Xiaoguangong

Chapter 34 Cracks
Cao Cao dreamed back in the middle of the night, and suddenly sat up, panting heavily, and shouted desperately:

"Someone! Somebody!"

The guard at the door responded tremblingly, and Cao Cao trembled all over, and quickly let out a sigh of relief:
"No, don't come in."

He wrapped the brocade quilt violently around his body. The brocade quilt was soft and warm, making his whole body warm, but it still couldn't dispel the cold shiver in his heart.

He dreamed of Cao Chun again just now.

The young and unruly cousin stood beside his bed with blood all over his face, crying and asking Cao Cao why he didn't avenge himself.

He and his tiger and leopard riders were invincible in all battles. White Wolf Mountain, Changbanpo, and all kinds of strong winds and waves broke through, but they died inexplicably in the overwhelming attack. None of the tiger and leopard riders who followed him in the battle could survive Come back to report the news, but Zhang Yun has to come back in full.

Zhang Yun's subordinates said that Zhang Yun had already surrounded Liu Bei's army at that time, and he was fighting with Guan Ping himself, but something happened. Zhang Yun was safe and sound, but Cao Chun, who was still a hundred steps away, Suddenly fell off the horse.

Cao Ren cried and demanded that Zhang Yun should be punished. At least Zhang Yun should be arrested and tortured to find out the truth of the night. But Cao Cao thought for a long time, but he endured his grief and rejected the proposal.

The arrest of Zhang Yun will definitely cause turmoil in the Jingzhou army.

Patience, patience.

When he is defeated, he must avenge Zihe!

He breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a dull pain in his temple, so he simply put on the fox fur, limped and walked out of the big house slowly, preparing to blow the cold wind outside.

Cao Cao pushed open the door and saw that the guards at the door retreated a little bit in horror, he couldn't help but wonder:
"what happened?"

A guard bravely whispered:
"Just now there seems to be a mobilization of soldiers and horses in the city."

Mobilization of troops?Cao Cao's heart sank when he heard this.

In the middle of the night, there was a mobilization of soldiers and horses in the city, but no one came to report to him. This was not a question of whether to rebel or not.

"Who is so bold?" he asked hoarsely.

Several guards dared not answer, so Cao Cao snorted, and immediately called for Dong Zhao to ask.

Dong Zhao woke up early and was waiting for Cao Cao's call. He calmly told Cao Cao that it was his cousin Cao Hong who mobilized the troops.

Oh, that's okay, if it's Zilian, he must be afraid of making a noise so I can rest.

Cao Cao trusted his family all his life. When he heard that Cao Hong mobilized his troops, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and lazily prepared to turn around and go back to sleep.

But now a gust of cold wind was blowing, Cao Cao shivered for no reason, and stood still involuntarily.

"No." He said hoarsely, "Why is Gongren here?"

It was normal for Cao Hong to mobilize troops, but Dong Zhao woke up early and waited for him. There must be something wrong with it. He turned around and stared at Dong Zhao intently, making Dong Zhao tremble uncontrollably.

"Yes, that's right." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Dong Zhao could only truthfully say, "There are bandits attacking by the riverside. General Jiao and General Wen have already led their troops to chase them. I am afraid that the prime minister will ask you, so I am waiting."

"No!" Cao Cao's drowsiness had completely disappeared by now. He gave Dong Zhao a vicious look, and then asked his servants to put on his coat and bring his horse, and hurried towards the barracks by the river.

If it was a small bandit, how dare he come to Jiangling to make trouble?Why let Wenpin, who has a heavy responsibility, send troops to chase after him?There must be something odd.

Dong Zhao trotted along with Cao Cao, telling Cao Cao that these thieves came from the lower reaches, and left quickly after approaching the river bank.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more anxious he became, he knew that something must have happened.

He galloped to the river, and saw crowds of people moving along the river from a distance, and there were dots of torches everywhere.

He rode his horse in spite of everything, and the crowd gave way one after another. Cao Cao, Marquis Xia and all the counselors under Cao Jun's command unexpectedly arrived. They formed a circle, and inside the circle stood the big and round Cao Hong.

