Chapter 830: Duke Cao is not calm
Chapter 830: Mr. Cao is not calm (Fourth update)
Cao Cao's upper and lower jaws exerted force, almost crushing his teeth. A trace of blood even spilled out of the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were hideous and terrifying.
"It's all Xu Shu's tricks, please don't be angry." Xu Chu next to him was extremely calm. Seeing Cao Cao's appearance like this, he couldn't help but persuade him.
In fact, Xu Chu is not calm, but he is naturally indifferent and doesn't care about everything. In this way, he can still fight against the enemy through the army.
This is just a basic quality for becoming a peerless general.
In theory, Cao Cao was a commanding army to fight against heroes and the people who could govern the country should not be like this. Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shiming, also commented that although Cao Cao was not talented enough, he would have a little more.
He is an extremely calm person.
But Cao Cao could not keep calm. This is actually related to Cao Cao's mood. After so many years, Cao Cao has been moving towards the goal of pacifying the world.
Until he was defeated in Beijingzhou, he felt hatred. While working hard, he was interrupted by Kou Feng, a young boy. Moreover, Kou Feng had reached an equal position with him in just a few years.
And now he is one step ahead. This is the reason why he hit Cao Cao the most.
The achievements that have been wasted for decades have been surpassed by a young man. How decadent it is.
"Return to the camp." Cao Cao did not listen to Xu Chu's words. Instead, after a long time, Cao Cao forced his anger to suppress the anger in his heart. Finally, he raised his head and looked at Wancheng, as if he wanted to engrave the figure standing on the top of the city, floating in white clothes in his heart. Then, he said coldly to Xu Chu and rode away.
"Oh." Xu Chu has been with Cao Cao for many years. When he saw Cao Cao's expression, he knew that Cao Cao's anger not only did not disappear, but instead became more and more intense.
"Let's go." Shamoko looked at the small army ahead and suddenly withdrew, and couldn't help but grin.
"Haha." Xu Shu laughed, Cao Cao should have withdrawn his troops too.
However, at this time, Wei Yan next to him suddenly said, "General, there is a saying that too much is too much. Will Cao Cao be angry and fight to the death with us?"
Xu Shu paused slightly on his face, and then he looked at Wei Yan in surprise. This general has always been very brave and good at fighting. Kou Feng also wrote to him personally, saying that Wei Yan had more than a little general, but he could be a general idea.
Therefore, Xu Shu has always valued Xu Shu. However, Wei Yan has never had any amazing performance. He is brave and good at fighting. It's just these.
But now, it is really rare to remind him.
Xu Shu did everything to get Cao Cao back to the north. But now, if Cao Cao was angry and embarrassed, it would be too much.
If Cao Cao sent a large-scale invasion of the tiger and leopard cavalry and burned and killed Nanyang County, it would be a real sin.
Xu Shu couldn't help but frowned, turned to Li Yan and said, "Transferred Lieutenant General Zhao Yun, led his troops to Anzhong, and guarded against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Wei."
"No." Li Yan also realized the seriousness of the matter and said.
"I hope Cao Cao won't be too angry and angry." Xu Shu thought to himself. But unfortunately, it was exactly the opposite of what Xu Shu thought. This time Cao Cao was really angry and angry.
On the way back with Xu Chu, the anger accumulated in Cao Cao's heart was already very strong.
At this time, some important generals of the Cao army, including Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, Zhang Yan and others, as well as the planners of the Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition, Jia Xu, gathered at the gate of the camp to welcome Cao Cao.
They also received news that they had just come out after cheering and thunderous cheers at the top of Wancheng. They also heard that Cao Cao had left the military camp and were waiting here.
When Cao Cao returned, they had just arrived not long ago.
"Your Majesty." Seeing Cao Cao come back angrily, everyone's faces were more or less confused. But they still paid homage to the Lord first.
"Return to the Central Army Commander's Account to discuss." Cao Cao didn't even nod, and immediately rushed over from the middle of the civil and military officials.
"What happened?" Everyone looked at each other, but they were confused. However, standing here, they really couldn't hear what happened at the head of Wancheng.
I'm afraid the only thing I know is Xu Chu and others. However, Cao Cao summoned so urgently that everyone dared not neglect. They all rode on the war horses and rushed into the camp.
Although the camp was huge and stretched for more than ten miles, the group rode their horses and was very fast. Soon, everyone arrived near the central army's tent, but Cao Cao still didn't see it at all. After dismounting the horse, he walked into the tent with a calm face.
Everyone also had to hide their doubts in their hearts and then go in.
After everyone entered, they sat down separately. Only then did they have the opportunity to look up at Cao Cao. They didn't know if they didn't look at him, but they were shocked when they saw him. What a gloomy face.
What happened to Cao Cao so angry?
"Shu area, Hanzhong has probably been violated by Kou Feng." Facing everyone's eyes, Cao Cao didn't say much, but just said simply.
