We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 74 Xi Yu: Are you sure you want to compete with me in literary talent?
Zhang Feihu's eyes widened in front of him. After Zhao Yun deflected the eight-foot-long snake spear, the spear blade was only a little distance away from him.
The tone in Zhang Fei's mouth diluted the joy in Zhao Yun's heart in an instant.
He thought that when he returned, he would be greeted with concern.
Who would have thought that before he could say anything, Zhang Fei would have already decided that he had defected to the seller.
How heart-breaking.
Not to mention that he did not surrender to Cao Ying, but he was thinking about the benefits of the Liu brothers.
But in the end, it was no match for the rumors.
What's more, this doubt came from Zhang Fei's mouth.
The three brothers Liu Bei and Liu Bei are one of their own. If Zhang Fei can say such things, what do Liu Bei and Guan think?
Zhao Yun felt a little heavy. He only said one sentence of explanation and couldn't say any more.
The joy of meeting again was completely washed away by a simple question. Zhao Yun didn't say anything more, but just looked at Zhang Fei in front of him.
"Why, did I get it right?"
Zhang Fei, who was dismounted, glared at Zhao Yun and tightened his grip on the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand.
"Your kid was captured, and nothing has happened yet. Others can still let you back intact. If it's not that your kid has surrendered to the enemy, what else could it be?"
There were no injuries visible on Zhao Yun in front of him, and Zhang Fei had already concluded in his heart that Zhao Yun was probably surrendering to the enemy.
He raised his eyes and looked behind Zhao Yun to see if Cao Ying's army was following him.
This move made Zhao Yun feel even more chilled.
"Right and wrong will be decided by oneself. Yun has never defected to the enemy and rebelled. Since General Zhang doesn't believe it, Yun has nothing to say to you!"
Zhao Yun's tone was calm, and after saying something casually, he looked towards the yard behind Zhang Fei.
"snort!"
"I think you don't know how to explain it?"
Zhang Fei snorted coldly.
For him, Zhao Yun's time with them was too short after all. In addition, the other party seldom showed any obvious performance on weekdays, so Zhang Fei did not particularly approve of him.
At this time, the movement of the two people outside the courtyard naturally attracted the attention of Liu Guan and Liu Guan inside the house.
As the wooden door in the courtyard was opened.
Liu and Guan came out hand in hand.
"Zi Long!"
As soon as he heard the noise outside the courtyard, Liu Bei and Guan Yu hurried out of the house.
At this time, I took a quick look and realized that my third brother had unexpectedly confronted Zhao Yun outside.
Although Liu Bei was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but feel a message in his heart.
Guan Yu raised his brows, not quite understanding.
"Zilong, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Zhao Yun was standing on a war horse, with the bright silver spear in his hand stretched across his chest. Zhang Fei in front of him had a cold face, and he was holding a snake spear that was eight feet high.
Liu Bei was a little puzzled by this situation.
"Third brother, you guys?"
"Brother, this kid defected to the enemy and dared to come back now. Brother is watching the battle from behind. I have to poke a few holes in him today!"
Zhang Fei cursed, and upon hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly.
Zhao Yun surrendered to the enemy?
In his opinion, Zhao Yun was not that easy to defect to the enemy. Could it be that his third brother had misunderstood something?
However, Liu Bei was still a little confused as to why Zhao Yun returned at this time.
He had been sending letters to Cao Cao before, but when the other party didn't even reply to the letters, Liu Bei no longer had much hope as to whether Zhao Yun could come back.
However, I never thought that Zhao Yun would actually come back.
This somewhat surprised Liu Bei.
Looking at Zhao Yun again, Liu Bei still wanted to know what happened to Zhao Yun in Cao Camp during this month.
"General Liu, Yun has not surrendered to the enemy and rebelled!"
"Yun has benefited a lot from this journey with the general. However, General Zhang no longer believes in Yun, and Yun has nothing to say!"
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei calmly, and after a simple explanation, there was already some unfamiliarity in his tone.
Hearing this, Liu Bei was suddenly startled.
