Xu Du, the Wei Palace.

Cao Cao stood in the yard wearing a black cloak and looked up at the starry sky.

The deep night made Cao Cao feel very depressed.

A beautiful woman in a water-blue skirt stepped forward and held Cao Cao's shoulder and said softly:

"King, it's cold.

It's time to go back and rest."

This tender woman is Cao Cao's wife Bian, who gave birth to Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong and other descendants for Cao Cao.

Although she had given birth to four children, Mrs. Bian still has a slim figure and looks like a girl.

"I can't sleep alone."

Cao Cao gently grabbed Mrs. Bian's hand and sighed in confusion:

"Today, I was wandering around the street in plain clothes and met a warlock with a strange appearance.

This person calls himself Guan Lu, and is born to describe him as thin, wearing a worn-out cloth robes, looking like a beggar.

But he can accurately recognize my identity.”

After hearing Cao Cao say this, Mrs. Bian was also curious and asked:

"What did this warlock say to the king?"

Cao Cao recalled:

"At the end of Xingping, a yellow pig met a tiger.

To the south of the Ding Army, one was injured.

The warlock left these two words, and asked him what he meant but kept silent.

It's really weird."

Mrs. Bian comforted Cao Cao:

"The warlock likes to pretend to be a god and use it to cheat money.

Why bother to care, the king?”

Cao Cao shook his head and said:

"No, I gave Guan Lu a 50,000-month ticket today, and wanted him to solve my doubts.

But Guan Lu not only did not charge money tickets, but left the sentence "The eldest prince will know it when he is away."

Now that it is approaching, I want to see if Guan Lu said it is accurate.”

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Hanzhong!"

While Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian were walking in the garden, the guards in the royal palace came hurriedly, holding the battle report from Hanzhong in their hands.

Cao Cao frowned and suddenly felt a bad premonition.

If it weren't for the emergency military situation, the personal guards wouldn't have come to report overnight.

Could it be that Xiahou Yuan defeated the Chu army in Hanzhong?

Not likely.

The order he gave to Xiahou Yuan was to assist the Han general Xu Huang to defend Hanzhong. In this case, it would be difficult to defeat the Chu army.

Cao Cao said to his personal guard in a deep voice:

“Support it!”

The personal guard did not dare to neglect, so he hurried forward and respectfully presented the battle report.

Cao Cao hurriedly opened the battle report, and as the battle report was read, his face became increasingly ugly.

Seeing the end, Cao Cao put down his arm with a confused look on his face, and the battle report also slid down his fingertips.

Xiahou Yuan was beheaded by Huang Zhong, and the 50,000 troops were destroyed. Only Du Xi and Xiahou Shang fled from Hanzhong.

This series of news is undoubtedly a huge blow to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't help crying loudly:

"Miaocai, I'm sorry for you!"

Only then did Cao Cao understand what Guan Lu meant.

At the end of Xingping, the yellow pig meets the tiger, which refers to the second year of Xingping and the year of Yihai Pig.

If Guan Ru said, the second year of Xingping should be the last year of Xingping, and the emperor will change the reign next year, so it is the end of Xingping.

In the south of Ding Army, the injury refers to Xiahou Yuan.

Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao's brother, and he had a deep affection with Cao Cao, which was exactly what he said.

Cao Cao was out of control and covered his head and shouted:

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Mrs. Bian was shocked when she heard this and hurriedly said to her personal guard:

"Go and find the doctor, the king's head is offended again!"

Cao Cao defeated the general Xiahou Yuan, and the remaining defeated generals also withdrew from Hanzhong. The first cooperation with Liu Bei ended hastily.

Only Xu Huang and Wei Qi were left in Hanzhong to deal with the Chu army with the strong city.

Yuan Shu, who was far away in Shouchun, also received news that Huang Zhong had killed Xiahou Yuan and defeated the Wei army.

"This old Huang Zhong is OK. It's indeed Xiahou Yuan's nemesis!"

In Yuan Shu's previous life, Xiahou Yuan died in the Year of the Pig in Yihai.

This life is still the year of the Pig in Yihai and died under Huang Zhong's knife.

Some things have long been destined, and Xiahou Yuan can be regarded as a fixed number and cannot escape.

Yuan Shu turned around and asked Ma Zhong who was waiting by his side:

"Yang Xiu has been quite honest in recent days, right?"

Ma Zhong replied flatteringly:

"Recently, the ministers restricted his travel according to the king's request.

Yang Xiu rests in the basement of Yihong Building every day. Except for his poor mental state, everything else is fine."

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction:

“Yeah, not bad.

In this way, you can ask him to see me tomorrow.

It’s time for Gu to talk to him.”

"As for the order."

As night fell, Yang Xiu lay on a hard bed in the basement of Yihong Building, looking at the roof with his eyes dull.

At this time, there were fierce shouts of killing coming from the building. It should be Cao Xing's desperate battle with the girls, but Yang Xiu turned a deaf ear to him.

At first he found these noises particularly difficult.

But after seeing the dark, damp and hard to swallow food in the basement, the noise is nothing.

Since he arrived in Shouchun, Yang Xiu has not had a good sleep.

He didn't ask for anything else now, but just hoped that Yuan Shu could summon him as soon as possible and let him return to Shouchun quickly.

The King of Han sent a war report that the Wei army supporting Hanzhong had been completely defeated by the Chu army, and even the general Xiahou Yuan who was commanding the army was beheaded by Chu general Huang Zhong.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shu should have taken the opportunity to negotiate terms with him.

However, Yuan Shu did not summon him and still hung Yang Xiu in Yihong Building.

This made Yang Xiu a little desperate.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the shouts of killing on the tower ended, and the soldiers on both sides stopped and waited for another fight tomorrow.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Today's torture was finally over.

"Squeak."

The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and Yang Xiu quickly sat up. The two generals who came in were Ma Zhong and Cao Xing.

These two dogs made Yang Xiu feel so angry that his teeth were itchy.

During the period when Yang Xiu was envoy to Shouchun, these two despicable villains tortured him in a different way.

The good messenger of the Han Dynasty has been tortured to neurasthenia.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiu really can't afford to offend them now, so he could only ask with kind words:

"What happened to the two generals coming late at night?"
