"Why not? My lord's release of the three loud arrows is to allow us to wait for the opportunity and attack on our own, not to force us to fight immediately. Therefore, brother, you can use your discretion, but you still have this bit of patience, brother Zhuang." General Shuo said happily.

As the voice fell, the mountain depression suddenly became silent again, and even the war horses tied under the shade of the trees were covered with hoofs and mouths, and there was no sound.

Seeing this, you must have understood that the ambush soldiers lurking behind the allied army came from the [-] troops under Xu Rong's tent in the Xingyang camp.There are two leading generals: the main general is Changshan Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong who is open-minded, wise and brave, and the deputy general is Xu Huang Xu Gongming, who is called a good general by Li Li, that is, a burly general.

In September last year, Zhao Yu and Li Xian's wedding was postponed until the end of the year due to the outbreak of war in Sili.In mid-October, Zhao Yun escorted his sister to Chang'an to get married. After entering Sili territory, he learned that the Xiliang army was confronting the allied forces of the princes at Hangu Pass, and the battle was stalemate.Yes.Zhao Yun then rushed to Xingyang camp with the sending team to discuss countermeasures with Xu Rong.Afterwards, Xu Rong sent a guard to escort Zhao Yu's relatives in a car to drive through Wuguan to Chang'an.But Zhao Yun and the hundred or so brave men who followed him to join the Xiliang army stayed under Xu Rong's tent.

In November, just after Li Li Hangu Pass beheaded Han De and Han Meng's nephew and uncle to deter the allied forces from acting rashly, Zhao Yun led more than a hundred townspeople to sneak into the former allied camp in Loudi.Then, with Sui Gu's support, Zhao Yun led a hundred cavalry to attack Feiyundu at night and set fire to the Allied army's food and grass camp.And beheaded Chen Liu and Zhang Miao on the way to retreat.

Ten days ago, Xu Huang was ordered to go to the Xingyang camp to deliver an order, secretly ordering Xu Rong to send a troop to attack the Allied rear on the day of the decisive battle.The Hangu army, which was fighting head-on, formed a momentum of brilliance before and after, defeating the allied forces of the princes in one fell swoop.However, Li Li did not specify in the secret order who would be the leader of this surprise army, but he sent Xu Huang to deliver the order.Its purpose is already clear.But Xu Rong, who received the order, did not appoint Xu Huang as the chief general according to Li Li's intention.Instead, Zhao Yun, who had just joined the army and had not yet formally met Li Li, was selected as the chief general, and Xu Huang was appointed as the deputy general.Immediately, Xu Rong dispatched [-] troops from the [-] soldiers and horses of the Xingyang Camp and handed them over to the two of them, and they set off secretly three days ago.

Since then, if it is said that Xu Huang has no grudges in his heart, he readily accepts Xu Rong's dispatch, and does his best to cooperate with Zhao Yun in the battle.I'm afraid no one will believe it, even Xu Rong himself doesn't believe that Xu Huang is so magnanimous.Yes.Before leaving, he personally explained Zhao Yun's identity to Xu Huang, and told Baiqi that it was Zhao Yun who robbed the camp. His intention was self-evident. Fight this battle well.

However, Xu Huang and Zhao Yun spent too little time together. They didn't know each other before and had no communication at all.Therefore, Xu Huang inadvertently showed a little dissatisfaction with Zhao Yun during the march for several days, showing a faint sense of rivalry, and even a little disdain.Xu Huang was deeply moved by Zhao Yun's humility and honesty until tonight when he received Li Li's order to wait for the opportunity to attack. After some in-depth conversations, the two finally got rid of their estrangement and treated each other sincerely.

It has to be said that this is the meeting between Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, so that they can settle their suspicions so quickly. It might not be so easy for other people.Because Zhao Yun is open-minded and sincere in dealing with others, and his martial arts skills are extremely strong, and he is well versed in the art of war; and Xu Huang is also a man of both civil and military skills, good at managing the army, and Li Li regards him as a general.The most important thing is that Xu Huang is generous, rigorous in running the army, advocating orders and prohibitions, and has a strong outlook on the overall situation.In this way, between the two of them, one treats others sincerely, and the other behaves honestly and honestly. After treating each other frankly, what barriers and grievances cannot be resolved?

