Chapter 1059 Why Forge?
"Your Majesty really has a strategy of ghosts and gods, and the emperor's handwriting. The little gentleman's formation is also full of opportunities from heaven and earth, rushing to harmonize the qi of yin and yang, participating in the main road, and containing wind and thunder outside. I have used soldiers for many years. I thought I had learned it in my chest. I have studied the world, but I can write books and talk about Taoism, and I never thought of seeing Mr. Xiao in this battle today, so I know that the art of war is exquisite, and there are people beyond others." The voice was mellow and deep, but there was a bit of joy.

In the light of the fire, Cao Mengde's scorched and dark face was finally reflected. Obviously, the hard work of these days had made Cao Cao a little haggard and thin.But at this moment, his eyes were as bright and lively as the jumping flames.

However, the voice of the next reply was a bit gloomy and unwilling: "This is the eight formation plan prepared for Ma Mengqi. Unfortunately, he failed to fall into the trap twice. It is a pity that he cannot get a glimpse of the power of this formation!"

Pang Tong strolled out and stood next to Cao Cao, a master of military use, without losing his face.Although his short body and weird appearance made him look a bit weird, it was this kind of weirdness that made people dare not show any disrespect to him.

At this time, Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard the name 'Ma Mengqi': "Ma Mengqi is indeed a generation of wizards. So he took the sturdy and intricate land full of bandits into his hands, which really made Cao admire."

After saying this, Cao Cao showed a happy smile, and said with emotion: "It is also thanks to the complicated place of Bingzhou that he has been held back all this time, which made His Majesty's plan suddenly launched, and Yuan Shao was defeated. Today , is when the Cao family completely wipes out the Yuan family!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was in a high mood today, Pang Tong couldn't help feeling better. He curled his lips and teased, "Mr. Cao, it's a little too impatient to attack now? Zhang He and Gao Lan still have at least [-] troops. He is also a famous general in hundreds of battles, if he is not included in his command, will he have some regrets?"

"Mr. Pang's words are reasonable, but I don't know if you have any other clever ideas?" Cao Cao chuckled. He loves talents like his life, and naturally he will not let Zhang He and Gao Lan go.

"As long as Mr. Cao's subordinate Han Hao holds a Jun Order, the two of them will bow their heads and bow down!" Pang Tong was also not modest, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xun Ling's calligraphy is superb. It is not difficult to copy Mr. Yuan's handwriting, right?"

"Why do you need to copy the text? Yuan Benchu ​​will naturally give up these two people and the fifty thousand soldiers..." Cao Cao smiled inscrutably at Pang Tong, then turned and returned to the tent of the Chinese army.But Pang Tong looked at Cao Cao's back, and suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly changed: This person may be able to defeat Ma Mengqi, maybe...

At the same time, Zhang He and Gao Lan had been busy in the camps for a long time, maintaining order while mobilizing troops to guard against sneak attacks by Cao's army.At this moment, the guards hurriedly told them to return to their tents, saying that Yuan Shao had sent an envoy.

This envoy came from the main camp, and did not hold Yuan Shao's handbook, but only conveyed Yuan Shao's oral statement.The oral narration was very short, first he questioned why these two men were so incompetent, then scolded them why they suffered such serious losses, and finally announced the removal of their military power, and immediately went to the main camp to accept the crime.

Juhu has a very close relationship with the two of them, and they still dare not fully trust them.And this person has no evidence, and this statement alone is not enough to be believed.However, after the two looked at each other tacitly, they actually believed the man's words - the reason was very simple, they knew their lord very well, such a thing was completely expected.

What's more, the person's hair was gray, his face was extremely thin, and his chin was as sharp as an awl.In particular, he also has a pair of uncomfortable triangular eyes, which give people a feeling of greed for profit - the person who has this respect is naturally Yuan Shao's core strategist Xu You.A person of his stature does not need to lie to Zhang He and Gao Lan at all.

