Liu Bei entered Xingyang, put out fires, soothed the people, and quelled civil strife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When everything was almost sorted out, he was about to send someone Pegasus to report to Cao Cao and ask him to go to Xingyang together to discuss the matter of entering the Tiger Prison. But suddenly a guard came to report, and a messenger came from Aocang. Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then brought the Ao Cang messenger in with his personal guards.

After the messenger of Ao Cang visited Liu Bei, he presented a letter and said respectfully: "Liu Junhou, my lord sent a letter here for me. ”

Liu Bei looked at it, Cao Cao wrote, took it apart and took a look, it turned out that Cao Cao ran away: "Brother Xuande, since I led the army, the defeat of Ao Cang is unforgettable." Today, the morale of the sergeants in our army is low, and the soldiers have no desire to fight...... The battle of Aocang, Xu Rong was defeated and retreated, and Yuting and Aocang were lost, and they must have no fighting spirit, I expected Xingyang to go down soon, so Xiahou Miaocai stayed in the town of Aocang, and the brother led the three generals to return to the sour jujube alone, and wanted to say goodbye to Yuncheng and so on, and returned to Yangzhou to recruit troops. Wait for my brother to recruit warriors, the military power will be restored, and then I will help Xuande......"

After Liu Bei finished reading the letter, he let out a long sigh, and between the lines, although Cao Cao was interested in hiding, all kinds of unwillingness still jumped on the paper. Such a proud guy, such a strong guy, will he come back?

Yuan Shao was in Hanoi, and Wang Kuang led troops to resist Dong Zhuo, fought several small battles, and lost again and again. Then the man became passive, and drank every day to dispel his sorrows. When Wang Kuang saw this, he burned all the inside, but he couldn't. It happened that because of the repeated battles, the army food accumulated in Hanoi was exhausted, so Wang Kuang wanted to go to the base camp of sour jujube to raise food, and by the way, he asked for reinforcements. The great cause of destroying Dong cannot be abandoned halfway. So he led a thousand soldiers and went straight to the sour dates.

Cao Cao traveled all the way to the night, thinking hard about ways to strengthen the army and strengthen himself along the way. Until the sour dates, stop. Cao Cao saw when he arrived at the sour date, the princes allied tens of thousands of troops, but they were stationed here to sit and eat the empty mountains, while the princes continued to feast and drink every day, and the strings and songs were endless. At this moment, the anger in my heart soared to the sky. Okay, Lao Tzu fought for life and death in the front, the army was lost, and his life was almost lost, you bastards are greedy for pleasure in the back? It's really not enough to conspire with it.

The princes welcomed Cao Cao in, and above the banquet, where did Cao Cao have the heart to enjoy, the wine and meat were still tasteless, and he was angry in his heart, so he said bluntly: "If the princes listen to my plan, let the Bohai Sea lead the people of Hanoi to Mengjin, and the sour jujube generals will guard Chenggao, according to Aocang, Saiyuyuan, Taigu, and all control its risks; So that General Yuan led the army of Nanyang to Dan, analyze, and enter the military pass, so as to obey and punish the rebellion, and it can be established. Today's soldiers move with righteousness, hold doubts and do not advance, lose the hope of the world, and steal for the shame of all kings! ”

Everyone in the audience listened to it one by one, and suddenly their faces were like frost, and they were not happy now, in terms of identity, in terms of official position, which of the people here is not as good as you Cao Cao? Cao Cao, you have the position of a martial general, and now that the army is gone, and there is no territory, which one will look at you? For the sake of the past, I kindly invited you to a banquet, but you didn't know what to do and what was wrong?

