"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed heartily when he heard this: "Good, good, good, I can't imagine that Wen Ruo is still a jealous and hateful person!" So good, I don't have to worry about it anymore! ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Don't hide it, ten days ago, I sent a letter to Yuan Shao, asking him to dissuade Lu Bu from quitting the army and truce, presumably Yuan Shao's letter has reached Lu Bu at this moment." Strike while the iron is hot, I will write a few more letters and send them to Lu Bu and Zhang Miao and others, and what Wen Ruo said will be realized in a few days. Now let's have a good discussion about how to send troops to meet the alliance and how to recapture Yanzhou. ”

Xun Yu's expression was slightly surprised, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the lord has already made a plan, and it is so hard to hide it from his subordinates!" ”

"Apu, Agui, where is Agui?"

Just as Cao Cao and Xun Yu's ministers looked at each other and smiled, a title that no one dared to call for a long time passed into the lobby, so that the smile on Xun Yu's face instantly froze, and Cao Cao's expression suddenly became gloomy, his eyes flashed fiercely, and his face was extremely unkind.

Cao Cao, the word Mengde, the milk name Apu. It is said that Cao Cao has been brilliant since he was a child, cunning and wise, often lying and deceiving people, none of the ten sentences is true, and the deceived person did not know that he had been deceived until a long time later, so the milk name of Ah Pu is widely known, especially the family elders even call his milk name when they open their mouths and close their mouths. However, since Cao Cao and the crown, Cao Apu's name has rarely been called anymore, because he has a crown, and Meng De is his name. After Cao Cao became a prince all the way, the milk name of Apu has become a taboo brand, especially after the death of Cao's father Cao Song, almost no one dares to call his milk name so loudly.

However, strange things happen every year, especially this year.

After more than ten years of not daring to call the name of the milk, today it was shouted so loudly, which made Cao Cao very unhappy. His face was as gloomy as ice, and he was about to kill in a rage.

"Tom, tom, tom!"

The sound of crisp footsteps came from outside the door of the mansion, and the sound became louder and louder, heading straight for the main hall.

"Apu, Apu, you want to avenge my two grandsons!" As this sentence spread into the main hall, the person who dared to call Cao Cao's name was still standing at the door of the main hall, and there were two servants on the left and right sides supporting him, walking towards the front of the hall step by step.

The moment he saw the appearance of the person who came, Cao Cao's face changed greatly, and the gloomy face before disappeared. Instead, his face turned pale, and a pair of sharp eyes instantly dimmed. Immediately, he hurriedly got up to greet him, and before he walked in front of the visitor, he stretched out his hand to help him, and said respectfully: "Grandfather, why did you come in person?" Something sent someone to summon it. The grandson immediately went to wait for his grandfather's dispatch. Slow down, take your seats! ”

Supporting the "grandfather" into the upper hall. Cao Cao was very careful. I am afraid that my "grandfather" will be unstable under his feet, and he will fall and bump into it, which will seem very filial.

The "grandfather" in Cao Cao's mouth is not Cao Teng, but the only remaining elder of the Xiahou family, the grandfather of the brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and the biological father of Cao Cao's father Cao Song. Therefore. Cao Cao's grandfather is really unyielding at all, Xiahou Yan is indeed his own grandfather, and he is also the oldest and oldest elder of the two major families of the Xiahou family and the Cao family.

Xiahou Yan is nearly ninety years old, and his sons are all dead. He's still alive. In this era of seventies, I have to say that he is a veritable old birthday star, and he is definitely one of the few long-lived people in the entire Han Dynasty.

Before that, Cao Cao had found it difficult to see his grandfather Xiahou Yan all year round, and sometimes he had not met for two or three years, for example, the two grandfathers and grandsons had not met in the past three years.

I didn't think about it, today the moon came out in the east, and this old man actually came to the main hall to find him in person.

Without even thinking about it, Cao Cao knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Xiahou Yan would not have come to see him in person. In the past, if my grandfather had something to inquire about, he would always send someone to pass the word, and then he would go to see my grandfather himself.

As for what happened, Cao Cao already knew it in his heart.

Just now, Xiahou Yan asked him to avenge his two grandsons, but in fact, he had already made clear the purpose of this trip, and this was exactly the last thing Cao Cao wanted to hear.

"Ah, Miaocai has gone、、、" sighed, Xiahou's wrinkled cheeks were full of old tears, and he choked up and couldn't speak.

"Ahh Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, his face was full of sluggishness, and his body standing on the steps swayed from side to side twice, and then his body tilted to the left and fell.

Fortunately, Xun Yu has been following Cao Cao's side, seeing that Cao Cao's body is crooked, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then helped Cao Cao to sit down on the left side of the hall.

