After being driven away by Liu Bei, Cao Cao paid homage to my chief military adviser
Chapter 78 Zhao Yun Returns, Vote for Chen Mu
Chapter 78 Zhao Yun Returns, Vote for Chen Mu
Fancheng!
Zhao Yun fought endlessly with Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others.
Zhao Yun's silver armor had already been soaked in blood, his white robe was even more torn, and the palm of his hand holding the gentian silver gun was shaking constantly.
Even so!
Zhao Yun straightened his body upright, not letting himself fall down!
Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xia Houdun and other soldiers were deeply shocked by Zhao Yun's aura!
"What a loyal and righteous man!"
"What a Changshan Zhao Zilong, he will never retreat!!!"
Zhang Liao's face was solemn, and he felt admiration.
Deng Deng Deng!
The sound of iron hooves came from afar.
Xu Chu personally led the Tiger Guards to gallop all the way, the battlefield!
But when Xu Chu saw Zhao Yun's situation, he was extremely shocked.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others fought for hundreds of rounds, and they were still brave and invincible, fighting to the death without retreating!
So far!
Zhang Liao and the others still couldn't take Zhao Yun down!
This bravery and loyalty alone is enough to be admirable.
dong dong dong~
Xu Chu got off his horse and bowed to Zhao Yun to show his respect.
Seeing Xu Chu approaching, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others gradually withdrew their hands and retreated.
"Zhongkang, why did you come here suddenly, but what is the prime minister's military order?"
Zhang Liao asked suspiciously.
Xu Chu didn't reply in a hurry, but walked straight towards Zhao Yun.
Zhang Liao and others waited and watched.
There are all kinds of suspicions.
Could it be that Xu Chu wants to persuade Zhao Yun, who is determined to die, to surrender?
"Zhao Yun, look what this is!"
Xu Chu held up the brocade that his master had given him, stepped forward and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun opened the brocade in doubt.
but!
When Zhao Yun saw the two big characters 'Zilong' left on the cloth brocade, the emotions in his heart gushed out like a flood breaking a bank!
Hot tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
The scene of the past, Yiyi came to mind!
The military division turned out not to be dead!
He's been alive the whole time! ! !
Although there are only two large characters on this cloth brocade, Zhao Yun can conclude that these must be the military adviser's notes! ! !
Zhao Yun's trembling body trembled uncontrollably, and the gentian silver gun in his hand fell to the ground.
but……
Zhao Yun didn't notice it at all, and carefully held the brocade with both hands, treating it like a treasure.
Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others were stunned by such a scene.
Almost instinctively looked at Xu Chu who was at the side.
It seems to be asking him what is written in this letter?
They fought with all their strength and fought for hundreds of rounds without capturing Zhao Yun.
But Xu Chu made Zhao Yun willing to lay down his weapon just by relying on this cloth brocade!
On the other hand, Xu Chu was even more puzzled!
He also couldn't understand why Zhao Yun would put down his weapon because of the word 'Zilong'!
Just when everyone was confused, Zhao Yun slowly raised his tear-soaked face and asked weakly, "Where is he...?"
Xu Chu was stunned, thinking that Zhao Yun was referring to the current Prime Minister, subconsciously replied: "It's in Xiangyang!"
"Xiangyang..."
Zhao Yun murmured a few times, slowly raised his face, and looked towards the sky.
Scenes from the past are presented in front of my eyes like pictures.
In the past, the military division had a good time with himself, talking about the heroes of the world!
In leading the army in battle, the military adviser is also like a respected teacher, guiding himself, so that Zhao Yun is what he is today!
"Military Master, I rest in peace!"
……
But now, with the wind and rain, success or failure is turned around!
"My lord! I resisted Cao Jun for you!"
"Zilong did his best!"
Stop talking!
Zhao Yun exhausted his last sliver of strength, wanted to get up, exhausted his last sliver of strength, and the obsession in his heart dissipated with exhaustion.
His blood-soaked body fell on his back among thousands of troops.
Until the very last moment!
There was a smile on Zhao Yun's face all the time...
……
Zhang Liao and others rushed forward.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was seriously injured, everyone was shocked.
Is this Zhao Yun a ghost?
After suffering such a serious injury, he still fought fiercely!
Xu Chu reported Zhao Yun to his mount.
"Zilong, don't die. If you die, how can I explain to the prime minister?"
……
The next day.
Xiangyang.
In the big camp of the army.
Cao Cao, Xun You, Jia Xu and others discussed the strategy of Jiangdong.
On the school field outside, Xia Houyuan, Wenpin, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others performed their own skills, and their marksmanship and arrows were all excellent!
"Jiangdong water battle is invincible, but it is still difficult to resist."
"What should I do?"
Cao Cao asked.
Xun You, Jia Xu and others were silent.
At this moment, suddenly a war horse came flying like flying in the camp!
There is no one on the horseback!
The fierce horse is majestic and his voice is as hoarse as a dragon!
Come with the wind, like a whirlwind!
At this time, the generals here, although they have armor, have no weapons!
After all, Boss Cao hosted a banquet and treated his subordinates leniently. How could he carry a knife and hold a sword?
Seeing that the horse was several feet away, the distance from Boss Cao was no more than a flash.
The horse suddenly slammed on the brakes and stomped on the ground!
But the distance was too close, and he couldn't hold back. Boss Cao was shocked, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late!
Right now.
Suddenly there was a loud roar!
Cao Cao was surprised to see Xu Chu running from outside!
Xu Chu leaped out, stretched out his palm, and pressed it against the horse's forehead!
The war horse neighed, and the people stood up!
But I can't move an inch!
Xu Hanhan roared and stepped forward a few steps.
The four limbs of the war horse's waist are full of abrupt muscles, but with all four hooves retreating, it is still no match for the supernatural power of the tiger!
Right now!
Under the horse's belly, a person suddenly jumped up and stood on the horse's back.
"Congratulations, my lord, for another big victory!"
Hiding inside, someone else!
Boss Cao was furious, and when he was about to explode, when he saw this person, his anger suddenly turned into joy!
"You two are back, oops!"
"Zhongkang is back!"
"Oh, the lonely Huhou is back."
"Cao Hong!"
"This is my thousand-mile horse!"
All the civil and military ministers looked closely, and the man on the horse was slender and armored. He was the young man Cao Xiu, whom Cao Cao called the family's thousand-mile steed!
"Cao Xiu, you are so ignorant that you offended the lord, can you bear it?"
Cao Hong is Cao Xiu's uncle, and he came out with a cold face and glared at him.
"Uncle... my lord..."
Cao Xiunian was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was brave, he was also naughty.
After being reprimanded by Cao Hong for a while, he immediately obeyed and dared not make a sound.
Cao Xiu followed Zhang Liao, Zhang Ying, and Xiahou Dun to conquer Liu Bei and attack Fancheng.
I got this horse and wanted to show it off, but I just got it. I am not familiar with BMW's habits, so I couldn't control it and almost caused a catastrophe!
"What kind of war horse is this?"
Cao Cao looked at the horse and suddenly looked familiar!
The horse is two feet long, eight feet tall, burly, and red all over. Under the horse's belly, drips of sweat fell on the ground, and it was bright red.
Sweat BMW?
Red rabbit?
"Could it be that you attacked Fancheng and recaptured the Chituma?"
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, his eyes burst open!
In the past, in order to win Guan Yu over, he gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu would not be moved at all, and finally left him after passing five passes and beating six generals!
Now that the situation is in turmoil, it would be a beautiful thing if the Chituma could be recaptured!
"My lord, that's not the case!"
Cao Xiu dismounted, touched a large teapot from the banquets on both sides, drank a gulp, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuff and said.
"You and Wen Yuan attacked Liu Da'er, what happened?"
Boss Cao suddenly changed the subject and asked eagerly.
"This humble minister is here to report a victory!"
Cao Xiu took out the letter written by Zhang Liao himself from his bosom, and handed it to Boss Cao.
Three days ago, Chen and others raised fifty thousand elite soldiers from Jiangxia to attack Fancheng.
Although Fancheng is concerned with powerful generals such as Zhang Zhao, there are not many soldiers, and even fewer soldiers can fight!
In less than half a day, Fancheng was captured!
Liu Bei led Guan Zhang Zhao and other generals, and fled to Fankou in embarrassment!
"Nice job!"
Boss Cao clapped his hands and laughed, and passed the good news in his hands to the ministers of civil and military affairs for a closer look.
"As soon as the lord's soldiers and horses arrived, Liu Da heard the news and fled. He was already vulnerable!"
Cao Ren laughed and said.
"It's a pity that Liu Bei escaped again this time!"
Cao Hong said bitterly, he and Cao Ren were defeated by Chen Mu when they were in Xinye, and they hated Liu Bei very much.
"My lord, Liu Da'er fled to Fankou. It seems that instead of being angry, my lord is more happy than capturing Liu Bei?"
Seeing the smiling Boss Cao, Cheng Yu asked in puzzlement.
"Haha, guess what, what did you do?"
Boss Cao looked at the civil and military people below with a smile, poured the wine glass Jin Bo into his stomach, and said.
Only by slaughtering Liu Bei can he devote himself wholeheartedly to the conquest of Jiangdong!
No matter what, no matter how weak Liu Bei is, occupying the city is definitely not a good thing!
but……
All the officials below are puzzled, and really can't figure out the reason.
"Wenhe, do you know Gu's thoughts?"
Cao Cao saw Jia Xu sitting at the end of the counselor's seat, who had been silent all the time, and asked loudly.
All eyes were on Jia Xu.
Jia Xu got up slowly and bowed in salute: "In my humble opinion, my lord is just using Liu Bei's body to calm the world!"
Boss Cao laughed loudly: "Those who know me, Jia Wenhe also, keep talking!"
"In the past, when Liu Bei stationed troops in Xinye, the lord sent troops to capture Xinye."
"Liu Bei abandoned Xinye to Jingxiang, and the lord followed him, and took down the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop!"
"Liu Bei went to Jiangxia, and went to Fancheng. The lord occupies Jiangxia, and the tiger watches Jiangdong!"
"Now Liu Bei is like a bereaved dog, completely powerless. Although he is in Fankou, it is nothing to worry about, but it is convenient for the lord to plan to destroy Guo in a false way!"
Jia Xu speaks slowly, but her water is tight and her thinking is meticulous.
"Could it be that my lord wants to use Liu Bei as a bait to attack Yizhou and Hanzhong?"
Xun You suddenly realized, and said in surprise!
Boss Cao laughed loudly: "Gongda's words are good, but the strategy is too late, so it's a little less polite!"
Xun You flushed with shame.
If it hadn't been for Jia Xu's reminder, he really would have never thought that Boss Cao had far-reaching plans. Jiangdong hadn't been taken yet, and he was already paving the way for the capture of Hanzhong and Yizhou.
"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are also the territory of the great Han Dynasty, but they have not surrendered to the emperor for many years. The lord's righteous destruction is just in line with God's will!"
Chen Qun, Chen Lin and others echoed in agreement.
Boss Cao was full of ambition, raised his eyes, and looked in the direction of Fankou!
Liu Daer!
Let me leave you in Fankou for a few days!
After I kill Jiangdong Zhou Yu, I will deal with you again!
Villager Zhuge?
Are you not Wolong?
You crouching dragon, is it a dragon or a loach!
The dragon travels thousands of miles and swallows the world!
And you?It's just leading Liu Daershu to escape and travel thousands of miles!
When did the half-divided dragon nature show up?
Everyone in the world says that if a dragon and a phoenix are crouching, if the two get one, the world will be at peace!
Liu Bei won Wolong, not only could he not win the world, he couldn't even guard a new field!
