    Gathering the corpses, arranging the wounded soldiers, caring for the dead, and stabilizing the morale of the troops, a tragic offensive and defensive battle came to nothing. As the commander-in-chief, Cao Cao had no time to spare.

    The guards reminded and urged me several times, but received no response.  After finally waiting for the general of the first army, when the general had finished handling these trivial matters, he still had no intention of eating and hurried to the rear camp.  Looking at that direction, it seemed that they were not heading towards the camp of Mr. Feng Xiao or General Dian, but to another place.

    The personal guards marveled in their hearts while quickly following up, wondering what happened and who could make the lord abandon his injured general. They were not in a hurry to compete with all the talented gentlemen.  Asking for advice, why come to such a remote corner?

    The camps of nearly 100,000 troops, even if not all the troops are gathered together, are still large buildings that stretch for more than ten miles.  From the center to the corner of the edge, it would take less than half an hour to walk using only feet!

    After walking and walking until they reached the northernmost part of the camp, where coolies and untrusted generals were stationed, Cao Cao stopped.  Judging from where he stopped, it was obvious that he came specifically for the owner of this tent.

    There were lamps lit in the tent, and you could smell the strong aroma of wine and the sound of someone talking loudly from a distance.

    The guards were even more surprised. Drinking is not allowed in the army. This is an iron rule. Unless they break the city to celebrate, even someone with the status of Mr. Feng Xiao would not dare to make an exception.  But I never thought that someone would ignore military orders in a place like this?

    Could it be that the Lord came here specially because he got a secret report and was planning to capture a model to sacrifice to the flag?  But there is a saying in the art of war: The defeated army should be commended.  Today's battle cannot be said to be a defeat. After all, the overall situation is still in our favor, but after all, we have been losing for a while. This does not seem to be a good time to strictly enforce military discipline, right?

    Cao Cao was walking in a hurry on the road, but when he arrived at the end of the field, he was no longer in a hurry. He just stood outside the tent, seeming to be attracted by the discussion inside the tent, and even gestured to keep everyone quiet.  Of course the guards did not dare to disobey the order, but they were inevitably curious. They all leaned forward and listened with bated breath.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t listen, as soon as they heard it, everyone¡¯s body shook wildly and their expressions changed dramatically.

    "A rabbit bites people when it's angry, let alone a tiger?" The lecturer's tone was full of disdain, and he also called Cao Cao by name without any respect: "Mengde is resourceful, has city power, and has vision.  Xu Zijiang¡¯s assessment that day was absolutely correct, but his biggest shortcoming is that he is too impatient and easily gets carried away.¡±

    "How do you say this?" A young man's voice continued. Listening to his tone, not only was there no fear, but he was sincerely asking for advice.

    "What else can I do? I'm eager for success." The person who spoke before was not in a hurry to answer. He took a sip of wine and then laughed and said: "This is actually a matter of tolerance, and where does tolerance come from? No.  Wrong, it¡¯s just due to status! Dezu, think about it, who are the two generations above the Cao family? Well, it doesn¡¯t matter, you don¡¯t need to say it out loud, just understand it in your heart"

    The guards were trembling with fear when they heard this. No one dared to come forward. If they didn't dare to leave their post without authorization, they would probably have swarmed around.  Although the identity of the person in the account cannot be confirmed yet, a rough name has come to mind, celebrity!  To be precise, he is a mad student among celebrities!

    The most frightening thing about this kind of people is that they dare to say anything, and they say it no matter how ugly it is.  What does it say now?  Reveal your shortcomings!  It's no different from slapping someone in the face!  In front of the Cao and Xiahou families, this is the most taboo topic. Basically, whoever decides who will die, with the exception of one person, Kuang Sheng.

    There is no other way, but those who are scolded by many and fierce Kuangsheng are probably very famous. It is easy to catch them and kill them, but the aftermath will be troublesome.  At least a name that is disrespectful and does not value talents cannot escape.  If it's more serious, you might be called jealous of others.

    This is an era where fame is almost equal to power. Who has nothing to do to poke such a hornet's nest?

    The Kuangsheng in the tent cannot die, and they are not afraid of death, but those like me who are just passing by are being wronged.  The Lord is not a soft-hearted person. If he is angry here, he will take it out on his own gang of unknown people. If you can avoid this kind of thing, you must try to avoid it.