What does it mean?
Zhao Yun is leaving?
Damn it, my third brother really misunderstood the other party, and it seems that Zhao Yun's heart has been chilled.
Liu Bei felt something bad, and he quickly took a few steps towards Zhao Yun.
"What are you talking about Zilong?"
"Since we first met in Youzhou, Zilong and I have hit it off like old friends. I believe in Zilong's character and will never surrender to the enemy or rebel."
Liu Bei still wanted to stay, but Guan Yu next to him also understood at this time.
Danfeng glanced at Zhang Fei but said nothing.
Zhang Fei frowned with a cold face, and at this moment, he seemed to have come back to his senses.
However, what a man says is like a nail driven into the ground, and there is no reason to take it back.
He kept a straight face and allowed Liu Bei to persuade him without making any statement.
Zhao Yun listened to Liu Bei's persuasion, but he had no intention of staying anymore.
If the other party is so suspicious today, there will be a second or third time in the future.
Liu Guan and Zhang were sworn brothers, but he was just an outsider after all.
Even though he had a good impression of Liu Bei, from today onwards, there were some cracks between them.
He had not completely surrendered to Liu Bei before, but he was just someone seconded by Gongsun Zan!
After understanding in his heart, Zhao Yun no longer had any desire to stay.
At the moment, he thought it would be better to return to his hometown.
"The general's kindness is appreciated. This time Yun has decided to return to his hometown to visit his family. If there is a chance, he will meet the general again in the future!"
After the words fell, Zhao Yunyu immediately raised his hand towards Liu Bei.
Without saying anything else, after turning the horse's head around again, Zhao Yun let his back open in front of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, and then rode away.
Everything happened too fast. Seeing Zhao Yun's decisive look, Liu Bei opened his mouth, but after all, no words came out.
Zhang Fei bared his teeth and said, "Brother, how about I catch up and capture this kid?"
"Yide!"
Liu Bei turned his head and sighed helplessly towards Zhang Fei.
"Your questioning Zilong this time is already chilling, so why do you do this?"
"Since Zilong wants to return home, we can only let him return home!"
Liu Bei felt a little disappointed. The general he had finally fallen in love with had already left him.
The matter was a foregone conclusion, and although he felt a little annoyed, Zhang Fei was his brother after all.
Moreover, after seeing Xi Yu's martial arts, Liu Bei now felt a little less fond of Zhao Yun.
It would be a great joy for Liu Bei if he could get a talent like Xi Yu.
"Third brother, you are reckless!"
Guan Yu shook his head. After watching Zhao Yun leave, he naturally understood that all this was a reckless move by his third brother.
If it was him who was outside the hospital just now, it would naturally not be possible for him to be like this.
However, now that it has become like this, Guan Yu doesn't care too much.
Now, after seeing Xi Yu's tyranny, he has higher requirements for his own force.
"If he doesn't explain himself well, can he blame me?"
Zhang Fei muttered, and Liu Guan and Liu Guan shook their heads.
"Forget it, if I see Zilong again in the future, third brother, please apologize again!"
…
Xuzhou, Dongping City!
It's snowing heavily, the air conditioning is rising, and it's freezing cold!
That day, as soon as the sky dawned and the cold wind blew, Cao's army began to withdraw.
The road back to Yanzhou was covered with snow layer after layer. The entire Cao army could only clear the snow while slowly returning to the army.
At that time, Cao Cao and Xi Yu were riding together.
"This snow is really unlucky!"
Cao Cao felt a little emotional. He was planning to return to the army, but it snowed for several days in a row.
The journey back to Yanzhou, which originally took a few days, might be extended by a day or two.
Xi Yu was wearing a dark cloak and looked at the vast expanse of white in front of him. The soldiers in front were quickly clearing away the snow.
The progress of the return trip was pretty good, but compared to the normal return journey, it was still a bit slower.
The Battle of Xuzhou has now come to an end.
According to his original idea, if Cao Cao could defeat Xuzhou in one battle, it would be a great thing.