It seems that the title of Crouching Dragon is just a false name!
Presumably, the phoenix chick that has never been seen may not be easy to get anywhere!
"My lord, what to do with this horse?"
Xu Chu's rough voice suddenly came to my ears.
Boss Cao looked down and saw that Xu Chu was still pressing down on the sweaty horses with his palm.
Although the horse was majestic, it was not tall enough, and it seemed that it was not yet fully grown, so it had no advantage against Xu Chu.
But despite this, Xu Chu exerted himself for a long time, and at this moment, the sweat dripped down his cheeks.
"Wen Lie, what's the matter with this horse?"
Boss Cao looked back at Cao Xiu.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the name of this horse is Chitu..."
The crowd was shocked!
Boss Cao couldn't help but opened his eyes wide, and re-examined the horse carefully!
The red rabbit was originally owned by Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Xiliang, and was later given to Lu Bu. After Lu Bu was killed in Baimenlou, it was in the hands of Boss Cao.
Later, in order to win over Guan Yu, Boss Cao gave Chitu to Guan Yu.
Therefore, the boss is no stranger to Chitu.
But the red rabbit in front of him, like the old red rabbit, is similar, but not exactly the same!
Cao Hong was very displeased when he saw Cao Xiu's appearance of showing off, "Cao Xiu, what's going on, I don't want to explain it in detail!"
"Yes!"
Cao Xiu bowed and said.
"Among Jingxiang, there are many horse dealers traveling to and from Xiliang."
"It is said that the Chitu family is a rare horse breed in Xiliang. Even so, there are also Chitus in Jingxiang!"
"Although the red rabbit is a famous horse, it is a male horse that gallops thousands of miles without getting tired. Although a female horse has the shape of a red rabbit, it cannot travel far, and its foot strength is no different from that of an ordinary war horse!"
"It is for this reason that red rabbits have become even more scarce."
"The horse dealers in Jingxiang have a red rabbit mare in their hands. In the past, Guan Yu was recognized by the horse dealers as soon as he arrived in Jingxiang, and he secretly paired it with a female horse, which made his red rabbit stallion a bit romantic..."
Boss Cao laughed out loud!
"Could it be that the Chituma, who was all-powerful in the past, has lost his virginity when he arrives on the ground of Jingxiang, and married a wife and had children?"
boom!
The ministers laughed!
Cao Xiu and the others laughed slightly, and continued: "Fortunately, the pony that was born is a stallion! It is the red rabbit horse!"
When Cao Xiu said this, his voice trembled a little, and his excitement was beyond words.
"really?"
Boss Cao walked down quickly and came to Chitu. After a long while, he stretched out his hand to wipe the bright red sweat and blood on his abdomen, and nodded repeatedly.
"Sure enough, after the red rabbit, this figure is not inferior to that red rabbit at all!"
Cao Xiu smiled, approached Boss Cao, and said in a low voice: "According to the horse dealers, this male red rabbit horse cannot be castrated, and if it is castrated, its physical strength and endurance will be greatly reduced. But once the mating is completed, the true energy will be released." , that old red rabbit horse, I am afraid that he will also be like a strong man who indulges in lust, his physical fitness is declining day by day!"
"Haha, Chitu has a queen, he old Chitu, it's time to retire!"
Boss Cao said with a smile.
At this time, Cao Cao turned to ask Xu Chu.
"Where's Zhao Yun?"
Obviously, Cao Cao did not forget Zhao Yun at all.
"Zhao Yun is behind."
Soon after, Zhao Yun was brought before Cao Cao.
above the theme.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun, who had already released more air and less air, and shouted anxiously, "How could this be!"
"Didn't I say I wanted to save his life?"
"If Zhao Yun is dead, what's the point of me wanting a corpse!"
"go with!"
"Search all the famous doctors in the world for me, as long as he can cure Zhao Yun, he can choose from officials, treasures, gold, and fertile land!"
Zhang Liao and others hurriedly bowed and said, "Prime Minister calm down, it is not we who want to kill Zhao Yun."
"It's Zhao Yun who will fight to the death without surrendering, and fight with exhaustion!"
"It wasn't until Huhou arrived and showed Zhao Yun a roll of brocade that he gave up his resistance."
"It was also from then on that Zhao Yun's last trace of strength dissipated!"
"Tiger Hou!"
Cao Cao was surprised, and looked at Xu Chu suspiciously.
Civil servants.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others also looked at Xu Chu suspiciously.
"What did Zhongkang show Zhao Yun?! To make him give up resistance?" Cheng Yu frowned deeply, and said inwardly in surprise.
Looking at Xun You, Chen Qun and others, they also scratched their heads.
After thinking about it, he certainly couldn't figure out Xu Chu's strategy.
However, thinking about it, everyone has gradually given up on guessing.
You must know that even they couldn't think of how to get Zhao Yun to surrender, but when Xu Chu went out, he didn't even say a word, and only handed Zhao Yun a roll of brocade to make him give up resistance.
This kind of ability can't help but make them a little ashamed.
"Zhongkang!"
"What did you show Zhao Yun?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Hehe~"
Xu Chu scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Actually, I don't know too well."
"Zhao Yun just asked me where the prime minister is."
"I said it was in Xiangyang, and then Zhao Yun gave up resisting."
As soon as this word comes out.
Full silence.
All the civil and military officials present, even Cao Cao, looked at each other in blank dismay.
"It's that simple?"
Cao Cao asked again and again in disbelief.
"hold head high……"
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then nodded dully and said, "Yes, that's what I said."
a time.
The people present became more and more suspicious.
"Just said a word????"
Xun You and the others froze on the spot for an instant, feeling extremely discouraged and remorseful in their hearts!
If I had known this earlier, I might as well have gone out on my own at that time!
With such a great contribution, I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.
It's just for nothing! ! !
But having said that, even if it was so simple, under the circumstances at that time, they probably didn't have the courage and courage to do it.
"Huhou is brave and resourceful, and can stand alone. It seems that in the future, we will have to rely on Huhou."
Jia Xu walked forward with a smile, said with cupped hands.
Hearing this, Xu Chu smiled awkwardly, imitated Jia Xu's movements, cupped his hands in return and said, "Sir, you are joking."
"OK OK."
Cao Cao waved his hand, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said, "Zhongkang, you did a good job in this matter!"
"I will send someone to deliver the reward to you later."
"If you can save Zhao Yun, I will reward you!"
"Forehead……"
Xu Chu was stunned, looked at Zhao Yun who was hanging on his breath, nodded dully and said, "No!"
……
"Report!"
"Letter from Xuchang!"
The small school outside the gate hurried in, followed by the scouts sent by Xu Chang.
Xun Yu's letter!
In order to prepare enough food, grass and military pay, the minister will set off today, and it will arrive in Jingzhou in less than ten days!
Also!
Xu Shu has surrendered and is currently on his way to Jingxiang. I hope the lord will treat him kindly!
I have no shortage of millions of soldiers, but Xu Shu has the talent of one man!
Boss Cao suddenly got up, laughing loudly!
I was worried about how to deal with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's nemesis came!
Xu Shu is here, why am I afraid of Zhou Yu?
……
When Cao Cao was overjoyed, Xu Chu suddenly thought of it.
"hey-hey!"
"Boss, how about you rewarding me with this horse?"
Xu Chu, who was sitting down, suddenly came to Boss Cao with a silly smile and asked.
what!
Cao Ren almost jumped up.
This Xu Chu is really thick-skinned enough to ask for a reward!
The red rabbit horse is unparalleled in the world, how can it be easily rewarded to others?
In the past, the prime minister got the red rabbit horse from Lu Bu, and the soldiers who sat down had a lot of credit, didn't they never get it?
Finally fell into the hands of Guan Yu.
Xia Houyuan spat: "This Xu Chu, who insists on being favored in front of the prime minister, acts like no one else!"
Cao Hong looked sullen, but he had no choice but to hold back!
Like Xiahou Dun, he has always been jealous of the close relationship between Xu Chu and Boss Cao!
Obviously, I am from the Cao family, but I am not as good as an outsider!
It can be called hateful!
And you Xu Chu!
However, in recent days, he has done a few minor meritorious deeds, but the lord already has a reward, so how dare he say it easily and ask for such a noble reward!
Still in vain to ask for a reward!
Cao Xiu, who was nearby, heard that Xu Chu begged for the red rabbit horse, subconsciously seemed to protect his own things, and hurried to lead the red rabbit horse, but found that the silk rein of the red rabbit horse had already been in Xu Chu's hands!
He will attack Fancheng with Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others, and he has made a lot of contributions!
Zhang Liao sent him back on the captured red rabbit horse to report the victory, and secretly sold him a favor!
If you go here to repay the victory, the prime minister will be overjoyed and will definitely reward you with the red rabbit horse you ride!
As for reporting the origin of Chituma!It's just a formality!
After all, with such a famous horse, if you steal it for yourself quietly, wouldn't it appear that you have lost sight of the lord?
It's just that the red rabbit horse was young, coupled with the rush of time, and was not well trained, so it almost ran into the lord, but it gave Xu Chu a chance to be the savior...
"Oh?"
"What merit do you have to ask for this reward?"
When Boss Cao heard the news that Xu Shu was coming, he was in an extremely good mood, so he also spoke in a pleasant manner.
What's more, he has always liked Xu Chu very much.
"I don't have any credit, I just think, if one day the master is in danger, I will carry the master on the horse and run away, I will escape with my life, and I won't die there like Dian Wei!"
Xu Chu scratched his scalp, and said stupidly after thinking hard.
That loyal and foolish look is extremely cute.
The smile on Boss Cao's face suddenly disappeared.
Wancheng...
Painful loss of Dianwei!
That is his eternal pain!
Everyone sees the mistake of one trick, so how can they do it again?
"Master, if you are reluctant, I won't. Don't be angry!"
Xu Chu saw that Boss Cao's complexion became serious, fearing to offend the Prime Minister, he hurriedly said in a low voice.
"No!"
"Gu announces now that this red rabbit new horse will be given to my tiger idiot, Xu Chu!"
Boss Cao suddenly raised his head and announced loudly.
Whoa!
There was a commotion below!
Cao Xiu rolled his eyelids in anger and almost passed out!
If I had known that I traveled thousands of miles to make wedding clothes for Xu Chu, an idiot!
I might as well keep this horse secretly for myself!
Even if you want to sell it for money, it is also called priceless, why bother to make this tiger idiot cheaper!
The tiger idiot Xu Chu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Boss Cao: "Thank you, my lord, I, Xu Chu, thank you, my lord!"
At this moment, he was thinking in his heart!
That gentleman has always refused to come out to assist my master.
Could it be that I haven't coaxed him enough and is still testing me?
BMW, beauty!
From Mr., I have already snatched two stunning beauties from Changbanpo and sent them over. If I also give him this rare red rabbit horse, it will definitely make him happy!
Maybe when I am happy, I will come to see the lord with me!
……
night!
Xiangyang Prefecture.
in the bedroom.
The candle flickered.
From time to time, I saw military doctors walking in and out.
It was supposed to be the couch where Cao Cao rested, but now it was Zhao Yun who was dying.
As for Cao Cao, he waited by Zhao Yun's side for the whole day, asking the military doctor about his condition.
"Don't care whether the herbs are cherished or not, as long as you can save Zhao Yun, it is worth spending thousands of gold!"
In the room, Cao Cao reprimanded the military doctor.
But when he suddenly found Zhao Yun, who was seriously injured beside him, his voice was instinctively lowered a lot, and he waved his hand to signal the military doctor to back down.
thereafter.
Cao Cao returned to Zhao Yun's side again, paying attention to his situation.
On this occasion.
