"Very good!"
When Cao Mengde heard the news from the spies, the melancholy on his face had been wiped away.
"Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, has already sent out troops. I believe it won't take long to reach Juye, and Lu Bu's son will be destroyed by then."
At this point, Cao Mengde was still in front of everyone. He was suddenly stunned and asked doubtfully, "Where has Wen Ruo gone? Why didn't you see him?"
Originally, Xun Yu occupied a relatively forward position, which was convenient for Cao Mengde to ask.
But at this moment, the place where Xun or sat and stood was empty.
Some people had discovered this problem a long time ago and thought that Xun might be in trouble, so they didn't pay attention to it.
When everyone heard Cao Mengde's question, they reacted and turned to look at where Xun You was originally standing, their eyes full of surprise.
Xun or Ren Zhengtong would attend every meeting. Even if he was sick, he would come here even if he was sick. If he really couldn't stand up, he would take the initiative to ask for leave. He would never miss it without any reason.
Xiahou Dun frowned, "Where has Mr. Wen Ruo gone? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Cao Mengde suddenly shouted to the door, "Come, please go to Mr. Wen Ruo's tent immediately and report back immediately if you need anything."
"I obey my orders."
Cao Mengde didn't take it seriously when he heard the soldiers leaving. He turned his head and looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"Everyone, the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, will be here soon. Do you have any suggestions?"
Xiahou Dun raised his hand and said, "My lord, since the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has arrived, the general believes that our army does not need to do anything but wait."
Lu Qian nodded, "Yes, the morale of the soldiers is too low now and they are not suitable for going into battle. It is safer to wait and wait."
Cao Mengde heard what the two said and nodded in sympathy, "You are right, now we just need to wait. In addition, send people everywhere to collect food. The more the better, in case of emergency."
Lu Qian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, since the eldest son of Jizhou, Yuan Tan, has arrived, he might have a plan over there. It's better to send someone to inquire so that we can cooperate."
After hearing this, Cao Mengde nodded, "It makes sense. Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Jizhou, has countless capable people. Before sending troops, he might have made a plan. It would be good to send someone to inquire."
Xiahou Dun hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "The general will send someone to ask immediately."
Cao Mengde was about to speak when suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent. Soon, the soldiers who had just gone out hurried back with a nervous look on their faces.
"My lord, my subordinates were ordered to see Mr. Wen Ruo, but when they arrived at his tent, they didn't see him."
Hearing this, Lu Qian smiled and cupped his hands, "Maybe Mr. Wen Ruo is upset and wants to walk around."
While he was speaking, the soldier had already taken out a letter and held it up with both hands. "Although my subordinate did not see Mr. Wen Ruo, he found this letter on her desk."
Hearing this, Cao Mengde's face darkened, "How could you secretly read Mr. Wen Ruo's letter? Send it back immediately, and then go to the Military Law Office to collect the charges when you come back."
In order to respect Xun Yu, Cao Mengde did not allow anyone to look through his personal belongings. Even if he wanted to look at them again, he would never look at them.
Of course, this is just a superficial problem, or at least it needs to be shown to everyone.
The soldier was startled and hurriedly handed over his hand, "My lord, my subordinate saw that the recipient of this letter was you, so I brought it back and presented it to my lord."
Well!
Cao Mengde couldn't help but be stunned. Everyone was in the same military camp. Do you need to write a letter for something?
"Send it up quickly."
The soldier hurriedly delivered the letter, not daring to stay any longer, and hurriedly turned around and left.
Cao Mengde picked up the letter, opened it quickly, and began to read the contents.
At first he looked normal, but after reading it, his face turned livid and he roared angrily.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, why are you leaving?"
"Come here, come quickly. Go after Mr. Wen Ruo. You must bring him back to me, otherwise I won't spare you."
Xiahou Dun's expression changed on the side and he asked hurriedly, "Lord, what happened?"
Cao Mengde placed the letter on the table with trembling hands and sighed, "The content of this letter is Mr. Wen Ruo's farewell to me."
"What?"
When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed, and they could hardly believe their ears.
What does farewell mean? To put it simply, it means resigning!
"What, Mr. Wenruo wants to leave the military camp, how is this possible?"
Cao Mengde looked at everyone's open mouths in shock and sighed, "Mr. Wen Ruo said he was feeling unwell and wanted to go home to recuperate."
Xiahou Dun suddenly roared angrily, raised his hands and said, "My lord, I will go after Mr. Wen Ruo right now. Since he is going home, I must chase him back even if I catch up to Yingchuan."
Xiahou Dun knew very well how important Xun Huo was in Cao's army!
At the current stage, it can even be said to be an indispensable figure.
Now, Xun You is leaving, which is a big deal!
Cao Mengde nodded, "You should take people there immediately and be sure to chase Mr. Wen Ruo back."
Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, even if the general is asked to kneel down and kowtow, the general will never hesitate."
When Cao Mengde saw that Xiahou Dun had this realization, he nodded with satisfaction, "Go quickly, the sooner the better, don't be too late."
After Xiahou Dun left, everything suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, everyone had calmed down from the shock. After thinking about it carefully, they suddenly discovered something different.
However, although some people remembered it, no one dared to mention it and could only think about it in their hearts.
Cao Mengde felt upset when he thought of Xun You's departure. He suddenly punched the table and gritted his teeth.
"Mr. Wen Ruo, why am I sorry for you? You must leave."
Lu Qian hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands, "My lord, maybe Mr. Wen Ruo is really unwell. During this period, I have seen him coughing frequently. Maybe he really can't stand it anymore and wants to go home to rest for a while." Fan.
Mr. Wenruo will come back after he recovers. "
Hearing this, Cao Mengde's eyes lit up, "Did you really see Mr. Wen Ruo cough?"
Lu Qian hurriedly handed over his hand, "I did see it. I also asked about it. Mr. Wen Ruo said he was feeling unwell, but I didn't look into it carefully, so I don't know the reason."
Cao Mengde said regretfully, "I didn't expect that Mr. Wenruo was working while sick, but I didn't know about it. I'm really ashamed. If I invite him back, I will definitely apologize to him in person."