The princes' faces were not good-looking, and all the banquet was quiet for a while, and then a voice sounded: "The general of the defeated army, also dare to speak up about the general trend of the world?" ”

Cao Cao looked at it, it was Wang Kuang. Wang Kuang actually didn't want to target Cao Cao, he came to sour dates for many days, and it was good to raise food because there was an alliance leader Yuan Shao in front of him, everyone didn't say anything, and immediately met his request, but asking for reinforcements was a two-person haha. Just kidding, they didn't know that Wang Kuang was beaten by Dong Zhuo in front of him. Will you go to your death? Wang Kuang begged for many days, and said all the good things, but he got nothing. Today's banquet, I was depressed, and when I saw Cao Cao talking eloquently, somehow, my heart was full of anger, maybe I had found a place to vent my bad mood for many days, so I ridiculed him.

When Cao Cao saw Wang Kuang like this, he retorted: "Since the fight against Dong, I am the only one who will be the general of the defeated army? "By implication, don't forget yourself!

This is good, a knife stabbed Wang Kuang's heart, this hurts. Therefore, don't expose the short. Wang Kuang immediately jumped like thunder and scolded: "The people who are eyed by the rats, you are defeated by the will of heaven!" Not with Benchutun Hanoi, but with Liu Bei's children, climbing scales and wings, humming, how can there be no reason to be undefeated? ”

This is good, even Liu Bei scolded him, Liu Bei was simply shot inexplicably. When Cao Cao heard this, he was also furious, his temper was not good, so he stood up as soon as he took a moment, pointed his sword at Wang Kuang, and scolded: "Pifu'an dares to insult me? ”

Wang Kuang also got up and pulled his sword and said, "What if you insult you?" ”

The princes were dumbfounded, a good banquet was about to kill people. Originally, the princes who had listened to them scolding the war were still secretly cool, and they hurriedly got up one by one, you persuade Wang Kuang, I persuade Cao Cao, one by one, soft-spoken, harmonious, from the righteousness of the world to the old feelings, anyway, from all aspects, everyone is a small partner, don't be angry about this loss of words. It's not worth hurting feelings.

In fact, the princes can't do it, this is really a fight, if it is not good, the city gate will be on fire, and the pond fish will be affected, in case these two guys can kill sex, and their hands will slip for a while, and it will be over......

Seeing that everyone was persuading, Cao Cao was embarrassed, so he had to snort angrily and leave the tent. Seeing that Cao Cao was gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, what is it, clean up, sing and dance.

Cao Cao left the big tent, his heart was angry, he clenched his fists, and once again felt the importance of power in this troubled world, if he had ten thousand tigers in his hands, who would dare to do this? However, Wang Kuangpifu, if you insult me like this today, you will not be spared.

So Cao Cao returned to the camp and told the generals about this, and all the generals were furious, bowed to the ground, and said: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and is willing to die with Wang Kuang!" ”

Cao Cao saw that everyone was united, and the army's heart was available, and he was very relieved. Sidao, there are such loyal people, no matter how big the world is, where can they go, but they stay in this bird place and get angry?

So he led the army out of the camp and went to fight outside Wang Kuang's camp. Wang Kuangde's Cao Cao led the troops to the camp, and suddenly the wine woke up for a few points, he actually regretted it in his heart, but unfortunately the matter has come to this, and he can't do anything about it. Seeing that Cao Cao was unforgiving, he was also angry in his heart, Cao Cao, Cao Cao, you think too highly of yourself, I am defeated, and I am also defeated by Dong Zhuo. Shall I lose to you?

So he also entered the camp to lead troops, wanting to fight Cao Cao.

The princes tried to persuade each other to no avail. So I no longer persuade, but watched with interest on the side, let's fight, anyway, I've been here for a long time, and there's nothing exciting. Let them fight, and everyone can watch the fun. Anyway, they don't have many soldiers. However, thinking so, everyone still transferred their own soldiers and protected themselves. so as not to go off.