Xu You remained motionless, his face sinking like water.After Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other in horror again, Gao Lan stood up and asked Xu You: "Mr. In fact, these military leaders have a good relationship with the Jizhou faction of Jushou and the Yingchuan people of the Xin brothers, but they have a bad relationship with the Nanyang faction of Xu You, Shenpei, and Fengji.But the victory is that he doesn't have much hatred. Gao Lan tried it out, but he went to the doctor in a hurry.

But Xu You's answer made the two of them fall into an ice cave: "It's just like the result you two wanted."

"Really?" Gao Lan's face was ashen, not because he was frightened, but because of a kind of coldness in his body, which eroded all his vitality: "We have been with the lord for so many years, and the lord wants to kill him for his face. The two of us are going to die?"

"My lord is too ruthless, isn't it?" Compared to Gao Lan's heartbreak, Zhang Yun was so angry that he yelled, "We have followed the lord painstakingly since the beginning of the army, so many years..."

"It is precisely because you have been with the lord for so many years that you don't know this. Now that the Wuchao is on fire, our army's defeat is certain. If the lord doesn't find you two as scapegoats, how can he save face?" Xu You interrupted Zhang He, calmly. He said in surprise, as if he was talking about other people's affairs to the two of them: "Hebei's Four Courtyard Columns, from today onwards, will become history..."

Zhang He's anger faltered all of a sudden. Judging from the results of the battle, the two court pillars were indeed incompetent this time, and they were indeed defeated, which damaged the prestige of Hebei's troops.It's unbelievable that the two of them were not the scapegoats for this war.But the problem is, now that the army is almost finished, why does the lord care about these pretense? !
Quickly withdrawing to Jizhou, defending against the river and keeping the enemy out of the country are the most important issues he should consider!In fact, the two of them just wanted to use this point to make meritorious deeds and save their big defeat here—after all, this was Yuan Shao's order, and at most they had improper command and did not make a fatal mistake!
They even asked Feng Ji if he needed to send troops to reinforce Wuchao! !

Now, however, everything is shattered.Zhang He looked at Gao Lan, and asked a little dejectedly, "Then what should I do?"

"There is only one way, it depends on whether you dare or not." Gao Lan said leisurely.

"what?"

"Go to Cao Ying again."

"Go again? This time I'm even more unmoved."

"Who asked you to fight? We can go to vote..."

Zhang He's eyes widened, and he drew out the knife in a "swipe", Gao Lan jumped back, asking what you want to do repeatedly.Zhang He smiled and swung his knife to attack Xu You.

"Slow down!" Xu You was still looking leisurely just now, watching the interesting performance of the two.Unexpectedly, these two men were really ready-to-do generals, and they wanted to show their sincerity to Cao Cao with his head, and he immediately panicked: "Don't do it, your own!"

Xu You's words immediately made Zhang He smile wryly, especially the atmosphere in the tent was even more interesting: before Xu You looked like a superior man, cynicism and condescension.But now he was sitting slumped on the ground, trembling in front of Zhang Xi's big knife, which made people feel a little too late to react.

"Mr. Xu, you are making a big joke." Gao Lan also drew out the knife at this time, and put it on Xu You's neck: "We are going to vote for Cao, what are you going to do?"

"The old man is Cao Cao's man, how can you say it's a meddling?" Xu You blurted out this sentence, but after saying it, he seemed to feel that he had lost face, and changed his words: "No, the old man and Cao Cao are running around. My friend, it was Cao Mengde who persuaded the old man many times, and the old man turned his back on the dark."

Zhang He and Gao Lan looked at each other after hearing this, and then looked at Xu You with a sneer: This kind of news is a timely help. If Xu You is handed over to the lord, the lord might automatically take Xu You as a scapegoat ...

Xu You is so smart. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, he immediately understood their thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Don't be delusional, don't you know the master's temper? According to me, not only will he not spare you two, he will Behead the three of us to show the public. This old man lost the bet to Cao Mengde, and he is willing to accept the bet. You two, if you want to come, come with you. If you don’t want to come, just read it for the sake of our colleagues, and go your own way!"

Zhang He and Gao Lan sighed, put away their knives at the same time, and helped Xu You...