The general of the Cao family was dragging a person like a dead dog to trample hard, and then bent down and beat him with his fists. The person screamed and could only protect his face with his hands, and the thumping sound of fists to flesh could be heard. Everyone couldn't bear to frown, not daring to look any more.

"I beat you to death, the dog kills you, you did it, and you dare to deny it, it's you dog kills who want to kill us! I kill you, I kill you!"

Cao Hong looked like a madman, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were not there, no one could stop the Cao family warrior, Cao Cao yelled to stop, and rushed up again, Cao Cao surrounded him and persuaded Cao Hong to stop.

Under the flickering light of the torches, Cao Cao was shocked to see that the almost inhuman figure beaten by Cao Hong was General Wenpin of the Jingzhou Army, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"Zhongye!" He exclaimed, and hurriedly called for Wenpin to be treated. Seeing that Wenpin's face was covered with blood, and he looked pitiful, Cao Cao kicked Cao Hong hard again.

"What do you want! Why! Why!"

Cao Hong clenched his teeth and said bitterly:
"Brother! These Jingzhou people have bad intentions! They saw that our army is powerful, so they pretended to surrender, but they wanted to kill us all while our army was stationed!
Zihe was killed by them like this before, and this time they did it again!If I hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid all of us would have died here, bro! "

"Nonsense!" Cao Cao was startled and angry, and kicked Cao Hong again, "Nonsense! Who told you this nonsense, who is it!"

The hero who had conquered most of the north was panting heavily, and subconsciously looked around while cursing, only to see Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Han Song and others lower their heads subconsciously, and the anger in their hearts was even more unspeakable.

"What's going on, what's going on!" Cao Cao asked angrily.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xun You stepped forward helplessly: "Prime Minister, it is Guan Ping who attacked tonight!"

Guan Ping!

Hearing this name, Cao Cao's mind hummed again, and he almost couldn't stand still.

Xun You narrated that Guan Ping first attacked with a small fleet, tricking Jiao Chu and Wenpin into chasing him, and then they suddenly turned around and inflicted heavy damage on Cao Jun. It even led the army to defect before the battle, causing Cao Jun to pay a huge loss.

Cao Cao only felt another sharp pain in his head, but Xun You was always cautious, and he must have come to the conclusion after careful inquiry and investigation.

Guan Ping actually came to sneak attack?Also achieved a big victory?

"How many people did he bring?" Cao Cao blurted out.

Xun You looked dignified and tremblingly said:
"The soldiers who escaped said that there were only more than 20 civilian ships, and at most... 2000 people."

"Impossible!" Cao Hong waved his arms desperately, and sternly said, "How is it possible! How is it possible! You haven't counted Wenpin and these Jingzhou dogs! They have 7000 men, more than a hundred warships, and enough swords. I'm afraid I'll have to wait forever..."

"To shut up!"

Cao Cao slapped Cao Hong hard on the face, causing Cao Hong to stumble.

Cai Mao and Han Song exchanged meaningful glances, Kuai Yue's eyes twinkled, and his smile was particularly bitter.

Cao Hong's face was full of resentment, he stared viciously at the Jingzhou family, and suddenly laughed.

"Guan Ping entered the chaos this time, fought several battles, and killed people on their backs. Brother, do you know how many people were killed or injured?"

"How many people?" Cao Cao asked casually.

"Including Jiaochu, five people were killed in battle, more than ten people were wounded, and another 500 people defected. One lost ship, five warships, three fighting ships, twelve walking ships, food, ordnance, Armor does not count.

Before leaving, Mr. Guan was very polite and said to thank Prime Minister for the boat! "

Cao Cao only felt a hacksaw being pulled back and forth on top of his head. He wanted to say something to calm down the weird atmosphere, but his temples twitched a few times. He felt the darkness in front of him, and he couldn't help but fell down with a bang. on the ground.

Before losing consciousness, a violent thought flashed through his mind.

Why is it Guan Ping again!

There must be something strange in this.
