In front of Cao Cao and all the civil and military officials, Fang Guang was thinking about Diao Chan, and his face actually showed a rather cute aunt smile.
When he was a minister of agriculture in the dynasty, he was the general who conquered the East and led the army to Datong. He was able to farm, was good at fighting, subdued the nobles, and recruited the Yellow Turbans.
Everyone around Cao Cao had seen Fang Guang's calm smile when he was planning his troops, and his heroic posture when he led the troops into battle, but this was the first time they saw this slightly shy demeanor.
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, Fang Guang had already discovered that his true nature had been revealed unintentionally, so he quickly calmed down and returned to his usual calmness.
"What Ming Gong is thinking coincides with my heart. Lu Bu is a fierce tiger in this world. How can we allow the evil beast to sleep soundly next to his bed?"
"The east is heavy and the south is light. Now is the time for the Eastern Expedition. However, I remember that brother Liu Bei has been defeated by Lu Bu several times. With this as the vanguard, are you not afraid that the three of them will make the same mistake again?"
Fang Guang did not hide anything. He looked at Liu Xuande, who was listening carefully with his big ears erect, and a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
Before he traveled through time, he thought how beautiful Emperor Zhaolie was, but now, he hates Liu Bei so much.
Along the way, Fang Guang, who had seen through Liu Bei, repeatedly learned from this man the lower limit of the Eastern Han Dynasty's power. The incident in the plains that year was not the biggest flaw in Fang Guang's heart now, and he hated him more!
Fang Guang questioned Big Er, and Cao Cao immediately hesitated.
Behind Ming Gong, Xun Yu and Chen Qun looked at each other and saw each other's intentions at the same time. Back then Xuzhou left, but today Sikong Cao Yuan stood up in a few steps.
"My lord, I shouldn't talk about important military matters lightly. It's just that I once served as an official under Xuzhou Xuande, and I know what happened back then."
"The reason why you were defeated in Xuzhou was not a crime of war, but Xuande's benevolence and his close confidant Lu Fengxian were the main reasons!"
"The people of Xuzhou are all thinking about the benefits of Xuande. As long as General Zuo is the vanguard, the people of Xuzhou will definitely be loyal to their lord. Before the battle, they have already won three points!"
"Yes, when Tao Qian handed over the official seal of Xuzhou to Xuande, he had such sincere expectations because he was impressed by Xuande's character. I think that when fighting in Xuzhou, we have to settle military accounts as well as political accounts!"
Chen Qun threw a lot of gold powder at Liu Bei's face.
Xun Yu even agreed, while Cao Cao was still hesitating. Liu Bei on the side winked at his second brother, which made Guan Yu, whose face was abnormally red and blushing, suddenly wake up from his longing for Diao Chan.
Like Fang Guang, Guan Er's first love fell in Xuzhou. As soon as he heard about the Eastern Expedition to Xuzhou, that graceful figure quickly spun in his mind.
Later Western psychologists believe that the more wishful first love is, the more it can stimulate the fighting spirit of the unrequited love person, and make the lovesick party have the illusion that the loved one will be impressed by his sincerity.
The second brother is quick with his sword, can finish off the kill, and is invincible in the world. It's just a matter of love, which has been the most difficult thing for heroes since ancient times.
Even if there was no sign from Big Brother's eyes today, Guan Er would still have to step forward.
"Cao Gong, I am willing to be a vanguard and destroy Xuzhou Lu Fengxian for Cao Gongping!"
"Lü Bu is a common man, Yan Liang is second only, and Wen Chou is third. Only by killing this man can the world know the power of me, Guan!"
"Just now, Duke Ming asked me what kind of reward I want for my great achievements. I don't want gold, silk, silk, or satin. I just want the official seal of the pioneer. Together with my eldest brother and my third brother, I will stand up from where I fell!"
Guan Yu's words were righteous and solemn. As he spoke, his beard swayed in the river breeze, and his heroic style increased by three points.
Cao Cao now loved this red-faced man so passionately that he wished he could lure Guan Yusheng away from Liu Bei.
Listening to Yunchang's upright words again, I felt so happy that I slapped my thigh heavily several times.
"Okay, your ambition is commendable! Yun Chang is so righteous and righteous, how can I take away your ambition!"
"That's it, let's take Xuande, Yun Chang, Yide, and you as the vanguard and lead the troops eastward. I will lead the army to follow!"
Liu Bei had long thought that Cao Cao would never refuse him if his second brother had made great achievements.
Big Er is so sinister, how can a mere vanguard fill Xuande's inner desire?
When he lowered his head and thought deeply, Xuande had already thought of his backup plan. In his life, benevolence and righteousness were the most important thing in his work!
In troubled times, soldiers, horses, food and grass are the foundation!
Liu Bei saw that Cao Cao was happy. He showed an extremely excited expression and looked in the direction of Xuzhou. He seemed to be willing to die in this battle.
"Mr. Cao, although my three brothers have few soldiers, they are not afraid of Lu Bu's violence. When we go to Xuzhou, we will definitely live up to His Majesty's high hopes and wipe out the three-surnamed family slave who stirred up chaos in the world!"
"Even if it means life or death, I am worthy of the late emperor and His Majesty's holy grace, and I am worthy of Sikong's appreciation at the bottom."
Liu Bei's tone was so tragic that Cao Cao frowned slightly, and then he realized that General Zuo was a mere commander with only two thousand men under his command.
This small number of soldiers were the vanguard of the expedition, and they were afraid that they would be wiped out without being able to see Lu Bu. No matter how brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were, the gap would be too big, and it would be in vain.
Cao Cao gently brushed his beard and pondered.
"Well, Xuande doesn't have many soldiers. If he is the vanguard alone, he will really be alone. I need to allocate some troops to General Zuo. Can you help me think about it, which army is most suitable to help Xuande in his eastern expedition?"
Cao Cao's original intention was that if Fang Guang Buqu could help Da'er, it would be the best. But if that didn't work, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, and Le Jin could form a partnership with Liu Bei for the time being, which would be a good idea.
He did not expect that everyone in Fang Guang's lineage would be as silent as Fang Guang.
Although Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Li Dian were with Xun Yu, they did not think highly of Xuande's Caotai team in their hearts. None of the generals took the initiative to ask for military service, and the scene instantly became awkward.
Just when the air was stagnant to the extreme, Chen Qun, a high-ranking scholar who Liu Bei had tried so hard to win over back then, got wise in his desperation and helped Da Er find a stepping stone.
"My lord, I am showing off my commanding officer's chariot and armor. I have followed His Majesty to the east. He is a capable and stable general. He has gathered nearly ten thousand new soldiers in Xuchang. It was originally to guard the south of Yuzhou! This time also
Following the arrival of the lord from the north!"
"Xuande is short of troops. General Che is the most generous man. If he can work with Xuande, he will definitely do his best. Isn't that right, Lieutenant Che?"
As Chen Qun spoke, he looked at the last general in Cao Cao's line. He was a middle-aged man with a cute face and the temperament of a future civil servant who clicked his thumb to get his salary.
It is said to be profound, but the words of praise are actually the word dawdle engraved on the face of the Eastern Han Dynasty civil servant.
Che Zhou was still thinking about what good things he would bring back to Xuchang during this expedition, so he was named by Chen Qun.
Seeing Cao Cao's fiery eyes sweeping towards him, Che Zhou's mind was confused and he only knew that now was not the time to be sticky.
"I am willing to serve the lord, uh, uh, for General Zuo, so that you can act with caution!"
"Being able to learn martial arts like General Guan and General Zhang has always been Che Zhou's greatest wish!"