"Brother Gongming, there is still an hour and a half before dawn, and we are still more than [-] miles away from the Allied army camp, and there is the Feiyundu rear camp that is heavily defended in the middle. Now, the battle is urgent and time is waiting for no one, so Brother Yu gave the order directly." In the silent mountain depression, Zhao Yun made a decision after thinking about it for a while.

"Even though Zilong gave the order, he has an order, and as a brother, he must obey!" Xu Huang responded.

Zhao Yun nodded upon hearing the words: "Since that's the case, my younger brother will take the liberty once. If there is anything wrong, please tell me directly. I agree that the army will set off immediately and must arrive at the Allied camp within an hour. On the way, Feiyun will inevitably be alarmed. At that time, brother Gongming will lead an army of [-] infantry to stop Feiyun from crossing the enemy, and I will lead the rest of the troops to go straight to the allied camp. If we can bypass the allied camp and go directly to Loudi In the original battlefield, I led the army to attack the allied army from behind, and flanked the allied army with the lord's army. If we fail to win on the main battlefield, we will retreat quickly and wait for an opportunity to fight again; if the battle goes well, then the allied forces can be completely defeated in one battle! With such an arrangement, I wonder what Brother Gongming wants?"

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Huang said happily, "Very good, Brother Yu has no objection."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to delay, the army will set out immediately!" Nodding his head in response, Zhao Yun got on his horse and waved his arms, causing the silent mountain to boil immediately.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao succeeded in his conspiracy in Loudiyuan, it was the time when this surprise army raided the Allied camp.This is: you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

Da da da!

In Loudi's original left-wing battlefield, tens of thousands of allied soldiers extinguished their torches and stood quietly at the foot of the mountain to the north, watching the fierce fighting hundreds of steps away with their eyes wide open.

Following the rapid sound of horseshoes approaching from far and near, a small but strong figure sitting on horseback rode out from the stationary army.

"Why did Zixiao come back at this time? Didn't he find Zhen'er and Xiu'er?"

"Let the lord wait for a long time, the last general is willing to be punished."

While answering, Cao Ren galloped up to Cao Cao, then pointed to two men wearing Xiliang battle armor not far behind him, and said, "Although the last general has been delayed for a long time, it is finally You fulfilled your mission and brought back Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu unscathed!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao, who had a strong figure, was shocked when he heard the sound. He looked in the direction Cao Ren knew, and lost his voice, "Zhen'er and Xiu'er are back? Hehehe, God bless my Cao family!"

Just as Cao Cao was laughing, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who had escaped from death, rode forward on their horses. They flew off their horses and knelt down excitedly: "Father,,, uncle, I'm back!"

"Okay, okay, okay, just come back!"

At this moment, Cao Cao wept with joy, turned off his horse in an instant, strode up to Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, leaned over to support them with both hands, and said with a smile: "Being a father is incompetent, and my son has suffered. Get up quickly, let me Take a good look. Has the injury healed?"

"Thank you father (uncle) for your concern. I have already recovered from my injuries and are safe and sound!"

After Cao Cao heard the words.He nodded in relief and said, "It's so good, it's so good!"

While speaking, he changed the subject abruptly, and said with some emotion: "From this point of view, although Thief Li is cunning and vicious, he is still a man of faith, and he will do what he says. Sure enough, Zidan and Wen Lie were released intact. Come back!" (Note: Cao Zhen, styled Zidan; Cao Xiu, styled Wenlie.)

"Ugh!" Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Cao Ren were astonished when they heard the sound.They all looked at Cao Cao with puzzled faces.Obviously, they didn't expect Cao Cao to praise Xiliang Li Li in public. You must know that Li Li is the life-and-death enemy of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and his hatred is as deep as the sea.

