Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

"Ji Yu, this is not the last time you went to Xudu to borrow troops in person, but I really don't have anyone under my command to lend them to you. Dian Wei and the others are back now, so I brought Dian Wei and Ziwen over as soon as possible. Zhou, help Ji Yu solve your problems."

Seeing Cao Cao talking to him with a smile, Liu Zhang could no longer feel the same feeling as before, only a strong sense of wariness.

"I didn't expect Brother Meng De to still miss his brother, but now the situation in Yizhou has eased, and the rebellion in Yongchang County will be broken up soon."

Liu Zhang also made a conscious decision and stopped talking to Cao Cao about everything, let alone having a heart-to-heart relationship with Cao Cao. Originally, he thought that forming an alliance with Liu Bei was seeking the skin of a tiger, but now it seems that Cao Cao is the one who eats people without spitting out their bones. .

The two exchanged pleasantries, but Cao Cao kept glancing at Zhang Ren. Although he didn't know much about Liu Zhang's generals, he also knew that the strongest general under his command was the general who wielded a red tassel spear. Since Liu Zhang said that Yongchang County There is a solution to the rebellion, it must be that he has a famous general under his command, otherwise there will be no way to deal with the famous general Meng Huo.

So since someone has been promoted to a famous general, it must be the strongest general under Liu Zhang who has been promoted.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly stopped chatting with Liu Zhang and turned to look at Zhang Ren. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were dim and showed no emotion.

"This should be Zhang Ren, who is known as the Spear King of Xichuan, and Zhang Gongyi, whom Ji Yu often mentions. I have long admired his name."

Cao Cao said, raised his hands and clasped his fists, and paid homage with the salute of a military general. The current Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty took the initiative to pay homage to a general with the salute of a military general, and he was not a general under his own command. There was no barrier between the words, but he spoke in the same way. Said in a very familiar tone, this situation makes people unable to help but imagine.

As a dignified prime minister, if he had no other ideas, how could he treat someone else's military commander with such a courteous and virtuous attitude?

"Reporting back to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is flattering me. I only know a little about marksmanship. The title of Xichuan Spear King is just false praise from others. I will never dare to admit it."

Zhang Ren clasped his fists at Cao Cao and bowed at the same time. His words could be said to have rejected Cao Cao's kindness, but Cao Cao continued to talk to himself as if he didn't understand what Zhang Ren said.

"Xichuan Spear King, you have a good name and domineering attitude. People say that there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. Your name as Xichuan Spear King must be because of your superb marksmanship, so you have such a title. "

As soon as Cao Cao said these words, everyone present except Liu Zhang looked at Cao Cao with some doubts. After all, they had never heard such a sentence before. Only Liu Zhang understood in his heart that Cao Cao was just saying something casually. Okay, Cao Cao also reacted at this time, but he didn't say much. At this time, it would be difficult to explain if he said too much, so he simply pretended that he had not said this and continued to speak.

"By the way, in Liangzhou, there is another Northland Spear King named Zhang Xiu. Both of you are surnamed Zhang. Moreover, a Northland Spear King and a Xichuan Spear King both use the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear Technique. Could it be that What’s the relationship between you two?”

Facing the topic raised by Cao Cao that he wanted to get close to him, Zhang Ren would not accept it, nor would he accept it. If he accepted it, he would probably become suspicious of himself as his current lord. He was not a pure and virtuous person. Seniors, although they are usually very nice to them, once they become suspicious, everything will be the same.

But he couldn't accept it. After all, Cao Cao was also the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty today. If he ignored Cao Cao's words and refused to accept it, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally. After careful consideration, Zhang Rencai slowly spoke under the gaze of everyone.

"Returning to the Prime Minister, Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North, is the senior brother of the last general. Although he and the last general are both named Zhang, there is no relationship between us. When I joined the master to learn martial arts, the senior brother was already After completing his studies, he has already won the title of Spear King of the North, so the general and his senior brother have never met, they just have an insubstantial friendship. "

Zhang Ren's words were watertight. Not only had he never met Zhang Xiu, but the friendship between them was only verbal, and there was no real friendship.

However, Cao Cao did not give up and spoke again, but Cao Cao also told himself from the bottom of his heart that this was the last time and nothing could be done more than three times.