Jia Xu and others also came from not far away, looked at the situation in the bedroom, and asked Zhang Liao who was waiting outside the door: "Wen Yuan, the prime minister has been here?"
Zhang Liao and others have already returned from a big victory.
Zhang Liao nodded slightly and said, "Yes! The prime minister never left half a step."
"In order to save Zhao Yun, the prime minister has not eaten for a whole day."
Having said that, Zhang Liao couldn't help showing a little worry on his face.
When Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and the others heard the words, they also felt admiration in their hearts.
With this lord, it is hard to repay his kindness even if he dies!
"The prime minister's love for talents is admirable!"
"It is a lifetime of luck to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty!"
Cheng Yu let out a long sigh.
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao nodded slightly, his eyes full of reverence.
Previously, he was a general under Lu Bu's command.
Since Lu Bu was captured, Zhang Liao was also ready to die.
But Cao Cao didn't think of his crime and entrusted him with his identity.
This kind of favor alone is hard to repay even though death!
……
Chen Mu courtyard.
Xu Chu walked in from the door with a good wine in his hand while laughing.
"Sir! Hahaha!"
"Sure enough, Zhao Yun is here!"
talking room.
A crisp sound resounded in the courtyard instantly.
Xu Chu looked over and found that it was the two maids serving Mr. who broke the prepared meal.
Xu Chu asked suspiciously: "I said Zhao Yun is here, why are you so excited?"
"Although it is said that Zhao Yun is handsome and loyal, but you are serving Mr., so you can't have distracting thoughts."
When Chen Mu heard this, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly.
This ramming goods!The identities of Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan are unclear.
He even said such a thing!
When Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan were stunned, Chen Mu slowly stepped forward and said, "You guys go down first!"
After this sound.
Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan also recovered from the shock, bowed their heads and said: "No."
As the two wives retreated one after another, Chen Mu looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zilong has come to Xiangyang?"
Xu Chu nodded heavily: "Thanks for the master plan!"
Chen Mu waved his hand.
He remembered the news that Zhao Yun fought four generals with one man, preventing thirty thousand soldiers from approaching.
Chen Mu was naturally aware of Zhao Yun's strength.
Although he is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, he is not invincible in this world.
And when I was following Liu Bei, what I was most optimistic about was Zhao Yun's loyalty and courage!
He is also the person who cares about Zhao Yun the most.
In this battle, Zhao Yun is bound to suffer!
Chen Mu thought so, looked at Xu Chu and said, "You arrange someone to go to Nanjun to find an old man."
"The old man?!"
Xu Chu was startled, scratched his head in doubt and said, "What old man?"
"Hua Tuo!"
"Let Hua Tuo come to Xiangyang to treat Zilong's injuries!"
Xu Chu was shocked when he heard this.
Mr. is a god!
Before he even opened his mouth, Mr. has guessed what he was thinking!
"Please rest assured, sir!"
"I will immediately arrange for Tiger Guards to go to Nanjun!"
"Even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up!!!"
Xu Chu said heavily, and strode away from the small courtyard like meteors.
……
a day later.
Xiangyang.
Although it has just gone through a war, it looks extremely clean at this time.
Not only was it clean, it was spotless.
In the early morning, the city gate of Xiangyang was wide open, and dozens of soldiers, carrying buckets and brooms, swept the ground under the gate.
"My lord, why is this so!"
Liu Ye and other advisers followed Boss Cao, looking at the soldiers sweeping the ground below the city.
"Yuanzhi traveled thousands of miles and came from Xuchang to join me. How could I not welcome him sincerely?"
Boss Cao stroked his black beard and said with a smile.
"Even so, it's a great pomp to have a few of us waiting again, so why bother the Prime Minister to wait in person!"
Cheng Yu also felt very uncomfortable.
He, Xun You, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc. all came here when Boss Cao was not in power and was in trouble, and none of them enjoyed such kindness.
Now that Prime Minister Cao is in a high position, with numerous generals under his command and millions of horses, why does he treat a mere Xu Shu so favorably!
If you are so out of line, aren't you afraid that everyone will be chilled by me!
"Boss, it seems to be here!"
Behind him, Xu Chu pointed to the distance with his hand and shouted in a rough voice.
really!
miles away.
A war horse came treading the dust from far away, although he couldn't see clearly, but inferred, it must be Xu Shu!
During the war, Xiangyang had just been captured. At this time, besides Xu Shu, who Xun Yu wrote to tell him to join him, who else could be there?
"Go down to the city with Gu, and welcome Mr. Yuan Zhi!"
Boss Cao looked carefully for a while, and the horses in the distance kept approaching, and he could almost see his figure clearly!
It really is Xu Yuanzhi!
Boss Cao went first, and Xu Chu followed closely behind, holding the Yitian sword in his hand.
Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xun You and several other great counselors followed, went down to the city together, and came outside the city gate.
far away.
From afar, Xu Shu saw Boss Cao standing on the official road outside the city gate with a wide robe and sleeves, looking at him with a smile, and waving repeatedly.
Xu Shu hurriedly rolled off the saddle, took the rein in his hand, and hurried forward.
Boss Cao also walked forward quickly.
"Yuanzhi!"
"I want to kill my lonely family!"
"You really came to help me!"
Boss Cao held Xu Shu's arm tightly and said excitedly.
"Prime Minister, Commoner Xu Shu, pay homage to the Prime Minister!"
Xu Shu looked quite calm, he gently broke free from Boss Cao's hand, and bowed slowly to salute.
"You're welcome! You're welcome!"
"Let's go! Go to the city first. Yuan Zhi has worked hard all the way. Seeing that you are so haggard, you must have suffered..."
Boss Cao, who has always cherished words like gold, suddenly became chattery at this time, asking his relatives and caring, and being extremely attentive.
"Hey Hey Hey!"
Xu Chu followed behind, just smirking, and wanted to interrupt for a few words, but really didn't know what to say.
He was not familiar with Xu Shu, but for some reason, from the first time he saw Xu Shu, he felt that this person was very familiar, as if he could see the shadow of Mr. Xu Shu.
"Hey, as soon as Xu Shu came, we were left a hundred and eight thousand miles away!"
Liu Ye followed far behind, and secretly said to Cheng Yu.
"Someone advises us, and we end up in peace, why not?"
Cheng Yu smiled, as if he didn't care, but there was a little bit of jealousy in his eyes.
Xun You smiled softly: "Our advisers can't share our lord's worries, and have suffered Zhou Yu's schemes many times. I am afraid that the prime minister treats Xu Shu so favorably because he wants him to deal with Jiangdong Zhou Lang!"
"I just don't know if it will work!"
……
Inside Xiangyang Mansion.
Civil and military side by side.
This is also the most complete banquet for Boss Cao's subordinates since the capture of Jingxiang!
General Assembly civil and military, water and land Bi Chen!
"Yuan Zhi, come here, sit with me!"
Boss Cao took Xu Shu's hand, came to the banquet, and directly set up a seat on his right hand.
"Prime Minister, how dare a commoner sit up!"
Xu Shu's face was pale and he didn't dare to sit down!
There are many people in this hall who are used to fighting and fighting bloody battles in the world, and there are also capable people who have strategized and made outstanding achievements repeatedly!
There are several people who are enfeoffed as marquises, and there are countless people who are temporarily appointed by the court!
I'm a mere commoner, how dare I sit down!
"Gu let you sit here, you just sit there!"
"You came today, this is to clean up the dust for you, you are the protagonist!"
Boss Cao was full of pride and said with a big smile.
"The prime minister is so kind, the commoner dare not accept it, so please ask the prime minister to take it back."
Xu Shu hesitated and stood by, refusing to take a seat.
The civil and military officials in the stage looked at Boss Cao and Xu Shu, and they stood separately.
"Hi! My lord let you sit, so you can just sit here. Why do you care about the rules?"
Xu Chu was irritable and couldn't bear it any longer. He lifted Xu Shu up with his hand and put him on the seat.
"It is! It is!"
"Hu Hou is absolutely right!"
Boss Cao's embarrassment was resolved by Xu Chu, and while laughing, he turned his head and cast an approving look at Xu Chu behind him.
Xu Chu smirked.
At this time, he regarded Xu Shu in front of him as a gentleman from the other courtyard in Xiangyang.
If the master is here, how can he be listed with those hundreds of officials?
Take another high seat!
"Everyone, today is the happiest day since I started the incident!"
"Why? It's just because Yuanzhi traveled thousands of miles and came here from Xuchang to join him. Since then, he has stood side by side with me and served the great man together!"
"You wait for everyone, don't wait for Yuan Zhi, wronged the great talent, or let me know, I must forgive you!"
"Drink this cup full, from now on you wait, work together!"
While Boss Cao was speaking, he couldn't help looking past Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others.
Among all the generals in the camp, Cao and Xiahou were the only ones who were associated with each other, and there were many deceptive and xenophobic things.
"Prime Minister, Commoner has something to say, and I want to say it face to face."
Xu Shu didn't raise his glass.
"Haha, Yuan Zhi, the future is long, why worry!"
"Drink this cup first, before it's too late."
Boss Cao held the wine glass in his left hand, leaned over to pick up Xu Shu's wine glass with his right hand, and handed it over.
Cao Ren's face darkened: "This Xu Shu really doesn't know what to do!"
Cao Hong sneered: "The hypocrisy is extreme! He only cared about his fame, but let the prime minister humbly accommodate him!"
Xiahou Dun squeezed the wine glass resentfully: "I waited for the three generals to take Xiangyang bravely, but I want to throw him a big banquet to clean up the dust! Isn't it time to hold a celebration banquet for Zhang Liao and me?"
Zhang Liao was at his side, persuading in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, why bother! We attack Xiangyang in name, but there is not much obstruction in reality. Could it be that our hundred thousand soldiers were blocked by Zilong alone, and we missed capturing Liu Bei and had a banquet?" Preaching?"
Xiahou Dun's only remaining eyeball stared like a copper bell, but he opened his mouth many times, but couldn't speak.
Xu Shu was still immersed in the grief of losing his mentor Chen Mu, facing the cheering banquet, he was very uncomfortable.
But Boss Cao's great kindness, but he couldn't let it down, so he reluctantly took the wine glass in Cao Cao's hand, paid a respectful circle, and drank it with his head raised.
Boss Cao was overjoyed, and after returning to his seat, he filled a glass again.
"Yuanzhi, you're here this time, so I don't have to worry about anything!"
Boss Cao let out a long breath, and said as if he was relieved from a heavy burden.
"The prime minister commanded millions of troops, and they were destroyed all the way. Starting from Xinye, they won Jingxiang without bloodshed, captured Jiangxia, and fought against Xiangyang."
"Wherever I go, I flee from the wind, so why worry?"
Xu Shu turned the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.
"Yuanzhi doesn't know something, and I have my own difficulties!"
Boss Cao scratched his head: "Jingxiang Marine Division was completely set on fire by Jiangdong Zhou Yu!"
"Training the navy, without a suitable commander, and delaying it for a long time, is very wasteful! I really can't afford to spend a million soldiers..."
Although Boss Cao had promised to help Xu Shu, he still couldn't help but vomit bitterness to Xu Shu.
"Prime Minister..."
Xu Shu bowed his head in silence, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said.
"Oh? Please tell me if you have something to say!"
"Please tell me..."
Boss Cao also realized that he had talked too much, so he hurriedly gestured for Xu Shu to speak.
"Prime Minister, Xu Shu is not here for the prime minister's confrontation between the two armies."
Xu Shu's expression showed a trace of exhaustion, and his voice became vicissitudes and weak.
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Boss Cao asked with a confused face.