"Huh?" Seeing that Cao Ren and the others looked different.Cao Cao shook his head slightly.He smiled lightly and asked, "Why do you have such expressions? Could it be that what I said was inaccurate, or do you think that I, Cao Cao, are narrow-minded and have no tolerance for others?"

After Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and Cao Ren heard the words, they all shook their heads and denied: "The last general dare not!"

Immediately, Cao Ren hesitated and said: "Bie Li is indeed a man who will do what he says. It's just that this thief is as cunning as a fox, ruthless, and has a deep hatred with us, and he will never die. Yes. I don't know why my lord still treats Li thief differently." ?”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, frowning slightly.He said thoughtfully: "We are born in troubled times, the princes are fighting for hegemony, the whole world is fighting and bleeding every moment, hundreds of people die in the fighting every day, and we are naturally no exception. Now, Thief Li is powerful and powerful, so naturally he is the Daozu, and we are reduced to fish and meat; therefore, many members of my Cao family and Xiahou family's two major families died in the hands of this thief. However, one day, they may be separated from each other. , if I become stronger, will I be merciful to Li Thief's brothers and clansmen?"

Cao Ren, Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were stunned when they heard the words, but after a little hesitation, they had to admit that Cao Cao was right.If Li Li's family members, brothers or clansmen fall into their hands, they will definitely kill them without hesitation, and they will definitely not have the benevolence of women in their hearts.Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but nodded slightly, acquiescing to Cao Cao's remarks.

Seeing Cao Ren and the others nodding, Cao Cao smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal them to mount their horses.After sitting on the horse again, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he said solemnly: "As the saying goes, do not do to others what you do not want to do to others. Since we will not let Li Li's family and clansmen go, how can we How can I expect him to let our people go? I, Cao Cao, have never forgotten the bloody feud that Thief Li killed Anger, Anmin, Cao Hong and Xiahou brothers, even for a moment. Every day when I close my eyes, I will think of their tragic death. This made me feel so bad that I wished I could kill Li thief immediately to avenge them. However, the dead are gone, and those of us who are alive must continue to live, and we must live well. Only in this way can we have a substitute Chance and strength for their revenge.

At the same time, for Li Li, who slaughtered many of Cao Cao's generals and clansmen, I have a grudge against him, but I have no hatred.This is because all vendettas and wars are caused by this chaotic world.If the world is peaceful, brothers Xiahou and Anger will not die, Li Li and I may still be ministers of the same court, and we may even be able to communicate with each other and become friends.However, we all live in this world ruled by princes, wars and killings are inevitable, either he dies or I die, there is no other choice. "

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, and said in a low voice with emotion: "Because of this, now that Li Li can keep his promise and release Zidan and Wen Lie back unscathed, from the bottom of my heart, I still have some feelings for him." I am grateful. I judge others by myself. If I, Cao Cao, captured his generals or members of the Li clan, I would definitely not let his clan members go easily because he provided a few information. Even after I got the information, I would still To kill them, at least let them go after beating them to death or maiming them. It can be seen that Li Liqi is indeed a man of faith, broad-minded, generous and noble, worthy of admiration.

However, people who keep their promises are admirable, but they are inevitably a bit pedantic.Keeping his promises allowed Li Li to establish a lofty prestige, but one day his integrity will harm him, at least let him suffer huge casualties and losses.Perhaps, this day will not be too long, maybe it is just around the corner! "

Just as Cao Cao said these words, he heard a huge "bang" sound coming towards his face. The sound was like the sky falling and the earth sinking. The huge ground vibration made the horses under Cao Cao and others restless , screaming and hissing, and then instinctively retreated to the foot of the mountain.

"Ahhh! This"

The earth trembled suddenly.Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and the more than [-] soldiers behind them screamed in panic, and they all looked at the Allied rear line where the flames suddenly disappeared, because the sound of the collapse, which seemed like the power of heaven and earth, came from there. issued.

"This,,, is this a trap?" Cao Ren said in shock.

