"Lord Sikong, I would like to propose another toast to you!"

Compared to Zhang Liao who was sitting on pins and needles downstairs, Cao Cao was in the midst of a happy spring breeze.

He was extremely tolerant of his subordinate's invitation to drink, and drank a whole glass of wine without hesitation.

The gurgling drops of wine splashed on the beard and made it shine, and I didn't even bother to reach out to wipe it.

It can be seen that Cao Cao was in a very good mood after defeating Xiapi.

"Lord Sikong, now the entire land of Xuzhou is in the hands of our army. May I ask if you have any candidates for the governorship in your mind?"

A civil servant asked boldly under the influence of alcohol.

Liu Bei, who was also at the table, immediately stood up when he heard this.

With the important position of Xuzhou Governor, it would be false to say that he is not greedy.

The conflict between him and Lu Bu originated from this.

After Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei took charge of Xuzhou Shepherd in Xiapi.

Later, Lu Bu also appointed himself the governor of Xuzhou.

And while Yuan Shu was attacking Xuzhou, he led troops from Xiaopei to capture Xiapi and forcibly brought Xiapi under his control.

The relationship between him and Lu Bu deteriorated at that time.

Now that he helped Cao Cao capture Xiapi, Liu Bei also wanted to get back what originally belonged to him.

We even hope to go further from this.

Cao Cao's face was red at this time and he was already a little drunk.

Just as he was about to speak, Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, secretly pulled off his sleeves.

Cao Cao still respected Guo Jia, a great talent, so he quietly gave him a questioning look.

Guo Jia covered half of his face with his feather fan and spoke vaguely to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao listened carefully and nodded slightly in approval.

After thinking about it for a while, he explained to everyone:

"This matter is of great importance. We will wait until you return to Xuchang to be knighted before we can discuss it later..."

Liu Bei waited for a long time with his ears pricked up.

But just waiting for this excuse, a little disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.

I was about to complain privately to my second brother who was sitting next to me.

A young general ran up the stairs, looking panicked.

I saw the other party quickly ran to Cao Cao and knelt down on one knee, "Sir Sikong, I have to repay you for your humble position!"

Cao Cao was disturbed from his drinking spree, and his expression suddenly turned sulky.

But considering that the other party dared to come and report at this time, something big must have happened in the city.

He lowered his head and asked, "What's going on? Report me quickly!"

The young general immediately replied quickly: "It seems that some thieves broke into the stables and drove all the horses into the city..."

"Then just drive the horse back!" Cao Cao interrupted without hesitation.

He thought something terrible had happened in the city. It turned out that it was just Ma Fang who escaped.

He just captured Pi City not long ago.

There are still some rats hiding in the city who want to cause trouble, which is normal.

What’s more, where will the chaos get?

At this time, tens of thousands of Cao's soldiers were stationed in Xiapi City.

A few thieves' petty quarrel will not cause any splash at all.

A mouthful of saliva from one person can drown those little ones.

The young general was sweating on his forehead, glanced at Cao Cao guiltily, and quickly explained:

"It seems that the thief secretly administered some kind of evil medicine, which caused the foals to go crazy and not obey orders."

"Evil medicine? Going crazy? What do those grooms do for food!"

As soon as Cao Cao heard that the horse might be injured, Cao Cao's attitude changed.

War horses are a more valuable strategic resource than ordinary soldiers.

At this time, there should be one or two thousand horses in Xiapi City, including the horses used to carry things.

If something happens to all these troops and horses, the loss will be greater than if the entire Xiapi City was captured before!

Cao Cao felt extremely worried when he thought of this possibility.

The whole person was so angry that his whole beard stood up, and he stood up suddenly and slapped the table.

"Call the servant here immediately!"

"Follow the order!" After the young general received the order loudly, he quickly turned around and ran downstairs.

I don’t dare to stay in front of the furious Lord Sikong for a moment longer.

Seeing Cao Cao, who was originally so proud, his face suddenly became full of anger.

Liu Bei was snickering in his heart as if he was watching a good show.

Unexpectedly, the second brother Guan Yu next to him suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother, aren't you worried about your Lu?"

Yes.

My Lou is still in the stable!

Liu Bei's mood suddenly lost its beauty, and he forced himself to calm down and said:

"Lu has always been smart, no less intelligent than anyone else. He is unlikely to be taken advantage of by thieves."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei, who was almost kicked by Lu, responded with a shot: "Brother, are you really not worried at all?"

"No worries, no worries at all. I believe in Lu."

Liu Bei twitched the corners of his mouth and forced an ugly smile on his face.

But the more I talked, the less confident I became.

If Lord Sikong hadn't still stayed at the table, he would have really wanted to go downstairs and see his beloved horse.