Wang Kuang and Cao Cao are old acquaintances, but now that they have torn their faces, there is no need to say more. The two of them said a few cruel words in the formation, and then rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

There were hundreds of people in Cao Cao's headquarters, and Wang Kuang came to transport grain, bringing a little more, more than 1,000 people, and this dozen, the gap came out. Although Cao Cao's soldiers are few, the three generals are all their own family members, and the soldiers are also big waves and sands, following Cao Cao's loyal henchmen from birth to death, and working hard to die one by one, this combat effectiveness is invisibly high. On the other hand, Wang Kuang, these thousand soldiers came to transport grain, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

As a result, after a while, he was beaten by Cao Cao and couldn't find the north. The princes originally wanted to gather around to watch the excitement, who would have thought that the winner would be decided so soon. Seeing Cao Cao's ability, and then remembering that Cao Cao had lost to the Liangzhou soldiers, the princes' hearts became colder and colder......

Cao Jun jumped down the mountain like a tiger, unstoppable; But the king's army retreated again and again, and then the whole army was scattered. Wang Kuang was in the formation, so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he was helpless.

Finally, Cao Cao approached Wang Kuang, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Wang Kuang, who is the general of the defeated army?" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Kuang's face turned red, ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't say a word. Cao Cao raised his head, laughed, and finally glanced at Wang Kuang with disdain, and then led his troops to leave.

After Cao Cao left, Wang Kuang suddenly screamed, a mouthful of blood spurted far away, and then fell to the ground and passed out. That night, Wang Kuang died of hemoptysis.

When Cao Cao learned of this result, he was immediately stupid. Although he and Wang Kuang fought, he didn't want Wang Kuang's life. Regardless of their old knowledge, they are still allies. This is a good thing, Dong Zhuo did not defeat him, but forced a heavyweight ally to death. And this ally is still a rare one in the allies who insists on seeking Dong......

I don't kill Beren, but Beren will die because of me. Cao Cao sighed, knowing that this time the sour dates would not be able to stay, and if it was not good, he would have been offended at the beginning.

Sure enough, when he came to mourn on the second day, the princes' faces were not good-looking. Although this was an accident, this accident was caused by you Cao Cao after all. It's all said that you should be angry and don't take it seriously, but it has to be like this, okay, are you happy when people die?

Cao Cao felt ashamed in his heart, and he couldn't stand the eyes of everyone, this big camp couldn't stay for a day. So in the afternoon, he asked the princes to resign, saying that he wanted to go to Yangzhou to recruit troops. The princes have no one to take care of him, you can go wherever you like, as long as you don't come to sour dates.

When Cao Cao was leaving, only Bao Xin and Zhang Miao came to see him off. Bao Xin comforted Cao Cao and said: "Meng De, people can't be resurrected after death, don't think about it too much, the public festival is strong, and it is easy to break if it is too rigid, so you can't blame it for this." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes were slightly sour, and he looked at Bao Xin and thought, good brother, you still understand me.

Bao Xin sighed again: "Meng De, I see that the hearts of the people in the alliance are scattered, and each has a ghost, and it is expected that this alliance will soon be dispersed." After you recruit troops in Yangzhou, don't come to sour dates for the time being, and wait and see what happens. ”

All kinds of heartfelt words made Cao Cao keep nodding and remembering them one by one. In the end, Bao Xin gave Cao Cao the money and food he could mobilize, which made Cao Cao grateful.

Zhang Miao didn't say anything else, just let Cao Cao cherish it all the way. However, Cao Cao had other ideas, his eyes rolled, and he said: "Meng Zhuo, I am going to Yangzhou, the road is far away, the soldiers are few and there are few generals, now in troubled times, it is not the age of peace, along the way, there will be incidents, I see that there is a warrior under Meng Zhuo's account, known as evil, Meng Zhuo will send it to me, let him protect me to Yangzhou south, how about it?" ”

Where is Zhang Miao willing, Cao Cao played the bitter card again: "Brother Meng Zhuo, you are here, there is no war, and I also ask Brother Meng Zhuo to take pity on me running around for the country, a lot of hard work, give him to protect my safety, and when I return from recruitment, how about returning it to my brother?" ”

Zhang Miao is not a fool, he knows that this person has gone, where can he come back. It's a pity that Cao Cao pretended to be pitiful and soft-spoken, and talked about everything, if he didn't agree again, wouldn't he seem cold? I had to sigh and give up.
