Xiaoguangong

Chapter 9
Gangneung City.

The horrific killing in Cao Jun's camp dispelled the atmosphere that was quite lively not long ago.

The soldiers patrolling the battalion all looked tense, and turned their fearful eyes to the large tent of the Chinese army.

Today was supposed to be a feast to celebrate the victory. Cao Jun was full of civil and military personnel, and the tables were filled with fine wine and meat, but now no one in the tent dared to put their chopsticks down.

The always frivolous counselors and domineering and brave generals bowed their heads, and no one dared to cast their eyes on the old man in the chief seat.

Cao Cao, with his long gray hair hanging loose, sat motionless, holding the bamboo chopsticks in his right hand, and lightly clenched his left hand into a fist, beating his left leg slowly and rhythmically.

The sound of the fist dropping was not loud, but in the ears of everyone in the tent, it was like thunderclaps.

They knew that a raging rage was burning in the heart of this hero who swept away the north.

If one is not careful, this mass of anger will affect innocent people and devour all living beings.

After a long time, Cao Cao's turbid eyes finally became a little agile.

He looked ahead, looked at the man kneeling on the ground trembling, and said in a calm voice:
"I'm old alone, maybe I didn't hear clearly before. Ru just said that Zihe was killed by Guan Ping?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhang Yun, who was lying on the ground, had no expression on his face. His raised buttocks kept shaking. It looked very funny, but no one in the room dared to laugh.

After Zhang Yun surrendered, he thought he would be caught by Liu Bei in Xiakou, but all thoughts were lost in his heart.

But when boarding the boat, Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao's nephew and son-in-law, sneaked over, calling him his brother, and helped Zhang Yun untie the rope and let him run quickly.

Zhang Yun didn't have any friendship with Zhuge Liang before, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to save him at the moment of life and death. He was so moved that tears flowed down, and he vowed to destroy Liu Bei in the future, and he would definitely say good things for Zhuge Liang.

But everyone under Liu Bei's command disappeared from sight, and Zhang Yuncai suddenly recalled it.

No, how can I explain this to Prime Minister Cao when I go back.

"Cao, General Cao is unparalleled in bravery. He defeated Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in a row, and he is about to capture Liu Bei.

Who, who would have thought that Guan Ping would come out from the side, use magic to shoot and kill General Cao's mount from a hundred paces away, and he was so tired that General Cao fell off his horse and died.

The last general tried his best to fight out, but he could only snatch back the bones of General Cao. He was humble and incompetent, humble and incompetent. "Zhang Yun's teeth were trembling constantly, and his voice was clearly audible.

He cast a look of pleading help to Cai Mao, who was at the top, but Cai Mao watched his nose, nose and mouth, carefully suppressing his breath.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, twitched the knife-like wrinkles on his face a few times, and said calmly:
"Well, Yun Chang's son is proficient in martial arts, Gu has seen it before.

On the slope of Changban, Gu also called him to surrender a hundred steps away, presumably he was thinking of love, but he didn't use this technique to hurt me.

is not it? "

"Yes, yes. Guan Ping, how dare you use sorcery to kill the prime minister."

"Well, I think he also thought of love, and didn't use this technique to hurt you, did he?" Cao Cao repeated.

Only then did Zhang Yun realize the sinister intentions of Cai Mao's nephew and son-in-law.

If he was captured, Cao Cao would feel that he was useless at most, based on his previous experience of following Cai Mao and embarrassing Liu Bei frequently.

But the tiger and leopard cavalry were all wiped out, and even the Jingzhou army followed Liu Bei for more than half, and people like Zhang Yun escaped unscathed.

If Cao Cao asks Zhang Yun's soldiers in a few days, he knows that Zhang Yun voluntarily surrendered to Guan Ping and was released...

Zhang Yunru fell into an ice cave, thinking that this Zhuge Kongming did a lot of harm to people, it was clearly killing his whole family.

Another long silence.

Everyone knows the importance of Cao Chun to Cao Cao.

The governor of the tiger and leopard rider was the sharp sword in Cao Cao's hand. He beheaded Yuan Tan, defeated Karasuma, and followed Cao Cao all the way in Changbanpo to defeat Liu Bei.

No matter how you say it, it will be gone, and the death is particularly strange.

None of his tiger and leopard riders escaped back. Zhang Yun said that Guan Ping could take Cao Chun's life from a hundred steps away, but if Guan Ping really had such a skill, why didn't he use it on Changbanpo?
Xu Chu, Cao Cao's love general, had already put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.

As long as Cao Cao gives an order, he will jump up and chop Zhang Yun into a meat paste.

"All right."