    "Because of his poor background, he was very eager to prove himself. When he took charge of Dongjun, he was eager to integrate resources and train new troops in order to compete with Qingzhou. Bian Wenli and others only spoke a few words bluntly, and he became angry with shame.  As for the brazen murder, in the final analysis, it is not that he is extremely evil, but simply because he has low self-esteem and does not dare to face reality."

    There was a sense of loneliness and sadness in the speaker's tone: "It's the same thing this time. He clearly had a trump card in his hand, but he couldn't even wait for two or three days and insisted on attacking the city with force. Although Lu Bu's soldiers and horses  They are young, but they are all veterans of many battles, plus Lu BuWith their bravery and desperation, even the elites of Qingzhou will still suffer, let alone the miscellaneous soldiers who surrendered and rebelled against the city.  "

    Hearing Bian Rang¡¯s name, the guards finally thought of the speaker¡¯s identity.  After so many years, the only one who is still obsessed with seeking justice for Bian Zang is Chen Gongtai, who first attached himself to Zhang Miao, then to Lu Bu, and finally came to live under the command of his enemy.

    Although this person¡¯s views are quite narrow, the last sentence is correct.  When dealing with Lu Bu, it is better to go slowly than to rush. If you push this tiger into a hurry, even if you can win, you will have to suffer heavy losses, right?

    Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly made a move. He opened the tent door and barged in directly.

    "Gongtai's words are still so sharp, but there is something unclear about Gu" I have to say that Cao Cao's city is indeed deep enough. When Chen Gong exposed him and despised him, he was not angry at all, but continued the conversation directly.  .

    "Since Gongtai can view the general trend of the world and people can see patterns in the palm of their hand, how come they don't know that our army is in real danger now and can't afford to waste time? Wei continued to have snakes and rats, and his intentions are unclear. Our army has been besieging and attacking the city for a long time.  On the eighth day, he did not move. Did he have to wait until Wang Yu's troops arrived and the Qingzhou army surrounded him on all sides before he made the painful decision to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side?"

    "Isn't it a pleasure to have a guest from afar?" Cao Cao suddenly appeared, but Chen Gong was not surprised. He was not embarrassed at all by being exposed for speaking ill of people behind his back. Instead, he smiled and held up the bottle to invite him: "Mengde, come here.  It's just right. After today's battle, I knew you were coming here, so I set up a banquet and invited a few good friends to wait here. At least I have lived up to my good intentions."

    As he spoke, he introduced the other people present. It turned out that the young man who had spoken out earlier was the son of Yang Biao, the fourth Taiwei's family, and the other two who remained silent were Ding Yi and Ding Biao, famous scholars of Pei State.  brother.

    These people all came here with the officials of the imperial court. Cao Cao only favored them because of their family background and reputation. This was the first time they met in person.

    Cao Cao is a pragmatic person. If the overall situation has been decided now and he is about to sweep Hebei and dominate the world, he may still have the intention to deal with these young masters.  But now that he is worried about the military situation, he is not in the mood to wait and chat with a few idle people.

    He frowned, with a hint of chill in his voice.

    "In the past, there is no way to tell right from wrong, but now is definitely the time to work together in the same boat! Gongtai, don't forget, if Wang Yu conquers the world, let alone those who died in Bian Wenli, I am afraid that all the wealthy families in the world will  They will all be swept away! Do you want your descendants to study and practice martial arts with ordinary people? What kind of public selection should you participate in? If you fail the selection, at most you will be like Kong Wenju and Ni Zhengping, and be raised as gods.  You don¡¯t have any real power in your hands?¡±

    This sentence seemed to hit the key point of Chen Gong. He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, the uninhibited and indulgent tone in his tone had faded a lot.

    "I know what you mean, but the facts are here. If you don't start from the inside, you can't defeat Lu Bu quickly. In fact, you were too impatient in Puyang. If you didn't take action then, wouldn't it be okay, I know  If you are impatient to hear this, let me tell you something practical"

    Chen Gong paused for a moment, gave it a try, observed Cao Cao's expression, and then smiled and said the answer: "Actually, today's siege battle is not without merit. General Wei was reluctant to move before, because he had no desire to do anything.  , but it really can¡¯t be done. Now there are people in the city staring at him, and he can¡¯t move an inch at all. Don¡¯t say he doesn¡¯t move. Even if he moves, he will just die in vain.¡±

    "Do you mean"

    "The help he needs has been sent in during the chaos. All he needs to do is wait patiently." Chen Gong smiled leisurely, as if he was confident, "In a day or two, good news will come! Just do your best.  It¡¯s time to prepare for entering the city!¡±

    "So that's it, thanks to Gongtai this time!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, turned around and said, "All the things before were not as good as what Gongtai said. They were all too eager to be alone.  As a teacher who never forgets the past, I will have more to rely on in the future. I also hope that Gongtai will help me in memory of the old friendship."