"En." Cao Cao nodded slightly.Other than the slight change in expression, he didn't seem surprised at all, as if everything was in his expectation.

"Zixiao said that this is a trap, which is actually true, but more accurately, it should be a large-scale cave. This cave is about four miles long from east to west. It is about [-] steps wide from north to south. Hollow out. The inside of the cave is two feet deep, and there are no less than one hundred thousand bamboo thorns and sharp arrows more than one foot long. The bottom of the cave is covered with thorns, sharp stones, wooden stakes and iron filings. It is no exaggeration He said that this burrow is no different from a purgatory on earth. Once it collapses and forms a crater, it will be so powerful, lethal, and spread widely. It is hard to imagine. It is enough to kill all the soldiers and horses on the Loudi Plain. this!"

The moment the cave collapsed frightened Cao Cao, but when he talked about the details of the pit, his tone trembled, as if he had lingering fears, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared when he mentioned this matter.

"Ah!" Cao Ren's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said in amazement, "This is what Yuan Shao did? But why does my lord know so clearly? Could it be that my lord also participated in it?"

Cao Cao shook his head when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is all Yuan Shao's doing. It has nothing to do with me! Although I, Cao Cao, can't be regarded as a benevolent gentleman, I don't bother to do such things that are against the harmony of nature. Yuan Shao's move may be A long-cherished wish can be fulfilled, but it hurts the nature and reason, and it is really an unpopular strategy. Moreover, it is against the laws and ethics of the earth to destroy the enemy. The more people are killed, the heavier the crime Yuan Shao will bear. One day he will be punished , not a happy ending!"

"Ugh!" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Zhen couldn't help but asked: "Does father also believe in ghosts and gods? Is there really a law of heaven in this world? If the law of heaven really exists, why didn't it fall on Li Thief? You need to know Li thief In recent years, tens of thousands of people have died under his iron heel in Xiliang, why hasn't he received retribution?"

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Cao Zhen in amazement, and murmured thoughtfully: "Zhen'er only knows one thing but doesn't know the other, wouldn't he be unhappy to hear that the law of heaven is clear and retribution? Everything in the world has its own way of life and death, the way of birds and beasts The Tao is the law of the jungle, and the way of human survival is war. These are natural laws that cannot be changed by humans. However, since ancient times, those who use water, fire or man-made natural disasters to kill creatures have never had a good end. Retribution. From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times, to the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, and then to the modern Spring and Autumn and Warring States and Qin and Han dynasties, those who used techniques that violated the harmony of heaven and killed too much were rare. From ancient times to the present, there are no exceptions.

In the past, the pre-Qin general Bai Qi killed 40 Zhao soldiers in one fell swoop, and then he was killed by the first emperor Jiu;Everyone in the world thinks that such killing gods are masters of high merit, and eventually lead to the disaster of killing themselves, but they don't know that the reason why the emperors of all dynasties killed these people was not only because of their high merit, but also because killing them would win countless lost sons, The sincere support of the father and husband's ordinary people, and then consolidate their own country.What is meant by the law of heaven is actually the people's will, and the people's heart is the law of heaven; and retribution is the support of the people's hearts, and those who are resented by the people must not die well! "

At the end, Cao Cao said quietly: "Actually, I discovered Yuan Shao's plot as early as three months ago, and among the entire allied princes, except for Yuan Shao himself, I was the only one who knew about it. Although I did not participate Among them, I am also happy to see the results, anyway, regardless of the casualties of the Allied Army and the Xiliang Army, the dead are enemies; even if they are not enemies now, they will still be enemies in the future. If this is the case, why should I bother myself?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered Cao Ren to lead his army to march along the foot of the left-wing mountain and slowly withdraw from the battlefield.

At this time, Cao Xiu, who had never interjected, suddenly asked: "Since my uncle already knew about Yuan Shao's plan, did you disclose this matter to him when you secretly formed an alliance with Thief Li?"

After Cao Cao heard the sound, he turned his head to look at Cao Xiu in amazement, then rode forward, and lightly dropped three words: "What do you think?"
