Chapter 641 Cao Mengde asks the three
The camp was in peace, Cao Ren returned to his tent, and Lu Su also returned to his tent of Jiangdong Army, but they didn't know that at the head of Linxiang City, Changsha's guard Huang Zhong saw it from the time their army came here until they returned to the camp. £∝Although Huang Zhong did not look too lightly, after all, they were not close together, and he was not young at this age and his eyes were not so good. But roughly, Huang Zhong could still distinguish between Cao Ren and Lu Su.
Seeing the two left, Huang Zhong murmured to himself at the top of the city, "I'm not afraid of you coming, I'm afraid you won't come! Hahaha, now, my knife is going to rust, hahaha!"
After saying that, he twisted his long beard with his hands, squinted his eyes, and looked at the camps of the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army from afar. For Huang Zhong, of course he would not go to rob the camp. After all, there was no time. Now he does not have the strength. But it does not mean that he does not care about the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army, so he naturally needs to take a good look. This cannot be seen in person after leaving the city, but it is indispensable on the top of the city. Although Huang Zhong is old, he is indeed very experienced, and he is conscientious and very serious.
-----------------------------------------------------
Putting aside how capable he is and how strong his martial arts are, he will be very serious. If you think he is old and easy to bully because of his age, then you are really wrong. In the Romance, Xiahou Yuan did not take Huang Zhong too seriously, but the final result is no need to say much.
Cao Ren and the others left. Huang Zhong then got off the city. He was waiting for tomorrow's war. He showed his skills. Huang Zhong didn't think he was so powerful, but he had to say that he was itchy when he saw opponents like Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army! Even at this age, his aggressive temperament still had not changed. How to say it, although Huang Zhong usually talks and does things, he was really happy to see the hunter when he saw the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army.
Just like Huo Jun is happy when he sees someone siege the city. Huang Zhong is naturally happy when he sees an opponent. After all, only in this way can it be revealed that although he is old, he can still help his lord and help him, and he is still of great use.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this age, what he hates the most is that others say he is old, but this is a fact, so Huang Zhong heard others talk about his age. Then he never said that he was young, but he would say that he could eat and drink now, even more so. Even on the battlefield, he could still kill enemies and make meritorious contributions, and he would definitely not be less than any of you. Instead, he would have more!
This is what he used to refute others, of course. Those who truly understand him, in the face of Huang Zhong, will not say that he is old. Even Ma Chao, he basically won’t say that he is either Han Sheng or General Huang, and he rarely has old names. Yes, Ma Chao also knows that Huang Zhong is old, but he is indeed stronger and stronger. I don’t know how to say that he is better than many young people, which is not wrong at all.
A day later, Cao Ren ordered Niu Jin to lead his troops to test Linxiang, who was guarding Huang Zhong. As for Guo Huai and Zhang Liao, of course, they just had a rest. Lu Su also meant that. How could he say that Linxiang must be more difficult than Luo County, but let Guo Huai and Zhang Liao take a rest first, and then talk about other things. Niu Jin is also good to go first.
-----------------------------------------------------
Huang Zhong saw the other party and sent a general to lead soldiers, which made him feel that he looked down on him. After all, Huang Zhong knew that in the end, the Yanzhou army and the Jiangdong army defeated Luo County, and Guo Huai and Zhang Liao led troops against Gan Ning. As a result, when he arrived at his place, there was only one left, which seemed to be inferior to the Niu Jin of Guo Huai and Zhang Liao.
Of course, Huang Zhong certainly had no intention of looking down on Niu Jin. This was definitely not. After all, he knew that the other party was still capable. But if he remembered correctly, Xiangnan and Yiyang were Niu Jin leading troops before, but in the end, it was Niu Jin who dealt with his unfilial son and Mi Fang. This was him. Is it said that he was the same level as his son and Mi Fang?
Huang Zhong is indeed not arrogant, but he still thinks that he is more than two people, and he still has this confidence, but now...
-----------------------------------------------------
However, Cao Ren and Lu Su still let Niu Jin go, which really made them feel that the other party looked down on him and treated him at the same level as his son and Mi Fang. Of course, Huang Zhong didn't think so much, because Cao Ren and Lu Su had no choice but to let Guo Huai and Zhang Liao go, otherwise, "Why do you need to kill a chicken?" But Lin Xiang, who was guarding Huang Zhong, did not have this idea, but this was the first time, he wouldn't have revealed his trump card at once.
Niu Jin led his troops to attack, Huang Zhong shouted at his soldiers, and then participated in the defense of the city. For him, this defense of the city was indeed a rare time. After all, there was nothing strange about his lord letting him be the commander. But people have to come here to defend the city, just like now, he is guarding Linxiang, but if the Yanzhou Army and Jiangdong Army don’t come, who will they find to fight?
