The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 315 Jia Xu Loves Dried Meat

Cao Cao did get three thousand soldiers and horses from Lin Chao this time.

However, when he left with 3000 people, he was not in a good mood, and even had a constipated expression on his face.

Because Lin Chao wanted him to do one thing, something he didn't want to do but had to do.

And this thing...

When Cao Cao first heard it, his first reaction was disbelief, but when he saw Lin Chao's eyes, he knew that Lin Chao was serious.

Moreover, Lin Chao also personally promised that this is just a proposal, and it will be up to Cao Cao to choose what to do at that time.

Cao Cao didn't agree, nor did he say no. He just kept silent for a long time, and finally he bowed his hands to Lin Chao, turned and left.

He was going to follow the coalition army to discuss Dong, so he had a disagreement with Yuan Shao.In Yuan Shao's camp, there is another prince who is willing to follow Cao Cao, and this person is Bao Xin.

Bao Yuncheng is Yuan Shao's younger brother in name, but in fact he is Cao Cao's fanboy. When he heard that Cao Cao was going to part ways with Yuan Shao, he immediately sided with Cao Cao.The last time Cao Cao attacked alone, he left without saying goodbye. If Bao Xin knew, he would definitely go with him.

As for Yuan Shao...

Who is Yuan Benchu?
How come I, Bao Yuncheng, have never heard of this name!
After Cao Cao left, Jia Xu and Guo Jia came in from outside the tent, and they walked hand in hand in front of Lin Chao.

Guo Jia asked, "Zi Chu, are you looking for us?"

Lin Chao nodded, but looked at Jia Xu.

To be exact, it was just looking for Jia Xu, it didn't really matter if Guo Jia came or not.

Lin Chao is now a military adviser of the Allied Army. Although he has little real power, there is always a military adviser here. Yuan Shu is not Liu Bei. Naturally, he must always ensure that Lin Chao is in his sight, so he may ask for advice from time to time.

As a result, some things that are inconvenient to do on the bright side can only be entrusted to others.

And the best candidate is Jia Xu.

Regarding this point, Jia Xu naturally understood, but she was a little reluctant in her heart.

I just want to dawdle, just eat and drink enough, who knew that you, Lin Zichu, specially asked me to do dirty work!
If things go on like this, Jia Xu even suspects that one day she will be silenced by Lin Chao because she knows too much...

But now, Jia Xu looked at the pocket in Lin Chao's hand, smelled the smell of dried meat coming out of it, and swallowed a wave of saliva reluctantly.

Damn, although I know that Lin Zichu has no good intentions, I just can't help it!

Judging by the smell, Jia Xu can be sure that this pocket is not jerky, but beef jerky that he has been thinking about day and night!
Killing a farming ox is a serious crime, but if a certain old and dim-eyed farming ox accidentally fell to his death in front of the Lin Mansion, then a certain Xuzhou governor, who did not want to be named, would definitely make it into jerky with tears in his eyes .

Such life and death mourning, just now can live up to the nobility of this cattle!
Therefore, Lin Chao had beef jerky in his hands, and coincidentally brought it out, and even more coincidentally, he took it out in front of Jia Xu at this time.

The purpose, of course, is that I want to eat two yuan when I am greedy, and it is definitely not to seduce Jia Xu.

As he spoke, Lin Chao reached into his pocket, grabbed a handful, followed Jia Xu's example of eating jerky, stuffed it all into his mouth, and chewed it contentedly.

As a result, not only Jia Xu was greedy, but Guo Jia almost couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zi Chu... If someone is not mistaken, this should be beef jerky!" Guo Jia swallowed and asked.

Meat, Guo Jia has eaten.

But beef is rarely a chance to taste it, let alone jerky made of beef.

Lin Chao ate the jerky and mumbled, "Feng Xiao, be more confident and remove the word 'should'."

Hearing this, Guo Jia immediately accused with a serious face: "Why do you have beef jerky to eat! Zichu, I have to advise you, don't kill cattle for your own appetite! You need to know, How many people have to rely on a farm ox to survive! No, I have to report this matter to the Lord..."

