Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 118 Seeing Zhou Feng Again (Part [-])
"What you said is very true."

Xi Zhong's face was also full of unexpected joy, but he bowed slightly and blamed himself, "Original Zhicai thought that the guards in Yanzhou would be able to defend several cities with all their might just by relying on the soldiers, horses, food and grass that kept you in Yanzhou. When the envoy returned to the army for rescue, the limit was reached, I never thought that the guards would have the ability to turn the world around, and fight against the allied forces of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, this is something that Zhicai absolutely did not expect."

"This is Zhicai's mistake. If he had known that the generals in Yanzhou could do this, Zhicai would never have suggested that the king should return to the army to rescue Yanzhou. We should take this opportunity to wipe out Zhang Chao and Tao Qian's troops in one fell swoop. Completely pacify Xuzhou, so that when the envoy comes back to destroy the rebels, he can teach the rebels that they have nowhere to go."

"Now if Lu Bu and Zhang Miao know that they are invincible and save their strength and flee eastward, they can still go to Guangling to join Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao. In this way, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, and Tao Qian will gather together, It is another enemy that should not be underestimated, and now it is the beginning of winter, I am afraid that if you want to attack them, you will have to wait for the next year."

"At that time, these people were resting and recuperating, and the situation in the world was changing rapidly. I'm afraid it's not the same."

"This time Zhicai made a mistake in his judgment, which caused you to miss the opportunity. I would like to accept the punishment!"

Speaking of this, Xi Zhong lowered his head very low, and bowed his waist even deeper. He fell in front of Cao Cao for a long time and refused to get up, his shame was beyond words.

"Please hurry up Zhicai, how can this be your fault?"

Cao Cao quickly came up to hold Xi Zhong's arm, and while supporting him, he said with a smile on his face, "You never expected Yanzhou to be like this, and I never expected Yanzhou to be like this, otherwise you How could the two of us coincide with each other? Besides, you and I both know exactly how many soldiers, horses and food I left in Yanzhou. Would you believe that I could do this just based on those soldiers, horses and food? Anyway I definitely won't believe it."

"Zhicai really can't figure out the reason, especially when Xiahou Taishou and Xun Sima were resisting the coalition forces of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, they were able to send troops to Anmin and Cheng County Magistrate to go north to quell the chaos. This is simply unimaginable..."

The self-blame in Xi Zhicai's heart was slightly relieved, and he raised his head and said suspiciously.

"That's why I said, there must be something unexpected between you and me. You don't have to blame yourself, and I won't blame you. After seeing Xiahou Yuanrang and Xun Wenruo, the truth will come to light."

Cao Cao's face showed anticipation, and he said seriously, "Now, how to prevent the troops of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao from fleeing eastward and joining Zhang Chao and Tao Qian, if we can wipe them all out here, we will be able to Destroy an enemy ahead of time..."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's complexion suddenly became gloomy again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Besides, I also want to see that Zhang Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao), and ask him face to face. Yuan Benchu ​​ordered me to kill him many times, I would rather be an enemy of Yuan Benchu ​​than swear not to obey, and before I left, my family entrusted him with it, why did he rebel against me this time!"

"Then, I'm going to..."

Cao Cao's fists were clenched, and his not-so-big eyes narrowed into a long and narrow slit.

Although he didn't say what he thought in his heart, it was obvious that Zhang Miao would not end well if he fell into the hands of Cao Cao, not even the whole family.

"..."

Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, not disturbing, and waited until Cao Cao opened his eyes again, and the crow's feet appeared again, and finally said: "Master, I am afraid that this time we will not be able to wipe out Lu Bu and Zhang Miao's troops."

"Before the envoy came back, they were at a stalemate with Xiahou Taishou and Xun Sima. Now that they heard that the envoy led the army back to rescue, they would not dare to stay in Yanzhou for a long time. I am afraid that they have led the army to flee east now, and our army did not know Yanzhou before. The situation hastily returned to the rescue, and the interception was not arranged in advance, and now the opportunity has been missed."

The voice fell.

"Report—!"

There was a report from outside, and a general came in after receiving a response, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has just found out that Lu Bu and Zhang Miao led the army to flee eastward, and now they have left Jiyin County and arrived at Changchang. Yi area!"

"Besides that, there is one more thing that the general can't verify..."

"Say it straight!"

Cao Cao sternly shouted.

"The last general found out a bad rumor. It is said that a few days ago when Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others learned that the envoy had returned and wanted to evacuate, the prefect of Xiahou who was stationed in Puyang led his army to counterattack with all his strength, and wanted to leave him waiting for the envoy to arrive. It's a pity that in the end, he lost to Lu Bu and returned home, and he was also injured by Liu Ya, so his life and death are unknown!"

The general quickly bowed his head and said.

"Yuan Rang?"

Cao Cao's face was startled, and he immediately ordered loudly, "Investigate again! Be sure to find out the exact news! I want to know whether Yuan Rang is alive or dead as soon as possible!"

……

Xiahou Dun was indeed injured.

Wu Liang had already received the news a few days ago. After this guy learned that Lu Bu and Zhang Miao were going to escape, he refused to let them go easily, and decisively led his army out of the city to pursue them.

It's a pity that Lu Bu is really powerful, and Chen Gong offered to set up an ambush in advance to prevent the pursuers.

So Xiahou Dun followed their way.

Not only did he lose his troops, but he was also injured by Liu Ya, and finally returned to Puyang sideways.

This time history finally returned to the right track. The arrow hit Xiahou Dun's left eye impartially. The "Blind Xiahou" in history finally lived up to his name.

As far as Wu Liang knew, the arrow was actually not very powerful. Xiahou Dun was only blind in one eye at most.

Unexpectedly, this guy got hit by an arrow and insisted on pretending to be aggressive, so he pulled out the arrow and his eyeball together.

Although it was not as described in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he yelled: "Father's sperm and mother's blood, don't discard it", and then put his eyes into his mouth and ate it.

But there was still a lot of blood, soaking the entire neck and left shoulder.

So after a while, he turned pale and fell off the horse...

The accompanying soldiers were all terrified at the time, so they hurriedly carried him back, poured blood-enriching and Qi-enriching decoction and rested for a few days, but his life was finally safe, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around in the past two days.

"Emmm..."

Upon receiving this news, Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: "In this way, we can be sure that the 'Mazda Terrier' is just a coincidence, and Xiahou Dun is not a time traveler, so everyone can rest assured Let’s be friends now, General Xiahou, from now on we will be your eyes.”

……

a few days later.

Cao Cao's army passed by Yuncheng.

Xi Zhong saw that the situation was settled, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not, so he asked Boss Cao for two days off to go home and visit his relatives.

His family members are all settled in Yuncheng, only a few hours away from Juancheng.

It has been four or five months since Boss Cao sent troops to conquer Xuzhou.

Not everyone can go through the house three times without entering like Dayu, so how ugly is the daughter-in-law?
However, Xi Zhong came home mainly to visit his old mother. He is a well-known filial son in ten miles and eight villages.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Xi Zhong saw his useless nephew—Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng's mother was married many years ago. Later, her husband's family suffered a catastrophe and almost wiped out during Dong Zhuo's chaos.