    "Easy to say, easy to say!" Chen Gong seemed to be waving his hands casually, but in fact he was very complacent.

    The feud between him and Cao Cao ostensibly began with the death of his friend Bian Rang, but in fact it was a battle of spirits.  Relying on his old friendship and his service to Cao Cao when he entered Dongjun, he always felt that his status should be very high.

    As a result, after Cao Cao gained a foothold, celebrities from all over the world came to vote for him, and Chen Gongtai, who was proud and hardworking, was ranked outside the tenth place. How could he bear this bad breath?  Later, Cao Cao followed Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu's advice and insisted on killing Bian Yi in order to purge the local forces in Yanzhou. Chen Gong tried to persuade him to no avail, and eventually turned against him.

      This hatred seems to be not small, but in fact it is not difficult to resolve. It is nothing more than Cao Cao giving in and apologizing.

    " If it were just when he was satisfied with his ambition, Cao Cao might not be able to lose face, but now that he is in danger, Cao Cao can't care much.

    Historically, Chen Gong rebelled and assisted Lu Bu against Cao Cao, which almost brought disaster to Cao Cao.  Now he relied on his familiarity with Lu Bu's army to help Cao Cao deal with Lu Bu. Naturally, he was drawing blood, and Cao Cao couldn't help but rely on him.

    Cao Cao was not the only one who was shocked by Chen Gong's plan, Wei Xu was almost scared to death.

    "Gong Cao asked me to give you a message. As long as you lead your troops, you will immediately become the lord of Xiuwu and the captain of Fengche"

    Wei Xu didn't pay attention to what the other party was saying. Looking at his old friend who had no reason to appear in front of him, his eyes went dark: "Old Hou, how did you get in? Do you know how dangerous it is now? Wen Hou hates it the most  It¡¯s you and Gongtai who are at stake. Once caught, it would be light to cut the body into pieces, so I¡¯d have to cut you into pieces with a thousand knives!¡±

    Hou Cheng smiled and replied nonchalantly: "It's not easy, just don't let him catch it. That tiger can't protect itself now, how can it think of dealing with us? As for how it got in, that's not  Is it easier? Just pretend to be dead and sneak in during the chaos. How much trouble will it take?" As he spoke, he pointed to the uniform on his body.

    It has not been long since we entered the troubled times, and all forces are still the Han army. Military uniforms, formations, and military music orders are all based on the configuration of the Han army, with slight modifications.

    The only one that is special may be the Qingzhou Army. The military uniforms of the soldiers are all specially customized, and the main color is red. They are the same as the Han Army, but the specific styles are much different.

    Therefore, for people like Hou Cheng, who are very familiar with military officers and rules, it is just a piece of cake to fish in troubled waters.  Especially in today's offensive and defensive battle, there was also a fight between dragons and tigers that attracted everyone's attention. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hou Cheng almost swaggered into the city.

    "It's useless for you to come in!" Wei Xu didn't care about the specific process, sighed, spread his hands and said: "The conditions promised by General Cao are good enough, but it's not that I don't want to do anything anyway, I really have no chance!  You don¡¯t know that although others are fine, Wei Yan is the worst, except when he is fighting, he almost always comes to my side whenever he has something to do!¡±

    "You should have heard of that man's reputation to some extent. He is a picky guy! If he were alone, there might be a way to deal with him, but there are dozens of secret agents around him.  They are all from the Hidden Mist Army, and are particularly good at tracking and spying You are lucky enough to sneak in. That guy was injured to some extent, so he couldn't care about it for the moment. Wait for him to recover Well, in short, you  We came to the wrong place this time!¡±

    Wei Xuxu complained a lot, and Hou Chengcheng listened so quietly until he couldn't say anything new, then he patted the other party on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Brother, these hardships you mentioned, brother, I  They all know it How do I know it? Don¡¯t forget, Gongtai is also one of the top wise men in the world! Is there anything I can¡¯t guess about this? "

    Wei Xu was so frightened that he stammered: "Can you eveneven predict this? Is Gongtai going to become a god?"

    "You can't even call me a god, but half-immortals are so-so." Hou Cheng grinned and said: "Wang Yu advocated killing you at the beginning. Lu Bu is a ruthless man. If it weren't for his wife's sake, your bones would have been cold.  Then Wei Yan is Wang Yu's loyal dog, do you think he is in the army just to help in the war?"

