was in his early twenties, and the older one was supposed to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and it was very powerful, and it hurt both of us brothers in an instant. The soldier shook his head and continued to report very sincerely.

Could it be that the sons and nephews of some family came from elsewhere and came to join him?

Cao Cao thought for a moment in his heart, waved his hand and ordered: "Let them come in and see me." ”

The soldier's face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "That person refuses, saying that you have to go and invite you personally." ”

"You want me to please?"

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, in this way, it should not be the son and nephew of the family.

According to the soldiers, one of them has good skills, could it be that God took pity on Cao and sent me a general?

Cao Cao was overjoyed in his heart, immediately stopped the pen and ink in his hand, stood up suddenly, and ordered the soldier: "Go, take me to see where it is sacred." ”

Cao Cao strode out of the mansion, and Dian Wei, whose body was like an iron tower, followed behind Cao Cao and walked together.

"General Cao, I haven't seen you for many years, but do you remember it?" Liu Wei also took the initiative to step up the stone stairs at this moment and bowed to Cao Cao with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency is ......"

Cao Cao looked this person up and down, only to feel that his appearance looked a little familiar. Intuition also told Cao Cao that he should have seen this person before, but after searching in his mind, he couldn't remember where he thought about it.

Behind him, the young man in the moon white shirt followed closely, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he should be a subordinate person.

"Coincidentally, I have the same surname as today's son, and they are also the same clan. I remember when I first met General Cao, you were still one of the eight lieutenants set up by the emperor - the lieutenant of the military academy. It's been a long time......"

Recalling the past, the young man said with emotion.

In an instant, an impossible answer flashed through Cao Cao's mind.

He stared at the slightly sly face in front of him, looking at it over and over again, lest he be half wrong. But the more I look at it, the more similar it becomes to the person I think in my heart.

Seeing the end, the expression on Cao Cao's face had changed from calm to shock, and his little eyes were also wide, several times more surprised than when he learned that Cao Ren had died in battle.

"You are!"

Cao Cao almost blurted out.

Fortunately, Liu Wei waved his hand in time, interrupted Cao Cao's surprised words, and said to him with a smile: "General Cao, there are many people outside, don't you want to invite you to sit in the mansion?" ”

Cao Cao came back to his senses, only then did he realize that he had lost his manners, and hurriedly bent down and bowed, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and used honorifics between his words: "You invite first." ”

"In this way, it is better to obey your fate than to be respectful." Liu Wei said with a smile, and he was not polite, and raised his legs and stepped up the stone stairs.

Cao Cao accompanied him, and the two walked into the county government back and forth.

Looking at the distant figure of the lord, the remaining two soldiers carried away the two who had fainted, and said in fragments: "Brother, it's not that our brothers don't want to be angry with you, our lord doesn't dare to speak loudly in front of that kid, you seem to have suffered in vain this beating......"
