Looking at Xun Yu's disapproving expression, Cao Cao said solemnly: "If this is wrong. Lu Bu is the best in the world, and he has never been in his eyes, but in front of Li Thief, he is a different face, consciously restraining his heart, without a trace of arrogance, and seems to be very afraid of Li Thief.

Looking at the world, there are many brave generals, but there are very few generals who can enter the eyes of Li Thief and be greatly praised by him. But Lu Bu was called 'Tiger by Li Thief', what is a Tiger, brave and fierce, unruly, and uncontrollable big insects. Everyone in the world thought that Li Thief's words were intended to praise Lu Bu's bravery, but they didn't know the deep meaning of it.

Don't you hear that if you don't die if you fight a tiger, you will be injured by a tiger? It can be seen from this that Li Thief's words are so sinister! ”

"Ugh!" Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said respectfully: "What the lord said is extremely true. Li Thief's words are indeed beautiful words at first glance, but under the careful taste, there is a hidden evil intention, and it is extremely sinister. ”

Speaking of this, Xun Yu sneered: "The tiger of the world is extremely fierce, and no one can control it; Once you fight a tiger, you must kill it, otherwise you will suffer from it. This sentence is to remind me that Lu Bu has now been besieged in Dongjun, and we must not let the tiger return to the mountain, so as to capture it and kill him here. I don't know if the lord mentioned this at this time, did he mean to kill Lu Bu? ”

"Well, that's exactly what I mean." Cao Cao bowed slightly.

However, before the words fell, Cao Cao frowned, his eyes were ervirate, and his expression was quite worried.

"If you want to kill Lu Bu. How easy is it to say? This thief is extremely brave, with a halberd in his hand and a red rabbit under his crotch. If he wants to go, no one in our army can stop him. At present, Zixiao and Zilian have joined forces to fight against Lu Bu, fighting fiercely for more than 80 rounds, but they still can't help him. Looking at this posture, there are more than a dozen rounds, and I am afraid that Lu Bu will be able to turn the tide of the battle and defeat Zixiao and the three of them one by one. Once Lu Bu defeated the three of Zixiao. Although our army has many soldiers and horses, no one can defeat Lu Bu. If he is allowed to return to the wolf cavalry, he will be like the king of the wolves. Since then, our army's war cavalry is probably not the opponent of the wolf cavalry, and it will definitely be defeated. What can such a fierce enemy do? It's a pity. Yuan Rang and Miaocai were all killed. If there is one person here, why fear Lu Bu? ”

When he said the last two sentences, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, and suddenly looked melancholy, his eyes were lonely, and he was stunned.

After Xun Yu heard this, his expression darkened, and he had kind words to persuade Cao Cao. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't hold back.

As Cao Cao said, if the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were still alive. These two can fight against Lu Bu, and with the help of Cao Ren and Cao Hong, they will definitely be able to kill Lu Bu. A year ago, Cao Cao's generals gathered, and the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were called Cao Cao's right-hand men; But whenever there is a war, these four people can take on heavy responsibilities, invincible, and rarely lose. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Cao Cao was able to rise rapidly and become a very powerful princely force among the princes of the Central Plains is that these four people have contributed a lot. It's a pity that the Xiahou brothers have been dead for a long time, and after Cao Hong was released back by Li Li, he seemed to have been hit hard and became submissive, far less brave and fearless than before.

In addition, there are not a few generals of the Cao army who fell into the hands of Li Li or died directly under the sword of the Xiliang generals. Li Dian and Yu Ban fell into the hands of Li Li one after another, and Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and other Cao army generals added up to hundreds of people, all of whom died under the sword of the Xiliang generals.

Today, although there are still many generals under Cao Cao's command, there are only a few who can really be called capable generals. At least most of the generals can't be compared with Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers, and there are only a handful of generals like Li Dian and Yu Ban who are strict with themselves and lenient with others, and are deeply loved by soldiers.

Therefore, the grudge between Cao Cao and Xiliang Li Li is very deep, and it is intolerable. Fortunately, Cao Cao is magnificent, broad-minded, and will not ignore the overall situation because of personal enmity and resentment. This is exactly what Xun Yu values Cao Cao the most, and it is also what Cheng Yu and a large number of civil servants and strategists admire the most. For this reason, they are willing to follow Cao Cao, no matter how difficult Cao Cao's situation is, they will never give up and share weal and woe.

And Cao Cao's open-mindedness is not just talking, and the secret alliance with Li Li under Hangu Pass is the best proof. He and Li Li have an irreconcilable "national hatred" family feud, but he can take the initiative to show favor to Li Li and form an alliance with him. No matter what his original intention was in doing this, this open-mindedness alone was enough to amaze countless people and make them feel ashamed. And this is exactly the mind that the hero has, who has truly achieved great things without informality, can endure what ordinary people can't endure, and can reach what ordinary people can't reach; Only in this way can we achieve unattainable fame and fame.

When his thoughts were flying, Xun Yu couldn't help but shake his head, sobering himself up and returning to the battle in front of him. At this time, he suddenly remembered a person who was covered by the Xiahoudun brothers and Cao Ren, but this person's cultural and martial arts were not inferior to the Xiahou brothers, and his strategy was not weaker than Cao Ren, and his martial arts were very likely to be above Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and he was actually the first master in the Cao clan. This person has been unknown before, willing to succumb to the Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, and is loyal to his duties, never exceeding his authority, and not being good at expressing himself. Therefore, although he won Cao Cao's trust, he did not attract enough attention from Cao Cao, and naturally he did not have the opportunity to take on important responsibilities. However, since the foundation of Yanzhou was attacked and occupied by Lu Bu, he was ordered to be in danger and finally got the opportunity to fully show his talents.