"In the past, Army Division Chen Mu was in Japan, and I was greatly favored. But Army Division Chen Mu was in Xinye, in Jingzhou, and suffered injustice!"
"Xu Shu came here to avenge the military advisor Chen Mu!"
"Jingxiang Clan, Liu Bei!"
"Bullying Mr., you are heartless and ungrateful. I am incompatible with this thief!"
Xu Shu, who had always been weak, now had a chill in his eyes.
Xu Chu, who was behind him, couldn't help but shudder: "My mother, what's going on!"
Boss Cao left his seat suddenly and leaned over to Xu Shu's side.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Chen Mu? I'm looking for him too!"
"Mr. Chen Mu is no longer alive! He died among the rebellious army, with no bones left..."
Xu Shu touched the sad place and couldn't help crying again!
"Chen Mu is dead?"
"Chen Mu is dead?"
"Chen Mu is dead!"
Boss Cao stood up in a daze, muttered to himself and returned to his seat.
"My lord, are you okay, why are you so weird!"
Xu Chu stretched out his hand to support Boss Cao, and asked strangely.
"Oh!"
"It hurts me too!"
Boss Cao suddenly put his head in his hands, leaned over and squatted on the ground, his voice was miserable.
Got it!
The lord's headache is broken again!
On stage and off stage, there is a mess!
……
Xiangyang Inner Mansion.
Cao Cao was lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with a towel on his forehead.
His eyes were closed tightly, like a dead person.
At this time, the imperial physician who accompanied him had already stepped down, and all the ministers also dispersed.
Only Xu Chu stood at the head of the bed, tirelessly sticking to Cao Cao.
Xu Shu sat on a rattan chair in front of the bed, quietly waiting for Prime Minister Cao to wake up.
According to the imperial physician, it only takes half an hour for the prime minister to wake up!
"Yuan Zhi, military division Chen Mu, is he really dead?"
After a long time, Boss Cao did not open his eyes, but sighed and said slowly.
"In order to stop the prime minister's army, Liu Bei deceived [-] people from Xinye to serve as the queen! Military division Chen Mu was among them..."
Xu Shu remembered Xun Yu's words in Xuchang, nodded and said.
Under the cover of the nest, An You has finished the egg!
In the past, Liu Bei was defeated in Xinye and fled in embarrassment.
Hundreds of thousands of Xinye people, surrounded by thousands of armored cavalry, marched towards Jiangxia.
Although Boss Cao has tried his best to protect the people!
But once the war breaks out, the situation will be difficult to control!
In the chaotic army, the situation of the enemy and ourselves is complicated, so how can we not completely kill innocent people indiscriminately?
Dangyang County!
Changbanpo!
Hundreds of thousands of people wailed among them!
Boss Cao sighed: "In this way, I'm afraid Chen Mu is indeed dead, with no bones left!"
Xu Shu said bitterly: "If it wasn't for Liu Bei's rebellion in the past and driving away the military division, the military division would not have such a miserable end!"
"If the Jingzhou clan hadn't only cared about their own interests and rejected dissidents, they wouldn't have helped Liu Bei to push away the military commander Chen Mu and supported Zhuge Wolong!"
"The Jingxiang Clan, like Liu Bei, was the one who killed Chen Mu's army division. I'm here to make them pay for their blood!"
Xu Shu acted frankly and did not hide anything from Boss Cao.
The poor hero is useless, and the death of Yingnian is really hurtful!
Boss Cao turned over, tore off the towel from his forehead, and threw it aside.
"Yuan Zhi, do you think I will hate Chen Mu?"
Boss Cao suddenly looked up at Xu Shu and asked.
"Since the prime minister was in Xuzhou, he has suffered a lot from Chen Mu's military adviser, and he has earned 10,000+ soldiers and horses. If you say that you don't care at all, the common people don't believe it! But the prime minister is magnanimous, and he is not a villain who must pay back. He probably won't brooding."
Xu Shu recalled what Xu Du Xun Yu said in the past, and said leisurely.
"you are right."
"Gu Ping Yuan Shao, conquer Liaodong, destroy Yuan Shu, and kill Lu Bu! No one in the world dares to fight against Gu!"
"Only Jiangdong Sun Quan, taking advantage of his father and brother III's foundation, reluctantly contended."
"And Liu Bei, the mat-weaver and shoe-seller, relies on the great talent of the military adviser Chen Mu!"
"Without Chen Mu's help, Xuzhou would have been reduced to a lonely prisoner!"
Prime Minister Cao paused, turned over and wanted to get up, Xu Chu hurried forward a few steps, took some pillows and put them under Boss Cao's waist, letting him sit on his back.
"Chen Mu has repeatedly defeated me with his weak soldiers. Not only am I not angry, but I like it even more!"
"Don't fight with people and fight with the sky! In my life, I will fight endlessly, but if I want to fight with mediocre people who are traffickers and pawns in my life, it is better to die early..."
"Chen Mu is the one I admire and respect the most!"
"This time I raised a million troops to conquer Jingxiang. The intention is not Jingxiang, but Chen Mu's army division in Xinye!"
Cao Cao said suddenly.
"I know!"
Xu Shu said calmly, not surprised!
"How did you know?"
Boss Cao asked in surprise, the pain on his forehead seemed to be much better.
"When the commoner was in Xuchang, Xun Yu Shang Shuling once said that the prime minister's expedition to Jingxiang was really talented Chen Mu. The Shang Shuling also said that in the eyes of the prime minister, it is easy to get thousands of miles, but it is difficult to find talents!"
Xu Shu looked at the tired Boss Cao in front of him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable apology.
Boss Cao sighed: "Not only to Chen Mu, but also to you Yuan Zhi! As long as Yuan Zhi can be used by me, I will spare no expense!"
"It's a pity that you always have Liu Bei's heart, and you still refuse to plan for me!"
In words, extremely lonely!
"Prime Minister... the commoner is not to end up with Liu Bei, but to be loyal to Chen Mu's military adviser. Chen Mu is with Liu Bei, and Xu Shu will never oppose Liu Bei. But now, it's a different story!"
Xu Shu was full of apologies, and understood Boss Cao's heartfelt feelings, and felt ashamed.
Boss Cao forced himself up, sat up, and took a sip of the fragrant tea that Xu Chu handed over.
"When I recover from my illness, I will set up a platform to hold a funeral ceremony under Nanshan Mountain, summoning the soul and drawing banners. I will personally go to pay homage to Military Admiral Chen Mu to show my admiration and love for talents!"
Xu Shu is doubly grateful!
Two days later!
Under Nanshan Mountain, indeed, paper money was fluttering, and paper banners were fluttering.
Boss Cao personally went to the altar and recited the sacrificial words!
The words are earnest, the emotion is so strong, and weep loudly!
All the officials in the audience, and the people near and far, all shed tears!
Many people who have received Chen Mu's kindness in the past are crying to death at this moment!
Baiguan was surprised!
It turns out that Chen Mu is so kind to Jingxiang!
It's a pity that Liu Bei can't use it, otherwise it would be impossible for Prime Minister Cao's military horse to stay in Jingxiang!
……
Fankou!
The smell of burning paper horse incense drifted over.
Chen Mu is dead, Cao Cao set up an altar to summon the soul to worship!
The news of Chen Mu's death quickly spread in Fankou.
But everyone, as if they have never heard of it, dare not mention it.
Because after Xinye's losing streak, the protagonist Liu Bei hated to mention the word Chen Mu the most.
And military advisor Zhuge Liang even kept the word Chen Mu secret!
in the inner hall.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each held their bowls and ate a simple lunch.
"His grandma, when I was selling pork in Taoyuan, I was never so sleepy. The three meals a day were all what I ate. It was enough to eat even a dog!"
Looking at the vegetable leaves floating in the bowl, Zhang Sanye couldn't help but curse.
"Third brother, be content, I'm afraid this will continue like this, but in a month or so, we will even eat grass roots, and we will have to ride horses to Cao Cao's camp to fight the famine!"
Guan Yu sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said.
The small size of Fankou is really not suitable for long-term residence without external supplies.
"The military division is the same, anyway, open your mouth, why don't you ask Jiangdong for a big city? Get Fankou, the size of a shoe palm, for a bird!"
Zhang Fei said with a mouth full of resentment.
"Third brother, why are you so anxious today? Could it be related to the news from outside?"
Guan Yu's expression suddenly became infinitely lonely, and he asked with a hint of desolation.
"Second brother... Anyway, Chen Mu has helped us a lot! The elder brother is really not alone!"
Zhang Fei suppressed it for a long time, he had already admired Chen Mu's talent, but he still couldn't willingly admire Zhuge Wolong's ability.
But as Liu Bei's sworn brother, he has a blind obedience regardless of life or death!
Even if he was asked to kill Chen Mu, and then slay himself with a horizontal sword, he would do it without hesitation!
But in his heart, he misses Chen Mu very much!
"If Chen Mu's army division is here, we are in Xinye at this moment, and I'm afraid we already have as many as 20 troops!"
Guan Yu looked out of the window and said presumably.
"Is there an egg? Chen Mu has no bones left now, and there is no place for his soul to live!"
Zhang Fei got up irritable and slapped the table.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, secretly sad, recalling Chen Mu in their hearts.
……
"Chen Mu's death, my lord can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Liu Bei stood on top of the city, staring into the distance.
Ever since Xinye was defeated, he had always had a knot in his heart!
Chen Mu knows everything about our army and horse generals!
If I really turn to Cao Cao, I, Liu Bei, will have no more privacy!
Knowing myself and the enemy, I am victorious in every battle, how can I win battles?
He even suspected for a while that his successive defeats and Zhuge Liang's schemes were wrong, all because Chen Mu was already in Cao Ying, making suggestions for Cao Cao!
If he had known this before, he should have imprisoned Chen Mu in Xinye, or killed him with a single knife, so that he would never suffer from future troubles!
The news that Cao Cao paid homage to Chen Mu's soul came from the north today, which at least shows that Chen Mu will never have another chance to serve Cao Cao!
……
Inside the water village of Poyang Lake.
The general mobilization of Jiangdong people has entered a state of full preparation for war.
Just today, [-] newly recruited soldiers were transported from Jianye to Poyang Lake for systematic water combat training!
Zhou Lang's strength increased greatly, and he was overjoyed.
Cao thief in this battle, if he dares to attack, he will be taught to come and go!
In the afternoon, at the banquet, Zhou Yu and the generals exchanged cups and had a great time!
At this moment, visit Malaysia to report!
Chen Mu is dead, Cao thief set up an altar in Nanshan to worship Chen Mu's soul!
Zhou Yu, who was so excited at first, suddenly threw the wine glass on the ground and smashed it to pieces!
"There are countless heroes in the world, but Chen Mu and I are the only ones!"
"Chen Mu designed it in the past to defeat the lord and kill Ling Cao!"
"Although I hate it, I admire it even more!"
"But after today, it will be difficult to compete with him!"
Zhou Yu was hurt, so he adjusted the wine glass, offered three cups to Beiyao, and poured it on the deck!
The generals were shocked!
They each thought in their hearts: "Zhou Lang compares himself to Chen Mu. Although he may be arrogant as a mantis, he is the closest to Chen Mu's talent after all!"
Heroes cherish heroes!
Even though Wolong came here, the governor didn't buy it, and even ridiculed him many times. Chen Mu had never met, but he cherished each other, and even this!
It can be seen that Chen Mu and Zhuge Wolong are really not the same level of talent!
……
At this time, Jiang Gan, who went to Jiangdong to persuade him to surrender, was already on the river.
(End of this chapter)
Fancheng!
Zhao Yun fought endlessly with Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others.