It's just that such a thing is simple to think about, but when it is actually done, it is still far from the ideal.
War is not a matter of one or two words or a strategy that can decide everything.
There are too many variables.
I thought that in this era, relying on the foresight in my mind, I could do many things that ordinary people could not do.
However, after truly experiencing it, I realized how difficult it is.
Although foresight is good, the characters of this era are far from the dead objects recorded in the history books of later generations.
When he got involved, everything changed.
The Xuzhou nobles and Tao Qian were united. Historically, Cao Cao had to conquer Xuzhou three times.
How can things that are decided in one battle be so simple?
"However, the snow is not bad this time. I think next year will be a good harvest!"
Cao Cao looked at the snow in front of him and laughed again.
The result of this current battle is already extremely good. Being able to capture most of Xuzhou is even considered a great thing for him.
If we can fight steadily and control half of Xuzhou under our control.
For the entire Cao Camp, the strength will be greatly improved.
Now, all we have to do is wait for this spring to pass. By then, it will not be too late to fight in Xuzhou again.
Cao Cao was in a good mood, and combined with the emotions in his mind a few days ago, he became very poetic.
"In the tenth month of Mengdong, the north wind lingers, the weather is clear, and there is frost and rain."
"The rooster crows in the morning, the wild geese fly south, the grebes hide, and the bears roost in their caves."
…
"What a blessing! Sing to express your ambition."
Xi Yu was thinking about the major events that would happen in the next few years. Boss Cao's sudden enthusiasm for poetry made him stunned.
He subconsciously glanced at Cao Cao beside him, who turned back and grinned at Xi Yu.
"Fengyi, what do you think of the poem you just made?"
Seeing Xi Yu turning his head to look at him, Cao Cao asked with a proud look on his face.
This poem is his natural work. He is saying it casually now, and he feels extremely satisfied in his heart.
Hearing Cao Cao ask this, Xi Yu frowned.
How about it?
What can he say?
It has to be said that because Cao Cao was so outstanding in this era, he almost forgot that Lao Cao's own literary attainments were not bad at all.
It is easy for later generations to ignore Lao Cao's identity as a poet.
However, Lao Cao's most famous one is of course "Guan Cang Hai"!
Of course, when it comes to poetry, Xi Yu and Cao Cao really have nothing to communicate with each other.
However, when compared to poetry, he is not vain at all.
Although I can’t write, I can use it!
In the next few hundred years, those poems and lyrics that will be handed down from generation to generation are still far away from this era!
He has already brought things like the Quyuan Plow to this era. It’s not too much to bring some poems here!
"good!"
Seeing Cao Cao's complacent look, Xi Yu made a casual comment.
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's face froze for a moment.
good?
What do you mean by okay?
Cao Cao turned his eyes and narrowed his eyes slightly.
That's right. A man as talented as Fengyi naturally has some experience in poetry. Why don't you let Fengyi also write one?
"In that case, I would like to hear Fengyi's masterpiece!"
Hearing what Cao Cao said, many poems about snow scenes appeared in Xi Yu's mind in an instant.
"The wind is strong and the horns are bowing, and the general is hunting Dongping."
"The grass is dry and the hawk's eye is weak, and the snow is gone and the horse's hooves are light."
"Suddenly passed through Xinfeng City and returned to Xiliu Camp."
"Looking back at the place where the Condor Shooting is taking place, the clouds are flat at dusk over a thousand miles away."
After changing the poem to suit the occasion, Xi Yu casually said it. Cao Cao stared at him, as if he didn't expect Xi Yu to compose a poem casually.
This simply surprised him.
The thoughts that were so complacent just now were suddenly hit by Xi Yu.
"It's true that it's righteousness!"
Although this poem is not a Yuefu style poem in the Han Dynasty, the overall rhythm is very interesting. After Cao Cao read it twice in his mind, he could no longer say anything about Xi Yu.
At this time, the wind around seemed to be stronger.
Xi Yu glanced at Cao Cao. He didn't want to discuss poetry and poetry with Boss Cao at this time.
