Chapter 3: Shameless Villain

Shan Yu, the Xianbei soldier, felt that he had been deceived by Cao Ren, and it was a great deception, and in this battle against the Gunpowder Army, he even lost his two most beloved sons, which made this Shan Yu always on the verge of rage.

And when Cao Ren heard about the defeat of these Xianbei knights, he immediately began to worry about whether Yuan Yun would expose the matter to Cao Cao, so he was even angrier than that old Shan Yu, and scolded them in the camp for being a bunch of stupid beasts on horseback.

After returning to his camp, this Xianbei Shan Yu gathered all his subordinates overnight, and then took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on the endless Cao Ren camp, and the two sides suffered numerous casualties in this battle, and finally Xianbei Shan Yu returned with the rest of his army, and vowed not to die with the Central Plains Dynasty.

Looking at the chaotic camp that was impacted by the Xianbei knights, Cao Ren's face was very ugly, he knew very well what the consequences of this scene would bring, and now the end was obviously not guaranteed, he had just expelled these Xianbei people who raided, and the losses under his command were very huge, once the Karasuma people attacked at this time, it was likely to be the end of the entire army.

"I regret it at the beginning, the old man should really listen to Sima Gongzi's words, wait until Yuan Yun and his gang enter the Karasuma realm and then carry out a sneak attack, the old man is too eager, alas, now he is helpless." Cao Ren's whole face is distorted now, and the prestige he has built up over the years is no longer traceable, and all that remains is worry.

Sima Yi sighed secretly in his heart, looking at Cao Ren who looked like this, the intention of leaving had already risen in his heart, and he had told Cao Ren to die before, hoping that he would suspend the sneak attack on Yuan Yun, as long as Yuan Yun's gunpowder army went out of the city pass to the outside of the fortress, then there was Karasuma in front of him, and Xianbei pursued in the back, and it was difficult for the gods to rescue them.

However, after Cao Ren saw the combat strength of Xianbei's soldiers, he immediately made a decision, wanting to take advantage of Yuan Yun's unstable foothold on the road to the end and carry out a deadly sneak attack.

The so-called mud can't support the wall, and now everything is in vain, Sima Yi can only sigh, looking at Cao Ren in front of him, he just wants to leave quickly, Cao Ren is no longer worth relying on and supporting.

At present, the only thing that still has some hope is Cao Pi, the second son of Cao Fu, who is now above the Xu Du court, has some small achievements, and has been respected and recognized by many people.

Cao Ren wailed for a long time, and when he saw that Sima Yi didn't reply at all, he suddenly became even more discouraged, and muttered, "Sima Gongzi, can you still be saved this time?" ”

Sima Yi straightened his clothes, and then arched his hand: "General Cao Ren should retreat, and if he doesn't leave here, once the Karasuma cavalry comes, we won't even have the strength to resist." ”

Cao Ren was stunned, and then he was startled, and hurriedly shouted at several lieutenant generals: "Hurry up and integrate the team, we will withdraw now, and we can't stay here for a long time." ”

At the same time that several lieutenant generals were ordered to retreat, Sima Yi also left Cao Ren's barracks, and now he just wanted to quickly find an excuse, and then leave here, it was best to stay as far away from Cao Ren as possible, because this person is already a scourge now, and whoever is unlucky will be punished by Cao Cao.

After a while, Cao Ren finally integrated the remnants of the army, and then withdrew from Wuzhong, and Sima Yi also took this opportunity to leave Cao Ren's team, only saying that he would return to Yecheng first, so that Cao Ren could pave the way.

A few days later, Cao Cao finally received the flying pigeon message, only glanced at the content of the letter, began to shout and scold, the endless loss, equal to the entire right Beiping County is not stable, this Northern Expedition immediately became a disadvantage, and at the same time, those officials who have been opposed to the Northern Expedition in the DPRK and China rebounded again, this time the opposition was a little stronger than before, and some of the wall grass also stood on the side of opposition.

"Cao Ren, this old guy seems to be useless, for the sake of personal revenge, he even disregarded the overall situation, you look at what he did, instigating Xianbei people to sneak attack Yuan Yun, the sneak attack was not successful, and finally made such a big mess." When Cao Cao spoke, he was lying on the edge of the bed, with a wet towel on the door of his head, and this time Cao Ren's defeat made his headache attack again.

Bian Shi waited very carefully on the side, she didn't dare to say a word, because it was Cao Cao's study at the moment, and the periphery of the bed below was full of staff, all of whom were called to discuss Cao Ren's defeat this time.

Chen Qun didn't say a word at the moment, he knew very well what Cao Ren would face next, and he was more worried about himself, now that Cao Ren's big backer has fallen, it will inevitably cause a series of purges, which can already be expected, and as a member of Cao Ren who is very close to him, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape.

Xun You glanced at Chen Qun's face, and he began to worry, like Chen Qun, because Cao Ren was about to fall, there are definitely not a few people who have been implicated, if these people are panicked, I really don't know what they will do, it can be said that this Northern Expedition has not yet begun, and the Cao camp has begun to fall apart.

Thinking of this, Xun You finally gave up his hand and said: "The lord doesn't need to be too angry, General Cao Ren's defeat this time is completely his personal reason, even if he asks for the guilt, only Cao Ren is responsible, and the soldiers should be rewarded." ”

As soon as Xun You finished speaking, many people present were relieved, including Chen Qun, because Xun You's words were obviously to exonerate them, once Cao Cao nodded and agreed, then the person who was punished this time would only be limited to Cao Ren.

But even so, once Cao Ren falls, those of them who are close to Cao Ren, are still in a very embarrassing situation, because Cao Ren falls, it means that Cao Ang will rise more quickly, so even if he is not liquidated now, sooner or later this kind of unlucky day will still come.

