Zhang Miao was also a hero when he was young and wanted to go hunting tigers in person, but now Cao Cao and Bao Xin don’t know the life and death of him. He was the leader of the princes of the Sour Jujube, but it was difficult to leave. He had to stay and take charge, so he could do everything possible.

Zhang Miao was very regretful about this, but he was the prefect of Chenliu and was in charge of the Lanzao County. The people also asked him for his orders. He could not go, but he still had to do his best. He remembered that Zhao Chong, a Sima of his army, mentioned a few days ago that a strong man appeared under his command, so he decided to send Zhao Chong to hunt tigers.

As for the other princes, Zhang Chao, Yuan Yi, and Kong Qiong were all powerless. When they heard that the tiger was changed, they did not dare to go there in person. They only sent a powerful general. Only Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, was a heroic person, volunteered to ask for his order because he had never seen a tiger in his life.

Qiao Mao was the prefect of Dongjun and was in charge of princes. Since he went there, he was naturally the leader of the tiger hunting. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou who had a gap with Qiao Mao, refused to go and even the generals were not sent.

Under the bright sun, in the camp of the Sozao County, a fierce and burly man carrying two green dragon halberds. As soon as he finished the training, his subordinates came over and said, "Hao Dian Jun, have you ever heard of the tigers in the southwest of the county?"

The burly man nodded, and his subordinate said again: "The Marquis of Dian Jun is extremely powerful, who can compete with the Marquis of the army? We have heard that the Marquis of Dian Jun once drove the tiger through the ravine. How could the Marquis of Dian Junquis be missing this time to hunt tigers?"

A shiny light flashed in the eyes of the burly man, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Er, hunting tigers is not just a path. Now Wei Sima goes to fight against the thieves. The victory or defeat is unpredictable. We are in the army, and we are guarding against the attack of the thieves. Killing the thieves to fight against the thieves is the right way."

Li Er was stunned when he heard this and said a little embarrassedly: "What Dian Junhou said is that the superiors have not moved for a long time. We applied to the army from Chenliu and said that we were fighting against thieves, but we have been holding it in here for almost half a year. It is hard to achieve success and it takes time to do it. It is really exciting!"

The burly man couldn't help but frowned, put two green dragon halberds aside, and looked at the west side with a loss of consciousness.

At this moment, a general wearing armor and long beard under his jaw walked over quickly, but it was Zhao Chong, a military Sima.

When the soldiers saw this, they hurriedly saluted respectfully: "Sima Zhao!"

Zhao Chong waved his hand, and saw the burly man also got up and clasped his fists, and couldn't help but smile: "Marquis Dian Jun, the envoy has ordered me to hunt tigers with the prefect of Suiqiao. You are the strongest in the army, so follow me."

The burly man called Dian Junhou was stunned, then hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Get orders!"

Zhao Chong patted the shoulders of the burly man: "This time, the tiger hunters have all the princes participating in it. If we stole the tiger hunting skills, we will definitely appreciate it for the envoys! We cannot miss the opportunity."

The burly man said: "Since it is a military order, I will do my best!"

Zhao Chong couldn't help laughing, "So you set out immediately, and you will rush back before dusk today."

Under the setting sun at dusk, in a dilapidated house in the western part of Zhongmu County, Cao Cao and Cao Hong brothers rest here. Dozens of soldiers gathered around them on the way, but all the soldiers were so hungry that they were dizzy.

In the end, Cao Hong cruelly killed his horse and filled his hunger for Cao Cao and his soldiers.

Cao Cao sat on a pile of firewood, staring at the ruins outside the door in a daze, planning his next step in his mind, and he was never willing to fail.

After this battle, he completely saw through the essence of the Kanto princes' attack on Dong Zhuo, and they all planned to establish themselves for their own interests. After Cao Cao woke up from his dream, he also decided to plan for his future.

In the chaotic times, only military power is the foundation. After all, he is not from a noble family and is temporarily unable to become a prince. He must rely on others. Yuan Benchu ​​is undoubtedly the best candidate to rely on. Putting aside the reputation of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Benchu ​​also has a good relationship with him.