He glanced at the carriage in the camp.
On the way back, Xi Zhicai sat in the carriage by himself. At this time, Xi Yu also wanted to sit in the carriage.
Although with his physique, he is not afraid of things like severe cold, but why should he endure the wind when he can sit in a warm carriage?
What's more, it will take several more days to return to Yanzhou!
After looking at Cao Cao again, Xi Yu slowed down slightly, and soon after handing the horse over to the soldiers, he got into Xi Zhicai's carriage.
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao was stunned.
what's the situation?
I had seen Xi Yu riding a horse outside before, so he didn't sit in the carriage.
But now, he was riding a horse with Xi Yu outside. Who would have thought that the other party would actually start riding a car?
The wind around was so strong that Cao Cao's face turned red.
He also wanted to sit in the carriage, but now that the army was advancing, as the lord, he had to set an example no matter what.
Xi Yu could shrink into the carriage at this time, but he couldn't!
At the beginning of mid-December, Cao Cao's army that attacked Xuzhou completely returned to Yanzhou.
After returning to Juancheng, Xi Yu immediately returned to his residence. He had just been newly married and it was the time of deep love.
Cao Cao began to award rewards based on merit in the Battle of Xuzhou. Of course, on the surface, the rewards still had to be presented to the emperor who was in Chang'an City.
But this kind of thing is just a process.
Before the New Year, there was another heavy snowfall in Yanzhou.
As for the process of the Battle of Xuzhou, it has now been completely spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
There is also a good story about the bet between Cao and Liu.
Cao Cao didn't have any opinion on this. After all, he was the victorious party. As for what Liu Bei was thinking, perhaps only the person involved knew clearly.
It was snowing heavily, so Xi Yu was naturally too lazy to go to the government office. What's more, he still had his lovely wife at home looking at him eagerly.
Xi Yu didn't go to the government office, but Cao Cao and Xun Yu couldn't wait to find him.
"Fengyi, Liu Yu is dead!"
Inside the actor's inner house.
Xi Zhicai took the initiative to add firewood to the fire, while Xi Yu's face turned dark.
I had just come back not long ago, and I was thinking about getting along with my beloved wife for a while. My brother was also very understanding and stayed away from home for several days and nights.
Who would have thought that within a few days, a man named Cao would come to the door with his counselors in tow to disturb him.
Liu Yu is dead?
How about that?
Xi Yu was speechless. If he remembered correctly, Liu Yu did die at this time in history.
It was obvious that Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan were not getting along, but it was normal for them to end up like this.
Although he could suppress Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu still didn't have the determination.
If it had been Lao Cao, Gongsun Zan would have died a hundred and eighty times long ago.
Now that Liu Yu is dead, Gongsun Zan will rule the entire Youzhou, and then there will be a fight between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.
Although Gongsun Zan was capable, he was ultimately brave and foolhardy and his vision was too narrow.
Xi Yu said nothing, and Cao Cao next to him smiled and spoke again.
"Now that Liu Yu is dead, Gongsun Zan will soon dominate Youzhou!"
"Think about the bad blood between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Under the current situation, the two will definitely be incompatible!"
"I was originally worried that my attack on Xuzhou would make Yuan Shao jealous, but I never thought that a happy event has happened now!"
Cao Cao looked happy. After receiving the news, he felt much better.
A few days ago, when Yuan Shao wrote to him, he was obviously dissatisfied with the results of his attack on Xuzhou.
Now, he is not worried at all.
Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou, and even if Yuan Shao was a little dissatisfied with him, so what?
Nowadays, Yuan Shao has no time to worry about him.
Youzhou hangs above Yuan Shao's head like a sharp sword, if Yuan Shao dares to attack Cao Cao at this time.
Who knows whether Gongsun Zan will take advantage of this moment to lead his troops directly into Yuan Shao's heart.
"Brother, are you here just to talk about this?"
Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Cao Cao. Xun Yu beside him did not say anything, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Cao Cao regained his composure and paused. At this moment, he seemed to realize something?
It seems that it is indeed not a big deal! -
