Cao Cao came to XiahouDun's room and smelled a strong smell of blood. He frowned. His face, which was not handsome, was dignified.

Now the left shoulder of harhoudun was bound up. After dressing, the wound still appears dark red. Visible bandage, still left a lot of blood.

It was because there was so much blood that he was now pale and powerless. Although the pain on his left shoulder was still coming wave by wave, his heart was even more lost.

He is a general in the army.

He is one of the pillars of the Cao army.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated by an old man and his arm was cut off. If it wasn't for Dian Wei's short gun throwing, which disrupted Wang Yue's rhythm, and finally Lu Bu's timely rescue, he would have died under the opponent's sword.

Cao Cao went to his bed and comforted him: "Yuan rang, once you lost an eye and became a blind summer Marquis, but you are still majestic. Now, though one arm has been broken, I believe you, Charlotte Houghton, are not the one to admit defeat. I believe you can cheer up again. "

The summer Hou Dun ha ha laughs, the facial expression miserably way: "Si Kong, I am not particularly useless.". It's just that Lv Bu is not as good as Zhang Xiu. After all, Zhang Xiu's strength is obvious to all. But I was defeated by an old man. Shame, shame

"No, you're not ashamed!"

Cao Cao shook his head and answered firmly.

Xia Houdun said: "Sikong doesn't have to comfort me. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at the fighting outside the castle. Everyone has his own judgment and can judge the outcome. Sikong comforted me, but he didn't have to pity me so much. "

Cao Cao said, "I'm not pitying you."

After a pause, Cao Cao said, "do you know who defeated you?"

"Who is it?" said XiahouDun

Cao Cao replied, "this man was Wang Yue, the former Emperor's master. When I was an official in Luoyang, Wang Yue became the swordsmanship teacher of Liu Hong, the former Emperor, and taught the Emperor today."

"Of course, Wang Yue, the emperor's teacher, has moisture."

"Rao is so. It can't be denied that Wang Yue's swordsmanship is invincible. Before that, when Zhang Xiu went to Xudu, I recognized Wang Yue at that time, but there was no intersection with Wang Yue, so I didn't care about him. "

"Wang Yue's swordsmanship is extremely powerful."

Cao Cao said, "it's no shame that you are defeated by Wang Yue. In fact, you failed because you were careless. Did you notice that Wang Yue killed your horses at the beginning, and then you fought step by step. "

"What Wang is good at is footwork."

"Only in this way can his swordsmanship be fully developed."

"When fighting on horseback, Wang Yue won't have an advantage. If you have been fighting Wang Yue on horseback, the injured person is not you, but Wang Yue. It's a pity that when you were fighting with Wang Yue, you didn't understand each other's situation. "

Cao Cao earnestly advised: "Yuan rang, even if you lose one arm, can't you lead the army with one arm? Can't you fight with one arm? "

"I think you can do it!"

Cao Cao said, "you, XiahouDun, are a man of noble character. You are strong enough to cheer up and go to the battlefield again. When will the men of Cao's and Xiahou's families cry on their beds. A man would rather die on the battlefield than die in silence. "

XiahouDun listened to Cao Cao's words, and his expression gradually recovered in his dark eyes. In his eyes, there was more fighting spirit. He nodded solemnly and said, "Sikong, don't worry. XiahouDun understands."

"If only you knew!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Zi Lian has passed away. I hope you can cheer up. Because no matter I want to avenge Zilian, you also want to avenge Zilian. "

"I understand!"

XiahouDun nodded again.

Cao Cao comforted Houdun again, then stood up and left. At this time, Cao Cao went back to the city tower, the hall where he lived, and arranged for people to call Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Xun you, Cheng Yu and others.

Cao Cao's eyes, looking at the people: "Zhang Xiu left before the words, you all hear. It is obviously impossible for us to draw on the strength of Xinye county and consume Zhang Xiu's troops. Zhang Xiu is now stationed ten miles south of Xinye county. He said he would attack Yuyang county north of Xinye county. What do you think? "

Everyone thought about it in their hearts.

As a spokesman for Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang took the lead in saying: "Cao Sikong, I think that Zhang Xiu's words are true or false, false or true. I'm not sure for the time being."

"If we withdraw and leave Xinye county because of Zhang Xiu's words, I'm afraid we will encounter Zhang Xiu immediately. You know, our military strength today is no match for Zhang Xiu. "

"We have only about 40000 people today. But after Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong joined up, the number of troops has exceeded 50000. If the confrontation with Zhang Xiu is positive, it may not be Zhang Xiu's opponent. ""So now, I think it's appropriate to adopt the strategy of static braking."

Zhuge Liang said: "we will continue to garrison Xinye county. If Zhang Xiu is stationed outside the city and doesn't send troops, we don't care. If Zhang Xiu really wants to go north to Yuyang County, we will attack Zhang Xiu again. But even if we attack, we can't attack head-on. We have to talk about strategy. "

Cao Cao nodded and said, "what Kong Ming said is reasonable. However, at present, what we should consider is not the issue of sending troops, but the current situation. Any possibility of Zhang Xiu must be considered clearly. In this way, whether Zhang Xiu sends troops or not, she can respond at any time. "

Zhuge Liang nodded and said no more.

The next war will surely be dominated by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei's army only plays a supporting role. If it is beneficial to Liu Bei, Liu Bei can participate. If it is unfavorable to Liu Bei, Liu Bei can completely refuse.

Guo Jiachen said in a voice: "Lord, I think Zhang Xiu may send troops to the north. The reason why he wants to send troops is to lure us to fight so as to win us easily. "

"If we stick to Xinye all the time, it's no problem to keep Xinye city. The point is that even if Xinye has food and weapons, it is not a long-term solution. "

"Because Zhang Xiu is stationed outside, we can cut off our grain supply. If you don't fight, it's not right. So my suggestion is that according to Zhang Xiu's plan to send troops to the north, we will do everything we can. "

Cool color flashed in Guo Jia's eyes.

In that pair of dark and shining eyes, there was a more intelligent look.

Cao Cao asked, "how do you plan?"

Guo Jiamo rubbed his beard under his jaw, thought a little, and then said: "it can be predicted that the first step we will take after Zhang Xiu's troops are aimed at Zhang Xiu's army. We do this..."

Immediately, Guo Jia began to elaborate the detailed plan. A whole plan, involving a multi-step plan, step by step plan out, Guo Jia is still clear thinking.

After Guo Jia finished, he made a pause, and then he concluded: "Zhang Xiu wants to go north. Let's take advantage of the situation. According to the possibility, every possibility is calculated. In the end, we are so sure to win

Cao Cao stroked his beard, looked at the people under his command and asked, "what do you think of the proposal of filial piety?"

"I agree!"

Xun you nodded in agreement.

Guo Jia's plan is quite complete, and Xun you agrees with it.

Cheng Yu also said: "humble position also agrees."

Everyone agreed, and even Zhuge Liang motioned Liu Bei to agree.

When the plan was made, Cao Cao immediately gave orders to make arrangements for the next war.