Zhao Yun's silver armor had already been soaked in blood, his white robe was even more torn, and the palm of his hand holding the gentian silver gun was shaking constantly.
Even so!
Zhao Yun straightened his body upright, not letting himself fall down!
Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xia Houdun and other soldiers were deeply shocked by Zhao Yun's aura!
"What a loyal and righteous man!"
"What a Changshan Zhao Zilong, he will never retreat!!!"
Zhang Liao's face was solemn, and he felt admiration.
Deng Deng Deng!
The sound of iron hooves came from afar.
Xu Chu personally led the Tiger Guards to gallop all the way, the battlefield!
But when Xu Chu saw Zhao Yun's situation, he was extremely shocked.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others fought for hundreds of rounds, and they were still brave and invincible, fighting to the death without retreating!
So far!
Zhang Liao and the others still couldn't take Zhao Yun down!
This bravery and loyalty alone is enough to be admirable.
dong dong dong~
Xu Chu got off his horse and bowed to Zhao Yun to show his respect.
Seeing Xu Chu approaching, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others gradually withdrew their hands and retreated.
"Zhongkang, why did you come here suddenly, but what is the prime minister's military order?"
Zhang Liao asked suspiciously.
Xu Chu didn't reply in a hurry, but walked straight towards Zhao Yun.
Zhang Liao and others waited and watched.
There are all kinds of suspicions.
Could it be that Xu Chu wants to persuade Zhao Yun, who is determined to die, to surrender?
"Zhao Yun, look what this is!"
Xu Chu held up the brocade that his master had given him, stepped forward and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun opened the brocade in doubt.
but!
When Zhao Yun saw the two big characters 'Zilong' left on the cloth brocade, the emotions in his heart gushed out like a flood breaking a bank!
Hot tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
The scene of the past, Yiyi came to mind!
The military division turned out not to be dead!
He's been alive the whole time! ! !
Although there are only two large characters on this cloth brocade, Zhao Yun can conclude that these must be the military adviser's notes! ! !
Zhao Yun's trembling body trembled uncontrollably, and the gentian silver gun in his hand fell to the ground.
but……
Zhao Yun didn't notice it at all, and carefully held the brocade with both hands, treating it like a treasure.
Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others were stunned by such a scene.
Almost instinctively looked at Xu Chu who was at the side.
It seems to be asking him what is written in this letter?
They fought with all their strength and fought for hundreds of rounds without capturing Zhao Yun.
But Xu Chu made Zhao Yun willing to lay down his weapon just by relying on this cloth brocade!
On the other hand, Xu Chu was even more puzzled!
He also couldn't understand why Zhao Yun would put down his weapon because of the word 'Zilong'!
Just when everyone was confused, Zhao Yun slowly raised his tear-soaked face and asked weakly, "Where is he...?"
Xu Chu was stunned, thinking that Zhao Yun was referring to the current Prime Minister, subconsciously replied: "It's in Xiangyang!"
"Xiangyang..."
Zhao Yun murmured a few times, slowly raised his face, and looked towards the sky.
Scenes from the past are presented in front of my eyes like pictures.
In the past, the military division had a good time with himself, talking about the heroes of the world!
In leading the army in battle, the military adviser is also like a respected teacher, guiding himself, so that Zhao Yun is what he is today!
"Military Master, I rest in peace!"
……
But now, with the wind and rain, success or failure is turned around!
"My lord! I resisted Cao Jun for you!"
"Zilong did his best!"
Stop talking!
Zhao Yun exhausted his last sliver of strength, wanted to get up, exhausted his last sliver of strength, and the obsession in his heart dissipated with exhaustion.
His blood-soaked body fell on his back among thousands of troops.
Until the very last moment!
There was a smile on Zhao Yun's face all the time...
……
Zhang Liao and others rushed forward.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was seriously injured, everyone was shocked.
Is this Zhao Yun a ghost?
After suffering such a serious injury, he still fought fiercely!
Xu Chu reported Zhao Yun to his mount.
"Zilong, don't die. If you die, how can I explain to the prime minister?"
……
The next day.
Xiangyang.
In the big camp of the army.
Cao Cao, Xun You, Jia Xu and others discussed the strategy of Jiangdong.
On the school field outside, Xia Houyuan, Wenpin, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others performed their own skills, and their marksmanship and arrows were all excellent!
"Jiangdong water battle is invincible, but it is still difficult to resist."
"What should I do?"
Cao Cao asked.
Xun You, Jia Xu and others were silent.
At this moment, suddenly a war horse came flying like flying in the camp!
There is no one on the horseback!
The fierce horse is majestic and his voice is as hoarse as a dragon!
Come with the wind, like a whirlwind!
At this time, the generals here, although they have armor, have no weapons!
After all, Boss Cao hosted a banquet and treated his subordinates leniently. How could he carry a knife and hold a sword?
Seeing that the horse was several feet away, the distance from Boss Cao was no more than a flash.
The horse suddenly slammed on the brakes and stomped on the ground!
But the distance was too close, and he couldn't hold back. Boss Cao was shocked, and wanted to retreat, but it was too late!
Right now.
Suddenly there was a loud roar!
Cao Cao was surprised to see Xu Chu running from outside!
Xu Chu leaped out, stretched out his palm, and pressed it against the horse's forehead!
The war horse neighed, and the people stood up!
But I can't move an inch!
Xu Hanhan roared and stepped forward a few steps.
The four limbs of the war horse's waist are full of abrupt muscles, but with all four hooves retreating, it is still no match for the supernatural power of the tiger!
Right now!
Under the horse's belly, a person suddenly jumped up and stood on the horse's back.
"Congratulations, my lord, for another big victory!"
Hiding inside, someone else!
Boss Cao was furious, and when he was about to explode, when he saw this person, his anger suddenly turned into joy!
"You two are back, oops!"
"Zhongkang is back!"
"Oh, the lonely Huhou is back."
"Cao Hong!"
"This is my thousand-mile horse!"
All the civil and military ministers looked closely, and the man on the horse was slender and armored. He was the young man Cao Xiu, whom Cao Cao called the family's thousand-mile steed!
"Cao Xiu, you are so ignorant that you offended the lord, can you bear it?"
Cao Hong is Cao Xiu's uncle, and he came out with a cold face and glared at him.
"Uncle... my lord..."
Cao Xiunian was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was brave, he was also naughty.
After being reprimanded by Cao Hong for a while, he immediately obeyed and dared not make a sound.
Cao Xiu followed Zhang Liao, Zhang Ying, and Xiahou Dun to conquer Liu Bei and attack Fancheng.
I got this horse and wanted to show it off, but I just got it. I am not familiar with BMW's habits, so I couldn't control it and almost caused a catastrophe!
"What kind of war horse is this?"
Cao Cao looked at the horse and suddenly looked familiar!
The horse is two feet long, eight feet tall, burly, and red all over. Under the horse's belly, drips of sweat fell on the ground, and it was bright red.
Sweat BMW?
Red rabbit?
"Could it be that you attacked Fancheng and recaptured the Chituma?"
Cao Cao's eyes flickered, his eyes burst open!
In the past, in order to win Guan Yu over, he gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu. Unexpectedly, Guan Yu would not be moved at all, and finally left him after passing five passes and beating six generals!
Now that the situation is in turmoil, it would be a beautiful thing if the Chituma could be recaptured!
"My lord, that's not the case!"
Cao Xiu dismounted, touched a large teapot from the banquets on both sides, drank a gulp, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuff and said.
"You and Wen Yuan attacked Liu Da'er, what happened?"
Boss Cao suddenly changed the subject and asked eagerly.
"This humble minister is here to report a victory!"
Cao Xiu took out the letter written by Zhang Liao himself from his bosom, and handed it to Boss Cao.
Three days ago, Chen and others raised fifty thousand elite soldiers from Jiangxia to attack Fancheng.
Although Fancheng is concerned with powerful generals such as Zhang Zhao, there are not many soldiers, and even fewer soldiers can fight!
In less than half a day, Fancheng was captured!
Liu Bei led Guan Zhang Zhao and other generals, and fled to Fankou in embarrassment!
"Nice job!"
Boss Cao clapped his hands and laughed, and passed the good news in his hands to the ministers of civil and military affairs for a closer look.
"As soon as the lord's soldiers and horses arrived, Liu Da heard the news and fled. He was already vulnerable!"
Cao Ren laughed and said.
"It's a pity that Liu Bei escaped again this time!"
Cao Hong said bitterly, he and Cao Ren were defeated by Chen Mu when they were in Xinye, and they hated Liu Bei very much.
"My lord, Liu Da'er fled to Fankou. It seems that instead of being angry, my lord is more happy than capturing Liu Bei?"
Seeing the smiling Boss Cao, Cheng Yu asked in puzzlement.
"Haha, guess what, what did you do?"
Boss Cao looked at the civil and military people below with a smile, poured the wine glass Jin Bo into his stomach, and said.
Only by slaughtering Liu Bei can he devote himself wholeheartedly to the conquest of Jiangdong!
No matter what, no matter how weak Liu Bei is, occupying the city is definitely not a good thing!
but……
All the officials below are puzzled, and really can't figure out the reason.
"Wenhe, do you know Gu's thoughts?"
Cao Cao saw Jia Xu sitting at the end of the counselor's seat, who had been silent all the time, and asked loudly.
All eyes were on Jia Xu.
Jia Xu got up slowly and bowed in salute: "In my humble opinion, my lord is just using Liu Bei's body to calm the world!"
Boss Cao laughed loudly: "Those who know me, Jia Wenhe also, keep talking!"
"In the past, when Liu Bei stationed troops in Xinye, the lord sent troops to capture Xinye."
"Liu Bei abandoned Xinye to Jingxiang, and the lord followed him, and took down the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop!"
"Liu Bei went to Jiangxia, and went to Fancheng. The lord occupies Jiangxia, and the tiger watches Jiangdong!"
"Now Liu Bei is like a bereaved dog, completely powerless. Although he is in Fankou, it is nothing to worry about, but it is convenient for the lord to plan to destroy Guo in a false way!"
Jia Xu speaks slowly, but her water is tight and her thinking is meticulous.
"Could it be that my lord wants to use Liu Bei as a bait to attack Yizhou and Hanzhong?"
Xun You suddenly realized, and said in surprise!
Boss Cao laughed loudly: "Gongda's words are good, but the strategy is too late, so it's a little less polite!"
Xun You flushed with shame.
If it hadn't been for Jia Xu's reminder, he really would have never thought that Boss Cao had far-reaching plans. Jiangdong hadn't been taken yet, and he was already paving the way for the capture of Hanzhong and Yizhou.
"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou are also the territory of the great Han Dynasty, but they have not surrendered to the emperor for many years. The lord's righteous destruction is just in line with God's will!"
Chen Qun, Chen Lin and others echoed in agreement.
Boss Cao was full of ambition, raised his eyes, and looked in the direction of Fankou!
Liu Daer!
Let me leave you in Fankou for a few days!
After I kill Jiangdong Zhou Yu, I will deal with you again!
Villager Zhuge?
Are you not Wolong?
You crouching dragon, is it a dragon or a loach!
The dragon travels thousands of miles and swallows the world!
And you?It's just leading Liu Daershu to escape and travel thousands of miles!
When did the half-divided dragon nature show up?
Everyone in the world says that if a dragon and a phoenix are crouching, if the two get one, the world will be at peace!
Liu Bei won Wolong, not only could he not win the world, he couldn't even guard a new field!
It seems that the title of Crouching Dragon is just a false name!
Presumably, the phoenix chick that has never been seen may not be easy to get anywhere!
"My lord, what to do with this horse?"
Xu Chu's rough voice suddenly came to my ears.