Seeing that Guo Jia was chattering uncharacteristically, Lin Chao quickly grabbed another handful and stuffed it into his hand.

This time, Guo Jia stopped talking, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and showed a satisfied expression the next moment.

Well, it smells so good!

Guo Jia is sure that this is definitely the meat of farm cattle, otherwise how could it be so strong!

Jia Xu watched the two of them eat jerky from the side, but didn't even plan to share a bite with herself, and couldn't help but cursed Lin Chao for being shameless.

Lin Zichu, you bastard!
Why, Guo Fengxiao can eat it, but a certain one can't?
"Zichu...this...someone also wants to..."

Jia Xu tried very hard to smile at Lin Chao, and stretched out his hand.

"Oh, you want Wenhe too?"

Lin Chao blinked his eyes, looking confused.

Jia Xu:……

Lin Chao smiled and said, "You want to tell me earlier!"

Jia Xu:……

"Here's a big one for you."

With that said, Lin Chao took out another bag from the side and threw it all to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu took it, and looked at Lin Chao suspiciously. After confirming that the pocket in his hand was filled with dried meat, he was relieved.

Lin Zichu was...not too bad.

Thinking about it, Jia Xu grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, but the next moment, his eyes widened immediately.

"Lin Zichu, this is dried mutton!"

You eat beef jerky and I eat mutton jerky, what do you mean?
Lin Chao continued to laugh and said, "They're all dried meat, what's the difference, what does Feng Xiao think?"

At this moment, Guo Jia was eating happily, nodded repeatedly and said: "What Zichu said is very true, the marching road is difficult, and it is good to eat jerky, how can there be so many particulars!"

Jia Xu was already unable to complain, and didn't want to talk to the two of them.

Can't be angry, absolutely can't be angry, I have cultivated my energy for nearly twenty years, how can I be distracted by Lin Zichu...

But, I really can't help it!

Lin Zichu, you are too deceitful!
Here, after Lin Chao finished eating the beef jerky in his hands, he looked at Jia Xu who had a calm face but was scolding in his heart, and said with a smile, "Wenhe, how about doing something for someone?"

Jia Xu sneered and shook her head resolutely.

Hmph, based on what you did just now, you still want someone to help you, I really don't know what to say!
Lin Chao pointed to the beef jerky in his hand: "If you agree, this bag will be yours."

Jia Xu sneered again.

Just relying on this bag of jerky that was left over by you, you Lin Zichu sent a beggar!

Lin Chao continued to increase his chips: "How about adding another bag?"

Jia Xu still sneered.

But the next moment, Jia Xu stretched out his hand and raised three fingers.

At least three bags!

Otherwise, talk about it!

……

Sun Jian is in the camp.

Cheng Pu knelt on the ground, his face was full of shame, he cupped his hands and said: "General, it is someone who failed to find out the enemy's situation, which caused our army to be defeated. Please punish the general!"

He thought that the main force of Dong Zhuo's army must be behind Zhang Xiu, so he thought of retreating while fighting.

Who knew that Zhang Xiu had only 5000 people, and he rushed over like this, and he was only concerned with retreating, and he didn't dare to resist at all. I was caught off guard.

Cheng Pu's heart was full of remorse. At that time, he had almost completed the defensive array. If he fought Zhang Xiu desperately, Zhang Xiu would never be able to defeat him in a short time, and nothing later would happen.

Faced with Cheng Pu's apology, Sun Jian didn't say a word, but shook his head with a gloomy expression.

This battle was just a small defeat, and Sun Jian didn't care.

In these years of fighting, failure has long been a common occurrence, and it is enough to fight back later.

It's just that this battle is unusual...

The impact of this failure is by no means as simple as the loss of troops.

As the vanguard of the coalition forces, with an army of 5000 in hand, he was actually defeated by an unknown junior with [-] men!
If it was spread, it would be a small matter for him to lose his reputation, and it would not be a big problem for Yuan Shu's prestige to drop. The key point is that he might never have a chance to fight back.

