Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to the camp, and hurriedly found a doctor to treat Xiahoudun.

After a long time, Cao Cao saw the doctor come out of Xiahoudun's tent, and hurriedly asked, "How is Yuan Rang's injury?" ”

The doctor replied: "Although the lord is relieved, although Lord Xiahou is seriously injured, he has saved his life, but his left eye cannot be saved...... However, Lord Xiahou was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and in the army, I am afraid that it is not suitable for recuperation, and I hope that the lord will make a decision. ”

"Dian Wei!" Cao Cao immediately turned his head and shouted to Dian Wei beside him.

"The last general!" Dian Wei replied with a fist.

Cao Cao said: "Go and select a hundred elite sergeants and escort Yuan Rang back to Puyang to recuperate!" ”

"Whoa!"

Dian Wei answered, turned around and left.

Cao Cao lifted the curtain of the tent and walked straight in, and saw Xiahoudun lying on the couch in a coma, his left eye, although it had been bandaged, was soaked with blood.

He walked to the side of the bed and looked at the dying Xiahoudun, his eyes were filled with crystal tears, and his heart revealed his pity for Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun can be said to be Cao Cao's earliest team, and he was a friend when he was young, and it is precisely because of the sworn death of Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, these old friends and cousins, that he can go all the way to today.

Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong are like Cao Cao's hands and feet, Cao Ren is dead, Cao Cao feels like he has lost an arm, he doesn't want anything to happen to Xiahoudun.

Over the years, although Cao Cao and Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong are masters and servants, they are all called brothers in private, especially after Cao Ren died, Cao Cao paid more attention to Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but in Cao Cao's view, it is not to the sad place, once it is sad, the man's tears are like springs.

In the whole big tent, Cao Cao was the only one, he stood quietly beside Xiahoudun, silently watching Xiahoudun, tears came out of his eyes, and soybean-like tears dripped down his cheeks.

After a while, Cao Cao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, squirmed his lips, and said softly to Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, this arrow of revenge, I will definitely make Lu Bu repay it twice!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong broke in, and saw Cao Cao standing beside Xiahoudun, did not speak, but walked over quietly, standing beside Cao Cao, but his eyes were fixed on Xiahoudun who was lying on the couch and lost his left eye.

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are cousins, seeing Xiahou Yuan like this, he lost another eye, his mood was terrible, and his eye sockets were already moist, but he held back his tears, and immediately clenched his fists and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, please allow me to lead the troops and horses of my headquarters to attack the city, and I will let Lu Bu pay for his blood debts!" ”

"Lord, I am willing to go with Miaocai, I have to shoot Lu Bu's two eyes!" Cao Hong also hugged his fists.

Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun quietly and didn't say a word.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't speak, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong said in unison: "Lord, as long as you give an order, we will go to avenge Yuan Rang!" ”

After a long time, Cao Cao squirmed his lips, and there was a tremor in his voice, and he said softly: "Do you think I don't want to avenge Yuan Rang?" I and Yuan Rang, as well as the two of you, are as close as brothers, the former Zixiao was first captured by Zhang Yan, and then transferred to Yuan Shu's hands, and was brutally killed by Yuan Shu, do you know how I felt when I got the news? Since Zixiao's death, I feel like I'm missing an arm, and now that Yuan Rang was almost shot to death by Lu Bu, I don't want you to miss any more......"

"But the lord, since we have followed the lord, we are ready to die for the lord, as long as the lord can live well, it is not a pity for me to die!" Xiahou Yuan said sharply.

"You are all my right-hand men, and if you leave one after another, I will be like a disability, and sooner or later I will be swallowed up by others. Yuan Rang's revenge, I will avenge him, but not now, you all give me a calmer, within three days, I will break Lu Bu, and I will teach him to pay for his blood debts! When Cao Cao said this, the voice behind him became more and more severe, mixed with strong hatred.

At this time, Dian Wei walked in from outside the tent, hugged his fists towards Cao Cao and said, "Lord, everyone has been arranged, and you can set off at any time!" ”

"The matter is urgent, let them escort Yuan Rang to Puyang tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night!" Cao Cao said.

"Whoa!"

Subsequently, Dian Wei asked Xiahoudun to be lifted out of the coma and put it in a carriage, and Cao Cao instructed the hundred soldiers to send Xiahoudun to Puyang to recuperate in the starry night.

After sending Xiahoudun away, Cao Cao returned to his tent and ordered Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu to be called over to discuss countermeasures overnight.

Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu arrived at Cao Cao's tent one after another, and saw Cao Cao's gloomy face, sullen, and tear stains on his face, and the three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"The three of you are here just in time, please take a seat!" Cao Cao said loudly.

Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu sat down separately and said in unison: "I don't know what happened when the lord called me to come?" ”

Cao Cao said: "The three of them are my brains, now that Lu Bu has shot and injured Xiahoudun, our army is not in a good position, and the coalition army of Lu Bu and Zhang Yan is still in Dingtao City, I want to ask, do the three of you have any strategies to break the enemy?" ”

Xun You immediately said: "Lord, I have a plan, or I may capture Dingtao, but it's just ......."

Cao Cao saw that Xun You was a little worried, so he asked sharply, "Just what?" But it doesn't hurt to speak, I forgive you for your innocence! ”

Xun You hesitated for a moment, and finally said his plan.

After Cao Cao heard this, hahadaxiao said: "Gongda, such a clever plan, don't say that it is to let Xiahou Yuan let him cheat to death, even if I let me cheat to death, I am also a hundred willing!" ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu also admired Xun You's clever plan, and immediately hugged their fists and said: "Lord, with Xun Gongda's clever plan, it will be easy to seize Dingtao!" ”

Cao Cao gradually stopped laughing and said: "You can't talk too much, Gongda's strategy, in my opinion, is indeed a clever plan, but in the process of implementation, whether it can play a role depends on whether Lu Bu and Zhang Yan take the bait." Moreover, this plan requires the cooperation of many parties, and it must be perfect, and must not leave any clues to the enemy, let alone let the enemy have a trace of suspicion, only in this way can our army capture Dingtao and avenge Yuan Rang! ”

"The lord is wise, we will do our best to assist the lord!" Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu shouted in unison.

So, Cao Cao gathered all the generals above Sima in the general army that night, and after some arrangements, everyone threw themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Xun Yu admired.

That night, the Cao army camp was lifeless, but in the Tao city, it was singing and laughing, Lu Bu shot an arrow blind Xiahou Dan, and under the blow of the wolf cavalry, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Cao army were defeated and fled, Lu Bu thought that this was a big victory, so he held a big banquet in the city.

In the hall, Zhang Yan and Lu Butong sat in the top position, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and others on the left lined up, and on the right sat Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Niu Jin, and Xu Sheng.

In front of everyone, there were sumptuous drinks and dishes, everyone was happy, and Lu Bu was even more happy.

Zhang Yan had no meaning to Lu Bu's bravery, but Cao Cao's sudden withdrawal was not because he was afraid of Lu Bu, but because Xiahoudun was blinded by Lu Bu.

Everyone in the hall was elated, but Zhang Yan was worried, he was thinking, at this moment, in the Cao military camp, I don't know what happened.

The story of Xiahoudun's "pulling out the arrow" was seen by Zhang Yan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and he clearly remembered that the person who shot Xiahoudun was a member of Lu Bu's tent, named Cao Xing.

It's a pity that with his arrival, the trajectory of history has already changed, and even the protagonist in the story of "Pulling Out the Arrow" has changed from Cao Xing to Lu Bu.

However, in Zhang Yan's opinion, Lu Bu has the ability to shoot Xiahoudun blindly, he saw it clearly in the city tower at that time, Lu Bu's every move, he was paying close attention, and Lu Bu's courage also made him shudder.

Lu Bu skillfully switched back and forth between Fang Tian's halberd and the bow and arrow, the whole action was done in one go, there was no feeling of dragging mud and water at all, not only did one arrow blind Xiahoudun, but the second arrow also shot over like a shadow, if it wasn't for Cao Hong appearing in time and blocking that arrow, Xiahoudun would have already died.

Now, in Cao's military camp, Xiahoudun, who was so seriously injured, is still unknown.

Zhang Yan is very hopeful that Xiahoudun will die, in this way, Cao Cao will have one less general, Xiahoudun is a right-hand man for Cao Cao, once Xiahoudun is lost, Cao Cao is like losing an arm.

Last time, Cao Ren died indirectly in his hands, he had already cut off one of Cao Cao's arms, if Xiahou Tang died at this moment, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Cao Jun.

At the banquet, Lu Bu and the others were very happy, and Lu Bu's subordinates even praised Lu Bu and flew into the sky. But Zhang Yan always maintained a calm heart, and although Xiahou was dying, it was a huge blow to Cao Jun, but it did not affect Cao Jun's overall combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, the death of Xiahoudun may have stimulated the morale of Cao Jun. Those who make good use of it can turn grief into liliang and increase morale, and those who do not use it well can only make the morale of soldiers gradually low.

The other party's commander is Cao Cao, this is a very famous military strategist in history, in Zhang Yan's view, Cao Cao will not miss such an opportunity, and will definitely make a big fuss about Xiahoudun's body, stimulate morale, inspire soldiers, and turn grief into liliang, so as to achieve the goal of mourning the victory of the soldiers.

For this reason, Zhang Yan deliberately borrowed urine to escape, and called Xu Sheng out together, and asked Xu Sheng to send scouts to Cao Jun's camp to monitor Cao Jun's every move and report to him at any time.