Boss Cao looked down and saw that Xu Chu was still pressing down on the sweaty horses with his palm.
Although the horse was majestic, it was not tall enough, and it seemed that it was not yet fully grown, so it had no advantage against Xu Chu.
But despite this, Xu Chu exerted himself for a long time, and at this moment, the sweat dripped down his cheeks.
"Wen Lie, what's the matter with this horse?"
Boss Cao looked back at Cao Xiu.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the name of this horse is Chitu..."
The crowd was shocked!
Boss Cao couldn't help but opened his eyes wide, and re-examined the horse carefully!
The red rabbit was originally owned by Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Xiliang, and was later given to Lu Bu. After Lu Bu was killed in Baimenlou, it was in the hands of Boss Cao.
Later, in order to win over Guan Yu, Boss Cao gave Chitu to Guan Yu.
Therefore, the boss is no stranger to Chitu.
But the red rabbit in front of him, like the old red rabbit, is similar, but not exactly the same!
Cao Hong was very displeased when he saw Cao Xiu's appearance of showing off, "Cao Xiu, what's going on, I don't want to explain it in detail!"
"Yes!"
Cao Xiu bowed and said.
"Among Jingxiang, there are many horse dealers traveling to and from Xiliang."
"It is said that the Chitu family is a rare horse breed in Xiliang. Even so, there are also Chitus in Jingxiang!"
"Although the red rabbit is a famous horse, it is a male horse that gallops thousands of miles without getting tired. Although a female horse has the shape of a red rabbit, it cannot travel far, and its foot strength is no different from that of an ordinary war horse!"
"It is for this reason that red rabbits have become even more scarce."
"The horse dealers in Jingxiang have a red rabbit mare in their hands. In the past, Guan Yu was recognized by the horse dealers as soon as he arrived in Jingxiang, and he secretly paired it with a female horse, which made his red rabbit stallion a bit romantic..."
Boss Cao laughed out loud!
"Could it be that the Chituma, who was all-powerful in the past, has lost his virginity when he arrives on the ground of Jingxiang, and married a wife and had children?"
boom!
The ministers laughed!
Cao Xiu and the others laughed slightly, and continued: "Fortunately, the pony that was born is a stallion! It is the red rabbit horse!"
When Cao Xiu said this, his voice trembled a little, and his excitement was beyond words.
"really?"
Boss Cao walked down quickly and came to Chitu. After a long while, he stretched out his hand to wipe the bright red sweat and blood on his abdomen, and nodded repeatedly.
"Sure enough, after the red rabbit, this figure is not inferior to that red rabbit at all!"
Cao Xiu smiled, approached Boss Cao, and said in a low voice: "According to the horse dealers, this male red rabbit horse cannot be castrated, and if it is castrated, its physical strength and endurance will be greatly reduced. But once the mating is completed, the true energy will be released." , that old red rabbit horse, I am afraid that he will also be like a strong man who indulges in lust, his physical fitness is declining day by day!"
"Haha, Chitu has a queen, he old Chitu, it's time to retire!"
Boss Cao said with a smile.
At this time, Cao Cao turned to ask Xu Chu.
"Where's Zhao Yun?"
Obviously, Cao Cao did not forget Zhao Yun at all.
"Zhao Yun is behind."
Soon after, Zhao Yun was brought before Cao Cao.
above the theme.
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun, who had already released more air and less air, and shouted anxiously, "How could this be!"
"Didn't I say I wanted to save his life?"
"If Zhao Yun is dead, what's the point of me wanting a corpse!"
"go with!"
"Search all the famous doctors in the world for me, as long as he can cure Zhao Yun, he can choose from officials, treasures, gold, and fertile land!"
Zhang Liao and others hurriedly bowed and said, "Prime Minister calm down, it is not we who want to kill Zhao Yun."
"It's Zhao Yun who will fight to the death without surrendering, and fight with exhaustion!"
"It wasn't until Huhou arrived and showed Zhao Yun a roll of brocade that he gave up his resistance."
"It was also from then on that Zhao Yun's last trace of strength dissipated!"
"Tiger Hou!"
Cao Cao was surprised, and looked at Xu Chu suspiciously.
Civil servants.
Xun You, Cheng Yu, Chen Qun and others also looked at Xu Chu suspiciously.
"What did Zhongkang show Zhao Yun?! To make him give up resistance?" Cheng Yu frowned deeply, and said inwardly in surprise.
Looking at Xun You, Chen Qun and others, they also scratched their heads.
After thinking about it, he certainly couldn't figure out Xu Chu's strategy.
However, thinking about it, everyone has gradually given up on guessing.
You must know that even they couldn't think of how to get Zhao Yun to surrender, but when Xu Chu went out, he didn't even say a word, and only handed Zhao Yun a roll of brocade to make him give up resistance.
This kind of ability can't help but make them a little ashamed.
"Zhongkang!"
"What did you show Zhao Yun?"
Cao Cao asked.
"Hehe~"
Xu Chu scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Actually, I don't know too well."
"Zhao Yun just asked me where the prime minister is."
"I said it was in Xiangyang, and then Zhao Yun gave up resisting."
As soon as this word comes out.
Full silence.
All the civil and military officials present, even Cao Cao, looked at each other in blank dismay.
"It's that simple?"
Cao Cao asked again and again in disbelief.
"hold head high……"
Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then nodded dully and said, "Yes, that's what I said."
a time.
The people present became more and more suspicious.
"Just said a word????"
Xun You and the others froze on the spot for an instant, feeling extremely discouraged and remorseful in their hearts!
If I had known this earlier, I might as well have gone out on my own at that time!
With such a great contribution, I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.
It's just for nothing! ! !
But having said that, even if it was so simple, under the circumstances at that time, they probably didn't have the courage and courage to do it.
"Huhou is brave and resourceful, and can stand alone. It seems that in the future, we will have to rely on Huhou."
Jia Xu walked forward with a smile, said with cupped hands.
Hearing this, Xu Chu smiled awkwardly, imitated Jia Xu's movements, cupped his hands in return and said, "Sir, you are joking."
"OK OK."
Cao Cao waved his hand, walked slowly to the middle of the hall, patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said, "Zhongkang, you did a good job in this matter!"
"I will send someone to deliver the reward to you later."
"If you can save Zhao Yun, I will reward you!"
"Forehead……"
Xu Chu was stunned, looked at Zhao Yun who was hanging on his breath, nodded dully and said, "No!"
……
"Report!"
"Letter from Xuchang!"
The small school outside the gate hurried in, followed by the scouts sent by Xu Chang.
Xun Yu's letter!
In order to prepare enough food, grass and military pay, the minister will set off today, and it will arrive in Jingzhou in less than ten days!
Also!
Xu Shu has surrendered and is currently on his way to Jingxiang. I hope the lord will treat him kindly!
I have no shortage of millions of soldiers, but Xu Shu has the talent of one man!
Boss Cao suddenly got up, laughing loudly!
I was worried about how to deal with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's nemesis came!
Xu Shu is here, why am I afraid of Zhou Yu?
……
When Cao Cao was overjoyed, Xu Chu suddenly thought of it.
"hey-hey!"
"Boss, how about you rewarding me with this horse?"
Xu Chu, who was sitting down, suddenly came to Boss Cao with a silly smile and asked.
what!
Cao Ren almost jumped up.
This Xu Chu is really thick-skinned enough to ask for a reward!
The red rabbit horse is unparalleled in the world, how can it be easily rewarded to others?
In the past, the prime minister got the red rabbit horse from Lu Bu, and the soldiers who sat down had a lot of credit, didn't they never get it?
Finally fell into the hands of Guan Yu.
Xia Houyuan spat: "This Xu Chu, who insists on being favored in front of the prime minister, acts like no one else!"
Cao Hong looked sullen, but he had no choice but to hold back!
Like Xiahou Dun, he has always been jealous of the close relationship between Xu Chu and Boss Cao!
Obviously, I am from the Cao family, but I am not as good as an outsider!
It can be called hateful!
And you Xu Chu!
However, in recent days, he has done a few minor meritorious deeds, but the lord already has a reward, so how dare he say it easily and ask for such a noble reward!
Still in vain to ask for a reward!
Cao Xiu, who was nearby, heard that Xu Chu begged for the red rabbit horse, subconsciously seemed to protect his own things, and hurried to lead the red rabbit horse, but found that the silk rein of the red rabbit horse had already been in Xu Chu's hands!
He will attack Fancheng with Zhang Liao, Zhang Yun and others, and he has made a lot of contributions!
Zhang Liao sent him back on the captured red rabbit horse to report the victory, and secretly sold him a favor!
If you go here to repay the victory, the prime minister will be overjoyed and will definitely reward you with the red rabbit horse you ride!
As for reporting the origin of Chituma!It's just a formality!
After all, with such a famous horse, if you steal it for yourself quietly, wouldn't it appear that you have lost sight of the lord?
It's just that the red rabbit horse was young, coupled with the rush of time, and was not well trained, so it almost ran into the lord, but it gave Xu Chu a chance to be the savior...
"Oh?"
"What merit do you have to ask for this reward?"
When Boss Cao heard the news that Xu Shu was coming, he was in an extremely good mood, so he also spoke in a pleasant manner.
What's more, he has always liked Xu Chu very much.
"I don't have any credit, I just think, if one day the master is in danger, I will carry the master on the horse and run away, I will escape with my life, and I won't die there like Dian Wei!"
Xu Chu scratched his scalp, and said stupidly after thinking hard.
That loyal and foolish look is extremely cute.
The smile on Boss Cao's face suddenly disappeared.
Wancheng...
Painful loss of Dianwei!
That is his eternal pain!
Everyone sees the mistake of one trick, so how can they do it again?
"Master, if you are reluctant, I won't. Don't be angry!"
Xu Chu saw that Boss Cao's complexion became serious, fearing to offend the Prime Minister, he hurriedly said in a low voice.
"No!"
"Gu announces now that this red rabbit new horse will be given to my tiger idiot, Xu Chu!"
Boss Cao suddenly raised his head and announced loudly.
Whoa!
There was a commotion below!
Cao Xiu rolled his eyelids in anger and almost passed out!
If I had known that I traveled thousands of miles to make wedding clothes for Xu Chu, an idiot!
I might as well keep this horse secretly for myself!
Even if you want to sell it for money, it is also called priceless, why bother to make this tiger idiot cheaper!
The tiger idiot Xu Chu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Boss Cao: "Thank you, my lord, I, Xu Chu, thank you, my lord!"
At this moment, he was thinking in his heart!
That gentleman has always refused to come out to assist my master.
Could it be that I haven't coaxed him enough and is still testing me?
BMW, beauty!
From Mr., I have already snatched two stunning beauties from Changbanpo and sent them over. If I also give him this rare red rabbit horse, it will definitely make him happy!
Maybe when I am happy, I will come to see the lord with me!
……
night!
Xiangyang Prefecture.
in the bedroom.
The candle flickered.
From time to time, I saw military doctors walking in and out.
It was supposed to be the couch where Cao Cao rested, but now it was Zhao Yun who was dying.
As for Cao Cao, he waited by Zhao Yun's side for the whole day, asking the military doctor about his condition.
"Don't care whether the herbs are cherished or not, as long as you can save Zhao Yun, it is worth spending thousands of gold!"
In the room, Cao Cao reprimanded the military doctor.
But when he suddenly found Zhao Yun, who was seriously injured beside him, his voice was instinctively lowered a lot, and he waved his hand to signal the military doctor to back down.
thereafter.
Cao Cao returned to Zhao Yun's side again, paying attention to his situation.
On this occasion.
