Chapter 259 A Little Person (Please ask for a monthly pass)
The fire is out...

I don't know if God couldn't stand the smell of scorched people, so it rained at dawn.

It was already noon when Cao Cao's men arrived at Aocang.

At this time, Ao Cang was still emitting green smoke, and the ground was in a mess, with corpses that were burnt to black charcoal everywhere.

Walking among the ruins with all the generals, Cao Cao would trip over the corpses under his feet from time to time, and several times, he almost sat on the ground.

His cheeks twitched slightly, and he murmured softly: "So cruel..."

Along with Cao Cao, Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai, Tao Qian, Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou and several other princes also set off together.

Kong Rong said softly: "Sun Wentai, I'm afraid it's over this time!"

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, everyone has also seen the clue.But even though everyone knew it, when Kong Rong said it, he couldn't help but shudder.If you calculate it, if you add the Northern Route Army, how long will it take, and the princes of the three routes will be lost.In addition, there are princes along the way who have lost the ability to continue fighting.

The Hanoi Army and Sanyang Army are all fine.

But Baima Yicong, the Changsha army is one of the most powerful soldiers and horses among the 22 princes.

Not long ago, I had a drink with these princes.But in the blink of an eye, people and ghosts have different paths, how can people not feel desolate in their hearts?
Today, the morale of the Central Route Army is not very high.

All the way from Huaishui, encountered countless ambushes.Although it did not cause too many casualties, it was a great blow to the morale of the army.

Fortunately, a heavy rain forced the coalition forces to stop halfway.

It was also this heavy rain that forced the subsequent ambushes along the way to be withdrawn.Cao Cao once saw those ambushes, and they were really vicious.

Don't forget that Dong Bi was a forest ranger in his previous life.

Setting traps and playing tricks in the mountains and forests were his forte.Just telling a few of the traps he knows is enough to make people hard to guard against.When Dong Yu told Jia Xu how to make these traps, Jia Xu couldn't help but gasped.

Fortunately, this heavy rain!

Kong Rong's words had a considerable impact on the already depressed princes.

Cao Cao gave Kong Rong a hard look: This nerd, why doesn't he talk about the occasion?Even if you know that Sun Jian is finished, you can't say it in this situation.That's good, but before reaching Xingyang, the fighting spirit of the princes has already declined.

Others can be depressed, but Cao Cao's mood cannot be depressed.

Trying to calm down, Cao Cao said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Wentai is brave, and he is a tiger in the east of the river. Although he was defeated, his life must not be in danger. Now, we should think about how to avenge Wentai. The princes are so low, if they are known by Wentai, they will be ridiculed. The current plan is to march quickly and capture Xingyang as soon as possible."

To be a vassal of one side, his ambition is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people.

Although he lost his mind for a moment just now, after Cao Cao finished speaking, he immediately stabilized and returned to normal.

Cao Cao led the princes away, but Xi Zhicai and Yi Ji stayed in the ruins.

It has to be said that Cao Cao is very concerned about Xi Zhicai.Although he left with the princes, he left a guard Hu Che'er to protect the two.The vicinity of Ao Cang is full of Cao Cao's men and horses, so naturally it will not be dangerous.But this affection moved the two of them.

Xi Zhicai squatted down, grabbed a handful of burnt ash from the ruins, rubbed it twice with his fingers, and suddenly smiled.

Yi Ji said, "What do you see?"

"What a clever chain plan..."

Xi Zhicai stood up and said to Yiji: "Uncle Ji, take a closer look at the ashes, is there any difference?"

Yi Ji frowned, and after looking at it for a while, "I can't see anything."

"This is not the same kind of ashes. If you look carefully, there are grains of wheat ears that have not been burned, but others..."

Xi Zhicai stood up and looked at the sky.

Then he said: "It's going to be cold. If the hundreds of thousands of troops can't make progress before the heavy snow, they will face a shortage of food and grass. Yecheng has a lot of food, but it passes through Hanoi, and the journey is long. When it snows again, when the time comes." The road is difficult...Although Yanjin has food and grass, it still has to rely on recruiting from other places to supply an army of 10,000+, which may be difficult."