"Jingyi, if you have time, can you come to my place and help me train the spearmen under me? I don't have any generals who are good at using guns, and the young guys in that battalion who use guns have no one to teach them. I’m just training myself. I wonder if the young master can give me a favor and go to Xudu to stay for a while?”

Cao Cao was confident that as long as Zhang Ren arrived in Xudu, he would have to stay in Xudu regardless of whether he came for hard or soft reasons, or whether he was willing to stay or not, and there was nothing Liu Zhang could do.

Facing another olive branch extended by Cao Cao, Zhang Ren once again chose to avoid answering.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the general's marksmanship is really beyond the realm of elegance, and he is even more unqualified for the important task entrusted by the Prime Minister."

He intentionally or unintentionally avoided all of Cao Cao's approaches and olive branches. Some of them didn't respond, some of them answered Fei Sun's questions, and some of them also had something to say. Anyway, it was Cao Cao at high speed, and he would not turn around. .

Seeing this, Cao Cao no longer insisted, but there was no look of disappointment on Cao Cao's face, let alone anger. Instead, he was a little...smiling?

This scene completely dumbfounded Liu Zhang, who had been standing by. He didn't know what kind of medicine Cao Cao was selling in his gourd.

Cao Cao is even more interested in Zhang Ren, who has the nickname of Xichuan Gun King. If Zhang Ren really responded to him in his test, then he really has to consider whether he needs such a general. And whether it can feed his ambition.

Because Cao Cao can borrow Zhang Ren from Liu Zhang in this way, Liu Bei may use the same method to borrow Zhang Ren from him in the future. Therefore, Cao Cao is loyal and unswerving to Zhang Ren. In fact, I am very happy in my heart. After all, who likes someone who can influence someone with just a few words.

"Hahaha, okay, then if you have a chance later, go to Xudu and see the great lands of our Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao did not give Zhang Ren and the others a chance to speak, but walked up to Liu Zhang.

"Ji Yu, I just heard from our scouts that they just experienced a fierce battle with Meng Huo just now?"

"Yes, Brother Meng De is still well-informed. I haven't even finished the battle yet, and Brother Meng De already knows everything."

Facing Cao Cao, who had tried to win over Zhang Ren in front of him many times, and knowing that Cao Cao had concealed his actions, it was no longer possible for Liu Zhang to face Cao Cao with his previous mentality, and he was now sarcastic towards Cao Cao.

"Aren't you going to let us come in and sit down? After all, we have come all the way to help Ji Yu solve your problems."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Zhang with a smile on his face, waiting for Liu Zhang's reply. Facing the shameless Cao Cao, Liu Zhang could not think of any words to refuse. Cao Cao's words were all about this. If Liu Zhang refused, there would be no way. Different from breaking up, Liu Zhang now has no strength to fight against Cao Cao, nor is he sure to keep Cao Cao here, and he does not dare to break up with Cao Cao.

"Hahaha, look at me, brother Meng De, blame me, please come in quickly, Deng Xian, take General Dian with you to set up the cavalry brought by Prime Minister Cao."

Liu Zhang said, turned around and walked towards the camp. Before this, Liu Zhang would always let Cao Cao go in front of him, but this time Liu Zhang turned around and left without any hesitation.

Cao Cao's raised hand froze in the air, and the smile on his face froze, but he soon returned to normal, followed Liu Zhang's footsteps, and walked towards the camp.

In the tent, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao were already seated. Liu Zhang was sitting in the main seat, and Cao Cao was sitting under Liu Zhang. Below were Dian Wei and Cao Zhang. Opposite Cao Cao, there were Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Leng Bao and others. A first-class general, Cao Cao just smiled lightly at this. How could he not see that Liu Zhang was showing his strength.

It's just that Liu Zhang's strength, in Cao Cao's view, is really insignificant. Although there are many first-class generals, there is only one famous general, and the total strength is only a few hundred thousand. They were captured from the Western Regions as agreed before. Although the young men from the Western Regions have been trained, they are still with Cao Cao. They can give them to him if they want, but not if they don't want to. They are Liu Zhang's people in name, but they have nothing to do with Liu Zhang in reality.

It can be said that as long as Cao Cao wanted to, just relying on Dian Wei, Cao Zhang and the 5,000 cavalry brought by him, he could easily defeat Liu Zhang, and even beat Liu Zhang without the ability to fight back. Liu Zhang obviously didn't realize this yet, and he still didn't give Cao Cao a good look at this moment, and Cao Cao ignored him. This time, he came to Yizhou just to conquer Liu Zhang, or in other words, to destroy Liu Zhang.