"The lord is angry!" Helping Cao Cao to sit firmly, Xun Yu hurriedly persuaded: "Now is a critical moment, the lord must take care of his body, and must not have an accident, otherwise all the efforts we have made will be wasted and useless!" ”

"Whew, whew, whew!" Cao Cao sat on the cushion with an extremely sad expression, gasping for breath, as if a bad breath was blocked in his chest and could not come down, so that he could not breathe, and his breathing was rapid and heavy.

Seeing Cao Cao in such a situation, Xiahou Yan, who was sitting on the main seat, endured his grief and wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and after forcibly stabilizing his mind, he said softly: "When Miaocai was carried back from Yangzhou by the dead two months ago, he was dying after a delay of half a month, and he often vomited blood. Since then, he has been using ginseng soup to continue his life, and his injuries have not improved, this time the state capital has fallen, and Miaocai has suffered from bumps again, and finally he can no longer support it, and he breathed half an hour ago. Pity my grandson who is not yet thirty years old, and he is the age of making meritorious contributions, but he was poisoned by this and passed away. If the sky has eyes, the old man is willing to exchange this crippled body for his grandson's life, God doesn't have long eyes! ”

As he spoke, the tears that Xiahou Yan had just wiped away burst out of the embankment again, and his cheeks were soaked with hot tears.

Just as Xiahou Yan spoke, Cao Cao gradually came back to his senses, his face was cold and gloomy, and his eyes flashed with repeated murderous intent from time to time. At this time, he wanted to cry without tears, and in addition to anger and hatred, there was only endless self-blame and remorse left in his heart. However, there is still a trace of luck in his heart, that is, according to Le Jin's letter, Xiahoudun is very likely to be alive, because Li Li is still alive and well. Therefore, Cao Cao stubbornly believed that since Li Li and the thieves were not dead, how could Xiahoudun drown?

"Grandfather's Day, please." Seeing his grandfather Xiahou dying in tears, Cao Cao endured his grief and comforted him softly: "The death of Miaocai, my grandson blames himself very much. I can't feel at ease. When Yen Rang led the family to follow Li Li's thief, his grandson learned of this and immediately sent Miao Cai to stop it. It's a pity that they didn't listen to their grandson's persuasion, and still decided to assassinate Li Thief, not admitting that Li Thief was extremely strong, not only thwarted the lore blow carefully designed by Yuan Rang and Miaocai, but also fell into the torrent and escaped unscathed.

Therefore, Sun Er expected that although Yuan Rang was hit hard, he would probably be able to survive. Before Sun Er withdrew from Xuzhou, he had sent General Le Jin to look for him, and presumably good news would come back in the near future、、、、、、"

Just when Cao Cao used the news that Xiahoudun might survive to comfort Xiahou. But seeing that Xiahou Yan suddenly waved his hand and interjected: "Ah Pu didn't know about Yuan Rang's death? Could it be that General Lejin didn't come to see you after returning to Yanzhou, but went to see the old man first? ”

"Yuan Rang is also dead?" Cao Cao's complexion changed when he heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and he said angrily: "Since Le Jin has come back, why don't you come to see me?" ”

"The last will meet the lord!" Cao Cao's voice did not fall. But a figure flashed out of the door and walked quickly into the main hall. He bowed down and said, "The last general will arrive outside the city at noon." It was not until the end of the war that he entered the city, and after entering the city, he sent the body of General Xiahoudun to Xiahou's mansion. Will the last general be convicted, please punish the Lord! ”

"Corpses, so Yuan Rang has been dead for a long time?" Glaring at Le Jin, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

Le Jin heard that the tone of the lord Cao Cao was not good, but he couldn't help but reply: "Return to the lord." Indeed it is. The last general led the soldiers to search for the front river of Bufumen, which lasted more than a month, searching for nearly a thousand miles of rivers, and finally found the body of General Xiahoudun. After careful identification by the last general and the Xiahou family. It was confirmed that General Xiahoudun had been killed in battle two months earlier, and only a mutilated corpse was brought back this time. ”

"Presumptuous!" Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, got up, strode in front of Le Jin, and said sharply: "Since Yuan Rang has already died, why did you deceive me?" Do you think that I Cao Cao can be deceived and deceived? ”

After an angry reprimand, Cao Cao waved his hand and couldn't help but order: "Le Jin's clever words make Se deceive General Ben, his heart can be punished, and his crime will not be forgiven!" Come on, drag Le Jin out and behead him! ”

"Wait!" This dissuasion came from Xun Yu and Le Jin, so that Xun Yu, who was originally going to admonish, was stunned, and immediately silenced and watched the changes.