Yi Ji suddenly realized, "You mean, Thief Dong intentionally created an illusion, making us think that Luoyang is short of food and grass?"

"That's right. Anyone who wants to take advantage of it will not give up easily. The princes think that Luoyang is short of food, so they will storm the pass. At that time, they will be trapped in various places. Once there is a problem with the supply of food, dozens of Wan Dajun... I have a vague premonition that Thief Dong may have another trick, and we may really have lost our calculations this time."

"Then ask my lord to retreat?"

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly and said: "At this time, how do we retreat? Not to mention whether the princes are willing or not, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to ride a tiger. This battle in Xingyang must be fought. And if we want to play the lord's momentum, we have no other way out. .”

These gloomy words made Yiji smell a strong smell of blood.

That's right, if this battle continues, I don't know how many people will die...

At noon, the distressed Sun Ce and Cheng Pu came to Daying, crying about what happened last night, and asked Cao Cao to look for Sun Jian and others.

Cao Cao liked Sun Ce very much.This young man looks so handsome, he is worthy of being Sun Jian's son.

At the moment, he comforted me with kind words: "Don't worry. Although Wentai and I have known each other for a long time, we have already had a good relationship. I have already ordered people to search around. Presumably Wentai's auspicious people and celestial beings will surely turn bad luck into good fortune. Don't be too sad, just be patient. Just wait."

While talking, someone came in to report.

"Several heads hang on the top of Xingyang City... Among them are the heads of Brother Sun Taishou, and the weapons of General Zu Mao and others."

Sun Ce fainted when he heard it.

Cheng Pu quickly hugged him, pinched him, and stroked his chest, finally allowing Sun Ce to relax.

"I swear against Dong thief!"

After speaking, Sun Ce burst into tears.

Seeing this situation, Cao Cao and others couldn't help feeling sad.

Haosheng comforted him a bit, Cao Cao originally wanted Sun Ce to serve under his command, but Sun Ce shook his head and refused.

There was a layer of gloom on his handsome face.

"My nephew is in a trance, it is really inappropriate to stay here. I plan to go home and report to my mother. If the general can get back my father's body, please send it to Wu County."

"Then General Cheng..."

Cheng Pu said solemnly: "Wentai and I met in Weimozhong, so I should take good care of his family. I will accompany you to Wu County...Darong and Gongfu's family members also need to be appeased. Please also ask Mr. Cao to give me some help." People and horses, protect yourself along the way."

This request is not too much, Cao Cao will naturally not refuse.

He gave Sun Ce five hundred soldiers and horses, and reluctantly sent the two of them out of the gate.

"Nephew, don't worry, Cao will do everything he can to get your father's body. If your nephew is in danger in the future, you might as well come to me."

A grateful light flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he bowed his hands, "Uncle's great kindness, my nephew will remember it in my heart."

Set off with Cheng Pu and drift away.

Cao Cao suddenly said to Xu Chu who was following him, "Zhongkang, this son will become a great weapon in the future."

Maybe……

But at least for now, Sun Ce is just a little-known little man.

******
Dong Pi sat upright in the Yamen of Xingyang Mansion, holding a carved feather arrow in his hand, watching carefully.

On the shaft of the arrow, there are two characters engraved: Hao Zhao.

This is an arrow found on Sun Jing's body. Obviously, this Sun Jing died under this sharp arrow.

Hao Zhao seems to be a very unfamiliar name, but at the same time it feels a little familiar.Should it have appeared in the romance?

If so, it should also be a decent character.

Habitually stretched out his hand, buried it in the long hair of the snow ghost beside him, stroked it gently, and felt the snow ghost's body temperature at the same time.

This is also a problem that Dong Bi has developed over the past six months. He always likes to have two snow ghosts by his side.

That snow ghost let out a low whimper very comfortably, but it was very scary to hear it in his ears.

Raising his head, Dong Bi looked at Wang Rong.

"This Hao Zhao..."

"My lord, I have found it, and I am waiting for orders outside the door."