Jia Xu and others also came from not far away, looked at the situation in the bedroom, and asked Zhang Liao who was waiting outside the door: "Wen Yuan, the prime minister has been here?"
Zhang Liao and others have already returned from a big victory.
Zhang Liao nodded slightly and said, "Yes! The prime minister never left half a step."
"In order to save Zhao Yun, the prime minister has not eaten for a whole day."
Having said that, Zhang Liao couldn't help showing a little worry on his face.
When Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and the others heard the words, they also felt admiration in their hearts.
With this lord, it is hard to repay his kindness even if he dies!
"The prime minister's love for talents is admirable!"
"It is a lifetime of luck to meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty!"
Cheng Yu let out a long sigh.
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao nodded slightly, his eyes full of reverence.
Previously, he was a general under Lu Bu's command.
Since Lu Bu was captured, Zhang Liao was also ready to die.
But Cao Cao didn't think of his crime and entrusted him with his identity.
This kind of favor alone is hard to repay even though death!
……
Chen Mu courtyard.
Xu Chu walked in from the door with a good wine in his hand while laughing.
"Sir! Hahaha!"
"Sure enough, Zhao Yun is here!"
talking room.
A crisp sound resounded in the courtyard instantly.
Xu Chu looked over and found that it was the two maids serving Mr. who broke the prepared meal.
Xu Chu asked suspiciously: "I said Zhao Yun is here, why are you so excited?"
"Although it is said that Zhao Yun is handsome and loyal, but you are serving Mr., so you can't have distracting thoughts."
When Chen Mu heard this, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly.
This ramming goods!The identities of Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan are unclear.
He even said such a thing!
When Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan were stunned, Chen Mu slowly stepped forward and said, "You guys go down first!"
After this sound.
Mrs. Mi and Mrs. Gan also recovered from the shock, bowed their heads and said: "No."
As the two wives retreated one after another, Chen Mu looked at Xu Chu and said, "Zilong has come to Xiangyang?"
Xu Chu nodded heavily: "Thanks for the master plan!"
Chen Mu waved his hand.
He remembered the news that Zhao Yun fought four generals with one man, preventing thirty thousand soldiers from approaching.
Chen Mu was naturally aware of Zhao Yun's strength.
Although he is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, he is not invincible in this world.
And when I was following Liu Bei, what I was most optimistic about was Zhao Yun's loyalty and courage!
He is also the person who cares about Zhao Yun the most.
In this battle, Zhao Yun is bound to suffer!
Chen Mu thought so, looked at Xu Chu and said, "You arrange someone to go to Nanjun to find an old man."
"The old man?!"
Xu Chu was startled, scratched his head in doubt and said, "What old man?"
"Hua Tuo!"
"Let Hua Tuo come to Xiangyang to treat Zilong's injuries!"
Xu Chu was shocked when he heard this.
Mr. is a god!
Before he even opened his mouth, Mr. has guessed what he was thinking!
"Please rest assured, sir!"
"I will immediately arrange for Tiger Guards to go to Nanjun!"
"Even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up!!!"
Xu Chu said heavily, and strode away from the small courtyard like meteors.
……
a day later.
Xiangyang.
Although it has just gone through a war, it looks extremely clean at this time.
Not only was it clean, it was spotless.
In the early morning, the city gate of Xiangyang was wide open, and dozens of soldiers, carrying buckets and brooms, swept the ground under the gate.
"My lord, why is this so!"
Liu Ye and other advisers followed Boss Cao, looking at the soldiers sweeping the ground below the city.
"Yuanzhi traveled thousands of miles and came from Xuchang to join me. How could I not welcome him sincerely?"
Boss Cao stroked his black beard and said with a smile.
"Even so, it's a great pomp to have a few of us waiting again, so why bother the Prime Minister to wait in person!"
Cheng Yu also felt very uncomfortable.
He, Xun You, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, etc. all came here when Boss Cao was not in power and was in trouble, and none of them enjoyed such kindness.
Now that Prime Minister Cao is in a high position, with numerous generals under his command and millions of horses, why does he treat a mere Xu Shu so favorably!
If you are so out of line, aren't you afraid that everyone will be chilled by me!
"Boss, it seems to be here!"
Behind him, Xu Chu pointed to the distance with his hand and shouted in a rough voice.
really!
miles away.
A war horse came treading the dust from far away, although he couldn't see clearly, but inferred, it must be Xu Shu!
During the war, Xiangyang had just been captured. At this time, besides Xu Shu, who Xun Yu wrote to tell him to join him, who else could be there?
"Go down to the city with Gu, and welcome Mr. Yuan Zhi!"
Boss Cao looked carefully for a while, and the horses in the distance kept approaching, and he could almost see his figure clearly!
It really is Xu Yuanzhi!
Boss Cao went first, and Xu Chu followed closely behind, holding the Yitian sword in his hand.
Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xun You and several other great counselors followed, went down to the city together, and came outside the city gate.
far away.
From afar, Xu Shu saw Boss Cao standing on the official road outside the city gate with a wide robe and sleeves, looking at him with a smile, and waving repeatedly.
Xu Shu hurriedly rolled off the saddle, took the rein in his hand, and hurried forward.
Boss Cao also walked forward quickly.
"Yuanzhi!"
"I want to kill my lonely family!"
"You really came to help me!"
Boss Cao held Xu Shu's arm tightly and said excitedly.
"Prime Minister, Commoner Xu Shu, pay homage to the Prime Minister!"
Xu Shu looked quite calm, he gently broke free from Boss Cao's hand, and bowed slowly to salute.
"You're welcome! You're welcome!"
"Let's go! Go to the city first. Yuan Zhi has worked hard all the way. Seeing that you are so haggard, you must have suffered..."
Boss Cao, who has always cherished words like gold, suddenly became chattery at this time, asking his relatives and caring, and being extremely attentive.
"Hey Hey Hey!"
Xu Chu followed behind, just smirking, and wanted to interrupt for a few words, but really didn't know what to say.
He was not familiar with Xu Shu, but for some reason, from the first time he saw Xu Shu, he felt that this person was very familiar, as if he could see the shadow of Mr. Xu Shu.
"Hey, as soon as Xu Shu came, we were left a hundred and eight thousand miles away!"
Liu Ye followed far behind, and secretly said to Cheng Yu.
"Someone advises us, and we end up in peace, why not?"
Cheng Yu smiled, as if he didn't care, but there was a little bit of jealousy in his eyes.
Xun You smiled softly: "Our advisers can't share our lord's worries, and have suffered Zhou Yu's schemes many times. I am afraid that the prime minister treats Xu Shu so favorably because he wants him to deal with Jiangdong Zhou Lang!"
"I just don't know if it will work!"
……
Inside Xiangyang Mansion.
Civil and military side by side.
This is also the most complete banquet for Boss Cao's subordinates since the capture of Jingxiang!
General Assembly civil and military, water and land Bi Chen!
"Yuan Zhi, come here, sit with me!"
Boss Cao took Xu Shu's hand, came to the banquet, and directly set up a seat on his right hand.
"Prime Minister, how dare a commoner sit up!"
Xu Shu's face was pale and he didn't dare to sit down!
There are many people in this hall who are used to fighting and fighting bloody battles in the world, and there are also capable people who have strategized and made outstanding achievements repeatedly!
There are several people who are enfeoffed as marquises, and there are countless people who are temporarily appointed by the court!
I'm a mere commoner, how dare I sit down!
"Gu let you sit here, you just sit there!"
"You came today, this is to clean up the dust for you, you are the protagonist!"
Boss Cao was full of pride and said with a big smile.
"The prime minister is so kind, the commoner dare not accept it, so please ask the prime minister to take it back."
Xu Shu hesitated and stood by, refusing to take a seat.
The civil and military officials in the stage looked at Boss Cao and Xu Shu, and they stood separately.
"Hi! My lord let you sit, so you can just sit here. Why do you care about the rules?"
Xu Chu was irritable and couldn't bear it any longer. He lifted Xu Shu up with his hand and put him on the seat.
"It is! It is!"
"Hu Hou is absolutely right!"
Boss Cao's embarrassment was resolved by Xu Chu, and while laughing, he turned his head and cast an approving look at Xu Chu behind him.
Xu Chu smirked.
At this time, he regarded Xu Shu in front of him as a gentleman from the other courtyard in Xiangyang.
If the master is here, how can he be listed with those hundreds of officials?
Take another high seat!
"Everyone, today is the happiest day since I started the incident!"
"Why? It's just because Yuanzhi traveled thousands of miles and came here from Xuchang to join him. Since then, he has stood side by side with me and served the great man together!"
"You wait for everyone, don't wait for Yuan Zhi, wronged the great talent, or let me know, I must forgive you!"
"Drink this cup full, from now on you wait, work together!"
While Boss Cao was speaking, he couldn't help looking past Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others.
Among all the generals in the camp, Cao and Xiahou were the only ones who were associated with each other, and there were many deceptive and xenophobic things.
"Prime Minister, Commoner has something to say, and I want to say it face to face."
Xu Shu didn't raise his glass.
"Haha, Yuan Zhi, the future is long, why worry!"
"Drink this cup first, before it's too late."
Boss Cao held the wine glass in his left hand, leaned over to pick up Xu Shu's wine glass with his right hand, and handed it over.
Cao Ren's face darkened: "This Xu Shu really doesn't know what to do!"
Cao Hong sneered: "The hypocrisy is extreme! He only cared about his fame, but let the prime minister humbly accommodate him!"
Xiahou Dun squeezed the wine glass resentfully: "I waited for the three generals to take Xiangyang bravely, but I want to throw him a big banquet to clean up the dust! Isn't it time to hold a celebration banquet for Zhang Liao and me?"
Zhang Liao was at his side, persuading in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, why bother! We attack Xiangyang in name, but there is not much obstruction in reality. Could it be that our hundred thousand soldiers were blocked by Zilong alone, and we missed capturing Liu Bei and had a banquet?" Preaching?"
Xiahou Dun's only remaining eyeball stared like a copper bell, but he opened his mouth many times, but couldn't speak.
Xu Shu was still immersed in the grief of losing his mentor Chen Mu, facing the cheering banquet, he was very uncomfortable.
But Boss Cao's great kindness, but he couldn't let it down, so he reluctantly took the wine glass in Cao Cao's hand, paid a respectful circle, and drank it with his head raised.
Boss Cao was overjoyed, and after returning to his seat, he filled a glass again.
"Yuanzhi, you're here this time, so I don't have to worry about anything!"
Boss Cao let out a long breath, and said as if he was relieved from a heavy burden.
"The prime minister commanded millions of troops, and they were destroyed all the way. Starting from Xinye, they won Jingxiang without bloodshed, captured Jiangxia, and fought against Xiangyang."
"Wherever I go, I flee from the wind, so why worry?"
Xu Shu turned the wine glass in his hand and said slowly.
"Yuanzhi doesn't know something, and I have my own difficulties!"
Boss Cao scratched his head: "Jingxiang Marine Division was completely set on fire by Jiangdong Zhou Yu!"
"Training the navy, without a suitable commander, and delaying it for a long time, is very wasteful! I really can't afford to spend a million soldiers..."
Although Boss Cao had promised to help Xu Shu, he still couldn't help but vomit bitterness to Xu Shu.
"Prime Minister..."
Xu Shu bowed his head in silence, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said.
"Oh? Please tell me if you have something to say!"
"Please tell me..."
Boss Cao also realized that he had talked too much, so he hurriedly gestured for Xu Shu to speak.
"Prime Minister, Xu Shu is not here for the prime minister's confrontation between the two armies."
Xu Shu's expression showed a trace of exhaustion, and his voice became vicissitudes and weak.
"Oh? How do you say that?"