Just as he thought about it, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel the scene when Zhang Liao released himself. He was grateful for Zhang Liao's release, but he was puzzled.

Cao Cao was best at observing people. On that day, he keenly realized that Zhang Liao's expression was very special at that time and was very shocked, but then he seemed to be completely unwilling to care about this reputation. So why was he shocked?

Cao Cao recalled the situation at that time, and suddenly his tiger body shook. He remembered it! When he mentioned that he killed the emperor and seized the concubine, Zhang Liao changed his qualities, and when he mentioned the emperor's concubine in the sour jujube, Zhang Liao was shocked! It seems that the key to the problem lies in the sour jujube.

Then Cao Cao remembered the rumors of Guandong again that Zhang Liao killed the emperor and married a concubine, which seemed to be one thing, but actually two things. What if Zhang Liao did not kill the emperor, but married a concubine? This matter seemed absurd, but Dong Zhuo attached so much importance to Zhang Liao, in order to win him over, this matter was not impossible.

So what would Zhang Liao do? Cao Cao remembered the reminder when Zhang Liao left, and asked himself to hide for two days without leaving a horse for himself. This was clearly a delaying strategy!

Zhang Liao is most likely going to attack the sour jujube!

This seems even more absurd, but Cao Cao recalled Zhang Liao's expression at that time and was extremely confident about this idea!

He couldn't help but change his face and hurriedly stood up and said, "Zi Lian, hurry up and return to the sour jujube quickly, otherwise the big thing will be over!"

Cao Hong, who was closing his eyes for a while, was startled and said quickly: "Brother, why?"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "I believe that Zhang Wenyuan will definitely attack the sour jujube. We must rush back and inform Meng Zhuo!"

Cao Hong said dissatisfiedly: "Tell them what they did, but they hesitated, which made us wiped out the entire army. We simply let them suffer a loss to be alert."

"We are working together to fight against the thief, and we must put the overall situation first." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Cao Hong said helplessly: "We have been delayed for four or five days on the road. It's too late now. I'm still a hundred miles away from Zujue. The only war horse was also Zhang Wenyuan to attack Zujue. They are all cavalry, so it's too late for us to go there. Besides, Zujue still has a 70,000 army, so Zhang Wenyuan and the others may not dare to attack."

When Cao Cao heard this, he was a little stunned. He sat down on the firewood, sighed and ordered: "Send two people to send me a message, and then send them to inquire about the news around him at any time."

Zizao County is named after its many thorny jujube trees. It is located on the south bank of the Yellow River. Because the Yellow River broke into the northwest of the county, it led to more than ten miles of sand dunes in the northwest, and an old forest in the southwest.

The roar of a tiger came from this old forest. It was almost dusk. Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, brought twenty-eight people with bows and arrows. He had been chasing the old forest for nearly two hours, including the army Sima Zhao Chong and the Dian Junhou.

The one who led the way for them was a nearby hunter who was quite good at tracking. He led them to discover many traces of tigers along the way, but they could not find them all the way.

At this time, we arrived at a small valley in the old forest, about seven or eight meters wide, three or four meters high, and dense forests on both sides.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Mao was a little impatient and ordered: "Look for another half an hour. If there is no tiger's trace yet, go back to the camp first and come tomorrow."

The big man with a halberd looked at the surrounding terrain, his eyes flashed with a look of vigilance, and he whispered to Zhao Chong beside him: "Sima Zhao, the situation here is a bit abnormal. It's too quiet. I'm afraid the tiger is near you."

Zhao Chong was shocked when he heard this and was about to remind everyone, the hunter who led the way suddenly shouted: "Be careful! The tiger is here!"

Almost at the same time, a roar! A tiger roar trembled at the forest. Everyone looked up in horror. They saw a tiger as big as a calf standing on the small cliff on the right, roaring with its bloody mouth, and pounced down at any time. The colorful black and yellow tiger face was intimidating.

"Tiger!" Everyone shouted almost at the same time, all of them nervously.

Even Qiao Mao, who was looking forward to seeing the tiger, had his throat dry, swallowed his saliva and clenched his waist.
