After leaving the palace, Cao Cao became confused.
He couldn't accept the strategy proposed by Xun Yu at all.
Not only did it touch his bottom line, it went far beyond it!
Even before the defeat in Huainan, Xun Yu's words were enough to cost him his life!
But it was precisely because of this defeat that Cao Cao not only couldn't kill Xun Yu, but even refused.
The strategy was a good one and gave Cao Cao ample opportunities.
But the loss was too great, and Cao Cao would rather die than accept it.
Of course, I would rather die than accept it now.
Without returning to his residence in Xuchang, Cao Cao went directly to the school grounds.
The matter was too big for him to make the decision on his own.
Everything must be discussed with his subordinates!
After arriving at the Chinese army's commander's tent, Cao Cao summoned more than a dozen of his cronies.
There will naturally be many clan generals such as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.
Cheng Yu and Li Dian, two of the rich families in Yanzhou, followed Cao Cao all the way and helped Cao Cao achieve his hegemony.
Wang Xiang, a member of the Langya clan in Xuzhou, happened to be an official in the Xuchang court, so he was also summoned.
The aristocratic families in Hebei are represented by the Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Fanyang.
Cui Yan, the Cui family of Qinghe, and Lu Yu, the Lu family of Fanyang.
Lu Yu is the son of the former famous general Lu Zhi, and he is full of Confucianism.
In addition, there is the Chen family and Chen Qun of the Yingchuan family.
If Zhong Yao hadn't been appointed governor of Bingzhou, Cao Cao would have brought him in.
After all, those who stood firmly by Cao Cao's side and supported him in establishing a country and becoming king were Chen Qun and Zhong Yao.
Now Xun Yu's showdown has forced Cao Cao to have doubts about Chen Qun and other three major families.
just in case. . .
Perhaps Cao Cao's majesty plummeted in front of Xun Yu, but in front of others, King Wei was still extremely noble and could not be violated.
After receiving the summons, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to the commander's tent on the campus.
Since it is an ordinary handsome tent, the space is not very large.
After more than ten people entered, it suddenly seemed extremely crowded.
Coupled with the fact that the feelings after the defeat have not eased, the whole environment seems extremely depressing.
"Ahem..."
After everyone arrived, Cao Cao let out a light cough.
Let the dull atmosphere relax slightly.
Everyone also stood up and bowed down.
"Meet the King of Wei!"
"You don't have to be polite, please get up."
"Thank you, King Wei!"
"sit."
The crowded tent has many specially prepared seats.
Everyone was not polite and sat down one after another.
Everyone knows that today's meeting cannot end in a short time.
It is very likely to be far-reaching!
"Everyone, I am alone..."
Just as Cao Cao was about to speak and bring the topic down to business, he heard an exclamation from outside the tent.
"King Wei!"
Cao Cao frowned and was about to unleash his thunderous fury.
At this time, the miserable cries started again.
"King Wei!"
Cao Cao slapped the table and stood up directly.
"Asshole!"
This man was crying in mourning, as if Cao Cao was dead, which was really unlucky!
Coupled with the fact that he had just suffered a lot of anger in the palace, this gave Cao Cao a complete way to vent his anger.
"Someone, drag this beast down and behead him!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly stood up.
"Wait!"
Cao Cao stared, full of surprise.
Why does Xiahou Dun have to take care of killing someone now?
"Why. You are going to be beheaded for him!"
Xiahou Dun shook his head repeatedly and quickly explained.
"Don't you think this voice is very familiar to King Wei?"
"familiar?"
Cao Cao frowned.
Hearing Xiahou Dun say this, it seems a bit familiar.
"Don't behead yet, bring the people in!"
"As you command!"
Not long after, a man with disheveled hair and messy clothes was brought in.
With this sloppy energy, it is not an exaggeration to call him a beggar.
The stench emanating from the whole body made everyone in the handsome account cover their noses.
Where did the beggar come from?
"King Wei!"
The man wailed, immediately bowed to Yu Di, and then burst into tears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"this..."
Cao Cao was also confused.
The person in front of him had his face covered by his hair, so he couldn't see clearly who he was.
Her voice was a little hoarse from crying, and she couldn't tell it was too soft.
"you..."
Xiahou Dun, on the other hand, seemed to recognize the identity of the crying man.
"Zixiao?"
"Zixiao?"
Cao Cao quickly endured the stench and stepped forward.
Pushing aside the messy hair, I finally got a clear look at his face.
If it’s not Cao Ren, then who is it?
"Cao Ren, you... weren't you captured?"
At that time, Cao Cao escaped and gathered his defeated troops, but he heard with his own ears that Cao Ren's soldiers said that Cao Ren fell off his horse and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Regardless of whether Cao Ren is dead or alive, the best outcome is definitely to be captured by Liu Zhang.
Last time Cao Hong and others were captured, the alliance used the means to redeem them.
This time the two sides broke up completely, and Cao Cao gave up on trying to save Cao Ren.
I can only pray in my heart that Cao Renfu is lucky and safe.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ren came back.
"Zixiao, it's really you!"
Cao Cao ignored the stench and directly dragged Cao Ren up.
Completely demonstrated his love for talent.
Cao Ren was so moved that tears streamed from his nose.
"King Wei, King Wei!"
"I... I almost won't be able to see King Wei!"
"I know, Gudu knows!"
Cao Cao kept patting Cao Ren on the shoulder, and his eyes were red with emotion.
Without asking too much, you can feel the ups and downs and hardships along the way from this sloppy and miserable appearance!
However, in order to show Cao Ren's loyalty and bravery, Cao Cao still asked.
"Zixiao, what have you experienced along the way?"
Cao Ren sighed heavily and talked about his fabricated experiences.
"On the way to retreat, my horse stumbled and I fell into a pile of dead people!"
"No matter how much I struggle, I can't move for a moment, and I can't even commit suicide!"
"In this way, I was captured by Liu Zhang."
Cao Cao nodded, exactly as he understood.
"Then how did you escape?"
Cao Ren was trembling with excitement and complained loudly about his grievances.
"King Wei, I have gone through a lot of hardships!"
"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly!"
"It's like this. After I was captured, Liu Zhang warmly received me and personally persuaded me to surrender!"
"Liu Zhang said that I am brave and invincible and naturally handsome. He is an indispensable talent for him to stabilize the world and achieve hegemony! In order to win over me, Liu Zhang even almost knelt down to me!"
