Seeing the tragedy in Cao Cao's camp, He Yan realized why Xun Yu, a socialite in Xuchang, looked like his parents were dead every day.
At the same time, he also understood why a hero like Cao Cao actually showed confusion during the Battle of Guandu, and even wrote to Xun Yu in the rear to seek comfort...
What's more, this is just oppression in terms of war.
In this small military camp, how many officials have secretly contacted Yuan Shao privately, and how many soldiers have become timid and unwilling to fight again.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Cao Jun camp is almost like a gunpowder keg that is about to be ignited and may blow up everyone's bones at any time!
"Uncle Ren..."
Entering the military camp, He Yan felt a little depressed.
"Do you think I can go back now?"
Cao Ren narrowed his eyes: "What do you think?"
Seeing He Yan like this, Cao Ren felt abnormally relieved.
This is right!
Everyone is suffering on the front lines and feeling uneasy every day. How come you are still in the mood to have fun at the rear?
Unlike He Yan, Zhao Yun's aura has become sharper since he came to this military camp.
Ever since he killed Han Xun, Zhao Yun seemed to have become a different person.
If He Yan described it, it was like an innocent boy who was dragged into humiliation and training by the bad sister next door for three days and three nights. Since then, he has directly transformed into a man.
Calm, deep, and giving people a sense of security!
If this had happened, Zhao Yun would have married a widow with three wives during the time he followed He Yan!
The three of them, wearing armor, came to the innermost camp of the camp together.
Different from Cao Ren's temporary camp in Jiluo Mountain before, the outside of Cao Cao's headquarters camp here was made of rammed earth. Even inside, a smaller core camp was surrounded in the central area.
Rather than saying this is a camp, it is more like a simple castle-like city.
And it's the kind where there's a palace wall in the city.
In the middle of this "palace wall" is naturally Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Ren was in the front, He Yan was in the middle, and Zhao Yun was following behind. The three of them walked into the camp and paid their respects to Cao Cao: "I've seen Sikong!"
He Yan looked up and found that Cao Cao was indeed much thinner than when he saw him a few months ago.
Except that the area around his forehead was darker, even the light in his eyes was dimmed, and he was obviously extremely haggard.
During these days of confrontation with Yuan Shao in Guandu, Boss Cao obviously expended too much effort.
However, when he saw the three people, Cao Cao stood up suddenly and walked straight towards the three people.
Seeing Cao Cao like this, Cao Ren suddenly felt warm in his heart - "Sikong still values my clan brother"!
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao ignored Cao Ren and walked past him, causing Cao Ren to become petrified.
He Yan behind him saw Cao Cao skipping Cao Ren and walking toward him, and he smiled knowingly: "Dad still only knows how to feel sorry for me."
But He Yan and Cao Ren were treated the same, they were both directly ignored by Cao Cao...
It wasn't until he came to Zhao Yun that Cao Cao grabbed Zhao Yun's hand and said happily: "This is Zhao Yun who killed Han Xun! He is really a talented person!!!"
Cao Ren, He Yan:......
Zhao Yun was a little confused after his hand was grabbed, and it was obvious that he couldn't bear Cao Cao's excessive enthusiasm.
"Sikong, the grass-roots people are Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong."
Zhao Yun tried hard to pull his hand out to stop Cao Cao from taking advantage of him.
But strangely enough, Cao Cao's strength was actually greater than Zhao Yun's at this moment. His hands were like iron pliers grabbing Zhao Yun's palm, and the crazy flame in his eyes was about to melt Zhao Yun...
"Zilong! Don't worry, you are not Bai Shen!"
Cao Cao took another step forward, almost pulling Zhao Yun into his arms: "Killing Han Xun is a great achievement! I have already gone to the emperor to confer you the title of Zhonglang General of the Guard!"
Let alone Zhao Yun, even He Yan and Cao Ren's eyes are about to bulge out!
General Zhonglang?
Is it the lieutenant general who is second only to the general?
You know, even if Cao Cao served as Sikong, few of his generals could reach the rank of Zhonglang General.
After all, Zhang Xiu, who was a former prince, Cheng Yu, who was in charge of Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun, who guarded Henan, Cao Hong, who fortified Nanyang, Zhu Ling, who defected from Yuan Shao, and Xu who was the "riding captain" in Yang Feng.
Huang, Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, and Guan Yu, who had just been promoted to General Pi, had higher military ranks than Zhao Yun!
Others, even Ren Jun, who had great achievements and hard work, Li Dian, who took thousands of troops to join Cao Cao, and Shi Huan, who was in charge of the central army, were only the same as Zhao Yun.
The rest are even more pitiful, such as Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xu Chu, etc., they are all small captains...
Zhao Yun bit his lip, he felt that he was about to be captured by Cao Cao!
He wanted to refuse.
He wanted to tell Cao Cao that he was going back to Liu Bei!
but……
From a white body to a heavy general, the weight of this made Zhao Yun a little confused.
With almost no time for Zhao Yun to react, Cao Cao pulled Zhao Yun to the center and raised a glass of wine: "I have ordered people to prepare a celebration banquet for Zilong, but before that, I still have to treat Zilong to a drink first.
!”
Zhao Yun was still a little dizzy at this time, so he took the wine glass and drank the wine that Cao Cao had prepared for him.
Seeing Zhao Yun having a good time, Cao Cao's laughter became even more hearty. It was at this time that he had time to take care of He Yan and Cao Ren——
"Zixiao, you did a good job this time! Thank you for your hard work these days."
Cao Ren laughed after being praised by Cao Cao.
Then Cao Cao looked at He Yan again...
…
Well, just took a look...
Then Cao Cao quickly turned his attention to Zhao Yun and continued his dog-licking behavior.
"Hehehe!"
He Yan smiled awkwardly and impolitely, and was already thinking about running away.
It wasn't until Zhao Yun was licked wet by Boss Cao that Boss Cao decided to let Zhao Yun go: "Zi Long is tired after a long boat trip and a fierce battle. He must be exhausted, so why not go down and rest first. Zi Xiao, go and take Zi Long with you.
Let him get acquainted with it!"
The subsequent arrangements made Zhao Yuncheng even more frightened. Not only were there bath beans that were rare in the military camp for him to bathe in, but there were even two women dedicated to serving him in his exclusive camp. This made Cao Ren itchy with sore teeth.
After sending Zhao Yun away, the smile on Boss Cao's face slowly faded.
"Xu Chu, guard outside the door and don't let anyone in."
"Here!"
Xu Chu led Cao Cao's soldiers out. At this moment, there were only Cao Cao and He Yan in the huge camp.
Just when He Yan was searching for his limited knowledge and planning to recite a poem, Cao Cao's generous palm was already placed on He Yan's shoulder——