No matter which way, Liu Zhang couldn't dance for long, and Cao Cao didn't mind Liu Zhang being more arrogant in this last period of time.

"Ji Yu, last time you went to Xudu to ask me to borrow troops and generals, my generals were not around at that time. Now that they are back, I will bring them over as soon as possible. Next, Meng Huo will hand over Just give it to the dog."

"Excuse me, Brother Meng De. We needed support at that time, but we don't need it now. If Brother Meng De came here specifically for this matter, he can go back. After all, on this battlefield, you can't eat well. I can’t sleep well, and I can’t entertain Brother Meng De properly.”

Liu Zhang responded immediately. It can be said that Liu Zhang's words were just short of saying that he did not welcome Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao would not give up until he achieved his goal this time. Therefore, even if Liu Zhang had already said this, Cao Cao also pretended to be nonchalant.

"This Meng Huo is not easy to deal with, and he has many barbarian soldiers under his command. If Ji Yu fights this battle by yourself, I am afraid you will suffer a lot of losses, and maybe a few generals will die."

Cao Cao no longer gave Liu Zhang a good look. Liu Zhang really didn't know what to do. He kept disobeying Cao Cao without saying anything, and kept yin and yang with Cao Cao. Under such circumstances, Cao Cao would naturally not be angry. Liu Zhang hadn't had time to speak. , the next moment, a young general behind Zhang Ren suddenly stood up.

"Cao Cao! What do you mean by this? Are you saying that we are all very weak and vulnerable? It sounds nice, but we brought two people in total, a stupid black-faced man, and you What's the use of my own son and five thousand cavalry? If they are thrown into the battlefield, can they last for half a quarter of an hour? If you want to get a share of the pie, just say so. There is no need to say anything about helping us under such a banner! "

This young general is none other than Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun. Not long after he joined the army, he was already a second-rate general. In addition, with the blessing of Liu Zhang as his father, he also has his own position in this big account. He is also at this moment He is the only second-rate general in this large account.

Cao Cao's eyes became extremely cold in an instant. It was different from his previous eyes. This time, Cao Cao really had murderous intent, and the murderous intent was rolling. Cao Zhang and Dian Wei sat upright at the same time. As long as Cao Cao was at this time With a single order, Dian Wei or Cao Zhang could immediately tear off his head.

Zhang Ren, who was sitting in front of Liu Xun, immediately sat up straight and tried his best to block Liu Xun's face, while frowning.

If in their eyes, Dian Wei seems to be integrated with heaven and earth, then in the eyes of a famous general like Zhang Ren, Dian Wei does not seem to be integrated into heaven and earth, but is stealing from heaven and earth. Power, the power of heaven and earth is used by them, so in the eyes of others, Dian Wei Cai seems to be integrated with heaven and earth.

Therefore, Zhang Ren is the most nervous person in this big account at this moment. Once the war starts, Zhang Ren can be said to be dead anyway. If he does not stand in front of Liu Xun, then Liu Zhang will definitely not let him go. If he overestimates his abilities and tries to use his arms as a chariot, he will be torn to pieces immediately by Dian Wei and will have no chance of survival.

"Brother Meng De, don't be angry!"

Liu Zhang obviously saw that something was not right in the atmosphere. At this moment, he could not care about what happened before, and quickly raised his arms to appease both parties.

"Brother Meng De, this is a bastard. It's because of my poor upbringing. I hope Brother Meng De can forgive him for his collision."

After saying that, Liu Zhang stood up, pointed at Liu Xun, and said with hatred for iron.

"You traitor, why don't you apologize to the Prime Minister and confess your crime!"

Liu Xun scratched his neck and was about to say something else, but Liu Zhang suddenly stepped forward, slapped Liu Xun hard on the face, and at the same time rebuked him angrily.

"After apologizing, get out of here!"

Liu Xun had never seen Liu Zhang so angry before, and he realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly stood up and bowed towards Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, it's my nephew's fault. My nephew was a little dizzy just now, so he said those unreasonable words. I hope the Prime Minister can forgive my nephew's ignorance."

Cao Cao's face was still expressionless, the murderous intent in his eyes had disappeared, and there was no longer a strong murderous intent, but he still stared at Liu Xun, as if he was thinking about something.