"Let him in!"

Dong Bi gave an order.After a while, Wang Rong led a young man into the hall.

The boy didn't look very old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old.He is about seven feet tall, with a wasp waist and ape arms, describing Guo Yi.

Although he is not very old, his cheeks are sharp and angular, and he has a strong spirit.

Walking in, the young man looked a little afraid of Dong Pi, took a deep breath, and knelt down: "Hao Zhao kowtowed to Zhihou."

"Your name is Hao Zhao?"

"Exactly!"

"Where are you from?"

"The villain is from Jiuyuan, Bingzhou..."

Dong Pi was startled, and thought to himself, "I am righteous in Huangzhong, how can there be people from Bingzhou?"
"Jiuyuan, isn't that the hometown of Marquis Wen?" Dong Pi laughed and said, "Sure enough, there are heroes in Jiuyuan. First there was Marquis Wen, and now there are little heroes."

Hao Zhao's face turned red immediately.

"How dare the villain compare to Marquis Wen? The villain originally served in the Bingzhou Army, and I am very happy to be honored to follow Marquis Wen."

"Bingzhou Army? Then you..."

"Zhihou, have you forgotten? A few days ago, Wenhou sent a villain to report... Afterwards, whenever there is a big battle, he will stay under Zhehou's command."

"Oh……"

Dong Bi clapped his hands, "I remembered."

There is such a thing.At that time, Dong Bi just regarded this matter as a kind joke of Lu Bu, how could he pay attention to a small school delivering letters.

After pondering for a moment, "Hao Zhao, I plan to keep you by my side, are you willing?"

Hao Zhao didn't react all of a sudden, looked up at Dong Bi, a little dazed...

"You shot Sun Jing and made a great contribution. If you want, you can stay and serve in my troll... Don't worry, I will send someone to tell Marquis Wen. But I want to tell you, to be an excellent A troll warrior needs to endure a lot of hardships. I am a troll warrior, and I am an enemy of a hundred people, a thousand people, you have to think about it, can you bear this hardship?"

Hao Zhao's eyes were shining brightly, "The villain is willing to..."

Who wouldn't want to?
The entire Liangzhou Army saw the majesty of the troll warrior.

Not to mention Dong Bi's personal entourage, just the equipment makes people envious.Someone who can calculate has figured out a rough idea.

It seems that a troll warrior can be equipped with four or five light cavalry for the cost of fully equipped equipment.

And in yesterday's battle, except for one person, none of the hundred giant magicians who fought outside Ao Cang was injured or injured, which is really amazing.

Even the injured one had a problem with the horse.

Hao Zhao, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy from Bingzhou, is at the age of worshiping heroes.In the Bingzhou Army, he worshiped Lu Bu.

Today, he still admires Lu Bu, but Dong Bi even more.

Lu Bu is strong, but very proud.If you haven't reached a certain level, he won't even look at you.In contrast, Dong Bi, although he looks fierce, is very easy-going. After a long time of contact with people, he will have an urge to get close.

"The villain will swear to die."

Dong Bi nodded slightly, and after pondering for a while, said: "Well, you will be my personal follower first, and I will send you to a place when the war is over. At that time, someone will train you... You only have to go through their training. Only by training can you be qualified to be a troll warrior."

The reason for such an arrangement is because Dong Bi felt that such a clever boy would not be enough to become a tool without polishing.

He can't train people.

But in Zhangye, there was Lu Zhi and Chen Dao.

These two people must be able to carve out Hao Zhao's beautiful jade.

Thinking about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to Zhangye... Dong Bi couldn’t help thinking: When this matter is over, I really want to go there and have a look...

Just thinking about something on his mind, Wu Anguo came in from outside the door.

"My lord, there is a messenger from Cao Cao outside the city, come and write a letter!"

Dong Yu suddenly raised his head, signaling Hao Zhao to stand up.Then he got up too, "Cao Cao, is this a challenge to me?"

------

There are only two updates today, let’s sort out our thoughts.

By the way, let's ask for the support of the monthly ticket...