Cao Cao was dissatisfied by his subordinates and felt very irritable.

But when I saw that all the civil and military generals at the table had stopped using their chopsticks, they looked quite worried.

I felt that I shouldn't lose my grace, so I waved my hand and said:

"What are you guys doing in a daze? Hurry up and pick up the food!"

"Don't panic, it's just a trivial matter. You've even captured Fengxiao, why are you worried about a few thieves in Ququ?"

"Despicable people who only dare to steal chickens and dogs may not be able to turn the world upside down!"

Since Lord Sikong said this, all the civil and military officials had to agree.

So they looked at each other in tacit understanding, and in an instant they toasted again with smiles on their faces.

In order to take Sir Sikong’s face into consideration, everyone acted as if they were real at this moment.

The quiet banquet became lively again.

After a while, the servant in charge of the horses hurried upstairs.

The whole person looked very embarrassed, not like the usual pampered rich man.

Not only were the luxurious clothes covered in thick dust, but half of his face was also covered in dust.

Cao Cao was drinking at this time, and when he saw the other party arriving, he glared sideways.

Taking a sip of the wine from the glass, he asked slowly: "Why is Mrs. Chen in such a hurry?"

"Ah?" Chen Yuan, who looked uneasy, subconsciously got stuck in his throat when Cao Cao made a knowing sarcastic comment.

Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with the other party's reaction and asked sternly: "As a servant, do you know that there is chaos in the city?"

Chen Yuan came to his senses and explained quickly:

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Xiaoguan naturally knows it and has sent people to rectify it. Xiaguan was busy in the city before."

"We have also contacted the soldiers patrolling the city for assistance. I think it should be solved soon. Sir Sikong, please don't worry."

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

The gloom on Cao Cao's face faded a bit, and he pointed to the gray mark on the other person's face with feigned concern.

"Chen Taipu, where did the mark on your face come from?"

At a glance, the mark looked like a big slap on the face.

Only then did Cao Cao notice that the servant's swollen mouth was even missing a few teeth.

It looks too miserable.

Did you hit your face against the city wall?

Chen Yuan looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Cao Cao became interested and ordered: "Don't hide it, tell it in detail quickly!"

This servant Chen did not manage well and made trouble for him when he was happy.

This is the right time for this guy to make a fool of himself in front of everyone and give him a good beating.

Chen Yuan looked troubled and feared Cao Cao.

He could only say hesitantly: "This, this matter... is related to Master Sikong and Liu Shijun's beloved horse..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Bei opposite him guiltily.

My beloved horse?

Could it be that your face, Chen Yuan, was kicked by a horse? Were you kicked in the same place by two horses?

Cao Cao's curiosity became more intense, and he urged: "Go on!"

Chen Yuan continued: "I was afraid of hurting you and Liu Shijun's beloved horse, so I took the initiative to try to dissuade you..."

"Wait a minute, you didn't say why you want to dissuade me! Could it be that two horses are fighting?"

Cao Cao, who was quick-thinking, soon discovered that the other party had deliberately skipped a description and immediately interrupted.

At this time, everyone became interested and listened carefully with pointed ears while eating the food.

Chen Yuan's face became paler, and cold sweat began to break out on his back.

"It's not a fight, it's..."

Chen Yuan suddenly started to stutter and was stuck on "yes".

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned and had a stern look on his face.

He hates it most when others hide from him. What's more, he hates it in public.

Look at that posture, if Chen Yuan doesn't explain clearly today, there is no way he can go out straight.

Chen Yuan was so frightened that his heart was trembling. The consequences of angering Master Sikong in public can be imagined.

He gritted his teeth, secretly thinking that now he had no choice but to risk his life.

Then he mustered up the courage to speak:

"Because Lu, who is your mount, has ridden your beloved horse, Lord Sikong! That's why I wanted to stop you."

These shocking words were like a bolt from the blue, shaking everyone present to the core!

The moment Liu Bei heard it,

He sprayed out the food he just took into his mouth!

Zhang Fei, who was getting up to invite a drink, had red and green vegetable leaves hanging on his head and his face was confused.

Subconsciously licking the soup flowing to the corner of his mouth, he murmured:

"Brother, why are you doing this? Why don't you pour more wine and give it to your younger brother?"

Guan Yu, who was sitting upright next to him, had a face that was already red enough, but now it was as red as a ripe persimmon.

Guo Jia covered her mouth and coughed repeatedly, as if she accidentally choked on the food.

Bang!

The cup filled with fine wine in Cao Cao's hand fell directly to the ground and rolled several times.

The whole person was shaking like chaff, and his face was full of disbelief.

He kicked the servant Chen in front of him, pointed at him angrily and shouted:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"My horse is a male, and Liu Bei's horse is also a male."

"You tell me!"
