"Mengde...is...is this good?"

"Okay, Miaocai, don't you know what kind of person Meng De is? But at the two ends of the head and mouse over there, it is a thief to grow old and not die!"

"I also know that it's not very authentic to do this, but for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, I can only make such a bad policy. Hey..."

"Don't worry, Mengde, Miaocai and I will let that old bastard know what he should do."

"Where's Miaocai?"

"Don't worry, Mengde. Although it's not very good to do this, I won't just sit and watch our soldiers being consumed needlessly like this. That guy should pay a little price."

"Okay! I entrust everything to you, I entrust the lives of me, Xiao, Lian and many other soldiers to you!"

Looking at the back of the Xiahou brothers leaving, Cao Cao's eyes flashed a stern look, showing the anger of the owner of the eyes.

Of course, this anger was not aimed at Xia Houyuan, who was a little offended by his words just now. After all, he was a follower who had followed him since he was a child. Cao Cao knew Xia Houyuan quite well, and he also knew that although this guy who was close to him acted somewhat He is hot and hot, but compared with his naturally dumb cousin Xiahou Dun, he just likes to use his brain more on weekdays.

The target of Cao Cao's resentment was none other than Tao Qian, the coach of Tao Qian's army who was still doing nothing on the battlefield.Although Cao Cao swears that he has absolutely no idea to make it into Qiang boiled meat by removing the skin and bones, but that is just because Cao Cao thinks that the meat that cannot be aged on Tao Qian is absolutely not tasty, after all, the old scalper The soup made from the meat still had some fragrance, but the meat—anyway, it was definitely a nightmare for the young Cao Cao, and his teeth would cramp every time he thought about it.

Well, leaving aside the old beef hell that makes people stomach ache, Cao Cao turned his attention back to the battlefield. ( ·~ )

"The situation is still not optimistic..."

Although he has read a lot of military books and has many unique insights of his own, Cao Cao also knows what is easy to do but difficult to do. The original text is just a few words, and he will not know the complexity of it until he really accepts it—whether it is When he led the army to crusade against the Yellow Turban or when he formed the West Garden Army, he was completely blind at the beginning like now.

"But I won't admit defeat. This is the stage I, Cao Mengde, have been looking forward to for a long time."

Yes, he, Cao Cao, will not admit defeat. Whether it is martial arts or martial arts, he has overcome every difficulty.

"If so, what will Li Xue do here?"

Cao Cao murmured to himself, and his thoughts could not help but a little bit distracted.

Although Li Shushi knows his own level, in the eyes of outsiders, he can now be regarded as a famous general, although no one has whipped him, thinking that such a guy who often misses the target with shooting arrows and is not very good at riding is really a guy Not even the ordinary soldiers of the Han frontier army, let alone any famous generals, "famous sauce" is more suitable.However, because of his many military achievements, the subsequent criticisms are more of the gentry's contempt for the warriors and the methods used to suppress Li Shushi, a humble brother.

Naturally, Cao Cao wouldn't wear any dirty glasses to Li Shushi. In terms of background, Li Shushi's family background can be regarded as clean, and it might be better than Cao Cao, who is an eunuch and ugly.Of course, from an economic point of view, Cao Cao is much better than Li Shushi, so when he wants to start a career, he will get more support, so he doesn't have to be so fussy like Li Shushi at the beginning.

Moreover, Cao Cao also had many contacts with Li Shushi when he was in Luoyang, and he knew Li Shushi's level to some extent-maybe Li Shushi was a complete idiot in the classics and history collections, but in terms of knowledge, he was nurtured in the era of information explosion and in Li Shushi, who has lived and fought for such a long time in this era, also has considerable experience and standards. 【*】

After all, staying by the side of ordinary geniuses can also enlighten you a little bit, although the intellectual potential is still four times that of 9.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Cao Cao, who is not good at charging, brought Li Shushi into this battle, but it cannot be said that it has no reference value at all.

However, Cao Cao soon felt dejected, because he suddenly thought that Li Shushi had powerful generals like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu under his command, and a guy like Cao Ren who was already strong enough in Cao Cao's eyes could not be ranked against Li Shushi. top five.

What is envy, jealousy and hatred? Cao Cao now feels like tears are streaming down his face.

Until this time, Cao Cao realized for the first time the importance of talents-whether it is quality or quantity, whether it is civil servants or generals.In terms of talents, Cao Cao knows that he is still far behind, especially compared with Li Shushi, who is a "real charge".