You know, Gongsun Zan's [-] army is twenty miles behind him!
If he is defeated, Gongsun Zan will definitely take the opportunity to speak to Yuan Shu and appoint him as the vanguard to continue the campaign against Dong Zhuo.Even if Yuan Shu had his heart towards him, he had no reason to object.

In this way, as the general of the defeated army, the chance of counterattack is extremely slim, and this time, there is no guarantee that he will gain nothing!

Thinking of this, Sun Jian couldn't help shaking his head and sighing!

This battle... was careless!
At this time, Sun Ce came in from the outside, cupped his fists and said, "Father, most of the defeated soldiers have gathered here now."

After the defeat in this battle, all the soldiers under Sun Jian's command were scattered and defeated by Zhang Xiu, and now they are gradually returning.

Hearing this, Sun Jian stood up, and said solemnly: "Sun Bofu, please remember that this is a military camp, there are no fathers and sons, only generals! I think you are the first offender, I will forgive you this time, if you dare to do it again , will not be spared!"

"As ordered, General!"

Sun Ce knew that his father was not in a very good mood right now, so he hurriedly bowed his hands and agreed.

Sun Jian nodded and asked, "How many soldiers did our army lose in this battle?"

"Returning to the general, the subordinates have just made an inventory. Including the gathered soldiers, there are less than 5000 left." Sun Ce clasped his hands and replied.

Ugh!
Sun Jian sighed again.

A total of 5000 people just disappeared...

Of course, not all of these 5000 people were killed by Zhang Xiu. Some of them were captured, and some of them could not find their way back after being dispersed, or they took the opportunity to escape.

Those who were killed were only a small part.

Sun Jian was silent for a moment, this time he looked at Cheng Pu who was kneeling at his feet, and said, "Demou, this battle is all your fault, but right now is the time for employing people, let me write down your crimes, You are allowed to take the crime and make meritorious deeds. If you commit the crime again, you will be punished for both crimes! Get up first."

"Thank you General!"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu immediately stood up.

Sun Jian has a strong personality and never likes to be courteous to his subordinates. If he says to punish you, he must be punished.To say no longer pursue it is to really not pursue it.

Cheng Pu, who has followed him for many years, naturally understood what was going on.

Sun Jian looked around and said to the generals in a low voice: "Although the crime of this battle is morality, there is also a reason for underestimating the enemy. From now on, after returning to the camp, you need to strictly enforce military discipline, motivate soldiers, and improve morale Tomorrow someone will attack in person, vowing to destroy the army of thieves!
Our army has already been defeated once, and we must never lose again!If you lose again, you will be beheaded from below! "

Hearing this, all the generals were shocked, and they clasped their fists together and said, "Obey!"

Now that the defeat has been decided, the only remedy Sun Jian can think of is to fight a big victory before the coalition forces can react.

In this way, the previous small defeat can be completely explained by the trick of the arrogant enemy.Even as long as there is a big victory, the previous defeat does not need to be explained at all.

At that time, not only will the vanguard position be his own, but the princes will also think highly of him.

It was with this kind of thinking that Sun Jian wanted to clean up military discipline and boost morale, so that he could win a big victory.

Just when the generals were about to return to the camp, a messenger trotted in, knelt down on one knee, and reported to Sun Jian: "General, the enemy has already arrived outside the camp and is shouting!"

What, it came so fast!
Hearing this, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

He had just lost once, and if he fought again at this time, the chance of losing would be even greater.

But Sun Jian couldn't see any waves on his face, and asked the messenger, "How many enemy troops are here?"

The messenger replied: "General, there are about 2 people!"

Actually dispatched 2 people!

It seems that the vanguard of Dong's army intends to wipe out my Sun Wentai's troops!
Sun Jian sneered.

You were lucky enough to win a small victory because of your carelessness before, and you really didn't think that XX was a soft persimmon.

Forget it, let the old thief Dong Zhuo see if I, Sun Wentai, are the ones to be manipulated by others!
