Chapter 550 Cloud Gathering

After several consecutive days of heavy rain, the weather was hot again. The wind walked past the dry muddy ground, blew up the puddles that had not yet passed, and rippled around. A team of two or three hundred people escorted a carriage to run over, and the water splashed. The team went down from Taihang to the east of the Yewang and went over the military camp that stretched for two miles. The Cao-like flag was roaring in the wind.

It was Wang Lang who was on the mission to the north. While he was shaking, he stared blankly at the box on the short table, which was Xu You's bones inside. He was so ecstatic that he let out a deep breath. He never thought of such a situation when he was on the mission to the north. The wolf king had a tough attitude, and the prime minister was not a weak person. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again. The sky outside was shining brightly, and it was really time to see the real Zhang.

At the same time, someone came over outside, through the curtains: "...I'll be there a mile ahead to the lord's camp."

"Yes." Wang Lang lifted the curtain, and the outline of the military camp was already in his eyes with a flat and wide view. The sound of trumpets came here. Before he went down the mountain, he received a reward from the fast horse and learned about the situation here. Since Gongsun Zhi killed Xu You, he could probably guess in his heart that the North and Central Plains were going to tear each other apart.

Not long after, the returned team went through several inspections and entered the military camp. The sound of trumpets and drums were blew around the camp. The troops of various troops gathered in an orderly manner on patrols and defended the camp, and strengthened their guards. Teams of soldiers holding spears walked past the tent in the middle. Wang Lang got out of the carriage and pulled over a nearby military officer: "...what happened in the army...is going to fight?"

"Don't you know yet? Gongsun Zhibing is stationed in Tianjing Pass and is about to come to this side." The school official replied, turned around and shouted loudly, saying a few slow-moving soldiers, then disappeared from Wang Lang's sight.

"Are you really going to start a war?" The old man quickly walked towards the big tent over there, and was stopped by a hill-like figure. He leaned on the ground with a tiger-headed sword. Xu Zhuguen shook his head in a muffled voice: "Lord, discuss important matters with the generals, come again later."

In the big tent, Cao Cao's voice came from it vaguely.

"Three days ago, Gongsun Zhi led his army to Tianjing Pass to meet with Yu Du. Now he has left Taihang to approach the Ye Wang, and there is also movement in the Xiliang Army. If the city is taken down by them, once the city is supported, the entire Hanoi County will be basically lost."

There was also a voice suggestion and said: "...We also forced the wild king to make a feint attack, so that Gongsun Zhi and Xu Rong did not dare to attack the city rashly, as their food and fodder could not last long."

"... But our army's crossbows were not enough to last long. It took a lot of inventory to attack Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Runan. Including the fact that the war horses were not as good as Gongsun Zhi, there was also the possibility that they were beaten by the other party..."

"...This is the disadvantage of relying too much on the North at the beginning..."

"Then just negotiate with Gongsun Zhi..."

....

The intermittent words continued for a while, and soon the curtain swayed, and a general of the army came out. When Xun You came out from behind, he saw the old man who had been waiting for a long time, and went over and bowed: "When will the counselor come back? The lord has been waiting inside."

Wang Lang bowed his hand and returned the ceremony, and ordered someone to bring the wooden box containing Xu You's body in. He was in the first place. Cao Cao leaned against the wooden couch and closed his eyes while sleeping. He heard footsteps slightly opened his eyes: "You are back from the north, why don't you see Xu You?"

"He..." Wang Lang looked a little embarrassed, and reached out to take the wooden box from someone else and gently put it on the ground, "Envoy Xu... is here."

On the wooden couch, Cao Cao opened his eyes, stood on the ground with his feet, got up and walked over quickly, opened the wooden box and looked at it, showing a slightly painful expression, and was silent for a while, Adam's apple rolled, and his voice came out in a low voice: "......Your, you are dangerous all the way, and you're going to have a good rest now. After this, I'll give you a reward."

"Lord, when I was in the north, Gongsun Zhi said..."

"You go down and have a good rest, and let's talk about it when you return to Xu."

Wang Lang opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to rush out were blocked. He swallowed them back into his stomach, bowed his hand, and left outside. In the big tent, he calmed down. The wooden box held in his hand was suddenly thrown to the ground. A mottled blood-stained head rolled out. Cao Cao snorted and walked around the pickled head with his hands.

"Ziyuan, 'Fai You, can Ah Man win?' Don't say anything like this in the next life." He murmured softly, then walked back to the seat and called out: "Xu Chu!" Half of his body was penetrated outside the tent, and his voice was like a bronze bell: "What are the lord's instructions?"

Cao Cao waved his robe sleeves and picked up a roll of bamboo slips again to see it: "Take the heads on the ground and dig a hole to bury them."

He read the classics for a while, but he couldn't read them. After a long time, he picked up a wolf pen and wrote a letter, and then handed it to the fast horse. He took Xu Zhu's Huwei camp to set off with the army. At this time, five thousand bows and cavalry had already stepped down from Taihang Mountain, crossed the city, and extended all the way south to Xu Rong, the Xiliang army, and Lu Bu met more than 20 miles northwest of the Yewang, and rushed in the direction of the city.

The sky tilted slightly, shining across the city.

Wang Kuang received the message and came to the city in a carriage, dragging his fat body up with difficulty, his vision spreading in front of him, with a vast 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry spreading forward and backward, and a black mass lined up in the west and slowly moving. The flags fluttered in the wind, as if they had flooded the mountains in the distance.

On the opposite side of it, Cao's army came side by side. Although the number of people was smaller, it was still coming from all over the mountains. Both sides explored their horses and scouts kept galloping in the four fields, presenting a picture of a smoky smoke of spirits.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The war drums on both sides sounded neatly on the field. The troops on both sides pressed their speed and maintained a large array of formations formed by several formations approaching each other. The steps they stepped out thundered and shaking the earth, and the smoke and dust filled the air. Standing on the top of the city, you could almost feel the illusion of shaking slightly.

"Lord, you can't let them be so unscrupulous..." Someone persuaded him behind him.

Wang Kuang pressed his fist against the wall, gritting his teeth and watching all this, "I know, can you fight them with the city gate? That's easy to win... These two people are simply insulting me!!!"

The fist hit hard, and the short and fat body suddenly turned around, waved his hand majestic, and said sternly: "The two armies start war in front of my city, treating me Wang Kuang as if nothing is there. If you don't do anything, wouldn't you tell the people of the world that my princes are clay sculptures?"

However, a voice was shouting: "Lord, a cavalry is coming from outside the city." Wang Kuang turned around and saw the knight stopping and shouting to the city wall: "The prefect of Hanoi County, Wang Kuang, my lord said, move a few cases and a few cushions out!!"