Of course, the problem of talents is a long-term consideration, but the immediate problem still needs to be solved by Cao Cao.

Helpless, Cao Cao could only pin his hopes on Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, the pair of reckless brothers who always brought him surprises, and Cao Ren, who was not the number one in the Cao army but was recognized as the number one general in the Cao army.

Of course, Cao Cao felt extremely uncomfortable feeling so powerless and only pinning his hopes on others.

It's just that there is someone who feels more uncomfortable than him now, and this person is the ruler of Xuzhou-Tao Qian.

"What did you say just now, tell me again!"

Although Master Tao Qian had a hot temper when he was young, after the disaster of the party and the experience of being in charge of Xuzhou, he now looks more like an ordinary and kind elder most of the time. If you put on the old man's scepter and put on ordinary clothes, people who meet you for the first time may think that this is a prestigious elder from some village.

But it is such an old man who looks very kind on the surface, but now his hair and beard stand up like an angry wolf, and the messenger in front of him is full of fear, he is very afraid that he will appear in the next moment No surprises, after all, he still has a wife who has been married for no more than three years and a baby who is not yet one year old and is waiting to be fed in his home in Donghai County.

"Reporting to Lord Inspector, the soldiers under the banner of Cao Jun Xiahou just raided our rear army and beheaded 37 soldiers, five Dubos, three hundred generals, and one commander. In addition, the army Marquis Lvhe was also suspected of being Xiahou Dun. Kill."

Although he was full of worry and fear in his heart, the words of the order did not fluctuate too much, because as a subordinate who had followed Tao Qian for a long time, he knew very well what kind of performance would win Tao Qian's favor, rather than making it obvious now. Tao Qian, who was already furious, chose to kill to vent his anger.

"This damned eunuch, ugly, dares to attack our Xuzhou troops. Isn't he afraid that we will fight back and help Dong Zhuo destroy them, a group of rabble who think they are great. Hmph, if it wasn't for your lord, you are too cautious, those How is it possible for a child to run on your head and run around, Yuan Benchu ​​and Yuan Gonglu really think they are some kind of person! Pooh!"

The speaker was Cao Hong, Tao Qian's favorite minister. Although he had the same surname as Cao Cao, this civil servant from the famous and powerful Donghai Cao family in Xuzhou seemed to be quite contemptuous of the Pei Guo Cao family who gained power because of eunuchs. Also very rude.

It's just that Cao Hong's words didn't seem to have the effect he expected. Instead, it calmed down Tao Qian who was getting angry.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the actions of Xiahou brothers who were Cao Cao's subordinates, even if the ups and downs of these years hadn't made him more self-cultivated and less impulsive, now he has ordered people to lead troops to strangle the opponent, anyway he is in The pressure of the frontal battlefield is almost non-existent. Even if there is a real civil strife, Li Jue will only focus more on Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others instead of wasting it on him, unless he thinks that through his own Can defeat the entire coalition right wing.

But just because of the growth of experience and knowledge, Tao Qian is no longer the passionate young man he used to be. Cao Hong's words obviously reminded him-why Cao Cao dared to send Xiahou brothers to attack his back, and put the main target on himself Among the low-level officers of the army, only 37 soldiers were killed in battle, but ten middle- and low-level officers died. You must know that among some new troops, Dubo, who can command 50 people, already has the qualification to obtain tiger charms alone, while a hundred generals The above must have the Tiger Talisman.

Of course, Tao Qian didn't know that the two brothers Xiahou and Xiahou Dun were the main contributors to the consequences, especially Xiahou Dun. Ruthless - after thinking about it, he took the lead in launching a surprise attack regardless of the soldiers behind him.It's just that Xiahou Dun has no interest in soldiers, and coupled with his status as a general, naturally more low-level officers of Tao Qian's army died under him and Xiahouyuan who protected him from being attacked.

But it was this "accident" that made Tao Qian hesitate.

Tao Qian, as an old guy who has stepped into the ranks of politicians, has completely inherited the characteristics of old people's politics - calm, old-fashioned, knows how to choose to endure when necessary and at the same time deliver a fatal blow at critical moments, but at the same time he is very suspicious, because They are always used to think about everything clearly, and calculate every detail of what will happen in the future to ensure that their goals can be finally realized—even if they encounter a lot of seemingly "unexpected" troubles in the process.

Because of this, Cao Cao's slightly reckless move made Tao Qian wonder if there were other meanings behind it.

such as……

Tao Qian turned his attention to a few restless general-looking people not far away from him, and frowned tightly.
