Outside Yongqiu City, in Cao Jun's tent, Cao Mengde was stroking his beard and laughing wildly. He glanced at it and saw that all his subordinates and military officers looked puzzled. They raised their heads and stood up, patting the white paper in their hands with a look of color on their faces.
"My father, Cao Song, shot the Hu chieftain from the south in Dong'a!"
"Datong has defeated Zang Hong in Hebei Province. Yuan Jun left behind his armor and soldiers to return north. The Fang County Keeper only said in his letter that there is no danger in the north. Now that spring plowing is underway, everything goes well!"
Cao Cao was wise and sensual, and his nature often led to madness. Only then could he have famous poems handed down from generation to generation, and only then could he dance and sing on the river!
The people in the tent were all close to the boss. They looked at the lord's eyes, and the light flashed and erratic. They knew that Cao Cao was extremely happy, and they couldn't help but join in the fun.
Guo Jia just started to sweat and was the first to stand up.
"My lord, Datong is both civil and military, and the ability of Guigu's lineage is nothing. Song Gong is getting stronger and stronger, which is a surprise!"
"Your Majesty is in the hands of traitors now. Otherwise, Chief Hu will be killed by the rebels. He will be granted the title of Marquis. The position of Feiting Marquis will be guaranteed based on Dong'a's merits!"
The effectiveness of beautiful words will be reduced if they are too late. Xiahou Dun, who was stroking the bamboo paper in his hand and looking slowly and unscrupulously, saw the crack in Guo Jia's words and spoke first.
"That's natural. My lord is so wise, and I am not from the Songgong academic lineage. I, Xiahou Dun, a fellow villager of the lord in Qiao County, have some minor achievements, and I am also a descendant of my lord's bloodline."
"The fight between the governors in my court was different from the defense against Beihu and Xirong. The Qiang commander Duan Jiong killed back then was not as powerful as Huchuquan. How do you think the old lady should be honored by Duan Jiong?
superior!"
"That's right, look at General Xia Houen, but he injured Lu Fengxian and the lord's bloodline revived. Is it a joke?"
There were many civil and military people talking in the tent, and Cao Cao's smile had an innocent temperament.
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, suddenly a discordant sound came from everyone's ears.
"Cao Gong is so powerful. When he was in Mount Tai, there was no help from Fang Guang. Tao Qian could not help but think about it. Datong is just the icing on the cake!"
Yu Jin said a word, and the tent suddenly became quiet.
The so-called fun is to follow the master's thoughts and tease the master's heart.
How is Grandpa Cao doing? Who in the tent doesn’t know? You want to step on Fang Guang in Yu Jin, but have you really made Cao Song into a warrior who can defeat ten thousand people?
Back then, the old lady almost peed her pants. This was not the right thing to mention!
Bragging has lost its style. If these words spread, won't it put the lord on the hot coals?
Everyone looked at Yu Jin, even Xun Yu's uncle and nephew looked at him with reproach.
Yu Jin knew he had made a mistake, so he blushed and retreated behind everyone. Xun Yu coughed twice, acted like the chief counselor of Cao's camp, and stood up slowly.
"My lord, it is naturally a great good thing that the old lady has promoted Weidong County. However, Wen Ruo has two doubts in his mind. Please ask your lord to clarify them!"
"Oh? Wen Ruodan can speak out!"
"One of the doubts is that Taigong was nearly seventy years old after all, and he was a man of crossbows. Could it be that the arrow that killed Chief Hu was deliberately arranged by Datong? Datong was too smart, so he probably guessed it.
, the Lord will be angry with him for his provocation."
"It's normal to invite favors with words!"
"Secondly, Yuan Shao's temperament values the dignity of wealthy family members. Fang Guang said with confidence that Yuan Benchu would not come south. Dongjun is the lord's base!"
"Fang Datong, are his words reliable?"
The literati plotted against each other, and every word was vicious, let alone a top scribe like Xun Yu. When he spoke a few words, Xun You also shouted and cheered for his uncle at the top of his lungs.
Except for Guo Jia, the faces of everyone who had just joined in the fun could not help but show doubts on their faces.
Just when Cao Cao was pondering and thinking carefully about Xun Yu's words, the thin body of the captain of Dongjun who delivered the letter was shaken. He looked at Yingchuan's top scribes, and a hint of ridicule from a country boy passed through the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, Duke Cao is using his crossbow to kill people. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in Dongjun City, and the people at the top of the city who are helping to defend the city can all see clearly. How could the county guard be above this matter and deceive the lord!"
"I won't hide this from my lord, my little monkey is right next to Grandpa and can see it clearly!"
"When the people from Hebei crossed the river, everyone bowed their heads without any resentment. Even if Yuan Shao wants to deal with us again, the morale of the Northern army is not good. What's more, the Yellow River is frozen, and there are many Jinfan thieves, so we are not afraid for a moment!
"
How could an ordinary captain dare to speak in front of Cao Cao?
But the messenger chosen by Fang Guang, the little monkey, was born in the Yellow Turban. When he was seven years old, he had seen the Jingguan in Songzhu, Huangpu, and he was as bold as a fight.
Cao Cao tilted his head, glanced over, and when he saw that the thin Dongjun captain had moved his feet, he looked up to the sky and laughed again.
"That's right. Jizhou's soldiers have lost their courage. Yuan Shao is about to come south. How can it be so easy to mobilize Yecheng's troops and horses!"
"Every general must have his own soldiers. Are you not a member of a noble family?"
"My lord, my name is Xiao Hou'er. I was under the command of General Di Gong back then. Even though I am young, in Hebei, I saw my lord's heroic appearance in battle!"
"Just like Duke Cao in Dong'a City!"
Lieutenant Dong'a actually slipped through the trap of Boss Cao's plan to destroy the Yellow Turbans, and he even revealed it himself, which made Cao Cao stunned.
"Haha, I didn't expect you and I to have such a bond. Come on, get some wine. Just because of my heroic spirit, I let this yellow scarf boy drink it!"
Boss Cao was out of temper. Someone had already brought wine to him, and the little monkey raised his neck and drank it.
"My lord, the county guard said that if my lord is happy today, let me show this letter to my lord again!"
"If the lord is not happy and leaves the tent, I am afraid that this letter will be burned, so I should take it as nothing!"
"Looking at the monkey now, my lord must be happy."
"Well, what kind of letter? Datong has other tricks to show you his expression?"
"Since ancient times, I have been sending letters. Where can I find something like this? I am very happy. Bring me the letter!"
Cao Cao was so curious about what the captain in front of him said. He took the letter in front of him and glanced at it a few times. The joy on his face slowly faded away. It was unclear whether he was happy or unhappy.
Cao Mengde had no intention of discussing this letter with the civil and military officials in the tent. After reading it, his face turned pale and he stuffed the letter into the sleeve of his robe.
"Okay, I understand what Datong means. You tell him that Zhang Chao is safe!"
"I will spare this man's life. Remember to promise that this summer's food will be 30% more than last year's. Otherwise, it will be a crime of deceiving the lord!"
"Go and tell Datong that our army will be in Yuzhou in July and ask him to deliver food in person. I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him very much!"
"Also, if Taigong is tired in Dongjun, he can go back to Juancheng and let Ang'er be by Fang Guang's side. My son is used to the style of the aristocratic family, so it's time for him to be edified by Guigu's skills!"
"Rivers can flow into the sea, and rainwater from glaciers can also flow into the sea. The world's roads are so complicated. Speaking of which, it was Datong that made me understand this truth!"