Boss Cao asked with a confused face.
"In the past, Army Division Chen Mu was in Japan, and I was greatly favored. But Army Division Chen Mu was in Xinye, in Jingzhou, and suffered injustice!"
"Xu Shu came here to avenge the military advisor Chen Mu!"
"Jingxiang Clan, Liu Bei!"
"Bullying Mr., you are heartless and ungrateful. I am incompatible with this thief!"
Xu Shu, who had always been weak, now had a chill in his eyes.
Xu Chu, who was behind him, couldn't help but shudder: "My mother, what's going on!"
Boss Cao left his seat suddenly and leaned over to Xu Shu's side.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Chen Mu? I'm looking for him too!"
"Mr. Chen Mu is no longer alive! He died among the rebellious army, with no bones left..."
Xu Shu touched the sad place and couldn't help crying again!
"Chen Mu is dead?"
"Chen Mu is dead?"
"Chen Mu is dead!"
Boss Cao stood up in a daze, muttered to himself and returned to his seat.
"My lord, are you okay, why are you so weird!"
Xu Chu stretched out his hand to support Boss Cao, and asked strangely.
"Oh!"
"It hurts me too!"
Boss Cao suddenly put his head in his hands, leaned over and squatted on the ground, his voice was miserable.
Got it!
The lord's headache is broken again!
On stage and off stage, there is a mess!
……
Xiangyang Inner Mansion.
Cao Cao was lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with a towel on his forehead.
His eyes were closed tightly, like a dead person.
At this time, the imperial physician who accompanied him had already stepped down, and all the ministers also dispersed.
Only Xu Chu stood at the head of the bed, tirelessly sticking to Cao Cao.
Xu Shu sat on a rattan chair in front of the bed, quietly waiting for Prime Minister Cao to wake up.
According to the imperial physician, it only takes half an hour for the prime minister to wake up!
"Yuan Zhi, military division Chen Mu, is he really dead?"
After a long time, Boss Cao did not open his eyes, but sighed and said slowly.
"In order to stop the prime minister's army, Liu Bei deceived [-] people from Xinye to serve as the queen! Military division Chen Mu was among them..."
Xu Shu remembered Xun Yu's words in Xuchang, nodded and said.
Under the cover of the nest, An You has finished the egg!
In the past, Liu Bei was defeated in Xinye and fled in embarrassment.
Hundreds of thousands of Xinye people, surrounded by thousands of armored cavalry, marched towards Jiangxia.
Although Boss Cao has tried his best to protect the people!
But once the war breaks out, the situation will be difficult to control!
In the chaotic army, the situation of the enemy and ourselves is complicated, so how can we not completely kill innocent people indiscriminately?
Dangyang County!
Changbanpo!
Hundreds of thousands of people wailed among them!
Boss Cao sighed: "In this way, I'm afraid Chen Mu is indeed dead, with no bones left!"
Xu Shu said bitterly: "If it wasn't for Liu Bei's rebellion in the past and driving away the military division, the military division would not have such a miserable end!"
"If the Jingzhou clan hadn't only cared about their own interests and rejected dissidents, they wouldn't have helped Liu Bei to push away the military commander Chen Mu and supported Zhuge Wolong!"
"The Jingxiang Clan, like Liu Bei, was the one who killed Chen Mu's army division. I'm here to make them pay for their blood!"
Xu Shu acted frankly and did not hide anything from Boss Cao.
The poor hero is useless, and the death of Yingnian is really hurtful!
Boss Cao turned over, tore off the towel from his forehead, and threw it aside.
"Yuan Zhi, do you think I will hate Chen Mu?"
Boss Cao suddenly looked up at Xu Shu and asked.
"Since the prime minister was in Xuzhou, he has suffered a lot from Chen Mu's military adviser, and he has earned 10,000+ soldiers and horses. If you say that you don't care at all, the common people don't believe it! But the prime minister is magnanimous, and he is not a villain who must pay back. He probably won't brooding."
Xu Shu recalled what Xu Du Xun Yu said in the past, and said leisurely.
"you are right."
"Gu Ping Yuan Shao, conquer Liaodong, destroy Yuan Shu, and kill Lu Bu! No one in the world dares to fight against Gu!"
"Only Jiangdong Sun Quan, taking advantage of his father and brother III's foundation, reluctantly contended."
"And Liu Bei, the mat-weaver and shoe-seller, relies on the great talent of the military adviser Chen Mu!"
"Without Chen Mu's help, Xuzhou would have been reduced to a lonely prisoner!"
Prime Minister Cao paused, turned over and wanted to get up, Xu Chu hurried forward a few steps, took some pillows and put them under Boss Cao's waist, letting him sit on his back.
"Chen Mu has repeatedly defeated me with his weak soldiers. Not only am I not angry, but I like it even more!"
"Don't fight with people and fight with the sky! In my life, I will fight endlessly, but if I want to fight with mediocre people who are traffickers and pawns in my life, it is better to die early..."
"Chen Mu is the one I admire and respect the most!"
"This time I raised a million troops to conquer Jingxiang. The intention is not Jingxiang, but Chen Mu's army division in Xinye!"
Cao Cao said suddenly.
"I know!"
Xu Shu said calmly, not surprised!
"How did you know?"
Boss Cao asked in surprise, the pain on his forehead seemed to be much better.
"When the commoner was in Xuchang, Xun Yu Shang Shuling once said that the prime minister's expedition to Jingxiang was really talented Chen Mu. The Shang Shuling also said that in the eyes of the prime minister, it is easy to get thousands of miles, but it is difficult to find talents!"
Xu Shu looked at the tired Boss Cao in front of him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable apology.
Boss Cao sighed: "Not only to Chen Mu, but also to you Yuan Zhi! As long as Yuan Zhi can be used by me, I will spare no expense!"
"It's a pity that you always have Liu Bei's heart, and you still refuse to plan for me!"
In words, extremely lonely!
"Prime Minister... the commoner is not to end up with Liu Bei, but to be loyal to Chen Mu's military adviser. Chen Mu is with Liu Bei, and Xu Shu will never oppose Liu Bei. But now, it's a different story!"
Xu Shu was full of apologies, and understood Boss Cao's heartfelt feelings, and felt ashamed.
Boss Cao forced himself up, sat up, and took a sip of the fragrant tea that Xu Chu handed over.
"When I recover from my illness, I will set up a platform to hold a funeral ceremony under Nanshan Mountain, summoning the soul and drawing banners. I will personally go to pay homage to Military Admiral Chen Mu to show my admiration and love for talents!"
Xu Shu is doubly grateful!
Two days later!
Under Nanshan Mountain, indeed, paper money was fluttering, and paper banners were fluttering.
Boss Cao personally went to the altar and recited the sacrificial words!
The words are earnest, the emotion is so strong, and weep loudly!
All the officials in the audience, and the people near and far, all shed tears!
Many people who have received Chen Mu's kindness in the past are crying to death at this moment!
Baiguan was surprised!
It turns out that Chen Mu is so kind to Jingxiang!
It's a pity that Liu Bei can't use it, otherwise it would be impossible for Prime Minister Cao's military horse to stay in Jingxiang!
……
Fankou!
The smell of burning paper horse incense drifted over.
Chen Mu is dead, Cao Cao set up an altar to summon the soul to worship!
The news of Chen Mu's death quickly spread in Fankou.
But everyone, as if they have never heard of it, dare not mention it.
Because after Xinye's losing streak, the protagonist Liu Bei hated to mention the word Chen Mu the most.
And military advisor Zhuge Liang even kept the word Chen Mu secret!
in the inner hall.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each held their bowls and ate a simple lunch.
"His grandma, when I was selling pork in Taoyuan, I was never so sleepy. The three meals a day were all what I ate. It was enough to eat even a dog!"
Looking at the vegetable leaves floating in the bowl, Zhang Sanye couldn't help but curse.
"Third brother, be content, I'm afraid this will continue like this, but in a month or so, we will even eat grass roots, and we will have to ride horses to Cao Cao's camp to fight the famine!"
Guan Yu sighed, shook his head with a wry smile and said.
The small size of Fankou is really not suitable for long-term residence without external supplies.
"The military division is the same, anyway, open your mouth, why don't you ask Jiangdong for a big city? Get Fankou, the size of a shoe palm, for a bird!"
Zhang Fei said with a mouth full of resentment.
"Third brother, why are you so anxious today? Could it be related to the news from outside?"
Guan Yu's expression suddenly became infinitely lonely, and he asked with a hint of desolation.
"Second brother... Anyway, Chen Mu has helped us a lot! The elder brother is really not alone!"
Zhang Fei suppressed it for a long time, he had already admired Chen Mu's talent, but he still couldn't willingly admire Zhuge Wolong's ability.
But as Liu Bei's sworn brother, he has a blind obedience regardless of life or death!
Even if he was asked to kill Chen Mu, and then slay himself with a horizontal sword, he would do it without hesitation!
But in his heart, he misses Chen Mu very much!
"If Chen Mu's army division is here, we are in Xinye at this moment, and I'm afraid we already have as many as 20 troops!"
Guan Yu looked out of the window and said presumably.
"Is there an egg? Chen Mu has no bones left now, and there is no place for his soul to live!"
Zhang Fei got up irritable and slapped the table.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, secretly sad, recalling Chen Mu in their hearts.
……
"Chen Mu's death, my lord can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
As Zhuge Liang spoke, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Liu Bei stood on top of the city, staring into the distance.
Ever since Xinye was defeated, he had always had a knot in his heart!
Chen Mu knows everything about our army and horse generals!
If I really turn to Cao Cao, I, Liu Bei, will have no more privacy!
Knowing myself and the enemy, I am victorious in every battle, how can I win battles?
He even suspected for a while that his successive defeats and Zhuge Liang's schemes were wrong, all because Chen Mu was already in Cao Ying, making suggestions for Cao Cao!
If he had known this before, he should have imprisoned Chen Mu in Xinye, or killed him with a single knife, so that he would never suffer from future troubles!
The news that Cao Cao paid homage to Chen Mu's soul came from the north today, which at least shows that Chen Mu will never have another chance to serve Cao Cao!
……
Inside the water village of Poyang Lake.
The general mobilization of Jiangdong people has entered a state of full preparation for war.
Just today, [-] newly recruited soldiers were transported from Jianye to Poyang Lake for systematic water combat training!
Zhou Lang's strength increased greatly, and he was overjoyed.
Cao thief in this battle, if he dares to attack, he will be taught to come and go!
In the afternoon, at the banquet, Zhou Yu and the generals exchanged cups and had a great time!
At this moment, visit Malaysia to report!
Chen Mu is dead, Cao thief set up an altar in Nanshan to worship Chen Mu's soul!
Zhou Yu, who was so excited at first, suddenly threw the wine glass on the ground and smashed it to pieces!
"There are countless heroes in the world, but Chen Mu and I are the only ones!"
"Chen Mu designed it in the past to defeat the lord and kill Ling Cao!"
"Although I hate it, I admire it even more!"
"But after today, it will be difficult to compete with him!"
Zhou Yu was hurt, so he adjusted the wine glass, offered three cups to Beiyao, and poured it on the deck!
The generals were shocked!
They each thought in their hearts: "Zhou Lang compares himself to Chen Mu. Although he may be arrogant as a mantis, he is the closest to Chen Mu's talent after all!"
Heroes cherish heroes!
Even though Wolong came here, the governor didn't buy it, and even ridiculed him many times. Chen Mu had never met, but he cherished each other, and even this!
It can be seen that Chen Mu and Zhuge Wolong are really not the same level of talent!
……
At this time, Jiang Gan, who went to Jiangdong to persuade him to surrender, was already on the river.