Immediately, Xun Yu turned his head to look at Cao Chun, who was standing on the right side of Lema, and said softly to Cao Cao: "If the lord is worried that our army does not have the generals of the three armies, then it can be relieved. Our army is not without a top general, on the contrary, this general's martial arts are far above the late General Xiahoudun, even if he can't defeat Lu Bu, he is also capable of fighting sixty or seventy rounds without defeat??????"

"Oh?" Without waiting for Xun Yu to finish speaking, Cao Cao interjected: "Where is this person now, please come and see me quickly!" ”

Xun Yu laughed when he heard this, he didn't want to play tricks, but now he has changed his mind. Since the lord is so anxious. Then he simply added another fire, and the good man did it to the end, and directly pushed it to the position of the first general of the Cao army. Anyway, this position should have been his, and this time it was just to get back what should have belonged to him.

"Don't worry. It is easy for the lord to see this person, there is no need to go down to ask, he is in the army at the moment, and he has always been a general under the lord, but he has not been reused. ”

"Uh, right in front of the battle?" In astonishment. Cao Cao turned his head to look at the generals on the right, his eyes directly skimmed over Cao Chun, Le Jin, Cao Zhen and others, and carefully scanned and observed. In the end, it stayed on the veteran Cai Yang, who was nearly fifty years old. Because he heard that Cai Yang had a very domineering name, he once fought all over the Central Plains rangers invincible, and was respected by the green forest rangers as the "sword god".

Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled and said, "It seems that the lord really doesn't know who this general with both civil and military skills is. That being the case, I will tell you bluntly below. This man is the brother of the lord?????? General Cao Chun! ”

"Ahh Sub and? Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this. Turning his head to look at Cao Chun beside him, his expression was stunned, and his eyes looked at Cao Chun in disbelief, as if he suspected Xun Yu of being tricky. But he knows Xun Yu's temperament very well, and he will not recommend talents, let alone military generals, but once he values and recommends them, he must be a useful talent; For example, Cheng Yu and Mao Jue recommended by him. They are all people who know how to schem.

Seeing that his lord still had doubts, Xun Yu said very firmly: "It is Cao Chun, Cao Zi and the general." Zihe General Wen Tao Wu Strategy. Courageous, last year Lu Bu sneak attack on the county seat, it was General Zihe who carried the wounded General Xiahou Yuan on his back to fight bloodily, during which he also clashed with Lu Bu for more than ten rounds, and finally broke out of the siege and led the army to retreat to Dong'e City. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I wouldn't have known that Zi He and the general would be so brave, and he would not be surprised by changes, brave and strategic, and he could be called a general's talent! ”

Cao Cao's expression was stunned, his eyes stared at Cao Chun, and his impression of his clan brother Cao Chun appeared in his mind.

Cao Chun is Cao Ren's younger brother, who has been studious since childhood, respects scribes, is humble and courteous, and is deeply loved by his father. However, his brother Cao Ren preferred martial arts, did not like learning, and despised scribes, so the two brothers lived separately when they became adults, and his father did not pass on the family business to Cao Ren, but left it to Cao Chun. Since then, although Cao Ren has not turned against his younger brother Cao Chun, he has also complained a lot, and his suspicion is quite deep; If it is not necessary, it is reluctant to come to the door. And Cao Chun is modest, practicing literature and martial arts, which can be regarded as both civil and military, but he has no outstanding ability, at least compared with Cao Ren.

Yes, in Cao Cao's impression, Cao Chun is humble and polite, and his martial arts are among the first-class, but he is far inferior to Cao Ren. However, Cao Chun was upright by nature, respected discipline, governed the army strictly, treated soldiers well, was especially good at training, and was deeply loved by the soldiers under his account. Other than that, Cao Chun doesn't seem to be outstanding.

Therefore, Cao Cao ordered him to succeed Xiahoudun and stay in the county seat, not because he valued his talent, but because he was his own brother, absolutely loyal to him, and could be trusted. That's all.

Because of this, Cao Cao didn't value Cao Chun very much, he only felt that he was a brother of the same clan, and his loyalty was not a problem, so he often took him with him to listen to him.

It wasn't until now, hearing Xun Yu's admiration for Cao Chun that Cao Cao realized that he might really not know this clan brother, and he looked away. From this, he couldn't help but think that Cao Chun and Cao Ren were not on good terms, and Cao Ren had a deep friendship and brotherhood with the Xiahoudun brothers, while Cao Hong was a person of luxury and pleasure, and his temperament was narrow, which was incompatible with Cao Chun. From this point of view, Cao Chun's obscurity is not due to his character, but because he has been invisibly excluded, which forces him to be cautious, not to show the mountains and water, and deliberately restrain himself, so as to avoid infighting between brothers of the same clan.

Under the gaze of Xun Yu and Cao Chun, Cao Cao smiled at Cao Chun, but smiled and said nothing, noncommittal.

Immediately, he turned his gaze to the battlefield ahead, looked up at the gloomy sky, and ordered Cao Chun: "Mingjin withdraws his troops, and today is over." After recovering the counties of Dongjun, fight Lu Bu again! ”

"Dingding??????dingding"

The crisp sound of gold was heard throughout the city of Puyang, and at this time, a light rain fell in the sky, fluttering and sprinkling, sending the dust flying in the air back to the earth.