"What, you still want to quibble?" Cao Cao looked at Le Jin coldly and asked in a deep voice.

Le Jin shook his head slightly, looked up at Cao Cao, and said: "The last general inferred from his false words earlier, and it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of being deceived, so the lord punished the last general, I have nothing to say, and I am willing to die." However, when I left Yangzhou, Yuan Shu had a letter entrusted to me to give to my lord. ”

While speaking, Le Jin put his hand into the hem of his armor, and at this time, Cao Cao, who was standing in front of Le Jin, suddenly took a few steps back, looking at Le Jin with a slightly flustered expression.

It wasn't until he saw that Le Jin had indeed taken out a letter that Cao Cao exhaled lightly without a trace, and took the letter casually, but did not immediately open it, but stuffed it into his sleeve. Immediately, he gently waved his hand and motioned to the armorer to drag Le Jin out and execute him on the spot, his expression was very resolute, and his intention to kill Le Jin was undoubted.

At this time, Xun Yu finally opened his mouth to intercede for Le Jin: "The lord is angry!" Although General Le Jin was at fault, he did not intend to deceive the lord, but out of good intentions, hoping that General Xiahoudun would survive. Now there is the bad news that General Xiahoudun was killed, and it is not General Lejin's fault, but the tragic murder of Li Thief. If the lord executes General Lejin because of this, it is not only not convincing, but chilling. What's more, at this time, at the time of the Great War, the lord has already lost two Xiahou generals, is there another general Lejin who is loyal to the lord? Please think twice, forgive Lejin once, let him keep a useful body, and make meritorious contributions! ”

"Humph! How can I be forgiven if I am deceived by lies! Cao Cao snorted coldly with a grim face, he had already made up his mind and could not be changed.

"Ah, what Wen Qiao said is reasonable, even if General Lejin is wrong, he will not die for his crimes!" Just when the two of them were about to be dragged out of the main gate, Xiahou Yan said persuasively: "Ah Pu, my grandfather has lost two grandchildren, and I don't want to see you kill the general angrily." For the sake of Lejin's hard work to find Yuan Rang's body, give the old man a thin face, forgive Lejin, and let him keep his useful body to kill the enemy! ”

"Grandfather has a life, and grandson should obey it." Cao Cao immediately replied respectfully, and then waved his hand to signal the armor to let go of Le Jin.

"The last general will thank the lord for not killing!" Le Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down.

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your life was saved by your grandfather, and the person you want to thank is your grandfather!" ”

"Thank you grandfather for saving your life, and I will never forget it in this life!"

"Okay, good, good, get up!" Le Jin is worthy of being a general who has followed Cao Cao for a long time, and his grandfather called Xiahou Lao Huai with relief, and the sadness on his face dissipated a lot.

Subsequently, Xiahou left tremblingly, and Cao Cao took Xun Yu and Le Jin all the way to the gate of the county government.

Looking at Xiahou Yan's car slowly leaving, the corners of Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he muttered in a deep voice: "It is a great misfortune in the world for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and I Cao Cao is not filial!" This qiē is all thanks to Li Wenchang, let me lose two flesh and blood brothers, such as a broken arm, this revenge is not shared with the sky, I Cao Cao sooner or later slashed Li thief, avenging the dead brother! ”

Xun Yu was gloomy when he heard this, looking up at the starry night sky, thoughtful.

He believed that Cao Cao's words were from the bottom of his heart, and his hatred for Li Li became more and more intense, and he sincerely felt sorry for the two Xiahou generals who died young. Because Cao Cao was right, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were indeed Cao Cao's most relied on confidants and generals during their lifetimes, and they were loyal and brave. Whenever there was a war, one of the two Xiahou generals often followed Cao Cao to go on the expedition, and the other stayed in the rear, and he had made outstanding achievements in the past few years, and he never disappointed Cao Cao. At the same time, the two Xiahou brothers are also the two best generals in Cao Cao's hands. Xiahou Yuan is calm and witty, and he is skilled in arching horses, and he can take charge alone. Therefore, the death of the Xiahou brothers is undoubtedly worse for Cao Cao and even the entire Cao army's difficult situation.

In addition, the two Xiahou generals died one after another for robbing and killing Li Li. Although Xiahou Yuan died of illness in Dongjun, this account had to be counted on Li Li's head, and Xiahou Yuan died directly under Li Li's knife. Since then, the hatred between Cao Cao and Li Li has become deeper and deeper, and it has become incompatible.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Xun Yu to imagine that the Battle of the Central Plains in the near future will be an unprecedented battle after the princes of the Eighteenth Route to fight Dong Zhuo, and the fierceness of the battle and the fierceness of the battle will far exceed the battle of the Tiger Prison in the past.