    He swaggered onto the main seat and sneered: "To be honest with you, even if you don't betray me this time, when Wang Yu completely gains power, you won't be able to reap the benefits. The thief Wang is young and has a narrow mind.  Xiao, if you count those who have had enemies with him over the years, how many of them ended up with a happy ending?"

    Wei Xu felt a chill when he thought about it.  Wei Yan came to help, and he really wanted to keep a close eye on himself. Now that he is being watched so closely, will there be any good fruits in the future?

    But he still didn¡¯t rush to give a clear answer, because today¡¯s battle looked a bit strange.  Cao Cao besieged the city for nearly ten days and made several fierce attacks at first, but he never went all out, probably because he was still worried about casualties.  But today, he suddenly threw away all his money. Who doesn't know that Dian Wei is the number one general in Cao Cao's army, and he leads all Cao Cao's dead soldiers?

    Since the first rebellion, Wei Xu's past bravery has been gone. Now he only thinks about future glory and wealth. Even if he doesn't get it, he just wants to save his life.

    Cao Cao suddenly became anxious. Could it be that the war situation had changed again?  If Wang Yu finally gains power, he must carefully consider where to go now.

    Hou Cheng and Wei Xu are also old friends, and Chen Gong reminded them in advance that through observationJust by looking at Fang's face, one could guess almost exactly what was on his mind.

    "Brother Wei, I know what you are thinking. You may think that Duke Cao is dead, but if nothing else, you should know the overall situation now, right? Even if Duke Cao can't take down Lu Bu and retreats sadly, he can still contain Qingzhou's army.  It¡¯s always right to have two main forces, right? Well, there¡¯s also the navy army.¡±

    "Sun Tuolu has 30,000 tiger soldiers under his command, many of whom are veterans who are skilled in water warfare. General Miaocai also has 20,000 elite soldiers. What do they have over there in Qingzhou? Chen Dao, Wang Mo, and that unweaned baby from the Lu family  , such a few useless people are commanding more than 30,000 militiamen? Can they stop it? Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong still have some fighting troops, but they can only survive with less than 20,000 soldiers. Isn't this clear enough about strength and weakness?  ?¡±

    "There is no need to hide some things from you. Yes, Wang Yu is already here, and with his beacon fire cavalry, he has already attacked Baixingkou. But don't tremble too early. Mr. Cao knows everything.  , have already deployed two elite groups there, how easy is it to break through?"

    "Even if there is an eventuality, it's nothing. Gongtai has already seen clearly that the Qingzhou Army was not fooled before. It's not that they have stabilized their position, but that the generals can't trust Jia Wenhe, so they all support their own troops and fight on their own.  . Then Yu Jin was just a lump of wood, and he didn¡¯t know how to adapt at all. Cao Gong made a little trick, and the eldest son and tens of thousands of old and weak were restrained. Jia Wenhe was like a headless fly.  He was bumping into each other randomly, but no one paid attention to him."

    "Even if Wang Yu really beats the horse and arrives, it will still be ten thousand cavalry against an army of eighty thousand. Even if the Wind and Fire cavalry are made of iron, how can they defy the odds? There is no telling who will save whom."

    "Anyway, brother Wei, we are brothers. I will tell you everything you can and cannot say. You can decide what to do. If you plan to be loyal to the end, brother, I will be here. You can just tie him up."  Go and make a contribution, otherwise, you have to do it as soon as possible! If time drags on, you will no longer be human on both sides!"

    Wei Xu¡¯s complexion alternated between red and white, changing constantly.  He is not a very decisive person. He used to follow Hou Cheng's lead, but now that Leng Ding meets an old friend again, his thoughts suddenly come to life.

    After hesitating for a cup of tea, his wandering eyes finally fell back on Hou Cheng, and he asked in a deep voice: "But how do you plan to pass Wei Yan? That guy is not easy to deal with."

    "It's very simple, there is no need to deal with him at all."

    As soon as he heard this, Hou Cheng knew that it was done. He smiled and said: "Don't forget, he is targeting you, not me. Isn't it just right to give him a way to attack the west? Those capable men of yours, I  I'm familiar with them all, and I can easily command them. Besides, I still have some old memories in the army. Isn't this matter easy to handle? I have a plan here, please come over"

    "The blood of loyalty is not yet cold, but the flower of conspiracy has already bloomed, like an invisible black hand, strangulating this city that has always stood firm in the storm.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