"What? Is this impossible?"
"Shu is high and dangerous, and Liu Zhang has many troops, and even Wei Dao helps him. How could it be so fast?"
"Your Majesty, where did you hear this news?"
The big tent suddenly felt like it was in a panic, and some generals said one after another. Some people even doubted the authenticity of Cao Cao's hearing the news.
"Okay." Cao Cao had a gloomy face and scolded. Suddenly, the generals settled down like sheep. Cao Cao glanced for a while before saying, "This news is probably true. There is no need to worry about the news you heard from. Gu wants to attack Wancheng now, what are you going to do?"
Although Cao Cao said this, the generals in the tent were still very confused. Finally, Xiahou Yuan, who was most close to Cao Cao, spoke: "Your Majesty, let's consider this and determine whether Kou Feng has really entered Sichuan first."
Xiahou Yuan also believed that Kou Feng's entry into Shu was fake, and it must be a false news. How could he be so easily compromised? If he was so easily compromised, then why did Zhang Lu not compromised for more than ten years? And Kou Feng broke through it in an instant?
Anyway, there must be a fraud, and Cao Cao must have fallen into the trap. This is definitely not Xiahou Yuan’s idea alone, but almost everyone in the big tent idea.
It can be seen from the many generals who expressed doubts before.
Cao Cao was angry when he heard this. Could it be that he could not even judge this situation? It was 80% true. When Cao Cao saw Xu Shu put in this battle to humiliate him and asked him to withdraw his troops, Cao Cao knew that it was 80% true.
Just as Cao Cao was unhappy and was about to scold Xiahou Yuan, there was a guard outside the door reporting: "Your Majesty, there is news coming from Lord Zhong in Chang'an."
"Come in." Cao Cao was shocked in the West, thinking that Ma Teng and Han Sui were making trouble again, and he couldn't help but feel the anger in his heart and said.
"No." The guard replied, and then another person who looked like a minor official walked in. The minor official was about thirties, with a frosty face on his face, and a package was also helped on his chest.
After the minor official entered the big tent, he paid a little attention to the big tent. He found that the generals were very united and was a little surprised. Then he saw Cao Cao's face was gloomy, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
He couldn't help but tremble, carefully unbuttoned the package on his chest, and gently handed it to Cao Cao and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhong's handwriting?"
"Yes." Cao Cao opened his face calmly and let out a huh. The little official couldn't help but be even more scared. Fortunately, Cao Cao just took the package, then waved his hand and sent him: "Go down."
The little official felt the pressure relaxed all over and nodded quickly, saying goodbye to leave.
This little official traveled between Chang'an and Cao Cao all year round, but was scared like this. It is conceivable how terrible Cao Cao's expression is now.
After the minor official left, Cao Cao opened the package, which contained a roll of bamboo slips. Cao Cao took out the bamboo slips and untied the rope. When he opened it, he saw that it was the details of Zhong Yao's news that Kou Feng occupied Hanzhong and Shuzhong, and that he provided some military assistance to Ma Teng.
"Hmph." Cao Cao snorted coldly, threw the bamboo slips to Xiahou Yuan, and said, "Look at it for yourself."
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he felt a little shocked and he immediately realized that he was broken. He was not complaining about Cao Cao's attitude towards him, he and Cao Cao almost grew up together. They had a good relationship.
Instead, he was worried that Hanzhong and Kou Feng would be put down. Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan immediately reached out to pick up the bamboo slips and looked down. His face turned pale and he shouted, "How is this possible? How could it be so fast."
He looked incredible and unbelievable. Xiahou Yuan is a man who is very good at fighting and has a very fast marching speed, and is often beyond the expectations of the enemy.
He was known as General Zhixing. However, he still did not believe that Kou Feng could conquer Shuzhong within a few months. It is conceivable how quickly Hanzhong was when Kou Feng pacified Shuzhong.
"What?" Suddenly, the big tent was in an uproar again.
"Miaocai." Even Zhang He could no longer remain calm and said to Xiahou Yuan. He planned to watch the bamboo slips.
"General Xiahou." Many generals also said.
But Xiahou Yuan reacted after pausing. He slowly handed the bamboo slip to Zhang He next to him, with disbelief still remaining on his face.
It's really fast.
Xiahou Yuan was a general who did not understand the general trend of the world, but he could also see that Cao Cao was one step behind in the incident of Kou Feng's rapid pacification of Shuzhong and Hanzhong.
I am temporarily at a disadvantage. Although I may not win when playing chess, it may be a disadvantage after all. This is something that cannot be changed.
Unless Cao Cao quickly pacified Ma Teng and Han Sui and separatist Yongzhou and Liangzhou under the current circumstances, he could turn this disadvantage around.
otherwise.
Because Kou Feng pacified Hanzhong, the news of Shuzhong was destined to be an uneasy day for the generals of the Cao army.