So there is such an opportunity. If they don’t come, they can only wait here. I don’t know when my lord can still use him.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao had already returned to Xudu from Youzhou. At this time, he received a war report from the front line, which is now Jingzhou. This was obviously presented to him by Zhu Zan. Of course, there were also some things that the tentman reported to him, so after Cao Cao read Zhu Zan's writing, he heard the tentman talk about the current war in Jingzhou.
Cao Cao knew that Ma Chao had already entered Jiangling, while Cao Ren and Lu Su went to Changsha. This seemed to be what he expected, but it was still a little different from what he thought. In his opinion, he fought with the Liangzhou army twice and lost twice. This was not just a matter of face, but it really disappointed him.
In Cao Cao's opinion, his own side, plus the Jiangdong Army, and Liu Bei's side, together, is not an opponent of the Liangzhou Army. Does this mean that his side is really inferior to the Liangzhou Army? He had such an idea in his mind, but he would definitely not admit anything. Even if he thought in his mind, his side was not as powerful as the Liangzhou Army, but he would not say a word in his mouth.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Cao asked the provocate and Ran ordered: "Come. Come and invite Wen Ruo, Gongda, and three gentlemen Zhongde to come!"
"promise!"
Cao Cao had a lot of subordinates, so it was impossible to let everyone come, so he just wanted to let the three most important counselors come. He had to ask them about some things.
After a while, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu came together. They were each busy with their own affairs, but when they heard that their lords were looking for them, they rushed over. They knew that there was something important, otherwise their lords would not have been able to find him at this time.
"Please sit for three!"
"Thank you lord!" the three of them said in unison.
After the three of them sat down, Cao Cao handed over Zhu Zan's report to Xun Yu and asked them to circulate it at once. After all, they were better off reading it first and then talking about it themselves.
-----------------------------------------------------
The three of them passed the circumcision one by one, and Cheng Yu finally finished reading it. Then Cao Cao said to the three of them: "Our army and Jiangdong army were defeated twice in a row. After that, Ma Mengqi led his troops to Jiangling, and Zixiao went to Changsha..."
Cao Cao briefly told the three of them that there were written by Zhu Zan, and of course there were those he did not. After all, Zhu Zan also knew that the things he reported to his lord were too detailed, not good, and too little, which would definitely not be good, so of course he had to master such a degree. After all, the writing was too detailed, and there was also our own strife in Jingzhou. What else could they do? As for the less evil, it would be even worse. At that time, the lord might think that he was not good at doing things well.
So Zhu Zan's idea is actually quite right. Cao Cao is quite satisfied with him. Cao Cao thinks what he does is just right.
Afterwards, Cao Cao said, "I wonder what you think about the current situation?"
When the three of them thought for a moment when they heard their lord’s question, they heard Xun Yu say, “Master, how dare you ask your lord, do you know what your lord is thinking now?”
-----------------------------------------------------
Speaking of which, Xun Yu certainly knew his lord's temperament, but to be honest, he was indeed a person who dared to speak in Cao's camp. Xun Yu did dare to speak bluntly in front of Cao Cao, which was not that he dared to speak bluntly, but he felt that in many cases, he really needed to explain his words himself, otherwise no one would dare to tell the truth, which would be too boring and would delay the trouble.
When Cao Cao heard Xun Yu's words, based on his understanding of the person, it seemed that there was something in his words. Then he seemed to have thought of something, but Cao Cao still said: "Now that Liu Xuande is declining, although Jiangling is a strong city in the world, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. Even the Jingzhou army was there at the time, but it may not be the opponent of the Liangzhou army. I am worried that Jiangling will lose if it takes a long time to attack!"
When the three of them heard their lord's words, they nodded slightly. In fact, what their lord said, they had never thought so. But in the current situation, how to do it, should we continue to send reinforcements, or...
-----------------------------------------------------
Xun Yu nodded slightly, but he still asked: "So do you want to continue sending reinforcements? Or..."
When Cao Cao heard this, he said, "Wen Ruo means that in addition to continuing to send reinforcements, there are other ways to rescue Liu Xuande?"
Xun Yu smiled, "Do you lord don't want it? Maybe you want..."
When the few people heard this, they all understood. When Cao Cao heard this, he thought for a moment, and then he asked: "Wenruo, Gongda, and Zhongde, what should you think better?"
Obviously, Cao Cao temporarily handed over the decision to the three of them, at least at this moment, he had not thought about how to do it.
Xun Yu didn't say anything, but Xun You spoke, "Lord, please come and see what Wen Ruo said, you can try it out. Now our army's situation is so better!"
-----------------------------------------------------
After Cao Cao heard Xun You say that, he had no expression and didn't say much, but looked at Cheng Yu. At this time, Cheng Yu understood that his lord was asking him to speak, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, I will discuss it!"
Obviously, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu all agreed to do this. When Cao Cao saw that the three of them agreed, then this matter could only be like this. Didn’t he just say that he didn’t agree? Originally, wasn’t the original arrangement just for the future? Then at this time, it came earlier than what he thought, but as long as it could work, it would be better than anything else, right?