After a long time, Cao Cao finally opened his mouth slowly, and the hero who wiped out the north had a smile on his face again, and he slowly raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists, Zihe... died for the country, a dead hero!
Well, the generals will talk about it, how can we flatten Liu Bei with Anzi and the spirit of Zaitian? "

There was still silence in the tent.

The relatives and generals who had followed Cao Cao for many years looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting Cao Cao to react like this.

Wei Zi died in battle 18 years ago, and Cao Cao fainted several times holding his body and crying.

Bao Xin died in battle 16 years ago, Cao Cao cried at Bao Xin's tomb and grabbed the ground with his head.

Dian Wei died in battle 11 years ago, and Cao Cao wept and beat his chest and feet at his headless corpse.

Cao Cao never concealed his sorrow, except this time.

This can only show that his anger has far outweighed the pain of losing his brother.

"Wen He, you go ahead." Cao Cao smiled, and turned his red eyes to Jia Xu, the doctor of the Taizhong.

This is obviously not in line with common sense.

If he really wants to ask for advice, he should first ask the military adviser Xun You, Chen Qun who joined the army, or Dong Zhao who offered the wine.

Skip these think tanks and ask yourself first, the reason is self-evident.

Jia Xu, who is used to being wise and safe, helped his hat, and made up his mind in a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"Our army has wiped out the Yuan family and occupied the old capital of Chu.

This place is rich in supplies, so it is better to reward the soldiers and appease the people. In a few years, Jiangdong will beg for surrender. "

Cao Cao nodded with a smile, then asked slowly:
"Do the generals have different opinions?"

Listen to the sound.

Cai Hao, who was sitting under Cao Cao's head, immediately reacted, and suddenly stood up.

He walked quickly to Cao Cao, bowed slowly, and said loudly:

"The prime minister wiped out Yunei, and he is invincible.

Liu Bei is the only one in the world who is arrogant and does not obey the law.

Humble has sent people to seal off the Xiangshui River and prevent Liu Bei from fleeing south. There are still [-] elite soldiers in Jingzhou who are willing to be the pioneers to fight eastward for the Prime Minister. This time Liu Bei will surely escape! "

"Not bad!"

In the silent military tent just now, there was an uproar of voices, all the generals of the Cao family jumped up and asked for the battle loudly, and the oppressive atmosphere before was swept away immediately.

Cao Cao nodded slowly and said:
"The courage of the generals is commendable, so let's go down and prepare first. After I enter the army in a month or so, I must let Liu Bei take the lead."

The generals looked at me and I looked at you. I always felt that the atmosphere today was quite weird, but Cao Cao had said so, so he could only get up and leave.

Zhang Yun knelt on the ground, saw Cao Cao smiling at him, as if he had been pardoned, he quickly got up and took small steps back to leave.

In an instant, only Cao Cao was left in the tent.

And Jia Xu who shouldn't be here long ago.

"What else is there for Wenhe?" Cao Cao said, raising the wine glass in his hand to persuade Jia Xu to drink.

Jia Xu slowly picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice:

"Humble is thinking about Guan Ping."

"Oh, so that's the case." Cao Cao shook his head, "The son of Yun Chang is only a pawn, not worth mentioning."

"Prime Minister, this man has a weird weapon. Now our army is strong, why bother to take the risk of fighting? How about..."

"Wenhe, I'm lonely." Cao Cao smiled and hammered his legs, and the punches fell heavily, and the muffled sound made Jia Xu shut up wisely.

He got up to say goodbye, and slowly left the military tent. After taking two steps, he heard an earth-shattering loud noise behind him.

A few soldiers subconsciously wanted to get closer to check, but Jia Xu hurriedly held them back and sighed:

"It's not too late to go in after half an hour."

The 53-year-old Cao Cao has just completed an adventure of marching three hundred miles in one day and one night, severely injuring Liu Bei, the most respected opponent in his life.

He originally thought that he could wait for the news of Liu Bei's death if he just waited in Jiangling City this time.

But what he waited for was the sad news of his cousin Cao Chun.

"Zihe, Zihe..."

Cao Cao was in tears, couldn't help shrinking his body, sobbing loudly.

In a daze, he saw Wei Zi, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, and vaguely saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Ping's indistinct immature face.

The cloud is long, the cloud is long.

If the lonely Zixiu is still alive, why are you afraid of your family's eldest son?
But Gu doesn't have such a good son, so he can only hold the sword and mount the horse himself. Don't blame Gu for bullying the younger generation.

Cao Cao stood up unsteadily, exerting all his strength, and punched the table in front of him heavily.

Zihe ah Zihe!
Gu must find out and avenge you!
No one can stop me!

"Pass down the order, and the one who wins Guan Ping's head will be promoted to the first rank!"

"Oh, Gu also has a daughter, whoever can kill Guan Ping will be Gu's son-in-law."
