Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 20: One thing conquers another, Tiger Chi defeats Crouching Dragon?
Xu Chu thought about it, feeling very lucky.

However, Cao Cao was not affected by the indignation of the crowd at the moment.

Hearing them say this, instead of feeling happy, he immediately interrupted everyone's discussion.

"Okay, there's no point in saying nice things like killing the thieves now. After all, anyone can say that."

"The vanguard troops have already set out. The most urgent task is to alert Cao Ren as soon as possible."

"Xiahou Dun has been tricked by Zhuge Liang, so that's fine. But I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake."

When everyone heard the news, some soldiers immediately took orders to retreat.

Seeing that the instructions had been given, the meeting ended.

Everyone was about to disperse.

Xu Chu also planned to run away.

However, he didn't expect that before he had taken two steps, Cao Cao behind him called him again.

"Everyone, please step back."

"Zhongkang, wait a minute, I have something to tell you..."

"There are some important military and national affairs that I would like to discuss with you, Gongda and others."

Cao Cao spoke with a smile.

Standing beside him at this moment were Xun You, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others.

It can be said that it is the top think tank under Cao Cao.

Being able to join them is the dream of many literati in Xuchang.

This means Cao Cao's absolute trust in him and his approval of his strategy.

Thinking of this, many civil servants' eyes turned red.

Look at Xu Chu, this burly and strong man who looks like a rough man.

I even felt like my teeth were about to break.

"what?"

"You want to discuss military and national affairs with me?"

After hearing this, Xu Chu was also dumbfounded.

There is no joy in my heart at this moment.

It felt like a husky had sneaked into a wolf pack.

Instead, I felt extremely guilty.

……

Newfield.

Just like Xiahou Dun before him, Cao Ren looked at the empty city and proudly opened a bottle of champagne.

"Humph, Zhuge Liang, he is just a man of sinister means. No matter what his strategies are, they are useless."

"Yes, the road from Bowangpo to Xinye is completely flat. Even if Zhuge Liang has all the tricks, what can he do? The 100,000 people in Xinye, including women and children, are no match for us. No matter how hard they resist, the end result is death."

"Let's go into the city! Today, Cao has captured the city without a single drop of blood. This will be a great story when the news spreads."

"Hahaha!"

Cao Ren took the lead.

At this moment, they rushed into Xinye City.

The more I thought about it, the prouder I felt.

He couldn't help but looked up and burst into laughter.

suddenly--

The sound of horse hooves rang in my ears.

A fast horse came straight towards Cao Ren from outside Xinye City.

"General!"

"Urgent news! Urgent news from Xuchang!"

"General, the Prime Minister has sent an urgent message of 800 miles. We must deliver it to the General as soon as possible!"

The spy dismounted and reported.

"What, 800 miles express?!"

Cao Ren was shocked.

He immediately took the secret letter from the spy and started to look at it.

However, after just two glances, the expression on his face became complicated.

At this moment, the colors are alternately blue and red, just like a dyeing factory.

Look at his expression change, so drastically.

The close confidants around him were naturally curious as well.

He spoke subconsciously and asked.

"General, what did the Prime Minister say in this 800-mile rush?"

"You'll know for yourself when you see it."

"I don't know which idiot advised the Prime Minister to be careful of Zhuge Liang using his old tricks again..."

“It’s a joke.”

"This isn't Bowangpo, why are we using fire? Are we going to burn down the entire Xinye City?"

Cao Ren couldn't help but sneer at the end of his speech.

He obviously showed great disdain for this.

I didn't really take the news seriously. But the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

He was dismissive.

The subordinates beside him became alert.

With a serious look on his face, he reminded him again.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. General, don't forget the lesson of Xiahou Dun."

"Xiahou Dun?"

Cao Ren, who just had a look of disdain on his face.

Thinking of being ridiculed by everyone after returning to Xuchang, Xiahou Dun, who was so angry that he stayed indoors until now, shuddered subconsciously.

The whole person calmed down immediately.

He turned around and said no more.

He immediately ordered two or three scouts to go into the city first and start checking there.

A moment later, the scout came hurriedly with the report.

"Report!——

Report to the general, a large amount of kerosene was found in the city!"

"Not only kerosene, but we also found a lot of dry grass and branches in the city. In addition, the entire Xinye City is too quiet, there is not a single person in sight!"

"Report! General, some Xinye soldiers were found in the east of the city, holding torches, and have now been captured!"

The news came like snowflakes.

"grass!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Cao Ren, who had just shown disdain, felt his head buzzing after hearing this.

When you come back to your senses, it’s still straightforward.

He immediately turned the horse's head and galloped backwards.

The speed can be said to be the fastest in my life.

I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid of repeating the mistake of Xiahou Dun and being blocked in Xinye City and caught in a jar.

After speeding for two or three miles.

The heart that had been hanging in the air gradually settled back into my stomach.

He turned his horse around and looked at the Xinye City shrouded in darkness behind him, gritting his teeth.

When he opened his mouth, he started cursing with resentment and anger.

"Damn you, Zhuge Cunfu, your intentions are so sinister and vicious!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, the Prime Minister delivered the letter in time, otherwise I would be in real trouble now."

Although Cao Ren acted carelessly, he was somewhat ambitious.

But it’s not that he doesn’t know about military affairs. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have sent him as the vanguard to lead the army to the battle today.

It's also because of this.

The more I think about it this time, the more scared I feel.

Cold sweat ran down my back.

Then I thought about my evaluation of the strategist just now.

I also felt a little ashamed.

He turned around and spoke seriously, asking his subordinates again.

"Do you know which strategist gave the Prime Minister advice this time? He really saved me from a dangerous situation this time. I must thank him after I return."

His expression was sincere, but when the interrogator heard it, there was something a little weird on the picture.

It took him a long while to give an answer, uttering the words "Xu Chu".

"Who told you the news, Xu Chu?"

"When did that fool become smarter than me?"

Cao Ren was stunned.

After hearing this, his eyes widened and he really began to doubt his life.

"General, you must not underestimate General Xu again."

"I heard that the news that Wolong was about to use fire attack at Bowangpo was also told to the Prime Minister and Xiahou Dun by General Xu Chu in advance.

It is said that recognizing three people requires a new look. This General Xu seems to have really become smarter. "

The interrogator added.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Cao Ren.

"I know, I know, I want you to keep your mouth shut!"

He was afraid that his brothers would suffer, and he was also afraid that his brothers would drive a Land Rover. These words could be said to be the best portrayal of Cao Ren's current character.

He and Xu Chu were close friends.

Naturally, I am happy to see Xu Chu making progress, but this has only been a few days.

We agreed to be a reckless man and a smart man together.

Turning around, you are both wise and brave.

Who can bear this?

Moreover, before going on the expedition, when he talked with Xu Chu, he didn't feel that this guy showed any signs of getting smarter.

"Is this the legendary one thing conquers another? They say dragons fight tigers... Could it be that Tiger Chi is the natural nemesis of Crouching Dragon?!"