Cheng Yu now has the same thoughts as Xun You, seeing that many people are still frowning, and he also sighs in his heart, these people seem to be really worried about their future, which means that nothing has been solved.

"Lord, after all, Cao Ren has followed the left and right from the beginning, and the punishment is too harsh, it will still chill people's hearts, so it is better to leave him alive." After Cheng Yu finished saying his suggestion, he smiled bitterly in his heart, although he was not from Cao Ang's side, but he never thought of saying good things for Cao Ren, but now the form is here, once Cao Ren falls, the impact is indeed very great, and he can only stand up and comfort in desperation.

Cao Cao looked at the two important advisers in front of him, they all said the same opinion, and immediately understood what they meant, and then glanced at the princes in the field, and couldn't help but flash a chill, Cao Ren was unlucky, these people closest to him didn't dare to speak out, and even asked Xun You and Cheng Yu to come out to solve the siege, which was a bit ridiculous.

After soothing his frowning brows a little, Cao Cao suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that it is time for Cao Ren, the old man to return to his hometown, since it is not possible to fight, let's go home and farm." ”

Speaking of which, Cao Cao observed the form of the field a little, and saw that many people began to smile, because as long as Cao Ren did not die, then they still had hope, and as long as this hope existed, then these people would not be able to mess up.

"Although Cao Ren has been defeated, it has not been all bad things recently, Cao Pi is now meritorious in Xu Dugong, and he already has some of the demeanor of the old man, so the old man is ready to play the Son of Heaven, promote Cao Pi to the left general, and lead Xu Du to hold Jinwu." Cao Cao said again, this sentence of praise for Cao Pi finally made many people, including Chen Qun, feel reassured, Cao Ren was not beheaded, and Cao Pi's son was also promoted to General Zuo, the ruling Jinwu of Xu Du, which immediately made the whole thing develop in a good direction.

As soon as Cao Cao finished saying this, all the princes present began to celebrate Cao Pi warmly, while Xun You and Cheng Yu were still sitting there lightly, with no joy or embarrassment on their faces, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with them.

Compared with Xun You and Cheng Yu's performance, some other people are very unhappy, these people are naturally on Cao Ang's side, such as Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan, but they have already received letters from Yuan Yun and Guo Jia, instructing them not to participate in this incident, no matter how Cao Ren is punished in the end, as long as they obey Cao Cao's fate.

At this moment, the atmosphere was finally not so stiff, Cao Cao also took off the wet cloth on his head at this moment, and then stood in the middle of the study, and then said seriously: "With the old man's order, in three days, all the left and right armies will be mobilized, and the old man will personally go out to fight against Karasuma!" In addition, send someone to send a letter to Xuanwei Hou Yuan Yun, and with him taking over Cao Ren's military power, waiting for an opportunity to move, it is bound to block the Karasuma cavalry from the end, and must not let it invade! ”

The meeting waited until Cao Cao issued countless orders, and finally began to end, Cao Cao could no longer see any displeasure on his face, and for Cao Ren's punishment, he did not show his tone at all, the only thing everyone can know is that Cao Ren will go into the wilderness, as for what kind of punishment he will receive when he returns, this is impossible to know.

Xun You and Cheng Yu still left together, and the two of them left Cao's mansion together, so they agreed to sit in Cheng Yu's frame together, the two just sat opposite each other, and then shook their heads with a wry smile, and then continued to be silent.

After a long while, Cheng Yu spoke up: "I don't know if such a result will make Yuan Hou feel mustard in his heart, after all, Cao Ren committed a capital crime this time, but he still escaped." ”

Xun You lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Yuan Hou should be fine, after all, Cao Ren can no longer be the same as before, if Yuan Hou wants to suppress it later, it will not be difficult, and we will treat it as if we didn't see it at that time." ”

Cheng Yu nodded, shook his head, and said, "Yuan Hou must be very unhappy in his heart, and the old man is worried that it will be bad if his heart is cold." ”

……

Yuan Yun was on a recliner, with a parasol on top of his head, his favorite boiled tea in his hand, and chewing crispy beef jerky in his mouth, completely looking like he was out on vacation.

Dian Man glanced at Yuan Yun wearing a big shorts and lying under the parasol, and immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, this is simply too unsightly, after beating Zhang Liao and going to other tanks, Yuan Yun has become like this, where is there a little handsome bearing.

Just wanted to persuade Yuan Yun to be more restrained, Dian Man saw Guo Jia again, just like Yuan Yun, wearing a big shorts with Yuan Fu characteristics, and then bare fat people in the sun, the two of them even talked and laughed, and their faces showed villains from time to time.

After seeing this, Dianman gave up his plan to continue walking, turned around and returned to his cabin, ready to be out of sight.

Guo Jia squinted at the Dianman who had already left, and immediately turned his head to Yuan Yun and smiled: "The little boy seems to be very dissatisfied with our outfit." ”

Although Yuan Yun heard Guo Jia's words, he didn't pay attention to it, but changed the topic and said, "Cao Ren is going home to farm, haha, this is a good thing." ”

Guo Jia was stunned and puzzled: "This time Cao Ren committed a capital crime, and the result was just to unload his armor and return to the field, isn't Yuan Hou unhappy?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth immediately rose a few points, and then he smiled: "Cao Sikong's letter is very clear, Cao Ren's military position and title have all been deprived, which is equivalent to becoming a white cloth, Lao Tzu has begun to ponder now, when the Northern Expedition is over, I will go to Cao Ren's house to sit, and then watch this old man kowtow to Ben Hou, haha, it makes people very relieved to think about it......

"Villain!" At the last moment of entering the cabin, Dian Man still heard Yuan Yun's laughter, and finally could only spit out three words.
